DULUTH, Mimi, March 10.-Among
the passengers on the st. Paul q Du-
Iuth delayed train from st. Paul which
arrived here at o'clock this afternoon
were w. F. Henry, the ex-asSistant
postmaster, who was convicted yeSter-
day of irregularities in the Duluth
postoffice, and his attorney, E. A. Camp
bell. 1t seems that Mr.. Campbell has
asked Judge Nelson to postpone SEN
tence till Saturday in order to allow
him to go to Duluth and hunt for the
missing stub books, which Henry was
supposed TO have destroyed. The re-
quest was granted. Upon their arrival
here, Henry and his lawyer, accompan-
led by ex-Mayor Sutphin, Mayor d'Aut-
remont and one or two others as wit
nesses, went into the postoffice and
asked permission to look over the old
papers in the vault. Postmaster How
ard was absent. and the request was
granted. After searching diligently for
over three-quarters of an hour, they dis
covered what they were in search of, and
what Howard testified that he had lost,
the two stub books of box rent receipts
for the quarters ending Sept. 80 and
Dec. 81. 1890, and March 81, 1891. They
were mixed up with other papers and
were all covered with dust. When
Postmaster Howard was informed he
was very angry and swore up and down
that trick had been played upon him.
Somebody put those there lately" said
he. "If they had been there all the
while / should have known it," Mr..
Campbell told Howard that, instead of
continuing to insist that Henry was
guilty, he should rejoice that his inno-
cence was proved, and shake by the
hand. Public sentiment is decidedly in
favor of Henry, and it is claimed here
that there is no longer room for doubt
that the case will be dismissed. 1t is
claimed by the Democrats of the city
that the prosecution Of Henry is only
part of scheme to throw odium upon
the John Flynn administration of the
office under Cleveland. Henry was
faithful employee during Flynn's entire
term. Several prominent Democrats
here stand ready to pay whatever fine
the court may impose on Henry; but
now that the stubs have been found
they will probably not be called upon to
pay anything.

RAUM INVESTIGATION.
The House Committee Working
With Witnesses.


With Witnesses.
WASHINGTON, March 10. - In the
Raum investigation today III. G. Tonner.
chief Of the appointment division of the
interior department, was examined with
reference to his having demanded the
resignation of Green B. Raum Jr., by,
direction of Assistant Secretary Bussey,
who in personal note, signed G. B.. re-
quested witness at once to secure the
resignation of -, to take
effect In thirty days, the blank meaning
young Raum, it being desired to keep
the matter quiet until the resignation
was contaminated. Witness said that
Acting Secretary Chandler accepted the
resignation to take effect at once, but
subsequently modified the acceptance
SO as to allow thirty days leave, Gen.
BusSey saying he would take the re-
sponsibility therefor.
Mr.. Enloe put in evidence the letter
of resignation of Edward Howard. In
this letter Howard said that over one
month before he wrote it he had made
certain grave charges against the ad-
miniStration of the pension bureau, and
had offered positive proof of the truth
of the charges. He had patiently wait
ed to be called upon to establish the
truth of the charges. Continuing, How
ard complained of being subjected to
petty insults and prosecutions since the
filing of the charges. He rendered his
resignation, as the annOyances had i'm
paired his health. Letters relating to
three other dismissed clerks were put
in evidence for the purpose Of showing
that Theodore Smith had spied OH men

America is the absorbing topic of dis
cussion, so far as foreign affairs are con-
cerned, and it is intimated strongly
that, should the American government
attempt retaliation against Canada,
England will withdraw from arbitra-
ton. and meet any issue that the United
States may choose to raise in the Behr-
ing sea with plain assertion of the
right of English subjects 10 hunt for
seal outside OF the recognized limit of
United States jurisdiction. The Tories
are desperate for an issue that would
arouse jingoism, and rally the country
to the support of the government.
There has been notable disposition of
late on the part of the newspapers com
monty supposed to be in the con-
ter feeling of hostility to Amer
lea and TO arouse an impression
that Americans are unfriendly to Great
Britain. In naval quarters, while Off
Gals are reticent, unofficially it is stated
that the British squadron in the Pacific
can be depended. upon to do its duty in
the event of any encounter with the
Americans. 1t is well known that, dur
ing the recent revolution IN Chill, the
Sympathies of Rear Admiral Charles
4. Hotham and his fellow officials
were strongly with the revolutionists.
and that they would have liked nothing
better than chance to rebuke the
course of the American navy. Not a
few of the CHILEAN naval officers had
been trained in company with the
British officers, and there was strong
feIlow-teeling. This feeling has not
diminished with Chili's surrender to
the American demands.
Rightly or wrongly, the sentiment of
the Tories. expressed in the clubs, the
parliamentary lobbies, and publicly ex-
pressed, is that jingo policy towards
America on the Behring sea question
Will be both safe and politically profita-
bic. and that, even i'll the grave step, it
would be the best policy to pursue.

WASHINGTON WINDS.
Mrs. Senator Palmer and a Young
Lady Injured.

Lady Injured.
WASHINGTON, March 10.-Shortlv
after noon today the capital was visited
by rain and snow. The morning was
bright and mild. and save for dark
line of clouds in the West there was
nothing to indicate such sudden
change in the weather. About noon,
however, there was decided change,
the skies becoming overloaded, and a
few minutes later the wind blew
fiercely.
Mrs. Palmer, wife of the Illinois sem
ator, who was on the way to the capitol.
had just gotten out OF a street car and
was walking to the northeast entrance
to the capitol when the gust of wind
struck her, and in an instant lifted her
off her feet and threw her with great
force to the stone tagging. Fortunately
that part of the head where the hair is
thickest struck the stone, and this pre-
vented serious injury. Her head was,
however, cut, and the blood flowed from
tine wound as she was assisted to the
ladies' room of the senate. Senator
Palmer was on the floor of the senate at
the time, and was soon at the side of
Mrs. Palmer. 1t was found, upon eX-
animation, that the wound was not at
all serious, and after recovering from
the shock, Mrs. Palmer was driven
home. At the same instant Mrs. Palmer
was thrown down two young ladies
were also knocked off their feet by the
wind, and one of them was rendered in
sensible by striking her head on the
marble coping near the stairs. She was
picked up and taken to one OF the COM
mittee rooms, and soon after after re-
covered consciousness.

Mr.. Patterson, of Tennessee, made an
argument in support of the bill and III
Weighed against the protection policy of
the Republican party, which he claimed
was detrimental TO the interests of the
negro laborers of the South. He de-
nounced the force bill as the most in
famous of all infamous measures, and
he congratulated the country that the
Republican party itself was now
ashamed of having advocated it. The
farmers Of the South and West were
dissatisfied with the present condition
of affairs and were clamoring for re-
duction of taxation. At the conclusion
of Mr.. Patterson's speech the committee
rose and the house adjourned.

CEREAL STATISTICS.
Large Reserves of Wheat and Corn
Reported.

Reported.
WASHINGTON, March 10.-The March
report of distribution of wheat and corn
by the statistician of the department of
agriculture makes the stock of wheat in
growers hands 170.O00,OO0 bushels, %
per cent of the crop-63. 100000 of spring
wheat and los, 100000 of winter wheat,
much of the latter in states which have
practically no commercial distribution,
but entering into local consumption for
bread and seed. This is the largest re-
serve ever reported, that of the larg-
est previous crop QSS4 being l69,
100000 bushels. The exports from
July to March l were 164, 900, 900 bush
els, the fall seed 100000 bushels, the
consumption apparently 200,000,000
bushels, but larger proportion is taken
for consumption in the fall and winter,
and the actual consumption is proper
tionately greater than in the spring and
summer.
The assumed consumption from March
l, 1891, to March l, 1892, is 300, 100000
bushels for population of "a, 300, 900.
the exports 206, 100000 bushels, the seed
Sc. 000,0 900, distribution of 562,000.000
bushels. With Al 900. 900 visible and ILL.,
100000 invisible stocks, there are 27, 1000,
900 bushels not directly accounted for
preyiou sly, which come in the unpre
cedented squeezing Of all sorts of re-
serves, mainly from the always I'M
counted stocks of flour between mill
and mouth, and from small uncounted
stocks between the farmers granaries
and the "visible supply"
The estimated quantity OF corn in
farmers hands is $50, 100000 bushels,
or 4l.S per cent of the crop. This is the
largest proportion ever reported, that
of 1889 excepted, which was 45.9 per
per cent, or 970,000000 bushels. The
seven principal states have surplus of
546.OO0,OOO bushels, Ais per cent of
their product, against 667,000,000 of
from the great crop of 1889.
The proportion merchantable is the
largest ever reported. 6S.5 per cent,
against S5.7 per cent two years ago. The
averaged eight previous crops is 81 per
cent and the lowest average 60 per cent
for the frosted crop of 1888. The pres
ent average farm price of merchantable
corn is 1872 cents per bushel, of unmer

TIE MEMPHIS KILLING.
MuItitudes of Negroes Flock to
the Funeral.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March lot is
estimated that 10000 negroes came into
the city from the country, and by noon
the church where the services over the
remains of the lynched negroes were
held was filled. By 10 o'clock the street
on which it was located was jammed
with negroes. The police feared
that the funeral would break
out into riot, and strong force was
held in reserve at the station house.
At 2 o'clock, officers in citizens clothes
mingled with the crowds and kept
sharp lookout over the prominent ne
groes. The bodies were brought to the
church i'll hearSeS, and as the first came
in sight a low wall broke from the
crowd. AS soon as the first coffin was
taken into the church the congregation
broke into q hymn, and the tune was
taken up by the thousands of negroes
in the church and in the street.
The preacher was very temperate in
his remarks. He had been warned by
the authorities to do nothing that might
cause an outbreak. The bodies were
taken to negro cemetery beyond the
city limits, followed by the longest pro-
cession ever seen in Memphis. The
better class OF negroes rode in car
riages, while the others utilized wagons,
carts and cotton drays. 1t is now as
serted that the leaders of the mob were
deputy sheritfS. Judge Dubois has eX-
pressed his determination to bring the
authors of the lynching to justice.

LYNCHERs IN CHASE.
Two Arkansas Prisoners Sure to
Die Quick.

DIE quick.
LITTLE Rock. Ark, March 10.-In-
tense excitement prevails in Ashley
county today, and double lynching is
not at all improbable. The cause of the
trouble is the poisoning Of Mrs. Sallie
Hannibal, who died in terrible agony
last night at her home in Parkdale.
Ben and Omer Carpenter, brothers,
are accused of the terrible crime.
Last fall Sam Hannibal, a
well-to-do farmer, was shot from
an ambush while driving cattle on the
outskirts of his farm. Hannibafs wife
was near the scene at the time of the
killing, and investigating the cause of
the shooting found her husband lying
the Carpenter brothers retreating down
the road. The murderers were never
apprehended. The poisoning of the
widow is thought to have been the
work of the Carpenter boys in order to
get out of the way the only witness
against them. The country is being
secured by armed citizens who swear
to lynch the murderers if captured.

their return home from market here to-
day Farmer Wilbur Strait and wife, of
Juniata township. found their little
daughter Ruth lying on the kitchen
floor unconscious, with her face and
body shockingly lacerated and bruised
and her clothing torn into shreds. Sus-.
picion as the author of the outrage
fell upon Elmer 2. Corbin, of Philadel-
phia. He was recently discharged
from the Huntingdon reIormatory, and
engaged by MIR. Strait as farm hand.
Corbin, who is tWenty-three years old
and over six feet tall, had fled, but was
captured this morning and lodged in
jail. The little girl identified him. She

ASSAULTED HIS FATHER.
DIR. Scudder Flies Into a Frenzy
of Rage.

DR.. Scudder Flies Into a Frenzy
of Rage.
CHICAGO, March 10.-There was
touching and sensational scene at the
county Jail today when DR.. Scudder'S
old gray haired father, accompanied by
his wife and cousin, appeared to ask the
removal of the prisoner back to
the detention hospital. They ar
rived there at II O'Clock. At
the time DR.. Noble was in
the prisoners cell attending to his
wants. The three were admitted to the
narrow corridor off which the cell opens.
Dr. Scudder's wife and cousin remained
outside the door, while his father went
inside. At the sight of the old man the
prisoners face frightened little. and
he showed the first signs of interest
since his incarceration in the Jail. ~
am glad to see you," he said in feeble
voice. He grasped his fathers hand
and kissed him. "Would you like to
see your wife?'' was asked.
DR.. Scudder made no reply. "She is
outside, and would like to see YOU"
continued the father. "She told me to
tell you that she loved you dearly. and
would give her life to serve you. Won't
you see her, Henry, and let her comfort
you?"
While his father was pleading with
him wild look came into the doctors
eyes. Suddenly he uttered piercing
scream. sprang from his cot and
grabbed his father by the throat.
DR.. Noble and an attendant Crap
pied with the enraged prisoner, and
after a severe struggle succeeded in
forcing him into his bed. At hearing
the scream his wife sprang to the cell
door and watched the struggle. When
1t was over she burst into fit Of hvs-
terical weeping. She wildly demanded
TO be allowed to see her husband, and
refused to be comforted. Jailer Morris
led the woman in a half fainting
condition to his Office, and a few
moments later the party left
the Jail. When asked what he thought
of the question of sanity, DR.. Noble
said: 81 do not like to express posi-
tive opinion. | will say, however, that
if DR.. Scudder's rage this morning at
the mention of his wife's name was
feined it was pretty good acting. It's
case where one would have to know
pretty well the story of mans life to
determine his sanity or insanity. Phys
ically the doctor is in bad way and
greatly debiIitated.
Everything that money, influence and
skill can accomplish is being done to
have DR.. Scudder taken back to the de-
tention hospital pending the hearing
before Justice Brayton. States At
tOrney Longenecker said this afternoon
that Scudder would remain in the jail
until an order from court committed
him to hospital for the sick for treat
ment. He did not believe transfer to
the detention hospital would again be
made,

An important SOuJn DakDta SUI
preme Court Decision.
Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, S. D., March 10.-A decision
OF unusual Importance, from the fact OF .
its being the first one of the kind to be-
given in the country, was handed down
by the supreme court today. IL was in
the case of South Dakota against the /
First National Bank of Clark, $. ID.
The court holds that the national char
acter Of bank does not protect it from
the laws Of any state in the matter OF /
usury. The sense of the decision may
be obtained from the following extracts: !
"With few exceptions having no per-
tineDcy to this case, the police power in
the United States belongs to and re- !
sides in the states. The police power
Of the state yields to the act Of congress.
for il is the supreme law of the land
but it yields only when and TO the ex-
tent an enforcement of the police law
would interfere with the act OF congress
or with tine free exercise OF rights

Joined by it, State sovereignty remains |
unabridged for the punishment of all |
crimes committed within the limits of it
except so far as they have been brought
within the sphere of federal jurisdic-
ton of the penal laws of the United .
States. 1t would be strained and UNI
warranted deduction to conclude that
when congress imposed the usual civil
penalties far taking unlawful interest !
common to nearly all state usuary laws, !
it meant to have such penalties cover
other or different ground. or have other
or different effect from the same penal /
ties when found in corresponding pro-
visions of state laws
The action is an Outgrowth OF the
Brotherhood of Purpose. AN order OrgaE-
lied to prosecute cases of usury.
