mons to-day Blake asked the government ii
any further information had been received
from the Northwest. Sir John said nothin g
had been received beyond confirmation of
the news communicated Friday night. Fort
Carlton had been. abandoned and burned.

congress paid little attention to such mat

Ives, who, he said, felt more concerned
in the success of some Northwestern specu-
lations than In the safety Of the poor
settlers on the plains who were in danger
from the Indians. Sir John said the dis
patches stated that two Indian chiefs, Little
Pine and Poundmaker, had don ned their war
paint, and as they had been troublesome

the fact that the Democrats are obliged to

is fact they are quite willing to see Ander-

There are decidedly sensational develop
ments in the bond-stealing case, which was
made public last Saturday. It is now
alleged that Comptroller James s.
White sold $4,000 city bonds that are known,
and possibly more, and drew $1,000 out of
a Chicago bank on them. 1t is said he haf
fled Chicago and officers are searching fol-
him. Other crookedness in connection with
Whites administration of two estates in pro-
bate is made public, and it looks as if his
stealing and embezzlements will amount to
$4,000 or 100000. White was city comp
troller for eight years, and was known to all
Milwaukeeans as honest Jim White. It is
supposed he lost his money in wheat specu-
latons.
At meeting of the public debt commits
sioners, held this morning, it was agreed to
demand the arrest of ex-Comptroller White,

What Will the Senate Do in Case of Re
moyaIs?

Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, March 30.-It is said on the
authority of prominent Democratic United
States senator that the president has large
batch of nominations, consisting of collec-
tors of internal revenue, and other officials
not coming under the operation of the
tenure of office, all ready TO send to the SEN
ate, and that number of nomin nations of this
class would have been made to-day but
for the reason that there has been a rumor
in circulation that it is the intention of the
Republican majority in the senate to oppose
the confirmation of any appointment made
By the president caused by the removal of
any Republican incumbent. Inquiry among
Republican senators this evening, however,
developed the fact that there is no concert
of action for that purpose. 1t is stated
that several OF the leading senators on the
Republican side were in favor OF thus pro-
ceeding. Among these it is said are Sen ators
Edmunds and Sherman, and that the latter
is especially anxious to have this course
taken and would like to make IL the subject
of caucus action. later report, which is
credited.is is that the Republican senators have
reached tarit understanding to reject every
nomination sent in by the president except
those to fill vacancies. But a few Demo-
Gratis hope the reported understanding shall
prove to be true, because in such an event
they are constrained to hope the president
will take the bull by the horns and make
more removals than he might otherwise do.
