The Minnesota senatorship.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The senatorial
fight in Minnesota covers a multitude of
possible sensations That of first import
ance is the appointment of a new poStmaS-
ter for st. Paul. Dr.. Days term expires
in December, 1887. He was first appointed
Dec. 8, 1879, and reappointed in 1888, both
times on the say-sO OF Senator Mcmillan.
In courtesy to Judge Mcmillan and in con-
sideration of Dr.. Days efficiency as a pub
lie official, no effort at change has been
thus far countenanced by the postmaster
general or the president. With the coming
change in the senatorial representation from
Minnesota the reasons which prompted
the administration to refuse TO
molest Dr. Day no longer exist, There is
at present no indication that Judge Nc

SHE TURNED WHITE,
A Negro Woman Who Bleached Out
Almost Entirely Before Death.

HOWELL, Mich, Dec. 23.-Mrs. Jacob
Eldridge (Howelrs strange freak of nature),
the old colored woman who has been grad
ually turning white for several years, died
here yesterday. Sne has been i'll for sew
eral months, but it is not thought that the
peculiar change in color which she Under
went had anything to do with her last
illness. The greater part of her body is
now healthy lily white. Her husband
who was pioneer of this county. died
Tuesday morning. Mrs. Eldlidge's grand
father was Guiana man. and her ancestors
are fnll-blooded negroes as far as known.
The natural color of Mrs. Eldridge was
quite dark. even for her race, and there
was nothing peculiarly noticeable
| about it until she was quite
advanced in years. Quite number
of years ago she noticed spot of white
about the size of silver dollar upon the
right leg. In the course of few months
others appeared upon various parts of her
body, rather more prominent upon her
limbs than body. In time these grew to-
gether until most of her body became
white. For the last few years the change
has appeared to follow the principal nerves,
and in time crept up the spinal chord and
change reached the fore part of her hair
streaks of white began to appear upon each
side of her chin, meeting at the mouth
One popularity is that wherever the
change came it was complete. There is
no fading of the white OFF into the black
through the various shades of gray, as
would be expected. Instead of this the
white and black are distinctly divided
The color of the changed portion is of the
clear. healthy. lily whiteness, and one
would hardly believe, to look at the arm of
Mrs. Eldrdge. that it was not the arm of a
white lady. During all the change Mrs.
Eldridge suffered no inconvenience from it,
and never felt any kind of sensation either
of itching, nervousness or pain. that could
be attributed to that cause. 1t has seemed
to generally go on without affecting the
feelings or health in any manner whatever,
Coming to this county in 1852, the particu-
lars of this strange case are within the
knowledge of all citizens who know fully
of its genuineness. When interviewed, Dr.
Coleman said:
was first called to see her about the first
of April. 1 cannot see that there is any skin
disease. In the skin of the negro theIe is q
pigmentary deposit, and in this case l. think
it but the absorption of this deposit as far as
the skin is concerned. I never heard of a
similar case.

LONDON, Dec. ga reporter called
upon Mr.. Parnell at the Euston Square
hotel this evening. He presented his card.
and was promptly admitted to Mr. Par
nelFs apartment. Mr.. Parnell looked much
thinner than at the end Of last session, but
he is evidently making good progress. His
physician thinks he will be stronger than
for many years. Mr.. ParneIl said he had
not yet granted personal interviews ON po-
litical subjects, as the fatigue and excite
ment would be too much for him, but he
was willing to make an exception when III
formation was sought by the American pub
lic Continuing he said: AFTER my NAL
ady had become fully developed l was uD-
able to attend to any kind of business for
several weeks. and it is only in the last
three weeks that it has permitted me to
think of political affairs, while even now
the excitement and fatigue have distinctly
thrown me back and made me feel worse. :"
Mr.. Parnell then turned to
THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
He remarked that the government, now
that Lord Randolph Churchill had resigned.
would have something else to think of than
coercive powers. In any case. tie marked
absence of crime, the general moderation
with which the campaign had been con-
Quoted, and the fact that the object of the
government and of the campaign promoters
was the same-namely, that of obtaining
fair rent abatement from unyelding land
lOrds-had taken away many of the usual
excuses for coercion. Regarding the legal
ity of the campaign. Mr.. Parnell said he
was unwilling to take the law from either
Justice O'Brien or Justice Johnston, both
of whom were strong political partisans,
who had received their offices in reward for
political services, and who were notoriously
lawyers of mediocer ability. There was
confusion in the judgment itself, as well as
in the proclamation. In any case," con-
tinued Mr.. Parnell, ''if it should be finally
and clearly decided by high legal opinion
of recognized authority that the campaign
is illegal, you must remember it will be only
technically Illegal, and only so because the
same right of combination which the legs-
lature, after much agitation. legalized for
British workmen under the name of trades
unionism has not yet been extended to

pine forests ineXhaustible mines, grand old
wheat prairies and the hardy. alert, grasp

men have all together made her famous
Now comes the beauty of her girls to
tranSfuSe this fame with grace and color
born only of the bracing northern air ard
mellow sunsets. That is to say, the Young
lady of the White house is now a Mime
sofa girl. Miss Mamie Huddleston. The
many friends of Hon. Thomas HuddlestOn
will recollect his charming family while
residents of st. Paul. The young lady Of
the White house is his oldest daughter.
Mr.. Huddleston formerly lived in Buffalo.
and there woOed and won the sister
of Mrs. Folsom, the presidents
mOtherin-law With his BRIDE he
moved to Minnesota, and has
lived there since He is now a resident of
the northern part of the state. Grover
Cleveland was his best man at his wedding.
and has always been an intimate. trusted
and tried friend of the family. When. a
few years ago, cloud swept over the do
mestic happiness of the Huddleston family
in st. Paul, and something Of scandal
ensued. Mrs. Buddleston returned to Buff
falo and has since made her home in New
York state.
THE OLD RELATIONS
between Mr.. HuddlestOn and the president
did not abate, however in the least. and he
has been respected visitor at the White
house since Mr.. Cleveland became its mas
ter. While Mr. HuddlestOn was living in
st. Paul, the presidents wife, then a young
girl, was for some time member of the
family and attended one of the city schools.
She became then very much attached
to little May Huddleston. Now that
the young school girl has become
the mistress of the White house. she has
found it exceedingly pleasant to invite her
cousin here to become one of the executive
family. Miss May is a young, blooming,
pretty girl, just now deep in her books and
making the best progress she can at school,
She spends part of her time at the White
house and part of it at Oak View. the pres
identS country seat out on the Fennally-
town road keeping the presidents mother
in-law, Mrs. Folsom, company in the large
remodeed mansion. The sight of a rosy
checked Minnesota girl tripping ont of the
White house, satchel in hand, as the school
bells ring in the morning. is something to
which the people of the North Star state
can be permitted to point with pride.
Miss Nays father was an applicant two
years ago for the United States district at
tOrneyship in Minnesota but was per-
suaded by the president, in view of the pos
sible charge of nepotism and family favor
itisT, to forego his chances, and therefore
Mr.. HuddlestOn has, very creditably to
himself, remained in private life.

MILAN always leaves his family here and
goes home for the holidays. He is now on
his way to Chicago. Judge Mcmillan saws
plainly that the thing is already fixed
against him. but still he wants to put foot
Oh Minnesota soil once more before he
dotfs the senatorial toga. His friends say
there is hope while there is life, and that
the senator has just as good chances for
luck now as twice before. As he is not a
politician, but an upright. righteous man,
who does his duty and earns his salary by
main strength and hard toll, he could not
cut and dry his reelection, anyway. His
oEly chance is to get somewhere within
range, and when the conrendng streaks of
lightning break into one resultant stroke
expect il to carom on his rod once more.
The Judge has just as good rod now as
ever and it is up now in good shape. 1t
doesn't run underground great ways. but
it has good connections in both parties.

-EPec1dl 10 Tue OlOU6
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Is there any
mystery in Montana and the Northwest
about Mart MaginniS' failure to get the
Montana governOIship? There is not the
least here. Nobody expected him to get it
but Maj. Maginnis himself. There was no
mystery about the matter in the White
house. and that sacred old house has been
smoky with mysteries ever since its present
tenant moved in. The president refused
positively, year ago last summer. to ap-
point MaginniS, and time had only empha-
sized his objections. The major is a man
of strong convictions with regard to HIM
self. Those who differ from him become
and remain forever his enemies. TO ap-
point him governor would at once have em-
broiled the administration in Maj. Magin-
MIS- personal quarrelS. More than this,
Maj. ATagnnis, since leaving congress, has
become interested in
PRESIDENT HILLS RAILROAD
through Dakota and Montana. He is en-
gagged here in Washington in pressing legis-
lation necessary for the road. In 50 doing
he is no doubt engaged in good work for his
territory and for the Northwest. But the
president could not fail to be criticised if he
selected the friend and attorney OF President
Hills road for governor. The admins
tratiOn desires to correct some abuses suffered
to come from within the management of the
Northern Pacific road. The timber thiev-
ing being done by the Montana Improve
ment company is regarded as something
that has the approval of the Northern Pa
ciic people. To show any partiality toward
rival road would greatly weaken the ac-
ton of the president and his admirers
against the other road. The president, it
is reported here. never thought twice about
Mai. Maginnis'e name. His position is re-
garded here as fully justified in the light of
Maginnis' utterances since Gov. Leslie's ap-
poinment. To say that "he would not take
any office from this administration if it
were offered Oh gold platter sounds like
sour grapes, and the president has no taste
for this kind of fruit.

Loughrea to-day and attended court. They
formally justified their charge of assault
and battery against Police Inspector Davis,
who was responsible for their arrest last
week. The court decided that the charges
against the four gentlemen for their con-
duct at Loughrea were insufficient to JUS
tify their prosecution, and they were there
fore discharged. The presiding magistrate
was John p. Nolan, Nationalist member Of

sence the Dublin case against Mr.. Dillon and
Mr.. O'Brien was to-day postponed for

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-As the holiday
vacation draws near the members of the
Minnesota delegation in congress NAV be
pictured in the minds of their million or so
constituents as standing like row of Ma
poleonS on ST. Helena. right foot forward,
eyes front, looking longingly toward home.
They feel themselves eXiled here by the
force of circumstances. Each one hesitates
to go home for fear it would seem that his
purpose is to mix up in the senatorial COLI
test. And nobody knows what will become
of his own fences when he begins to leap
over other folks boundaries. The GLOBE
correspondent has carefully interviewed the
Minnesota congressman about the senatorial
situation, but tine views given have been
strictly within the bounds OF confidential
and friendly conversation, and it would he
an outrage to give publicity to them At
the same time, it may be of interest to the
readers OF the GLOBE to know what our
congressman think about the coming con-
fiict, and so, with the guaranty that the
views given at some length below are gen.
uine, but so far as possible couched in lam
guage that will not betray the speaker, your
correspondent undertakes to give what he
mas heard.
LOOKS LIKE DAVIS.
The member from district Q, in saying
what he thought of the outlook. said:
OF course it looks as if Davis would be
elected. Now, what l say 1 do not want
printed, certainly not as coming from me-
but want to say that Mr.. Davis is the most
overrated man we have ever had in the
Northwest-overrateda as a lawyer, as an ora
tor and as representative man. His prac-
tice amounted to nothing until he had been
governor of the state; as an orator he never
has been able TO do anything more than to
write out very carefully, with long elabora-
ton, set speech, which he would commit TO
memory and speak like a school boy; on the
stump he has been q celebrated failure: as q
politician he is only second to Ignatius Don
nelly in plumbers, and as q man ne represents
only himself. l tell you frankly he is one of
the most selfish, grasping, vindictive and un-
scrupulous men that ever figured in Mime
sofa politics-and you know we have had
good many of that sort to compete with him.
The delusion that Davis is a great man, and
will reflect great credit upon the state If sent
to the senate, has sent a sort of prairie fire
sweeping over the state. OF course it is i'm
possible for ordinary human beings and poll
ticians to Withstand its fury: but can say.
SO far as ! am concerned, that Mr.. Davis will
