FIGHTING OVER BREWER.
Senators Squabble Over the Eleva-
tion of the Kansas Judge.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE senate,
in secret session this afternoon, con-
firmed large number Of nominations.
The only nomination which was debated
at any length was that of David j.
Brewer, to be associate justice of the
supreme court of the United States.
More than an hour was devoted to this
nomination, and it went over finally
without action. The general impression
Is that it will be confirmed in the secret
session. The objections to Judge Brewer
were stated in the United Press dis
patches at the time they were brought
before the committee on the Judiciary.
More than four years ago Judge Brewer
decided the celebrated Kansas brewery
eases. in which the state sought to
close up the brewerieS under prohib-
itOry law. Judge Brewer held in the
Mugler case that the state could not close
up mans business without paying
him for the plant and the value of the
business as well. This decision was
reversed by the supreme court of the
United States, which held that it was
within the police power of the state to
close up tLese breweries without CON-
peusating their owners, the decision
Oe&oCO Vli tliC SSO AOA IN
in the decision of the celebrated New
Orleans slaughter house eases. Since
his nomination to the supreme bench,
Judge Brewer has been attacked con-
tinually by temperance advocates and
temperance journals. They have de-
ciared that man who would render
such decision was not fit to sit in
judgement on the questions that came
before the supreme court. These pro-
tests had some effect upon the Judiciary
committee, and the nomination was not
approved unanimously in committee.
In the secret session To- day several
speeches IN explanation of Judge
Brewers decision were made. Senator
Blair led the opposition and Senator
ingalls, the defense. Senator Plumb
was not present at the session. When
the senate adjourned at 4:30 It was with
the understanding that the nomination
would be disposed of tomorrow.
The following were among The bills
introduced in the senate to-day:
By Mr. Washburn-Appropriati $780,
600 for the erection of public building at
MankaIo. Mimi.
By Mr. Pierce-AppropriatfngS $50, 900 to

BLEW HIS HEAD TO ATOMS.
Horrible Suicide of South Da-
kota Farmer.

Sef5.al to the Globe-
SIOUX FALLS, S. D.. Dec. 17.-JOhn
Foster. a well-to-do farmer living in
Grand Meadow township, few miles
west of this city. deliberately committed
suicide in most horrible manner to-
day. He drove away in the morning
from his home in Grand Meadow in
good spirits, bidding his friends good
bye in Jolly manner. He took his
shotgun along with him, and said when
he left that he was going TO shoot any
Jack rabbits that he might come across.
When he arrived in TaOpi township, ac-
cording to the reports, he stopped at
several places and chatted pleasantly
with acquaintances. After leaving the
last he drove along the road short dis
tance, deliberately got out of the wagon,
took his gun and placed the barrels un-
der his chin and pulled the triggers
with a stick, discharging both barrels.
The result was that his head was torn
in shreds by the shot. When those
watching him reached the spot where
the body was lying. Foster was dead.
No cause is assigned for the suicide.
Foster was about thirty years of age,
moderate drinker, and well in favor
with the city politicians.

.YANKToN. S. D.. Dec. T7.-Ex-Gov.
Ordway'S statement that he was exon
Grated by grand jury in this city of
the charges preferred against him sew
eral years ago is untrue. In an inter-
view the ex-governor, replying to Jud
La Moure'S charges, stated that all the
earlier allegations were Investigated by
Yankton grand jury and by two agents
of the department OF justice, and in
both cases he was completely eXOner
ated. Several times during the sena.
torial campaign in North Dakota Ord
way gave currency to similar state
lRent. trusting, doubtless, to the forget
fuineSs of the public. But the memory
of the United States court at Yankton
is the record thereof, and it is therein
written that the grand jury brought an
indictment against Nehemiah q. Ord
way. 1t is also matter of record that
he was duly arraigned, and through his
counsel, Cush K. Davis, moved to set
aside the proceedings on the ground
that a territorial governor, under the
laws of the United States, could not be
tried for alleged crimes, but must be
subjected TO impeachment. The court
sustained the motion, and this is how
he was exonerated by the grand jury.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE verdict in the

To the few journals openly or coYertiy
sympathizing with the prisoners on va

seems vindictive and totally at variance
with the evidence as they profess 10 in

dissatisfied. and are early in the field
with predictions that the convicted men
will be acquitted il they are granted

character are few and wholly with

hand, the great majority Of the papers.
Liberal and Conservative, regard the
penalties fixed by the jury as ridieu-
lOusly inadequate to the enOrmity Of the

yicted of, and are consequently inclined
to express their great disappointment
that the WretcheS are not TO be hanged
forthwith. Nevertheless they agree
that there is much reason for cOngratu-
lation that they are to suffer life i'm
prisonment, and predict that no pardon
ing power will ever be found having the
hardihood to defy universal public opin-
ion by mitigating the severity of the
Judgment pronounced upon them.

BARR Is LEGALLY BARRED.
The law Does Not Authorize Theft
of Lottery Prizes.

CHICAGO, Dec. 17.-Judge Jameson
decided to-day that Jacob Barr, of
Grand Haven, Mich, was not entitled
to $4,000 drawn in Mexican lottery on
a ticket bought by Eugene ROwlson.
RowIson died two days before the draw
ing occurred. Barr was his partner and
appropriated the ticket. When the heirs
sought to enjoin Wells, Fargo d Co.
from paying him the money, Barr set
up the plea that lotteries being illegal
in Illinois the heirs were not entitled to
maintain their action. Judge Jameson
overruled his demurrer, and says be-
cause lotteries are illegal the law does
not authorize theft of the prizes. The
money does not belong to Barr and he
has no right to appropriate it no matter
from what source it springs. Barr will
appeal.
