UNDER the new apportionment the aggre-
gate electoral vote In 1884 will be 4Ol, or.
with Dakota, 404. OF these the South will
have 1853. The 80 votes of New York and
the Is votes of Indiana would increase this
to 204, and give the South the Presidency.
Omitting Indiana, New Jersey with o votes,
Nevada with 0, and Oregon with 8 would
give the Democrats majority. New York
and Indiana will be the battle-ground in 1884
as they were In 1880, the Republicans having
fighting chance In Virginia and Tennessee.

IT SEEMS awful that the life Of the Queen
should have been attempted the other day,
but a. this Is the seventh attempt that has
been made, she should be getting used to 1t.
In 1910 q boy named oxfsrd, aged seventeen,
fired two sbets at her. He was tried and
sent to an insane asylum. In 1912 q man
named John Frances, aged foty-two, fired
pistol at her and missed. lie was tried for
high treason and sentenced to death, but the
sentence was subsequently, committed to i'm
prisonment for life. Shortly after, hunch-
back boy named Bean fired ut her with .
pistol, the missile being scraps Of clay pipe
jammed down. He was sent to the pcniten-
tiary for eighteen years. In 1S40 . brick
layer fired pistol loaded only with powder
at her and was transported for seven years.
In 1850 Robert Pate, once q Lieutenant Of
Hussars, struck the Queen In the face with
stick and got seven years transportation.
Again in 1872 boy Of seventeen presented
pistol at the Queen - she was driving, but Il
proved to be unloaded, TO have . broken flint
lock, and the barrel filled with . red rag. He
got twelve months In prison and whipping.

CoNKLING CONFIRMED AND DECLINES
Why He Was Not Consulted Before Nom
mated.

New YORK March 3.-The Times Wash
ington special says: Men who ought to know
say that the nomination was unexpected by
Conkling, and that its effect upon him was
not altogether pleasant. They assert he will
not accept the Office. One of his friends
said that Conkling had recently taken re-
tanners amounting to about $4,000, and en-
gagged to do work which would bring him
linquish these cases and return the retainers
taken for the purpose Of taking subordinate
place on the Supreme Bench after he had
refused to take the Office of Chief Justice.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-The Senate con-
firmed Roscoe Conkling as Associate Justice
of the Supreme Court; Aaron A. Sargent as
Minister to Germany; William F. Posten as
United States Attorney of the Western Dis
trict Of Tennessee. The vote on Conkline's
nomination is understood to have been 80
ayes, against II noes-eight Democrats and
four Republicans, namely, Hoar, Dawes,
Morrill, and Hawley. Sargent's nomination
was confirmed without division.
An intimate friend of both the President
and Conkling says he thinks the reason why
the nomination was made without previous
consultation with Conkling was because the
latter had written letter recommending in
the strongest terms Clarence Seward for the
place. To ask him, under the circumstances,
would have been to suggest that he become
competitor of his own candidate and friend.
WASHINGTON, March "a friend of ex-
Senator Plat says that Plat told him yes
terday in New York that Conkling would
not accept the Supreme Court Judgeship;
that Conkling had said to Plat that he could
not afford to hold that position, as he had
$4,000 worth Of law practice he would have
to relinquish If he went on the Bench. Be-
sides, Conkling added, according to this au-
thority, that he preferred to remain in active
politics.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-It is generally
believed at the Capitol that Conkling wrote
the President this morning declining his ap-
pointment. The general talk is that Conk-
ling's declination will be made public to. day
and Secretary Folger will be nominated to
the Supreme Bench and Conkling made
Secretary of the Treasury.
The President has received from ex-Sena-
tory Conkling his declination of the As
sociate Justiceship.

How a Pro-Chinese Paper Lets Down.
NEW YORK, March THE Times says
Brown, of Georgia, spoke with more moder-
alton and calmness than any of those who
participated in the debate, and Teller, OF
Colorado, after exhibiting his Impotence to
have at him, literally "went for that Heath
en- Chinee" with all the reckless fervor of his
own untrammelled free west. Teller pro-
ceeded to say that he does not care button
for sentiment, and he rather glories in his
readiness to take a scalp when occasion re-
auires. Several other Senators are prepared
with speeches on this subject, but consider
ing that the whole question has once been
settled by Congress and that we have since
concluded a treaty with China for the pur-
pose of removing the only fatal defect in the
legislation of 1879, the debate begins to wear
the appearance of being maintained only for
oratorical purposes. The value of China
men to the Pacific Coast as material addi-
ton to the wealth and prosperity of the com
munity has been great. III Chinese labor
should be withdrawn from the Pacific Coast
there would be a paralysis of industry and
cessation Of important works, involving ir-
retrievable disaster. Furthermore, the evil
dence shows that the average Chinese labor
er IS industrious, patient, docile, thrifty,
easily managed, and with high degree of a
certain kind of intelligence. II we look at
the laborer from mere machine point o:
view, the Chinaman has no superior. But
the men who lead this agitation are not dem
agogues of the Kearney school. They are
conservative, humane men, representing the
best interests and best ideas of their commu'
nifty. Miller is type of this class-the last
man to wrong the lowliest of any race. He
suffered cruel wounds to free the African,
and would be the last to injure the Asiatic.

IMPORTANT, If TRUE.
Reported Capture of Jesse James.

KANSAS CITY, March S.-A passenger
who arrived on the Wabash train this morn
ing said while he was waiting for the train at
Moberly sheriff's officer entered the depot
there, having just arrived from the west,
looking very pale, worn, and despatched,
and told an exciting story, which, If true,
will cause much rejoicing among railroad Of
fcials. He said Jesse James was captured
last evening at some place in Kansas, after
determined and bloody fight, in which he
killed seven pursuing officers and wounded
three others. Jesse himself is said to have
been shot full of holes and 1t is impossible
for him to live. The outlaw was surrounded
at log cabin in the midst of heavy timber,
where he and companion, supposed to be
Ed. Miller, were hiding. They were asleep
when the officers arrived, but the door OF the
hut was securely barricaded. They made a
desperate resistance, and killed the seven Of
fcers while the attempt was being made to
batter down the door from the outside.
Jesse's companion was shot dead. The Of
ficer who told the story claimed to have been
with the party and just reached Moberly by
train. The story is generally discredhed.
