. Washington, December Hon.
John Lind was the only • Minnesota
member not in the house to-day, and he
is expected here late to-night. Senator
Davis was on duty to-day, and his col
league, Senator Sahin.arrived this even
ing with his family and registered at
the Biggs. 'Senator Sabin said: "I
shall return to Minnesota soon. There
are certain matters there in which 1 am
personally interested, and I shall feel it
incumbent upon myself to look after
them." "When asked concerning his
canvass for the senatorship, he said:
"I am a candidate for re-election, and
brieve I shall be re-elected. However,
the other fellows can do the claiming if
they want to." In reply to a query as
to who is conducting his canvass, he
said: "I believe that I can do that
pretty well myself. At any rate, lam
trying." Congressman Mac Donald to
day introduced the petitions from North
Dakota, brought here by Bierley, of
Grand Forks, and mentioned in yester
day's Globe. * These petitions* recite
the arguments contained in former divis
ion pamphlets and arguments. Their
chief significance lies in the fact that
North Dakota now petitions . -for state
hood for South Dakota and asks consti
tutional conventions for Montana,
Washington and North Dakota. It is
safe to say, as already stated by the
Globe, that Springer's opposition will
prevent division and admission this
session. Gen. Harrison Allen, Hon. W.
R. Bierley, ex-Gov. Ordway and the
Globe man were guests at the banquet
of the convention for promotion of the
constitutional centennial exposition of
the three Americas. Gov. Ordway was
selected as a member of the executive
committee. Senator Davis is non-com
mittal concerning the senatorial contest,
and says he has been too busy with
other matters to look into it. Besides,
he regards it his especial business not
\o know anything about it.
REPOSE TO BR SCARED.
Republican Leaders Say That
They Will Have a Majority Not
withstanding the Fluke in West
Virginia.
Washington, D. C, Dec. The
receipt of the news of the result of the
recount in Charleston, W. Va., by which
Anderson',' Democratic candidate for
congress from the Third district, is
given a majority of seventeen, and the
election of Fleming, Democratic candi
date for governor, is said to be assured,
did not disturb the Republican leaders,
so they say. They assert that their
majority in the house in the fifty-first
congress, with the West Virginia dele
gation solidly Democratic, will" be five.
The only apparent effect of the West
Virginia news was to slightly strengthen
the sentiment among Republican mem
bers in favor of holding an extra session
soon after the beginning of the new
administration. It Is conceded that Gen.
Harrison will make his action in this
matter conform largely to the wishes of
the members-elect.
THE SAME OLD TACTICS.
Filibustering Representatives Use
Up a Whole Day to Kill Off a ;
Monument Measure.
Special to the Globe.
.Washington, Dec. 4.— The feature
of the house proceedings to-day was
the unsuccessful effort to pass the bill
to erect a monument to Maj. Gen. Henry
Knox. The speaker laid before the
hous. the annual reports . of the secre
tary of the treasury and the comptroller
of the currency, which were appropri
ately referred. Mr. Mac Donald, of
Minnesota, presented a petition of citi
zens of North Dakota for the immediate
admission into the Union of South Da
kota and Montana. During the clos
ing days of last session Mr. Ding
ley, of Maine, succeeded in hav
ing made a . special order for
to-day a bill for the erection of a monu
ment to Maj. Gen. Henry Knox,- at
Thomaston, Me., but subsequently Mr.
Kilgore, of Texas, entered a motion to
reconsider the vote by which the order
was made. Mr. Dingley to-day called
up this motion and moved to lay it on
the table. After filibustering tactics on
the part of Mr. Kilgore, the yeas and
nays were ordered, and Mr. Dingley's
motion prevailed— yeas 125, nays 53.
The house then proceeded to the con
sideration of the bill. Mr. Dingley said
it was a senate bill. He briefly sketched
the public service of Gen. Knox. Mr.
Kilgore did not think that Gen. Knox's
reputation was superior to the constitu
tion ot the United States. In his opin
ion congress exceeded its authority in
using tlie money wrung from the people
by taxation to erect monuments in Maine
or Texas or Colorado. Mr. Breckinridge,
of Kentucky,. said that there were upon
the calendar twelve bills for the erec
tion of monuments throughout the
country, the appropriations contained
therein aggregating 8275,000. lt seemed
to him that the government was going
-into the monument business rather at
wholesale. Mr. Spinola, of New York,
favored the bill. On the demand for
the previous question the vote stood :
Yeas 111, nays 46— no quorum— a
call of the house was ordered. Further
filibustering ensued. Finally, Mr. Ding
ley yielded to M«\ Mansur, of Missouri,
to offer an amendment locating the
monument in Washington. The previ
ous question was ordered on the amend
ment and the .third reading of the bill.
On Mr. Mansur's amendment the vote
stood: Yeas 66, nays 92— no quorum—
and more calls followed. This pro
ceedure was continued until 5 o'clock,
When the house adjourned. '. . :

ONE SCORE AND ONE.
Senator Gibson Would Establish
a Bureau of Health of ; Twenty-
Members.
Special to the Globe.
Washington, Dec. 4.— Senator Gib
son, of Louisiana, to-day introduced a
bill to create a bureau of health and. to
prevent the introduction and extension
of contagious and infectious diseases in
the United States. The bill provides
that the bureau shall be established in
the department of t»»e interior and be in
charge of a commissioner at a salary of
$5,000. A health commission of twenty
members is to be appointed by the pres
ident, to be divided among the yellow
fever, cholera, typhoid," scarlet fever,
small pox and diphtheria sections, the
member's salaries to be $1,200 each ; but
they will only be actively engaged when
called to duty in emergencies. The en
tire commission is to meet in this; city
in April of each year to adopt plans and
make regulations for interstate quaran
tine. An appropriation of $100,000 is
asked.

It Will Pass.
Special to the Globe.
Washington, Dec. 4.— The question
to come before the house Wednesday
will be the refunding of the direct tax
to the Northern states. This matter was
filibustered against and defeated" of
consideration last May. The matter
was compromised by fixing Dec. 6 for
the reopening of the matter. Here,
again, we have a sectional issue. The
people of the South are perfectly will
ing to have that direct tax refunded to
the Northern states, but they want, at
the same time, to be relieved of the old
cotton tax. It is safe to predict a stormy
"scene; but the bill, once before the
house, will undoubtedly pass, for nearly,
if not quite, four-fifths of the members
are in favor of it. ■ ■ .-. ; 7 7
Thousands of Militiamen.
Special to the Globe.
Washington, Dec. 4.— Ohio will send
4,000 militia and Pennsylvania will send
7,000 to take part in the inaugural pro
cession in March. They will come in
regulation uniform, and every man will
be fully equipped for field service. The
committee on military affairs is busy
arranging for quarters for the incoming
troops. There is a general sentiment in
favor of making Gen. Sherman marshal
for the day. It will probably be the last
time he will ever have an opportunity
to marshal so great a host and maneuver

Acting Without Authority.
Special to the Globe. . -*,-. ,
Washington, Dec. The special
committee of the senate investigating
the cattle shipping question, which held
several sessions in St. Louis recently,
will reconvene in this city to-morrow
morning at 10:30. Some, of the mem
bers of the committee are of: opinion"
that theie is no authority under the
resolution authorizing the committee to
•continue its work through them for a
continuation of the investigation now
that congress has reassembled. If the
committee decides to-morrow that it
lacks the necessary authority it will re
port a resolution to the senate giving it
authority to continue the investigation.

Special to the Globe.
Washington, Dec. The house
postoffice shows many changes in the
city address of members of congress.
Quite a number of those gentlemen have
returned without their families. Many
of them kept house here during the
long session, but they can not afford to
do so this year. They will only be ab
sent from their homes for three months.
Those who were not re-elected will not

Hoping Against Hope.
Special to the Globe.
Washington, Dec. 4.— Some of the
Southern members, who favor the Blair
educational bill, have hopes of securing
its passage this winter upon the argu
ment that, if the Democrats refuse to
it, the Republicans will smash the solid
South with it during the Fifty-first con
gress. But they have in their way the
fact there is a most determined minority
opposed to the bill, and that it it should,
by any possibility pass, the president
would veto it. The best informed Demo
crats believe that the bill will get no
consideration this winter. . !:••■■-

Special to the Globe.
Washington, Dec. 4.— Various an
nual reports, including that of the sec
retary of the treasury, were presented
and appropriately referred to the sen
ate to-day. Mr. Frye at 12:30 moved to
proceed to the consideration of the
Union Pacific settlement bill. Mr.
Mitchell opposed the motion, on the
ground that he had had no time to ex
amine the report. Mr. Teller also fa
vored a postponement of the matter.
Mr. Frye said he did not, of course,
wish to urge the bill upon the senate if
sufficient opportunity had not been
given tor reading the report and investi
gating the subject, but the matter was
a very familiar one to the senate. The
report had been made in writing, and
had been printed as long ago as ' July
last. The bill, he thought, could be dis
posed of in four or five morning hours.
Mr. Plumb regarded the bill as being a
matter more of private than • public
interest. There was no particular
reason for haste, as the debt would not
mature for nine years. In his judg
ment it would require a good deal of de
bate. Without saying what might
eventually become of the bill, he
thought it would be found to be one of
rather more importance than the sena
tor from Maine . seemed to think. Mr.
Frye asked that the bill be made a
special order for Tuesday next. On
Mr. Plumb's objecting, Mr. Frye gave
notice that to-morrow he would ask to
have a special order. On motion of Mr.
Allison the tariff bill was then at 12:30
taken up for consideration. Mr. Vance
said that Democratic senators who had
amendments to offer to the tobacco sec
tion (the first in the substitute), were
not prepared to offer them to-day, but
would be to-morrow. He .therefore
asked its postponment till 2 o'clock to
morrow. Mr. Allison— this bill is to
be postponed till to-morrow, I suggest
that it be taken up immediately after
the morning business. Mr. Vance—
That will be agreeable to me. The
bill was postponed till to-morrow, and
the senate at 12:55 adjourned.

GATHERING OF GREAT MEN.
Meeting of the Board of Promo
tion of the Proposed - Constitu
tional Centennial."
Special to the Globe.
Washixgtox, Dec. 4.— There was a
notable gathering at Willard's hotel to
day. The members of the board of
promotion of the proposed constitu
tional centennial and the world exposi
tion assembled there at noon. This
board includes representative men
from every part of the country.
This was a general meeting
ot the board to hear the re
ports of officers and of the executive
committee showing the progress made
in the work of preparing the way for
the proposed celebrations. Mayor Smith,
of Cincinnati, as a vice president, took
the chair. Mayor Smith made a brief
speech, commending the objects that
they had in view. Mayor Smith called
for the report of the executive commit
tee. Secretary Anderson presented
this in an address. He said that the
110,000,000 people of the new
world desire to commemorate the
400 th anniversary of the discovery
of v America by Columbus, and
eighteen American sister republics de
sire to celebrate the centenary of the
inauguration of constitutional govern
ment upon " the Western hemisphere.
The movement, he said, has -received
the written indorsement of the gover
nors of forty states and territories, who
have formally accepted membership in
the national board of promotion. It
has been indorsed by the mayors of
fifty-seven leading cities, 160 presidents
and secretaries of boards of trade
throughout the United States,
and the masters and secre
taries of most of the state and
territorial granges. In brief, it has re
ceived the cordial and enthusiastic ap
proval of the press and public of the
three Americas. In addition to this,
thegovernmentof Spaiu has acted offi
cially in the matter, and has expressed
a desire to pay tribute to America by
celebrating the four-hundredth 7anni
versary of its discovery. Secretary
Anderson explained that the proposed
exhibit by merchants and manufact
urers is but a temporary affair for • the
six months of 1892, and should then
be removed; whereas the state and
territorial and the three Americas
exhibit should remaia for all time, as a
lasting monument to the progress and
developement of American states and
nations. The proposed exposition of
the three Americans at Washington, he
said, is a matter of transcendent practi
cal importance to the merchants and
manufacturers of the United States,
and may easily be made the entering
wedge to an enlarged foreign- com- :
merce with the rest .of :tbis hemi
sphere. Letters from a 7 number
ofgprincipal people, who, were un
able to be present, were read. Resolu
tions were offered and adopted to the
effect that the bills now. pending in con- ■

Jamestown, Dak., Dec. Delegates

have already begun to arrive, and rep
resentatives from Benson, La Moure,

The Dickey county delegation came up
this evening with the Oakes band. The
sentiment of all : is in favor of speedy
admission, but opinions as to the
method of procedure, and the proper
work of this ; convention are widely di
verging. There are some who advocate
conservatism, and say "make haste
slowly," particularly the Missouri
slope representatives, who profess to
doubt the authority of the convention
to take such action as will prove effect
ive. - They oppose the calling -of a
constitutional convention mentioning
that legislative : authority for such is
necessary. The prevalent sentiment,
however, of delegates already here '. is
decidedly favorable to -the calling of a
convention and preparation for . speedy
admission. These maintain that con
gress will admit the four Northwestern
territories at an extra session provided
they are prepared for admission, and
urge the importance of prompt and de
cisive action. Only a small part of the 1
delegates are here, and whether or not
such, call will be issued is of course
problematical. j The convention.will be
practically unanimous except on this
point. A memorial for an extra session
of congress will be passed aud a call
for an territorial convention will
be issued. The convention may. last
until Thursday. Delegates from the

ocrats will be among the delegates. It
is reported that r as usual a double
headed delegation will come from Cass'
county. What the division point is is
not clearly known, except the : general .
rule. of Cass county delegations. One

other wants, whatever that may. be.

little caucussing -has been done. Bis
marck men,- who are hostile to calling a
constitutional convention before the
legislature meets, will present j ex-Gov.
Pierce as ; a candidate for chairman.
Gen.' Ward and J. W. Bartholomew, of
Lamoure, are mentioned as candidates
of the opposition sentiment for chair
men.. The impression, that no one of
pronounced political prominence should
be chosen to this office, on account of
its leverage in furthering some personal
scheme, now gaining ground. Many
delegates from . the distant parts
of the territory are emphatically ex
pressing themselves as favorable to an
early constitutional convention, and not
in favor of letting the legislature orig
inate it. They claim political combina
tions might prove barriers, and although
no well-defined fears of such are enter
tained, still such feeling exists.

ENERGETIC ENGINEERS.
Those Employed on the Montana
. Union Go on a Strike.
Special to the Globe. A
; Butte, Mont., Dec. 4.— The continued
; blowing of whistles at 2 o'clock to-day
caused a large crowd -of people to col
lect on the streets who were looking in
all directions for a fire. Investigation
proved the alarm to be a signal for
strike on the Montana '-■ Union railway.
The whistles blew on the hill .near the
Syndicate mines, where three locomo
tives were * brought to a standstill, and
several engines at the depot could also
*be heard. The report of a strike • was
soon confirmed, A reporter visited the -
Montana Union up-town office and met
Supt. G. W. Dickinson, who was asked
to verify or deny the report of a strike
on his road. He said he ; didn't know
anything about the matter, and if there
was a strike he had not been informed
of it. This is all the information that
could be gained from the suderindend
ent. - The cause of the strike is reported
to be a difficulty with the master
mechanic, who discharged Engineers
McLaughlin, Weeks and Lecamp, and
upon being asked to reinstate them re
fused as to McLaughlin. At South .
Butte most of the engineers have quit
work. Sheriff Lloyd went down to the
depot to see that the regular mail and
passenger train -was - not detained. It -
left shortly after 2 r o'clock, not being
delayed more than half an ; hour. ■ The :
steam and water have ; been blown out
of the engines on Anaconda Hill and
they are all lying idle. 7At South Butte
the men are all standing around in an
orderly manner, but will not go to work.
The strike has | extended, to the "entire
system •of the : Montana Union and
threatens to stop the production ; of the
copper mines here and ;at Anaconda.
Supt. Dickinson held a conference with
the men, but they refused to go to work
unless- their demands were complied
with, while Dickinson asked for further :

Justice Bach Will Decide a Fore

is Interested.
Special to the Globe.
Great Falls, Mont., Dec. Judge
Bach is hearing a foreclosure suit
by the Farmers' Loan and ' Trust com
pany of New York, as trustees for the
bondholders of the North Montana
Cattle company. The corporation was
formed in June, ISB6. It succeeded to
the business of the Montana Cattle
company, and issued bonds to take up
the indebtedness of that concern.
Among those interested in the North
Montana Cattle company are Russell B."
Harrison, son of the president-elect; W.
H. H. Miller, of Indianapolis: Gen.
Harrison's law partner; J. C. Johnson,
of Washington; John S. Blair and J. K.
McCannon. The last named was form
erly assistant attorney general of the
United States. The suit is based upon
alleged breaches of the terms of the
mortgage. The bonds Issued by the
cattle company, amount to $750,000.
The breaches alleged are failure
to keep defendant's herd up to 22,000
head, as agreed ; the failure to pay in
terest on the bonds, and the sale of cat
tle , by which it is asserted the number
was diminished. The defendants de
murred to the complaint on the ground
that the suit was" prematurely brought,'
claiming that no suit to foreclose could
be brought until twelve months after
interest on the bonds was due, and that
no default : was made until January,
1888. The court overruled this demurrer
and the case went to trial. The plaint
iffs called two witnesses and introduced
the record as evidence. The defendant
moved for a non-suit on the ground that
no breach had been proved, holding
that ail decrease in the herd resulted
from the severity of the winter, and not
from sale. The defendants stand on
the demurrer and the motion for non
suit. . Judge Bach has taken the case
under advisement.

o'clock this morning twenty armed men
succeeded in effecting an entrance to

derer Witherell was confined. The
prisoner ' broke up his bed and
with a portion of the frame
knocked several of the mob down.
Three shots were then fired by
members of the party and \\ itherell fell
on the floor with his shoulder shattered.
He was immediately carried a short dis
tance from the jail and strung up to a
telegraph pole without resistance, and
his body left hanging until daylight this
morning. Witherell never said a word
after being wounded, and appeared
most indifferent as to his fate. Harry
Perdue, another murderer confined in
the jail, was not molested. The crimes
Witherell was accused of are four in
number. In 1872 he • murdered his em
ployer, a sheep man named Wall, liv
ing*!!! Elbert county. He was arrested
and sentenced for life, but was pardoned
a year ago. 'In September he started
f rom'lronton, a small town in the south
ern part of the state, for Silverton, with
two acquaintances. Witherell arrived
at Silverton with the teams belonging
to these men, but the men were
never seen or heard of. • There ' was no
evidence to convict him of killing
the men, and he was never ' arrested.
Witherell went from there to Pueblo,
sold the horses, and subsequently be
came acquainted with a man named
Charles McCain. The two started from
Pueble for this place in October last
with two teams belonging to McCain
for the purpose of hauling ore. Wither
ell appeared in Denver, where he at
tempted to sell the teams that belonged
to McCain. He was arrested. McCain's

"The words 'Not good for passage -ill
detached' would seem to have been sd
placed upon the ticket to prevent inn
position by a separation of the parti

ticket, but when such parts of - tha
tickets became separated by such mad*

preme court at Madison to-morrow. Tha
case is the first of the kind in the state
and involves a point of law of great in-l
terest to lumbermen, contractors and
- loggers. The action is based •on tha
following facts Robert Patten, of this,
county, sold to the Northwestern Lum*-*
ber company for . use in its camp id
Taylor county, a bill of goods for log*
" gers' supplies amounting to 11,500.* Tha
"bill was presented and payment refused,.
The plaintiff then made a lieu upon tha
logs cut at the camp. .Suit was brought,
the lumber company putting in a de
fense that " the lien law did not coven
goods purchased outside of the county.'
By a peculiar law it is claimed ' that in
Taylor county the lien law covers log*
gers' supplies, but that it does not apply
to Chippewa county; therefore tha
plaintiff could not place a lien upon log*
cut in Taylor county. The lowa court
decided, in favor of Patten, awarding',
him a judgment for the fuU amount.
