Valentine; marshal, James N. Kerns, and
for governor of Idaho. William NJ Bum.

The Philadelphia Times says of this series
President Arthur straddled the Philadelphia
appointments yesterday in the most artistic way.
The neatncss of his neatest-ftting and anti
bagging trousers can't compare with the neatness
of his political straddle in parting out his Phila-
delphia offices. Valentine continues in the
district attorneyship small tub to the civil
vice reform whale; Vanderslice comes in to make
Quay and Lane solid with the administration and
the administration solid with the dominant
machine; Kerns is recommissioned because he
has been there on the kind side of Leeds and
never offended machine impulse or disobeyed a
machine order, and Bum pops up serenely as
Governor of Idaho, to bring up ''the boys in
solid and shouting phalanx for the powers that
be-
The comment of the Times is quite signif-
cant, and perhaps goes far enough, but
little farther light is interesting. These ap-
pointments had been for some time due, but
were hung up in order that the best bargain
possible might be perfected. The President
has been credited with many times moving
slowly, and in this case he certainly exercised a
measure of caution and did not consent to
do the bidding of Colonel Quay, the acting
boss of Pennsylvania, who is chief-of-staff to
the Cameron machine. Quay's proposition
to the President was that for and in consid-
eratin of the pension appointment Arthur is
to have the full use and behoof
of the Cameron machine to secure
delegates to the national conven-
ton. The President held off, it is said,
until Quay furnished him proof that he could
deliver the goods. During this time Judge
Kelley and Senator Mitchell looked serenely
~ of
demean himself to enter into such an
unmanly dicker, and deliberately,
if not open trade upon the
Federal spoils. When the nominations were
announced Kelley was the maddest man
Washington has seen in long time, and
Senator Mitchell woke up from his dream of
security to find that for once in his life he
must fight the Executive or forever after hold
his peace. Judge Kelley went to work to
defeat Vanderslice with his usual vigor, but
with heavy odds against him and the smallest
probability that the Senate would refuse to
confirm the appointment.
The friends of Mr. Blaine find the ground
slipping away from under them, and that it
is hard to make Roadway fer a candidate
whose boom is being pushed by
parcel of book agents. Arthur
will profit by his bargain with Quay, and even
the rejection of Vanderslice by the Senate,
would be, in some degree, hopeful thing.
The Blaine men are fairly handicapped, and
Arthur has won by. strategy, what he could
not have gained by straight work. Civil ser
vice reform is good joke to such gentle
manly president as Chef. Arthur.

Cattle Disease Spreading.

EMPoRIA, KS, March IA train from
Topeka, bearing Gov. Click and about fifty
citizens, from various parts of the state,
went down to Neosho Falls to-day, to attend
the meeting of the cattle men, The interest
in the mouth and foot disease is intense,
and called together representatives from
twelve counties. A committee from Lyon
county, reported the disease, as on the farm
OF James Otvale, about four miles from
Hartford. At q sale ON this farm a
short time ago, cattle were
sold to go to all parts of the state,
and the danger is very great, as six head of
cattle in the herd had the disease in its most
advanced stage. One new case was also re-
ported in the south part of Woodson county,
where twelve head are afflicted. Veterinary
Surgeons Holcom and Chambord, who have
been all over the infected district, reported
confirming all the statements previously
made, and stated that the only cure known
is death and fire. They urged the
killing of the animals and the obstruction
by fire OF the carcasses and all forage, and
everything connected with it, The reports
show that quarantine is established, but it
is not observed as it should be, cattle are be-
ing moved and the only way to prevent
this is pronounced to be by a
special session of the legislature
when specific laws will be enacted.

Possible Apache Outbreak.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 11.--Erami,aer' IS
Tombstone special: Geronomi, with thirty
three Apaches in charge of Lieutenant Brit
ton Davis, have just returned from Sonora
bringing 1900 cattle and 100 horses and
mules with Mexican brands. They
stole them last Saturday. Rowland,
general inspector of customs, attempted
to seize the stock as struggled property, but
Lieut. Davis refused to recognize his de-
mand, saying the stock was not in his
charge. A demand was then made on Davis
as citizen of the United States to assist the
officers to make the seizure. He replied
Make attempt and you'll see what I'll do"
Geronomi said he would die before he would
give up the stock and that he would
put 1000 Apachcs on the war path in forty
eight hours. He dispatched runners to the
reservation about midnight The Indians of
Crook camp took the stock. 1t. Doors says
the situation is serious. If the demand is
insisted on it will result in the biggest Apache
outbreak ever known

Il Note that Cost a Marshalship.
Washington Special.


Some of the politicians regard the with
drawal Of the name of Thomas Keogh Qately
nominated for marshal for the western dis
trict Of North Caroliha) as serious defeat for
the President. 1t is also stated that the with
drawal was forced by the fighting tactics of
Senator John Sherman, who dreaded Keogh's
power as a politician in North Carolina
Investigation shows that the reasons for
Keogh's withdrawal were not political ones.
The Senate judiciary committee, to which
the nomination was referred, reported unan-
imously against Keogh's confirmation upon
showing made before them by ex-Marshal
Robert Douglas, son of Stephen A. Douglas.
Robert Douglas alleged before the commit
tee that several years ago Keogh held his
note for $1,000. He paid 81, 600 upon the
note, he said, for which Keogh gave him a
written receipt. This payment, Douglas
claimed, was not Endorsed on the note, and
it was afterwards sold for its full face value
to an innocent purchaser in Chicago, who is
now suing Douglas for the full amount of
the note. Keogh set up afterwards that the
81, 900 was paid to him legal fee, but the
committee thought otherwise after looking
at Douglass receipt and the record in the

A WEEPING boy in cell at the police sta
ton last night developed one of the peculiar
tiles of life. The boy was arrested for beg
ging, an offense which is rarely punished.
He said, between his sobs, that he would be
willing to go to the reform school, but his
mother was starving. Hessis the son OF
Mrs. Kepler, in East st. Paul, who
was criminally assaulted recently by four
ruffians. She never has recovered from the
assault, his father is nearly blind and unable
to work and there are several other children
besides himself. Under such circumstances
the boy went out to beg and instead of re-
turning with bread the family are left to suf-
fer, with the additional anxiety occasioned
by his absence. There might be moral
drawn upon the humanity of Justice, but the
statement of the case is enough.

From Spokane to the Mines.

A. M. Cannon and J. J. Brown, of Spo-
kane Falls, have just passed through st. Paul
on there way back from Washington, where
they have been for some weeks for the pur-
pose of getting road from Spokane to the
Occur d. Alene mines. The reason
OF their going to Washington
for this purpose is that the
laws of Idaho contain no provisions for OBJ
tanning franchises for railways. The conse-
quence is they were compelled to go to con :
gress. They accordingly have bill on its
way for road as suggested. All they ask is
the right to build the road and do not seek
any land grant or other subsidy. The CAPT
tai stock Of the road is s2,5OO,O0O. The in
corporators are j. J. Browne, A. NJ. Cannon,
A. s. Davis, o. F. Wild, H. L. Cummings
and W. II. Armstrong. The road will con-
meet with the Northern Pacific and

STAR ROUTE CASES.
Cook on the Stand. Who Gives Some
Damaging Evidence of Par
TALLY.
His Fears for Garfield from the Stalwarts and
Half-Breeds.
He was not Surprised in the Least at the
Shooting of the President.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Wm. A. Cook
day He said shortly after he was appointed
special counsel in the star route cases, he
had an interview with President Garfield,
who told witness the cases involved many
who had been his special friends,
but he wanted thorough in
vestigation irrespective of persons.
Witness had interview with President Gar
field and the postmaster general on Wednes-
day evening before the president was as
sassinated. Before leaving, 1 said to the
president, he should be careful of his move
ments as bitterness had arisen between the
stalwarts and the halfbreeds, and in these
cases the men were of extreme feeling. /
said at that time, there might be a resort TO
violence. Such was the impression then on
my mind. My suggestion for the
moment touched the president, but
ne responded there was no
danger. The bitterness of feeling so strong
that would not have been surprised had it
carried itself against the postmaster general
and attorney general. l don't think used.
at that interview the language recently
placed in my lips by James, but stated in
substance what | have given you. Witness
strongly desired to have an investigation
pursued, that would show whether Guiteau
had accomplices or not, but nothing came of
it. The witness was of the opinion that
the shooting of the president was not the in
dividual action of Guiteau. This, he said,
was in harmony with what he had suggested
to the president in connection with the bit
terness between the stalwarts and half breeds.
He had proof that two other persons had ac
companied Guiteau when he was seeking
pistol. Shortly after witness entered the en-
ploy of the government he had an idea that
the reckless feeling on the part of those in
the star route cases might be carried into
practice.
P. H. Woodward, postoffice inspector, tes-
titled that the story floating about concern
ing Ellis was mere idle gossip. He knew
nothing about Ellis in connection with those
matters. He had never investigated any
thing about him, and so far as he, witness,
was concerned, there was nothing
worthy of moments consideration, affect
ing Ellis. Peel, member of the committee,
expressed the view that as according to the
testimony there was nothing further for the
committee to do, the investigation should be
closed, but the chairman thought that as Brott
and Edwards had been subpenaed it would
be as well to take their statements.

The Republican newspapers of the state

whether they shall send delegates to their ma
honal convention by holding five district
conventions to select two delegates
each, and state convention
merely to select four delegates, or whether
state convention shall do the whole work.
There is good deal of unnecessary fuss on
this point. 1t is merely matter of personal
convenience to the politicians. The Repub-
leans have decided their policy to be district
representation at their National conventions.
