THE HILL BILL
To be Urged Forward by Hts Sponsor
After the Holidays.
Special to the Globe

Special to the GLOBE.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 26 6.-Representative
Hill of Ohio says that he has strong hopes
Of getting his bill for the division of Dakota
before the house early in January. Mr..
Randall will probably oppose this measure.
If he does it is useless to expect that the
house will even consider it. Mr.. Randall
has not said that he is antagoniStic to the
bill, but he does not take any interest in
the matter when the subject is brOached to
him. 1t is more than likely that he will
fire an appropriation bill into the house
whenever MI Hill tries to bring up his
measure. Gentlemen who have given the
matter serious attention express belief
that the Hill bill can be passed if once re-
ported. 1t seems like fair and honest
measure, thoroughly democratic in its pro-
visions, and strongly fortified with cOnstitu-
tional arguments. 1t is simply a PROPOSE
ton to submit the vexed question to vote
of the people and there let it rest. If the
bill were law it would be impossible for
Dakota to come in as state or states until
after the next presidential election. lnaS-
much as Mr.. Hill will soon become resi-
dent of Dakota he is not less anxious than
formerly to do what can be done for the
people of tine empire. If successful, he
might receive a reward from the people
whom he has served when congressman
and senators are selected by the new state.
While this idea may have occurred to the
mind of the Ohio statesman it would be un
fair to assume that it has anything to do
with his present zeal. He served Dakota
and her people before he ever thought of
going there to live.

IN CHURCH,s HANDS.
| Some of the lUms which the New
Governor will Dispose of.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Gov. Church
has number of very fine offices to dispose
of as soon as he is once firmly in the saddle.
Probably the best is the authorship, which
comes next to the office of secretary in
value. The salary and perquisites are be-
tween S., GOO and Sc, 600 annually. NJ. H.
Day. who has made so gallant fight for
the governorship, and so gallant renuncia-
ton of personal and political prospects, is
a candidate for this place. is, however,
being urged with delicacy that BELTS the
place. He himself does not ask the place.
but it is asked for him by such prominent
Democrats as Secretary Mccormack, Gov.
Ziebach, Hughes East and l.. j. johnson.
The candidacy of Mr. Day for the auditor
ship is going to be a test case and will de-
eide whether Judge Church'S administra-
ton is to be what he wants it or what the
leading Democrats of the territory want it
to be. 1t will settle the question as to
whether he is to be governor or whether q
number of people are to be governor. His
friends here have no hesitation in saying
that Gov. Church will not appoint Mr.. Day
and that when he makes the appointment
it will be one which will be entirely salts
factory to himself and nearly so to the
people of Dakota. Beside the authorship
Gov. Church will have the treasurerShp to
give away and that is good place. worth
about $4,000 a year. Then, beside these
prominent Offices, there are several car
loads of truSteeshipS, railroad commission
ershipS and so on. 1t is expected he will
make them 60 as far as he can to please
everybody.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-It is rumored.
with some evidences of probability, that
among the first changes Gov. Church will
make in Dakota will be to remove Attor-
ney General Engle and select new incum-
bent. The Democrats of the territory
speak plainly of Engle's appointment as
one of the most obvious mistakes Gov.
Pierce made. They do not regard Engle
enough of lawyer to occupy position so
trying and important. Engle's success in
securing reversal of Commissioner Sparks
order of April 3. 1885, wherein he sus-
pended the issuing of patents over large
portion of the country, blinded the eyes OF
Gov. Pierce and others, it is said. to his
real qualifications, and it was taken for
granted that he was q capable and efficient
lawyer, the fact being to the contrary.
Judge Church. who is an excellent lawyer,
although never having enjoyed very large
or lucrative practice, understands this as
well as anybody can. and there have been
intimations from men supposed to know
his mind with regard to this matter that he
would prefer to have the advice and CO.
operation of man in that position who
was thoroughly qualified for it's eXacting
duties. A part of the rumor is that Gov.
Church. even before his appointment, had
in mind, in case he should be made COVER
nor of Dakota friend in New York upon
whom he could lean with full confidence.
The business convenience OF this gentle
man will decide, it is said, whether the
change will be made this year. Ii he can
so arrange his affairs as to move to Dakota,
Mr.. Engle's resignation will in due time be
called for.

CHURCH,s CoNUNDRUM.
Will He Appoint Dak0fians or 9th
ers to Territorial Offices.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-There is a good
deal of curiosity among Dakota Democrats
over the question whether Judge Church.
when he becomes governor and sets about
filling the various territorial offices, will
adhere to his practice in appointing clerks
of court. 1t is known that the new gov
ernOr is good deal like the president in his
choice of his Official associates. He trusts
men whom he knows because he knows
them and he does not know the strangers
who would like the offices at his disposal,
and in most cases would perform the duties
and trusts committed to them well and
faithfully. Judge Church surprised the
people among whom he went in Dakota bv
selecting his clerks from the East. There
were enough good men in Dakota to fill
these positions, but they were ignored and
the Judge sent to his farm in Long Island
and got some of his men there to go out to
Dakota and accept the cerkships. This
was the case at Milbank. at Brookings and
at Huron. At one of these places the old
clerk found the new one on his doorstep one
morning with his commission in his pocket.
The first notice that the old incumbent had
that he had to go was his successors remark
Il have been appointed clerk of court here.
and I guess | better take possession to-day
The new man had just that morning arrived
in town. Gov. Church will have several
very fat offices to dispose of. and there are
good Democrats enough in Dakota to fill
them. But it is quite possible that he will
import friends from Brooklyn and New
York to enjoy them.

EN NEW YORK,
GEN. Sherman aud Others Give Ex.
preston TO Their Sorrow.


NEW YORK. Dec. 26.-The news of Lo-
gans death was received in this city soon
after it occurred, and in all quarters sur
prise and regret was manifested among
those who had known Gen. Logan. Sur
prise was most marked, for they had sup
posed him to be in almost perfect health,
and regret with these was deepest, for it
had as a foundation absolute knowledge of
the man. AS the news spread among the
people there was the same feeling of as
toniShment and sorrow. Gen. W. T. Sher-
man. who was found at his rooms in the
Fifth Avenue hotel, fingered fondly over
recollectionS of the early days of the
war. Called up by the news of Logan's
death. which had been telegraphed to him
at once, Gen. Sherman said: Il first met
Gen. Logan on boat on the Tennessee
river and from that time on until the close
of the war had a good chance to know
him, as he fought for long time directly
! under me. No braver man ever lived. He
had great personal courage and magnificent
action in battle. He manifested intense
devotion to his cause and country. Proba-
bly, at the time of his death he was the
most conspicuous example living of the
volunteer soldier Of late years. In poit-
ical life he was very ambitious and his de-
sire to be president laudable and fully war
ranted. He was a constant attendant at
army meetings and one of our best orators.
On the trip to the Pacific coast last sum-
mer he seemed in the best of health.
and only two weeks ago he occupied
the very next room to me in this hotel, and
seemed to be in his prime. For some years
after the war he was disposed to be cap
tious and fault finding but of late years he
has been bothered willingly by all soldiers,
both volunteer and regular. At first he
thought West Pointers were disposed to
monopolize everything. but he was among
the first to acknowledge his error. His
death is great loss to the military profess
sion. AS soldier and in the senate he
was strong and brave man.
SENATOR LELAND STANFORD
had known Gen. Logan well personally
and believed his death a great loss to the
Republican party. Stephen B. Elkins re-
ceived the first information of his death
from the Associated Press report. He
spoke of him as a great, good and pure
man, warm-hearted friend and a general
of ability. Gen. Grant had on several oc-
casions told Mr.. Elkins he looked upon Lo-
gan as the ablest volunteer soldier of
the war.
HON. CHAUNCEY NJ DEPEw.
There are not half a dozen men in the
country whose death have caused such
shock. His dashing courage and general
ship created an enthusiasm which his after
career has not disappointed.
MAYOR-ELECT HEWITT.
l do not look upon Logan as one of the
great men of the country, but he was
honest, earnest and patriotic. He was
partisan. but believe patriot, and the
death of man of Logan's experience is
always loss to the country.
SENATOR EvARTs.
Gen. Logan's death is a great loss to the
senate, the country and the Republican
party. He had great claims to the attention
and affection of the people as a soldier.

THE OUTLOOK HOPEFUL
For the Passage of the Bill Creating
New JUdgeships.

.
New Judgeships.
Special to tie Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The bill for the
creation of two additional judgeships for
Dakota is in a fair way to pass both houses
of congress at this session. There is no
opposition to it. There is nothing of a po-
litlcal nature in it except that. as one Re-
publican member cautiously said: ut is a
bill to provide places for two more Demo-
Gratis" This peurle objection, if it amounted
to anything in partisan sense, will read
lily be smothered by Judge Clifford. He is
as good Republican as any of them, and
he tells every one that the territory needs
the judgeshps, no matter of what political
complexion they may be. There are docu
ments enough on file to prove the necessity
of these additions to the judicial ma chinery
of the territory even to the most bigoted
and partisan. 1t is plainly demonstrated
| that the business OF the courts is being
choked beyond hope of recovery by reason
of the limited number of judges to attend
to it all. No man understands this fact
better than Gov. Chuach, 1t is hoped that
the governor will find time and inclination
to come to Washington some time in Janu-
ary and make some verbal statements to
the committees of both houses. which may
tend to hasten action upon this matter.
Nevertheless it is confidently hoped that
the bill will become law at an early date
after the reassembling Of congress in JAN

the governor OF the national committee.
1t is generally understood that there will be
no change in the departments in regard to
offices. Final recommendations will be
made by Mr.. Day, but before papers for
appointments come to him they must be in
dorsed by the member of the Democratic
territorial committee for the legislative dis
trict in which the office is located. After
wards the paper so indOrsed must go to the
secretary and governor. Having passed
the gauntlet of all of these gentlemen, if a
paper is forwarded to Mr.. Day and receives
his Endorsement an appointmet will proba-

che road to Office will be found to be thorny
and difficult. 1t may even be found to be

before DR.. Baxter came out of the sick
room and said to one who was waiting for
intelligence, ''Simply say he is DYING
Then the voice of prayer at the bedside
rose above the sobs of the stricken mourn
ers. and with its end ended the life of the
warrior statesman. Among those at the
bedside of the dying man were Senator and
Mrs. Cullom and daughters, Gen. Sheridan,
Senator and Mrs. Cockrell, Gen. Raum.
Congressman Henderson and Thomas, of
Illinois, and Mrs. Thomas, Senator Miller
and wife. Congressman Symes. of Colorado;
DR.. Baxter, Gen. Henry Strong and Daniel

Albert Hall. AT the head of the bed knelt
Mrs. Logan, one arm encircling her dying
husbands neck, the hand of the other
stroking his forehead. At her side were
John A. Logan, Jr., and the Rev. DR..
Newman. Opposite these were the daugh
ter, Mrs. Tucker, and her husband and
George Logan, the generals nephew. 1.-THE
scene," said DR.. Baxter, ''was one of the
saddest that I have ever witnessed. All
present were deeply affected. The grief of
Mrs. Logan and her children was pitiful in
the extreme"

1t is stated that the generals body will
no doubt be taken to Illinois for burial, but
no definite arrangements for the funeral
will be made until Mrs. Logan. who is
wholly prostrated, can be consulted. SEN
atOr Cullom, who was at the dying mans
side continuously from last evening. was
requested to temporarily take charge of
matters. He sent at once for the deputy
sergeant-at-arms of the senate, who, upon
his arrival half an hour later. entered upon
the usual preliminary arrangements for the
funeral by summoning an undertaken and
telegraphing to the sergeant-at-arms and
others at distance. Gen. Logan's system
was very sensitive to weather changes of
particular kind, and he has often been heard
to remark in half jocular way that he be-
lieved he could accurately foretell the coming
of snow storm. The seeds of his disorder
were sown during the war, his first attack
of rheumatism having followed Immediately
the end of twenty-fOur hours march

death preceded but few minutes the be-
