The Southern Contingent in the Cabinet Becoming an Inter esting Problem. ▲ List of the Gentlemen who Will Have Charge of the Inaugural Cere mouies March 4. Probable Work of fangreu To-Day-Capt. Howgate Writes Lieut. Greely an Appeal for Money. [Special Telegram to the Globe.] Washington', Dec. 14. — According to one of the most prominent and influential Demo crate in congn*s6, the supposed reluctance of Senator Bayard to accept a place in Mr. Cleveland's cabinet does not exist, and tbe only biich in tbe matter is in regard to the particulnr place wbich Mr. Bayard shall oc cupy. To is Democrat said: The facts, as I understand them to be, are as follows: Mr. (JTlevt-land will be glad to have Mr. Bayard Mcept tbe portfolio of the state department, but Mr. Bayard would greatly prefer to be made secretary of the treasury. He is an ambitious man, and hopes to secure the presidential nomination in 1888. lie reasons wisely that at the bead of tbe treasury department he would not only be able to strengthen his position and in crease hi 6 personal following, but that he would thereby keep out of that department some other man with ambitions as strong as bib own, and who, as secretary of tbe treas ury, might tie able to so fortify his position as to become a formidable, if not a success ful, competitor before the Democratic nat ional convention. SOCTHBONS IN THE CABINET. There is considerable rivalry among the southern men, and fierce jealousies have al ready began to appear. Most of tbe southern men believe that two men from the south will have oiiices in the new cabinet. Tbe places about which there is most gossip are the attorney generalship and the postmaster generalship. The heads of the southern men seem to be set especially on the former place, lor which there are several strong competi tors. Congressman Broadhead,of Missouri, of whom Frank Blair wrote the famous Broad letter in 1868, is being urged by many Mis souri and other western and southern Demo crate. Many of Marmaduke's friends, who are influential in Missouri politics, are out spoken in favor of the appointment of Sena tor Garland, of Arkansas, whose eminent abilities as a lawyer are recognized by bis political friends as weli as opponents in the ist-nate. The strong rivalry between Garland and Broadhead has revived interest in the candidacy of Representative Hammond, of Georgia, who thinks he is a great constitu tional lawyer, and who is ready in season and out of season to expound that instru ment from k state rights ante-war point of view. Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, one of the most brilliant men in the house, has also been spoken of for the attorney generalshio, but a recent movemeut to bring out John S. Barbour of tbe same state as a candidate for postmaster general has probably destroyed whatever hopes Mr. Tucker's friends may have had of his promotion. Barbour' s candidacy has also discon certed the friends of Congressman Money, of Mississippi, and the signs of a fierce contention between Virginia and Mis sissippi are already apparent. BTOCKTON FOR THE NAVY. Nearly everybody seems to believe that New Jersey must receive one of the cabinet plums, and tbe Democrats of that state, with the exception of Kelsea and George B. Mc- Clellan, appear to be unanimous in their support of John P. Stockton for secretary of the uavy. CLEVELAND TO GO TO CHUKCH. The president elect has written to engage a seat in the New York Avenue Presbyterian church. Dr. Bartlett, the pastor, is an old friend of Mr. Cleveland, and was a close friend of his father, the Rev. Stephen Grover Cleveland, of New Jersey. CONGRES3MAN-HLECT LAWLER got here this morning with his wife, who is ill, and on her account he will remain here a day or two before starting west. Mr. Law ler is recorded on tbe register of the Metro politan hotel as "Hon. Frank Lawler and Wife, member of congress-elect from tbe Becoud district of Illinois." Mr. Lawler Tisited tbe president-elect at Albany, and was favorably impressed by him. He is convinced that Gov. Cleveland is deter mined to run his administration himself. Mr. Lawler had a long conferenc with Col. Morrison this afternoon and Mr. Townshend and other Illinois Democrats. BELVA LOCKWOOD, Who, together with her tricycle, achieved considerable distinction during tbe presiden tial campaign, has been having hard luck. On Friday she left her tricycle in front of the White house while she went in, and it was run into by a coupe. Yesterday she left it in front of a house on F street, where she was making: a call, and it was stolen. How eye r, the police recovered it for her after a few hours. AN EARLY APPOINTMENT. Among the positions which President Cleveland will have to fill promptly on his succession to office is that of commissioner of patents, which will be yacated on the 4th of March by Commissioner Butterworth, who becomes on that day a member of the Forty niutb congress. The attention of the Democratic aspirant* is already being turned to this very admirable place, and the friends of Mr. Jas. 8. Grinnell, of Greenfield, Mass., think him a ■trong candidate. He held tbe position of chief clerk of tbe patent office for fifteen years, although a Democrat, and was turned out by Zach Chandler when he became secre tary, partly, it is said, on account of his ab rupt refusal to contribute to the Republican campaign fund. It is understood that Mr. Grinnell will not seek the place, as he is in dc need of an official position, and bis ap pointment therefore, will only be waged on public grounds.

The bouse committee on appropriations Intends to report both the District of Colum bia and consular and diplomatic appropria tion bills during the present week. Mr. Han dall has ex preyed bis determination to get all the appropriation bills through the house as soon as possible, so they may be discussed by the senate at an early day. INTERSTATE COMMERCE. The interstate commerce bill will h& called up for continued discussion when no appro priation bill is before the bouse. Mr. Regan hopes to secure action upon it Thursday. MEXICAN PENSIONS. When this bill is disposed of, the friends of the Mexican pension bill will endeavor to secure action upon that measure. They will will be antagonized, however, by the friends of the educational bill. THE DAKOTA BILL. In the senate the bill for the admission of Dakota is unfinished business, and its con sideration will continue daily after the morn ing hour until disposed of. A vote will probably be taken on Tuesday. SPECIAL ORDERS. The first of the special orders on the senate calendar, and a measure entitled to whatever advantage that designation confers, is the bill to establish a commission to regulate interstate commerce. Should this measure come up it is likely to consume the re mainder of the week. It is understood, however, that Senator Blair will antagonize it with one of bis labor bills, now on the cal endar reported from the committee on edu cation and labor. Two other measures are made special orders for the week, but it is doubtful if they will be reached. These are the bill declaring the forfeiture of the Texas Pacific land grant and the Joint resolution proposing an amendment to the constitution in relation to the veto power. 3the military and naval bills. • The military academy appropriation bill may possibly be reported from the appropria tions committee during the week and be brought up for action in the senate. The only other appropriation bill before the sen ate is the naval bill, making provision for the last half of the present fiscal year. The senate prefers to revive the regular appro priation bill of last session, and has asked for a committee of conference. The house baa not responded as yet. ' HINTING FOE HOWGATE. Lieut. A. W. Greely, the Arctic voyager, recently received a letter from Capt. How gate, the fugitive signal service officer, ask ing him for a loan of money. The letter came to Lieut. Greely through the daughter of Capt. Howgate, who resides at Cleveland, O. Capt. Howgate did not give his address. Lieut. Greely replied through Capt. How gate's daughter, saying he had not the money to spare. The letter it self he placed In a private drawer in his office in the signal service bureau. On Wednesday be received an an onymous communication, stating his pri vate drawer had been opened, and some of his private papers copied, among others this letter from Capt. Howgatc. On receipt of the communication he laid the matter be fore Secretary Lincoln, and two detectives and an officer of the signal corps were sent to Nebraska, where it is thought Howgate is, to arrest him.

Direct connection will be given with all telephone subscribers, and there will be pay stations in Rnode Island, Connecticut and New York city. The system is a very simple one, and thoroughly effective. There is double wire, obviating the difficulties arising from a ground current, while an improved trans mitter permits the use of stronger batteries than are used upon ordinary telephone cir cuits. The wires used are copper, hardened by a peculiar process, which makes them dur able without impairing their conductivity. Twenty-Five Thousand Children at Sunday School.

THE DAVIS LETTER. The Epistle Referred to by Gen. Sherman Found in North Carolina. Chicago, 111., Dec. — A Raleigh, N. C, special rays: • In reference to the recent con troversy between Gen. Sherman and Jeffer son Davis, in which the former charged the latter with having threatened to force certain states to remain* in the confederacy, it baa been stated that the letter containing this threat was written by Gov. Vance, United States senator, in reply to his letter to Presi dent Davis of Oct. 25, ISG2. It has been stated also that the letter of Davis bad been destroyed. This is a mistake. Tbe letter is here, and is now in the possession of a gen tleman of Raleigh. It is as follows: Richmond, Va., Nov. 11, ISC2.— Hit Excellency, Gov. Vance, Raleigh, N. C, Dear Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge yours of the 25th ult., and regret the disap pointment to which some of the recruits of ] North Carolina have been subjected. I con cur with you as to the policy allowing the conscripts, as far as the state of the service will permit, to select the companies and reg iments in which they are to serve. Tbe right secured by law of the volunteer to se lect his own company was lost, it is true, by enrollments; but the policy was so obvious of associating men together who would not har monize with each other that it was my pur pose to continue the privilege beyond tbe limit fixed by law. The danger to the coast of North Carolina and our Inability to draw troops from the army of . Northern Virginia rendered it proper that the greatest exertion should be made immediately to fill up the regiments In Gen. French's commands, but this did not interfere with allowing conscripts to select among those regiments the one to which they would be assigned so long as vacancies existed in the companies chosen, and that I expected would have been done. I will send your letter to the war department with a copy of the reply to you. and hope for the future there will be no ground for disaatis faction, and that, as far as possible, the dis appointments to which you refer may be cor rected by transfer. I feel grateful to you for the* cordial manner In which you have sustained every proposition connected with the public defense, and trust there will always be such co-Intelligence and accord ance* as will enable us to co-operate for the , public good. The conscript act has not been i popular anywhere out of tbe army. There, 1 as you are aware, it receives the check of , discontent,, which results from retaining twelve months' men beyond the term of their original engagement, and was fairly regarded as a measure equitably to distribute the bur den of public defense: but state authorities have nowhere offered any opposition to its I execution or withheld their aid except In the ', state of Georgia, and so far as the cadets of the military insti- i tute are concerned In the state of ) Virginia, I *bail endeavor by judicial decis- ; ion to settle the question raised in those two I states, and in the mean time I hare be* n cheered bj the evidence of popular sentiment ' which supports any measure necessary to ' protect our country, and secure our political independence. Like yourself, I hare hoped that party distinctions which existed at a former time would be buried in the graves of the gallant men who have fallen in the de fense of their birthright, and that we should all, as a band of brothers, strike for the in heritance our father* left us. With sincere regard I am respectfully and truly, [Signed.] Jefferson Davis. THE RAPPAHANNOCK STORM. Eight Persons Killed in the Virginia Storm on Tuesday Last— Other Casualties. Baltimore, Dec. 14.

A Husband and Wife Commit Suicide. I Special Telecram to the (ilobe.j Harrisbuso, Pa., Dec — The particu lars of a very Md tragedy have just been re ceived here. About three months ago the wife of Prof. N. H. Brown, formerly a teacher in one of the public schools of this city, committed suicide at Redbook, N. V., by taking paris green, because of a slander circulated against her virtue. The violent death of his wife ereatly depressed Prof. Brown, and gradually his mind became affected. At the time of the woman's suicide, her husband was principal of a school at Red book, but, as his mental condition grew worse, he resigned his position and laid In wait for the man whose name was coupled with his wife's. . alleged indiscretion. About a month since he called at the man's house . early in the morning, and incoherently referred to the deceased wife. He was then driven away by the firing of a revolver out of the window. Three weeks ago Prof. Brown visited the residence of his brother, at Owen City, near the bound* ary line of the Schuyltdll and Dauphin coun ties. On Friday be attempted to take his life by cutting a gash into his neck with a razor. His brother, being a physician, at tended . to his Injuries and prevented .. bis .death.* After this effort at self-destruction •• Brown's brother 1 slept with him.

To-morrow bis remains will be brought to this city, and on Sunday they will - be buried by the aide of the body of his " wife at Thorp's church, a short distance from this city. The deceased came to this city I thirteen years ago, and while here married 1 the lady who took her life at Redhook. Eight - years ago he removed to the place where bit c wife committed suicide.

Mich.. Dec. 14. — A reduction of I •ages and forces baa been In progress In H Detroit for some time, and now there are II 'ully 10.000 men out of employment and II nany more whoa-- time and pay have been I "educed. Only three industries have not I teen affected. These are the tobacco manu- I acturera, furriers and brewers. This is aeon- H lition of affairs new to Detroit. An on- I ortunate truth is tbe fact that of tbe Indus- I rles giving erop'oyment to the most I nen the greatest number are the I cast active. The Michigan, Pullman and I eninsular car manufacturing companies I •in ploy respectively 2.500, 1,000 and 500 I vhen in full force. They have been com- I idled to reduce their forces until they now I employ a total force of 830, leaving 3,150 I persons unemployed in this Industry alone. I [hose still employed have had their hours I [and consequently their Income) reduced. I All car wheel companies have reduced their I forces about half, throwing out 1.000 and I putting 477 out of 932 retained on half I Jme. Three stone companies, the Michigan, I jcninsular and Detroit, show a reduction in I he whole force of 1,000 to 2,000 men. Each I :ompany expects to shut down for a few I weeks, and will probably then resume with a I .mall force. The majority of tbe boiler and I machine shops are comparatively idle. Tbere I ire eight <■'. these ordinarily employing 500 H to COO men. Now ninety are employed, and I some of them on short time. Further re- H ductions are intended. The number of ma- I i-hinists out of employment is estimated at H 500. ■ Those at work are on reduced time or I pay. Tbe Detroit Dry Dock company has I reduced its force from COO to 100, working I nine hours. Contractors and builders I report a falling off of 50 per cent, and toe H hours are generally reduced to eijrnt. Ot the I bricklayers, masons and cabinetmakers from H 60 to 75 per cent, are out of employment. I The same report, with slight variations in H figures, is given by lumbermen, tanners I manufacturing, pharmacists, cigar manu- I facturera, plumbers, manufacturers of hard- I ware and other industries. Upwards of I thirty-five manufacturing establishments are I reported, and of these only three prosper, I fully 8,500 laborers and mechanics are out of II employment. As this Includes only the fore- I most industries. It is no exaggeration to say II that, adding small industries and retailers, I there are from 10,000 to 12,000 persons in II Detroit this winter unemployed. H LABOR DISCUSSION IN NEW TORE. * H (Special Telegram to the Globe. I H New York, Dec. 14.— At the Central La- H bor union's meeting this afternoon letters ■ from the president of the relief committee H of the Hocking valley miners and the presl- I dent of the Ohio Miners' union were read. H Tbey say that tbe strike against the coal syn- I dicate has not ended, and that none of the H men out with them have gone back to work I or will go back until the syndicate grants H the demands of the strikers. The Pro- I gresaive cigar makers say that there I ia little. prospect of work in their I industry for some time to come. The union n has experts examiningthe Spanish reciprocity I treaty, and they find tbat it will drive 50,000 I men out of work at making cigars in this I city, and reduce the wages of 15,000 appre- I ciably. The onion has prepared a resolution I calling upon New York senators to vote I against the treaty. It asked the other unions II in the Central Labor union to pass similar I resolutions. There was considerable ■ discussion about the parade of idle I men in this city. Many unions were I in favor of It. Many delegates proposed a I parade to the city hall and a demand of work I from the authorities. Tbe proposition to de I mand work was withdrawn, It was decided I to have a parade down Broadway to the city I ball, and to ask asssistance from tbe author- I ities to make nine hours instead of ten hours I a legal day's work.
