INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 21.-The
only foundation for the sensational
story of plot being laid to take Gen.
Harrison's life telegraphed to the New
York Herald last night appears to be
the fact that he spent night in the
country with friend just before cleo
ton, an event which was reported at
the time, but which was not regarded
as at all significant. Gen. Harri-
son did not see the report or appreciate
its full effect till this afternoon,
and when he read it he showed cOnsld-
cradle anger. sit is an outrage, an in
famous outrage" said he to a friend,
land / am surprised that any newspa-
per would publish it. 1t is so absO-
lutely false that there is not so much as
a breath of truth to found it upon"
This evening the general came down to
the Denison, and it was evident that he
was still very indignant over the report.
AS he entered the corridor of the
hotel, correspondent asked him:
General, who was that gentle
man that called this evening?"
II don't know, sir" was the curt reply.
''Didn't he leave his card?" Il suppose
he did, SIR" Ibid you throw it in the
waste basket?" ''No, sir; | keep no
waste basket" Then turning upon the
correspondent, he said: ''How often
must tell yon that am not to be cate
chized every time l come down town or
look out of my front door," AS the
general said this he turned his back
upon his queStiOner, and moment later
walked out of the hotel.

LONDON, Dec. 10.-In the house Of
lords to-day the Earl of Dunraven
asked Lord Salisbury when the govern
ment intended to appoint minister to

Lord Salisbury replied: 81 have told
my noble friend privately that the cor
reSpondence on the subject of the min
lister to the United States is incomplete,
and that. therefore, in accordance with
a uniform rule, | could say nothing.
1t has always been q usage
that the responsibility for all appoint
mentS rests with the executive govern
ment, while it is in the province of
parliament to pass judgment on them
after they have been made, but not to
require the government to give an
opinion beforehand, as To when they
should be made. On these grounds L
must leave the responsibility Of intro
ducing the subject on the noble earl,
and must ask the house to excuse me
from making any reply" In the de-
bate on Eastern African affairs,
Lord Salisbury declared absolutely
tnat lnere would De no eAptuillol
into the SOudan, but that Suakim must
not be abandoned. He said he would
not discuss the question of how far the
garrison at Suakim must be increased.
but the whole character of the opera
tions must be enlarged. Any policy
that was based on the idea that the
friendly tribes would prefer the gov
ernment of England to that of Egypt
was founded upon sand. Those who adj
vised the government to seize Suakim
and hoist the English flag there should
study the treaty of Paris.

LONDON, Dec. 21.-A nephew of the
late Gen. Gordon is member of Gen.
Grenfell's staff, and had much to do
with the planning of the works at Sua-
kim and the placing of the guns on the

bayonets and sabers used by the troops
at Suakim is much commented upon.
Many bayonets we're twisted in the fight
yesterday, and one hussar was killed
by his saber breaking. A. B. Wylde
writes to the Telegraph that he hopes
the military party will now allow HIM to
return to Suakim and make league
with the tribesmen against MahdiSm.
During the fight at Suakim, Ali KhOor.
a stalwart black, used hisE nfield bay
onet with such force that the steel
broke six inches from the point. The
barrel of his rifle twisted out of shape.
Ali Khoor is said to have killed twenty
Arabs single-handed. Fully 100 of the
Enfield rifles used by the blacks were
twisted or broken. Osman Digna's
nephew, who was captured yesterday,
has died from his wounds. He was a
famous leader among the Arabs. The
natives are in state of CONSERVATION

withdrawn. Petitions are being signed
generally asking for the occupation or

tion. and Lieut.. Buckingham, military
attache of the United States legation.

would always continue. NJ. Leroyer,
who seconded the toast, eX-
pressed regret at Mr.. MeLane's
expected retirement. The minister's
departure, he said. would be loss to
France. his personal Sympathies with
the French people being appreciated by
all. Mr.. McLane, replying to the toast,
spoke in terms of praise of the Repub-
lican Institutions of France, and SAID he
hoped that she would eventually
triumph over all her difficulties. both
internal and external. He reminded
his hearers that at the age of fifteen he
was a student at the Bourbon college,
and, with Lafayette, had taken part in
the revolution of 1880. Last year he
witnessed another revolution-the re-
placing. of President Greyy-that en-
abled him to appreciate the progress that
had been made in the intervening peri
cd. He admired the difference in the
method pursued, and since the country
could thus TRANQUILITY pass through such
a crisis they might rest assured for the
future. In conclusion, Mr.. McLane
said he felt certain that his successor.
whoever he might be, would fulfill bis
duties to the satisfaction of all and
would love France, but not more than
the speaker himself did, for that was
impossible. He drankSo the prosperity
of the Republican institutions of France
and her government. Mr.. McLane's

ran in an interview said that man
drove up to house one evening with a
load of goods, which he claimed were
his household effects which he was
transporting to Denver. He desired
lodging for himself and shelter for his
team, which he claimed was tired out
owing to the long trip made that day in
order to reach BOttineau. In the morn
ing the smuggler asked Curran to
take his own team, haul the
goods to the depot, prepay the charges
to Denver and he would remain at the
farm, allow his team to rest, and upon
CurraR's return from town would re-
turn for his family, bring them to Bot

A BROADGAUGE DECISION.

Iowa's Supreme Court Holds That
Any Liquor Containing Alcohol
Is Intoxicating.
Special to the GLOBE
DEs MONIES, To-, Dee. 21.-The Iowa
supreme court in the case of The State
VS.. Certain Intoxicating Liquors, Cum
mings, claimant, decided to-day that
any liquor containing alcohol, no matter
how much it may be diluted. is intoxi-
eating. The courts below declared the
liquor not Intoxicating, and the state ap-
pealed. The court says it is cOntended
that the lower court erred in not finding
the liquors intoxicating. The case was
submitted upon the evidence of single
witness. This witness was a chemist.
He testified that one portion thereof
contained by weight 2.42 per cent of
alcohol and 500 per cent by volume,
and the other contained 2.5S per cent
by weight, and 3.22 per cent by volume.
The witness further testified that this
liquor would intoXicate large portion
of the people who We're not in the habit
of drinking. The supreme court now
throws out the evidence and makes a
poses Intoxicating liquor in the eyes OF
''The court must have found under the
foregoing evidence that the liquors
were not Intoxicating. This finding
has the force and effect of verdict of a
jury and can not lie disturbed if more
than one conclusion can fairly
be drawn from the evidence cOnceding
the competency of the evidence as to
the character of the liquor. lftheques-
ton to be determined rested alone on
such evidence, we are disposed to think,
under the settled rule prevailing IN this
court, it would be doubtful whether we
could disturb such finding. We do not
feel called on to determine such QueS-
ton. The statute provides the words,
Intoxicating liquors. as used therein
shall be construed to mean alcohol,
wines, beer, spirituous. yinOuS and malt
liquors and all intoxicating liquors
Whatever Alcohol is, therefore, an
intoxicating liquor, regardless of the
fact that the quantity drank
at any one time would not
have that effect. 1t is immaterial
in statutory sense what effect alcohol
may have on the human system; it is
Intoxicating liQnOr. However much it
may be diluted, it must remain an in
toXicant when used as beverage, and
no matter how it may be diluted or dis
guised it so remains, simply because the
statute so declares. The liquor in queS-
tion contained acohol, and therefore it,
as matter of law, was intoxicating"
This decision, if followed to its literal
meaning, would destroy the sale Of vim
egar in Iowa.

ford, of Toronto, Ont, arrived in this

against Gillette, alias Allen, who has
been in custody here for several days.
Mr.. Radford claims that Gillette is the
man who swindled him at Winnipeg in
a real estate deal by giving him a draft
on Boston for $500, which was after
wards found to be forgery. w. G.
Smith, cashier of the Boston bank on
which the draft was drawn, accompa-
MED Mr.. Radford and identified the
draft. Radford claims to have followed
Gillette through eighteen different
states since the Winnipeg escapade, and
in that time, about fifteen months. has
come across numerous other forgeries,
varying from $500 up, committed by
Gillette, which, with other evidence in
his possession, leads him to the belief
that Gillette is either at the head or
prime mover in an organized band of
fOrgers and counterfeiters. Gillette
will be arraigned before the United
States commissioner tomorrow, when
continuance will be asked for until wit
nesses can be summoned from some of

the the marriage ceremony between

done. He had never seen the parties
before, and had heard nothing of the
abduction. The girl wore long dress

she was over fifteen, he supposed it was
all right, and finally consented to marry
them. Rankin and Toon were found
guilty of abduction and will be SEN
fenced tomorrow.
