BELLIGERENT BISHOPS
The Alaska Dignitary Comes Into Unpleasant
NotOriety

Notoriety
MILWAUKEE, Feb. lS.--The fight over
the conservation of G. Mott Williams,
American bishop of the Marquette Episco.
pal diocese, has developed second sensa-
ton and one that has brought the Rt. Rev.
p. T. Rowe, bishop Of Alaska, into much
unpleasant notoriety.
More than this, it transpires that the
fight against Bishop-elect Williams, in
stead of being confined to the original pro-
test and having since died out, has been
Waged with almost vindctive persistency.
The bishops have been flooded with letters
from the opposition, and the confirmation
of Mr.. Williams election has been delayed
when it appeared that he was most certain
of success, the vote standing at the present
time, il is said, thirty-seven in his favor.
All that is needed is one more vote, but it
does not seem forthcoming. Thlrty-eight
votes are necessary for confirmation.
Mr.. Rowe, previous to his elevation to
the episcopacy of Alaska, was pastor of
the church at Sault Ste; Marie. Just be-
which elected Mr.. Williams, Bishop Rowe
returned from New York. where he was
consecrated, and after the fact OF the send
ing out of the protest became known. he
wrote Mr.. Williams friendly and SYM
pa hetic letter to which MIR. Williams re-
piled freely and without reserve. It is this
letter that is now causing the trouble. For
the first time Mr.. Williams appears to
have evinced any feeling with regard to the
matter and he expresses himself without
reserve relative to the gentlemen who were
behind the protest. He stated that it would
ba Just as we'll that they be kept out of
office, that it referred to diocesan offices,
and also intnating that it was his inten-
ton to see that they should be kept out.
Mr.. Williams also attacked the delegates
in rather harsh terms.
Bishop Rowe, instead of treating the let
ter confidentiaily, promptly turned it over
to the 500 delegates, with the result that it
has been printed and sent to every bishop
in the country.
The friends of Mr.. Williams are greatly
mortified by the unexpected change of
affairs.

A QUESTION OF CANDIDACY
An Interesting Communication Promised
From the President
r1r. CIey yeiand's Friend Can't Say Any nore
Now, but Talks on the Gen.
craI Situation

New YORK, Feb. 19.-The World this
morning says:
Mr.. f. c. Benedict, the broker and close
personal friend of President Cleveland,
said in All interview yesterday: Mr..
Cleveland will answer the third term ques-
ton very distinctly at a not distant day.
He will rot keep the Democrats waiting" :"
The way in which Mr.. Benedict said this
seemed to indicate that Mr.. Cleveland had
message ready for the Democracy. When
pressed for a more definite statement of
what he knew, the presidents friend said !;
| Il can't say any more just now.'
| OF the general situation Mr.. Benedict
said:
''Both parties are very much unsettled
as to sound and sensible policy. All the
issues have faded out. In this respect the
Republican are as bad off as the Demo-
Gratis. Every time there is heavy rainfall
you have a freshet and considerable
amount of debris is washed down.
The same is true in tho presi-
dental world. When political land
81 des occur, a lot of riff-raff and
worthless rubbish is brought to the front
and the country has TO suffer while these
play fantastic tricks in congress and make
even angels weep. The Democrats had
something of the kind little over two
| years ago and the Republicans last No.
| vember. Look at the set of men we have
| in this state at Albany and in congress.
| There are some good ones, but the ma
| jority are not of much account. Two
| years ago the Democrats had enough ma
jority to make two parties, just as the Re-
| publicans have at present. When this
happens they know it all and you cannot
| toll tbnr, ho
! The only safety to the country is when
there is small margin, say five or ten per
cent, for then each party is put on it's good
behavior and knows that it will be turned
down promptly if it does not do some
! thing.
"The idea of this rich and prosperous
| country going around among the nations
in the role of beggar in ragged shirt is
ridiculous. Such things will not and CAN
not continue long,

1T WAS FUN

For Everybody Except the People Who Lost
Money
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 1S,-A great crowd OF
people thronged the court of Justice Henry
today to listen to the preliminary eXamin-
alton of John p. Harmens, the tramp who
found $50, 900 stolen from the Wells-Fargo
Express company by train robbers and
squandered by him in riotous living.
Harmens was defended by ex-senator
Frank Sprague, while District Attorney
Ryan and Charles T. Jones conducted the
prosecution. WeTls-Fargo clerks were in
troduced to show that the money had been
shipped, and Jack Brady, the notorious
train robber and murderer, was placed
upon the stand to show that he and his
partner, Sam Brown. had stolen it and
buried it, lacking $1,000, which they held
out. Brady told his story in the manner
of braggart and threw in facetious re-
marks about the swagger they had as
sumed, convulsing the spectators with
laughter.
The examination will be concluded in the

sanity Theory
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 1S.-The counsel for
Ivan Kovalev. the man to be hanged Friday
at Folsom, contended from the commence
ment of his trial that kovalev was insane.
His conduct and appearance impressed
them with the belief that his mental organ.
ization was impaired to such an extent that
he was not fit subject to undergo the
ordeal of a trial.
So firm are the attorneys for Kovalev Of
the fact that kovalevis brain is affected
that they will ask for an autopsy on his
brain after the execution, as there is no
possible way to establish the truth or error
of the physicians conclusion that he is not
insane.
The attorneys for kovalev are firm in
their belief that such ali investigation will
reveal the hidden deformity of Kovalev's
brain.
