You may talk about your dodgers. and your

But calculate they don't assist an advertiser

the conference. The deep interest of the
Maryland congressman in the case of Ad-
mfral Schley, however, furnishes ample
ground for the belief that the subject of
ADMIRAL Schley and the report made by
the court OF inquiry were under discussion
Case of Deputy Auditor Dunham.
BY request of Senator Foraker the Presi-
dent few days ago withdrew from the
Senate the nomination of George P. Dun
nam Of Clinton county, Ohio. to be deputy
aGditor of the treasury for the Interior De-
partment- Mr.. Durham was appointed dep
uty auditor by Preside.t Mckinley about
SIX months ago. He was close personal
irleno OF the dead President and the ap-
pointment was largely personal with Presi-
uent mckinley. When President Roosevelt
was making up the list of recess appoint
ments 10 nominate to the Senate he came
across Mr. Dunham'S name and sent II in
with the others. 1t happens that Senator
foraker had never been supported with
great warmth in his Ohio fights by Mr.,
Dunham and so the nomination was with
drawn to give Senator Foraker opportunity
TO study over what he would do
Senator Hanna has now taken the case
up and has asked that the nomination be
made when Congress reassembles Senator
Eanna believes there will be an adjustment
OF tne case. There are no charges against
the character or efficiency of Mr. Durham
and the request for withdrawal was a
personal matter with Senator Foraker

personally he was in favor of any 1egisla-
ton which would do justice to Schley. His
proposition, which brings in Sampson and
Clark, is merely conciliatory, and done for
the purpose of securing action. If this
joint resolution should be adopted Mr.
Pearre believes that the findings of the
court would in that act be officially discred-
tied. as the promotion of Rear Admiral
Schley would be directly opposed to the re-
suit which would naturally follow the find
ings of the court which criticised his ac-
ton. If the Navy Department should deal
with Schley it could only reduce him,
whereas if Congress passed a measure pro-
noting him it would be held to be a crit
icism of the court The friends of Schley
in the House seem to be determined to
push the matter with the utmost vigor,
and efforts will be made to have the va
rious bills and resolutions which have been
introduced on the subject taken up by the
naval committee as soon as possible. In
doing this the House committee on rules
will have to be confronted and those who
have been investigating the attitude of this
committee believe that there is no DISPOSE
tion on the part of the dominant party in
Congress TO take up the Schley question
unless Admiral Sampson be coupled with
any measure which shall go through in the
way of a promotion.

SULLIVAN CASE CLOSES.
Chicago Attorney Charged With Jury
Bribing for Railroads.

CHICAGO, December T-Attorney P. H
o ODonnell closed the argument for the de-
fense of Alexander Sullivan today and
passed the case up to Assistant States At
torney Barnes, who at once asked the jury
TO send Sullivan to the penitentiary for con-
spiracy in connection with corruption of
juries in the civil courts here three years
ago.
Mr.. O'Donnell made a strong plea for
his client, and tried to show that the West
Chicago Street Railway Company was the
real culprit. He denounced Lynch's testi-
mony against Sullivan and took to task the
street railway compaG and its directors,
whom he called Jury bribers' masters
He said it was common knowledge that the
West Chicago Street Railway Company had
a department of corruption and dishonor,
and he wanted to know if the jurors thought
it possible that the road had not begun
bribery until 1897, when .,.r. Sullivan made
a contract with the road. He also asked
the jury if it was reasonable that the rail-
way directors bribed or that they had a
man to do it who would not profit by it a
penny.
1t is expected that Mr.. Barnes will finish
for the state in time to let the case go to
the jury tonight.

Minister Fielding of the Dominion govern

today offering him. in behalf of the Cana

aging propositions, assuring him that there
Is no obstacle in the way Of his carrying

and inviting him to Ottawa to discuss the
matter.
In consequence of this fiattering proposal.
Marconl will leave St. Johns for Ottawa
tomorrow night. He will meet at Montreal

BOYLE have offered him financial support in

shares have dropped four points, while
Eastern Telegraph was a close second with

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, December 21-It is
given out from the Hanna headquarters to-
day that Uhl, the Hanna candidate for
clerk of the senate, is absolutely certain
to be elected. and that Price, the Foraker
candidate for speaker of the house, and
Speelman, Foraker candidate for house
clerk, cannot be elected. They say that
twenty-four of the twenty-seven republi-
can members of the house that were re-
elected will absolutely refuse to vote for
Price. Thirty-f1ve votes is a majority in
the caucus.
Senator Hanna has definitely rejected the
proposition of Senator Foraker as to a di-
vision of the offices, which included the
election of Price for speaker The fight
seems to be on in earnest now. Dr. Hir-
sey OF the Hanna management said today
that Senator Hanna fully realized that
While the offices involved We're trivial in
Importance it was a question to be set

will base his claims to the honor upon a
