For Mr. PIumb's Place-The Governor
Appoints the8 Successor Shock in
Kansas.
TOpEKA, KAs., December 20.-The
news Of the death Of Senator Plumb was
a great shock to his friends in Kansas.
No one knew that he had been ailing,
and the vigorous campaign he made
last fall I'm the Interests OF his party
seemed TO be convincing proof that his
robust constitution was in the best OF
condition.
The Kansas law provides that in the
event of tho death OF a Senator the
vacancy shall be filed by the Governors
appointment until the next meeting of
the Legislature. The next Legislature
does not meet until year from now.
Governor Humphrey was seen by re-
preventative Of the Associated Press
this afternoon. He had already been
notified of Senator Plumb's death by
private dispatch. He was greatly
shocked by the news, 50 much so, he
said, that he had given no thought as
70 the Senator's successor.
The name OF ex-senator ingalls, is al
ready prominently mentioned by the
politicians, he having been the nominee
of the party caucus at the time Senator
PETER was elected. In fact NO other
name has received any mention at all.

COLONEL THOMAS O'BRIEN MEETS
Mr.. Springer, and They Talk About What West
VirginianS Want in the Way of Tariff Re-
form-Sam and Robert Hazlett in the
City-Whst Mr. Springer Said.
SpectaL Tslepram o be Rsatstsr.


WASHINGTON, D. c., December co.
There was quite a gathering of West
Virginians in the city to-day, although
there seems to be no political signif-
cance in 1t.
Col. Thomas O'Brien and Messrs.
Sam and Robert Hazlitt, of Wheeling,
are here. Col. O'Brien met
Mr., Springer at the Metropolitan
hotel tonight and gave the prob
able Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee an idea of the way West
Virginia Democrats fell on the subject
of tariff reform. Mr.. Springer assured
the Colonel that as far as his efforts
would avail, there would be no step
backward by this Congress on the ques-
tion Of the reform of the tariff.
Mr.. Springer said it was certain no
bill providing for general revision OF
the tariff could pass the Senate during
this Congress. 1t would therefore be a
waste of time and money to get up such
a bill, but separate ills dealing with
special articles might be gotten through
the Senate, and in this way the Demo-
Gratis might make active progress in the
direction of reducing the tariff.
This was the course Mr.. Springer be-
lieved in. Mr.. Springer, said, more
over, that be thought the silver ques-
tiOn would be settled In q manner that
would be satisfactory and that would
prevent its giving the party any more
trouble next year.
Ex-Governor Wilson is here on busi-
ness before the Supreme Court. Judge
John j. Jackson, G. c. Sturgis, U. S.
District Attorney, J. ID. Butt, OF Har-
per's Ferry, and General st. Clair are
the other prominent West VirginianS
who are in town tonight. Representa-
tive Anderson expected to start home for
the holidays late tonight.

1t was expected by many last even
ing that Rev, DR.. Riker of the Fourth
Street Methodist Church was going to
pOunce down unreservedly upon the
municipal affairs of Wheeling. In this,
however, the hopes were not fulfilled.
The pastor took for the lesson Of the
evening the sixteeuth chapter OF Judges,
and after the reading Of the same
started out by saying that as many might
suppose he did not propose this even
ing 10 indulge in politics to consider In
detail the downfall Of Chief Delbrugge,
neither did he propose 10 rail at the
people who elected MIN, but rather, TO
draw lesson applicable to all classes
and conditions OF meu, as Christ
did from the themes before
The pastor argued that lessons
drawn from the uppermost topics In any
community and preached upon at the
very time make more indeli0le impress
sion upon the auditors. Christ took the
themes before him and out Of them
drew the charmed parebles. The
analogy written by Bishop Butler could
never nave been written by him at any
other time.
Now. my first proposition is that many

have harbored the thought. But 1t has
come to pass; himself and his family
and his name disgraced all down
through the years. When man finally
goes down into a wreck it comes as a

ator Hill proposes 70 overcome the OBJ
lection filed against his taking his seat
here by conveying back into the treas
ury the salary which as United States
Senator, he would be entitled to up TO
the moment he leaves the Governorship
of New York.
In q private conversation Governor
Hill told confidential personal friend
that he was remaining in the Governors
chair to teach q bolting Democrat
lesson which he would not forget-that
he would rather be kept out OF the seat
awaiting him in the Senate during the
entire six years to which ne was elected
than permit lieutenant Governor Jones,
"a boiter and traitor to his'party," TO
occupy the Governors chair for thirty
minutes, much less the thirty days he
would have occupied 8it had it been taken
when Congress conyened.
Governor Hill assured his friend that
the election of Roswell P. Flower as
Governor of New York was Hill vic
tory from the groundt up; that the nom
ination was dictated hy his friends, and
that it meant solid delegation in the
National Nominating Convention for
Hill.
After long and frank conversation
with Governor Hill, the gentleman as
sures your correspondent that Hill will
surely be the next Nominee for the
Presidency, and that Mr.. Cleveland is
already relegated to tie past. Mr.. Hill
saws he will have the South almost solid
for him in the Convention, while ma

CRISP AND MILLS.
Opinion Of the COurisr-JOurnal on
Their Correspondence
CRISP'S LETTER WAS AN INSULT
And Might Have Been Resented BY Man Of Less
Shirt Than Mills - The Appointment Of
Suringsr as Chairman Of Ways and
Means Would Be a Calamity.

LOUISVILLE, KY, December s0.--Of
the Crlsp-Mills correspondence, the
Courier Journal OF tomorrow VIII say'
."rhe letter of Mr.. Mills TO the
Speaker OF the House is dignitied, man
ly and direct. Under the circumstances
the proposal of the Speaker was spe-
cies OF affront which a man OF less
spirit than Mr.. Mills might have justly
resented. II was at the same time
mistake which Demscrats everywhere
will regret.
"Mr. Crisp may be assured that the
appointment Of his late competitor 10
the Chairmanship OF the Ways and
Means Committee is required alike by
good party policy and the equities OF
the case. His abilities are undeniaole.
His claim is commanding. We still hope
that the Speaker will see the matter as
il truly is, for he is the official head OF
the party. aud must have the party SUP
port, which will depend largely on this
particular issue.
ain the event that he should not, we
fear the consequences, particularly III
the connection OF the name OF Mr..
Springer with this important post,
should have any foundation TO IL.
For Mr.. Springer as Democrat ana
as a man. we entertain very great re-
spect and all possible good will. But
his selection would be little short OF
blunder, which might bring upon both
very serious discredit.
"As we have elsewhere observed, 1t is
our purpose to give the new Speaker
the frankest confidence and the most
loyal support. We want to see his ad-
ministrat.on brilliant and successful.
Ii is because of this that we VEN
ture TO make the suggestions and to
sound this note OF warning. In this
matter, more than any other, is II TO oe
decided whether Mr.. Crisp is large or
a small man.

An Alleged All Night BATTLE Between
Washington oocmpslAlan and Band

a Washington Sounpr1fiAah anu banu

PrrrsBuRG, Pa, Dscember 2O.-A
Washington, Penna., Recial gives the
details of an all night l1ttle Wednesday
night between Hugh Curry, wealthy
farmer of Amwell township and num-
Der OF men in ambush. Three hundred
shots were fired, but fortunately no one
was wounded.
Curry's house was ri6dled with bull
lets and his terror-stricAen family spent
the night in the cellar. PTowards morn
ing there was lull in the battle and
Curry alarmed the village by ringing
the bell In the tower. Several friends
came to his assistance and remained
with him till daylight. 1t has since
been learned that Curfy's assailants
were watchmen who were guarding the
property of Marion Curry, whose prop
erty adjoins that of his brother Hugh.
IL seems that Marion Curry has suf-
fered from incendiary fires in which he
has lost thousands of dollars. The first
fire was on May Il andssince then he
has lost twenty-nine hay stacks, barn
and stable. The freQusnt fires have
almost crazed Curry and She has been
fearful of his life.
Recently he placed guards about his
farm TO protect it. The guards claim
that Hugh Curry fired the first shot and,
as he had been annoying them, they re-
turned the fire, which resulted In per-
feet fuSilade for the rest OF the night.
The two brothers have not been
friends for years and the trouble is
looked upon as q family affair,
