General Sherman on the Revenue Ma
rines,
The question of transferring the
Revenue Marine Service to the Navy
and consolidating the two branches
into one, brought about a lively de-
bate in the U. s. Senate yesterday
between Senators Sherman, Spooner
and Allison. Senator Sherman took
the ground that there was no de-
mand for the proposed transfer, the
only object being to increase the
pay of the officers of the revenue
marine service and give them the
privilege of being placed upon the
retired list. He attempted to soft
en- his attack upon the bill by COM
mending the hardihood and the
practical, seamanship of revenue
officers, but Immediately followed
with an assertion that these officers
il transferred to the navy, would
appear as the 'tpoor boy at the husk-
ing" when thrown into competition
and social contact with naval off,
GERS who have received their educa
ton and instruction at Annapolis.
He said their lack of training units
them for the general naval service
while naval officers are untitled to
perform the service of a revenue Of
ficer in dealing with smugglers and
custom house thieves.
While commencing the pluck,
energy and practical skill of the
revenue officers, he insisted that
they are hardly qualified to go
abroad and stand on the same foot
ing with naval officers in the regu-
Tor service. To appear perfectly
impartial be proceeded to touch up
the naval officers who may be af-
fected by the transfer. By placing
young naval officers on board reve-
nue. cutters, he said, they will be
able to cruise around the large Cit
les and get . chance to dance with
the girls and have q good time gen.
orally.

LEXINGTON, Va, Sept. pa most
distressing tragedy occurred here this
afternoon at the Virginia state military
institute, in which Cadet Warren Talia-
ferro. lad of fifteen years and a
member of one of the foremost fami-
lies of the state, residing in Nor
folk. Va. who had been in the
institute only week, lost his lite as a
result of a isticuff encounter with
Cadet Frank McConnico, aged twenty,
of Bryan, Tex. who was also in his
first years attendance. Shortly before IL
O'Clock the young men engaged in dis
pute. Former ill-feeling between them
made the dispute a warm one, and
friends proposed that the matter be set
tied by prize fight. At the call to the
mess the principals and their friends
excused themselves and repaired to a
room, stripped to the waist and
started the battle. Thirteen desperate
rounds were fought. After the encoun-
ter young Taliaferro retired to his room
and laid down, and apparently went
to sleep. Two hours later, when
some one attempted to awaken him,
he was found to be dead. Upon hearing
OF the death of his adversary. young
McConnico attempted suicide. but was
prevented by friends. He was arrested
and placed in Jail. The cadets are
greatly excited. and it is thought an at

BIoodshed in a Squabble Over a
County Seat.

LAMAR, Col, Sept. 25.-Word has
been received of serious trouble be-
tween the towns of Boston and Spring
field in Baca county. Since Baca
county was made from Las Animas
county by the last general assembly
there has been strife between these two
towns as to which should have the seat.
The act organizing the county provided
!. that Springfield should be the county
seat, and at the election held last fall, it
is alleged that, by the manipulation of
| the ballots. it was made the permanent
of Boston claim that Springfield has not
the $1,000 worth of county property
necessary to prevent the county seat
from being moved by a minority vote
this fail. The only available building
for a county court house was hO-
tel building in Boston. A few
weeks ago this was sold at sheriff's
sale and was bought by Springfield par
ties. Saturday night party left Spring
field for Boston with machinery costing
$1,000, intending to move the building
to the former location and use it as a
court house, thus preventing the county
seat issue being raised this fall by rea-
son of permanent improvements being

building, which is the finest in the
county and threesstories high, and
twenty teams were hithed to it. Inside
the house were stationed twelve men
with Winchester rifles. The building
was moved about five miles toward
Springfield, which is twenty-five miles
from Boston, when the people of the
latter place discovered the trick and i'm
mediately organized. All available
horses and rifles were brought
into requisition and pursuit was
made. Upon overtaking the party they
commanded halt, which was answered
volley of shots from the men in the
building. The Boston crowd then fired
and a fierce battle ragged, which ended
in the Springfield party being driven
from the building. Coal oil was then
procured and the floors of the building
saturated, which was set on fire and en-
tirely consumed. Great excitement pre-
yals, but owing to the insulation of the
towns. Springfield being over fifty miles
from Lamar-which is the nearest rail-
road station-news is hard to obtain.
Several parties arrived here from
Springfield last night and departed hur-
riedly after buying all the cartridges
they could find in town. 1t is reported
that several parties were seriously
wounded and two killed during the
fight, but the news is not authentic.

past several days to investigate the ex-
tent of the damages by the
Failure of the Crops,
and Commoners John Dillon, Tim
Harrington and number of others
were among those on the tram. The
NatiOnalists accompanied the police
and Mr.. OBrien to the court house.
During the march three cheers were
given for John Morley by the large
crowd, which exasperated the police,
who charged on them to force the es-
cort to move forward. John OConnor
warded off a blow from a policeman's
club that was aimed at Mr.. Morley. The
court house was reached without fur
ther trouble, the streets in the vicinity
being crowded with SympathiZerS. The
excitement of a week ago. when
the arrests of Messrs. Dillon and
O'Brien were so suddenly made. has its
counterpart in Nationalist circles to-
day. The dispatches from Tipperary
describing the clubbing of the crowd
before the court house by the police
created a profound sensation at the Ma
tionalist league headquarters. The ac-
tiOn of the police was denounced as
gross outrage. The fact that John Nor
ley is present at the trial is considered
is thought that the trial will afford him
more insight into the true inwardness
of the Irish problem, which he came to
Ireland to study for himself, than
weeks of travel and investigation. He
will be able to tell the English Liberals
with more force than ever what the
Irish people have to put up with at
the hands of the police after
his own rough experience at Upper
ary. The Nationalists are confident
that whatever the outcome of the trial
may be, the brutal police episode and
the evident reluctance of the court to
open the doors to the public will not
increase the popularity of MIR. Balfour's
rule. Thomas j. Condor, member of
parliament for the eastern division of
Tipperary, was to-day arrested at Linn
erick on 4 warrant sworn out at the time
the warrants for the arrest of MesSrs.
OBrien and Dillon were issued. MIR.
Condor was conveyed at once to Tippe-

DIR. Wheaton, of st. Paul, were present,
and a number of prominent physicians.
together with Mayor Sutphin and ex
Chief of Police Doran. of Duluth, sur
rounded Dwyer and testified on his be-
half. The state proved by the testi-
mony of Drs. Connor and Wylie, who
performed the autopsy, that Mundy
died of fractured skull, the principal
fracture being on the right side of the
mead. with cOntrecOup showing that the
skull had been shattered by the imprint
of a blow while the head probably rested
against solid substance. No abrasion
OF the skin marked where the blow had
been received. Mundy lived twenty
days with his skull cracked nearly
all round. The case was remarkable,
but such injury might result, in the
opinion of DR.. Connor, from blow of
the fist. Other witnesses testified to
the events leading up to the row in
John Agnew, of Duluth, and c. P.
Monaghan, of Chicago, and Mundy, of
this city. were concerned. Alleged
spectators said they saw Dwyer de-
liver blow, but all others agreed that
the members of the party had been
drinking wine, and bad blood existed
between Mundy and Doran. When
they met Mundy assailed Doran with vile
eplthets and attempted an assault. Dwy-
er got in his way and was also assaulted
and pushed Mundy away. whereupon
he fell. and his injuries resulted from
contact with the curb. DIR. Wheaton
said he never knew of a case wherea
blow had caused fracture of the skull,
and this was agreed to by DrS. Ritchie
and Alden, of Duluth. G. ID. O'Brien,
counsel for the defense, made an elo-
quent plea in summing up, showing the
absurdity of the evidence adduced by
the state, and pointing to the business
standing and wealth of the accused,
who had never been other than gentle
man of emminent respectability with
SlulldI cOIlu6cllOIlS duu CudIdCtoI.
There was, MI. O'Brien said. no
possibility of the guilt of Dwyer on
such charge. Dwyer has but one
arm, which would preclude the possi-
bility of his doing serious injury by
blow. Defendant had been charged
with murder in the first degree
and Judge Steele didn't see his way
clear to discharge him, but was satisfied
that he was innocent as charged, but
would hold him to the circuit court on
the charge of manslaughter in bonds of
$1,000, which were volunteered ~
dozen men in the court room. This de-
cisiOn is regarded as equivalent to ac-
Quittal, and O'Brien viii at once move
to quash. General satisfaction is felt at
what is thought to be the termination of
the unfortunate affair.

New Phase of the Capital Fight in
South Dakota.

Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, s. D., Sept. 25.-T. S. Ever
ett, of Huron, appeared before the
supreme court to-day and applied for a
writ Of certiorari to compel Hughes
county com misSionerS to show cause
why they established voting precincts
throughout the unorganized counties
embraced in the II, 900, 600 acres of Sioux
reservation, recently opened to settlers,
and further, why such precincts should
not be abolished. This tract was at
tached to Hughes county for judicial
purposes, and it was under an act of the
legislature that the commissioners pro-
ceeded, which action, Huron parties
claim, is unconstitutional. 1t is new
phase of the red-hot capital fight be-
tween Pierre and Huron, which is en-
gaging the entire state; and the finding
OF the supreme court, to be rendered in
one week, will decide whether persons
In new settlements can vote or are
to be disfranchised. Huron con-
cedes the vote of that entire sec
tiOn to Pierre, hence the antagOnism.
Great interest is manifested here in the
result of the application to the supreme
court to-day for writ of certiorari,
asking that the commissioners of
Hughes county show their authority
for establishing election precincts and
appointing clerks in the unorgauiZed
counties of Nowlin and Sterling. This
application is for the purpose of testing
the legality Of the vote in all the unor-
ganiZed counties.

MONRoE's SOUND DOCTRINE.
1t Should Be the Universal Policy
of American Nations.


WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 25.-Secre-
tary Blaine has received from Minister
Abbott, at Bogota, translation of an
extract from the message of the minis
ter for foreign affairs of Colombia to
the national congress, concerning the
recent international American confer
ence at Washington. The minister de-
clares that the results of the conference
will be to the everlasting glory and
satisfaction of all who took part in the
meeting. He recommends to the con-
gress of Colombia the adoption of many
of the plans proposed by the
conference and urges immediate
action with reference to an
appropriation for the inter
continental railway and the appoint
ment of a member of the commission
soon to meet in Washington. In con-
clusion the minister expresses regret
that the conference did not take under
consideration the Monroe doctrine and
declare it to be the universal policy of
American nations. ut is true" he
says, ''that this topic did not figure In
the programme enclosed in the invita-
ton to the conference, but since the
powerful union of the North keeps alive
the echo of the celebrated words of
Monroe, and since those, although their
full meaning may not yet be fully de-
fined, are destined to exercise a power
full influence in internatural relations,
perhaps it would have been a fit Occa-
sion to consider that question when
there were assembled the representa-
tives of nearly all America. This
appeared SO much more natural
since the government of the United
States has shown in the conference SEN
timents Of the most perfect equity in all
that touched upon the mutual relations
of the American states now promoting
the adoption of arbitration to decide
the difficulties between them, and now
urging that the rule of conquest should
completely disappear on the continent
discovered by Columbus. So that the
only thing that is lacking to make per
manent that doctrine is that of the
unity of the people of America in re-
SDect to foreign aggreSSiOnS,o

a separate trial for Buett. The court
advised all the promptness possible,
and r. A. Parmenter, associated with
the prosecution, said that upon further
consideration the people had concluded
not to move the trial at this term of
court. Bob PinkertOn and Detective
Humphrey were in court and remained
until the court complimented the grand
jury on the intelligent and fearless
manner in>which they had handled the
train-wreckiug inquiry. Then the de-
tectives quietly made their escape,
significant glances following them. 1t
was understood by all that the court
had rebuked Pinkerton for his public
denunciation of the grand jury. Reed,
Cain and Buett are back in jail, where
they must remain until court convenes
on December Is unless they can furnish
$4,000 bail.
