HAYDEN'S AMBITION.
A Badger Democrat Who Wants a
Dakota Judgeship.

Special TO the Globe.
EAU CLAIRE, Feb. S.-Henry H. Hay
den, of this city, lawyer of considera-
bic prominence at the Wisconsin bar
and a high-protection Democrat, has
been in Washington for several days on
what rumOr says is political errand.
A prominent politician said: 81 know
that Mr.. Hayden has for some months
past been ambitious for an appointment
to territorial judgeShip, and | have no
doubt that this is the object of his visit
to Washington. In accord with Col.
Villas uniform policy in this state of re-
lying on his former supporters to re-
main such without recognition and of
placating his political enemies in his
own party by doing them homage, Mr..
Hayden, though formerly a very
warm antagonist of Col. Villas
ambitions, has been accorded
more influence in the distribution
of patronage than any other Democrat
in the state. He probably can get some
Republican endorsement if he wants it,
including Senator Sawyer's. | am in
clined to think that Mr.. Hayden and
joe Morrow, the revenue collector
squeezed out by consolidation Of dis
tricts in this state, both want the same
kind of an appointment" 1t is sur
missed by some that the appointment
which Mr.. Hayden aims at is Dakota
judgeship, and the position now filed
by Judge Francis, OF that territory, is
limited at. 1t is further Surmised that
Mr.. Hayden only wants this judgeShip,
which. of course, can't last after the
territory comes into the Union next
winter, as a stepping stone to other adj
Vancement in Dakota.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-YOur reporter
obtained to-day from Mr.. Belmont,
chairman of the committee ON foreign
affairs, an important statement with
regard to the Chinese question, and
also as to the pending treaty with Great
Britain. In reply to questions, Mr..
Belmont said he felt he could properly
state that negotiations had been pend
ing for some time for an amicable
settlement of the Chinese question.
They had been suspended during the
summer in consequence of the absence
of the Chinese minister, but had now
been resumed and were reaching COM
pletiOn. He understood, in fact, that a
draft of the proposed treaty had been
transmitted to the Chinese minister to-
day, containing such notifications of
existing treaties as would bring about
the complete exclusion of that class of
emigrantS to which the people of the
Western coast objected. 1t was only
just to the Chinese government to say
there was no disposition on their part
to stand in the way of such all agree
ment, and he believed there was a
strong prospect that within month
we would have treaty which
would effectually dispose of the Ques-
ton. 1t would, of course, be necessary
for congress to enact legislation to
carry out the purpose of such treaty.
and, therefore, it was desirable that the
bills now pending before the house
should not be hastily acted on. If
there should be failure of the nego-
tiation, which did not seem likely,
congress would be informed in ample
time to pass independent legislation.
Mr.. Belmont further said that any
treaty arrangement with China to pre-
vent Chinese emigration would, of
course, have to be supplemented by
some stringent legislation, and perhaps
even by some treaty StipulatiOnS with
Great Britain to suppress the introduce
ton of Chinese cOOlie labor by way of
the Hong Kong & Vancouver railway,
by which means our present restrictive
laws were largely avoided. 1t was
understood there would be no difficulty
on this score. Speaking of the pend
ing treaty with Great Britain,
Ar Belmont -s~saidxz, as the mat
ter had been so widely
discussed through the papers, he thought
it only just to the administration That it
should be known that no clause permit
ting the eXtradition of citizen of the
United States for any political Offense
was included in the treaty sent to the
senate. If there was any such prOvis-
ion now under consideration it must
have been inserted as an amendment in
the senate. He repeated emphatically
that there was no clause in the treaty as
submitted to the senate which surren-
ders any right which this government
has always upheld, nor was there any
provision which could be construed as
permitting surrender on account of

A Bold Robbery.

PITTsBURG, Feb. 8. - About 2:30
O'Clock yesterday afternoon two high
waymen assaulted Mrs. William Livsey,
wife of the eX-state treasurer, on Bid
well street, East end, and after a des-
perate struggle secured her satchel and
ran away. A young man who witnessed
the robbery started in pursuit, but the
robbers drew their revolvers and threat
ened to shoot, and he was forced to give
up the chase. Mrs. Livsey was seriously
injured i'll the struggle. Her right arm
was broken in two places and several
ligaments torn. Her condition to-day
is quite serious. The satchel contained
over so and two pairs of gold spectacles.
This makes the fourth daylight assault
on women in that, the most fashionable
locality in the city. The citizens are
aroused and public meeting will be
held tonight to take steps to protect
life and prOperty.

not believe he ever will do so. l know

likely that he will oppose this measure
violently under any circumstances. /

York, and that the sentiment of the
New York Democracy must be con-
suited and be the determining power.
With this assumption by the Hill men,
it naturally follows that they are doing
all they can to convince Democrats of
other states that the Democratic senti-
ment of New York is for the governor.
Had it not been for this there would
have been no conflict over the national
committeeman, as he will hold office for
but few months. and to his successor
will attach the power of the place.
There has been conference extending
over several days between Gov. Hill,
Chairman Murphy, of the state COM
mittee, Fire Commissioner Richard
Crocker, of New York, representing
Tammany Hall, and eX-CommiSsioner
Charles f. MacLean. one of the county

of this conference is to fix up terms of

be done to injure the cause of the

anything TO happen that might injure

WILLMAR. Minn., Feb. S.-The trial
of James Funk, for the murder of his

Nearly all of Monday aud Tuesday was
consumed in getting jury. The state
is represented by County Attorney Por-
ter, assisted by Attorney General Clapp.
The defense is represented by j. +.
Hilscher and &. E. q. Vale, both of
Willmar. The evidence has all been
taken and the closing arguments made
by the state and defense. The case

cher did himself great credit III his clos
ing argument.
1t will be remembered that, Dee. {
last, James Funk shot and instantly
killed his wife. who was at the time
sick in bed at the Logan house. He
also attempted to commit suicide by
shooting himself, but apparently lacked
courage and only inflicted on himself
slight flesh wound, which healed i'm a
short time. Funk has been confined in
the county Jail here ever since, as no
bail could be obtained. AT the regular
term of court, which set shortly after
the crime took place, his trial was fixed

MONTANA MURDERERS.
Two Criminals to Be Executed in
the Territory This Month.

s HELENA, Mont, FeD. s.-The present
month will be a remarkable one in the
judicial annals in Montana, in that it
will see two instances of the vindication
of justice and the penalty of violating
that precept of divine and human law
which says, ''Thou shalt not kill" BY
an unusual combination of circum-
stances there are now two men in Mon
tana prisons awaiting only the lapse of
a few days to pay with their lives for
the murder of their fellow men. One is
John Hart, of Boulder, who is confined
in the county jail at Helena under sem
ltence to be hanged for the murder of
John w. Pitts, and the other is M. l..
Scott, of Granite, who awaits similar
doom in the Deer Lodge penitentiary
for the murder of his wife. Hart is SEN
fenced to be hanged at Helena Friday,
'the 10th, and Scott at Deer Lodge on
the 18th, one week later, and unless the
governor interferes, which seems highly
improbable, both executions will take
place on the dates mentioned. The
hanging of Scott will be the first legal
execution in Deer Lodge county, and
that of Hart the first in Lewis and
Clarke. for many years. So Montana
will see two ''black Fridays" this
month.

WALKING BURGLAR SHOP.
A Young Man Arrested With q
Bagful of Burglar Instruments.

CHICAGO, Feb. s.-To-night young
man, who was carrying large bundle,
was arrested on down town street by
two detectives. The fellow failed to
account for himself satisfactorily and
he was taken to the central station and
the bundle examined. 1t was found to
contain six dark lanterns, six chilled
augers, one extension bit. six slung
shots, six steel knuckles, two ounces of
dynamite, two ounces of giant powder,
three dirk knives, three alarm whistles,
four holsters, four thirty-eight caliber
Colts revolvers, four jimmies, six
boxes of fuse matches, a lot of mail
pouch keys, large bunch of skeleton
keyes and several skeleton saws. The
prisoner told Chief Henshaw that his
name was Charles V. w. Benedict, that
he was nineteen years old, and his
home is in Marshalltown, 10. He said
that Frank McCord, eighteen years old;

awaiting his return. Chief Ebersold
telegraphed the chief of police at Mar
shalltOwn asking as to the whereabouts
of the men named and received an
answer that they were not at that place.
They are all known to the chief of pO-
lice in MarShalltOwn, but he does not
know their present whereabouts. The
extension bit found in Benedict'S pos
session is a new one, but bears evidence
of recent use and it tallies in size with
the one used in boring the holes in the
back door of Snell's residence. One re-
volver Benedict had upon his person
was not loaded, but each chamber had
in it an empty shell and the revolver
showed signs of having recently been
fired. The bullets in Mr.. Snell's body
were thirty-eight caliber, Which is the
same size used in the empty revolver in
Benedict'S pocket. Benedict was for
merly postal clerk on the Chicago,
Burlington d Quincy railroad. The pO-
lice refuse to say that they think he is
the murderer.

Hours and Says He Was De-

CINCINNATI, Feb. S.-Louis Krohn,
who served four hours as vice president
of the Metropolitan bank, speaks out
plainly about the way he was deceived.
He says he knew nothing of any cause
of embarrassment until informed by the
bank examiner that the reserve was
impaired. He insisted on it's being
made good, and it was done. Then he
thought all was right, but on Friday
last the bank examiner called him to
his hotel and told him that there was a
ring or syndicate among the directors
that had borrowed and loaned the funds
of the bank in shameful manner to
the amount of between 100000
and s60O,OO0. The bank examiner
then said that Mr.. De Camp would
have to resign, and perhaps
would be called on to answer criminal
charge. Mr.. Krohn says that he and
Col. Dayton that night saw Means and
the other directors named as belonging
to the syndicate, and insisted on having
better securities for their loans. Next
morning Means and De Camp turned
over for themselves and Directors Roth,
Duckworth and Gerke, what appeared
to be a lot of good securities. Mr.. Krohn
then went to other banks an / got some
assistance, but it was impossible to
stem the tide. He AYERS that the truth
was kept from him until it was too late
to prevent the catastrophe. Cashier
Edwards makes statement of the con-
dition OF the bank. showing that after
all claims are paid there will remain a

Attorney Burnet resents the statement
which has been freely made that the
arrest of Mr.. Decamp on Monday night
was the cause of suspension. He states
that two weeks ago the government
was in possession of information that
warranted an arrest, but the arrest was
not made. In the meantime causes for
suspension were i'll operation, and on
Monday afternoon after practically ex-
hausting the help from other banks
the Metropolitan failed to pay its clear
ing house checks. The other banks
offered to advance $4,000 for Tuesday,
but it was difficult to find securities to
justify that loan. In addition to the
clearing house balance there was tele-
graphic orders to change balances Of
