THE announcement that Minister E. J..
Phelps would be appointed Chief Justice
of the United States being made, the
strongest pressure has been brought to
bear to prevent the appointment. Says
the Star: 'This pressure is exerted by
leading democrats, and is not based upon
any objection to Mr.. Phelps capacity or
democracy, but the president has been
urged to consider that Mr.. Phelps has in
CURED the bitter animosity of the Irish
Americans; that by them he is regarded
as the very incarnation of English anti
Irish sentiment, and prominent dem
ocratic leaders declare that it might
jeopardize the party's success next fall to
appoint Mr.. Phelps. A Star reporter was
yesterday informed that these represen-
tations, made to the president by men
who have only the good of the party at
heart, have Influenced him to hold the
appointment in allegiance for the present,
and that he may determine to reconsider
it." Minister Phelps arrived in Wash,
ington from New York yesterday after
noon, and was met at the station by Sec
rotary Bayard, whose guest he will be
during his stay there.

WHEN election day comes in November
it will probably be found that Foraker and
his Ohio boomers have put the republican
party in "a hole" by springing the Sunday
closing law upon the state. The law is
meant in good faith. The law was passed
to propitiate the prohibition zealots, but
the liquor men have been given to under
stand that the provisions of the law will
not be enforced in any of the large cities.
What sort of craftsmanship can this be
calleds In Cincinnati, where the popu-
lation is largely German, the saloon men
are to be placated by an official ignoring
of the law. Or, in other words, if the
liquor men will vote the republican ticket
and keep Hamilton county safe in the
hands of the party of ''great moral ideas, !"
the law will be dead letter.

Right Of Way.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March In the
House to-day Mr.. Nelson made the
minority report against the bill granting
to the Billings, Clarks Forks & Cooke
City Railroad Company the right of way
through the Crow Indian reservation.
The minority of the committee are of
the opinion that it will not be just to
grant license to parallel and compet-
ing line, where really but one road Is
needed, and there will not be business
enough for two roads for many years to
come. To grant second right of way
would be to force the Rocky Fork Com.
pany to bay up the charter of the Bill,
ings & Clarks Forks Company or to sell
out to it at ruinous sacrifice. 1t also

to say that of the 100000 men enrolled
as soldiers during the four years of the
war, there were applications from l 200
900 for pensions on account of disability.
Such military execution had never been
known in the history of the world. Who
believed that they were honest appli-
cants? Who believed that these pen
sion bills had not degenerated into a
political abuse which cried aloud for re.

of his friends on the opposite side of the
chamber, and in the words which he
had spoken he had wished to give the
opportunity to some of them who had

to throw his shining lance among the

carry off the republican nomination for

The Dependent Pension Bill.

The senate on Wednesday resumed
consideration of the bill granting pen-
sions to ex.soldiers and sailors incapacit-
ated for the performance of manual labor
and providing for pensions to the de-
pendent relatives of deceasel soldiers
and sailors. Wilson, Iowa, moved as an
amendment to insert the words from
infirmities of age" go as to pension all
ex-soldiers suffering from the infrlnities
of old age or from mental or physical
disability" In the debate which took
place, Plumb delivered an eloquent
eulogy on the army. Vest said they
heard good deal about almshouses and
veteran soldiers. In the state of Mis-
souri, there were no federal soldiers in
the almshouse, and he was proud to say
there were no confederates, either. The
south to-day was covered with MANNED
and crippled soldiers who had been shot
and shelled for their honest convictions
and they asked no pensions and would
not take it. God be blessed, they were
not in almshouses, and none of then
ever had peen seen begging for bread
Whence, then, cams the talk of fedora

resulting in the sacrifice of half a dozen
lives on either side. In 1856 it was end

house without discovering him. a baby
brother was also spared. Young Jones
had to leave the state, and has never re-
turned since. He was made consul to
