England's Offer to Aid Ger- many in Zanzibar Was a Silly Mistake. Anarchist Parsons' Widow Tendered an Ovation by English Sympathizers. All England Astonished at All England Astonished at Salisbury's Outspoken Utterances. Davis, the Disgraced Tory Davis, the Disgraced Tory Member, Will Be Bounced From Parliament. Special Cable to the Globe. Berlin, Dec. I.— The recent lecture in Berlin by Maj. Liebert, of the gen eral staff of the Prussian army, respect ing the German policy in Zanzibar, a verbatim report of which has now been printed in nearly all the leading En glish papers, confirms the misgivings which were aroused by the news th t .Lord Salisbury had agreed to a policy of co-operation. The policy, according to Maj. Liebert, who is undoubtedly in a position to know whereof he speaks, is as follows: In the first place, satis faction for the murder of German sub-' jects and the destruction ot German property was to be obtained, and the punishment of the delinquents to be secured. To compass these ends reprisals are to be executed on the "re bellious" inhabitants. The compensa tion is to be extorted, not from the in habitants, but from the sultan of Zanzi bar, and "in the event of refusal an adequate amount of customs is to be ap propriated." This done a force is to be enlisted in India for the reconquest of the so-called German territory. In the second place measures are to bj devised for the suppression of the slave trade. No doubt Maj. Liebert's views are not expressed in the German communica tions to Lord Salisbury,' which were published the other day. But the Ger mans have never, since they have had a colonial policy, disclosed their inten tions. They asked for English assist ance to a person whom they de scribed as a mere scientific explorer at a time when that person had in his pocket instructions to make haste to an nex the Cameroous before the English officer, who was known to be on his way to that place, could arrive. Moreover, the Germans have invariably repulsed the policy of humanity which England has sometimes pursued; and the German government refused at the Congo con ference to agr,ee to an article prohibit ing the importation of fire arms and spirits into tropical Africa. The object appears to be to force the sultan of Zan zibar into an attitude that will give the German admiral an excuse lor hostili ties which may end in the Germans be ing "unfortunately, and to their great regret, compelled to annex the islands." LUC!' TARING LEAVE]. Anarchist Paasons' Widow Tend- ered an Ovation on Her Depart- ure From gland. Special Cable to the Globe. BEg London, Dec. I.— -Crowds of anarch ists assembled at the St. Pancras rail way station last evening to bid farewell to Mrs. Lucy Parsons. Just before her departure the crowd sang "Annie Laurie," the song which Parsons sang before he was hanged, and a band played the "Marseillaise." Mrs. Par sons' visit to England has resulted in drawing a sharp line between the Lon don socialists and the anarchists, across which the former look down upon the latter. SURPRISED BY SALISBURY. The Premier's Declaration in Favor of Female Suffrage Aston ishes All England. Special Cable to the Globe. London, Dec. I.— Lord Salisbury's declaration in favor of female suffrage in his speech at Edinburgh yesterday has taken everybody by surprise. In com menting on the speech the Pall Mail Ga zette declares that it is the most memo rable utterance that has fallen from the lips of the premier in many years. Continuing, the paper says: "Lord Salisbury said lie was speaking for him self only, but we earnestly hope that the day is not far distant when women will also bear their share of voting and determining the policy of the country. We can conceive of no argument why they should be ex- eluded, since it is obvious that they are as abundantly fit as a great many others to possess the right of suffrage, by reason of knowledge, training, charac ter, influence and weight thrown in the direction of morality and religion." The Gazette concludes its article by promis- ing to supwort the idea with all its heart in "the event of its being made a gov ernment measure. DAVIS is DONE FOR. The Disgraced Tory Parliament- arian Will Not Return to His Seat. Bpecial Cable to the Globe. London, Dec. I.— lt is asserted that Robert Gent-Davis will not return to his seat in parliament. The parlia mentary procedure prevents Mr. Healy fiom moving the issuance of a new election writ on Tuesday, as he had intended to do, but it has been arranged that the chief Tory whip shall shortly announce that Mr. Davis' seat is vacant, when the writ requiring a new election will be is- sued. It is now asserted that Davis' family has raised the funds necessary to meet his obligations and prevent legal proceedings. COMPELLED TO RETIRE. Speaker Peel Puts the Screws to an Outspoken Liberal Parlia mentarian. London, Dec. I.— the house of commons to-day the speaker ordered Cunninghame Graham, advanced Lib- eral member for the northwest division of Lanarkshire, to withdraw from the house because he had accused Mr. Smith, the government leader, of con- niving at a dishonorable trick and had refused to retract the accusation. As Mr. Graham was leaving the house a member shouted, "Bravo, Graham." In an interview Mr. Graham explained that the trouble arose over the action of Brooke Robinson, Conservative mem- ber for Dudley, in putting a motion on the paper to prevent discussion upon the chainmakers' grievances. Mr. Graham had characterized this as a dis- honorable trick, and had expressed the belief that the government had insti- gated Mr. Robinson to perform it. He had refused to withdraw this statement, and hence his dismissal. Mr. Graham Bays he will not apologize, no matter what the result may be. SUPPRESSION OF SLAVERY. A Warm Discussion of Britain's Foreign Policy by Able Parlia mentarians. London, Dec. I.— The house of com mons went into committee' of supply this afternoon on the vote of £236.260 for embassies and missions , abroad. John Morley moved a nominal reduction in order to raise a discussion on the pro posal to send British troops to Suakim. He denounced the government's policy of shedding blood and wasting the country's treasure in ' projects which would result in no good to any human being. The government ought either to advise the Egyptian government to abandon the situation, or England ought to make a more serious attempt to suppress the slave trade and intro duce civilizing forces into the Soudan. Sir James Fergusson, parliamentary secretary to the foreign office, replied that the present government was not responsible for the waste of treas ure and blood in the Soudan. The ad vice sent to the Egyptian government was to maintain a" purely defensive policy, with as small a force as possible, and to devote its funds to internal de velopment of the country. But a de fensive policy did not imply the sur render of Suakim, which would leave the country overrun with Arabs. In the surrender of Suakim the only station would be given up from which ships could operate on the Red sea coast for the suppression of the slave trade. Surely, said Sir James, Mr. Morley did not suggest the absolute abandonment of Suakim? -Recurring to the slave trade, the speaker said he was able to intimate that the govern ment had proposed to Belgium to initi ate fresh references to the powers on the lines indicated by Cardinal Lavig erie, with a view to mitigate the evil. It was the policy of the gov ernment to encourage commerce with Central and East Africa. The develop ment of commerce was the best method of combatting the slave traffic. If a road was pushed into the interior so that cheap and easy transportation was available, tlie system of slave porterage would no longer be profitable. He trusted that the house would support a work promising such blessings to humanity. [Cheers.] Mr. Morley's mo tion was rejected by a vote of 136 to 101. GEFFICKEN NEED NOT WORRY It Appears That in the Doctor's Case Bismarck Has Bitten Off More Than He Can Masticate. ' Special Cable to the Globe. Berlin, Dec. The trial of Dr. Gefficken, if it makes no progress in fact— for the German government is ap parently in no hurry to decide the fate of the unfortunate publicist— has at least had the effect of exciting a large portion of the German public. A pamph let published at Hanover by the well known bookseller, Mierzinsky, and pur porting to be from the pen of a German judge, expounds at great length the law applicable to the case, the nature of the proceedings and the political re sults which may in any case be expect ed from the trial. It seems that it will be necessary to prove not only that, the publication of Frederick's diary consti tuted a publication of state secrets, and that such publication was and is inju rious to the welfare of the German state, but also that Dr. Gefficken was fully aware that the publication would be so injurious. Furthermore, it appears from this pamphlet that the ordinary method of proof in such cases would, if adopted, lead to the summoning of Prince Bismarck as an expert to prove by his statements on oath the danger to the state resulting from the publica tion. It is believed in German con servative circles that the writer really intends to convey an attack upon Prince Bismarck, and that the form given to the pamphlet is due to an attempt to avoid persecution for libel or treason, or some other of the various offences of which all the chancellor's enemy are guilty. ■ TONES OF THE THUNDERER. The Times Violently Opposes the Appointment of Sir Henry Nor- man as Governor of Queens- land. Special Cable to the Globe. London, Dec. I.— The Times is vio lently opposed to the appointment of Sir Henry Norman to be governor of Queensland. Concerning his se lection and its consequent effect "the Thunderer" says: "The appoint ment puts an end to the personal asp ect of the matter, but it does not re move the friction which had its begin ning under the administration of Sir Anthony Musgrave over the pardon of a prisoner, which was finally granted by the eolouial office direct. This fric tion will be continued over the case of the crew of tlie ship Hopeful, who were condemned for conspiracy and slave dealing, in having procured a number of south sea islanders to work on plantations for stipulated wages and selling them into bondage. There was a strong popular demand for the pardon of these men, but Sir Anthony Mus grave refused to grant it. .He died a short time ago, leaving the matter open. Sir Anthony's son-in-law is at pres ent in charge of the government of Queensland, and there is no reason to believe that either he or Sir Henry "Norman has any desire to settle the matter. The Times believes that the Queensland colonists are more than ever anxious to secede from the empire and questions the wisdom of continuing to allow them the liberty they have hitherto enjoyed. CHEERS FOR FRANCIS JOSEF. The Austrian Reichsrath Lauds the Emperor Who Has Ruled ' for Two-Score Years. Vienna, Dec. I.— ln the lower house of the reichsrath to-day, Herr Smoltka, the president, referred to the fact that Emperor Francis Josef's accession to the throne took place just ;- forty years ago. He said that, though It was the desire of the emperor that the day should be marked solely by works of charity, it was never theless fitting that the free and chosen representatives of the people should express their views upon the importance of the event. He de scribed the emperor's reign as one of rich blessings, and emphasized the cordial affection which existed between the emporor and his subjects. The em peror was the head of an empire which was more respected than ever before, was sought as an ally, and was es teemed as a strong and faithful con federate. At the end of Herr Smoltka's speech, cheers were given for the em peror.gflßßß m Movements of Ocean Steamships. Movements of Ocean Steamships. Boston— Arrived: Bulgarian, from Liver pool.

The Austrian Emperor Will Cele brate the Fortieth Anniversary ■of His Ascent to the Throne To-Day. Vienna, Dec. Emperor Francis Joseph celebrates to-morrow the for tieth anniversary of his ascent to the throne. He forbids the holding of pub lic festivals in honor of the occasion. Recently he remarked to Count yon Taafe that 'to hold a jubilee on the fiftieth anniver sary of his accession would be proper enough, but tnat to publicly celebrate the fortieth anniversary would be sheer nonsense. He will pass the day in ab- solute solitude at Castle Miramax with the empress. Public recognition of the anniversary will be limited to prayers in the churches. ROBINSON IS RIGHT. South Australia's Governor Speaks for the Colonies. Adelaide, N. S. W., Dec. I.— William Robinson, governor of South Australia, has declared that there is no desire in the colonies to lessen En- gland's constitutional responsibilities in the appointment of colonial govern ors. He is of the opinion that when the wishes of the colonies are fully under- stood by the iiome government, an ad- justment satisfactory to all, parties will net be difficult. He has suggested that the colonies send delegates to England to confer with the government upon the subject. The press support the views of the governor. President Diaz Sworn In. City of Mexico, Dec.

CHARGED TO THECHRQNICS The So-Called Split in the 6. A. R. Greatly Exaggerated. ENGINEERED BY SOREHEADS. ENGINEERED BY SOREHEADS. Indiana's Department Commander De- nounces the New Movement and nounces the New Movement and Those Behind It i: . ; i Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. The so- called split* in the Grand Army of the Republic, which originated here, con- tinues an uppermost theme, in veteran circles and. with the local press. That the movement has been greatly exaggerated- by the Eastern press is admitted on all sides here. Tlie organization of Demo- cratic soldiers is so far less importance than it has been made to appear, and charges that the reports regarding it are based upon information emanating from Adjt. Gen. Koontz. Inquiries to-day among Democrats" who belong to the G. A. R. demonstrates that very few of them are in sym pathy with the movement, and do not .Indorse the assertions of Gen. Koontz in saying that politics have been introduced in the order. Maj. Irvin Robins, one of the ex-commanders of the Gen. Thomas post, who was prob ably more prominent in organizing Democratic soldiers during the cam paign than any other man iv the party, is not a member of the association formed by Adjt.-Gen. Koontz, having DECLINED TO JOIN IT. There are many other Democratic ex- soldiers of prominence who do not be- long to the organization, among them Gov. Gray, Col. Zollinger, Maj. Mitchell and others. Maj. Mitchell, who is a prominent Democrat and prosecuting attorney for this (Marion) county, speaking of the matter this even- ing, said: "As a member of the G. A. R., I can say that during all the time I have belonged to George 11. Thomas post, politics never at any time, in any shape, manner, or form entered into the work of the post, any more than politics may be intro duced in church organizations. It can- not be made any more of a political or- ganization than the order of Masons, Odd Fellows, or Knights of Pythias."- Col. I. N. Walker, assistant adjutant general of the G. A. R., department of Indiana, makes the following pointed statement: "I want to enter a protest against the statements as interviews published especially in the Eastern press, about a defection among the comrades of the G. A. R. in this department. Nothing of the kind has occurred, and the member- ship was never more united and enthusi astic in the support of the order than now. The handful of disappointed CHRONIC OFFICE-SEEKERS here that have . succeeded in getting themselves advertised throughout the country have no standing, nor never had, in the G. A. R., or out of it, for that matter. The whole business has been engineered by half a dozen chronics, and at no meeting have they been able to secure the attendance of fifty persons, and not to exceed half these have ever oeen members of the G. A. R. No Democrat of standing or influence in this community, who is ' a member of the G. A. R. can be found opposing the order. On the contrary, scores of comrades of that political faith have - personally and by letter de- nounced the attempt of these small-fry politicians. The Department of Indi- ana is all right." -^ STJB-TROPICAL DAKOTA. Territorial Merrymakers Amble Around in Summer Clothing. Special to the Globe. Jamestown, Dak.. Dec. I.— Residents of this city turned out en masse . to the basket picnic held in Fuller's grove to- day, aud festivities were a complete success. The weather, was fine. A pro- cession inarched through the principal streets, headed by the Light Guards' drum corps, followed by a platoon of police, the mayor and city council in white hats, linen dusters and palm-leaf .fans. A wagon with iced lemonade, ice cream, etc., prominent citizens in carriages and 200 citizens on foot, dressed in summer cos tume. The procession halted at Tuller's grove, where the picknicers spent the afternoon in hammocks and swings, playing base ball and partici pating in other summer sports. The occasion was one of geueral enjoyment and will be long remembered as a novel method of ushering in winter. Died in a Sleeping Car. Special to the Globe. Prairie Dv Chien, Wis., Dec.

Hage, who has long been head' clerk in the revenue collector's office in this city, has become a defaulter for $6,500 and has left town. She disappeared on Thursday, and on Friday, her brother; formerly deputy collector under the Arthur administration, was horrified to receive a letter from his sister, mailed in Philadelphia, in which she stated that she had gone away to escape trouble. She then went on to say that she had taken $6,500 of the govern- ment's money, and that she had lost the most of it in speculation. The recent death of the internal revenue collector would have necessitated the examination of the books and expose her, which probably caused her flight. The peculations have been going on for a year. Her bondsmen made good the amount to-day. The defalcation causes a sensation. ..'.-' SAM KEE IS SLICK.

J A Fall in the Temperature of the Blazing Calumet and Hecla Mine Gives Ground for Hope. : Special to the Globe. Calumet, Mich., Dec. I.— A slight fall in the temperature in the burning Calumet and Hecla mine to-night gives ground for hope that the fire is burning itself out. The mine will not be flooded. but the flames will be smothered and allowed to exhaust themselves.'-' No preparations are being made to send down carbonic gas, the fire being so near the surface, and there is such. a strong draft upward in the burning shaft that it is believed the flames wiil die out in a few days, though it may continue for weeks. No clue has yet been obtained as to the origin of the fire. The theory has been advanced that the wire skip rope in passing swiftly over the rollers in the skipway, might have caused the fire by friction, but such a theory has been discarded by the mine authorities, as the skips ran quite slowly that night. A rigid examination has been made of all the men working in that portion of the mine, but nothing that would throw any light upon the subject was elicited. No. 3 shaft being over 2,000 feet from the burning Hecla shaft, . where the last fire occurred, and no fire ever having crossed over to the Calumet branch of the mine, this theory is also untenable. The prevailing opin- ion is that the tire was the work of an incendiary. ' . ■» LIFE NOT WORTH LIVING. Lack of Money, Health and Posi tion Drive E. O. Salisbury to Suicide. : ' New * York, Dec.

The man was a member of a Brooklyn Masonic lodge, and iv a letter to his sister, Mrs. Dr. K. W. Truman, of De Kuyter, N. V., he stated that lack of money, health and position drove him to suicide., Tie besought her to "break the news care fully to our dear old mother in Detroit, Mich., and tell her not to grieve for me, tor I hope 1 shall be better off in the other world."

Scott, of Pierce City, arrested on a , warrant for obtaining a letter from the mail by fraud and opening the same. Scott is one of tlie most prominent citi- zens of Pierce City, and his arrest ere- ated a great sensation. The story is full of interest and quite ro mantic. Last June young Scott, who is quite well off, went to Benton ville, Ark., and opened a hotel. During the month of July Miss May Broscombe, of Kansas City, and her mother arrived there to spend the summer. Miss Broscombe is nineteen years of age, beautiful, fas- cinating and an acknowledged society belle of Kansas City. In two weeks Scott had fallen a victim to her charms and married her. Then followed wild amusements and the lavish use of money, ending in bankruptcy. The young wife was the center of attraction at grand balls, suppers and carnivals. A close attendant of Mrs. Scott was L. J. Schick, Jr., a Kansas City traveling man. The husband expostulated in vain. Finally, he took his wife to Pierce City, where they lived quietly for a month or two. Mrs. Scott, however, kept up a corre spondence with Schick, and one day the husband, mad with jealousy, * se- - cured a letter from the . postoffice ad- dressed by his wife to Mrs. Jennie Hen- derson, Kansas City. He opened it and found inclosed a letter to Schick, expos- ing^ is alleged,a conspiracy between his | wife ] and Schick to mulct him of his property. He upbraided his wife, and ! that night she left for Kansas City. ' Schick is a married;man with an inter i esting family. Young Scott's parents are very rich, and he has already se | cured bail, and.it is said can have $1,000, --' 000 to back him in his troubles. A writ has been issued upon which his wife will be brought to Springfield. SHE SHOT TO KILL.

Mr. l Burdes suspects a man who stood near him at the counter, and i who was making signals, as he now thinks to a man on the pavement with- out. Shortly after the robbery a waeori was stolen from a place near the bank, and it is supposed that it was taken by the thieves. SHOT BY HIS PARTNER.

Special to the Globe. Chicago, Dec. I.— There was a big crowd in the criminal court .this morn- ing to listen to the arguments in ; the case of Hronek, the alleged dynamiter. Assistant State Attorney Elliott occu- pied tne time until noon, and after a careful analysis of the evidence, de- clared the man to be guilty and asked the jury to give him the extreme pen alty, twenty-five years in the penitenti ary. Mr. Elliott was followed by At torney McGaffey, for the defense. The attorney for the defense occupied the greater part of the afternoon, and in closing his speech, stated that he had positive proof that the evidence given on the stand by the informer Chleboun, was unlike his first confession to In- spector Bonfield, and hinted that it had - been made ■ up to suit the exigencies -of -'■'• the case. -When he had finished, the court took a recess until 7 o'clock to-night. When the case was resumed ' State's Attorney Long- necker delivered the closing address for the prosecution, and said that the evi dence showed positively that the pris oner, John Hronek, procured the dyna mite for, and it was HIS PURPOSE TO KILL Judges Gary and Grinnell and Police Inspector Bonfield.

The attorney hurried to their places, the judge took - his . sta tion, and the spectators quickly filled up the seats in the court room. The prisoner was then brought in, and the jury filed in and took their seats. The ver dict was handed to the clerk, who read as follows: , "We, the jury, find the defendant guilty as charged in the the indictment, and fix his punishment at twelve years in 1 the penitentiary." A friend leaned over, to tell Hronek the verdict, but he looked up with a pleas- ant smile and said: "Ich verstehe."

Some interesting ; developments are looked for as the matter progresses, and it is possible that outside ; parties may be implicated in the steal. The matter is the subject of general comment. * The community 'in general fail to realize that Charlie Winchell, as he was famil iarly known, has proven false to the trust shown in him, but such is: un doubtedly the case. Most of Winchell's bondsmen— ten in all— -were here to-day for the purpose of looking into the mat ter. *er* "' '•''•' i- " ' ' Drummers Have a Feast. Drummers H ave a Feast.

Special to the Globe. Dcs Moines, 10., Dec. I.— Yesterday a farmer named Coffman, living in Shelby county near the Carroll line, was butchering several "hogs. His little boys, aged five and three, were watch ing the operation with considerable cv- riosity, and after a while the elder of the two told his little brother to come out in the yard , and he would show him how to butcher. The little fellow followed his elder brother some distance from the house, when the five-year-old took a hammer and struck him in the forehead, and then taking a long sliver of glass struck him' in the neck with it, inflicting a ghastly wound and severing his wind pipe. Medical aid was summoned with all haste, but the poor little fellow was soon beyond assistance and died in a few hours. As soon as the elder brother realized what he had done he ran away from the place and was found several hours afterward a considerable distance from the house by his father. GALENA GALORE. A Vein of Rich Quartz Located Near Wakefield. Special to the Globe. Ashland, Wis., Dec. I.— Capt. W.W Warner has located a silver lead for the Minneapolis & Goebic company, whose property joins the Washburn mine on the north.: The new company has had a force of men at work during the past week, and has succeeded in opening up a very promising vein of quartz and vein matter fourteen - feet in width. It has been surfaced about 100 feet in length and the formation runs perfect, so there is no doubt that the vein is several hundred feet in length. The quarts runs high in galena silver, and the lead is about 300 feet from tho Washburn company's quartz mill. Every one of the old options held by iron mine prospectors have been taken up and many new ones. The woods around Wakefield are fairly alive with explorers. yy'yC y '..':..' A Frightful Runaway. Special to the Globe. fcWWffl Sauk Center, Dec. I.— A serious ac- cident occurred here this afternoon. ". It was the runaway of the horse of B. J. Woods. :- The carriage at the time con- tamed Mr. Woods, his sister, Edna Woods, and Miss Lillian Knott. As they were going down Second street the horse was frightened . and became unmanageable, and turned partly out of the road, overturning and breaking the buggy, and throwing the occupants out. Miss Woods struck in such a po sition on her back as to seriously injure her spine, and it was thought for some time that; her back was broken. She lay unconscious for several hours, and when she was brought back to conscious ness it was only to rave in delerium. The physicians have decided that her back is not broken, and some hope is entertained of her recovery. Mr. Woods and Miss Knott were also in- jured to some extent, but not so badly as to be in any danger. The buggy was completely demolished. • Fooled the Burglar. Special to the Globe.

Trump, the Terror of Towerr Trump, the Terror of Towerr Attempts to Kill a Fin- lander. Cain's Crime Duplicated by. the Young: Son of an . lowa Farmer. Special to the Globe. Fort Dodge, 10.. Dec. I.— Word was received hero to-day of the death of Nathan Barber, of Stratford, from the effects of his being evicted from the river lands." Barber's wife left him two- weeks ago, and the sorrow he manw tested made him ill. Then the marshal put him off his place, and tho effects of the exposure and the additional sorrow caused his death. A new phase in river land mat- ters came up to-day when ' Noah Springer, through a justice's court*and a constable, replevined some stock taken from him by the marshal to pay the costs of eviction. The constable took a horse, but lawyers say that ho had no right to do so, and to prevent the - loss of all the property confiscated for costs, the river land company will' fight the case through the courts. FORFEITED HIS BOND. Citizens of Pembina Want Mai) Agent Wright's Scalp. Special to the Globe. St. Thomas. Dak., Dec. I.— Th», Wright embezzlement case, which was' to have been heard at this place ore- United States Commissioner Yorkey, did not materialize. Wright, the de* fendant, failed to appear either in per-. son or by attorney, and his bond of $500 - declared forfeited by the commia* sioner, who will at once proceed to col- lect it. As the commissioner's process is : not good outside of the territory, and as Wright cannot be arrested on his run, which terminates outside of the terri- tory, nothing can be done to inforce his attendance, except through a bench warrant, and Commissionei Yorkey has- decided to apply for one before Hon.; Charles F. Templeton, judge of the, Eighth district, at once. The letters' written by Wright, which appeared in the Globe and Press- or Thursday, have aroused the, indig- nation • of the entire community. His statement in the letters that his first knowledge of the loss of | the regis tered letters was on the 20th of October, when O'Cdhnor and others forced- their way into his car, is evidently erroneous, as Postmaster O'Connor has in his pos- session communications from Wright on, this subject bearing dates, one Oct. 12, and the ; other Oct. ./. 18. Postmaster O'Connor i. a general favorite here, and the failure of Wright to appear, to- gether with the imputations cast on Postmaster O'Connor by Wright's let- ters, caused the citizens to call an in- dignation meeting and pass the follow-; ing preamble and resolutions: /;*'• Whereas, On the 11th day of October. 1888, a certain registered letter,.said to con-. tain $100, addressed to the Bank of St. I Thomas, was received at the St. Thomas postoffice, which was within a few minutes. thereafter, by mistake, placed in the mail' pouch destined for the north-bound train; and said registered letter never having since) been heard from, and steps having been taken by the postmastei here to investigate', the loss of the same, and •<- \ Whereas. The mail clerk, M.C.Wright;l who had charge of the north bound mail car, on said 11th day of October was arrested for. embezzling tbe said letter, :er the post- master bad exhausted all peaceable means to secure an investigation of the loss of the same: and. Whereas, The said M. C. Wright having failed to appear before D. W. YorKer, Unite- States commissioner, to answer to . said charge after entering into a recognizance in, the sum of SSOO to secure his appearance for such examination, although allowed con- tinuance of the examination for three sue- cessive times at his own request; now, there fore, be it Resolved, That we, the business men of St. Thomas, Pembina county, Dakota, do hereby express our utmost faith and belief in the honesty and integrity of Postmaster Archie O'Connor, whom we have known and dealt with for the past five years; and be it further nil" nMjllll 1 1" "tnl.iwhi. Hlßßlll l'iljTl] Resolved, That the continued non-appear ance of the said M. V. Wright to answer to the said charge, together with his willing- ness to deposit at one time $1,500 in the Bank of Neche, pending an investigation. which promise he has failed to make good, leads us to believe that he is unwilling to trust to the laws for vindication of his inno cence, but on the contrary seeks to establish.. the same by inuendoes against the postmas ter, his deputy and the special correspond-: ents from tnis place of the Globe aud Pioneer Press by writing scurrilous letters over his signature in the above-named papers. Be It further i Resolved, That we demand at the hands of the postal authorities of the United States that the said M. C. Wright be suspended from the further discharge of his duties as postal clerk uutil he submits to legal investi gation of said charges at the hands of the Dakota law officers. Be it further Resolved, That copies of these resolutions be sent to the Pioneer Press and St. Paul Globe for publication, and to the first assist- ant postmaster general at Washington. E. S.
