Gone Gllmmering-The Tariff Bill
Passes tho House.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 27.-lSpscial. The
Montana delegation have practically sur
rendered the appointment Of postmaster
at Helena to the son of the president. One
OF the delegation said to-day that he and
his colleagues had recommended unsni-
mously man who was unexceptionable al
to character, man who was relative of
the secretary of state, and who was satis-
factory to the people of Helena. but who
was not satisfactory to Russell Harrison,
and he has not been appointed. The men,
Der of the delegation making this statement
said he would have nothing more to do
with the case, and the president and his
son night appoint whomever they pleased.
It is thought James B. Walker may even
yet be selected, Notwithstanding Russell
Harrison's opposition.
Mr.. Power. of Montana, has not yet de-
sidering the report very closely. He may
decide that the proteGtion afforded to Mon
tana industries are sufficient to overbalance
the objections he has to the measure, and
he may cast his vote for the bill.
Senator Morgan's bill, introduced to-day,
to forfeit all of the Northern Pacific lands
from Bismarck to Wallula, is for buncombe
alone. No one ever expects that such bill
could pass. 1t may have one good effect,
however, by being reported and indefinitely
postponed, as it would tend to settle the
question for all time.
Senator Allen to-day introduced peti.
tion of the Clear Lake Alliance, IN Spokane
county. Washington, favoring the Congel
lard bill; also a petition of fifty-eight citi-
zens of Whatcom county, asking that Ger.
tain alleged obscene publications be ex-
cluded from the mails.
At the request of Senator Allen, the de-
partlnent of Justice has had the time fol
considering the case against Father Cher

Dilatory Tactics of the Prosecuti0n-Stir-
ring Up shannon.
DUBLIN, Sept. 7.-There is no abatement
of interest int the trial of the nationalist
leaders at Tipperary. There is an impress
sion that the government is trying to pro-
long the trial. The desire of the crown
prosecutor this morning that the cases be
tried separately confirms this. To this the
defendants unitedly objected, and the mag
lstrates at last yielded and decided in favor
OF collective hearing. The crown prose-
cutor, Roman, submitted with very bad
grace. and declared that he bowed to the
decision because he must, but said he would
reIraln from expressing an opinion of it's
fairness. The n ationalists are elated at
securing this point. The sensational feat
ure OF the morning was the renewed attack
by defendants on Magistrate Shannon.
After their protest against Shannon was
disregarded Wednesday they decided
to bring objections in more
formal way. They, prepared a
Wits, to which each defendant affixed his
signature. This joint affidavit the defend
ants took into court this morning and at
tempted to present to the bench. The mag
lstrates, who had received no intimation of
the defendants purpose, were taken COM
pletely by surprise, but as soon as they un-
derstood the nature of the document they
peremtorially declined to receive it.
Instantly Roman was on his feet de.
nouncing the action of the defendants. It
was difficult, he declared, to find language
strong enough fttingly to characterize It.
The document they sought to present was an
infamous libel on Shannon. Shannon him.

was greeted by the defendants with roars
of hilarious laughter. When preliminary
matters we're disposed of and the time had
come for taking testimony it was found that
two of the defendants were not in the court
room. A short recess was taken to give
time for the absentees to be summoned.

SAN FRANc1sco, Sept. N.-When the news
OF the Slavin- -NeAuliffe fight was received
here last evening crowds were standing
around the bulletin boards of the newspa-

number OF sporting men in the city who

SEEKING RECIPROCITY.

Report That Ribot and Reid Have Made

Copyright, 1880, New York Associated Press1
BERLIN, Sept. N.-Combined information

in Paris that Ribot, French min

minister, for reciprocity arrangement be-
tween France and the United States, has

Count Kalnoky, Austro-H Hungarian prime

States. will find ready response from the
chancellor.
Advices from Vienna indicate that the
Austrian government also accepts the prin-
ciple of reciprocity. Count Kalnoky hav-
ing instructed the Austrian minister at
Washington to make representations
in the matter of pearl and other
Austrian industries affected by the
Mckinley bill. with view of the negotia-
ton OF treaty. Herr MiRuel's financial
statements have also decisively influenced
military reforms and led to the retiremenr
of Gen. Duvernois from the war minis
try, and the proffered resignation of
Count Waldersee, both of whom urged
Emperor William to adopt Scharnhorst's
plan for the reorganization of the army,
involving heavy increase in the war
budget. Despite the popularity of the
Scharnhorst scheme in military circles, the
chancellor has thrown the whole weight of
his influence against it.
