from those states have yet put in an appear
aucc. Mr.. Villas is the target for most Of the
letter writers, and his mail is crowded daily
with appeals for postofiices with incidental
applications for other places. At Racine,
where the office Of postmaster expires

cauts, the most prominent being H.

Bringing the Old Man to Terms.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March IA sensation
was created at Bowling Green, KY, by
Charles Moore entering the house of his
father, DR.. j. r. Moore, one of the best
known and wealthiest citizens in the state,
and demanding that the aged parent sign
notes to the amount of S6,110, which he re-
fused to do. The boy then seized his father
by the throat and choked him severely. Re-
leasing his hold upon the old gentleman's
throat, he brought forth two revolvers, which
induced the father to come to terms and sign
the documents. AS soon as he could recover
he had his son arrested. Young Moore is in
the government employ at Evansville, Ind.
His father is in very feeble condition and
refuses 10 prosecute the son.

LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT.
Office-Seekers Not in the Best Humor Over
the Way Things are Moving.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March IL There was an
other general disappointment about the SEN
ate to-day when the nominations reached
that body. Instead of long list there were
only three names sent in and numerous eX-
pectants expressed their dissatisfaction at the
dilatoriness of the administration in terms
more emphatic than complimentary. After
the hungry office-seekers have gone home
and their lengthy petitions have
been buried in oblivion the places
that ale 10 be filed will
be carefully gone over and the best men that
can be found among those who have not
rushed at the president on his first appear
ance will be selected, not because they want
the Office but because Of their qualifications.
1t is not thought that long petitions are going
to do any good, as many members of con-
gress who sign them would not do so il they
expected any result to follow. The greatest
fear among the members of congress is lest
Cleveland pays too much respect to the ten
ure of office act They say they are waiting
to see whether the Republican post
masters and revenue and customs collectors
are to be allowed to retain their
hold until the expiration Of their respective
terms. II Cleveland allows this, they say
there will be little short of revolution as TO
the lower department places. They expect
the civil service law 10 be enforced, and will
make no fuss about il. There is some doubt
as to how the senate would act If new ap-
pointments were made in the place of Re
publicans whose terms have not yet expired,
and this is an additional source of uneasi-
L
the outset, it is understood that the presi-
dent Will await until that body has adjourned
before attempting to make any of these ap-
poiutneuts

All Passenger Trains Running.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 11.-An Wa,
bash trains and Missouri Pacific passenger
trains from this point are now running as
usual. The only work permitted in the Mis-
souri, Pacific yard is the switching of few
freight cars that the strikers are allowing to
be moved to accommodate shippers. An
agent of a connecting line stated to reporter
this evening that he was informed to-day
by representative of the Missouri Pacific
that the freight blockade of that road would
be removed tomorrow. This report, IL au-
thentic, is understood to mean that the rail-
road officials expect either to effect a compro-
mise tomorrow or force the issue and under
take to operate the freight trains despite the
opposition of the strikers. A small reserve
police force was kept on duty to-day,
but there has been no oc-
casion for their services. One local
military company Of forty men, is also held
in readiness in case of emergency. 1t is re-
ported the Missouri Pacific pay car will arrive
here tomorrow, though not yet due for three
dayS.

Mark Hopkins, st. Clair millionaire, applied
fora divorce in the Sixth circuit court this

money belonging to relative, which he
never paid back. The money was soon
spent but in 1874 Mark inherited SO, 900, 900,
mostly cash, from an uncle and began living
in style at st. Clair. His wife claims all she
has is $50 which Mark gave her to leave the
hOuge.

Quiet and Orderly.

MARSHALL, Tex, March 11.-An attempt
was made to-day by Detective Furlong, as
sisted by the civil authorities, to take out
freight train. AS the engine was about to
leave the yard the strikers quietly assembled,
requested the engineer to get down and out,
which he did. The engine was taken back
to the roundhouse and the fires drawn.
This evening the county attorney tele-
graphed Gov. Ireland: ''The strikers here
are quiet, peaceable, sober citizens. They
are not making any demonstrations to in
jure persons or the property of the railway"
Long View special says the situation is
unchanged. The strikers to-day refused to
permit the Texas Pacific engine to transfer
freight to the Galveston, Sabine & st. Louis
railroad. Dispatches from other points
show the situation practically unchanged.

The Victoria Incident Discredited.

BERLIN, March 1.-The North German
Gazette SAYS there is no news at Berlin con-
cerning the Victoria Incident. The report
is discredted in official circles, as it is doubted
that any German officer would be
so indiscreet as to commit an act of
that character. 1t is thought more
likely to be manoeuver OF the Polish traveller
Rogozinski to promote an ill-feeling between
Germany and England. The Gazette re-
marks that England has hitherto ignored and
will probably continue to ignore the acquisi-
tions of Rogozinski, whose motive is purely
to limit German anneXations.

A Ne,r Manitobn Line.

How William Presley, member of the Ca
madam parliament, is in the city on his way
to Manitoba and other parts of the Northwest.
His trip is business one, as he is to look
over the Seuris river territory with the view
of building line of railroad from the Cana
dian Pacific line down to point on the
boundary line near the Turtle
mountains. Mr.. Presley says that
that part of the territory is developing
rapidly as wheat country, and the farmers
have no means other than oxen to get their
grain from the farms, haul of from 100 to
125 miles. Some time ago James j. Hill of
the Manitoba road made proposition to the
settlers in that vicinity to build
road in Manitoba and extend
branch of the Manitoba road
to connect with the Canadian road at the
Turtle mountains. Some trouble arose with
the Canadian government, or the scheme
would, doubtless, have been carried out. AS
it is now, the settlers are clamoring for
line, and probably before the season ends
work will be well under way.

No Change at Sedalia.

SEDALIA, Mo-, March IL There is little
change in the situation. If anything the
strike is stronger than yesterday. No freight
trains were moved to-day. No
violence was used to prevent it, but when an
engineer would step on locomotive party
of strikers would request the engineer to
take the engine back to the round house,
which he would do. This was tried several
times with different men and with the same
result The railroad company, through
Supt Hagar, notified the city authorities that
If any damage was done the company's
property, the city would be held responsible.
The committee of citizens, who visited the
governor to-day, report nothing new. The
governor maintains the law must be upheld.
If no violence is used by the strikers he does
not intend to interfere with the militia At
evening the militia was still at Centertown
awaiting orders.
