made will be acceptable to the Republican Senator They have had considerable difficulty In finding a suitable and acceptable chairmanship Tor Senator Shoup, but now have solved the problem by ayslnlns him to the committee on education and labor, of which Senator Kyle, a Populist, Is chairman. This Arrangement will permit the arrangement heretofore made of placing Senator Galllnper at the head of the pensions committee, it is quite definitely settled that Senator Piatt shall heart the committee on patent?, and Senator Burrows that on revision of the laws. The committee will devote the rest of the week to the consideration of the make-up of the bodies of the commute., and hope now to be able to report to the. full caucus by Monday. Considerable work In this, line has already been accomplished, and it mar be stated that the full majority representation on three of the four principal committees has been decided on. This places Senators Davis and Thuriton on Judiciary. Cameron and Lodge on foreign relations and Piatt and YVoLott on fl nance. The younger element of the Republican Senators are now pressing on their colleagues the importance of the organization of the Senate before the Christmas holidays for the effect which, they argue, the prompt action will have on the country. They began their crusade to-day and are of opinion that the caucus committee is sufficiently convinced of the soundness of the argument to hasten matters as much as . possible. Some or the older Senators are inclined to think that this plan would involve unseemly haste and may antagonize the movement.

nAYAIlD MAY UK CGXSI'IIED. If the President Has Taken o Action the Ilonne .liny. WASHINGTON. Dec. li-Accordlng to the opinion of two or three probable members of? the House committee on foreign affairs, tljere is a strong possibility that when the committee comes to consider the ' matter of Embassador IJayard'a two speeches it may recommend the action proposed by Mr. McCairs resolution. That resolution proposed that the House call on the President to inform it what steps if any he has taken to recall or censure Mr. Uayard. The question of impeachment i3 not before the House or the committee in any way, notwithstanding some misapprehension on that point, for when 31 r. Harrett's resolution was disposed of, the words "by impeachment or otherwise," were stricken out, leaving a simple direction to the committe to report to the House what action should be taken in the premises. It Is now conceded by the Republicans that the proposition to impeach was not intended seriously, but was mere- ; ly a parliamentary move to secure debate on the embassador's conduct. Mr. McCall says that it would be -unfair for the House to assume that President Cleveland has not suggested to the embasfador that his speeches were improper, and it would be unfair to Mr. Uayard for the House to censure him if the President has done so already. This view is taken by the prominent committeemen. In case the President should reply that he has not communicated with the embassador, there is some sentiment that the House should censure him. and it is suggested that this might be done either by a separate resolution or in connection with the appropriation of the embas?ador,s salary when the diplomatic appropriation bill comes before the House. In case nothing is done before, Mr. McCall thinks that a move to incorporate a censuring clause in the appropriation bill will be made when that bill comes before the House. While there are no conspicuous precedents for congressional censure of a diplomatic representative, it is raid to be in order for the House, to censure such an official or ask the President to recall him. FIRE OX A WAIl SHIP. One of the Magazines of the Cruiser Cincinnati Flooded. WASHINGTON", Dec. 12. Captain Johnson, commanding the United States steamer Cincinnati, which has been lying off the Florida coast for some time watching filibustering parties, has telegraphed the Navy Department that her coal bunkers caught lire from spontaneous combustion day before yesterday. One of the magazines was flooded, birt the fire was extinguished without causing any damage. It is said at the Navy Department that such incidents are hy no means unusual on war ships, where t soft coal Is stowed in small air-tight bunkers. As the powder is now packed in sealed metallic cases, each containing but one charge for a cun, or in the form of fixed metallic ammunition for the smaller calibres, it would be In nowise Injured by the flooding of the magazine. The fact that the Cincinnati's magazine was flooded does not indicate that the ship was in any particular danger for, under the naval regulation, it "Is the first duryot the'commandlng officer In the case of fire in Ihe neighborhood of the powder to open the valves, which are expressly provided for the admission of water to the magazines, and thus insure the ship against an explosion.

Hill, of Mississippi, was removed to-day by Attor-ney-gerenal Harrnon as the commissioner appointed by the United States Court of Claims to investigate thepvertime claims of letter carriers throughout the country. Hill is the ex-assistant superintendent of the free delivery system of the Postofllce Department, whose peremptory dismissal for "conspiracy" by Postmaster-general Wilson created a sensation last week. The action to-day is the result of the Postmaster-general's letter calling attention to the alleged scheme of Hill and two other clerks to bring the department into disrepute and probably force an investigation, and suggesting that his connection with the Department of Justice cease. Hill held both offices, drawing a $2,m salary as assistant superintendent and a per diem salary and expenses as commissioner. No further official changes growing out of the affair are contemplated.

Salisbury Aniirrr to OIney. WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.-Lord Salisbury's answer to Secretary Olney on the Venezuelan question will not be made public until the return of President Cleveland. It appears that Mr. Cleveland was aware of the nature of the answer before he left, and It is believed he had the entire text by cable from Embassador Bayard. This, however, was a private communication, and was not the formal submission of Great Britain's answer. The latter formality occurred after Mr. Cleveland's departure, so that It Is felt to be a courtesy due the President to await his return and poss'.bly his examination of the original manuscript before giving it to the public. There is no disinclination In London, it is stated, to making the answer public as soon as due proprieties have been observed. Smokeless Powder to Be Tested. NEWPORT, R. L, Dec. 12.

FOSTER INTERVIEWED

OHIO'S E-X-GOVERXOIl TALKS ABOUT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES. lie Says St. Louis Is a Good Place to Aomlnate JIcKInlcy Sherman, Garfield and Con kiln sr. NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Charles Foster, exGovernor of Ohio and ex-Secretary of 'the Treasury, was in the city to-day. To a reporter who addressed him on the subject of politics Mr. Foster said that the selection of St. Louis for the Republican national convention .city was all right. "It is central." he added, "and the hotel accommo dations are ample. Missouri has recently I elected ten Republican Congressmen, and, besides, the State Is debatable. If conventions have any special influence, the selec tion of St. Louis by the committee was eminently proper." The ex-Governor smiled as he added: "St. Louis is a good city in which to nominate McKinley." "Do you think Governor McKinley will be nominated?" he was asked. "The outlook for him is certainly good, and there is no division of sentiment whatever in Ohio in regard to his candidacy and his ability," was the answer. Reference being made to ex-President Harrison, Mr. Foster said: "I do not know whether Mr. Harrison is a candidate or not. In the talks I had with him while he was President I inferred that he had had enough and did not care for it again. He is what General Ciarkson terms a 'receptive' candidate, perhaps, which means that he will take it should it be offered. I suppose any one would receive the nomination, should it be tendered. My Impression, though, is that the ex-Pre3ldent is not a candidate." "Did you see what Senator Sherman said about you in his book?" -was asked. "I have not read the book yet, but my friends have. Sherman acquits me of all collusion in nominating Garfield in 1880, but, reading between the lines, I 'see that It Is more in the nature of forgiveness that anything else. I sat by Garfield in the con ventlon, and day by day he was urged to make an effort to get the nomination himself, but he did nothing. He asked me often what to do and what it meant, and my answer was that we should stand by Sherman. And we did stand by him faithfully. Why, if Mr. Garfield had made any effort whatever to get the nomination it would have hurt him and defeated him. I remember well that Mr. Conkling1 was the hero of his side, and he rather appreciated the applause. When he came in he would tiptoe slowly down the aisle and receive his rourmls of applause in a way that indicated 'great pleasure. After Garfield made his great speech of the convention the Grant opposition began to recognize him as their leader, and they applauded him. But he did not court it, as Mr. Conkling evidently did. He did not have as far as Mr. Conkling to walk, and he camo In hurriedly. Of the two greit speeches made there I liked Garfield's better than Conkling's. But this is a long, long story and I may have something to say at length later," Proposed "American Party. WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. The national council of the patriotic organizations has been in annual session here for the past three days. Delegates from all the prominent patriotic orders were present, representing over three million members. A platform of principles was formulated as follows: Demanding that stringent laws be enacted by Congress to restrict immigration; that no public funds be appropriated for any sectarian purposes, and Indorsing the proposed sixteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States; that no State should grant the right of suffrage to any person not a citizen of the United States: demanding that all property (public property alone excepted) be subject to equal taxation. A committee was appointed to attend the national conventions of the political parties for the purpose of Inducing them to incorporate these principles into their platforms and in the event that none of the political parties recognize these principles, then steps will be taken to form an American party. This national council Is working to secure unity of political action by the membership of all patrotlc orders. The committee appointed to attend the conventions of the political parties is composed of Col. E. II. Sellers, of Detroit; Judge George W. Van -Fossen, Tacoma, Wash.; Stephen Collins. Pittsburg, Pa.: A. V. Winter. Nashville. Tenn.; Francis C. Campbell, Minneapolis, Minn. Pennsylvania 'Republicans. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 12.

GOOD DEMOCRAT GONE (Concluded from First Pne. most heartfelt sorrow at the death of his old friend. "I had hoped," said he, "that he would have recovered from his illness. We were intimate for many years, and I always entertained a most tender regard for him. He was a pure and upricht man. and left a pood impression everywhere.

MRS. LIVEK3I0KE INDIGNANT She Threatens 'to Punish Mrs. Gongar for Allefred False Statements. BOSTON, 'Mass., Dec. 12. The Standard will publish to-morrow a brief history of a difficulty that exists between Mrs. Helen M. Gougar, the temperance advocate, of Lafayette, Ind., and 3drs. Mary A. Livermore, the well-known woman suffrage and temperance lecturer, of this State. Mrs. Livermore has. already secured the services of counsel, and eays she "will certainly permit no statement' reflecting on her character to pass unnoticed." The difficulty began this fall in the United States Circuit Court here, when Mrs. Livermore was a witness In the suit against Congressman Elijah Morte, brought by Mrs. Gougar. Mrs. Livermore testified that she knew Mrs. Gougar well, and that she occasionally used "harsh and abusive language." Mrs. Livermore also said she had never been a member of the Prohibition party of this State. A letter appeared in the last Issue of the New York Voice, signed by Mrs. Gougar, in -which she sharply took Mrs. Livermore to task and sought to show, that she did not speak the truth at the trial. , Mrs. Gougar alleges that Mrs. Livermore supported the Prohibition nominees, and quoted from Hon. John P. St. John for the purpose of showing ' that he left the Republican party and Joined the Prohibitionists. Mrs. Gougar also denied other statements which Mrs. Livermore made ait the trial. ' Mrs. Livermore, when seen to-night, was very Indignant at the letter In the Voice, and called it a tissue of misrepresentations. Mrs. Livermore has handed the entire matter over, to counsel. ' A GOVERNMENT VICTURV. Conservative Candidate Returned In a Xorth Ontario District.' TORONTO, Ont., Dec. 12. The Dominion government had decided before appealing to the country in a general election to hold an election in an Ontario constituency to sound public opinion on the Manitoba sphool question and the promised remedial legislation.
