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 in 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 a presidential possibility.
The Nebraska senator is very popular
in the trans mississippi country and
am told that his own delegation will be
unit in his favor if he so desires. Mr..
Manderson himself Tidicules 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 a concerted effort to bring
him out.

BIG DEAL PENDING.
The B. & o. and Reading Roads
Are Movers.

BALTIMORE, March 12.--The jump of
five points to 1O1 in Baltimore & Ohio
stock today caused a 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 Garrett's retire
ment from the presidency. Simutan
eously with this jump of five points in
B. IL o. stock comes the story of rail
road deal, which, if true, will be one
of the most important of recent years.
A Philadelphia paper states that it is
generally believed in that city that the
Baltimore & Ohio and Reading COM
panies have completed arrangements for
the lease of the Norfolk & Western rail
way and that the details so far as they
interest the public will be announced in
a few days. 1t is also stated that the
Reading has secured lease OH the New

Special to the Globe.
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 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 a kiss,
as some witnesses SWOre. Sne Qonleu
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
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 that if Williams securesS
his divorce it will be followed by III
marriage with Miss Boyd.

CHARLESTON, S. c., March 12.-Col.
A. X. Mcclure, editor of the Phila-

few hours today, Ell route to Phila-
delphia. In an interview with re-
porter he discussed the presidential sit
uation and relative standing of Hill and
Cleveland. He said: mo man of average
intelligence, who diSpassonateIy 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 Overrued by a
reckless raid of pothOuSe politicians
on the presidency. Senator HIPS
political system has many attractions

there would be tenfold more dissap
