Row B1tween q Senator and Congress-
man Over Little Postoffice.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-[Special.] The
commission of Thomas Cain as postmaster
at Edison, Washington state, was for
warded to-day from the postofice depart
ment. The Office is small one, but it has
been the issue in good-sized battle among
polisi AUS in tha. state for sorno weeks.
Postmaster Peters was appointed by Sens-
tor Allen when he was delegate last year.
His term wonld not have expired for about
three years. Several men of political influ-
ence represented to Congressman Wilson
that Peters did not reside within the limits
of Edison and that he employed demo-
cratic deputy to do the work. Wilson rec
commended Cain. Senator Allen objected,
and for several weeks the appointment was
hung up, while a hot correspondence has
been kept up on the subject until to-day,
when Wilson's man was appointed.

National CAPITAL Notes.

The senate passed the bill appropriating
500, 600 for an equestrian statue of General
Grant in Washington.
Senator Manderson introduced two bills
which were referred to the library commit
tee, for the purchase of Matthew's portrait
of Abraham Lincoln, and to accept from
the q. A. Il. a statue of u. s. Grant and
pedestal, to be placed in Statuary hall in
the capitol.
After the speaker had laid before the
house various public building bills, public
business was suspended and the house pro-
ceeded to pay tribute to the memory of
Samuel s. Cox, of New York. Cummings, of
New York, addressed the house. Holman.
Mills, Butterworth and others also spoke,
and the house adjourned.
Senators Henderson and Paddock TO-DAY
presented petitions from the Farmers ALI
ance of Nebraska opposing the Window
bill or any similar measures, and opposing
any bill for bonds as basis for bank notes,
and asking for the free coinage of silver on
An equality with gold, supplemented with
United States legal-tender notes until the
currency shall reach $50 per capita.
The vice president laid before the senate
letter from Blaine, with note from the
British minister, asking if this government
was inclined to pass law prohibiting the
sale of liquor by United States citizens to
Canadian Indians. The report from the
commissioner OF ln0lan analrS was also en-
closed, favoring such legislation. and max
ing 1t applicable to the sales of liquor to all
Indians of the United States or Canada.
There is no probability of the bill re-
ported from the house committee on post
offices and post roads giving public build
ing to every town doing 5000 postoffice
business, becoming law. 1t is very doubt
full if it ever comes to a vote in the house,
and even should it go that far the expendi-
ture it would entail would kill it. Ambitious
towns need not look for buildings out of
this bill.
Thomas G. Merrill, secretary of the Mon
tana Mineral Land association, addressed
the house committee on mines and mining
in favor of the bill authorizing the exami-

miles each side of the main line of the
Northern Pacific, and to cancel all claims
made by the company to mineral lands
within those limits.

Official Guesses ON Crops.

WASHINGTON. April 19.-!The weather crop
bulletin, issued by the signal service, says:
The weather during the past week has been
especially favorable for farm work through
out the northwest, where the sowing of
small grain is substantially completed as
far north as southern Minnesota and south
ern Dakota. Crops have been improved by
Nebraska and Iowa. Wheat, oats and grass
are reported in good condition, but more
rain is needed from the Missouri valley
northward over Minnesota. In Michigan,

Death of Van H. Fisk.

After long and painful illness, Van H
Fisk passed peacefully away at st. Johns
hospital yesterday evening. His death hal
been expected for some time and it will be
no surprise to his many friends to know
that he has been called home. He was a
man we'll known throughout Montana, hav-
ing travelled over the state many times as
correspondent and soliciting agent of the
Helena Herald. He was a man of excellent
qualities and it may be said that all who
knew him were his friends. For the past
few years Mr.. Fisk had been editor and
publisher of the Townsend Trancahnt, but
owing to continued illness was obliged to
suspend the publication of his paper and
remove to Helena in hopes of benetitting
his health.
Van H. Fisk arrived in Montana in 1864
and has lived here ever since. He leaves a
wife and several children to mourn his loss,
besides five brothers who reside in this
state, three of these being proprietors of
the Helena Herald, and Col. James l.. Fisk,
who resides at Townsend. Mr.. Fisk WAS As
years Of age at the time Of his death. The
funeral will take l:sce at st. Peters Epis-
copal church Monday morning at II o'clock.

A Large Crop of Davis Heirs in Court at

BUTTE, April 19.-ISpeoial. THE litiga-
tion over the estate of A. J. Davis, said to
involve about 100000 worth of property,
mostly located in this city, was formally
opened in the district court here to-day.
To-day's proceedings were upon the appli-
cations OF various heirs to the estate for the
appointment as administrator on the estate.

been fled. 7. J. Davis, the Iowa boy, who
claims to be son of deceased. nomin-

Edwin Nom ng, who was appointed some
time since by the court, in Van Buren
county, Iowa; John A. Davis, brother of the
ceceased, is also an applicant, as is Public
Administrator Murphy. Now comes H. A.
Root, nephew, who files his application as
being the only one entitled to control the
property, and also long list of objections
against the claims raised by each of the
other claimants. Proceedings opened this
morning by motion on the part of T. j.

were paramount and he should be given an
opportunity to prove that fact before such
a vast property should be turned over to
his enemies. Argument on this motion oc-
cup;ed the entire morning and ended in
the motion being denied by Judge McHat-
ton. The application of John A. Davis was
then taken up and he was put on the stand
to show qualifications for the position he
was seeking. The attorney for H. A. Root
put the old man through long and severe
cross-examination, the bent of which was
co learn, if possible, the extent of the es-
tate left by deceased, and if witness
knew anything of will made by his
brother some years before his death, which
was thought to be still in existence. The
lawyer also tried to make the old man
prove his own incompetence for handling
the property in question, but was unable
to make anything out of him on any of
these points. A large number of witnesses
were examined to show the residence of
John A. Davis, of Butte, and his fitness for
the place, and the court finally adjourned
with the case unsettled. 1t will be taken
up again Monday morning and promises to
bring some rich developments. The case is
exciting great deal of attention here and
has attracted number of the brightest
lawyers in the country to represent the vari-
ous applicants.

Favors International 1simetalism.

LONDON, April 19.-Durihg a debate in the
commons last night on motion of Samuel
Smith in favor of confidence on bimetall-
ism, which was finally rejected by the
house, Sir William Vernon Harcourt an
nounced that Gladstone did not approve of
the motion. Balfour said he thought he
adhered to the principles of bimetallism.
He thought it would be folly for the gov
ernment to go in advance of the CONNER
clal opinion of the country and try to force
upon the nation currency in which CONNER
cial men did not thoroughly believe.
Goshen, chancellor of the exchequer, said
he was inclined to favor bimetallism, pro-
vided all the countries would permanently
maintain it under international agreement.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PIrTsBURG. THURSDAY. AUG. IA 1890.
THE EASTERN STRIKE.

The strike on the New York Central is ap-
parently destined TO be failure. There were
any number OF rumors yesterday reporting
new victories for the strikers, but facts were
wanting to establish them. The fremen
were said to have Joined the other strikers,
but at midnight denial Of this was made.
On the other hand the movement of passenger
trains is said to have been fully resumed
upon the Central, and freight traffic is also
under way.
1t is still possible, however, that the strike
may extend, and that the situation may be
changed. AS it is the strike has failed in
its primary object, the crippling of the rail-
road. The conduct Of the strikers has been
commercially quiet and orderly, and they
have done nothing to ALLEVIATE the sympa-
thy of the public. 1t remains true still that
there has been no ineligible statement of
the mems grievances put forth. Why
the strike occurred the public has no very
plain idea. The men and the company do
not meet each others allegations as to the
causes. If the strike is to be continued and
extended clear exposition of the principles
at issue should be made. We trust that the
strike may be ended BY a compromise
which will permit the men to return to
work
