Twenty-riT Pension ISills Passed While the Texas Kicker Vi Asleep. Washington. Jan. ft representative 'Buck" Klljrore, of Texas, look a nap on a sofa in the cloak-rooms of tho House to day. and when aroueed by the information that ''pension hills were up." he found that with remarkable celerity the House had passed a large number of private pension bills bo had intended to oppose. Bopresentativc O'Neill, of Boston, was put in tho cha'.r daring the afternoon, and the Clerk was admonished to read lively, and between Mr. O'Neill's rapid dispatch of business and Mr. Kilgore'a slumbers the House was in a fair way to dispose of the private calendar, when the Texas member awoke and made his presence felt. In the meantime twenty-lire bills bad boen passed. . In his opening prayer the Chaplain uttered a special invocation for Divine protection for the Governors and Legislatures of the several States. The Speaker, aflfcr the approval of the journal and a fruitless call of committees for report?, stated that on Dee. 17 a bill bad been called up by Mr. Outhwalte. extending the proVisions of the aot to provide for the muster and pay of certain othcers and men of the volunteer forces. He further stated that upon that date no quorum had voted upon the ineaure: and its consideration had been postponed nntil to-day. Mr. Kilgore suggested that tho House had no authority to make any order of postponement, as there had been no quorum present. The Speaker No quorum voting. And as he uttered these words the Speaker himself could not repress a smile, while a laugh went through the House which was made more emphatic when Mr. Beed dryly remarked that he hoped the gentleman from Texas would understand the distinction. It was a perfectly legal one. The bill was passed, and tho House then proceeded to consideration of private pension hills, with the result noted above. "WILL REST AFT E It MAUCII 4. Latest Gossip Concerning- the Faturo Flans of President Harrison. Washington'. Jan. C A gentleman "whose relations with President Harrison are of an intimate character said to-day, ' that while tho President's plan 'was detinitely forme J, It was of a modest character. He will go to Indianapolis directly after Mr. Cleveland's inauguration, and make arrangements for reopening his house in that city. Having resumed his home in Indianapolis, the President will give himself up to absoluto rest from all business cares and responsibilities for such a period na he may deem advisable. The reports to the effect that, having secured a su Hi cent rest, he will forma partnership with one or more distinguished lawyers in the East or West and re-engage in the aotive practice of his profession, were said to be entirely erroneous and foreign to the President's inclinations and bin intentions. His purpose was cot to retire from the practioe of law altogether, but to contine his intentions to a fo w important cases, acting generally as consulting attorney or reieree, or in similar cases which would not require his too frequent abearance before State and municipal tribunals. It was also stated that the President's reputation as an able and experienced lawyer would doubtless bring to him legal business of great Importance. With respect to the reported invitation extended to the President by Stauford University, of California, to deliver occasional law lectures before its students, the President's friend said that he believed that such an invitation had been received, but that it was probable that no dotinite conclusion about it had been reached. Even if the invitation were accented, Mr. Harrison's presence in the university would only be occasional. His old home in Indianapolis and the many ties which bind him to that city would, therefore, be infrequently and only temporarily disturbed. However," tho gentleman concluded, "this is but m possibility. 1 feel positive that tho President's only definite plans relate to his return to Indianapolis, the ro-establish-tnent of nis residence there, the comfort of a needed rest and a determination , to enpa go in the practice of his profession in Im portant cases, when his services are re quired. 7t "WILL CONSULT CLEVELAND. Mr. Harter Goes to New York to Talk with the I'rpRident-Elect on Silver. Epeclal to tne Imlianspolla JourniL Washington', Jan. ft Congressman M. D. Harter, of Ohio, tho well-known antisilver representative, left for New York tonight, to confer with President-elect Cloveland over his resolution to suspend tho purchase of silver by tho United States nntil an international agreement shall have been reached by at. least Germany. France, Great Isritain and tho United States fixing the valuation of silver for coinage purposes. Mr. Harter has beeni calculating tho cost of tho silverpurchased by tho government under the Sherman act ot 1810. and has prepared, to present to Mr. Cleveland, aouio figures which ho thinks are significant and startling. Ho says but few people know what euormous losses have been sustained by the government in the purchase of silver. Taking tho treasury statement for December as a basis. Mr. Harter said, "At the present market value of silver, which is lictitious. or on stilts due to our monthly purchases of worthless trash for which there is no legitimate market anywhere at current prices, the loss will not ba less upon the coined dollars and silver bullion in the treasury, as valued in the statement referred to, than S 160.000.( 00. Ueyond . a reasonable doubt 50 cents an ounce would be large price for silver bullion on a business basis to-day, and this won Ul mean $13n,000,000 more. Hut we must hold this silver." Mr. Harter continued, in trust against the notes issued for its purchase, and we iuay havo to do this down to a doint where 80 cents per ounce will be a high tigure lor it, there being scores of mines that can produce it for less. When this time ccies our losses, even if we stop buying to-morrow, will swell up to not far lrom S40O.00O.CO0. Altogether, this silver speculation and misuse of the publio credit since 1878 has been the most monumentui financial blunder in human history." Want the Cnllom Illll Enacted. Washington, Jan. 6. Chauncey M. Dopew, as president of the Now York Central, appeared before the House commerce committeo to-day and lorcibly presented reasons why, in his judgment. Congress shonld pass tho Cullom bill permitting railroad pooling. Mr. Depew's argument was almost identical with that he made recently before tho Senate interstate-commerce committee. President George B. itoborts, of the Pennsylvania Kailroad Company, and John J. Cowen, counsel for the Biltimore fc Ohio, were also present to, reinforce Mr. Depew's argument. G. it. Blancbard, commissioner of tho Central Tratlio Association, of Chicago, described tho workings of a pool. The committeo then took the matter under advisement. Tammany Will Lead the Prnressioo. Washington, Jan. ft The chairman of tho committee on civio organizations of tho inaugural executivo committee has announced, in a letter to James Martm, of the Tammany Society. New York, that the Tdmraany organization will be accorded the right of line of the civic portion of tho inaugural parade.

President Harrison and the Cabinet today had before them the facts developed by the investigation in the Treasury Department on the question of commerce to and from points in the United States over Canadian road.

BLIZZAED IN YANKEBLASD Severe Snow-Storm Sweeps throngh New England and Strikes New York. Streets of Gotham Blockaded by Drifts of the Eeaatiful-Uales Alone tho CoastQueer Weather in the Northwest. . New York, Jan. C Sovero snow-storms prevailed throughout New England, NewYork and New Jersey to-day. At some points the snow is a foot deep on the level, and twoorthreo in drifts. Not since the heavy fall of snow live years ago has this city experienced ench a blizzard as that which has been blowing here since last night. Traffic on Broadway has been almost suspended, while on some of the less prominent thoroughfares the blockade -is complete, in some places the snow hasdriftcd until it is from four to live feet deep. It, began to grow colder yesterday toward the middle of the afternoon, and the leaden-colored clouds which had been gathering since mbrning assumed a threatening look. The wind 'was uneasy, and blew in fierce gusts. During the early evening the snow liakes, which had been straggling down all afternoon, began to fall fast and furious. The snow became line as dust as it increased in volume. The wind blew hard, whirling tho dust-like snow tbroutrh the streets until one could scarcely see the electric lamps a block away. Throughout the night the elevated train.s rolled along at half their usual speed, while at times tho surface cam wero blocked several minutes by the rapid forming drifts. A few trucks rolled over tho pavements, making scarcely any noise, while the truck wheels wero circled with broad bands of snow. Signal Service Ollicer Dunn, the man who makes people buy weather strips end goloshes, says that tho snow-storm netted New York eleven inches on the level. Oil the level there were varying numbers of feet, and it was mostly oil the level. The snow-fall was heaviest right here in New York city, but there was enough to cool pans of tally all along tho lino from the lower lake region an far south as Philadelphia. This morning the storm center was oil' the coast of Long island, and after blowing away all the remaining cholera germs from the neighborhood of Fire island, it went to sea. It is now a considerable distance out in the oceau, right in tho track of the northern passenger steamers, blowing sixty miles an hour. To-night the weather in tho city is clear and cold with little wind blowing. The lierco snow and wind storm along the entire New Jersey coast has wrought terrible damago to property. A heavy 6ea has been raging all day yesterday and today. The Shrewsbury-Hotel at Seabright is being undermined. Tho street is being washed av ay by tho ragiug sea and has caused the stopping of trains running to Highlands. The bulkheads and blult' at that place are also going to pieces. At Long Branch the famous iron pier is a wreck. The high sea carried oil' a greater portion ot tho structure. Tho entire blult on Cheleea avenue is gone; not a singlo foot of blufV at that point remain to tell the story. Tho bulkheads and other portions of the bluil'nre greatly damaged. At Far Bockaway. L. I., high tides have almost overwhelmed Hog island, as tho outer beach oil that place is known. Frank's pavilion, a large frame structure, and Gipson's bathing-houses were washed out to sea. and other building were damaged. At Highland Light. Muss., the wind at daylight reached a velocity of if tv-livo miles per hour. The sea thunders against tho clills the entire length of the coat. Eighteen inches of snow has fallen on the level in the towns of Northridgo, ltridgo and Millville, being the heaviest fall since tho blizzardof PftS. Railway travel on the Consolidated and tho Now England railroads was delayod. Tito Kind of Weather. St. Paui, Jan. ft Minnesota and tho Dakotas broke the record, to-day, in the matter of weathor. In Minnesota it was snowing and blowing at finch a rate that traCIo was seriously . retarded, and the temperature ran down to zero. South Dakota had the hardest rain it has had inmany months, it poured so hard during the afternoou that a foot of snow almost entirely vanished. The weather was as warm as in April, and the roads became almost impnss. able at Chamberlain on account of the mud. The weather is just at the freezing point in North Dakota, and it is thawing in Montana. Snow-Storm in Michigan. Dktroit, Jan. ft Dispatches from Benton Harbor. St. Joseph, Holland and Sonth Haven, on the eastern coast of Lake Michigan, and at Escanaba and Decatur, Micb., indicate that one of the heaviest snowstorms in years has been raging since early yesterday morning.

WILL Ml FIGHT TAMMANY

Mr. Croker Thinks Cleveland Will Sot Be Uostilo to Men Who Elected Him. Murphy Will Not Oppose tho Tresldcnt-Elect if He Is Sent to the Senate The PeadLcck in, the Nebraska Senate Broken. CLEVELAND AND TOE TIGER. Croker Does Xot Think the rrestdent-EIect Will Starve the Ilungry Tammany llentt. New York, Jan. a Sincr. Mr. Cleveland's ntteranco relative to Edward Murphy's candidacy for the United States senatorship, Kichard Croker has been asked a dozen times a day if ho thought it would array the President-elect and his policy against Tammany Hall. Mr. Croker has steadily declined to answer this Question. To-day he spoke abont it for the first time. Ho was asked: 'Do yoa think, Mr. Croker, that if Mr. Murphy is elected Senator Mr. Cleveland, in return for it. will tako up a position hostile to Tammany Hall!" Mr. Croker hesitated for a moment, and then said ho did not think that Mr. Cleveland would do so. Ho spoke slowly. 'No," he said,' "our friendship for Mr. Murphy vrili not make Mr. Cleveland hostile to the regular Democracy of the State. Mr. Cleveland is, I think, a man of too broad ideas, a man of too high ideas of political justice, to allow himself to take snch a step. That is my first reason for thinking so. My second reason is as cogent. Tammany Hall went to Chicago opnosed to Mr. Cleveland. We fought every inch of the grouud until he was nominated. Then we camo out in his support and stood by him to a man until he was elected. Now Mr. Cleveland is opposed to us in the person of our candidatefor Senator, Mr. Murphy, Tho wishes of the regular Democracy will be respected by tho Assserubly and Mr. Murphy will be eleoted. Mr Cleveland is not the aort of a man to turn on us hecau.se our candidate is elected. Common gratitude would be enough, for we did not turn on hiui when he was victorious." In another interview published this mornmg'Mr. Croker said that if Mr. Murphy is elected to the United States Senato he will do all in his power to assist Mr. Cleveland. The now famous dinner at the Victoria :s referred to in the talk. It was reported that the friends of the Troy statesman had said that a true account of tho a Hair would amply justify Mr. Murphy's candidacy for the Senate and show Mr. Cleveland to be inconsistent. Mr. CrokcrVwas asked in the course of tho interviow if it were true that the iriends of Murphy had concluded to make publio their version of what had been said at tho noted Cleveland dinuer at tbo Victoria, which Messrs. Crofcer, Sheehan and Murphy attended during tho campaian. "No," said Mr. Croker in answer to the question, "I do not think anything said at that dinner will bo made publio by any of those who were present. Certainly none of these men present would sek to drag it into a publio discussiou. The dinner was private, and tho publicity of which fact that it was given, received, was to show tho country that tho Democratic party of the State was harmonious, and intended to give Mr. Cleveland loyal and hearty support. "Now," went on Mr. Croker, "there is much misunderstood about the senatorial contest. There is no opposition to Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Murphy's candidaoy is not opposition to him. Mr. Morphv, as Senator, will not opposo Mr. Cleveland, and if Mr. Cleveland knew Mr. Murpny as well as 1 know him, he would know that Mr. Murphy will make an a bio Senator, and will become a great supporter and assistant of the executivo. Mr. Murphy may not be a great speaker, but ho possesses admirable qualifications for tho position of Senator, and if he is elected I do not think Mr. Cleveland will have any reason to regret it." NEBRASKA DEAD-LOCK UK O KEN. Republican and Democratic Senators ,Eh?G.t , a IVrsIdrntlVo Tern.' ; ; 7 , recial to the Ind:anapolU Journal. Lincoln, Neb., Jan. CThe Democrats in the House combined with tho Populists and elected tho House officers. To-day the Senate dead-lock was broken by three Democrats voting with the Kepublioan candidate for Presidont pro tern., thus electing him. ThoSenato adjourned nntil Tuesday, thus delaying the inauguration of the State otlicers-eloct, and postponing the election of a United States Senator. The Democrats and Republicans will put in their time during recess making an equitable division of the Senato oillces. The House also adjourned nntil next Tuesday. On Thursday the two houses will meet in joint session, and begin the great battle of electing a Senator to succeed Senator l'addock. There is no lak of senatorial timber. The Democratic candidates are Congressman Pryan and J.Sterling Morton. The Fopulist candidates are: Congressman McKeigbau, ex-Senator Van Wyck and Joseph Kdgerton. Of tbo He. publican candidates Paddock leads; then comes Governor-elect Crounze. Lieutenantgovernor Major. Church Howe. John C. Wilson. It. K. Moore and a small army of lesser lights. It is said that tho Majors boom is an adjunct of the Crounze boom, as Majors would become Governor if ! Cronuze should be elected. The Republic ans lack eiuht votes of a majority on joint ballot, the Democrats holding the balance of power. It is not improbable that Governor Crounze will be called upon to appoiut a Senator, in which case the Assembly of 1S05 will have to eleot two Senators. Gathering of the Kansas Clans. ' ' bppclal to th Indianapolis Journal. Topkka, Kan., Jan. C All butiahout a dozen members and Senators have arrived, ready for the opening of tho Legislature Tuesday. Chairman Breidonthal, of the Populist committee, is positive that the Populists wjll organize the House. He declines to state how it r.oald bo dono with a majority against them, except that he expected enough Republican votes to win the tight. The Republicans have beeu fearful of this as two of their members are stopping at Populist headquarters aud are likely to vote with the Populists on organization. A caucus of Republicans was held to-day. It was agreed to submit to the Representatives of the People's party and Democrats a proposition looking to a peaceful and orderly organization of tho llouso on Monday. They suggest that all persons, except members and State othcers and members of the press be excluded until the work in completed. Thin would preclude any possibility of the Houpe being packed by members of any particular party and intefering with the organization in a peaceable way. The Montana Contest. H plena, Mont, Jan. C Poth houses pf tho Legislature have adjourned till Monday. The most important business dono thin morning was tho appointment of a committee on elections by the House to consider the Choteau county contest. This committee consists of two Republicans, two Democrats and one Populist, Beecher, who is chairman. Beecher has heretofore acted with the Democrats. The committee is expected to report' Monday, when, no doubt, there will be a light over their decision. Shonld they seat Hamilton, it would dive the Democrats control of ooth houses without the assistance of Populists. White Nominated for Sfnntnr. S ackamkxto, Cal., Jan. C Tho Democratic caucus has nominated Stephen M. White, of Los Angeles, for Senator, and tho senatorial situation resolves itself into this: Democrats lack two votes of a majority. They will get them from either Burke, non-partisan, and Carlson, mdejiendent. or from Adams and Bennett. Populifrt. A Democratic Senator will certainly be elected, 'lho Legislature has adjourned till Monday. favor IteuhmlIon. Sioux Falls, S. D., Jan.

On divorce nine Senators and eighteen Representatives declare for some modification of the divorce law, most of them desiring a lengthening of term of residence to six months, while twelve Senators aud twenty-four Representatives oppose the change.

The lower house of the Missouri Legislature indorsed Gov. D. R. Francis for a place in Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet, after conaiderablo discussion, by a vote of 124 to 4. Some of the Republican leaders of Nebraska are dissatisfied over the appointment by the Preeident of H. M. Bushnell to visit Panama in the interest of the national quarantine. Mr. Bushnell is one of the editor of the Daily Call, a paper printed at Lincoln. He was a warm personal friend of Minister Egan. and throush the latter's influence obtained tho appointment. IT WAS A MAMCI0US HOAX. Investigation Shows that the Bakersvillo Riot Story Was Untrue. Washington, Jan. 7. The circumstantial story of the Bakersvillo lynching and riot transmitted from Johnson City, Tenn., signed 4,J. W. Hy.ams." immediately attracted attention by its apparent exaggeration, and telegrams were sent both to the author of the original dispatch and to adjacent points in the South to secure a verification. Mr. Hyarus responded to inquiries by furnishing names and other details which seemed to confirm tho statements made, but replied to requests for further authentication by statements that tho roads to Bakersvillo were blocked and impassable.

Marquis De Mores Denounces French, He brews and Creates an Uproar. Paris. Jan. C A great anti-Semitic meet ing was held at the Tivoli Vaux Hall this evening uuder tho supervision of the Libre Parole group. The hall was packed and the first two papers were read apparently 'with enthusiastic approval. Tbo principal speaker of the evening was tho Marquis Do Mores, who took the platform at 0:SO o'clock. He began his address with a general onslaught on the Jew as the corrupters of French honesty and the haters of French honor. A tremendous uproar greeted these assertions, and about litty men started xorwara to aispuie with the Marquis his place A m a A. a a A. on the piattorm. az tne steps to the platform they met some thirty partisans of the Lihre Parole group, who showed fight. Police Commissary Vernon announced that unless the disorder ceased he must dissolve the meeting, and a short lull followed. The Marquis De Mores expounded at some length his ideas on socialism and strikes, and then suddenly returned to the subject of the Jews, with the declaratiou that wero it not for them, and other capitalists like them, tbo social question would be solved easily. The Jews, he said, had brought about tho state of a Hairs which was culminating in tho PananA scandal. They rejoiced in snch ruin of French reputations. About three hundred persons rose, groaning and hissing, as the Marquis De Mores reached this climax. A lighted cigar was thrown from the gallery while the Marquis was speaking. It was mistaken for a bomb and produced a partial panic Then a determined ellort was niado to storm the platform packed with reporters, whoso position becamo exceedingly critical. Iron chairs and tables were thrown about. Tho Marquis Do Mores and his little band of adherents wero obliged to staud their grouuM. as there was no rear exit, and there was a tern bio struggle. Many nasty wounds were inllicted. De Mores and his party fought their way to tho lloor, whero a bitched battle was fought between police and the factions of tho audience. Many wore removed unconscions from tho hall, and numerous arrests wore made. Serious developments were averted only by the moderation of the police. Tho Paris correspondent of the London Standard says that a cartridge live inches long and two inches in diameter, with a lighted fuse attached to it, was thrown Into the audience at the anti-Semitic meeting. The cartridge was carried out by a policeman, and the police are now trying to give tbo impression that the cartridge was made of india rubber. YOUNG DE tEftSEl'S SPEAKS. lie Is Reported to liuve Given Startling Information About the Canal hcandal. Pa ins. Jan. C M. Delahaye publishes this morning an important letter, narrating how he received the commission to ex pose tho Panama canal scandal. A cer tain person came to him, he says, with a tac-simile of tho original list of 172. The list was shown to him, howover, upon the condition that be should not reveal the names, but merely take steps to compel the Chamber of Deputies itself to undertake the exposure. M. Delahaye says that subsequent events amply confirmed all the statements of his informant, lie adds that much more remains to be revealed. Several newspapers this morning predict the arrest ot more Deputies and enators next Monday, n It is reported that the proof aeainst M. Baihut, as well as against other important personages whom the government is prosecuting or preparing to prosecute, is due to au understanding ar rived at between the authorities and M. Charles do Lcsseps, whereby the latter, in consideration of giving all the informa tion in his power in relation to beneficiaries of Pauaiua corporation. Is to be treated with great leniency, if not admitted to absolute immunity. The report is that M. Chas. do Leeseps has made an unreserved statement of all the facts within his knowledge, and will do the name on his own trial, and at any separate trials of others conuected with the scandal. M. De Lea se pa's motives are stated to be. not only to secure immunity as much as possible from the penalty of the law, but also to convince tho public that the Panama company was forced by irresistible pressure on the part of otlicials and the press, to chooso between 'wholesale corruption and tho hreatened ruin to the enterprise. It Is aid that tbo acknowledgements mado by M. Do Lesseps are of tho most start ling character, and will create a sensation in America as wen as in France. M. Tiburce Franqneville is conducting the examination of the accused with great skill. He is a native of Picardy, and forty yean. old. He is a man ot thorough educatioa and a splendid Latin scholar and has something of a cynical temperament, which adds to his clhoiency as an examining magistrate. He has been attached to the tribunal of the Seine for about six years. The police were busy between 1 an (J 8. o'clock this morning destroying incendiary placards posted by Anarchists. These placards called upon the people to rise at once, seize arms, destroy their corrupt op pressors and seize the reins of government. A feeling of alarm was apparent through out tho city last evening, and is likely to increase in consequence of the prophecies of the press that tho worst developments are to come. General Saussier. military governor of the city. has taken every possible precaution. Tho city would bo safe were it not for tho gen eral conviotion that the government Is playing fast and loose lu the Panama matter. The laxity of tho government's con duct of tho prosecution is the subject of universal comment. vj War on 44IJ;ack-I.e, Miners. Berlin, Jan. 7.
