NOT AN OFFICIAL.
A Coiored Policy Player Causes Dis
may Among the Cabmen.

A young colored man, resplendent in a
box coat, lavender CATERS and violet
boutonniere, created something OF q
panic among the night cab men waiting
for a job on Dorrance street last night by
copying the numbers on the carriage
lamps into a memorandum.
The drivers thought it was something
official and that their licenses were going
TO be revoked with or without notice
with or without hearing, for they had heard
that such procedure was possible. But
the colored man was not an official but q
follower of fortune along the line of
policy, who had reduced the suggestions
OF omens to science and superstition~to
a fine art. His note taking was merely to
secure new combinations and in logical
way to derive gigs from coupes. After
finishing the hacks the player made note
of the first street number that caught his
eye as he turned the corner, divided that
by the number OF cars that passed that
point in given time, and then retired.

CONTEST FOR SEATS

Congressmen This Week.
BRIEF REVIEW OF FOUR CASES
Involving Fine TechnIcalities and Al
legged Bulldozing-The Republicans
VIII Insist Upon the Presence OF a
Quorum This Week.


WASHINGTON. March 10 AS soon rs the
sundry civil appropriation bill is disposed
Of, which will probably be tonight. the
house will take up the four contested
election cases which are pending, the
O'Neill-Joy case case from the Eleventh
Missouri district, the Williams-Settle
case from the Fifth North Carolina, the
English Hilborn case from the Third Cali
fornia, and the Whately- Cobb case from
the Fifth Alabama.
The O'Nesll-Joy and English Hilborn
cases, which were both decided against the
sitting memb bers (Reps) by strict party
votes I'm the committee on elections, are
the most important and will require the
major portion of the time. In both the
cases the result of the election in Novem-
ber, 1892 was exceedingly close. There
were two counts in the O'Neill-Joy elec-
tion, the recount giving Joy (Rep.) 67 plu-
rality. O'Neill being beaten on the face
os the returns, has instituted the contest
on the ground that the Missouri election
law had not been complied with. 1t having
been shown that some OF the Joy ballots
had not been numbered and initiated AS
required by that law.
The case before the COMMITTEES hinged
upon the determination of the question
rs to whether the Missouri election law
in this particular should be regarded as
mandatory or simply directory. The
members OF the committee wavered for
some time. but finally decided by n strict
party vote that the law was mandatory
and that its technicalities had not been
observed. This decision gave the seat to
O'Neill Dem)
A Close Contest.
In the English Hilborn case, English re-
ceived l3, 100 on the face Of the returns
against Hilborn's 1890. English's con-
test rested on the claim that in one pre-
cinct the returns had been manipulated
beyond doubt. and his attorneys charged
that while Hilborn was not responsible
for 1t, he had been the beneficiary OF that
manipulation. At the close of the case,
Hilborn's attorneys still claimed his cleo
tion by one vote but, the Democrats OF
the committee decided in favor of English.
In the williams-Settle case the contest
ant alleged that the sitting member had
been elected by the bulldozing and in
timidation of negro voters by the Repub-
licans, but most of the Democrats refused
to sustain his contention. Mr.. Woodward
Dem., N. CO., however, dissented from
the decision of his colleagues.
In the whately Cobb case the commit
tee unanimously decided against the con-
testant, who was Populist, and his case
can have no standing in the house what
ever.
