stood that Secretary Herbert
has asked him for an explain
alton.
Ex-Congressman Vance, of
Ohio, says of the political sit
uation in his State: democrat
ic sentiment is predominately
in favor of the nomination of
Ex-Goy. Campbell. He is for
sound money, and would make
the best race on account of his
personal popularity and good
campaigning ability, and he
would draw both elements Of
the party around him, the sill
yer as well as the sound money
men. OF course the party is
divided on the silver question,
but the leaders are almost all
for sound money, among the ex
ce ptions being, Alien G.. Thur
man, .jr., chairman of the Stale
executive committee, and Sec
cretary Taylor; but looking the
State over ] find that the big
men of tAe party are for sound
money, and believe that the
democratic state convention
will on sober second thought so
declare itself. As for the re-
publicans, they will probably
adopt a resolution referring the
whole matter to the incoming
republican Congress"
Democrats generally regard
the position taken by Senator
Gray concerning that alleged
election of Col. Dupont to be a
U. S. Senator by the Delaware
Legislature as the correct one,
and believe with him that the
Senate will not allow Col. Du-
pont to take his seat. Even as
radical a republican as Senator
Mitchell; Of Oregon, expresses
doubt of Dupont's claim. Ser
ator Morgan, of Ala, doesn't
believe that Dupont viii be
seated, nor that the U. s. Sen
ate has any Constitutional
right TO question the legality
of Gov. Watson's vote as Sena-
tor while acting Governor OF
the State. Senator Morgan also
calls attention to the fact that
only one man has been allowed
during his Senatorial career to
take a seat in the Senate with
out first presenting the Cover
nor's certificate of his election.
That man was Roscoe Conkling
but in his case the certificate
had been sent by the Governor
of New York, but was delayed
in the mails. Dupont will not,
it is certain, get a certificate
from Gov. Watson.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
All Quiet Along the Potomac.
Income Tax Decision
Will Be Published
Next Week
Special Correspondence Of THE HERALD

Washington, May 10, 1896
President Cleveland is taking
things easy and enjoying these
delightful May days a this sub
urban home, only coming in to
the White House on Cabinet
days. For the first time in
many months the wheels of
the government are moving
without a jar. All the threat
ening foreign complications
have heen peaceably straighten-
ed out or have reached a stage
at which they are no longer
threatening; and our domestic
affairs are all in a promising
condition. If this period of
quietness lasts it is probable
that the President will accom-
pany Mrs. Cleveland and the
children when they go to Gray
Gables. for the summer.
The Supreme Court has de
cided the income tax cases,
but the nature of the decision
will not be known until next
week, unless some enterprising
newspaper man finds a way to
get at it before it is officially
announced, as was done with
the first decision. There are
surface indications that Justice
Jackson voted to uphold the
constitutionality of the law.
His vote was practically the
decision, unless there has been
some change among the other
eight justices, who were equal
Ily divided as to the constitu-
tionality of the tax when the
first decision was made.
Admiral Meade has proven
that the administration had eX-
celleht grounds for fearing to
( put him in a position where a
war with a foreign country
might depend entirely upon his
discretion, by showing that he
has no discretion. His publish
interview while in New York
not only shows him to be a
man without discretion, but to
be what no army or navy
Office should bean intensely
bitter political partisan. 1t is
the opinion of naval officials
that Admiral Meade's iniudi
cious and bitter public critic
cism of the government has
made him liable TO be tried by
court martial, under article 23J
of the naval regulations, which
I prohibits officers communicate
ing, by interview or otherwise,
any comments or criticism OF
any department of the govern
ment. Under that same article
a courtmaruai IS to convene
next week to try Medical In
spector Nershner, upon charges
made by Admiral Meade. The
personal popularity Of the hot
headed, but brave and gen
erous Admiral, may be suf-
licient to keep him from being
court-martialed; but should any
officer Of the navy make formal
complaint against him the Pres
ident would be almost com
PEELED to either order a court
martial or an examination as

John Breid denthal and Others Form Their
Wyoming Company.
State Bank Commissioner Breidenthal
has returned from Laramie, Wyoming,
where he and several other prominent
Topeka and Kansas men have just
organized a big company to develOpe
the large plaster beds recently discover
ed near Laremie.
The company which they organized
will be known as the Standard Cement
& Plaster company and has a capital
stock af $4,000.
The directors for the first year are

and John W. Breidenthal is treasurer.
The company has purchased 1877
acres of land adjoining the city of Lara
mie, 700 acres OF which it is said is a
solid bed of plaster, and it is claimed is
three times as large as any plaster bed
yet discovered.

of settling the decree in the Atchison
case. The parties interested will arrive
today and the decree will probably be en-
tered tomorrow. l shall not hold court
today unless the parties interested
arrive in time. for l came here
for no other purpose than to settle up
this business. All the parties are anxious
to get the property out of court and it is
believed the decree will be carried into
effect and the purchasers at the sale
come into possession of the property
within sixty days. That seems like a
very short time but I believe it will be
done.
"As for the Frisco and the Atlantic &
Pacific 1t will require some time longer
for this business must first be got out of
the way and the bondholders salts
fed and then it will remain for the
receivers to make the best terms possible
with the bondholders of the other two
lines l am of the opinion that the mat
ter can be satisfactorily adjusted within
a very short time'
"Will the present receivers of the
Santa Fe be continued as receivers of the
other Iines?'
"Yes, they will be in charge until the
! affairs of the other two lines will be ad
Justed and the roads taken out of the
hands of the court"
"Do you think that the Frisco and A.
& P will be continued under the Santa
te management"
81 can not tell No one can tell until
the roads are taken out of the hands of
the receivers, but l am of the opinion
| that the bondhoIders are in favor of con-
tinuing the management as one great
| system"
"No one can realize," continued Judge
! Caldwell, "what great amount of work
has been done to bring the Atchison af-
fairs up to where they are now. l was
determined that the system should
be taken out of the court as soon as pos
sible and told them when the receivers
were appointed that it would be with the
understanding that the road was not to
be operated by the court any longer than
is absolutely necessary. The system has
been very fortunate in having the very
best attorneys and they were largely in
strumentaI in the speedy adj ustment of
the affairs of the company. The trus-
tee, the Union Trust company of New
York, has also been greater help and
the speedy arrangement of the business
is matter for congratulation. 1t is my
policy to get the railroads in my court
out of the receivers hands as soon as pos
| aible"

promised that he would look

Judge Hazen Decides Motion in Major
Hudson's Damage Case Against Him.

Judge Hazen Decides Motion in Major
Hudson's Damage Case Against Him.
Judge Hazen this morning knocked
out of court a case in which Editor ]. K.
Hudson of the Capital has brought suit
against w. H. Baker of ST. Louis and his
attorneys Quinton & Quinton for dam
ages.
Last spring Mr.. W. H Baker of ST.
Louis brought suit in the United States
court against J. K. Hudson and the To-
peka Capital Coin which be asks the court
TO make the Capital company liable for
some debts contracted by ]. e. Hudson,
president of the company, and also ask
ed for the appointment of a receiver for
the Capital company.
Editor Hudson Immediately in retalia-
tion brought suit in the Shawnee county
district court, against Mr.. Baker and his
attorneys, Quinton s. Quinton, for $25. 900
damages, charging malicious prosecution
in the suit filed in the United States
court.
Quinton & Quiuton then entered de-
murrer to Editor Hudson's petition, and
asked that the case be dismissed on the
grounds that it did not state a cause of
action, or in other words they claimed
that even if all that was charged in Edi-
tor HudsOn's petition was true, 1t was not
sufficient to make a case.
Judge Hazen sustained the demurrer
and the case goes out of court.

SENT IN RIOT ALARM.
An Angry Chicago Mob Gets After q
Private Watchman.

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-Prompt action by
the police prevented Thos. Sorenson,
private watchman, from being lynched
by an angry mob yesterday, and tbs
presence of the officers nearly precipi-
tated bloody riot
During the afternoon 4 base ball game
was in progress back of a coal yard,
which Sorenson was watching. Little
boys climbed up on one of the sheds to
watch the game. and when SorensOn or
dered them down they refused to obey.
He thereupon threw a large chunk of
coal at the boys and struck Patrick
Holmes on the head, knocking him to
the ground.
The crowd thought the boy had been
killed and the bail field was quickly de-
serted, the enraged players chasing the
watchman inside the. coal yard. Two
police officers arrived and attempted to
keep the crowd back by hourishing their
revolvers, but this had no effect SorensOn
and the two policemen were chased into
the private Office and from there the
policemen managed TO send in a riot
alarm. Being but short distance from
a police station wagon load of officers
speedily arrived and put the crowd to
flight. Sorenson was escorted home by
the policemen
