An Insane Mother's Cruel
Treatment of Her Children
—General News.
Special to the Globe.
Ft. Sui.i.y, Dak., March 25.—
courier who carries supplies between
this point and Ft. Bennett arrived this
evening, having left the latter fort at
noon yesterday. He says Miss Cora
Belle Fellows is doubtless now the wife
of Chaska, the Sioux Indian. He did
not see the ceremony, as it did not oc
cur till 8 p. m., but he say* the arrange
ments were all completed when he left,
and that, instead of there being opposi
tion of any sort, there was great rejoic
ing throughout Swift Bird's camp at
the prospect of a wedding of such a
singular character. Chaska, he says, is
not the uncouth savage he has been
painted, but a remarkably bright and
industrious Indian, who, although
not an educated
man, has horse
sense to an unusual
degree, and is not
a repulsive man.
The camp ha d
made preparations
lor a great three
days' jubilation
over the event, and
were now.no doubt
celebrating after
the most approved
Sioux fashion. Mr.
Fellows, the young woman's father, and
Rev. Dr. Sunderland were not present;
in fact, neither of them came here.
Miss Fellows had a letter from her
father, a week ago, but the postpone
ment of the nuptials was not on account
of this missive, but to complete the ar
rangements for the matrimonial ven
ture. The story also that the girl's
brother had come an here from Chicago,
to puncture Chaska with lead in case lie
persisted in his yearning to become a
benedict, was made from whole cloth.
Miss Fellows has no brother, she says,
and laughs at the suggestion that her
strange matrimonial move may cause
trouble of a serious nature.
LEARNED IN WASHINGTON.
Col. Fellows Points Out Several
Misstatements.
Special to the Globe.
Washington, March 25.— The latest
advices received from Pierre, Dak., re
port that the marriage of Miss Fellows,
of Washington, to the Sioux Indian,
Chaska, is near at hand; that invita
tions have been issued, etc., that the
lather of the bride and her two broth
ers are present awaiting the ceremo
nies, and that, if the ceremony actually
takes place, the brothers intend shoot
ing Chaska. The author of this roman
tic story appears to be rather reckless
about his facts, as Col. Fellows is still
in Washington, and, when shown the
dispatch last night, said:
"In the first place, 1 am not there, as
you see. Secondly— l have no son, and
consequently Miss Fellows can
not have two brothers with her,
armed to the teeth, prepared to stop the
wedding. Again, no white man is
allowed on the Indian reservation,
which is several hundred miles in ex
tent, and therefore, no ranchmen or
cowboys could have been invited.
Lastly, it is utterly impossible for any
human being to get news from Swift
Bird's camp to Pierre, owing to the con
dition of the Missouri river, which is
choked with floating ice."
The last letter received by Mr. Fel
lows from his much-advertised
contained a simple recital of her daily
life. The only time the name of Chaska
has been mentioned by Miss Fellows is
in a letter to a friend in this city, in
which she mentioned him as having
been very kind to her. Members of the
Fellows family refuse to believe that
the young lady coutemples marriage.
Starved Her Children.
Special to the Globe.
Moorhkad, Minn.. March 25.— Mrs.
C. G. Thysell, wife of a prominent hard
ware dealer of Hawley, was brought to
this city to-day by an officer, examined
by the board and adjudged insane. She
had been confined to an insane asylum
twice before and discharged, the last
time a year ago. Last fall she moved
out on a farm with four small children.
Her husband is at present in Europe.
The children have been starved all win
ter and arc in a pitiable condition.
Saturday night she beat a little one
severely,oand it, with a brother, was
driven out into the "storm and found
shelter in a barn of a farmer. They
will die. Sheriff Jensen took the woman
to St. Peter this evening. The children
are in charge of the neighbors.

TWO SENSATIONAL CASES
To Come Before the Circuit Court
at Eau Claire.
Special to the Globe.
Eau Claire, March- 25.— The March
term of the circuit court, Hon. E. B.
Bundy presiding, ojrens to-morrow with
10 criminal and 107. civil cases on the
calendar. Among the former are those
against "Andy" Hamilton and Charles
Barkers, the keepers of dance dens near
this city. The Hamilton case has been
banded down from the administration
of the previous district attorney,
and has been on the calendar
so long that there is general
public wonderment that it has not been
pushed.. Among the civil cases' is that
of Julius Opdale, attorney, against W.
K. Atkinson, editor of the Daily Leader,
for $20,000 for alleged libel. Another
case which promises to be accompanied
by sensational developments is that of
Miss Jane Wyatt, music teacher,
against William 11. Kneeland, a well
known merchant, for $5,000 damages al
leged to have been sustained by plaintiff
from mental and bodily suffering oc
casioned by a quarred in which it is al
leged the defendant used physical vio
lence. The dispute was about a bill.
Mr. Kneeland's answer alleges that
plaintiff was under the influence of in
toxicants and that he used no more vio
lence than was necessary to defend him
self and family. The trouble having oc
curred at Mr. Kneeland's residence.
ROUGH ON LIND.
The Farmers' Alliance After a
Minnesota Congressman.
Special to the Globe.
Worthington, Minn., March 25.— At
a meeting of the Farmers' Alliance held
at this place yesterday, which was
largely attended, the following resolu
tions were adopted:
Whereas, It would be a benefit to farm
ers if jute, hemp and all other mater
rials from which binding twine is made
were placed upon the free list; and.
Whereas, There-is now a bill pending
before congress for the removal of the
duty on said articles, and many other
necessaries of life; therefore, be 'it
Resolved, That we sincerely desire
that our representatives in congress use
all honorable means to aid such measure
to become a law; and be it further
Kesolved, That whereas Hon. John
Lind, representative from this district,
is reported as having arrayed himself
against said measure on the ground
that it places flax and beans on the free
list, and that he fears if it becomes a
law foreign nations will import said
commodities into this district to such an
extent as to injure our home market;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That we believe his opposi
tion to said measure is without founda
tion and savors of a disposition to favor
monopolies rather than the wishes of
his district, and that if he persists in
opposing said bill without giving
stronger reasons than the above flimsy
excuse, we will hold him responsible
for being guided by partisan impulses
rather than candor or the wishes of his
constituents.
Court Doings at Chaska.
Special to the Globe.
Chaska, Minn., March 25. — The
grand jury brought eight indictments
against blind pig keepers, six of whom
plead guilty to the charge and were
sentenced to pay a fine of $50 each or
confinement in the county jail for four .
months. The latter the judge sus
pended indefinitely.
The case of Frederic litis, adminis
trator of the estate of John Happ, de
ceased, vs. the Cliicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul Railroad company was one of
the best contested cases ever tried in
this court. It took five days to try it.
Plaintiff sued defendant for killing
John Happ in June, 1880, by a switch
engine and two cars backing against
another car, which Happ and two other
men were pushing to a brick-kiln in the
yard of A. Rudeli. The jury brought
in a verdict of $2,000 in favor of plaintiff.
High Water Expected.
Special to the Globe.
Yankton, Dak., March 25. — The
great rise in the Missouri has not
reached here yet, but is hourly ex
pected. The river is clear of ice, a
gorge having formed fifty miles north.
Six inches of snow fell" to-day. and
the weather continues cold. This will
hold the ice gorges till the rush* of
water from the north reaches them.
Settlers along the river, from Bismarck
to Sioux City, are watching the situation
anxiously, and will move at the first in
dication of an overflow. The situation
on the upper river is identical with that
in the spring of 1881, when the Missouri
overflowed its banks for miles, destroy
ing life and property of great value.
Capt. Gould, an old steamboat man,
predicts very high water during the
next ten days.
A Prohibition County.
Special to the Globe.
Pipestone, March 25. — Pipestone
county can now virtually be called a
prohibition county. The forty-three ma
jority given against license in this city
at the village election last week was the
first step in that direction. Then Edger
ton, the second town in the county,
voted license by one majority, when
up steps the council and fixes the
license at $1,000 per year. Woodstock,
the third town in the county, voted "no
license" by a heavy majority. Then,
to "cap the climax," as it were, the
county commissioners have jnst met
and fixed the county license at $1,500.
A Narrow Escape.
Special to the Globe.
Anthracite, Man., March 25.-- -An
explosion of gas occurred Saturday
morning about nine o'clock in a 300-foot
shaft. A man named Joseph Moore had
descended the shaft about seventy-five
feet when his lamp ignited the "gas
overhead, causing an explosion. The
man's face and hands were badly
burned, but he retained sufficient pres
ence of mind to grip the steel rope and,
though badly burned, to pull himself to
the gangway. Another, who had first
entered the shaft, escaped witb his hair
singed.
Two Disagreements.
Special to the Globe.
Red Wing, March 25.— jury in
the case of The Slate vs. Alexander Har
rison, of Stanton, charged with inde
cent assault on Julia Van Guilder, aged
thirteen years, was discharged last
evening, being unable to agree, and on
motion of the county attorney the in
dictment was dismissed. The jury
stood eleven for acquittal to one for
conviction. Harrison is a man seventy
years of age, and the case has excited
considerable interest. This was the
second trial, tho jury having disagreed
in the former one also.
Cigar Factory Burned.
Special to the Globe.
Superior, Wis., March 25.— The cigar
factory and a stock of tobacco, owned
by Charles Gates & Co., of upper town,
burned to the ground ! late' last night.
The loss was $3,500, insurance $2,500.
Tlie fire started from the explosion of a !
lamp in the basement of the building.
The building, being several : miles from !
either the West or East end fire depart- :

Very Serious Results Follow
the Attempt of Editor
O'Brien to Speak.
By Cable to the Globe.
London, March 25.— the close of
Mary Anderson's final performance at
the Lyceum theater last night she was
called before the curtain and cheered
for fully five minutes. Miss Anderson
was much affected by the ovation. In a
neat speech, begun in a tremulous tone,
she thanked her audience and promised
to return to the scene of their apprecia
tion and affection in a year or two,mean
while taking a much-needed rest. At
the close of the speech the applause and
cheering were renewed with.if possible,
greater enthusiasm than before, many
of the audience continuing their shouts
of "God bless you, Mary," after the
actress had retired from view.
AMERICAN CONSERVATISM.
Balfour Utters Words of Praise
for the Great Republic.
By Cable to tbe Globe.
London, March 25.— 1t is expected
that the budget, which will be intro
duced in the house of commons by Mr.
Goschen to-morrow, will present many
original features and some hitherto un
conceived plans for remodeling the fiscal
system. It is strongly suspected that
heavy taxes will be imposed upon per
sonal property, and the question arises
in the minds of those most interested in
this species of taxation, has Mr. Goschen
solved the problem of taxing personal
property without subjecting the tax
payer to anodious inquisition? If the
authorities charged with the assessment
of personal taxes were to be stripped of
inquisitorial power, it would doubtless
matter little to the persons assessed
how high the rate of taxation might
be -placed, but in the absence
of any information on this point
there is a general feeling of appre
hension that the government will
provide means to ascertain the exact
liability of every person affected by
the proposed change. Mr. Balfour's
speech at Staleybridge last evening has
attracted a great deal of attention. In
declaring his belief that America is the
MOST CONSERVATIVE NATION
in the world. The Irish secretary ex
plained that* the term conservative was
applied to the affection of the Ameri
can people for their institutions. This
remark and its explanation have
caused considerable distrust of the gov
ernment's sincerity in introducing the
local government bill and other reform
measures, and a great deal of specula
tion among amateur politicians as to
what the ministerialists intend to do.
The adherence of the Americans to the
institutions handed down by their fore
fathers, Mr. Balfour said, is a remarka
ble example of natioual pride and na
tional strength, and in respect of this,
the finest form of conservatism, Amer
ica stands first in rank in the civilized
world. England, owin_r to the strength
of her institutions, is only slightly be
hind the republic. The general opinion
is that if Mr. Balfour's speech means
anything at all, it indicates the idea of
the government to make as few and as
slight changes as possible in the exist
ing institutions of the kingdom, no
matter what it may promise to do.
SEVERAL BROKEN HEADS.
Irish Police Have Serious Trouble
With a Crowd.
' Dublin, March 25.— William O'Brien
addressed the Ponsonby tenants at
Youghal at an early hour this morning
and afterward attempted to hold the
meeting which had been proclaimed by
the government. He mounted a car
with the intention of addressing the
people, but was seized by policemen
and dragged to the ground. The police
then charged upon the crowd with
drawn batons, and a serious melee en
sued, in which a number on both sides
were wounded. It is alleged that sev
eral of the police were stabbed. Magis
trate Plunkett was thrown down and
beaten and he received a cut on the
head. Mr. O'Brien escaped to a priest's
house and subsequently harangued the
crowd in a stable. Police and soldiers
are parading the streets of the town.
Villages Inundated.
Berlin, March 25.— Low lying dis
tricts along the banks of the rivers Elbe
and Vistula are inundated. The village
of Dornitz is isolated in the midst of a
great lake. A number- of sol
diers from the nearest garrison,
after arduous efforts, succeeded
in reaching there with a supply
of food for the inhabitants, but fifteen
of them were drowned in the attempt.
Further attempts to relieve numerous
villages in a similar position are being
made. The floods, it is estimated, cover
200 square miles of territory, and alarm
ing rumors of the extent of the damage
done are circulatee.

A "BOARD OF CONTROL"
The Kind of a "Trust" the Burlington
Road Wanted.
MUCH OPPOSITION TO IT.
A Proposed "Adjusting Board" to Take
Up and Settle Disputed ' 2 i : 2
Questions. 2^(2'
Chicago, March 25.— T0-morrow the
Chicago Times will print the following
regarding the answer to the Burlington
made by the Rock* Island in the suit
brought in Judge Gresham's court,
charging that the Burlington conspired
to create a great Western railroad trust,
and in pursuance of that policy held
down rates for some time after
the other roads were will
ing and anxious to restore them:
"Without any reference to the merits '
of the charge that the Burlington was \
seeking to establish a 'trust' there was,
without doubt, a movement in favor ov
ereating what was to be known as a
'board of control,' which was .to hay
the power to decide all questions arising
between the railroads in the West, »■ to
arrange the rates on and control the.' 1 ■
through and competitive business of
the Western lines. At the first con-*
ference, held about a month ago, this f
plan was submitted and rejected by a*
large majority. Justly or not, the im
pression prevailed that it was a Bur
lington plan, and it was common gossip
among the officials that the three mem
bers of Mm^SmfmmWmmW^SEm
THE "BOARD OF CONTROL"
would have been E. P. Ripley, general
freight agent of the Builington; J. W.
Midgeley, of the Southwestern, and J.
N. Faithorn, of the Western and
Northwestern freight bureaus. The
officials were persuaded that the
board thus constituted would have
been managed in the inter
ests of the Burlington, and from this be
lief arose the intense opposition to it.
At this same meeting, upon a proposi
tion to restore rates, the Burlington rep
resentative voted in the negative, it
being understood that that company
would not acquiesce until a per
manent agreement between the
competing roads had first been
arrived at. Since then the conference
committee has agreed upon a report to
be submitted to the managers, which
provides - for an 'adjusting board' to
take up and settle disputed questions, j
and thus is really a board of arbitra
tion, its power being limited aud the
right of appeal arranged for."
Subsequently the Burlington agreed
to restore the "rates, but for what rea
son has not been made apparent. . :■ ,-*;•*■•

Washington, March 25.— Blame
managers are in conference here for the
purpose of deciding whether to have
the Plumed Knight goto the front again
or whether it would be better to pick
out a good dark horse, sound in wind
and limb, that would not be handi
capped with a record, and start him
over the course. The Blame men are
confident that they hold the key to the
situation— that they can nominate him
if expedient, and if not throw his influ
ence to some candidate whom the Re
publicans throughout the country would
recognize as the heir to the prestige of
this dismounted knight. Charles Emery
Smith, of the Philadelphia Press,
reached here last Tuesday, and he and
Phelps have been confabulating over
the question ever since.. Hiscock claims
the honor of succeeding Blame, and
nothing will ever shelve him but a di
rect announcement that Blame is again
in the ring. This dilemma complicates
the situation greatly, and B. F. Jones,
of Pittsburg, chairman of the Repub
lican national committee, was tele
graphed for to help Smith and
Phelps out of this extraordi
nary emergency. By next week
it will probably be decided officially
whether or not Blame must be perma
nently retired from politics. The New
York Press published a significant in
terview with Chauncey M. Depew. An
Albany dispatch reported that the
great after-dinner orator would within
a week write a letter absolutely with
drawing his name from the list of presi
dential aspirants. Upon this statement
Mr. Depew was interviewed.
"I am not," said he, "writing letters
on politics, nor do I intend to do so.
That report probably started where
many other reports and alleged inter
views with myself started— in the brain
of the originator. There are interviews
purporting to have been had with me
appearing all ever the country. ' Only a
few days ago a column and a half inter
.view appeared in a Western paper. It ;
made me talk on politics and labor ques
tions, and placed the interview in my.
'office. No such - interview ever took
place in my office, nor do I recollect see
ing a reporter on the day of the alleged
interview." , '. ■ '.
"Are you a candidate for the presi
dential nomination, Mr. Depew?" was
asked.
"1 have perhaps said fifty times al
ready that lam not a candidate. I do
■not care to talk about myself."
1 "Have you heard much talk regarding
your candidacy?"
) "I have views regarding other men,
but no personal' views regarding my
self."
! • "Who is your choice for president?"
I "I have never hesitated to announce
my choice as Mr. Blame."
• "Do you think it possible, as has been
said, that the mention of Mr. Blame's
•name in the Chicago convention may
arouse such enthusiasm that there will
be a stampede, and Mr. Blame will be
unanimously nominated?"
"I think that very possible."
"Do you believe that Mr. Blame, in
the face of his expressed desire to have
his name withdrawn from consideration,
would accept the nomination if made in
such a manner?"
; "The convention would adjourn im
mediately after the nomination, and I
do not think that Mr. Blame would com
pel the Republican party to hold another
convention."
• "What would Mr. Blame's chances be
if nominated?"
7' "Good. Mr. Blame would have this
advantage, that all stories about him are
old. Old stories, like venerable chest
nuts, never shoot twice in the same
place.' Consequently if Mr. Blame were
to ran against Mr. Cleveland again,
there could . be nothing to say against
Mr. Blame, while Mr. Cleveland's ad
ministration would furnish ample new
material on which to base attacks."
. Mr. Depew was asked if he regarded
Mr. Sherman as a strong man.
• "Yes," was the reply, "he has been
in public life for a generation, and has
; demonstrated himself to be a states
man. His ability as secretary of the
'treasury has never been questioned,
and his administration of that office has
made him very strong with business
men."
"How about Gresham?"
I , "Mr. Gresham is a very good man. . I
know him personally and know him to
possess every ability that can be de
manded of a candidate of the Republi
can party."
*■".' "Do you think that besides Mr. Blame
any of the candidates have any peculiar
■fitness to carry the state?"
• "I do not. I believe that any of them
has a good fighting chance to carry New
York, and that there is not much choice
on that score."
"To show the bad blood existing be
tween the friends of . Harrison and
t Gresham, the Critic prints the following
•interview with Hon. John 0. New, of
"Indianapolis, who is now in Washing
' ton. It says Mr. New is enthusiastic
for Harrison, and he says the sentiment
in the state has crystallized around the
"Harrison boom.
"Judge Gresham," said Mr. New, "has
■no strength to speak of. He is not of
the people, never has been and never
will be. The people that talk of his
popularity are a few railroad receivers,
j clerks and lawyers in Chicago. He has no
f claim on the Republican party, as his
record will show. He has never done any
thing for the party except to find fault
and criticise the leaders. He has
never missed an opportunity to; speak
harshly of the grand old party, and
severe critics are not the ones to unite a
party."
When asked if Judge Gresham could
.carry Indiana, - Mr. New replied:
■ "Carry Indiana? Never. His nomina
tion would give the state to the Demo
crats beyond the shadow of a doubt."
"Could Harrison carry the state?"
' "Yes, by 20,000 majority. He would
! sweep the state like a whirlwind.;, He
as strong in the affections of the people,
and should he be nominated the success
of ' the :-•* Republican \ party 7 would : be
; assured . . He will have the state delega
. tion jin the • convention, and they will
j stick to him to the last. - By nominating
:i Harrison we make Indiana a sure Re
i' publican state."
ON THE BURLINGTON.
A Report Afloat That the Brake
men Will Soon Strike.
Chicago, March 25.—Nothing has yet
been done by the Burlington road in re
gard to the hiring of new men to take
the places of the striking switchmen,
and nothing will be done until 1 o'clock
to-morrow afternoon, when, if the strik
ers do not report for duty, they will be
discharged and will not be again em
ployed by the company in any capacity.
The company is quite confident that it
can successfully cope with the new foe.
Already it has nearly 100 applications
for the vacant positions, and it is stated
all the places can doubtless be filled
with good men within twenty-four
hours. The strikers held enthusiastic
meetings to-day and resolved to ba
firm in their new departure. It
was ascertained to-night by an
engineer, who claims to be fully
posted in regard to the general
condition of the strike, that the action
of the Burlington switchmen is the re
sult of a perfect understanding and
agreement with Chief Arthur, of the
engineers, and Grand Master Sargent,
of the firemen. The allegation is made
that the brotherhood,'finding the cause
of the Burlington strikers a losing one,
finally determined to look for allies
in the camps of the switchmen and
brakemen. A deal was made by which
the switchmen on the Burlington were
to go out, and the brotherhood treasury
was to be drawn on to furnish them
with funds during the period that they
remained idle. It is also stated that a
similar arrangement has been made
with the brakemen, and that a strike on
their part may be looked for at any
time. -

Two Kentucky Suicides.
Louisville, Ky., March 25.— 1n the
Wyoming neighborhood, near Ovvings
ville, Ky., to-day two men shot them
selves with suicidal intent. One is dead,
and the other probably will die. Thomas
B. Hamilton, formerly judge of the cir
cuit court at Owingsville and neighbor
ing county seats, has been in ill health
and despondent for some time. He was
sixty-seven years old, and often said he
was of no more use in the.world. - This
morning while his family was away he
blew his brains out. The other case
was that of Lee Kice, a young farmer,
who has been regarded as prosperous.
He shot himself this morning, but is still
alive. No cause is assigned.
INTO THE THOUSANDS.
A Michigan Man Who Is Too
Handy With Signatures.
DETKorr.March 25.— Joseph B. Kemp,
an upholsterer doing business on Clin
ton street, was arrested yesterday and
taken to lonia by Sheriff Lee, of that
county, on a charge of forgery. Sheriff
Lee had a warrant sworn out by the
Murphy Mattress and Spring Bed com
pany of this city, based on one especial
note of $40, to which Kemp is alleged to
have forged the name of Murphy & Co.
and used it in payment of a bill for
lumber at lonia. Sheriff Lee, however,
exhibited several notes which had been
given into his possession, all of which
Lee claimed to be forgeries executed by
Kemp. Kemp was manager of a
contract which Murphy & Co. had at
the lonia prison, but resigned his posi
tion in September last. It was part of
Kemp's duty to purchase lumber of
various parties. The bills were sent on
to the firm in this city and a check for
the amount returned. The • indorse
ments on some of the checks are al
leged to be forgeries. Mr. Murphy said
last night: "We have found recently
that many of these bills were plainly
fictitious. The amount reaches up into
the thousands. We can not tell as yet
what it will prove to be."

to be Buried.
Philadelphia, March 25.— 5. Red
field, a wealthy retired business man re
siding near Florence, N. J., committed
suicide last night by taking laudanum
and opening one of the arteries in his
arm. Mr. Redfield was seventy-nine
years old, and was formerly a well
known New York business man, of the
firm of Redfield & Co., book publishers,
lie was apparently cheerful until he re
tired to his room. There he wrote sev
eral letters to different parties in regard
to business affairs, and one to Mr. Potts,
which reads:
Will: lam about to take French leave of
you all. I expect you will find my body cold
enough in the morning. You will have to
get the coroner. After he Is done he will
give you a certificate of burial. I request you
to have a plain pine coffin and no ceremony
whatever, and I prefer to be buried in the
apple orchard.
Redfield leaves a wife in the Trenton
asylum, and a sister and three daughters
in New York. He was well connected
in both New York and this city.

will be taken to Toledo Wednesday
afternoon, leaving the Baltimore &
Potomac depot here at 2 o'clock by
special train in charge of Robert Parke,
Southeastern passenger agent of the

composed of a combination car for the
remains, four Pullman sleeping cars
one for the associate justices of the
supreme court, one each for the delega
tions from the senate and house of rep
resentatives, and the fourth for friends
of the family. The private car of C. C.
Waite, vice president and general man
ager of the Chicago, Hamilton & Cin
cinnati, and a dining car will also go
through as part of the special train.
The schedule time for reaching Toledo

Dakota in the Way.
Special to the Globe.
Washington, March 25.—Hon. Mar
tin Maginnis says: "We have great
hopes that the Indian reservation in
Montana will be opened by the present
congress. There are millions of acres
of the finest land in the republic held
by the savages, and they do not need
them while the progressive whites do.
Delegate Toole is doing good work for
us, and I am trying to help him a little."
The major does not speak very hope
fully concerning the matter of state
hood. He seems to regard the Dakota
muddles as detrimental to Montana, for,
he says: "Dakota is large, and she is
quarrelsome, and makes considerable
fuss. Montana simply points to her
merits, and asks for statehood. But we
are kept in the back ground by the big
dust and wind which blows here from
Dakota."
No Present Change hikely.

: ' Washington, March 2.">.— fight
'over the Mankato postoflice has devel
oped the fact that the Democrats of that
place cannot agree upon a candidate.
Until they do, the Democratic congress
men will take no hand in the contest.
The large majority seem to favor the
appointment of John C. Wise, and his
appointment would be made but for
Sabin's former, opposition. It is feared
that be would again kill the nomination
in the senate, if it were made. At pres
ent, it looks as though Mr. Cannon will
remain in charge of the office for an in
definite time. Postmaster General
Dickinson does not seem inclined to
take up the case. He does not care to
bother himself nor to trouble the presi
dent with it.
Rusk "Out of Politics."
Special to the Globe.
. Washington. March '11.— Gov. Rusk,
of Wisconsin, has been on the floor of
house almost daily during the past
week. Ue is in no sense a sick man, al
though when he went South, a little
over a month ago, some of his friends
feared that lie would not live through
the winter. He declines to talk politics,
and says he knows absolutely nothing
even of Wisconsin In political airs,
except that he is not a candidate for
governor, nor for any other office. It is
generally conceded, however, by Re
publican congressmen from that state,
that a solid delegation will go to Chi

Fran "Will Stick.
Special to the Globe.
Washington, March 25.— 1t is de
nied at the department of justice that
the successor of Judge Francis is about
to be appointed. The officials there are
of the opinion that Judge Francis will
be permitted to serve out his term. At
torney General Garland, stated last No
vember that the request of Judge Fran
cis' resignation had been withdrawn
temporarily, but would be made again
after the February term of court. Now,
it is said, that inasmuch as the term of
the j udge will expire in July, it is not
deemed expedient or necessary to com
pel a change at present. Col. Benton,
of Fargo, is not a candidate, and will
not make any effort to get the office.
Liberality Looked For.
Special to the Globe.
Washington, March 25.— is impos
sible to ascertain anything like the ex
act figures of the appropriations to be
made for rivers and harbors in the
Northwest. Members who incline to di
vulging the secrets of the committee
do not agree in the figures which they
give. One member, who ought to know,
says there will be an appropriation of
$7,000,000 for the Sault ."Ste. Marie canal.
Another, who is equally well posted,
says, "$3,000,000 would be more than
can be used In one year." The general
impression, however, seems to be that
all Northwestern waterways will be
most liberally dealt with by the com
mittee. '

THE SOLON'S' SCHEDULE.
Many Things Congress Is Xol
Likely to Do This Week.
Washington*, March 25.— There will
probably be a struggle for precedence
in the senate to-morrow between Sen
ator Palmer, with his bill to establish a
bureau of animal industry, and Senator
Piatt with his South Dakota bill. Sen
ator Palmer's bill holds the position of
unfinished business, but Senator Piatt
will ask that it be displaced. Both sen
ators express a purpose to do their ut
most to secure the right of way. The
winning measure is likely to take up
nearly all the time of the senate through
out the week. Wednesday will be de
voted to the obsequies of Hit- late chief
justice. The Memphis bridge bill may
secure a hearing in the morning hours,
and it is probable that Senator Wilson,
of Maryland, will some time during the
week ask that the regular order lie laid
aside to afford him a chance
to deliver his speech on the
character of the Western mail service.
One day may be devoted to unobjected
cases on tin" calendar. District Of Col
umbia matters will occupy the first leg
islative day of the week 'in the house,
prominent among them being the bills
to promote anatomical science in the
district by giving paupers' bodies to
medical colleges, and the Georgetown
and Tenaleytown cable railroad bill,
both of which will be subjects of con
troversy.
THE COMMERCE COMMITTEE
will be given the floor Tuesday. it has
selected a large number of bill's for ac
tion, including the Nicaragua canal
bill, the bill to loan government exhib
its to the Ohio centennial exposition, the
bureau of health bill, the -'drummers' "
bill and the bill to prevent frauds on
American manufacturers, in addition to
a great number of bridge, lighthouse
and life-saving station bills. It is also
the intention to call up the postal tele
graph bill, not for action, but to raise
and determine the question as to the
right of the commerce committee
to substitute such a bill for the one
which proposes to place telegraph
companies under the operation of the
interstate commerce law. Wednesday
will witness the funeral services over
the remains of the late chief justice.
The public lands committee will en
deavor to get the house to resume the
consideration of the general public
lands bill on Thursday. The Logan-
Blair pension bills will probably give
rise to an Interesting debate li Idas .and
the week will close with the considera
tion of bill reported from the committed
on private land claims. The tariff bill
prepared by the majority of the ways
and means committee will make its ad
vent in the house early in the week and
be placed upon the calendar.

fact gave rise to rumors of an alarming,
though fortunately entirely unfounded,
character.
