He IS AFTER THEM.
\ Number OF Illinois Ex-OfffciaIs
to Be Prosecuted for Irregu-
laritics in Office
In POcketing Interest and MisaD-
propriating Insurance Fees
and Other Perquisites.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. 10.-Acting
Gov. Gill again startled the poiti-
clans of the state capital this afternoon
by ordering the prosecution of all the
state treasurers and auditors since the
adoption of the constitution OF 1870, for
Irregularities in office in pocketine the
interest on the public funds, misappro-
priatlng insurance fees and other per-
quisites when should have been
turned into the state treasury.
Twelve state officials and nearly one
hundred bundSmen, running through
period of over twenty years, are con-
cerned in the proceedings ordered, and
tonight the wires are busy with mes
sages to all portions of the state notify
ing the parGeS interested of the legal
contest that is about to be begun. The
acting governor, in an official cOmmun-
cation to Attorney General MalOnev.
says that 100000 has been Illegally
sequestered from the public treasury,
ana it is virtually call to arms to all
those who for many years have vainly
protested against violations of the law,
and denounced the JreaSurerS of Illinois
for appropriating the interest. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Gill has called into
consultation some Of the leading iurists
OF the state.
Officials against whom he directs the
attorney general to begin prosecution
are: EX-State Auditors Charles +. Lip
pincott, Thomas B. Needles and Charles
p. Swigert, eX-State Treasurers Z. n.
Bates, Edward Ruiz, Thomas s. Ridge
way, John c. Smith, Jacob Gross, John
h. Tanner, Charles Becker and Edward
S. Wilson. All are Republicans except
Wilson, who is Democrat and served
from 1891 to 1898, having been elected
on a platform which explicitly de-
nGunced the practice Of state treaSurerS
apprOpriating interest Oh public funds.
EX-AudltOr LlppincOtt and eX-State
Treasurer Bates are dead, but suits will
run against their bOndSmen, most of
whom are still alive and residents of H.
linois. Prominent lawyers here declare
that the statutes and constitution are
even more unfavOrable to the eX-Officials
than in Wisconsin. 1t is said that the
decisive action OF Acting-Gov. Gill is
due to growing disposition OF some of
the leaders of the general assembly to
to temporiZe with a grave question.
When the prosecution of eX-Auditor
Pavey was ordered two weeks ago, it
was understood by Gov. Gill and the
attorney general that the assembly
adopt resolutions, without delay, for the
investigations by special committees
into official misconduct of the officials.
This was not done, however, and the
supreme court. having already rem
dered an opinion upon practically the
same point, Gov. Gill concluded it was
| making the executive an "accomplice
after the fact" to longer delay the pros
ecutiOn Of the offenders, in view of the
great public clamOr all oyer the state.

that there was reason to believe he
would accept. This would make the
cabinet up to date stand: Secretary of
state, Walter @. Gresham, Of Indiana !;
secretary of the treasury. John e.. Carr

Daniel 5. Lamont, of New York, 1t il
known that Mr.. Cleveland has selected
his postmaster general. but neither he
nor any Of his friends will give the
name. Some of them say the place has
been given to Western man. EX-Gov.
Isaac Pussy Gray and his Indiana friends
have insisted that the portfolio was
promised personally by Mr.. Cleveland
to eX-G0v. Gray. In refutation OF thi;
Mr.. CleVeland'S advisers said:
"'WhOever heard of MI. Cleveland
promising anything"
But. in any event, should the newi
concerning Judge Gresham turn out
to be correct, iC is not probable
that Mr.. Cleveland would give
the Hoosier state two places in the cab
met. The gossip concerning the place
was all to the effect that it would go to
either Gov. BOies. of Iowa. or E. c.
Wall or Edward f. Knight, of Wiscon.
SIN, or eX-GOv. Almon b. Morse. of
Michigan. The name mentioned more
frequently than any other for secretary
of the navy is Hilary a. Herbert, OF
Alabama, chairman of the house COM
mittee on naval affairs. The reports to
the effect that Henry Willard, or friend
Of his selection, is to be secretary of the
interior are revived. Mr.. CleveIand's
closest advisors, especially on financial
matters, are Mr.. Willard, Horace White,
Carl Schurz and James Il. Woodward,
president of the Hanover bank. 1t may
be put down as a fact that Gen Patrick
\. Collins is to succeed John e. New as

CONSIDERED PENSIONS.

Tho immense appropriation Bill
Receives Little Attention.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-General dis
cussion of All annual appropriation bill
is usually pro forma proceeding. 1t
was supposed, however, that when the
pension bill came up i'll the house today
there would be a break in the dull
routine. But there was not. Mr..
Mutchler, of Pennsylvania, who had
charge of the bill. made a two-hours
speech, which, though bristling with
statistics and delivered in his courteous
manner, did not attract close at
tention. Mr.. Circuit, OF Vermont,
also spoke with great earnest
ness against the proposed revision of
the pension laws, but he also failed in
securing the attention of the house. Mr..
Tarsney, of Missouri, who is one of the
great stump orators of the house. failed
to do himself justice. He read his
speech. Mr.. Mckinney, who is said to
be on the slate for commissioner Of pen
slons, was also powerless to secure ST.
lent audience. Mr.. O'Neill, of Massachu-
sets, was in no better situation. In
fact, bill which carries more than
S166, 000,0 900 was considered as though it
carried no more than 166 cents. With
out closing the general debate, the COM
mittee rose and the house took & recess
the evening session to be for the con-
Sideraton of private pension bills.

POLITICAL BOLDNESS
On the Part ofCIeveiand in Select
ing gresham.


ing Gresham.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 0.-Editorially
the World has this to say upon the sub
ject Of Judge Gresham's appointment
as secretary of state: ''A5Suming the
truth of the report, it is an example of
Mr.. Cleveland's political boldness thus
to call to what is nominally the first
place among his advisers one who has
never definitely joined the Democratic
party. Judge Gresham is a conspicuous
representative of the great host Of
former Republicans who have broken
with their party because of its inf
deity to the peoples interests and
have brought the Democratic party into
power in order to restore the admins
tration of the national government to
the principles of duty and responsible
lty on which the nation was founded.
OF Judge GreSham'S great ability and
high character there can be no Ques-
ton. He is thoroughly American in all
his instincts and training"
The Times, speaking editOrially, says:
"Mr. Cleveland's reported invitation to
Judge Walter @. Gresham to take the
place Of secretary of state in his cabinet
is received with marked satisfaction By
prominent Democratic senators i'll
Washington. Apart from tile fact that
Judge Gresham is man of the highest
character and of decided ability, his
selection is new guarantee of disrG-
gard OF narrow political considerations
on the part of Mr.. Cleveland. The APP
pointment would be regarded with
enthusiasm in the West"
The Sun says: sin substantatlOn OF
the news from Chicago concerning
Judge Gresham. those close to Mr..
Cleveland i'll New York admitted yes

Statistics Show a Heavy Reduc-
ton in Swine.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The report
of the statSticlan upon comparative
numbers and. values of farm animals
based on returns of January, 1892, is
nearly ready for publication. 1t shows
an increase of horses, mules and sheep,
no material change in the number of
milcn cows, decrease in oxen and
other cattle. and very heavy reduction
in the number Of swine. The estimated
present number Of domestic animals on
farms, ranches and the public range are

exceeds 1000, 900. Il continuation of the
movement which commenced in 1889,
by which numbers have increased
nearly 100000 in four years. In
the case Of swine there was Il
small pig crop last spring, and the adj

Strengthening of some portion Of the

to extreme tluctuation in numbers,
which is possible of no other species.

horses and mules and advanced as to
cattle of ali kinds. A greater gain APP

large advance is seen i'll swine. amount

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb. 10.-The most
exciting scenes of tie senatorial contest
occurred during the Joint session today.
There was no excitement at the opening
of the session. and the vote proceeded
much as usual until the name of
Speaker TibbalI was reached, when he
explained his vote By saying that he
had every desire to see the deadlock
broken, and to This end he would cast
his vote for Gen. Charles Thompson.
This brought about a stampede from
New to Thompson, and one Republican
voted for him. The changing Went.on
until the vote stood: EX-Chief Justice

son (Dem.), Il; Beck (Dem.), s; New

If another ballot had been taken the
chances are that Gen. Thompson would
have been elected, but it was thought
wise by certain members of all three
parties TO adjourn. Gen. Thompson is
Il strong silver man, miner by occu-
patton He came West and settcd in
Colorado in 1883. He was appointed
surveyor general Of Wyoming by Cleye-
land and has since resided in Cheyenne.
The strongest kind of an effort will be
made to elect Thompson tomorrow, bat
there will aso be a counter movement,
and it is thought that the friends Of
Beck or Baxter may be able to get up
combination with the Republicans be
tween uoWaud noon. Everything now
points to break in the deadlock and
the election Of a senator tomorrow.
Waren's friends are trying to get
enough Democratic votes to elect him.
John Charles Thompson is one of the
Kentucky family Of Thompsons. Thomp-
SON was one of the first Democrats to
take up the invasion question in the
last campaign and made some vigorous
speeches for the Democratic ticket.

Some Disappointment Felt
Among New York Poll

CHICAGO, Feb. TO- Judge Gresham
again spent the entire day in his private
chambers. With the exception of few
brief intervals, when his attention was
called away by visitors. he was busy in
the preparation of decisions in the
cases which have been submit
ted to him in the circuit court.
The judge studiously avoided all
reference to politics i'll his conversation
with visitors, and even his Old acquaint-
ances, who expected possible crumb
of news in the shape of an affirmation
or denial. went away as they went in.
While the judge continues reticent, his
course in SO closely applying himself to
the work of preparing decisions In eases
previously heard is interpreted as in
dcating his intention to clear up the
work now before him, preparatory to
retiring from the bench.

HELENA, Mont, Feb. 10.-The SEN
atorial fight in Montana is more mixed
now than it has been since the fight be-
gan. Last night the Republicans held
q caucus and, after a session lasting
three hours, the majority decided to
drop Sanders as the caucus candidate
and substitute Lee Mantle, of Butte, in
his stead. The strong Sanders men
protested at the action, and some Of
them declared they would never vote
for Mantle. TOday'S vote in the Joint
assembly proved they meant what they
said. Mantle received p votes (all Re
publcams). Clark p zone POpulist one
Republican. and % Democrats). Sand
erS two Republicans and one Demo
craU Dixon Ii mine Democrats and
two PopuliSts) and Couch one "a Re-
publcan). Davidson, the sick Demo
Crat. was present for the first time in
the joint assembly and voted for
Clark. There are rumOrs tonight
that Clark will get enough Republican
votes tomorrow to elect him, despite the
opposition of the Daly-DIXOn people.
They cannot be traced to any author
itatiVe source, but this opinion is very
general. Sanders has no chance.
Mantle can never get as many votes as
Sanders did, and, unless the Democrats
elect by next Tuesday. the Republic
ans and two of the Popuists will unite
on I. II. Carter or eX-GOV. B. f. White.
Carter is the most probable, as there is
a feeling among the Republicans that
he can draw one or more Of the Dixon
Democrats to his support, and, in order
have one Democrat or all three of the
Populists. The latter they cannot get,
as Beecher, Populist, will stay by the
Democrats till the end.
