in London political circles that the
holidays of the chief members of the
government will soon end, and that the
autumn cabinets" will begin at an ear
lier period this year than usual; but
this may be simply due to the general
expectation that the queens speech
next year will set forth programme of
more than ordinary Importance. After
all, the main lines of great measures are
more often settled in confidential con-
versatiOn at country houses than at for
NAL cabinet meetings. Should the gov
ernment decide not to take Mr.. Gray's
tlthes bill in hand next session, it will
be brought in at the commencement of
the session either by Mr.. Gray himself
or one of the other Conservative men,
bers who have backed the measure.
The friends of the bill argue that there
can be no possible excuse for neglect
ing it. Even if the government decide
to deal with the subject by cOmprehen-
Sive legislation next session, 1t is said It
some reasonable method of recovery
were first hit upon. The measure is
BACKED BY INFLUENTIAL MEMBERS
on both sides of the house, and it might
be passed-so argue the advOcates-in
two or three days at the beginning OF
the session. The government, how
ever, fight as shy of giving any definite
pledge in private as they did in the
house itself. The fact seems to be
that while Lord Salisbury would be
glad of any bill which would improve
the position of the clergy, he cannot
count upon the house of lords. As soon
as the attorney generals amendments
were placed upon the paper, rumors be-
came prevalent of serious opposition in
the upper house, not only on the part
of Conservative, but still more Of
UnioniSt peers. Lord SaliSbury's ex-
perience with the land transfer bill
has convinced him that where the land
ed interest is concerned he cannot count
too implicitly on the loyalty of
his supporters, or probably a seri-
Gus attempt would have been made
to pls,s an amended bill through
parliament during the session re-
Gently closed. Similar reasons will
amply explain the refusal of the gov
ernment to give any promises with re-
gard to next year, although their hesi-
tatiOn is giving umDrage to an lnttu-
ential body of their supporters. On
neither of the three popular routes from
London to Paris do the Monday night

conveyed from London to Paris and

FORT LEAvENwORTH, Kan, Sept. IA.
The statue of Gen. Grant, erected in
honor of the memory of the great gen.
eral. was unveiled to-day. The cere-
monies were impressive, and yet lack
ing that ostentation which the plain
Grant so much disliked. Excursions
had been made up from the adjoining
states of Missouri and Nebraska, and
the city was taxed to its utmost In en-
tertaining the thousands of visitors.
The occasion was made holiday in the
city of Leavenworth. and as much a
holiday as the discipline of the troops
ever allows. The public buildings in
the city were suitably decorated, and
from each staff on, the fort floated the
national colors. At l o'clock in the
afternoon the troops from Fort Leaven-
worth, under command of Gen. A. Med.
McCook, commanding officer at the
post, were formed to prepare for the
part they were to take in the >ceremo-
niles. They consisted OF five companies
of infantry, four troops of cavalry and
city procession was formed at the
same hour. 1t was made up of five
divisions, as follows:
FIRsT-The Home veterans.
SEcoND-Visiting and resident G.. A. r.
posts and the sons of veterans.
THIRD-The band and club of Leaven-
worth Knights Templars and knights of
Pythias. -
: FouRTH-The Garfield rifles and benevo-
lent societies.
FIFTH-The mayors Of Kansas City, Leav-
enwOrth and several MAYORS from Kansas
and their respective city Councils, and the
employees Of this city.
The line of march was from the cor
ner of Main and Shawnee streets to the
railway station, where ranks were
broken, and the special trains entered
which were to carry the people to the
fort, where the government troops were
drawn up to receive them, headed by
the Sixth regiment band. Led by the
United States soldiers, the procession
reformed and marched to the grounds at
the fort, where the monument stands.
There the troops were maSSed around
the yelled figure. Behind them were
stationed the @, A. r.. posts and uni
formed societies. while the remainder
of the multitude took up positions
wherever point of vantage could be
found. The Rev. E. F. Holland, chap
lain of the department of Kansas, q. A.
R., opened the ceremonies with prayer.

souri,, reviewed the work of the Grant
monument, by which the statue was
erected and of which he is president,
and explained how the cost of the trib-
ute had been betrayed by public sub
scriptions, taken in all parts of the
country. Then, the Sixth regiment
band playing the national air, the gen.
eral stepped forward and unveiled the
statue amid the applause of the multi
tude. AS the veil fell to the ground,
there was revealed to the spectators
A STATUE OF GEN. GRANT
of imposing portion and artistic execu-
ton. The statue is bronze military
figure of heroic size, nine feet high, on
a polished granite pedestal of equal
height. The left foot is slightly ad-
yanced and his hand holds paper of
official appearance, to which points the
right forefinger. A slouch hat, which
ali the army veterans recognized at
once as Grants army hat, covers
the head. The figure IS draped
in a long military coat, the cape
thrown back over the shoulders. The
pedestal of the statue is monolith
four feet square and five feet high, the
top encircled with a wreath of bay
leaves in relief, On the front is tab
let, inscribed with the names of the
battles in which Grant was engaged.
The rear of the monolith bears eques-
trian figures of Grant and his aides de
camp in relief. The west side bears an
inscription of the names of the various
societies and organizations which con-
tributed to the expense of the erection
of the statue. After the statue was un-
yelled, orations on Gen. Grant were de-
livered by Senator Ingalls,, of Kansas,

was on the programme for a speech, but
private business in Washington pre-
vented his being present. He sent
telegram of regret.
Gen. c. W. Blair, the noted Kansas
orator, was heartily applauded when he
rose to speak. He said that it had been
reserved for Fort Leavenworth to first
unveil to public gaze permanent me-
mortal to the dead hero of the war. Gen.
Blair eloquently sketched the career of
Gen. Grant from his first battle to the
close of his life. Hon. G. r. Peck, of
Topeka, spoke briefly on the lesson
taught by Grants life. That lesson
was the performance of duty. The
pronunciation of the benedction closed
the exercises. Senator ingalls, delivered
the grafton of the day. 1t was an
eulogy to Gen. Grant abounding in elo-
auence. 1t was fitting that Kansas,
the cradle of liberty, should in the first
year of the second century of Ameri-
can independence. rear and dedicate
monument to that grand leader who
had secured independence for every
man on American soil. Senator In

O'clock tonight, but by virtue of an

the new law. The Democratic plat
form took strong ground against it, al
leging that it was oppressive and un-
Just: and the Democratic newspapers
and speakers have urged citizens to
register in order that they may be quail
fled to vote for members Of the legis-
lature favorable to repeal of the law.
On the other hand the Republicans
have an excellent organization, and in
most localities have brought forward
the full strength of the party. The
election will be under the Australian
system. which introduces a new
element of uncertainty. There
have been charges of intimida-
ton by large employers of

friends of the new voting system claim
for it that il will upset all calculations
based upon the result of previous cleo

Vigor. The Democrats are confident OF
overcoming the Republican majority OF

will bring out full vote. whichever

WARRING WOMEN.
Over an Hundred Amazons Fight
ing for a1Fair Premium.


WEST UNION, o., Sept. 1.-THE big
gest premium at the Manchester fair
last week, was SIS for the best loaf of
salt rising bread, and it stirred up big
row. Nearly every woman in Adams
county and many from adjoining count
les who were at all versed In the culin-
airy art, must have tried for that blue
ribbon, as there were loaves upon
loaves piled up. The directors finally
prevailed on some parties to assume the
risk of tying the blue ribbon, After
the premium was awarded, it was dis
covered that one of the judges was
related to the successful exhibitor, and
of course, this created a big racket.
New judges had to be selected and the
ribbon was tied the second time. The
unsuccessful exhibitors did not shut
down, however. They declared the
judges 'didn't know anything about
bread no how" More than 100 families
are at swords point. and least one en-
gagement has been declared off. Scarce
ly day passes without fight, and the
whole county is worked up over the

BIG MONEY AT STAKE.
Kansas Females Scrapping for

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. 1.-two women
are lighting for some valuable property
left by William Williams. a wealthy
farmer of Usage county, who is claimed
by each as her husband. A woman liv-
ing in Wales put in an unexpected ap-
pearance yesterday, and filed bill in
court, claiming the estate. In 1876
William Williams and Annie Williams
were married in Wales. In 1871 they
separated, and ever since lived apart,
but were never divorced. In 1878 Will
Jams came to America, leaving his wife
and children behind, and settled in Ar
vOnia, Usage county, Kan. Here, in
two children were born. When Will
Jams arrived in this country and
at the time of his marriage with Gather

600. After the marriage he conveyed
and delivered all of his property to
Catherine and died intestate. His OBJ
ject was to prevent his first wife getting
hold of 1t upon his death, but this was
unknown to Catherine. The first Mrs.

his death Williams decided everything
to his second wife, Catherine, and she
therefore instituted this suit. The prin-
cipal question is whether Catherine
knew Of Williams previous marriage.
1t is claimed by the first wife that she
did, and that she entered into
conspiracy with her sister, or some one
else, to marry him for the pur-
pose of getting this property. The
interesting legal question involved in
this case is the right of a husband to
give away all his property before his
death. 1t is claimed by the second
wife's attorneys that under the Kansas
laws, husband may sell or give away
his personal property, even with the
avowed purpose of preventing his wife
from acquiring an interest therein upon,

Company's Sell Out Raises a
Riot.
Special to the Globe.
REDFIELD, Dak., Sept. 14.-Indigna-
tion is at white heat here to-day over
the action of the South Dakota Invest
ment company in selling out to Huron.
The town was crowded with farmers
this afternoon, and almost to a man
they were hurrahing for Pierre. In
this city the stockholders will be able to
deliver nothing to Huron outside of
their own notes. The famous Redfeli
Military band will blow for Pierre from
now until election. The action of the
directors is generally denounced as un-
called for. Their plea that the action
was taken in the interest OF stockhold-
ers will not wash. The buyers of stock
expected no protection in case Redfield
lost the capital, and they bought with
that understanding. The Pierre CAM
paign committee will open up headquar-
ters here on Monday with Col. j. Craw-
ford in charge. A public meeting is
called for Monday evening to give eX-
preston 70 the indignation that pre-
walls on account of the sell out.
HURON HAS ITS SAY.
The report telegraphed from Pierre
that Redfeld had retired from the con-
test for the capital in favor of Pierre is
not true. Redfield went out in the in
terest of Huron and its people have
made very large purchases Of property
here this week.

REDFIELD, OAK, Sept. IA state
ment having appeared in the papers to
the effect that Redfeld's capital COM
mittee visited Pierre, desire, as mayor
of Redfeld, to contradict the same, and
state the real facts Of the capital COM
bine between Redfleld and Huron as
follows: The South Dakota Investment
company have invested in real estate in
Huron, and combined their capital cam
paign for the purpose of locating the
capital in the valley of the James and
protecting their shareholders. To this
extent Redfeld has thrown her influ-
ence for Huron. Representatives of
this company visited Huron, not Pierre,
to look after their investments and fur
tner the interests of Huron. Redfeld's
citizens, and the men most active and
who contributed to the campaign fund,
will use their influence for Huron. All
the arguments formerly used for Red
