PROTECTION IN EUROPE.
Minister Thayer Writes to the State De.
partment on an Interesting Topic.

Hon. Samuel R. Thayer, United States min
lister at The Hague sends to the State depart
ment copy of an editorial article taken from
the organ Of the conservative party. He says:
"a return to protection in this country, ad-
vocated by this conservative journal, would
seem by no means hopeless, at least in modified
form. The editorial in question, as you will
perceive, takes for its text, 80 to speak, q cita-
ton from the Kolnische Zeitung, a paper pub
lished at Cologne, Germany, and very frequently
quoted in dispatches to the press Of the United
States. This is intended to exhibit the state of
feeling in Germany on the tariff question. and
shows that even those in favor Of free trade
advocate their principles very freely just now,
because of the satisfactory result flowing from
the protective system. The editorial claims
that the same experience obtains in France,
Belgium and Italy, and that Sweden, long q
free trade stronghold, has returned to protec-
ton"

THE CHICKASAW ELECTION.
Triumph of the Progressive Party-The
Allotment Problem to be Solved.

CHICAGO, Aug. 30.-A dispatch from Little
Rock, Ark, says. Advices received from Tisho-
mingo, Chickasaw Nation, say that the official
returns from the recent election for members
Of the lower house of the Chickasaw legislature
show decisive majority for the progressive
party. The result entirely changes the politi-
cal status of that body, inasmuch as the pro-
gressive party has a majority of two or three in
the senate and will now control the house.
The returns bring to the front VIM. Guy, the
leader of the progressive party, who made the
fight against the Byrd or Pullback party, and
who will year hence, it is stated, be a candi-
date for the governorship, out of which he was.
as his friends claim, swindled by means of =
Pullback legislature, aided by the United States
government. and the Office given to VIM. Byrd.
The canvass preceding the election was by all
odds
THE INTEREST EVER KNOWN
in the Chickasaw Nation. Gov. Byrd led the
Pullback party, and around him the ull-bloods
rallied almost TO a man. Ex-Gov. Guy was the
recognized leader of the progressive:organiza-
ton, and under his banner were found all the
half-breeds and every white man in the terri
tory. There were twenty Representative elected,
five from each OF the four counties In the
nation. OF these the progressive party elected
twelve, and If contests are made perhaps If
teen. The issues were not alone of local
character, but also turned on the question of
allotment of the Chickaaw lands in severalty
and if the returns mean anything it is that
majority of the Chickasaw electors favor that
principle. The Chickasaws have already shown
that they were willing to sell their surplus lands
to the government, and it appears from the re-
cent vote that they will be the first tribe to
solve the allotment problem.
The legislature meets at Tishomingo in Sep
t9rnber. The session promises to be the most
momentous in Chickasaw history. In addition
to the sale OF lands and the allotment in sever
atty the question Of Merchandising the white
citizen will also be discussed.

THE SPEAKERSHIP CAMPAIGN.
How the Interests Of Candidates Might
be Affected by an Extra Session.

1t has been generally understood that the
several candidates for the speakership Of the
next House favored the calling Of IN extra
session Of Congress. 1t 10 obvious, however,
that II any one was very far in advance
OF the rest in the race the Others
would not then want to have the meeting %
soon, or If any one found himself losing ground
he would want more time to recover before the
hnal struggle came Of. For this reason IL has
been expected that candidates who at :one time
were anxious for an extra session might And
cause for changing their minds.
Some Of the friends OF the other candidates
are pleased at the report that Mr.. Mckinley
has been to see the President to argue against
an extra session. They are pleased to interpret
this as signifying that he is not quite az
sure OF his position as he appeared to be some
time ago. They argue that any man who felt
desire to take advantage of the first oppor-
tunity to mail" his advantage
THE CASE WITH MR. M'KINLEY.
1t does not necessarily follow that Mr.
Mckinley has any especial consciousness Of
being weak. The circumstances are such tina,
an extra session of Congress would
have special disadvantage for him.
II Congress were called together on the 22d OF
October there would be nothing in the Novem.
Ucf cicCtlOub tO luteEIcT6 WIN the Spe6kerenlp
campaigns OF the other candidates. They
could start in as soon as they desired and
have nothing to distract their attention.
But with Mr.. Mckinley the case would
be different The Ohio campaign will be de-
manding all his attention. He would not have
time to spare for conducting canvass at Wash.
ington. 1t would put him at q great
disadvantage to be drawn between the two
contests and would certainly result to the ad-
vantage of hi rivals. Naturally the argument
in favor of an extra session would not appear
as strong to Mr.. Mckinley as to some OF the
other candidates.
MR. REEDS GROWING STRENGTH.
There is growing impression that Mr.. Reed
is gaining strength. If his prospect of success
should become too apparent Mr.. Mckinley
might be joined by other candidates in his
opposition to an extra session. All having an
equal chance they would prefer to have the
thing settled as soon as possible.
The impression is that Mr.. Mckinley is
too much personally interested for his ar
guments to weigh heavily against the rea-
sons the President has mentioned from
time to time for thinking he might call
Congress together. OF course his being a
tariff expert may secure especial consideration
FOR what he says, Notwithstanding this Mr..
Reed and Senator Allison, however, are also
tariff experts, and il they do not change their
minds about the matter the chances appear to
be decidedly in favor Of special call in Octo-
Der.

COONEY, ssTHE FOX"
A RumOr that He IL in Custody, and tina
the Iron Box has been Found.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3o-The rumor is revived that
Patrick Cooney, '"The Fox" Martin Burke and
John =. Beggs' friend and boon companion, is
in the custody Of the police. A the story goes,
Cooney, who ID rather an intelligent man. on
discovering that he was duped into becoming
one OF the murderers Of DIR. Cronin by in
famously false statements to the effect that the
victim was spy, resolved to surrender In
order to expiate his own crime and to bring
Cooney, 1t 10 said. has not been in Jail or in
confinement, but has been staying with some Of
the friends OF the murdered doctor, awaiting
the opportunity to
MAKE AMENDS ron HIS M1spTEps.
Another story is that Cooney has been arrested
on the requisition obtained at Springfield in the
early part Of the week by Superintendent Hub
bard The facts in relation to Cooney, it is
said, were divulged to the prosecuting attor-
Tune and the
afternoon had reference exclusively to that
affair.
Another story that found circulation and is
believed by many is that the galvanized iron
box containing DR.: Cronin's clothes and which
was soldered by the Klahres has been dis
covered.
The police officials and the attorneys for the
prosecution referred to deny anything about
the subject.
The Trial Begun.
When Judge McConnell's court opened this
morning at 10 o'clock, States Attorney Longe-
necker announced that the state was ready to
proceed in the cases Of Coughlin, Beggs, O'Sulli-
van and Burke. Judge Longenecker then
asked the court to appoint as special counsel
Luther Latin Mills, George Ingham and W. j.
Hines. The states attorney explained that the
case was too important for him to try alone
and that his assistants were engaged in other
courts. Mr.. Forrest, for the defense, objected
to having it appear on the record that these
attorneys are appointed by the court and aske
that it appear as usual, that they are engaged
by private parties to assist the state. The
court assented and the record will show that
they are simply recognized as counsel by the
state. 1t was agreed that special venire
should issue for fifty Jurors returnable at 2
o'clock and the prisoners were remanded to
that hour. The rumor that Cooney is in the
custody Of the police or is kept in hiding by
some Of the friends Of the prosecution is not
believed

In Conversation today with STAR reporter
upon the meeting of the republican central

sioner Douglass said:
Il notice in this mornings paper An account
Of Q meeting of members Of the republican

missioners not Diminishing all the dem
ocrats from Office in the District and
to this it has always been considered sort Of
unwritten law that inasmuch as there is one
democrat and one republican civil Commissioner
both parties should be equally represented in the
minor Offices. This seems to me to be
the proper policy TO be pursued in this
which representatives Of both parties NEE,

trations. As to the matter of dismissing or
changing officers 1t must be remembered by
those people who urge this step that the Com
missioners have only besn here since
the 2lst Of May, and, of course,
the first business Of Commissioned
Is to familiarize himself with the affairs Of the
District; in other words, give his attention ia
matters OF public importance and interest, and
the Commissioners have had great many such
matters to attend to and have had but little time
to give to personal affairs, though they have al
times given such matters attention and dis
cussed them with q view to some definite con-
illusions sooner or later.
DEMOCRATS IN OFFICE.
"As.to the number Of republicans and demo.
Gratis respectively in the District government,
on the 21st of May and now" said Mr.. Doug
lass, Il have given that some attention and
have found, il ! am correct-though may be
mistaken-that the minor Offices are pretty
evenly divided, as far as party af6liation can
be ascertained. As to the leading Offices, the
democrats have the larger share, and the prin-
ciple above alluded to would seem
to show that there ought to be
some equalization sooner or later
In making any changes in the Offices, consid-
Grafton would be given to capacity and charac-
ter and ability to fulfill the duties now in hand
or to be entered upon by new men. So that
wherever the Commissioners might contem-
plate any change, it would take some time for
them to find out who are the fittest men to be
retained.
THE KIND OF MEN WANTED.
I'VE want men who are upright, temperate
and competent, and all these considerations
should necessarily induce any set Of commits
sioners to go slow in the matter of appointing to
minor Offices, no matter how well satisfied they
might be that there were political or other suf-
dcient reasons why such changes should be
made. Speaking for myself alone, of course,
until the Offices are equalized, I shall always
prefer republican"

THE PRILLER CASE.
Coroner Patterson Does Not Deem An
Inquest Necessary.


Coroner Patterson viewed the body Of the old
man Heinrich Joseph Priller, who died in the
marsh in the eastern branch as published
in yesterdays STAR, and deemed an inquest
unnecessary. The remains were turned over
to the relatives of the deceased and prepared
for burial by an undertaken.
INTENpANr srouTESBuReH's STATEMENT
As stated in yesterdays STAR Commissioner
Hine called on Intendant Stoutenburgh Of the
Washington asylum for Q report in the case Of
Priller.
As heretofore stated Priller was sent to the
aims house, but in some mysterious manner
was allowed to get away. The Commissioners,
anxious to learn the reason for this, inquired
OF the intendant and today received the follow
ing report from that officer:
Between IL and o'clock pm, August 20,
the police ambulance left at the aim house a
white man about seventy years old. He was a
German and seemed to understand but little
English. Soon after his arrival he was as
signed a room and given the same considera-
ton that all receive. At O'Clock in the even
ing he was still here. During the supper hour
he looked through the rooms and selected an
overcoat belonging to one of the inmates and
left the building by the back wav.
As soon as he was missed several parties were
sent out to bring him back, and he was tracked
nearly up to the mouth of the big sewer, where
all traces of him were lost, but he was heard
from as going toward the city northwest of the
asylum. He was left here during my absence,
and no information could be obtained as to
his mental capacity or where he belonged His
leaving the asylum as he did was regarded as
only that he was anxious to 60 home or pursue
his way. The next day after he left received
the regular aims house permit by mail from
the sanitary officer. Waterman Frank Mem
tee was on duty at the aims house when Priller
left"
TIE COMMISSIONERS WILL INVESTIGATE.
The Commissioners this afternoon In board
session considered Mr.. stoutenburgh's report
at some length and decided upon further in
vsstigstion.
