Effect of the Ne,, York SquabbEe.

WASHINGTON Dec. 15.-The Evening
Star says. the impression is growing
among New Workers in congress that the
Platt- Miller contest is going to result in
New Workers having no representative in
the cabinet. One of the best informed
members of the New York delegation
said to Il reporter to-day he did not see
any prospect of a compromise, and
thought it would be impossible for Mr..
Harrison to put New York man III the
cabinet If this contest between Miller
and Platt continues, he said, New York
will not be represented i'll the cabinet.
There is no man they can compromise on.
Mr.. Harrison could not appoint Miller in
the face of all the combination i'll Platt S
interest. If he should appoint Mr.. Platt
it would open up again all fractional fights
that have just been settled. New York
will have TO 20 without a cabinet place.
Aside from the honor of the thing there
is no especial advantage to the state in
the position, anyhow. He thought some
Western man would be appointed secre-
tary of the treasury.
The same paper has the following: A
dispatch sent by authority has been re-
ceiyed. here. by members of the Maine
delegation in congress, informing them in
reply to inquiries that Mr.. Blaine had not
heard a word from headquarters at In
dianapolis about his entering the cabinet.

Democrats on the Territories.

DSLAOCFdIS Oh CIle 1erIlIOllSS.
The action of the Democrats at their
caucus respecting the territories is re-
garded rs wise and most proper. Under
existing circumstances they could not
possibly justify themselves before the
country in a continued refusal to admit
the pOpulOus and prosperous territories
which are fully competent to comply with
all the requisites of statehood and which
are clamOrous for membership
in the Union. Dclegrte Voor
hees of Washington terri
tory told the caucus that the sole reason
he was defeated for re-elec-
ton was because the house would
not at the last session pass the enabling
act for the territories. Smith of Arizona
told his political friends in the counties
that if the Democrats permitted this ses-
sion to lapse without action on this ques-
ton all the vigorous young common
wealthS which would surely come i'll next
year would be firmly Republican for
generation.

with the expressed intention of the
Democratic caucus of last Thursday
night to support the omnibus bill pro-
viding an enabling act for the admission

Washington apd New Mexico, and of
giving to the people of Dakota the
privilege of determining whether that

Mr.. Springer has prepared an amend

territories shall be held on the first Tues
dav after the third Monday in May, 1889;
that the delegates so elected shall meet in

The SoudGn Campaign to be abandoned to
Sdre the Life of Stanley.
New YORK, Dec. IA London
special says everybody in London believes
Emin Bey and Henry NJ. Stanley are
both prisoners of the mahdi. 1t is at
least certain from Osman Digna S letter
that the mahdi is in possession of num-
Der OF things which Stanley is known to
have carried with him and it is assumed
that both European lives are too valuable
from a hostage point of view to be sacIi-
ffceY for the Soudan. In the light of this
discovery it is probable that the Suakim
fight will be indefinitely postponed. Lord
Randolph Churchill s motion for negOtia-
tions is to be discussed Monday and it is
certain therefore nothing will be done till
after that.
In the Commons.
LONDON, Dec. 15.-In the house of
commons to-day, Lord Randolph Chur-
chill asked whether the reports of the
capture of EmIn Pasha and Mr.. Stanley
were well founded, and also whether the
government would negotiate with Osman
Digna for the release Of the Europeans at
KahrtOum before the beginning of hos
tilities.
Mr.. Goschen, acting government
leader, replied that the information re-
ceived by the government was so uncer-
tain that it would be impossible to sus-
pend operations for the relief of Suakim
during the many weeks that would elapse
before the fate of the explorers could be
ascertained.
John Morley pressed the government
4 of lin
Monday next.
Mr.. Goschen replied that the request
could not be complied with, but. he
promised no instructions would be given
to hurry operations.
| Mr.. Morley-May l take it then that
| the government will do the best they can
| tn prevent the commencement of HOSTILE
ties without tying the hands of the mill
| tary authorities!
Mr.. Goschen-I cannot tie the hands of
| the military authorities. L shall not go

ready made.

had come to the unanimous conclusion
that Mr.. Parnell and the other Nation
aIists, who were released from Kilmain-
ham jail, were free of all completely in
crime, writes he had found it impossible

Shot While Stealing Chickens.


On Sundas night, Nov 18Th, William
Vanzile and Jacob Vanzile, both young
men and first cousins. living at Brook
Valley, settlement in the mountains
above Boonton. started out on a chicken
stealing expedition in the vicinity of Pomp
ton They first attacked the chicken house
of farmer Linden, on the Samuel Van
Ness farm it being arranged that Jacob
should enter The chicken house, and get
the chickens, while William waited and
watched outside Between them was ar
ranged series of signals by whistling A
whistle from William would denote That
all was quicl along the line. The whistle
came and was duly answered. but farmer
Linden hearing noise outside armed
himself with pistol, and came on the
scene just in time to take a hand in the
wliiStling programme. He heard Jacobs
answering whistle and answered it in res
turn, and Jacob thinking it was his pal
walked up TO him loaded down with chick
ems. Finding he had met the wrong man
he started to run and was commanded to
drop the chickens, which he refused to do,
whereupon Linden fired. The bullet
struck Jacob in the back and brought him
to grass. He was badly wounded, and
was taken to his home by Linden, the man
who shot him. Physicians have tried in
vain TO locate the bullet. and thele is said
to be little hope of his recovery. William
Yanzile is an old hand at chicken stealing.
and ii is said that he got Jacob into the
business.

The Storm.

The storm of Sunday and Monday last
was wide spread and wrought considerable
damage. It seems to have started some
where in The extreme South, and worked
its way up the coast. All the telegraph
lines between Sandy Hook and Quarantine
and New York city were torn down.
The wind blew gale all along the coast,
and the result was considerable damage 10
slipping. Many vessels were robbed OF
portions of their rigging, and not few
suffered loss Of everything valuable on
their decks The Western Union wires
were considerably damaged, and there was
very rough sea on New York Bay. A
canal boat was broken up and the boats
scattered in all directions, some going to
the bottom, but no lives were lost. by
reason of the crew being taken on board
of the tow >boat. A large fishing schooner
was wrecked off the Eastern coast and
several lives lost. and several sailing yes
sells are reported wrecked with more or less
loss of life.

The record Of lie Pennsylvania High
License law in cutting down the number
of saloons in philadelphia from 5000 tc
|. 300 is a most gratifying one, butt counts
for little compared with The far more
weighty proof Of The efficiency Of The law
in the diminulion OF drunkenness and
crime. During'the five full months that
the law has been in operation from June
10 November l. the commitments to the
County Prison show decrease of 5000,
or sixtystwo per cent. over the correspond
ing period of last year. In the same time
the commitments to the House of Correcs
lion show elimination Of $40, or sixty
eight per cent. The commitments Of white
women to both the above places were res
duced more than one>half, a proof Of the
diminution of street walking and the inn
provement of the morals Of the city.
These figures, recited in the report of the

whelming vindication OF the wisdom of
the law which this society SO successfully
labors to enforce. - PhikadslpAsa Press.
