WASHINGTON NEWS.

A Tension Agent Confident That the Next Congress Ulli Tension All Union Soldiers. Will Rush tho Appropriations Poeltlons for Cleveland to Fill Other Matters. NEXT CONGRESS AND TENSIONS. A Sanguine Pension Agant, Special to the Sentinel. "Washington, Feb. 15 "Next winter Congress will pass a law giving every maa who served in the Union army a pension," said a leading pension agent to-day. 'Are you sure of that?" I asked. ,l0nlie sure," replied he. ''It is business with me, and I am very sure of it," he continued, 'How hate yon reached this conclusion?" I asked. "Ry a canvass of the House and Senate. It has only been a question of time for years when this thins would come to a pas?. We are at the threshold of it to day." "How much will the pension be ?" "That has been the greatest question in the iEsne. There has been an almost equal division in the House between and$l a month. For a while it looted like the majority wanted to allow i a month, but if the matter were to c ome to a climax to-day ftiamonth would be allowed. Whin all coma in all sound men will receive the Earco amount. There will be no distinction on account - f rank. Those who will receive invalid pensions will, of coarse, be graded the eame as now.1' "Would there not be some Southerners who would vote against a law of this kind?" I think not," replied the agent. "At least re have found none of them who will. You see it is a very particular matter with the agents." "Would it injure yoar business?" "Very much at least for a time. You tee, it would clear out all those old cases and would open up new books. A certificate of discharge, honorably, or muster-out, would be sufficient to make a good claim under the proposed law, and, of course, agents would not be needed, but we would slill have work in securing Increases and working out cases of dependence for widows, parents and children. If this proposition would come up now I think seven-eighths of the Senators and members would support it. Taere are theso who will press - it next winter so that it will pass, and there is little doubt of it. The increase of pensions and the reconstruction of the navy will, in my judgment, greatly reduce the surplus during the next four years. Tbs party in power will have the credit of this work, too." Cootinaous Session Held in the lloase. Srecal to the Sentinel. Washington, Feb. 15. It is qujte likely that the sessions of the House will be almost continuous hereafter. There will be merely recesses taken from day to day shortly. This will keep the Houee in Committee of the Whole on the appropriation bills, and will cut out all special orders. This is Mr. Randall's idea of expediting business, and 8urely is the best the rules afford. In the event the bills are not well out of tho way on next Saturday, the session will be made to continue right through Sunday, and t,he following Sunday, also, if necessary. There will be sessions almost every night hereafter. The majority of the Committee on Appropriations are bent on rushing matters. In the Senate there is little need of nig1.:, or Sunday sessions. Everything is done i t order there, and.it is seldom that any tin h is thrown away. The Committee on Appr priations and its auxiliaries meet dailv excepting Sunday, and while in the House commute, there are quarrels and bickering?, seldom anything interferes with the expeditionjof the work in the Senate. The estimates and prayers for appropriations are alwaya submitted to the House Committee, however, and that of the Senate is considered but an appeal and reviewing committee. Few there are in either the House or Senats who believe the River and Harbor bill will be passed. It is doomed to death, although some of its friends represent that it will at the last hoar come np and go through. Positions Left Open by Arthur Unfilled. srecial to the Sentinel. Washington, Feb. 15. Several pesitions of prominence are bairg leit open by President Arthur, to be filled by the Incoming Executive. Among them is the Ministership to Spain. Minister Foster is here and has been for some time In the office, and is working for tho adoption of the SpanishAmerican treaty, but as soon as Mr. Arthur goes out Minister Foster will be out. The position the President and his Cabinet have assumed ia reference to the transfer of Federal positions to women, cripples and other?, who would likely be detained by ths new President through sympathy, is commendable, viewed In a political light. It locks now as though there could be no nnm for charging that an undue advantage has been taken. Yonog Mahuue'i Sprees. Special to the Sentinel. WAfBiNGTON, Feb. 15. It looks now very much as though the dissipating eon of Senator Mahcne would have to pay the penalty of Li reshnees ic trying to shoot

some of the waiters at Welckr's Hetel. The young man hes been on eo many of these disastrous sprees that he ha3 quite got himself into disrepute and disfavor with all clas:es. A jury would likely deal eeverely with him In meting out the justice of a trial. Some surprise has been shown at the manner in which Senator Mahcne pleads the case of his son. The father seems in no spirit of apology for his son, notwithstanding the young man's oilense is very serious and was unprovoked, and is in the line of several others committed daring the la3t four jeare. There is a disposition among the people here to make an example of young Mohone, and unless there are some liberal compromises he may serve a term under esatence. Vfaehlrcton Monument Ceremonies. Special to the Sentinel. Wa?hi5;to!i, Feb. 15. To-day I aiked one of the leading membsrs of the Congressional Committee on Dedication ot the Washington Monument if next Saturday would not be taken up in Congress with the dedication cer? monies. "No," he replied, "I don't think S3. We will doubtless do a good two hours' work before the exercises begin. Then when they are over we will proceed with our work." 'But the parade and the services at the monument?" I interrogated. "Few Congressmen or Senators will care for them that is, unless the business in the House is xr nderfully expedited before that time. To - teeuen the fears of an extra session wouid wit U19 pleasure of dedication."

THODABLE CONCESSIONAL YiOUK. The Appropriation ISilla To He Crowded Thronfch Without Bloch KxamlimtioD, to Avoid an Kxtra cession. Washington, Feb. 1". Judging from theexpressions of members of Congress when speaking for themselves alone, and to soma extent from the course of events for the last week, an extra session of Congress is no longer probable, but may be possible, ai expressions of a fear or conviction are heard on all hands that some party cr faction, not including the person epeaklng, would welcome an extra session; and it is conceded everywhere that the condition of public business is such that the purpose, if entertained, may be effected, and peihap3 without a disclosure of responsibility therefor in any quarter. Even if very one be credited with a straightforward purpote of working to secure the passage of ths appropriation bills before the 4th of March, the fact remains, that under Jong-existing rules of the Hocse, the roads to enlightenment are many and short, while the wave to a solu tion of possible parliamentary difficulties are few and involved. Five of the most important appropriation bills are yet to be acted upon by the Ilon, and these, in addition to the Postolii:e bill, which, passed the House yesterday, mu9t yet to considered by the Senate Committee on Appropriations. At the close of theproceeliugs in the House, last evening a recess was taken until 10 o'clock to-morrov morning, when further considerati3a will be given the Legislative bill. It was generally understood the recess was taken in order to prevent the execution of the regular order for to-morrow, namely: the reception of motions from cooimitteea to pass sptcillVd measures, under a sinpeaslou of the roles. An effort will prooao'y he made, however, to adjourn the Haas a bafore 12 o'clock, S3 this order may b3 o -Eervcd. If the effort succeeds, the committee cn Military affairs will firit be called. General Slocum will endeavor to secure iha consideration of the bill providing foi the retirement of General Grant. The other committees to be called in turn, includicg Naval Affairs, Pos.ctlicas and Pos tread 3 and Public Lands, will ask that various evenings be set apart for thecoc tideration of bu-iness heretofore reports by them. The general impression is th. t the Home will refuse to adjourn, and in ta.s event the consideration of the Leg;slativbill will be continued until finished. It 1 believf d the bill can be completed before th -adjournment of the legislative day of baturdav, which may continue until evening The Appropr.ation Committee intenij tf report either the Sundry Civil or Naval bil to-mcrrow, and to call up on the followio day the one reported. The oher will be 5; resdiness for action by the House imndi ately afterward. Ths River and Harb:. Committee will antagonize the Hpproprii t;on bills with the River and Harbor bili wherever an opportunity offers. Itisprj roeed to held a uijint session during th week, and if the Sundry Civil and Naval ap propriation bills are "disposed of before it ilcse, the Appropriations Committee expect them to brina: forward the Fortification bill. Saturday afternoon has been set apart for 6ierc;se.i in the hall of the Hou? connected with the dedication of the Washington monnment, the chief features of wir.ch will be orations by Hon. Robert C. Winthrop (to be delivered by Representative Lonz, cf Massachusetts) and Hon. John W. Daniel, of Virginia. In the Senate ths consideration o! the In dian Appropriation bill will be continned and proDably concluded to-morrow. Th Agricultural bill will than be di.pos?d of. The unfinished business of the Senate in the morning hour is the Des Moires River Land bill, and aftr the morning hour th? Contract Labor bill and the bill for the admission of Tficoma are the measures nios likely to be pressed fcr consideration when the Labor bill is disposed ot and no appropriation bills are then ready for discussion. Milwaukee' CtiUf of Police. Milwaukee, Wis., Feb. 15 Chief of Police Ei'sworth has not yet replied to the request made for his resignation by Mayor Wallber, as the result cf the recent investigation. In respon e to the request of Ellsworth's friends he will be given nntil to-morrow to reply to the' Mayor's formal request, and it his resignation is not then tendered the Mayor will proceed to remove him in the manner prescribed by the city charter. There is probability of another investigation, which In all probability will result in the removal of the First Lieutenant, Dow.

GENERAL HlREKiN NEWS. The ItoftWn miipid for Annexation tn .Afghanistan lifie Rapidly Developed. Loni-on, Feb. 15 The Daily Telegraph end other newspapers throughout England are still harping on the alleged Russian aggression in Central Asia, and their articles pnblished from da to day would probably reise a great scare throughout Great Britain if public opinion was net wholly engrossed villi the Sjudaa afUir. The latest reoort published is to the effect that the Government has only just now become aware of the fact that Russian troops are withia forty miies rf Herat, in Afghanistan, as the newspiperj have been asserting for weeks past, ai)d that the seizure cf Herat by the Eians h possible at any mompnt. Tcp editorial cr.rnm?ut8 assert that the failure of General Zelnni, the Russian Commntiontr or the delimitation of the RussoAfghan boundary, ti joia Sir R'chard Lumsden and the English Commission at the scene cf their labors, was a pretext on tte rart of M. DeGier, the Russian Premier, to fc&in time in order to fully prepare hia eherne of annexation ia Afghanistan. There is no doubt that if the Tories were in power, with such a maa as Disraeli for Premier, the seizure of any portion of Afghan territory would be considered tantamount to a declaration of war. Bullying dispatcher would have been sent long ago from London to St. Petersburg. "But," as one of the editorial writers eadly remarks, "Mr. Gladstone will doubtless find some plausible excuse which will satisfy himself. ' The European bourses are daily mbre or less affected by reports of Russian aggressions ia Central Asia, and it is certain that there v;culd be a big crash in the London Stock Exchange if the seizure of Herat by the Russian troops were announced. A popular outcry would be raised which would compel the Government to vastly increase the strength of its army and nary. The seizure ot Herat in the near future is almost' rtain, and it will fca?e a very depressing effect on the English markets. But the operators in American products long for the crash to ccme, as they fully believe that the result of the seizure cf any "part of Afghanistan would be the blockading of Ruian por'.s by the British fleet, thus preventing Russia from competing with America in the English aDd continental markets for the grain and petroleum trade. Dublin Detectives in London. Lonion, Feb. 15. The clubs and the newspapers have t cores cf jokes at the expense cf the policemen who hate been im

ported from Dublin to protect pucriic buildings in London. They are ail in plain clothes, but tLey would never be taken by the most casual stranger for plain citizens. Mestcf them are big, fitrapping handsome men, with a military air and swagger that ia unmktakable. They wear regulation boots, and betray their calling in various other ways. A blind dynamiter might be fooled into running against them, but no Londoner is likely to make such a mistake. A reporter of the Standard last night saw one of the specials guarding the Admiralty Office. The reporter, who had lately been in Dublin, recognized the special Constable, and proceeded to amuse himself. He behaved in such a mysterious way that the detective promptly left the Admiralty Office to guard iteelf and followed the practical joker over half of London. Cardinal Chißl Djlng Relations With France. Romp, Feb. 15. A well-informed ecclesiastical correspondent sends the Globe-Democrat the following: "The death of Cardinal Chigi is expected at any moment, and may lead to important changes. It is believed that Cardinal Jacobini, the present Secretary of State, will be appointed to the post of Secretary of Memorials at the Canceliaria in his place. In this case Cardinal Czacki nas a good chance of succeeding Cardinal Jacobini at the Vatican. He has long b?eu a trusted adviser of the Pontiff and is distirguished as a diplomate Though young he has rendered the church great service. A list of the ccmini: Cardinals is likely to include MooEignor Copecelatro, Archbishop of C8pua, an oratorian and eloquent liberal savant, who in 1875 wrote a brilliant pamphlet explaining the real meaning of the ejllabus. "As already telegraphed, the rumors of ioptnre between France and the Vatican are false. The Pope referred playfully to the subject in a conversation with Comte Lefevre de Bebaine lately, and said the reptrts were unfounded. Mgr. Di Rende will remain in Paris as Nuncio. His sudden return wa3 due to the illness of his sister. The Propaganda recently wrote to M. .Jules Ferry thanking htm for the promise of protection for the Catholic missions. The Vatican is now preparing a note asking the French Government to do its utmost to re-establish grants in favor of tbe Archbishop of Paris and the Canons, suppressed by the Chambers during the debate on the budget."

Pond street pavement was crowded with those anxious to see the terra i otta medallion of General Gordon, exposed in a show window, and made by Mr. White, a Royal Academican. It is said by Gordon's brother to be a perfect likeness. Colonel Burnaby's bust, in terra cotta, by Mr. R. B. Stocks, clcse to it, was also pronounced by Colonel Barnaby'a brother a perfect likeness.

STOCK MYSTERIES.

An Explanation of tho Manner In Which Trices of Stock Are Maneuvered 1j lirokerg. Fears of Another Snow Blockado Entertained in Chicago Liko That of Last Week. HOW STOCKS ARE BOOMED, And How the Dig Speculator In Wall Street Unloads on the Little Ones. New York, Feb. 1 1. To those who watch the Wall street i'iuctaations ia stocks, and wonder about the causes, this week's quotations must have been mystifying. Speaking generally, it may be said that there a'e not more than a round dozen men who are able to be controllers of the chanceful ilgures and evea they sometimes fail in their attempts. Their names begin with Gon'.d and include Sage, Mills, Woerrishoefer, Cammack- and Vanderbilt. The smaller operators are gamblers pure and simple, with no power for manipulation. During this week the processes of stock boom aad depression have been in unusual use, and it is a good time to explain them. The cardinal principle is the dissemination of misleading rumors. Secrecy is the eecond doctrine. aite as often as not Mr. Gould does not trust more than one agent in a movement, and it i9 not until the activity has been increased by the renewal two or three times of his order to buy an I sell a big lot that he begins to work his wires. There are in Wall street halfado.en agencies for the distribution of news. They tend out every hour printed sheets like prnall newspapers, or manifold copies of their information. These agencies are then used by Gould to put hts information before the public. It runs something like thi, as the Union Pacific deal begins to develop: "The recent activity in Union Pacific is a'tributed to buying by Mr. Gould. His friends say he is very bullish on the stock whose earning for the six months just ending will show a very large increase." A l alf hour later this announcement is made: ' Some of the largest capitalists in the street are with Mr. Gould in the Union Pacific deal, and very much higher prices are predicted for the stock." Then comes something like this: "The January earnings ofünioa Pacific show an enormous inert aje over those of a year ago, and they justify the predicted increase m the March dividend." Friends of the read say that it never was eo prosperous " Then it is that the ayerage speculator begins to wonder whether he had not batter buy a little Union Pacific, or increase his holdiEg if he has bought, and while he contemplaies in rushes a wide awake young man waving a slip cf paper about the siz of any ordinary bank check, shouting: "Sell you a put on Union Pacifio for thirty days. ICO shares !K for $125. The stock just sold for'.'l. Cheapest put you ever saw. Signed by Ssge, 100." This announcement simply means tint Sage will insure any one who will give him $li!5 against less from the decline of Union Pacific below 00 duricg the next thirty days. It is pretty conclusive proof that Sage believes that Union Pacific is to advance. Just then another news agency slip is handed in. It says: "Instead of an increase in the regular March dividend of the Union Pacific Road it is now taid that there will be a stock or a scrip dividend of about L'O per cent. Mr. Gould is very much annoyed be aue this information has been public before he ard his iriends have acquired ali the stock they wanted. It is eviflent that there is to be a great rise in the stock." And eo all day Ions Mows the news in a dozen different ways that Union Pacific is to bcom. The put and call brokers carry it from ofSce to office. The newspaper financial articles all discu3 it. The stock is very active in the exchange and is advancing. It looks as though it would never stop goirr-c up. Everybody who speculates at length hes purchased. If he did not get in at the beginning of the deal he is sure ti at the end. If he did not believe th stories about the magnificent prospects cf Unioa Pacific when they first came out, he is sure to now, for they have been reiterated hourly from the lirst. The stock has advanced from 01 to The reports are that it will go to 105 or 110. The reports have all proved true thus iar, whv should they not prove true hereafter? So he buys. The stosk holds very firm for a day cr two, but does not alvance any more. The good news begin to fall off. The put-and-call broken are offering privileges cn some other stock. Nothing more ia htard of an extra dividend. Tb orica be gins tc decline. Now it is 01, now l;,, now if. i now "Wh;it's the matter with Union Pec-tic?' cry the speculators in alarm. "Ob, Gon'd is unloading," say the bara. The speculators rush to i-t out. Dawn cces the market under their offerings. They have sold at a los 3. Gould fc.u unloaded on them. He had sold them the stock they bought at J3. and ten to one h6 bujs it back of them when they unload at !'3cr!2?j. And so the Wall street game goes on year in and year out. It i3 a Joiing came every time for the beginner, and usually for the veteran speculator. ANOTHER ULOCKa1)E FE IRE D. A Storm Prevailing In the Same Sections and of Mach of the Same Character of Last Week. Chicago, III., Feb. 15. A driving enow storm prevailed here nearly all day, ceasing this evening after darkness had set in. The enow was fine, moi3t and clinging, and drifted badly before the strong north wind. Trains coming in to night are delayed, and fears are expressed in the present condition of aflairs, with such vast quantities of snow pi!ed up along the tracks.the blockade of list week will be renewed to-morrow unless the wind slackens. Advices recived are to the effect that the storm is of much the came character and extent aa that of one week ago. There is a fierce blizzard in Iowa. Snow has fallen during the most of the day in Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana. The heaviest snow storm teems to have fallen ia central and southern Illinois, and trains are reported as laboring heavily or entirely abandoned in that sec tion. Rain is reported in southern Obio and warmer weather in the Scuth and Eist.
