MRS. HARRISON MOURNs.
Her Sister Dies Suddenly at the
National CAPITAL.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.--Mrs. Scott
Lord. sister of the wife of President
Harrison, died at her residence in this
city at 8 o'clock this morning. Although
not unexpected her death was sudden,
and at the time only her daughters.
Mrs. Dimmock and Mrs. Parker and
her son-in-law, Lieut.. John F. Parker,
of the navy, were with her. Mrs. Har-
rison was with Mrs. Lord until mid
night, In company with their father, DIR.
Scott. and only half an hour before she
expired Maj. and Mrs. Richard Parker
had been sitting with Mrs. Lord, and
when they left she was in an apparently
painless sleep. 1t has been known for
several days that she could not recover.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Mrs. Lord
was seized with malaria early in the
summer, and has suffered from the ef-
fects of it ever since. Mrs. Lord, ac-
companIed by Mrs. Harrison. went to
Nantucket, Mass. but the benefit was
only temporary, and she returned to
New York. She was brought here two
weeks ago in helpless state. She was
known to be seriously i'll, but not
thought to be dangerous until
within few days. Last week Mrs.
Harrison intended to accompany the
president to Chicago, but changed
her mind on Friday morning and re-
manned in Washington and minlstered
to her sister. Mrs. Lord was the widow
of r. f. Lord, formerly president Of the
Delaware & Hudson Canal company.
After her husbands death at Homes
dale, Pa, some eight years ago. she re
mo ed to Washington and resided with
her father, DIR. Scott, until Mr.. Har-
risOn's nomination, when she went to
Indianapolis and assisted her sister
Washington. Mrs. Lord came with
them and spent month or two at the
White house after the Inauguration.

LONGSHOREMEN ON STRIFE.
Two Thousand of Them Quit
Work at Savannah.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Dec. 10.-TwO thou
sand 'longshoremen went on strike to-
day. Not bale of cotton was loaded.
The trouble had its origin in the deter
mination of the stevedores to stand by
the ship merchants as against the own
ers of vessels in the custom of custody
of fees. The British steamship Thalia
caught fire last month before the cargo
was loaded, and the steyedOres, having
finished the contract, refused. Saturday
last, to load the hold from which the
damaged cotton was taken. The master
of the vessel began loading with nOn-
union men Monday, and the 'Longshore-
mems association to-day ordered a
strike. The new men quit work and
left the vessel. 1t is fight to break up
the custom of custody fees and 215 per
cent value of cargo to charterers of YES
sells, the 'longsboremen siding with the
charterers. 1t is not believed that the
strike will last longer than day or two.
A STRIKE AND A LOCKOUT.
WoBURNM, Mass, Dec 10.-The men,
bers of the Knights of Labor employed
i'm the leather factories of Houston &
Co. and Skinner 81 Co. went on strike
this morning, and those working for
Shaw & Co. intended going out to-mOr-
row. Tonight, however. Shaw 81 Co.
announce that their establishment ill
close down for an indefinite period, thus
locking out their men. The trouble
grows out of the new price list just
agreed upon by the leather manufac-
turerS' association, under which the
mtn would receive from so cents to 80
per week less than under the knights
of Labor list.

Montana Republicans Adopt a
New Scheme to Break the Dead
lock.
Special 10 the Globe.
HELENA, Mont, Dec. 10.-There is a
well founded report tonight that the
Republican senators will cause the ar
rest of one of the Democratic senators
tomorrow by the sergeant-at-arms and
have him brought into the senate in
order to break the senatorial deadlock.
The Democratic senators say as they
have not yet taken the oath neither the
senate nor its officer has any control over
them, and should the sergeant-at-arms
attempt to carry out his instructions
there is probability of conflict. To
morrow the Democratic house of repre-
sentatives will have the speaker ap-
point the standing committees and as
soon as this is done, bills will be intro.
duced and rushed along TO their second
reading. The senatorial boom started
for Carter has fallen to the ground. His
friends WHO had hoped to land him in
the United States senate became dis
eouraged when they discovered how
weak he was with the majority of the
Republican legislators. 1t was sup
posed that Carter could step into the
breach between the struggling con-
testants and thus become very avail
able and satisfactory candidate. No
objections to Carter were found by the
MEN WHO STARTED THE BOOM
until they sent out few feelerS among
the Republican senators and represen-
tativeS. Then it happened that Carter's
boom collapsed with the suddenness of
dynamite blast. Some one whispered
something about Carter's silver record,
and that did the business. 1t was de-
cided without an inStant's delay that
the supporter of Reed for speakes
should be drawn from the race. It was
considered dangerous to approach
such men as senator, who Just
quit the Democratic, party be-
cause of Cleveland's views on silver,
and who is as disgusted with Harrison
and Window as he ever was with the
Democratic president, and it was feared
that Carter's action in opposing the
silver interests would be brought out in
such manner as to split up the caucus.
1t would make his candidacy not only
hopeless but would greatly iniure the
party. The boomers found that the
Republicans of Browns opinion were
thicker in Montana than mosquitoes in
a Jersey marsh. Many of them believed
that Carter had forever ruined his pO-
litical career by allying himself with
Reed and the anti-Silver men. The
whole thing becomes subject of Tidi-
cule among those Republican politicians
who can see farther than most of their
brethren.

SISSEToN AGENCY, S. D., Dec. TO-
At the joint council this morning bet
ween the federal commission appointed
to treat for the opening of the SissetOn
reservation and all the adult Indians on
the reservation. Gen. Whittlesey, chair
man Of the commission, explained the
offer of the government for the purchase
of the surplus lands. The government
agrees to pay back annuities of S360,000
at once, with bonus of twelve years
extension of S1S,400 per year, and to
ratIfy the claim of $1,000 against the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway
company for right-of-way through the
reservation. Every resident Indian, re-
gardleSs of sex or age, is to have
one hundred and sixty acres, and
after the allotments are completed all the
surplus land, amounting to about 100000
acres, is to be sold. The interest of the
fund at per cent. together with such
portion OF the principal as congress
deems necessary, shall go for the sup
port and education of the Indians.
Chairman Whittlesey also stated that
the former scout bill under the man
agement of Gen. Sanborn died lie
Fiftieth congress on the 4th of
last March. The commissioners
proposition is altogether a new thing
having nothing to do with a scout
claim. for it recommends that the an
nuities shall accrue TO the people at
large. Rev. Charles Crawford, him
self scout and an influential leader
of the Indians, asked the chairman to
explain more fully respecting the dispo-
sitiOn of the annuities, so that every
man could make up his mind under
standingly how to vote. Gen. Whittle-
sey made everything plain again,
and asked those who proposed to
sell what would be the price
asked. The Indians wanted a
few hours time to further consider the
point in a special council. Amid much
excitement a ballot was taken, the vote
being 147 in favor of selling and Ill
against. The minority yielded. and
this afternoon in special council, and
after an animated discussion, the In
dians voted to sell all their lands at S.

A Case of Unusual Interest Argued
in the Supreme Court

WASHINGTON. Dec. 10.-Argument
was continued in the United States SUI
preme court to-day in the case of Samuel
ID. Davis, appellant, against III. q. Ben
son, sheriff of Oneida county. Idaho
territory, involving the constitutionality
of territorial laws prohibiting Mormons
from voting. Davis was convicted and
sent to Jail in 1889 on an Indictment for
conspiracy charging him and sun
dry other persons with having combined
TO be unlawfully admitted to regis
tration as voters. Davis unlawful act
consisted in taking an oath that he was
not a member of any organization
practicing the doctrine of plural mar
riages. " hen he was IN fact member
or the Mormon church. The case comes
here on application for writ of hebeaS
corpus based on the ground, first, that
the facts in the indictment do not con-
stitute criminal Otfense under any law
of the territory, and second, that so
much of the statutes of the territory as
prohibit members of bodies be-
lieying in plural marriages from
voting is "a law respecting an estab-
lishment of religion in violation of the
first amendment to the constitution, and
void.

BUTLER, Pa, Dec. 10.-At quarter
past 8 o'clock this morning Butler was
shaken from center to circumference by
nitro o-glycerine explosion at the Butler
Torpedo company's magazine, two
miles south OF town. The explosion
occurred when cans were being put
into the wagons at the factory. James
o. Woods and William Medill and their
wagon and team were blown into un-
recognizable fragments. The woods i'm
the vicinity of the magazine are being
searched by hundreds of men for the
remains of the men, and the greatest
excitement prevails. The larger part
of the factory buildings are demolished.
The factory was crushed down and only
the smokestack remains intact. The
rafters of the magazine fell down over
the glycerine there, but it did not ex-
plOde. Woods shoulder and right arm
have been found twenty rods away. A
small part of Medill's trunk was taken
from the top of tree. The theory is
that Woods let can of the explosive
drop when handing it up to Medill,
who was in the wagon. A great hole
