Il don't like that 'interview of myself in

part of it is all right" he continued, but [
never said / did not expect much from the
Farmers alliance; nor did 1 say that l
should poll almost the solid Knights of
Labor vote. What did say to the young
gentleman who Intercepted me was that |
knew very little about how the members of
the Farmers alliance felt about me, except
what was heresay, as I had not been out
among them; but that l thought from
past experience and present as
surances that my strength lay
largely among the working classes. have
never claimed that any society would stand
by me, because even if 1 thought so it
would be the height of folly to say so. I
think these questions are safe in the hands
of the people, who are just now busily en-
gagged in casting around for candidates to
serve them. The days Of boss rule are
rapidly coming to close, and cooked up
states will be smashed by the people this
fall. Notwithstanding l have consented to
allow my name to be used before the Dem
0cratic state convention for the nomination
of governor still there is no slate or undue
influence being eXerted, as I desire the
people to to be unprejudiced in making
their selection"

MAI. STRAITS ASPIRATIONS.
Maj. Strait of Shakopee, present con-
gresham from the Third Republican dis
trict, is not out of politics, although he
would make it appear that he had fore
sworn public life. 1t is common talk among
the experienced politicians that he is train
ing as dark horse for governor, and fail
ing in that will play similar role in the
contest for Republican congressman in
the Third district. His reasons for refusing
to be a candidate for denomination were
manifest. He had every reason to believe
that il nominated he would be defeated,
his frequent appearance as the Republican
standard-bearer having wearied the voters,
and this WEAKNESS was demonstrated in a
rapidly decreasing majority, until two years
ago, when it was barely sufficient to let him
III. he is one of the best politicians in the
state and knows that it would never do for
him to be an out and out candidate for re-
nomination, but there was no reason why
he could not become compromise candi-
date in the event that the contest between
Herbert, Reed and Denny, the latter being
Straits man. rendered it impossible for the
convention to agree on any candidate and a
compromise became necessary. Such q
thing could easily be accomplished, and
Denny'S men will not be slow to force such
a result, if common report can be relied
upon. Of course Strait would sooner be
governor, and he has hopes that deadlock
between McGill and Gilman will ensue
when he will come in as compromise can
didate and walk off with the nomination.
But the state convention comes first, and if
that fails to give him public position he
will wolk the wires in the Third congress
sional district, as he has been doing ever
since his return from Washington, unknown
to all the congressional candidates but
Denny. There may be big surprise party
in store for Herbert and Reed down at the
Third congressional convention.

IN PARLIAMENT.
The House Of Commons Still Debat.
ing the Irish Question.

LONDON, Aug. 26.-Thomas Sexton, Par
nellite, gave notice in the house of COM
mons this evening of his intention to move
the following amendment to the address in
reply tothe queens speech:
We humbly represent to your majesty that
the circumstances accountable for the recent
riots in Belfast dictate the necessity for spe-
cial measures. being the establishment of
your majesty's authority in the district
wherfrom the police have been expelled by
the increase Of the local constabulary to such
strength as will enable it to deal with eyery
probable contingency.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach replying to Mr..
Edward Crussell, who yesterday gave no.
tice of his intention to move to-day the adj
journment of the house for the purpose of
ascertaining if the governments object in
sending Sir Redvers Butler to Ireland was
to establish martial law, declared that the
general was not sent to Ireland to establish
martial law, nor to strain the ordinary law.
but merely to assist the civil authorities in
the work Of preserving social order and
DETECTING AND Furnishing CRIME.
This reply was not deemed satisfactory by
the opposition, and Mr.. Russell moved the
adjournment of the house. The whole on
position consisting of all the Gladstonian
and Parnellite members arose in support of
the motion, and Mr.. Russell proceeded to
contend that the policy of the government;
was to degrade Ireland to the level of a
savage and barbarous country. Gen. Butler

Relations With Mexico.

0peclal 10 the GlODe.
WASHINGTON, Aug. ga well-kept
diplomatic and executive secret, to which
interest is given by the possibility of a re-
quest being made by the United States for
the surrender by Mexico of Mondragon for
trial in this country, is the fact that the
special extradition treaty between the
United States and Mexico is now awaitin
final action by the Mexican congress, hay
ing been accepted with amendment by the
United States senate in June of this year.
The treaty provides that a surrender to
either country by the authorities Of the
other shall be discretionary with the ex-
ecutive whenever notorious crime shall
have been committed. This treaty, although
approved by both nations, still lacks the
final Mexican sanction to render it oper-
alive. The only significance of the treaty
is the indication of the disposition on the
part of the United States to sustain rela-
lions with Mexico. Mexico already has
this authority to surrender notorious GRIM
inals, but the United States has no such
power without the treaty. When Mexico
has voluntary surrendered such prisoners
the United States has only accepted the
action with the understanding that no
obligation to reciprocate was involved.

acy to whip Attorney Wood and Mr..

These men were arrested in Northern Da-

having been implicated as above intimated
are supposed to have had more less to do
with the murder of Rev. MI. Haddock on
the same hight. The testimony developed
the fact that one or more of our police
were cognizant of the plan to whip Wood
and Walker, and a justice of the peace
was to keep his Office open until an unus-
ually late hour to accommodate the guilty
parties, for it was part of the plan to COM
nit the deed, be arrested, and taken at
once to justice of the peace and be fined.

Gossip in the Hobbies Anent the
Candidates IN the First District.-
Maj. Straits Am bitfOn.
John Lovely, the Republican candidate
for congress in the First district, is some
what troubled over the nomination of
Judge Wilson of Winona as the Demo-
cratic standard bearer in that district, an I'd
is not little exercised over the result
He pretends to the public that he is conf
dent Of an election, but to his friends and
trusted lieutenantS he admits that Judge
Wilson has more than good fighting
chance for election, and it becomes i'm
lovely to stir himself about the district.
To that end he will soon make personal
canvass, a proceeding never under consid
Grafton until after the nomination of Judge
Wilson.
Lovely is scared" remarked Republic
can of the First district at the Merchants
yesterday, land know it, for he confessed
as much to me. l said to him that the
nomination of Judge Wilson meant hard
work, as the judge never would have ac-
cepted the nomination without having been
convinced that he stood some show of be-
Ing elected. Lovely admitted that he had
no walkaway, but had down hard work in
front of him. I further said that I
understood that Judge Wilson extended
to make tour through the district and make
personal canvass of it. Lovely said that he
had heard of the contemplated canvass,
and insinuated that'th judge would have
to make up right Off if he intended to get
ahead of him Uovely) as the latter avowed
his intention of starting right in. In other
words, he said that he would begin his per-
sonal canvass within few days. While
do not think that Wilson will defeat Lovely
I believe that it will be very close, and
if Whites friends refuse to take any hand
In the campaign, simply because White was
defeated for the nomination, Lovely may be
beaten"
You won't hear any Republicans with
good horse sense attack Judge Wilson be-
cause he has been employed as an attorney
for railroad, because Lovely's railroad
record is not near as good as Judge Will
sons. Lovely would like to be an attorney
for railroad. but so far has not got the

President Has Violated the Law.
Special to the GLOBE.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The appoint
ment of colored statesman from Albany
as recorder of deeds still rankles in the
bosomS of Washington politicians, notwith-
standing the presidents elaborate eXpana-
ton of his motives. The Critic says this
evening:
Following is an exact copy Of the presidents
letter on file in the Office of the executive
clerk of the senate:
ITO the Senate of the United States: 7
nominate James c. Matthews of New York to
be recorder of deeds in the District of Column
bia, vice Frederick Douglass, who has re-
signed. GROVER CLEVELAND
Executive Mansion, Washington, d. c.,
March 4.
There are no conditions accompanying the
presidents letter as to a vacancy existing,
for he says: Douglass has resigned" The
subsequent action of the president in COM
missioning Matthews as recorder of deeds
was, therefore, to fill vacancy, while the
senate was in session. This action brings
both the president and Matthews under the
penalties Of sections It'll and 1772 of the re-
vised statutes, and the conditions are aggra-
waited by the fact of Matthews having already
been rejected by the senate. The provisions
of the revised statutes thus mildly invoked
consigns any person who accepts any ap-
pointment and attempts to exercise and any
person who makes u removal or appointment
or signs commission in violation of the pro-
visions of the law alleged to cover the case ia
five years imprisonment and fine of not
more than $10,000t The prospect thus CON
jured up of the president and his faithful
Matthews journeying together to the peniten-
tiary of their familiar Albany appears to be
rather gratifying than otherwise to the sore
headed applicants for the recordship.
