Stricken Ranchman.
DENVER, Col, March 20.-A race for
life attracted the attention of ranchmsn
near Denver yesterday, when A. F. Stark
worth attempted to murder ranchman
by the name of Ellis Norton. The two
men had previously had some misunder.
standing which eugendered bad feelings.
They lived near each other and met
frequently, but no trouble of a serio Us
nature was anticipated by the friends Of
either party.
Early yesterday morning Norton hitched
leisurely into Denver when he heard q
farm wagon rapidly approaching from
behind. Helooked, aud thinking the noise
was caused by some ranchmen, paid no at
tention until the team which was fast
overhauling him, was within 100 yards
Then it flashed through his mind instantly
that it was the intention of Starkworth to
meet him on the plains, and, not being
armed. he whipped up his horses to their
highest speed. His pursuer called upon
him to stop, which warning was not
needed.
the bullet whixxed alongside his head.
This spurred him to redoubled efforts.
He applied his whip vigorously. Pur.
sued and pursuer raced for nearly mile.
when Starkworth fred q second shot.
Gradually Norton's team drew away from
his enemy and dashed into town at fear
full rata running over dogs and every
thing that CHANGED to be in the way.
When he sighted . policeman he stopped
his horses, explained the circumstances te
him. and about twenty-five minutes later
the officer perceived Starkworth driving
rapidly down the street ana placed him
under arrest

Why schuxler.s Name Was Withdrawn.

WASHINGTON, March a0.-The President
has withdrawn from the Senate the nomi-
nation OF Eugene Schuyler to be Assistant
Secretary of State 1t is learned that the
Committee on Foreign Relations, after
consideration Of the case, asked that the
nomination be withdrawn, coupling the
request, it is understood, with an intima.
ton that otherwise it would be reported
adversely. This action was taken on ac-
count Of an assault made by Mr.. Schuyler,
in his book entitled american Diplom-
acy," upon the late Eihu B. Washburne,
rejecting upon his official conduct while
Secretary of State together with ref1ec-
tions upon the administration of President
Grant and the Senate and also, it is said,
on account Of charges affecting Mr..
Schuyler's personal conduct in Europe.

miliar faces were those of ex-senator

officer. therefore bespeak, in advance,
the indulgent consideration which you
have always been ready to entend to the
occupant of this chair.

new senators were sworn in. The mes.
sage of the president, converting the
senate in extra session, was then read,
and the senate having completed its
organization, the vice-president an
nounced that it would proceed to the
east front of the capitol, where the presi-
dent of the United States would be
sworn in. The procession was then
