STATE TREAsUREn's REPORT
May BE Publ,.hed in Paper Prin,

May BE Published I'm a Paper Print
ed In q Foreign Language.
st. Paul, Dec. 5.-Attorney General
Chtlds has written the following opin-
ion for State Treasurer Koerner, de-
fining his duty in connection with the
publishing in the daily and weekly
newspapers his annual report:
calling attention to the provisions
Of article 8, section IL of the constitu-
tion Of this state, and to General Laws
Of 1885,. chapter 121, you inquire
whether 1t will be proper for you to
publish your official report in any
other than paper printed in the Eng
lish language. 1t is my opinion that
a liberal construction Of the law should
obtain in the matter of the publication
of such report. The purpose, as
evinced by the provisions of the con-
stftutiOn above noted, is to inform the
people of the state generally as to its
financial affairs. While you should
cause the report to be printed in at
least one paper which fully complies
with the requirements of the law In
defining legal newspaper, 1t will be
proper for you, If deemed advisable,
to employ for such purpose the COL
umns of any other paper. although
printed In a foreign language.

NOMINATIONS SENT IN.
Rufus w. Peckham for Associ
Justice of the Sunreme l;ourt

Rufus w. Peckham for Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court.
Washington, Dec. 5.-The president
today nominated Rufus w. Peckham
of New York to be associate justice of
the United States supreme court, to
succeed the late Howell E. jackson of
Tennessee. He also nominated Rich
ard Olney to he secretary of state and
Judson Harmon at attorney general.
Rufus Peckham is resident Of Al
bany and Judge of the court of ap-
peals of New York. His name has
been mentioned frequently for the Of
flee for which he was nominated to-
day. 1t is believed his nomination will
be satisfactory to Senator Hill, whose
opposition was successful in prevent
ing the confirmation of Messrs. Horn
blower and Wheeler, the two New
Workers whose names were sent in by
president Cleveland for the supreme
court justiceship now held by Justice
White of Louisiana. Senator Hill on
several occasions has spoken very
highly Of the new nominee. The NOM
ination will go first to the senate ju-
dietary committee, which always scru-
tinizes closely the record of persons
named for the supreme court bench,
but In view Of the high reputation Of
Judge Peckham 1t is believed Judge
Peckhams cOnfirma ton will follow as
speedily as consistent with the i'm
pOrtance of the office.

Constantinople, Dec. Sit Is report
ed here to-day that after the meeting
Of the ambassadors Sir Philip Currie,
the British ambassador, notified the
Turkish government that II the
flrmans asked for were not granted by
Saturday next q British gunbOat would
be sent through the Straits of the Dar-
danelles, without the sultan's permis-
sion to act as an extra guardship In
the BOspOrus, for the protection of the
British embassy. Efforts to obtain
confirmation or denial of the report
have proved futile.
The most complete absence Of news
from the provinces renders 1t difficult
to form an estimate OF the situation
as to the condition Of Asiatic Turkey,
the extent to which reform is being
pushed, and the degree to which riot
Ing has been suppressed. OF course
all excuse for Intervention would be
done away with, to all intents and
purposes, IL, as the almost complete
silence would indicate, order has been
practically restored.
The work of Strengthening the fOrti-
fications Of the Dardenelles continues
day and night. The soldiers are busi-
ly at work throwing up fresh defenses
and the most busy scenes are wit
messed from the entrance of the Oar
danelles to the other side of Gallipoli.
In addition the Bosporus entrance of
the Sea of MarmOra is being placed In
condition for defense. Many tOrpedOes
have been sunk

Letters received show most fiendish
work In the vicinity of Sivas and Har-
poot. Survivors were offered Islam
or the sword. Great pressure was
brought to bear on them. Remittances
to the interior are now feasible. Re-
lief work has been begun in many
centers. Winter is at hand. Hurry
remittances."

Done by Another.
Danville, Ind, Dec. 5.-There were
sensational developments here last
night in the case Of Rev. William
Hinshaw, who was recently convicted
Of the murder of his wife and Is now
serving life sentence in prison. He
stOutly protested his innocence and
maintained that his wife was killed
by robbers who came to their house
and left in buggy. At the trial evil
dence failed to bear Hinshaw out and
the jury found him guilty. Now comes
Lewis Asher, neighbor of Hinshaw,
and states that on the night of the
murder, while out hunting his horses,
he saw two men drive toward the Hin
shaw home. Later he heard pistol
shots and cries for help. He was
frightened and returned home and was
passed by the two men. He claims to
know who killed Mrs. Hinshaw, but
refuses to tell, as his life, he says,
would be in danger. Asher has been
placed in Jail and will be examined by
the grand jury. Asher is man of
good reputation.

Republican Leaders Desire to Make
a Record.

Republican Leaders Desire to Make
a Record.
Washington, Dec. Sit is said to-
day on what is apparently good au-
thority that Congressman Hooker of
New York will be made chairman Of
the committee OH rivers and harbors.
Mr.. Hooker is ranked on the commit
tee by two Republicans-Herman Of
Oregon and Grosvenor Of Ohio. The
latter Is said to have waived all ques-
tion Of precedence in favor of Hooker,
and Herman is thought to be out of it.
He represents the Pacific Northwest,
which wants something tremendous
from this congress in the way of rivers
and harbors appropriations. The Re-
publican leaders propose to make
something of a record for economy
during the Fifty-fourth congress, and
1t is thought that that object might
be jeopardized in so far as rivers and
harbors appropriations are concerned
with Mr.. Herman at the head of the
committee which will frame the bill.
Mr.. Hooker, on the other hand, repre-
sents a section which wants practical
ly nothing in this particular, and his
chances are regarded as bright.
