WASHINGTON NOTES.

Washington, April 2.-The resigna-
tion of Andrew D. White, envoy extra
ordinary and minister plenipotentiary
to Berlin, has been In the hands of the
president for some time, coupled with a
request that his successor be nominated
at an early day.
Senator Miller has leased a handsome
furnished residence on Connecticut
avenue, in this city, and Senator Fair
is in treaty for the purchase of large
and costly dwelling house in the same
general neighborhood.
Ex-Marshal Pitkin, of Louisiana,
thinks his chances are good for appoint
ment as minister to Mexico. In addi-
tion to strong political backing, "My
dear Pitkin" is said to be endorsed by
all the principal business firms of New
Orleans and large portion of the other
commercial interests of the Mississippi
valley.
Vice President Arthur went to New
ork last night, Wnlcn mas given rise
to the rumor that he will try and in
duce Judge Robertson to ask the presi-
dent to withdraw his name from the
senate in the interests of peace and par
ty harmony. 1t is quite unlikely, how
ever, that he would undertake any such
mission, or that if attempted the effort
would prove successful.
A caucus of the republican senators
has been called for Monday morning.
1t is rumored that the president advises
the postponement CT the senate offices
until after the executive nominations
have been disposed of. A proposition
to adopt this course of action will be
brought before the caucus for discus
sion, together with several other topics
suggested by the past and present
phases of the dead lock.

Cleveland: The snow storm which
has continued 81 hours, has ceased and
a thaw has set in.
Newport, Tex: Heavy frost in the
northern part of the state. Fruit crop
considerable injured.
New York: A slight fire in the Union
Square theater last evening caused the
audience to stampede, but no one was
hurt; damage trifling.
Iowa City, Iowa: Hattie Denel has
begun the fortieth day of her fast. She is
more comfortable this morning and
sleeps more. She drinks an ounce each
hour.
Boston: The retirement of Justice
Soule will be imposed by Gov. Long. to
tender to ex-Attorney General Devens
his old place on the supreme court
bench.
Des Moines, Iowa: The Iowa farmers,
in convention to-day, adopted long
and strong resolution against the barbed
wire fence monopoly, showing their in
tention to fight it.
New York: AT meeting Of the di.
rectors of the Western Union telegraph
company to-day, Cornelius Vanderbilt
resigned as director, and Gen. Eckert
was made a member of the executive
committee in place of S. F. Barger, re-
signed.
New Orleans: There was heavy frost
and ice throughout this entire section
last night. Early vegetables in tn
northern part of Louisiana, Mississippi
and Alabama are considerably dam
aged. 1t is feared that the peach crop
is entirely cut off.
st. Louis: The terribly mangled and
lifeless body of a man was found in the
tunnel this morning. 1t evidently had
been run over by two or three trains, as
the remains were scattered along the
track for some distance. From papers
found on the body, the mans name is
supposed 10 be Eugene p. Ellis, a car
penter, whose family reside at Emporia,
Kansas.
Chicago: Alcock & King, of the
board of trade, have received from their
correspondents in Liverpool copy of a
manifesto which is being placarded in
every township throughout Great Brit
ain, which sets forth great dangers as
arising from the use of the hog pro-
duct, and giving directions for cooking
1t when used. The natural effect, the
correspondent says, will be to induce
consumers to change their diet and
diminish the demand ON this country.

Gladstone was at deaths door last au
tumn. However one may differ in
politics with Beaconsiield, his life is
unique and he enjoys great popularity
personally. On learning from an
nouncement in the Times that he was
preparing his last speech in the house
of lords for publication, when he was
taken sick, much sympathy was
evoked, and there was tinge of disap.
pointment, but knowing his main char
acter, some people asked themselves
whether he was not befooliug them
The medical papers, however, show be-
yond question the serious character Of
his illness. To-day's Bulletin indicates
that he may recover if the east winds
depart, but he is still very weak. Glad
stone was among the most anxious in
quirers at his residence.
His lordship has strong objection
amounting almost to superstition, te
keeping his bed, and is now propped W
on pillows in the drawing room. He
is quite aware that it is toss W
whether he lives or dies, but to out
ward appearances he is the most un
concerned man in the chamber.
Beaconsfield is particularly anxious tc
see his old private secretary, Lord
Rawton, for the purpose of giving him
instructions regarding his memoirs and
private papers. These are of incalcula
BILE value from historical point OF
view.

New York, April 2.-In the suit of
Sidney DeKay against Rossiter W..
Raymond for $21 900, the latter testified
that after he arrived in Colorado he re-
ceived commission to examining the
Chrysolite mine. He walked about 4 600
feet In the mine, and based his esti-
mates upon what he noted. He wrote
his report on the night of the day he
made the examination, and received
$1,000 for it. He estimated that the
company owned about $3.50, 900 tons of
silver ore worth, ut the smelter's prices,
about 81, 900, 900, and he felt justified
in congratulating the company upon
the possession Of o bonanza,

Body Found-Arrest of Newspaper
Men.

Denver, April 2.-The Nelcs furnishes
the information that the skeleton of
Joseph McLane, who was killed by the
Utes in July, 1878, was found on the
prairie 80 miles from Wallace, a few
days ago. There was bullet hole
through the skull. The remains were

Gen. Wilson, president of the Republi-
can publishing company, Geo. T. Clark,
manager, and City Editor Ziegenfus, of

the charge of libel and held in SC, 900
bail to answer at the next term of the
criminal court. The suit is brought by
an ex-policeman who was compelled to
resign in consequence of the Republi-
CAMS attacks. The latter have arranged
to subpoena some 800 witnesses, includ-
ing gamblers, saloon men, prostitutes,
and the criminal classes generally, and
important exposures ara threatened.

London, April "A public meeting,
convened by the Freiheit defense COM
mittee, was held at the socialist club
room last night, to protest against
the seizure of the Freiheit and the ar
rest of Herr Most. An Englishman
presided, and an English edition of the
Freiheit was distributed in the room,
containing an appeal to the socialists
of all nationalities. A resolution was
adopted declaring the arrest of Herr
Most and the seizure of the Freiheit as
arbitrary, unjust, and an act worthy Of
Russian and German despotism. The
Freiheit will be published as usual dur.
ing Most's Imprisonment.

ponderous affair is the one which was
on exhibition at the Philadelphia CEN
tennial, and is the largest in the world.
1t weighs $50 tons and was brought
here from Philadelphia in 35 cars. 1t

it as he had done in '76. but he being
unable to attend, Miss Fannie Pull
man, eldest daughter of Geo. NJ. Pull
man, raised the lever which set the
large machine in motion, and it began
its work as noislessly as though it was
only an ordinary sized engine. 1t is to
be kept constantly in motion and will
furnish power for the entire works.

Cheuneey FiiIey on the situation in
Washington.

st. Louis. April 2.-Ohauncey l. Fill
ley, who just returned from Washing
ton, where he has been for some time
past in intimate relations with the
president and high officials, makes the
following statement regarding the re-
ported differences between the cabinet
officers and senators and the president: !:
The newspaper reports upon all these
matters are exaggerated and colored
to make them accord with the sources
from which they emanate and suit the
parties in whose interests they are pro-
mulgated. There is no doubt but thst
Attorney General McVeagh has taken
decided stand against Chandler for
solicitor general. This action of Nc
Veagh's is antagonistic to Secretary
Blaine, and makes the contest a per-
sonal one as between McVeagh, Blaine
and the president. This is particu-
larly the case, as it is reported that Nc
Veagh is endeavoring to defeat Chand-
ler's confirmation, which makes di-
rect personal issue between the attorney
general and the president. This con-
nected with McVeagh's public declar-
ations against Gen. Raum-declara-
tions made in the presence of several
gentlemen in his (McVeagh's) office
indicates variance of opinion between
him and the general policy of the
administration, which, as Senator Ben.
Harrison said, il allowed to prevail,
would make both Indiana and Nc
Veagh's own state (Pennsylvania) DEM
ocratic.
The difference existing between the
New York senators and the president
is not one about Individuals really, but
about the observance of the usual
courtesies towards senators and con-
gressmen as regards appointments in
their respective states. In this matter
all republican senators and congress-
men are interested. 1t was one Of the
matters which raised a difference be-
tween Gen. Garfield and President
Hayes. Gen. Garfield was not consult.
ed about the many appointments in his
own district, and in fact many were
made over his head. This Gen. Gar
field did not relish or approve, and that
he should not was very natural under
the circumstances. This is the posi-
tion of Senators -Conkling and Platt.
They would have been satisfied to let
Merritt remain as collector of New
York. Whatever fight is made will be
upon this issue, and the result cannot,
OF course. now be seen.
The Blaine-C Chandler -McVeagh con-
test is different affair, and the stall
warts generally, agree with Blaine and
Chandler.

but are still continuing.

WOMAN suFFnAGE1N WYOMING

The LEADER is in receipt of a letter
from Mrs. G. B. Colby, of Beatrice,
Nebraska, vice president of the Ne
braska woman suffrage association,
asking for information touching upon
woman suffrage in Wyoming. But
here is the letter, and it explains itself
clearly:
BEATHICE, Neb., March %, 'S1.
Editor Leader:
DEAR SIR.-I have before me an ex-
tract from the LEADER of Nov. %,
1878, endorsing in strongest terms wo-
man suffrage as practiced in the ter
ritory of Wyoming. Asyou are aware,
an amendment to our constitution is
now before the people Of Nebraska, and
we are organizing for state work. Con-
sidering the contiguity of this state,
people here are wofully ignorant of
the result Of woman suffrage in Wyo-
ming; many even think it was disas-
trous and is now practically abandoned.
All the testimony 1 have is in favor of
it, but l have little of recent date
| Would you render me the assistance in
my work Of telling me the position the
LEADER now takes with regard to it ?
the general impression concerning it
in Wyomipg2 and your candid opin-
ion as to its effect on the women them
selves and on the domestic and social
relationsP
An answer to these questions will
much oblige me, and perhaps prevent
my making mistakes. The most COM
mon arguments that are brought
against us are, that women do not want
to vote, and that none but the vicious
will vote. What answer does Wyo-
ming give to thesep
Very respectfully,
MRS. c. B. Colby.
The LEADER maintains the same po-
sition to-day which it did when the
bill giving to woman the right of suf-
frage was presented in the legislature.
After eleven years. trial, the LEADER
can see no reason why that act should
be repealed, but has every reason for
upholding the same. This paper has
been the consistent champion of woman

Late advices from Fort Smith indicate that
the affairs in the Choctaw and Chicasaw ma
lions have reached a crisis. The united

as intruders, and though many of these par

OBITUARY.

1t becomes our painful duty to record the
death Of Mr.. George B. Johnston, which took
place in this city early yesterday morning.
The subject of this sketch was born in Cana
da in the year 1910 and was therefore at the
time of his death Al years of age. With the
exception of his two brothers who are living
about sixty miles below Missoula, all of his
relations reside in Canada. The deceased
came to Montana at an early day where he
has since, with the exception of a few years,
followed the occupation OF mining. About
four years ago he purchased All interest in
the MINER and ass umed editorial charge
of the paper. As a writr he
was clear. forcibIe and logical,
and through the exercise of those qualities
combined with superior judgment, he soon
brought the MINER to the front rank of
journalism. As a friend he was steadfast and
true. and the warm grasp OF his hand but
disclosed the warmer feelings of his heart.
AS a man he was courageous, noble, generous
and frank, and being actusted by the high
est and purest Of motives, he had nothing
to conceal from friend or foe. A student by
nature, his leisure hours were devoted to the
mastering of the dead and The modern lam
guages, while the abstruse sciences command
ed his deep and earnest attention. None
knew him but to love him and his
closest friends were those who knew him
best. In his death the world loses one of
Natures noblemen; the Territory a promi-
nent citizen; society an honorable gentleman
and his friends a loved companion. Peace to
his ashes.
