LOCKED IN HER ROOM.
Serious Charges Made Against a
New York Physician by
His Wife.
He Is Said to Have Her Imprisoned
in a Room in
Hotel.

New YORK, Jan. 6.-Justice Barrett,
in the supreme court, today issued a
writ of habeas corpus for the produc-
ton of Mrs. Edith Steele, said to be i'm
prisoned by her husband, DR.. Theo-
philus Steele, at the Gllsey house
this city. Jan. 8 Mrs. Steele wrote to
her lawyers, Howe d Hummel, saying
she had urgent business with them. A
junior lawyer was sent to see Mrs.
Steele, and she gave him instructions
to bring an action for separation against
her husband on the ground of cruelty.
She said he had threatened her life, and
had made her give up to him her income
from an estate valued at $4,000, and
also the income from the estates of her
children by former marriage. The
next day the lawyers received letter
asking them TO discontinue the suit. BY
the same mail came another letter say
ing:
81 am locked up again in the Gilsey
house. l implore you to come to my aid
at once. Believe nothing that you hear,
but Gomez
Mrs. Steele also said that she had been
dosed with drugs by her husband. A
lawyer was at once sent up to the hotel
to see Mrs. Steele, but was denied ad-
mittance by Instructions from the
woman's husband. The writ was served
upon DR.. Steele at the Gisey house this
afternoon. He at first refused to accept
the document, throwing it upon the
floor and displaying violent temper.
He finally picked it up and walked
away. The writ is returnable at 10
o'clock tomorrow.

BUSHNELL a BOLTER.
Pat Egan Severely Crit cised by
Nebraska Republicans.

OMAHA. Jan. 6.-Some comment has
been INDUCED in concerning the APP
pointment by the president of II. M.
Bushnell to visit Panama in the interest
of the national quarantine. MIR. Bush
nell is one of theditorS of the Daily
Call, paper printed at Lincoln. He
was warm personal friend of Minister
Egan, and through the latter's influence
obtained the appointment. Although
uhimportant in itself, the appointment
has occasioned dissatisfaction among
the Republican leaders of Nebraska,
as Mr.. Bushnell does not enjoy the con-
tidence of the party. nor has he been
particularly active in its service. He
has bolted the state ticket twice with
his paper. once supporting the Demo-
cratic nominee for governor and again
the Prohibition nominee. In the first
instance he was associated with Al Fair
brother, who has come to notice by
reason of his Examinations in the Dur
ham IN. CO. Globe. The attacks of
Bushnell and Fairbrother Oh Gen.
Thayer are especially remembered by
Nebraska Republicans and they feel
that Minister Egan has gone too far i'll
securing the appointment OF man as
distasteful to the local party as a re-
ward for personal favor.

PILLsBURY IS HAPPY.
What He Says About the Inter
state Commerce Decision.

What He Says About the Inter-
state Commerce Decision.
c. A. Pillsbury was as happy as a
schoolboy in red-topped boots yesterday
over the decision OF the interstate COM
merce commission in the discrimination
cases brought by the chamber of COM
merce against the Northwestern roads.
He said.
"These wheat rates are exactly what
we expected to get. We only Wante,l to
get rates that were absolutely fair as
betweenus and Duluth, based on dis
lance. and | understand that is exactly
what the commission has granted. The
decision covers what we expected to
get and no more. because what we asked
for was reasonable and just. or course,
it is great satisfaction 10 me to obtain
this decision. but l have never doubted
for one moment from the time we COM
menced the case but what the decision
would be as the telegraphic dispatches
indicate it is. | think the railroads gen
orally have admitted the justice of our
case. but the trouble has been TO adjust
the interests OF conflicting railroads and
in the meantime Minneapolis has been
ground between the upper and neither
mill stones without, in my opinion, any
intention on the part OF the roads to do
us all Injustice.
1.-The unanimous decision of the COM
mission holds the complaint against
wheat rates sustained and orders diff
ferentials based on actual distance, rum
ming thus: Fargo. l cent; CaStletOn,
Davenport, Miner, 2 cents; WahpetOn
and Hankinsou, ~ cents; Rutland,
Harlem, Edgerly, LamOure, Boynton,
Cakes and Glendale, cents; Aberdeen,
Andover, Redtield. Deand, Elroy,
Woolsey, Huron, Lake Preston, Woon-
socket, Sisseton. cents.
"These, points named are junction
points, and, L understand, affect the
rates on all wheat that passes through
them. For instance, when Wahpeton
is named, it means all wheat coming
through WahDetOn to reach Minneapo-
lis, and this practically includes diff
ferential of from one to five cents per
hundred weight over tue entire con-
tguOuS territory. In some of the points
we already have differential, and this
decision increases the amount that we
have, but in most of the territory gov
erned by the decision the rates have
been the same to Minneapolis and Du-
luth, Notwithstanding the distance to
Minneapolis is less than to Duluth.
"The decision does not put Minneapo-
lis on any basis ahead of the mills of
Lake Superior. but tends to put us all
on an even, equitable basis"
Mr.. PillSbury says that the effort to
secure a change in flour rates. which
was not successful, did not amount to
much.
The railroads promised. when the
cases were heard, that they would drag
the question through the courts. II
they keep their word the discrimination
may not end for some time yet.

CLEVELAND AND TAMMANY.
Croker Thinks There Will Not Be
q Conflict.

New YORK, Jan. 6.-Since Mr.. Cleve-
lands utterance relative to Edward
Murphy's candidacy for the United
States senatorship, Richard Croker has
been asked a dozen times day if be
thought it would array the president
elect and his policy against Tammany
hall. Mr.. Croker has steadily declined
to answer this question. Today he spoke
about it for the first time. He was
asked:
"Do you think, Mr.. Croker, that if Mr..
Murphy is elected senator that Mr..
Cleveland, in return for it, will take up
a position hostile to Tammany halI?''
Mr. Crocker hesitated for a moment.
and then said he did not think that Mr..
Cleveland would do so. He spoke
slowly. NO" he said, 'our frindship
for Mr.. Murphy will not make Mr..
Cleveland hostile to the regular Democ-
racy of the state. Mr.. Cleveland is,
think, man of too broad ideas, man
of too high ideas of political justice to
allow himself to take such step. That
is my first reason for thinking so. My
second reason is as cogent. Tammany
hall went to Chicago opposed to Mr.
Cleveland. We fought every inch of
the ground until he was nominated.
Then we came out in his support and
stood by him to man until he was
elected. Now Mr.. Cleveland is opposed
to us in the person of our candidate for
senator, Mr.. Murphy. The wishes of
the regular Democracy will be re-
spected by the assembly, and MIR. Muir
ply will be elected. Mr.. Cleveland Is
not the sort of a man to turn on US be-
cause our candidate is elected. Com
mon gratitude would be enough, for we
did not turn on him when he was VIC
toriouS."

DEMOCRATS ARE SERENE.

HELENA. Mont, Jan. 6.-The house
today took the first step toward the set
Element Of the Choteau county contest.
Though the speaker is not ready to an
nounce the standing committees he
made an exception in the case of the
committee on elections, by the advice
and consent of all sides, and named
them. The committee consists of one
Populist, who is chairman; two Repub-
licans and two Democrats. Hamilton,
DEM, and Leech, Rep, rival claimants
TO tie Choteau county seat, tled their
certificates. Hamilton's was given him
by the canvasSIng board after throwing
out the Box Elder precinct on account
of alleged fraud. Leech's certificate
was given him after the recanvasS and
counting in of the Box Elder votes, as
ordered by the supreme court. The
case went at once before the committee,
which will hear the evidence. In
the meantime, until the report
is made, neither contestant will
be enrolled. AS witnesses have to come
from great distances the chances are the
case will not be settled for some time.
BallOting for senator begins on Wednes-
day, Jan. II. Unless the contest is set
led by that time the house will stand 26
Democrats. % Republicans and Popu-
lists. AS the senate stands 0 Democrats
and Z Republicans, neither side will
have majority on joint ballot. The
Democrats, however, have one Populist
sure, giving them the necessary thirty
six votes. All the leading Democratic
candidates and their friends are here
working hard. Conservative estimates
place the strength as follows: Ex-Gov.

necessarily represents largely the cost
of carriage or portage from the location
naturally on the Lake Michigan route
across to the Lake Superior route to the
seaboard.
Additional expense Minneapolis
should always be willing to pay. Such
evidence as the record contains indi-
Gates that in adjusting the ratio to the
Seaboard from the northern and west
ern wheat region Chicago and Duluth
have been points OF comparison. One
a Lake Michigan and the other Lake
Superior point; and treating the ques-
ton as one Of through rates to the sea-
board, it is made quite plain that
ANY Reduction Of Rate
on flour between Minneapolis and Du-
luth would, if seaboard rates are now
relatively adjusted in proper proportion.
be accompanied by similar reductions
on the Chicago or Lake Michigan points.
On the other hand, Minneapolis has
natural advantages to which she is en-
titled, namely, nearneSS to wheat fields
and large outgoing or westward moving
business which must entitle her to some
advantages over Duluth in these par
ticularS"
In speaking of the wheat rates to be
fixed this is said: "Al are OF the opin
ion that while rates to Duluth remain
as they now are, rates via the st. Paul,
the 500, Great Northern. Northwestern
and Omaha roads should be adjusted as
follows: From and including Fargo,
Casselton and Sidney. and points north
OF them, rates should be cent per 100
less to Minneapolis than to Duluth.
From and including Wahpeton and
points north as far as the main line
of the Northern Pacific and south
to Farmont, rates 10 Minneapolis
should be ~ cents per hundred less
than TO Duluth. From and including
Fairmont and all points west thereof on
the 500 and the Great Northern line, in
Guiding Harlem and Edgley. the differ
entail in favor of Minneapolis should be
not less than cents, and as much more
as may be necessary to reduce the max
imum rate to Minneapolis from any point
to Ii cents per 100, and from Rutland
and points east thereof to not exceeding
Is cents per 100. From all points in the
two DakotaS south Of lines extending
eastward from Glendale through Rut-
land, Hankiuson and Fairmont (and
east of the Fargo branch of the st. Paul
road there should be a ditferential in
favor OF Minneapolis at not less than 5
cents per 100."

a fair-szed lobby is now on the ground

NORTH DAKOTA CONTEST.
1t Is Daily Growing in Bitter
ness.


Special 10 the Globe.
BISMARCK, n. D., Jan. 6. The sena-
torial contest is becoming fight to the
death. EX-Gov. Ordway is on his way
here from Washington to become can
didate, and Representative Johnson
will come to Bismarck early next week
to use all his influence against Casey.
The evident purpose of the enemies of
Senator Casey is to so split up the vote
as to prevent the senator from getting
majority OF the caucus. Votes will
therefore be cast for Ordway, Worst,
Kingman, Smith, eX-Gov. Burke and
probably half dozen for johnson him
self. The Democrats are working hard
to keep up the fight, with view to pre-
venting a caucus nomination. Their
only hope is in getting the houses to
ballot without caucuSing. The new
Populist attorney general, Spencer, will
begin at once sensational crusade
against the saloons of the state, which,
he says, have no right whatever to ex-
list under the prohibition law. He will
make it his business to completely root
out the rum traffic of North Dakota.
The question of resubmissiOn will come
up next week in the legislature. 1t will
probably originate in the senate and
pass there, but it will not pass the
house. The constitution Of the state to
be amended requires that one legisla-
ture shall propose the amendment and
the next legislature order it put to
vote of the people, so that it will take
two elections more to decide the matter,
even after it is put through both houses.

President Rarrison's Plan, as
Determined, Is of Very Modest
Character.
Home and Take q Good
Long Rest.

New York, Jan. Elm reference to
the plans of President Harrison after he
vacates the White house, the Washing
ton correspondent of the Tribdne says:
A gentleman whose relations with
President Harrison are of intimate
character said today that, while the
presidents plan was definitely formed,
it was of a modest character. The presi-
dent will go to indianapolis directly after
MIR. Cleveland's Inauguration aud make
arrangements for reopening his house
il that city. Having resumed his house
in indianapolis. the president will give
himself up to absolute rest from all
business cares and responsibilities for
such a period as he may deem advisable.
The reports that, having secured a
sufficient rest, he would form part
Dership with one or more distinguished
LAWYERS in the East or West and re-en-
gage in the active practice of his pro-
fession, were said to be entirely errone-
Gus and foreign to the presidents inclI-
nations and intentions. His purpose
was not to retire from the practice of
law altogether, but to contine his atten-
ton 10 few important cases, acting
referee or in similar cases which do not
require his too frequent appearance be-
fore state and municipal tribunals. 1t
was also stated that the presidents rep
utation as an able and experienced law
yer would doubtless bring to him legal
business of great importance and inter
est, and that, through this sort of pro-
