THE GLOBE LAY SHOT,
And Wins Second Victory for the
Eeber Emblem.

And Wins a Second Victory for the
Itebcr Emblem.
Another match in the Reber shuttle
board tourney was brought OFF yesterday
afternoon, and resulted in victory for
the GLOBE. 1t was. by all odds, the
most interesting game thus far played,
and toward the close excitement ran
high. The game was between the
GLOBE and the Dispatch, and
the latter was clearly Outplayed.
On the first board, the GLOBE won
to . for IFS opponent. and the game
there closed, while the teams were try
ing conclusions on the other. There the
full number of seven games was neces-
sars, as the score stood to 8. When the
deciding game began the room was
crowded, and the players were cheered
on 10 their best efforts. The Dispatch
took q lead, and after several ends the
score stood TO in its favor; but the
GLOBE made SpGIt and tied the score.
From that time it was nip and tuck,
and finally the score was IA to IA. The
deciding end was full of excitement.
Stone after stone was displaced, until
finally, with the last stone to play. the
GLOBE found the Dispatch lay shot.
But the last stone settled il. 1t slipped
through port and landed safely in the
deuce line, scoring two and giving the
game to the GLOBE. The latter now
leads in the tourney, having two vic
tories to its credit and no defeats. The
next game will be between the News
and Dispatch.

LAMAR's SUCCESSOR.
President Harrison Will Garry Out
the Civil Service Idea.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.- There was no
formal conference at the White house
today concerning the vacancy on the
bench of the United States supreme
court, but it can be stated on what is
considered good authority that PreSi-
dent Harrison has made up his mind to
nominate a successor to the late Justice
Lamar. In order to make the fight
which the Democratic senators are ex-
pected to wage over the confirmation of
the nominee as pointleSs as posi-
BILE, the president will name some
man to whom the appointment
will be in the nature of well-deserved
promotion, thus carrying out the civil
service idea. The president will take
up the list of Southern judges and en-
deavor to find among them the man to
fit his ideal. It's the expectation that
the nomination will be sent in at the
end of a week, and the Republicans Of
the senate are determined that it shall
be confirmed, even if they have to resort
to cloture and cast senatorial courtesy"
to the winds to accomplish it. Justice
Lamar presided over the Fifth judicial
circuit, composed of the states of
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana and Texas, and the general
custom has been TO select man for the
vacancy who resides in the circuit. The
judge in this circuit is Don A. Pardee,
and his name has been mentioned
among others as likely to succeed JUS
tice Lamar.
1t may be stated that President Har-
rison has made no expression of his in
tention regarding the appointment of
new justice. Even his most Intimate
friends do not expect any information
of his purpose until it has been officially
promulgated. They do expect that he
will investigate the subject of the sue
cession as if tbs vacancy had oc-
Cured in the middle of his
term instead of near the end.
They further expect that when
he has completed the investigation he
will send nomination to the senate for
its action. AS to the various suggestions
which have been made respecting the
presidents course in the matter, it is
the expectation that he will follow none
that point to any unusual mode of pro-
cedure. He will not. his friends be-
lieve, nominate Democrat, nor will he
take any action at all SO as to leave the
vacancy to be filled by MIR. Cleveland.

To Be a Prominent Feature
OF the New Adminis-
tpatiOn.
The Roll to Be Pupg ed Of Pen
sioners Carried Inn
properly.
Pension Expenditure Offers a
Good Opportunity for Re-
trenehment.
Lamap's Successor Will Prob.
ably Be One Of the Fed
eral Judges.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. The Star has
this gossip regarding the proposed re-
ducti0n in the pension list: ReceDt de-.
velOpments have aroused great deal
of interest in the pension question. and
there is growing conviction that its
agitation is going to be one of the most
prominent features of the new admins
tration-Mr. Cleveland has already
made a record on his pension vet0es,
which appear not to have hurt him
much in the last campaign. 1t is un-
derStOod that he now hopes to effect
complete reform in the methods of
granting pensions, and to purge the
pension roll during the course of his ad-
mlnIstration of pensioners who are car
rled improperly, and to cut down eX-
ceSsive pensions.
In this connection great deal of dis
cuSSion was provoked at the capitol to-
day by the speech of eX-Secretary Fair
child at Richmond last evening, in
which he told the Southern Democrats
that they need not stand back and be
afraid to deal with the pension question
as it should be dealt with. There is no
doubt
Felt Among Democrats
that Mr.. Cleveland intends to handle
the question without gloves, with the
purpose to reduce the annual payment
for pensions as low as possible. The
talk Of transferring the pension Office
to the war department is said to grow
out OF the expectation that Col. Lamont
will be at the head of that department.
and that in the event Of the transfer
he will make the revision of the
pension list and reform Of meth
odS the conspicuous work of his
administration of the office. Confronted
with an expenditure for pensions
rapidly approaching $500, 100000 year.
and at the same time threatened with
deficiency in the treasury at the time
when the party is pledged to conSid-
erable reduction of the customs duties.
the Democrats feel that something must
be done to reduce the draft upen the
treasury, and they regard the pension
expenditure as Offering the best pos
sible opportunity for retrenchment.
The proposition to transfer to the war
department, to create cOmmiSSiOnetO
examine the roll, and the legislation in
the pension bill designed to exclude
from the privilege of pensions certain
classes now enabled to draw them, are
all part of the general policy which is
about 10 be inaugurated.

AZ THE BALK LINE.
Thayer and Estes Win, Sibley and
Bingham Lose.

A4OSG.
During yesterday two more games
were added to the record in the Foley
balk line billiard tourney, which is
growing in interest and developing all
the play there is III the contestants. In
the afternoon game Thayer was
matched against Fred Sibley, and the
spectators expected battle royal. 1t
was a good game, but not quite
up to the standard of the open
ing games. Both players are strong
amateurs, and some admirable shots
were executed on both sides. but
Thayer played with more than his usual
confidence, and walked Off with the
honors. Ihirty-one innings were nee
essary to complete the score, and when
Thayrr had checked Off his 100 points,
Sibley had rs to his credit. The high
run for Inayer was II and for Sibley
was -.
Last night Estes and Bingham met
and played very exciting game, which
was won by the former. Neither was
at his best, and the game was exciting
rather than brilliant. At no time was
there any great disparity i'll the scores,
and it was anybOdy'5 game up to the
last. When 50 points had been made
the score was tied, but Estes then drove
away and won, with 50 points for Bin
CHAM. The latter made the highest
run, scoring u points, while II was the
highest credited 10 Estes.
TWO games Will be played today. In
the afternoon BiAby and Black will try
conclusions, and at night WllmOt and
Wilder will cross cues.

NEW NATIONAL PARK.
President Harrison will Create
One TODAY

WASHINGTON, Jan. rs - Senator
Squire had an interview today with the
secretary of the interior Oh the subject
of the Mount Rainier forest reserve in
the state Of Washington. which has for
some time been engaging his attention.
The proclamation creating this reserva-
ton will probably be issued by the
president tomorrow. 1t is forty-two
miles square, an area of 1,764 square
miles, and will constitute na-
tional park not inferior TO the
Yellowstone Park, and in some respects
more remarkable, as it possess glaciers
OF great extent unsurpassed within the
United States, excepting only III Al
aska, and has the additional attraction
OF magnificent forests and streams.
From its heights the water of the ocean
in Puget Sound are plainly visible. The
survey, as originally made, was of
greater area, but it was deemed best
not to include any part Of the region
now occupied by railroads or towns. or
course the rights of settlers will be
carefully preserved.

THE EVENING SESSION.
Minor Matters Disposed Of and
the Convention Closes.

Minor Matters Disposed Of and
the Convention Closes.
G. J. Buell., upon reassembling in the
evening, introduced resolution oppos-.
ing the project to draw upon the state
treasury to pay the expenses of the pro-
posed good roads, commission, and he.
argued at length in support of the posi-
ton that he assumed i'll the resolution.
Opinion was pretty evenly divided on
the proposition, and a motion was
sprung to lie on the table, and it result
ed in tic. A Hennepin delegate char,
acteriZed the resolution as an ign0nlnl--
Gus Slur upon the delegates to the con-
ventiOn.
After the vote had been declared lost,
Mr.. Buell. moved the adoption of the
resolution. A division was called for,
and thirty voted for it. while the char
declared that .thirty-fve voted in the
negative. 1t was now question OF
funds. Should the state be taxed for
commission? Buell. insisted that the
commission would likely do nothing but
sit in the state h0use and draw salaries.
But the governor will be asked to ap-
point the commission, just the same.
At this iuncture a shortage was re
ported in the funds to defray the eX-
penses of the convention. and the hat
was passed around to make up the de-
ficit.
ibis disposed of the routine business
and Isaac 3. Pattee, editor of the Maya
zine of Good Roads, of New York. was
introduced, and he addressed tEecon-
yention upon The Need of Good
Roads" and the lecture was illustrated
with SterpoDtican views
He declared that politics is the science
OF government, and he argued eloquent
ly for furtherance of the good roads
movement. showing the national needs
in this direction. The views first
thrown upon the canvas were those OF
the most eXecrably muddy roads con-
ceivable, and then the scene shifts and
some of the excellent roads were shown
the Teiford, the Macadam and the
best dirt roads.
The lecturer stated that statistics
show that in Minnesota there are $l0,-
000,G00 worth of horses and mules used
to handle wagon traffic that would be
unnecessary were the roads i'll fine con-
diti0n. and that the farmers of the state
actually throw away S355,0O0 o day be-
cause of the present condition Of roads
i'll the commonwealth.
The views of European roads were
decidedly picturesque, and the cheap
ness of building macadam was a par
tieular phase of the lecture. France. it
was related. expends slS.000.000 year
in roads upon the theory that it is
profitable investment. The tires i'll
France for heavy traffic are from four to
ten inches in width. and they are rollers
instead of cutters.
The lecturer concluded his effort
with the declaration that excellent
macadam can be built for from $500
mile to $500.
A vote of thanks was given Mr.Pattee
and the convention came to a close. ..

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-There were
not many senators in the chamber today
during the debate on the aDti-option
bill, but those who were present wit
messed the remarkable circumstance of
the states rights Democrat, Mills, Of
Texas. having his argument against the
constitutionality of the bill sustained by
the stalwart Republican, HiscOck, of
New York. Mr.. Mills declared his be-
lief that the sentiment in favor
of local self-government prevailed
from New England TO the Pa
cific ocean. and Mr. HiScock asserted
that there had been rarely presented to
congress measure in which less regard
had been paid than was paid in the
pending measure, either to the pro-
prietieS of legislation or to conStltu
tional restrictions. An effort to pass
bill creating commission on the alco-
holic liquor traffic gave Mr.. Vest Dem
ocraD. Missouri, an opportunity of ven
tilating his views an such specimens of
"crank legislation" and on those
pseudo philanthropists who want to
use the powers Of congress to advance
some special hobby, to which they are
devoting their otherwise useless lives"
