Sackviile-WeSt Scored.

Washington, October 13.-Dof
NJ. Dickinson is in Washington
with a committee to look after
the interests Of Michigan in Sc
curing more rapid mail service
Mr.. Dickinson's name has been
spoken OF recently as the one
referred to by Sir Lionel Sack
vile West in his pamphlet as the
member of Mr.. Cleveland's Cab
met responsible for the Minis
ter's summary dismissal. Mr.
Dickson was asked to day as K
the facts of the case. He said:
LAS the incident occurred when
[ was a member of the Cabinet ]
do not feel at liberty to discuss
it. But as to Sir Lionel Sackvi1le-
West, [ have no hesitation in
saying that he is now aud always
has been an Internal ass"
Mr.. Dickinson was asked for
his views on Venezuela and Cuba.
He said the developments of no
distant day would speak more
eloqueutly than words. He re
ferred to the fact that Daniel
Webster had recognized the in
dependence of Greece many years
before that country had actually
secured complete independence.
and in those days even Webster
had been accused of ''Jingoism."
Ex-Congressman Waldock, who
is in the party, said it was a rec
ognized principle of international
law that a struggling people
should be recognized as bellig-
erents as soou as they showed
their ability to resist the estab>
lished government. The Cubans
were entitled to it now, and the
question of their recognition as
nation would come afterward.

seems to believe that the Repub.
lican Senators forget that he was
Sergeant-at-Arms of the last
Democratic National Convention,
and that he was elected to his
present position because he was
a Democrat.
but, conceding that with fish
ing trips and patronage some Re-
publican Senators might be Sc
duced from their party princi-
pies and party duty, you must
know that a majority of the Re
publican Senators will remain
true 10 their colors, as they have
always done, and the others must
stand by the caucus decision.
Moreover, you know that the
majority Of the Democrats in the
State are gentlemen and always
true to their caucus decisions.
And you know that a majority of
the Democratic caucus will indig-
nantly refuse to even consider
the proposition to smirch the
reputation of Gen. Cox by turn
ing him out like a dog, without
cause and without excuse. So
that, judging from experience in
Senatorial affairs, I am convinced
that the plan outlined will ign
minously fail.

Scotland Neck Democrat: DIR,
Il. M. johnson returned a few
days ago from a trip to Atlanta.
He says he met a man on the cars
from about Monroe, N. c., whose
name he did not learn, but who
gave him some Information that
he had never learned before. DIR.
johnson says that the man stated
to him that in some parts of
North Carolina there was no rain
from September 1855, to July
1856; that people planted crops
in the spring Of 1856 and made a
fairly good harvest. Who knows
anything more about it? Was
there really a drought of that
length in those years?
Winston Sentinel: W. H.
Briaegar, who has been indicted

running an illicit distillery, was
arrested on last Monday morn
ing at his home a few miles be-

shall W. K. Clement and A. M.
Nail. The Times says he was
given a hearing before United
States Commissioners M. r
Chafin on Monday afternoon and
bound over to the Federal Court
in a bond of $500, which he gave.
He was then arrested by the
sheriff upon nine indictmentsein
the Superior court and was re-
qnired to give a bond of 1926 for
his appearance at the next term
of the Superior Court, which he
also gave.

THE HAVERHILL STRIKERS.
Case of Killing the Goose That Laid the
Golden Egg.

Haverhill. Mass. January s.-There is ab-
solutely nothing doing in labor matters
today. 1t is said that if the manufacturers
would make very little effort towards an
adjustment, the strike would be settled at
once. The workhen have become better
acq TAINTED with condition of affairs than
before, and the fact at the manufacturers
are paying SO much more for leather than
was expected when they booked orders is
going a great way toward inducing the
workmen to be willing to 60 to work again
at the old prices, providing some way can
be opened by which they can do SO hon "
ably and not break their word with the
union.

Pittsburg, Pa, January s.-The floods

about 10 a. m. today, and soon after the
water began to recede. Locally, the loss
is comparatively light. Prominent river
men estimate the general loss on both
rivers at about s5OO.Ooo. This includes
wrecked coal barges, flooded mills and
mines, and the cost of protecting exposed
river property. In Allegheny City this

WASHINGTON NEWS.
Senator Palmer's Ardent Defence Of
CleVeland's Course.
ADMITS HE DOESN'T UNDERSTA ND
WHAT THE PRESIDENTlMEANT,

But Is Sure 1T Was for the Best-He Also
nence of the Senate in Its Inquiry Re
garding the Hawaiian Matter-A Devo
ton to the Administration That is Re-
freshing.
Washington, January SIN the Senate
the Lodge resolution was taken up, and
Mr.. Palmer of Illinois said on the ques.
tion of the overthrow of the native gov
ernment in the Hawaiian Islands there
was no reason to doubt it was subverted
by collusion with the then American
minister The thing to which he de-
sired to call particular attention was
that the so-called Republican govern
ment in the Hawaiian Islands was based
on the total disregard of the rights of
the native inhabitants. Those natives
hold only two per cent of the lands of
the islands. They had been driven to
the inferior lands and the fertile and
productive lands were monopolized by
possession of the government, controlled
it now and had the "infnite impudence
to characterize it as republic" If
essential to Repu bilcanism then that
government was an aristocracy, based
on wealth. Mr.. Palmer declared emphat-
ically that nothing could be more un-
fortunate to the United States than the
annexation of these islands.
Mr.. Teller of Colorado quoted from
President Cleveland's reply to the roy
alist commission these words: Having
failed in my plans, l committed the en-
tire subject to the Congress of the Unit
ed States" Mr.. Palmer admitted that
he did not know clearly what the Presi-
dent meant, but declared the President
had discharged his duty and was main
tanning the most rigorous policy of nom
Intervention with the affairs of those
islands.
Mr.. Lodge remarked that it was the
business Of the Senate to inquire into
anything which affected the interests
OF the United States.
at is the business of the Senate,n Mr..
Palmer replied, "to confine itself to it's
ownaconstitutional duties. 1t, is the
business of the Senate to believe all the
wisdom and patriotism is not found
within these walls; but the President
is as conscious of his duties and as cap
able of discharging them as the aggre-
gate mem bership of the Senate. Organ
izsd curiosity is often simply organized
impertinence."
After considerable further colloquy
among the Senators, Mr.. AIdrich sent to
the clerks desk recent newspaper in
terview with the President. Before the
clerk finished reading it the morning
hour expired, and the resolution again
went to the calendar. Mr.. A ldrich asked
the unanimous consent to have the re-
solution left pending in the morning
hour.
Objection was made by Mr.. German,
and the Senate then proceeded to the
delivery of eulogies on the late Senator
Colquitt. Eulogies were pronounced by
Senators Gordon of Georgia, Turpie Of
Indiana, Hill of New York, Pasco of
Florida, Mills of Texas, and Walsh of
Georgia. Resolutions were adopted,
and as a further mark of respect to Mr..
Colquitt's memory, the Senate, at p.
m.. adjourned till tomorrow.

A PENALTY OF THE ICE BUSINESS
Richmond Is Over Run With Tramps
and WOrkmen.
As the Latter Are without Means. and at
Present There is Nothing for Them to
Do Their Support is a Rather Serious
Matter.
fsnecial to the PREss.l

Especial to the PhESSJ
Richmond, Me-, January S.-Orders
were received. Monday to suspend work
at Clark & Chaplin's and the Peanut"
and three other ice houses. A number
of workmen were thus turned adrift.
AS consequence So men were lodged
in the Richmond lookup Monday night,
breaking the record and packing it to
it's utmost limit, and number were
turned away. This lookup has been
haven of refuge for tramps for some
time, and when theQiee harvesting sea-
on is about to begin has anywhere from
Is to 80 dodgers nearly every night.
Their frequent calls for food at the
houses in the village and along the
main roads have come to be nuisance.
Most of tbs class may be considered pro-
fessionals, and take this way to get
their living. Were they really deserving
it would be different thing but the
experiences of those who know them
best. and the not infrequent episodes
similar to that recently related in the
PRESS, of the benevolent young lady's
six doughnuts being used fol yard dec
oration, leads one to look upon this
class as not desirable addition to
our population:
MANY men have been here seeking
work on the ice, unsuccessfully. The
work of running the ice into the houses
has not yet begun, and fewer men can
be employed than will be the case later.
Some Of the companies are employing
more men than they can work to advan
taee. for the sake of holding them until
the actual work of cutting begins.
At present there are more men than
there is work, and should more of the
companies suspend work there will be
still larger surplus of men.

Considering the Pooling Bill.

Washington, January 5.-The Senate COM
Littee on interstate commerce, today. con-
sidered the railroad pooling bill. A letter
was received from-C Con missioner Morrison
of the interstate commerce commission, in
which he called attention to certain defects
in the, measure. When this bill was dis
cussed in the House statement was made
that:it provided that railroads could fix
their own rates, but these rates will not
become operative until submitted to the
commission. The same discussion led to
the conclusion that the commission was
given ample safeguards, and the complete
supervision of the matt er.

THE SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE
A Proposition to Repeal the Discriminating
Duty on Sugar.

Washington, January S.-Today's meeting
of the Senate finance committee was char
acterized principally by an informal dis
cussion Of the currency and financial ques-
tions. The Republicans conveyed the idea
that they would stand aloof and permit the
party charged with the responsibility to
bring III sucn measure as it thought would
meet the conditions. During the discussion
proposition to repeal the discriminating
duty o! a tenth of a cent pound on sugars
imported from countries which pay export
bounty, was brought up.
Mr.. Voorhees, will not call ;another meet
ing of the committee until the currency
bill comes from the House, and is referred
to his committee.

FIVE PER CENT SAFETY FUNDS

Not Enough, and the Government Will
Have to Pay for Mistakes and Blunders.
Washington. January s.-The House
went into committee of the whole on
the currency bill, and Mr.. johnson of
Ohio spoke in opposition. The issuing
of money, Mr.. johnson said, was such a
monopoly it was necessary for the gov
ernmenu to take control of it. All
schemes suggested which look to the
giving to banks the monopoly of issuing
paper money includes government
guaranty, because their projectors know
without that the people will not take
the notes. 1t was proposed to allow
banks without limit and confer on them
a right which could only be conferred
upon monopoly. They absolutely sac
rificed the interests of the depositors.
Five per cent of safety funds was not
safe, and the government in the end
would have to, pay for mistakes and
blunders'
Mr.. Bland. Democrat, of Missouri, then
spoke with great earnestness against the
repeal OF the purchasing clause of the
Sherman act.
At S O'Clock the House took a recess.
At the evening session, no business of
Importance was transacted.
