ARsuckLE's MOVEMENTS.
Detectives Learn OF His wanderings Just
Before the Murder.

New York. Nov. 23.-Further light
upon the movements of Frank p. Ar
buckle OF Denver In the hours imme-
diately preceding the time when he was
found dying in a lonely spot in the
northern part OF this city Thursday
morning has been found by the detec-
tives. The latter say that Mr.. Arbuckle
went to the Charles hotel, Sixth ave-
nue. and Forty-fourth street, near Sixth
avenue. He arrived at the st. Charles
at l2:45 a. IN. and introduced himself
to the bartender, Frank Kinworthy.
He was accompanied by cabman and
two men whom he had picked up on
the sidewalk, and the party had
drink together. Arbuckle at that time
had his money, watch and jewelry. He
was very much under the influence of
liquor. and Kinworthy told the detec-
tives that he (Kinworthy) suggested
that he leave his money and valuables
in the hotel safe and take a room for
the night. as he was not in condition
to take care of himself.
"Oh. / am all right. Arbuckle is
said to have replied. lie then left the
hotel alone and W, q down Sixth av-
waited railway Tain for Harlem.
The detectives claim to know that
when he boarded the train he was pos
sessed of his money and valuables.
This was at 1:l0 a. m. II is added that
Arbuckle reached the terminus of the
elevated road at One Hundred and Fiji
ty-fifth street at 1:40, He came from
the station to the street. He was seen
to walk south on Eighth avenue and
then had his watch and diamonds in
his possession. Detective O'Brien OF

ILLEGAL ASSESSMENTS
Complaints Made to Civil Service
Commission.
LOOKING ABOUT FOR A TEST CASE.

Variety of Intricate Questions Presented as
to the Jurisdiction of the Law Effort To
lie Made to Have Them JudlciaiIy Con-
strued - Political Complexion OF the
Next National House of Representatives
Other Capital City News.
Washington, Nov. 2s.-The civil serv-
ice commission will soon select a test
case for prosecution in the courts to
determine the extent to which the civil
service law is applicable in political as
sessment cases. There are many COM
plants OF Illegal assessments during
and preceding the recent campaign and
various cases have been sent to the at
torney general for such action as may
be deemed expedient. Investigation
showed that, as usual, some of the al
legations of violations of the law could
not be substantiated. The commits
sioners are now casting about for
good case for test and they will in
few days select one which they re-
gard as likely to bring out in a judi
cial decision the best results to civil
service reform.
Intricate Questions Presented.
The cases present a variety of intri-
cate questions as ~ the jurisdiction of
the law, and an effort will be made to
have them judicially construed. The
main issue as to whether solicitation of
funds for political purposes by letter
as contradistinguished from solicitation
in person is a violation Of the law.
There are other perplexing questions
such as the Interpretation OF actual
Jurisdiction of a federal building and
where only parts of buildings are used
for federal purposes. Notwithstanding
the number of cases where solicitations
Of funds have been made by letter to
empolyes in federal buildings. the com
missioners say the question has never
been tested in court. and consequently
there has been no decision on that
mooted point 1t is a. serted by many
persons that the law does not apply in
these cases and there can be no intim-
idation in such letters. or action pro-
hibited by law
Serious Consequences Involved.
The commission realizes the possibili-
ty of serious consequences involved in
decision adverse to its contention that
| the letters are barred by law in view OF
the opportunity lhlS Wouiu Olei iVi
| obtaining funds for political purposes.
It's position is that failure to push the
matter is merely putting off the is
| sue and that positive and conclusive
| Interpretation of the law as 1t stands
| is necessary. BY determining the APP
| plicability of the law on various points
| of oontention, the case inv,Fgi@s most
| of which will be selected, the commits
| sion feels its work will be strength
ened. The weak points as found may
| then be remedied by legislation which
will be urged. Though the prosecu-
| ton of the other cases will be in the
| usual procedure of the department of
| justice the test case will be expedited
| and the commission will be allowed to
select any special counsel IT desires to
| represent ii.

The bidding for this relic was of the
liveliest description. and 1t was finally
sold for G770 ($3,S50). said to be the
highest price ever paid for a coin. Sew

NEXT HOUSE OF CONGRESS.
1t VIII stand eos Republicans, 13' Demo-
crats and Is Popuiists.

Washington, Nov. 23.-The exact
standing of the next house of repre-
sentatives is now known. since the fig
ures from South Dakota have been re-
ported. The house will contain, unless
some changes occur through death or
designations. 205 Republicans, 137 DEM
ocrats, and fifteen Populists. The esti-
mates that are made here as to the sill
yer strength gives 1876 OF the Demo-
Gratis five Republicans, and all OF the
Populists to the support of silver. maxi
ing the total for the white metal 155,
to POP who will not support II. The
number of the states sending solid del
egations for a single party is unusually
large, being twenty-seven in all, though
five of these are states which are Re-
pulican by but one member. The Re-
publicans send solid delegations from
twelve states, the Democrats have solid
delegations from twelve states and the
Populsts three states, though two or
the latter are states with but one men,
ber each.
The Populists send both the MEM
bers from Colorado and the single
member from each OF the states OF Me-
yada and Montana. 1t is interesting to
observe that seven of the routhern
states send divided delegations instead
Of the time-honored solidly Democratic
list, while two of them. Maryland and
West Virginia. send solid Republican
delegations. This is thing hitherto
unheard of as to Maryland and has
seldom happened in the case of West
Virginia. The Republicans gain twen-
ty-six members from the south, three
from North Carolina, two from Vir-
ginia, four from West Virginia. two
from Tennessee one from Texas, four
from Missouri, three from Maryland.
and four from Kentucky. The Popu-
lists receive five of their fifteen MEM
bers from the south and all OF the re-
mainder from west of the Mississippi
river. The south Is no longer solid, as
the Democrats have but ninety-six OF
the 127 members from that section. OF
and Kentucky and east Of the Missis-
the 200 members north of Virginia

London, Nov. 23.-The government,

break of protection fever among its
own followers. That the rank and the

Great efforts will be made to induce
