TIE IN THE OHIO SENATE
Situation Gives Democrats Chance to
Filibuster.
They May Try to Prevent an Organi-
xation and Thus to Defeat the
Election of Senator Hanna.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
republicans are undoubtedly right in hold
ing that in the joint session Of the house
and senate to elect a United States senator
a majority of those present and voting can
elect.
But the same construction of the law in
the Organization Of the senate will give the
democrats power to block the proceedings
as long as they please. They may by these
tactics compel the republicans to yield
some of the offices to them before they will
permit an organization to be effected
How the Matter Stands.
Supposing that the fusion republican
Voight of Cincinnati will vote on organiza-
tion with the republicans, and of that there
seems to be no doubt now, the senate will
be equally divided, 1S republicans and 1S
democrats. If all the republicans vote for
one person for any Office and all the
democrats for another, the presiding officer,
Lieutenant Governor A. w. Jones, can de-
eide the matter by his vote. But he cannot
vote unless there is a tie.
What the Democrats Can Do.
All the democrats need do to prevent Mr..
Jones from deciding the vote will be to
have one of their number cast his vote
regularly for some person other than their
caucus nominee. No person will then have
a majority of the members present and vot-
ing, and there will be no election.
If the organization of the senate should
be delayed in this way until after date for
the election of a United States senator
serious complications might arise.

TO AVERT INVASION.
Secretary Bliss Takes Action Re-
EnrdinE Wichita Reservation.

Secretary Bliss Takes Action Re-
gnrdfng Wichita Reservation.
Secretary Bliss has taken prompt action
to avert a possible invasion of the Wichita
reservation in Oklahoma by whites, with
the idea of forcing upon Congress the OPEN
ing Of that country to white settlement
Reports have just reached the department
that certain persons are declaring their in
tention to organize a large party in the
state of Kansas, or elsewhere to invade
the Wichita lands with the object stated
Instructions have been wired to all the
agents and inspectors in that section to
make inquiries and ascertain as far as pos
sible the truth of the rumors and report
the result here. The agents are called upon
to exercise great vigilance to prevent any
such invasion, and in case of necessity
where the Indian police force is inadequate,
military assistance will be promptly fur
n'shed. This action is more of a precau-
tionary measure than in anticipation of
real danger. Officials, while taking proper
steps to meet any contingency, do not ap-
prehend any serious disorder.

SECRETARY CAGES REPORT.
Will Go to Congress on the First OF
Second Day.

Will Go to Congress on the First or
Second Day.
The annual report of the Secretary of the
Treasury, according to present plans, will
be sent to Congress either on the first or
second day of the coming session. AS to
the secretary's plans for the reform of the
currency enough has been learned to give
confidence that the President is in full ac-
cord with his views and recommendations,
although in his official utterance, as ex-
pressed in his forthcoming message to Con-
gress, he may not give a complete and
specific Endorsement to all the propositions
covered by the secretary's report. There
will. however, be no differences between the
President and the secretary.
1t is also understood that the forthcoming
report Of the monetary commission will COW
er recomm endations not essentially different
from those embodied In Secretary's Cages
report to Congress. Those most familiar
with both of these important papers give
assurance that the difference between them
will be easily reconciled and that to the
support of the propositions SO harmonized
the monetary commission will be able to
bring the powerful influence of the great
body of business men which the commission
represents.

POLICE CALLED TO QUELL.. FUMULr
Members Go at Each Other Saw

PRESIDENT FLEES FOR LIFE

VIENNA, November 26.-The disorder in
the lower house of the reichsrath was so
accen tuated today that a strong detach-
ment of police had to be called in to pre-
serve order.
When the president of the house. DIR.
Abrahamovics, entered, he was greeted
with vociferous shouts of Get out" The
leftlsts rose to their feet in a body, many
OF the deputies shrieked wildly and an in
describable tumult followed
During the tumult a social democrat
Herr Berner, made a rush for the president,
and lively fist fight followed between Ber-
ner and the house attendants who attempt
ed to protect the chair.
Public Papers Destroyed.
Thereupon another social democrat, Herr
Resell, jumped upon the ministerial bench.
and. hurrying to the presidential chair.
seized the papers which were lying on the
presidents desk, and tore them to pieces.
while other social democrats fastened to
Herr Berner's assistance, occupied the
tribune and demanded satisfaction for the
attendants pummeling of Herr Berner
President Abrahamovics was compelled to
flee.
Subsequently the social democrats and
other deputies INDUCED in free fight and
Herr Berner was elected from the house.
In the meantime a detachment of seventy
police arrived in the house, and the officer
in command called upon the social demo-
Gratis to withdraw from the presidential
platform. They, however refused to with
draw, and resisted tie attempts of the po-
lice to eject them. They were eventually
removed forcibly and singly. The police
then made a Gordon around the tribune.
These scenes were enacted prior to the
formal opening of the house.
Tumult I'm Galleries.
While tie deputies were fighting and
bowling on the floor of the house a tumult
arose in the second gallery, which the at
tendants promptly cleared.
The authorities then caused all the lob

the gates were closed and the building was
guarded by strong police force.
The session of the house, in the mean
while, was suspended.

FAVoRS MODIFICATION
Senator Pritchard on Civil Service Olassifca-
tion.
Investigation of the Senate Committee
Exemption From Scholastic
Examinations.

Senator Pritchard OF North Carolina.
chairman of the committee on civil sery-
ice, says that there is a demand for some
modification of the civil service classifica-
ton, either by legislation Or otherwise. The
committee on civil SERVICE, which has taken
great deal of testimony on the subject
of the extensions of the classification by
President Cleveland and of the operation
OF the law as applied to Various branches
OF the service, will resume the inyestiga-
ton, Mr.. Pritchard says, about the 10th of
December, taking up particularly the inter
nal revenue service. 1t is likely that the
final report Of the committee will be made
to the Senate early in January. The be-
lief Is that this report will recommend
some important notifications of the sys-
tenn.
Mr.. Pritchard said on the subject TODAY
that he could not talk about what the com
mitfee might recommend in advance OF
their conclusion. but that some modifica-
ton seemed to be NECESSARY to save the
system from becoming weighted down.
Exemption From Exanination.
There are a great many people in the
country, of course" he said who declare
that they want the whole system wiped out
The conservative sentiment is, however, that
the system should be preserved and that the
best way to preserve it IL to protect it from
abuse In certain branches Of the service
and with respect to certain class of posi-
tions there Is a good healthy sentiment in
favor of classification and the merit sys-
tenn, but there is a strong sentiment against
the extension of this to offices the duties
OF which are executive. A too broad ex-
tension of the system Is calculated to
weight 1t down and render It unpopular
thereby epdangering it's continuance. l
have an Idea that good principle to adopt
would be that a scholastic examination is
proper to determine the fitness Of persons
for clerical positions, but that such a test
Is not suitable in determining the fitness
of man to fill a position where the duties
ments. Large class, of those in the rail-
way mail service, in fast all these in purely
clerical position should baE included within
the civil service law, but there are a lot of
positions that cannot be made to fit under
the classification. The idea that the law
Is sort of blanket to cover everything is
very unpopular
Financial Legislation Needed.
Senator Pritchard has little to say about
the prospect OF general legislation during
the coming session. He said that some
sort Of financial legislation was greatly
needed, but he could not tell what might
be done about the matter. The people of
the SOUTH he said, needed better banking
facilities, and were in favor Of extending
the bank currency. He said, also, that
during the session he was going to make
an effort to reduce the internal revenue tax
on whisky to 80 cents per gallon. This, he
said, would produce more revenue than
does the $1.2O rate now levied and would
be fairer to the small disti1lers.

Capt. Tuttle Talks of the Chances of
Success.
SEATTLE, Wash, November 26-The
revenue cutter Bear will, it is expected, sail
this afternoon or tonight to the relief of
the whalers who are frozen up in the Arctic
ocean, north of Point Barrow, Alaska
Capt. Tuttle. in discussing the probable
point where the sled or land party will be
landed for their dash north, said that it all
depends upon the state Of the ice pack No
vessel, he declared, has heretofore been in
that part of the Bering sea to which the
Bear is bound later than the month of Oc-
tober. The ice condition, he said, is un-
known except within sight of shore. The
natives have been unable to report on the
ice formation only so far as they have been
able to see it from the land.
LAS a result of this winters work in
Bering sea-" said Capt. Tuttle. II hope to
throw some light on the ice subject by the
time I return"
He then added, significantly: "As far as
steam and sail drive us to the north We
will CO."
Captain Tuttle will shape a course at the
outset from the straits Of Fuca to Una
laska. He hopes to make the run across
to Unalaska in seven days time The dis
tance is about 1.S50 miles.
At Unalaska the Bear will take on coal
and such supplies as the overland party
will require. These supplies will be aug
Ecented later on should the Cape Prince of
Wales reindeer station be reached by the
sled party.
AS soon as the Bear has landed the sled
expeditions he will return to Unalaska and
winter She will start out from there in
the spring as soon as there Is the slight
est chance of penetrating the ice. Her OBJ
5ectice point will be Point Barrow.

No Doubt Expressed That 1t Will Be
Accepted.


Although the resignation of Lieut..
Michael ]. O'Brien of the 5th Infantry has
not yet reached the Secretary of War, it
is said at the War Department that there
is no doubt OF its acceptance. Lieut..
OBrien has asked for a years leave of
absence, but it is net probable he will get
it, inasmuch as it is understood that Gen.
Merritt commanding the Department of
the East, has repo orted adversely on the
application. The acceptance of Lieut..
O'Brien's resignation relieves him from
the possibility of being court-martialed for
his recent alleged violations of the articles
of wac in connection with the visit of his
regiment to the Nashville exposition.
Lieut.. O'Brien graduated No. 3 in his
class at West Point, and was the special
representative of the army during the
Cbinese-Japanese war. More recently he
has been prominently before the public as
one of the principals in the O'Brien-
Romeyn scandal at Fort Mcpherson. 1t is
bis purpose to engage in literary and legal
pI1 suits, for which he is said to have
shown special aptitude.

The Record Not Received.
GIRLS WE'RE TOO PRETTY.
Abandoned by Their Uncle They May
BE Sent Back to Hamburg.

1ne1r Ihey May
BE Sent Back to Hamburg.
The Treasury Department has before it
case of unusual interest. On the 10Th
of this month Ella and Agnes Frensdorff
arrived at New York from Hamburg, Ger
many. They are fifteen and nineteen years.
respectively. They came over expecting to
make their home with an uncle named De
Young. in Brooklyn. He had written them,
it is said, that he would receive them cor
daily and give them a home.
+ The old man met the two girls upon their
arrival, hut change came over him. He
forgot his promises, and influenced, it ia
claimed by his wife. stsmmered out that
the girls were too pretty for him to un-
dertake the responsibility of rearing and
caring for them. He declined TO receive
them, and the immigration authorities were
in predicament. There was nothing to
do, however, but order the deportation Of
the girls on the ground that they would
probably become public charges. This
order was issued.
In the meantime however several He
brew societies and prominent Hebrews Of
New York began an investigation of the
cases, and at last decided to make an
appeal to the Treasury Department to
prevent deportation. Peter Fucker, a rep
resentative of these societies, has arrived
here and made a statement of the case to
Assistant Secretary Spaulding today The
societies. he said, would give bonds that
the Frensdorffs would not become public
charges. The representative of the So
cieties made verbal statement of the
case. Gen. Spaulding instructed him to file
with the department as soon possible
the facts in writing. This will be done.
Pending a further hearing Gen. Spaulding
has instructed the authorities in New York
to suspend the order of deportation.
The two girls claim that they are or
phans. and that they have no relatives who
will support them In the old country. Their
mother is dead and their father is an in
durable invalid in a hospital at Hamburg.
Ferdinand Levy, ex-register of deeds Of
New York, offers to give bond to prevent
the deportation of the girls.
telegram was also received at the
treasury today. saying that Moritz Schwab,
an uncle Of the girls, lives In st. Louis, and
offers to take them. His relationship will
be Investigated.
The uncle who refused to receive the girls

FIERCE GALES PREDICTED.
Forecast for December of the North
Pacific.

Pacific.
The chief naval photographer in his fore
cast of wind and weather in the north Pa
cific ocean for December says:
During the month the northern part Of
the north Pacific ocean will be subject to
fierce gales. These will probably be found
due principally to either of two classes of
barometric depressions. one class originat-
ing In the west and moving to the eastward
over the Japan sea and across the Island of
Hokoshu, and the other class forming to
the south of the Both parallel and moving
rorthward and tending to approach the
average storm track for December. The
region OF greatest frequency and intensity
OF these gales will probably lie north of the
ooth parallel and reach across the entire
ocean; but between Japan and longitude 100
degrees east 1t will extend as far SOUTH
ward as latitude 30 degrees north. In the
vicinity of the Philippine and Hawaiian
Islands frequent squalls may be expected.

THE TORPEDO BOAT FoorE.
Report on Her Trip, Generally Favor
able.

The naval trial board, Lieut.. Commander
Rodgers, president, which conducted the
six-hour final trial of the torpedo boat
Foote on the 18th instant, submitted its re-
port to the Secretary of the Navy today.
The board finds generally that no weakness
or defect appeared; that the machinery
showed no failure nor deterioration other
than that due to fair wear and tear, and that
there was a want of proper vacuum in the
condensers. not due, however to the con-
tractors. The guls were fired with full
charges and were found to function per-
fectiy, as did the torpedoes. The engines
and boilers worked well. and the speed
made was 1875 knots on 1872 tons displace-
ment. The reversing gear was able to
bring the boat to full stop in forty Sec
ords in distance of 200 feet.
The rudder was found to be overbalanced,
and the board condemns the practice, as
exhibited on the Foote. of placing steam
steering plant in the exposed coming tower.
