gram to THE BEE. III. f, Clarke, a heavy
dealer in furniture, made an assignment two
weeks ago. AS he did large business the
failure was SURPRISE but developments
since makes the matter clear.
Four years ago Clarke married Miss Mary
Redlon, of Minnesota and for two years
their life was a happy one. After while a
sister of the wife came on visit and Clarke
became infatuated with her. The result
was his financial embarrassment and his
elopement with the sister. Soon after the
arrival of the woman Mrs. Clarke's sus-
picions were aroused. She taxed her hus-
band with his intldelity, but he denied it,
though the sister was sent home. Three
weeks ago the wife found letter from her
sister in which the plan for elopement was
outlined. The husband confessed, but pro-
missed to be true to his wife IN the future.
Last Sunday Clarke started ON what was
supposed to be hunting trip but instead
took train for the east, and is thought to
have met Marion Redlon at st. Paul. Some
time ago Clarke gave Marion Redlon deeds
for several pieces of valuable real estate
here. His failure was for about $40, 900.

The Objection to Halstend.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The executive
session of the senate lasted between two and
three hours this afternoon and was confined
largely to a discussion of the nomination of
Murat Halstead to be minister to Germany.
Before that came up the nominations of John
@. New to be consul general to London, and
Lewis Wolfley to be governor of Arizona,
which were pending, were confirmed. The
final attempt of the opposition to defeat
assertion that his paper, the Indianapolis
Journal, had published articles rejecting
upon the private character aof President
Cleveland. This charge was warmly denied
by Senator Voorhees,, of Indiana, and the
nomination confirmed.
The committee on foreign relations favor
ably reported all the diplomatic nominations
of yesterday, but IN the case of Halstead the
report was not unanimous On motion to
confirm his nomination the nays were in the
majority, Senators Teller, Plumb, ingalls,,
Farwell and Cullom voting with the demo-
Gratis. Sherman moved to reconsider the
vote, and ON that motion a long debate en-
objection to Halstead was disclosed. When
the senate refused to enter upon an in
vestigation of the election of Sena.
tor Payne, of Ohio, Halstead, whose
paper, the Commercial Gazette, had strongly
urged an investigation, made uncompliment-
airy illusions to the republicans who voted
against the investigation. The feeling
against him by the senators who fell under
his displeasuIe at that time Is very bitter,
and one of them is reported to have said to
President Harrison this morning that Hal
stead could not be confirmed-that the SEN
ators whom he had criticised would not vote
for him. The motion to reconsider was
pending when the senate adjourned. The
vote on the confirmation was taken before
there were any speeches.
