Special Dispatch to New York Star. Pittsburg, Pa., April 30 On the occasion of the Aniericus banquet last Saturday night, Congressman Bayne Decarae so exniiarateu mat lie was un able to collect himself when he was called upon to respond to the toast. "Hie Ways and Means, on which committee he held such a prominent position. It was also observed that the private secretary of Postmaster-General YVan amaker, who attended its his represent ative, was so absorbed with the popping of corks that he became enthusiastic enough to take a hand in a game of draw poker ear y Sunday morning at the Seventh Avenue Hotel, at whicl the cards did not run in his favor, it was not until to-uay that it was disclosed that durimr these hours "of revelry, important political feerets were revealed. The Americas Club is emphatically a Quay organization, but numbers among its members not a few adherents of Chris M:;gee, of whom Congressman Dalzell is one of the most prominent. It was with some of these faithful followers of Magee, while some" out siders were present, that Frank Willing Leaclr, the private secretary and facto tum of the chairman of the National Republican Committee, became involv ed in a heated argument soon after the close of the banquet. In such company the conversation nitunillv drifted to Quay's leadership of the party, and then the Magee man became indignant and loudly proclaim ed that Quay had sacrificed the organi zation for the sake of one point, and that was that as the next House of Representatives would sorely be over whelmingly Democratic, he foresaw the signs of disaster. The chairman was thus, according to common report, the House in such shaoe that anv measure can be rushed through when ever and in as short time us may be necessary. u The Senate has still to be fixed, and that is why Chandler introduced his resolution for the new rules a few days ago. Morton has gone awsiy, and will not be back until the battle is over. With Ingalls inthc chair, and the im proved rules in force, the measure can be rushed through, if the republicans are solid, and right there is the only stumbling block. There are a few old fogies in the Senate like Edmunds, Blair, and Evarts, who kick at every thing which is not done according to precedent and tradition. But they must be forced into line. The salvation of the party demands it. The apportionment bill is not all of the plan, however, and special sessions of the legislature in certain States will be called under directions from the National Committee to so redistrict for Congressional purposes us to make good most of the increased opportu nities. It will be of no use for the demo crats to attempt to follow this line of action, for, with the exception of one or two States, they will find a decided decrease, and not an increase, to deal with. WEST VIRGINIA CAPTURED. 'ow," asks the speaker triumph antly, " what do you think about the next- Congress? and, of course, the same situation applies to the electoral vote, there is one State, usuallv call ed southern, by the way, to which the census scheme does not apply. That is West V irgir.ia. It is surely republican in 1892. In he last two years Steve Elkins, through his land, coal and "railroad companies, iras introduced four thousand new vo ters into the State. It was made the first condition of their employment that they should be tried and true republicans. West Vir ginia will vote for the next republican cadidate for President beyoud all pos sibility for dispute. Clean st-s the litai Passages; lUtTs Pain and Inflammation, Hears the Sores.

It is called to hike official ac- I tion upon plans which were perfected The South's Opportunity. Manufacturers' Record. An international exhibition is to be held in London, the coming summer, that will be unique. The Crystal Pal ace at Sydenham, will be ttie place. The scope will cover all ores, all metal, all machines, and all appliances used in mining, in reducing, and in smelting. The prospectus says : "An international exhibition of min ing und metallurgy on an extensive scale will take place in London during the summer of 1800, and arrangements have been made with the Crystal Palace Co., whereby the exhibition will be held at the Crystal Palace, Sydenham. The scope of the exhibition will be suf ficiently wide to enable a most valuable and interesting display to be made. "Immense advances have of late years taken place in mining and metal lurgical practice, and no wholly suit able opportunity has presented itself, or been taken advantage of, for ad equately illustrating the degree of pro gress which has been attained. This remark especially applies to metallif erous mining, and to the economical treatment of refractory ores, for the recovery of precious metals. More over, it will be readily admitted that at no previous period has mining as aimed such a degree of importance, whether it be regarded as an industry, a profes sion, or a vehicle for speculation and investment. A little consideration will suffice to emphasize the expression, which will doubtless have occurred to many, that an international exhibition of mining and metallurgy, conducted CUKE.

Leach stopped a moment and then abruptly asked his companion, " Who is taking this census, anyway ?" " Robert P. Porter and his assistants, I suppose," replied Mr. Leach's com panion. ki Yes, and you can rest assured that the census will be taken right," was the speedy answer. "What do you sup pose Quay spent all those weeks in Florida for tarpon fishing ? Well, liardlv, let me tell you " (and here his voice became at once emphatic am 'mysterious) "that a southern negro will have to be very conspicuous to' be counted in the census this year." " What do yon mean ? " A NEW SYSTEM OF COUNTING. "dust what I say. I lie census enumerators will , discover -very, few . 1 A -r southern negroes this year, ion can see in a moment the important result of this. Weexnectto have the cen sus com Dieted bv June 20. thanks to an amendment to the laws proposed on the subiect by Sunset Cox. "The certificate of Superintendent Porter is till that Congress needs to take action for a new apportionment by our system of counting. We expect the southern States to loose at least ighteen or twenty Representatives, if the negro is not counted at the poll He shall not be in the count. "The northwestern States will gain inst about the same proportion that the southern -oties will lose, aiinue sota will get three or four more Con cressmen, and Kansas and Nebraska perhaps a half dozen each, not to speak ot the UaUotas ana tr.e rest ot.inem. " But can such action be forced through Congress at the eleventh hour, against all precedent ?" exclaimed his listeners in astonishment. "It can, and easily, too. You see. this is not a hasty scheme.. It was de cided upon as soon as it was found that the democrats would restrict Ohio. The McComas1 bill will not be passed, as it cloes not cover the exigencies of the ea PART OF A GREAT SCHEME. " There is need for more radieaKac- tion. Everything that has been done in Congress" so inr continued Mr. Leach, " has been fart of a great plan. With it-ed and his rul we now have CLEVELAND TO BE ATTACKED. ' That is the one feature of the plan. The actual work of the next presiden tial campaign is already .well under way. It looks as though Cleveland will be again the democratic candidate, and Quay now has in his possession personal ammunition against the ex P reside lit which will eclipse all pre vious attacks. "Some of this may even be used at an carlv date it these bitter upon Quay aie not stopped." This is the substance of the conver sation, given iu almost the language used. Summed up it means that the census enumerators are to close their eyes in the South and see double in the Northwest. The census is to be com pleted in a shorter time than ever be- ore, and the new apportionment rush ed through Congress immediately there after. The republican committee meeting of May 7th is called to duly authorize this course, so that any insurrectionists in either branch of Congress may be forced into line by liberal use of the arly lash. Parrot anl Bat. on a sound and independent basis, is not only eminently desirable, but is ad mirably calculated to promote the best interests of legitimate mining and scientific metallurgy. " The space available for the pur poses of the exhibition will admit ofi an extensive and representative display of articles embraced within the scope of this prospectus being brought to gether iu one comprehensive collection. Every effort will be made to render the exhibition of real practical an l educa tive service to those professionally en gaged in the various branches of the mining and metallurgical industries, as well as to the general public, amongst whom so much uncertain knowledge exists regarding them. It is als bof- lieved that the "locale ' of the exhibi tion will prove a happy ope. The dis tinctive features of the exhibit on will be continually supplemented by the varied round ot attractions tor which the Crystal Palace has obtained a world wide celebrity, while the natural beauty attacks anu picturesque surroundings of the unique structure rentier it amongst uie most delightful of summer resort with in easy access of the metropolis. " The classification and dispostion of the exhibits will receive careful atten tion in order to facilitate their inspec tion by the public. Collections of mi nerat specimens, cases and samples of manufactured articles, samples of ores and minerals in bulk, models, ma chinery and mechanical appliances of a light character, maps aud plans, &c, will be placed iu the corridors and gal leries devoted to the purposes of the exhibition, and the heavier machinery in motion and the heavy exhibits gen erally will be locatetl in the spacious basement and iu the annex to be spe cially erected for their accommodation at the north end of the palace. Steam We shall again call attention to this important matter. We are assured that exhibits from the South will be gladly received, and th at they will be located where they can be displayed to the greatest advantage. k who wish to learn more difiuite ly about this enterprise, and the cost of making an exhibit, should address, without delay, Geo.

A REVIEW OF THEIR BAD PRACTICES. The sub-committee appointed) from the House judiciary committee to in vestigate the alleged irregularities in bhe district courts of the United States are uncovering very interesting facts, showing the fraudulent and unlawful manner in which district court proceedings arc conducted. This sub committee, consisting of Represntitives Thorn oson, of Ohio (chairman); Mc Comick, of Pennsylvania, and 6ate, of Alabama, has held several meetings at which testimony in the main taken from the rgeords on file in the Treasury Department has been introduced and considered. An extensive report signed by Geo. P. Fisher, the First Auditor, which, sums up and classifies the irregularities has been a United States District At torney and was United States District Judge here in W ashington for a num ber of years.

He pictured with blood-curdling viv idness the way the terrapin would re spond to the constantly increasing tem perature of the water stretching forth its long, ugly head and searching, seemingly, for some means of escape. Next the listening guests saw the shell float off, and the scalding process b'g.m in deadly earnest.

At last the terrapin, reduced to sweet strings aud juicy par ticles, was turned into a great chafing dish and carried to the dining room, where the waiting company saw it placed before the hostess, in an old-time lace cap and wonderfully embroidered iipron. The little lamp beneath the dish was then lighted. In a few moments the guardian angel began the season ing, with a sprinkle ot this, a dash of that and a generous pour of some ven erable Madeira.

Fowle yesterday sent a full statement to lion. Fred. J. Credlen, British Consul at Charleston, and to Secretary of State James G.

Fowle, says that as a result of Solicitor Long's investigation the following facts in regard to the matter 1 -11 L I 1 I. .1 .

That Joiner made a verbal complaint to two local officers, neither of whom had any juris diction to made judicial inquiry. He could give no information by which fie alleg. d offenders could be identiCe l. Joiner has never made complaint to any officer or court that has jurisdic tion in such offenses. Such officers and courts have no information in the iiinllpr nor have thev the means of ......... . , - j ! acquiring it. The assault, it any, was ! probably provoked by the conduct of Joiner, conduct calculated to alarm and provoke the community in whkh h I resided. Joiner, while in Raleigh, made no effort to bring the matter to j attention of the Attorney General. .The Attorney General adds that So!iii- tor Long's high chamater entitles the I above conclusions to full faith and credit.

To prove the frivolus character of the proceedings it is shown that the District Attorney during nineteen months was employed only seventy-two days in government business, earning over 12,000. Dur ing this period the government collect ed about $1,000 in fines, but paid to these very defendants $10,000 for witness fees, each defendant being a witness in tiie other c:ises.

Hundreds of people gazed on the glnr oiis spectacle, the like of which the ohhst inhabitant hits never seen. The effect was height tied by the darkness of the night which rendered the oat lines of the mount tins invisible. The illusion was rendered all the more striking from the fact that the baud of fire for all its miles of length was about the same width, except on the southern end, where it assumed the form of a serpent's head.
