WASHISQTOH CITT, March 30.— [Special.]
—lt is believed by those interested that
the movement to investigate the record.of
Senator Roach, of North Dakota, will not
proceed much farther. There are too
many senators Who do not care to see this
matter go so far that the outcome may re
salt in the airing of the records of certain
other members that might not stand the
search-light that wouid be turned upon
them if Roach's case is pushed. Senator
Gorman is very anxious to have the mat
ter dropped for the reason, also, that his
meth <ds of directing the campaigns of the
Democrats at Bismarck last winter would
not stand rigid investigation. It is almost
certain that the senatorial steering com
mittee, of which (iorman was chairman,
sent a big "boodle" land to Bismarck,
which was used to elect a Democratic sen
ator, when the legislature was Republican
by thirteen majority on joint ballot. All
the work of Gorman and his aids would be
sure to become public if this investigation
is honestly conducted, and no one realizes
thia more fully than does Gorman.
There was no sign of letting up in the
rush of office seekers at the White House
today. They came early and stayed late,
and some would have stayed longer if op
portunity had presented.
"But, Mr. President, what are you go
ing to do with the slates the congressional
delegations are fixing up for the distribu
tion of local patronage?"
"I am going to smash them."
This is the question reported to have
been put to the president by a congress
man and the reply of the president. To
make the matter a little clearer, the con
gressman learned that while the agree
ment of a delegation upon local officers
may have weight, the president will not
be bound by it. So plain has this policy
of the president become that the Alabama
delegation has decided to abandon its
slate before agreed upon. Their lead will
be followed by other delegations with the
result that probably the contest for office
will become a "free-for-all** race and each
candidate will run on his own merits.
This will probably be satisfactory to many
congressmen, for it will relieve them of
considerable responsibility.
Senator Allen returned from his visit to
New York last night Today he was a
caller at the White House and presented
to the president a number of Washington
state resident wsit«"fmin tbe city. Later
in the day he was in the senate chamber
and listened for some time to the remarks
of Senator Mitchell, who argued against
the seating of the senators from Washing
ton, Wyoming and Montana. Senator
Mitchell in the course of his arguments
cited among tbe disastrous consequences
that would follow the adoption of the ma
jority report, that:
It would unreasonably augment and extend
the prerogative* of the state executive over
those of the legislature, and subordinate the
constitutional functions of the legislature to
those of the executive. It would place • pre
mium on treason to party organization aud
party discipline. It would encourage factious
and minority in the legislature in filibustering
efforts to defeat the election of senator*, and it
would tend to prevent a fair expression of the
majority in legislatures. In conclusion be ex
pressed the conviction that the majority in the
senate would vote for the admission of the
three senators but such a vote would be one
that would overturn a deliberate precedent es
tablished by trie senate alter full consideration
over sixty-eight years ago. It would establish a
precedent that would result inside of ten years
in oue-third of the senators owing their seats to
executive appointment, and it would inflict a
fatal stab to the great principle oi republican
government
Assistant Secretary Spauldin'g has writ
ten the following letter to collectors on
the Pacific coast:
Tbe department is informed that the practice
among Chinese laborers in this country is en
trust.ug money to merchants which is treated
as a part of the capital in the business. Chinese
laborers who havo made such disposition of
their savings, although not actually engaged in
mercantile business, claimed to be merchants
aal thereby entitled to leave the couutry and
return. The department desires you to closely
scrutinize the certificates which may be pre
sented at you pert to returning Chinese, to re
quire evidence of tbe standing of the holders of
buna fl.ie merchants actively engaged in busi
ness. In no case should Chinese be. permitted
to enter as merchants, unless their right to that
privilege is clearly established and where it ap
pears that tbe practice herein referred to is at
tempted, the certificates presented should be
ignored, tbe holders arrested and the tacts re
ported to the department.
Secretary of State Gresham today sent a
letter to Minister Lincoln, at London,
couched in the most felicitous language,
accepting on behalf of President Cleve
land, Lincoln's resignation, and announc
ing the appointment and confirmation of
liayard as his successor.
Ihe criticisms made upon the Russian
treaty, whether just or not, have had the
effect of putting the senate on the defens
ive. It is understood that when it is
i.naily decided to give the treaty out, it
wiil be accompanied by the draft of the
conventiou as it came to the senate, so
that a comparison may be made between
the treaty as ratiued and the one upon
which the senate acted. Accompanying
this will also appear the correspondence,
lor it is understood the state department
has given its consent to the publication of
the messages that vassed between the rep
resentatives of the contracting powers.
The most recent treaty previously made
by this government bearing upon the ex
tradition oi criminals was that with Bel
gium in 18& S. That contains a clause, said
by the senators to be almost identical with
"the political clause 'of ttie treaty under
discussion. Political clauses are not at all
rare in treaties made by txie United States,
for trom the cany days the right of asy
lum has been protected in all the conven
tions negotiated.
Owing to the rigid discipline and strict
frontier surveillance in llussia, it was
pointed out on the fl K>r of ttie senate that
extradition to Belgium and Russia under
treaties of precisely the same wording
meant two vastly different things. Dur
ing this debate it was brought forcibly to
the attention of the senate by one of the
leading constitutional lawyers of the
South thai this country had at one time
a&ed for and secured the extradition of a
man charged with what might have,
un J*r such a treaty, been called a "politi
cal oflense." lie referred to the arrest of
John H. Surrat, implicated in the con
spiracy which resulted in the Assassina
tion of Lincoln. Sorrat tied to Egypt and
joined the army of the khedive; thence to
Rome, where he became one of the papal
Louaves. He was recognized by a citizen
of Baltimore, who notified this eov
ernment of bis whereabouts. Upon
application to the pope, who then
enjoyed temporal power in Italy,
Surrat was sent to this country and tried.
A prominent Republican senator who bad
been pronounced in bis opposition to the
ratification of this treaty makes the state
ment that the new treaty, not only with
Russia, but that with France, bears a sem
blance of a deliberate effort to bolster up
or at least strengthen the cause of the
United States in certain delicate diplo
matic negotiations now in progress, lie
continued:
In other words, we purchased oar present
Bering seal fisheries of Russia, and under these
treatise our differences with England are about
to be settled by a high court of arbitration at
the capital of a nation which is a party to
another treaty and baa also named one of the ar
bitrators. It looks very much to me like a de
liberate attempt to violate the righta of human
liberty and return human beings into what is
worse than slavery m order to protect a lew
ins Is
The president today sent to the senate
the following nominations:
Ambasaador extraordinary and minister pleni
potentiary to Great Britain, Thomas F. Bayard.
Minister*—J. D. Porter, of Tennessee, to Chile;

John L Hall, of Georgia, aasistant attorney
general, vice George H. shields, resigned.
Ex-Secretary Bayard's nomination as

ately confirmed by the senate without
reference. The senate also confirmed the

fornia, as attorney of the United States
southern district of California.
WILMINGTON, Del., March 30.— Thomas
F. Bayard says his appointment as am
bassador to Great Britain was not unex
pected and that he will probably accept
the honor.

WASHISGTO* CITY, March 30.—The de
bate yesterday started on the question of
the right to seats in the senate of persons
appointed by the governors of Montana,
Washington and Wyoming, was resumed
this morning, Mitchell, of Oregon, making
a legal and constitutional argument
against the report of the committee on
privileges and elections, which declares
them entitled to seats. After Senator
Mitchell closed his speech, Senator Turpie
obtained the floor. The matter then went
over. Senator Turpie having the floor

an executive session the senate adjourned
until Monday.
IMFKACBING NEBRASKAOFFICIAI.iI
Investigation Commission Recommends
That Prosecutions Begin.
LINCOLN, Neb., March 80.—Impeachment
proceedings against three state officials
and two ex-officials are at last in full blast.
Today the advisory commission on im
peachment reported to the house that all
the evidence had been read and that it waa
the unanimous opinion of three eminent
lawyers that impeachment proceedings
would lie against every member of the
state board of public lands and buildings,
and in justice to the state that such pro
ceedings should be at once instituted. The
report was adopted by the house this after
noon, and the senate at once, on being
notified, entered into joint convention at 4
o'clock to prepare articles of impeachment.
After the adoption of the report favoring
impeachment, Barry offered a resolution
instructing the committee to go ahead and
take evidence regarding other officials and
ex-officials whose names do not appear in
the recommendation for impeachment.
This is obviously aimed at ex-Auditor
Benton. The resolution was adopted.
Those who are to be impeached include
Secretary of State Allen, Attorney-General
Hastings and Commissioner of Public
Lands and Buildings Humphrey. The
commission reporting was composed of
representative attorneys from the Repub
lican, Democratic and Independent par
ties, chosen by party caucuses and mem
bers of the legislature.

LIVERPOOL, March 30. —The officials of

cattleman." signed to the message, they
say no such person was aboard the vessel
and that it is improbable that the bottle
was thrown from the vessel from the fur

it was found.

PA HIS, March 30.— The government was
defeated by a narrow margin in the cham
ber of deputies today and another cabinet
crisis is the result. The crisis arose
through the submission to the chamber of
the report of the budget committee. Lock
roy announceujthat the committee was re
solved to send the budget back to the sen
ate in the form which it originally passed
the deputies. The senate, he added, had
suppressed all the reform lawa passed by
the chamber. The chamber then pro*
ceeded to discuss the clauses rejected by
the senate amendments, including the bill
amending the liquor laws. Tirard de
clared that these must be separated from
the budget, as the senate proposed, other
wise, he said, the government would be
obliged to ask for a vote on their account.
Ribot supported Tirard and urged the
chamber to agree with the senate. On a
division, the chamber decided by a
vote of 247 to 242, to retain the
liquor law amendment bill as a part
of the budget. When the vote
was announced Premier Ribot adjourned
the session until 9 o'clock this evening in
order to give nim and his fellow ministers
time to consider their position. After a
lengthy consultation the ministers pro
ceeded to the Eiysee and tendered their
resignations to President Carnot. The
president urged them to reconsider their
determination. Arguments were in vain,
however, and the ministers insisted that
their resignations must be accepted. At
9:15 o'clock the deputies reassembled. All
outward signs of a cabinet crisis were ap
parent in the crowded galleries and among
the animated groups on the floor. When
Cassimir Perier took the chair all the
ministerial places were vacant, but a
moment later Tirard, minister of finance,
announced in a few words that the cabinet
had resigned, but had been charged by
President Carnot to carry on the affairs of
state for a short period. He would there
fore ask the chamber for a vote on account
to cover the next two months. The
chamber referred the report to the budget
committee and then took a recess.
At 10 o'clock, the hour set for reassem
bling, not a chaw* in the whole house was
vacant, and hundreds who could not gain
attendance were waiting at the entrance
to get the earliest possible news of the
proceedings. The disorder, which the
president was unable to quiet, was hushed
the moment Lockroy stepped to ifr*
tribune to announce the decision of the
budget committee. In a few words he an
nounced that the committee felt it to be
inexpedient to grant the request made by
Tirard for two months' supplies, but
would recommend a vote covering one
month from the present time. Shouts of
approval greeted the statement. A brief
discussion followed on one side, as the
difference of opinion in the chamber was
practically concerned only in the question
whether supplies should be voted for one
month or not at all. Eventually the re
port of the committee was adopted by a
vote of 504 to 5, and the chamber ad
journed until Tuesday. It is rumored
that Develle, minister of foreign affairs in
the Ribot cabinet, will be asked by Presi
dent Carnot to form a ministry.
BERING SEA CASK.
Cssea And Counter Cases of United
United States an<l Britain Submitted.
BERLIN, March SO. —The cases and coun
ter cases of the United States and Great
Britain nnder the treaty to arbitrate the
Bering sea difficulties between the two
countries, were simultaneously sent to
the United States senate today and to the
house of parliament in London. Briefly
stated the case of the United States is:
That all tbe right* of Kussia in renpect to the
seal fisheries in Be; in* sea, as to the water
boundary established by tbe treaty of March 30,
1867, between that nation and the United States,
and all the power and authority possessed and
asserted by Russia to protect said rights, passed
unimpaired to tbe United States under that
treaty; that the United States have such
property and Interest in the Alas
kan seal herd as to ju*tify the employment
by that nation upon the high seas of such
menus as are Reasonably necessary to preveot
the destruction of such herd, to secure tbe
possession and benefit of the same to tne
United States, snd all acts and proceedings of
the United Slates doue aud had for the purpose
of protecting such property; and that compen
sation should be made to the United btaies by
Great Britain by the payment of the amount of
losses by the United States, or such other sum
as may be deemed to be Just.
Tbe case of Great Britain, on the other
hand, in Bering sea, is that it is an open
sea, in which all nations have the right to
fish. It is asserted that:
Great Britain has throughout been favorably
disposed to the adoption of such general
measures for the control of the fur seal fish
eries, should these be found to be neoesisry, as
are desirable with a view to the protection of
lur ».eels, provided such measures be equitable
and framed on just grounds, and the commou
interest and adhesion of other powers be se
cured as a guarantee of their continued and im
partial executions.
Roth parties filed claims for damages,
the United States for losses to its revenue
and on account of losses to the Alaskan
Commercial Company because of the re
dared number of skins taken owing to the
diminution of the herd by pelagic sealing
of British vessels, and Great Britain on ac
count of losses to owners of vessels seized
by the United States.

TH* SAN DOMINGO AFFAIR.
Story of the Trouble That Led to Inter,
ference by French Naval Commander.
NKW YORK, March 30.— The Clyde line
steamer Saginaw arrived from San Do
mingo this morning. The passengera
bring news of the arrest of the president
of San Domingo by French naval officer*
in San Domingo City. According to the
story the president had taken $62,000 from
the French bank, the manager of which
called upon two French cruisers lying in
the harbor to prevent the escape of the
president to Monte Cristo, whither he waa
about to start to quell an insurrection.
The president's sudden descent upon the
bank was the outcome of a legal suit be
tween him and some of the French resi
dents involving the payment of money.
The case was sent to a higher court for
judgment, but apparently this waa delayed
too long to suit the president, so he ordered
out the militia with instructions to seize
whatever French gold they could tind.
The soldiers proceeded to the bank on
March 14, tore down the doors, blew open
the vaults and carried off ftf\uuO in cash.
The French commander on the cruiser waa
apprised of the outrage and sent an armed
force ashore, which captured the president
as he was about to proceed to Monte
Cristo, a place on the Dominican and
Haitian borders. The president was held
in custody and word sent to France regard
ing the affair. Another French cruiser ia
on the way to San Domingo City with
instructions as to how the case ia to be
disposed of.
The Cholera Situation.
WASHINGTON City, March TO.—The cable
grams announcing that choiera existed in
Austria and Russia do not create any
alarm in official circles here. ]No official
confirmation of the news has been re
ceived, but the government is prepared
for any ordinary emergency that may
arise.
HALIFAX, March 30.—Dr. Wyckwire,
port officer, and Dr. McDowell, represent
ing the United States government here,
telegraphed the Beaver Steamship line in
New ork this evening that its steamer
Lake Superior left here with a clean bill of
health and none of the immigrants had
cholera or any other contagions disease.
ST. PETEESBCBO, March 30.— Cholera has
again appeared in this city and it is known
that fatal cast's are of daily occnrrence. It
is thought the authorities will not resume
the policy of last year of making a regular
daily announcement of the new cases
and deaths. All news it suppressed. There
are disquieting rumors as to the situation
in the interior. The sanitary stations in
the Volga provinces, where the disease ere
ated great ravages last year, have been re
opened. Special steamers, with sanitary
officers on board, cruise the Volga to pick
HP cholera patienta. It la believed the
government has grave secret information.

LITTI.* ROCK, Ark., March 80.— Sheriff
White, of Conway county, who went to
Butte, Mont., with a requisition for the
alleged assassin of John M. Clayton, tele
graphed to the Daily Gazette as follows:
1 find that the evidence against Hickey Is

man here and one other hired a conveyance at
the livery stable in Conway and drove to Plum
