now occupied by Senator PETER Ingalls,
is in the field, without any equivocation
or mental reservation, and all the numer-
Gus aspirants for the position will soon
so understand it. During the long and
varying contest last winter there was a
strong disposition am ong his friends out
side the Legislature to dispel all uncer-
tainty and solve the situation by making
q bold play for ingalls, at the proper time.
Numerous petitions, instructions and
re quests came from every portion of the
State, requesting the Republican repre-
sentatives to rally on the Ingalls, stand
ard, and there was at that time no doubt
as to his popularity among the voters of
the party. But to all entreaties, and
cool, determined reply: "But / am not
candidate for the Senate-not now.
The new law of Michigan providing for
the pensioning of teachers after twenty
five years of service is not popular among
those supposed to be benefited by it. The
teachers object to the appropriation of
one per cent. of their salaries to establish
the fund, the law requiring that deduc-
ton to be made. Having earned their
money they contend that part of it should
not be taken without their consent. In
addition to this ground of complaint
there is another unjust feature. A teach
er who leaves the State after twenty years
of satisfactory service and the annual
payment of the tax is prohibited from
claiming any income, and the plan of in
creasing the fund by dedu ctions from
salaries in cases of sickness is very un-
popular.

LONDON, March 5.-The Times
says that exc p.ional interest at
taches to the question that Sir Rio h.
ard Webster, M. P. for Isle of Wight,
division of Hampshire, and one of
the British counsel before the Boring
sea tribunal of arbitration, will put
to the government today-a question
in regard to the negotiations for a
settlement with the United States
of British SealerS claims for seizure
prior to the arbitration proceedings.
Sir Richard will point out that the
award of the tribunal was adverse
to the United States, the only point
unsettled being the amount Of COM
pensatiOn, and that Canada had
agreed to the amount she was will
ing to accept in full settlement of
her claims. Therefore he will ask
whether, in view Of the great and
growing discomfort in Canada, if the
government proposes to take any
action; if SO, what steps to settle the
dispute, either by obtaining the pay
ment by the United States of the
amount agreed, or if necessary by
arbitration.

SOL0NS IN WAR PAINT
EXCITING TIMES IN THE AR
KANSAW LEGISLATURE.
THE GOVERNOR iRAKED
In UnmercifuI Manner-Latter Re-
plies in Not the Choicest of
Language.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, March g.
Intense excitement was caused in
the house this afternoon when Mr..
Monroe, of this county, rising to a
question of personal privilege, bit
terly denounced Gov. Clarke in con-
nection with the governors criticism
Of the house for defeating the rail-
road commission bill. Monroe made
a hot speech and eXcoriated the gov
ernor in unmeasured terms. He ac-
cHsed Clarke Of promises when run
mig for attorney general to collect
back taxes from the telegraph and
railroad companies, which he had
failed to fulfill. He said he called
on the governor yesterday on pub
lie business, and was insulted by the
governor, who refused to receive
him. In the course of Monroe's bit
ter speech he was repeatedly eau
toned by the chair to use milder
language, but he paid no attention
and continued, saying: 81 do not say
anything here that I would not say
to any man and anywhere. I feel
branding that man who insinuates
anything against this body as an in
famous liar. 1 have more evidence
that Clarke is a rascal than he has
to prove the members of this legis-
lature rascals." A reporter asked
Gov. Clarke this evening what he
had to say in reply to Monroe's at
tack upon him. Said he:
I'm answer to your inquiry I have
to say that it is not expected of me
that l should notice every cur that
barks at my heels. The one you re-
fer to is already in possession of my
opinion Of him.
In the house this afternoon Mr..
Butler offered a resolution ordering
the sergeant-at-arms to eject from
the house the representatives of the
Memphis Commercial Appeal be-
cause of criticisms in that paper on
the course of the members who op-
posed the railroad commission bill.
Pandemonium reigned when the res
olution was read, and the house adj
journed until tomorrow by the ad-
vice of cool-headed members.

CUBANS STIRRED TIP
CAMPAS TO COMMAND.
PacfficadOr de Cuba to QucI Re-
"a beIIi0n.

LONDON, March GA dispatch to
the Standard from Madrid says that
Marshal Martinez J. Campos, who
was given the title of ''Pacificador
de. Cuba" owing to his successful
efforts some years ago to restore
tranquility in the island, has re-
turned to Madrid from Paris, where
he has been visiting. He has had
several interviews with Infanta Isa-
Della, Prime Minister Sagasta, the
minister Of war and the minister of
the colonies, and has promised to
accept the command in Cuba when
ever he shall be appointed to it.
Marshal de Campos was appointed
to the governorship of Cuba in 1876.
ana 1T was due to him that the in
surrection that broke out in 1868
and tasted ten years was brought to
an end. Upon the expiration of his
term of Office he returned to Spain
and has since taken a prominent
part in national affairs, notably in
the Melilla affair.
Gen. Calleja, captain general of
Cuba, has sent a dispatch to the
government asking that the rein
forcements for the troops on the
island be sent direct to Santiago de
Cuba equipped and ready to take
the field. The war office is hurrying
the preparations, and there is great
enthusiasm in military circles at the
prospect of campaign.

THE LATE ZIER BILL.

No act of the present legislature
will command more general or
hearty public approval than the
slaughter by the house of the So
called patent medicine bill, intro
duced by DR.. Zier, of Hennepin
county. There was nothing new or
original about the bill. 1t, or some
thing very much like it, has been in
troduced at nearly every session of
the legislature in the past, and the
manufacturers, dealers and other af-
fected interests have been put to the
trouble of making personal appeals
to their friends in the legislature to
defeat it.
To DR.. Zier, the author of the bill
before this house, the GLOBE at
tributes honorable motives in the
presentation of the measure. He is a
gentleman whose business standing
and probity raise him above the sus-
picion which usually attaches to the
author of such bills, and it only
serves as another and unansWer-
able argument against such meas
ures when a man of Dr. Tiers stand
ing, making a personal plea, cannot
secure even the recognition of a
place on general orders for his pet
measure. 1t is the first instance COM
ing to the knowledge of the GLOBE
where a man who is actually above
suspicion has introduced such a bill,
and it is probably the last time that
aF
on this measure reputable gentle
men will be chary of connecting
themselves with that class of legis-
lation.
DR.. Zier was probably led into
presenting the bill by very COM
mon mania to which members of the
legislature are peculiarly subject.
the mania for protecting people who
do not want or need protection, and
for correcting evils which exist only
in a morbid and active Imagination.
The public has long since made I'D
its mind that it is amply able to
take care of itself, and it is much in
clined to resent as an impertinence
the assumption of superiority which
prompts these public men to consti-
tute themselves guardians of some
body or something. If the public
wants to flood it's internal economy
with worthless nostrums it feels that
it has the right to do so, and does
not propose to submit to regulation
at the hands Of any one-even a doc
tor.
The patent medicine bill will come
up again when the next legislature
meets, probably not with such a re-
spectacle parentage, but with the
same sweeping provisions. When it
is next introduced it will probably
be by some practical member who
has an eye for business and who will
be less scrupulous in his manner of
dealing with it than the author of
the Zier bill has been. If the inter-
ested parties feel inclined to put
up" he will go into the committee
AMI tomahawk his own bill there.
just as it has been done in former
years, and if they do not there will
probably be enough clear-headed.
public-spirited men in the legislature
to strange it as they have strangled
the Zier bill.

GROVER ON THE BRINY.
President Enjoying Pleasant
Trip on the Viola.

NORFOLK, Va, March 6.-The
United States lighthouse tender
Viola, with the presidential party
aboard, which left Washington
Tuesday morning, arrived at Nor
folk this morning about $3.50 o'clock,
and proceeded directly to Ports
mouth, where stop was made at
the United States buoy yard Very
little interest was manifested in the
arrival of the party, and when they
reached the yard but two persons
were at the dock.
The president had not left his
stateroom when the Viola reached
Portsmouth, and there was no one
on deck but the crew of the vessel.
The president came up soon after
leaving Portsmouth, and was on
deck at s O'Clock, when the vessel
reached the Gilmerton dock, through
which she had to pass on her way
to the North Carolina waters.
In answer to inquiries, Commander
Lambertson said that the president
was feeling very well and had great
ly enjoyed the pleasant trip down
the bay and through Hampton
Roads. The commander stated fur
Their that the Viola was making her
regular inspection tour of the light
houses in ballast, and added that
the president had embraced the op-
portunity to spend few days away
from the turmoil of official life to en-
joy the scenery and the shooting to
be had in North Cardinals famous
sounds. The president, he said, had
been greatly fatigued by the rush of
business in the closing hours of con-
gress, and DR.. O'Reilly, his physi-
clan, had recommended a brief rest
and recuperation in outdoor exer-
else. Commander Lambertson said
the president would return in eight
or ten days, and hoped to have a

CUSTODY OF STATE FUNDS.

The proposition embodied in the
bill of Senator Masterman providing
a board of audit to have general
supervision of the custody and in
vestment of state funds is one that
should be carefully considered with
reference to it's details, amended, if
necessary, to meet the requirements
of the case, and enacted. That the
state of Minnesota should carry on
it's books the record of the malad-
ministration by which public funds
were deposited in banks having no
substantial financial support, and
which, for all that can be shown, are
a net loss to the state, is a sufficient
argument for the enactment of law
which will render such criminal neg
ligence impossible in the future.
1t is not only in the fact that money
has been deposited in unsafe banks
that the argument for better SyS-
tenn is found. 1t is a travesty on
justice that the funds of the state
should be permitted to lie in unpro-
ductive vaults while the toilerS are
sweating out the money for the sup
port Of the state government. That
banks should take this money from
the state at merely nominal rate
of interest and loan it at the usual
rate of interest shows that there is a
crew loose somewhere in the Sys-
tenn, and the discretion allowed the
treasurer in depositing funds wher-
ever he sees fit is of itself a tempta-
ton to wrong doing.
OF course the banks, as business
institutions, accept the deposits on
the best terms upon which they can
be secured, and where the funds are
deposited in absolutely responsible
banks the liability to wholesale loss
is reduced to the minimum; but
responsible and intelligent board
of audit, vested with adequate DOW
ers and allowed a reasonable degree
of discretion, could undoubtedly Sc
cure investment for the public funds
which would be absolutely safe and
at the same time yield a revenue
somewhere approXimating that
which would be expected by the in
vestor of private funds.

AT THE THEATERS.

Robert Hilliard, with his excellent
company, pleased two large audiences
at the Metropolitan opera house yes
terday with his new play, Lost, Twen-
ty-four Hours" and the beautiful one
act play, ''The Littlest Girl" The new
comedy. Lost, Twenty-four Hours"
is evidentlya big success. as the houses
are increasing nightly, and the perfor-
nance gives the best of satisfaction.
The same bill will be presented the
balance of the week, including Satur-
day matinee at reduced prices.
Today the sale of seats opens at the
Metropolitan opera house for the
weeks engagement, beginSAg Sunday
night, of Rice's great Surprise Party
in the up to Date extravaganza,
1892. with it's countless novel ballets,
marches, tableaux, pretty girls, daZ-
zling costumes, exquisite scenery, me-
chanical effects, brilliancy of dialogue
and tuneful music. The Minneapolis
papers of last Tuesday, without dis
senting voice, pronounced it the best
entertainment of its character ever
brought to that city, and the public
here Endorsed the opinion with the
most generous patronage. A remark
able feature Of the engagement is the
1act that no advance has been made
in prices, which should be thoroughly
appreciated, as the great expense of
SUCH production is thoroughly recog-
nlzable. Sixty people take part in the
entertainment, which is enhanced by
the efforts of an orchestra of eighteen
skilled musicians.

OF last seasons productions. There
has been a large amount of criticism

acter bestowed on it, many declaring
that it possesses features that can
not fail to insure its great and lasting
popularity. Effie Ellsler is an ever
welcome actress to our local stage,
and her appearance is always sure to
call out an appreciative and applaud
ing audience. In her new role she is
doubly welcome. Doris" will be

it was agreed to support the demand.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-Owing
to the lateness of the hour when the
news Of the demand for the recall
of the American consul general at
Havana was received it was impos-
sible to secure any information in
regard to it here. The last govern
ment Blue Book, dated July 1, 1898,

eral at Havana as Ramon o. Will

on the subject had reached the
Spanish legation here up to o'clock

ANTI-SEMITIC TALK.
Warm Debate in Reichstag Over
Jewish Immigration.

-
Jewish Immigration.
BERLIN, March 6.-During the de-
bate In the reichstag today the ques-
ton of restricting Jewish immigra ton
was discussed among other anti-Semite
proposals. Herr Haas suggested that
naturalization should be made condi-
tional upon the national sentiment of
the individual applying for it and upon
his ability to earn his livelihood. He
also proposed that measures be taken
to render it difficult for immigrants to
renounce German naturalization.
Reiskert combatted all the proposals,
declaring that Herr Haas wished to
erect a Chinese wall against free in
tercourse. According to this speaker,
1000 Jews have been naturalized during
the course of their generation, and he
asked if it constituted danger to Ger
many.
DR.. Won Boetticher said he regarded
the proposals as admissible so far as
making it more difficult to acquire citi-
zenship. 1t was contrary to the spirit
of the commercial treaties, however, to
prevent a Jew belonging to contract
ing state from engaging in trade in
was nothing to prevent the govern
ment from expelling a foreigner who
infringed the police regulations.
Herr Lieber said that, although the
Jews undoubtedly gave occasion for all
sorts of complaints, yet the Centrists
would oppose any laws or exception
fearing that it might be today the Jews,
tomorrow the Poles and the next day
the Catholics.
Herr Hermes, amid loud and unceas-
ing Interruptions, violently attacked the
anti-Semites, whom he declared to be
disgrace to Germany and worse
even then the socialists
Rector Ahlward, the notorious Jew
batter, who was recently released from
prison, where he had been serving a
term of three months for insulting
Prussian officials in a speech made at
Essen lin the presence of crowded
benches and galleries, continued the
debate with a violent diatribe against
the Jews whom he repeatedly described
as being "beasts of prey, swindlers and
pirates
Herr Richter protested against the
president of the reichstag, Herr Lee
vetzow, allowing such scandalous re-
marks to pass without censure, but
Herr Richter was himself rebuked by
Herr Levetzow, who, amid loud ap-
plause from the members of the Right,
said he could not permit his conduct in
the chair to be criticised.
To this Herr Richter retorted: eff
L have not a technical right to do so,
1 at least have the moral right on my
side" Great uproar)
The discussion was then closed, and
after heated personal alterations, the
proposals of Haas were rejected.
Later the resolution of Won Hammer
stein against Jewish immigration was
rejected by vote of 167 to 81.
