and the court adjourned till Friday. when the
other Parnellites will deny, and the courts will
express an opinion on the letters as part of the

President-eiect to the Train.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-At 10 o'clock this morn
ing Nice-President-elect Levi p. Morton started
from the Pennsylvania railroad depot in Jer-
sey City for Washington. 1t was expected that
there would be large delegation accompany
ing him, but the large crowd which had con-
gregated at the depot were disappointed when
they SAW only three carriages containing My.
Morton's family and servants. who alighted
and entered the private car of Viee-President

Morton traversed the depot platform the rail-
road employees lifted their caps When the
party was seated small army of newspaper
men surrounded the car. Mr. Norton rec
ognized them and at once came out on the plat
form. After shaking hands with the scribes, he
stood for several minutes conversing with them.
He was chary about talking on public affairs.
and mentioned i'll this connection nothing of
general interest His wife and children he said
would return TO this city about ten days after
the inauguration. Among those who went on
the same train. but not in the private car were
Mr. and Mrs. A. r. Whitney and Mr. and Mrs.

CHARGES AGAINST DAKoTANs.
The Canadians Say They Have Been
Across the Line Stealing Timber.


OTTAWA, ONT, Feb. pa report issued
last night from the interior department con-
tains the following: 1T is a well-known fact
that in addition to the disadvantage under
which the territory of Dakota is placed ON ae-
count of the frequent and fatal billiards which
visit it during the winter season, and the cy-
clones to which it is subject in summer, the
absence OF a fair supply of wood for purposes
of fuel forms q serious drawback 10 its sue
cessful settlement. For some years past set
tiers in that territory have been accustomed 70
supplement their inadequate fuel supply by
systematic stealings from the public lands on
the Canadian side Of the boundary and 10 such
proportions had this custom grown that it was
found necessary during the past year
to concert measures to put stop TO it. Ac-
cordingly, an arrangement was brought 30 .
conclusion in September last between the de-
partment of customs, the Department of the
Interior, and the northwest mounted police,
under which detachment Of police, detailed
for service along the boundary between Mani
toba and Dakota, il the locality lying between
ranges five and nine, inclusive, west Of the first
meridian. A commissioner of the mounted po-
lice visited the district in November last, and
has reported to the comptroller that the coop
Grafton of the force had not been demanded
too soon, the destruction of timber by Ds-
kota settlers had been enormous, in addition 10
which there was extensive smuggling and other
evasions of our laws. Since then quite q num-
ber of arrests have been made Of timber thieves
and smugglers and the depletion of our COM
paratively limited supply Of timber on the
Canadian side has been greatly checked"

A Hotel Robbery.

ARREST OF YOUNG 5IAN wEo WILL BE HELD
UNTIL AFTER THE INAUGURATION.
The first arrest of an alleged crook who the
police claim came here to do the town during
the inauguration, was made to-day by Detec-
tives Mahon and Carter. The prisoner is a
neatly dressed young man, stranger to the
officers. The detectives arrested him about II
o'clock in the Belvedere hotel, where they
found him asleep in his ROOM Pie arrest was
the result of an investigation made of robbery
that occurred in the hotel last night. The
house was pretty well crowded, and to make room
for another guest the bartender, Nh. ]. H. Staples
occupied bed III the room OF Mr.. j. W. Cody
one of the regular boarders. This morning
about O'Clock when the bartender awoke he
reached for his vest pocket to get his watch.
but it had been stolen during the night. He
called to his roommate. whom he knew we'll
and informed him of the robbery. In mo-
ment Cody learned that his watch had also
been stolen during the night. Complaint was
made and the detectives went to the hotel and
investigated the matter. They learned who
the guests in the house were except one
young nina, who bad arrived ON tho 10
O'Clock train Sunday night and engaged
q room. He registered as SIS. W. Reed
Pa" When taken from bed the young man ex-
pressed surprise. He put on his clothing. but
did not have an overcoat. Neither did he have
any baggage. The detectives took him to po-
lice headquarters where he admitted TO the
| sumed name. He said that he was from Penn
sylvania: that this his first visit to this
city. When searched the officers found in his
pocket card bearing the names of the follow
| ing ministers: John W. Phillips, Grace church;
]. W. Clark, St. James church ". A. Leonard
st. Johns church, and w. A. Bartlett, New
York Avenue Presbyterian church. He told
! the officers that he was going to call on the
ministers for assistance, as he did not have any
money. The officers also found on him four
teen pawn tickets for articles pawned in vari-
GUS cities. Among them were seven tickets for
overcoats and other clothing, on which about
$50 had been loaned in New York; one ticket
of Harrisburg pawnshop for a gold watch;
one on which S1G.75 had been loaned; one on a
Boston pawnshop for an overcoat, and four of
Philadelphia shops Cor overcoats. There was
one ticket showing that he had pawned an
overcoat in this city in December last, and
when his attention was called to that ticket he
remembered having been here at that time.
He was locked up to be held until the inaugu-
rad ceremonies are over.

THE COWLES BILL CONTEST.
Likely to be Renewed In the House To.
day.

The session is rapidly slipping away. and Mr.
Randall is beginning to display signs of anxiety
about his internal revenue bill. The contend
ing parties are getting into line, and the fight
is likely to occur before to-day's session termi-
mates. AS soon as the Indian appropriation
bill is disposed of Mr.. Crisp will move to pro-
ceed with the consideration Of the California
contested-election case. Mr.. Randall will then
raise the question of consideration, stating that
he proposes to go into the committee of the
whole to take up the substitute of the
Cowles bill. Mr.. Mills and his friends do not
intend to resort to filibustering. but there are
several conference reports ready to be called
up, and other questions of privilege, including
several acts, messages, and Appropriation bills,
which have the right of way, hence it appears
that the Randall proposition will encounter
many rough knocks before final vote can be
taken.
ATTITUDE OF THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE.
Messrs Breckinridge and Scott, of the ways
and means committee, stated to a STAR re-
porter to-day that Mr.. Randall will not be al
lowed to pass his internal revenue bill unless
he couples it with certain tariff provisions.
The effort made to secure the signatures of a
majority of the democratic members to peti-
ton requesting Speaker Carlisle to recognize
Mr.. Rancalrs bill, appears to have failed. Up
to o'clock to-day only forty names had been
secured. Mr.. Cowles
WENT TO SPEAKER CARLISLE
and urged him to allow Mr.. Randall's motion
to prevail. The Speaker inspected the list and
decided that under the circumstances he could
not depart from his original proposition, which
was that he would cheerfully recognize Mr..
Randall if a majority of the democrats recon-
mended it. The Speaker suggested that a COM
promise might be reached by caucus, but Mr..
Cowles stated that he was not authorized to
accept such O proposition. He therefore in
formed the Speaker that the friends of the in
ternal revenue bill would be compelled to take
issue with the ways and means committee
Chairman Herbert is prepared to antagonize
Mr.. Randall with the conference report on the
naval appropriation bill.

A GREAT. AMATEUR.
Joe Choynsld BADLY Whips Frank
Glover I'm San Francisco.

SAN Francisco, Feb. 27.-Frank Glover was
badly whipped in the California club last even
ing by Joe Choynski, prominent local ANA
teur. The latter entered the professional ranks
10 meet Glover and gave him a terrible beat
ing. Though 10 pounds heavier Glover was
never really in the fight. Choynski outsparred
him. outfought at long and short range and hit
three times as hard. Glover was knocked out
in the fourteenth round and had TO be carried
from the ring. He lost half his teeth and his
face was beaten to jelly. He will probably be
confined to bed for a week. Choynski escaped
without scratch, barring a slight confusion
over the left eye. He is only twenty years old,
and this is his first professional battle. Glover
was in good form, and Choynski's victory will
give him backing for any amount over almost
any l70-pound man in the country. The fight
created great interest here because of the fact
that Choynski was born and bred here. and be-
cause Glover had made SO piucky fight against

termined 10 regain entire possession of the
