IN HOT WATER.
Great Volumes of Steam From a
Wisconsin Hill.

Special to the Globe.
TREMPEALEAU, Wis, Ftb.17.-There
has been considerable excitement here
the past few days over volumes of
steam rising from series of craters on
one of the high bluffs overlooking the
city. The discovery was made by Capt.
Edward HollingShead Oh cold morn
Ing, and since then hundreds have
climbed the bluff to witness the re-
markable spectacle, many believing it
to be an incipient volcano that would
soon belch forth devastation. The gen.
orally accepted theory now is that there
is vein of hot water beneath the bluff
that could be brought TO the surface by
driving down an artesian well. If this
theory is correct TrempeaIeau will soon
be able to compete with the famed hot
springs of Arkansas, and become a
great resort for those in quest of its
healing waters. That steam arises from
the craters is fact that is as mysteri-
Gus as 1t is wonderful, and until scien-
titicaliy investigated no solution of the
problem can be given. The strange
phenomena is attracting wide attention
and no end of conjecture.

the most prominent Democrats i'll Ne

for governor last fall. Very little Is
known Of him in the East, but he has
been prominent figure i'll the West for
a number of years. He owned pro-

DEs MONIES, Feb. 17.-It is reported
on undoubted authority here that Don
NJ. Dickinson will be in Des Moines
Monday for the purpose OF trying
to induce Gov. BOes to accept
place in the cabinet. Mr.. Cleveland
is determined that the Iowa man shall
become a member of his official fam
ily. Mr.. Dickinson is authorized to
offer the governor either the navy OF
attorney general portfolio. The agrl-
cultural portfolio has already been
twice declined by Gov. BOieS. The
place was iirst offered him Jan. Is. 1t
is believed here that Mir. Boies will
finally be induced to accept cabinet
position. 1t is also thought that he
would be most likely to accept the posi-
ton of attorney general.

Many Kansas Officers to Be
Hauled Over the Goals.
TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 17.-Many and
varied complications will arise out of
the dispute between the Populists and
Republicans as to which house is the
legally organized and constituted body.
The latest development is. announced
tonight. Brig. Gen. Hettinger Stated
that Col. j. w. F. Hughes will
be court-martialed. The ground for
the court martial proceedings will be
based upon the refusal of Col. Hughes
to obey the instructions of the governor
to eject the Republican members of
the lower branch of the legislature from
representative hall. 1t is not unlikely
that other court martial proceedings
against other officers for refusal to re-
port to Topeka for duty upon the in
structions of the governor will be in
stituted. The present trouble will, no
doubt, be death blow to the Kansas
National guard, which has SO long been
the military pride of Kansas.

REGRETS HASTY ACTION.
LiIinokaIani's Representative at
WASHINGTON.

w
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Paul Neu-
mann, the envoy of Liliuokalanl to the
United States, accompanied by Prince
David. of the royal family and two
servants, reached the city late
tonight. Mr.. Neumann, in brief con-
versation. indicated partially what his
course of action will be in his effort to
induce the senate to refuse to ratlfy the
treaty of the annexation of Hawaii,
which it now has under consideration.
Mr.. Neumann regretted very much that
the matter had progressed so far as
it has, and regarded it as unfor-
tunate that he would not be able to see
the president or Secretary Foster until
next week. He realizes, therefore. that
he must submit the queens case to the
senators themselves. and tomorrow he
wllpbegin the work. He will ask the
senators to consider the papers
which he has in his possession,
and then if, after reading them
and hearing all he has to say, they
should decide 10 ratify the treaty he
would not have word of complaint to
make. lie regretted exceedingly that
such undue haste, as he characterized
ii, should have been used in
sending the treaty to the senate,
when but one side of the case
had been heard and no opportunity had
been given the people of Hawaii, which
he represented, to submit their views
on the matter. Never before. he said,
had there been an occasion like this
when such hasty action was taken
on an ex parte case. He is con-
fident, Notwithstanding that the
treaty has been hurried along so
lapidly, that the senate will, after hear
ing the contents of the papers in his
possessloh, be less hasty in acting upon
it than the officials of the government
were in sending it to that body. Not
one in ten of the natives of Hawaii, said
Mr.. Neumann, would support the pro-
viSiOnal government, IT they were al
lowed TO have vote in the matter.

Again Hovers Over the Cap
ital City of the Jay
haWker State.
Troops Sent Home and the
Forces of the Sheriff
DiSbanded.
The Governor and the Repub-
licans Agree on a Com
promise.
Lewelling Says the Populists
Have Taken No Backward
Steps.

TOPEKA, Feb. 17.-The battle flags
are furled. The state troops have been
sent home. The armed posse of deputy
sheriffs has been disbanded. Republic
ans and POpulists alike have laid down
their arms. The war is over. The
threatening perils of the last four days
have been averted, and peace again
reigns supreme throughout Kansas.
The developments OF the day are re-
garded on all sides as decisive victory
for the Republicans. Even the Populists,
with chagrin and openly expressed IN
dignation at what some of them call
weakness, admit that the Republicans
have triumphed for the time at least.
Peace was restored by the acceptance
by the governor and the Republican
house of compromise proposition for
the cessation of h0stilties.
BY the terms of this proposition the
Republicans secure undisputed posses
sion of representative nall ill the capi-
tol, the main point for which they have
been struggling. The Populists secure
the hollow privilege of meeting undis-
turbed in some other place. The failure
of the Populist plan TO drive the Repub-
licanS from representative hall after
they had barricaded themselves there
Wednesday morning was due to the
Refusal to Obey Orders
of the very force upon which the POpu-
lists had depended to carry the plan
into eXecution-the state militia. Con-
sequently the Populists were compelled
to sue for peace. The governor claims
the PopulistS have carried their point,
which was the prevention of the arrest
by the Republican house of Chief CLERK
Rich, of the Popuist house, which
started all the trouble last Tuesday.
The events or the last few days and
their final result will have no effect on
the unfOrtuGatiye Legislative mUddle.
There will be no amalgamation of the
parties. The PopulistS say the Populist
house will 20 right ahead making laws
the same as if there were no such thing
as courts, no matter what the courts
may decide. The senate will continue
to recognize the house, and the governor
will sign the bills passed. Should the
bills be declared to be invalid by reason
of having been passed by an illegal
rouse. then, say the Populisis, the
blame will rest upon the court. In case
such thing comes to pass, the state in
stitUtions, the colleges, ,aSylums, schools.
etc, would doubtless have to close. To
night the city is very quiet. The Re
publican members have gone to their
homes to spend their Sabbath. The
POpulists have all left town. and the
deputy sheriffs, who have been OH con-
tinuous duty since yesterday morning,
have gone home for much naeded rest.

A good story is told of Mr.. Labouchere

CARNIVAL OF CORRUPTION.
Rottenness in the Insane Asylum
of Arkansas.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Feb. 17.-Gov.
Fishback, in a special message to the
legislature today, said corruption In
several of the departments of state
government has held high carnival
for years. Of the insane asylum he
said in their recent report, the report of
trustees declared shortage of $1,000 in
the accounts of the treasurer, Rev. S.
Ii. Buchanan, but more recent re-
ports put the shortage at S9,636.
This amount added to the sum he re-
ceived from pay patients make his en-
tire embezzlenent $4,000. The most
disagreeable feature of the affair is the
fact that the board failed TO take
bond, as required by law, from him
during his last term and that it was
during that term that he stole upward
of $4,000, for which sum the state has no
security whatever. Ee also says some
one has stolen the record in the secre-
tary of states office showing the adop-
ton several years ago of Amendment
No. l, which repudiated more than ST.
600, 600 of the states Indebtedness.
