Bayard stated tonight that the state
department had gone to the extreme
limit of its discretion in trying to ar
range the trouble over the Samoan
islands in dignifed and honorable
manner. The senate had been fur
nished with all the correspondence on
the subject, aud it now remained for
that body to define the policy of
the government in dealing with
the subject further. Mr.. Bayard stated
that the commission representing the
United States, German and English
governments, which convened in this
city last summer with view to adjust
ing the differences at Samoa, had en-
tered into an agreement to the effect
that the protocol should be regarded as
confidential, which accounted for the
absence of that document from the cor
respondence and other papers Oh this
subject which have already been trans
mitted to the senate. The conference
was with view to establishing an in
dependent form of government at
Samoa, and having those islands regard
ed neutral territory by the three coun-
tries interested. An agreement of that
up to the present time neither the Ger
man nor the English government had
notified the United States that
THE CONDITIONS
then entered into have been dissolved.
Mr.. Bayard says he requested several
times the German and English repre-
SentativeS of the commission to allow
the protocol to be given to the public,
but they insisted upon regarding it as
sacred. Mr.. Bayard pronounces the
long dispatch from Samoa yesterday a
rehash of an old story, which was fully
detailed in the correspondence trans
mitted to the senate. Secretary Whit
ney was also interviewed. He said he
thought the time had arrived for this
government to establish and maintain a
definite line of policy with regard
to the islands of the Pacific
ocean. He commended Capt. Mullan's
conduct at LatOnga, and said the United
States steamer Nipsic has been in
structed to remain at Samoa. where she
will be shortly joined by the Trenton
and the Vandalia. The Trenton is now
one week out from Panama, bound for
Samoa. and the Vandalia has sailed
from Mare island, Cal, Secretary Whit
ney says the three vessels ordered to
Samoa will probably be sufficient to
protect American interests there in case
of an emergency. The impression pre-
walls in cabinet circles that Germany
has exceeded the bounds of propriety,
and a member of the cabinet remarked
tonight: IAN issue should be made
with her at once"

WINDOW Is PLEASED,
And Says the Sabin Men should
Move Slowly.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Jan. Colon. William
Window, of Minneapolis, ex-secretary
of the treasury, is at the Richelieu.
The gentleman says he is here on
purely private business, and is on his
way to New York. He expects to meet
William King. of st. Paul, here, but
there is no significance in that. as the
two gentlemen are interested together
in business. Mr.. Window talked of
the exceptionally warm weather the
Northwest was enjoying this winter,
and then alluded to the hot contest over
the senatorship as though one had af-
fected the other. He said, however,
that the hot time was now over.
that the caucus had done the busi-
ness. Mr.. Window was of the
opinion that there would be no
boiling, and that Mr.. Washburn, the
caucus nominee, would slip easily into
the chair. for all the talk and pow-wOw
about bribery on the part of the Sabin-
ties. Mr.. Window did not think the
Sabin men would push their charges,
and gave it as his opinion that it would
not only not be wise for them to do so,
but it would not be safe. 1t is well
known that Mr.. Window has been all
through a strong Washburn man, and
he declared that change in the senator
from his state was almost a necessity.
Mr.. Sabin, he said, was not at his post
half the time, and as for Mr. Washburn,
he had done more and could do more
for the state of Minnesota than Sabn
ever could. Mr.. Window was congratu-
lating himself that the affair was prac-
tically ended, and ended satisfactorily;
"for," said he, II have no fear now of
the result. though at one time in the
caucus it did look very doubtful who

FIVE CHARRED CORPSES.
Terrible Charge against a Young
School Teacher.

BRooKFIELD, Mo-, Jan. 2O.-At 1890
last night the house of Mrs. Mime
Hall, young widow with four
children, four miles south of here,
was burned down and when the
neighbors gathered there they
found the charred remains of
its five occupants. The oldest child
was eight years old, and the youngest
about two. There being fresh snow on
the ground, it was discovered that they
had been placed under the house and
fire set to it. There was scattered hay
from shed to the house. The tracks
of a mans foot were seen leading to-
wards the city, and four men followed
them, which resulted in young man
named James A. Howell being arrested
about 8 o'clock this morning by Marshal
Critchfield in room at the Babb hotel.
He had in his possession an unloaded
revolver. He was going to take the
early morning train, he said, for La
Clede, and would walk from there
south to the Prairie Mound school
house neighborhood, where he had been
teaching school. The accused is
cousin of the woman burned to death.
Public opinion inclines to the theory
that after a criminal operation from
which the woman died. Howell shot the
four children and set fire to the house
to cover his crime. He had for
some time been spending Saturdays
and Sundays with the murdered family.
There is high fever of excitement
among the farmers, and several from
the neighborhood have been around the
Jail here to-day. The prisoner is
twenty-four ye rs old. He says he is
innocent and knows nothing about the
crime; seems to be very cool,
and not at all nervous. To-
night the Jail is well guarded
to prevent mob violence. The five
bodies were burned beyond recognition
and were put in box all together.
Evidences of an abortion were seen in a
vessel which had not been destroyed by
the fire. There is to be preliminary
hearing of the case against Howell here
tomorrow.

THE MORMON CHURCH.
Argument in the Supreme Court
Regarding the Edmunds Act.

Regarding the FumunuS Act'
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Argument
has been concluded in the supreme
court OF the United States in the case OF
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints, appellants, VS.. the United
States, brought here on appeal from
the supreme court of the territory of
Utah. BY the terms of the Edmunds anu
polygamy act the church corporation
was dissolved, and its property es-
cheated to the United States. Col. ..
H. Broadhead and ex-senator McDoii-
aid, of Indiana, appeared for the ap-
pellants. They argued that congress,
by the dissolution of the church corpor-
alton, had assumed judicial power; that
the act of the legislative assembly OF
Utah incorporating the church was in
the nature of contract which could
not be impaired, and that therefore the
corporation could not be dissolved
by legislative enactment. The doc
trlne of escheat counsel further
maintained had never been applied in
this country to religious and charita-
BILE corporation. The only thing the
government could do was to hold this
property till an equitable claimant was
found, and, in this case, the title never
having been held by the corporation,
but by trustees. who filed claims for the
members in the court below, there was
no color of right for its seizure and pos
session by the government. This was
the first time in the history of this na-
ton that an attempt had been made to
CONFISCATE THE PROPERTY
of religious corporation. said eX-Sena-
tor Mcdonald, could not be perpetrated
without the sanction of the court, and
he believed the court would never
sanction it. Solicitor General jerks,
for the United States, argued that con-
gress had the constitutional right TO
dissolve this corporation. He main
tanned that the clauses of the constitu-
ton giving congress the right to legis-
late for the territories gave
it power to repeal territorial en-
actments. He declared, moreover. that
as the constitution of Utah provided
that acts passed by the legislative as
sembly should be null and void if disap-
proved by congress, the express power
to repeal territorial acts had been
thereby conferred upon the legislature
of the federal government. 1t was for
congress to determine when and under
what circumstances it would exercise
this power. He also cOntended that the
act of incorporation of the church was
invalid because in conflict with
the provision of the consti-
tuition forbiding the establish
ment of a religion. He furthermore
asserted that the corporation was right
full dissolved for misuse and abuse of
its corporate power, and that the cor
poration might also be dissolved under
the general police powers of the consti-
tuition. The corporation being lawfully
dissolved, he maintained that there was
nothing left for the United States to do
but to appoint a receiver to take charge
of the property of the corporation, for
the reason that the dissolution of the
corporation left no officers in whose
control the property might be placed.

Campbell to morrow, who will, under

the bill granting pension of $500 per
annum to Mrs. Sheridan, and ask that it

sion. The stories which have recently
been circulated picturing Mrs. Sheridan
as being in destitute circumstances. are
entirely unfounded. 1t is true that Gen.
Sheridan did not leave his widow in
very good financial circumstances, but
it Is also fact that good friend subse-
quent to the generals death invested a
handsome amount in the name of Mrs.
Sheridan, and the latter is now drawing
interest therefrom. which, in itself, is
quite sufficient, not only to keep the
