The fcEXTiXEL correspondent at once went
to the place whre the killing occurrod.
The coroner was notified and was there
also to hold the inquest over the remains.
The port mortem examination developed
the fact that the ball had entered between
the fourth and fifth rib, ranging in a down
ward direction to the heart. Mrs. Mary
Nl-on and others of the nearest neigh

A GIRL STOWAWAY
"Who Crossed the Atlantic on tho Ant
werp Desorted and Robbed.
New York. Jan. 23. A pretty girl stow
away was aboard. That was what the
bluff captain, Francis Edwards, reported
when he moored hia Drig rigged steamer
Antwerp, seventeen days out from Ant
werp, Belgium, at Jewel's wharf in Brook
lyn yesterday. Annie Wildams.nineteen
years of aife, is a pretty girl and is quite a
heroine, for she has the honor of teing
the tirrit female etowaway that ever came
to American ahor-e. From the time of
her discover? Annie received the bet
treatment. Her story merited iL She
had married an Englishman named At
kins and tailed with h:ru for Europe,
levying in h e care all her money. $12,500,
which she had drawn from thn banic.
When the steamer reached its Queens
town destination Mrs. Williams said that
her husband wanted her to accompany
him to Antwerp on business.
"We reached there about Aug. 1," she
conticufd. "and 6tay' d there together un
til about Dec 15, when my husband asked
me to remain a few dava in our hotel, as
he had to run into the interior of Bt-lgium.
I waited as he told m, but he never came
back, and after he had b en gone a week I
received a itt?er from which I nearly
went mad." 'Ihe letter, Mrs. Wiliiams
said, informed her that her husband had
cruelly deserted her. It also told her that
she had been left penniless. "I remained
heart-broken in Antwerp, not knowing
what to do. Then on the day the Antwerp
sai ed I was out walking on the pier to
which she was moored. I don't know what
I made me do it, but I walked aboard of
her, dresed jut es I was in etreet attire
ami with no baggage."
Mrs Williams said that she hurried be
tween decks and ensconced herelf in a
state room in the c&!in. There fhu re
mained unmolested until the vessel waa
far out at sea,
"Oa the morning of the second day
out." the fair stowaway added, "1 couid
stand the pangs of hunger no longer.'
Yesterday aUcr the ship was moorei in
her docs Cnpt. Edwards escorted his fuir
etowawav to her aunt's houie, where ehe

CARNEGIE COMES HOM E
And Henry Cla Frick Ilti a Talk
tvith His Chief".
New Yoeic, Jan. i'3. Amon? the pas
sengers on the North German Lloyd
steamship Kaiser Wilhelm II, which
arrived today from Genoa, were Andrew
Carnegie, his wile snd Miss WhiteSwid,
Mrs. Carnegie's sister, who bad been
abroad for some time. Mr. Carnegie and
his party were the first to leave d.rectly
the fchip was u ado fast in her her berth,
and entering a coach they were driven
rapidly away. At Mr. Carnegie's house
at 5 W. Fifty -first-it., Henry Clay
Frick met his chief and for
sowral hours the two were closeted
together. To a'l requests for an interview
Mr. Carnegie sent word that be bad noth
ing to pay for publication. Before Mr,
Frich left Homestead he wes reported to
have said tnat everything at the scene of
the recent strike waa jast as ha wanted it
and that it would remain so unless Mr.
Carnegie should "put hia foot in it" when
he arrived home. The long onfer-nce
today was, it is said, caused by the lieu
tenant's elTorLs to keep MrJCarneftie's foot
out of it.
Jarues B. Fcott of Tittiburg called on
his chief later in the day. At the time of
the Homestead strike Mr. Carneeie was

Which I a Very Great Way OiT from
the Facts The Prc.ldent-Elect De
liberate and Careful in Ills Consid
eration of Men T1m3 Senatorial Situ
ation in Some ol ! e Slates Growing
Very Interesting1 a "Well as Compli
Cited. New Yofk, Jan. 22. Special. The ab
sence of the president-elect in Otdo in at
tendance at the funeral of ex-President
Hayes naturally stops a good deal of the
! gossip about cabinet-making, although
some of it has gone on eveD in his absence.
This is mainly due to the fact that much of
it has never had the s-ightest foundation in
truth and ha-t no dependence upon hia
presence or absence.
Many complete cabinet slates have been
made up and published from time to
time, but they have been purely specula
tive and the t an who must finally be con
sulted has known ess than noihin about
them. Many men have been thns putin
j to the cabinet withont seeking it on their
I own part and without any knowledge of
them by the presidentelect.
It is safe to say that in spits of all this
help the work of cabinet-miking goes
forward verv alowiv. end not more than
j two ef thn eight members have thus far
been chosen, and even one of these has
not been assigned, to any particular de
partment. There is 10 longer conceal
ment about Carlisle and Lamont and yet
it in doubtful whether Mr. Clevelr.nd hs
distinctly in mind any other member of
his official family. He is not a man to go
about making "tenders of p ares of this
magnitude until l e is thoroughly con
vinced that it is the right aa wed as the
expedient thing to do.
One thinu that at ems certain is that far
less than the utual attention is being given
to claims and to pe gra phi- si considera
tions. Mr. Cleve. and looks upn his
second election as a cell to do a certain
great work and to do it in such a war that
it will bs eÜective and permanent. He
hxs been heard to declare since the
election that i'. '- believed the work of
tariff revtiod tou4v. ba bst promoted
by doice so be would not hesitate to take
every r.mbr of; his cabinet from ,the
Fame state. YVhiU this was an exaggerated
way of at a tin the caae, it illustrates with
accuracy the attitude of the president
elect toward hts cabinet advisers, aa well
as to the political questions of the future
that he deems important and vital.
While slow progress lias been made in
the work of making- the cabinet it is not
the result of & scarcity of candidates or
suggestions. iMany names have been pre
sented, even inr a formal way, some of
them by viite from delegations, of whom
the pub.ic hsA had no information what
ever. In most case senators,
coneressmen and prominent men
who put forward a caudidate from a
siven state or section, talk about it witii
much freedom, hut there are some excep
tions to this, and so attention has been
railed to the names of men without the
fact becoming noned abroad. In other
rae?, men whoje names are mentioned
forsuch favor, have refused to permit
friends to write letters or make any move
ment in any wav recognizing the fact.
As a result ol this no president has
ever had so little of self-seeking to deal
with, or has been left more free to do as
he thonht best, than has the man who is
now patiently seekinz to make up a cabi
net that will best promote the welfare of
his coutrymen and the success of his ad
ministration. Neither is Mr. Cleveland givinir much
time or attention to places lower in grade
than thone of the cabinet. He manifestly
looks upon it cs necassary that be should
do the hi stand mot important thing first
and that in doing this he should have all
the help he can tret from hia advisers. So
tii-epe will bo consulted with much free
dom about the men proposed as their col
leagues durii.g the next four years, al
though the country mut know by this
time that tliH president-elect finally de
cides ab euch thiuvs for himself.
Much of the matter published tn the lo
cal papers here about Mr Cleveland's
movements is entirely unworthy of cre
dence. The prei lent-elect has been too
busy to receive repurteis tdiber at his of
fice or at his house, even if he were
not naturally disinclined to do to,
bow or at any other time. In
spite of this precaution, or perhaps
because of it, he is otten represented as do
ing things he never thought of. as seeing
uieu who have not been near him, and as
gointf to places he ha never visited. Only
lust week he was represented as having
spent tho day at a cub in consultation
with Senator Viiaa when he did not leave
bis house and the senator was not
in town. So, interviews attributed !

which he has no knowledge, nevtr having
seen the men who wrote them. Some of
these have taken the regular colloquial j
form and migtit deceive even the persons
who know liiui. In like manner his
friends are often credited with things
they have never said. Onlv a few days
aso CoL Lamont was represented as ex
pressing opinions be had never held or
thouaht of about the senatorial contests
in various states as well as on New York
politics.
In gensral the president-elect has been
fairly fortunate thus far in his dealings
with newspapers, because of the fact that
the thing invented have btf?n less harm
ful than usual. Most of the papers every
where have not sought to publish euch a
great mass of news about him as they did
after his election in 18S4. He goes
about hia work with little regard
to these thin a, taking no steps to
correct misapprehensions, thouh contin
uing bv bis conduct to give little excuse
for their extsteuce. He does not take the
public into his confidence now any more
than at previous periods in his career, but,
at the same time, he takes occasion that
no news of his act'nns that is really im
portant shah be concei led from the' pub
lie.
THURSTON OUT OF IT.
The Nebraska Senatorial Situation About
a Clear as ?Iad.
Omaha, Jan. J2. The Bee tomorrow
morning will print a letter from John M.
Thurston, formally withdrawing from the
senatorial contest. Mr. Thurston states
as his reason that the interests of his
client, the Union Pacific railway
company, demands his full attention, and
he is, ttierefore, constrained to forcco his
ambition p -iiiically. This move will have
the e ect of strengthening the position of
Mr. Paddock, but it wid not give him a
clear track bv any means. Goveanor
Crounz is coming forward more and more
and, next to Paddock, has now the moat
strength on the republican side.
On the Dart of the independents much
speculation is stilt indulged :u. Al
though during the preliminary ballot
ing of lat week the populists' vote
waa concentrated on Power it 13 by no
peans certain he will have the full fol ow
ing of hia arty alter Tuesday. The dem
ocrats flounder along, dividing their
fifteen votes among a half dozen candi
dates. They hope to secure a compro
mise. In this event. Congressman
McKeighrm teems to be the strongest
man in the race. If he can consolidate
the independents he is almost certain to
get the democratic votes needed. But
the best posted politicians say there will
be no choice before late in February.

DEMFSEY'S STORY.
The "Defendant in the nomestead

PiTTSseni, Jan. 15. The defense in the

Much stir was created in the court room
during Mr. Dempsey's cross-examination
by hia great agitation. He became much
exhausted and fears were entertained that
he wou d faint and thia produced a some
what unfavorable impression. When

"Because I got a telegram irom New York

The jury found Dempsey guilty.
MURDEKED IN A SWAMP.
The Hodjr of A. J. Morton Found Frozen
Miff in Northern Indiana.
Chicago, Jan. 23. The body of A. J.
Morton, twenty-five years of age, a clerk
in the employ of the Philadelphia & Read
ing coal company, was found in the Ful
lerton marshes today frozen stiff. There
was nothing of va.ue on tha body when it
was found and the police believe that the
young man was murdered and robbed.
.Sunday, Morton, in company with
Thomas Sievemon, a member of the Calu
met shooting club, went out to tho
marshes which are a short diatance be
yond the Indiana line, for the purpose ot
hunting. After tramping around
in the marshes for some time
the men lost their bearings and
could not find their way out. In wadiug
through tho swamp Morton became ex
hausted and could iro no turther. Steven
son carried hiui on his back for some time,
until they fell ia with a party of
men who told them that they
were going to Miller, lud., and
would take Morton with them and put
biaa on a Chicago train at this point. This
Whs agreed to. and Stevenson went to the
he use of the Calmet shooting club, spent
the night there, and came in this morn
ing expecting to find that Morton had
come in ahead of him. When he found
that nothing had been heard of him, he at
once set on foot the search which resulted
in the finding of Morton's body.
There were no wounds on the corpse,
and it is thought that he was stunned
with a club and died of exposure, or that
be was kill.d outright by a blow on the
head. A post-mortem examination will
be held tomorrow.

hs been a great deal of gosip of every
kind about every imaginable sort of pub
lic man in the almost uuited effort now
being made by the American people, es
pecially that part of it engaged in news
paper work, to assist in the making of a
new cabinet. The creat ma's of this has
been of the most irtesporsible character.
Scarcely a public man of any kind has
been able to come to the city without be
ing put down at once as a candidate for a
place in ihe president's cabinet. But
with all this talk and writing lidle inten
tion has ben given thus far to the otlice
of secretary of state. About tho only man
thus far talked of for this office has been
Mr. Phelps of Vermont, formerly u iuifter
to England. In addition to his name
there has been occasionally n.entioned
ex-Postu-aster-Genaral Don M. Dickinson
in connection with what is generally
looked upon as the leading cabinet office.
AVhy Overtook Hi? yard?
It Eeems strange that ia all this discus
sion almost no attention has been given to
the na:se of Thomas F. Bayard of Dela
ware, secretary of 6tate under Mr. Cleve
land's first administration. Nearly every
member of the former cabinet has been
mentioned for his old or new place, but
Mr. Bayard's name has, for some reason,
r.!met by common consent, been omitted
from the lit of men deemed eligible for
this important place. This id the
more strange, toe. when it is known that,
everythii e cons.dere 1, the relations of
tho preeident-els ct and his eecrtary of
state were quite as close a any two
men ever associated in public p aces.
Beth betöre and since each has always
spoken of ths other in the warmest terms
of commendation, personal as well as po
litical. Mr. Cleveland has always ex
pressed lbs hL'be-d confidence in Mr.
liayard and no enlczy ha3 been too lo ty
for hiin to pronounce upon bis ability,
character and patriotism. He has been
known to declare many times, both
before and since his ia-st election, that if
be had the power to hunt the whole
world ovr be could never lind for this
important post a man of higher impulses
or of greater ability or character than his
former secretary of state.
IUglit on the Tariff.
It must be remembered that the president-elect
looks upon the reformation ot
the abuses of our tari I eyt-tem as the most
important work entrustt-d to him. In this
respect, he has much admiration for Mr.
Bavard's consifctent record on this im
portant question, and knows thoroughly,
the va uo of his advice on this and
kindred questions bearing upon a success
ful admimtrat.on of the government
finances. In order that he may have
ti ne and opportunity to do this great
work he and his friends recognize the im
portance of escaping from the numerous
foreign complications that arise to trouble
almoct every administration.
Vp On Forei Affairs.
One of the arguments put forward in
favor of Mr. Bayard's reappointment to
his old post is that the questions now in
foreign ailairs are almost identical with
those that came to the front during Mr.
Cleveland's former ad.niniration. The
fisheries trouble is no nearer settlement
than it was when Mr. Buyard and Mr.
Phelps negotiated a treaty with L'ngland,
only to have it rejected for purely parti
san reasons. The Bering sea question is
not new. It baa only been newly treated
in the most paltering way. There is every
resson to think tiiat a return to Mr. Bay
ard's thoughtful and conservative policy
would result in a permanent settlement of
this annoving question. An extradition
treaty with Kngiand that was a great
advance upon anything that proceeded it,
was a negotiation of Mr. Cleveland's
former admtnbtration and a result of Mr.
Bayard's work and was rejected by a parti
san senate for political reasons. The
Chinese question seems no nsarer u settle
ment than it was after the passHge of tho
Scott law. A bad South American policy
is to be changed quite as thoroughly as
Secretary Fre.injhursen was compelled to
do in " 1881. A new and sensi
ble policy is to be adopted, so
that permanent friendly relations
shall b re-established with all South
American countries instead ot the suspi
cious ones now existintr. Mr. Bayard is
familiar with all this, as he is also with the
advantages and the drawbacks of the
poli'-y of reciprocity engrafted upon the
McKinley bill just before its passage. He
would be prepared to enter upon ids work
almost without any necessity for the de
lay inseparable from the choice of a new
secretary. In general. Mr. Cleveland
could, by the choice of euch a man. al
nioöt hope to bein where be left oil, so
far as foreign aüairs are concerned.
Tha Kx-Premler (Junllfied.
For all these reasons, and others that
need not be recapitulated ; it is not un
natural that public attention should have
been directed again to Mr. Bayard as an
eligible man for reappointment to his old
place. lie has made no movement in
this direction.no more than he did iu
l&v, when, without solicitation or appli
cation on his own part, he was chosen for
this important post. It may l said, with
truth, that Mr. Bayard has perhaps seen
his old chief h sa during the past four
years tnan almost any oth-r one of his
chosen advisors, who live within a reason
able distance of' New York. Stranger
things might therefore happen than a de
termination on the part of the president
elect to 8-lect azain as secretary of state
his old-time esaociate and friend.
The fact that Mr. Bayard is today at
Mr. Cleveland's hou&e at Lakewood is
certainly as good an indication that the
president-elect is looking in that direction
as many of thoee upon which other cabi
net prognostications are bs d.
The president elect came up fron Lake
wood this morning on an early train and
went at once to ids otlice iu the Mills
building. The whole of his time was
tatcen up by interviews, e ime of which
had been postponed from laFt week, ow
inz to bis absence from the city. He re
turned to Lakewood earlv in the after
roon in order to meet Mr. i avard and his
wiie upon their arrival at the cottage. It
is not probable that he will return to the
city before Saturday, even if he does at
all during the present week.

GORMAN AND WHITNEY CONFER

Nr.n- Yokk, Jan. 23. An evening paper
says: "Senator Arthur P. Gorman of

steering committee ct the set ate, bsd a
conference to lay with the ll n. W. C.

There is trouble among the democrats of

The eituaiion in Montana has been the
subject of several previous conferences
between the democratic leaders and it
was thougnt once that tue trouble was

THE KANSAS FRDICA:.!ENT.
The Three Tarties on the F.t of a Ballot
Without an.i hlr.t f
Totek a, Jan. 23. Although the rarious
branches of the Kansas legislature ballot
separately tomorrow for senator, no candi
dates have up to this hour 01 p. m.l baen
decided upon by the three parties.
The popul.fts went into cau
cus at 8 o'clock. Then have to
decide first whether they wid nominate a
middle-of-the-road r-opulist or a demo
crat, and then to select from the various
candidates the nominee. There is no
telling what ther may do. John Mar
tin of Topeka is the only democrat
toward whom the populists seem well
dispoeed. Having unseated the repub
licans they have a majority of all the mem
bers of the pcpulist house and the senate
and can tl-ct a populiet if they want to.
They believe, however, a democrat with
populist tendencies wid be more likely to
receive recognition by the iederal cen
nta in the tvent of the re
publicans electing- a man and
sending him to Washington with creden
tials. Among the stalwart populist candi
dates ereJudire Frans Dosier, John F.
Willits, Dr. McLalan, editor of the .4.7
mce A'iiooi1''. To checkmate tins' move
by the populists, the republicans
have about decided to throw their
strength to a stalwart democrat tin
against John Martin, who represents th
fusion wing of the democracy. The sixty
four republican members of the lower'
house, with the reput lican senators and
the live democrat msKe a majority of
both houses in joiut session and could
elect a eeuator if they can decide upon a
man. So many stalwart democrats, how
ever, have their rodi up lor the sena
torial lightning that it will be a ditliculi
matter to concentrata upon one man.
Bailer P. Waggener of Atchiöon, Edward
Carroll of Leavenworth. A. A. Harris of
Ft. Scott and J. B. Watkins of Lawrence
are some of the democrats who hope to be
sent to the senate by the republicans.
The republicans, however, will take
no definite action until they
learn what course the populists
intend to pursue. The republican friends
of Senator Perkins are at work to prevent
any election bv the republican house ia
the hope that the populist hon.ee will be
declared idegai and the iederai senate will
decline to recognize their senator, thus al
lowing Senator Perkins to return to his
seat and fill out the unexpired portion of
the term of the late Senator Piumb.
THE STRUGGLE IN WISCONSIN.
niitchell, Bragg and Knight in Good FijM.
iog Trim.
Milwaukee, Wis., Jan. 23. Not in
many years has there been such interest
taken in the election of a V. S. senator for
Wisconsin aa is manifested at the present
time. From certain parts of the
atate come reports of growing and
chrystalizing sentiment in favor o the
election of Gen. Bragg, and members Irom,
some localities who bad civen their sup
port in the caucus last week to other can
didates have been sharply critl ised by
their const tuents and every possible ef
fort has been made to drum them into
the Bragg column. In Milwaukee the
democratic powers are equally act
ive in the in to rest of Congressman
Mitchell's candidacy, and there has
been practically no end to the
hustling done today in bis behalf. So
great is the interest felt here and so persist
ently are Mr. Mitchell' supporters work
in for his interests to secure all influence
possible that they secured an adjourn
ment of the common council this after
noon, all the democratic members of
which went t Madison in a body to work
in Mr. Mitchell's in:eret. Nearly every
democratic politician of the city is in Madi
son tonight.
The first ballot tonight and the eleventh'
since Wednesday was taken at 11 o'clock
as follows: Mitchell, 30; Bragg, 29;
Knisjrhht, 10. The second ballot was the
same as the first. This was followed by
four other ballots with no change and the
caucun adjourned at 11:30 until 2:30 p. ta,
tomorrow.
