LARGE APPROPRIATIONS.

 

 

It Is Feared That the Usual Heavy Ex-
penditures of “Last Sessions" Will
Be _MadeI-—- Chairmen Arriving
and Getting Into Harness.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.—When the sen;
atoi‘s and representatives gather in the
capitol on Monday of next week for the
opening of the short session of congress,
they will find everything in readiness for
them. The entire building has been reno-
vated and the halls of both houses cleaned
and the furniture repaired and put in order.

The most important improvement is a
new ventilating system in the senate wing,
which is expected to do away with the com-
plaints made for so many years of the un-
healthfulness of the air senators have been
compelled to breathe. If the new system
works as well as is expected.-there is no
part of the chamber that will not be sup-
plied. with perfectly fresh and healthful
Eur.

Another marked improvement is in the

' lighting of the capitol grounds, where here-

tofore a few widely separated gaslights
have only served to make the gloom more
marked. These have been replaced with
electric lights on ornamental posts, which
make the grounds reasonably safe for pe-
destrians, notwithstanding the failure of
congress to provide an adequate watch
force.

Members of both houses are arriving in
Washington on nearly every train and are
locating their families for the winter. Vice
President Stevenson is expected late this
week and will be at the N ormandie hotel,
where he has lived since the commence-
ment of his term of Office. Speaker Reed,
his wife and daughter, will be at their old
qfiarters in the Shoreham.

fienator Sherman, who, as chairman of
the committee on foreign relations, will
have charge of the Cuban matter and all
other foreign questions in the senate, has
been for several weeks in his elegant home
in K street, and most of his colleagues on
this important committee have also ar-
rived. Senator Hawley, chairman of the
committee on military afi'airs, is here pre-
paring to push to their final passage, if
possible, the bills providing for the reor-
ganization of the army and for the revision
of the militia laws to make them conform
with modern conditions.

The Appropriations.

. Chairman Dingley of the house commit-
tee on ways and means and leader of the
house is expected at the Hamilton House
on Friday next. Chairman Cannon of the
house Committee on appropriations is ex-
pected tomorrow, when the whole subject
of appropriations at the coming session
will be gone over and the various bills will
be assigned to subcommittees. The clerks
of the committee have already prepared the
groundwork for the bills, and the com-
mittee expects to have its work well in
hand by the time congress meets, so as to

' bring forward some of the most important

appropriation bills early in the session.

It is expected that the total appropria-
tions for the session will be about the same
as for the last session, notwithstanding the
fact that there will be no river and harbor
Three very powerful influ-
ences will be exerted, however, to keep the
expenditures as low as possible. These will
be Speaker Reed, Chairman Cannon and
Representative Sayers, the leading Demo-
crat on thecommittee on appropriations.

One of the bills which are expected to be
larger this session than in the last is the
fortifications bill. It is the established
policy of the war department to push the
work on fortifications up to the full limit
of the facilities for doing the work proper-
ly, and both houses of congress are disposed
to support this policy, so that practically
all the money asked for by Secretary La-
mont will be appropriated.

River and Harbor Works.

On account of the delay of the war de-
partment in entering into contracts for
river and harbor work under the continu-
ous contract provisions of the last river
and harbor bill there will be comparatively
little money required for these works dur-
ing the next fiscal year, and the sundry
civil appropriation bill may not be much
larger than last year. The naval bill will
probably be somewhat larger, for the work
now in progress will have to be provided
for irrespective of any new vessels which
may be authorized.

The greatest pressure will be brought
for the passage of bills authorizing new
public buildings. There is scarcely a
member of either house of congress who
has not one or more such bills in which his
constituents are interested, and he will
push them with all his ability. Speaker
Reed succeeded in keeping most Of these
bills back in the last session, but there was
a great deal of complaint in consequence,
and it is not probable that he will be able
to prevent the passage of a large number
at this session.

The second session of a congress is al-
ways a difficult one in which to keep down
appropriations, and it is doubtful if all
that Speaker Reed and his supporters can
do will prevent the total for the session
amounting to more than $600,000,000.

Robert E. Marshall a Suicide.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.——Robert F. Mar-
shall, 34, superintendent of the Altoona
division of the Pennsylvania railroad, shot
himself at his brother’s house in Washing-
ton today. Mr. Marshall was one of the
most valued young men in the Pennsyl-
vania service. For some time he has suf-
fered from acute nervous troubles resulting
from overwork, and it is to this that the
tragedy is attributed. He was a son of J.
W. Marshall.

A YOKOHAMA MYSTERY.

Death In That City by Arseniool
Poisoning of R. H. Carew. '
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.—-The steam-

ship Do‘ric, from Hongkong' and YOkO~

hama, brings the news that Yokohama so.-
ciety, is torn up over a mysterious poison-

ing case. Mr. R. H. Carew, occupying a.

good social position and secretary of the

Yokohama‘United club, who was married

to a lady of substantial income, was taken

ill Oct. 15 and died Oct. 22. ~ A coroner’s

inquest was held, and it was'a‘iscovered

The

that he had been poisoned. The evidence

showed that Mrs. Carew just before his ill-
ness and after he was sick had purchased
arsenic in such quantities as to alarm the
druggist. She said she wanted it for ma-
larial fever.

Mrs. Carew told a remarkable story of a
mysterious veiled woman dressed in black
who called on her husband , Oct. 10. Mr.
Carew was not at home, and the woman
left after making an appointment to meet
him. Mr. Carew appeared to be greatly
worried when the woman failed to keep
the appointment and wrote her a. letter ad-
dressed to Annie Luke. Mr. Carew was
taken ill Oct. 15, and Oct. 20, while Mrs.
Carew was out, the same mysterious wom-
an called at the house. She asked where
Mr. Carew’s room was situated, and the
servant, after telling her, went to bed,
That was the last seen of the mysterious
visitor, but Mrs. Carew received from her
a letter written by Mr. CarSW which had
been thrown into a wastebasket. After
Mr. Carew had died and the inquest was in
progress the woman wrote to Messrs. Low-
der and Hall stating that she was going to
join her “twin soul,” and that she had
fooled the chemist, the doctor and that
“silly little wife.” The police have been
unable to find any trace of the woman in
black.

The coroner’s jury brought in a verdict
that Mr. Carew died from the effects of ar-
senic poisoning, but by whom the poison
was administered there was no evidence to
show. Mrs. Carew was then arrested and
charged with the murder of her husband,
but was later released on bail. Her trial
was in progress when the steamer left.

Cleveland Will Not Be the Dean.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 1.—The fact that
President Cleveland has purchased a house
at Princeton, N. J ., where he will make
his home after the expiration of his term
of office, has given rise to a rumor that he
would become dean of the Princeton law
school. President Patton of the university,
who was in Baltimore, authoritatively de-
nied this rumor.

An Interesting Rumor.

ALBANY, Dec. 1.——A rumor that has
obtained great currency and which, while
not confirmed, is decidedly interesting, is

not be the next United States senator, but
that Governor Elect Black will be selected
to fill the Hill vacancy, leaving Timothy
Woodruff to assume the duties of governor.

The Koerner Divorce Suit.
BUFFALO, Dec. 1.———A decree of absolute
divorce was granted Mrs. Georgia Koerner

counter suit was thrown out Of court.

News men THE ORIENT.

Russia Has Not Established a Su'zerninty
i Over Korea.

- SAN JOSE, Cal, Dec. 1.—-R. W. Irwin,
who has been in Japan for 30 years and
has represented the Hawaiian government
there, first as consul and afterward as min-
inster, during the greater part of that time,

has just arrived from the orient. He said:

“The statement that Russia. has estab-
lished a suzerainty over Korea is incorrect,
although the fact that the king'has housed
in the Russian legation might lend cre-
dence to that supposition. 'Japan’s ambi-
tion does not extend to Korea. American
influence is uppermost in the kingdom,
and I am credibly informed that the
king is acting entirely under the advice of
three Americans—Minister Sill, the sec—
retary of the American legation and an
American missionary of the name of Un-
derwood. ” .

Mr. Irwin says that Japan’s sole ambi-
tion. now is commercial and industrial.

- The government is encouraging the con-

struction, operating and maintenance of
railway and steamship lines and manufac-
turing industries. He declares, however,
that a false impression has been gained of
the extent and importance of the steamship
subsidies recently ofi'ered. _ _

“The subsidies offered are entirely inad-
equate for the purpose of maintaining a
powerful line of transpacific steamers, ” he
declared; “ the Nippen Yuzen Kaiasa, which
has undertaken to run a line Of ships be-
tween Japan and Seattle, will think better
of the project before two oP-three years are
passed, and the company, which is headed
by S. Asano,'will, in my honest opinion,
never materialize. It will be many years
before San Diego is the terminus of any
Japanese transpacific steamship line that
Asano or any other Japanese capitalist or
corporation may establish. Asano’sunder-
taking is largely a myth.

”Just now the Transsiberian railway
is attracting considerable attention in the
orient. I believe that in three years the
Transsiberian railway will be completed
to Vladivostok and to a port on the Yang-
tse river, probably Hankow. It stands to
reason that the road will tap China if it
wants to get business. Its terminus will
not be an open port to Korea. It will be a
port on the Yang—tse river, the tea market
of the world. -Russia will build from the
Mongolian frontier .1 Peking with French
capital, and China will build from Pe-'
king to Hankow or some point near by on‘
the river with British capital.

“That is the present fixed programme,
and Li Hung Chang will see it carried out
if he lives a few years. He said as much
when in England. China’s part Of the pro-
gramme can- only be consummated by
doubling her customs duties. She is now
taking steps toward the accomplishment of
that.”

Pennsylvania Traction Receiver.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1.—Judge Dallas
in the United States circuit court today
appointed William R. Given of Columbia,
Pa, receiver of the Pennsylvania Traction
company, which operates 59 miles of trol-
ley railway in Lancaster county. The
court fixed Mr. Given’s bond at $30,000,
and a certificate for the amount was im-
mediately furnished by the Equitable Trust
company of this city.

Decision Against Broker Chapman.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. -— The United
States supreme court has dismissed the
writ of" error in the case of Elvarton R.
Chapman, the New York broker charged
with violation of the statutes in refusing
to answer questiOns put by the senate
Sugar trust investigating committee two
years ago. This makes it necessary for
Chapman to serve his sentence, at least
technically.

Governor Morton and Civil Service.

ALBANY, Dec. 1.———The governor has
not asked the civil service commission to
do anything radical in changing their
schedule and has never intimated to them
that they should place the legislative ap-
pointments under civil service. He has

‘ simply requested that the commission raise

the schedule in accord with the constitu—
tion. '

Herr Rosenthai Ill.

CHICAGO, Dec‘. 1.—-Herr Morriz Rosen-
thal, the celebrated pianist, will remain at
his apartments at the Auditorium hotel
under the care of a trained nurse, it being
deemed dangerous to attempt his removal
to a hospital. The following bulletin was
given out: “Dr. Kunc says Rosenthal is
probably developing typhoid fever. ”

Two Men Badly Wounded.

BOSTON, Dec. 1.~—What .will probably
prove a double murder occurred in a little
candy and fruit store on Broadway today,
when H. H. Holmes shot W. H. Jordan,
proprietor of the store, three times, and
the latter succeeded in cutting a deep gash
in Holmes’ throat before he fell to the floor
exhausted from his own wounds.

Burned to Death on a.~ Steamer.

SOUTH HAVEN, Mich, Dec. 1.—The
steamboat Cut-y of Kalamazoo took fire to-
day and is leOSt a total loss. Robert Van
Ostrand and Joseph Lang, who were on
the boat, were overcome by smoke and
burned to death. Three other men es-
caped without their clothing.

Delay In the Russell-Scott Case.

LONDON, Dec. 1.—-—The further hearing
of the suit Of Earl Russell against Lady
Selina Scott, his mother-in-law, and three
men for criminal libel was adjourned for
a week today owing to the illness of Fred-
erick Kast, one Of the male defendants.

A Packer Colliery Shut Down.
ASHLAND, Pa., Dec. 1.—-Pa.cker1 col-
1' ry, No. 5, at Park Place, Pa, owned by
t e Lehigh Coal company, closed down to-
day for an indefinite period, presumably
for repairs. Eight hundred men and boys
are thrown out of employment.

I had an obstinate skin disease, called Eczema.
My body, head, and arms were covered with
spots like drops of mortar. which came'off in
la ers of d scales. I suffered for over a year
