Someyears ago country town in
Western State possessed an alb
sent-minded old lawyerwho was as
strong as hejndge, at that timepre-
siding, WAS weak, and the lewyerfelt
such a contemptfor the judge thatit
was all he could do.to keep himself
from being fined for it. Oneday the
Judge, duringa trial, had to leave
the bench for half an hour and the
court took q recess. The old law
yer was studiously poring over "a
law book when all at once he rose
to his feet.
Mayitplesseyour honor" "hebe-
gan, when the sheriff stopped him.
whats the matter?" he asked
very seriously.
r" Why, sir; you forget YOURSELF
responded the sheriff, who thought
he was in earnest
-"How, sir?" thundered the old
man as If the sheriff had beenSa
witness under cross-examination.
"Ther's no judge on the'bench,
.sir," explained the sheriff.
~"Well, who said there wasYsque-
ried the lawyer. Everybody in
this county knows that, sir, and has
known it for two years or more"
and he sat down amidstrapplause,
just as the judge came in.

to know how you are impressed
with the administration of the Pen
sion Bureau since the removal of
Raum."
81 am pleased with tAe,course of
the present commissioner, Judge
Lechren. He has recently madea
ruling overturning Raum's perver-
sion Of the law Of June 27, 1890,
which alone will save many mil
lions to the Treasury annually.
"That act provided for pension
ing all soldiers whose disabilities
reduced their ability to earn hv-
ing by manual labor, whether their
disabilities were Of service origin
OF not; provided they were not the
result of their own vicious habits.
Raum required noproof on the lat
ter point, and thousands were pen
stoned whose hospital record show
that their disabilities were the re-
suit of their own vicious habits.
These will be dropped from the
rolls. Raum held that impairment
Of earning capacity was not the test,
but that any injury was sufficient
Igto entitle the claimant. Men were
pensioned for eorns and bunions;
for bald-headedness; for the loss of
a part of finger or toe, and for
many trivial injuries which did not
affect their earning capacity. All
these cases are being examined
again in the Pension Bureau, and
those pensioned in violation Of the
law will be stricken from the rolls
"More than 100000 soldiers were
pensioned under that law, and it is
safe to say that one-half Of them
were pensioned in violation of the
law and will be dropped from the
rolls ornedueed tosa proper, grade
The work is being pushed, and il
will not be long before all I have
ever said about the dishonesty oi
the Raum administration and more
will be abundantly established by
the records Of the Office"
"What about your contest?"
"There is nothing in it, and
expect Congress to make the con
testant pay the costs Of his contest.

The prospects for tomorrow are that
the populists will decline to accept the

the republicans and that the situation
will then lapse back into today's condi-

left the popnlists will be a reliance upon

MITCHELL DISCHARGED.
There Were No Grounds for His Detention
by United states Authorities.

There Were No Grounds for His Detention
by United states Authorities.
New York, Feb. 16.-Charlie Mitchell,
the English heavy weight prize fighter,
who arrived last night on the steamship
Majestic, was detained this morning by
Inspector Wormser, chief of the quaran-
tine guard, who refused to let him land
because he held Mitchell to be an ex-
convict. When the Majestic reached
her dock at S:l5 a. M. the inspector went
aboard and under instructions from
Commissioner OF Immigration Weber
informed the English fighter he could
not land just at present. Mitchell had
with him Squire Abingdon Baird, Benz.
Abrahams and +. Bailey. He was some
what surprised but not demonstrative
when he learned that he might have
to return without having touched bis
foot on American soil. He sent ashore
for counsel. The lawyers summoned by
Mitchell decided to apply at once for a
writ OF habeas corpus for the production
of Mitchell in a United States court
when the quarantine officers will be re-
quired to show cause why Mitchell
should not be allowed to land.
At l p. m, after a conference between
his attorneys and Maj. Wormser and
Mitchell and his hackers, it was agreed
that Maj. Wormser should accompany
the prize-fighter to the office of his law
yer, and that after consultation there all
should attend the habeas corpus hearing
at > p. m, aud that Mitchell was to ac-
company Maj. Wormser to Ellis island
for examination by Col. Weber. The
pugiIist reached New York at > p. IN.
When Justice Andrews came to court
Mitchelrs lawyers said Mitchell had been
detained on the ground that he was a
convict, and that the federal laws pro-
hibited convicts, paupers, and others
from im~migrating. He had been sen
fenced to two months for simple assault
and had served his term. He has not
been considered an habitual criminal.
Maj. Wormser, chief of immigration, was
in court without counsel. He made no
return to the writ except to show a tele-
gram from W.D. Owen. superintendent of
immigration of Washington, asking that
Mitchell be returned. The telegram said
1t had been reported that Mitchell had
been convicted Of a crime involving
moral turpitude. When Justice Andrews
asked if Major Wormser had any reason
in law for OBTAINING him. the major arose
and said he had only detained him on
the telegram. He said he did not believe
there was any ground for obtaining
Mitchell. mitchell, you are discharged"

done to deter the present governor Civ
ing up n position without an absolute
certainty Of getting another.
The chances are that he would let
somebody else run that risk. There is a far
ther chance that the legislature will re-
iieve the governor of any concern over
the matter by electing a senator by
March =. Next week the legislature will
find itself under the absolute necessity
of holding night sessions. The senate is
well up in its work. That is not to be
wondered at when it is remembered
that one half the senators are old hands
at the business. and neither the old or
new ones are inclined to waste much
time in the discussion OF unimportant
matters. The same cannot be said of
the house. Very frequently a large part
OF a days session is taken up in the dis
cussion OF pointe of order that have no
bearing on the merits of the matter I'M
der consideration. The calendar OF the
house has at least eighty bills, some of
them very important. Among them are
bills which will take considerable time
to discuss. Others can be readily dis
posed of when they are reached, but the
few that are not of that kind could
easily take up the remainder of the SEES
sion. The regular annual appropriation
bills have not even been reported to the
house.
These ere always the subject of more or
less discussion, and not infrequently
lead up to disagreements and confer
ences. With but ten working days left
the legislature has it's hands full.
All three educational lust itutIons,
that thinking people thought should
have been consolidated into one grand
system, have been distributed now, the
governor having signed the bills placing
the university at Missonla, the school of
mines at Butte, and the agricultural
college at Bozeman. Each tried to out
do the other in having a more elaborate
pen than the other, for the governor to
use when appending his signature. The
pens were line affairs of solid gold. A
similar pen was given the governor to
sign the Dillon normal school bill with.
That makes four gold pens. But there
were 'striDgs On'em' all. When the gov
got through using them he was
told they were intended to be placed in
the several institutions as souvenirs of
the great event. There are some draw
backs even te the Office of governor of
Montana.

IN LOVE WITH \ QUEEN.
All Glasses in Seville Rave Over PortugaIs
Lovely Monarch.

Lovely Monarch.
SEVILLE, Feb. 15.-The entire male
population of this city seems to have
gone mad over the beauty of Queen
Amelia of Portugal who has been called
thither by the serious illness of the
grand mother Of the Duchess of Mont
pensier. Whenever the Queen appears
on the streets she is followed by a big
crowd of men, who utter audibly the
most extravagant remarks respecting her
beauty and grace. Twice n day And
aiusian ~galantcadores threw their rich
cloaks upon the muddy ground to save
h0r royal shoes from being soiled. a
studied or unconscious imitation of Sir
Walter Raleigh and Queen Elizabeth.
That the royal beauty thoroughly enjoys
her daily triumph is beyond doubt.
She walks about the streets attended
by only one lady Of her suite, which in
itself is a most unusual violation of the
rigid etiquette Of Spanish and portu-
gese courts. She bows and smiles her
acknowledgment of tho most fantastic
compliments, whether uttered by Il peer
or a peasant, for the daily crowds com
prise men In all ranks of life.
1t is explained that the homage paid
Queen Amelia is merely characteristic
OF Andalusia. there is nothing often.
sive about it, but the explanation can
scarcely be sati factory to Queen Re-
gent Christina, who, though "a most ex-
emplary woman, has not yet succeeded
in kindiing n spark of enthusiasm
among the Spaniards. Queen Chris
tina detests SpaDlards quite as much as
they dislike her, and only her duty to
her only son prevents her returning to
Austria. Less than a fortnight ago she
looked as though her maternal duties
would cease to bind her to Spain, for de-
spite the optimistic official bulletins
that King Alfonso was then in a state
of very alarming weakness, the opinion
was very general in Spain that Alfonso
will never reach manhood.
