Says the Argus-Leader;

So far, Mr.. Cleveland has shown a
decided preference for lawyers as cabi-
net timber. All appointed so far. ex-
cept Dan Lamont, are members of the
legal fraternity, to which profession
both the president and vice president
also belong.
And nearly all are corporation law
yers at that, doubtless as token of ap-
probation of the valuable aid rendered
by the Populists at the recent election.
Where are'we at, anyhow, in this era
of reform?

NEW CAPITOL SCHEME.
Project to Plat a City on tho Kandi.

Projectto Plat a City on tho Kandi-
yohi Site.
ST. Paul, March 1.-The movement
looking toward the ultimate. location of
the Minnesota state capitol on the site
in Kandiyohi county has taken definite
form in the senate. Senator Glader has
introduced bill incorpofa fating the new
est scheme. The purpose is to instruct
the governor to appoint commission
of three. one of whom shall be resi-
dent of Kandiyohi county, the governor
to be member ex-officio Of the board.
The board shall employ secretary and
then make a omprehensive inspection
of the capitol site, so-called, in Kandi-
yohi county, with a view to plating
and laying out city. The commission
will then report the result of its labors
to the next legislature.
OF course there is something behind
the project beyond establishing city
site. It will be followed by capitol
bill locating the building in the heart
Of the proposed city. There is a ques-
ton in the minds Of some of the sena-
tors, however, as to whether or not the
bill will run the gauntlet Of both
houses. M
The caption of the city projected is to
be Blaine, and SIS, 600 is appropriated to
cover the expenses of the commission.
and the survey and plat are to be fled
with. the governor June 1.

RETURN OF THE JEsUIrs.
The ReichstaE Votes to Revoke the
Decree of Expulsion.

Belin. Dec. In the Reichstag to-day
Count Hompezch, member of the center
or Catholic party, moved the revocation
of the decree ordering the expulsion of
the Jesuits from Germany.
Baron Mantuffel conservative; Herr
Merbach, Reispartei, and DIR. Won
Marquardsen, national liberal, declared
that the parties to which they belonged
would oppose the revocation Of the decree.
Herr Won Holleffer, German conserva-
tive, said that his group would abstain
from voting on the motion.
Herr Lott, anti-semite, declared that
the members of that party were free to
vote as they pleased.
The motion was put to a vote aud car
ried by vote of l73 to 1856.
SEVERAL NOTABLE SPEECHES.
Several notable speeches were made on
the motion for the return of the Jesuits
to the empire. DIR. Leiber. leader of the
clerlcals, spoke at great length. The
Catholic church in Germany, he said,
needed the services of the Jesuits to en-
able it to fulfill its divine mission. The
assertion had been made that the vatican
followed a policy hostile TO Germany's in
tercsts. This was false. Only q short time
since Cardinal Rampolli had declared
that the vatican sJudiously avoided med
ding in the political affairs of the triple
alliance or its opponents. If the vatican
ever should display policy friendly to
the anCo-Russian alliance, German
Catholics would not then interpret the
doctrine of papal infallibility in such n
manner as TO interfere with their duties
toward the German empire.
LOYALTY OF THE GERMAN CATHOLICS.
Many reflections had been cast from
time to time upon the loyalty Of the Ger
man catholics. The assurance could be
truthfully given, however, that the Ger
man Catholics would remain faithful to
the emperor and empire in the future as
they had in the past, and would be ever
ready to show their loyal devotion TO the
fatherland. DR.. Lieber's declaration was
received with loud cheers.
A great crowd waited In the rain on
the outtide of the Reichstagato learn the
result Of the vote on the motion. The
street was packed as at no time recently,
except when the vote on the army bill
was taken The police were hardly able
to clear passage for the deputies enter
ing and leaving the building.
The ministers listened TO the debate,
without offering to speak for the govern
ment. Chancellor Won Caprivi was mo-
tionless and eagerly attentive from the
beginning to the end of the speeches.
MAY NOT PASS THE BUNDEsRATH.
London, Dec. THE Berlin correspon-
dent Of the Daily News thinks the Bun
desrath will refuse to indorse the motion
for the repeal of the anti-Jesuit law.
Prussia, he says. is regarded as most
likely to oppose the motion, and thus rob
today's vote in the Reichstag of its prac-
tiCal value

eral Women From the Building.
Chicago, Ill, Dec. 1.-The HaymarlIet
theater at Halstead and Madison streets
caught fire this morning at 10 o'clock. 1t
proved one of the worst fires the depart
ment has had to contend with for many
years, on account of the freezing weather,
which caused some DELAY in getting the
engines to play on the burning structure.
The front of the building, which was
occupied by stores, saloons and offices of
doctors, dentists, photographers, real es-
tate agents, and jewelers., was completely
Quilted.
The fire wall which separated the thea
ter from the front of the building, saved
it from destruction. The only damage
done TO the theater, which is managed by
w. j. Davis and George Fair, was caused
by water, which poured into the foyer
and part of the second balcony. The loss
to the theater will not exceed 50, 900.
1t is estimated that the loss on the
buildings and its contents will amount to
100000. The total insurance is 1922, 800
on the building and theater, $4,000 being
placed on the former.
The fire was discovered by the ianitOr
in the portrait frame room of w. II.

NEGROES KILL A PLANTER
Both Caught and One COlfeSSeS the
Crime.

A Feeling That Lynchers Would
Avenge the Crime Before Dawn This
Morning-The Victim Arthur Rey-
nolds of Pike County-Robbery Prob
ably the Motive of the Murderers.
Griffin, Ga, Dec. News has just
reached this city of cowardly murder
and robbery which occurred at Birch
Creek, three miles west of Concord, late
last night.
Arthur Reynolds, a quiet, respectable
and prominent white farmer of Pike
county, carried a load of cotton seed to
Concord yesterday, and on his return
home late last night was waylaid, bru-
tally murdered and robbed by two ne
groes, Lucius Hope and George
Wimbush. When the mules and wagon
arrived at Mr.. Reynolds brothers
house at midnight last night, minus
the driver, a search was at once in
stituted. The body was found this morn
ing three miles from Concord, on Birch
Greek swamp. 1t was so bruised and
crushed in the head and face as to make
it almost unrecognizable by his friends,
but officers and citizens soon begun a
search for the guilty parties and soon
found suspicious character with brass
knucks in his pocket covered with blood.
This negro brute was arrested and CON
fessed the crime, giving the name of his
accomplice, George Wimbush.
The chief of police here was notified by
wire to look out for the fiend and detec-
tives and citizens from Pike county have
been here all the afternoon on the look
! out. 1t has since been learned however,
that Wimbush has also been arrested and
it is the belief here that there will be two
| negroes less in Pike county by early
morning, as the people are highly indig-
nant and excited over the brutal crime.
Mr.. Reynolds was noted for his soberness
and industry. He was universally re-
spected in Pike county.

are wise and in the future should be carried
out, yet, in the estimate of expenditures for
the interior department, furnished to the
Secretary of the Treasury, rejected q great
majority Of them. The strictest economy
should, at the present time, control the dis
bursement Of the public money, and I could
not ask the appropriation Of any sum not i'm
medlately necessary for the conduct of the
public business.

The Company Not Doing the Business
It Has Been Claiming.


Jersey City, N. j., Dec six empty
freight trains were sent out on the Le-
high Valley road this morning, and three
loaded trains came in. Passenger trains
started on schedule time and arrived
from ten minutes to an hour late. The
passenger traffic is very light. The guam
tity of freight moved is small, compared
with the business of the road before the
strike. There were no signs of the strike
being ordered off this morning, and none
of the old men applied for reinstatement.
THE GENERAL MANAGER CHEERFUL.
Philadelphia, Dec. General Manager
Voorhees,, of the Lehigh Valley railroad,
was in a cheerful mood this morning, and
spoke favorably of the cOmpany's pros
poets. I'VE have stopped hiring men at
all points,, Mr.. voorhees, said, land there
are so many employees on the northern di-
vision that many are being transferred to
the eastern division. More freight and
coal were moved out of the Wyoming Val
ley yesterday than on any day since the
strike began" Mr., Voorhees, further
said that he had refused all applications
for positions that had been received dur
ing the past three days. He also declared
that the Jersey Central had not declined
to handle Lehigh Valley freight

Lehigh Valley railroad officials express
confidence that in a very few days there
will be no strike on their road, but there
is no sign of weakening on the part of the
strikers Innumerable accidents occur
every day to trains manned by strange
crews and three men have been killed in
two days, but that don't affect the
determination of the company in the
least The passenger service is consider
ably delayed by attempts to resume
freight business with green men.
