The Other Candidates.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 81. IT. N. Ziebach,
the candidate for governor of Dakota, ar
rived here to-day aud is much elated touch
ing his prospects. He is backed by the terri
torial Democratic committee and by the
Dakota member of the national Democratic
committee. Ex-Congressman Caulield OF
Chicago, another candidate, is on the ground.
He has behind him ongressional influence
and the Endorsement on his papers of Sec
retary Lamar Ziebach is accompanied by
Burt Taylor of the Dakota Herald. Capt.
Marratta of Bismarck is also a candidate, but
being interested in Missouri river navigation
left here two weeks ago to look after his in
terest in that line, but is expected back here
every day. 1t is also understood that
Gov. Pierce has agreed to resign
in order to let Ordway have a Dem
ocratic candidate for the same place,
but the name is not given. There seems to
be the usual quarrelng among Dakota men
for all the important appointments, and in
the present state of uncertainty as to the
preside tial policy of appointments the pros
pect is not promising for any Of these aspir-
ants. John LAWYER of Mitchell fled an appli-
cation before leaving here for the appoint
ment of register of the land office at Mitchell.
Day, the national committee man, is on the
ground begging Lamar to remove Sessinger,
who was recently appointed and who it is
claimed is an Idaho and not Dakota man.
Maj Rowley is an applicant for the receiver
ship at Mitchell.

Betrayed by His Mistress.

SpeClal 10 tue GiOOe.
CHICAGO, March 27.-Joseph L. Smith,
well-dressed and intelligent appearing man
of 33, was arrested yesterday at the instance
of w. A. Fitzgerald, superintendent of the
Chicago Watch Case company, charged with
larceny. It appears that Smith, who has
been employed three years by the Watch
Case company as a refner, has been con-
tinually robbing his employers. His steal
ings, Mr.. Fitzgerald thinks, viii amount to
800. Having vast quantity of raw gold
to handle, he has daily stolen small nuggets
and small amounts of gold clippings, scrap
iugs, etc. Smith would not have been
detected in his crookedness but for the
jealousy of woman. The culprit's wife died
about twelve days ago, aud he took her re-
mains to Providence to be inferred Re-
turning to Chicago three days ago he took up
with disreputable female and installed her
in the house in which his wife had died.
This caused the jealousy of another woman,
with whom he had been intimate. and In her
rage she notified the superintendent of the
Watch company that Smith was presenting
his female friends with his stealings from
the firm. His case will be tried next Mon
dav.

In Trance for Twenty Eight Days.
Special to the Globe.

NORTH HOPE, Pa, March GA little
daughter of Joseph Renver was taken Ill
several weeks ago with collie and went into a
trance, being to all appearances dead. The
heart ceased TO beat. The pulse was extinct
and respiration cedsed- In this condition
the body was two days and then the family
began discussing the funeral. After every
thing had been settled the child showed un-
mistakable signs OF life. The doctor was
again called and restoratives were applied.
Although respiration returned and the action
of the heart began consciousness did not
return, and all efforts TO restore the child
were fruitless. She remained in this state
for twepty-six days. On the evening of
the twenty-sixth day she opened her eyes
aud feebly asked for a drink of
water From that time on she rapidly
gained strength, and is now able to go about.
From the time she took sick until the day
she gained consciousness tventy-eight days
passed, and during that time she partook of
no food Whenever al attempt was made
to open her mouth the muscles controlling
her jaws became rigid and her mouth could
not be opened.

Lord Granville States the Situation

LONDON, March 27.-In the house of lords
quis of Salisbury, said there was nothing in
dicating tendency to finch on the part Of

to the policy agreed upon by both the great
political parties. which, at the same time,
were awaiting themselves of every means to
arrive at satisfactory solution of the diff
Guilty. He was unable to fix q date when

Received With Enthusiasm

LONDON, March %. The queens mes
sage yesterday calling out the reserves and
militia for permanent service has been
received by the country with great enthusi-
asm. The enthusiasm was especially marked
at various military stations throughout the
kingdom. Everywhere active efforts are be-
ing exerted to get the barracks ready for the
reserves and have the arms and accoutre-
ments at hand to equip them. Immense
stores of arms are at the tower ready to be
distributed when required. The war feeling
is strong among the reserves and many had
already joined the guards before the orders
summoning them to service were received.
The queen will start for Aix-Les-Bains
Monday.

Mexican Holy Week Festivities.


CITY OF MEXICO via GALVESTON, March %.
The secretary of the interior has issued a
circular that the reform laws must be strictly
observed the incoming holy week. At this
period it is the custom in many villages near
Mexico and in other parts of the republic to
have religious professions in the streets car
rying the post and representing often the
passions of Christ. These spectacles while
imposing to the Indians are viewed as OBJ
jects of amusement and rldicule by the edu-
Gated class and also in direct opposition to the
reform laws, which prohibit religious process
sions outside of churches. This morning
the annual feast, called Passed De Flores,
was celebrated on the Viga canal and was
participated in by all from the lowest to the
highest classes. The canal was crowded
with boats loaded with flowers and a wide
avenue parallel was filled with horsemen and
carriages containing gaily dressed people.

WASHINGTON, March 81. 1t is the fate OF
an Office seeker who hangs about Washington
long to get in with the hotel loafers and hang
about the barrooms and Hobbies until he is
good for nothing This has been the case in
former years, and some of the rednosed relics
of eight years ago are still hanging on as
dismal warning to prevent a repetition of
those experiences.
MEMBERS ARE DRIVING
their friends home as fast as they can under
the pain of desertion if they remain. Most
of the pustoffice appointments that have been
made are men who have remained at home
or who have been driven there by their MEM
bers.
Several who were here trying to take care
of their cases were told point blank if they
did not go home at once nothing would be
done for them. Comparatively few applica-
tions have been received at the department.
Some ten or twelve thousand papers have
been received and filed at the department
during the past three weeks. but these in
clude cases where there is more than
one applicant for the same office and also
papers protesting
AGAlNST ANY CHANGE.
1t is estimated by competent authorities
that applications for about three thousand
five hundred offices have been received so
far, and there are over fifty thousand in the
country. In the case of some of the
states not a single application for
a postoffice has been received.
The citizens of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Colo
RADIO, Nebraska and California, have so far
been exceedingly modest in expressing their
wishes in regard to postoffices. This delay
may be explained in part by the policy
adopted by the party in some states Of having
list of applicants for Office sent to the CEN
trail state committee and have contests de-
termined by that body, and then when the
list is decided upon to be sent to the presi-
dent. If, however, the president adheres
to this policy which he has announced, that
changes will be made only as the commits
sions expire, that will run through the term
of the administration and before its close
EVERY PosToFFICE
in the country will be in charge of Demo
crat. AS soon as the senate adjourns. how
ever, those who are anxious for changes at
once expect to meet with some encourage
ment from the president. At any rate,
whatever is done.in regard to presidential
offices, it lie the intention to make very de-
cided effort to have the fourth-class post
masters changed. There are offices paying
less than $1,000 year, and the commits
sions of the postmaster are not limited, but
the incumbents may be dismissed at any
time at the pleasure of the president. These
constitute tue large proportion of postofiices
in the country.

all this talk about civil service
reform and retention of political
opponents had led these Republican officials
to assume that they could stay in office. Ex-
cept in very few cases none of them come
home to electioneer. Their claims to re-
main, therefore, are greatly better than the
mass of Republican officials in the United
States, nearly every one of whom has used
the influence of his Office and the public time
to further political ends. If any foreign
ministers are removed the question will at
once be brought to a political test whether
the Republicans will vote to confirm a nom
inee in place ofan official removed without
any charges of misconduct. The policy of
these Republican senators, in which case
remains to be developed, probably cannot be
known in advance of caucus by them to
determine on some general policy.
