for the Western district of Missouri,
and j. Scott Harrison, brother of ex-
President Harrison, surveyor of the
port of Kansas City.
CREATED STORM.
Washington special St Louis Republic Nov. IL
One would think TO hear the comments of
Missourians on the streets tonight that Mis-
souri, was out OF the Union or just about to 70
out. The disgust Is great. the curses fierce.
1t Is all because OF couple of appointments
made by President Cleveland today IN the ex-
ercise OF his undoubted right and his wise dis
cretion. In making these appoint.
ments the entire Missouri delegation was
turned down with the eX seption Of Seth Cobb.
OF St Loais. who is always right side up with
care.
Never perhaps. did q state suffer such hu-
initiation through its representatives in con
gress as Missouri suffered to-day. The sena-
tors and all the representatives. except Mr..
Cobb. hal united in asking the administration
TO appoint either Col. Finks OF Salisbury. or
Mr.. Tiller OF Liberty. to be collector OF inter
nal rcvenue for the Western district. They
also served notice on the administration that
while some Of the delegation preferred Finks
and some preferred Tillery that all would he
satisfied with the appointment OF either.
II looks as IL the administration were
standing up for its friends and as il the silver
light had not yet been forgotten.

MEDICAL journals are calling atten-
ton 20 the growth of intemperance
among women. There can be no doubt
that the fair sex is becoming more and
more addicted to liquor yearly, and
their opportunities for indulgence are
constantly increasing. And it is a
well-known fact that woman who
once allows the passion for drink to get
the best of her seldom reforms. The
subject is serious one, and deserves
the most careful attention, not of
medical men alone, but of society at
large

BROOKLYN On. W, Oct. 23.-Democrats
in thousands gathered in the big Acad-
emy of Music this evening to hear SEN
ator David B. Hill speak. 1t was an
nounced as grand Democratic ratifica-
ton meeting and the promoters took oc-
casion to have long series of resolutions
printed and distributed. The resolutions
contained pledge to support Cleveland
and the National Democratic Admins
tration and demanded the prompt and
absolute repeal of the silver purchase
clause of the Sherman Act.
When Senator Hill came to the front
the great crowd cheered and half the
audience rose to their feet, waving flags
and handkerchieis. The Senator bore it
all calmly and placidly and when it was
over he began his speech.
Senator Hill opened with a short allu
sion 10 the opponents to democracy and
principles, saying it was the same COM
mon enemy with whom his party had
been contending for so many years. The
Senator spoke of the Ways and Means
Committee in the tariff provisions, and
said the country was on the eve of u
realization of Democratic promises. He
repeated his well-known views on the
Federal election law, referred briefly to
the finances of the National Government,
and then passed to the consideration OF
the Sherman law, "Another legacy LETT us
by the Republican party" On this subject
he said: The law is illogical in construc-
ton, vicious in tendencies and injurious
in operation. The President of the United
States. Grover Cleveland, performed
a patriotic act in promptly convening
Congress and recommending the repeal
of the Sherman law. In the desperate
effort to preven. or delay the passage of
this bill, freedom OF debate has been
abused. No matter what may be the
outcome of the present struggle the ne
cessity of a change in the Senate rules
has been abundantly demonstrated.
promise you the effort for a change, will
be continued, irrespective of the fate OF
the present bill. The majority must be
permitted to dominate and control
its proceedings, or else legislation be-
comes impossible"
The remainder of HIPS speech was
taken up with discussion Of State mat
ters, and he closed with prediction of a
great Democratic victory next month.

Governor Hughes and Minister Romero
Confer Concerning 1t.
WASHINGTON, Oct %. = Governor
Hughes OF Arizona had an important
conference with Minister Romero of
Mexico, touching the improvements of
the Colorado River which would add to
its importance as a channel of commerce.
The Governor represented to Romero
that the Colorado was the second largest
stream on the Pacific Coast. He said that
with secure jetties and with some dredg-
ing along the course Of the stream it
could be made navigable 900 miles, far up
into Arizona and Nevada, tapping the
rich mineral deposits in the mountains
and the fine agricultural and horticultural
region In the lower country. He pointed
out that Mexico, along the Gulf of Cali
fornla, was possessed of large forests Of
fine timber and immense deposits OF coal,
IN both OF which the southwestern por-
ton OF the United States was deficient.
Governor Hughes thinks the Govern
ment Of the United States would make
the improvements necessary within its
boundary If the Mexican Government
would undertake TO do as much within
Mexican territory. The lower l50 miles
OF the river Is in Mexico. Minister
Romero was very much impressed with
the representation made by the Governor,
and said he would recommend his Gov
ernment to give the matter attention. he
thought the best way to proceed would
be for the two Governments to join in the
appointment of a commission TO inyesti-
gate the entire question.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Ruling Which VIII be Benefit tt
Railroads In the Far West.

Ruling Which VIII be a Benefit to
Railroads in the Far West.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-A decision of
importance to the roads in the far West
was rendered to-day by the United States
Supreme Court in favor Of the contention
of the railroads.
The Denver and Rio Grande was sued
by the United States for the value of
timber. stone and other material taken
from the public domain used in the con-
struction of its railroad in sections re-
mote from the vicinity from which the
material was taken. Under the Act of
1879, granting railroads the right-of- way
over the public domain, they were given
the privilege of using materials on the
public domain, but it was contended by
the United States that this privilege was
timed so that the material could be used
only on the part of the road adjacent to
the place from which it was taken.
Justice Jackson, speaking for the
court, said this was too narrow con-
structiOn of the law and that there was
no Limitation as to the part of the road
on which the material might be used, the
only limitation being that the material
must come from lands adjacent to some
part of the railroads right-of-way. The
court accordingly affirmed the judgment
of the Colorado Circuit Court.
