FROM WASHINGTON.

Washington dispatch says; It is rumored
that the Minnesota senators are not in entire
harmony in relation to some pending questions
abou& federal appointments. The chief bone
or contention Is about the office of United
States district attorney. Senator Mcmillan fav-
ors the appointment to this office OF Mr.. j. n
Searles, of Hastings, while Senator Window
supports Mr.. D. B. Sesrle, of St Cloud, for
that position. Senator Mcmillan also insists on
the appointment OF H. R. Denny, OF Carver, to
the ot1cs or United States marshal in place of
Gen. McLaren 1t is understood that Window
viii not oppose this appointment provided Nc
MILAN will withdraw his opposition 10 The ap-
pointment Of the St CIOud man for district at
torney. Minnesota politicians here think this
compromise has already been virtually agreed
upon.
Now that Mr.. Blaine has retired from, the
cabinet the members of the diplomatic corps
are willing TO talk more freely as 20 his foreign
policy, and 1t is plain that it Tas regarded with
anything but admiration. His attitude toward
Great Britain excited special wonder. Upon
the whole the aggressive policy marked ont hv
the late secretary impressed many cf tie
dlpiomatists as uncalled for III advised, ,ianger-
ous and even ridiculous
1t is said on high authority that Judge Ad
vocate General Swain, in reviewing the court
martial proceedings in the case of Cadet Whit
taker, has raised the point that the court was
Illegally constituted, because it was ordered bY
President Hayes without any request from a
department commander, and that therefore all
the proceedings were void.
Plenty of evidence is developing TO show
that there is to be a lively discussion over the
bill to pay the expenses of Gen, Qartield's last
illness.
1t is settled to-day upon the authority of east
ern senators that v. L. Chandler will certain
ly succeed Hunt as secretary of the navy.
The rumor that John c. New will be appointed

memory and bigoted notions Of some peo-

in the presence Of the man. Still the Tin

aptomb, and the big, yellow bearded fell
low with a jovial laugh and a hearty smile

sympathy and charitable feeling, but with

jerked about four feet into the air. His neck
was not broken and he struggled about five
minutes after the drop fell.
Martin kankowsky was executed at Jersey

RAILROAD RUNBLINGS.

The various railway companies are already
outlining their new construction for the year
1882. The outlook reveals dwarfed and re-
stricted developemeet compared with that of
1881. From official information it seems
doubtful if the railways to be constructed this
year shall exceed 5, 900 miles. The great trunk
lines leSding westward and northwestward from
Chicago will be content with a very slight ex-
"ansion this year The Chicago Milwaukee 4
Paul company has decided to reduce it's con-
sruction account for 1882, and it is under
stood that President Mitchell and the Scotch
syndicate behind hlm have called the halt II

more than $50 miles of road this year. The

wanted at the Pole.
WdHtCU u1 OhhO = VI
From the New York Times.

FROM tne new YOrk lImeS
There Is, however, class of people who
might very properly be permitted to go in
search of the pole, with the distinct under.
standing that In no circumstances would
any expedition be sent to their relief. The
veople who insist on believing in the open
,olar sea, and who to this folly add the
rime Of lecturing upon it, could be per-
aitted to sail in search Of that impossible
sea without causing pang of regret t oany
one, except, perhaps, their creditors.
There is now in this country on
amiable and accomplished British naval
officer, who wants to go to the pole in o
balloon. As yet he has not lectured sufi-
ciently often to create any ungovernable
desire on the part Of the public that he
should put his plan into execution, but
there is prospect that in course of time
the American as well as the English pub
lie will decide that the Arctic sea is yawn-
ing for him. In that case let him take all
the lunatics who think that polar explora-
tions is good thing. and let congress pass
a law making it a capital offsnse for any
ole to propose to 90 in search Of the pole,
aud sensible people will no longer be
harassed by the anxieties to which polar
expeditions invariably give rise, nor vexed
at the wlste of money and energy which
they involve

Brave Bear to be Hansell.

At Yankton, on the 5th, Brave Bear, an In
dian chief, was convicted of the murder Of Joe
johnson, about 25 miles east of Fort SuIIy in
1879. The evidence against him, though
strong, was all circumstantial. Among the
witnesses who testified were E. II. Allison, the
celebrated Indian scout and Mrs. Clifford, a
half breed, and the wife Of a discharged soldier
at Standing Rock. Allison played animportant
part in securing the surrender OF Sitting
Bulls people, and from his testimony il ap-
pears that while at Standing Rock Brave Bear
told Allison that at a certain point he had $500
buried, and that if he would go with him to get
it he brave Bear) would give Allison 5000:
that he had taken the money from man named
johnson, whom he had killed, and that he had
killed Johnson for his horse and his gun, which
he had wanted to use in making raids with Sit
ting Bull, and that he found 81 600 upon the
/ body ofJohnson. 1t also appeared that about
the time the dead body of
johnson was found, near the
place where Brave Bear stated he had com
mitted murder, chat Johnson had been working
for the post trader at Fort Sully, aud had been
who lived in the James valley Allison identi
/ fed the gun which johnson had tried to sell
him, and which Brave Bear said had belDnged
to the dead man. The horse which Brave Bear
had was also identified as Johnson's. Mrs.
Clifford testified that a. that time Brave Bear
had plenty of money and that Brave BEARS
former wife, whom he had discarded, saw him
commit the deed. The wife was sent fer but
could not be found. Three other indians. two
of them sanaws, testified The Indian was do
Tended by Oliver Shannon, who was appointed
by the court and who was not able to secure
any witnesses for the defense The chsrge Of
the judge was short, but to the point Z The
