mile for the round trip from his home to Washington and return. The Pacific coast members received about $1,300 apiece in mileage alone, and, as they are presumed to travel with passes, the money goes far towards paying winter board bills. The largest sum ever received by a member of Congress was paid the delegate from Washington Territory, who, before the completion of the Northern Pacific Railroad, was obliged to travel overland to Portland, Ore., thence by steamer to San Francisco, and over the Union and Central Pacific railroads East. He received over $1,700 mileage each session. Some of the members of Congress from far distant States have remained in Washington during the entire summer recess, and at the loginning of anew session drawn mileage for the entire distance from their homes to the capital. Mr. Miller proposes to introduce a bill abolishing mileage and allowing members to charge their actual traveling expenses simply. KIDNAPING NEf.ROES. How Colored Men Are Impressed and Put to Work in the Oyster ISeds. Washington, dan. 11. —One of the leading bureau officials here is the authority for the statement that there exists in this city a regular organized system for the kidnaping of negroes for imprisonment to work upon the oyster beds in Chesapeake bay. There he is worked as bard nnd punished as severely as in the old slave days. He said that colored men every now and tfceci disappear from Washington, and it was only quite recently that these disappearances had been explained. He gave an instance that had come under liis personal knowledge. He said: A young colored man was walking along the street in October, looking for work. He was accosted by a passer-by, who asked him if he wanted a job, and upon receiving an affirmative answer, lie asked: ‘Wliat kind of work do you want?” “I want a job of waiting on the table.” ‘‘Well, now. that's lucky. There is a steamer I belong to lying at the Seventh-street wharf that needs waiters, and 1 can insure you a job. Come on and 1 11 go down with you.” Upon arriving at the wharf they of course found that the steamer had just sailed for Balti more. In order not to lose such a good place the steamboat man induced the young colored fellow to go to Baltimore by train, so as to catch the boat there. At Baltimore, with the promise of meeting the steamer, he was induced to go out in a small boat. Ho was taken to an oyster-boat out in the river, and when once on hoard he had no chance of returning to shore. He was taken down the bay to the oyster-beds, and is now there, compelled by the most cruel treatment to work at all hours and in all weather, sick or well. The friends of the young man only recently learned his whereabouts, and are endeavoring to secure his release. Hu is a consumptive, and it is feared he will not stand the hard life till spring. “How did they find out where ho ■was?” was asked. “Another young colored fellow of this city, who was also pressed into the oyster service, made up his mind to escape from his captors, and he promised his sick friend that if hfe succeeded in reaching Washington ho would let his folks know his whereabouts. This man did escape by jumping overboard and swimming ashore. He succeeded in making his way up to Washington, and upon arriving here kept his promise. Ile tells a heart rending tale of the cruel treatment they received at the oyster beds. The sick man. he says, is compelled to work at the windlas, when he is physically unable to do a stroke of work. A refusal only brings on blow's. This is not the only man down there, he says, who has been pressed into the service by some cleverly-concocted plan. Now this is not fiction that J have been mating to you. and if the matter is properly investigated, much more than what J have told you w ill be discovered. Make inquiries in Baltimore and see if they don’t acknowledge the existence of a press gang, but that they are unable to break it up. Os course, it is none of my official business, but I happened to hear the story, and I should think steps ought to be taken to liberate the poor fellows, and any others who may be similarly situated.”

I*L EIKO-PNK PMO SI A. Meetiag of the Committees of tlie House and Cattle Men. Washington, Jan. 11.—A meeting of the members of the House committee on agriculture and members of the committee of cattle men appointed recently by the Chicago convention was held at the capital to-day. A general discussion on contagious diseases among cattle was indulged in The committee of cattle men, in answer to the inquiries of representatives, said that disease existed in Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Connecticut, New York, and possibly in other places. In New York a few counties were reported infected. Mr. Hunt, of New Jersey, said if Congress would appropriate an adequate amount payable to the order of the authorities of the different States and protect New Jersey for six months from the importation of diseased cattle. The State in six months could stamp out pi euro-pneumonia in its territory. Dr. Law, of the Cattle Commission of the Treasury Department, said the disease was undoubtedly the result of importation. lie said with plenty of money and a federal law it could be eradicated in two months. New York <dty had at one time stamped it out in three mouths. He advocated the burning of buildings where tlie disease occurred. Judge Carey, of Wyoming, gave a history of the disease, saying it was like Asiatic cholera. It exists on the continent of Europe. Great Britain. Australia, New Zealand and this eoun try. If the disease manifested itself in tlie West it could not be stopped. 11 is said SIOO. - 000,000 is invested in tlie cattle business in the United States. Representative Hatch said Mr. Singleton, of Illinois, offered SI,OOO reward for an animal infected with pleuro-pneumonia. but no one accepted. Several members of the Cattle Commission at once offered to show the disease to any one. doubling its existence. Representative Weller gave notice that ho would offer a bill appropriating $10,000,000 by the government for the suppression of contagious discs uses among cattle, to Ik? distributed among the States and Territories in iatio to their representation in Congress, provided that each State give a sum equal to the amount to bo given by tlie government Thu legislation proposed is to make the shipment of cattle known to be diseased a penal offense, establish a cattle bureau in the. Agricultural Department, increase the power of the Commissioner of Agriculture, provide funds for fm elaborate investigation of diseased cattle, and provide an appropriat ion for the purchase of diseased cattle, so that they may be destroyed. An appropriation will be asked fur the first year of SSOO, OX). _ OUR PORK ABROAD. Indications That Bismarck Discerns Trouble in the future. Washington. Jan. 11. —The report from Berlin tliat Bismarck has directed inquiries to be made in the maritime provinces of Germany as m the propriety of exempting them from the op-rations of the prohibitory legislation in relation to American pork is regarded here an being a prompt acknowledgment of the power of the 1 ';uted States to inflict serious damage on German interests by retaliatory measures. The* as ten ess of Bismarck in trying to ward this off by prompt action is as it is certain that the fubjeet will l>e agitated in Congress. As a sample of the expressions which are heard on tlie subject, Governor Curtin, chairman of the committee on foreign affairs, said that he is decidedly in favor of retaliatory measures, ami be would lay an embargo on every article-shippod from Germany and Franco to the United States. A Demand for Legislation. St. Tjours, Jan. 11.—A number of prominent pork packers and provision dealers held a meeting this afternoon and adopted a resolution earns4iy requesting all representatives "in Congress

from Missouri to take measures to protect this interest from the injurious and unjust discrimination recently adopted by the governments of Germany and France in prohibiting the importation of American hog products into those countries. SENATOR VOORHEFA He Declares He Will Not Bea Candidate for Governor. Washington Special to Cincinnati Enquirer. The attention of Senator Voorhees being called to the use of his name in connection with the next race for Governor of Indiana, he said: “I will not be a candidate for Governor. This you may publish, if you wish, as a thing to be relied on. I never aspired to the office, and do not now. No circumstances in the future will bring about my nomination. Other gentlemen of ability and with claims upon the party desire the position, and will be presented to our next State convention.” “Who will be the strongest candidate, Senator?” asked the reporter. “It is not for me to say who is the most prominent, or who would likely be strongest before the people; but those most frequently mentioned in that connection now are General Manson, Colonel Gray, Judge Turpie, Judge Holman, Mr. Bell, of Fort Wayne; Mr. Mack, of Terre Haute, and others of equal merit, perhaps, hut not so much canvassed.” “Will the Democrats carry Indiana next fall?” “Yes. We can elect any one. I have named, if our national issues are judiciously defined. With sensible issues and an honest ballot, Indiana is a Democratic State. There is no want of harmony in the Democratic party of indiana at this time. Os course, I expect in the next canvass of the State to do my full share of hard work, as I have done for many years past. lam fully conscious of having done all in my power in the Senate for the interests of the people of Indiana; and whether a candidate for anything or not, I am willing at all times to take their judgment on my conduct.” MINOR MATTERS. Order Authorizing llie Redemption of the Carbajal (Mexican) Bonds. Washington, Jan. 11.—Morgan, United States Minister to Mexico, has reported to the Department of State the order of the President of Mexico, establishing a mode of redemption of what is known as the Carbajal bends, on and after Jan. 1, 1884. The order directs the Mexican Secretary of the Treasury to notify the consul of Mexico, at New York, to inform holders of such bonds that, from the date mentioned, they will be received as a cash money payment 5 per cent, of import duties at the maritime custom-house, Vera Cruz, and payment of 10 per cent, of such duties at the custom-houses at Tampico, Matamoras, Montery. Laredo, Mier and Carmargo. provided, however, that in view of the fact that the genuine bonds put in circulation by Gorlios & Cos. may be confounded with the fraudulent ones, they must be previously presented to the general, treasury in order to be certified as genuine before they are received by the custom-houses. The interest accrued on the bonds will be paid at par. and should any holder desire to receive the principal also, although the same may not be due, the bonds will be taken at a discount of 7 per cent, per annum until Sept. 30, 1885, when they mature. Pleasant Story About Ex-Senator Bruce. Washington Special. When Mr. Bruce was senator from Mississippi, a young lady whose relatives before the war were immediate neighbors of the family with whom Bruce lived, and who, through the misfortune of w’ar, lost everything, applied for a position in the Treasury Department. Her application was vaguely made, and met with equal success. She was in desperate financial straits. Asa dernier resort she applied to Senator Bruce. What do you suppose he said to her? Wliat he said was this: “Miss , I have an appointment left at ray disposal in the Department. I well remember your family down in Mississippi in old times. You shall have that position at once. I know', of course. Miss , that you, on account of our difference in color, and on account of things generally, would be disobliged if I were to offer to go in person with you. but my brougham is outside and I will see you to it, tell my driver to drive slowly, and 1 will take a streetcur and be at the Department before you and have the Secretary appoint you.” And he did it. That act I know to be a fact.

liongstreet'g Bart Management. Washjnto(n, Jan. 11.—It is understood that the official affairs of General Longstreet. United States marshal for tlie Northern District of Georgia, are in an unsatisfactory condition, Recently, it appears, two of his bondsmen became uneasy and discon ten tod on account of what they regarded his loose management of the office, and demanded to be released from his bond. It is also reported that some time ago lie sent in a large account for expenses, etc., which upon examination was found incorrect in so many particulars that the disallowances by* the examiners in the Department of Justice amounted to some SII,OOO. General Longstreet's troubles are attributed wholly to his inaptitude in the management of the business details of his office, and in no respect whatever to lack of integrity or honesty of purpose. Confirmations. Washington, Jan. 11.—The Senate to-day confirmed the following nominations: United States consuls —Frank H. Mason, Marseilles; Robt. J.

Washington, Jan. 11.—A delegation of Apache chiefs is in the city, and yesterday were at the Treasury enjoying the hospitality and the cigars of one of the officials. The lady clerks flocked into the room to see the braves, and were gazing in curosity at them when one of the sober chiefs, after contemplating the bevy of blushing maidens, turned to the head of the bureau and confidentially and seriously, but very audibly, remarked: ik Me give'twenty-five ponies for one of your squaws.” The remark carried consternation into the ranks of tho treasury girls, and tb*y scattered to tho four quarters of the building. Mr. Anthony Declines. Washington, Jan. 11.—Tho committee representing the Senate Republican caucus hold a brief consultation with Senator Anthony to-day in relation to the presidency pro tern, of the Senate.
