terdny sent to the senate the following
nominations: Rufus W. Pcckham OF New

prernc court Of the United States; Richard

bany and judge Of tho ctart OF appeals Of

will be satisfactory to Senator Hill, whose

tnb ronflrmation of Messrs. Hornblower
and Wheeler ii. Peckham, tho two Now
xorkers whose names were sent In by
President Cleveland for the supreme court
Louisiana. Senator Hill on several oceas-
Sons has spoken highly of the new nominee
for supreme court Justice, who is a brother
of Wheeler H. Peckham.
Rufus w. Peckham is son Of the late
Judge Rufus w Peckham, of the New
York court of appeals, who was drowned

steamer Vile du Havre on Nov. 2a, 1873.

Of his brother Wheeler. Tho prominent

CAMPAIGN FUNDS STOLEN.


Chicago Party Managers Said TO Have
Y Incorporated e7so,000.
CHICAGO, Dec. a. Tbrce.quarters Of q
MILL, ga lollars has been stolen from the
campG4sn fund Of tho Democratic party,
raised for the years 1903, 1894 and the spring
Of 1895. This charge is madc by H. g.
Mcdonald and Alderman John Powers,
and is sustained by the nowly elected
chairman of the county central committee,
Thomas Gahan, In the statement that tho
funds of the past two years have not beon
accounted for. Thc money was raised for the
campaign fund which resulted in the cleo
tion Of John p Hopkins over George B.
Swift as mayor. for the county commits
sioners campaign following, for the al
derinanio campaign, for the Went contest
and for tho drainage canal campaign, but
recently closed.
The Democratic administration Of the
central committee. born out OF the assnssi:
nation of Carter Harrison, is charged with
the misuse OF this money. And for this
misuse no explanation is Mt present forth
coming from the Democratic citizens, who
stand under the charge of having taken
money for their own personal benefit, in
volving in Its expenditure trips to Europe,
to West Baden and to Hot Springs, and
the building Of various expensive resi-
dences in different parts of the city.

Tho Howell Murder TRIAL.

WELLsBoRo, Pa, Dec. 4.-The Howell
murder case Is practically at standstill,
the attention Of the court yesterday being
occupied in listening to offers and reject
ing exhibits made by ths commonwealth
of specimens of Mrs. Howelrs printing
and handwriting Judge Mitchell rejected
four offers Of this kind, and the cause of
the prosecution has received setback in
consequence. The oommonwealth's evil
dence, 1t is said, practically finished, and
it is the general opinion that no motive for
the crime has been shown. A. s. and S.

wealthy New York business men, are on
hand, with ex-Judge Henry Daily, Jr.
The latter Is evidently hero as an adviser

There were also several for the modifle,a-
tion of the pension laws. Senators PETER,
Stewart and Squire reintroduced their
bills of last session pertaining to silver
coinage.
Mr.. Lodge of Massachusetts,, offered a
resolution, vigorous in its terms, reaffirm-
ing the principles of the Monroe doctrine,
ahd presenting them in such form as TO
permit their enactment as q permanent
law, rather than an expression OF the pol
10Y advocated by President Monroe. In tho
came line was a resolution by Mr., Cullom,
OF Illinois, and another by Mr.. Allen, Of
Nebraska.
The Cuban situation received some at
tention, Mr., Call Offering a resolution for
