MENOMINEE LUKEwARM.
The Northern Peninsula Wouldn't
Object to SeDaratfOn

MENOMINEE, Mich, April 20.-ThiS
city has always felt well disposed to
any reasonable proposition that would
detach the upper from the lower PENN
sula of this state In fact, residents
of upper Michigan have always seemed
like foreigners in strange land, as
the southern portion, which, of course,
controls state matters. has little in
common with the northern part. The
great distance from the capital, the
different productions, the Intervening
of large body of water, all have d
tendency to keep the two sections
estranged. This northern section has
been repeatedly snubbed and neglect
ed. Railroads have for years been
legally empowered to rob the travel
ing public. Many laws are different in
this section from those in the southern
section, so that in many respects this
vicinity is treated like conquered
province. The lonly so-called .ad-
vantage given its people is the pay
ment of 10 cents a mile for mileage for
members of the state legislature from
the upper peninsula, which cannot be
said to be much Of a benefit to the
people at large. &

CHALLENGE TO CARLISLE.
Senator Blackburn's interview has
called forth the following editorial
from e. w. Knott, editor of the
Evening Post, who calls upon Sec
rotary Carlisle to come out and an
swer Senator Blackburn: Senator
Blackburn has issued a challenge to
the administration and to the friends
of the administration. He uttered it
first in January in an interview in
the Evening Post and he repeats it
today.
He makes his position clear; the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of
16 to l regardless of consequences.
1t is challenge which Mr.. McCreary
cannot meet; which must be met by
the gentleman from Kentucky who
is by invitation Of Mr.. Cleveland sec
rotary of the treasury. 1t should
have been met before. Under the
defiance of Mr.. Blackburn and Mr..
Proctor Knott, the silence of the sec
rotary savors too much of timidity.
THE fight for sound principles, for
reason, for Democracy must be made
and made before the meeting Of the
state convention in June.
Hard money Democrats have wait
ed for some indication that he was in
earnest. He is the natural leader in
this contest and he cannot open the
campaign too soon, nor put into it
too much of the fighting quality.
The crisis is upon the Democratic
party in Kentucky and it cannot be
averted.
Speak now, Mr.. Carlisle, or for
ever after hold your peace"

FOR ANNEXATION,
But Not willing to Give Up Any
thing.

MADISON, Wis, April 20.-Gov.
Upham said tonight in regard to the
proposed new state from portions of
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan,
that Wisconsin is willing to annex
everything, Canada included, but will
not give up a thing. Assistant At
torney General Luse takes a similar
view. Senator T. B. Mills, who re-
presents the Superior district, is will
ing that Duluth shall be united to the
Budger commonwealth, but is not
agreeable to the suggestion that
Superior is placed elsewhere than in
Wisconsin. 1t is said that the legisla-
ture would not even have authorized
the appointment of commissioners to
meet other commissioners from Mime
sofa looking to a union of Superior and
Duluth if a penny of expense to the
state We're involved.

GREAT MINERAL STATE.
Superior People Like the PROMO
SitiOR.

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, April 90
Many prominent citizens in this
locality are greatly dissatisfied with
the treatment the northern. portions
of Wisconsin and Minnesota have re-
ceived from the southern parts of these
states, which, as the most thickly
populated, control the legislation.
Capt Alexander McDougall is firm
in 1.-THE position he has taken and
earnestly asserts that a new state
should be set aside to include the
mineral portions of the common
wealths of Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota, which have repeatedly
been snubbed and ignored by the
southern interests of the states. Very
recently a proposition was made by
the Minnesota legislature to bring
about the annexation of the portion
of Northern Wisconsin on which
Superior is situated to the State of
Minnesota. Later the Wisconsin
legislature proposed to secure the an

of the upper peninsula is that the

of the additional territory taken, en-
bracing the principal mineral and tim

and Wisconsin.

SCORES OF VISITORS.

Theodore Durant passed good
night and this nsrning ate a hearty
breakfast and was in a happy mood
when shortly after o'clock visitors
began to arrive. To these he talked
cheerfully, and from his conversation
it would seem he had no fear of being
convicted for the horrible crime that
the coroner's jury says he committed.
Many of his visitors are physicians,
who seem to take more than ordinary
interest in the young man, and who,
without exception, say he is a remark
able man from any standpoint. This
morning almost a score of Durant's
fellow students from the medical col
lege called to see him, but Durant
turned his back on them and would
have nothing to do with them. The
police have little hope of discovering
any of the much-talked-of bloody
clothes worn by the murderer.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, April 20
Near the mouth of the ten mile

SEELEYS SIDE PARTNER.
He Was Also in the EmbezzIine-

NEW YORK, April pa SEQUEL
to the stealing Of Samuel G. Seeley,
Of the National Shoe and Leather
bank, came to light this evening by
the announcement that another
shortage had been discovered in the
financial institution. The culprit
this time, strange to say, is a brother
in-law of the convicted defaulter.
His name is Samuel e. Aymer. He
had been employed by the bank for
many years and occupied a desk that
adjoined that used by Seeley before
he fled. The discovery was made this
afternoon after the close of banking
hours. When Aymer was arrested
he expressed surprise that his crime
had been discovered. He admitted
the robbery and said he could not
tell how much it amounted to. 1t
had been going on for some years.

Rev. j. G. Gibson, who has been

Appointment Baptist in Oakland has
addressed letter to Gibson, advis-
ing him that in view of the charge
made in communication that he is
implicated in the murder of Miss Will
liams, he should bring suit for libel,
so.that the matter might be brought
to- proof. The pastor has yet made
no reply to this.
Now that the inquest in the muir
der of Miss Williams has come to a
conclusion, public interest is center
ing in the inquest that is to be held
next Thursday in the case of
Blanche Lamont, whose naked body
was found in the belfry of the church,
with the. marks of strangers fingers
upon her neck. This murder is also
attributed to Durant. The police and
coroner are said to be in possession of
evidence in both ci.ses that has not
been disclosed, only enough being al
lowed to come out in the testimony
at the inquest to hold the suspected
man for trial.
