in wretchedly displayed announce

Of an afternoon newspaper would
prove the better medium for that

WASHINGTON LETTER.
SENATOR TILLMAN THINKS HE
WILL BE THE DEMOCRATIC
CHOICE.
RaiDes Excise Law Will Strengthen the
New York Republicans Venezuela
Commission Sends For Dutch
Documents.
From Our Regular Correspondent

From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April q, 1885,
Senator Tillman's head is about
ten times as big, in his own mind,
since he returned from his western
trip. He actually believes that
his chance for being nominated
for president by the Chicago con.
vention on free silver platform
is q good one, and he says there Is
no longer the slightest doubt that
the silver democrats will control
that convention. He thinks
that western tour has made
him so solid with the demo-
Gratis Of that section that
he is now planning for a southern
speech-making trip which will take
in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Mississippi and Texas.
When Tillman's aspirations for the
democratic presidential nomina-
ton were first talked about, the
Cleveland democrats regarded it as
good joke, but they don't now.
Just so where the Cleveland dem
ocrats at first disposed to pooh
pooh the idea of the silver DEM
ocrats controlling the Chicago con.
vention. Today most of them ad.
NIT the probability that a major
ity Of the Chicago convention will
be silver men, but say they rely
upon the influences which men
like Senator Brice and ex-secretary
Whitney can bring to bear upon
them after they get to the conven,
ton to prevent the adoption Of a
radical silver platform or the nom.
ination Of silver man.
The senate is now working under
an understanding that nothing
important shall be taken up until
all of the appropriation bills are
disposed Of, and some think thai
adjournment is probable on OIL
about May 16, the date suggested
at recent conference of republican
senators, but everybody recognizes
that there can be nothing certain
about it until a joint resolution
naming the day for adjournment
has been actually adopted by tn
senate. The house is alright an
will promptly agree to any dat
set by the senate, and will wait 70
the senate to take the initiative.
Numerous congressman breathe
easier when the announcement wa
made that the Venezuelan Boui
dary commission had decided

Of having an expert examinstio

make its report to the president In
a short time, and it was feared thai
IL the report was made before con
gress adjourned, IL would result In
an indefinite prolongation Of the
session. But it is now known that
the commission cannot complete
its work until those old Dutch
documents nave been carefully
gone over, and possibly others at
Madrid, which makes it certain
that the report will not be made
before next winter.
The idea that the Raines excise
law, passed by the New York re-
publican legislature, was going to
injure the republican party Of that
state is no longer held even by
democrats, on the contrary, it is
going to strengthen the republi-
cans. Here is the opinion of Judge
c. w. Meade, for some years a po-
lice judge in New York City, who
is now visiting Washington: "At
first it looked as though the Raines
law would be so distasteful to the
public that the republican party
would be made to suffer for its en-
actment. But there has been a
great change Of public sentiment;
the people are beginning to realize
the many good points Of the law,
aud l am satisfied that the repub-
licans will reap the benefit from it
instead of disaster. 1t is about as
good a statue as the ingenuity of
man could contrive lit wipes out the
dives where the poorer classes loaf
and squander their earnings lit puts
the business of selling liquor on
the best possible plan by putting
1t in the hands Of responsible men,
and it does away with the corrup-
ton and blackmail OF the old
regime"
This administration makes a
record for Partially and prejudice
in everything it touches. For the
second time board OF his brother
officers have submitted report to
the war department declaring
Lieut.. Schofleld, to be unfit for pro-
motion, on account of his being
very deaf. surely a good enough
reason. But for the second time,
Secretary Lamont has disapproved
the finding Of the military exam
lining board, and has now directed
that Lieut.. Schofield be re-exsm-
ined for promotion within six
months. The explanation is that
Gen. Schofield is one OF Cleve-
lands chums.
The disgraceful fight with ink
bottles, sponge cups and other
stray bits of government stationery
which Representatives Hall, of
Mo-, and:Money, Of Miss, had in a
house committee room the other
day, indicates the present status Of
the silver and anti-silver demo-
Gratis. Money is a silver democrat,
and Hall was originally elected as
such, but he was converted by
Cleveland at the extra session of
the Fifty-third congress which re-
pealed the purchasing clause ofthe
so-called Sherman silver law. and
is now anti-silver. They are all
ready to fly to each others Threats
and nobody will be surprised II the
Chicago convention should end in
a free fight in which more danger
GUS weapons than ink bottles will
be used.

To the Daily LIGHT:
A system which permits burly,
brutal teacher to beat and bruise
helpless little pupil, no matter
what the cause, is radically wrong
and should be revised. Really, it
looks as if no department Of our
administration can be conducted
without escaping censure. A rigid
investigation should be made into
the alleged beating OF the Pinn boy
by Prof Fitzpatrick, and II the facts
are as stated, prompt dismissal
should be followed by vigorous
prosecution in the courts. OF
course, it is not assumed that Prof.
Fitzpatrick is guilty, until his
statement Is received; but IL he
shall fail to satisfactorily answer
the charges, he should be summsr-
lily punished. A. PARENT.

Police Made Number of Arrests
There Inst Might.

1t is Kelleys block this time. Last
night Patrolman Saul found about 200
people densely packed about the no.
torious building on Scranton street. All
were intently witnessing the encounter
of half dozen people. some black, some
white. A bevy were taken to the sta
ton house with the assistance of Con-
stable Finnegan. At the hearing before
Alderman Blair in the station house a
bad condition Of affairs in the block
was again exposed. Mrs. Lizzie Will
Jams, alias other names, lives with a
colored man named Charles Boughton.
She is married TO a man in England. but
claims that a suit for divorce is pending
in that country. from whence she came
three years ago. She was also married
TO a resident of Taylor. This was few
months ago
Mrs. Mary Jane Woods, alias Mrs.
William Matthews. the other woman in
the case, Is large person. Mrs. Mat
thews quarrelled with Mr.. Matthews.
She removed her household furniture
into Mrs. Boughton's apartments in the
block. Last night she attempted to
take the things back again. This caused
the fight. Several people We're struck
with stove lids and a water pail.
The alderman made the charge one of
keeping and frequenting a disorderly
house The two women and the coored
Mr.. Boughton were held in $500 bail to
appear at court. Ben Cartier and I'D
ward Murdoch, two Laceyviile negroes,
were fined S. each. All failed to furnish
the requisite release money and they

FOR MISS CONNORS.
Jury Found in Fer Favor for $500.
Verdict of S47o.S4 for Gavigan
Against Refining Company.

Miss Bridget Connors. of Taylor, who
sued for $4,000 was awarded verdict
of $500 on Saturday in her suit for
damages against the Scranton Traction
company for injuries she sustained on
April 2, 1894, in car which left the
track at the Robinson street switch on
the West Side and rolled down the bank
to Ninth street. The nature of her in
juries has necessitated medical attend
ance up to the present time. The plain
tiff is 90 years Old and claims that her
condition since the accident has untitled
her to follow her occupation as dress
maker. She was represented by Attor-
neys O'Brien & Kelley. The case was
given to the jury Saturday morning
and the verdict was agreed upon at
noon.
In the trespass suit of James Gavigan
against the Atlantic Refining company
the plaintiff was awarded verdict Of
S47O.S4. The amount of damages claimed
by him was $4,000, which he said he had
suffered by reason of the erection of oil
tanks and storage rooms by the COM
pany near his home on Penn avenue.
His attorneys were /. II. Burns, M. j.
Donahoe and Hon. John p. Kelley.
The third and last week of the COM
mon pleas term begins today. Then
there will be two weeks of criminal
court, followed by week of argument
court, after which judges, juries and
lawyers will enter upon vacation until
September.
