Said TO Contain Many Thrilling Adventures
of the Female Desperate.
ST. LOUIS, February 17.-Advices from
the Indian Territory say that the journal or
diary of Belle Starr, the noted female ban
dit of the Territory, has been obtained from
the Starr rancho. Belle intended to publish
it as an autobiography.
The matter contained therein is replete
with thrilling anecdotes of personal adven-
lures, but the most remarkable feature of all
are disclosures concerning crimes in Texas
and the Indian Territory, which will tend
to prove that innocent men have been SEN
fenced on various occasions 1t is also a
matter of curiosity that the names of pro NJ
inent persons are connected with certain
crimes that have been committed in recent
years. Some ofthe sketches In Belle Starr s
Journal are humorous.

Harry Weldon, of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
says:
THE moment that the public gets the idea
that fighters are hippodroming, that moment
will interest in pugilism cease There will be
no fighting if there is no money to fight for.
PugIlists are not going to get in ring and
pound each other for fun. Let the draw fights
continue, however, and it will not be long
before there will be nothing to fight for The
good" men who go to prize fights and put up
so much ticket for the privilege do not care
about witnessing draws They will stand being
bamboozled few times, but there is a limit,
and that limit is reached. A few more fascos
and the best kind of a fight will not draw
enough money 10 pay for the ropes and stakes.
OF course, the shoulder-hitters, FOUNDERS and
plug-uglies will always follow in the wake of
such an affair, but they are no good to the
fighters nor anybody else. They have no money,

PARIS, February I'm. Meline is e1-

Cabinet. M. Waldeck- Rousseau and other
prominent men have refused to join. M.
De Freycinet prefers the War portfolio, but
on the persuasion of President Carnot he
has given half promise to accept the For
eign portfolio. NJ. Rouvier takes the Interior
portfolio. The other portfolios are tempora-
rily arranged, but the list is not likely to be
until tomorrow. Senator Ernest Boulanger is
mentioned as Minister of Finance
The only positive adhesions which M. Meline
has received, are those of NJ Bouvier for the
Ministry of the Interior M. Perrier for the
Ministry OF Education and M. Doutresme f9r
the Ministry of Public Works of Commerce. 1t
portfolio and M. Bibot some other, but Op-
anticipation of short life for the new Cabinet.
A Radical manifesto has been finally agreed
to and issued. 1t is mainly devoted to denun-
citation of General Boulanger, who it says, did
not hesitate to oppose his own program OF re-
vision in order to overthrow the Republican
Ministry. The manifesto then says that the
Boulangists are not afraid to paralyze business
and menace the success of the Exhibition by
placing their hatred of the Republic and their
of the country.
The Exhibition officials have presented me-
mortal to President Carnot praying for politi.
cal truce in the interests of the Exhibition.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE net
product of the last week to the Cabinet
makers is one man certainly added to the
list, if those who pretend to know and who
ought to know are to be believed. 1t is
about as certain now that Governor Rusk.
Of Wisconsin, will be the next Secre-
tary Of War, as it has been
for several weeks that Blaine and
Wanamaker were booked for Secretary of
State and Postmaster General. Blaine says
that Rusk will be selected, Colonel Dudley
that be has been offered the place, and SEN
ator Spooner that he has been offered the
position and has accepted it. This informa-
tion is given to the correspondent of THE
DISPATCH by a citizen of Indiana who is q
close friend of Presidentelect Harrison,
and this able citizen also declares he knows
that the mantle Of Secretary ,Endicott is
about to fall on the shoulders of the sturdy
old democratic Republican Of Wisconsin.
STILL IN THE DARK.
For the rest, the gossips are still in the
fog of doubt, and the friend of the President
elect referred to would 60 no farther on the
road to information than to hesitate, keep
very silent for awhile, as though he were
turning some great question over in his
mind, and then finally to utter solemnly the
portentous words: keep your eye on Fos-
ter, meaning Ex-Governor Foster, Of Ohio,
Foster of Fostoria, known to the world as
"Calico Charley" Though there are host
of believers in Window, it is the opinion
Of many that Harrison will solve the prob
lem in regard to the Treasury portfolio by
giving it to Foster, who is recognized as a
hard-headed business man, versed in ma
tional and financial affairs, and in perfect
harmony on financial questions with the
principles of the Republican party.
After Foster, there is yet greater di-
versity of opinion. Thomas. of Illinois,
and Platt, of New York, both have a strong
call for Secretary of the Navy. Miller, Of
New York, seems to be the only person
really named for
THE NEW CABINET POSITION
Of Secretary of Agriculture, and Senator
Teller, of Colorado quite as lonely just
terror portfolio, though the Senator says he
would not accept. For Attorney General
there are dozen names mentioned, but
again, quoting the friend of Harrison be-
fore alluded to, the Presldent-elect has not
got as far as that yet. Apparently, the last
thing the administration wants is a lawyer.
Mr.. Harrison's friend states that the
President-elect is not at all worried in re-
gard to the Cabinet, notwithstanding the
agonies in which the Indianapolis and
Washington correspondents have labored.
He has proceeded calmly and deliberately,
has avoided factional breakers so far, and
ably be found that, considering the difficulty
and delicacy of the task, he has scored a
brilliant success in a Cabinet which will
hang together through thick and thin for
the next four years.

TROUBLESOME REDS.

The Government Preparing for an Outbreak
mt Turtle Mountain Agency.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-01-20

both demanded its adoption by the
Legislature. There is no question of the
fact that an overwhelming majority OF
the people of the City Of Los Angeles-a
majority which includes many of those
who originally voted against it-favor its
approval at Sacramento. The fight
which is being made against the new
Charter at the State Capital in no sense
represents any authorized expression of
the Democratic party of this section.
On the contrary, all of the official and
most of the individual preferences here
now are in its favor. There would be
great and lasting indignation in Los
Angeles, should it be defeated. There is,
of course, question as to whether or not
the new instrument is constitutional.
Such consideration would override any
and every other. The Judiciary Com.
mittees of the two houses of the Legisla-
ture are fully competent to pass upon
those aspects of the matter, and tn ey
should do so exhaustively.
