A TIE-UP.
The Great Northern Strike Has
Gone into Effect.
The PASSING OF JAMES CORDa11.


DEVILS LAKE, N. D.. Nov 6.-The
Great Northern strike weat into effect
at o'clock yesterday morning. Train
No. 10, through fast freight, arrived
in the morning and is still standing on
o side track. Three engine crews re.
sponded to the call OF the foreman. but
so far no train crews have been ne.
cured Only part Of the employees are
out The city council last night
adopted u resolution declaring that In
case ofa strike the ompanys property
and It's operation Of trains would b
protected at all hazards This was
wired to President llill In view Of
the fact that Devils Lake was the cen.
ter in the last strike this Is deemed
significant,
Since the strike was ordered no
freight trains have departed and but
one has arrived. The latter was q
limited one from the east. Passenger
trains were not interfered with.
Mayor Kelly and the city council are
determined that no such disgraceful
scenes as were enacted In the last
strike shall occur. The business men
generally are provoked and dis
gusted with the state OF affairA
The elevators are full to their
capacity with wheat, and unless cars
are furnished promptly they will not
be able to take in more grain, which
will cause complete stagnation In
business, and jobbers will quickly feel
the effects, as country merchants will
be unable to meet their obligations At
maturity. The strikers are quiet and
orderly and have made no action TO.
ward interfering with their fellow en-.
ployes. The men simply refuse to
answer the calls They seem to be do
termined

THE NEXT SENATE,
Resume Of the Legislative Elections Whei
Senators Are to he Chosen.

Resume Of the Legislative Elections Where
Senators Are to He Chosen.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6-Great interest
was manifested here In the legislative
elections throughout the country, as
they will materially affect the control
of the United States senate. Up to
yesterday the standing In the senate
was as follows; Republicans, AZ; dem
ocrats, 80; populists, @; vacant demo.
craft, /; total, 50. As the result Of
yesterdays elections the democrats
will lose and the republicans will gain
senator from Maryland, Kentucky
and Ohio respectively. The other leg
islatiye elections do not appear to
affect the standing In the senate as
Mississippi remains democratic, while
Iowa continues republican. Utah
chooses two United States senators for
the first time, but the complexion Of
the legislature Is not certain. The
Utah senators take their seats in the
senate shortly after congress assem-.
bles. The changes in Ohio and Mary
land will not affect the senate until
March, 1897
The republican majority in the next
Ohio legislature, as shown by the re.
turns from Ohio, Insures the retire
ment Of Senator Brice dem and the
succession of a republican. ltappears
to be settled that ex-Gov. Foraker will
be the choice Of the legislature, as the
state convention placed his name in
the platform as the senatorial candi-
date.
In Maryland the election Of a repub-
lican legislature, the first in many
years, will bring about the retirement
Of Senator Gibson and the election Of
republican in his place. The election
Of a republican legislature in Iowa was
not unexpected, and it is considered
settled that Senator Allison will be
elected to succeed himself
The return Of a democratic legisla-
ture in Mississippi has been q foregope
conclusion. twill elect successor to
Senator George. The returns from
New York and New Jersey indicate re-
publican gains. These legislatures
do not elect United States SEN
ators this year, but, as part of legisla.

important in influencing these bodies
which will elect successors to Senator

Court.
KEPT IN THE CRIMINAL DOCK.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 2S.-Her-
man W. Mudgett, alias H. 81. Holmes, was
arraigned at the bar of justice of the
Criminal Court of Philadelphia to-day to
defend his life against the charge of mur-
dering Benjamin F. Pitzell.
The widespread publicity given this sen.
sational case attracted a great throng OF
people to the corridors of the City Hall
leading to the courtroom, but in anticipa-
ton of the crowd of morbid people who
are attracted by the spectacle OF man
battling for his life, as are moths around
the candle, cordons of police guarded all
the entrances, and only those having busi-
ress in the courtroom were admitted.
The very opening of the trial furnished
an unusual incident in court procedure
and was in keeping with the strange
phases that have made this case unique in
the criminal records of the country.
Directly after the prisoner had been placed
in the dock and Judge Arnold had taken
his seat upon the bench, Holmes two at
torneys asked for continuance of the case.
This, however, was refused, as there had
already been more than enough of the laws
delay and Judge Arnold ordered the trial
to be proceeded with.
Then the defendants lawyers announced
that they would withdraw from the case
The Judge expressed his surprise at such
unprecedented action at the beginning of q
murder trial, and told the two attorneys
that if they withdrew they placed them
selves in jeopardy of being disbarred
Nevertheless, with the prospect of disbar-
ment before them, the two lawyers per
sisted in their refusal to conduct the case
and left the courtroom. The court there
upon appointed two others to conduct the
prisoners defense. Although accused o1
crimes that would revolt barbarous saw.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 28.-T. B.
Mangan, a middle-aged white man, who
says he halls from the State of Washing
ton, was placed in the hands of the police
this morning to inquire into his sanity.
He called this morning upon United
States Treasurer Morgan and demanded a
draft for S317 900, 900 in payment OF a claim
he had against the United States Govern
ment for 1900 tons of gold lost by the
sinking of the steamer Victoria some years
ago. He said he had communicated with
President Cleveland, and he had said his
claim should be paid. When asked if he
had seen the President he answered no,
but said he had talked with him by means
of fairy sounds known only to the two
men. Treasurer Morgan Immediately
called treasury watchman and whispered
to him that the man was a crank and then
in loud tones directed the watchman to
accompany Mr.. Mangan to the treasury
and see to it that he was given draft for
$317, 600, co., The watchman handed Man
gan over to the police.

CAPTURE OF COMSTOCK,
ARREST OF THE CALIFORNIAN WHO
STOLE THE JEWELS OF MRS.
MARTIN.
AFTER PAWNING THE DIAMONDS He
EASILY PASSED MANY WORTH
LESS CHECKS.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Oct. 2S.-Charles
NJ. Comstock, handsome. we'll dressed
California, about 26 years old, who is said
to be connected with the best families OF
San Francisco, was arrested to-day at the
Hotel Martin at the request of the Califor-
MIA authorities and is now at police head
quarters charged with stealing $65OO0 worth
of diamonds from Mrs. Caroline Cotton
Martin of Berkeley, Alameda County, in
that State. He has admitted taking the
jewels and has told what he did with them,
and the police are now waiting advices
from San Francisco to learn whether they
shall hold him for requisition.
This crime, it seems, is not the only blot
on Comsrock's career, for, after leaving
San Francisco and gam bling away the pro-
ceeds of the sale of the jewelry, he has
since been all over the country defrauding
his friends and relatives by means of
worthless checks, accepted by them from
him in good faith, and spending every
dollar he could raise at the racetracks.
The police understand that he is wanted
IN Providence, R. l., for defrauding an
aunt by means of a worthless check, and
that he has victimized other people, some
OF them in this city.
When brought before Captain oBrien at
police headquarters he at once admitted
appropriating and selling the diamonds.
The larger portion, he said, he had pawned
with a jeweler named Maconski, on
Kearny street, San Francisco, for $500, and
had afterward sold the tickets to the same
man for 500. The most valuable piece.
however, a pearl shaped diamond
set in a scartpin, purchased at Tif-
fany's in 1881 for $4,000, he
had given to a bookmaker named Beverly
at the Grand Hotel, Cincinnati, in return
for loan of $1,000. Papers found in Com
stocks possession proved his statements
to be true.
