C, Dec. 2. repre-sentative and Mrs. Townsend arrived in Washington and are located for the winter at thu Klsmere, near the corner of Fourteenth and H streets. Mr. Tow ntend said this evening that hav-ing been traveling and visiting friends dining tho last ten days, he had, in a measure, lost the thread of political ovents, and not having seen any of his colleagues in cougress since his arrival, ho could not speak intelligently of the party's plans for the eomming session, lie felt conlident, however, that the majority would proceed ou the lines already laid down. As to tlie probability of the passage of a f.'ce coinage measure at this session, he has had no opportunity of judging. So far as ho was concerned, he would leave no honorable means untried to secure it. Of its ultimate passage he had no doubt. If the present congress failed, the coming one, in his opinion, certainly would not fail. Free coincge ih the near future he believed to be in-evitable. As to pending legislation in the inter est of Colorado, he thought it doubtful whether there would be time at the coming session for much new legisla-tion. There were two or three meas-ures now pending which he thought would be promptly passed and become laws, among tiieni the Pueblo public building bill. lii 11 oik Clearing.

Ha Set the structure on Fire an I Amid Itliitoim YelU Mttke the Leap for liberty A l.'ury liiriilout Iu tha One of tho most desperate fltid, at the same time, one of tho most horribly unique efforts on the part of a prisoner to liberate himself from a prison is re-ported from F.ureka, the episode occur-ring on Sunday night. The star in tho grim caste was a fellow who has been a guest of the local bastile for somo time. Confinement had evidently made itself awfully distasteful to him, and he de-termined to break tho chains that held him, even at tho cost of his own life. Tho remainder of the inmates bad fre-quently been consulted with reference to a leap for liberty, but the vigilant turnkey slept with one eye open and a portentlous pistol under his pil-low, and the programme each time was a failure. The gentleman who led the jail delivery on this occasion, how-ever, was more desperate than rival "generals" and determined on a sur-prise. The turnkey was settled in sab-bath reflections when a pandemonium started in the jail. Its uuruly tenants began to shriek, the little iron-sheete-building commenced to quiver and the inmates were battering the door with fre u.ied violence when the jailer drew it open. From the cell a ftatne was leaping and reaching for the dry walls. The room was dense with smoke r.nd a moment later the entire structure would have been in a blaze. The turn-key divined what wasunr, however, and summoning assistance a guard was placed at the door whili" he fought the flames that were soon routed. Thwarted' in their desperate leap Ibo prisoners admitted that it was simply a ruso bv which to liberatethemselves.

Ciishing are plaintiffs and John Beck defendant in a damage suit that was filed yester-day, wherein the former asks judgment in the sum of $3", 100. The petition sets forth that in September last Beck con-tracted with tho petitioners for 73,000, more or less, of fruit trees, the same to be delivered on his farm near Lehi. Several shipments arrived at their des-tination, but the defendant, it is said, rejected them, and tho plaintiffs now seek judgment in the sum mentioned. Mot (iuiity.

And Claim That the Si leetlon of Any One Man to the Exclusion o.' the Krat Without Competition Would ll an Insult. There are at least a dozen architects in this city who aro very .qten in their denunciation of the city fathers. The cause of this hostility was tho action of tho city council at its last session, looking forward to the selec-tion of Mr. Kletling as architect to suc-ceed Apponyi on the new city hail. Fred Hale does not feel exactly happy over the result. After being especially hired to do tho unpleas-ant task of dissecting the plans of the old architect, lie does not con-sider it exactly a square deal that he lie lett out iu the cold and denied the chance of competing for the prize, and especially after erecting as line a monu-ment to his skill as the Commercial block. Carroll & Kern insisted in asking why don't the council ask for compe-tition like any other city." They claim that, it is common everywhere to give all tho local architects a show as in this the best results of all the profession can be bad at no great ercost than the best skill of one man. Other architects aro much of the same opinion. W. F; Ware In regard to tho man who was trusted with the city work I satisfied myself in a few hours that he was totally irresponsible. From oher sources I found that bo had lono work elsewhere under different trd.nes. The .city's offer of $2."0 for pians was ridiculous. F. M. Ultner: My idea of this plan business is that there is imposition. The plans aro nearer right than Mr. Apponyi has received credit for. If mistakes exist in them Apponyi has ability enough to correct them. All architects are liable to make errors. I). T. Keillor If he got the plans in honest competition ho ought to be allowed to carry them out. (i. 1 Coslerison I have never had a chance to examine the plans.

The secretary recommends dividing the pension agencies into three groups, each making payments quarterly at dif-ferent periods, so that the payments shall be made from tho treasury each mouth, to avoid the accumulation of pension funds, lie recommends the increase of the permanent appropria-tions for the expense of collecting the customs revenue; the payment of fixed salaries for collecting customs; the con-solidation of the customs districts; thn abolishment of the oaths to monthly j accounts by customs employes; the re peal of the laws requiring that bonds ho given by individual importers upon the entry of merchandise for ware-lous- e revision and the modification of the customs laws.

United States November 1st, last was $180,230,000 'y The secretary recommends the repeal of the act of May 20th, 1882, authoriz ing the exchange of gold bars for gold coin at tho mints and at the assay ollice in New York, on the ground that it has facilitated the movement of gold from this country, or that the act be modified so as to make the exchange discretion-ary with tho treasury department and allow a charge equal to the cost of man-ufacturing bars when intended for ex-port. Legislation is also recommended looking to the of subsidiary silver coins, much of which is uncur-tcnt- . Referring to tho steady falling off in the value of merchandise carried iu American vessels, the secretary recom-mends vigorous and efficient measures in behalf of the rapidly vanishing for-eign merchant marine. He renews' the recommendations in his report of last year for legislation to that end. The secretary recommends the adop-tion of the metric system at tho custom houses beginning January 1, IM". Further legislation is recommended to prevent immigration to this country of persons unlit for citizenship, including evidence of character before our consu-lar ollicers abio id. This lie considers necessary because of the increase of an undesirable chaiaier of arising from tho cheap steamer fares. 1 le says the department has not relaxed its eff orts to secure a strict enforcement of the Chinese ex-clusion act. Organized attempts have been made by Chinese laborers to force their way inlo tho United States by the way of Mexico. British Columbia and Canada.

President Polk de-livered his annual address in which ho congratulated tho alliance on the achievements since the last meeting. He reviewed the causes of the agricul-tural depression. He declared thatthis depression was an anomaly to tho stu-dent of industrial progress. ' 'Retrogression in American agricul-ture," he said, "means natural decay, and powerful and promising as is this young and giant republic, yet its power and glory touch not the degradation of the American farmers." Tho centralization of the money power and the of monopo-lies was then pointed out to both polit-ical parties and condemned for forcing aud encouraging this condition. The president urged that additional organ-izers must be sent at onco into Oregon, Washington, Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Arizona and other states. Among the recommendations was one that an organization bo formed to be known as tho national legislature, composed of tho national president and tho presidents of all the state nlliances to look closely after the legislative re-forms demanded by the alliance, both iu the stale legislatures anil congress.
