Special to The Morning t\vL:_
. Outhkik (Oklahoma), Oct. 2.— To-day was
one of tremendous excitement in the Terri
torial Legislature. The bill for the per
manent location of the capital at Oklahoma
City passed the House yesterday. Before
action was. taken in the upper House- to-day,
however, a motion in the lower House for
reconsideration was adopted. Friends of
Speaker Daniels had induced him to sign
the bill and Representative Perry was
hurrying over to the upper House with it.
When the enemies of the measure discovered
this the Legislature was turned into a howl
ing mob. Perry was pursued. When over
taken in the street some one yelled, "Hang
bim," and the proposition was nearly carried
into effect. The unfortunate legislator con
vinced the mob, however, that he had
handed the bill to Representative Nesbit
and that gentleman made a wild break down
the street with the mob in full pursuit. Xes
bit managed to distance them for four
blocks «l!cu liis strength cave out and he
surrendered. The bill was -taken back to
the House and the Speaker in the presence
of the Governor ami other witnesses erased
lit signature saying he signed the measure
under mis:ijiprelien-ion. The United States
Marshal aud Captain lisiveiiauuli, command
ing the United States forces, calmed the ex
cited .crowd, which was still demanding the
punishment of Perry and Nesbit.
RUSSIAN JLWS.
Appeal for Aid to Send Persecuted Hebrews
to Palestine.
New Yoiik, Oct. 2.— The news of the op
pression of the Jews in Bussia have of late
burdened the cables, and the Hebrews of
this town have been bestirring themselves
to relieve the Russian Jews by Bending
them back to Palestine. It is one of the
phases of the fulfillment of ancient prophecy,
as' many Jews believe that in the last days
there will be a gathering of the tribes cf
Israel in the Holy Land. Circulars printed
In Hebrew and English, signed by Chief
Rabbi Jacob Joseph, Coroner Ferdinand
Levy and Rev. Dr. L. Zinsler or the Henry
street Syi)Bß(gue, were distributed among
the Hebrews in town yesterday setting
forth 'tin reasons why the Russian Hebrews
should be helped to emigrate IS the ancient
In. me of the race,, ana In response the
Clirlstie-f-treet Sjnagogue was jammed la-t
night by representatives of the leading ron-
BTPgationi of Hebrew benevolent societies
to hear Well-known Jews discuss till sub
ject. The s-peakers said in substance that
or <lie la*t ten years conspicuous Jews all
over the world bad been convinced the only
true solution of the ".Jewish Question"
was emigration to Palestine, Muce the
last Jr'wij<h troubles. in Kuumania, about
JBB2, the movt-'iiFut toward Palestine has
played a most important part in the destiny
of-Kast European Jews. Nearly twenty
colonies with a population of 4000 have
Sprung upon the toil of the Holy Land, and
it is Said the prospects of Jewish settlement
are most promising^ '1 he enthusiasm in
favor of the movement is spreading, not
inly among the most lowly and humble, hut
among the . wealthiest Jews in RU88lf», Ger
many, England mid France. The. effort to
Colonize Palestine has realized more than
iciitoid the benefits and advantages of the
outlay, in America. The Immigration of
Russian Jews to this country has been op
posed by Jews and others in a most strenu
ous, way recently, and if « mure hospitable
and congenial place of refuse than this
country is not found for the newl) threat
ened exodus of hundreds of thousands of
these ruinate fugitives from tyranny
and persecution, these hostile voices may
icrow louder and the day nay not be far
distant when this country will also have it-.

string auieal for pecuniary aid. About
SIOOO was subscribed at the meeting to aid
in tending Jews in Russia to Palestine.

met Stetson, but all be could gat from him
was that Haiti*; had gone away with Mrs.

I want to find her m.d let her know who her

photograph of her from Stetson; 1 went to

SIM, IK TICIAIi DELAYED.
A Defect in the Ih'.ltdeithia's Steam Steering
Gear.
Gabdineu's Bay (L. 1.)., Oct. 2.— Having
managed to disable tier machinery twice on
the run from Philadelphia to New York,
the Philadelphia's departure from Hint port,
for her final steed trial was delayed several
days by another mishap, a defect in the
steam steering gear, which will deter the
cruiser fiom giving an exhibition of. speed
over the official course; Four times on the
run from New London to this place the ap
paratus has failed to do its work. The ex
act nature of the (l.fficuity lias yet to be
learned. Admiral Gheratdi says it was his
intention to have lh« Philadelphia run four'
times over the course at Newport, entailing
three turns of the vessel at full speed. The
Admiral explained that the turning space on
the Newport course was too narrow to have,
the ship make the attempt with her defective
steering pear, but if a suitable course could
in- found in the found he would have it
measured and the Philadelphia's speed
would be tested over that. A minor disabil
ity, which in no way affects the vessel's
speed, is that the cruiser leaks at the rate of
nine inches per day when i:i sea way. This
is caused by imperfect littiut; of. ; tha rudder
post. ■•■ . .. : .
EHULATOIt OF SAM PATCH.

It was the iri fin iimii' 1 !' til Ilorrlck Devlin, a
Khode Island militiaman. In emulation of
Sam I'iiicii lie dived liom the south side of
Pawtueket Bridge. He struck into a tcn
fqot square bole, forty feet deep, into which
his prototype of sixty-one years ago used to

and was cheered by thousands as he swam
to the shore.
TOBIAS' CAREER.
His Father Balleres That the Young Kan
Was Insane.
New Yobk, Oct. 2.— The extraordinary
career of Leonard Tobias in Yokohama, end-
Ing with his suicide in the Grand Hotel
there, has caused much comment amoug his
friends in this city. Louis Tobias, a jeweler,
is the young man's father. Neither the size
of his store, nor the character of his stock
would indicate that the proprietor was
worth thn many millions he is credited with.
There Is every reason to believe that young
Tobias fell in with adventurers wbo inspired
him to play a brilliant game of bluff w him
ended with the pistol shot that killed him.
"There are but two Ihin^s fnr me to be
lieve," said the father to-day. ".Either the
story from Japan is wholly false or my son
is Insane. He has not married, and was at
home every night until he went to Omaha,
becoming a clothing salesman there." No
nomau answering the description of
the one who was with young Tobias
nnd giving that name lived with him
as his wife at the Gilsey House, as the
woman who was with him in Japan is
ou'ited as 6aying, and her statement that
they were married at the R&Mstery Ollice by
Judge Buckley in New York is equally uu
t; lie, as thero was no Judge Buckley then
or for a long time previous.

Washington, Oct 2.— There were only
about six members of Congress who had any
use for the Capitol to-day. There were not
more than three in the hall at any one time,:
and none of them stayed more than a few
miiii. Speaker Reed left' for tome to
day, and nearly all the members who could
get train accommodations nre on their way
home, or will start to-morrow. The ticket
offices have been doing a big business , last .
night and to-day, and a number of members
have had to delay their departure a day or
two because sleeping-car Accommodations
cuuU not be bad. The members are eager
to', get into the fall campaign,* and are ex-'
pecting to have hot work frcm the moment
they strike the boundary lines of their re-'
spective districts. Mist of them have en
gsgenients for speeches for every week
between now and November, those who
have no tumble at home being engaged to
work for their friends and colleagues. Some
Jiave made arrangements to speak in dis
tricts through which they pass on their way
home.
THE NEXT CONGRESS.
During this session there has been much
talk of the certainty that tin- Democrat*
would have a majority in the next Congress,
fir.d many Republicans hare been ready to
concede Unit the Democrats weald elect the
next. Speaker, but taking a closer view of
•he campaign as they are aDout to enter ft,
the Democrats are not as Siinijuini 1 , and the
Republicans are in better fighting trim.
Tire Democratic Campaign Committee is
seuding out large quantities of documents,
but is short of money, aud local committees
are eipec'.ei to take charge of aff.iirs at
home. The Republican members of the
present Heine are not the only ones who
are having a close light for re-election. Sev
eral Democrats are in a dangerous position,
and there is now going to be the hardest
lighting that politicians can make. There is
a chance that the Democrats will not make
as many gains in Ohio as tiny have been
calculating on. McKinley is very apt to be
re-elected, ana the fighting ground is spread
out so as to tax the resources of the coii*
mittees.
CONTRACTS AWARDED.
Secretary Tracy was not long in consider
ing the bids for the new cruisers, «nd to-day
announced that the department had decided
to award contracts for two of the battle
ships and the cruiser to Cramp & Sons of
Philadelphia, and the third battle-ship to
Scott of the Union fr.>u Works. All of the
battle-ships are to be built exactly alike, and
a of them longer than the designs furnished
by the department, Secretary Tracy will
v •-,» un< : cr consideration the proposal of the
Cramps to add 12 feet to eacll ship, which
■wpr.yihuke their displacement USSO tons.
It "is altogether probable that the ships will
be as much as IS feet lunger than proposed
by the department designs. This would
bring their displacement up to over 10.000
tons. It is understood that Scott is willing
to build his vessel according to the modified
plans provided the contract price corre
spondingly increased. Mr. Scott left for
New York this evening.
The Secretary of the Interior has affirmed
the decision of the Commissioner of the Gen
eral Land Office in the case of Maria S.
Moreno vs. George Sanchez, involving laud
in the Los Angeles District, California.

A CONSUL) HI'MILIAIKD.
The British Representative nt Lot Angeles
Scored by an English Journal.
Washington, Oct. 2.— The British Vice-
Consul nt Los Angeles, Cal., recently in a
report to his Government praised the su
perior horses bred in Southern California
and the splendid prices they commanded in
the markets of the world. He expressed tho
opinion that the British army could well be
supplied with horsrs from this source, and
pointed out the facilities for shipping via
New Orleans.
The Yorkshire Post, in an editorial on this
retort, says that consular reports were In—
tended to give information to the people iv
England us to the demand for tl.eir products,
but if they are to be (onveited into vehicles
for conveying to foreigners Information as to
how they can crush British Industries, they
advise that the sooner Lord Salisbury stops
their publication the better. ' ■
After extolling the worth of the English
bred horse the editorial says: "Perhaps it
would be well to suggest to the Foreign
Office that we should have a different breed
of .Vice-Consul at Los Angeles from the one
now on duty there. A Chinaman could
probably be not to do the work of the post
at considerably less cost, and, to judge by
the example before us, with quite as great
concern for British Interests. The present
Vice-Consul slates that horses can be raised
at a much smaller cost in Southern Califor
nia than here,' owing to the mildness of cli
mate. They can gr.ize 11 the year round,
and so, no doubt, a Chinaman ns Vice-
Consul would be economical, as he could
vary his Vice-Consular duties by taking in
washing. However, if these plains of
Southern California can pr. duce colts and
fillies worth from £1000 to £40U0, we would
recommend breeders to stick to thorough
bred stock, for It is very rarely indeed that
the War Othre gives more than £1000 apiece
for cavalry remounts— somewhere about £45
or £50 is nearer the limit."

AN OMISSION.
One Section of the Tar ft" Bill Overlooked in
the EnroHmuat.
Washington, Oct. 2. — It appears that an
Important omission is made in the Tariff Bill
as enrolled and signed. Section 30 of the
internal revenue schedule, originally strick
en out by the Senate and subsequently re
stored by the conference, was completely
omitted in the enrollment. This section pro
vided fur the allowance of a drawback on
unoking and manufactured tobacco and
snuff held in unbroken packages in the
bands of manufacturers at the dat 9 when
the reduef iiins.no into effect As this date is
January Ist next, however, there will still
be ample opportunity for Congress at the
next session to correct the error by supple
mental legislation.
The Bonded Debt.
WASHrN-GTON-, Oct. 2.— is stated at the

of October, 1888. Th« decrease in the bonded
debt lor the first nineteen months of the
present administration has .been £205,714, 410,

ARIZONA'S SHOWING.
Report of Acticg Governor Murphy to Sec-
retary Nofcle.
■Washington, Oct. 2.— Affairs of the Ter
ritory of Arizona during the fiscal year just
closed are detailed in a report made to the
Secretary of the interior by N\ C. Murphy,
acting Governor. He states that he is un
ufticially informed that the recent census
shows the population of the Territory to te
OT.G'X) exclusive of Indians and military
reservations, and with those who live on
reservations (not Indians) the population is
probably 60,000, a gain in ten years of
19,500. ;;.::
The mining industry, the report states, Is
in a more healthy condition than ever; but
.great attention is being paid to agriculture,
owing to the productiveness of the lands.
Owing to the restrictive luiMnlation in Idaho
and the probability of similar action in
Utah, the acting Governor Hunks the iinmi-*
Ki'<ition ofilormru.l to Arizona will in
crease. The number of jVlormons now in .
the Territory is estimated at one-fifth of the .
population.
The report states that unless restrictive -
measures arc adopted the Territory will be
come Mormon to such an extent as to
seriously disturb society and the affairs of.
Government, and prejudice the Territory's
chance* for Statehood. He therefore recom
mends that Congress grant the same pro-,
tection to Arizona us is enjoyed by Idaho,
and that the Idaho test oath be maun appli
cable to Arizona. The report says that
Arizona has quite a sprinkling of Mexicans
among her p<oi>le.. The majority of them '
become uaturalizcd citizens aud are in sym
pathy with American laws and customs.
There are lew Chinese in the Territory as
compared with the Pacific Coast' States,
and ms yet they cut no fi^uie as a disturbing'
element, although they are very object 1
ble as a clues, and their exclusion is as
: much desired In Arizona a* elsewhere.
The acting Governor recommends that an
enabling act for the ndmi^ion of Arizona
into the Union be passed by Congress; that'
all public lands within the Territory. be
donated to it; that. all school' lauds be do
na'.ed to the Territory for school! purposes;
that the San Carlo! Apaches be removed
from the Turrit ry and the reservation be
oi>ened for settlement ; that the salaries of
the present Judges in Arizona be. increased .
to SjOOO per year, and that the pay 'of
Legislators be increased to $10 per day. .■ '
CUSTOMS ADMINISTRATION.
The Louden Chamber of Commerce Asks
fora Modification of the Act.
Washington-, Oct. 2.— Acting Seer,
Batcheler lias written to the Secretary of
Slate in regard to the question submitted to
our Consul-General at London by the Sec
retary of the Chamber of Commerce cf that
city concerning manufacturers and addi
tional statements required under the Cus
toms Administrative Act. It appears the
form of such statement — No. 171—pre
scribed by the Treasury Department, pro
. vides for a declaration by the manu
facturer of merchandise consigned for sale
by him or for his account to a person in the
United States, showing the. actual' cost of
production and iliu shipment itemized. The
London Chamber nf Commerce desires that,
in lieu of the above declaration, oiir cus
toms, authorities accept the following
declaration: ■ ■ ■ . . • •
"That for trade reasons I decline to give
my consignee' the particular* asked for, but
1 am willing to give the same to the United
Stales l ■■iiMil-i In. mil for his personal satis
faction." ' ■ ■ : .
It was represented to the Consul-General,
by the consignors that it is "unfair to re
quire them to give consignees information
as to the cost of production and all ele
ments entering into such cost, and it is de
structive of the natural laws of commerce'
and trside for them to do it."
.in his letter General Butclieler says: "As
the form of declaration prescribe*! by your
(State) department Is can lined to the particu
lars required by Section 8 of the (let of June
10, 1S0O, to be specified in an official state
ment of affairs, and as under the terms of
that law such statement must be presented
to the Collector of Customs by a person who
is ag- nt, or partner, or consignee, who must
make the declaration scribed by .Section
5 of the same act, thai the invoice on which
he makes entry contains, also,, just as faith
. ful an account it the cost of linishing said
goods, etc., this department is of the opin
ion the information as to the actual cost
cannot consistent'}' with the provisions of
the law cited be withheld from the consignee
and made a subject of confidential Commu
nication from the consignor to the Consuls,
and that no other form of statement than
said form. No. 171, can be accepted as satis
fying the requirements. of the law." • ■'

forms," in which he said that it is the
function of the civil service reform to
provide for all other reforms. To expect to
get solutions to such problems as tha tariff,
currency and pension system offer from such
men as make up the bulk of either House of
Congress, or to deal wisely with the labor
and liquor questions through such men as
make up our Legislatures and City Councils,
is as irrational as to expect figs from thistles.
Along discussion was had upon a proposi
tion to print different papers, some gentle
men taking exceptions to a portion of their
contents, and , objecting to their going on
recoid apparently as being by the
association. A resolution was finally
adopted that the Executive Committee be
directed, in preiaring papers for publica
tion, to prtflx a note that the league is not
responsible for the views therein expressed.
'1 he Committee ou Resolutions presented
a lengthy report, which was unanimously
adopted. The league congratulates the coun
try that an attempt to nullify the reform
law during the present session was defeated
in the House; that the l;iw was defended
by iJisiiamiislied members uf both parties.
The lentue reeognfaw the fact that 32,000
places in the public service are now filled
upon tin' free and fair competition of merit
alone, whilo Commissioner Roosevelt gives
the assuianee that 92 per cent of the clerks
so appointed under ttie last ariministraliou
have been retained. It recalls with satisfac
tion tl:e acticn of the Attorney-General,
sustainiuc the Civil Service Coinmi»inn ;
the revocation of appointments made
in defiance of the reform law,
and the indictment of persons for
receiving political contributions; commends
the explanation of the Civil-service Com
mission before the House committee, and
congratulates the country upon the choice
of Commission en by tlte pre.-ent Adminis
tration. While accordinc the National Ad
ministration the greatest credit lor what
ever advances have been made, the league
finds it necessary to remind the country
that pledges made by the successful tarty
at t.'je last election have been disregarded ;
the reform system has not been extended;
the spirit and purple of reform has not
only not been obsrrved iv all the executive
'departments, but if en vMited; laws at
variance with reform lejji-liiion have not
been repealed, nor has tit-re been any
proposition for their r- p al. Agninst this
contempt of pleices the l-sigue records an
nn qualified protest. The removal of Post
masters for no other cms** than politic.il
opinions nr party affiliations, resulting in
the partisan devastation of an important
branch of public service, is a breach of faith
with the country and a araveoffen.se against
pure polities and the interest of efficient pub
lic service- The important duty of taking
the ccqsus should have been com
mitted to the officers selected be
cause of fitness and with no regard
to political or partisan considerations. The
league urge 9 th« friends of reform to press
upon public attention and on Congress the
repeal of jaws prescribing fixed terms of
office, which were designed to facilitate
partisan chances without the odium of ex
press and positive removal. As a measure
of relief from one of the worst and most
widely diffused abuses of the spoils system,
the league approves of the principles and
objects of the bill introduced in Congress at
the present session to regulate the appoint
ment of fourth-class Postmasters by causing
their selection to be Jnade upon business
principles. In conclusion the league de
clares :
As the necessity for reform was nevpr
more urgent the league will prosecute, with
unflagging-energy its appeal to that matured
opinion of the American people which re
forms every abuse thut menaces the welfare
of the republic;
Several association reports were read.
Mr. Bonaparte spoke of the complete de
moralization of the Republican party in
Baltimore because <<f its distribution at put—
rnnai;;', and sniit it seemed certain that the
delegates to.thi! next Republican Convention
will be pledged against Harrison. Adjourned
t:i meet in Buffalo next year.
At the closing banquet to-night Mr. Curtis
made a speech, \n which he said : "It shows
the healthy condition of the Diiblic nund
that a member ot the United States Senate
has lueii literally roasted for declaring that
morals nnd politics have no connection.
Power always intends to Intoxicate itself
and the hope of reform always rests in the
minority. C;esar hud his Brutus, Charles I
had his Cromwell, and we may iv our coun
try protit by their example."

: :. EXPRESS ROBBERY. .'• . .
A far Entered by Masked Men and th • Safe
Ransacked.
Tiffin. (Ohio), Oct. 2. — A bold express

Adauis Express messenger,* A. L. Scudder,
to throw up his hands. They then tied him
securely and robbed the snfe of packages

and tlie train slowed up to give an oppor
tunity, to capture the robbers, but they
jumped -from the train just as it was enter

darkness.
JVlesseuger Scudder was bound in his
chair and one of tlie robbers tried to kill
him before leaving the car by placing a re
volver at his he;id and pulling the trigger,
but the cartridge failed to explode.. The
other robber then prevented him from try
inn iigain. . .

holding the entire crew at bay. Scudder,
who had been released, opened fire on them
with a pistol from his car-door, but was
compelled to retreat The robbers kept on

THE MAJORITY'S VIEWS.
No Evidence to Sfov That Commissioner
Ranm Has Acted Improperly.
Washington, Oct. 2.— Judge Sawyer, on
behalf of the majority of the Raum Investi
gating Committee, stated to-night to an As
sociated Press reporter that he learned with
surprise that a minority report had been
given out. It was well underwood by the
committee . that the evidence was not all far
and the Investigation not closed. Taking up
the allegations in the minority report, ona
by one, jtiilge Sawyer said there, was not
one of the statements that he believed was
borne out by the evidence, incomplete
though it was. As to the 'list of stockholders
the proof showed that Smyser subscribed
alone for the Htock and that the others inter- .'.'.':. :■
estrd with him made no subscription.
With regard to Bradley Tanner, Com- : :
nilssioner Raum's private secretary, the cvi* :.".
dence showed that at the outside he had only
written four or five letters on the refrige- :
ratcir company's business in the Peusion
Office during office hours. Hit association ...
with the District of Columbia Branch Com
pany was purely nominal, and ihe company
itself had not yet been brought into active ' ',■'■
existence. Tanner's promotion was nhowh; ...
to have been Bade in the lultillinent of a
promise to Rnuni's predecessor. With ibis ■.'-■:■
exception there was no evidence to show
that anybody employed In the Pension Of- : "'.' '
flee was directly or indirectly the owner of .;■
auy stock in the Refrigerator Company.
The majority had carefully analyzed th;i
testimony with regard to favoritUm to at
tonieys and had reached the conclusion that
favoritism was impossible. 'I'hn majority
of the committee earnestly approved the
order establishing the completed files sys
tem as expediting bu«iue-s. They found
there was DO evidence to show the Commis
sioner ever failed CO give the time and at
tention to his duties wliich should be ex- '■'•■...
parted. ■ V ;.
Judge Sawyer remarked in conclusion that
he gave expression tv what he understood to. '."■
he the views of the niajouty with some :■--■■
hesitation, because he did not undue- ..
stand the investigation to be closed,
but as the minority he.d seen fit to make '..'■
their statement public, he thought it only
proper to give tlie majority 3 views.
When asked ;u regard to Lnnion'a indorse
ment. Judge Sawyer replied the evidence "~~.
established that Lemon indorsed notes for./
General Raum to the extent of $12,000 and
rec-ived as collateral 1000 shares in the
Gypsum Mining Company in Virginia. The : ■'
evidence was that this euterurise had beea ...."'
brought to Lemon's attention before Raum--'.
became Commissioner. The ouly evidence "
before the committee as to the valueof these :-..

Salt Rheum
On Head, Face and Neck -A Child's
Sufferings Relieved.
The /allowing is from a well-known Lowell mer-
chaut. and Is, like all our testimonials, perfectly
truthful and reliable. Salt rheum is a well-known
dlsea.se of the blood, and Uood's Sarsaparllla H the ;
best blood puriner.
" When my little boy was only a few mouths old,
eczema, or salt rheum, appeared on his face, br.ul
and neck. It nlso came out on bis body, but not so
severe an on and abnut his head. Blotches and pim-
ples would come cut thickly, break and discharge a
thin watery Ould, and then scales would form.

And caused the poor little fellow a great deal of
suffering for nearly five years. In that time we con.
suited several of the leading physicians, but ha did
not seem to get any better. Tben, about a year ago,
we decided to give him Hood's Sarsaparllla, and as
tbe result of a fair trial he Is now entirety well, hit
skin being smooth and fair as can be. We also used
Hood's Olive Ointment and found it excellent as an
outward application. To Hood's Sarsaparllla and
Ointment we attribute wholly tbe Improved condi-
tion of our .boy." -H. F. Oookin, firm of Qookiu
