VAN WYCK MAY GET 1T.
The Old War Horse EIOoms Up in
Nebraska.

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 22.-The Bee to-
morrow morning will print a letter
from John NJ. Thurston formally with.
drawing from the Nebraska senatorial
contest. Mr.. ThurSton states as his
reason that the interests of his client,
the Union Pacific Railway company,
demand his full attention, and he is
therefore constrained to foregO his am
bition politically. This move will have
the effect of strengthening the position
of Mr.. Paddock, but it will not give him
a clear track by any means. Gov.
CrounZe is coming forward more and
more, and next to Paddock, has now
the most strength on the Republican
side. His candidacy is not pOpu.
lar with certain leaders of the
party, who prefer to see him in the
State executives Office, yet it is given
out that when only this stands between
him and the senatorial chair it will be
removed. The aspirations of other Re.
publicans are hardly to be considered,
as none OF them show any strength. On
the part of the independents, much
speculation is still INDUCED. Although
during the preliminary balloting of last
week the POpuiiStS' vote was concern
trated on Powers, it Is by no means
certain he will have the full following
of his party after Tuesday. The indie
pendents do not consider the ballots
taken last week as of full force, and
will insist on separate ballot in each
house Tuesday. This may bring some
changes in the situation from their side.
The fact that no vote has yet been
cast for Van Wyck, who was supposed
to be the Populists' primal choice for
senator, is in itself sufficient. Many of
the opposition think the venerable
leader of the third party will walk into
the joint convention as soon as the call
didacy of Powers has become hopeless,
and, with the combined strength of the
Independents and few votes from the
Republicans, win in a canter. The
Democrats founder along, dividing
their fifteen votes among half dozen
candidates. They hope to secure
compromise In this event Congress-
man McKeighan seems to be the strong
est man now in the race. II he can
consolidate the Independents, he Is al
most certain to get the Democratic
votes needed. But the best posted pol
iticians say there will he no choice be-
fore late in February.

wyoming Contest.
CHEYENNE, Wyo.. Jan. 22.-There
seems to be more of a grand mlx-up in
the senatorial contest today than ever
before. The only caucus of which there
is any knowledge has been held by tho
POpulists. They selected "Bilp' Brown,
of Sheridan, as their candidate, but. il
rumOrS are to be believed, will likely
switch to "Bilr' Hinton, of Uninta,'
their leader. He has come in from the
East with senatorial bee as big as q
balloon. Workers for A. l.. New claim
that he will 90 into the fight with
twenty votes, but eight is the largest
number that can be counted. Among
the Democrats are Judge Corn,
George w. Baxter, w. l.. KuykendaL
Gov. Osborne, A. G. Campbell, John
Carroll aud others. They are saying
that while Baxter gained a vote when
Pickett was seated last night he has
been utterly doomed by the discovery of
petition for martial law in the North
during the cattle troubles, with his
name attached. Baxter has been unable
to get an interview with single one of
the Johnson county delegates, most of
whom are keenly bent on scalping a.
l.. New alive. De Forest Richards is
still standing out against Senator War
rem. Kingsbury, the PopuliSt who voted
in the house last night to seat the Re-
publican, was member of the contest
committee and says that the case was
not fairly tried and that the Democrats
used their power arbitrarily.
1t is reported direct from Democratic
headquarters tonight that three Repub-
licans from this county will be unseated
for as many Democrats, and that Dean
will leave the Populists for the Demo
Gratis, giving them Il majority over all. !

HIS WIFE FATFHLESS.
Mrs. ". II. Copeland Runs Away
With w. II. AmidOn.
Special to the Globe.


Huron, S. d., Jan. 2? For SONG
time past trouble has been brewing in
the family of w. H. Copeland, of this
city, and a well-knOwn engineer on the
Dakota Central division OF the Chicago
d Northwestern railway. Left wld-
over some years since, with three chil'
dren to care for, Mr. Copeland sought
the love and sympathy of the woman
whom today is the ruinati0n of bis
home. The 21st day OF April, 1891, Mr..
Copeland married his now faithlesa
wife, since which time he has loved,
cherished aud supported, and to whom
was born an only son now about One
year old. During the married life of
the pair, Mr.. Copeland says all was
love and peace until about the 18th day
of January, when his suspicious be-
came aroused that his wife was playing
false to her marriage vows, which called
for an investigation from him that re.
vealed the truth of his suspicious.
Here one William +. AmidOn,
worthless character of the city, APP
peared on the scene. Mrs. Copeland
was making long and frequent visits to
a neighbours where Amldon was boards
ing, ami their acts became so bold that
Amidon appeared on the street wearing
a gold watch and chain of Mrs. Cope,
lands. At tlfis iuncture Copeland
sought legal advice, and he went to his
faithless wife and demanded an eX,
PLANTATION of her conduct, when she in<
formed him that she was tired of heI
home and her marriage relations aud
vows, and at once took the young
child and went to the Menzie
house. The next day Mr.. Copeland
Swore out warrant before Justice
Grant, charging Amidon with carrying
concealed weapons, and Night Watch
STEAMERS was dispatched to arrest him.
The arrest was made and the prisoner
locked up in Jail over night and next
morning brought before Justice Grant
and the trial set for o'clock Wednes-
day. Time for trial arrived, but no
prisoner appeared, after which it was
learned Amidon and Mrs. Copeland
with the child, had fled for parts un-
known. Yesterday the whereabouts OF
the pair was learned, being in the coun-
try at friend of AmIdOn's, and Dep.
utY Sheriff Treadway, In company with
Mr.. Copeland, went in pursuit. Sheriff
TreadWay secured Amidon and the
child and they returned TO town The
affair will be fully investigated in the
courts

BISMARCK, n. D.. Jan. 22.-The Dem
ocratS and Populists are said to have
about completed a deal with Red river
valley Republicans for the election of
Judge Mcconnell as senator. Four Re-
publicans Of Grand Forks and adjoining
counties, it is said, have already signi-
fed their intention to vote for McCOn-
nell the moment it shall appear that
their votes will elect him. He needs
four more, however, and it is a question
if he can secure them. 1t is the general
impression that Casey will be shelved
in the next forty-eight hours, and that
the Republicans will hold caucus and
settle the fight. This they are being re-
peatedly urged to do by Republicans in
Washington, who still hope to control
the senate. or at least to give the Popu-
lists the balance of power.

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS.
Liability That the Silvcr-Rcpeal
Bill VIII Soon Come I'm.

Dill ~ III Soon SOiile ~ ID.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The back
ward state of the annual appropriation
bills has impressed itself upon congress.
The senate is chargeable with the
greater delay in this respect. Not one
Of the bills has yet passed that body.
although the house has sent over three
which are ready for action. 1t is the
general expectation that the anti-option
bill will come to final vote before the
middle of THIS week and then the appro-
priation committee Will probably take
the lead, beginning with the fortifica-
lions or the army appropriation bill
and following with the others
as RAPIDLY as they are reported. There
may be a suspension of the order in this
respect long enough to allow debate and
action upon the Cherokee outlet bill,
some of the interstate commerce bills
and Que or two other measures which
the committee on order of business may
decide TO call up, but none OF these are
likely to be of such a nature as to
arouse any party feeling. This will
probably manifest itself in the eXecu-
tive sessions during the week in con-
nection with the McCOmaS nominal
ton, which was the unfinished bust
ness when the senate closed its
doors. Thursday, by notice already
given, the senate will listen to eulogies
upon the late Senator Barbour, of Vir-
ginia. The siIVer-repeal bill is the I'M
known quantity in all calculations as to
the business Of the senate, and it NAV
become a live issue at any time upon
motion that the senate proceed to its
consideration, but at this time no such
il n1.nn11r aNrppascnH
The probabilities are that the house
during the coming week will also oc-
cupy itself largely with the delayed ap-
preparation bills, and will make an eff
fort TO catch up with the record of pre-
Vious sessions OF congress on these sup
ply bills.
Monday IS district day under the rules,
but Mr.. Holman intends to call up the
Bundry civil bill on that day and to ask
the district to give way. No calculation
can be made as to the length of time it
will take this bill, with all its numerous
and varied items appealing to local in
tereStS, to pass the house. 1t NAV 90
through almost as rapidly as the clerk
can read its provisions, or it may drag
along for days.
The appropriation for the survey of
public lands is regarded as especially
insufficient by Western members, but
Oil this, as on other items, a vigorous
fight may not be made in the house, as
the bill has to pass the scrutiny Of the
senate.
The Terry bankruptcy bill is the spe-
cial order for Tuesday and Wednesday.

GREAT FLOOD FEARED.
Ice Piled Fifteen Feet High on
the NEononCahela.

PITTsBURG. Jan. 22.-The warmer
weather and threatening rain here and
at up-riyer points tonight furnishes
good ground for the gravest anxiety
among people with property interests
in or along the rivers, particularly the
Monongahela. A pilot here today from
as far up as Morgantown, w. Va. stated
that the conditions for seventy miles
were such that only the most gradual
thawing weather would avert a great
disaster. He said that what will be
literally moving mountains of ice would
come down with any considerable rise,
getting good start in weight and vol
ume Of ice with the opening CT the big
gorge at MorgantoWn, where the ice is
piled up in the river from two to ten feet
deep for miles. Water enough to lift
and detach the immense accumulations
from their moorings, and at the same
time furnish water to carry the moving
masses, is what he says the river men
have to fear at this time. Every one
here is apprehensive of a great flood
when the thaw comes. Many merchants
and others doing business along the
river fronts have taken time by the fore
lock and have removed their goods from
the cellars to the upper floors of their
buildings,

CERTIFICATES STILL MISSING.
Suggestion as to an Improvement
in the Law.

49,
in the Law.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The missing
certificates of the electoral colleges of
Fourteen states, which ought to have
been delivered by special messenger
into the hands of the president of the
senate before the fourth Monday in
January, have none of them come to
hand today, but limitations have been
received that most Of them are on the
way and may be expected tomorrow.
Obviously the intention of the law Ill
providing that one set of certificates
should be sent by mail, ana another
should be forwarded by duly au-
thQri2ed special messenger, IN
dOrsed on the outside with the
names of the electors sending 1t,
was to provide for the veriieation by
the house Of congress Of the certificates
sent by mail by their counterparts de-
liyered by hand by trusty counts
stoned messenger. The failure OF so
many OF the states to comply with this
obviously necessary precaution IN
matter OF such vital Importance as the
election of the president and vice presl-
dent has called attention to the advtSa-
billty Of the passage of 4 general law to
issued in such cases, and also in the
cases of the election Of United States
senators and members of congress. 1t
is suggested that blank form appli
cable to each Of these cases should be
established by a law Of congress, and
that the state department should be re-
Quired to send ont a sufficient number
OF the forms to the state governors and
once in four years to the electoral col
leges through the governors Of the
states, leaving only names and dates to
be filled in.
At present, for instance, the certfi-
Gates of the election of senators vary
from teTse certificate. scarcely Sufi-
cient TO authenticate the fact certified
to, all the way up to document requir-
ing an hour to read, embodying an alb
Stract of the journal of the Legislature
during the whole of its sessions on the
senatorial matter. 1t is being strongly
urged that a simple certificate could be
presented to congress which would Oh
viate all future dangers of failure to
properly certify the action of the cleo
toral colleges, and which would also
simplify the credentials of members
Of congress and senators, and
bill to this effect will probably be
introduced during the week.
