Senator Baruum's viewA

CHICAGO, Sept %. Hon William H.
Barnum was at the Grand Pacific Sunday.
To a reporter he expressed his opinion that
the civil service law was nonsense; that
honest administration was the only issue at
present, but that the silver question was
going TO take up large part of congres
sional time. He believed that Cleveland
would in bis message take the same position
that he had in his famous silver letter. He
thought there ought to be at least 0,00O
bayonets-not shoulder-straps-in the
army GsTrisons Of from 500 TO 1000
men should bs permanently stationed at
cities like New York, Brooklyn, Chicago,
Cleveland, Omaha, etc. Then there would
be no likelihood of repetition of the terrible
riots which have disgraced the annals oI
these cities in the past

HARD FOR HANNA.
An Impression Prevailing that He

An Impression Prevailing that He
May BE Rejected by the Senate.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec IA writer in
local paper says: 81 understand that
objection will be made in the senate to the
appointment of Bayliss Hanna, who is
now representing this government near the
capital of the Argentine Republic, There
is a hesitation at the state department
about sending in Mr.. Hanna's name, and it
was not to be found in the list of diplo-
matte appointments submitted Thursday,
the only one, 1 believe, that was missing;
but think it will be determined to give Mr..
Hanna's friends chance to work him, if
they can, and Mr.. VOORHEES,, who is always
loyal to his friends, will try to do it. Mr..
Bayard would feel very much relieved if
Mr. Hanna's nomination was rejected, for
I happen to know that he does
not consider the new minister of
the Argentine Republic quite up to
the standard we ought to establish.
He believes that none but typical Ameri-
cans should be sent abroad, men who will
represent the United States socially as well
as officially, and Mr.. Hanna is no Chester
field. The Spanish people are
great sticklers for etiquette, observe all the
forms, follow all the follies of the court
circles of Europe, and criticise man more
severely for blot on his shirt-front than a
stain upon his character. Mr.. Hanna sig
nalized his debut in diplomacy by writing a
letter, familiar sort of an epistle, to a
friend in Indiana, who foolishly gave it to

BAD Outlook for Corn.

LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 14.-The snowfall
of the past week has proven somewhat un-
fortunate for farmers. They were rising
all their energies to gather in large and
excellent crop of corn. The yield promised
about fifty bushels. First came the destroy
ing wind which broke and knocked down
much of the corn ungathered. This was
followed in a few days by fall of several
inches of snow which covered up all grain
on the ground. If the snow remains the
corn cannot be gathered until spring, when
much of it will be injured. The greater
part of the crop has been cribbed and is now
rapidly finding its way into market. The
price has stitfened somewhat and farmers
now realize 21 cents. More of the crop will
be sold than formerly, since thousands oil
hogs have died from scourge and the cornf
cannot be consumed.

CHICAGO, Dec. IA. - William BURY
made application to Judge Moran to-day
for an order on Edward Stokes and ths Of
ficers of the board of Board OF Trade Tele-
graph company to turn over the property
of the company not in the hands of Receiver
Parker to some person to be designated by
the court The chief things desired ara
the books and seal. The motion was Of
fered by J. r. Doolittle, Jr., who stated
that the New York directors were coming
on here Jan. 10, and would then hold a
meeting which would be, under Judge
Moran's decision. legal one, according to
the statute of Illinois. Mr.. Bury
said that he only wanted to
know that the articles were in
the hands of some responsible person,
where all the parties to the controversy
could have look at them. His clients
would rather have the Western Union Tele-
graph company hold them than Edward
Stokes. who, as president of the United
lines, could juggle lease Of the Board of
Trade to them. Judge Moran said the
books and seal should be in the safekeeping
of some disinterested person, and he would
make an order that they be turned over to
Clerk John D. Hail. Mr.. Doolittle secured
a stay of the order until Thursday, that he
might communicate with Col. Ingersou in
Washington.

turbulent and might take the warpath at
any moment. Should they rise they would
undoubtedly have the hearty support of
powerful tribes in the United States. Were
such an alliance made and Indian war be-
gun the Blackfeet and other tribes to the
north would certainly take part, and a
war in comparison with which the recent
troubles are but a drop in a bucket would
have to be waged before the Indians could
be subdued. All the tribes are vowing
vengeance for the hanging Of the Indian

they are prepared to fight the whites to the

deavoring to incite the half-breeds of Mon
tana to assist their Canadian compatriots.

An Uneventful Day in Both Houses
"A Memorial From Dakota.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-On the assem-
bling of the senate to-day joint resolution
of the congressional legislature was pre-
sented asking speedy provision for the
presidential count, and Mr.. Platt spoke in
favor Of the memorial. Mr.. Hoar thought
congressional members in the house had
been responsible for the defeat of the bill
already introduced, the senate by passing
the bill three times had done everything
possible. A memorial was also presented
from the state executive appointed by a
constitutional convention of the territory of
Dakota, praying for the admission of South
ern Dakota as state of the union and
transmitting a draft of constitution for the
approval of congress. Mr.. Harrison said he
only awaited the receipt of this memorial in
order to introduce bill providing for the
admission of the territory named, and that
he would introduce such bill at an early
opportunity.
Senator Hoar reported the bill introduced
last session providing for the
PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION
and he gave notice he would call it up to-
morrow. Mr.. EdmundS requested that he
delay one day that his bill providing for
for counting the presidential votes, might be
added as an amendment. to which Mr. Hoar
agreed.
A resolution offered by Mr.. Morgan was
agreed to, asking for the report of an actual
survey of line for ship railway across
the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.
Mr.. Sewell having resigned MIR. Logan
was appointed chairman in his place of the
military affairs committee.
ONIr Hoar from the committee on judi
clary reported favorably the bill fixing the
salary of United States district judges at

executive session and at 2:20 the doors were
reopened and message was received from
the president transmitting the Kelley cor
respondence recently called for by Mr..

and to lie on the table. The senate then

ant objected to giving of any evidence, on
the ground that the indictment did not al
lege that he was male person nor that
the cohabitation was with the women as
wives. The objection was overruled and
verdict of guilty was returned and the de-
fendant sentenced to pay a fine of $500 and
to be imprisoned for six months, and to be
further imprisoned TILL the payment of the
fine. Justice Miller dissented from the
opinion of the court. Justice Blatchford,
in delivering the opinion, said that the law
forbade cohabiting with more than one
woman, and that if the plaintiff lived i'll the
house of his wives one-third of his time or
eat at their table or gave it out that these
women were his wives he was guilty of CO.
habiting with them, without prying further
into their relations.
