Tupper, read from Hansan the opinion
of the late Hon. A.W. Mcclellan, regard

in the arohiyes of the government regard
ing Sir Richard Cartwright's grandfath-

grandfather and some others were orsiered
to leave tbs State of New York, because
they were neutral and equivocal, and sid
ing with the British against the state
authorities Cartwright, -he said, did
not belong to that class of the United
States loyalists who left the United States
of their own accord, therefore, the
grandson was something of the same
kind.
Sir Richard Cartwright replying, said:
"My grandfather in 177S was attached
to Buffers corps and did some very
effective work for which he was no doubt
suspected. In 1859, my grandfather was
a member of the legislative assembly of

End the Senatorial Deadlock.

Annapolis, Md, January 1.-THE Re-
publicans Of the Maryl land general as
sembly are becoming restive. and some
are ready to break the ranks and put an
end to the senatorial deadlock. Today's

and Goldsborough three. Senator Dryden
withdrew from the contest, and announced
his preference as being Mr.. Goldsborough
1t is understood that because of his with

THE LONDON VIEW OF 1T.
The Flying Squadron May Go to the West
Indies if not to Bermuda.

London, January 17.-Though the ID
miralty refuses to confirm or deny uhe
statement that the new flying squadron
destined for Bermuda, 1t can be stated
on the authority Of officers attached to
the squadron, that they believed if they
do not go to Bermuda they will go to
some point in the West Indies. They do
not know the nature of the service they
are going on. In view of the dispute
with Vene zuela, the fact of the despatch
inglof the squadron to the West Indies
causes some anxiety.

Washington. January 17.--The selec-

DROP INGALLS,.
Ex-senator John J. Ingalls,
Name is Erased
From the Rolls of the Loyal
Legion
BECAUSE HE DEMANDS
HE DEMANDS
That He Be Elevated to a First
Class Membership.
Ex-senator ingalls, Was Dropped
by Unanimous Vote.

LEAvENwoRTH, Jan. 6.-The Evening
Standard prints the following: Ex-
United States Senator John J. Ingalls,, of
Atchison, has been dropped from the roll
of membership of the military order of
the Loyal Legion of Kansas at its
monthly meeting held in this city last
Thursday. Efforts were made to keep
the matter secret, but it leaked out to-
day through a member who attended the
meeting. Mr.. Ingalls, was admitted fifteen
years ago as a member of the third class.
Only commissioned officers who were
in volunteer service during the rebellion
are entitled to first class mem bership, to
which Mr. Ingalls, was Ineligible. Mr..
ingalls, recently, it is said, wrote the
secretary of the Loyal Legion that he de-
sired to be elevated TO membership
of the first class. Colonel ]. II.
Gilpatrick,. commander, wrote to the
ex-senator explaining that it
would be impossible for the order
to change the class of his membership.
Mr.. Ingalls, replied, it is alleged, that he
desired mbership of the first class or
none. The CORES pondence was laid be-
fore the meeting Thursday night and
discussed The vote as to whether ex-
Senator Ingalls, should be dropI ed was
carried unanimously.

dollars be annually allowed to each of
these courts for the purchase oflaw
books and law publications. The money
ia to be taken from the fines and forfeit
ures received by those courts.
As it is, no books are furnished to the
judges of these courts except the reports
of the United States supreme court The
judges frequently need other books and
are under the necessity of going to the
state Libraries. or even sometimes to the
private libraries of lawyers interested in
the case
This is humiiiating to the judge, but
since the United States does not provide
him with any books he is under the nee
essity of doing it. The small amount
called for in the bill will enable each
court in short time to build up a suffi-
cient library and judges will not be un-
der the necessity of going begging for
the authorities which the duties of their
positions require.
Senator Baker thinks it will be better
to have the money taken out of the fines
of the courts than to make direct ap-
preparation out of thetreasury. The bill
will be appreciated by all U. s. judges
and all lawyers, who will see the bene-
fit of it.

FIXER HEPBURN.
Did He Fix Anything for Allison
While Here2
The Journals" Washington
Correspondent Asks Him
BUT HEPBURN is SLY.
Many Kansas Men Are for
Allison" Says He,
But He Is Quite Unable to
Specify.

From the State Journals Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Representative
W. P. Hepburn, of Iowa, who made
visit to Kansas City and Topeka some
days ago, is very reticent about the OBJ
anything, had been done by him then to
further the Allison boom of which he is
one of the main promoters, but he would
not reveal what had been accomplished
in behalf of the Iowa statesman:
How did you find the sentiment on
the presidential question out there?"
Mr. Hepburn was asked.
"The newspapers say that it is for Mr..
Mckinley" he said. with an expression
in his eyes as if he believed the news
papers did not know what they were
talking about II think, for my own
part, that there is no very large part of
the country anywhere which is solid for
any one candidate. In Kansas, from
what little l was able to observe, the
major portion of the people were for
Mckinley, with very strong sentiment
against him. There are many old Iowa
people in Kansas and these are very
earnest in their support of Mr.. Allison.
MANY of the men who are prominent
in the party, and especially some who are
e
ernment seem to be very active in the
support of Mckinley, but l think they
are more anxious TO see Republican sue
cess than that of one man.
"Most of those with whom you met in
Kansas City were anti-Leland men, were
they not?"
mo, there were many of Mr.. Leland's
friends among those whom l met there,
but l did not go there to confer with any
one. was there to see my brother who
lives in Kansas City and accidently
met these men,"
But you went on to Topeka?'
Yes. was in Topeka short time,
bat did not have time to see many peo-
ple"
"Whom did you sac in Topeka?"
''Oh. don't know that that would give
the public any great happiness to
know"
Mr.. Hepburn was assured that it
would make the public happy to the ex
tent of satisfying their curiosity"
well, when l get ready to tell you
that l will send for you"
Mr. Hepburn was questioned as to the
names of some of the most prominent
mon in Kansas who are for Allison.
Really" he said, 81 am not well
enough acquainted with the affairs of
Kansas to say how prominent they are
SO l could not say"
81 am pretty familiar with Kansas
names" said the correspondent, $50 if
you will name them l will be my own
Judge as to their prominence / will
take the risk"
Mr. Hepburn said that was such deli
cate political question he would prefer
to let the men themselves make their
own views public. And SO he would
state nothing further than that Allison
had host of warm friends in the state.

OFFERS GOLD FOR SILVER.
Open Letter From "a Gold Mine Owner to
President Cleveland.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6-The World
today says: Stephan H. Emmons,
who is president of a gold min
ing company at No. Broadway, has sent
an open letter to President Cleveland
offering a unique plan for maintaining
the gold reserve. He said in part:
"If the secretary of the treasury will
put himself in communication with
the owners of gold mines throug b.
out the country he can
cause the entire gold production of the
United States to be placed at the disposal
of the government in exchange for sill
yer coin. So far, at any rate, as the
mines which L personally possess
or direct are concerned,
l am willing to undertake
that through the output gold very con-
siderable amount-shall thus be dealt
with; and there cannot be any doubt of
every American gold mining corporation
being ready to do the same.
"The assistance thus Obtainable by the
government will not involve any bond
issue, and will not saddle the nation with
any interest charge or syndicate remun-
Grafton.
sit will add to the volume of home cur
rency at the same time that it will equal
ly increase the amount of intern atIonal
currency in the treasury"
