MIL WAUKEE'S CHANCE GOOD.

Meeting at Washington to Canvass the
Conve ntion Situation.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. IA meet
ing of Wisconsin members was held in
the room of the committee on military
affairs to-day, to receive re
ports of progress made in the mat
ter of bringing the Democratic
convention to Milwaukee. All were
present except Mr.. Brickner, who
is still in Ohio, and Mr.. CO.
burn, who is in Illinois.
Each gentleman present was given
an opportunity to report and present
his views as 20 the situation.
Representative Barwig said after
the adjournment that the meeting
was very harmonious and that the
showing was very satisfactory. 'There
is no question whatever" added Mr..
Barwig, but that Milwaukee
is second choice of very
large majority of members. All
concede that Milwaukee has much
to offer in point of POLITICAL advantages
and III what she will do for
the comfort of those who will
attend the convention. 1t is not vet
possible to state how many votes we
will nave, but it may be said that Mil
Waukee chances are as gOOu
ao those of any other city.
We expect our competitors will get
votes from neighboring states, but we
know that their second choice is Mil
waukee."
"Our chances are excellent"
said W. A. Walker this aft
ernoon, land unless something
unforeseen turns up we will win.
| have seen q great many people, and
there is the kindest feeling toward Mil
waukee. / am not ready to give figures
yet. I do not know what has been
received in Milwaukee; but do
know that in fair fight
we will win. The only thing which can
beat Us is Pc itical intrigue. Let this
contest be one between Milwaukee
and any other city, with presidential
candidates keeping out of the question,
we are certainly in the lead and in my
Judgment our chances are tirst-class."

BLOW To THE COMMERCE LAW
Decision for CounseIman IN tho Chicago
Railway Rate Case.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. lit has
now become settled law that witnesses
cannot be compelled to testify IN any
criminal cases where the answers might
tend to criminate them in any way or
subject them to possible future prosecu-
ton. Such is the effect of the decision
of the United States supreme court
to-day in the celebrated inter
state commerce case Of Charles
Counselman, appellant, vs. Frank
Hitchcock. marshal Of the United State
district court for the Northern District
of Illinois. This case is one of great in
terest to railroads and has attracted
widespread attention. Councilman
was asked whether he had ever OBJ
tanned from any railroad rates on
grain shipments lower than the
open rate to all shippers. He re
fused to answer on the ground
that it might eliminate him, and
claimed the protection of the conshtu
tiona} guarantee conferred by the fifth
amendment. Judge Gresham decided
against him, and held him in contempt
of court for refusing to answer the ques-
tions, and it is on an appeal from Judge
Tresham's order that the case de-
cided by the United States ST.
preme court to-day came up. The
courts ruling is that Judge Gresham's
order was erroneous, and that Counsel
man cannot be compelled to testify. 1t
has been said that the effect Of a de-
cision by the courts that witnesses can
not be compelled to testify will serious
ly hamper the Interstate Commerce
Commission Ill the administration of
the Interstate commerce act. The

Irish League of New York Protest Against

NEW YORK, Jan. n.-Twenty branches
were represented at a meeting of the
New York Municipal Council Of the
Irish National League of America at 5
Union Square, yesterday afternoon.
The meeting was called to endorse the
platform adopted at the national con-
vention in Chicago in 1891. The resolu-
tons adopted declare among other
things:
Unity OF action in this country is as es-
sential as in Ireland, and IL this belief all
societies and associations organized for pa
trIotic purposes are called upon to
affiliate in one common voice and
under one flag. Independent bod
les, spasmOGIc meetings and so-called
conventions purportlng to be originated
for league or parliamentary purposes, hav-
ing no national government nor head have
tendency to deceive well-meaning per-
sons who would willingly support and en-
