GAMBLE CONFIDENT OF VICTORY.

Congressman Robert J. Gamble. of
South Dakota, writes to the congress
sional committee that republican liter
ature has been productive of great good
in the canvass, and that the interest
has been so intense on the money ques.
tion that everything OF value has been
eagerly sought for and read with the
greatest interest by the peonle. He
writes:
1--WE have every confidence of sue
ceeding with the entire ticket and be-
lieve we are safe in claiming the state
for Mckinley, u state ticket and also
the legislature. The republicans of
the state are enthusiastic, are full OF
courage and have been u%nceasing in
their efforts in every locality in the
state. Thinking you might ARE to
hear as to the situation, tits with great
pleasure that l write you thus en-
coucagingly. CAREFUL polls have been
taken through the state committee in
questionable localities and they have
uniformly shown an increased vote for
the republicans over the vote of 1894.
We feel safe for a majority as strong
as two years ago and in my bost judg-
ment it will be larger"

THE SHERMAN STATUE.
General Committee Today Inspecting
Points Presented for a Site.

IOlntS freSentcO IOf u Site.
The general committee having charge of
the erection of an equestrian monument to
Gen. Sherman will hold meeting at the
War Department tomorrow for the purpose
of considering the report of the committee
appointed to select design for the monu-
ment from among the twenty-three models
submitted in competition. The committee
will also determine which four of the de-
signs are entitled to the individual awards
of $1,000.
The members of the general committee are
engaged today in inspecting the various
points about the city suggested as sites for
the Sherman monument. The environments
of the site selected will have considerable
weight in the selection of the design for the
structure. The site which Is said to find
the most favor with the committee is at the
southwest corner of Lafayette Square at
the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and
jackson Place. Other sites under considera-
ton are Franklin Square. the north front of
the War Department building and the head
of Sherman avenue at its junction with
Whitney avenue near the Soldiers Home
There Is a disposition to reserve Franklin
Square for a monument to Franklin, the
great civilian patriot.
The selection of the Sherman site deyolyes
upon a committee consisting of Secretary
Lamont, Maj. Gen. Miles and a committee
Of the Society Of the Army of the Tennessee
of which Gen. G. M. Dodge is chairman
The models now on exhibition on the top
floor of the War Department will be re-
moved within ten days after the awards
are announced.

DIED AT THE WORkHOUSE.
One Of the Army Of Tramps Passes
Away.


Some time last night or this morning one
of the many tramps in the workhouse died
suddenly under circumstances which may
require a coroners investigation. Just
what time the man died could not be
learned at the workhouse today, but the
mans body was in the dead house when a
Star reporter called, and the officials gave
the Information that he had died some
time after II o'clock. 1t is thought that
the victims real name is Daniel McGinn,
although he has served time under the
names of Robertson and Thompson.
Yesterday afternoon he was received at
the workhouse on thirty-days vagrancy
commitment under the name Daniel Rob-
ertson. He was a sick man, but the
keeper says he made no special complaint
or request other than to take a regulation
desc of bromide. such as is given prisoners,
especially when they show signs of having
been drinking.
McGinn. alias Robertson, alias Thomp-
son, was put through the regular prison
treatment preparatory to being sent to
his room, and the bath, it is thought, af-
fected him for the worse.
There was a rumor current that he had
taken a desc of poison before he reached
the workhouse. but if this is true no one
was found who would say they had seen
him take the deadly drug.
Some of the prisoners who claimed to
know him said he had been an alcohol
drlnker, and they thought that the fiery
| fluid had eaten away some vital organ
and caused his death.
1t was about o'clock when he reached
his cell.
Later in the evening he became sick
and was removed to the hospital, where
he died.
The dead man was not stranger on
the farm. He had been there a number
of times during the past four years, al
ways in the winter, for. it is said, he went
north in summer. The unfortunate man,
although presenting the appearance of a
full-fledged tramp and having the appear
ance of a victim of alcohol, was well edu-
Gated and was a fine penman. He was
forty-two years old and native of Ireland,
where he had served in the eighteenth
Royal Irish Infantry

CARDINAL SATOLLrs PLANS,
A Story That He Has Been Recalled
Denied Today.

Dr. Rocker, Cardinal Satollis secretary,
today denied absolutely the story which
appeared in a New York paper this morn
ing, to the effect that the papal pro-dele-
gate had been recalled and was likely to
leave at any time for Rome. .t.
"Why, CARDINAL Satolli is even now MAX
ing his preparations for a trip to New Or
leans" said DR.. Rocker. He will be pres
ent at the opening of the winter school,
which has been fixed for about the same
time as the commencement Of the Mardi
Gras. He will be present for carnival week.
He will go to New Orleans by way of At
lanta and return by way of st. Louis and
Cincinnati. l doubt If he is back much be-
fore the 1st of March.
Even if consistory should be held in
March my own opinion is that the cardinal
will not be summoned to it. 1t Is far more
likely that he will RETURN for the June
consistory. 1t is customary for a man to
go to Rome within year of the time he is
raised to the cardinalate, but this is mat
ter of etiquette rather than law Now that
his work is practically completed in this
country 1 am sure he will leave with con-
siderable regret. Just the other day he
said to me that he would like it If, when
his successor is appointed, he were given
six months leave, so that he might travel
through the United States and see the
country more thoroughly than he has been
able to do. He has greatly enjoyed his
stay of more than three years on this side
at Rome and professor in the propaganda
he had a strong prediction for Americans.
He counted his American students, with
whom he came in close contact, among
the brightest of his students. and he al
ways had warm place in his heart for
them. So he came with his mind open to
favorable impressions, and he was not dis
appointed. Quite the contrary.
THE story that the cardinal will address
a farewell message to the Catholics of the
United States is as foolish as the other.
Were he entertained at banquet or any
other public function prior to his depart
ure he might take occasion to say some
thing of the results and impressions of his
stay in this country, but to issue such
letter as is referred to would be quite out
of his bailiwick. We have not received the
slightest intimation as to who Cardinal
Satollis successor will be, and it would be
useless to hazard any guesses, though
think it pretty safe to say he will be an
Italian"
DR.. Rockers own position is unchanged
by the elevation and future recall of
Cardinal Satolli. He received his appoint
lnent frcm the pope himself. and will con-
tinue as the secretary of the papal dele
cation so long as it may please the powers
at Rome.

ORGANIZING A REVOLT.
A Few Republicans Restiye Under
Speaker Reeds Policy.

n rev hepuDlfeanS Hest1ye UnUer
Speaker Reeds Policy.
A determined effort is being made to
organize a revolt against Speaker Reed
among republicans in the House. 1t is a
small band. said to be about forty repub-
licans, who want to start an organized
movement in opposition to the Reed policy
of inaction. Several conferences have been
held and strong talk has been indulged in,
but nothing has yet come of it.
The theory of it is that a do-nothing
policy is simply in the interest of Mr.
Reeds presidential candidacy, and not in
the interest of the party. 1t is urged
therefore. that the friends of other can
iiidates should not acquiesce in this policy,
but should take steps to compel the
Speaker to take a position on vital ques-
tions. The tariff question. 1t is insisted by
these anti-Reed men, should be forced to
the front and action on general bill in
sisted on Consideration of some general
financial measure, they say. should be in
sisted on. They want also to have the
Pacific railroad and the Nicaragua canal
questions acted en-. In other words. they
want to present policy of activity in
antagonsm TO Mr.. Reeds policy and to
compel a record to be made.
They do not hope to be able to overrue
the Speaker, but they want to make the
fight for the purpose of putting him in the
attitude of opposing republican measures
IL he does not permit their consideration.
Thus far they have not been able to
secure leader of the revolt whom all the
malcontents will follow; nor have they yet
agreed upon a program of business satis-
factory to all.
