POLITICAL NOTES.

Both Oregon and Illinois are having a pro-
tracted siege in the effort to choose a United
States senator.
Representative Willard, of the civil service
reform committee, has submitted minority
report signed by the republican members of
the committee in favor of Representative
Taylors bill to prohibit the discharge of hon.
orably-discharged soldiers or sailors or de
pendent relatives from any Office of the civil
service of the United States except for cause.
Cleveland, it is understood, is at work on his
inaugural address and will devote his time to
it exclusively till finished. 1t is the impress
sion of leading democrats in Albany acauaint-
ed with Cleveland and Manning that while the
latter has not been formally rendered the ap-
pointment of secretary of the treasury, at the
present moment there is little doubt his name
will be found in the list March for the treas
ury portfolio.
Washington special says that men persof
the diplomatic corps are resignin. yfaiIy
Taft of Austria, Aston of Italy, and hg of
China, have already rendered thu resigna-
tons, and intimations have been siyed at
the state department that the resig,Ations of
most of the others have already been for
warded. AS Mr.. Pendleton's senatorial term
expires March 4, it seems to be generally he
lieved that he will be selected to represent the
government at either the English or French
courts, in the event of his not being selected
for a cabinet position.

THE ASYLUM HORROR.

A Philadelphia dispatch says of the fire in

Several human bodies can be seen in the

third floor and could not be reached. There
seems no doubt they are lost and the remains
are among the ruins. During the night many
insane persons were found wandering in Diff
ferent parts of the city, some nearly naked.
The poor creatures generally seemed unable
to understand the situation, and in some
cases begged their captors piteousy not to
throw them into the river. The others took

in a street car by running in half-clad with

streets were full of escaped lunatics caused
much alarm in West Philadelphia, and strang

MOVING AGAINST MIR. TELLER.
He is Charged by Senator Hm tcith an A

He is Charged by Senator Fal tcitb an 1T
tempt to Suppress Important Papers.
Washington dispatch: Several days ago
Senator Hill addressed letter to Secretary
Teller asking him how soon copies of the re-
ports of the land agents who Investigated the
charges of fraud against the land entries In
the territory of New Mexico would be ready
to be sent up to the senate, in reply to the sem
ate resolution calling for these documents.
Senator Hill received a reply Monday. The
letter is very evasive. 1t says that the docu-
ments are very yoluminous and that some
time will be required to prepare copies. The
secretary is unable to state just when these
copies will be ready. Senator Hill CONSTITUTES
this reply to mean that the secretary does not
intend 10 comply with the resolution. eYill
probably delay sending up the papers until
the close of the session, and trust 10 the ex-
element of the change of adminstl alton to
prevent the matter ever being thought OF
again. 1t is not unlikely that the documents
themselves may be destroyed. This is not 80
well known that the secretary will not be able
to protect himself. After the Attn the agents
themselves will be free from his dictation,
and will be able to reproduce without difficult
ty the practical results of their investigation.
If the story told in connection with them is
true. it will possibly afford material for some
one to move the expulsion of Mr. Teller from
the senate. His deliberate suppression of the
papers showing these frauds and calling for
the criminal prosecution of his friends cannot
be defended.

RELIGION rs. ROLLER SKATES.

A Question that Promises Attention at the
Hands of the Mehtodists.
The somewhat agitating question at the
Methodist Book Concern in New York, which
is the Headquarters of the Methodist bishops
of the United States, Is whether or not 10 con-
denim roller skating in Kinks. Every mail,
says dispatch. brings letters from pastors
who ask for advice as to what attitude they
ought to assume toward the all-absorbing
sport. Many of them say that their efforts to
start revivals this winter have been COM
,pletely frustrated by the skating craze. which
draws the young people away from the SER
vices in church to the pastime in the rink.
Reports from the professional reviy alists are
to the same purport. They are unable to
command the success of former years in con-
sequence of the distraction. Harrison, the
boy Preacher" fmplores the bishops to issue
a manifestion the point as to whether this
sort of skating is not essentially the same in
character as the dancing which MethOdism
positively prohibits in public assemblages.
The Widow VanCott is emphatic in denounc-
ing the amusement as wicked, and the tenden-
terror. But pastors generally hesitate, with
out the authority of the b shops to take
stand in the matter. Thus far the bishops
have confined their replies to private and I'M
official advice.
Inquiry among the leading manufacturers
of roller skates, so far as they are represented
by agencies for the wholesale trade In New
York. elicits the news that the religious oppo-
sition will be combatted to some extent.
Some of these firms are owners of patents,
and the rivalry between them is rather bitter,
but they have so far combined as to order for
distribution great quantities of tract which
is being prepared in their interest. The opin-
ions of number of medical. gymnastic and
geological experts will be given to prove that,
unless INDUCED in to excess, roller skating Is
in every way beneficial. These tracts will be
sent free to all the Kinks in the land for distri
butiOn

NEWS OF NEBRASKA.

SrMMERMAN's sENTENcE,-A Lincoln special
70 the Omaha Herald says: L. C. Burr, attor-
ney for Matt Simmerman, returned this morn.
Ing from Washington, d. c., where he went
about two weeks ago to apply for writ of
error In the Simmerman case. He addressed
the court on the 10th and on the 18th was
allowed the writ. The case occupies place
on the calendar which will not be reached
probably In less than four years, so that SIM
long at least.
The ground on which the writ was applied
Tor was that the attempted arrest of Simmer
man was in violation Of the lth, 9th and 18th
articles of the federal constitution, which
provides that no citizen shall be deprived of
LIE, liberty or proper ty without due process
OF law. Jack Woods, who was killed in at.
tempting to arrest Simmerman. was sheriff
OF Hitchcock county. He had no warrant for
Stmmermau's arrest and was accordingly
nothing more than private citizen in Kear-
ney county, where the fatal attempt at arrest
was made. Simmerman is now in Jail at
Kearney.

On the 18th they had second battle, and

The London Standard publishes dispatch

a messenger who had just arrived at Korti
declares Khartoum has not been taken by
the Mahdi. The messenger asserts he left
Khartoum six days after Colonel Charles Will

from Gubat, and that when the messenger
left General Gordon still held Khartoum. The
government officials do not believe the mes
senger's story, and state that no official in

Another dispatch from Korti states the mes
sengers who arrived there from Khartoum
profess ignorance regarding the fall of Khar.

Robert Wright, who killed his father at

at them, instantly killing Mason and fatally
wounding his wife. He then went to the

The Iron. JaWed Woman,

ALBANY, N. Y, July 1.-Lotte Watson,
the woman with the iron jaw with Van
Amburgh's circus, met with an accident
yesterday afternoon that will cause her
retirement from the ring. To exhibit her
great Strength of jaw, she has been in the
habit of holding suspended from her mouth
o cannon which is discharged while in
midair. The daring of the performances is
increased by the fact that the woman is
hoisted from the ground and hangs head
downward during the feat. Yesterday af-
ternoon she was assisted by the Freeman
and Rice Brothers, athletes, who superip-
tended the apparatus, and had raised her
to the proper height for firing the cannod,
when one of the pulley ropes suddenly
broke. The heavy piece of ordnance and
Mile. Watson were precipitated to the
ground q distance of about six feet. She
struck the cannon, head first, with terrific
force, and was picked up unconscious. For
time the widest excitement pre-
vailed in the audience, but it quickly sub
sided as the injured woman was removed,
and the show went on according to pro-
gramme. When taken to the hospital she
was found to be seriously injured. Her
forehead was crushed in, the wound TAX
ing the form of star, her mouth was cut
and two teeth knocked out, the right hand
was badly bruised, and some internal in
juries were received about the stomach.
She will probably be confined to the hos
pital for some time.

HORRIBLE FIND.
Evidence of the Murder of Two Children
by Gypsies.

MARSHALL, ILL.,, June 80.-Evidences of
what may prove to be a peculiarly horrible
double tragedy were discovered yes
terday in Wabash Township, this county.
Several weeks ago a telegram to a St.
Louis paper from Effingham gave an
account of supposed kidnap-
ping of two little school children
by gypsies. Afterward band of gypsies
camped two miles east Of here for three
nights. The first evening Officer Willard
Hedrick passed the camp, and as he went
by q child ran toward him, crying and
reckoning, but was pursued and over.
taken by an. old bag Hedrick thought
nothing of the matter, but since
then some children named DAY.
idson, crossing high hill, the To-
cation of the gypsy camp, saw a hole in the
ground near which some hogs were roofing,
and from which came a sickening stencil.
Sheriff Tarr and Deputy went in to in
vestigate, and dug down three feet into a
grave four feet long by two and one-half
feet wide. They turned up mass of
worms and bits of cloth. While, the men
were busily digging at the hole gypsy man
suddenly came over the hill and stopped,
looking startled. After asking a few ques-
tions he turned rapidly and disappeared.
Many other circumstances, slight in them
selves, tend to confirm the theory that the
two children met their death in the gypsy
camp; that the poor innocents were buried,
and being covered very lightly, the hogs,
of which their were thirty or forty in the
field, were attracted by the stencil and de-
youred them,
