GERMAN Discomfort.
Split Among Socialists-WiIlia'ms
Intolerance.

BERLIN, March IA meeting Of
e,50O unemployed people was held in
the Tivoli gardens today. There was
no disturbance. The addition of thirty
eight officers and 500 agents to the
police force enables better arrangements
to be made to watch the rowdy contin-
gent. The split among the socialists,
which is now pronounced, assists the
authorities in distinguishing the dan
gerous anarchist section from the mod
crates, led by Herren Bebel, LieDknecht
and Singer. The anarchist section, judg
ing from assemblies held this week,
is Increasing in numbers. Fifteen hum
dTed members of this section held
meeting. at which they denounced the
moderates as ''officiaI socialists and
traitors to the proletariat."
The crop of press prosecutions grows
daily. Even obscure papers published
In Leipsic, Mulhausen and Hanover do
not escape the vigilance of the public
prosecutor. A Munich paper announced
the issue of a cartoon on the carnival
procession in which group presented
pictorial burlesque of the emperor's
Brandenburg advice to malcOntentS to
emigrate. The emperor wanted those
who took part in the procession pun
ished and the issue of the cartoon
stepped by the government authorities.
His majeSty'S intolerance of criticism
approaches a craze.

TEXAS sENATORsHIP.
Chiffon, Mills and Culberson in
the Hunt.


WASHINGTON, March 12.-Consider-
able interest is being manifested among
Democratic congressman over the COM
ing senatorial contest in the Texas leg
islature. The governor has called the
legislature of that state to meet in spe-
cial session next Monday, March IA, and
one of the subjects mentioned in the
call is the election of a United States
senator to fill the uneXpired term of
Senator Reagan, resigned. Senator Chill
ton, who was appointed TO fill the va
cancy until the legislature should reg
ularly elect, is being warmly pressed by
his friends, among whom the most earn
est is Gov. Hogg. Representative Mills
and Representative Culberson are also
strong competitors for the vacant seat.
The balloting for United States SEN
ator will begin Tuesday, the 22d inst,
and a unique feature of the contest is
that there Will be no preliminary Dem
ocratic caucuses to settle the question
of party preferment. AS there are only
one or two Republicans i'll the legiSla-
ture, a caucus is regarded as wholly
unnecessary, so that without any gen.
eral preliminary conferences ballOting
will begin on the 22d and continue from
day to day until somebody is elected.
Another somewhat unusual feature of
the contest is the fact that it will be
conducted without any of the aspirants
OIL the field. Messrs. Mills, Culberson
and Chiffon all announce today that
they expect to remain in Washington at
their posts of duty during the whole
contest.
AUSTIN, Tex, March IA large
number of the members of the legis-
lature to convene Monday who have ar
yived declare their intention to vote for
Mills, but this is no criterion as the
actual vote. as the members now here
are shaky on the final votes. The prob
abilities tonight are that Mills will be
elected

BIG IRON SUITS.
Two of Them Sprung in the City
of Duluth.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, March 12.-The
natural result of excitement in the
Mesabi range is litigation. Two impor-
tant suits were started today. One is
brought by w. N. Draper, prominent
attorney of this city. who seeks to have
a deed of land in township 5S, range 16,
valued at 100000, given by Edwin
Ward to James T. Hale, Alfred Merritt
and others. 1t seems that some time
ago suit was brought by Ward against
those grantees to recover title to the
land, but they compromised it and Ward
gave quit claim deed. Draper in his
complaint alleges that he, as attorney
for Ward, was not consulted, and
dition of getting third interest if he
won, he has lost thereby over S30,0C0 by
Wards breach of contract. The other
case is brought by B. f. Moore. of Min
neapolis, by his attorneys, Fletcher,
lockwood d Dawson, also Of Minneap-
oils, against John Mckinley and others
to set aside the deed for valuable iron
property in 5S-14 and 57-lS on the ground
of fraud. The complaint alleges that
the defendants, as agents for the plant
iff, sold the lands for $3.50 per acre to
themselves. having misrepresented to
him that the property contained no
iron. Mckinley says that he made no
Misrepresentation to Moore, who
worked hard to get him to take it at
$3.50 per acre. He says that the suit is
the "nastiest piece of blackmail he ever
experienced" Hale, Merritt and Nc
Kinley are three of the most extensive
dealers in Mesaba iron lands and stocks

ANXIETY IN ENGLAND.
The Behring Sea Controversy Has
Serious Look.

The Behring Sea Controversy Has
Serious Look.
LONDON, March 12.-The Behring sea
controversy is assuming serious
aspect. The latest news from Wash
ington has aroused an interest in the
subject that did not before exist. and
everybody is anxious to learn the next
move of Lord Salisbury and President
Harrison. There is AN impression in
England, growing out of the Chilian
controversy, that President Harrison
means what he says, and there is moth
ing of what Americans call "bluff'
about his warnings or lis demands. 1t
is we'll known that Lord Salisbury IS
equally in earnest, and that he will sus-
tam whatever course may be deter
mined upon with any naval power that
may be necessary.
The foreign office is reticent. and has
as yet given the public no official state
ment as to the position of the British
government, but Lord Salisbury's
mouthpieceS all speak in a tone that
gives no doubt that England's navy will
be ready for any American aggression
British sealers will be defended in cap
American jurisdiction.
England will take no offensive action,
but will be resolutely on the defensive,
leaving it to the American government
toassume the responsibility for hostile
action, should any be taken Oh the Behr-
Ing sea issue.
In one important respect, it is held,
England would gain by war with the
United States. 1t would put an end to
American encroachments on English
commerce with South America, and it
would tend to solidify all parts of the
euipire aud TO bind the American col
oRies especially more securely to Great
Britain. British commerce would gain
more than it would lose. and American
commerce would cease to exist.
OTTAWA, March 12.-Nothing is
known here specifically of the difference
between Lord Salisbury and Secretary
Blaine on the subject of the Behring sea
fisheries. The government. while not
questioning Lord Salisbury's refusal to
cantinue the moduS vivendi. processes

OUR FRIEND, THE ENEMY.
editor Mcclure Decries Senator
Hill's Chances.

CHARLESTON, S. c., March 12.-Col.
A. K. Mcclure, editor of the Phila-
delphia Times, was in Charleston for
few hours today, Ell route to Phila-
delphia. In an interview with a re-
porter he discussed the presidential sit
uation and relative standing of Hill and
Cleveland. He said: mo man of average
intelligence, who diSpaSsionateIy re-
views the political situation in the
North, can hope for single Northern
state voting for Senator Hill if nom
mated at Chicago, and the largest ma
jority against him in any state would be
in New York. This fact will be very
clearly presented and understood at
Chicago, and the nomination Of Hill
will not be seriously thought of when
the convention meets"
The only possible achievement of
the Hill movement is the defeat of
Cleveland; but it is by no means GER
tain that the positive choice of fully
two-thirds Of the people who will elect
q Democratic president, if one shall be
elected this year. can be overruled by a
reckless raid of pothouse politicians
on the presidency. Senator HIPS
political system has many attractions
active in modern politics. 1t offers
plunder for the venal, place for the am
bilious and flattery for fools, and if his
election to the presidency were possible,
there would be tenfold more dissap-
pointment in political circles of the sue
cessful party than there was under
Cleveland.
The fact that Cleveland's candidacy
does not aDpeal to the iObber or to the
vanity of the weak is the chief reason
why he is the strongest possible candi-
d ate the Democrats could present for
president this year, and the fact that
this can be a serious movement for Hill
for president i'll any section of the coun-
try suggests measure of degradation
in American politics that is uneXampled
in the history of the republic.

CARRoLLToN, Mo-, March 12.-Yes-
teiday afternoon, while Mrs. Perreton,
wife of a farmer living four miles from
unknown tramp forced an entrance
to the house. With blow
OH the head he felled Mrs.
Perreton to the ground, assaulted her
and escaped to the woods. Mrs. Perre-
ton when found was III an unconscious
condition. AS soon as she revived she
told the story of the assault. Mr.. Perre-
ton came Immediately to town, and a
sheriff's posse was formed to search for
the assailant.
The search was kept up until noon to-
day, when a dispatch was received from
Walderna stating a man had been ar
rested there answering the description
of Mrs. Perreton's assailant. The pris-
oner was brought here this evening and
was taken Immediately to the
jail, where he confessed to the
crime. He declined, however, to
give his name. An organized
mob attacked the Jail with the intention
of securing the prisoner and lynching
him, but Sheriff Reed had anticipated
such.a move and had placed strong
guard heavily armed in the Jail, The
mob became discouraged at the resist
ance shown by the sheriff and dis
persed.
Organized for Vengeance.
Another mob was formed tonight with
a better organization, and the sheriff
concluded this evening that he would
attempt to outwit the mob by spirlting
the prisoner out of town. He placed
the prisoner in charge of two deputies,
who got out of the jail undetected.
They were making for the Wa
bash station. and had got nearly there
when they we're surrounded by an am
bushed mob. Resistance was useless.
and the deputies were obliged to sur
render the prisoner. The mob made
short work of him. He was asked if he
had anything to say, and replied:
Nothing, except that Pm guilty." In a
jitfy rope was thrown over the arm OF
telegraph pole, ana in another jifTy the
assailant of Mrs. Perreton was dangling
at its end dead man. Before being
taken from the Jail the prisoner made
a full confession to Sheriff Lewis. He
he was twenty-five years of age, and
that he had relatives in Inde-
pendence, Mo. Mrs. Perreton tonight
is in critical condition, and is not ex-
pected to live. The lynching took place
at s o'clock tonight, and it was IL
o'clock before Sheriff Lewis cut the
body down after it had been witnessed
by the coroner. Thousands of people
visited the spot during the evening to
see the sight.

BALTIMORE, March 12.--The jump of
five points to 1O1 in Baltimore & Ohio
stock today caused sensation on the
stock exchange. A director of the road
explained that the stock carried with it
a 20 per cent dividend, which virtually
makes the price over 12O, a figure not
reached since Robert CARROTS retire

RAPID CITY, S. D., March 12.-The
morning session in the Williams divorce
case was devoted to the reading of
lengthy depositions for the defense.
The evidence was all directed to prov
ing intimacy between Williams and
Nettie Boyd. 1t was largely circum-
stantial, and by no means conclusive.
Plaintiff then read other dispositions in
rebuttal, and sought to show that de-
fendant's brother, P. Cox, had bought
up witnesses to prove criminal relations
with Miss Boyd. At 2 p. IN. Nettie
Boyd took the stand to deny the charges
against her. She is a prepossessing
blonde of about thirty, with fine form
and carriage. She was cool and
self-possessed. She gave de-
tailed and apparently truthful account
of her relations with Williams, deny
ing any criminal intimacy. Though
closely pressed on cross-examination,
she told a straight story. She had rid
den and diued with Mr.. Williams and
received calls from him, but she denied
that she ever greeted him with kiss,
as some witnesses SWOre. OHe uenleu
the story of Emma Delany, the peeping
servant girl, in every detail, and gave
testimony to show that much of it must
have been false, as the girl, according
to Miss Boyd's evidence, could not have
seen what she claimed from her room,
which was in the rear of the house.
Her visits 10 Williams apartments
were made in company with friends
and never alone. Her testimony weak k
ened the effect of that tending to show
criminal relations. Miss Boyd will be
upon the stand for cross-examination
again Monday. Mrs. Williams, the de-
fendant, will arrive from Iowa Mon
day, when it is expected that new yigOr
will be impaired to the contest. 1t is
rumored here thaG if Williams securess
his divorce it will be followed by hi
marriage with Miss Boyd.

Opponents of Harrison Moving to
Beat Him.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Herald's
Washington man says strong effort is
being made by the opponents Of Presi-
dent Harrison i'll the senate to have
as many state delegations sent to
Minneapolis uninstructed as possible.
Some of the senators who are favoring
this plan hope that by so doing they
may be able to prevent the president
from securing votes enough to succeed
himself, and thus enable some of the
outside candidates to win the prize.
Senator Henderson, of Nebraska, is the
last of these gentlemen who is talked
of as presidential possibility.
The Nebraska senator is very popular
in the trans Mississippi country and
am told that his own delegation will be
a unit in his favor if he so desires. Mr..
Manderson himself ridicules the sug
gestiOn and says that he has no ambi-
ton in that direction. His friends in
sist that there is good presidential
timber in him and are talking seriously
of making concerted effort to bring
him out.
