matter will doubtless be that Col.
Treichel will be retired, either at

of the committee; for, however un-
founded or malicious may be the charges
preferred against that gentleman, they
were originally made public in so sensa-

New York. January 23.-A dapper
little man created a. sensation this morn
ing at the corner of Broad way and Vesey.
There he met Lewis Davis, and after the
men exchanged a few words Davis
started to walk away. The little man,
whose name is Richard Goebler, and
who was buncoed out of 81 500 on Grand
street on November 1st, drew a pistol
and told Davis to halt. "If you move"
shouted Goebler, ''your brains will be
blown out of your head" This strange
tableau attrscted hundreds who were
passing at the time. The wiry little
German held his pistol in position
until a policeman came and took the
weapon from the excited man. The pair
were then taken to the Tombs. At
court it wss elected that Goebler had
been in this city but q short time from
Butte City, Montana, when he was bun
coed, and had succeeded in having one
of the bunco men indicted. The man
who was indicted is known as Johnston.
Davie, who is supposed to have been in
league with the bunco steerers,
went on Johnston's bail. Johnston
was liberated. 1t WAS found
some time after that Davis's bond was
of no value. Goebler went to the Dis
trict Attorney for instructions in the
matter. Fellows issued out warrants for
Davis's arrest This warrant Goebler
carried around with him, and in order to
aid him in it's service he was granted a
permit to carry pistol. Davis was re.
mapded and taken before Recorder
Smyth to plead to the indictment for
perjury found against him. He pleaded
not guilty and was remanded for trial,

The Two Matthew Arnolds.


Apropos of Matthew Arnold, it seems
that his son Mat. had very decided opin
ions. One night the boy heard some one
say that the moon was made of green
cheese. Very quickly he said;
II don't believe the moon is made of
green cheese"
"Don't you ?" said his father. "Why
not?"
"Oh," said the young gentleman, "I
don't know why. but DON'T"
swell, for my part" said the father,
II have no respect for people who give
opinions for which they can give no rea-
sons"
Young Mat. was very much mortified, !,
and went off by himself to hide his feel
ings. The next morning, as bright as
possible, he greeted his father with this /:
II know now why the moon is not
made of green cheese. found it out in
Genesis"
"Ah," said Matthew Arnold, ST., "you
have the advantage of me. I did not
know the subject was mentioned in Gen
esis."
so, yes, papa" said the boy, "there
is an account of the creation, and the
moon was created before there were any
cowe!"
So Matthew the younger triumphed
over Matthew the older.-[ Philadelphia

Mr.. Morton Wants It for His
Nephew.

Him and the Fruition of
His Hopes.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HEnAnr
SAN Francisco, January ga special
from Washington says: Los Angeles
postoffice affairs seem to be at stand.
still. The reporter who was informed
that Vice. President Morton had blocked
Green's appointment at the White
House, was told yesterday by Senator
Stanford that the Vice President had
not asked that the appointment be held
up, but that he asked the President ii
Green could not bs given another place,
and that consideration be given to a
friend of his who lived in Los Angeles.
1t has since transpired that the friend"
is q nephew of the Vice President, bearing
the same nsme. Vandever has been to
see the President, and it is eurmised he
gave his views of the subject in his usual
energetic style. Vandever refused to
talk to newspaper men, but from reliable
sources it is learned that he gave the
President his views of the case. The
President showed weakening in favor
of tie Vice. President by suggesting that
Green had prejudiced himself by sending
out an affidavit in reply to Otis,
of the Times, of Los Angeles, and that it
might be better to select a compromise
candidate for the place. Vandever, it
is said, maintained that Green had been
selected for postmaster of Los Angeles
by the entire California delegation, and
| if there were no charges against him,
there was no reason to delay his appoint
ment. The President, however, seems
desirous to put Green down and oblige
the Vice President, who seems to have
taken deep interest in the postmaster
ship of Los Angeles.
Local inquiry seems to demonstrate
Vice-President Morton's nephew in this
city to be myth. There are q number
of citizens who bear Levi P.'s surname,
but 80 far as known, none of them has
yet confessed kinship with the Vice.
President, and not one of them
has even been 80 much as thought
of in connection with the post
mastership. Be that as it may,
the fact remains that Mr.. Green's NOM
ination is antagonized by Mr.. Morton,
and it looks as though his favorite, who
ever he be, may be appointed, despite
the wishes of the California delegation
in Congress. General Vandever's "en-
ergetic style" may not count for much
when pitted against the imperative de.
mands of the Vice-President. v

THE N. &C. of this locality are greatly

The N. G. G. of this locality are greatly
exercised over the report of the special
board appointed by Brigadier-G General
johnson to investigate the charges made
against Colonel w. II. II. Russell. The
report shows that very large sums of
money have passed through his hands
for which he has no vouchers to show
When we are told that from June g.,
1881, to July 16, 1889, a total sum of N.
G. @. money of $40, ,29s.50 was received
by Colonel Russell and that he could
only produce vouchers for moneys paid
out to the amount of $18,715 88, we are
not astonished that the local militia
take deep interest in knowing what
has become of the handsome balance of
$11 ,5G2.62. If the "sinews of war" can
be made to disappear in this easy way,
the local soldisry may "sour" on the
service and leave the brigade with
greatly thinned ranks.

LONDON, January 23.-The Times saws:
The Samoan treaty bears handsome
testimony to Bismarck's reasonableness.
That such complete equilibrium should
be established is much more than we
could have expected from him. That he
quietly consented to the prohibition of
arms and alcohol and to the land clauses
is probably dus to British influence,
Their insertion in euch treaty is a re-
markable event in the history of the re.

The Standard says: ".While it is good
theoretically, it is likely that difficulties
will arise. In any case provision is made
for revision"

cation of the Samoan treaty in Berlin has
led to it's denunciation by the German
press of both parties. Dispatches here

SAVAGES AND SETTLERS.
More Trouble Ensues I'm the sioux
Reservation.

ST. PAUL, January Pa Pierre,
s. D., special to the Pioneer Press says
Trouble has broken out again on the
mile square" between intending set
tiers and Indians. The latter, anticipat-
ing the immediate opening of the reser-
walton, are cutting all the wood along
the banks of the Missouri river and
hauling it back to the lands which
they intend to take up according
to the provisions of the Sioux bill. The
settlers think this is an injustice to
them, and hence the trouble. Today an
attempt was made by the settlers ON the
''mile square" to stop the Indians, and
for while it looked like there would be
serious battle. Troops were hurried
forward, however, and sent the settlers
back on the space allowed them. The
Indians have already hauled off about
one thousand cords of wood. The North
western railroad officials now declare
that they intend to hold the "mile
square," according to the treaty of 1879
with the Indians.

the Atlantic. z
New YORK, January 23.--The steam.
ship Highlander, from Antwerp, expert
enced some of the roughest weather ever
known on the Atlantic. On January
18th one OF the most terrific storms ever
experienced came on. The lowering
waves swept over the decks with such
fury that six life-boats on the
upper deck were stove in. At
the same time terrible wave
boarded the ship astern, crushing in the
turtle back over the steering machinery,
and rendering all steering impossible.
The steamer was saved from almost in
evitable destruction only by the heroic
exertion of Captain Weye and his off.
GERS. The damage was temporarily re.
paired, so as to render steering possible.
The weather moderated somewhat up to
January 18th, when q gale even more
terrific than the former one came on,
lasting until the following morning.
During the remainder of the voyage
heavy westerly gales and a high
southerly sea, with frequent snow
squalls and intensely cold weather,
prevailed.

Mrs. Foster moved to reconsider the

but after lengthy debate pro and con,

was proposed by Mrs. Cowles, of Ohio.
The convention then proceeded to the
election of officers, and Mrs. Tilton, ol
the District of Columbia, in q ringing
speech, nominated for President Mrs. J.
Ellen Foster, of Iowa. Mrs. Foster
arose, and thanking the convention
warmly, said che had never shirked
duty, but believed now she could dc
more good in the cause of temperance or
the platform, and aeked the ladies not tc
vote for her. Mrs. Walker, of Mime.
sofa, then nominated Mrs. Eller
G. Phinney, of Ohio, and the nomi
nation was seconded by several annie
loud applause. Miss Doty, Of Cleveland
nominated Mrs. Aldrich, of Iowa, saying
Ohio could not sfford to lose Mre. Phin
ney; besides, the latter's health nigh
not be equal to the task. The informa
ballot resulted: Mrs. Phinney, 100; Mrs
Aldrich, 81; Mrs. Campbell, of Pennsyl

hoped the formal ballot would be cas-
