President Harrison and Senator Al
lison Said to Have Formed
Combine.
The Iowa Senator Will Support the
President and Get
Secretaryship.
Archbishop Ireland's Visit in the In
terest of the Catholic Missions
Az Said to Be Futile,

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-A pretty po-
itical story was waited from Cape May
via New York and Washington. 1t is
a political intrigue of considerable mag
nitude, and President Harrison and Sem
ator Allison, of Iowa, are the principals.
The Iowa senator spent some time at
Cape May few days ago. While there
he was closeted with President Harrison
for many hours. No one knew the pur-
pose of the conference then. To sum-
marize the matter briefly, Harrison and
Allison formed political combination
of considerable magnitude. AS a.result
Allison is to lay aside all presidential
aspirations in 1892, and is to give his
full support in the interest of Harrison's
denomination. In return for this
support Allison is to be Har-
rison's secretary of the treasury,
provided, of course, that he is
renominated and reelected. This deal,
1t Is claimed, goes even further than
this. If Harrison should be reelected
he is to do his utmost to nominate AL
llson for his own successor at the close
of his next presidential term. Allison
is the only man who can break the tide
in the West against Blaine, should the
latter be considered presidential fac
tor. Allison has the strongest pull of
any Western politician. With the Alli-
son lever working for him, Mr.. Harri-
son has some show of winning renom-
ination, in the event that the man from
Maine is not factor.

TARIFF THE ISSUE,

Upon 1t, Says Governor Campbell, Ohio
Democrats Must Stand or Fall.
WAsH1NGToN, July 29.-Kate Field's
Washington letter will contain an in
terview with Governor Campbell on the
Ohio campaign. He thinks it will per-
haps be the hardest fought on record.
The tariff issue will be the most con-
spicuous feature of the campaign.
Nothing could defeat the Democrats
except an enormous corruption fund,
and even that would fail in his opinion,
first because Ohio has never been
bought. aud therefore never will be, and
secondly because the Australian system
renders nugatory to great extent all
efforts to corrupt the voters. The silver
question will be an issue but not to
such an extent as the tariff. While the
Democrats declared, after fashion, for
free coinage, yet it was upon very
clcse vote, and the sentiment Of the
party is much divided in this state. It
would perhaps be more of an issue had
any other than Major Mckinley headed
the Republican ticket. but his nomina-
uon forces the tariff issue, and upon
that we must stand or fall.

Results Fatally to Three.
CUMBERLAND, Nd, July 2S.-An ex-
cursion train from Johnstown, Pa,
brought about 1900 people to this city
on pleasure trip. They left at $50 p.
m. on the return trip. When near
lockwood. Pa, fight took place be-
tween some drunken men on the plat
form of one of the cars, to quell which
James Kelly, policeman from Johns
town, drew a revolver. This action
angered the crowd and they made a
rush for him and forced him between
the cars while the train was running at
the rate of forty miles an hour. The
coupling broke and Kelly dropped under
the wheels and was crushed to death.
Lucius Meyers, of Latroke, was thrown
from the platform under the wheels and
killed. Milton Pyle. of Somerset, was
thrown against some rocks in the ditch
and had his skull. fractured and leg

The Jury in the Elliott Murder
Case at Columbus Finally
Agrees.
The Defendant Found Guilty OF
Murder in the Second
Degree.
A Jury Secured and the Opening Ad-
dresses Made in the Davis
Will Case at Butte.

COLUMBUS, O., July 29.-The jury In
the Elliott murder case returned ver-
dict of murder in the second degree at
1880 a. N. The court room was packed
in anticipation of the report of the jury
sometime during the forenoon. Judge
Pugh entered and assembled to the
bench at 1920 and was closely followed
by the jury. All being ready, Judge
Pugh directed Criminal Clerk Mitchell
TO call the roll, and this being done
Sudge Pugh inquired if they had agreed
on u verdict, which brought out the
response from Foreman Pegg, I'VE
have" Judge Pueh then asked that
the verdict be handed up, which was
done. Judge Pugh held the verdict in
his left hand and drew the entry in the
criminal docket. AS he handed the
verdict to Clerk Mitchell to be read, he
admonisLed the audience not TO indulge
in a..y demonstrations. Tie suspense
OF the great crowd was intense when
Clerk Mitchell read the preliminary
lines of the verdict. When that point
was reached where the verdict read:
I'VE, the jury, find the defendant, W..
Elliott" Miss Nellie MarCney screamed
out and fell back in her brothers. arms
i'll faint, she evidently expecting the
next words would be guilty of murder
in the first degree. Clerk Mitchell
paused for few seconds, and then went
on to read, mot guilty of murder in the
first degree, but do find him
guilty of murder in the second
degree" When these words were
spoken Elliott pulled his Grand Army
button from the button hole in the lapel
of his coat and threw it viciously ut the
jury. Instead of weakening, w. J.
Elliott grew more revengeful and his
face took on look of widest anger.
Mrs. Elliott did not shed tear, but the
excitement was so great that she prob
ably could not realize at the time what
the verdict meant. The children all be-
gan to cry when Miss Maroney tainted.
The. scene was a most heartrending one
and brought tears to the eyes of Fore
man Pegg, while the others bowed their
heads in mournful silence.
By tue laws Of Ohio, murder in the
second degree is punishable by life i'm
prisonment, the court having no alter
native in the matter. Motion for new
trial was given. The court fixed next
Saturday as the time for hearing argu-
ments on the motion for new trial.

The Minnesota Supreme Court
Hands Down an Important
Decision.
Unless the Governor Interferes the
Redwood County Murderer
Will Hang.
A Minneapolis Child Given as Sc
curity for a Loan-News of
the Northwest.

ST. PAUL, July 2Y.-If the governor
does not intervene, William Rose, the
Redwood county murderer, will lose his
life. The decision of the supreme court
in the case was banded down Tuesday.
The evidence is held sufficient to justify
the verdict, and nothing remains but for
the governor to fix the time of Roses
execution. William Rose was tried In
the district court of Redwood county,
convicted of murder and sentenced to
be hanged. The time of the sentence
has expired, pending the case before the
supreme court, and new time must be
set. The case was appealed on the
ground that the evidence developed was
not sufficient to Justify the verdict. The
court holds, however, that the verdict is
fully justified. The objections are not
sustained by the higher court, and the
court considers thutno substantial errors
were made by the lower court to Justify
the interference Of the supreme court.
The Rose case has become one of the
most famous in Minnesota criminal an
nails On the evening of Aug. %, 1883,
Moses Lufkin, a resident Of Gales. in
Redwood county, was visiting at the
house of his nephew, man named
Slower. About s o'clock, as he was
seated on lounge, a shot was fired
through al open window near him,
which, burying itself in nis shoulder
and passing through vital organs, caused
his death. Slower sprang from his
chair at the shot, and running out of
doors saw man whom he identified as
William Rose. The issue of guilt has
been involved in the question as to
whether Rose was there at the time of
the shooting. He was seen riding
pony on the afternoon previous to the
shooting, though some Of the witnesses
claimed merely to have seen a man
dressed like Rose, and resembling him;
not, however. positively identifying the
rider as William Rose.

BUTTE, Mon., July 29.-After months
of preliminary legal sparring the cele-
brated will case involving the owner
ship Of the estate of the late Judge
Davis, the multi-millionaire. has come
up for trial. A jury was secured much
sooner than was expected. The greater
part of the day was occupied by the

have the opening and closing and which
side the intermediate portion of the
trial. The judge confirmed his decision
that the plaintiffs evidence should be
received first, that the contestants would
follow and then the the respondents
would all be allowed to bring evidence
in rebuttal. Congressman Dixon then
oIened the case briefly rehearsing the
history of the will and stating what
they were prepared to prove concerning
it. ColoneEH. G.. Ingersoll then ad-
dressed the jury on behalf of the con-
testants and had not concluded his
speech when the court adjourned until
morning.

GlAring Frauds in Connection With the
Settlement OF Indiana's War Claims.
CHICAGO, July 20.-A special to The
Herald from Indianapolis says: The gov
ernor still refuses to give out for publ.
cation the report Of John w. Coons,
who investigated the alleged frauds per-
petrated against the state at Washing
ton. 1t is said that Coons made ssnsa-
tional discoveries and learned that $780,
900 is due the state. While in Washington
it is said, he discovered the most glaring
frauds in connection with the settle
ment of the Indiana war claims, many
vouchers being duplicated. One
voucher in favor of well known physi-
clan for S53. 10 was, it is charged, raised
to $3.50 and paid. Phe governor was
asked if Coons had discovered that the
state had been defrauded out of $500, 900.
He replied: well, 1 can't say that is
the amount exactly but it is enormous.
If the claims of the state for war tax,
interest and national road affairs were
paid, the amount in total would not be
less than 81 100000"

THE CATHOLIC BUREAU,

Archbishop Ireland's Visit to the Presi-
dent Said to Have Been Futile.
S 3 WASHINGTON, July est is believed
that the visit of Archbishop Ireland to
the president at Cape May in the inter-
est of the Catholic bureau in this city
was not successful. In fact, it is more
than likely that Commissioner Morgan
consulted the president before making
the move. The commissioner says that
under the new order of things every
thing is moving along nicely. He has
recommended new boarding school at
Cheyenne agency, opposite Forest City;
also enlargement of the school at Pine
Ridge; estimates submitted for large
school at Rosebud; buildings are being
erected in every part of the Sioux coun-
try for day schools; the school at Pierre
is being enlarged; the architect has sub.
miJted plans for the school at Flandreau;
advertisements are out for constructing
the school building at Pipestone quarry;
improvements are being made in the
buildings for the Santee and Ponca day
schools.

1t IL the Result of tho Russian Attempt

LONDON, July 2S.--A St. Petersburg
dispatch says that the rsjoicings attend.
ant upon the French reception are some
what marred by the news from Finland;
going to show grave popular discomfort
in that country. During the recent
summer tour of the czar along the Fin
nlsh coast he had painful evidence of
the growth of popular antipathy toward
Russia. The tour has heretofore been
one of the pleasant events of the year
both for the czar and czarina and one
OF the invariable features was the giving
OF popular Swedish and Finnish songs
by the club known as the Jolly
Musicians. This year, in order to avoid
singing before the czar, the club dis
solved. and even tho offer of large sum
of money by the governor of Viborg
could not induce them to appear. The
cause of the discomfort is the persistent
attempt Of Russian authorities to efface
all the old Finnish customs and even
the very language Of the people. The
czarina, herself a Scandinavian, is said
to have been deeply moved by tha cold
ness OF the Scandinavians of Finland
toward the czar and herself.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 29.-Judge Corri-

Scholle to the state public school at
Owatonna. Officer Tatro. of the HUI

as she was being taken aboard Chicago

lateral for a loan made to her parents
by the Kister woman when she was
taken by the officer. Her parents were
poor, and last fall they moved to Chi
cago. They had no money, and the
Kister woman offered to advance their
fare if they would leave little Mary as
collateral. The bargain was struck, al
though with reluctance on the part of
the parents. They have not been heard
from. and for nearly year little Mary
has been at the mercy of the Kister
tyrant. Her little body has borne many
marks of cruel whirpings. She has been
forced to beg Oh the streets. and in sa-
looms. and if she didn't get certain
amount it meant a beating.

EDWIN BOOTH DYING.

A Rumor That Excessive Smoking is
Killing the Well Known Tragedian.
Buzz ARDS BAY, Mass, July 49,
There is we'll authenticated rumor
here that Edwin Booth is dying from
the effects of too much smoking.
Though he is aware that it is killing
him he cannot shake off the habit. Ex-
President and Mrs. Cleveland and
Joseph Jefferson, have striven to reform
Mr.. Booth from the excessive tobacco
use. and for a time they partially sue
ceeded, but the habit had too strong a
hold on him and his indulgences became
more unrestrained than ever. 1t is be-
cause of relapse and because he knows
he cannot recover his health that he left
here suddenly Oh Saturday and went to

That Wheat Combine,

WASHINGTON, July s9.-One Of the
leading legal lights of the treasury de-
partment said: "The farmers of the
West and Northwest are violators of
the law and somebody should tell them
about it. There was a law passed in
their interest entitled: AN act to pro-
tect trade and commerce against up
lawful restraints and monopolies.' TT
was intended to protect the farmers
against trusts and combinations, espec-
tally in dealing with farm products.
Now, acting under the advice of self;
seeking political adventurous, the farm
to make themselves monopolists in
wheat by holding their harvested prod
ucts for higher prices. The big farm
ers may hold their grain in the
elevators while the little farmers
are compelled to sell. Moreover, the
small farmers are being advised to hold
their wheat as long as possible. This
scheme is q vioh tion of law and will be
punished. 1t is scheme of onopolists
who have taken Alliance L. ders into
their service. The wheat dthlers know
that the smaller farmers will'be obliged
to sell enough wheat to keep the market
active, and these small farmers who
hold on as long as they can will have to
sell ultimately at low rates, probably
lower than they could get at first. Thus
the small farmers are to be made vio-
laters of law in the interest of the rich
men who sit in Chicago and scheme. 1t
is another effort of the brainy and
shrewd fellows who live by their wits
to make catspaws Of the yeomen of the
soil. The sooner the scheme is exposed
the better for the farmers and the worse
for the villainous advisors"

Scheme by Which Chippewas Can Oct
Their Money.
WASHINGTON. July 29.--It is probable
the Chippewa Indians will yet succeed
in getting their $150,000 reservoir fund
paid in cash. The Indians steadfastly
refuse to take plows and wagons. Their
refusal would not make so much differ
ence, for the secretary of the interior
could then refuse to pay anything,
were it not for another fact. The
Indians know that the interior depart
ment wants them to move into the
White Earth reservation, so their lands
may be opened to settlement. If they
refuse to move unless paid in cash they
cannot be compelled to move. 1t is
said at the interior department that
cash will he paid them if they will
promptly move to White Earth or else
take lands in severalty where they are.
