TOLEDO, Feb. 23.-Pcrhaps tho most
sensational turn in tho all absorbing
A. +. A. case to-day was tho notice OF
appeal by u. F. Reno, attorney for tho
defendant, in tho case OF Rummcl
against Ostrandor, as treasurer OF Coun.
Gil No. . for the payment OF ten rifles,
which was tried in Justice Scugrcayes'
court Wednesday,. Mr.. Ostraudcr is
highly inceused at tho verdict and
makes many charges against members
OF the order, who, ho elaine, deserted
him and worked against him in tho law
suit. lie goes SO far as 10 say that the
Justice before whom the case was ar
gued had his charge to the Jury all
written out before Il word OF evidence
had been taken.
The affair has assumed such proper
tions that split in tho order is threat
cncd, which will, il it does not disrupt
the society in this city, at least destroy
its political influence. 0aIrandcr haa
been talking freely since the suit was
decided against him, and has not only
revealed tho number OF rifles purchased
to resist the labor day massacre, but has
given out the names Of those VINO pur-
chased them, among which arc several
prominent business men, politicians
and city officials. Mayor Major, who Is
the ayowed candidate OF the association
for governor. and who has announced
himself as congressional candidate us
well. is among the number charged with
having purchased rifle. The MAYOR
denied tho implication this morning,
when the disgruntled treasurer cIinched
his statement by producing 4 receipt
bearing the signature OF tho city execu-
tive.
An effort is being made to have tho
appeal to common pleas court with
drawn Us the members OF the society
say that nothing can be gained by fur
thcr agitation oil what they term tenn
pest in teapot. 1t is denied by these
members that Treasurer ustrander will
be ablo to account for the missing ten
guns over which the contention arose,
but rather than have the affair 20 fur
thcr, they will compromise matters.
Whether or not the case is reopencd in
common pleas court 1t is probable that
tho matter will be Investigated by
federal or state authorities, az tho in
stigation OF parties VINO assert that the
arining OF secret body is in violation
OF both the constitution OF Ohio and oil
the union.

Rio De Janeiro received to-day state
that Peixoto has stopped all tclcsraphic
communication between that city and
Bahia. This action is supposed to have
been taken on account OF recent events
in Bahia, which have weakened the act

here that the government squadron has
mutinied, and that tho insurgent army
in the southern part OF Brazil is ad.

WAsnISdToN, D. c., Feb. 23.-Repre-
sentative Holman, Of the Democratic
caucus OF the house, will call caucus
at an early day to consider change in
the house ruIes BY which members can
be compelled to vote TO make n quorum.
The call is in response to written re,

Democratic members. Tho request ia
the direct result OF q previous demon.
stration in the house.
The name OF Mr.. Bland ia not on tho

ing the disorder OF yesterday, he saws
public opinion should rebukc those re.
anonsible for it and that change OF
rules is not desirable. The New York.

arc not anxious to strengthen the rules

Numerous plans for strengthening

one most generally approved is to pro-
vide that the attention OF the speaker
may be directed to the fact that a mem.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 23.-It is
said ut the department OF justice that
the reported arming Of organized bands
OF men In Toledo, Ohio, under the aus
pices OF tho American Protective Asso-
citation has not in the remotest way re-
ceived the attention OF the oGicials OF
the department. Ono officer OF the de-
parsment pointed out that the organi-
cation Of armed bands to parade tho
streets would certainly be violation Of
the law in many oi tho states, as the
courts have sustained Unconstitutional
ty OF laws which prohibit the marching
in public OF armed bodies other than
regular organized militia. Tie purchase
by an individual OF gun or other
weapon would not OF course be in viola
ton OF the law, but the meeting together
Of many persons with implements OF
war and with intentions of>a hostile ma
ture, while not coming directly under
that provision Of the laws above refer
red to. would meet with the disapproval
OF tho authorities and subject those
therein to interference by the proper
officers OF tho government. The whole
mutter is treated lightly Mt the depart
ment, however, and the reports are re-
gardcd as highly exaggerated.

tho mandate OF arrest. Tho mandate
did not identify tho attached list OF
members rs tho ones to bO appre-
hondcd. rnis was irregular, in Mr.,
Reeds Judgment, and failed to observe
those Jealous safeguards against arrest
which tho law recognized.
At this point Mr.. Blnnd unexpectedly
withdrew his amendment and moved to
suspend all further proceedings undor
tho call OF tho house under which tho
arrests wero made. Tho purpose Of this
move was TO drop tho much confused
question instead OF attempting to
straightcn it out.
Mr.. Reod made tho point Of order
that Mr.. Bland could not dispense with
n call partly executed nud on which
members wOrc now under arrest.
Mr. Springer insisted that vacatinr
tho order OF the house Of February 10
would release tho mombors under
arrest
Mr.. Reed said that every respectable
man must bo 80 sick and tired OF this
thing that oven the solution offered by
MIR. Bland might bo blessing. This
closed tho opposition. Tho acting
speaker ovcrruled the point OF order
and thon put the question on the Blind
resolution for vacating tho call of Feb
ruary 10 and releasing tho members
under arrest. This was carried bv n
loud viva vocc vote with very few dis
sCnting votes.
Thus the tangle was suddenly ter
minated and tho arrested members of
Congress were again free. Shortly after
tho house adjourned, Mr.. Bland still
being unable to get quorum TO close
the debate on tho seirniorngc bill. At
the night session only pension bills
were considered.

Against Ernstus WIman.
PASADENA, CAL, Feb. 23.-R. G. Dun,
president OF the Mercantile Agency AS
sociation, ia quartorod at Rose Cottage,
Raymond hotel, with his wiio. When
questioned to-day by au Associated
Pres. reporter with regard to the arrest
OF Erastus Winan, he stated that the
Associated Press report sent out
from New York was SO entirely
correct that it left him nothing to say;
that he did not deem it necessary to
enter into further particulars. The re-
port referred to was verified in every
particular. Wiman's populations were
known, Mr.. Dun said, before his
connection with the mercantile agency
were severed and were the cause OF guch
action on tho part OF tho agency oIli-
cials. When questioned as TO why
action in this case had been 20 long de-
layed, Mr.. Dun said it was largely OIL
account OF Wiman's wife aud relatives.
when tho case comes TO trial, all
our charges will be fully snbstan.iated."

CHAIRMAN GARTER

Says the National Republican Committee
VIII Adopt the New Basis of Representa-
ton.
CHICAGO, LIS, Feb. 23.-Thomas II.
Carter, chairman OF tho Republican
national committee. was in the city to-
day on his way homo to Montana. In
an interview this evening, Mr.. Carter
said: at is probable that tho national
committee at its regular meeting will
adopt tho recommendation oI the
executive branch on tho change Of
representation in the national convcn-
tion. Tho change recognizes tho
right of the communities that give
the bulk OF tho vote to the
party to dominate tho choice
OF tho convention. Instead OF two
delegates from each congressional
district, We propose to place it at one
with an additional delegate for each
1000 votes cas-; in the district for the
last presidential candidate OF the party.
In the past the action OF the convention
has been controlled BY the delegates
from the states in which thoro was no
possible chance OF securing the cloc,o.
raj vote for tho nominee. The change
will minimize the influence OF the dole
cations that are always given in consid-
Grafton for some bargain. There will be
some opposition from tho members OF
the committee from the southern states,
but as the new basis is founded upon
right and justness, l have no doubt oil
its adoption"

Leaky Cipher Codes.

There visited New York recently
an emissary from the State Depart
ment whose mission was the investi-
CATION of what is automatically
termed leak The dispatches re-
ceived by the government are, as is
we'll known, sent in cipher. This
cipher is guarded with a secrecy
meant TO be awful, but it was sus,
pected that some unauthorized per
son had obtained clew to it. This
suspicion was sufficient to start a
rigid investigation, and the trail led
&c Nav York All facts bearing on
these matters are carefully hidden,
and the upshot of the New York
visitors trip was that there did exist a
suspicion, but no certainty. When
he got back to Washington there
was a change in one of the codes.
So quietly was the business managed
that not soul in the State Depart
ment, with three exceptions, knew
what was afoot.
This incident illustrates how wary
the department is with the codes.
One OF them is styled the sphinx"
it is so guarded. TheIslightest reason
to believe that a code clerk may be
responsible for leak results in his
suspension. However, our govern
ment has been far more successful
then some foreign ones in protecting
its ciphers. The sphinx" was de-
vised by a New Yorker now in the
State Department, and is as suscep
t1ble to changes as combination
lock of a safe. Hundreds of mess
ages have been sent In it, and it has
never leaked. The Hawaiian CORES
pondence with Willis is carried on
entirely in this cipher, and it is
never employed except upon urgent
occasions, while those intrusted with
the mysteries of it must be absolutely
above suspicion; yet even should
there be leak, the alteration Of a
key letter would destroy every clew
to an outsider The Brazilian CORES
pondence is not written in this
mysterious code Indeed, it is
doubtful if the administration would
consent to it's use on an extensive
scale, as the most expert in its
mysteries must spend an hour or
more in the deciphering of a single
Observation-Disclosures Post.
