Bidweu, the Prohibition candidate for
president, got 6. 4i2 votes in Kentucky.
The Lawrence journal suggests that this
is accounted for by the fact that the re-
port got out just before the election that
Bidwell used to run distillery. The
report did not have the effect of cutting
down his vote in Kansas, though. But
probably his followers in this state didn't

more Of that sort of thing on his hands

Two or three members of Cleveland S
cabinet of four years ago appear to have
first choice for positions in the cabinet
that IS to be. And it Is noticeable that
most of the other appointees under the
former Cleveland administration have
laid claim to their old jobs, being en-
couraged, no doubt, by the circumstance
above mentioned. Mr. Cleveland and
his chiefs of departments may adopt such
a policy, but if they do they will raise
the biggest howl from the balance of the
expectant crowd that was ever heard in
this country. 1t would be equivalent to
saying that the former placeholders
hold the exclusive monopoly of ability,
mental, moral aud otherwise, within the
party. The EAGLES guess is that very
few of the old crowd will be in the new
deal when the divvy is made.

THE FRENCH TREATY
WIN It Was Defeated in the
National Senate.
"A RECONSIDERATION PROBABLE.

Objections Made by Democratic
Senators on the Ground That the
Treaty Would Extradite Political
Offenders = Department OmciaIs
Astonishcd at the Scnate's Action.
q WASHINGTON, May 13.-The French
extradition treaty negotiated by Minis
ter Reid is not exactly dead, but current
opinion makes it moribund. The test
vote in executive session Wednesday ap-
pears to have divided on party lines.
The most remarkable feature of it was
the fact that those few Democratic SEN
ators who usually stand by the admins
tration pretty well in it's foreign policy
cut loose and went with their party on
this question, indicating that partisan
politics lie at the bottom of it. Senator
Morgan is quoted AS saying that all the
efforts of the foreign affairs committee
to lick the offensive parts of the treaty
anto shape will be i'll vain. There is no
doubt that the friends of the admins
tration will secure reconsideration,
but it is believed that the Democrats
will be strong enough to defeat ratiica-
tion.
Department Oficials Astonished.
Great astonishment is felt in the de-
partnent of state at the news of the
action of the senate. The treaty was
very carefully drawn there, and even
after it was supposed to be in unexcept-
ionable form, amendments were made
in one or two clauses to which il was
feared exception might be taken. This
involved IA considerable delay in prepar-
ing the final draft for submission to the
senate. The long period which elapsed
between Minister Reid's resignation and
the appointment of his successor was
due in part to the doubt in the prcsi-
dents mind whether it would not be
necessary for Mr.. Reid to go back and
conduct in person the negotiations for
the proposed changes in the text. This
was found to be unnecessary, however,
and the two governments were able to
settle all tho questions by correspond
enee.
To Protect Political Refugees.
The pending treaty follows with con-
siderable nearness the lines of the ex-
isting treaty with England. 1t may be
remembered, however, that when that
treaty was undergoing revision certain
clauses Were pronounced offensive to
this country, because they were drawn
with latitude of terms which might
have justified demand on England's
part for the extradition of political
refugees provided the call were cleverly
cloaied. The objections then came
from Democratic source, aud aimed at
the protection of Irish reyolutionists
who had made themselves obnoxious to
the crown. France is now undergoing
q revolutionary spasm, in which sim
tlar situation is liable to be developed.
III is believed. therefore, that the Demo-
cratic senators are obstructing the rati-
fication of the treaty in the interest of
possible refugees who may seek this
country as haven of safety.

The Constitution Question. Referred to
the Next General Conference.


OMAHA, May 13.-Bishop J. W. New
man presided over the Methodist Epis-
pal general conference yesterday, and
Rev. Mr.. Halstead, of Indiana, led the
devotion al meeting. The bishop held
the conference to strict observance Of
good order.
Rev DIR. I.nnahan offered a resolution
providing that the bishops might, in
following the rules already in vogue,
count five years in every ten for the ap-
pointment of the itinerant ministry.
This is to permit II minister to be re-
turned to II charge after the lapse of five
years, and is simply to make the rule
more definite.
A resolution was introduced by the
book agents of the church calling for a
revision of the church law relating to
the management of the publishing
houses. On account of the fact that a
part of the law had become obsolete,
DIR. Hunt wanted the committee on the
book concern to make the revision and
then report the action to the confer
ence. DIR. Neeley wanted the paperTe-
ferred to the committee on revisals, but
it went to the committee ON book con-
cern.
The constitution question was finally
disposed of by the adoption of resolu-
ton to postpone the whole matter, to
print the constitutional committee report
in the church papers, and to take up the
question again ut the next general con-
ference

Urging Hawaiian Annexation.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 13. From pas
Bengers ON the Mariposa it is learned
xhat on the 2sth inst. the Hawaiian leg
3slature will meet, and that the most
important subject to come before that
body will be the question of annexation
to the United States. From what can
be gathered the proposition seems to
meet with favor, but is not considered
very hard matter to determine the
outcome if the legislature submits the
qnastion to the people. The sugar
p,ssTcsrs are working for annexation, and
are using all means to carry it to sue
cessinl issue. The planters are said TO
be making many converts, and if gem
nral sentiment at this time counts for
anything annexation will be voted on
