some English History.

Earl Rosebery, in address to Liberals
at EPSON on the 8th, said /: The Sou
dan catastrophe has been sent to test
the spirit of patriotism of the country;
One hundred years ago England suffered
a humiliation as great as any in history.
She had just signed a treaty giving over
her fair provinces, now the United
States of America, to independence,
and was compelled to surrender to a
successful rebellion of her own sub
iects. Her armies i had 6a t0d twice capitaia-
uDfunded debt, and was unable to
send an army into the field. British
statesmen did not seruple to say that
the sun of England had sci: never to
rise again; yet. within nine years,
England commenced a great war with
France, which proved the most gigantic
and successful she had ever undertaken,
and which left her the leading power
of the world. Il behOOves English
men to present an undivided front to
the enemy.

dered Mrs. Judge Cole recently in the
town of PIaQuemiRe and robbed her OF
valuable iewelry. They we're offering

them. They told several stories about
how they got them, all of which was
taken cum QTGno salts by the detective
After rejecting over the matter awhile
he concluded to arrest them and teie-
graph to various points for Information
about them, as he felt sure the jeWelry
was TOO valuable tOhave been honestly
obtained by the negroes. Word came
from plaauemine to hold them, and the
next day Deputy Sheriff Sam Bigley
reached Memphis, identified the ear
rings as being pair owned by MRS.
Cole. and he also identified one OF the
negroes, Geo. Wilson, as being notO-

to the officers as a very bad character.
He is to leave here to-day for the scene
of the murder with the captured ne

Mckay Knows Not When Hunter will Take

'How much would you take now, as specu-
lative venture, for your June salary9" was asked
Internal Revenue Collector Mckay yesterday.
About five cents" was the reply. .
what information have you as TO when DR..
W. d. II. Hunter, of Lawrenceburg, will take
charge of the object"
II have not had a word from Washington, nor,
indeed. from anywhere else except what I have
seen in the newspapers. I am ready at any mo-
ment to turn the Office over to my successor. The
best time for the transfer would be at the close
of the fiscal year, June 80 That time would be
most convenient for all persons, especially for
the new collector"
How many employees are there in your dis
trictg"
There are four employees here in the Office,
and twenty-four store keepers, thirteen gaugers
and three deputy collectors, one of whom is at
Lawrenceburg, one at Shelbyville and one at
Harrison. The statement that Lawrenceburg
pays fve-sixths of the revenue of the district is
not true In no one month has she paid more
than three ffths. and on an average it will aver
age little more than one-half. It is understood
that DR. Hunter will remove the Office to Law

correspondent stated that. the first steamboat
on the Red river came up by way of the
Minnesota river and Lake Traverse An old
settler of Crow Wing. now living at Wahpe-
ton, says the first steamboat in the Red river
came up from st. Anthony to Crow Wing,
having been washed over the intervening
falls at Sank Rapids and Little Falls. She
was then run up the Crow Wing river to the
old Chippewa agency. She was there taken
to pieces and transported with bob-sleds to
the Red river, over the deep snow. This
happened in 1858. The name of the boat was
Fl. NJ. Rice. The scheme was planned by
Capt. Arson Northrop, an old settler of
Minnesota. The undertaking was successful,
and the steamboat commanded by Cap t.
Jesse Young ran the trade of the Red river
for several years. The following about high
water may interest some: In 1895 the water
backed from Lake Traverse, overlooking the

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Nothing can be
elected concerning the Dakota governor APP
pointment. but upon the arrival OF M. IL.
Day the matter becomes more interesting.
The Dakotians here who are really OppoS-
ing Mr.. Ziebach now perceive the weakness
of their methods of opposition and are en-
deavoring to concentrate upon some one
man. Barney Caulfied is said to be the
man finally settled upon as the candidate
with whom to down the Sioux City editor.
Scheaf seems to have refused to become a
regular applicant for the place. Ziebach
still tarries in the city. but the wear and
tear of hope deferred shows the sickness of
his heart. The opposition appears to have
at last realized that their scattered antag-
onisms admit ed of the plausible explana-
ton that the real intent was to secure Gov.
Pierces retention, and this was inherently
weak. for the president has determined
upon a change. Now, there is not only a
concentration upon Caulfeld, but all
avowed denunciation OF Ziebach is aban-
doned, and the view advanced that the
Boynton- Russell Thompson crowd merely
seek the opening of the big Sioux reserva-
ton. Secretary Lamar IS certainly for lie
bach, and when he finally does reach the
point of making recommendation, the de-
cision will then be squarely with the pres
dent. 1t is again repeated that Mr.. lie
bach has perhaps injured his prospects by
his presence in the city. Not that his ap-
pearance and address are not prepossessing
for they are, but there is general displeas-
ure on Mr.. Clevelands part toward any lo-
tering in Washington to secure positions
He prefers that federal officers should be

at the approach OF the iron horse. The
sale OF lots was conducted by John IL. King
of Chamberlain, who is going to practit 9
his profession, the law, and he was assisted
by some other railroad town-site men.
They sold $50, 900 worth of lots the first
day, the highest lot selling for 81, 750. The
town is being built with pine lumber from
the Black Hills. which is of very fine quail
ity. and when seasoned and sawed regu-
larry is as good as any lumber in the Black
Hills. The tin mines, the gold mines, the
hot springs, the lumber interests and the
cattle interests are expected to make Buff
alo Gap city. The railroad company has
stopped laying track and it will be the end
of the road for six months or more. The

point is unparalleled in the history of Da-

thousand inhabitants in sixty days. Bea-
