BANQUET OF THE OHIO SOCIETY
Governor Bushnell Says There Should Be
More Preparation and Less
Tnk of Wnr

NEW YORK, N. Y, Feb. s.-The tenth
annual banquet of the Ohio Society was
held tonight at Delmonico's. In point of
number and distinguished guests it was
one of the most successful dinners ever
held by the society.
Governor Bushnell of Ohio and num-
Der of the mem bers of his staff were pres
ent in full uniform. General Burnell,
president of the society, presided.
Governor Bushnell was the speaker of
the evening. He referred to the liberal
subscription to the popular loan, and con-
tinuing he said he deeply regretted that a
mem ber of one of the most august bodies
in the world should have spoken disre-
spectfully OF the highest officer in the Ma
ton.
If he had no respect for the Chief Mag
istrate of the Nation, he should have some
for the Office.
The way to make Government re-
spected was to stand by it.. There had been
recently some talk of war. There should
be more preparation and less talk about it.
Money and ships, not talk, were the re-
quisites for war, declared the Governor.

any man who comes to see the fights and
who has the money to pay for the privi-
lege if he does not get that which his
money calls for.
Since the circulation of the circular re-
ferring to the fights ticket-selling has been
resumed at a rapid rate, and parties who
had purchased tickets and were Offering to
sell them for S5 are now confident that the
fights will come off and have withdrawn
their tickets from sale.
Dan Stuart has been in earnest CONVEX
sation with some of the leading lawyers of
Ell Paso this afternoon, and while he does
not seem in as good humor tonight as
usual, his friends claim that it is simply
for annoyance of minor details. He states
there is no contingency that can arise
which can prevent the fights from coming
off as scheduled. The only thing which
Stuart fears now is that the crowd will not
be as large as expected owing to conflict
ing reports. ~

Other Railroads Take an Active
Part in Opposition to the
Measure.
WILL LIKELY PASS THE SENATE.
Southern Pacific Men Sparring for
Time to Fix Matters in
the House.

FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. S.-The South-
ern Pacific repeal bill was not called up
to-day in the Senate on account of the
slim attendance, but will be brought up
during the early part of next week. tide
velops that the Louisville and Nashville
and Chesapeake and Ohio and Southwest
ern railroads are taking an active part
against the bill. Huntington is fighting
shy and making his fight through resi-
dent attorneys Oh the ground. There
seems little doubt of the passage of the bill
in the Senate.
The repeal bill rested quietly to-day in
the 'orders for the day. on the desk of
Clerk Cromwell, from which it may be
called at any time, unless there is OBJ
lection on the part of some one, and even
if that one be in New York or Washing
ton, looking after other skillets of fish, it
is well assured that he will not be without
some one on the floor to respond
to the slightest wish that he may ex-
press in regard to considering the
bill at an inopportune time and
enter a vehement objection to its consider
alton before Mr. Huntin eton's managers
are ready for it. 1t will remain on the
clerks desk until they are ready or it
comes up in its regular course.
Gobel recognizes the situation and
knows that ever-watchful eyes are on that
bill and that any motion to call it up
ahead of its time or before his opponents
are ready would bring an Il object" from
Mr.. Weissinger, who would go OH with his
talk or his work as if obiecting to calling
mp bills repeating rascally railroad char
ters was as much part of his daily life
as interposing the same remark in regard
to a question put to witness in magis-
trate's court, where justice was just the
thing he did not want. though supposed to
be pleading for it.
Should he happen to be out or otherwise
engaged Mr.. Goebel will see the portly and
stately form of Major Thomas H. Hayes
rise in his seat and after fastening the two
lower buttons of his Prince Albert, getting
out his handkerchief and "specs" and
wiping the latter carefully-the Major
never likes to hurry and well knows the
value of time when the enemy is paying
for it-say in his deep cultural
tones, very slowly and deliberately:
'Mr. President, did not catch the
motion made by the gentleman from Cow
ington, sir, quite clearly, and 1 would like
to understand, sir, just what it is before I
make any further remarks or allow it to
pass"
On the motion being repeated the Major
will take off his 'specs," repolish and re-
place them, clear his throat and say:

TO COMMAND THE TRANsvAAL.
The Ex-Premier of Cape Colony Will
Represent England as Well at a

copyright, 1885, by the New York Times.l

LONDON, ENG, Feb. 8.-Something alb
solutely unexpected by any one has hap
pened. Cecil Rhodes, instead of remain
ing and making sport in the gladiatorial
arena with Cham berlain, as all England
took for granted he would do, has merely
had long talk at the Colonial Office, and
is forthwith hurrying back to South
Africa. more uniooked-for and puz-
zling surprise hardly could be imag ined.
AT one stroke it throws all the imagined
forecasts out of gear. The chartered COM
pany must hold its annual meeting within
a fortnight, and the public has been wait
ing for the great speech that Rhodes was
to make as the grand opening move in the
campaign between him and Chamberlain,
which was to eclipse everything since the
time of Warren Hastings. 1t entered into
nobody's head that the battle could be
avoided. Now.we are calmly told that the
fight is off, and in mems minds there is
room for only one question. What does
it mean?"
The coincidence of Mr.. Cham berlain's
long and elaborate official statement ap-
pearing at the same hour as the news of
Rhodes swift return has to answer the
question. Means have been found to strike
a balance between the exigencies of Cham
berlain's political career and the colossal
political, financial and social influences
that the chartered company is able to
command in its defense. A compromise
has been arranged and apparently the
scheme adopted is big enough to afford
ample eIbow-room for both Rhodes
and Chamberlain's ambitions. When two
such predatory genii combine to work to-
gether it may be assumed that some third
party is to pay the bill. In this instance
it scarcely needs prophetic eye to discern
the probability that Kruger and his Beers
are marked for the sacrifice. In other
words, it is plainly open to be feared that
England, having behaved with scrupulous
correctness up to the present point of the
Transvaal business. is now about to do an
unlovely thing. Perhaps it is manifest
destiny, but it will wear an ugly aspect
none the less.
| Chamberlains lengthy recital of events
| from the starting point OF Mafeking tells
little th at is new. It throws the perfidy of
Jameson's behavior into rather stronger
| light than before and coldly hints that Sir
Hercules Robinson's innocent ignorance
of what was going on needs some further
/ investigation. But the really strong parts
of the document are not reached till he
begins to disclose the policy of the British
Cabinet England's rights of entire con-
troll of the Transvaal's external relations
and its intention to maintain them in
their integrity are affirmed in the plainest
possible language that has been done be-
| fore; but now, in addition, comes the
statement that England, by geographical
and other considerations, is justified in
rendering its friendly counsels on inter
nal matters also. Then. after long

THREE MEN LOOT A BANK,
Robbers Make a Successful Raid
in a Small Town in Mis-
souri,.
One Stands Over the Waterman While
the Other Two Secure the Con-
tents of the Safe.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Feb. 8.-The most
successful and daring bank robbery that
has occurred in Western Missouri for a
quarter of a century took place last night
at Savannah, small town fifteen miles
northeast of this city. Three experienced
cracksmen wrecked the safe of the State
Bank of Savannah, securing S25,0 in
money, Government bonds and postage
stamps.
About 1 o'clock this morning Night
Watchman Jake CARING saw three men
working at the front door of the bank.
He asked them what they were doing.
One of the robbers, without replying,
knocked CARING down, carried him into
the lobby of the bank and bound and
Dlindfolded him. He then stood guard
over CARING with cooked pistol while
the remaining two robbers drilled hole
in the safe, which was an old-fashioned
affair, and succeeded in unlocking it from
the inside.
AT o'clock this morning Bank Presi-
dent William R. Wells found CARING in
the condition described. In the meantime
the robbers, to whom there is no clew, had
had plenty of time to make good their
escape.
Mrs. Mary Breckenridge lost Sl4, ZOO in
Government bonds, of which the coupons
for January had not been clipped. The
Postmaster lost $275 in stamps and $3.50 in
money. Other local depositors lost Sic, ,0OO

Union Pacific if sold together would, he
believed, bring more than if they were
sold separately.
An offer of say $65, 1000. 900 for the two
systems was better, he believed, than any
proposition that had been submitted.
The two properties together would make
splendid system.
In response to a question by Senator
Brlce whether the Union Pacific system
was able to earn one year with another 4
per cent on S120,000,0O0, Mr.. Anderson
said that it could just about do it.
Suppose" said Mr.. Brice, "the claim
OF the Government IS taken up by some
person or corporation and properly
secured as first-mortgage lien drawing 8
per cent interest, would it be a good
proposition for the Government to accept2
Would it be better than $S5, 100000 cash 2"
"Yes, believe it would be the better
arrangement" said Mr.. Anderson.
Suppose" Mr.. Brice again asked, "we
make the interest per cent with fair
sinking fund, the bonds to run so or 100
years, how would that compare with the
others?''
| Such bond as that would not be worth
more than two-thirds as much as per
cent bond.
! MIR. Anderson was inclined to think the
acceptance of $35, 100000 would be better
than the acceptance of the 2 per cent bond.
Coils P. Huntington, representing the
Central Pacific, said he expected some
| figures from New York that had not ar
rived. He desired to be heard by the COM
mittee at some latter date, which request
was granted. Mr.. Huntington said that
when he did appear he desired to correct
some statements that misrepresented the
conditions, because they were made by
persons who did not understand the situa-
| ton.
The bonds of the Central Pacific were
sold. he said, for gold, and god was used
in building the road. The road had been
successfully operated, and Mr.. Huntington
insisted that, if given chance, it would
ultimately pay its Government debt, dol
lar for dollar.
"Why did you not use silver, Mr.. Hunt
ington, in the construction of your road?'
asked Senator Morgan, iokingly.
| Before Mr.. Huntington had an oppor-
tunity to reply Senator Stewart said: 'Sil-
yer at that time was worth Scents more
than gold, and they used the cheaper
metal"
The hearing then adjourned. The next
hearing will take place on Friday next

BEATEN BY FORAKER|TES.
Mckinley Men Defeated at a
Meeting of the County
Committee.
Now There Are Charges That Brides
Were Offered and Loud Talk
of Indictments.

SPRINGFIELD, OHIO, Feb. S.-The
Foraker and Mckinley factions came to-
gether here this afternoon at the meeting
of the County Republican Central Com
mittee in sensational manner and the
Forakerites came out victorious.
Tonight the Mckinley men were red
hot and Judge Young openly charges a
man who is very close to Governor Bush
nell with trying to buy up com mitteemen.
The fight was over the election OF chair
man, the two candidates being Sam Will
kerson, Forakerite, and Horace Keifer, a
