Nominee Of a Party Caucus
Entitled to All the
Votes.

Making Montana APP

New Books and Type Of the
Weather Bureau Sold for

WASHINGTON, April Tho presi-
dent took whiri at Montana today, and
the forces of both Clark and Daily are
wondering what it all means. BY the
nomination of Maj. A. w. Lyman, Of
Helena. for collector of revenue, and
Davis &. Brown, of Fort Benton, for
customs collector, the president has
shown that he proposes to give the fed
eral Offices to that element of the party
which preferred defeat for its
candidate, and allowed the selec-
tion of Republican by the
governor. When the representatives of
the warning factions interviewed the
president yesterday he gave them a
terrific scoring. 1.-The man who gets a
majority of his party in caucus is en-
titled to the votes of ALL" he said.
but where it becomes evident that he
cannot win, then he ought to look to
the interests of the party. There was
no excuse for the loss of Democratic
senator in Montana, and it may be a
very serious affair from party stand
point" Following this Mr.. Cleveland
declared that he had no more confidence
in one set of factiOniStS than the other,
and these appointments today show
that he meant all he said.

STOLE A STONE STEP.
A Pretty State Of Things in the
Weather Bureau,

WASHINGTON. April THE iuvesti-
CATION into the alleged irregularities in
the weather bureau was continued to-
day. John Sullivan, laborer, testified
that he saw five boxes of old type and
rubbish in a wagon which was removed
from the sheds adjoining the bureau to
he condemned and sold at public auc-
tion. Oct. 24 last he saw about 400
pounds of type and some betting near
the telegraph room and called the
attention of the property clerk to it.
About year ago, by order or the cap
tain of the watch, 1000 pounds OF new
books were sold to junk dealer named
HOpfenmer, as waste paper lie SAID
that, by direction of the captain OF the
watch, a granite step belonging to the
building, worth about $50, was removed
during the night and sold.
Mr.. Plummer, labOrer in the bureau,
testified that he packed seven boxes OF
type by direction of man named Ryan,
but knew nothing of its destiny.
Hopfenmer, junk dealer, testified
that he had been asked by the captain
to call at the house of one Ryan,
watchman in the bureau, who wished
to dispose of quantity of pens, pencils,
paper, etc. He refused to have anything
TO do with the goods, which he estimated
to be worth probably 500 or more. 1he
witness said that Ryan made the remark
that the goods were given him by
officials of the department, who refused
them as surplus" which caused Secre-
tary Morton to smile and say that he,
too, was trying TO get rid of the surplus.
One check for material bought by the
witness was made in favor of Capt.
Stone, the diSburSing officer, and the
others in favor of Capt. BrannOn.
Allen Spencer, the driver of the mail
wagon, said that he carried four book
cases and some damaged rugs from the
weather bureau to Capt. BrannOn'S
house. The book cases he never saw
again, but the rugs were returned.
William E. Weeden. a Washington
detective, said that he had been ordered
to investigate charges of petty larceny
in the weather bureau. He went to the
bureau and decided upon the ar
rest of a man named Robinson,
foreman of the printing office.
He visited the various Junk
dealers of the city and learned that they
had bought old material from Brannon.
He saw the latter, who, in an intoXi-
Gated condition, denied that he had sold
any brass rollers, ETC., but subsequently
admitted selling certain articles and
said that he had authority to do so. He
said that the pencils, pens, paper, ETC.,
in Ryan cellar were worth about $500
or more. The investigation will be con-
tinued tomorrow.

SIGNED TWO BILLS.
Gov. Nelson Has Attached His
Signature to the New Cap
itol Bill.
Senator Peterson's Governors
Bili' Has Likewise Been
Officially Approved.

Gov. Nelson has brought to full
fruition the efforts Of the people OF
Minnesota to initiate the building of a
new capitol. Late last evening he
affixed his signature to the bill pro-
viding for commission to erect a new
capitol, and it is now law. The people
of st. Paul and of the state are to be
congratulated OH this happy and timely
termination of a patriotic incident in
the history of the state. 1t affords the
GLOBE great pleasure to raise its tile
and smillngly bow to all concerned this
morning. A good fight has been con-
summated-a victory for progress has
been recorded.
The governor also signed last night
S. f. 371. over the passage of which such
a fierce fight occurred in the house yes
terday afternoon. Some members of
the legislature were last evening in
clined to question the legality Of sigh
ing a bill before approval of the journal
of the day on which it was passed.
Doubtless, Gov. Nelson did not attach
his signature, however, without being
fully advised in the premises. Messages
to the legislature this morning Will an
nounce the signing of both bills.

SYSTEM FEDERATION.

Heads of the Organization Meet
and Adopt Plans.
CEDAR RAPIDS. To-, April Z. 7.-Grand
Master Sargent, of the firemen; Grand
Master Wilkinson and Vice Grand Mas
ter Horsley. of the trainmen; Grand
Master Wilson. of the Switchmen;
Grand Master Ramsay, of the Order of
Railroad Telegraphers, and Grand Chief
Clark and Grand Secretary Daniels, of
the conductors, held a secret session
here last night and adopted a plan for
the system of federation adopted at the
December meeting held in this city.
The text was not given TO the press, but
it is officially learned that the plan is
to leave members of each system OF
railroad at liberty to act for them
selves, within the provisions of
the plan and under the approval or
their executive officers in the matter of
federation. 1t admits federation be-
tween any or all members of the organ
izations represented and engineers. As
to whom the federation includes is also
optional with the men on system
where federation may be formed. The
general federation organization proved
itself a failure. There are places where
federation is desired and advisable, and
other places where it is not desired, and
the committee believed members would
be best suited and their interest best
served by leaving the matter with them
under healthy restriction. The plan
carefully provides laws for OrganiZa-
ton, provides against violation thereof.
and also provides against in any way
curtailing the authority vested by Or
deIS in the executive officers.

Mr.. Greer moved that the house first

MIR. Fleming protested that the motion

and when the reading was finished a
call of the house was ordered. This oc-
cupied 10 or Is minutes, and when pro-
ceedings under the call were dispensed
with, Mr.. Mcguire took the floor. He
said he could not allow the bill to be-
come a law without entering his solemn

question of personal privilege. He al

paper of yesterday to the following
effect:
Mr. Markham has not yet arisen in the
house to question of privilege to explain
the charges of the lumbermen, printed in the
j ournal several evenings ago. He said YES
teIday that he intended to make the state
ment before adjournment but the opportun.
lty went by and he did not improve it. This
morning also he was silent, and it remains to
be seen whether he will say anything this
afternoon.
Commenting on the statements made,
Mr.. Markham, in voice quiverng
with anger, said he had never in his
life, directly or Indirectly, solicited
money for his vote. He earnestly de-
sired that the house should appoint a
committee of investigation to probe the
charges made. Closing, he said he
would say no more at the present time.
Mr.. Wilson, of Goodhue, moved that
a committee of five be appointed by the
speaker to investigate the charges
against a member of the house, said
committee to have power to subpoena
witnesses, compel production of papers,
etc. There were half a dozen seconds
to the motion, and 1T prevailed. Later
it was decided that regularly drawn
resolution was necessary. 1t will be
offered today, and the speaker will then
name the committee.
Over a score of senate bills were read

joint resolution providing for legislative

commissioner of pensions; Ambrose W.
Lyman, of Montana, TO be collector of

tana; David q. Browne, of Montana, to
be collector of customs for the district
of Montana aud Idaho in the state of
Montana.
The nomination of Caleb W. West, of
Utah. to be governor ofsthat territory,
is a case of recognition of an lex" for
Mr.. West was the former governor of
that territory under Mr.. Cleveland. He
made a good official, and, since his re-
tirement from that Office, has spent the
greater part of his time iii Washington.
where he has been an ardent worker
about congress, seeking to have the bill
passed admitting the territory to state
hood. He has long been recognized as
one of the leading Democrats of the
territory.
Ambrose w. Lyman, the new col
lector of internal revenue for the dis
trIct of Montana. is we'll known here as
former correspondent of the New York
Sun. Mr.. Lyman is now the editor of
the Helena Independent. He has wide
acquaintance and high standing among
public men, and his appointment gives
great qualification to his newspaper
friends in Washington.
Dominick 1. Murphy, nominated to be
the first deputy commissioner of pen
siOns, is a man not unknown about the
pension office. He has virtually grown
mn in or of that
ment of the government, first entering
the service as a messenger. He was
promoted to be clerk, and finally to
be chief clerk of the Office. Ills elega-
ton to the deputy commissionership is
due to his own merit and the solcita-
ton of Mr.. Harrity, who has been for
some days urging his selection. Mr..
Murphy is the brother of the official
stenOgrapher of the senate.

board of medical examiners, asking
that the license of John l.. Livingstone,
one of the most prominent physicians
in the state, be revoked on the ground
of unprOfesSional. dishonoraHe and i'm
moral conduct. The petition was signed
by J. \. Quinn, an attorney, and is of
themoSt sensational character. involving
half the business men of Wells and
many women. The town has taken
sides in the matter, and the feel
ing has reached such a pitch that
it is feared that open warfare Will
break out. DR.. Livingstone went to
California March 23, his friends claim.
for his health, and to look up new
location in a warmer climate, but his
enemies claim to avoid the impending
scandal At any rate, the papers sum-
morning Dr. Livingstone to appear be-
fore the medical board were served
upon his wife. Specifying the charges
on which it Is desired that DR.. Living
stones license should be revoked, the
petition says that the physician has
been guilty of protracted sprees; that
at various times he threatened to
shoot j. II. Joice, bank
er: Robert Andrews and a dozen
other prominent men; that he insti-
gated Dennis O'Day to shoot and kill
DR.. Daniel Straw, and that he attempt
ed to induce Z. ". Morgan, a druggist,
and several other persons to combine to
ruin the business of Dr.. W. L. Gund
lach. The petition closes with the
charge that DR.. Livingstone frequently
bOasted that he had been improperly
intimate with many married women of
Wells. This highly sensational paper

Judge Lochren Leaves Washing
ton for Minnesota.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April fudge Loch-
rem called at the White house this after
noon to say goodbye to the president,
and Just before noon started for home
via Gettysburg. His appointment,
while a great surprise to the Eastern
people, has been well received by them
and commended by the newspapers, re-
gardless of party. OF course there are
men who do not know the judge and
the influences that direct this movement
who are greatly amazed at his accept
ance of the office. From one of this
class doubtless came report printed in
the Evening Star, of this city, to the
effect that Judge LOchren accepted the
commissionership of pensions only upon
the understanding that the president
will make him judge of the United
States court for the district of Mime
sofa, to succeed Hon. r. r. Nelson.
The paragraph in question follows:
1.-The gOssips at the White house say
that Judge Lochren may not remain at
the head of the pension bureau longer
than three years. There will probably
be a vacancy of the district bench of
Minnesota at that time, occasioned by
the retirement of Judge Nelson, and it
Is thought that the president will ap-
point Judge Lochren to it. 1t is q life
position, and an Office that Judge Loch-
ren would hardly refuse" q
As usual, the gossips are not we'll in
formed. They do not know the rugged
and vigorous man who has been United
States district judge for Minnesota
since the days OF James Buchanan, for
while Judge Nelson will reach the age
at which he can retire during the pres
ent administration, he is not obliged to
do so, and the chances are that he will
not take advantage of the law, and,
more than this, neither President CIeve-
land nor Judge Lochren is the kind of
man to enter into bargain of this kind.
