Special Despatch to The Morning Post. Washington, D. C-, Dec. 21. Senator Pritchard paid a visit to the President today, akmg with' a great crowd of poli ticians, Congressmen and office-hunters generally. . When he emerged from the White House he was the only man who wore a smiling countenance, and it is said he Was the only one who obtained what he wanted. Certain it is that he was the only one of the Senators or Con gressmen who called that did -not return again in the afternoon to renew their requests for the- appointments of favor ites to office. It is stated that Senator Pritchard also discussed the question of civil service with the President. The result is not actually known, but there is a rumor current here today that the President is weakening on the strong pro-civil ser vice stand he took at the beginning of his term of office, though the friends of Civil Service Reform bitterly deny it, and ask vainly for actual proof of such a report.

By Telegraph to The Morning Port. Washikoton, Dec. 21. It is evidently the purpose of Speaker Reed and the powers that rule the House to give the Banking and Currency Committee, of which Mr. Walker is chairman, a chance to grapple with the financial legislative problem. ' The Speaker, however, has little faith in the possibility of getting Gage's measure very far '"along the road towards the statute books. If nothing comes, how ever, of Gage's plan or any other meas ure, emanating from this committee, Dingley, after a time, will bring in a bill, separating the fiscal from the issue-and-redeiiiptiou branches of the Treas ury, and also the one relating to bonds.

There are signs that the Banking and Currency Committee will come nearer to agreeing upon it than upon Gage's, aud it is probable that the Speaker will also feel more favorably inclined towards it, on the ground that the Senate cannot be made to do any thing with the Gage plan.

It Was the Ptlnclpal Topic of Discussion witn president's Advisers Today. By Telegraph to Th Morning Post. Washington, Dec. 21. Civil Service reform was the principal subject dis cussed at the meeting of the Cabinet to day. Talk was occasioned by a resolu tion which passed the Senate last week, requesting each member of the Cabinet to indicate whether there was any ap pointive places in his department which Should be included in the classified ser vice, and whether he would recommend any modifications, on this account, in the civil service regulations. Each member of, the Cabinet made a general statement to the President re garding the character of his answer to be made to the Senate. The result was- a practical agreement that only a few changes in regulations should be recom mended. Secretary of Treasury Gage is expect ed to recommend a change in reference to the status of Deputy Collectors of In ternal Revenue, a controversy with ref erence to which' is now pending. He said that the President believes a majority of Republicans in Congress are in favor of the maintenance of the present sjs- tem, without radical amendment. Ine Cabinet meeting today strengthened the belief, however, that Mr. McKinley will order some small modifications in the rules, but that they will be very slight and not calculated to enthuse the "antis to any great extent. A BIG DEMOCRATIC VICTORY MORE FUNNY TALK About Another Possible-Match Between Fltz and Corbett. Bv Telegraph to The Morning Post New Yoiik, Dec. 21. Pugilist Corbett had a long confab with Dan Stewart to day. He asked Stuart to go with him to Chicago and confer with Fitzsimmons, as he was confident that Fitz would ac cept one of the several propositions he had to make to bring about another fight between the two men. If Stuart would not go, he said he would go alone. He did not intend to have any trouble with Fitz, and if Fitz finally determined not to light he would be satisfied. . Stuart expects to hear from Fitz to morrow, and if the news is encouraging he will go with Corbett. Corbett de clined tonight to state what the several propositions he had to make were.

Removal to New York City invitations and Advances Have Been Made to Him But an "Unknown" Tammany Chief Disapproves of the Proposition. New York, Dec 21. The Washing ton correspondent of the Commercial Advertiser sends that paper the follow ing special, concerning the proposal which it is understood certain leadin: Tanimanyites have made to Senator Gorman to loc ate in New i oi k when his term as Senator expires: It was said today by a Tammany Con gressman that there was no truth in the statement that Senator Gorman had been asked by "many" of the Tammany lead ers to cast his political lot among them. This Congressman added that neither Senator Gorman nor any other man from the outside could come into New York Democratic politics and expect to be given any consideration of. conse quence, no matter what his ability or his reputation might be, until he had passed a period of probation. As fiovernor of Maryland. The evidences are apparent that Mr. Gorman is looking" closely to see if he cannot discover a new political opening It is too long for him to wait the four years Ik? fore another Senatorial election in Maryland rolls around. This is why suggestions have been made that Mr. Gorman should run for the House of Representatives next year and for Gov i ernor the year after. It is now an understood thing among those who are intimate with him that he does not intend to get out of polities. One of the most influential of the Dem ocratic county leaders of Maryland who was here last week said he had conclu sive proof of this, and of the intention of the Senator to hold on to the Demo cratic organization. ";But," said he, "I have gone as far as I can for Mr. Gorman, and am hence forth determined to labor steadily to win back the independent vote, for that is the only way we can succeed." The Supposed "Opening" In New York. It is understood that there has been talk of Mr. Gorman becoming connected with the trust and building corporation which expects at one bound to jump into an enormously profitable business m NeV York under Tammany's advent to office. Such a position would not inter fere, of course, with his Maryland citi zenship, and at the same time it might be made a sort of Tammany novitiate for him. At any rate, whatever may be in the political future for Mr. Gorman, all those who are on the ground here dis cern that he is as active and alert as ever, and if he loses a point in the game It will not be from his neglect.

An unconfirmed report is current here that part of the British Far Eastern squadron will be stationed at Wei-IIai-Wei this winter If true, this indicatefc that Great Britain is working With Japan. The latter still occupies that place, pending pay ment of thfe Chinese war indemnity. The officials of the Chinese Embassy here do not conceal the belief that the Powers are intending to seize Ckinese ports, and they discredit the report that Great Britain has been requested to as sume a protectorate over the Yang-Te valley, and the West River, saying that they have no information on the sub ject, and would know if the tumor wore true. Sir Halliday McArtncy, the Eng lish Secretary of the Chinese Embassy, was asked today if Russia!s possession of Port Arthur would be temporary, and he replied that this plea was usually made a pretext for occupation. The evening newspapers are mutrii disturbed over the situation. "What do we get ? " is the burden of their com plaint, and they all insist upon the ne cessity for immediate action. The Globe says: ''Russia and Germany now have the two most important stragetical positions in northern China, and Great Britain, whose commercial interests there are ten times greater, and who must be content with the crumbs from -the St. Petersburg The Pall Mall Gazette echoes the Standard's inquiry as to America's atti tude, and says: "Of course the parti tion of the coast which is bound to come will not be confined to Russia and f!i.mianv F.verv naval State in the world is actively concerned in the dis turbance of the equilibrum in the Far tiast. Great Britain, France, and Japan especially. But the United Mates can not be treated as a quantity to be ig nored. Tame acquiescence" w ith these seizures is not worthy of our past, and is fatal to our future. We may remark that we shall not be without sympa thizers, as the Japanese will most joy fully back any sc heme to redress tho bit ter humiliation they have suffered at the hands of Russia." Advices received here from Paris j show that France is awaiting Gn,'at Britain's action. If Great Britain fol lows the lead of Russia and Germany and occupies a seaport, France will forwith follow suit. St. PKTEKsrsL Ko, Dec. 20. The No vosti declares the occupation of Port Arthur has nothing political behind it, adding: "It must be a matter of indif ference to the Powers who are not planj ning seizures of Chinese territory as to which point the Russian squadron chooses for its winter station." Perry Smith Brained Alex Stuart 4 With an Axe Yesterday. There was a murder In Wake county yesterday. Perry Smith brained Alex Stuart with an axe in St. Mary'a township, one taile East of Garner about 2 o'clock In the af ternoon. Both are colored. A woman, who won the affections of both men, was the origin of the trouble. The two negroes met yesterday at the home of Ella Winter and ' there A they became engaged in a quarrel about the woman. Stuart was the ag- ' gressor and he became so enraged that -he pulled out his knife and threatened -Smith's life. The latter took flight and ran through the house, with Stuart close on his heels. The two chased around the house and then through again. When ' they emerged the second time Smith fell . to the ground and Stuart lit on top of him. Smith managed to' squirm from under his assailant and made to a wood pile where he seized an axe with which to defend himself. "Do not come towards me; if you do, ril kill you," cried the frightened man. But Stuart started aggressively to wards the man with the uplifted axe. Smith again repeated bis threat, but Stuart did hot falter, and the former struck him over the forehead with the uplifted axe. He repeated the blow while Stuart was falling to the ground. The skull was crushed both times, and , death resulted almost instantly. Smith did not attempt to get away. He was placed under arrest, and is in custody at Garner, where a preliminary. hearing will be had today at ten o clock. The prisoner will be brought here this afternoon; if not discharged, Mr. E. II. Rand, of Oaraer, kindly furnished Tub Post with the particu lars of the killing. The opinion in the community is that Smith was justified in illing Stewart. There were several wit nesses of the tragedy. The dead man had a brother in this ity, Len Stuart, who works with!.. II.

Nestor Aranguren and a high ofice to Aranguren's father, who is now In the United States. Blanco gave pledges in the letter that both promises would be fulfilled immediately after the return of Aranguren to Havana with Col. Ruix. The letter extended a similar offer to Col. Raoul Arango if Aranguren, after accepting terms, should use his influence with his friend Arango to that end. Blanco and staff were talking at din ner three weeks ago about the failure of the former in his attempt at bribery, and Ruiz volunteered to make another at tempt. Next day Ruiz repented, but it was too late to withdraw, and went to his death. Two Commissioners Hanaed at Santiago. News is circulating here that General Jesus Rabi, second in command of the Insurgent army in Santiago de Cuba, hanged two Commissioners sent to him by Pando with offer of autonomy and a large bribe if he would surrender. One of the guides was released and sent back to Pando with a letter from Rabi, in which the Cuban commander said: "If you think our law sentencing to death those who come to us from the Spanish authori ties with such proposals does t-Jjr.'?.n what it says, you will now be vinced to the contrary.
