through their commissioners, are

The Mendelssohn club of Minneapolis,

ask him to 60 to Teller with Burrows and
join the request. Ferry excused himself
on various pretexts, though asserting that
Thornton ought to be removed. Ferry, how
ever, said to Burrows that be would call

would call on the secretary the day before.
Ferry said he would second Burrows re-
quest for removal. Burrows therefore
called on Friday, and called again to-day,
Ferry meanwhile having seen the secretary
on Saturday. To Burrows intense aston
ishment, secretary Teller said to-day that
Thornton ought to be dismissed for leaving
the department to do political work; ''but,"

Ferry called on Saturday and
protested against it. Ferry's double deal
ing stood revealed, but to make sure of it
and to fasten Ferry. before the Michigan
delegation as trickster and ENTHUSIASTICALLY
man, Burrows informed Ferry to-day that
he had seen the secretary. The senator
thereupon said that he, too, had seen him,
and urged Thornton's removal. Burrows
did not reveal to Ferry what the secretary
had said, but the result of this exposure
of double dealing is an agreement among
the Michigan delegation to do all in their
power to defeat the senator's reelection.

His Letter to the President Demanding an
Investigation of the Charges Preferred
Against Him.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.--The unpublished
correspondence sent to the senate relating
to the case of ex-Marshal Henry has been
made public. Marshal Henry, in the
course of lengthy letter to the president,
says: With deep sense of the injustice
done me by the letters of George Bliss
and the attorney general recommending
my removal, respectfully and earnestly
ask that you direct further inquiry to de-
termine the truth Of the complaints made
against me. am confident that
even hasty investigation by any fair meth
cd will convince you I am accused wrong
fully, and that the most searching in
quiry will show am the victim of great
wrong, and that the attorney general has
been misinformed. The complaints,
though general in character, all do me the
greatest injustice, and one, that I was re-
sponsible for much of the opposing SEN
timent to the case of the government, gave
me deepest pain. AS to the complaint
that was reported to have
said something in newspaper,
desire to state first. what I
have not said, 1 had not said 1 was re-
moved because I was appointed by the
late president. No one but coward would
get behind tombstone for defense. ask
no clemency, charity nor favor, but that
simple justice be done in my case. The
hoc inf od
posed upon by designing men, and the
weight of his great department used to
crush me. All I ask is speedy method
of inquiry, that fair minded men will APP
approve. 1 have never said that
"the government had no case.''
invite the closest investigation
into all complaints. If granted, it will
show that have been prosecuted beyond
measure, and that have suffered in silence
the most wicked columnies. 1t needs only
few hours inquiry by any unprejudiced
man or men to learn the truth or error of
the information received by the attorney
general and expressed in his letter to you.
I have been ready to resign at any time
when it was your pleasure to ask me. 1
make no fight for Office, as has been stated,
but only for fair method of inquiry.
You, Mr.. PRESIDENT. nave also peen accused
in some of the newspapers with being
faint hearted, in the prosecution of the
star route cases. I know it to be untrue.
There is evidence to believe that the false
statements come from the same men who
were maligning me. While not complain
ing of your action in my case, do invite
the closest investigation into my official
conduct. Very respectfully.
Signed c. E. HENRY.
This letter was referred to the attorney
general, who in reply reiterates the charges
before made against Henry, and says he
merited the punishment received. District
Attorney Corkhill follows with letter
similar in tone, in which he seeks to fasten
upon Marshal Henry the responsibility for
the escape of Capt. Howgate and other
prisoners.

cable.
GREAT BRITAIN,

LONDON, Dec. 23.-Davitt in speech at
Bermondzy, said emigration was no cure
for discomfort in Ireland. A system of
public works enterprises, he said, would be
far more creditable to English statesmen
than forcing thousands into warehouses
and then forcing them to quit the country;
but If during the winter and spring $4,000
families left Ireland they would go to
swell the ranks of the New Ireland which
was growing beyond the Atlantic, where
they would be trained in republican ideas.
From his knowledge of the New Ireland in
America he could tell Lord Derby that
English statesmen before long would have
to take into account that Irish element in
the settlement of the Irish question.
LONDON, Dec. 23.-The scuRing match be-
between Bubear and Goodwin from Putney
to Mort lake was won easily by Bubear,

burgh visited Haslar naval hospital, Ports
mouth, to-day and conferred decorations

SLIGO, Dec. 23.-McDermott. the we'll
known nationalist and ex-suspect, has been
remanded for week on charge of using
sedltious language at meeting of the
National league. The prisoner during the
speech said the gallows were reeking with
the blood of innocent people condemned
by drunken juries and partisan judges.
LONDON, Dec. 23.-The Times Paris dis
patch says: England intends sending
note to the powers explaining what she
proposes doing for the reorganization of
Egypt. England decided to send the note
because twas evident Du Clerc, president
OF the French council, influenced by con-
slderations connected with the maintenance
OF his position, would not otherwise either
come to an agreement with England or
break OFF negotiations. The correspon-
dent adds, amajority of the powers would
be willing to assent to British protecto-
rate over Egypt.
Mr.. Davitt, II his speech at Bermondsy,
said he had made the recent speech at
Navan because it was necessary to remind
the government it must save the people
from famine. He did not preach violence
Or crime. He relied solely on the moral
dynamite of ideas, in which there was suf-
hcient strength to crush landlerdism.

The GO0sbfila<y Cases.

In the municipal court yesterday after
noon the question of destroying the furni-
ture and property taken from the three
gambling houses by the police was brought
up before Judge Cooley for argument. and
resulted in giving the Tribuae a very
black eye. Mr.. Bartleson appeared
for the Tribune and J. G.. Wooley
and Judge Rea for the defense. The
prosecution talked, but failed to give any
very good authority and was corrected in
a mistake by the court. Mr.. Wooley made
quite lengthy argument He stated there
was no law in the statute book which pro-
vided for the absolute destruction of the
property in question. An indefinite allu-
sion is made to the destruction of gam
bling devices in the statute. providing for
search warrants, but it fails to give the
court definite instructions, SO that he can
determine the nature of the property by
holding an inquest. Judge Rea followed,
citing authorities, at the conclusion of
which Mr.. Bartleson concluded his
argument for the destruction of the furni-
ture. The court then gave his opinion in
the matter, but withheld his final decision
until Tuesday. He stated that he was IN
able to find any law which would authorize
him to destroy the property. There is no
such law within the statutes.

THE STREET CAR CONTROVERSY,

Il Lirely R"mp~s Last Night Between
Passengers and a Car DIirer.
At 1870 last evening the last Fourth
avenue street Car started from the Nicollet
house. Arriving at First avenue south, the
car became literally packed with passen-
gers, and few rods further on the rear
platform was also crowded. The drivers
have specific orders from Superintendent
Atwood not to move car while passen-
gers were upon the platform. Conse-
quently the car was stopped, the people
ordered off, but the driver was quietly in
formed by the gentlemen perched upon
the platform, some of whom were obliged
to. hang on like squirrels to a
tree, that they had paid their
fares, and proposed to ride to their
respective destination. But the driver was
resolute. He banded and talked for over
an hour, absolutely refusing to bulge an
inch until the platform was cleared. In
the meantime large crowd of people
anxious to see the peculiar order of the
Street hallway company thoroughly tested,
had gathered upon the street. The avenue

was called upon to induce the driver to
move on" but not knowing what his
authority was in the premises, felt some
what chary of interference. Finally the
mayor was applied to. He came at once to
the scene, and asked the driver why he
obstructed 1.-THE street. The driver ex-
planned his orders, but was told by the
mayor that the cars could not be allowed
to stand there, and also that there was no
authority by which passenger could be
taken from car after having paid his
fare. In moment more the car started,
as did also two others which had mean
while come up in the rear, each crowded
as cars were seldom crowded before, amid
the shouts of the people. The mayor then
instructed Sergeant Daily to see to it tnat
no street cars were permitted to obstruct
the streets in the future.
The GLOBE reporter interviewed the
mayor, who stated that it is the duty of the
Street Railwaycompany to carry every pas
senger who had paid fare, but if horse
was overloaded the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals would prosecute
them. The only way in which the COM
pany can remedy the evil is by putting
on more cars, and by using two horses in
stead of one. And the end is not yet.

The Senator Falls Into It---The Spectacle to
be Used to Defeat HIS Reelection.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-Jay Hubbell has
set a trap for Senator Ferry, and caught
him in it. The senator has been exposed
to the Michigan delegation as a trickster
and double dealer. It looks now as though
the delegation would unite to compass his
defeat. Though Hubben cannot be elected
himself dark horse will be chosen. It
appears that some months before the No.
vember election Ferry procured the ap-
pointment of man named Thornton as an
examiner in the pension Office. Ferry then
procured leave of absence for Thornton
and sent him to Kalamazoo, where he start
ed paper ostensibly to aid Ferry's can
vass. His pay as examiner ran on all the
time. About two weeks before the election
Thornton stabbed Burrows, who was run
ming for congress in that district, by haul
ing his name down, though continuing to
support Ferry. This was done
at Ferry's command. Ferry was
jealous of Burrows because julius
Caesar had senatorial ambitions, and Ferry
therefore determined to defeat his re-elec-
ton. Thornton's treachery to Burrows was
traced by Hubbell directly to Ferry, and
Burrows was requested by the Michigan
