WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The grave is
a few rods distant from Lee mansion, a
little to the front and south of it and Just
beyond the brow of a grassy slope that
pitches somewhat steepily eastward to-
wards the river. A dozen acres of close
shaver green sward, dotted here and there
with wide spreading oaks and naples and
lower down tringed with an irregular row
of evergreen trees, surrounds the spot
above, and at either hand stands a maple
and a buckeye, but in front and cityward
nought obstructs the view. 1t is a rare

A mile of level savannah separates the

broad gray belt across the landscape
Beyond lies the city, and in the distance a
semi-circle of hazy hills which hem it in

zon line cut sharply in the forefront by
the graceful dome of the capitol and the

SOLID FOR SCHEFFER.
Otter Tail County Declares for
Him First, Last and Always.

Special to the Globe.
FERGUS FALLS, MINI, June 1.-THE
Republican county convention, held in
this city to-day, was one of the largest
ever held in the county. The morning
trains came in loaded with delegates,
and the rumor was soon afoat that an
effort was being made to have the con-
vention give the McGill-Merriam COM
bination lift, backed by Sam Nichols,
who was on the ground. The indigna-
ton of the farmer delegates was aroused
at once, and they soon got to talking
among themselves, and when the con-
vention was called to order at 1O:3O,
they placed their leader, John b. Hompe.
red-hOt Scheffer man, in the chair on
the first ballot. The convention then
proceeded to business, and a good
strong county and legislative ticket was
placed in the field, among the numerous
successful candidates being John B.
HOmpe and j. G. Dunham for repre-
sentativeS, and II. E. Boen for register
OF deeds. These men are all for Schef-
fer. Mr. Hompe is the president of the
Otter Tail County Farmers alliance,
and Mr.. BOen is secretary of both the
state and county alliance, and the men
who placed Albert Scheffer before the
people for governor. Taking all things
together, the convention was COM
plete success. Scheffer men are all
jubilant, and the indications are that
Otter Tail county Will be represented
in the next state convention by strong
Scheffer delegation.

believed, would be to refuse to permit
extensions of time to members ''by con-
sent' beyond the five minutes to which
they are entitled. AS this practice has
grown into what the Democrats regard
as an abuse, it was resolved
to put an end to it. Mr.. Scott talked of
obstruction, and held that the Republi-
cans had clearly manifested their in
tenti0n to prolong the debate by every
possible means. In the discussion it
was suggested that something CORE
spending to the EXETER gag-rule" be
applied, but the suggestion did not take
practical shape. 1t was developed that
considerable majority of the caucus
favored the adoption of such rule, but
it was not the intention to finally decide
upon line of procedure at this time. 1t
is probable that the debate will be al
lowed to run on for some time longer be-
fore an attempt is made to apply any Sc
we're restrictive measures. Moreover, it
is still believed that after the Chicago
convention the Republicans can be in
duced to accept a proposition looking to
an agreement upon the date of taking
final vote upon the bill.

The Work of the St. Louis Con-
vention Tickles the President
Thurman Will Visit Him.
WASHINGTON, June 11.-Quite num-
Der of congressman called at the White
house to-day and congratulated the
president on the work of the St. Louis
convention. He expressed himself as
quite well pleased with the nomination
of Judge Thurman as his stunning mate.
They became very warm friends during
the visit of the Judge to Oakview last
summer, and stories are told of the
famous times they had together there.
1t is understood that Judge Thurman
will pay him another visit in the near
future. Mr.. Thurman is expected to
arrive here next Thursday with the
committee appointed in Columbus some
time ago to come to Washington and in
vite the president and Mrs. Cleveland to
attend the Ohio Centennial exposition
in this city. The two candidates will
then meet for the first time since their
nomination. Congressman Cultivate
was at the White house this forenoon
arranging the preliminaries for the re-
ceptiOn of the Columbus committee. He
had received a telegram from the man
ager of the Columbus exposition to see
the president and ascertain when it
would be agreeable for him to receive
the Columbus committee. The presi-
dent told Mr.. Cultivate that either
Thursday or riday of this week WOud
suit him. The telegram al so stated po-
lively that Mr.. Thurman would accO-
pany the committee.

GREAT FALLS, Mont, June H.
What at first seemed to have been a
casual killing developed into one of the
most cold blooded and unprovoked muir
ders in the history of Montana. The
negro Robinson killed Mcclure with
out the least provocation and deliber-
ately. He subsequently fired several
shots to prevent the citizens from ar
resting him. Sheriff Douring arrested
him on his arrival and placed him in
the lookup at Sun River and applied to
the post commander at Fort Shaw for
guard to protect him, but it
was not sent. He then placed
one of his deputies in charge
of the lookup. About IL o'clock last
night fifty masked and armed men sur
rounded the lookup and took the
him short distance, tied him hand and
foot, and hung him to a tree between
two buildings. The citizens of
Sun River had pledged their
word to the sheriff not to
molest the prisoner, and this lynching
is a serious insult to the court in ses-
sion. Judge Boch eXonerated the sher-
iff and his officers, but charged the
grand jury to fully investigate the af-
fair and not to spare anybody con-
nected with it. A relief party had started
from there last night, but owing to
the bad roads arrived too late to be of
any service. They found Robinson's
iifeleSS body still dangling at the end of
of rope. Mcclure was an old settler
and had many friends. This will serve

HIS BOOM IS WANING.
Sherman Finds 1t Hard Work
This Weather to Build Political
Fences in New York.

FenceS In New Ork.
New YORK, June 11.-SenatOr Sher-
man is building up his fences here, but
finds it hard work in the approaching
heat of summer. New York is not slop-
The most serious obstacle he every
where encounters is the solid declara-
ton of New York leaders like Platt.
Hiscock, Depew and others that he can
not carry New York. The worst of it is,
so far as Sherman's canvass is con,
cerned, that they sincerely believe it.
Warner Miller, who was quoted for
Sherman, has gone over to Harrison.
Still, Sherman'S friends are active. J.
Il. Howard, who was an appraiser here,
has been taking a paper around to
bankers and business men for their
signatures indorSing Sherman, but he
has not been even fairly successful.
EX-Gov. Foster, who is here grooming
Sherman, says he is certain to be nomi-
mated. His opinion is probably based
on the same estimates limited at in re-
ports that come from others of Blaine'S
friends, who say the Sherman column
now numbers $50 to $50 votes, and that
he will get the necessary majority on
the second ballot. am told that Sher-
man expects half of Maine, part of
Massachusetts, from Rhode Island, 2
from Vermont, 2 from Connecticut, 10
from New York, half of California, 2
from Colorado, from Nevada and As
from Pennsylvania. These are votes
from unexpected quarters, his friends
say. He is confident that he will be
nominated. Thespeech presenting him
to the convention will be made by Gen.
Hastings. who is a member of the staff
of Gov. Beaver, of Pennsylvania, and
vino is said to be an eloquent orator.

Democratic Congressman Talk of
the Mills Bill, but Do Not Decide
How to Expedite Action Upon 1t.
WASHINGTON, June IA rather
thinly attended caucus of Democratic
representatives talked for three hours
tonight upon the tariff bill. The eau
Gus had been called to devise means for
expediting action upon the bill, but
nothing definite was accomplished.
There did not seem to be any clear idea
as to how this was to be done. Even the
Macdonald, of Minnesota, admitted that
he had no proposition to offer.
Mr.. Mills said that he had been re-
duested by Mr.. Mckinley to cause the
consideration of the bill to be suspended
during the Republican convention to ac-
cOmmOdate a number of Republican
members who wish to attend.
In view of the proximity of
the next fiscal year, and the
urgent necessity existing for the speedy
passage of the appropriation bills, to
prevent disastrous suspensions of
branches of the government, it was
generally believed that this request
might be granted and that tha appro-
priation bills might be acted upon dur
ing the suspension of the tariff debate.
Final disposition of the matter was left
to the Democratic members of the ways
and means committee.
Recurring again to the means of re-
stricting debate while the tariff bill is
under consideration, it was decided
that the effort should be made to carry
out more closely the spirit of the rule
regulating the five minute debate. One
way in which this could be done. it was

Special 10 the Globe.

Special 10 the GLOBE.
ST. CLOUD, June 1i.-This evening
nearly all of the ninety-nine delegates
are on the ground, and the amount of
wire-pulling being done is caution.
Since afternoon change has been
brought about in regard to the chair
manship of the convention. Polk
county, with delegation unpledged,
has asked that John Crambe, of Crook
ston, be made chairman of the conven-
ton. Since Graves and Lee are both at
tached to pledged delegations, the gen
eral sentiment is now in favor of
Crambe. On the first ballot Polk county,
with eight votes, will give them to Com
stock as complimentary, and if there is
any show for his nomination.
WILL STICK BY HIM
until the end. Gilman has stated posi-
lively that under no contingency will he
take the nomination. The fight of the
Comstock men for the supremacy in
this contest took such turn this even
ing that they got a valuable second
wind. As indicated above, their strength
was net considered dangerous. But to-
night the fight is between him and
Buckman and is very intense. G. f.

throw his strength to Buckman, giving
it instead to Comstock, in other words,
underneath the surface of the names
Buchanan and COmstock may be traced
a direct contest between the old fac
tlonS of Nelson and Kindred. Not that
Nelson himself is fighting Kindred and
BuclNman-it is Gilman's hand that is
guiding the opposition. The field is
against BartO, as he is Gilman's protege
and Gilman wants to name the nominee.
II he can do so it will be Comstock. The
Otter Tail delegation will not arrive un-
til morning, and upon it's action much
depends. 1t is pledged to Corliss, but
as he cannot be nominated, the question
is who will get the ten votes. Comstock
and buchanan both want it. and are pre-
pared to make bitter fight for it. To-
night Bnckman
HAS TWENTY-FIVE VOTES IN SIGHT
and COmStock 20. Barto'S strength
is dwindling. and he is not conceded
over %. Stearns has 20 and Corliss 10,
with 6 doubtful. The counties claimed
by the Buckman people are Aitken,
Benton, Cass, Crow Wing. Itasca, Hub
bard, Morrison, Todd. Wadena.
The Barto men feel certain of Doug
lass, Mile Lacs. Norman, Pope, Stearns
and Stevens. This leaves to Comstock
Brecker. Clay, Polk and Wilkin. G. f.
Kindred arrived from st. Paul this
evening. One of his first utterances
was: Il am not a candidate for any
office" n. w. Hartley, of the Crow
Wing delegation, emphasized this with
the statement. 1--WE are here solidly
for Buckman, and most emphatically
Mr.. Kindred is for him and not candi-
date himself"
The committee on credentials, Sc
lected tonight, is composed of w. M.
Fuller; Morrison county; B. Strines, of
Otter Tail; Mr.. Converse, OF Becker;
Judge Waite, of Stearns; Hugh Thomp-
son, Polk; Mr.. Kendall, of st. Louis
MI. Nolan, of Wilkin.
1t is curious, in the caucusing to-
night and among the delegates at the
hotels, to watch the railroad influences
that are at work in favor of certain
candidates. The roads that gridiron the
district have a chance to nominate a
candidate of their own ilk They are
making the most of their opportunity,

TRYING TO OUTFAsT TANNER.
A Bohemian Farmer Thinks He
Can Live Without Eating.

RACINE, Wis, June 11.-John Zachar,
Jr., son of a wealthy Bohemian farmer
living in Mt. Pleasant township, five
miles north, has not tasted food for
twenty-five days. During the greater
portion of that time he has done arduous
farm work, but has now grown so weak
that anything more laborious than light
chores exhausts him. He talks ra-
tionally and gives no other reason for
his abstinence than he is not hungry.
Two doctors have been treating him,
but their efforts to induce him to take
food have thus far proven unavailing.
1t is thought his self-imposed fast is a
pronounced symptom of insanity, al
though there are no other indications
of mental weakness. Insanity has run
in the family for several generations.
Zachar is fully six feet in height and
has been a very powerful man. His
clothes which fitted him month ago
now hang loosely on him and his limbs
and body have Shrunken away to a
marked degree. The doctors do not
think he can live long.

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
Cushman K. Davis, of Minnesota, is
giving his associates points upon new
scheme of the "beats" which one of the
fraternity tried to work upon him day
or two ago. An old fellow approached
him with outstretched hand and a
familiar air and said: "Hello, Cush,
don't you remember me? l have not
seen you in fifteen years." The senator
remembered the face and entered into
conversation with his caller about old
times and old friends. They chatted
for half an hour and then the visitor
arose to go.
"By the way, Cush," said he, as he
put his coat on, ''can you give me the
change for S20-bill?"
Senator Davis answered that he could
accommodate his old friend, when the
latter said: ''All right. But l haven't
got the twenty. Lend me ten."
