One of the sections of the bffl provides that no person related within the ioerse of flnt cousin to a judge of the United State* shall be nppofnteJ by such judge to any pos tion in his court, and that my person so related, who hoU* soo.i office, shall not continue in office after six months from the passage of the act. Some discus•ion arose on the last clause, which won d 'egislate out of office the relatives now in •office. Mr. Edmunds was willing that such appointments should not be made in futnrs, but thought it would work great hardship and injustice to legislate them out of office, and moved to strike out that clause.

Chicago, Jan. 15.—Investigations made by tju city po ice, private detectives and other persons have disclosed that the Anarch!-it* of this city hare been manufacturing dynamite bombs and experimenting with other infernal machines, for the purpose, as they declare, of destroying the militia and blowing up the large public building! when the ''great 1-avolution" begins. At the time an infernal piachine was rrund on Judge Tree's premises, about three weeks ago, it was suggested that it had,bean placed there by Socialists, and migbt be the opening move of a dynamite warfare on wealthy property owners. When it was made known that a similar explosive had been left in thf. building occupied by the Chicago, Burlington and Qulncy general offioes, some peop e asserted it to be the second gun of the dynamite at'ack. An investigation was begot into the character of the two sn-ploious machines and the doings of the Chicago Socialists. It was asserted that the Socialists and trades unions had joined hands to carry by force the strike for the eight'hour law on May L Week before that the metal workers voted funds to arm themselv'ei, and a week ago Tuesday the cabinetmakers set aside onehalf of their entire surplus for the purchase of Winchester rifles. The Socialists boast th it they have over 9,030 bombs loaded and distributed in the bands of trusty persons. The Socialistic brotherhood has an organ printed in the German ianzuage which, week after week, disseminates incendiary ideas, while from its Job press circulars and mips are issued describing the s reels, sewers and tunnels of the city, and giving instructions in street warfare, and in the of explosives.Chicago. Jan. 15.—Silas McCloon, one of the four Deer island convicts who were pardoned at Boston title week for heroism in reecuing the remnant, of-tha- crfw of the wracked schooner Juliet, off Winthrop's point, has had a romantic career, according to a hi tory of his life, which Is published here. McCloonV father was a wealthy merchant and shipbuilder of Rockland, Ma, and, was worth at least $1 500 000 at ihe time of his death. The inheritance was divided between the mother, two daughters and the son, ha receiving in accordance with :he provisions in the will one-third c( be whole fortune. The residue was equally divided among the otae- heirs. One at the daughters, soon after the disposition of the. estate, married an ex-lieutenant governor of Massachusetts, now one of (ha most prominent members of the bar hs that state. SUae became the husband af a young ady distinguished in the society '«f JhtvfrMI, Mass., for her peat beauty and accomplishments. A (00,000 residence at Rockland was his first investment. His next was the fatal purchase of a half-interest in the incompleted invenlon of a Yankee to utilise steam without allowing an exhaust Thousands after thousands of dollars meltet away in the scheme. The financial backer, Inexperienced and insane with enthusiasm, hastened off to Europe with Imperfect models and illustrations to introduce to the Old World an unpatented Invention that was destined to revolutionise power. Sharpers at London and Paris saw the weakness of both the man and the machine, and while attesting to the marvelous worth of one showed no hes tation in patronising the apparently inexhaustible wealth of the other. Young McCloon, it Is said, had dined' and wined himself out of nearly i 300,000 when his marred sister, then in Paris with her husband, had him spirited off to America one night. He stuck to the invention until all his available resources were dissipated, nothing telng left but the Rockland house and a limestone quarry that yielded an inoome of 15.004 These he one day gave to' his wife, convinced that be wa-i irreclaimable. His mother gave to htm money with a lavish hand, but when she saw that he was falling lower with each gift she withheld her favors. His sisters closed the doors of their rich homes against him. Washington, Jan. 18.—Secretary Lamar sent to Acting Attorney General Ooode bis views and conclusions in the telephone caao, growing out of the petitions to bl ow legal proceedings to be instituted in the e u-ts i'i the name of the government to annul the Bell telephone patent The secretary takes strong ground in favor of a thorough judicial investigation of ihe validity of the Bell patent 8ecretiry Lamar closes his communication as follows: "Governor Foraker made a short address of welcome to Senator Sherman, who be presented to the peop'e as a man worthy of his most flattering comments both as to personal and public character. As soon as Mr. raker had cloCed Senator Sherman warmly thanked the mem'wiM for the great honor of electing him to the United States senate for the fifth time. He said there was no man for whom be had greater respect than for the distinguished citizen, Jurist and statesman. Judge Thurman, who had been the choice of the minority for senttor. Upon many questions that would come before toe senate he would vote just as Thurman would have voted. The most important duty of the legislature would be to carefully, revise the elec ion laws to prevent all frauds. The senator also called attention to the (Treat importance of wise regulation of tha liquor traffic. There should aiso, h*sa d, be some efficient remedy, by arbitration or summary process, to settle disputes between opecator* andgla^orers. Mr Coke opposed the mo ion. If nepotiim were objectionable as to future appointments he thought it objectionable to continue the nepotbm that now exist d. There is only a small amount at water in he reservoirs, and the supply is practically exhausted.

Manufacturing estal lishments that depended on city water for their boilers were sbnt town, and water is being hauled from the -iver an i lake to supply establishments that nust run at night. It is manifest that a decision upon the controversy as to the merits of the patent is not embraced within the terms of your request The 1'SUS before me lies outside of the ultimate merits of the case as a subject of Judicial investigation. As to what the final judgment should be, I have not felt called upon to form an opinion, and if 1 had formed, I would not express an opinion. The question is whether enough ha- been shown upon the hearing to refer the submission of the matter to the court at the instance of the government The proof adduce 1 in sunport an I d feoss is very voluminous and very conflicting in mmr respects. It involves great sclentlflo research and detail, and perhaps some intricate legal questions. The allegations and the evidenoe touching the circumstances attending the issue of the patent are of such a nature and have such a support as'to render It, In my opinion, improper to ignore or dismiss them. Such a case Is presented as ought I think, to undergo thorough judicial investigation. It appears that many suits have bsen pending and many are now pending before the corporation claiming this patent and others' that assail ii Mr. Edmunds disclaimed any personal Interest in his own amendment, having no relation, he said, within any degree of consanguinity to adjudge. But if so much was said of judges who had sppolneil relatives to office did senators forget that tons and kinsmen of senators themselves, and of officers of state, hid baen employed by those officials. ''Even this reform administration," continued Mr. Eimunik '•this reform administration, the pict-ire of purity and grace, anl of everything thit to lovely, has sent (and I can state as a public fact) to the -enate the nomination of a father and soa to go to the same place, to sxerciss the functions of two offices, one under the oth«r." The city is in a perilous position. Should i Are break out in the business portion of the city tbe department oould do nothing with it They could get no water, and the only iipparatus that could be called into service would be two or three chemical engines. The water works officials have given up all nope of removing the ice from the stand nlpe. The pipe is ninety feet In height and nine feet in diameter, and is packed full of ice. it may be necessary to wait until tbe weather becomes warmer and the ice thaws, for it seuma a.most an impossibility to remove the obs traction. WINTER EMPLOYMENT. Fishing, Skating, Racing and Working on the Hadson, After further dsbats the amendment of Mr. Kdmundt was agreed to. * Pouohexepsix N. Y., Jan. 15.—The oontinued cold weathjr has ma le splendid skating on the river at all point* between Tarrytown and Cox-ackie. and great orowdi of ;ska:ers were seen everywhere. All the ioe yachts belonging ro the New HambuC, Poughkeepsie and Hidson River cluos have oeen auuched, but ihere was no wind. They never had a better surface for racing. The lea la tlx inches thick and for miles north It Is as smooth as glass. The ioe harvest began in earnest. Ov.r 1,000 man and boys were at work scraping ice in front of all the houses from Rhinebeck to Coxaackie, and meu and horse* were at work plowing. Race tracks are being laid out in several places. At Catskill forty or fifty teams were seen in scrub races. The fisherman have alio turned out in large numbers for winter fishing through the ice. It is estimated that BOO of them are busy between Peeks'* ill bay and Albany. At points south of Newburg especially near Iona island and through Roa , Hook reach, the catch of striped baa* is very large, an t the demand for them i* brisk. The river ia frozen from shore to ahor* from Albany to a point *outh of Tarrytown, and naople crossed on foot at the latter place. The ioe harvest begins this year two day* eaxliar than it did last.

Miln has incurred the severe of. aevaral persons for the plays he (elected, especially "The Fool'* Kavenge," gnd letters have been sent to the city press Concerning him tor appearing in what the writers teim immoral plays, in view of his former ministerial career. In none of tlype case* ha* thare bean, or can there be, a* I think, such thorough investigation and full adjudication as to the alleged fraud* or mistakes occurring in the patent offl e in tha Isnanoe of the patent, aa could be had in a proceeding instituted and carried on by the government itself. In a case involving such question* it aeems to me especially imperative upon tha government a* a duty to it* own offloers to vindioate or condemn, and duty to the people to set on foot and follow up a complet investigation. In my opinion the proceeding should ha in tbsname and wholly by the government, not on the relation or for the benefit of all or any of the petitioner*, bat in the lntereet of the government and the people, and wholly at the expmm ani under the conduct and control of the government I think it should be Instituted at inch point and in *uch a court as will beat subserve tha purpoee of pub ic convenience and full inquiry. Buck a pro caeding. so conducted, will, a* I think, comport with ha dignity of tlia ja— anient and the gravity of the subject, and will insure a final and just adjudication of tha merits of tha oontroveny. The J idge at the finish shall report to the umpire the order in which the competing boa a cross the finish line, but the decision of the race shall rest with and be declared by the umpire. Contestants rowing a dead heat shall conpete again, after such interval ss may be appointed, and the contestant refusing to row shall be adjudged to hare lost tha race. 1 .fading Socialist* have asserted that they have prepared depots for the storing of bombs, and that they have lists of prominent persona te be disposed of by dvnarnite. 1 lie editor of the Socialistic organ.
