Differences of Opinion Among Re-
PubIicans Oh Combinations.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-That there is a
sharp difference of opinion among Repub-
lican senators in the policy to be followed
regarding the presidents nominations, hap
penings in and out of the executive session
have shown. Nevertheless it has not
been easy to draw clear line of distinc-
ton. There are some of the senators, like
Gen. Logan, who believe that Republicans
have no business holding office under a
Democratic administration, yet who propose
to scrutiniZe very sharply all the appoint
mentS of Democrats. Other senators. who
have very lively sense of favors past and
prospective, would let all the nominations
go unchallenged. A considerable element
among the Republicans, without reference to
individual cases. takes the position that the
senate is bound to recognize the fact that a
Democratic president is in the white house,
and that public sentiment will not support
anything which looks like factious inter-
ference with his prerogatives. These sena-
tors have generally urged a conservative
course. Senator Mitchell of Oregon, who
has been put in this category, in speaking
Of the subject to-day said:
There are some senators who think it their
business to keep Republicans in Office. Now,
! must say frankly that i don't sympathize
with this view. though i am as thorough
going Republican as any of my colleagues.
! believe that in passing on nominations the
senate should remember the president is q
Democrat, and we have Democratic admin
straton. l would not put any
OBSTACLES IN THE WAY
Of confirming officials who are in harmony
with the dominant party, where the manner
Of their appointment is legitimate. If Re
publican is removed to give place to Demo-
rrat and there is nothing urged against the
latters fitness for the position to which he is
nominated, believe in confirming him. But
where charges have been made against an
official and he is removed under cloud
think it proper that he be afforded an opper-
tunity to meet those charges and to this end
the senate should have before it the papers
In the case. Of its right to demand such
papers l have no doubt. They are treated
confidentially in executive session, lust like
other matters pertaining to combinations
Without venturing to make any predictions
my own belief is that when the senate pets to
the point and calls on the executive directly
for such papers they will, if there are any. be
Forthcoming. 1t is the documents which. in
my Judgment, should be asked for and not
the PRESIDENT reasons.
After all, this is not so far from the posi-
ton of the more radical senators. 1t is
practically the ground taken at the caucus
Friday, when the decision was made that
the president should be called on for the
papers when the senate thought their pro-
duction desirable. The end sought is
simply to force the president to define his
attitude.

People of That state Excited Over n
Boy Preacher.
Special to the Clone.

Sp6Cldi W InS OlODc.
RALEIGH, n. c., Jan. 1.-THE sensa-
ton created by the alleged divine call of the
Wake county youth. John B. Sturdevant,
to preach the gospel increases, and there
are hundreds of believers in the call.
Thursday night two prominent men of
Raleigh, one the principal of a Sunday
school and the other for years teacher in a
state institution for the deaf. dumb and
blind, went to Auburn to see Sturdevant
and hear him preach. AS many persons as
could get i'll the house were present. Lying
on the bed, with eyes wide open, was the
boy. He spoke for an hour and quarter,
using vigorous and graceful language He
stated he was addressing an audience of 500
people. His voice could be heard great
distance. He was stricken with blindness
Wednesday, as he alleged God had told him
he would be. AT 5 o'clock Yesterday, just
at the time he named, his sight was re-
stored. The teacher from the deaf, dumb
and blind institute and physicians of the
neghborhOod say the boy was certainly
totally blind during the period from
Wednesday at 10 a. m. to yesterday after
noon at 3, and in their presence and that of
about $50 persons
SIGHT WAS RESTORED.
All day yesterday the boy was led about
the house. Just before o'clock he took a
position in front of the fire in large room.
Principally at the boy raised his head,
lowered it. raised it again and cried aloud,
Il can see." The people were greatly eX-
cited. He walked through the house shak-
ing hands with nearly all those present.
The boy is 16 years of age and weighs 140
pounds, and is very strong. Three years
ago he had an affection caused by spinal
disease. His father states that one night,
While the boy was in a violent lit, four
strong men were unable to hold him. He
broke away from them and went to the
organ and played three hymns i'm excellent
style, though before he was unable to do so.
AS he played the last hymn he made pro-
fession of religion, and then calmly lay
down. Since that time he has never had
another attack. and has been in excellent
health. The boy says that if the divine
origin of his blindness and recovery of sight
is not believed by the people other and
even more convincing signs will be afforded.

a saIoonkeeper's Rash Act.


WABASH, Ind. Jan. 17.-Peter Pas
chong is asaloonkeeper doing business at
Laketon, this county. Paschong has a
great aversion to popular religious doc
trines. and especially those which inculcate
temperance principles, snd when revival
services began i'm the Methodist church at
Laketon he expressed his opinion of the
means of grace freely and forcibly. Learning
that his wife was constant attendant. he
watched few evenings since. saw her start
to church, and following her entered while
the minister was praying, grasped her saw
agely by the shoulder. dragged her out of
the building. pausing at the door only long
enough to execrate the pastor and his flock
in language most outrageous. Feeling
against the fellow runs high in Laketon,

notice of his intention to deliver a speech
on Tuesday upon his resolution to pay in

EsTEKN WAITE II WAYS.
Action 10 be Taken by Their Repre-
senIatives This Week.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-The men who
are moving in behalf of large appropria-
tons for the improvement of the internal
navigation of the country are beginning to
arrive here, and meetings will be held this
week TO express their views and impress
them upon congress. Among the arrivals
are members of the executive committees
appointed by the convention held at New
Orleans, Kansas City and st. Paul during
the last six months in the interests of the
improvement of means of commercial in
tercourse in the South, the West and the
Northwest 1t is expected that in all
about 100 men will be present at
the conference TO be held at noon
tomorrow. Capt. Clarke. who was
secretary of the convention at st. Paul,
says they are dissatisfied with the Sl1, 000.-
coo limit which the house committee on
rivers and harbors proposes TO put upon its
appropriations for the next fiscal year.
They insist that SIS. 600. 900 would not be a
dollar too much TO meet the necessity for
better water transportation. Tomorrow
night the congressional delegations from
Illinois and Iowa will hold conference to
map out plan OF the campaign that is to
be fought i'm the interest of the Hennepin
canal. Congressman Murphy of Iowa is
earnest and enthusiastic as he was when he
first came to congress to join in the fight for
the Hennepin canal He says as Iowa
and Illinois pay so large a share of the in
ternal taxes of the country, and as Iowa
has received nothing for improvement of
rivers or harbors, these two states have a
right TO insist that they shall be heard in
respect to the Hennepin. He has been
looking into the war department reports,
and finds that when the first appropriation
was made for the st. Marys canal. about
thirty years ago. the tonnage that passed
through in year amounted to 100, 900. and
that it has increased to 100000 tons in
1885, which is equal to $50, 600, 900 bushels
of grain
