MEN WHO FAILED.
Several Fat Offices Lost for Lack of
Time


WASHINGTON, March 6.-There were
thirly-six nominations sent to the Senate by
President Harrison during the last session
that failed Of confirmation, and of this num-
pr one was rejected, that OF John Y. L.
Finley of Maryland to be arbitrator for the
United States on the Chilean Claims Com
mission. The name of G. NJ Lambertson
was substituted by the President, but no
action was taken by the Senate.
The most important nomination not sane
toned by the Senate was that of Ben ton
Hanchett Of Michigan to be United States
Circuit Judge for the Sixth Judicial District
TO succeed Judge Jackson, confirmed al AS
sociate Justice of the United States Supreme
Court.
For purely political reasons the Demo-
cratic Senators used their influence to pre-
vent Hanchett's confirmation.
Three army nominations, all for desirable
positions, failed for lack of action. One
was that of Lieutenant john A. DapraY
to be paymaster with the rank of major
The promotion of Calonel Elwell S. Otis
to be brgadier-general in place of General
Carr, who was forced to retire, also fell
through the antagonsm of General Carr's
friends, who objected 10 his retirement.
Among the other failures were: That OF
Lyeurgus Woodward. to be Commissioner
for the District of ALASKA; Rees r. Lewellyn,
TO be Judge of Probate in the county Of
San Pete, Utah; Stiles E. FOrsha, to De Re-
eeiver of Public Moneys at Rapid City,
S. D., and several postmasters.

Special to THE MoRs1sa CALL

New ORLEANS. March 6.-After a weary
journey of continuous riding in:erspersed
with numerous delays and side-tracking,
the special train conveying Jim Hall and
his friends reached this city more than
twelve hours behind the time scheduled.
The delay was oceasioned by difficulty ex-
perienced in getting through Washington,
OH account of the large throng of people
attending the Inauguration ceremonies.
Six hours were lost at that point, while in
stead of this being made up by fast running
after leaving Washington, the agony was
only piled on by missing connections, until
the climax was capled by the car convey
ing the Hall party being dropped at atlanta,
where it lay over several hours, to be picked
up by local which stopped at every wood.

Hall himself did not mind the Journey,
ana rather enjoyed the rest; but it was un-
fortunate that he was kept on the road so
long, as it deprived him Of the whole days

Orleans TO get rid Of the stiffness and
natural effects Of long and tresome jour-

reversed the decision of the lower court
and held to be valid the city ordinance ex-
acting compensation from the company for
the use OF streets for telegraph poles, the
charge being So for each pole erected. The
court holds that this was in reality rental
charged for the use Of the public streets,
and that the city had as much right to
charge such rental as to charge for the use
of room in the city hall. There is nothing
in the charter Of the company exempting it
from such taxation on the ground that the
public streets are post routes. The court

Final End of the Chicago Lake-Front
Land Case.

WASHINGTON, March 6-Justce Field
this afternoon gave directions to Clerk Nc
Kenney to enter denial and notify counsel
in the matter of the application of the
Illinois Central Railway Company for re-
hearing Of the celebrated Chicago lake.
front case. The matter was entirely in
formal, and forms no part Of the record OF
the court. The refusal to entertain the
motion to retry the case is conclusive of The
controversy. and must end the possibility
Of its being reopened so far as concerns the
main point in dispute, viz. the title TO the
Chicago water front, though there will nee
essarily be further litigation over certain
property now held by the railway company
and alleged to project into the lake beyond
the lawful limits.
The court also refused to rehear the cases
in which the United States, the Southern
Pacific Railway Company and the Cotton
Marble Company are parties. In these
cases the court recently decided against the
railroads title under its land grant to an
immense quantity OF valuable lands in
Southern California.

GALLANT CUBANS
And Some Young Women Who Should
Be in Better Business.

DC III DGllSE BUSINESS.
HAVANA, March CA serious conflict
occurred yesterday at Alenendarez which
nearly resulted in serious injury to num-
ber of American young women. A party
of Americans known as the american Fe-
male Baseball Club have been going about
recently playing against Cuban clubs. Yes
terday the club was playing at Alenen-
darez, their opponents being a local club
compo sed Of young men. The majority OF
the spectators were respectable and well
behaved, but the attendance also Included
share of the lowest dregs of society.
These latter became irritated al the playing
OF the American visitors, and some of them
claimed to be convinced that it was simply
farccal and did not show professional skill.
They clamored for restitution OF their
money, and at length broke the seats and
set fire to the fence around the ball
grounds. This was the cause OF general
CONSERVATION among the female players,
who were gallantly defended by the young
men of the Cuban club and by the respect
able majority of the spectators. The most
horrible confusion ensued. but the police
finally succeeded in dispensing the mob and

IDAHO MINERS WIN.
The Indictment Against Them Was
Defective.

WASHINGTON, March 6-An opinion, de-
livered by Justice Blatchtord for Chief
Justice Fuller. in the case of George A.
Pettbone and other striking Ceur d'Alene
miners in Idaho against the United States
court, decides in favor of the miners, aud
directed that the Indictment against them
be quashed.
These cases grow out of the riots at the
Wardner mines. The court at that time had
granted injunctioDs restraining the strikers
from interfering with the men, and it was
alleged that Pettibone and others conspired
to violate the laws of the United States.
The court holds that the Indictment under
which they were convicted Of this charge
is defective in that 1t was not shown that
the men had any knowledge Of the order OF
the court.
Justices Brewer and Brown dlssented.

FELLOWS HAS ENOUGH.
The Pacific Mail Investigation Reached
Too Far.


NEW YORK, March 6.-ReferrIng to the
recent editorial in the Post expressing tile
hope that Colonel Fellows esgerness to
expose alleged corruption in behalf Of the
Panama Canal Company will not expire
with this Congress, Ernest /. Oppenhem
writes to~the Post declaring that the hope
will probably not be fulfilled. Oppenheim
asserts that Fellows original resolution was
really intended as an attack on the Panama
Railroad, made in the interest OF the Pacific
Mail, and he has good authority to say that
the resolution was drafted by Pacific Mail
Counsel Lauterbach. after the committee
on rules reversed the animus of the resolu-
tion." Oppenheim says, Fellows keen in
terest in the investigation began to flag.
However. when Seligman testified that he
and his associate bankers on the American
committee absorbed II 600, 600 francs of Pam
ANA canal money, the ground became very
hot under somebody's feet, for Lauterbach
was, If L mistake not, Seligman & Co.'S
counsel at the time of the transaction, and
there is no doubt tina: at that time he gave
these gentlemen strong assurance of its en-
tire prOpriety"
