Washington, Sept. 28, 1894. At every roundup of the information received by Chairman Babcock, of the republican congressional campaign com mittee, the indications point to a larger republican majority in the next' house. According to the latest figures made by Chairman Babcock the next house will be composed of 200 republicans, 147 democrats and 9 populists, and 28 of the state delegations will be controlled by republicans. These figures are consid ered by those who are familiar with the information upon which they are based to be very conservative, only those dis tricts being put down in the republican column which appear to be reasonably certain to go republican. For instance, the republicans only claim eleven mem bers from Illinois, where many well-in formed persons believe they will elect a larger number,'' and where the demo cratic committee, in a published esti mate, concedes the election of thirteen republicans. It is just the same with New York, Mr. Babcock only claims nineteen, while New Yorkers who come to Washington say that at least twenty two and possibly twenty-four republicans'" will be sent to the next house. Considerable amusement was caused in Washington by the attempt of demo crats to appear - surprised at Senator Hill's nomination for goveyior of New York by the democratic convention, when they knew perfectly well that the whole programme was cut and dried from the day that Hill and Murphy com pelled Flower to withdraw as a candi date. Hill has recognized for some time that this campaign was a life and death struggle with , him, with the chances in tavor of death. "But he concluded," saye one of his close friends, that he preferred making the run for governor himself and taking the chances of being supported by the Cleveland democrats, to allowing a Cleveland man to be nominated and then be held res ponsible for his defeat, by democrats outside of New York. He fully realizes the desperate condition the- democratic party of New York is in, but does not. believe that it will hurt him politically to be defeated ; while he knows that it would make him the biggest man in the democratic party should he by some hook or crook succeed in being elected governor." Lockwood was put on the ticket to catch the Cleveland democrats, but if those in New York are not easier to be caught than those in Washington the catch will be small. Mr. Cleveland has before now proven himself to be no better than the average man when it comes to dealing with his personal ene mies, and he would have to be very much better if he really wished to see Dave Hill elected governor of New York at this time. The belief that Levi P. Morton' will be the next governor of New York has grown stronger, if possi ble, since Hill was nominated by the democrats, and it isn't confined to re publicans, either. By its notice that the reciprocity treaty with the United States would cease to be operative on January 1, 1895, Brazil puts on record its disapproval, of the democratic idea of abrogating treaties, regardless of their stipulations, by act of congress. It was provided in this treaty that it might be abrogated by either gov ernment provided a notice to that effect were served upon the other three months prior to the first of January or the first of July of any year. Notwithstanding that the democrats in congress by a provision in the tariff bill abrogated all reciprocity treaties-, except that with Ha waii, without an hour's notice. It was a clever bit of diplomacy on the part of Brazil to decline taking any official notice of the abrogation of the treaty by con gress, and instead to give notice of its own intention to abrogate it in accor dance with its terms, although to do it American goods shipped to Brazil will have to be admitted under the recip rocity treaty until January 1, 1895, while Brazilian shipments to the U. S. have been-deprived of reciprocity advantages since Aug 28, last. Don Dickenson has landed another fat office by the appointment of Gen; W. W. Duffield, of Detroit, Superintendent of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey to succeed Dr. T. C. Mendenhall, who has been connected with the survey for many years, and whose resignation was recently asked for. General Duffield is a very nice gentleman and one of the few democrats who can truthfully boast of a brilliant war record upon the Union side, but it is because he was Don Dicken son's man that he gets this $6,000 a year plum, and not because of his war record, nor yet because of his possessing the necessary scientific qualifications to suc cessfully administer the duties of the position. ' -Cab. The O. B. & N., Wage Schedule Case. This afternoon in the petit jury-room, third floor of the lederal court build ing, commenced the taking of testimony of the employes of the O. R. & N. Co., relative to the wage schedule prom ulgated by Receiver McNeil. The cor ridors o ths building were crowded by railway men all the forenoon, the im pression having gained ground that the taking of testimony would commence in the morning. It was 1:30 o'clock, however, before any move was made. At that hour a large number of chairs ' were taken to the jury-room, and soon even standing room was at a premium. Miss Flem ing, official stenographer, was on hand with a large stock of paper, and the em ployes of the company were represented by Attorney John M. Gearin. Attor neys Cox and Cotton appeared for Re ceiver McNeil. The taking of testimony will occupy several days, and after the shorthand notes are extended the proceedings will be placed before Judge Bellinger for re view. . The object of these proceedings is to secure, if possible, . an order from the court more favorable to the employes of the O. R. & N. Co., regarding Receiver McNeil's wage schedule. Judge Cald well, of the United States circuit court at Omaha, it will be remembered, held that the receiver had no right to change the wage schedule in affect at the time of his appointment without an order of the court. Judge Bellinge, on the other hand, held that the receiver being the managing power of the company, and not the court, had this prerogative, It is by making a proper showing that the employes now seek to have the court here adhere to the opinion of Judge Caldwell. - "I would rather trust that medicine than any "doctor I know of," Says Mrs. Hattie Mason of Chilton, Carter county, Mo., in speaking of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
