1he COChet Claim.

| Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat.
Washington, April 25.-Among the recent
arrivals in this city is Col. c. Chester a praC-
teal electrician and engineer of New York,
who was connected with the Peru Wan govern
ment during the Christiancy regime, in the
management of the torpedo service. During
his stay in that country he was thrown into
prison by the Chilians, and now has claim
on file in the state department for $4,000
damages which he said he did not care to re-
vlve just at this time, owing to the state of at
fairs that existed. He thinks this country
now stands in bad order with Chill, judging
from a recent letter he has had from Peru.
The people there, he thinks. look upon the
Americans as considering them in most in
dependent light. AS to the Shipherd affair,
he says there is no evidence that Cochet ever
went to France. and that if the claim was ever
transferred to the United States, by the terms
of the contract it would be null and void that
there is no evidence that Shipherd ever got a
transfer from the Cochet illegitimate son. He
thinks the case quite unworthy the prominence
that has been given it, and said that while he
was no admirer of Mr.. Blaine he thought it
a shame that an unknown adventurer should
be allowed to throw mud over person of Mr..
B..ane's standing. He said the affair was
making us ridiculous all over the world that
England and other countries would think that
Mr.. Blaine was on trial for dishonesty in
offIrs

EMERSON.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, the greatest Of liv-
ing American philosophers, is lying on his
deathbed it is thought. He lacks but year
and month of being So years Of age, and
his mental power has been failing for some
time past In Jnly last he said TO friend:
am glad to see you yet fear | can do
little. can only disappoint those who come
to Sc me. find that am losing myself, and
wander away from the matter have in mind.
l can not say much. When l begin l lose
myself, and so when my friends come to see
me run away, instead of going to meet them,
that may not make them suffer. My health
is good enough, but when ones wit begins to
fail it is time for the heavens to open and take
them away.

SALISBURY MUST CO.

pecial Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat.
Washington, D. c., April 25.-The Bayard
and Salisbury families have long held full
sway in Delaware politics, but the time has ar
rived when the people Of that state demand
the de,hroning of Eli Salisbury as one of their
Sena orial representatives. Like in other
states, the various political elements in Dea-
aware have been at work, and the democratic
party has concluded that harmony vii! prevail
at the expense of Senator Salisbury. This
state of affairs is known to exist from the fact
that a short time since delegation from Del
aware waited upon the Senator and endeavor-
ed to persuade him to desist from further et
forts to become The United States States Sen
ator. which he peremptorily refused to do.
The Senator then proceeded to Delaware
and looked over the field, and came back here
more fully convinced that he was still safe in
the hands of the Delaware democracy. The
party is anxious, it seems, to elevate the pres
ent governor or Secretary of state Wolcott to
the position, and the move to shelve Senator
Salisbury is mainly on the part Of the Wolcott

The PrOhibitory Amendment Adopted
in IOwa.-The Majority 10000.
DEs MONIES, June %.

DEs MONIES. June ~.
Four hundred and ninety-nine townships
heard from at midnight give a majority for
the amendment of 34.4lO and majorities Of
1892 against it. The net majority of these
townships is 24,O9s. They constitute little
over fourth of the State.
These returns indicate majority for the
amendment of $4,000, and perhaps larger.
The temperance State committee claim a
majority of $4,000. All the larger cities ex-
cept Des Moines, give strong majorities
against. This city gives 1871 majority for
it, and the county will give over $500 ma
jority for the amendment Counties without
large cities and towns, almost invariably give
strong msjorities for the amendment.
River towns and cities give the principal
majorities against it. The city of Daven-
port gives nearly 1000 against, Scott county
probably over 5000 against. Temperance
people here are jubilant. and church bells in
the city were runs in celebration of the VIC
tory.
"a. Mp to this hour the returns re-
ceived from six hundred and forty-seyen
townships give for the amendment net ma.
jority of "a ,26s. This includes returns from
all the large cities in the State except Sioux
City. The majority in the State for the
amendment probably will be not less than
10000.
