"When will he be appointed?' was asked.
"That / cannot say" was the reply. Mr..
Kasson has just been commissioned
to represent the United States at the
Berlin conference on the Samoan matter.
and / do not think the President has con-
sidered the question of promoting him to
the office of minister plenipotentiary to the
same place just yet-that is, mean do
not think the President has talked with his
Cabinet about changing the official duties
of Mr.. Kasson. 1t may be, therefore, that
he will be permitted to bring about an un-
derstanding on the Samoan question in his
present capacity before he is assigned to
the more important post. On the other
hand, the Cabinet may think it better
policy that he should have the rank at once,
and in this event the appointment will be
forthcoming immediately

NEW YORK, April 2.-The Rev. DR.. James
McCosh, ex-president of Princeton College,
is lying at his home in Princeton very i'll
from an attack of pneumonia. following an
attack of bronchitis. He is attended by
DR.. Wykof, of Princeton. who was joined
this morning by DR.. McCosh's son-in-law,
DR.. David Magic, of this city. Dr. Magic,
after consultation with DR.. Wykoff, will
return TO this city this evening. Informa-
tion received at the residence of Dr. Magic,
No. % West Fourth street, yesterday even
ing, was to the effect that the condition of
the distinguished patient was not improved;
that he was low and very feeble. Hope of
his recovery has not, however, been aban-
doned. DIR. McCosh left Princeton the 1st
of February to visit q number of Western
colleges. About fifteen days ago, while at
Delaware, o., he had an attack of bron-
chitis. He was very anxious to reach home
as soon as possible. and started two weeks
ago yesterday, arriving at Princeton on
Tuesday, the 10th of March. He had been
taken much worse while on the train, and
the attack of pneumonia Immediately fol-
lowed his reaching home. He was in good
health when he started. and was not sub
ject TO bronchial attacks His condition is
considerably improved. Although he is
very feeble, he rests comfortably. 1t is
thought that the worst of his illness has
been passed, and that he is on the road to re-
COyery.

Evicted Settlers Making Trouble.

Fl. DODGE. Ia, April 2.-The old excite
ment among the river land settlers has
been revived by the resumption of evic-
tions. At an early hour yesterday a large
number of the settlers, fully equipped with
machinery and seed. started to plant crops
in the farms from w hich settlers had been
evicted last fall. This action is in keeping
with the threat that they would repossess
themselves of all lands from which they
were then evicted. The farm of Charles
Pigman, from which VIM. Spainhower was
evicted twice last fall, was first visited
during Mr.. Pigman'S absence on business.
When he returned q few hours later he
found his fields alive with men and teams
sowing crops for the evicted settler. Pig
man came to this city at once and filed in
formation against as many of the settlers
as he knew, and warrants will be issued
for their arrest. The settlers announce
that il is their intention to farm all lands
from which evictions were made, and say
that the officials will be defed if necessary.
Such action will precipitate greater trouble
than ever before known in river land cir
cles. and there is much excitement in con-

far-seeing, cOol-headed and calm in the most

is a man of great ability. wide experience
and unquestionable popularity in his party.
He also has many warm personal friends
outside of political p arties. The editorials he
wrote abusing the Republican Senators who
voted to seat Payne had the effect of di-
recting attention to the fact that he was
unable to control his temper, and the read
ing of these editorials and the letters he
wrote during the war criticising Lincoln,
Grant andOthers were read for the purpose
of indicating his general character and un-
fitness for the diplomatic position, and not
for the purpose of prejudicing any one on
personal grounds. The prejudice of no Sem

pected to vote against him because he had
criticised the actions or the purposes of Sena-
tors at any time, and the representations
by the press to the contrary are untrue"

SENSATION In COURT.
Sample ofSkillful Acting by Criminal Who
Has Had Considerable Experience.

BALTIMORE, April George s. Massa-
more, aged twenty, young man of dudish
appearance, created a sensation in the
Criminal Court, this morning, when SEN
fenced to two years in the penitentiary.
The prisoner was accused of stealing jewell
ry to the value of S225 from Littleton c.
Bandel, of Baltimore. Massamore intro
duced himself to Bandel on the Cd of
last month, and said he was a nephew of a
well-known citizen of Baltimore. They
took a cocktail, when the prisoner slipped
some drug into the drink, and Mr.. Bandel
knew nothing ruore till next morning, when
he awoke in hotel with his shirt-front cut
out, and his diamond stud and gold watch
and chain gone. The prisoner was subse-
quently captured at the Inauguration in
Washington. Later the watch was sent by
some one to the marshal of the police.
Massamore pleaded guilty to the indict-
ment, and came before Judge Phelps and
begged for mercy, imploring the court for
the sake of his respectable relatives to be
lenient. Judge Phelps said as the
prisoner had thrown himself upon
part of the property had been returned, the
court would sentence him TO two ana one
half years in the peDitentiary. These words
fell like thunkerbolt on the ears of the
prisoner. and he broke forth afresh and
cried as if his heart would break. He
begged the court for the sake of his old moth
er to take the six months off. The judges
heart was touched, and he acceeded to the
request, and made the sentence an even two
years Massamore was then seized with an
epileptic tit, and with a scream fell to the
floor. His shrieks and means were pitiful.
Deputy wardens took him to the lookup
while he fought like mailman. He soon
recovered, and during the afternoon was
safely housed in his new quarters. 1t is
stated that Massamore is an old criminal,
and that his picture adorns Inspector
ByrDes's .'art gallery" in New York. His
tit Is supposed to have been q sham.

The result of the election, while surprise
to many, in the face of the overw helming g
Republican majority last November, was
not unexpected by certain elements of the
Republican party. The nomination of Col.
James q. Butler for the mayOralty
was claimed to have been secured
by free use of money, and the
following of ID. p. Slattery, his opponent in
the convention, were bent ON revenge. In
addition to this factor in the contest, Judge
NoOnan represented the liberal. OF saloon
element, while Colonel Butler was a
recognized silk-stOcking, with prohibitory
tendencies. The defeat of General Nc
Neil for auditor, is attributed TO his war
record. On the remainder of the ticket
personal strength entered largely into the
contest, and politics played but small
part. 1t was young mans progressive
policy as against an old mans conservative
ideas of municipal government.
