SIIAltON'S TRIUMPH.
The senator Does Not Live to Learn oi
His Great Victory.
was soon to come

In the United States Circuit Court at
San Francisco, Judge Sawyer rendered a
decision in favor of the plaintiff in the suit
Of Sharon VS.. Hill, brought to declare void
the alleged marriage contract. The de-
cision then states that the principal qucs-
ton is whether the alleged declaration OF
marriage is genuine Or forged Much
space is devoted to the analysis of the tes-
timonv Of the chirographic experts, nom
which the court decides that the testimony
is largely in favor OF the plaintiff, and
proves As far as such evidence can that the
signature to the document is forged 1t
also ho!ls that from the same testimony
that r,c word "vi.c' in the ''mv dear wife"
letters, are trac:n1s, substituted for other
words. The opinion concludes by stating
that the alleged marriage contract is 4
forgery, ana the decree is null and void.
The main opinion is by Judge Deady, OF
the United States District Court of Ore
con, AND contains $1,000 words. Judge
SAWYER filed concurring opinion. The
action was brought by William Sharon
aoain>t Sarah Althca Hill to declare null
ami void the contract upon which Supc-
rior Tua.,c Sullivan granted the defendant
divorce from the plaintiff wear ago,

HOUSE COM
speaker Carlisle Reported to be Harrts,ed.

Speaker Carlisle is about half through
with his committees. He has skeletonized
the list, and has most Of his cl,airmanships
settled, ans! is fitting the members in their
places. The committees he is having the
most difficulty about are the foreign af-
fairs, the labor, the coinage and the weights
and measures. The STIR SAYS it is set
tied that Bland is to hold the chairmul4-
ship of the coinage and weights and meas
urcs, but the composition of the committee
is giving the Speaker much worry. A
pressure is being brought to bear by Bland
and other silver men to have none but ad
yo.ates of the silver dollar placed upon it.,
while, on the other hand, great Influence
is exercd to have it constructed in har-
mouv with the administrator. In this
way the Speaker is subjected ia a cross
fire that is very harra>sing. The Secrc-
tary Of the Navy, it is said, will have much
to say about the composition OF the Naval
Committee.

PARNELL SATISFIED
That Ireland Will he Given Home Rule

New York Suns London: Parnell is
so thoroughly satisfied that Gladstone in.
tends to push through the next parlia.
ment his measures for home rule in Ire.
land, that he no longer troubles himself
with party intrigues, or shares any interest
in the rivalries OF, his opponents. Michael
Davitt's position continues to myst,fy the
opponents of home rule ana many promi-
ncnt Liberals have expressed great con.
Germ as to his future course. His calm
ness at times when he might be expected
to become demonstrative is puzzling, and
his unusual urbanitv and his care to seize
every opportunity to announce himself in
perfect accord with the policy and wishes
of Parnell, have excited general suspi
cions that definite promises OF complete
home rule for ireland have been given and
that both Parnell and Davitt are quietly
Should absolu,c home rule in local affairs
be given to Ireland, many believe it woult
be immediately utilized as lever to wider
| the brcech and ultimately secure entir,
, independence. Indeed it is said that Da
witt in conversation with a prominent Rad
ical last year. insisted thata separate Par
| lament for ireland should be immediatcl "
established at Dublin, and further dcclarct
that its first duty would be to sanction th'
organization of rifle clubs throughout Ire
land with a view OF: preparing lrishne,
for the final struggle with England whicl
! was soon to come.

THE SILVER FIGHT,
1t Will be II Long and Bitter Congress
sional Contest,

Representative Reagan Of Texas is
quoted as saying that he fears the Demo.
cratic party will go to pieces in the con.
test over the silver question.
Senator Beck's speech in the Senate has
caused serious alarm to many Democrats
who warmly support the administration
and other Democratic Senators are ex.
pected to follow him in the same line of
argument. Several bills have already
been introduced in the House providing
for the coinage Of the silver dollar and it
is expected that many Others on the same
subject will be offered Il, soon as their
authors are reached in the call Of States
when Congress shall reassemblc. When
Speaker Carlisle announces his committee
on coinage, weights and measures, the
same idea can be formed as to the char.
acter Of the report that will be made upon
these measures. 1t is generally believed
that this committee will contain a major
itv Of silver men as Speaker Carlisle's
views are to that direction. Ii such shall
be the case, then the committee will re.
port adversely to the bills tor the >uspeu.
sion Of the silver coinage. 1t is under
stood that the gold men have their propo-
s'tion> which they will present. First the
repeal OF the Bland act; second the sus.
pension of the silver coinage Tor a specific
period; and third, if no suspension can be
secured, to limit the coinage OF the silver
dollar to 100000 per month instead o
S., ,ooo, 900 as is now required. Whethe,
either one OF these propositions will be &C
cepted is a question. The silver men vii
resist any interference with the presen
order Of things and from their numerical
strength can defeat any proposition for ;
change it they stand together. The silve
fight will be long and bitter one and
will probably come earlier in the sessio,
than was at first anticipated.

THE CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR TALK,
BACK.
Gov. Stonennn. of California, Wants No
Chinese Suggestions

Gov. Stoneman, of California, received
a dispatch from Secretary Bayard, from
Washington, in which the writer states
that his attention has been called bv the
Chinese Minister to the movements in diff
terent cities in that State for the expulsion
of the Chinese. The Chinese Minister
suggests that it is preferable to prevent
violence than to rcpresS it after it may
have arisen. In reply to Secretary Bay
ard, Gov. Stonesnah telegrapl'cd: "Therc
has not been a single act of violence to-
ward the Chinese. in this State, nor do |
anticipate any trouble which cannot be
controlled by the local authorities. There
are deep seated and unanimous feelings on
this coast against the further immigration
of the Chinese. Thousands of good c,ti
zens are unable to obtain livelihood ow-
ing to their preSence.'' In conclusion he
SAYS: .'Rctt.rriny to the Suggestions OF
the Chinese Minister to Yourself as to the
proper method of preserving good order
in this State may say that We are cap;l.

4 rlan Proposed to Deal With These
Indians.

Senator Henderson and congressman
Springer anu Laird called upon the Secre.
tary Of War on Dec. 29,h, to discuss with
him the situation in Southern New MeAi.
CO in regard to the Apache troubles. They
represented to him the dcfenceless condi-
ton OF the people, and made known their
purpose to introduce a bill soon after the
recess providing for raising a body OF
troops for the special purpose Of hunting
and, if necessary, exterminating the MUIR
derous bands Which have been making
that region desert. They propose that
these troops shall be placed under the
command OF army officers. They shall be
temporarily enlisted for this special ser.
vice, equipped, mounted and provided in
such way as to be able to follow and
fight the savages in their Businesses. The
Secretary entered heartily into their !, ans
and promised to do everything in his pow
er to forward the purposes that they have
in view.

No clue has yet been unear>hrd to The

again on the 10Th, by the discovery OF il
series Of crimes even more inhunan than
the others. The remains Of Claude Eave>.
little s vcar.old white child, were found
in the back yard Of his mothers premises,
in the village of Clarke>vile, about two
miles west OF Austin. Swine were de.
vouring the body. When discovered they
had eaten all the flesh from the bones, but
the features were recognizable. Last Au-

poisoned by some person or persons I'M
known to them. About the time of Eave>>
death Charles Courtney became a boar&ier

and her two children, Dollie end Claude.
The unnatural mother tried to give the
children away, pleading poverty. \
couple OF weeks ago she told the neigh.
bors that she had given Do|lie to Il school
