lISANGUINE OF SUCCESS.
CANDIDATES FOR THE SPEAKER
SHIP ALL GOING TO WIN.
The Contest Increasing in Liveliness and
Interest Every Day = Candidates for
the Minor Offices also Conducting an
Active Campaign.

WASHINGTON, Dec. !. - The speaker
ship contest is increasing in liveliness
and interest each day, and this morning
there was fair accession made to the
list OF members in town. All five can
didates expressed themselves as hope
ful, and reported matters progressing
satisfactorily from their point OF view
General Catchings OF Mississippi, one of
Crisp's chief lieutenants, claims that
his candidate has captured the entire
delegation from New Jersey. Crisp's
friends also said they had assurances of
four votes from New England. Mills is
sanguine that the forces are working
favorably to his interests, and ex-
pressed himself as entirely conf
dent OF the result. The Mills
men are endeavoring to make New
EEngland a unit, and they say they ex-
pect all the votes from that section ex-
sept two. This claim, however, is not
conceded by the other candidates, nor
ie Crisp's claim to New Jersey conceded.
McsIillin said today that he saw no
reason to change his opinion that the
fight would be long one, in which case
his strength would increase, and tnat
he felt that matters were going along
satisfactorily. Springer also was in a
cheerful mood. and said he was more
than holding his own as respects "frst
choice" votes, and had today made ma
terial progress in providing for the event
OF break among the other candidates,
great many representatives having
given hiSn assurances that he would get
their votes whenever they changed.
The arrival of Judge Holman of In
diana, and the announcement of his
position or the speakership matter, is
awaited with some interest. The friends
of Mills express more confidence than
those OF any one else, of securing his
support. At Hatch's headquarters it
was said: "TAings are quiet"
The candidates for the minor Offices
are beginning an active campaign.
Maish OF Pennsylvania has practically
withdrawn from the contest for clerk of
the house, and Pennsylvania is advocat-
ing the claims of Kerr, while Indiana is
urging Dalton's selection. For post
master, another ex-eongressman, Nc
Clammy of North Carolina, has become
candidate. James Z. Fisher, formerly
assistant postmaster, and chairman of
the Democratic state central committee,
is regarded with favor by members for
this position.

not improved by the spectacles which
he wears.
During the countess's recital OF the
incidents of her married life, Earl Rus
sell, who was sitting in the court, fre-
quently buried his face in his
hands to hide his laughter. dis
actions showed that he felt no
compunction for his treatment OF his
wife. He seemed to think the whole
affair was fine subject for mirth. Many
spectators whose minds were not con
fused by the high social standing OF the
earl, looked upon him with disgust.
Continuing her evidence, the countess
testified that when she was unwell, the
earl summoned her to his study, called
her "a barren brute and threw her t6
the floor.
Upon the conclusion of the direct ex.
animation witness was cross-examlnec
! by Sir Charles Russell. He asked the
countess if she meant to make any i'm
putations against her husband or Rob
erts. Witness replied: YES.

be over-estimated, and is continually
emphasized by reports of loss of speed
and increased consumption of coal, re-
ceived from our new unsheathed steel
vessels in commission. Unless we are
willing to admit that our cruisers in
time OF war shall be entirely confined to
cruises of short duration in the neigh
borhood OF our own ports, it would ap-
pear that they are deficient in a most
important quality, namely: Ability to
maintain high speed at sea for long
periods of time"
Reference is made to valuable data
bearing on this subject collected by
Naval Constructor Hichboon, and an
earnest recommendation is made that
congress adopt his conclusions, which
are summarized as follows.
/. All cruising vessels intended for
general service in foreign waters should
be sheathed, if above 1000 tons displace-
ment.
2. Vessels of less than 1000 tons dis
placemet intended for general service as
cruising gunboats, ETC., should be OF
composite construction, viz: With
steel framing, wood inside planking an6
copper sheathing.
Figures are given to show that Great
Britain has adopted these ideas in ne W
construction; that rs per cent of it is tc
be sheathed, and that all of the gun
boats built since 1886 are- of composite
construction, enabling them to keep al
sea for long periods without docking.

AN IMPORTANT MOVE.
Progress of the Pacific Railway Litiga
tiOn In Chicago.


tion In Chicago.
CHICAGO, Dec. IAN important move
was made before Judge Horton yester-
day, in the Pacific Railway company lit
igation. Representing the stockholders,
Mr.. Cloudy argued that Charles F.
Morse, complainant, had no standing in
the court, because judgment in his fa-
vor for $4,000 was given by the presi-
dent of the Pacific Railway company
without authority. This being SO,
Morse had no right to bring creditors
bill. In answer the stockholders say
they fully paid up their stock when
the transfer was made by the Los
Angeles company to the Illinois corpora.
ton. Mr.. Walker denied that the judg-
ment held by Morse was not valid. He
said the bill was for winding up the
corporation, and nothing more. He as
serted that the transfer from the Cali
fornia corporation to the Pacific railway
was void, because the first concern had
no power to sell, and the Illinois COM
pany had no authority to receive stock.
Walker sought to strike from the answer
that portion relating to the paid up
stock. The court held that IT was the
most important point in the case. Ex-
ceptions to the answer were overruled,
and when President Holmes and few
others file their answers, the case will 60
to the master for evidence.

proposed to attend levee. The earl
made her act as his valet while in Lon
don. The countess was naturally an
moved that her husband should force
her to perform menial services, and told
him she was sorry she ever married
him. The earl at once rang the bell
and told the servant who answered to
summon Lady Scott, the countess's
mother. When Lady Scott entered the
room the earl said:
"Here is your sacred daughter. Take
her away as soon as you like, and you
can go to the devil"
1t was on her return, at her husbands
request, after their temporary separa-
ton, that the countess was found one
night nude and in fainting condition
on the floor in the room occupied by her
and the earl. The earl told the maid
who had gone to the room that some
water had fallen on the countesss night
dress, and he had taken it off.
When Sir Edward concluded his ad-
dress, he called the first witness. This
was Countess Russell. She arose from
made her way to the witness box.
When she had taken her place, Sir Ed
ward proceeded to question her. He
first asked regarding the presence OF the
man Roberts in the house, and the
earl's visits to the room occupied by
him. The countess stated in reply
that she had demonstrated with
the earl because of these visits.
Being asked if the earl gave any reason
for going to Roberts room, the countess
made no reply, but said the earl was
more unkind 10 her when Roberts was
in the house. Replying to other ques-
tions, the countess said the earl had told
her he kept a loaded pistol convenient,
and would shoot her if she annoyed him.
When she left the earl she asked him to
kiss her, and he refused with an oath.
Describing quarrel that occurred be-
tween herself and the earl, the countess
stated that the latter rushed about the
room yelling and striking the walls with
his fists.
The countess was attired in an elegant
blue velvet dress. She wore an ex-
pensive bow about her neck, and large
hat which set off her beauty to great
advantage. She displayed much
modesty and was greatly embarrassed
by some of the questions. To most in
auiries she responded in a meek and al
most inaudible voice. Lady Scott, the
petitioners mother, sought by her
presence to add to her daughters
courage in the trying position in which
she was placed. She occupied the time
while her daughter was giving testi-
mony, by the continual shifting at a
vinaigrette. The countess's sister sal
beside her mother.
In appearance, the earl is great con
trast to his handsome and stylish young
wife. He is weak-eyed, youngish
looking man, with hair of red tinge
and is what is known in slang parlance
as washed out" His appearance is

CONDITION OF WINTER WHEAT.
Late Rains Give Rncsurasement of

Late Rains Give Rncsuragement of
 an Average Crop.
 CHICAGO, May 27.-The Farmers Re view in this weeks issue will say:
 Throughout the country the condition of winter wheat has not greatly changed. In some sections drought and insects have produced a small apparent decline, but this decline has been largely offset by recent copious rains.
 In Illinois seventy-three correspondents show that the prospects for an abundant crop of winter wheat are still good. The general condition is considerably above the average.
 Indiana reports show the general condi- tion of the wheat crop good.
 The prospects in Ohio are good, only @ few correspondents reporting damage from drought and late frost
 Winter wheat in Kentucky has been damaged some by cold weather, drought and rust.
 Michigan's crop promises to be about an average one.
 In Wisconsin late rains will undoubted- ly have beneficial effect; nearly an aver age crop.
 Kansas has fallen considerably since last reports. Although the crop will be good one it has been injured considerably by re- cent dry weather. Hessian fly and chinch bug ravages are reported from Coffey, Me Pherson, Marion, Reno, Dickinson, Butler, Montgomery, Riley, Sedgwick, Woodson, Labette and Gray counties.
 In Missouri some damage from Hessian fly is reported, but the prospects are good for more than an average crop.
 In Nebraska and Iowa the condition is good.
 Oats are looking badly in Illinois, In diana, Ohio and Kentucky.
 In Nebraska and Ohio the crop is in good condition and promises full yield.
 In the other states the condition is con siderably below an average.
 In Kansas and Missouri, while the out look is very good in some counties, it is poor in others

warship at St. Georges Hay.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Respecting the action of the French government in sta tioning warship at St. Georges bay, N. F., to prevent United States fishermen from obtaining bait, it is said at the state department here that action cannot be taken nor can an opinion as to the merits of the case be given until further advices are received. It has not yet been made clear to the department whether the war ship has prevented our fishermen from buying bait or whether it has prevented the French inhabitants from selling it. These are two very distinct and different propositions. In the first case it might be taken as an assertion of authority over American citizens, while in the second case the French authorities might be exerting an undeniable authority over French sub jects. Until the real state of the case is known there is nothing for the state de- partment to do in the matter

THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION.

What General Grosvener Has to Say
 on This Important Subject-Time
 to Cheek the Stream Pouring I'm
 Anen1sm in Wisconsin.
 WASHINGTON, May 27.-'1t is time this government did something in the matter of regulating immigration" said General Grosvenor, chairman of the commission recently appointed by Secretary Foster to investigate and report upon European em- igation to the United States. "Just what is specifically expected of the commission" :" continued the general, 'T do not know, for we have not yet received our instructions, but do know that there is pressing necss- sity for action on the part of the authori- ties. Never was any country the recepta- ele for such stream of immigration as is pouring in on us now; all our previous records as receptacle are being eclipsed. The increase which has been so apparent of late has it's origin principally in southern Italy, and as most of the material now arriving is non-assimilating something must be done to decrease the volume. The labor organizations complain that sufficient employment cannot be secured for the people already here and there is a very SohoIdl ueuauu lOT uOT0 TlSlu luuulSTh- tion laws. The country is rapidly becom- ing too strongly tainted with foreign odors. Take Wisconsid as an instance-a state that is almost a European province. The people there denounce the conduct of the schools in a foreign tongue and give other marked evidences of their alienism. In while they will insist on having the records of their legislature kept in their non-American language and on top of this will come an endeavor to have the courts operate in the language or languages na- tive to other lands than ours. This is all wrong. We cannot afford to welcome those who will not be of us."
 Assistant Secretary Nettleton has decid- ed that Hollyer Pettison and wife of Swe- den, who were detained at New York as polygamists, fall within the prohibited class, and he therefore ordered their re- turn to the country whence they came at the expense of the steamer which brought them over. This is the first time that po- lygamists have been debarred.

Upte- groff, aged twenty-five, and her three chill pren, all girls, aged from fifteen months to five years. The surrounding circumstances point to 0 deliberate and carefully planned triple murder and suicide. The father is teamster and left home early this morn ing to hunt work. He has not had employ ment for some time and both he and his wife have been very Respondent.

Re the Candidates Tn lSS2s
 HUTCHINSON, Kan, May 27.-At the meeting yesterday of the republican edi- tors of the Seventh Congressional district, letter from ex-Senator Ingalls, was read and warmly applauded. Among other things the letter said:
 The republican party is confronted with great problems which threaten it's supremacy. If we are to succeed we must deal with the issue of to-day as we dealt with slavery, secession and state sovereignty thirty years ago. The repub- licanism of the future must readjust itself to the changed condition of American life or it will perish. I wish to save it from this fate by re, calling the spirit of energy, the aggressive and patriotic force of the founders to the campaign of 1899. This will be waged upon economic and practical questions and not upon memories or emotions.
 Harrison will be renomnated and Cleveland will be his antagonist If we have courage and conscience it will be Austerlitz. If we dicker with popular errors compromise with unprin cipled leaders and sheer at honest differences oi judgment and opinion, it will be a Waterloo
