LONDON, March 5.-A long statement
has been issued and is now being circu-
lated among the electors of the Forest of
half of Sir Charles Dixie. On Feb. 25 it
was announced that the electors of the
Forest of Dean division had asked Sir
Charles Dixie to be their candidate for
parliament at the coming general elec-
ton. To this proposition Sir Charles
replied that he assented to their propo-
sition. provided that he had fair assur-
ance from majority of the Liberal
electors that his candidacy would re-
ceive their support. Finally it was
stated that Sir Charles Dixie had sup
piled the Forest of Dean Liberal organ
ization with statement for private cir
culation among its members, vindicat-
ing himself against the charges made
against him in connection with the FAM
which he was involved several years
ago. This statement Is not signed,
but bears internal evidence that
Sir Charles Dixie is the author of the
document in question. The statement
tries to show that the leading assertions
of the respondent, Mrs. Crawford, were
untrue, and that she was an abandoned
character and habltual frequenter of
houses of ill-fame. According to this
statement Capt. Forster ought to have
been the correspondent, and not Sir
Charles Dixie. Referring to the notori-
Gus Fanny" the pamphlet says that she
is now happily married, and is known
as Mrs. Stock. Continuing the pamphlet
says that Mrs. Crawford, during the
divorce proceedings, made the assertion
that Fanny" had been Sir Charles
Dilke'S mistress, and crowned her own
lnfamy by swearing that she (Mrs.
Crawford and Fanny" had been
i'll bed together with Sir Charles
Dixie. In this connection it
has been widely asserted that
Fanny avoided going into the
witness box and that in SO doing she
practically admitted her guilt. Since
the trial, however, according to the
statement, Fanny" has made Statu-
tory declaration giving full account of
herself, of where she was staying at the
periods it was asserted that she was
sleeping with Sir Charles Dixie, and has
made sworn denial of Mrs. Crawford's
story, SO far as it relates to her, before
the queens proctor. "Fanny's" hus-
band, the pamphlet adds, believes her
story, and says that he has the best rea-
sons to know that she is good woman.
The statement also compares the evil
dence furnished at the trials in detail.
The most striking novelty of the whole
affair are "Fanny's" declarations. The
general opinion seems to be that the
pamphlet will reopen the agitation of
years gone by and will probably win
over to Sir Charles side of the affair a
number of the public who have previ-
ously condemned him, but that it will
fail to completely vindicate Sir Charles
Dixie.

HILL STANDS FIRM.
He Plainly Shows That Bulkely Is
No Governor.

ALBANY, n. Y, March 5.-A requisi-
ton was presented to Gov. Hill to-day,
signed by Morgan q. Bulkely, governor.
for the return of John L. Colbert, ac-
cused of horse theft committed at Dan
bury, Conn.,, on Feb. "a, 1891, and now
held in the Jail at Carmel, N. Y. Gov.
Hill again refused to honor Mr.. Bulk
ely'S signature as governor, on the
ground that Bulkely was not the proper
executive authority to issue the writ.
With his refusal Gov. Hin filed q
lengthy opinion. Gov. Hill in his opin-
ion declines
ITO recognize q person as governor who
was neither elected as such by the people.
nor has any legal or equitable title to the Of
fee. and who is not recognized as governor
by the highest legislative body of his own
state"
He says he cannot be expected to af-
ford Bulkeley the recognition he is un-
able to secure III his own state.
"Mr Bulkeley is a mere usurper, and as
such has no claim to be considered a govern
or de facto. a fact of mere usurpation, done
without color OF authority and under the cir
cumstances conceded TO exist in Connecticut
does not make an individual an official de
facto.n
Gov. Hill then cites numerous de-
cisions upon this subject, and states
that he has concluded to refuse all
acquisitions coming from Mr.. Bulkeiey,
under the present condition of affairs
in Connecticut. When requisition pa
pers are presented to the executive, he
must judge of their authority, validity
and sutficiency. If he rejects them tor
any reason, he exercises a discretion
which is not remediable by any court.
'If there is a dispute as to the governor
ship of the state, and more than one person
claims the right in such state to exercise the
executive functions, he is called upon to de-
termine whom he viii recognize"
He refers to the recent contest for the
governors seat in Nebraska, and says:
Had a requisition at that time been pre-
sented to me from one of the persons thus
claiming the right to the Office, it would have
been my plain duty to decide which claimant
to the office would recognize. The respons-
ibility OF the proper determination of such
questions is one which is imposed upon me
by the constitution and laws of the land
which ] am not disposed to evade, and
which l could not, if l would, cast
upon another | would gladly honor n
requisition for the surrender of fugitive
from justice coming from the lawful execu-
tive authority of Connecticut. If for any
reason the lawful executive authority of
| that state is al present powerless TO exercise
| its proper functions, it is public misfort-
une, which would however. afford no justi-
fication TO me should give Official recogni-
| ton TO one VINO unlawfully claims the right
to exercise such authority.

CLAIMED TO BE SANE.
Sensational Case of Alleged Lu-
macy in London.

. LONDON, March GA curious and
startling case will shortly be tried in
the courts here. 1t appears that Mrs.
Cathcart, wealthy lady of Stafford.
mysteriously disappeared from her
home, aud, for some time afterwards,
all the efforts of her relatives and
friends failed to discover her where
abouts. Quite recently, however. her
friends traced her to lunatic asylum,
where she had been confined at her
husbands instlgation. Mrs. Cathcart's
relatives are now trying to obtain the
appointment Of lunacy commission to
inquire into the affair and to obtain her
release, it being claimed that she is per-
fectly sane. Mrs. Cathcart is the pos
SCISSOR Of an estate valued at over
S5000,000, which reverts to her husband
if it can be certified that she is of un-
sound mind. Mrs. Cathcart's relatives
insist that she is in full possession of
her senses, and, consequently, a long
and interesting trial is expected. Fur
ther developments show that in 1889
Mrs. Cathcart brought suit against her
husband in effort to obtain divorce
and was not successful.

CONSERVATIVE MANITOBA.
Hugh John Mcdonald Elected 10y
5000 Majority.


Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, Man., March 5.-The pre-
dictiOn of your correspondent few
days ago that the Conservatives would
make clean sweep of Manitoba, the
western territories and British Colum-
bia, has been verified by to-day's cleo
ton. Out of fourteen members from the
three districts named, only one liberal
has been returned, Watson the cham
pion of Manitoba rights. This
is not to be taken as an
spontaneous expression of loyalty to
ais had all gone to the country with a
well-defined tariff platform, and left
unrestricted reciprocity, with its vague
and possibly dangerous results alone,
they would have swept the Dominion
from the Atlantic to Pacific. Winnipeg
is gay tonight with music, illumlna-
tons and other triumphant displays.
Hugh John Mcdonald, son of Sir John
Macdonald, was elected by 5000 ma
jority over Isaac Campbell. local gov
ernment and reciprocity candidate.
Every person seems we'll satisfied
with the result, and there is great jubi
lation in consequence. Complete re-
turns from outside constituencies will
rot be i'll till tomorrow night, but from
what have been received it is conceded
that DAILY has defeated Attorney Gen
eral Martin in Sekirk. and that Ross
has captured Lisgar, both by handsome
maj0rities. There is possibility
of Boyd being elected for Mar
quette, but is not possible
the returns still give Watson ID small
majority. Voters came all the way from
British Columbia. Florida, California,
New York and Ontario to exercise their
franchise. Nine men we're arrested
here for personating vcters. Special
trains were chartered by the COnserva-
tives and run through all parts of the
country. enabling the same electors to
vote in four ridings.

Chippewa Falls Postmastership
Creates Excitement.

Special to the Globe.
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, March s.
The announcement that SIR. Sharp has
been recommended by Myron Ii. Nc
Cord for postmaster of this city, in
place of L. F. Martin, is a great sur
prise not only to the Democrats but to
Republicans as we'll, as II. j. Goddard
was generally favored as Martins sue
cessor. The great injustice, however,
that our citizens cry against is the fact
that President Harrison has been asked
to remove Mr.. Martin at once, when his
term of Office does not expire until Dec.
10 next, and that in the face of the fact
that Mr.. Martin has proven the most
efficient postmaster this city has ever
had. A citizens meeting was held this
evening to protest against Mr.. Martins
removal until next December, and the
following telegram has been sent To
Hon. Jerry Rusk:
Hon. j. NJ. Rusk, Washington, D. c.: Will
you sayato the president postmaster general
and Senator Sawyer that the appointment of
postmaster creates the greatest Indignation.
A public meeting is being called TO protest
against II. Our people are practically unan-
imous that under the circumstances il is one
of the greatest outrages ever perpetraIed.''
This telegram is signed by every IN
fiuential man in the city, be he Demo
