GLOWING and loyal rs was Mai. J.
NJ. Beardsley's tribute TO President
Cleveland at the Rodman Rifle ban
quet last night, and much a. all
patriotic citizens deprecate and
question the course of Gov. Altgeld
in the hour Of national peril in rails
ing an issue a. between national au-
thority and state sovereignty TO put
down lawlcssness, it was surely n
manifestation OF exceeding bad taste
for the major 10 attack the governor
Mt such u time. The governor is
commandcr-in-chic of the state mi
litia. and is the head of the military
government Of which Company A is
a part. The Rifles responded to the
call To arms OF the governor. and are
expected TO respect his mandates.
just rs the governor should respect
those OF his superior-the president
and an attack on the governor at
such time amounted TO almost an
insult To- those who constituted the
honored guests. The majors posi-
ton was as in opportune last even
ing as was that of the governor when
the president Of the United States
discharged his duty to the nation.

sToLEA FRESHMAN.
Dartmouth Sophomores Have Him in
Hiding and Are Under a Ban.

Hanover, N. H., February 20.-The
class supper of the Dartmouth freshmen
was to have been held on the 21st, at
Manchester. The sophomores supposed
that B. A. Terrell of Brooklyn, N. Y,
would be toastmaster. Last night Ter
rel was forcibly taken from mis- room in
one of the professors houses, bundled
into sleigh and carried to some hiding
place previously selected by the sopho-
mores, where he is still held. President
Tucker called a meeting of the sopho
more class this morning, and after tell
ing them that depriving man of his lib
erty, even as college joke, was of too
serious nature in itself to pass unno-
ticed, and would create feeling be-
tween the classes that ought not to exist,
said they must bring Terrell back
by. 6 o'clock tonight and, pend
ing the result, postpone prepara-
tions for their own class supper.
which was to have been held at White
River Junction tomorrow night. At "a
meeting of the '96 class this afternoon.
it was voted not to comply with the
above terms. The class committee this
evening asked for an extension of time
until tomorrow morning at s, on the
ground that the action taken was not
fully understood by the class. The re-
quest was granted. The freshmen, fear
ing the disappearance of the toastmaster,
appointed four men for the position, SO
they still have three available.

Mr.. REED WILL OPPOSE 1T.
The Resolution According Admiral Be

The Resolution According Admiral Ben
ham the Thanks of Congress.
Washington, February 20.-As soon as
the Bland seigniorage bill is disposed OF
in the House, Mr.. Money, Democrat, Will
take up the Benhaul resolution. Mr..
Money says this resolution simply con-
veys the satisfaction of Congress at the
prompt and energetic means employed by
Admiral Benham to protect American
interests at Rio. 1t does not contain the
thanks of Congress and carries no
privilege which would entitle Admiral
Benham to remain on the active list
after he had reached the retiring age.
Mr.. Reed, Republican of Maine, has
notified Mr. Money. that he Will oppose
the adoption of the resolution. Mr.. Reed
explains that this will not be done in
any spirit of hostility to Admiral Ben
ham. The latter, he says merely per-
formed his duty and he sees no reason
why the Admiral should be signaled, out
for distinction by q resolution. More

RlDDEFoRD's BOY BURGLARS.
Trunk Full of Swag- They May Have
Robbed the Hamlen Cottage.
Especial to the Press. ]

Saco, February 2O-The four Biade-
ford boys who were arrested in Ports
mouth, Saturday, for the burglary of
prove to be just the gang that the police
of both cities have been wanting to lay
hands on for some time. There have
been numerous breaks in Biddeford
during the last two years, and these boys
are now suspected OF making nearly all
of them.
This afternoon the four, Durant.
Siddall Riley and Roussin, were bound
over until the May term of the Supreme
court in the sum of $500 each. Riley
was the only one who obtained bail.
In. the trunk that City Marshal Seavey
and Mr.. Wentworth found at Sopers-
worth yesterday, was a queer collection
of stolen goods. 1t was found at the
boarding house where the boys stayed
Friday night. In the trunk, besides
most of the goods stolen from Mr.. Vent
worth, was diamond drill, which it
is believed was used in blowing open the
safe of E. G.. Luques in Biddefasd last
August. 1t is now believed that the
Atwood safe in the June before, as the
jobs resem bled each obher.
A large number of tools that were
stolen from James A. Gray's brick yard,
where Roussin formerly worked, were
also found; also valise and some per-
sonal property of George e. johnson of
Biddeford, stolen about week ago, and
a nice gold watch that has not yet been
identified. Charles J.Cleaves's gunstore
in Biddeford was broken into year ago
and two pistols, supposed to have come
from there were found, also number of
drug store.
More arrests are likely to follow, and
it is now thought that this same gang
may have been the one that made the
break at the Lawrence house at Old
Orchard last summer and that later
robbed the Hamlen cottage at Grand
Beach. Some girls are mixed up in the
affair.

DYING WITH THE CATTLE.
The Herding Industry in the Indian
Reservations in Oklahoma.

Guthrie, 0. T., February 90 The
unprecedented storms of January % and
February II and 12 have wrought dire
havoc among the cattle upon the great
ranges in the Indian reservations in this
territory. Extreme cold and the unusual
accompaniment of large quantities of
snow could not well be withstood by
cattle already weakened by the shortage
of winter pasture, and thousands of them
perished while those that remain are in
very shaky condition. The cattlemen.
who have cattle in this territory, will be
badly cramped by their losses and they
declare that they will market what stock
they have in the spring and quit the
business. Continued low prices, the
cutting down of their pastures by the
settling of the lands and the constant
meddling of Congress with their leases
with the Indians, have caused them all
to lose heavily. If the treaties made
with the Indian tribes are ratified by the
present Congress, the range land in this
territory will be so greatly reduced in
area that Oklahoma will no longer be a
factor in the production of range cattle.

Free Ira06rS.
Washington, February 20.-A bill 60
abolish the consular sealing" system
on foreign goods passing through Canada
was introduced in the Senate today by
Mr.. Culiom, Republican of Illinois, and
referred to the committee on finance. Its
object. is to abolish the method whereby
foreign importers are now enabled to
reach certain American ports in advance
of American producers.
Mr.. Voorhees,, Democrat of Indiana,

was signed by over 1000 citizens in Mass
achusetts, favoring the passage of the
Wilson tariff bill as Offering a sub
stantial measure relief from the most
burdensome eXactions of the existing
tariff law" He was asked by Mr.. Hoar,
Republican OF Massachusetts, to state
the name which headed the list of
signers. and replied that the first name
was Henry L. Pierce.
Mr.. Hoar said that if the opinion of
the people of Massachusetts was taken
there would be more than one hundred
the usa Id majority aeai st the views ex-
press.4 in the petition.
Mr.. voorhees, remarked that he found
among the signatures few other ols-
tinguished names, and mentioned John
NJ. Forbes. VIM. Lloyd Garrison, Amos
W. Stetson, Mr.. Endicott and that class
of men, signifying, he said, that me ne
memorial was not partisan paper. ne
received with it private letter STATING
that the signers were largely made up OF
men who had, up to this time, voted the
Republican ticket. =.
Mr.. Hoar remarked that the name OF
Mr.. Forbes would command respect and
reverence wherever heard in Massachu-
setts. He had no comment to make on
the other names. a.
