GEORGiA's VOTE.
An Atlanta Man Gives 1t to New
York.

NEW YORK, Jan.15 .-Evan P. Howell.
OF the Atlanta Constitution, arrived at
the Fifth Avenue hotel last night. He
said that the Georgia member of the
national Democratic committee will
cast his vote in favor of this city as the
place for holding the national conyen-
ton, and that the twenty-five delegates
Georgia sends to the convention will 90
unlnstructed.
They will vote" he said, with the
delegates from the Northern Democratic
states. providing the representatives
from those states do not cast their votes
for Cleveland. Georgia is thoroughly
anti-Cleveland state. 1t can't be any
thing else, because in the state there
are $4,000 Alliance men, and every one
OF these men is bitterly opposed to
Cleveland. If the Democracy wishes to
carry Georgia. Cleveland must be set
aside. The first choice of the Georgians
is undoubtedly Senator Hill. The sec
ond choice of Georgia is perhaps Sena-
tor German"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-After the

house took up for consideration the re-
ports of the committee on accounts, as
signing clerks to the various committees
of the house, and discussion ensued as
to whether there was not extravaganza
in these assignments. Mr.. Dickerson,
of Kentucky. quoted statistics to show
that there was undue expenditure in
this respect, and favored the minority
report, cutting off several of these
clerks.
Messrs. Boatner, of Louisiana; Moses,
of Indiana; Snow, of Illinois, and Wise,
of Virginia, favored the majority report
OF the committee, and Mr.. Mansur,
of Missouri. favored the minority re-

every senator. yet now proposing to cut

The souvenir volume taken by st.
PauPs ENJOYS to Washington has for its
mission comprehensive answer to the
ISLANDERS that have been going the
rounds of the press against the facili-
ties offered by the twin metropolis of
North Star state. Its caption is "a Few
Facts Relative to the Hotel Accommo-
dations of st. Paul, Minneapolis and the
Lakes"
Like everything that emanates from
this city at times when the patriotic
zeal Of her progressive citizens is
aroused, it is we'll done. The souvenir
is an artistic gem. and creditable re-
fiex of st. Paul's talent and innate taste.
1t will at least diSpel one baneful fall
lacy. 1t will convince The East that the
great new cities of the West are enjoy
ing an equal degree of civilization and
advancement with the older cities of the
country.
The souvenir comprises thirty-seven
elegant half-tone cuts, together with the
circular plea of the committee on promo
ton, and compilation of reliable sta
tlstical facts, including the hotel capac-
ties of the two cities and their environ
mentS, the distance from every metro
politan city in the Union, and map of
the United States. The cuts, which
represent the principal caravansaries of
st. Paul and Minneapolis and bits of
picturesque and romantic scenery adj
iacent to the cities-Lake Minnetonka,
Minnehaha falls, White Bear lake. Lake
Elmo, etc.-and an interior and per-
spective of the auditorium, are taken

facility of the real artist, and they are
the work of Messrs. Brandlett & Dygle,

art, and is entirely from the press of
the st. Paul Evening Dispatch. The
plates are printed upon very heavy sup
ersized and calendered tinted paper,
and are placed in handsome heavily
padded black Russia covers. neatly tied
with ribands, and this is the product of
the Dispatch bindery.

PRESERVE THE FORESTS.

secretary Noble Appeals to the
Land Committees.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Is. = Secretary
Noble has written letters to the senate
and house committees on public lands,
urging that prompt and efficient steps
be taken by congress to protect and pre-
serve from depredations the forest res
ervations which have recently been ere
ated by proclamation of the president.
The secretary has taken deep interest
in the matter of forest reserves, believ-
ing that only by preserving the forests
at the headwaters of the mountain
steamS of the middle and the far West
can those streams be kept from drying
up, and the country tributary 20 them
lapse again into an arid waste. The
secretary believed the danger from this
source is imminent, and for that reason
he thinks that whatever is done in this
direction must be speedily done. Fires
every year devastate large tracts of
forest lands, and depredations from one
source or another render prompt pre-
sentative measures absolutely essential.
Within the next twenty years, the sec
rotary predicts tue wisdom of preserv-
ing the forests of the West will have be-
come universally recognized.

THE DALLES CANAL.
Mr.. Herman, of Oregon, Proposes
New Plan.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 15.-Members of
the house committee ON rivers and har-
bors say that it is safe to assume that
the river and harbor bill will be consid-
erably less than that of the last congress,
and that no new improvements will be
recommended unless they are of ex-
ceptionable merit. The friends Of the
plan to afford relief to the great wheat
growing region OF the far Northwest by
the construction of canal or ship rail-
way around the dalles of the Columbia
river, and thus afford water transport
tation to the Pacific ocean, have aban-
doned these more costly projects and will
endeayor to have less expensive w Ork
OF Improvement authorized by congress.
Representative Herman, of Oregon,
today introd uced bill having this end
in view. 1t appropriates $4,000 for
tie construction of portage railway
around the Dalles. The ship railway
project involves an appropriation of
s2.S00,000, and that for canal and locks
S3,500,000. Mr.. Herman said that the
plan proposed would give temporary
relief and that the works constructed
could be utilized whenever ship rail-
way or canal was approved by con-
greSS.

A MURDERER's DEN.
Discovery of Death-Trap in Ok
lahOma.

CHANDLER, o. T., Jan. 15.-For years
the disappearance of travellers in the
Indian country across from here has
been frequent and mysterious. Today,
in dense wood mile from the stage
road, house was found which
was approached only by a long,
circuitous trail, and thereby the mys-
FERROUS disappearance explained. The
construction of the house shows that it
was built by and for the use of robbers
and criminals generally. 1t is cabin of
four rooms, one behind the next. In
the doorway between the first and Sec
ond was found trap over which the
unwary stranger must pass. By an ar
rangement of bolts this trap. which led
to large cavern below, could be worked
much like an execution scaffold. That
murder was the purpose of the trap was
shown by the discovery of hair, dried
blood and bones on the rocks at the bot
tom of the pits under the trap. The in
habitants Of the den, however, are
missing.
