Mexico,s Political Trouble.

VILLA GARCIA, Mex, Dec. 2.-There
is little change in the situation here to-day.
The revolutionary party, under Manuel
Rodriguez, pulled up stakes here at noon
to-day and marched toward Monterey, not
being able to catch up with Gov. Sepul-
veda, who is supposed to be under cover of
ranchero called Santa Rosa. near the
boundary line Of the states Of Neuvo Leon
and Coahuila, where he is safe for the
present. Gen. Reyes will be sustained by
the president, and the federal government
will appoint military governor over the
state of Neuvo Leon, without doubt.
The present administration are doing their
utmost to establish government, and it is
thought that this will be accomplished
when the last one of Gonzales regime shall
have been wiped out. The people are
almost unanimous in support of this meas
ure, and more intelligent executive will
henceforth take the reins of power.

THE PACIFIC RAILWAY K1CKERs

We are informed that the Pacific railroad
companies are kicking against the stringent
rules laid down by Railroad Commissioner
JOHNSTON. 1t was expected that they
would kick against it, but that is no argyll
ment in favor of relaxing the rules. The
railway companies have had control of the
reinS and have been pulling the government
around by the nose as though it belonged
To them so long that it is natural to eX-
peet that they should feel restive under the
restraint that the new commissioners are
Subiecting them to. Kicking on their part
will do no good. They may just as well
understand the situation at once and begin
to adjust themselves to the new order of
things which has arisen under the present
administration. The time has come when
the people of the United States are deter
mined to assert their supremacy, and the
sooner the corporations realize this fact the
better it will be all around. There will be
no disposition On the part of the present
administration to Oppress the railway COM
panies 1t is only disposed to do what is
fair to the railroads and what is absolutely
essential to the protection of tie
people and their interests If the

NEW yoRK,S SENSATION.

New York society is good deal torn up
because the young man who is known as
the ''King of the Dudes, and who is So
ciety leader in the metropolis, was cow
hided on the streets by burly Jerseyman
whose pretty wife had been insulted by the
society prince. The lady was passing up
Broadway when she was followed by the
royal dude, who attempted to attract her
attention by repeatedly tipping his hat and
smiling upon her. She returned to the
hotel and informed her husband, fine spec
linen of Jersey manhood. who Immediately
started out to find the masher. The wife
was sent little in advance to bait the dude

Local Passenger Situation.

Ticket agents and scalpers are speculat-
ing largely on what will be the outcome Of
the Minnesota & Northwestern's refusal to
sign the passenger agreement. Some are
inclined to believe that within week rates
will be in an utterly demoralized condition.
The scalpers are feeling anxious over the
situation, as continuance of the low-rate
era will bring their profits to a minimum.
Scalper Gitt. who has worked up good
business of late, expresses determination,
if rates are not soon restored, of selling what
Chicago tickets he has Oh hand for 81. and
thereby precipitate a rate war. He thinks
that good blowout is all that is wanted to
put rates at tariff again. This is the opin-
ion of many others. Ticket agents of the
railway companies are divided in their
opinions as to which is the ruling spirit at
present. They do not know whether the
scalpers are running the railroads or the
railroads the scalpers. 1t is conundrum.
St. Paul daily globe., 1885-12-03

and the ruse succeeded. Just as
the young man stopped to speak to the
lady, all the time congratulating himself on
account of the triumph of his charms, he
fell beneath the well-directed blows of an
indignant husband and got such drubbing
as to take all the starch out of him during
the remainder of his natural life. Rumor
has it that the outraged society swells OF
the Empire city have invited Col. Tom
OcHILTREE to act the part of avenger,
and that that sun-hued son of Texas will
challenge the Jerseyman to mortal COM
bat. The New York people ought to
build monument to the Jersey hero and
set it up close by the statue of Liberty En-
tightening the World. The man who
smashes the street masher is a public bene-
factor.

A Gentle November--Does 1t Mean a
Mild Winterl
p. F. Lyons, signal officer, has sub
mitted the following monthly weather state
ment of the mean temperature and total
precipitation for the autumn seasons from
1871 up to now:
In the meteorological conditions at St.
Paul during last month there was nota-
BILE absence of extremes in temperature,
pressure and wind movement, more eSpe-
clally OF temperature, which was remarka-
bly, equable, with a maximum of 527o and
minimum of 17.2o. There is range Of
$3.50 only. This is perhaps the least No
vember range ever had in this locality. 1t
is 12o less than the least range recorded
heretofore. November, 1873 is the only
month on record that had maximum tenn
perature below that of last month, but last
months minimum is the highest on record
by 2.2o. The November average temper
ature for the last fifteen years is $50, the
mean of last month was $3.50, or $50
more than the average. The month in
question was decidedly colder than the cor
responding one of 1878, slightly colder than
that OF 1882 and decidedly warmer than the
rest from 1870 up to now.
PRECIPITATION.
The total rainfall, including melted snow,
was the lowest on record, it being 0.60 of
an inch; the average November precipita-
ton is 1.2S inches. The total wind move
ment was 4,O30 miles, the lowest on record
and about one-third below the average. The
prevailing winds were light to fresh, and
blew from the west, calms were frequent
there were no gales, the highest wind was
at the rate of twenty-four miles an hour, on
the 9th. All that is of further importance
will be found in the following tables:

DETROIT. Mich. Dec. 2:-Internal Rev
enue Collector John B. Malony of this city,
to-day laid before the district attorney the
particulars of the seizure of another illicit
distillery fonr miles from Al
mont. In lonely and dismal
wood the officers found still house. 1t
looked like square, one-story block house.
Just inside the door and stretching across
the building was partition, which formed
a sort of ante-room. On opening the
inner door room about 10X4
feet was disclosed. This contained a
liquor still complete, including keales,
worm-pipes, etc. The machinery
was almost new. About twenty
gallons of fine liquor were found.
An ingenious scheme was found for
concealing the steam which escaped during
the operation of the drill. The steam pipe
led to the foot of the outside wall. Here
brush-heap was carefully arranged. This
was filled and covered over with leaves.
As tie steam came from the still
it would filter through the brush and grad
ually condense until nothing escaped which
could be seen. There was no sign of life
about the premises. The still, liquor and all
other movable effects were seized and
taken to Port Huron. Previous
inquiry had resulted in directing the Off
GERS suspicious toward Milo B. Haynes.
Wilson Seaton, James Hayden and James
l.. Ash. Haynes owned the farm on
which the still was found, and his
son-in-law, Seaton, lived with him. These
four were arrested and taken to Port
Huron, where they are now in Jail,
with the exception of Ash, who
was released on his personal
.ecognizance. The other three will be ex-
amined before Commissioner Harris to-mor-
row. Ash had been for some time hotel
keeper at Almont.

NIISCELLANEOITS NOTES.

The winter succeeding November. 1878,
the warmest November on record, was not
as cold as the average, the lowest the ther-
mometer registered that winter being 13 Q ;,
but the river at St. Paul froze over on the
14th of December and remained frozen UNI
til March s, 1879. The winter that sue
ceeded November 1882, the next warmest
November on record, was an unusually Sc
we're winter. The river at ST. Paul froz e
over on Dec. z and remained so until April
6, 1888. The temperature went as low as
81 that winter.
The meteorological summary for the
month shows the following features: High

THE ICE PALACE,

The GLOBE publishes this morning cor
rect diagram of the ground plan and a per-
spective view of the ice palace as have
been definitely determined upon by the di-
rectors. 1t is a source of regret that the
directors did not adopt the original plan
for the elevation as it was designed by our
st. Paul artists and presented to the citi-
zens' meeting when the ice-palace project
was first inaugurated. By a comparison Of
the cut published in the GLOBE at the time
with the one published this morning. it will
be seen that the original plan of elevation
gave more imposing appearance to the
structure and was handsomer in every re-
spect. At the same time the plan which
has been adopted, if carried out, will give a
building handsome enough for our amateur

Lives. The subject for this evening is
Obedience. and The Sacraments as a
Means of Grace. Bishop Whipple will de-

large scale is now being held in New York
simultaneous with the one now in progress
in st. Paul. Great numbers of the
New York churches take part in
it. 1t was prepared for by sending for ex-
perienced mission clergy of the mother
church from beyond the sea, one of whom,
the Rev. Mr.. Aitkin, the head of the Pa
rochial Mission Society of the Church of
England, instructed about seventy-five of
the clergy of the church for their duties in
the coming mission in retreat" or three
days retirement for devotion, instruction
and prayer at Garrisons- -on-the-H Hudson in
September last.
Minor or subsidiary missions have already
been held in Pittsburg, Newburg and Brook
lyn, and many others will be in different
places, notably one in New Orleans by Mr..
Aitkin and associates after the conclusion
of the New York mission.

PITTsBURG, Pa. Dec. 2.-Lillian Spen-
Ger, the actress, was granted divorce to-
day from her husband, Edward Clayburg of
New York. Lillian, on the stand, testi-
fed:
married Edward Clayburg of my own ac-
cord, but had not been long married before
he began to ill-treat me. We were
married on Dec. 25, 1880, at Trinity
church, New York city. My husband
compelled me to get out of sickbed one time
to go to New York While very sick one
night sat up all night because he said
he would kill me aud I knew he
always carried pistol. L was afraid of my
life. He always ordered me around, and when
he wanted anything l had to go, no matter
how felt. When we were married we lived
in a boarding house. My husband told
me that he married me purely as matter of
speculation, and that 1 was never more to
him than valuable race horse. He wanted
to make money out Of me.
The jury returned verdict granting a
divorce, and placing the costs on the de-
fendant.

Westminster Street Tunnel.

A portion of the St. Paul & Northern
Pacific Westminster street tunnel is being
torn down because OF a mistake made
by the builders. When work was COM
menced it was agreed by the st. Paul &
Northern Pacific to build portion of brick
and the remainder OF stone, the latter por-
ton being on Manitoba ground. The stone
portion was to be built fatter than the
brick part, so that if the Manitoba at any
time wished to lay another track it could run
it over the top of the stone arch. A day or
two ago it was discovered that the brick
portion had been built past the point agreed
upon, and that it would be impossible for
the Manitoba company to lay track on top
of the round brick arch as it was built.
The matter was explained to the st. Paul
& Northern Pacific and without any argu-
ment it commenced to tear down the por-
ton built wrongly. There is no i'll feeling
between the companies, the whole matter
being a mistake.

BLAINE STILL MOVES.

The Atlanta Constitution indorses the
opinion heretofore expressed by the GLOBE
that Mr.. BLAINE is in training for the next
presidential nomination. An analysis Of
the vote in the recent state election in New
York goes to show that the partisans of Mr..
BLAINE manipulated the Republican vote
so that DAVENPORT could not display as
much strength as BLAINE did. This may
help Mr.. BLAINE in securing the nomina-
ton, but it will be Of no benefit to him after
the nomination is secured. The Democratic
vote which was against CLEVELAND last
fall was the most enthusiastic support that
Gov. HILL had. All that BLAINE's NOM
ination would do would be to aid HILL in
securing the Democratic nomination.
