The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1885-11-26

THE Washington City Star Qnd) is
we'll informed Of the sentiment of re-
publican senators in regard to their
action on Mr.. Cleveland's appoint
ments The Star of November 18th
says:
The probable course of action of the
senate upon President CleVeland's
nominations to office becomes sub
lecJ OF interested discussion as the
date for the meeting of congress
draws nearer. 1t has been stated and
reiterated that the republican senator's.
near the close OF the special session,
determined to antagOniZe the appoint
ment Of democrats to federal
positions where such appoint
mentS involve the removal
of republican incumbentS. In fact,
no such actlon wes taken. The sub
ject of the line Of policy to be adopted
by the majority 10 the senate was dis
cusSed in series Of caucuSes, but
nothing Of definite nature was done.
1t was discovered that wide diver
gence OF views existed among the re-
publicans with regard to action in the
senate upon nominations submitted
by the president. There were some
who urged that the republican major
ity owed it to its party to use all the
power it possessed tor the pro-
lection of republican officials
from removal. They were will
ing to concede to the president
the right to appoint democrats to fill
vacancies, but they preferred to re-
sist removals. Other Sell stor5 took
the position that as the democrats had
won the administration they were en-
titled to the offices under it, and that
it would not be wise to resist nomina-
lions solely upon political grounds.
One western senator roughly but
torcibly declared that in his opinion
the "tail ought to so with the hide"
meaning that the federal offices ought
TO go with the administration. Sew
eral republican senators made no
secret, at the time, OF their
opposition to any line Of
policy which contemplated treating
nominations by the president purely
from political considerations Some
of the leading republicans of the SEN
ate openly declared their intention to
accord the president fair and impair
tial treatment, and to vote upon his
nominations upon the merits or de-
merits of each and every case. Re-
publican senators who have expressed
themselves upon the question since
the adjournment last spring, have, as
iule, deprecated the idea of a strug-
gle, upon political grounds, between
the president and the senate. Every
thing goes to show that the senate
will act with its usual conservatism
and equable judgment in all its reia-
lions with President CleYeland.

Destructive Cyclone.

DUBUQUE, Iowa, June 9.-Sunday cy-
clone, with heavy rain and hail storm,
struck us late at night, coming from the
West The school house was picked up and
smashed to atoms. The St. Paul Company's
warehouse, operated by McMichael Bros,
with 800 bushels of grain, was blown over
on the railroad track. Jackson & Sartt's
lumber was blown all over the town. Lum.
Der was blown through windows, some
pieces going through dwellings. Charles
Arndt's barn, wagon, two bugges and q
cutter were completely demolished. Ludkes
dwelling, Mrs. Coreney's dwelling and a
stone dwelling were RACED to the ground.
The German church was moved off its
foundation and warped badly. Mr.. Ludke
had two children burt, not seriously. This
is about all the injury to persons. The
sorghum mill, owned by P. s. Davis, was
completely wrecked. About twenty barns
were demolished, and all the fronts in the
business part of the town demolished by
flying timbers. The wind blew loaded cars
from the track. The storm ragged about
thirty minutes. The loss will reach $50, 900.

PERSONAL RENCoNTRE.-There was consid-
elable excitement in the vicinity of Eleventh
and Main streets this morning about 10
O'Clock occasioned by personal alteration
between Hon. John S. Wise and Capt Taze
we'll Elicit, of the law firm Of Mcclure &
Ellet. The two gentlemen met few steps
west of the First National Bank, and after a
few words Mr.. Wise was seen to strike Mr..
Elicit 10 the face. Mr. Elicit retaliated by
striking Mr. Wise over the head with an
umbrella. Mr.. Wise also carried an UNI
brella in his hand, which he threw at Capt.
Elicit. The umbrellas we're discarded and
the two gentlemen then used their fists,
aud lively engagement ensued, both gen.
tlemen receiving blows in the face. By
this time large crowd had collected, and
friends interfered and separated the combat
ants. Subsequently they were arrested aud
taken before Justice MCGEE, who bail
ed them for their appearance before to Po-
lice Justice tomorrow morning.
The difficulty, it seems, grew out of the
case of f II. Anderson VS.. II. T. Miller &
Co, for alleged infringement of patent Oh
geutlemen's drawers, in which an opinion
was delivered by Judge Hughes last Satur,
day and a decree entered. Mr.. Wise was
counsel for H. T. Miller & Co., and Capt.
Elicit was counsel for Anderson. This
morning when Capt Elicit met Mr.. Wise
he remarked TO him that he didn't like the
way in which he had been treated by the
court and counsel, and spoke oft as unfair.
Mr.. Ellettip this mannet referred to the
opinion b,ng delivered and the decree en-
tered without his having been notified, as it
is the custom whenever there is a contest in
any case for the counsel on both sides to be
present when the opinion is delivered. Mr..
Wise asked What do you mean by that? ?"
Capt. Elicit replied II mean just what ]
say" Mr.. Wise took exception at this and
resented it by blow.-Richmond State of

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES.
Resignation of the Gladstone Cabinet.


LONDON, June 9.-Mr. Gladstone has just
announced the resignation of the Cabinet in
the House of Commons. Great surprise is
expressed at The defeat of the government.
1t was expected that an effort would be
made last night to prevent the proposed
increase Of the duties upon beer and spirits,
but there was no idea that the opposition
would overturn the Cabinet. 1t seems to
be regarded as extremely doubtful whether
the Ministers could resign and leave un-
finished so many important matters relating
to both home and foreign affairs. Nothing
more untoward than the present crisis could
have occurred apparently. Men of all par
ties are of the opinion that the government
should have at least remained Professionally,
that is, until after the general elections.
The resignation of the Cabinet has caused
a feverish feeling on the stock exchange,
and consols have declined 3-16, while Rus
sian securities are ! lower. On all the
provincial exchanges the weak feeling in
financial circles is more marked. The House
of Commons has adjourned till Friday. The
Earl of Salisbury has been in conference
with Sir Stafford Northcote. 1t is expected
that the surviving members of the last Dis
rael Cabinet will hold meeting this after
noon and consider the situation and their
own responsibility in the premises.

ALEXANDRIA, J
TUESDAY EVENING. JUNE 9.

Mr. LYRRooK says he ''is for reputation
nv a convention OF the people if the cred
;tors Of Virginia refuse to accept the hlu-
dleberger bill" The creditors OF virginia
lent the State their money upon the promise
that every cent of it should be returned 10
them when due, and that until that time
lhey should draw interest upon 1t at Inc
rata of six per cent. per annum. Ihey sup
sequently agreed to accept two thirds OF 1ne
principal of their debt. But the Riddle
berger bill would not only deprive them OF
another third of the principal, but would
reduce the interest on the little that re-
mains to three per cent, and with no secur-
ity even for the payment of that. ANA
because the creditors do not express Will
lingness to stand such robbery, Mr. Lyorook
would repudiate the entire debt. Wou!d
Mr.. Lybrook feel at ease in the presence OF
his creditors after offering them such terms
for the settlement of his own debts?

extending lis entire width, and which is
displaced about one inch, will be begun at
