to relieve President Mcleod of the de-

he may give undiy ided attention to the
railroad.

Says New York is in Duty Bound
TO Send Stronger
Nan.
His Choice Would Be a Disap
pOntment 10 the State
and Nation.

New York, Dec. 27.-The Times viii
tomorrow print an interview with Pres
ident-elect Cleveland as to his favorite
candidate for United States senator 10
succeed Hiscock The president-elect
is quoted rs saying:
1T must not be forgotten that the
party has very hard task to perform
if we expect to keep the word we have
passed to the people of the country.
They have given us a phenomenal mat
jority, one showing that they expect us
TO do much. In doing this a great deal
depends upon the state Of New York
and its great metropolis.
The interests of the state and of the
party demand, it seems 10 me, the Sc
lection Of a senator who can not only
defend the principles of our party, but
who can originate and promote poll
cies that may be presented for consid.
Grafton in the senate. In order to In
sure this, the senator from New York
should be man not only experienced
in public affairs, but who has a clear
conception of vital issues with which
we must deal during the next few
yers.
Speaking frankly, it does not seem
to me that the selection of Mr. Murphy
shows a desire or intention of placing
in the senate men of such a type.
This first use of our power would
cause much disappointment not only
in New York but in the country. This
the parry ought not to be called upon
to face"

The Famous FopuIist Member OF Con-
gresS Announces His Candidacy.
TOPEKA. Kan, Dec. 27-Congress-
man Jerry Simpson arrived here in
time for Christmas dinner, but his ar
rival was not generally known until
yesterday. lie put all doubts to rest
concerning his candidacy for the
United States Senate by announcing
that he was candidate. lie said,
however that his presence was due
more to a desire to help the Populists
endeavor to organize the House than
in his own interest The organization
Of the House, he further said, depended
upon the Supreme Court, before which
the House contest cases recently mem
toned IN these dispatches had been
filed. OF course the court could not
finally settle the contest, but what the
court could do was TO prevent a man
FROM working wrong, which was all
the Populists asked.
Confidence grows in Republican cir
cles that the Supreme Court will not
interfere in any Of the cases. They
have employed attorneys to appear in
behalf of the State and County Boards
OF Canvassers, but they are not ex-
pected 10 make any very great effort.
A prominent Republican intimated as
much, and also said that as none Of
the confessed cases were based upon
the charge OF fraud the court would
take no action in the matter The
charge Of fraud was the only one the
court could recognize as 81 Just basis
for action.

Oa the road from Irkutsk to Kiachta, the

Arctic Ocean to the Yellow Sea-" says that
its origin is undoubtedly volcanic. 1t con-
tains Il, 600 square miles, and has an aver
age depth of over 5000 feet The cold is SO
terrible that when a hurricane stirs the
waters the waves often freeze as waves, re-
naming in hummocks above the surface.
at the time of the authors crossing how
ever, the cold had caught the earth asleep,
and the ice was perfectly smooth. He had
80 miles to drive on the solidified ice.
He says: lowing to the marvellous trans
parency of the water, the ice presented the
appearance of polished crystal, and /. al
though of undoubtedly great thickness,
was so colorless that it was like passing
over space 1t gave ME quite an uncanny
feeling az first to look over the sides of the
sledge down into the black abyss beneath.
This feeling, however, gradually changed
to one of fascination. till at last fund it
difficult to withdraw my gaze from the
awful depths, with nothing but this sheet
of crystal between me and eternity. About
halfway across stopped to make sketch
and take some photographs 1t was nD
easy matter, for the ice was so slippery that
ip.spite of my felt snow-boots I could hard
ly stand. The lake was marvelously still,
yet the silence was occasionally broken by
curious sounds, as though big guns were
being fred at some little distance. They
were caused by the cracking of the ice here
and there.
II was told that in some parts of the lake
there were huge assures through which the
water could be seen, For this reason it is
always advisable to make the journey BY
daylight. We reached Moufshkaya, on the
opposite shore, III tour hours and half
after leaving Liestveuitz. the horses having
done the whole distance OF over 80 miles
with only two stoppages OF few minutes
each. 1t was evidently an easy bit of work
for them, as they seemed as fresh when We
drew up in the post yard as when they
started in the morning"

medicine is administered to one the her is

ious circumstance is that when q sentence is

on her back and the other on her side, which
gives an idea of the great fexibility Of the
connection. The children are very good
friends, and seldom quarrel, but when younger
their proceedings were not marked by that
unanimity which they have since discovered
to be essential to their circumstances. As
might be expected, when their relations be-
came strained there was considerable ten

Startling Evidence Secured by Which Great
Mysteries Are Cleared Up.
Pearson's Weekiyl
At a recent sitting of the Berlin Poly
technic Society. Dr. Jeser;ch, chemist to
stances of the use OF microscopy and pho
biography in the detection OF crime. Some
time ago man in the Palatiaate was sus-
pected of the murder of a young girl On
the shoulder OF the girl hair had been
found which appeared to be part OF mans
beard, but when magnifed l, oo-fold, it
was found to belong to an old yellow dog
with short hair. Later investigation proved
that the owner Of such dog had pcrpetrated
the evil deed
In another case, a struggle had taken
place between the murderer, a man, and his
female victim, during which hair was freely
palled out. and here again the hair led
directly to the discovery of the true GRIM
inai. This man was bald, and as the hair
which was found in the murdered woman's
hand showed little or no root, Dr. Jeserich
guessed that badness must exist, Investi-
gatih showed the identity of this hair with
that of the murderer In third case OF
murder some bioodstains were said to have
been caused bv the slaughter of goat,
which was Indeed proved to have been
undertaken by the man feS days previous
to the trial. But when the blood was en-
larged 1n,OO0-told, the difference be-
tween human and goats blood was clearly
seen.
In the case of erasures and alterations IN
documents, photography has proved very
useful, inasmuch as the chemical action
brings out any slight differences in the inks
used. Several instances were quoted. In
one case a bill was presented on the estate
OF lately deceased farmer, amounting to
20, 200 marks. The heirs said that tn. de-
ceasea's debts amounted to but 400 marks in
all, and, when the document was photo
graphcd, two inks were brought out The
first 2 had been prefxed to the original
number 1, which in its turn was altered to
an O. a was lett untouched, and two more
0's were added, thus showing the original
demand to have been l. marks only.
