REPRESENTATIVE DALZELL
He Thinks Congress will Declare Wig
orously in Favor Of the Monroe Doctrine.
May BE Some Tariff Legislation tt
Make More Revenue, but ON
Republican Lines.

Representative Dalzell.' who has been
spending some time at Hot Springs, in Nir-
ginia, was in Washington today on his way
to Pittsburg. Speaking of the coming
session of Congress, he said to a Star re-
porter that he had no doubt that Congress
would make a very strong and vigorous
declaration in support of the Monroe doc
trine. He said also that he thought there
would be some tariff legislation in order to
secure sufficient revenue.
"Of course" he said. lit will have to be
republican legislation. If there must be a
patriotic sacrifice. Mr.. Cleveland will have
to make it, He will have to accept what u
republican Congress can give him. We cam
not be expected to abandon principle to
aid and crafty him. AS to financial legis-
lation, do not think there will be any be-
yond an authorization of low-interest
bonds, if necessary. to meet the deficiency
in the treasury.
He said he had not seen any one to talk
about the outlook for the presidential NOM
nation, and he had nothing new to say on
the subject. The political outlook, he
thought, was good for the republicans. and
said that the prospects of Pittsburg getting
the republican national convention were
improving.

The Presidents Interest in Com
pleting the Warships.
IT'S BEARING ON OUR FOREIGN POLICY
Work Of Importance by the North
= Atlantic Squadron.
COAST DEFENSE CONSIDERED

A significant fact as bearing on Mr..
Cleveland's attitude toward Mr.. Olney's
vigorous foreign policy is disclosed to-
day. 1t is already known that work on the
naval vessels under construction and on
the ordnance has been hastened. The fact
is now disclosed that this fastening of the
work was by the direct personal order of
the President himself 1t is an unusual
thing for the President to interfere in mat
ters Of this sort, they being left entirely to
the Secretary. The anxiety displayed by
him In this instance to have the Maine and
other vessels completed and fitted for ac-
tual service as soon as possible and his
going to the extent of personally directing
that the work be pressed. is therefore
quite significant.
Work of the War College.
Interest is added by the fact that, by o.
der Of the Secretary of the Navy. the sea-
sons work of the Naval War College was
directed to the study of a plan of defense
OF the New England coast from Nantucket
northward against a naval force such as
Great Britain could send against US: and
to a study of naval movements BY which
| the North Atlantic squadron could best op-
pose a large naval force in the Gulf OF
Mexico and the Caribbean sea- The squad
| ron. as has before been stated in The Star.
Will go through practlce Qriil IN the Gult
| of Mexico and the Caribbean sea this wiz
ter. A study of the method of defense OF
Gardeners bay and the New York hArbcr
| was begun with the squadron in the spring,
but was not completed.
Mode of Defense Worked Out.
The work On the New England coast was
| completed, and the answer as TO the best
mode Of defense was worked out and will
| be kept secret. The problems worked out
| at the college are disclosed in the report of
| the bureau. The significant fact is however.
| that work was by special order. and that the
President gave the order Fastening work On
| the vessels being constructed.

FREELY BETTING ON LOWNDES.
Baltimore Democrats Not Inclined to
Accent Wngera.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Md. November 1.-The po-
litical situation today looks more than ever
in favor of Lowndes, and the popular i'm
preston is that he will be elected governor
by a large majority. The frequenters Of
the democratic state headquarters looked
very blue this moi nlng, and while it is evil
dent that they have little hope of saving
the head of the ticket, they still assert that
they expect to see Mr.. Hurst elected next
Tuesday.
1t is now generally believed that the reg
ular democratic organization has given up
all idea of electing Mr.. Hurst, ard that its
efforts will be concentrated on saving the
city ticket 1t is hinted that tha same
action will be taken in the counties, ard
that Hurst will be traded for the local and
legislative tickets.
The democratic parade which will be held
tonight will undoubtedly be the largest af-
fair of its kind ever held in Baltimore. 1t
is generally believed that the dEte chosen
is too late, and that whatever moral effect
the demonstration may produce will rot be
as effective as il it had been held two
weeks ago. 1t is too late to arouse enthusi-
asm for Hurst now. No one is betting on
Hurst, and those who have money up on
the democratic nominee are trying to hedge,
hut are apparently unable to do SO. Money
is freely offered that Lowndes will be elect
ed. hut there are no takers of such bets.

BUNCO WITH A BANK BOOK
A Widower Nearly Falls Victim to q
Shrewd Confidence Game
Allan Oliver is Said to Have Been the
Subject of 2 Friendly Joke, but
the Judge Doesn't Believe 1t.

One of the shrewdest confidence games
heard of in police circles in many years
came out in the testimony in case of false
pretenses, tried in the Police Court today.
The defendants in the case were two intel
l;gent colored men, named James Phillips
and Percy Blagby, who live in South Wash
ington, while the prosecuting witness, Allan
Oliver. also a South Washington colored
man, was shrewd enough to break up their
little game just at the close of the last chap
ter of the alleged fraud.
1t appears that Mrs. Elizabeth Oliver, the
wife of the prosecuting witness, died some
days ago. and it was supposed that she left
considerable money in a local bank. The
widower was unable to locate the bank ac-
count, If his wife had really left one, but the
two young men, it is charged, claimed that
they could locate the fund If they were paid
SO.
Oliver, it is said, made promise to settle
with them when they told him they belonged
to detective agency, and he paid them - on
account. Then it is alleged that one of them
went to the National Savings and Trust
Company and wanted to open book in the
name of the dead woman, but, as she was
not present to sign, the account was opened
in the name of the man, and a deposit of
twenty-five cents was made.
The name was changed and deposits ad-
ded until 1t was made to appear that the
account belonged to the dead woman, and
she had $3.50 on deposit. When the book
in this condition was furnished, the
widower paid over the SIS. and then went
to the bank to inquire about the account.
Later, 1t is alleged, the young men, un-
derstanding the necessity of getting rid of
the book, returned to Oliver and told him
they would have to have it for the pur-
pose of recording 1t at headquarters. Had
Oliver not been to the bank he would prob
ably have parted with the book, but know
ing there was something wrong, he de-
tanned the young men while his clerk went
for Sergt. Daley.
About the time the officer reached the
store one of the young men was in the act
of returning to Oliver the SIS and the Off
Ger took the money and men.
Both young men claimed that they had
only attempted to play trick on a friend,
but as Judge ISinlbali could not see just
where the trick came In he held them in
$1,000 security for the action of the grand
Jury.

MIR. CLEVELAND AS ARBITRATOR.

The Case of Cerruti, Involving the
Colombian and Italian Governments.
The Italian-Colombian arbitration is now
fairly before President Cleveland. who is
the arbitrator chosen by both countries.
Some weeks ago Baron Fava presented the
Italian side of the case. and yesterday.
being the last day allowed by the treaty
for the initial presentation OF the cases.
Mr.. Calderon Carlisle, representing the Co.
lomb:an government, submitted the case
CT that government. The claimant-Cer-
1ut;-having demanded the right to person.
ally present his case. the Colombian gov
ernnent will be afforded an opportunity to
meet certain issues and then it will remain
for the President to pass upon the merits
of the controversy
The case arises from an incident in
revolution in Colombia in 1885. when Ger
ruti. an Italian subject, was. as he alleges,
unlawfully arrested. and his valuable real
estate and trade property sequestered by
Colombian officials. His government es-
poused his claim, and after a long diplo-
matte controversy between Ttcly and Co.
lombia which threatened to ripen into hos
tilities. an arbitration treaty was arranged
and President Cleveland consented to serve
as arbitrator.
