MILLER MAY ACT.
The President Not Likely to Ap-
point a Chief Justice.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-Gossip about
a successor to the late Chief Justice
Waite is taking all manner of forms.
The most trustworthy diagnosis of the
situation. however, is given by gentle
man who should be able to judge very
closely - to what will probably be done
in the matter. This gentleman's theory
is that Associate Justice Miller, the SEN
tor member of the court, will likely act
as chief justice until after the presiden-
tial election. The reasons given in his
support of this theory are that the pres
ident will doubtless hesitate about sub
mitting a name to the senate at this
time because the bulk of the work for
the present term of the court is about
done, and because the Republicans in
the senate would likely defer action on
the nomination of Democrat during
this session, i'm the hope that the next
election would be a victory for their
party land, by non-actiOn on such nOm-
inatio9, they might be able to place
Republican in the vacant chair of the
court.

CONGRESSIONAL CHAOS. q
Numerous Things Which May or
May Not Be Done.

VA0y WV LIZ DOAAOs
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-Legislation
pending before congress is in condi-
tion of general chaos. There are all
kinds of special orders on the calendar
of the house, which have been run over
and disregarded in the past, while sew
eral stand for nothing in the future. A
special schedule for two weeks, making
assignments OF from one to three days
for various committees which may Oc-
cupy the floor with the measure they
have reported, is pending before the
house committee on rules, and may be
reported at any time and displace all
present arrangements made for the con-
sideratiOn of measures. The Repub-
licans and Democrats in the senate have
designated special caucus committees to
confer generally and agree upon an Or
der of business. They are expected to
meet tomorrow morning, and, if not
then. within few days following, and
report an order of business to run two
or three weeks. With these moves
pending in the two houses it is very
difficult to forecast the work very many
days ahead. In the senate tomorrow it
is believed the bill establishing bureau
of animal industry, known as the pleu-
ro-pneumonia bill, will come up after
the morning hour. There is great deal
of debate to be given this measure, and
it may occupy the floor until displaced
by some other order. The caucus commit
tees are considering what shall be done
with the bill authorizing the secretary
of the treasury to purchase United
States bonds, and which is unfinished
business on the calendar. The whole
silver question has been precipitated by
the discussion of this bill, and it has
gotten into very complicated position.
Tomorrow is individual suspension day
in the house. 1t will be in order for in
dividual members to move to suspend
the rules and take up bills they may de-
sire considered. Mr.. Crane, of Texas,
has been promised recognition, and will
call up his Joint resolution proposing to
change the presidential Inauguration
day and the beginning and ending
periods of congress. The Judiciary
committee will try to get two days in
the week for the direct tax bill, while
the committee on commerce Will claim
two days to which it was entitled last
week, for the bill incorporating the
Nicaraguan Canal company, and the
consideration of other bills. The Indian
pension and District of Columbia ap-
priatiOD bills are to be considered during
the week, and, as these are private
measures, they can get the floor any
time it is demanded. The committee
on appropriations may report the forti-
ficatiOn appropriation bills some time
during the week.

A Child Murdered.
Special to the Globe.

SpeCIdI 10 tHt OIUDe.
MooRHEAD, Minn., April 1.-The dis
covery of a horrible deed was made by
some little boys this morning, who
found well-developed female child
wrapped in pillow case, lying back of
Partridge's printing Office on the main
thoroughfare. An examination by doc
tors disclosed the fact that the child had
been killed by blow on the head,
which crushed in its skull. A coroner's
jury has been empaneled, which has ad-
iourned until tomorrow to look up evil
dence. Several such cases have oc-
Cured here during the past year. This
time special effort will be made to
find the guilty parties and bring them
to Justice. The city is much worked up
and lynching strongly talked Of.

STILL WAITING IN ST. PAUL.
Engineers and Switchmen We're
at Work Yesterday, but Ready
to Act on Call.

at Work Yesterday, but Ready
to Act on Call.
Up to a late hour last night there
were no indications that the switchmen
on the Milwaukee road would strike m
st. Paul. Railroad officials and yards
masters stated that things were unusu-'
ally quiet and that all trains were leay-
ing and arriving on time. IA GLOBE re-
porter conversed with several switch
men. but they had little to say except
that they would rather receive an order
to strike than not.
1.-THE boys here" said one, "would be
glad to strike if only to stand by their
brethren. but have received instructions
to keep quietly at work until they re-
ceive official orders. That's all you can
get of them at present."
Officials about the depot expressed the
belief that there would be no trouble in
st. Paul at all, and from present indiea-
tionS they certainly have good cause for
their opinion.
WORD FROM IOWA.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers is still on deck, though its mem
bers are rather quiet. They have re-
celyed a circular from Chicago. giving
the Brotherhood's side of. the case. 1t
is addressed to the public and states
just what ground the engineers have
for complaint and contains an interest
ing array of figures and comparisons,
showing that the sQ'' road pays smaller
wages for actual work done than almost
every other road in the country. The
circular states the demands of the en-
gineers, all of which has been published
before in the GLOBE.
At meeting of the brotherhood yes
terday private letter was read from
CrestOn, To-, which said, 'Everything is.
moving along to our advantage. The.
company COZ is doing some business.
but it is all local. They will only re-.
ceive through rate at owners risk, and
of course no one is going to ship that
way. The wrecks and tail-end collls-
ions they have had in the last two
weeks have cost enough to pay the mem
one year. The boys stick together like
glue, and we have three meetings a.
day. The company is only running two
passenger trains each way in the TWEEN
ty-fOur hours, and fast passenger trains
Nos. l, 2 and Is have been abandoned
until further notice. The switchmen
are out with us now. hope to see this
thing settled soon, as | wish to go to
Colorado, but won't go until it is set
tied"
The letter also contains circulars con-
demning two brotherhood men who
turned traitor, and are now run
ming engines. They are branded
as dishonOrable, and the divisions all
over the country are warned against
them.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The Sunday
Herald army and navy correspondent
says: "The important event of the
week in army matters is the announce
ment of Maj. Gen. Alfred III. Terry's
contemplated retirement. There is no
longer any reason to doubt that Gen.
Terry is very sick man. The sur
geons all agree that he has Bright's
disease. The general himself has ac-
cepted the inevitable and informed the
department. Although benefited by his
trip South, he does not expect ever
again to be able to perform active serv-
ice. The department being assured
that he prefers retirement to further
extension of sick leave, will comply
with his request by ordering retiring
board at once for his examination. The
detail has been made up and will be
announced as soon as it is learned what
date will be most convenient for Gen.
Terry to appear. The board will meet
in Washington. 1t is understood that
Mai. Gen. Schofield, who is the only
officer in the active list except Gen.
Sheridan senior to Gen. Terry, is to be

The Gridiron Banquet.

: WASHINGTON, April 1.-The March
dinner of the Gridiron club, given at
Welcker's last night, was fully up to the
standard of entertainments given by
that we'll known organization. The
table was laid for thirty guests, and the
decorations were beautiful in their Sim
plicity. Easter flowers in pots, with
garlands of smilax, were arranged
around the table, producing pretty eff
feet. On this occasion the conventional
dinner card was ignored, and an Easter
egg, with the guests name inscribed
thereon. substituted. The napkins were
arranged to represent nests, in which
the cOlored eggs rested. The speeches
were bright and happy, and the other
characteristic features of the club were
most pleasant. The special feature of
the evening was the ceremonies attend
ing the initiation into the club of Moses
P. Handy, of the New York World, and
Paul Wolff, of the New York Stats
Zeitung. Among the guests were SEN
ator Blackburn, of Kentucky; Repre-
sentatives Russell, of Massachusetts,;

An ignorant Scholar.

In the district court recently a
white boy 10 years of age, pupil at
the High school was brought before
Judge Noonan to give testimony in a
case then before the court. The judge,
seeing the witness was so young, in
terrogated the witness to see whether
he was competent to give testimony
under oath. In answer to the judges
questions the boy said he did not
know the nature of an oath, had not
heard of God, never heard of the ten
commandments, and did not know
who Jesus Christ was. Apart from
any belief in Christianity it is remark
able that one, so we'll educated should
be so ignorant, and it does not show
any intelligence on the part of the
boy. Judge NOOnan very properly de-
clined to allow the unsOphisticated boy
to be sworn as a witness.
