A Territorial Fight.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-Brentz, delegate
from Washington territory, has just got in &
bill, and got it referred to the subcommittee
of the housed committee on territories for
admission into the union of the state of Wash
ington, to be composed of Washington terri
tory and three counties OF northern Idaho.
Ainsle, delegate from Idaho, is fighting the
bill because it takes in part OF his territory.
and he is backed by other territorial represen-
tatives, who do not like the precedent this bill
would establish. They fear, should this bill
pass, other territories wanting to become
states, might endeavor to capture portions of
adjoining territories in order to increase their
population. Hence determined fight will be
made~against Brentz's bill, which has been re-
ferred to a subcommittee consisting of Al
dricb, Van VOORHEES, and Richardson, two re-
publicans and one democrat. The republicans
are DESTROYS of getting part of Dakota admit
ted as state, and therefore it is not likely
they will embarrass that movement by taking
up the application of Washington to become
q state

Why James Buchanan Never Married.
H. Harper In Cincinnati Enuuirer.l

IL. Harper In Cincinnati Enquirer.
The story of Mr.. Buchanan's courtship and
contretemps with his lady-love, which induced
him to live and die bachelor, has often been
told, but the writers never seemed to have
learned the real history of the case, which was
related to me over forty years ago by an init
mate friend and neighbor of Mr.. Buchanan,
the late John Snyder, of Pittsburg. Mr..
Buchanan, after he returned home to Lancas-
ter. Penn, after the war of 1912, opened law
office, and his talents and industry soon Sc
cured for him large and lucrative practice,
which extended over Lancaster and the adjoin-
ing counties. He was large, fine looking
young man, and his society was very much
sought after, especially by the ladies. In the
course of time he became engaged in marriage
to one OF Lancaster's beautiful and accomp-
lished daughters, a high. minded, independent,
but rather naughty and domineering
lady. Professional business called Mr..
Buchanan to neighboring county, where he
remained for several days, when he returned
late in the day, he found his Office filled with
clients awaiting his arrival, who kept him en-
gagged until after the usual bed hour at night
without even affording him an opportunity
to take his supper. AS soon as he was relieved
from his clients he FASTENED to the home of his
only to find it closed and dark.
Early the next morning, however, he repeated
the visit. He rang the bell when a servant ap-
peared. and in response to the inquiry for the
object of his visit was informed that "she was
not at home" This he knew was falsehood,
for he caught glimpse of the lady through
an upper chamber window as he was approach
ing the house. He went away, but never
called again. Both parties were teo proud
and Independent to ask or make an explana-
ton. The lady soon afterward went into a de-
cline and died. Mr.. Buchanan never courted
another lady, and, although fond of the So
ciety OF the gentler sex, he lived and died a
bachelor

had been long and expressive, and he did not
desire to give any opportunity for objection,
upon which to form demand for new
trial.
Reed, with some vehemence, maintained
the district attorney had no right to attempt
to influence the jury by such an imputation as
he had just said.
Guiteau - l appreciate this unexpected
courtesy of Corkhill, and don't wholly agree
with Reed, your honor.
Judge Cox stated he had decided to allow
the prisoner to speak.
Davidge, who had just come in, inquired:
lis the prisoner to speak, your honor? If so,
would like to INQUIRE about how much time
he will occupy"
Gniteau-I shall deliver to the jury my speech
which has been published in all the news
papers.
Davidge-I have not seen it,
Guiteau-Well, then would advise you to
getit at once and read it. shall want about
two hours, your honor, speak rapidly.
As Guiteau was not prepared to speak to-
day, the court adjourned till tomorrow.
Davidge stated Porter is in quite feeble health
and probably will be unable to speak before
Monday. 1t is probable the court will ad-
journ at noon tomorrow until Monday

House of Representatives.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.--The house went
into committee of the swhole on the private
callencar. The first bill was one to relieve
from the charge OF desertion two soldiers I'M
Justly treated on that charge during the war,
convicted and imprisoned, and to restore
their right to bounty, but no pay. A motion
was made by Holman to recommend the bill
with instructions to report general law COW
ering all similar cases, but it was RULED out of
order.
Mr.. Randall expressed the hope that the com;
mittees on military. affairs would mature and
report bill giving to the war department
some power to grant such clemency, and thus
relieve congress of that large class of cases.
After an hours discussion the bill was laid
aside to be reported to the house.
There were in all six private bills considered
in committees and reported to the house when
at $50 the committee rose, and the speaker
resumed the chair.
Mr.. Kelly moved to adjourn over until Mon
day and on that motion the yeas and nays were
ordered. The motion was rejected, 90 to ia.
The motion was subsequently renewed and
agreed to.
The bills reported from the committees OF
the whole were then passed.
The Notification appropriation bill, appro-
priatlng $375, 900, was reported and notice
given, it will be callednp Tuesday next. AID

Nfe Saving Service.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Conger, as
a subcommittee of the senate committee on
commerce, to whom was referred the ques-
ton of reorganizing the life saving service,
has reported bill for that purpose, which
has been ordered printed and recommended for
consideration by the full committee. The bill
was framed by Senator Conger after consulta-
ton with the superintendent of the life saving
service. 1t provides Tor an increase of the
number of life saving stations to twenty
eight, and also five or six more houses for
refuge for shipwrecked passengers. 1t in
creases the salaries of the superintendent of
stations according to the extent of their re-
spective districts, and authorizes the secretary
of the treasury to fix the compensation of
station keepers at such rates as he may deem
proper up to the maximum salary of $500 per
year. The bill also provides that surf men
who are injured or disabled in the service shall
be continued on the pay roll one year, or not
to exceed two years, and pensions for two
years to the families of surf men who lose
their lives.

UNIFORMITY IN TIME.
An Effort 10 Make a Universal standard
Thr0ug h0ut the World.

An Effort 10 Make a Universal standard
Throughout the World.
The society of civil engineers, now in
session in New York, have had under
consideration the feasibility of adopting
o uniform system of standard time for all
parts of the world. A plan submitted by
Sanford Fleming, chief engineer of the
Canadian Pacific railroad, to the society,
is undoubtedly the most practicable
and meritorious plan, ever devised to
bring about the object which the society
has in view. Mr.. Jennings plan has
been submitted to the scientific men in
this country and Europe, and an inter-
national convention to consider this
question will in all probability be held at
an early day. Mr.. Fleming's plan is as
follows: a.
It is proposed to establish one universal
standard of time which may be common to all
people throughout the world, to be based on
the unit measure OF time, as denoted by the
diurnal revolution Of the earth as determined
by the mean solar PASSING at one particular
meridian to be selected as time zero. The
prime meridian and the time zero
are to be established through the
ure will be divided into twenty-four equal
parts, these to be defined by standard time
meridlans established around the globe, Is
degrees of longitude, or one hour, distant
from each other. The standard time
meridians are to be denoted by the letters of
the English alphabet, which, emitting j and
v, are twenty-four in number, the
zero meridian to be lettered 2, the remaining
meridians to be lettered in order from east to
west. The adoption of this system in the
United States and Canada would, exclusive OF
Newfoundland and Alaska, have the effect of
reducing the standards of time to four. These
four standards would represent the merid-
ians, r, 8, T, and U. Under this plan the,
noon letter in every instance would
agree with the letter by which the standard
meridian of the locality would be known. Ad-
vancing westwardly, local time would become
one hour slower from meridian to meridian,
as indicated by the minerals which denote the
forenoon hours, while the afternoon letters
would everywhere be in perfect agreement.
The time of New York would be
regulated by standard R, Chicago by standard
S, Denver by standard T, and San Francisco
by standard ., each standard differing by steps
of one hour. Yet, at any given hour in the
afternoon-say at Wit would be w O'Clock
at the same moment in absolute time all over
the world.

PROVING AN ALIBI.
A New Turn Given to the Direction of
Public Thought In the Murder Trial at
neutrality-suspicious. Proving an Alibi.

CATLETTsBURG, KY, Jan. 20.-The
Ashland murder trial was delayed this
morning by consultation with witnesses
by the defense. Mrs. Ellis was the first
witness She and husband went to bed at
the same time, about O'Clock, the night
of the murder She was awakened at II
o'clock. Her husband was then in bed.
Was awake at 4:3O a. m. Still her hus-
band was in bed. Was asleep between
gate and if her husband went out that
night she didn't know it. She stated
they did not have dinner on Christmas
day. Saw her husband and Craft at the
fire. Didn't see her husband again until
2 O'Clock. Thought sufficient time inter-
vened from the time she saw her husband
at the fire. until she saw him again to go
to Ashland cemetery and back, the point
designated by Ellis, where he, Neal and
Craft met. 1t will be remembered that
Ellis stated he ate dinner at home that
day about IL o'clock.
Oliver Hampton called-Heard Ellis
say, in the presence of Ira Campbell,
that Neal and Craft were innocent, but
the prosecution tried to show Ellis was
scared into this declaration by threats
by Neal and Craft. Deposition read
from witnesses in Maysville jail tended to
strengthen the confession of Ellis.
j. B. Howell, owner of Gibbons house,
is now being examined as to the shape
and location of the building. Mrs. Neal
was present, crying at times, while Neal
sat at table scribbling ON a piece Of
paper with lead pencil. The prisoners
have not yet been told of the hanging at
Ironton by mob last night, which has
stirred up much excitement here.
AN ALIBI.
CATLETTsBURG, KY, Jan. 20.-Some one
has lied in the Ashland murder trial. The de-
Tense examined number of witnesses this af-
ternoon, and proved by several that on the
morning that Neil, Croft and Ellis were said to
have been talking near the Ashland cemetery,
that Ellis and Croft were not there. The de-
Tense proved that Croft and Ellis were some
where else, and that John Hensley, Isaiah Nc
Allister and Joe Bertram were the parties who
met Neal. He and all were talking near the
Summons house, and at the same time said
they saw the woman looking at them. The de-
Tense is gaining ground in the case, and the ex-
citement is higher than at any previous time.
The court room was packed with eager lis
teners. Several reliable witnesses were called
and proved Meals character and general repu-
tation was good. The defense will close early
the morning.

stra,v Bond Star Route Cases j..

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The principal
cause of delay in the straw bond star route
cases thus far, has arisen from the defense in
sisting upon every bid and contract introduced
as evidence. The prosecution, by clever ma.
neuvre, had all these papers examined and
identified privately by notary Webster, who
originally witnessed them, and this morning
created rather of sensation in court by CALI
ing Webster and Blackman to the stand and
proving the papers in bulk. A strong OBJ
lection was made by the defense at this action,
but they were overruled by the court. The
examination, in consequence, will be much
shortened. The defense denounced this pri-
vate examination as star chamber proceed
ing and manifested much feeling on the sub
iect.
