Mr. PhrIns, Kr.eIertien.

An important meeting Of the new dem

at Springfield yesterday. More than or.
binary interest was attached to the meet
ing from the fact that new officers were

and that there was somewhat Of q divis.
ion among the members as to whether the
old organic alton should be continued.
The officers Of the old committee were
Delos Z. Phelps, Monmouth. chairman
Theodore Nelson, Decatur, secretary. and
w. b Brinton. of Tuscola. treasurer.
1t was natural TO suppose in view of
the triumphant victory achieved by the
Illinois democracy last November, that
the splendid and conspicuous work Of the
officers and executive committee. would
be unanimously endorsed by the full
committee by re eleeting Chairman
Phelps and his colleagues. Last week.
however, rdmOrs began to circulate hos
tile to this idea, and yesterday morning q
carefully devised plsn was disclosed for
"a new deal" This aroused the friends
of Mr.. Phelps and the old executive
board. whom, with the assistance Of many
prominent democrats from various Sec
lions of the state, determined to maintain
their supremacy They were sctuated in
this course by the belief that it would
not only be unwise but unjust to repudi-

interested in its organization. Prominent
among the lattsr was Gen. John NJ. Pal.

meeting to order. Timothy Gruss was
elected temporary chairman and j. W.
Potter secretary. A motion TO proceed
to the election of permanent officers. was
followed by two amendments. and a sub
stitute favoriug the adjoinment of the
committee until next day. This dilatory
move was fathered by the anti Phelps
faction, who realized that they were out>
numbered. A motion to lay the whole
matter on the table, was carried BY a vote
OF Il to 10. This showed the relative
strength of the opposing forces. and Mr..
Haby, the minoritys candidate for chair
man, gracefully acknowledged defeat by
moving the reelection OF Mr.. Phelps
unanimously by reclamation, which mos
ton prevailed without dissenting voice.
Mr.. Phelps feeling thanked the members
for the high compliment paid him, and
pledged himself to renewed efforts in the
important office to which he had been re.
elected. He then made spirited address,
which evoked considerable applause, pre-.
dieting that Illinois would be a reliably
democratic state by 1892. Secretary
Nelson and Treasurer Brinlon were elect
ed with the same unanimits accorded
Chairman Phelps. when the committee
went into executive session.

WIscoNsIN's NEW GOVERNOR.
Peck Goes into once without Fuss or
Feathers


MADISON, Wis, Jan. 6-For the first
time since 1874 the Democrats have gov
ernor of the state, and he took his office
yesterday very modestly. 1t had been ex-
pected that crowd of 1900 or SO would
materialize, and it was supposed that
Milwaukee alone would dispatch a legion
OF several thousand The weather, too,
was royal, mild and yet bracing, with an
azure sky and sun that beamed approx
ingly on the ceremonies all lay, but for
all that the at tendance from outside of
Madison was not of alarming proportions.
All told proba bly, not over /, 1000 from all
cluded-were present.
The Sc enc at the Capitol
When the governor-elect arrived he was
received by committee. Among the
members being Gen. Lucius Fairchild,
Col. W. f. Villas, Judge r. G. Sebecker,
Col George W. Bird, George Raymer,
Governor Hoaro, and all his staff of de-
parting outs" A cheer WIS given and
the party proceeded at once to the
capitol, whore the new state officers
were led first To the executive Office and
next to the assembly chamber There
Chief Justice Cole administered the oath
of Office, beginning with Governor Peck
and ending with the insurance commits
sioner, W. NJ. Root. There were no
speeches and no prayers, and the whole
ceremony was a simple and as unostents-
tious as it could well be.
The Inauguration Ball.
A season of haldshaking and congratu-
lstions followed The inaugural ball at
night was the br liant feature of the days
events. The ass mbly chamber of the cap
tol was handsomely decorated, and there
vas great rush present, all parts of
che state bsing represented. Ex-Secre-
tary Villas and Mrs. Villas were at the
head of the reception COMMITTEES, and
received the CUES Is as they came in The
door of the senate chamber was covered
with canvas, and here the dancing was
kept up until a lite hour. The toilets of
the ladies were elegant. Governor Hoard

engagement.

The Offer of Arbitration

secretary Blaine says, referring to the
offer of arbitration of the question
whether any country has right to extend
Its jurisdiction more than one marine
league from land, that no one disnutes
that as n rule, but the question is whether
there may not be exceptions whose on
torcement does not interfere with those
highways of commerce which the necessi-
ties and usage of the world have marked
out. He proposes that the real questionsn
be arbitrated, which in brief are What
rights, If any, III Behring sea were con.
coded to Great Britain by the treaties and
what are now the rights of the United
States as to the fur seal fisheries in Beh.
ring sea outside of the ordinary territorial
limits, and whether such rights grow ont
of the cessiou by Russia of any speciaI
rights or jurisdiction held by her in the
fisheries OF Behring sea?
No Claim of Mare CIausum,
The repeated assertion, Secretary Blaine
says, that the government of the United
states demands that the Behrinp saa Inc
pronounced mare clausum, are without
foundation. The government he saw,
has never claimed it and never desired II
II expressly disavows it. At the sama

Three Houses Destroyed on Mont

Three Houses Destroyed on Mont
9omery Street.
Fire this morning at 210 o'clock destroyed
three dwelling houses on the west side Of
Montgomery street, quarter Of a mile be-
yond Anderson.
The fire started in the one-frame house on
the corner of Montgomery and Kline. occu.
pied by Louis Gerago. he only had time TO
wake up his children and escape in his night
clothes. He lost all of his furniture. but
had it insured for $1,000. The house was
owned by S. F. Kline and was uninsured.
The house next to it was a twO-story
frame building occupied by colored
butcher named Tarler and was owned by
Henry Salter. Tarler saved nothing. The
house was insured.
The third house was occupied by L. A.
Edwards and family, and owned by Mrs.
Small. Edwards saved a small amount Of
furniture. The house was insured.
Two houses adjoining were slightly dam
aged. The fire department did excellent
work, having only one stream. Over 1900
feet of hose had to be used, and the fire was
SO hot at one time that the fremen were
compelled to bury the hose to keep it from
burning
The origin Of the fire is unknown. Police
man Morgan discovered it and, after wax
ing Gerago, sounded an alarm from box 65.
The fire spread with great rapidity, and
when the department reached the scene two
of the houses were almost destroyed. A
second alarm was turned in to secure hose.
The loss is about s., 1000.
