the first of June he left 81, 100 in

NO, it must have been some lock ex-
pert that did the job, for the combination

Schneider then went on to say that he
had opened the safe Sunday morning,
had put $50 in his pocket, and intended
to row to Fulton to buy suit of clothes.
Afterwards he had changed his mind and
did not go. He said his wife arose early
Monday morning, and going out into the
yard, found his pants with the pockets
turned inside out Among the things
taken were the keys to the safe.

he had robbed the safe himself.

decided to arrest Schneider which was
done that afternoon. But no direct evil
dence could be produced at the prelim-
mary hearing to fasten the guilt on
Schneider, and he was discharged, and
public opinion exonerated him from all
guilt in the matter. Not so, Kerns
however He was not to be bsffied so
easily. The services of Pinkerton's
detective agency was secured. and
Schneider has been constantly shad
owed since the third of June. Tie
climax was reached Saturday,
when Schneider was rearrested at Fulton
on the charge of embezzlement and per-
jury. 1t seems that the guilty man had
turned the stolen money over To brother
at burlington, and the latter gave the
whole thing away. 1t looks pretty blue
for Schneider now, but a man that will
commit the crime that he did. deserves no
pity, and it is not likely that he will re-
ceive any.

NEW YORK, Dec Sin an interview YES
terday Hon. S. S. Cox said regarding the
admission of territories into the Union: "The
question of statehood for these mature ter
ritories will be prominent at the short ses-
sion Of the Fiftieth US well as in the Fifty
first congress. How these affairs may be
treated-whethAr deadlock will continue, or
whether any compromise viii be made by
which something may be effected-is more
or less of party question This l greatly
regret. l regret it as a partisan,
and l regret it more, having in
view the future Of my party, and
the growth and greatness of our country,
and especially that portion of it
west Of the Mississippi river Any action,
therefore, depends, SO far as the remnant of
this congress is concerned, on the complexion
of the next house of representatives. II it be
Democratic, the matter will be laid over un-
til the next congress. II it be Republican, the
stress now being brought to bear upon these
matters inclines me to believe that in the
forthcoming session some action may be
taken, at least with respect to Dakota. DEM
ocrats in that case, would be wise to antci-
pate the action, and thus save their credit !"
Cox thinks south Dakota should be admit
ted this session, and that at the next session

ported and also the Smalls-Elliott contest

gives the seat to Elliott, the sitting member,
while that of the minority declares Smalls
entitled to it. The bill to incorporate the
Nicaragua Canal company was then taken
up. An amendment was adopted provid-
ing that the United States shall not
be committed to any liability on
account of the company and that this Pro-
vision shall be printed upon every bond
Holman offered the amendment. Another
amendment by Bland was adopted provid-
ing that the United States reserves the right
to alter, amend or repeal the act and to reg
uiate the tolls, etc. Still another was adopt
ed regulating the issue of bonds and stocks,
etc, and one binding the company not to re-
lease Nicaragua from any of its obligations
without the consent OF the United States was
pending when recess was taken to 1880. at
which hour the session was resumed, ten
pension bills passed and at 10 p m. an ad-
journment was taken to Monday.
