An A. o. U. w. Decision.

DEs MONIES, Dec. ia long pending
dispute between the two branches of the
order of United Workmen has been decided
by the supreme court of the state. The Or
der in Iowa divided on the question of pay
ing death losses outside of the state The
objecting workmen organized a grand lodge
known as the state grand lodge, while the
other side retained allegiance to the su-
preme lodge. Each side claimed the name
of A. D. U. w. franchises of the order in
Iowa. Suit was brought by the supreme
lodge of affilation to compel the state grand
lodge to surrender the name and property
and cease exercising the function of the
order. This was heard before Judge Utt
at Waterloo, who decided in favor of the
supreme lodge. The defense appealed to
supreme court, where Judge Utt's decision
was set aside and judgment rendered in
favor of the state grand lodge. Counsel
for the supreme grand lodge then filed a
motion for a rehearing which the court
has refused, holding, as heretofore, that the
order is an insurance organization and not
a fraternity: that the supreme lodge is citi-
zen of Kentucky and must make the neces-
sary deposit with the state auditor if it does
business in Iowa. and that the state lodge
is entitled to the name of workingmen in
the state.

Settlers Needlessly Alarmed.

WASHINGTON. Dec 19.-Mr. Payson Of
Illinois says that the settlers out West are
needlessly alarmed on account Of the recent
decision by the supreme court. that technic-
ally the titles Of the railroad lands which
have been sold by the railroad companies to
settlers, but have not vet been patented, still
rest in the United States. The decision has
been construed to mean that the settlers who
have So purchased have no valid title to
their lands, and may be deprived of them
at any time. This is not the case. The
title that the government holds to the lands
by this decision is that the lands are to be
held to secure the cost of the survey and
may be acquired at any time by the settlers
by the paying for the survey OF their lands.
The railroad companies will then have to
make good the cost to them. The court sug-
gested that bill might be passed by con-
gress forfeiting the lands not patented
within time stated after the passage of
act. Mr.. PaysOn is going to introduce it in
the house. The bill which was offered by
him last year was passed, but failed in the
senate through amendments. This bill pro-
vides for the forfeiture of all lands upon
which the cost of survey has not been paid
within sixty days after the holders have re-
ceyed notice,

Gors Defends Himself.

New YORK, Dec. 19.-C. H. Golf, ex-
manager of the Canada Agricultural Insur-
ance company. referred to in dispatch
from Montreal last night as having left there
in 1868, owing a large amount of money,
and as being now in New York, was inter
viewed to-day in regard to the charges
against him. He said that under the ad-
vice of his counsel he was only at liberty to
say that he had known for some time of
the plans on foot in Montreal against him.
That there had been in New York for some
time several Canadian gentlemen to be
seeking his eXtradition, but who were really
seeking to eXtort money from him by
threats; that the charges against him in
Montreal were not only absolutely false.
but about eight years old, and were the out
growth of a political quarrel in which he
had been largely instrumental in overturn-
ing and disgracing certain corrupt officials.
Two OF three Canadian attorneys who have
been here negotiating with Golf. have re-
turned to Montreal. They profess to be
preparing to receive Goff's extradition.

JUDD TO BE CONFIRMED.
Logan Will probably Make No Op'
position to Him.


position to Him.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Whatever may
have been Gen. L3gan's intentions in the
matter few weeks ago, there is good rea-
son to believe that he has at present no in
tention of opposing the confirmation of
Postmaster Judd. Even if he opposed him
it is doubtful if he could succeed in defeat
ing him, for nobody pretends that he is as
offensive partisan as Mr.. Palmer was,
and there are several Republican senators
who will not aid in defeating any nomina-
ton that is intrinsically unobjectionable. If
Gen. Logan does not oppose Mr.. Judd no
body else will, and even if he induced most
of the Republicans to vote against him,
enough would vote for confirmation, on the
ground that there was no reason for pursu-
ing an opposite course to
ENABLE THE DEMOCRATS
to confirm him. Whatever efforts Republi-
can senators are willing to make for the
purpose Of creating party capital out of the
presidents reasons for removals, few of the
representative senators are ready to engage
in direct conflict with the president. Mr.
Judd called on the president to-day for the
purpose of paying his respects. He also
visited the postoffice department, but Mr..
Villas was slightly indisposed and did not
go to the Office. Mr.. Judd will ask the de-
partment for numerous additional carriers,
clerks and mail collectors. He also contem-
plates remodeling Of the interior Of the

WILLIAM E. GLADSTONE.
OTHER VIEWS.

In response to a request for his opinion
of the nome rule proposals, the Earl of
Derby, who was member of Mr.. Glad
stones cabinet. writes that the original
plan for the establishment of home rule in
Ireland has been materially modified by
subsequent statements and that it is there
fore impossible for him to express an opin-
ion on the subject. Right. Hon. William
E. Forster, formerly secretary for Ireland,
writes:
We may not be allowed to see the scheme,
but until it is made public | cannot give an
opinion on an unauthorized statement of Mr..
Gladstone's views, which Mr.. Gladstone him.
self has denied since its pubhcat0h. I. my
self, am too i'll to enter into a discussion on
the Irish question.
Right Hon. James Lowther, who was
succeeded by Mr.. Forster as secretary fol
Ireland. says:
I think it better to defer expressing an
opinion on the astounding scheme attributed
to Mr.. Gladstone until definite and authentic
evidence has been produced relative to his
authorship.
Mr.. John Richmond, in an interview,
said:
Supposirg the description of it to be accu.
rate, the scheme was fairly satisfactory, and
afforded basis of settlement by mutual con.
cesSions. He could not say more before con.
sulting the leaders of his party.

The Singer Excitement.

ELIZABETH, N. j., Dec. 19.-Comp-
troller Carlton to-day completed the
levy upon the Singer Sewing Machine COM
pany by attaching the steamboat Edward
Clark. The whole city is excited by the
closing of the factory. At meeting at
tended by about 1000 of the employees to-
night, resolutions were adopted denouncing
the comptroller's action as hasty and in
judieious, and asking the city to make the
company preferred creditor, as its claims
are for cash loans. Several of the city
officials addressed the meeting, promising
if practicable to approve of lifting the levy
from the property of the company. A
special meeting of the city council to con-
slider the matter is called for Monday

MRS. yYALKUP,s CHARACTER.
Testimony Verv PrejudiciaI to 1t by
Two ElMpOria Young Men.

Two EMporia Young Men.
EMpoRIA, Kan, Dec. 19.-The facts sur.
rounding the death of J. Walkup of this
city and the subsequent trial of his young
widow on the charge of poisoning him are
still fresh in the minds of the public. I'm
mediately after the trial Mrs Walkup went
to New Orleans. where she has resided ever
since. At the time of Walkup'S death he
was member of the A. o. U. W., and as
such held beneficiary certificate E. NJ.
Ford as attorney for the grand lodge of Kan
sas instituted suits in the district court
this county against the widow and the
children of Mr.. Walkup to determine theil
respective interests. The amount involved.
So, coo, was paid into the court to await the
result of the action. 1t appears that the
widow claims to be enciente with the post
humous child of MI. Walkup. This would
possibly compel an additional division on
account of the production of another heir.
The janitor of the jail, Edward Gutten-
kunst, young man of about IS, wrote a
letter to Mrs. Walkup in New Orleans, re-
gueSting her to send him sum of money.
! This letter she sent to Mr.. Jay. Mr.. Jay,
thinking it was an attempt at blackmail,
called upon Sheriff White and
REQUESTED AN EXPLANATION.
Young Guttenkunst was called upon, and
on being questioned plainly stated that an
intimacy had existed between Mrs. Walkup
and himself, and that Oscar Wilhite, the
sheriff's son, was also implicated The at
torney for the A. o. U. W. ascertaining
these facts, took the deposition of Gutten-
kunst and young White before the clerk of
the district court. Guttenkunst testified
that he had frequently been in Mrs.
Walkup's room while she was in the Jail,
and on two occasions had been intimate with
her. at the suggestion of young Wilhite and
by her invitation. Oscar Wilhite, the son
of the sheriff too, testified that he had also
been intimate with her on two occasions,
the first being on Saturday, Oct. 8, and the
second Oh Sunday, Oct. 4, and that she had
used improper language and exposed her
person to him before he made the attempt.
The boys slept in the jury room in the court
house. The room was across the hall from
that occupied by Mrs. Walkup, which made
access to her an easy matter. Young
Guttenkunst claims that the money he re.
quested her to lend him was for money the
boys had let her have during the time she
was in the Jail.
