D0YLE'S FIGHT ON DEVEAUX.
THE EX-POSTMAsTER TO HAVE A
TALK WITH THE PRESIDENT.

Claims His Race for Congress Makes
IcctOrship-DOes Not Believe De-
Veaux's appointment Is Assured.
Mai. Hanson's Surrender to De-
veauX Causing "a Grent Deal OF
Comment and Deal Involving
MacOn's POstmastership Suspected.
Washington, Jan. 27.-Joseph Doyle ar
rived here this morning from Savannah
with the intention of smashing the slate
which contemplates the appointment of
Deveaux to the Savannah collectorship.
Mr.. Doyle visited the capitol and con-
suited several of his senatorial friends on
the subject, and tomorrow he expects to
have an interview with the President He
would have gone to the White House to-
day, but for the fact that the President
has gone to New York to dine with the Ma
uonal Manufacturers Association.
Mr.. Doyle says he does not believe De-
veaux's appointment is assured, and he
will demonstrate to the President to-mor-
row that he Doyle is the logical candi-
date, by reason of the fact that he has the
official endorsement of the Republicans in
Savannah, as shown in his race for Con-
gress against Col Lester.
There is considerable comment upon
Maj. Hansen's surrender to Deveaux in
order to prevent Judson Lyons from get
ting the Augusta postmastership. Some
of the Georgia Republicans assert that
Maj. Hanson received something more
than the assurance that Lyons will not get
the Augusta postmastership in return for
his endorsement of Deveaux. 1t is report
ed that he is pulling every wire in sight to
get the Macon postmastership for Harry
Edwards, and it is said that he surren-
dered to the Deveaux forces in
return for a partial understanding that
Edwards is to get the Macon postoffice.
This is very distressing news for Walter
Corbett, who has been industriously at
work as a sort of recording and CORE
spending secretary for the Georgia Repub-
llcan bureau, ever since the election OF
Mr.. Mckinley. Corbett has the promise
OF Col. Buck and all of the leaders of the
republican organization that he shall
have the Macon postoffiee, and there will
be a merry war if Maj Hanson is able
to upset the plans of the leaders and threw
Corbett down, in favor of Edwards. Ger
bett is here looking after his own inter-
ests. and he does not propose to be side
tracked without a murmur. He claims to
have fairly won the position by his fidelity
to the party, and he will contest every
| inch of ground with Maj Hanson or any
| one else who tries to block his game.

ANTI-SCALPING BILL.
Several Additional Amendments to
the Measure Proposed

Washington Jan. 27.-The Senate COM
mittee on interstate commerce held its
first executive meeting to-day for the con-
sdeEation Of the anti-scalping bill
The hearings were brought to close
and the committee decided to exert every
effort to reach a vote at the meeting to be
held a week from to-day. The opponents
of the bill did not evince a disposition to
postpone the vote longer than necessary
to present their views, and some of them
expressed the opinion that the vote would
not under any circumstances, be deferred
longer than two weeks.
There was also a general agreement to
accept the House bin as the basis of flu
ture consideration. This bill was origin
ally a copy of the Senate bill, but 1t was
amended in committee in particulars which
meet with the approval OF the Senate com
mttee.
Az to-day's meeting several amendments
additional to those made by the House
committee were suggested. Among these
was one compelling the railroad companies
to redeem the unused portions of tickets
at a rate proportionale to the cost of the
entire ticket; another mitigating the PEN
aities imposed for violation OF the law.
and sull another consolidating the bill
with the bill introduced by Senator Cullom
last week for the Improvement of the
status of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission
1t was stated that other amendments
still would be offered and the intimation
was given out that one of these might pro-
vide that passes should he made good to
the bearer.

OWN ALL THE SURPLUS WHEAT.
The Letter Combination Gives out
Its Figures.

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan, 27--"Basing our esti-
mates on the government figures, We
think we now own every bushel of surplus
wheat in this country" George E. French,
the active manager of the big wheat COM
bination, was speaking for himself and
Joseph Letter, who IS the visible head of
the Clique" He said: According to the
most reliable estimates obtainable, we
think there Is not more than 100000
bushels of wheat unaccounted for. Scat
tered over different parts of the country
we have holdings Of at least that amount,
so we can safely claim to hsve possession
of all the surplus"
Added to the government estimate of
$50, OOOClO bushels for last years crop, the
100000 bushels carried over from the
crop of 1896 gave Mr.. French his basis of
$50, 100000 bushels as the original supply.
This he proceeded to dispose of as fol-
lows: Exported to date, 145,000,O00 bushels;
es stimated necessary for home consump-
ton, $40 600 bushels; estimated neces-
sary for seed. 600O0, 600 bushels, making a
total of 5f5,0Oo000 bushels comfortably put
away. The difference between the orgi-
nal estimated surplus and the amount .ac-
counted for is 100000 bushels. This the
amount of wheatlwhich, according to Mr..
French, furnishes the key to the situation.
and on which the clique has put a price
of 10 cents in advance of the Chicago
price for May wheat whatever that may
be from day to day.
''The situation is simply this" declared
Mr. French. "EFerything goes 10 show
that this country has sent abroad more

TEHAUNTEPEC's EARTHQUAKES.
A Dozen Shocks Accompanied by
Loud Subterranean Noises.

Loud Subterranean Noises.
Tehuantepec, Jan. 27.-Last evening and
early this morning a dozen shocks of
earthquake were experienced, causing con-
sternation among the people, who have
come to regard this city as standing over
the seat of violent seismatic disturb
ance.
Subterranean noises like distant rumb-
ling of artillery wagons were heard. No
one was harmed, however.
The violence of the disturbance seemed
to be restricted to a limited area, which
has been explored thoroughly recently by
the federal government committee charged
with discovering the authority of the
earthquake. 1t is a remarkable fact that
the earthquakes continue along the coast
of Oaxaca and the fishermen who have
now become accustomed TO connections of
the seas and heavy waves impeled to-
wards the shore by seismis action believe
that a new island is forming below the
surface and will shortly emerge from the
water.
One of the facts worthy of remark here
is that the shakes are accompanied by the
rise of fine cloud of dust which appears
like a haze.
