AN ARMY OF TBAMPS

The National Capital Overrun with Products of Democracj. It 13 Now the 3Iecca of the "Unemployed from All Sections Congressman Houck'a Funeral. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Feb. 10. Congressmen from every section of the country now in Washington are having a lively foretaste of the work which ccmmitte?s in the vari-' ous cities are doing In the direction of help- -' in the needy. The national capital is overrun. with professional tramps and men who have been honorably stranded here. The corridors of the Capitol fairly swarm with them at times. They send In for the Congressmen representing their home districts, and implore them for financial and other assistance. Several Eastern Representatives have actually been driven out of the city by helples3 constituents. Strangers in going about the city, day or night, are accosted on every block for alms by these men. . , Washington is trying to do her share in helping those who are destitute. The destitution here, however, is largely different from that prevailing In industrial centers of the country. There are few shops here, and no more men and women are out of work from the regular roll of residents than ordinarily. The great Influx of unemployed comes from every section. Why this should be their Mecca no one knows; but here they come, and they are making it a serious matter to men in public life. A . peculiar feature of the distress prevailing in Washington is that it is with white persons almost exclusively. There are about lO,eo0 colored persons In Washington twice as many blacks as whites who work at common labor and yet officers of the charitable associations say that there arc? ten white families and ten white persons who apply fcr assistance to one black. The explanation of this is that the blacks are more economical and willing to work at anything when penniless, while the whites are fastidious, and are unwilling to work unless they get a certain kind of employment and fixed wages. There are no black beggars around the Capitol. Hut the army of white tramps and helpless Individuals Is growing so large in the national capital as to make the situation serious. If they can only impress themselves upon legislation thir presence here will not have been In vain. IICCKIVJ2HS AM) JUDGES. Many Proton Asralnnt Tliclr Conduct I'rono.seil In vcj titrations. WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. There Is a movement In the House to urge upon the judiciary committee an investigation of tho management of railroads under receivers appointed by the federal courts. So many complications have arisen lately as the system of receivership control has spread that the matter has been brought before the committe3 in several of its phases.1 Recently Governor Tillman, of South Car- i cllna. memorialized Congress on the subject, statin? that his troubles with the railroads which run through his State, growing out of the refusals 'of the receivers to pay State taxes, and the absence of legal machinery through, which, he could force them to, as they W2re nominally the agents of the federal courts which appointed th?m, and only through those courts could he have brought action. The TUlmun memorial was very bitter against ti e judges of the United States courts and the Suprcm3 Court Itself, accusing them of partiality toward the rail-' road corporations and against their creditors. Governor Tillman addressed the com-!, mittee on the subject and two bills aro b2-' fore it. , This week the judiciary committee had ' up the McGann resolution for an investigation of the action of Judo's Jenkins in enjoining the employes on the Northern Pacific from a strike. This resolution was the result of a shower of protests and petitions sent to the committee on labor by the labor organizations, and there is no doubt that tha mor? recent order of Judge Dundy against the men of the Union Pacific, coupled with his order for salaries of S1S.0M) to be paid to five receivers of the road, will probably be called to the attention of Congress from the sam'j sourea. Representative 'McGann has not.declued to introduce a second resolution fcr an inquiry into the Dundy case, as he thinks the decision upon the Jenkins case will establish a precedent and, moreover, he is hopeful that action will be taken for an inquiry covering the whole ground of the management of railroads In the hands of receivers, in which event minor investigations will not be necessary. Mr. McGann r,ays that It Is evident that crave abuses are Incident to the system of "friendly" receivers for railroads, lie thinks that Congress should make some definite utterance on the system, and that the powors of United States courts, a3 well as the rights of organized workmen, should be understood. The right of labor to organize, he j;ays, was recognized incidentally by the interstate-commerce act, and ho thinks this right has been infringed upon by Judges Jenkins and Dundy. An Influence which tends to restrain the committee on judiciary from reviewing the actions of the court3 unnecessarily is that the judiciary Is a coordinate branch of the government. Its members hesitate to take any uctlon which might look like Interference by one branch of the government with the functions of another. 31 HATS EATHX IV SA50W, nor', Dojtm, Cnt.s nml Crown Devoured ly Ihe I'ooppr i'lnnnvs. WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. James Smith, ccmmerclal agent at Mayence, has sent to the State Department the following interesting statement of the meat diet of the lower classes in Saxony: "With regard to the diet of the poorer classes of Saxony, it Is noteworthy that, according to official publications now at hand, 4,277 horses were slaughtered in Saxony last year, being 3j2 more than In 191. Of dogs, according to ollicial statements, there were 422 butchered. Thereby, however, is apparently meant only the number of those killed in sslaughter houses, for the number of dogs actually slaughtered must be considerably larger, when there is such a comparatively large consumption of dog iitsh by the jtoorer classes of the people. Even cat llesh is not disdained by many persons, and badgers, foxes, sparrows and crows are eaten." I.V 31 EM O It V OF Mil. IIOUCIC.

U.-A delicate and dilucult work was performed at the gunshop of the navy yard here to-day. It conyisted in fitting the jacket to the tube of one of the new thirteendnch guns for the nav. The operation was entirely successful. Shortly after 2 o'clock the jacket, weighing 37.6S5 pounds, was lifted by the 110-ton crane from the pit In which It had b'--en heating for the past two days, and with but little delay was shifted to a position directly over the tube. It was then let down over it very slowly, v.hlie workmen stood by and turned the jacket front side to side to prevent it sticking. Everytnwig went orf without a hi toll. Eleven of the twelve thirteoa-lnch guns that are to be iaade have now been jacketed and are gradually nearing completion. They are for the ships Indiana, Massachusetts and Oregon. A large number of oiuci.ils wit-re.--.-wed the day's work, including members of Congress, oilicers of the navy and a detachment of the naval cadets at Anna;olis, who were ordered here to witness to-day's oi eratioiiL. Thv hydraulic mount for the thsrteea-lrich truns was also given a trial I at the gun-phop to-day and, apparently, ' worked satisfactorily. An earlv trii of one

A Spoilsman Checked In His Work. WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. The alleged attempts at partisan discrimination in the San Francisco custom house have received an official set-back. Complaints were recently filed at the Civil-service Commission charging Collector of Port Wise with removing Republican employes at the end of their probationary terms and subsequently filling vacancies bv Democratic appointments. An investigation was made by the department, and it was decided that the changes were made for partisan reasons. The Treasury Department was requested to reverse the collector's action.

MADRID, Feb. lO.-The Cabinet to-day discussed for hours special dispatches received from Gen. Martinez Campos, in relation to his mission to the Sultan of Morocco. It Is said that these dispatches state that the Sultan, while dilatory, accepts the principle of Spain's demands, though he quibbles over some of the details.

Little Opposition to the Arrangement Since the Kaiser's Speech and Bismarck's Indorsement. (Copyrighted, 1894, by the Associated Press.) BERLIN, Feb. 10. The threatened agrarian opposition to the Russo-German commercial treaty Is rapidly collapsing. The Emperor's speech at the recent parliamentary banquet and the fears of a dissolution which would probably result in a virtual annihilation of the Conservative party waa not alone in serving to destroy the artificial agrarian agitation, which waa really aimed at the deposition of Chancellor Von Caprivl. As time elapsed It waa found opportune to get Prince Bismarck's views on the subject, and the Hamburger Nachrlchten accordingly exhibits a sudden change of view and, probably in anticipation of the Emperor's approaching visit to Freidrichsruhe, takes a more conciliatory tone, drawing a cautious distinction between the attacks on the Chancellor and on the government, and declaring that the Russian treaty i3 necessary In consequence of the treaties with Austria and Italy. Continuing, the Hamburger Nachrichten says that It fears a rupture between the great manufacturing and agricultural classes and advises the government to do Its utmost to prevent such a calamity. Count Von Eulenburg, the Prussian Premier, has been using his influence on behalf of the treaty with the leading Conservatives and has already met with much success. In addition the Imperialists were won over by their organ, the Post, warmly advocating the acceptance of the treaty. The meeting of the Berlin Merchants Association, last night, was well attended and the adherents of the treaty were In the immense majority. The agrarian learue has convened a meeting for Feb. 17, in one of the largest halls of Berlin, capable of accommodating five thousand Independents. Reporters will be excluded from this meeting. In addition, a counter movement to the merchants' demonstration has been fixed for Feb. 19. and, in the meanwhile, meetings will be held throughout the country for and against the treaty. Nearly all the chambers of commerce will hold meetings in its support. The first indication of the strength of the respective sides will be shown In Parliament in a vote on a precedence motion, submitted by the agrarian league demanding a sliding scale and additional duties against countries with depreciated currency. This would chiefly afi'ect Austria and Russia. The new treaty benefits but little the German cotton industry, because any concession granted in this direction would have to be extended to RncMsh manufacturers also. , Chancellor Von Caprivi's standing has wonderfully changed. Even those who did not admire him now judge him as a wise statesman who, in the matter of the treaties went cautiously, step by step, retaining the duty on grain as a means to force Rus?ia Into the treaty. Now that the work is finished and Russia's concessions greatly exceed expectations, the treaty policy, as a whole, appears to have been carried out with foresight and skill. The text of the Russo-German commercial treaty, which has been signed by both countries, waa published this afternoon. There are twentyone clauses. It is drawn up in French and provides for the most favored nation treatment, and protects the subjects of either contracting party engapred in commerce or trade against the confiscations of their property by judicial or administrative authorities. Mutual intercourse is not hampered by any prohibitions against the import or exDort of merchandise, except in the case or a siaie iraui.it- m muiR-j-unra, or in the case of sanitary measures. Vessels of both powers, with certain restrictions will receive equal treatment. The treaty is to last for ten years, after which p Is possible to terminate it after a year's notice on either side. The new bill for the abolition of certificates of origin provides that merchants, on exporting wheat, rye, oats, barley or malt, shall receive a warrant entitling them to import, duty free, the same kind of cereals, in good condition, within six months. ... . Postmaster Stephan, replying to a demand in Parliament for a cheaper local postal rates, declared that It would entail too large a reduction of the revenues, and Intimated that the amount which the revenues would lose by such a reduction would possibly reach 5,000,000 marks.

Feb. lO.-In the Bcnacum trial to-day the defense moved the dismissal of the case on the following grounds: That there is no evidence to prove that the alleged libel was ever published in Lancaster county; that there is no evidence to prove that the word "suspended" is libelous; that the ecclesiastical law Introduced by the State shows that the Bishop had authority to suspend Father Corbett, and that the said article and its publication was privileged. The court sustained the motion and dismissed the case. In his decision Judge Spencer said: "I did not admit the trial before this court with the intention of interfering with the lav of the Catholic Church. As I understand IL the laws cf Nebraska mean a man to hav redress for wrongs, no matter b whem inflicted, if he proves he has been treated contrary to the laws which govern his church. In the case before the court I llnd in the evidence introduced by the State that the Bishop has the power to suspend a priest, and he actel in accordance with the rieht invested in him in suspending Father Corbett, and thu eviltnce adduced by the State does not show that the Bishop sent the letter with malicious intent. Hence I dismiss the case." CHICAGO UNIVERSITY'S GAIN. Professor Barnard, the Fanions Astronomer, to Join Harper's Faculty. CHICAGO, Feb. 10.

GLARING AT EACH OTHER. Little Needed to Start a Rnte War Aiming Wrntcrn Honda. CHICAGO, Feb, 10. The Western passenger situation is still in an exceedingly critical shape, and very little is needed to provoke a disastrous rate war. The Western Passenger Association lines have decided positively that they will not grant the demands of the Union Pacific relative to the emigrant business. They pronounce them unreasonable, and say the Union Pacific is endeavoring to" dictate to them how they shall manage their own business. The Atchison road, which has acted in a very conservative manner, is quietly getting- ready for a fight, and once it actually begins to make trouble there will be music in tha air. A flve-dollar rate from the Missouri river to the Pacific coast is possible, and the prediction is openly made that if the war begins there will be receivers for other lines than the Atchison before peace comes again.
