Considered In Cabinet, But Affairs stiIi Threat
sning.
LONDON, Dec. 15.-The Pail Mall Gazette
in leading editorial this evening says the
summoning Of the Cabinet for meeting to-
day will not cause much surprise among
those who have been watching events closely
and have observed Forster's character For
one thing it has been an open secret that one
of the most important members Of the Gov
eminent has borne with great uneasness the
decision at the last meeting not to ask for CO.
erciye measures. For another thing the
want of grasp and firmness which Forster
has shown from the first is exactly the quail
lily from which we might expect precipitancy
at last. It Is very grave crime, both to
England and Ireland If Gladstone and one
section of his colleagues refuse acquiescence
in extraordinary measures. 1t seems almost
certain that the ministry will fall to pieces.
If the Government decide with or without
the consent of Parliament to adopt extraor-
binary measures of repression there will still
remain the immediate risk of worse troubles
in Ireland, and will hand it over definitely
to the home rulers for the future. 1t Is prob
able that Forster will obtain in some form
extraordinary powers which his subordinates
at the castle have at last persuaded him he
should have. 1t is unlikely that ministers
who have hitherto opposed coercion will
break up the Government rather than allow
In December what they may be compelled
to allow in January. The chances are that
by this time tomorrow we shall have once
more committed ourselves to the old policy
of arbitrary government.

A Cincinnati Blaze

CINCINNATI, Dec. ia fire in John p.
Gays bucket factory, on the corner of New
and Culvert street, occurred here tonight,
in which five persons were burned to death.
The nearest fire company to the ground was
No. 4. This company was the first on the
ground and the first to enter the second
story, the object being to fight the fire on the
ground floor, sending streams Of water down
chute and down the stairways, and to ar
rest the progress of the fire to the three upper
stories, which were still intact. There were
in the room Chief Bunker, Assistant Marshal
Scheldmeyer and Acting Captain Higginson,
all of whom came out alive. There were
also Thomas Cooling, son of Captain Cool
ing, of the Fours, William Kelly and David
Lowe, regular pipemen, Edward Parker, a
runner Of the Fours, and Andrew Barrett. q
pipeman Of the Skies, all five of whom were
brought out dead. They were standing
around the chute, sending stream of water
down, when suddenly, as if shot from can
non, burst of scorching air and binding
smoke, mingled with flames, broke up with
lightning suddenness through the chute.
Those who got out can hardly tell how
they did 1t. All five Of the victims were
dead when their bodies were obtained three
hours later. All leave wives and children.

repudiated your professions, turned traitors

yourselves as utterly without principle, hon.

cheap-very cheap; for the disgrace and in

The Democratic press here are unmistaka-

that he advocated the reputation of Kelly
altogether, and regretted deeply the promi-
nence that he was given in Cincinnati. He
was jubilant over Kelly's ousting from the

it is believed that he sacrificed the Democra-

.cKLAHAMA. SETTLERS.
$4,000 Settlers Already Aeros. the Line.

HUNsEwELL, KS, December 1.-THE
Oklahama settlers broke camp on Bitter
Creek at ten o'clock this morning and came
here along the State line, closely followed
by the Federal cavalry under Col. Coping
er. The Federals also encamped here but on
the Indian Territory. A conference held
between Captain Paine and Major Madison
on one side and Col. Coppinger and Lieut..
Mason occurred this morning, but was re-
sultless. The United States troops were
told by the coionists that they would enter
the Territory of Oklahama at any hazard I'M
less prohibited by Congress. Recruits are
constantly pouring in and many are crossing
the line. 1t is estimated that 5000 have
already crossed the line.
HUNNEwELI, KS, December 12.-There
is no new move of the Oklahama settlers.
They spent the Sabbath in religious worship,
two members of the colony conducting the
services. Col. Coppinger and Lieut.. Mason
came over to the camp of the settlers and
Joined the services. These officers, by their
kind persuasion, are having great influence
over the settlers, and If bloodshed is pre-
vented it will be through their influence.
They have won the settlers over to the be-
lief that the army would rather escort them
over to Oklahama than to prevent them go
ing, and they had better await the action of
Congress. While the determination to 90 is
still strong is is now hoped that conservative
counsel will prevail. Rev. Mr.. Corey, in his
sermon to-day, said he hoped since they had
changed officers they would have leaders
that would take them across the line at once.
This sentiment was applauded by large
delegation of ladies who were in attendance
from the surrounding towns and country.
At night religious services were renewed,
conducted by Rev. Mr.. Broadhurst, of South
Haven. After these services colony meet
ing was held to determine the course for to-
morrow. Speeches were made by members
of the colony to 60 into the Territory at
once, and 1t was only after the speech of
DIR. Wilson, of Texas, the cool head of the
outfit, that the settlers agreed TO wait one
more day, hoping for Congressional action.
The Rev. DIR. Corey said he had just travel
ed through sixteen counties in western Kan
sas and there was actual suffering. The
leaders say they have aroused the hungry
people and cannot control them.
CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-The following has
been received at headquarters here
FIT. LEAvENwoRTH, Kas., Dec. II.
The raiders are still encamped north of
the Indian Territory line, and the troops are
almost abreast of them. Payne himself has
been deposed. Major Randall, with two
companies of cavalry, will join Mason to-day
near Hunnewell, where the raiders are en-
camped. One cavalry company occupies
Oklahama and is scouting that section to
pick up any small parties coming from the
direction of Texas and Arkansas. There Is
no occasion for any apprehension.

caiiior mia Electoral Vote.

NEW YORK, December 10.--The Times
says: The strict constructionists of the
Democratic faith will be APPALLED, to learn
that the Republican Secretary of State in
California, discovering that the returns for
Presidential electors were fatally. defective,
telegraphed to the local officers and advised
them to send amended returns. Clearly this
was not his official duty, and he should have
proceeded with the canvass, which he Is re-
quired by law to make, and have left the IA
tai defects to be discovered by others, but
this officials action, irregular though It was,
saved the vote ofthree counties and changed
the result in the State. The Democratic
constructionists, like Garcelon, for example,
will denounce the course Of the California
Republican Secretary of State as extra Con-
stitutional. IL may assuage their wrath,
however, to learn that the three counties
whose votes so narrowly escaped being null
lifted as Democratic, and that In consequence
Of their votes being amended Hancock Sc
cured five electoral votes.

THE CAPTAIN GENERAL PROJECT.
cou..i.u,ionai objection. Considered :.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Senate-Here-
ford, Carpenter, Thurman and others en-
gagged In . dabate on the Constitutional
points connected with the appointment Of
Grant as Captain General. Carpenter said
he had heard startling statement to-day
and would ask Senator Mcdonald whether
he thought Congress could discharge Gen'l
Sherman tomorrow. Mcdonald said he did
and every other person in the army except
the President, Its commander-in-chief. Car
penter remarked the Senator was then driv-
en- to the ground that Gen'l Sherman was not
one of the officers Of the United States, which
by the Constitution the President was author
lied to appoint. Mcdonald claimed he was
driven to no such ground. His ground was
that the army was provided for In another
part of the Constitution which gave the
whole subject to Congress. Carpenter said
the authority was there given Congress to es-
tablish the army just as authority was given
1t to constitute courts; but no authority was
given to appoint officers of the army or the
Judges of courts. There was also authority
to make regulations for the government of
the army; but no authority to govern the
army, just as there was authority to establish
methods of judicial procedure, but none to
dictate the judicial acts of the courts or to
say who should be judges except by confir-
nation of nominations. These distinctions
were necessary to the proper separation of
the Legislative, Executive and Judicial func-
tions of the government. Carpenter reitera-
ted his argument that sentence passed by a
Constitutional Court of final resort, includ-
ing courts martial, was not reversible by any
person or body. The President can pardon,
but the Senate cannot interfere in that Exec
utive privilege as in this bill 1t is proposed to
do. Such actions would be usurpation of
power. Voorhees, denied that sentence Of
court martial was final Judgment.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-SEsATE.- On
motion of Cbckrell the Senate took up the
Senate bill for the relief of Samuel A.
Lowe, appropriating $4,75o to pay him for
services and expenses as clerk of the Ter
ritorial Legislature of Kansas in 1866.
Ingalls, said this was an attempt to have
nav granted for the compensation of what
are known as ''the Bogus Statutes of Kan
sas,, or athe Slave Code" which was re-
pealed and publicly burned by the Free Soil
ers as soon as they obtained control of the
State. The statutes were the blacklist, most
damnable body Of laws ever attempted to be
passed. They never were recognized as the
law of Kansas. Ingalls, in replying to Vest
said he did not propose at this period of the
Nations history 10 enter upon the vindica-
cuted as traitor on the I'd of December,
1860, but the Nation took up the flag that he
laid down at Harpers Ferry and bore 1t in
triumph through four years. war to Apo
matox Court House. John Brown was about
four years ahead Of his time. TWAS the Ma

He had simply stated that the laws of Mis-
souri, formed the basis Of the code in ques-
ton, being changed or supplemented in such
respects as TO fit them for the peculiar state
of society desired to be established in Kan
sas. He continued to argue against the val
idity of loves claim. IL had slept to await
its opportunity. Cockrell held that Lowe
had earned his pay. Vest referred to the re-
mark of Ingalls, that the code was based on
the code of Missouri. No such statutes ever
existed I'm Missouri. He did not propose to
revive the questions of that terrible period.
Slavery was dead and he had no wish to
bring It to life.' But he could not refrain,
since the subject had been brought up, from
saying that violence begot violence and Out
rage provoked outrage. The people sent out
by Plymouth Church and other pillars of
religion and morality, headed by that old
scoundrel, John Brown, who afterward just
ly expiated his crimes upon the scaffold at
Harper's Ferry, were responsible for much
of the violence of that unfortunate time.
He did not propose quietly to hear the peo-
pie of Missouri charged with projecting the
slavery statutes into Kansas. Lowe was an
irresponsible servant and should be paid for
his clerical work. Edmunds said he began
to get interested in this bill since John
Browns name had been brought up, cal
thought he added, "nothiug that can be

Foster was one of his heartiest supporters at

lieved that Foster was not heartily support
ing him, but he had been convinced this was
false. Foster had paid some hotel bills in
Chicago voluntarily, although he controlled
money provided by him, (Sherman), for the
purpose. Any contest for Senatorship be-
tween them would be conducted in proper
spirit, and no political or personal contro-
versy would arise.
