CANADIAN LAKE CRUISERS.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 23-The treasury de-
partment, during the past summer and
fall, has been kept fully advised of the
continued activity of the Canadian au-
thorities in building armed cutters on the
great lakes, and the report of Lieutenant
Garden, who was appointed in 1891 to in
vestigate the subject, has occasioned much
comment here, as emphasizing the need
for new revenue cutters OF modern type
upon the lakes, capable of coping, l. need
b., with those now being constructed by
Canada.
Lieutenant Garden says that the Con-
stance, now building and which ia called
a cruiser, is in reality warship. OF the
other Canadian craft now building, Lieu
tenant Garden says that the Curlew and
Felix will be able to maneuver in he Wei
land canal, and in the possible coutin-
gency of war, will maintain an effective
patrol of that canal, at least for three or
four days, until additional gunboats can
break from the st. Lawrence river across
Lake Ontario to the mouth of the We'll
land canal. Ordinary field batteries are
not sufficient to stop these ships, whereas
the rapid fire guns of the new craft will
be expected to keep hostile forces clear of
the Welland locks until IA sufficient num-
ber of British gunboats has entered Lake
Erie to menace the cities of the northwest.

TIE KANSAS Iecis, ATTIRE

TOPEKA, Kan, Dee. 23.-Joseph Rosen-
thai of Haskell county went this morning
to the Office of Judge w. c. Webb aud
signed and made oath to a petition in
mandamus against the state board of can
vassers. to compel them 10 reconvene and
issue to him certificate of mem bership
in the legislature. This, it is expected,
will be filed in the supreme court and pre-
cipitate the much talked-of fight for tn Q
lower house. Judge Webb has also the
papers prepared in the Coffey and jackson
county cases, which will probably be filed
when the Rosenthal case is filed. There
are other cases besides these, aud they may
be filed at the same time, but the judge
declines TO reveal any secrets before he
goes into court. Last night at their con-
ference the Republicans appointed steer
ing committee, consisting OF Que mem ber
from each congressional district and five
at large. who will have charge OF the Re
publican end of the contest.
The Republicans were considerably
elated today by the news from Atchison
county. where, in recount OF tha votes
for local office, IL was accidentally dis
covered that Nichols, the Republican can.
didate for the legislature, was elected, in.
stead OF the populist who received the GER
tticate of election. n contest will prob
ably follow
The Democrats seem to think that if
they should go In and help the populists to
organize the house, he populists would
then unseat enough Republicans to give
them majority over both the Democrats
and Republicans on joint ballot, thus en-
abling them TO elect a United States sena-
tor. Consequently the Democrats desire
to let the situation alone, insuring them
selves the balance of power.

IHE ASlATIC PLAGuE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23-Surgeon Cen
eral Wyman of the marine hospital today,
speaking of the danger of the reappear-
ance of cholera in the coming spring and
summer, said;
The cholera is by no means wiped out,
and the greatest care will have to be eXer'
csed to prevent its gaining foothold on
this side of the Atlantic. The speedy pass
age of a bill which shall give clearly de
fined powers to make precautionary regu-
lations, with sufficient appropriations to
make them effective. is extremely desira-
bic. In spite of all that has been done to
discourage immigration from Infected
countries, there are large numbers of i'm
migrants who are persistent In their ef
forts to reach the United States. 1t is
inadvisabie to create unnecessary alarm in
regard to the danger. | have great faith
in the sanitary intelligence and ability TO
meet emergencies possessed by the people
of the United States, but the facts have
simply got to be faced, and it is the part
only of ordinary wisdom to take precau-
tionS. "
The secretary of state today received a
denial from Consul Estes, at Hamburg,
that clean bills Of health had been issued
to vessels sailing for the United States
no withstandiug the continued existence
OF cholera in that city. Mr.. Estes reports
two new cases OF cholera today.

4 SANTA FE WRECK.
A Passenger Train Rolls Down an Embark

tion fifteen miles north of that city. The
train was due at Colorado Springs at 2;10
O'clock a. III. Several cars left the track
and plunged down an embankment Of fifty
feet The train was running at the rate Of
forty miles AN hour when the disaster &C.
Cured. 1t is marvellous, considering the
character of the wreck, that the couse-
quences to the passengers were not more
serious. Two boys are dying at the hospi-
tHl at Colorado Springs These are be-
lieved TO DE the only ones fatally injured.
though almost everybody on the train was
more or less severely hurt.
The first that any one on board the train
knew of the trouble was when the cars
began humping along the ties. Only the
baggage car, which was next TO the engine
remained on the track. The express car
turued over on its side and rolled
down the embaukment. standing on
its head at the foot OF the
slope, completely upside down. The smok-
ing car followed and immediately took
fire. The flames spread 10 the next car,
which WAS the day coach. The front end
of the day coach was upon top of the en-
baukmeu5 and the other eud At the bot
tom. This car caught fire from the other

THE SPEAkERSHIP.

WASHINGTON, Dec. % -PreSident.elect
| Cleveland has given notice to the Crisp
men, the Mills men and the various other
wings in congress that he does not want
any pulling and hauling and contention at
the outset of the new administration.
This, in effect, was the message which
Don NJ. Dickinson brought from New
York after several lengthy conferences
with Mr.. Cleveland. Mr.. Dickinson had
been here for the last three days putting in
a word for harmony here and another
word for harmony there. He finished this
harmoniziug tour Wednesday afternoon,
when be had a conference with Speaker
Crisp Much significance is attached 70
the conference. Ii Is accepted n putting
at rest all stories that the Cleveland infu-
euce would DE used 10 prevent the re cleo
tion OF MIR. Crisp AS speaker Exactly
what assurances passed between Messrs.
Crisp and Dickinson cannot be learned.
One of Speaker Crisp's leutenuuts said:
"For two days ] have been keeping track
of Mr. DlckinSon'S movements and | have
found that be has been sounding mem beTs
of congress on the strength of Speaker
Crisp. Mr.. Dickinson goes back TO tell
Mr.. Cleveland that Speaker Crisp could
not be dislo1ged even if the attempt were
made.

CABINET GOSSIP.

NEW YORK. Dec. 23.-Here is another
horoscope cast by a Washington special:
Mr.. Cleveland has practically determined
upon four members of his cabinet. Accord
ing to his present intention the next secre-
tary of state will be Edward y. Phelps
of Vermont; the secretary of the treasury
will be John G. Carlisle of Kentucky;
William Il. Morrison of illinois will pre-
side over the interior department, and J.
Randolph Tucker of Virginia will be at
torney general. This information comes
directly from the president elect. He has
made formal tender of only one position
that of secretary OF the treasury-but he
has made up his mind that if the other
gentlemen will accept the places be has
assigned to them, he will have them as
members of his official family"

DFECON,S DAUGHTER.

PARIS. Dec 23-Mr Edward Parker
Deacon scored another victory today in
the series Of lawsuits that have sprung up
between himself and his wife since Mr..
Deacon shot his wife's paramour at
Cannes. Gladys. the eldest daughter of
the couple, was placed few days ago IN Il
convent. Mr.. Deacon desired to have her
with him during the holidays, and there
fore applied TO the court of appeals for an
order appointing him to the guardianship
of his daughter during that time The
court finally decided that Mr.. Deacon could
have her every two days from 10 O'Clock a.
M, to o'clock p. m. Mr.. Deacon subse-
quently said that, while the decision of
the court was practically victory for
him. he would refuse 10 accept the deciS-
ion and would have nothing to do with the
child under French law. adding that he
would appeal TO the American courts for
lis rights and for justice It would be
gross injustice, he said, to give the guar
dianship of the child to a woman who is
notoriousiy immoral The French judges,
he said, have AS little regard for morality
and for the child's welfare as they have
for law and justice.
Mr. Deacon's Characterization of his
wife as IL notoriously immoral woman is
due, he declares, to the knowledge that since
the shooting of Abeille, Mrs Deacon has
conducted herself improperly with the
prince de PerX, comte de La RochefOucauld
and Senator Leon Renault. These three
men will be named as correspondents in
an action for divorce which Mr.. Deacon
intends to bring against his wife in New
York

Mr.. BLAINE IMPROVED,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The news from
Mr. Blaine this morning is more cheerful
than it has been ut any time this week,
but there must be always present fear of
renewed attack. This morning his pulse
was better, his temperature lower, and he
was brighter and more cheerful than the
doctors had found him any day this week.
He also took nourishment better.
"Mr. Blaine shows an improvement over
his condition." said DR.. Johnston to re-
porter this evening. when l saw him
this evening he was looking very cheerful,
and everything seemed favorable for a
quiet night"
DR.. Johnson again visited the patient at

well as at any time during the day.

A PESsIMISTIC POPE.

ROME, Dec. 23.-All the cardinals at
present in Rome visited the pope today
and rendered the usual Christmas con-
gratulations. In reply to their good
wishes for the church and for himself his
holiness said that the signs of gathering
storm were visible to all observers OF
moral and religious conditions. The
ruin and disaster, and this condition could
only be brought to an end by the healing
virtue of the church, which itself was be-
ing violently assailed. In the course of
his remarks the pope referred to the Free
Masons, whom he condemned as ma
lignant sect, who were never true to the
people, but who unfortunately were sup
ported by the government.
