YANDEROOF,

The Attempt to Secure Bail Abandoned
He Will Remain in Jail-A Visit to His
Family.
The Vanderhoof case proper presented no
particularly new features yesterday. He is
still in the county jail, and it is understood
all hope Of ,giving bail has been abandoned
and he will remain in Jail. The difficulty in
the matter is that there are so many different
counts standing against him each altera-
ton or false entry being an offense, that it
is deemed unadvisab]e to attempt to give bail
as he would undoubtedly be rearrested On
another charge, and soon till nobody's pur sc
would be long enough to cover all the cases.
The unpleasant conclusion has been very re-
luctantly reached that there is really no escape
from the fact that he must remain in Jail Till
his trial In June. 1t is understood that friends
but for the fact that he would
have been rearrested on other similar
charges and put right back. That being the
case, he regarded It as useless to attempt the
release

Nelson for the privilege Of visiting his family.

IMPEACHMENT COURT.
Childs Play by the Honorable Senators
Composing the Court.

C0mp0o10g the COuft.
The impeachment court failed to ma
terialize yesterday morning. At 10 a. M,
the hour to which the no-quorum court of
Saturday adjourned nnder the rules, only
three senators were present A half hour
later the number had increased to eight,
and there being no prospect Of
securing quorum, the little
band did, the only thing they could
do, adjourned, which postponed ses-
SION until 10 O'Clock this morning
The experience of Saturday and yester-
day ought, it would seem, teach the hon.
orable senators lesson. Upon q canvass
Friday it was learned that it would be
convenient for but twenty senators to be
present Saturday forenoon, and that
sixteen could be mustered for afternoon
session. Upon this showing, motion
was made that when the court adjourn
Friday, 1t be to Monday yesterday at
2:30 p. m. This was opposed by two or
three senator's who calculated to remain
in st. Paul over Sunday in any event, or
who could remain just as well as not, and
under species of bulldozing by f1aunt-
ing the scarce crow of public opinion, a
sort of half promise was secured
from some twenty. four senators, three
more than quorum, to be present Satur-
day. A quorum Saturday meant also a
quorum yesterday, and the motion to ad-
journ over was lost.
The result has been and is recorded in
the GLOBE. There was no quorum either
Saturday or yesterday, and number of
senators living in distant parts of the
state who remained, thinking there would
be quorum, were prevented from pay
ing anxiously desired visits to their
homes.
The GLOBE would suggest that here
after, when the indications are so pro-
nounced for an adjournment as on Friday
last, the Senators stand up and vote it
like little men, instead of promising to
stay, and then breaking quorum by
sneaking off home. The latter proceed
ing is far from dignided, to say the least.

ings.

R. Marshall, Judge J. M. Berry, Charles Bor
narth, Shakopee, and Rev. D. B. kuicker-

A PROPOSED CELEBRATION.
A communication was received from the
Chicago Historical Society, asking this soci.
ETY. to unite with 1t and other similar
bodies in celebrating the 2O0th anniversary of
the discovery of the mouth of the Mississippi
river by La Sale. It is to take place at New
Orleans on April 9. Laid over for further

President-Gen. II. H. Sibley.
First Vice President-Hon. Alex. Ramsey.
Second Vice President-Capt. r. Blakeley.
Secretary and Librarlan-J. F. Williams.
Treasurer-H. P. Upham.
The following gentlemen were elected life
members: Rev. David r. Breed, and Judge
Wescott Wilkin.
"REMINISCENCES.
Gen. G. H. Berry, OF Winona, made some in
teresting remarks about the society and its
important work, in collecting the materials
for our early history.
This led Captain Blakely to relate some very
entertaining and amusing incidents
about the colony at Rollingstone, in
Winona county. He had brought up
Some OF the unfortunate settlers Of
that colony on his boat, in 1851. He hoped
that Mr.. Ely, of Winona, would furnish us
with full account of the venture.
WAR HISTORY CALLED FOR.
Senator H. B. Wilson remarked on the great
want of good military history of Minnesots,
full and reliable. He said that as no one else
was likely to do it, this society might find
some wayof accomplishing it. 1t was refer
red to committee to see if some way could
be devised.
Capt. Blakeley said he had been unable to
get any "reminiscences from Mr.. B. W. Brisbois,
Of Prairie du Ohien, as be was too feeble to
finish his recollections. This is much to be
regretted.
The society then adjourned.

REcoAIsnTTED.
The nomination of Maj. Rochester to be pay
master general of the army was, after a brlef
discussion, recommitted to the committee on
military affairs for examination of certain
charges, to the effect that he was guilty OF
gross neglect of duty In allowing Maj. Hodges,
the defaulting Washington paymaster, mum.
Der of years ago, to turn over to him an I'M
verified account of money, then nominally In
Hodges possession, instead of requiring the
money to be counted and delivered.
The nomination of Col. Rucker as quarter
master general, although confirmed without
extended debate. gave rise to consider
able criticism, on the ground that 1t provided
for placing an officer 20 years old In position
which has just been made vacant by reason OF
Gen. Meigs having attained the age OF IS.
It was generally conceded, however, that Col
Rucker' long and faithful service both In the
line aud staff of the army, and the fact that he
stood next to Gen. Melgs in order OF pro-
with view to his having hereafter retired on
the rank of brigadier general.
