Mr.. Lacey stated that the House was

BALTIMORE. Feb. 29 1S96.-Rumors of
receiverShip for the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad Company are more pronounced
today than heratofore. and it would
not surprise the best informed f1nanciers

made before the day closes. A United

Baltimore and Ohio director and
Chairman of the Finance Committee,
what truth there was in the reported
application for a receivership.
He said:-'I cannot talk on the sub

Will you deny that receiver is a
possibility of the near f,Iture?"
No, will say nothing about it, the
Major replied as he hurried away

WHY HERB POTTS EXPLAINS.
He Took an Apti-RepublicanB Bill 10

Every one knows that Police Justice
Herbert Potts is one of the most obliging
men in the State, and always ready to do
a favor for any one who asks him 1t
will not be surprising if hereafter he is
not SO obliging because of a little episode
which occurred last Monday. Mr.. Potts
was passing through the Pennsylvania
station when he met P. H. O'Neill, who
asked him if he would carry a letter to
AssembiymaE Cagney.
Certainly replied the obliging Her.
bert. as he put the letter in his pocket.
That night Mr.. Cagrey introduced a
bill repeating the act creating the City
Hall Commissioners and placing the con-
troll Of the Grove street monstrosity in
the hands of the Board of Aldermen.
Emil Datz happened to be IN the Cham
ber at tine time, and he ran over to Mr.
Cagney and asked him what he wanted
to introduce that kind of bill for.
Il don't know anything about it,, said
Mr. Cagney. Herb Potts gave me the
Mr.. Datz hurriedly looked up Mr. Potts
and asked him what object he had in ilay-
ing such bill introduced and he cx-
planned how he got it from Mr.. O'Neill
The fact that Mr.. Cagney received the
bill from Mr.. Potts Travelled much flIr-
'ther than the Judges explanation, and
ever since Monday he has to tell some in
dignant Republican about every other
minute how he came to be connected with

TO GIVE Or NOT TO GIVE.
Bailington Booth Said 10 BE Pre-.
parfn. a Real Estate Statement.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20, 1Ss6-There was
an air of suspense around Salvation
Army Headquarters on West Fourteenth
this morning. 1t was said that Ballirlg-
ton Booth was preparing a statement at
Montclair, N. j.. of the determination
to which he had come about the real es-
tate held by him for the Salvation Army.
There was rumor also that Ballington
Booth was going to pay another visit
to his old headquarters.
Colonel Alexander Nichol, the enyoy
extraordinary sent over here by General
Booth, was seen this morning. He said
there was nothing new in the situation
this morning. Everything is going on
smoothly, said Colonel Nicol, "and we
are settling down to purely department.
al work OF course there was a little ex-
scltement, but that is all gone now"
1When asked as TO whether ne expected
that ex-Commander Ballington Booth
was going to surrender the real estate
held by him for the Salvation Army. Col
onel Nicol replied that he anticipated no
trouble in that direction, and that ex-
Commander Booth would relinquish the
real estate as soon as the necessary fe-
gal transfer were made out.
Win this end in view a delegation of
ceed to Montclair, N. J., probably this
afternoon in order to draw up the papers
Colonel Nfcol when asked if the trans
fer would be made today said he did moi
expect that this business would be trans
acted before Monday next.

LABOR TROUBLES IN BALTIMORE
Garment Manufacturers and Their
Employees still Talk Fight.

BALTIMORE. Feb. 20. 1s9s.-Garment
workers and clothing manufacturers con-
tinue to talk fight. Another similarity
between them is to be found in the fact
that there seems to be no immediate
prospect of getting together. Aside from
talks. proclafhations. etc.. nothing new
developed in the strike situation this
morning. The manufacturers are de-
benair but as vol1ble as the more ag
dressive strike leaders. The best fea-
lures of the strained relations between
the manufacturers and the 5000 strikers
is the almost absolute freedom from dis
orderly outbreaks. The small army of
policemen on duty look bored because
there is nothing to do.
The manufacturers have adopted a
clever scheme to tide over immediate
another help for pressing orders, and as
employed who are not members of the
Garment Makers Union, the manufac-
turers hope to tide over the difficulty for
a while The strikers report daily acces-
sions to their ranks and there appears to
be good grounds for rnelr claims. Prssi-
dent Reichers is very busy circSlating
among the strikers and adressing meet
ings in different parts of the city. Judg-
ing from the respective attitudes of the
interested parties they are as far from
the ring side, or a settlement ground, as
when the fight was announced last Thurs

The Court of Appeals for the Second.
Circuit have certified up two questions
for answer by the Supreme Court of the

part of the dutfable value of the goods
the duty levied by the German govern

appeal being taken, the Board of General

The case went to the Court of Appeals,
which asks the Supreme Court Of the
