QUEENsLANDs BOLD STAND.
Directing Strongly TO the Appointmeni
of MIR. Blake as Governor.

LONDON, Nov. 16.-Sr Arthur Hunter Pal
mer. acting governor of Queensland, has tele-
graphed TO Lord Knutsford, the colonial secre-
tary, notifying him of the opposition in the
colony to the appointment of Mr.. Henry Arthur
Blake governor. He saws that Mr.. Blake IL
not known to have administered responsible
government with discretion and success, and
that Queensland is entitled TO have a governor
OF proved ability and discretion. Mr.. Blake's
experience in colonial governorship is confined
to years governorship of New Foundland,
while his previous experience would only dis
qualify him for the duties he would be called
on to perform. The objection TO Mr.. Blake in
Queensland. Mr.. Palmer says, was spontane-
Gus. immediate and general and was the more
strongly accumulated because the nomination
followed a crisis in which rigid adherence to
the exercise of privilege had to give way to
responsible government. A governor cannot
be appointed from an imperial standpoint
alone, continues Mr.. Palmer. The colony pays
the salary and expects to be given a governor
Of whom the people approve and who will
work heartily and Loyalty FOR the colonyls in
terests.

A COnjuring BallOt-bOx.

CURIOSITY WHICH MR.. QUAY EXHIBITS TO HIS
FRIENDS AT THE LEAGUE.
MIR. Quay has an ingenious ballot-box which
is shown as a curiosity to some of his friends
at republican league headquarters. It was
purchased down south, and is of sort said to be
extensively in use in that locality. It is tin
box, shaped something like Saratoga trunk
In the top is a little shute for the ballots to be
put in, like the slot in tin money-box. This slot
or shute stands about half an inch above the
top of the box, and the opening is about two
inches long and half an inch wide. Over this
Is slipped another shute, standing an inch and
a half higher and fitting close to the shorter
one on three of the four sides. This latter
inch across the top, and on the fourth side
there is an opening. The box is supposed to
be placed high enough up SO that the slot may
be reached, but not looked into. One who un-
derstands the contrivance can 30 hold his bal
lot that it viii 90 not only into the larger shute
counted. But voter TO whom the mysteries
OF the machine are unknown would be almost
certain to miss the inner opening, and while to
all appearances he had got his ballot in the
box, 1t would, a. matter Of fact, slide ont on
the roof and down into the hand Of the ''disin-
terested" Judge Of elections. This is intended
to illustrate how voting may be done in the
south.
Mr., Quay il speaking Of taking the entire
second hoor of the league building for his
headquarters, but he has not yet been given
full possession. He is at the league for . while
every morning but ns ast ps'.s Susassss
glecting the congressional contests. The mem
bers Of the congressional committee have given
the whole matter into his hands They ask NO
questions, but trust entirely TO his clevernese
TO insure them the control OF the House.

TOO MUCH BANDANA.
An Ex-Official Whose Presence al
the League House Caused Talk.

Political chat in and around the republican
national league building has been spiced by q
warmth of expression that ought, if tradition
holds good, to cause somebody's ears to burn.
The present outburst of indignation has for its
target an ex-ofticial of one of the departments.
This gentleman was appointed to Office during
the early days of the war and held on without
a break until the incoming of the present ad-
mnistration. Then his place WAS wanted for
one Of Senator Germans friends. When the
news of Thurman's nomination the demo-
cratic candidate for Vice-President arrived
here the ex-oficial was said to have shown his
qualification by displaying red bandanas from
his present place of business. His conduct
attracted considerable attention. Democrats
and republicans alike were astounded; tho
former because they had never known
the ex-ofiicial to be Of their party,
the latter because he was supposed to be re-
publican. Time rolled along, and the ex-
official may have thought the incident had
been forgotten. When the city was in an up
roar on Wednesday night he quietly slipped in
and made himself at home in the league build
ing. Here he remained for a couple of hours
automatically enthusiastic-an finally de-
parted for home. In the newspapers next day
he was mentioned as zone of a small crowd of
prominent republicans" who reviewed the pa
rade from league headquarters. That newspa-
per paragraph caused all the trouble. The
gentlemans presence had not been noticed by
leading members Of the league because of the
crowd incidental to such an occasion, but re-
porter had seen him in a prominent place, in
republican company, and that settled it. Last
night number of the league members were
discussing the matter, and their language for
the most part, was vigorous in the extreme.
''The league building" said one of them,
..was on that occasion open to all republicans,
rich or poor, but to no others. No man who
decorated the front of his Office with bandanas
after being in republican service for more than
quarter of a century (and who was turned
out by the bandana' party) has right to set
his foot on the doorstep Of house dedicated
by republicans to republicanism."

CHICAGO, Nov. l6-The long-contested suit
over the ownership Of 100000 pounds of wool
in the storerooms of 7. W. Hall 4 Co., the com
mission men, whose failure occurred about
three months ago, is at last ended. At the time
the assignee of the firm took possession of their
warehouse he found that Hall d Co. had leased
the warehouse to the National Storage COM
pany, which had issued to the lessons ware
house receipts for about 400 900 pounds of
wool, or about 100, 900 pounds more than Hall
4 Co. had on hand. Hall & Co. had pledged
these receipts with various city banks. As Hall
& Co. did not own any of the wool in their
lofts the contest was mainly between the con-
signors Of the wool on the one side, the hold
ers of the receipts Of the storage company, and
the storage company itself, on the other side
Judge Prendegasts decision was to the effect
that the storage company is liable to the recent
holders for the wool covered by its warehouse
receipts. The court found that the storage
company never had legal possession, and was
not entitled to hold the wool in storage. Con-
signors, who were able to identify their shin
ments, were allowed to reclaim them, and az
ter the allowance of two liens for consignors
the remainder OF tie property will be turned
over to the holders OF the receipts Of the stor-
age company.

large number of them are still living on the
lands and are now circulating petition recit-

lowing to the present title OF the land We
reside upon we cannot have schools and other
advantages which we highly prize. We pray
the President of the United States or Congress,
in the coming session, to open these lands for
settlement TO actual settlers, that our needs
may be supplied by securing titles TO our homes
and schools for our children, as We are upon
