PORTLAND. Me-, March THE Mys-
teriors disappearance case, AS published
In Boston papers yesterday. created quite
furry of excitement in this city for a
time. Alfred l.. oxnard, the man pur-
ported to have been foully dealt with. is
well known here, where he was engaged
In business for years. He figured more
prominently in the courts while here than
he did In church, and was constantly at
war with his brother, John Thomas Ok
nard of Freeport, to whom the father left
oil of his property when he died.
Among other suits brought was the case
for the recovery Of insurance paid John
7. Oxnard many years ago, which suit
was instituted by Alfred l.. Oxnard.
Then came the suit for defamation of
character and another to put old Mr..
Oxnard under guardianship as being in
capable of doing business. All OF these
cases were brought by Alfred Oxnard
against his brother and were all thrown
oufof court.
Oxnard, the missing man. knew he had
no case, and Seth L. Larrabee. his coun-
sci In the case. knew this fact, too, and
according to Hon. NJ. p. Frank, the coup-
sci for j. T. Oxnsrd, Larrabee settled the
case In payment of one-half his fee.
Therefore the intimation of Boston papers
rs to Oxnard having been foully dealt with
by his brother on account of the will is
out of the question.
jeremiah Rodgers of "A Adams street is
. brother of oxnard's wife. He thinks
Oxnard 10 within days journey Of the
city with woman who has caused much
trouble In his family. ~,
A clew has been found which may lead
to the discovery Of Oxnard's Whereabouts.
II ia reported that he was seen in this city
not more than two weeks ago. Startling
developments are expected soon.

Senator Berry and Others Object to he

WASHINGTON, March IA somewhat
amusing episode enlivened the senate
proceedings inaugurated by Senator
Berry's personal explanation. A news
paper had included him in o group Of
portraits of nine Democratic senators,
whom it charged with being "obstruc-
,tionists" to the tariff bill Mr.. Berry de-
MED that he had ever been anything but
an earnest advocate of the bill, and on all
occasions had urged its speedy report TO
the senate without modification. His ex-
PLANTATION was followed by explanations
from Senators Faulkner, Call, McLaurin
and Morgan. which led TO much amuse-
ment in the senate chamber.
The main interest OF the day centered
about the discussion as to the disposal Of
the Bland bill. Mr.. Stewart gave notice
that he would move to take it sp this
afternoon and make IL the business before
the senate until disposed OF. Mr.. Teller
also spoke on the same subject.
The debate on the pension appropria-
tion bill was continued in the house, the
feature Of the day being General Sickles'
speech criticising the action of Commits
sioner Lochren. Agreement was reached
whereby the debate on the bill will close
at 30 clock this afternoon. Before the de-
bate began the resolution for the investi-
cation of Judge Jenkins writ of injunc-
tion against the Northern Pacific railroad
was taken up and passed.

SENATORS KEPT MUM.
Wouldn't Give Out Finance
Committees Conclusions.
REPUBLICAN SENATORIAL PLAN.
II Was Agreed at Conference OF Re-
publicans TO Secure Consideration
of the Bland Bin Ahead Of the
Tariff Measure.


WASHINGTON, March Z. - The Demo-
cratic members OF the senate finance COM
mittee adjourned few minutes after 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon. They had
been holding occasional sessions during
the day, going back and forth between
the senate chamber and the committee
ssom, and appearing at no time to be
very busy. s
All the appearances indicated when
they adjourned that they had concluded
taeir labors, but they refused to say that
they had, and were very evasivs in their
replies to questions. Senator Voorhees,
said that he had called no meeting of the
full committee, but none OF the members
would say positively in reply to questions
by representatives of the press that no
meeting would be held or that the bill
would not be reported at once.
The Rspubiicans' schemx.
It develops that the concerted action OF
the Republican senators in their effort to
take up the Bland seiGniorage bill at this
time, with the purpose of displacing the
tariff bill, Is the result of a conference
held by the advisory committee of the
Republican senatorial caucus.
Neither the free coinage Republicans
nor the anti-silver senators care much
for the Bland seigniorage bill as such. or
course the anti-silver Republicans would
oppose the bill, and If they support it
now, or appear to do so, their only motive
II TO stand of the tariff bill. The silver
men do not consider that the passage Of
the bill would haHs- any influence what
ever in behalf OF silver, except to get this
bullion out of the treasury. They will
support 1t with this purpose in view, and
with the hope OF getting a free coinage
amendment appended TO the BILL which
they may do by getting Democratic votes
for the amendment
The siiverites' Stand.
The silver Republicans are more or less
divided as TO the course TO pursue with
reference to the tariff. Several of them
have said that while they would vote
against the tariff bill, they would do
aething to delay its consideration.
The majority Of them, however. would
exert themselves to the utmost in the in
terests of silver, and, IL it becomes ap-
parent that they can accomplish anything
for silver, Of course would enter earnestly
into the fight.
The Democratic members of the finance
committee are evidently puzzled and
annoyed at the announced determination
OF the Republicans to take up the bill.
If Senator Stewards motion prevails it
will delay the tariff bill indefinitely.
They have not yet agreed on policy
with referenee Ito this movement, but .
there is good reason tn believe that
Senator Eauikper's objection to the
motion yesterday was Inspired by the
Democratic members Of the committee.
BIS objection followed very closely on
conference which he held with them on
this subject.

Dunlavey to accompany them. The po-
lice committee demanded an explanation
Of Sergeant Dunlsvey, who refused to
recognize their authority. The committee
assumed charge of the police and or
dered Sergeant Dunlavey to report to
them.
City hall was I'm q perfect uproar for q
short time, and later the straight Demo-
cratic members went into session, passed

STEVENSON IN sEoLUs1oN.
The Democratic Defeat Brought on by
the Dull Times.

Bloomington. H., Nov. Hon. Adlai
E. Stevenson, Vice President, spent to-
day quietly in the seclusion of the home
of his brother John, meditating upon the
political events Of yesterday and prepar-
ing to attend the wedding of a nephew,
which takes place tonight. 1t was a
dreary day, with leaden skies and cold
drizzling rain. Mr.. Stevenson, when asked
to state his opinion as to the causes lead
ing up to the democratic defeat of yester-
day, said MY opinion can be briefly
stated. The result is due in part to the
financial depression which came upon the
country OTTER the Inauguration of Mr.
Cleveland. While the democrats we're in
no way responsible for this they were
made the scapegoats. 1t was also in
part due to the delay of congress in pass
ing the tariff bill. Had the bill become
a law ninety days earlier than IL did it is
quite probable that the business condi-
tions Of the country would have so ad-
justed themselves that the political re-
suit would have been different"
Mr. Stevenson will depart from Bloom
ington this week for Asheville, n. c.,
where he will join his family, who are So
journing there. He will remain in the
south three weeks, going thence to Wash
ingtOn.

view of the situation. He said: 1.-The ad-
ministration does not consider this vote a
rebuke to its tariff policy, nor to its gen
eral course. The peoples decision is due
rather TO their disgust with the demo-
cratic congress for its failure to take ad-
vantage of its opportunities. Had it been
prompt in passing the Sherman repeal bill
and a tariff reform law different verdict
would have been forthcoming. The sal
walton of the party now for 1886 is for il to
take sound stand on the silver question
and to abjure everything suggestive of
populism, or any other issue"
What stand would you recommend
taking on the slver?"
TO oppose any more silver legislation,
to stay where We are, and to stick to a
gold standard unless some sound plan
thus far uniformed and untaught of by
financiers can be evolved for improve
ment."
Probably owing to the fact that they
sat up late last night awaiting election
returns, the cabinet officers We're late
in reaching their desks to-day. The Presi-
dent did not come into the city at all,
but remained quietly at Woodley, pre-
sumably at work upon his annual mes
sage to congress. a number of pardon
cases passed upon by him came to the
white house in evidence of attention to
public business during the evening hours.
AS a general rule, nobody occupying a
prominent place in the administration
cared to talk for publication to-day re-
specting the election yesterday, but they
did show some interest in learning the
latest returns from districts and states
left in some doubt when the morning
newspape went to press.
