That Secret Circular.

WASHINGTON, Oct. LIN tie senate
to day Mr.. Hale offered a resolution re-
citing the circular of Gen. Benet direct
ing the discharge Of Republican en-
ployees from the United States arsenals
and stating that under it honorably dis
charged soldiers of the Union army and
widows and daughters of soldiers had
been discharged, and directing the secre
tary of war to transmit to the senate
forthwith full information as to such or
der, stating fully whether the necessities
OF the department required that such or
der should be issued and why an order
issued on public business should be
marked confidential. Hale remarked
that there was nothing in the previous
history or record of the secretary of war
that would have led him (Hale) to be.
lieve that he would have permitted or au.
thorized the issuing of such a circular ex-
tending for first time party prescription
to women and children. He did not
know in the history of party politics and
party conflicts an instance where the
dogma ito the victors belong the spoils, ;"
had been carried to that extent.
Mr.. Cockrell objected to the immediate
consideration of the resolution and said he
would tomorrow answer fully the remarks
of the senator from Maine and would state
what the Democratic party was response

Elections IN Connecticut.

HARTFORD, Conn, Oct. 1.-The little
town elections which took place through
out Connecticut are OF no general interest
except as indicating the political drift the
Republicans have for years controlled in
the majority of towns aud returns from
one third of the state show that they
have not lost by to days election.
The city of South Norfolk. heretofore
largely Democratic, elects a Republican
mayor. The Democratic majority in Mer-
iden has dropped from 500 last year to
eighty. The result in Hartford is sub
stantially the same as last year, the Re-
publicans ~electing two select men and the
Democrats three.

ritory of Oklahoma. 1t provides for the
creation of new territory out Of the public
land strip. aud all that part of Indian ter
tory west of the five civilized tribes,
covering an area abont as large
as the state of Ohio. 1t provides all the
machinery for territorial government like
other territories, but docs not assume any
jurisdiction over the Indian tribes, except
IN conformity to treaty stipulations. Sec
ton opens the public lands strip to set
Element for homesteads only, and sections
5 and provides for the settlement of the
Cherokee outlets and Oklahoma lands by
actual settlers through commission to be
appointed by the president to negotiate
with the Cherokees, Creeks and SeminoIes,

sary. Section 4 contains stringent pro-
visions to prevent fraudulent entries, and

Provision is made for the settlement of
other unoccupied Indian lands, but in all
cases said lands are to be reserved for ac-
tual settlers only, and at price not to ex-
coed 81. % per acre. The cattle leases are
declared void and contrary to public policy,

perfected, and the power to create any pub
lie Indebtedness by voting bonds or sub
scribing for stock in railroad companies or

Cashier Raldwin.s Death.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 5.-Amzi Baldwin,
late cashier of the Fidelity National bank,
died suddenly this morning at his resi-
deuce on Walnut Hills. Baldwin was in
dicted with other officers of the Fidelity
bank, but for some reason his bond was
placed at $1O,0 900, and he was able to Sc
cure bondsmen, and he has not been in
Jail. In the absence of specific in
formation as to the cause of his
death, the theory of suicide is common
among down town people who
are familiar with the family, and who
knew the mental trouble the man has UNI
dergOne within the past few years.
LATER.-The theory of suicide has no
support whatever from the fact of Bald
wins death. He died from the effects of
paralysis. Tuesday night he retired in his
usual health, and yesterday morning his
family found him lying unconscious. All
efforts to rouse him failed. His physicians
pronounced it a case of paralysis. He
never regained consciousness. Baldwin
was So years old.
