POLITICAL NOTES.

The Democratic State Convention Of North
Dakota convened at Grand Forks on Thursday,
March "a. and elected the following delegates
TO the Chicago Convention: w. N. Roach.
Grand Forks 1st District; j. +. O. Brien. DEVILS
Lake, I'd District; Z. E. Cole, Fargo. Sd Dis
trict w. z. Purcell, Richand, 18th District,
Andrew Bleyitt. Stutsman, 5th District; j. z.
Campbell, 9th District. Altsrnstes for each
district were also elected. Thers will be con-
test in the Sd. 5th. and 9th Districts. A reso-
luton was adopted asking the delegates TO vote
for Cleveland as long as there was chance for
his election.
Senators Hoar and Dawes OF Massachusetts,,
and many other Massachusetts, Republicans,
have been laboring with President Harrison
trying to make him believe that it would be
an excellent thing for him to appoint Mr. L.
jefferson Coolidge as Minister to France.
Minister Whitelaw Reid has not yet resigned,
but he is expected to do so at very early day,
and it is thought when his leave of absence ex-
pires he will not return to Paris. 1t is be-
loved that Mr.. Coo!idge's chances for appoint
ment are very slim, as Massachusetts, is consid-
cred sure Republican State by the President.
and that the Minister to France will be selected
from New York, some other State which
is more doubtful politically than the Bay State.

old, continues to perform his duties ia the
Treasury Department, his position there being
by no means a sinecure. He is at his desk
every morning By 9 o'clock. and often remains
after the Department is closed for the day. He
enjoys remarkably good health for a man Of his

Ex-senator Tom Bowen, of Colorado, recently
left S93 900 in n bath room Of the Palmer House
at Chicago but. with his usual luck, il was re-
turned to him after about an hour, during
which time, it is said, Gen. Bowen acted like
crazy man. Most people wonld hardly carry
that amount of money around with them, FOR
the very best reason in the world, and IT they
did would not be likely to leave 1t IN bath

Mr.. Won Mumu, the Secretary of the German
Legation at Washington, has been recalled aud

There are few members of the Diplomatic

popular, or have contributed in so marked
degree to cementing and strengthening the
ties between the United States and the eoun-
tries they represent as has BIZ. Won MumnI.
The sincere regret caused by the news of mis-
recall will be tempered by the hope that &C q
future day he may return to Washington 30
represent Germany as her Minister.

cEAT OF THE CORRIDORS.

A fire broke out in the folding room of the
House OF Representatives on Tuesday evening,
March p which caused about SIS 900 damage
90 lot OF speeches and many valuable volumes
of official reports, besides making many believe
that the beautiful Capitol building would be
ruined. The fire started beneath the offices of
the Clerk of the House. in the basement, and
bid fair for time 10 be serious confagra-
zion. It happened at an hour when there were
but few persons IN the Capitol, the House hav-
ing taken recess until o'clock. and nearly
ali the members and employees were home cat
ing their dinners. When the Representatives
did arrive, they found the building SO full of
smoke that il was thought at one time that the
evening session for the consideration Of the
free-silyer bill would have 20 be postponed.
The origin Of the fire is unknown. but it is be-
lieyed TO have caught from cigar or cigaret
thrown among the papers by some employe

A bill was introduced in the House by Rep

week, which proposes to exclude political

the Government According TO the report
which accompanies the bill. $1,000 employees
will be affected by the measure, which TO

Another door has been shut against immigra-

cided that "tubercle Of lungs being classed by
the medical authorities as dangerous conta-
gious disease, the law absolutely prohibits the
landing of aliens suffering from that disease.

cannot afford any protection against the spread

Another Veteran Dead.

Henry FREEZER, an inmate of the Hampton
Soldiers Home. who had come to Washington
on a leave of absence and was trying to have
his pension increased. died Suddenly at his
rooms on Four "a half street on Thursday,
March "a. An autopsy WIS held by the Deputy
Coroner, which showed that his death was duo
to heart disease. A large tnmor had grown
near the heart, and that organ had become so
enfeebied that is was not strcag enough TO per.
form its functions. The case is y most infer
esting one to the Surgeons, aud the tumor aad
heart will be dissected and exhibited at the
National Medical Museum. The tumor which
had attained a size about equal to the heart,
had forced that organ out OF its natural posi-
ton and into the thorax. In fact, the veteran
actually died with his heart in his mouth. The
deceased has, it is understood, wife aud chill
dren living ia New York, but he has been sep
arated from them for number of years. The
Coroner gave q certificate of death from heart
disease, and the body was removed to Less
undertaking establishment to await until che
friends OF the deceased can be heard from. la
case no relatives claim the body it will be liz
TERED at the Soldiers Home.

WAsnINGTOs, Jan. 20.-General
Butler today closed his argument be-
fore the United States Supreme Court
IN behalf Of the anarchists Fielden and
Schwsb.
The better part Of General Buffers
argument was on the same lines laid
down by Solomon. The General dwelt,
however, upon the effect that the
treaties had upon the rights Of the
men TO have the whole case reviewed
by the supreme Court, and Ia this
respect his talk was on new ground.
The General admitted that his clients,
because they were foreign subjects, had
no greater right than Americans, ex.
cept the fact that under treaties gave
them tho right To have the case passed
upon by the United States courts,
and In this way there was created .
federal jurisdiction over all the do
ings OF the State supreme court, which
showed that the men were pres.
sert when It's Judgment was
pronounced, when In fact they were
not bodily present. He argued that In
this way the question was not present

abfencc of men constituted con.

Row., jan. 28.--It is learned from
Vatican sources that n few days ago
Cardinal Vannutelli had q long inter.
View with the Pope ON the subject Of n
reconciliation between the Holy Gee
and Italy. The Interview was prompt.
ed by the Emperor Of Austria, who 10
personally interested In the matter.
Austria, II II understood, asks Of the
Pope the participation Of Catholics In
the ltalinn parliamentary elections,
and q modification OF the present fsv.
orable attitude OF the Holy See toward
France. In return for this, Austria
WANTS Italy 10 change her inimlcal
attitude toward the Vatican TO one Of
friendly character, and put an end to
the religious persecution Of Catholics.
Austria has u triple end In view--to
save the triple alliance from discredit
IN the Catholic world, 10 prevent tho
Vatican going over 10 France, and to
counteract the radical movement la
Italy, which In time threatens the
position Of the monarchy. The Italian
court and government have signified
their approval Of the reapprochement
on the lines laid down.
