Who Mnm Gel the PIE,

Topeka, Dec. 2l.-Tho Net oC p-obabls
successors to the late Senator Plumb is IN
creasing rapidly. The candidates mos
prominently mentioned are Chief Justice
Horton, ex-Congressmen Morrill, and
Peters, George r. Peck, Ex-Governor Os-
born. Benjamin Simpson and George An
thOny.
Justice Horton stated today, however,
that under no circumstances will he ac-
cept the position. 1t is believed the per
sonal differences between Governor Hum
phrey and ex Senator Ingalls, will prevent
the consideration of the %latter's name.
There was some talk today of Governor
Humphrey resiCning aud making Lieu
tenant Governor Felt governor, and the
latter her appointing Humphrey senator
Neither gentleman would talk on the

ChrIeans Arrest Egan,s Son.

NEw YORK, Dc. 2I.-1he Herald's
Valparaiso special says: Minister Epan
today officially requested the Argentine
minister, Senior Urriburn, to note the
presence of the Chilean police agents in
the immediate vicinity of the American
legation, as they also attempted the ar
rest Saturday night OF Frank Egan, the
minister's son.
Senior Urriburn, in his diplomatic capa
city. will call a meeting of foreign minis
tiers for the purpose of requesting the
attention of the Chilean government to-
yard the action of the municipal authori-
ties in maintaining police surveillance of
the American legation. An additional
insult was offered the American minister
Yesterday in the case of one OF the refu-
gees, who applied for a release upon fur
nishing the bonds as recently granted
Balmaceda's minister of war. Valasquez.
The government replied that the refugee
must first leave the American legation,
surrender himself to the Chilean authori-
ties, and submit to imprisonment.

WASHINGTON. DC, Dec. Ex-senator
Plumb's death will give the Northwest
another committee craftsmanship, tor SEN
atOr Dolph of Oregon will go to the head
Of the committee on public lands. Just
what other changes will be brought about
cannot be easily foreshadowed. The ser.
vices today over the remains of Senator
Plumb came to an end at 2:U5, and then,
without any motion to adjourn or take a
recess, and without making any provision
for the hiatus which became decidedly
prominent, the senate walked out, leaving
the guests standing.
Fol fully two minutes the president and
the official family, the supreme court aud
the diplomatic corps waited for directions,
but as none came the distinguished visit
ors departed. How the senate was ever
to reassemble when no provision was
made for the dispersion was too
much for old timers in the galleries.
AT 3 O'Clock the vice president returned
to the senate chamber. Senator Allison
had Just preceded him and Senator Glib.
son was at his desk. The senate will
come to order. said the vice president.
The two senators arose simultaneously
and after a minute Allison said, II move
the senate adjourn" just as the pause
was becoming painful. The senator
from Iowa does move that the senate now
adjourn" said Vice President Morton.
Nobody said a word. Words would have
made the scene more ridiculous than l
was, so the vice president declared tn

SHOT DOWN IN JAIL,
Three Men in Dewitt, Ark j.,
Are Killed By a Mob.
For a Dastardly Crime They
Forfeit Their Lives.
The Affair Causes No Inter
ruption of Business.


LITTLE Rock. Dec. PA special TO
the Gazette from Dewitt. Ark. says;
This morning a body OF masked men
entered the jail at this place and shot to
death J.. A. Smith, Floyd Gregory and
Nose Henderson. The crime for which
these men paid the penalty originated in
a divorce proceedings by Mrs. Mary j.
Smith against her husband, j. A. Smith.
The suit was fought vigorously by both
the parties, but Mrs. Smith was granted
a divorce and given a decree for one
third Of her husband property. On the
night OF the 9th inst. a negro. Nose Hen
derson, went to the house of Mrs. Smith
and shot and seriously wounded her. The
negro was recognized and captured and
made a confession, stating that he was to
receive from Smith Sl75, eighty acres OF
land, four head OF cattle and a horse fOr
committing the crime.
Smith and his son-in-law, Gregory,
were arrested and it was reported that
Smith and Gregory would give bond
today and be released. This report. it is
thought, caused the killing. The mob
was composed OF fifteen or twenty-five
men and was very quiet and orderly.
Some twelve or fifteen shots were fired
into the prisoners. all of whom were
instantly killed. The mob then left.
There is no clcw to their identity and it is
hardly possible that their anne will ever
be known, There is no excitement over
the matter and business is going on as if
nothing unusal had happened.

New YORK, Dec. 2l.-Russell Sage,
whom Bomb Thrower Norcross tried to
kill with dynamite, has again been threat
ened in "a similar way. Saturday night a
wild looking young man rang the bell and

Sage heard the man and came down.
He told her he had written a letter de,

pale face became almost black. Then
she thrust him out doors. The house is
