ATTACK ON GROVER CLEVELAND
For Alleged Objectionable Remarks
Made at the Presbyterian
Convention.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-For a long
time this afternoon it looked as though
the Cuban question would be finally dis
posed of in the senate by an agreement
to the conference report accepting the
house resolutions. AT the conclusion Of
Mitchell's elaborate argument on the
Dupont case Sherman presented the re-
port of the conferees and asked for i'm
mediate action, Representatives Hit
and Adams, two Of the house conferees,
were present, ae it was expected that the
report would be adopted. But as it was
then 3 o'clock not more than dozen
senators we're in the chamber, and Hale
of Maine suggested that it was undeeir-
able to crowd through a resolution of
this magnitude at late hour and with
an empty senate. This brought on con-
siderable sharp debate, but resulted in
the matter goiEg over till Monday.
Among the bills passed was one es-
tablishing additional land offices in Mon
tana.

Express Prohibition in the

MILWAUKEE, March 3.-The biggest
s6rSation that has yet developed in the
Northern Pacific receivership matter
wss precipitated today by the filing of
pleas by the Wisconsin Central com
pany and Wisconsin Central Railroad
colnpany to the original, amended and
supplemental bills of the Farmers Loan
and Trust company, on which the re-
ceivership is based.
The companies make the claim that
the Northern Pacific had absolutely
no authority whatevea to issue any of
the numerous mortgages with which
the road is encountered and that in
consequence all the bonds issued under
mortgages, to the amount of nearly $50,
100000 are null and void.
IT Is claimed that the Northern Pacific
was prohibited by congress from making
or executing mortgages on its properties
unless by the express consent of CON
gress. This, it is claimed, the company
has never secured, except in one in
stance, and in that the lien created
was long since satisfied.

ton of the Farmers Loan and Trust
company for the removal of Andrew f.

that Bureigh would continue to act as

He will continue to receive $l5, 600 year.

necessary to protect creditors and other

that none OF our citizens have possessed
that particular style of patriotism which
would enable them to save by thrift and

their income amounts to, and it is also
true that the patriotism of these corrupt

wisdom and virtue which enables those
who claim to occupy it, to justify the

Judge Giibert's Order.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The supreme
court justices who participated in the
order recognizing the circuit court Of
the eastern district of Wisconsin as the
court of primary jurisdiction in the
Northern Pacific recevership today de-
clined to discuse the refusal of Judge
Gilbert to recognize the order in his
jurisdiction. There is no doubt, how
ever, on the part Of those familiar with
the proceedings that the Justices con
sidered the order as explicit and intended
that it should effect consolidation Of
the Northern Pacific recelvership in Big
Glow aud McHenry, who were appointed
by the Milwaukee court. II is pre-
sumed here that the matter will now be
appealed to the circuit court Of appeals.

Straw Bail and Straw Men.

The origin Of the familiar phrases
"straw bail'' and ga man of straw" is
a most curious one. 1t dates back 1000
years, when the practice Of entering
worthless bail was common. The exact
methods, however, have not been trans
mitted to posterity; but in several old
English works is to be found reference
to them. In one Of these-Fielding' 8
life of Jonathan Wild" the thief
catcher-we read that Jonathan's aunt
married a man "who was famous for SO
friendly disposition that he was bail
for above 100 persons in one year. He
had also the remarkable honor Of walk
ing in Westminster hall with straw
in his shoe. !"
It seems that at one time when Eng
hsh lawyers wished to procure witnesses
with elastic consciences, or men who
would go bail for their clients, they
went into Westminster hall, into which
the principal courts of law opened, and
there would quickly recognize the men
they wanted by glancing at their shoes,
from which protruded a straw Or two,
thus indicating their calling. Because
of this trademark, so to speak, these
professional witnesses or bailgoers be-
came known as linen of straw" or ones
who were willing for consideration to
enter s'straw ball.
