committee appointed to investigate
charges of drunkenness of members of

morning, and many witnesses testified
that in their opinion Representative
Cobb. of Alabama. was not drunk when

generally testifying that in their opin-
ION Mr.. Cobb was suffering from eX-
haustiOn incident to the delivery, when
in poor health. of a long speech marked
by many Interruptions and much badger
ing on the part of other members.
Mr.. Bynum testified that it was an I'M
common practice for members to take
bnuillOn. beef tea. coffee and other
stimulants out of Gun during long con-
tinued arguments. and from knowl-
edge of Mr.. Cobb's physical condition
he was satisfied that that gentleman
could not speak continuously for two
hours without taking some stimulant.

tilted that he had seen one member

Andrew Devine. one of the official

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The teie-

fact whether there was voting quorum

WOODEN mills.
Mr.. Vest had. in former speech. as
serted that that company had, in 1891,
paid dividend of 80 per cent. and that
there had been troubles and strikes
among its workmen. Both these as
sertions had been characterized in
letter from Mr.. Whitman. the secre-
tary of the company, to Mr.. Allison
(Which had been read some days ago and
printed in the Record) as absolutely
false; and Mr.. Vest. in view of that de
NAL, undertook to prove from MIR.

was practically true. and that Mr.. Whit
mans assertion was a suggestio falsi.
As to strikes and labor troubles at the
mills. Mr.. Vest sustained his first state
ment by various extracts from news
paDers of Boston and other places.

CHOLERA SPREADING.
People Angered by the Course of

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. l. = The
cholera is said to be spreading in Mos
cow. and the people are very angry
with the Grand Duke Sergius, governor
of Moscow, both for failure of the
authorities to prevent the plague in that
city and from harshness with which the
local government endeavors to suppress
all Information as to the cholera.
Energetic measures are being taken
to prevent disorder at Nijni-Novoro-
god, where bills have been posted call
ing upon the people to follow the ex-
ample of other cities in the Volga dis

the acquisitions of the governors for
military assistance for the maintenance
of order in the towns where cholera
prevails.

A SHADY CONFESSION.
Scottish Authorities Perplexed by
a Possible Assassin.

oCOCCfSn authorities FeFpleXed by
Possible Assassin.
LONDON, Aug. IA man who is con-
fined i'll prison in Glasgow has confessed
to the authority that he was implicated
in the murder of Lord Leitrim, who was
shot and killed April 2, 1873, while driv-
ing near his lordship's residence in
County Derry, Ireland. The prisoner
also stated that he was concerned i'm the
killing of Lord Mountmorris at Rush
cen county, Mayo, Ireland, Sept. %,
1880. He further says he was hired to
assist the man who killed the informer
James Carey, who was shot and killed
on board the steamer Melrose. at Port
Elizabeth. South Africa, by a passenger
named O'Donneil.
The prison commissioners are care
fully Investigating the story of the man,
whom they have subjected to most
searching examination. and are endeav-
oring to secure proof of his statements.
None of the persons concerned in the
murder Of Lord Leitrlm and Lord
Mountmorris were ever caught. The
prisoner, whose name is William Hem
derson, is thirty-three years of age, and
all that the police know of him is that
he passed his youth in the reformatory
and was generally of bad repute. Of
his career between 1878 and 1888 thew
know nothing, but they think he was
not the sort of man to have been select
ed by the Irish extremists to assist in
such deeds as the murders in which he
says he was guilty participant.

SIGHTsEERS BURNED.

Get Badly Burned,

SPRINGFIELD, o., Aug. IA disas-
trous wreck occurred this afternoon on
the Big Four at Cold Springs, few
miles west of this city. Some of tile
running gear got out of order. and, with
out warning. thirteen loaded cars were
piled up in great confusion. Four of
the cars were loaded with naphtha,
which caught fire. The sight of the
flames brought many hundreds of sight
seers to the scene, and while they were
crowding around the wreck thirty tanks
of gasoline which were in the freight
exploded with terrific force. Two hun.
dred were more Or less injured by the
explosion, and some, it is expected, will
die.
Fire engines and a great number OF
citizens have gone TO the scene to rem.
der what assistance they can. Tonight
the entire wreck is blazing fiercely,
illuminating the country for miles
around. The financial loss is estimated
at $4,000 or over. These are the -four
most seriously injured: Tom Morris,
bllstered from head TO foot; William
Crane, burned OH head and neck; John

ST. PAUL ORATORY.

The Minneapolis Times does not know
much about st. Paul's orators. With a
praiseworthy ambition to stimulate
local genius, the GLOBE remarked on
Sunday last that our sister city had dis
tanced us at recent gatherings in the
manly art OF public speaking. The
Times undertakes to pour oil on our
wounded pride. 1t says it is true that
we nave no FRANK DAVIS or WILLIAM
HENRY EUsTIS, but we have S. LowEN-
STEIN, CUsH DAVIS and WILLIAM r.
MERRIAM. This is absurd. s. LowEN-
STEIN Is not an orator. He is a deep,
crafty. adroit, designing political boss,
who plots In silence, despising speech.
He is the idol of the "kids," and the
kids" are too acute to worship a talker.
w. X. MERRIAM is not an orator. There
is no doubt that lie has OF late risen high
above the standard of his famous
"housecieaning' address, with which he
ruddily accepted his first gubernatorial
nomination. But neither he nor Cusm
DAVIS will ever get into the class of
WILLIAM HENRY EUsTIs. They al
ways have something coherent to say
when they mount the platform. and
they say it and get through. This is
fatal to their success as orators. But
st. Paul is really not without glory in
this feld.any more than in any other. 1t
has not FRANK DAVIS, to be sure, who
percheS on the mountain peaks and
batheS his brow in the golden flashes of
the morning sun; nor has it WILLIAM
HENRY EUSTIS, who makes his vOcally
Quaverlng way about the laughing head
waters Of the Mississippi alcng with
Father HENNEPIN at Republican ma
tional conventions; but it has BILL
ERWIN. BILL ERWIN in simon
pure oratory can give FRANK DAVIS
and WILLIAM HENRY EUsTIs a head
start to the three-quarter pole, and
beat them in gallOp. lie never has to
stop for breath. There are no casura
pauses in his discourse. Whenonce the
torrent gusheS he can go OH with the
oceans fullness. He has a stock of
figures on hand which would drive Mrs.
JARLEY into bankrupt court, should
she try to compete with him, and there
is dynamic vigor about his sentences
which would inject vlrility into the
guardians of the Sultan's harem, could
they hear him. He is as graceful as the
tall pine trees from whom he is named,
and the sun, moon aud stars, with all
satellites, break out in joyful acclaim
when they catch the resounding echoes
of his melodiouS, persuasive voice. The
GLOBE was only fooling when it said
| st. Paul was deficient in orators. 1t has
| Bill. ERWIN, and it needs no other. He
is enough for one county. He is enoug h

THE CANAL IMBRCGLIO.
Herbert Confers With Foster on
the Matter.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Secretary of
State Foster had conference today
with Mr.. Herbert, British charge daft
flares, over the question of tolls OH the
Canadian canals in connection with the
resolution passed by congress. The
confer ence was quite extended. but the
results, if any were reached, are care
fully guarded. 1t is said that Mr.. Her.
bert intimated that the discriminating
tolls charged against American vessels
for using the Canadian canals, while
within the letter Of the treaty between
the two countries respecting the
navigation of the canals and the
ST. Lawrence. were probably not in ac-
cordance with the spirit Of the agree
ment- He diselaimed any knowledge
on the part of the government of the
Dominion or the mother country to en-
ter upon or authorize reprisals against
the United States in case President
Harrison acts under the terms of the
law regulating the new tolls. He prob
ably realized the inutility of such a
case, as it would lead to taxation of
the railroad traffic.
1t was said at the state department
that the officials did not know that Sir
John Thompson. of Canada, is on his
way to Washington to secure pledge
from the president that he will not

THE JUDICIAL NOMINATIONS.

1t is not easy to discuss this question
of the judicial nominations. The GLOBE
surely does not want to criticise or speak
present constituted. 1t is unquestion-
ably composed of courteous, respect
able, industrious men of high character,
all OF them having attachments above
the average, and one or two OF them pos
SeSSing conspicuous ability. BIT all of
It's members, with one exception, are
Republicans, selected in the first in
stance for political or geographical rea-
sons as much as for their personal fit
ness. The court is therefore not nom
partisan body, either in the sense
of including a fair representation
from both parties or in the sense
of being made up of the best
men. The Republicans, as long as they
we've in undisputed ascendency in the
state, did not admit that the Democracy
had any claims on these positions.
They did not even give them to their
ablest men, but parceled them out, like
other offices. for considerations of
availability, or as rewards for party
services. A party which denied GREEN
LEAF CLARK nomination for the SUI
preme bench talks with bad grace about
its lofty ideals of the judiciary. 1t is
astonishing, under the circumstances,
that We should have had as good court
as we have. But the GLOBE fails to see
how the mere fact that a man thus
chosen has served term or two gives
him any inherent right to re-elec-
ton. He ought to he reelected if
he is the most learned, the most
honest, the most broad-minded man
who can be found to take the
place. But if he is not all of these
things it will do no harm, and may do
good to displace him. A new man OF
equal parts might avail to check the in
evitable tendency to routine and per-
functoriness, aud new man of better
parts would, of course, be an improve
ment. The GLOBE has no preferences as
to candidates for any office in advance
of the convention. All it asks is that
they be capable, earnest and upright
citizens. If the Democracy names three
Democrats of this sort for the Judge
ships the GLOBE will support them.
Should they all be elected, the party
then would have no larger share of
