for the Treasury Port

Heeting of the Congressional
Delegation to Secure
Unity Of Action.
Ais Name Received With Fa-
vor by Southern and West
ern Democrats.
Kansas Populist Officers-Elect
Decide Against en Inau-
gupal Ball.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE meeting
Of the Illinois delegation today has re-
vived speculation in this city as to the
possibility of President Cleveland Sc
lecting lis secretary Of the treasury
from the West. Ever since the election.
when Illinois surprised the nation by
giving the Cleveland electoral ticket
plurality of nearly 10000, the impress
sion has been general, not only IN the
West, but in this city as well, that the
only thing that could prevent the presi-
dent-elect from following out his nat
ural desire to recognize the triumphant
Democracy of Illinois, by giving the
Prairie state representation in his cab
met, would be the failure of the promi-
nent Illinois leaders themselves TO unite
in deciding who should be presented for
the great honor.
The initial step towards securing
unity of action in the Illinois delega-
ton was taken in meeting called to-
day by Senator Palmer, and was at
tended by the various members of the
Illinois delegation. Hon. William B.
Morrison, the man most likely to be
presented by the Illinois delegation to
PreSdent-elect Cleveland for cabinet
portfolio. was present by invitation,
and, while no decisive action was taken
as TO
The Course TO he Pursued,
by the delegation in thesall important
question, the discussion Of the day de-
veloped general good feeling and indi-
Gated that at the proper time the Illi-
nois delegation would be able to act har-
mOniOusly in the recommendation to be
made to President Cleveland. 1t is un-
derstood that National Committeeman
Gable is prepared to act as the repre-
sentative Of the Illinois Democracy in
delcately suggesting to President
Cleveland the good results to be OBJ
tanned In selecting Col. Morrison for
secretary of the treasury, and the long
experience of Col. Morrison as the
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee in the house OF representatives
has caused the suggestion of his ap-
pOlntment to this place to be received
with great favor 10y the Democrats of
the South and West, where the veteran
tariff reformel has always been a ia
VOrite.
Col. Morrison himself naturally de-
ClineS to discuss the probability of his
selection as a member of the cabinet,
but his friends feel confident if the
president decides to turn from New
York for his secretary of the treasury
the selection will fall upon the man who
for many years was the framer of the
revenue and financial legislation of
Democratic congresses.

FIRST TO PASS.
Army Appropriation Bill Goes
Through the House.

hiuy hppfOpFIdtlOH Dill GOeS
Through the House.
WAsHINGToN. Dec. 1.-THE house
entered actively into the work of the
session today, and, after an hours de-
bate, passed the army appropriation bill
practically without amendment. There
was some skarp discussion over novel
amendment presented by Mr. Anthony,
of Texas, prohibiting retired army Off
GERS from drawing pay from the govern
ment in any other capacity. butt it was
finally defeated. The appropriations
carried by the bill are $24, 202, 740, against
appropriations for the current fiscal
year of S24. 288, ,0f0, and against an esti-
mate OF $25, ,922,956 for the coming wear.
This is the first of the appropriation
bills to be passed. But the early passage
OF this bill presages nothing. The first
appropriation bill passed by the first
session of the house in the present
congress was that providing for the eX-
penseS Of the District of Columbia. Yet
that Was the last of the general appro-
priatlon bills to reach the president and
to be signed by him. However, Chair
man Cultivate and the members of the
military committee were elated at the
quick action Of the house upon their
bill today.

The Distinguished Minnesotan
May Go Into the Cabinet.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE Mime
sofa Democrats are in the race for a
cabinet position. A quiet but earnest
and dgnified effort will be made to Sc
cure for Judge Wilson the law portfolio.
His name has already been presented
for Cleveland'S consideration. and as
Surance is given that Judge Wilson is
regarded by the president-elect as pre-
emlnently fitted Tor the position of attor-
ney general or secretary of the interior.
What has been done to bring about his
appointment is, of course, a secret, but
the unanmity Of the influential men of
the state in Judge Wilson's behalf is
known to have had good effect. In ad-
ditlon to the fact that he is indorsed by
the party leaders of state, Judge Will
sons chances are strengthened bv MIR.
CIeveland'S personal regard for him.
His ability and fine social qualities
have been thoroughly tested by Mr..
Cleveland. 1t can be authoritativeiy
announced that if any Minnesotan is
given cabinet position it will he Judge
Wilson.

FOUR MURDER TRIALS.
Quartette of Sensational Blue
Earth County Gases.

Earth County Gases.
Special to the Globe
MANKATO, Mimi, Dec. 14.-The case
of Carl Wilson, for killing Christ Thor
stad at dance at ButteInut Valley last
winter, is being tried here. 1t will be
remembered that young Thorstad
dropped dead in very mysterious man
ner, and medical examination showed
that he had been kicked in the lower
part of the abdomen. Only one witness
testified to having seen Wilson kick de-
ceased. All had been drinking, and it
appears to have been case OF bad COM
pany. Young Wilson denies the charge.
and his father, who has plenty of
means, will leave no stone unturned to
clear his son. The testimony will
doubtless all be taken by tomorrow.
The next case TO be tried is that of
Charles Brown for killing Elias Gustav
son about year ago. They were both
employees in brickyard, this city, and,
after Wrangling over trifing matter,
Charles Brown, who is young man
residing with his widowed mother,
struck Gustayson blow over the head
with club, from which he died in
few hours.
The third and most SenSatlOnal muir
der trial to come off at this term of
court is that of Mrs. Martha Kuester,
who in August murdered her two little
children at Eagle Lake. The GLOBE
gave detailed account of this unnat-
ural and tiendsh crime at the time it
was perpetrated, and told how this
young mother, who is but twenty-four
years of age, fed rat poison to her
one-month-old babe and drowned her
three-year-old boy in we'll while
asleep. Mrs. Kuester's attorneys Will
make insanity their plea with which to
defend this heartIess woman, who shows
no remorSe.
After Mrs. Kuester's case IS finished
that of Frank Giefer will follow for the
unprovoked murder of Leonard Rowey
on the nth of August last. There seems
to be no loophole whereby this man can
escape justice, for after his arrest and
before he had employed any counsel he
confessed the crime in all its horror and
told where the hammer could be found
which he had used on his victim. He
claims he did not intend to kill RoWey,
robbery being his purpose, and only Sc
cured about IS.
Mrs. Kuester and Frank Giefer will
be tried for first degree murder. and
Carl Wilson and Charles Brown for
manslaughter in the first degree.
