PRAYING FOR RELIEF.

Hawkeye Merchants Want the
Legislature Summoned and
Maximum Railroad Rates Es-
tabIished.
Special to the Globe
MARsHALLTowN, To-, Dec. IA talk
with some of the heaviest shippers of
Marshalltown, those that are suffering
the most from excessive freight charges,
demonstrates that their opinion is prac-
ticaly unanimous for an extra session
of the legislature as the only means OF
immediate and tangible relief. Their
ideas, boiled down, are that II matters
continue long as at present the COM
mercal and manufacturing interests OF
the state will be terribly crippled and
many of them ruined. That 1T
is unreasonable to expect the SUI
perior, state and federal courts to settle
all the questions that will be raised by
the reads upon the basis of the present
condition short of several years time,
and that schedule OF maximum rates
fixed by the legislature is the oEly re-
course likely to give relief and Simplify
the question involved. These are the
CONCLUSIONS, and yet no movement
seems to be on foot here or elsewhere to
induce the governor to call the legiS-
lature together That he would do so
upon proper petition there is no reason
to doubt The fact that he refused to
accept the resignation of Senator
Sweeney, chairman of the railway COM
mittee, who has just been elected to
congress, indicates that Gov. Larrabee
is considering the question of an extra
session.

Dudley case: "A telegram from Wash

CATION by the federal grand jury in this

reference to the famous letters: When
that letter first came out l said it was a

pose to make any further statements

that if he had any business lii Indiana

Yesterday afternoon the Milwaukee

1t is thought that there is to be very

that company is being formed with a
capital of s2.OOO,OOO to undertake the
laying of telegraph cable from Blanc
Sablon, at the straits OF Belleisle to

The Rumor That Gov. Church
Had Resigned Attributed to
His Old Enemy.
Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, Dak., Dec. Tt is be-
lieved here that the rumor that Gov.
Church had resigned was started by his
political enemies, who have been
bounding him ever since their failure
to secure appointments to territorial
offices. One of the most intense of
these is BierIy, of Grand Forks, who is
now in Washington attempting to break
into congress. He ran for congress OIL
a boiling democratic ticket and received
few votes. AS he was the only can
didate north of the forty-sixth parallel,
and as he is of the firm conviction that
Dakota is already two states. he claims
that he should have his seat in congress
as North Dakota's representative.
Those who are acquainted with Bierly's
freaks are of the opinion that he started
the rumor that Gov. Church had re-
sign, thinking it would annoy and
weaken him.

Il think that a cabinet portfolio will be

that lie will not accept. The fact is that
he has by no means given up the idea
of the presidency. His chances for '92
are very good. Entrance into the cabi
net would jeopardize them. If he were
in Mr.. Harrison's cabinet and second
term for the president were proposed,
Gen. Alger could not, of course. go be-

have entered the senate had he desired,
