O'FERRALL'S INDEPENDENCE,
His Action in the Noyes- Rockwell Case Ma
Cost Him His Seat.

His Action in the Noyes- Rockwell Case May
Cost Him His Seat.
The echoes of the Rockwell-Noyes contested
election case are being heard in politics in q
feeble way.
When MIR. O'Ferrall of Virginia refused to
yield to the demands of Senator HilI but per-
sisted in his conviction that Mr.. Rockwell was
not entitled to the seat he occupied in the
House, significant threats were made
that he should be punished for his
independence. 1t was declared that
he should not have the nomination for gov
ernor of Virginia, though up to that time there
had been practically no opposition to him for
this nomination. and, moreover, that he should
not return to Congress. 1t is asserted that Mr.
HIN wants to make an example of MIR. 0'Fer-
rail- az warning to all who may be disposed to
resist his power
Ever since the Noyes- Rockwell case came up
1t is Claimed that extraordinary efforts have
been made by the Hill folks to injure the indie
pendent Virginian. They have carried the
war not only into his own state, but into his
district, and every effort possible is being
made to defeat his denomination for Congress-
An immense amount of outside influence is be-
ing exercised in the fight and there seems to be
determination on the part Of the New York
Senator that he shall be punished.
meeting of Hill mon, two of whom do not

night. and i. was decided that an opposing
candidate should be put up in every county in
the district. The fight between the Cleveland

STARTING A SHERMAN BOOM

A New Turn Given to the Gossip About
Presidential Possibilities.
There is good deal of Sherman talk at the
the House. An announcement made in the Al.
bany Journal intimating that the anti Harrison
men in New York had united on Senator Sher-
man undoubtedly started the talk. 1t proceeds
principally from Senators who fare opposed
to the denomination Of President Harrison.

1.-THE next best man." politics makes strange
bedfelows" is an old adagc. aud it IL just as
true today as itever was. One of the oddities
OF the political situation today was that silver
men were advocating the candidacy of Senator
Sherman, but they explained the matter to
their own satisfaction at least by saying that
Sherman was moro of an anti-silyer
man than Harrison, and he was a good
deal more polite. They say with
good deal of emphasis that it
is by no means improbable that John Sherman
will receive unexpected active support in the
convention. None of Senator Shermans init
mate friends cared to discuss the. matter nor
seemed to be feeling not OF
surprise but Of annoyance because the posi-
bility of Sherman's nomination had leaked out
in advance of the day which had been set for
its publication. -g. x
''ft is by no means improbable" said IRE
publican from the far west "that the silver
men when assembled at Minneapolis will work
tooth and toe nail for Sherman. not because
they have any use fer his views on the ques-
ton of silver but because they think he can
beat Harrison for the nomination and would
be stronger man before the people,"

THE EXECUTIVE CLERKSHIP,
Three Active Candidates For the Vacancy
One a Colored Man.


One Colored Man.
If Mr.. W. II. H. Hart, now messenger to tho
Senate committee on tho library, is success
full in his quest the place rendered va
cant by the dismissal OF Principal Executive
Clerk Young of tue Senate will DO filled by
coiored man. For some days past the
fight for the desirable position of principal
executive clerk has been growing warmer, but
1t was not until Mr.. Hart entered into competi-
ton that the contest grew really hot. There
are now three candidates The first one
in the field and the one who seems to
be the stronger is Gen. Harrison Allen of
can with a good war record. He has rem
dered the party valuable services and has not
been slow, SO say his friends. to open and
empty his pocket book when political
exigency made such Hberality desirable. Sen
ators Cameron and Quay Of Pennsylvania are
said 10 be active friends of Gen. Aliens. but
the man who is endeavoring to engineer the
generals cause is Senator HaDsbrough.
The second man to shy his castor into
the ring was Mr.. Chas. s. Martin of
Kansas Mr.. Martin has had considerable
experience in connection with Legislative
bodies BE was reading clerk and chief
clerk of the Kansas house of repre-
sontatives and was chief clerk Of the national
House of Representatives in the last Congress
People who were present at the national repub-
the reading clerk to that body. Senator b. ".
Perkins is attending to Mr.. Martins end of the
fight
The most recent entry is that of Mr.. Hart.
Mr.. Hart is protege of ex-senator Evarts',
and III letter sent by Mr.. Hart
to several, if not all of the members of the
Senate, he quotes IN Endorsement from Senator
Hoar. He also refers to ex-senator Edmunds,
ex-senator Blair, Senator Allison. Senator
Hoar, Senator Pugh and ex-senator Evarts as
to their knowledge of his qualifications.
In the same letter Mr.. Hart says: Now,
there are some considerations other than
personal which it might not be improper
for me to call your attention to in this con-
nection. No gentleman of color holds any
position IN the service of the Senate beyond
that of mental. the Senate being alone in this
respect and different from every other depart.
ment OF the government In the House of
Representatives, the State Department the
Interior Department, the Treasury Department
the War Department and i'll fact all Of the
departments the colored people are in some
measure represented by some members of that
race occupying honorable place in it's official
personnel. The peculiarly Of the Sen
ate in this particular is probably due
to two reasons. The first, because colored
citizens no longer constitute any part of the
membership of the Senate and the second.
perhaps. because properly qualified colored
candidates for responsible positions under the
Senate have not come forward on opporsune
occasions to compete for them"

THAT RUSSELL HARRISON STOCK.

Mr.. Waters Says Mr.. Harrison Never Knew
Anything About 1t.
E. c. Waters, formerly manager of the Yellow
stone Park Association, yesterday resumed his
testimony before the House committee on pub
lie lsuds, but failed to bring the papers con-
corning leases. which he had promised to
bring. Waters said that he had never spoken
to Mr.. Russell Harrison on the subject
Of putting stock in trust for him. but had put
the stock in trust for Mr.. Harrison without that
gentleman's knowledge. The witness admitted
that Capt Boutelle had charged him with car
rying gun in the park in Q buggy. He had
never been charged with trapping in the park,
but Mr.. Cummings, one Of the company's en-
ployes. had been 90 charged.
Chairman McRae-Did you appeal to Russell
Harrison to help you in that matter?
Witness-I think asked him to say to tho
Secretary that anything said could be relied
on.
Waters said that he did not know r. C.
Kerem, but had used Kerens' name as trustee
for the stock because from events which had
taken place in Montana he knew Kerens to be
O friend Of Russell Harrison's.
Mr.. McRae wanted to know whether the stock
set aside for Russell Harrison was for copsid-
GRAFTON or a. q gift: but tlre answer of tho,wif-
ness was not definite, and several nnsaa hs said
he did not know exactly why he ;hadbiAs set
aside, except that he wanted Russell Hknison
to have it, ..D5iis s,siqulo.
Finally he said that he had asked Tahssell
Harrison to see the Secretary Of the Interior
and he felt that he might want to call on him
again for something right and proper. Wit
ness had not seen Russell Harrison since he
(witness) was on the stand Saturday.

treated with greatest brutality. The little girl

a string tightly about her tongue and left her
for hours to suffer exeruciatlng torture. The

the inquest IT was shown that the little girls

Of late, the opinion grows in strength that the

to adopt better means than those at
present employed to protect women from as
saults in railway carriages. The last victim
Of the compartment system is a dress maker

cations her assallant. If arrested, will have to

of Mr.. James r. Young, late executive clerk
Of the Senate, who was removed from his posi-

had betrayed executive secrets. Those mem
bers of the press who have moved in this

falsehood of the Senatorial accusation, and
as the Senate has by ignoring Mr.
Young's appeal declined to investigate the
testimony as it may be able to secure and make
