Washington Sever Had More Xeed of Tto Senator Than IVotr. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. Considerable pressure is being brought by the Republican leaders here to havo a special session of the Legislature in Washington State called for the purpose of electing a United States Senator to fill the. existing vacancy. The failure of .the Legislature to select a successor to Senator Allen, whose term expired last March, and the refusal of the Senate to Beat the Senators appointed from that State and Montana and Wyoming, selected by the Governors, is operating many injustices upon that thriving and hopeful Pacific State. The Wilson tariff bill strikes a deadly blow at the State of Washington. The action of the measure upon coal, lead, lumber and hops, four of the principal products of that State, makes the measure now before Congress of the greatest possible Importance to Washington. That there should exist a vacancy in her senatorial seat when a measure of this importance Is pending and the Democratic majority so narrow in the upper branch of Congress is most unfortunate. If there was a large Democratic majority in the Senate, or the Democrats stood solidly In line upon the tariff question, the situation would be different. There would be no special necessity for filling the vacant seat. Hut the Democratic majority is small and the party in the Senate woefully divided. It is not only feasible to contemplate the ultimate defeat of the Wilson tariff bill in the Sonate, but it is entirely practicable for the Republicans to enter upon a campaign of amendements which will result in material modifications of the measure. It Is rare that situations arise which will .warrant a Governor in calling a special session of the legislature for the election of a United States Senator. But it is believed that the present conditions not only warrant, but demand, that the Governor of Washington shall convene the Legislature In special session to fill her vacant Beat in the Senate: and if the Governor fail3 to perform this duty Republican leaders in Congress say he will live to regret the oversight The Wilson tariff bill, if in law, would do more to Impede the progress of the State of Washington than all of the other injurious partisan leglnlatlon which the newly-elected Senator would have a.i opportunity to participate in. Aside from the tariff bill, there are many measures which Jeopardize the development of new States that are Boon to be passed upon. The vacancies in the seats belonging to Montana and Wyoming are not operating so injuriously to those States, however, as the one belonging to Washington. The Wilson tariff bill and the other measures now before Congress do not strike the sledge-hammer blows at those States as they do at the State of Washington. The latter Commonwealth has reached an era of development whero it cannot stop or take a step backward without losing its place in the commercial world and. Its credit in financial circles, which is everything. It is probable that Washington's Governor will be formally requested by the Republican leaders in the Senate, and possibly the officers of the Republican national committee, to call a special session of the Legislature for the election of a Senator if he cVes not upon his own motion indicate that he intends to act in that direction. PER CAPITA CIHCl'LATIO. France Has the Highest ($30.81) and China the Lowest ($l.SO.) WASHINGTON.

Jan. 4.-Secretary Morton expressed surprise to-day at what he regards as a misrepresentation of his position in regard to the agricultural experiment stations appropriation and of his action In omitting that branch of the service from the estimates of department expenditures for the fiscal year. "As a matter of fact," said the Secretary, "I have taken the samo course in this respect as was adopted by my predecessor. General Rusk. I have taken pains. In a statement Included In my annual report, to deduct $720,000, the amount omitted for experiment stations, from the total decrease In the estimates with the explanation that It isa sum Improperly included In the department appropriation and to claim credit only for the net decrease of nearly $U69,t0.91. The fact is plain that no suggestion for the abolition of the State stations was suggested bv me. The Inclusion in my estimate of $2.Vm for the otllce of experiment Stations indicates that I do not expect the work of that division to cea.s although it is well understood that it is maintained as the connecting link between the department and the State stations, and for the special benefit of the latter. It i3 obviou that I would not have wasted words In my report urging the necessity for a more satisfactory and cleare r definition of the regulations of the stations to the department, and vice versa, had my object been merely to extinguish them altogether. I am afraid that the misapprehension existing in the tslnda of many people la very largely due
to some misrepresentations on the part of a few who ought to think some before they talk." State Dinner at the AVIiite House. WASHINGTON. Jan. 4.

CHATTER OF SPORTS
Another Scheme for Outwitting the Governor of Florida. It Is 'Sw Proposed to Go to the CorbettMitchell Battle Ground on a Special Train. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Jan. X The "touts" in this city say the Duval Athletic; Club cannot be beaten, and Judging from the rumors that are floating around town tonight it now looks as though Manager Bowden and the other officials would go to almost any length to defeat Governor Mitchell's opposition. According to the stories that have gained credence among the sporting men, and which seem to come from good authority, arrangements have been perfected whereby the fight can be pulled off in the face of any opposition, though at the expense of many who are anxious to see it. It is a new plan entirely, and the work which is now being pushed at the arena, it is said, is only meant to bluff the Governor. Tickets are still being sold for admission to the big ring, which undoubtedly will be completed whether or not the club can successfully carry out its end of the agreement right in that spot. By continuing the work the club hopes to convince Governor Mitchell that the fight will take place in the arena which it is now preparing. According to the new plan, however, the Intention at present is quite the contrary, provided the opposition of the authorities remains as strong. The new arrangements include the chaptering of a train, whicn, it is . understood, will be placed at the disposal of the club forty -eight hours previous to the fight, and the same length of time after the contest has been scheduled to begin. The spec-, tators will be given the "tip" and hurried en to the train, which will carry them to the battle ground, leaving the Governor, militia and the rest of the opposition forces, it is hoped, far behind. According to this view of the case, it is certainly believed, if the courts sustain the holding of the fight, that the Governor will adopt some heroic measures in order to protect ar.il show Ids personal jurisdiction in the matter. Manager Bowden was asked torlfht in regard to the truth of these rumors. He said: "Not a word of truth in them. If anything of the kind was being thought of, I should know all about It." Some of the stories which have been go- ' Ing around to-day conveyed the Idea that the club intended to put money on Corbett Manager Bowden, in that connection, said: "I have heard of it, but it is all false." He further stated that the line of action had not yet been fully decided on. In a few days, he thought, the club would be prepared to make it public Whatever was decided on, he declared, would be within the limit of the law, and he emphasized the fact that the fight would certainly come off. Manager Bowden has written to Governor Mitchell In regard to the club's position in the matter. As yet, he has received no answer. He thinks, however, from indications . so far, that there is really nothing very serious in the Governor's position. Charley Mitchell has another grievance. He says he does not want to spread It, but cannot forbear making public his dissatisfaction at the manner In which he alleges Corbett signed the articles. He claims that Corbett signed last night through his manager, "Billy" Brady, and declares that he will not abide by the articles unless the American champion signs them himself. Mitchell is mistaken, for Corbett last night signed the articles personally, Brady having nothing to do with it. Yokes Knocked Ont. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 4. The SlusherVOk'es fight was successfully pulled off at Riverside Park, a well-known resort near this "city, to-night, under the auspices of the Kentucky Athletic Club. Col. Ike English, of Cincinnati, was behind Slusher and Danny Needham, the well-known welter-weight, acted in the same capacity for Vokes. Vokes weighed in at 134 pounds ind ' Slusher hit the beam at the same weight. Ellsha Kelly, a well-known newspaper man ; of this city, was the referee. Fred Pfeffer, ; the well-known ball player, was time-keep- 1 er. Slusher was the favorite in the be'ttlng and won the fight. Time was called at 11 o'clock. Five-ounce gloves were used. Marquis of Queensbury rules. The fight lasted two hours, and was a pretty even one, Vokes doing most of the , leading. In the twenty-ninth round Vokes had decidedly the beat of It. A swinging right-hander In the thirtieth, by Slusher, knocked Vokes under the ropes, and his head struck the floor with such force that he did not recover consciousness until after time was up. NEW LABOR ORGANIZATION, It Is Secret nnd Welcomes All Loyal Americans. LANSING, Mich., Jan. 4.

A largely attended meeting of Cincinnati's unemployed was dispersed to-day by the police. The finance committee for the forthcoming ball was charged with reserving ten 12 50 tickets for their services, the chairman of the committee selling the tickets end losing the proceeds at gambling.

Some Keclpcs. Orange Pudding Six oranges peeled, pits removed, cut fine, and one cup of sugar poured over them. Scald one pint of milk In a double boiler or pail set in hot water, cook in it the yelks of three eggs, beaten well with one tablespoonful of corn starch, stirring the same way all the time until it thickens. Let cool, pour over the oranges, whip the whites of eggs stiff, beat in tree tablejpoonfuls of sugar, spread over the custard, and serve. A dainty way to serve orange pudding i3 to fill shallow custard glasses or cups; put in each its proportionate share of orange and sugar, then custard and m?ringue. Bits of orange jelly n;r.v bs scattered over the top. Gingerbread A loaf of gingerbread is good enough to make one quite indifferent to the fact that it is by no means an economy. To make it, work a cupful of butter until creamy, then mix with it a cupful of brown sugar. Separate the whites and yolks of four eggs, and beat both until light, frothing the whites. Stir the eggs with the butter and sugar, and add a cupful of sour creim, mixed with a cupful of molasses; before putting the molasses and cream together, add to the cream two teaspoonful of soda dissolved in a little warm water. Measure four cupfuls of flour nnd mix wKh it a teaspoonful of salt and a teaspoonful of yellow ginger. Add this to the batter. Do all the mixing as quickly end lightly as possible. Bake thirty minutes with a modrate heat. 'Md Virinla Io,u?hnuts Only at holiday times would one require the whole of tfcla
receipt, although they are very good and will keep at least if securely locked up. Melt half a pound of butter in a quart of new milk that has been brought to the boiling point; beat three eggs until very light and mix them with two pounds of sugar, stirring this also into the butter and milk; when nearly cold stir in a cupful of yeast or two cakes of compressed yeast dissolved in a cupful of lukewarm water, a teaspoonful of salt and flour enough to make a nice batter stiff enough to roll out. Let it stand untU light; add two grated nutmegs and let it stand until light again; roll out, cut in shapes and fry in hot lard. Chicken Fritters Make a batter the same as for griddle cakes, stir into this bits of cold chicken, have ready equal parts of hot lard and butter, and cook the same as anv fritters. The above are really choice, and if once tri-rd. will be tried again. They serve also to use up bits of cold chicken not sufficient, otherwise, for the family meaL - -V . THE BRIDGE DISASTER.
Coronor McCullough Begins an Invesit gation Into the Causes. LOUISVILLE, Jan. 4. The Inquest over the victims of the bridge disaster on Dec 5 was begun by Coroner McCullough this morning. The Coroner delivered Instructions to the Jury, charging them to fully investigate and, if any blame attached to any one, to fix It where it belonged. The case is being carefully watched by attorneys for the Phoenix Bridge Company and the relatives of the dead men who are suing for damages. Nothing of Importance was brought out by to-day's hearing. Several civil engineers were on the stand, but none of them were employed by the bridge company. Mr. Marshall Morris, civil engineer, stated that it was his understanding that the accident had been caused by the concentration of the entire weight of the traveler upon one "bent." Mr. C. L. Cornwell, another civil engineer, said from what he had seen he considered the bridge good and, perhaps, a trifle better than work of that kind generally was. He had not examined it sufficiently, however,' to render expert opinion upon Its condition. He said he thought the span which caused the accident was the largest truss span on this continent. Coroner McCullough stated, this afternoon, that, although he had made a diligent effort to serve subpoenas on the superintendents of the bridge company, he had beer unable to locate any of them.

JUDGE LONG'S PENSION Lochren Orders It to Be Restored Under the New Law. ' lie Will, However, Probably Suspend It Asain After. Giving the Kequired Thirty Days' Notice. WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Commlssloner of Pensions Lochren, this evening, ordered the restoration of the former pension rating of Judge Charles Long, of Michigan. This puts an end. for the present, to the proceedings which Judge Long had instituted in the District court to compel the Commissioner to return his former rating of J72 a month, which had been suspended pending medical examination. Judge Long was originally pensioned at JS a month. This was gradually increased until 1SS0, when he was granted, by Commissioner Tanner, $72 a month, under the law pensioning those so disabled as to require the regular attendance of another person. Under Corporal Tanner's administration it was finally settled that a person who could not attend to all his wants on account of his Injuries, and who needed almost continual aid, came within the provisions of that law. Judge Long's pension was held to be embraced in these provisions. Beside the loss of one arm. he had a hip gunshot wound which is still open and requires attendance. Commissioner Lochren, however, held that this case wpjs provided for In the subsequent act of July li, 1S89, concerning disabilities that requiro frequent and periodical, though not regular and constant at tendance. Under this act It was decided he was entitled to not more than $50 a month. Ills pension was accordingly suspended, and he was ordered to appear for examination before a medical board. He failed to comply with the notice, and brought suit for mandamus to compel the return to his former rating. The act of Dec. 21, prohibiting suspension of pensions without thirty days' notice, was passed, however, while decision In the case was pending. CommiislDner Lochren this evenuisr characterized the act which makes the restoration nectary as very inconsiderate, unwise and vicious. "It encourage3 fraud and perjury," he said. "Hereafter, in every crooked case, thirty days notice prior to susi cr s. n must be given. Undtr thi old law, M.spersion would take place pend ing investigation, and very often large Buns of nomy have been saved i) the government in this way. Now we ae utterly powerless and must remain with our hands tied." 'the requited notice will be given Judge Long, and at the end o.' the th'rty days the i?n cn will undoubtedly again to suspended. The cyse olfTers from most of the othirs i Mid .fe, because with iho-t previous notice had alm-jst invariably been given. AMUSEMENTS. EncltNh's "Josephine.". The heart strings of a select audience were kept at a high tension by Rhea's personation of Josephine, Empress of the French, at English's last night. This earnest actress has all the natural qualifications of voice and figure to give the beautiful and adored Josephine as conceived by the author of the play, Albert Hayden, the proper delineation. She impresses her audience as being in such Intimate relation with the character that, for the time being, she lives over again the life of a woman who was cast off by Napoleon to satisfy his inordinate ambition. That she believed heart and soul In the great Bonaparte and was willing to sacrifice her love, wifehood and everything that he might take a new consort to perpetute the name of Napoleon cannot bo doubted for a moment after beholding Rhea's sympathetic acting. The intense interest in the fate of Josephine Is second only to that In the fortunes of tho mysterious Emperor who swayed France as none before and, perhaps, as none ever will. W. S. Hart, with a magnetic, commanding voice and with the mannerisms so successfully adopted by William Harris, the originator of the thrilling part, makes a Napoleon that commands the closest Interest from the moment he appears until the curtain falls on the furious return from .Elba. He cannot look the part, as Harris did, but he plays it grandly. He does not open his mouth to speak but the audience bends forward to catch the syllables, as If it wer really and truly the great Napoleon talking. John Fay Palmer as Talleyrand Is a disappointment. When he exclaimtt "By jove, a kingly answer," one is reminded of a monocled Englishman, complimenting a clever retort by the comedian, lie neither looks nor acts the cunning, polished, unscrupulously ambitious Talleyrand, apparently failing utterly to conceive the character of the intriguing and limping minister who became Prince Benvenuto and whom Napoleon styles the "cleverest man in Europe in matters of diplomacy." Benson H. Pierce was admirable in his anger as Murat, who cast his sword at. the feet of the Emperor in the divorce scene. Mls3 Alice G. McGee fitted the part of Marie Louise in looks and dress. The rest of the supporting company is ample and capable to give the stirring drama a rendition instructive as well as Interesting. Rhea's costume as the Empress is a gorgeous dress with its impressive royal train, and greatly heightens the dignity of that noble woman's character. "Josephine" will be repeated to-night. Tomorrow matinee and evening will be given "The Queen of Sheba." Rhea's Xevr Play. Saturday matinee and evening Rhea will appear for the first time here in her new play, "The Queen of Sheba," which has caused much comment in other cities. The plot and dialogue of "The Queen of Sheba" are by Adrien Larbusse. a dramatist of excellent reputation In France and a learned Oriental scholar besides. The translation is by J. L. Knubley, a Paris correspondent for the New York Herald and the London Times. The music is by Oscar Comettant, the director of a school of music in Paris and also the musical editor of "Le Siecle." The star wears some gorgeous gowns in the play, which affords her excellent opportunities to display her powers. The Xew lfoyt Comedy. The presentation of. a new comedy by Charles II. Hoyt is an event in which all theater goers are Interested. "A Milk-white Flag." his latest work, will be seen for the first time here at the Grand the first part of next week. It is the most pretentious thing Hoyt has yet done, and, from all accounts, the best.

Isabelle Coe is the leading actress in the cast, which Includes a number of well-known people. The sale of seats is now in progress. Hone Hill Company Enjoined. Jame3 E. Fennessy, manager of the Peoples Theater at Cincinnati and the Empire of this city, has secured an Injunction preventing the Rose Hill company, now at the Empire, from playing at the Fountain Theater at Cincinnati next week.
