THE WAR OVER.
Cattle Men Surrender to the
Authorities.
Three Troops OF Cavalry Assist
Civil Officers and Seem to Favor
the Rustiers as Against the Cattle
Men. Who Are Called Regulators.

BUFFALO, WHo.. April 15.-The sheriff and
reinforeements fIom Fort Mckinney, con-
sisting of three troops of United States cav
airy, reached T. A. ranch. The cattle men
were still barricaded- in the ranch buildings
and the besieging party of rustlers were firing
volleys into their intrenchments, but few
shots being returned. AS the United States
trOops approached the rastlers ceased firing.
Colonel Van Horne, in command of the
troops, together with the sheriff, with flags
of truce, advanced to within 100 yards of the
outer Notifications, where they were met by
a representative of the besIeged cattle men.
After short paIley the stOckmen surrendered
10 Colonel Van Horne and were at once es-
corted to Fort Mckinney, where they are at
present under the protection of the troops.
The rustlers offered no objection to the cattle
men surrendeHng to Colonel Van Horne.
During an almost incessant firing, which has
been kept up for two days on the besieged
parry, only two men were wounded, one Sc
Verely.

Seward and Senator Foots.

Ex-Collector Tom" Murphy. once a familiar
figure in Washington, is here for his first visit
to the capital in eight years, says a New York
Sun Washington special. Talking to a reporter
he grew reminiscent and said:
MY first visit TO Washington was when
Seward was senator from New York. and that
was about the time he made his higher law
speech that attracted the attention of the
whole country. White young man was very
intimate with Seward and his family. l lived
the sos. My first visit to the Senate was for
the purpose OF hearing him speak. He made a
great speech. He was replied to. as l felt, in
the most bitter and insulting language by Sena-
tor Foote OF Mississippi, and the language that
he used was 30 offensive, in my judgment. that
could hardly restrain myself from jumping
from the gallery and choking him. / dned at
Senator Stewards house that evening, and to my
utter Amusement the gentleman sitting next to
me was Senator Foote. When the ladies re-
tired from the table left my seat and went
around to Seward and said:
Senator, heard that man setting next to
me at your table abuse you in such gross man
ner that was indignant. l can't understand
it.
Senator Seward laughed heartily, and called
out:
'Foote, l want this young man to 90 around
and tell you what he has Just told me-
Senator Foote also laughed heartily and said
to me:
Young man. want to give you a lesson in
politics. Seward lives in New York, and when
he makes a speech i'll opposition to slavery and
reply to him and denounce him that helps me
at home, and Seward tells me it doesn't hurt
him bit.' "

Going Too Far.

GOlnR i 90 fhE.
That Senator Hill would adopt any legiti-
mate means 70 secure the success OF the
Democratic party or advance his political
fortunes there is no doubt, but that be
would indorse any course Of action TO &C
complish his ends that would likely disturb
the peace Of the country is not for a moment
TO be believed. Therefore, the story pub
lished in a republican newspaper, and cred
tied TO an ex- United States senator Of New
York who is alleged to be a democrat,
that it is Senator Hills purpose
10 say to the democratic national conven-
tion that il it will nominate him for Presi-
dent he will guarantee to the party the
electoral vote Of New York is not worth a
moments consideration. The senator could
not give guarantee of the kind suggested
that would be worth anything unless he
proposed to employ some unusual means to
make it good. According to the story in
question that is just what he proposes to do.
His alleged plan is this: Have the legisla.
ture of New York called together in Sep
TENDER in special session and pass law
giving the legislature authority to elect
presidential electors, and on election day in
November have the legislature meet again
and elect the presidential electors Of the
Democratic party.
Il is doubtful if any democrat, and cer>
tainly no democrat who has been United
States senator, is authority for the above
story. Senator Hill knows very we'll that
the Democratic party would not sanction
any such plan. 1t would rather lose the
election than do So To attempt to carry
out such plan would bring about condl-
ton Of affairs bordering on revolution. aud
Senator Hill is too good democrat, too
much OF a statesman, and too much of a
patriot to risk running the Democratic
party or to endanger the peace and happi-
ness Of the country.
Senator Hill may not be an admirable
man from every standpoint, and bis devo-
ton to practical politics may have blunted
come Of his finer sensibilities, but personal
success is not 80 dear to him as to seek it re-
gardless Of consequences to his party and the
country.
While the means that are being employed
by Gov. Hill to get a delegation from New
York to the national convention that will
support him for the presidential nominal
ton are not those that would find favor
with a statesman OF the highest class,
nevertheless any insinuation that personal
success is dearer to him than the good name
of his party or the continued prosperity OF
the country is unjust TO him.
If the New York legislature had been
elected with the understanding that it
would SO change the law that it would have
the power Of choosing presidential electors
there would be little ground for complaint
if it should exercise that power. but it would
be manifestly unfair for the legislature to
exercise that power without having received
the consent of the people to do so. But it is
not probable that Senator Hill has in mind
any such scheme as that imputed to him,
and to say that he has is going too far.

How 70 Help Savannah Hnrhor.

I BOW 20 064p O1Ndnnau 4EE DOEs
The improvement OF Savannah harbor
| has reached that point where. for success,
I it is i'm perative that work should be carried
| on continuously. To do this it is necessary
not only that congress should appropriate
I during the present session an adequats SUN
Z Of money Tor the next fiscal year. but that
I the Secretary OF War should be authorized
to enter into contracts 20 complete the en-
tire work. 1t would be desirable il all
works Of river and hsrbor improvement
were placed upon that footing. but the
total amount carried by such bill would
be so great as 70 render its passage impos-
sible. 1t is therefore necessary that but
few works should be placed each year upon
the continuous list.
There is PROBABLY no other work Of river
or harbor improvement in the United States
where the benefits TO the public for the
amount OF money invested have been greater
than at Savannah, and. the beneficial effect
which the further improvement OF the har-
Dor would have upon the commerce Of the
whole country, without regard to section,
is well known and ineontest able.
To each member of congress, however,
the most important work of improvement
is that desired by his own constituency, and
while an unworthy measure will properly
not have much chance Of success, it is I'M
doubtedly true that merit alone will not win
in q race with merit assisted.
The river and harbor committee having
given special attention to the work of franz
ing proper bill, it is probable that the
merits of the improvement of Savannah
harbor will be recognized by it, but it is not
so probable that the entire House Of Repre-
sentatives will be possessed of any such
special knowledge, and when the knife Of
economy is welded by the watch dog of
the treasury" and his assistants there
is every reason to believe that
unless special care is taken TO pro-
vide against 1t, the most meritorious
measures will suffer equally with the least
The intricate business interests of this
country make every meritorious measure,
no matter In what section, of value TO every
citizen, and the improvement OF Savannah
harbor is as important to the merchant or
manufacturer OF the New England states
who seeks an outlet for his goods In the
west, and to the producer Of the west who
seeks market for his products in the east,
as it is to the citizen of Savannah who re-
sides at the gate through which this traffic
must pass. The education Of the latter
class is well advanced; that of the
former should be rapidly carried forward.
When the business interests OF the whole
country have expressed in unmistakable
terms to their respective representatives in
congress the demand that the improvement
of Savannah harbOr should recsive atten-
ton, aud when each representative counts
that improvement among the works execut-
ed Tor the benefit of his own constituency
there will then be no need Of fearing that
the Improvement will suffer from an unwise
or an illiberal policy.

An interesting point Of law has been
yaised in Kansas. A man murdered his wife
in order to inherit her property. To secure
his lawyers fees he gave mortgage on the
estate. He was convicted ind sentenced to
a life term in prison. The murderer's law
yers have brought suit against the admins
TRAITOR OF the estate, and the question has
been raised. can a man inherit from his wife
when by his own hand he murdered her?

held that the woman, having murdered her
husband, could moi collect his life insurance.

subject Of tin piaCe which is too good to be
passed around merely by word of mouth He
heard it from an Ohiosn, who said that during

large numbers OF tin tokens about the size of
nickel were issued in Ohio and widely circulated
as evidence that American tin plate was being
manufactured under the Mckinley act An
Irishman, recently landed In this country, who
had been in Portsmouth for about a week.

pocket, and thought that It was O coin of

after him to know il he was going to pay for
his beer. and received the reply from Pat:
Faith. an did pay for it. ] laid the money
on the counter. The bartender replied: mo
you didn't; that is tin" Whereupon Pats re .
ply came as follows: Faith an II it's tin yez

ing the bartender too astonished TO call him
back again.
