FRED DOUGLASS FUNERAL.
The Body Of the COlored Orator in State

The Body OF the Colored Orator in State
The Services-Mrs. Stanton's Tribute.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The body of
the late Frederick Douglass was taken
early this morning to the Metropoli-
tian African Methodist Episcopal
church, there to lie in state until the
funeral services.
As soon an the casket had been
put in place before the altar, the
doors we're thrown open and the peo-
pie were admitted to pay their last
respects. A great crowd passed in
and out While coIored people pre-
dominated among the waiting multi
tude, there were hundreds of white
people. The funeral sermon was de-
livered by the Rev. DIR. j. II. Jenifer
of the Metropolitan church.
A letter from Elizabeth Cady Stan
ton was then read which, after re-
viewing her first meeting with
Douglass, closed as follows: LAS an
orator, writer and editor, Douglass
holds an honored place among the
gifted men of his day. As man of
business and public officer, he has
been pre- eminentlv successful; honest
and upright in all his dealings, he
bears an enviable reputation. As
husband, father, neig hbor and friend,
ia all social relations he has been
faithful and steadfast to the end. He
was the only man l ever knew who
understood the degradation of dis
reimbursement for women. Through
all the long years of our struggle he
has been familiar figure on our
platform, with always an assuring
word to say. In the very first con-
vention he helped me to carry the
resolution l had penned, demanding
woman suffrage. Frederick Douglass
is not dead. His grand character
will long be an object lesson in our
national history; his lofty sentiments
Of liberty, justice and equality echoed
on every platform over our broad
land must influence and inspire many
coming generations"

NEW TERRITORY COURTS.
Provisions of the Measure Virtually
Agreed Upon BY the COnferrees

1
Agreed Upon by the Conferrees.
WASHINGTON, Feb 26.-The confer
ence committee on the bill to reorga-
nize the Indian territory judicial sys-
tenn has so far agreed upon measure
that twenty copies of the perfected
text have been struck off. 1t is
claimed that the conferrees have
adopted the Morgan bill intact with
some few changes. The court towns of
the Northern district are Vinita,
Miami Tahlequah and Muscogee,
Miami taking Claremore's place; of
the Central districts South McAlester,
Atoka, Antlers and Cameron; of the
Southern district Ardmore, Purcell,
PauPs Valley, Ryan and Chickasha.
Duncan has thus far lost its fight,
but in the coming conference will
make final struggle for Ryan's
place. The judges are to serve four
years instead of six Besides the sal
airy of $1,000 each judge will be al
lowed his necessary expenses when
holding court away from home. The
president is authorized to make APP
pointments during the recess Of the
senate, granting commissions to ex-
pire at the end of the next session. The
marshais and district attorneys are to
have salaries of $4,000 each instead of
$1,000. The attorney general may at
his discretion appoint an assistant at
torney general for each district The
clerk Of the present United States
court will be clerk of the Southern
district and the clerk of the other
districts are to be appointed by the
judges. Deputy clerks in each dis
trict are to receive 81, 200 year and
the clerks salary is to be 81, 400;
clerks are authorized to retain fees
for all duties other than those per-
formed by the clerks of the United
States courts elsewhere. All laws in
force in the Indian territory in con-
fict with the act are repealed. The
courts are to have exclusive original
jurisdiction over all offenses, the
courts at Fort Smith and Paris, Texas,
however, retaining their present
jurisdiction until September l,
1896. The clause diminishing the
jurisdiction of Indiana tribal courts
is stricken out. 1t provided that a
case pending in an Indian court
should be transferable to the United
States courts on motion of any party
thereto, and at the expiration of two
years wiped out the Indian tribal
courts altogether. The fear of veto
led to the striking out of this section.
In consequence, other sections predi-
Gated upon the eXtinguishment of the
Indian courts at the end of two years
are also omitted.

gagged three German, three English
and three French divers to at
tempt to recover the mails from the

or three mail bags from here have
been washed ashore on the coast. The
estimated value of the mails is $780,
900. In addition to the regular wages
that the divers will be paid, the com.
pany has allotted the sum of $500.

SALEM, Ore, Feb. 26.-The struggle
for the election of a successor to J. N.
Dolph in the United States senate,
which has been carried on in the leg
islature for thirty-three days, came
to a close at 11:45 Saturday night by
the election of George W Mcbride,
eX-secretary of state.
The contest has been a bitter one
from beginning to end, and up to
thirty minutes before the hour set
for final adjournment, it looked as
though it would be deadlock.
The contest has been a remarkable
one in many respects. One month
before the legislature met it was con-
sidered certainty that Senator
Dolph would have no opposition for
reelection, but from that time until
the legislature met the free silver
men began campaign to defeat him.
They had no particular candidate,
but simply were opposed to Dolph on
account of his views on the money
question. On the second day of the
session the Republicans went into
caucus, when DOlph received the
unanimous nomination. The vote
in separate sessions was taken one
week from the time of the eau
Gus, but twenty-four members of
the house who had voted for
him in caucus refused to do so in sep
arate session. He received a majority
in the senate, but lacked one in the
house, his total vote, however, in the
two houses footing up As, majority
of two. The next day in joint session
four more votes left him, which pre-
vented his election by one vote. He
continued to drop off from day to day
until his support got down to 80.
The opposition stood firm, and it be-
came evident several days ago that
Dolph could not be elected, though
his supporters agreed to stand by him
to the last. Rather than to cause a
deadlock however, they yielded at
the last moment and brought forward
Mcbride, upon whom all factions
could unite, and he was chosen on
the siXtieth ballot, receiving the full
Republican vote.

WOODRUFF is GUILTY,
So Says the Jury and Fixes His Punish
ment at One Year in Prison.

90 says the Jury anu tIXeS His Punish
ment at One Year in Prison.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Feb. 2G.-After
celebrating two hours and a half
the jury in the case of Elk State Treas
urer Woodruff, at Perryville, returned
a verdict of guilty and fixing the
punishment at one years imprison-
ment This is the fourth trial
of the famous case, and has
cost the state nearly $4,000. He
was tried in 1891 on the charge of en-
bezzlment, the jury failing to reach
verdict. He was next tried in 1892
on the same charge and the trial
again resulted in hung jury, stand
ing ten to two for conviction. In 1898
he was tried on the charge of misap-
propTiating state funds and acquitted.
The present specific charge was false
pretenSes in obtaining the signatures
of the state debt board to an
order to sell certain scrip to one
Johnson L. Jones. Woodruff's bonds
men have paid into the state treasury
100000 on account of his defalcation.
