"Sunhower' State before he was twenty-one
years old, That constitution was agreed upon
about twentyfour years ago. Mr.. Martin

is an editor, and looks somewhat
like George Alfred Townsend. He is
heavy-set, a little below the aver
age in height, and has dark eyes,
hair and mustache. He was prominently
spoken of nearly two years ago for Governor
but was defeated in convention by st. John,
the latter being the Prohibitionists' leader
1t is generally believed by Kansas men that
Colonel Martin will be the next Republican
nominee for Governor of the State,
William E. Chandler is probably the Oldest
member of the committee, and is said to be
anxious to secure the Craftsmanship at the
meeting tomorrow. The place was made
vacant by the death of Marshal Jewell.
Mr. Forbes, of Massachusetts, is also one
of the old members of the committee. He

The Importance of Forest Culture.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE annual report
of the Commissioner of Agriculture is in
print. In urging the importance of forest
culture, the Commissioner says: "The total
value of forest products in the United States
for the census year is estimated at 500, 600, =
000 in other words, the forest products exceed
in value our crops of hay, rye, oats, barley,
buckwheat, potatoes and tobacco taken to-
gether. They amount to ten times the value
of gold and silver, of which we make so much
account, and to more than three times the
value of precious minerals and coal and 9TH
er minerals combined"

marks of Judge Wylie.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE case of ex-
Senator Kellogg, indicted in connection with
the star routes, goes over till the next term.
Judge Wylie, in giving his decision, said the
statement that it was expected soon to secure
Walsh's attendance was rather hope than ex-
pectation. By Walsh's own declarations he
was determined not to appear unless certain
conditions named in his letter to the Pres-
dent were complied with, and the court had
no knowledge whether these conditions
would be complied with or not 1t appeared
to him the motion ought to be overruled, as
it would be unjust TO the defendant after
preparing for trial and bringing his
witnesses here, to keep him and his
witnesses in attendance on court until
the absent witness may be found. He
thought it would be very oppressive to re-
quire the defendant to come into court when
the government gives notice they are ready
He thought this an unusual motion. To
postpone the case indefinitely would be in
order with precedents. The defendant insists
on having immediate trial. His counsel de-
clares he is ready. The court could not make
that order. The court had no power to force
an attorney of the United States to enter a
nole pros. So long as he did not choose to
enter nolle pros. the court could not enter
one. 1t was true that in an extreme case the
court might direct jury to be inpaneled
against the protest of the government. Then,
if the government were not ready, the jury
could acquit He would not force the gov
ernment into trial, and the only course under
the circumstances was to postpone the case.

Baker Pasha Placed in Command.

LONDON, Dec II. - Dispatches received
from Cairo announce that Baker Pasha
will be appointed to the chief command in
the Soudan. Mahmoud Taber Pasha, the
Egyptian commander of Suakim has been
so unsuccessful in all his recent attempts to
hold the hostile Arabs in check that the
Khedives government have decided to recall
him at once and place an Englshman in
command. Nothing further will be attempt
ed untl Bakers arrival, and the Suakim
troops are expected simply to hold their
own in the interim. Baker Pasha's
delay in starting for SuakiA has been
caused by the constant receipt of news Of
fresh disasters and the recognized inutil.
ity in dispatching him with an neffectu.
ally small force. Now that it has been
decided to give him the sole command of
the rescuing contingent it has also been de-
cided that he shall not go away without
good support. He can reach Suakim from
Cairo in week, and the military authori-
ties believe that the present garrison will be-
able % hold out until reinforced
1t is now understood that Suakim will be
made the base of operations instead OF some
point on the Nile, as as was at first proposed.
Khartoum can be reached under ordinary
circumstances in two weeks and Suakim as

No Trains Running on the Canada Pacific
and All Workshops Closed.
WINNIPEG, Dec. 1.-THE entire business
of the Canadian Pacific railway is at stand
still; no trains are moving and workshops
are all shutdown. The trouble is owing to
the policy of retrenchment adopted by the
company. A deputation of engineers waited
on Superintendent Egan yesterday and sub
mitted the scale OF wages demanded. The
superintendent promised to submit the paper
to General Manager Van Horn, and would
take ten days. The deputation said they
would give him twenty -four hours to decide.
Egan replied he wonld decide in twenty-four
seconds, and accordingly sentout agreements
for the men to sign accepting the wages
offered by the company. This morning the
engineers went to the round-house, as usual
TO take their engines, and were asked to sign
the agreement. They refused and returned
to their homes. To-day Egan issued an order
to close all workshops along the line Atnoon
5000 men walked out An engineer aban-
doned his train at White Mouth on the East
ern division. The company will prosecute
him. The mail South was sent to Emerson
this morning by sleigh. The company tele-
graphed Eastfor engineers, but it will be
several days before trains are running 1t
is feared the men will become demonstra-
tive when the new men come on, and trou-

Depression in the Coal Trade

is made tonight that all coal mines along
the MonoDgahala river will suspend, opera
tions this week for an indefinite period ow-
ing to depression in the coal trade. In the
four pools there are seventy-five pits, and if
these close down over 5000 men will be
thrown out of employment. The depression
is the result of unreasonable weather and
overstocked markets here and at lower
points. Operators say there is no demand
for coal, and prices are so low they cannot
afford to sell. The miners are much de-
pressed at the turn affairs have taken, as
many of them not having saved anything
will be without the necessaries of life. An
arbitration based on the fourth pool was in
session again to-day but no decision was
reached. The matter will probably be re-
ferred to an umpire to morrow

RumOr that He Is Anxious to Retire from
the Cabinet.
Special to Louisville Courier-Journal.
The old story of Secretary Folger's retire
ment from the cabinet has been revived in
political circles here, and some men, usually
well informed, believe that the head of the
Treasury Department really means to retire
TO private life. Among Mr.. Folgers New
York frie-ds it has long been known that
his duties in Washington were not pleasant
to him. When he became Secretary of the
Treasury he had long been on the bench,
and his habits had become those of Judge
past the middle of life He had been accus-
toned to oversee personally and grasp the
routine business of the day and direct every
thing himself This it has been impossible
for him to do i'll Washington and in at
tempting to do it has injured his health
and, some of his enemies say, soured his
temper. The time has now come when he
can lay down these uncongenial cares and
it is believed he will shortly do so. One
friend of Secretary Folger goes SO far as to
say that it is not likely that he will accept
any other office. Though well advanced in
years, he is man who enjoys the pleasures
of social life in New York, and after he has
recovered his health he will devote himself
to those enjoyments and the quieter pleasure
of study.

The Useless Arctic Expeditions.

Washington Special
In conversation with prominent senator
President Arthur spoke of the proposed En-
glish expedition to the arctic regions as
more of this arctic insanity" He said
that while he was willing that everything
that could be done for the relief of Greedy
and his party should be done, he would pre-
fer that a whaling crew should be sent in
stead of big government expedition. He
thought that after Greedy was brought back
there would never be another sent by this
government to the arctic regions. "They
are cruel, inhuman and useless" said the
President, land public opinion is right in its
decision that they have been more the work
of misguided enthusiasts than the judgmenG

CARLISLE AS A DUELIsT.
How He Challenged stephen Easton-.The
Weapons Chosen by the Latter.

HAMILTON tO.J news.
tits not generally known, but it is never
theless fact, that Hon. John g. Carlisle
Speaker-elect of Congress, once challenged
our fellow-townsman, Stephen Easton, to
mortal comb bat, under the rules and regula-
tions of the code duello. 1t appears that the
old firm of Owns, Lane & Dyer had placed
an account in the hands OF Mr.. Carlisle, then
simple practitioner at the Kentucky bar
for collection. Mr. Carlisle collected the
money, it is said, but failed to make a return
of it, After repeatedly soliciting refunder,
without success, Owens, Lane & Dyer finally
brought suit against Mr.. Carlisle for the
amount and secured a judgment. Subse-
quently Clark Lane assigned this
judgment to Stephen Easton. Mr.
Easton secured the services of Allan
Kinneer, then practicing law here, and be-
tween them they at once inaugurated hot
siege against Mr.. Carlisle for the money.
That gentleman was in those days somewhat
of a convivialist, and at last becoming
highly exasperated, he sent peremptory
challenge to Stephen. The latter replied
that he accepted the challenge cheerfully.
However, he said that, inasmuch as he was
almost blind, it would be unfair upon the
part of Mr.. Carlisle TO expect him to meet
him npon the usual conditions and with the
customary weapons ordinarily employed in
affairs of such character. Moreover, as he
was the challenged party, he had a right,
under the code, to name the place and make
the choice of weapons He therefore desig-
mated Boston Common as the locality the
weapons to be clapboards Mr.. Easton never
heard from Mr.. Carlisle on the subject after

Fitz-John Porters Prospects.
National Republican.

National Republican.
While the friends of General Fitz-John
Porter claim that he will, without doubt,
secure the passage of the bill for his relief
through the present Congress, and assert that
such influences have been brought to bear as
will, in great measure, quiet the vigorous
opposition his measure was confronted with
in the past, it is evident that this is hardly
fair statement of the situation. So far
as Senator Logan is concerned it can be
stated authoritatively that his views have
not undergone the slightest change and he
will vigorously oppose the bill in the Senate.
The fact that General Porter's friends ex-
pect so much at the hands of the Demo-
cratic majority in the House has tended to
to impress other senators with a desire to
look more closely into the merits of his ap-
plication for relief, and it is thought that
the chances are that there will be great diff
fculty in securing the passage of the bill in
the Senate.
General Porter has made careful prepara-
tion for pressing his bill, and has sent out
several thousand circular letters to senators,
members, and prominent officials of the
government, and from these he expects to
obtain the influence of many, and at least
the passive acquiescence of Others. 1t is
predicted that should the bill be defeated at
the present session General Porter will not
again attempt % bring the measure before
Congress.
