THE KIDNAPPING CASE.
Nickerson Bound Over to the February
Term Of Cont.
BANGOR, Dec. 6.

BANGOR, Dec. 6.
The examination of W. S. Nckerson for
alleged abduction was concluded today. No
evidence was put in by the defence. Col.
Hutchings claimed that no man could be
holden for kidnapping his own son and that
action would not be under the statues. After
the argument by Hon. ID. F. Davis for the
government, Judge Brett dwelt upon the I'M
portance of the case and the interest felt in
examination by the public, and expressed re-
greet that no testimony was introduced to
clear up the mystery surrounding it and ex-
pressed feeling that still blacker crime had
been committed than appeared upon the &C
ton of the trial. He ordered Nickerson to
recognize in the sum of $500 for his ap
pearance at the February term of the Su-
preme Court, and suspended the mi,timus
for while to give him chance to procure
bail if possible.

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COM.
MlTTEE.
Senator FRYE to Propose New Basis
of Representation.

To remedy in measure what is regarded
by many as grave injustice of the present
representation in the republican national con
venton, which gives to the States and dis
tricts all over the country in the same voice,
regardless of the republican vote, when in
some districts in the South even the form of
nominating republicans for Congress is not
pursued. Senator Frye, member ofthe re-
publican national committee from Maine,
will propose at the meeting Of the committee
Dec. u, a new basis of representation as fol-
lows: Each State shah be entitled to four
delegates in each district instead of
two, to one additional delegate for each ten
thousand votes cast within its limits in 1880
for candidates for presidential electors, and to
one additional delegate for majority frac-
ton OF 1000 votes.
The vote for Presidential electors Is taken
as the best indication of the real strength of
the party in any district, being less liable to
be affected bv local cases.
The application of the same rule to the
present districts under the late apportionment
could not just now be readily made owing to
the lack of necessary and accurate infor ma
ton, but it will not materially change the
relative strength of the States, and will only
increase the total members of the convention
by so. Names membership will be increased
from II to 10, Mass, from % to "a; and
New Hampshire from to IL.

of lightning. and strong smell of sulphur
pervaded the air, making it difficult to

THE SEA SERPENT -
Again Seen by the Crew OF Life Saw.

Capt w. L. Green. keeper of life saving
station at Long Branch, reports to the gen.
eral superintendent IF the service. under the
date of Nov. oath, that five of his men were
fishing in the ocean few days before and
saw hideous sea serpent a short distance
from the boat. According to the story told
by the crew, the serpent was fully 80 or 100
feet in length and 80 feet wide, and they did
not see the entire length. They also say
there we're two blow holes about feet long
and feet wide about 20 feet from his nose.
The body was black, the head short and near
the nose were two stubby horns. Green also
adds that the serpent was seen from the sta.
ton. making its appearance on the surface
at intervals of ten minutes.

English Attorney General Criiicises the
Management of O'Donnell's Case.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.
The Graphic has the following from Lon
don: "Sir Henry James, attorney general,
has written a letter to Lord Chief Justice
Coleridge. taking exceptions to the conduct
of the counsel for the defence in the O'Don-
nell case. The attorney general suggests
that should the council in future cases at
tempt to interject statements which are in
the nature of evidence, the justice before
whom the case is being tried shall inform the
counsel that such pleading is inadmissible
and will not he permitted. Should an appeal
be taken from this ruling, the question is to
be decided by the full court. Had Judge
Denman, he says, objected to the statements
made by Charles Russell in his opinion of the
O'Donnell case. the defence would have ap.
pealed and the full bench decided the words
admissible, and O'Donnell would have been
admitted

MORMON THUNDER.
How the Presidents Message Was Re.
ceived in Utah.

SALT LAKE, Dec 6.
The News, a Mormon organ, says: 1.-The
Presidents message will be hailed by hire
ling clergy with pleasure, aud will receive
an amount of popular support. 1t is not
shown in what way the destruction of our
local government would affect the question of
polygamy. The plural marriages of Nor
mons are not recognized by territorial laws,
and could not be dissolved by commissions,
by edicts, BY armies other earthly power.
They are ecclesiastical, perpetual, eternal.
until MormOns become recreant to their faith
with high Heaven. These unions will be
recognized by the Almighty Being, who es
tablished them for the benefit of his people.
and the fullness of His glory. The Presi-
dents remarks on Utah polygamy will not
add force to his message nor credit to his
craftsmanship. They are a sop to bigots and
a breath to the flame Of popular passion. 1t
is doubtful if it will have a practical bearing
on Congress. Certainly, it will create no
commotion among the God-fearing people Of
Utah"
The same journal patronizes the democrats
and hopes they will defeat the measure in the
House.

DEnoCRATIc CAUCUS.
The Yousg Mea Disposed to Push the
Old Folks Aside.
WAsHIxGrcs, Dec 5.

WAsHIxGrcs, Dec 5.
The democratic senators had caucus this
morning, Senator Pendleton presiding, to ar
range the parfy's membership Of committees.
No other subject was discussed Some feel
ing was displayed in respect TO the habit Of
older members of the Senate securing the
majority Of important places on committees
to the exclusion of younger members. A
resolution was carried to appoint committee
of seven. which shall arrange the minority
membership committee of the Senate and re-
port the action at the next caucus.
1t is generally conceded by the democratic
members of the house that Morrison Of Ill
inois will be given the craftsmanship Of the
WAYS and means and Randall of the appro-
priation committees. As associates on ways
and means are mentioned Messrs. Hewett Of
New York, Tucker of Virginia, Curtin OF
Pennsylvania, Geddes of Ohio, Herbert of
Alabama, Seymour of Connecticut. Msybury
of Michigan, Cox of New York and Hurd of
Ohio democrats, and Kelley of Pennsylvania,
Kasson Of Iowa and Haskell of Kansas, re-
publicans. The democrat members of the
House do not unanimously favor Morrison's
selection for the ways and means chairman
ship. The ground of opposition being as ex-
pressed by protectjonist, that his appoint
ment closely following Mr.. Carlisle's election
10 the spthkeIsulp ~ouiu ptcSiPtoeO tS
tariff issue for 1884, and, added the gentle
man, is il the province of the speaker not,
for that matter, of Congress either, to force
political issues upon the country.
The opinion is expressed that the commit
tee on elections will be appointed at an early
date, possibly the first Of next week, while
the others will not be announced until
short time prior to the adjournment for the
holidays. For the craftsmanship of the COM
mitree on elections Mr. Cobb of Indiana aud
T. II. Davis of Missouri are mentioned. MIR.
Reagan of Texas is spoken of for the COM
mittee on commerce. Mr.. Belmont is ais"
mentioned in connection with the chairman
ship of the same committee. Ii he does not
get a craftsmanship on foreign affairs, Cox
of New York is considered as the probable
chairman OF the latter committee. The name
Of Mr.. Morse of Massachusetts is oftenest
heard in connection with the naval chairman
ship. Mr.. Buckner of Missouri who was
chairman of the committee on banking and
currency when the democrats had control OF
the house, is mentioned for the same place
again, and Mr. Hatch, also of Missouri, is
spoken of as likely to be chairman of the
committee on Agriculture. Mr.. Tucker of
Virginia, because of his long service in the
House, is believed will be given a judiciary
Craftsmanship, though friends of Mr.. Heard
of Ohio, say he will be made chairman.
Speaker Carlisle is diligently keeping his
own counsel in respect to his purposes.
