lIEPORT THAT HE HAD COMPRO
MISED WITH OPPOSING FAC
TIONS IS DENIED
MATTER OF THE PATRONAGE
Has Not Surrendered His Right* to
Take a. Hand In Any Federal
Appointments That May
Re Made.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Jan. 6.—(Special.)
•-While there is no question that the Ke.
publican factions of South Dakota have
united upon Congre.-srr.an Robert J. Gam
ble for e'.wtion as the successor of Sen
ator Pettlgrew in the United States sen
ate, the statements which have appear
ed in the newspapers to the effect that
this action was brought about by <"o:i
--gressman Gamble withdrawing all claims
to having anything to say with reference
to federal appointments during his term
of office, and leaving the dictation of
patronage to a few leaders in the state,
are denied. One who is competent to
speak in behalf of Congressman Gamble,
in discussing with your correspondent the
alleged compromise entered into between
that gentleman and three or four of the
Republican leaders, by which Congress
man Gamble was alleged to have granted
the leaders the right to dictate all fed
eral patronage in return for the United
States senatorship being given to him,
■aid:
"Statements in any form that a com
promise had been entered intri between
Congresssman Gamble and those oppos
ing his election to the United States sen
ate, and that in consideration of their
support and of his election he was to sur
render all claims to the matter of federal
patronage, etc., have absolutely no foun.
xfatlon in fact. Such a suggestion was
never made to Mr. Gamble in any man
ner, either directly or indirectly, by any
individual or individuals. He would pre
fer to decline an election to the position
rather than surrender or bargain away
any of its prerogatives or obligations, or
not be left absolutely free in the dis
charge of every duty pertaining to the
office."
In view of this, it is now suggested
that the leaders in question concocted
the story of the compromise in order to
"let themselves down light." There was
some opposition to the election of Con
gressman Gamble to the United States
senate, but as the legislative votes con
trolled by those opposed to him could not
be concentrated upon any candidate with
sufficient standing to defeat him, opposi
tion to Mr. Gamble's advancement to the
American house of lords was withdrawn

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Jan. 6.—(Special.)
—The inquest over the remains of the
young woman known as Ellen Strong,
who died under mysterious circumstance*
of arsenical poisoning at a local hotel
early Saturday morning 1, will be held
tomorrow, having been continued from
yesterday to give Herman Kenyon, of
Charles Mix county, hu3band of the
woman, an opportunity to be present.
Some few believe the woman was mur

a short time bsfore her death that a
young man had given her what proved to
be arsenic to cure her cold. The suicide
theory, however, seems to be probably ihe
correct one. It has been ascertained that
deceased has been a defendant in a di

served on her a few weeks ago. Ken

ENLISTMENT OF FILIPINOS ONLY
DISCORDANT NOTE IN THE ..-
NEW ARMY BILL
. . .'if _"'. "I-'
MEMORY OF SENATOR DAVIS
Saturday In the Senate Will Be
Luirjfely Devoted to Addressc*
Eulogistic of the Dead
Senator.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—The senate will
continue to give practically uninterrupt
ed attention to the army reorganization
bill until that measure shall be disposed
of. That the bill will pass no one
doubts, and the general opinion is that it
will get through some time during the
present week. Senator Hawley, chairman
of the committee on military affairs, ex
presses the opinion that the measure will
be In conference by Wednesday, but
other senators postpone the date some
what. There are several committee
amendments yet to be considered, In
cluding those relating to the army can
teen and the veterinary corps. It was
supposed at one time that the canteen
provision would cause prolonged debate,
but the best opinion now is that compar.
atively little time will be spent on it. A
number of amendments suggested by In
dividual senators will be considered at
greater length, and some speeches on
the bill as a whole are yet to be" made.
The provision of the bill authorizing the
enlistment of Filipinos in the army of
the United States is among the features
which are almost certain to come in for
sharp attack.
With the army bill out of the way, the
legislative, executive and judiciary ap
propriation bill will be taken up, and,
after it, the volunteer appropriation
bills, if any are in shape to be consid
ered. The ship subsidy bill will be re
stored to the calendar, as the regular or
der of business when the army bill Is
passed, and it will be pressed when no
appropriation bills are awaiting consid
eration.
FOR EULOGIES OF DAVIS.
Next Saturday will be largely devoted
to eulogies on the late Senator Davis, of
Minnesota.
RE APPORTIONMENT A PROBLEM.
The consideration of the reapportion
ment bill will be resumed tomorrow in
the house. The indications point to a
final vote upon the measure on Tuesday,
but the fight over the basis of apportion
tionment is a bitter one, and the debate
may be prolonged. The outcome is not
clear. Mr. Hopkins is still confident that
his bill will carry, but in order to pull it
through he is now ready to concede an
increase of three members to cover the
major fractions of the states of Florida.
Colorado and North Dakota. The opposi
tion is verg aggressive, but on the sur
face seems to lack the strength neces
sary to carry the Burleigh bill. There
are forces at work, however, by which the
opposition hopes, through the agencies
of Senator Quay, Senator Platt, of New
York, and Senator Lodge, of Massachu
setts, to swing the delegations of New
York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts
into line, and if successful the Hopkins
bill may suffer defeat. Mr. Crumpacker,
of Indiana, proposes to move to recom
mit the bill, with instructions to reduce
the representation of the Southern
states, but there is no idea that such a
proposition will prevail. After the dis
posal of the reapportionment bill, the
river and harbor bill will be taken up. It
is expected to consume two days. The
remainder of the week will be devoted to
appropriation bills. The District of Co
lumbia probably will be the next of the
supply bills to be considered.
IRELAND WANTS COPPER SUL
PHATE.
According to United States Consul
Brice at Belfast there is a great demand
in Ireland for sulphate of copper in its
raw state for use In the manufacture of
artificial manure, etc., and he thinks
it affords a good opening for American
dealers in that commodity.
INNOVATION AT THE INAUGURAL,.
A distinctive feature of the pecoml in.
augUTation of President McKmley if
plans now under way fulfill their early
promise, will be a large representation
of the colleges and universities of the
United States in the line of parade for
the first time. The matter has been put
in the hands of an intercollegiate com-,
mittee which has addressed invitat'ons
to the presidents of more than 400 Amer
ican institutions of learning requesting
that delegates bs sent on to lepresent
their respective institutions in the in
augural parade. Tt is expected that each
college or university will have a dis
tinctive uniform and banner and that
the result will be a pleasing addition to
the other details of the parade. The
letter of invitation addressed to the col»
lege presidents, is as follows:
Washington, Jan. 7, 1901.
Dear Sir—With a view of inspiring pa
triotism in the young men of our coun
try by means of the object lesson which
the inaugural ceremonials will present,
the inaugural committee has the honor
to extend through you an invitation tr>
the student body of your institution to
participate in the inaugural parade of
March 4, 1901. A similar invitation has
been sent to all the leading American
crimes and universities, with the hope
of having as many of them as possible,
whether large or small, represented on
the above occasion. It is earnestly re
quested that you give this movement
your hearty approval, and either in per
son or through a committee of your
selection, present this matter for" the
students' consideration in mass meeting
assembled.
It is desired for obvious reasons that
the committee be informed at the earli
est date practicable of the representa
tion if any, it may expect from your
institution. Respectfully.
—Wallace Donald McLean,
Chairman Intercollegiate Committee.
In order that the movement may b«3
successful, t'lie suggestion is made that
mass meetings be held by the various
alumni and university clubs throughout
the country for the purpose of inter
esting college men in the project. The
first mass meeting of this kind will be
held in Washington next Saturday at the
Columbian university when graduates
from leading universities are expected
to speak to an assemblage to which all
resident college men are invited.
It is s-tatecl by the intercollegiate com
mittee that the different college clubs
and societies ore expected to come a.s
delegations Their participation will be
strictly non-partisan. There will be no
maximum or minimum limit to the size
of each delegation, the only requirement
being that each body shall be uniformed
or decorated so as to display its college
colors. Freedom is given to introduce
unique features characteristic of college
life. Delegations, it is suggested, should
perfect themselves in marching either by
column, figures or changing their forma
tion while in line of march. One large
banner should be carried in front of e.ich
delegation. Cheering will be confined ex
clusively to the time when the respective
colleges are parsing the president's re
viewing stand. Each delegation will be
permitted to give only one cheer, so ,as
to prevent an interruption to the cheer
of the college following. Horns or other
irstiuments for the purpose merely of
making a noise will not be allowed in
the parade. It Is requested, however,
that bands be brought from as many
colleges as possible. The local committee
will make all arrangements necessary for
a convention of institutions signifying
their purpose to be represented. The rail
roads will give a special rate to the col
lege delegations.
GERMAN TRADE WITH CANADA.
Germany exports to Canada about six
times as much as she imports from that
country, acording to a communication to
the state department from Consul Win
ter, at Annaberg, Germany. On the
whole, however, the consul states, Ger
man products are losing ground in Brit
ish North America.
, Germany's principal articles of exports
to Canada are raw sugar, railroad sup
plies and toys.
TO ADVANCE FRENCH MARINE.
A supplementary report on the depress
ed condition of the French merchant
marine and the various measures ad
vanced for its amelioration has been fur
nished the department of state by United
States Consul Thackera, £,t Havre.
Mr. Thackara forwards a resume of an
interesting report on this subject by Mr.
Thierry, deputy from Marseilles, which
will form the basis fw the discussion
of the matter in the lower chamber. Mr.
Thierry advocates the -d-i-munition of the
advantages enjoyed by the sailing fleet
under the law of 1893,' nthfc increase of
bounties granted to steaw^rs and the
rejuvenation of the materjlal composing
the merchant fleet. "When" the commer
cial fleet will have ofttalriied a greater
number of well equiped vessels," says
Mr. Thierry, "then it will be of the
greatest service to the fighting navy
when the occasion arises."
Mr. Thierry calls attention to the dif
ficulties which the French' government
experienced every time it was necessary
to transport troops to Tonkin, Madagas
car, Dahomy and China. He speaks of
the great services rendered by English
ship owners during the Transvaal cam
paign. He gives interesting details on
the part which our auxiliary fleet took in
the naval operations in Cuban waters.
In commenting on the Spanish-Ameri
can war, Mr. Thierry says that by the
organization of a powerful commercial
fleet, by the transformation of fast
steamers into auxuillary vessels, the
United States applied a system to
which, in large measure was due the
great American victories. In other
words, the United States, instead of hav
ing a fixed base of supply for its fleet
created a movable one.
AUTHORITY ON TRANSPORTS.
On the recommendation of Quarter
master General Ludington, the secretary
of war has made a slight amendment
to the army regulations relating to mili
tary transports, the object of which is
more clearly to define the duties and
responsibilities of the principal officers
in charge, viz.: The master of the ves
sel and the quartermaster. The quarter
master has supreme charge of the ship
from one port to another in execution
of the orders of the war department. He
however, has nothing to do with the
navigation of the ship when under way.
Then the master of the vessel is in su
preme command and is the only person
authorized to give* orders to his sub
ordinates, including the crew. This has
been the general system of operating the
transport service for months past, but
there seems to be some misunderstanding
as to the relative authority of the quar
termaster and the ship's captain at
se;j, and the new regulations were issued
to prevent the possibility of any further
doubt on the matter by thfe persons di
rectly concerned.

ROOT IS OPPOSED iTO IT.
Bill Providing for a Corps of Veter

WASHINGTON, Jan. Root
has transmitted to the;-chairman of the
senate military committee a protest sign
ed by Claude V. Morris,- secretary of the
New York State Veterinary society,
against the proposed amendment to the
army bill, providing for* corps of veteri.
narlans. In an explanatory letter, ac
companying, he says:
"Let us recall to yonr -attention the

Let me re-state the position in order that
PATHETIC APPEAL.
I^B^^Sii^^^SSittiSS
there may be no misunderstanding:
This department is not opposed to suita
ble recognition of veterinarians. It has
no serious objection to giving them mil
itary rank, although I do not think it is
a wise course to give military, rank to
civilian employes. What I do object to is
a creation of a new corps, with a colonel
at the head, reporting directly to the sec
retary of war, and thus necessarily creat
ing a new bureau in the war department
and a body of officers who, communicat
ing directly with- the secretary of war
through their chief, are constantly inde
pendent of the commanding officers of
the cavalry regiments and the horse ar
tillery organizations. One 'of the" recog
nized defects of our present army organi
zation is that of suitable command and
division of duties and responsibilities be
tween the.officers commanding troops and
. territorial departments ron the one hand,
and staff officers responsible to a head
in Washington on the other. :. The re
sult is that it is impossible to fix respon.
sibility for any failure to ..remedy . de
fects or abuses. The proposed organiza
. tion of a veterinary corps is but another
step in the wrong direction, and will In
crease the evils which ought to be reme
died." . * , v a" «„■ »■-■

CARDINAL GIBBONS PREACHEI
PEACE SERMON AT BALTI
MORE YESTERDAY
WARS OF THE LAST CENTURY
They Are, He Says, a Mockery of
the Christianity Professed
by the Nation* of
Europe.
BALTIMORE, Md., June 6.—Cardinal
Gibbons today delivered a sermon at a
mass at the cathedral, in which he re
viewed briefly the events of the century
just closed with special reference to the
wars which have been raged during that
period as a preface to an urgent plea for
universal peace. He incidentally touched
upon the subject of the proposed increase
of the standing army in this country,
pointing out the evil results arising from
the maintenance of large bodies of armed
men in Europe, and expressed the hope
that similar conditions may never ob
tain in this country. The sermon was
as follows:
"The mission of Jesus Christ on earth
was a mission of-.peace. He caAe to es
tablish in our hearts a triple peace, peace
with God, peace with our neighbor, and
peace with ourselves. Man's peace with
God was dissolved by his rebellion against
his Maker. Christ came to restore man
to the friendship of God by sacrifice of
His life on the cross.
"He has taught us to have peace with
our neighbor by observing the eternal
principles of justice and charity, by do
ing unto others what we would wish
others do unto us. And He tells us that
we will have peace with ourselves by
keeping our passion subject to' reason, and
our reason subject to faith.
"But Christ's mission of peace had a
wider scope. His mission was also to
bring peace to the family and society.
As the God of peace He brings peace to
the human heart; as the Father of Peace,
He brings peace to the family, and, as
the Prince of Peace, He brings peace to
society and the commonwealth.
"Before the advent of Christ, war was
the rule, peace the exception, throughout
the world. So regular, incessant and ha
bitual was war before the coming of our
Savior that the Book of Kings speaks of
a certain season of the year as the usual
period for the re-opening of hostilities.
, "In pagan Rome the temple of Janus
was closed in time of peace and kept
open in time of war. From the reign of
Tullus Hostilius, the third king of Rome,
to Augustus Caesar, a perlofl covering
GSO years, the temple was closed only for
six years.
"But, although wars are less frequent
and less inhuman in the Christian dis
pensation than in pagan times, It must be
confessed that we are, as yet, far re
moved from the millenium of universal
peace.
CHRISTIAN NATIONS AT WAR.
" 'Glory to God on the highest, and on
earth peace to men of good win,' was the
song of the angels on the night of our
Savior's birth in Bethlehem.
"Although these words have been re
sounding throughout the world for nearly
2,000 years, and though Christianity is the
prevailing religion in Europe, It Is a
melanhcoly reflection that it had not yet
succeeded in arresting war and estab-
lishing the permanent reign of peace on
that continent. In fact, the nineteenth
century, from its dawn to its sunset
has witnessed an almost continuous scene
of sanguinary struggles between the na
tions of Christian Europe."
Reviewing the wars of the century the
invasion of Poland, the campaigns of Na
poleon, the Crimea, the war between
Austria and France and Italy and the
Franco-Prussian war, the cardinal coni
tinued:
"And at this moment, after an enorm
ous expenditure of men and money, Eng
land is endeavoring to bring to a success
ful close her was with the South African
republics. It is stated that this c am
paign will cost England $600,000,000.
UNCLE SAM HAS HAD FOUR.
"And how does our own country stand
on the subject of war? Although the
corner-stone of the constitution is peace
with all nations and entangling alliances
with none, we have had on our hands
four wars in a century just brought to a
close. In 1812 we were engaged in the
war with Great Britain, which was justi
fiable on our part because it was a war of
defense. In 1846 the Mexican war oc
curred. Our terrible Civil war began in
ISS6I, lasting four years; and we have
recently closed the war with Spain,
which resulted in the loss to her, and In
the acquisition by us, of all her foreign
possessions.
"When we read of a great military
campaign, our imagination revels In the
contemplation of the heroic achievements
of famous generals. But we take no note
of the shrieks end agonies, or the soldier^
weltering in their blood on the battle
field.
"Is it not a mockery of justice and a
scandal to the pagan world, to see two
Christian nations cutting each other's
throat in the name of Christian civiliza
tion?
CONDEMNED AS AN OUTRAGE.
"Is it not an outrage to contemplate
one nation forcing by the sword her laws,
her government and political institutions
on another nation in the interests of
trade and commerce, as if merchandise
and dollars and cents were of more value
than human lives? Is it not monstrous
to see a strong power Invadmg a weale
one, and seizing her territories on the
hypocritical plea of rectifying her boun
daries? This rectification of boundaries
is a very old practice, and Is a polite
name for ro<bbery on a large scale.
. "Ahab and Jezebel seized the vineyard
of Naboth.
"The old Roman empire, 2,000 years ago,
did not stop till it had annexed all of
Europe and a good slice of Asia and
Africa. But the day of retribution came
at last. The warlike tribes of the north
swooped down like avenging eagles on
that decaying and corrupt body—the
Roman empire—and rectified her bound
aries over again. The empire was dis
membered and the map of Europe was
changed.
ARE ARMED TO THE TEETH.
"It is a subject of gTeat concern to the
friends of the gospel of peace that
Christian Europe presents today the
spectacle of a huge military camp. All
the nations of the continent, as well as
England, are armed to the teeth, and
are living in mutual dread and distrust
of each other. They are devoured by an
insatiable ambition of conquest and do
minion or by a fear of invasion. When
you see heavy clouds surcharged with
the electricity of war hanging over
these nations, you may expect the thun
der-clap of battle to resound at any mo
ment. Armed nation* like armed indi
viduals are a constant menace to one
another and are easily provoked to fight.
"And these military forces, instead of
diminishing, are unhappily, increasing
every year. As soon as one nation aug
ments its armament, its neighbor fees
impelled to do likewise in self protec
tion.
"When we consider the immense num
ber of men that are torn from the bosom
of their families in the prime of life,
that are withdrawn from active, indus
tiia.l pursuits, when we see these young
men vegetating In idleness' in time of
peace, and luxuriating in license and dis
sipation in time of war, we may form
some idea of the moral, material and
social evils resulting from such a sys
tem. In contemplating these standing
armies, the calm observer might be
forced to conclude that European gov
ernments were primarily established to
destroy, rather than to save life, to
foster happiness and develop the re
sources of a country.
A PRAYER FOR CONGRESS.
"May God so guide our legislators and
statesmen that they may never be be
trayed into imitating European govern
ments by the establishment of formidable
standing armies. God forbid that we
ourselves flushed with recent victories
shculd ever become intoxicated with the
wine of imperialism or militarism, but.
may we always follow the traditions of
the fathers of the republic.
'Hitherto we have presented to the
world a beautiful spectacle. Europeans
accustomed at 'home to meet a soldier
or gendarme a.t every street corner, on
arriving in this country have been filled
with surprise and admiration that a na
tion of so vast an extent, and with such
an immense population contains an army
of only 25,000 men. They have been
forcibly impressed with the fact that
they can travel from Maine to California
without meeting a single soldier. They
see that every citizen of the United
States is a soldier without uniform, en
gaged in the active pursuits of life, and
ready at a moment's notice to defend
his country. They would feel that we
are a strong nation because we cheer
fully bow to the majesty of the law,
and are not confronted and intimidated
by military satraps. May this fair
picture never be defaced.
"Every Christian nation of the world
has its own national flag, it fights under
its own chosen leaders, it listens to its
own favorite war cry.
"But there is one banner before which
they all should bow, and that is the ban
ner of the cross; there is one Leader
whom they should all revere and -wor
ship—and that is Christ the Prince of
Peace. There is one clarion trumpet fo
which they all should harken, and that
Is the trumpet of the Gospel.
"The teachings of the Gospel form the
only basis of peace for the rulers of the
earth. All the arts and resources of di
plomacy will be In vain; all the courts
or arbitration and peace conferences that
ever shall assemble will avail but little,
as experience demonstrates. All their
deliberations will be so much waste pa
per, unless their decisions are guided
and framed under the invocation of the
Lord of Peace who sits enthroned on the
cross.
MAY NEW CENTURY BE PEACEFUL,.
"God grant that the new century which
has just dawnel upon us may inaugurate
a new era of peace, fulfilling the prophe
cy of Isaiah, 'They shall turn their
swords into plowshares, and their spears
into sickles, nations shall not lift up
sword against nation, neither shall they
be exercised any more by war.' May
the Christian rulers contend among them
selves, not a<» to which shall invent the
most death-dealing weapon of war, but
which shall devise the most useful Im
plements of husbandry and agriculture.
May the people of the several states of
our Union strive in friendly emulation
in outstripping one another in the paths
of progress and enlightenment and ma
terial prosperity. May trade and com
merce, the arts of science flourish, may
her citizens be more and more conspicu
ous for justice and temperance, for fra
ternal charity, for rectitude of character,
for every civic and religious virtue, ani
for every quality that uplifts and en
nobles the man, and may the blessings
of Christianity be difused throughout
our beloved country.*'
NEW STRIKE AT SCRANTON.
Mount Pleasant Colliery Su«pend»—
Street Car Men Are HeMiv«>.
SCRANTON, Pa., Jan. «.—The 800 em
ployes of the Mount Pleasant colliery of
the Elk Hill Coal & Iron company are
again on strike, the third time in a
year.
They decided to s-trlke Saturday night,
'because the superintendent refused to
give a driver boy the rate of wages the
boy claimed he was entitled to. The
A gentleman of Brooklyn, employed by a great publishing house, had
suffered for three years from dyspepsia and had it so badly that the doctor
said his was a confirmed case. This gentleman, who was somewhat face
tious as well as dyspeptic, used to say that he had his ticket engaged for
a passage over the Styx. He had dieted for years until his wife said he
had nearly come down to drinking dew and eating rose leaves. Now it
happened that one day he had a dinner invitation which he really wanted
to accept and he was induced to make trial of Ripans Tabules, because
he had seen their wonderful effect advertised so much. He began three
days in advance, taking one after each meal, then he went to the dinner
. and allowed himself full swing; but took two Tabules afterward. Next
morning he found himself all right and very soon a lady neighbor was
heard to ask his wife: " What have you been doing to your husband lately?
He is looking fine!" He had not eaten a good dinner for three years be
fore that nigh^, but now his friendly relations with turkey have been re
sumed and in the exuberance of his new liberty he cultivates pie and,
in fact, has a tendency to sample everything there is going.

strike resulted in the company posting
a notice that the colliery from this date
would be shut down. The men are
threatening to call out the 7,000 employes
of the twelve collieries of the Elk Hill
company if the lock-out is persisted in
at the Mount Pleasant mine.
There is some danger of the renewal
of the street car strike. The barn men
rejected the schedule of wages submitted
