Great Iceberes.

Icebergs in the North Atlantic this
have been exceptionally nunec-
Gus, especially near the southeastern
extremity Of Newfoundland. Incoming
vessels at st. Johns, N. H., report pass
ing icebergs continuously. One field Of
ice passed was four miles wide and u
miles long. and as many as 125 ice
bergs We're sighted at one time from one
point. Several very lofty masses Of ice
are also reported, n being 600 feet
high and more than 400 feet long. while
another enormous mass, though small
er, was 400 feet high and 600 feet long.
1cebergs of more than 1000 feet above
the sea surface have not infrcquently
been reported in the southern ocean,
1900 feet being the greatest height re-
corded. but a berg 600 feet high in the
North Atlantic is exceptional. When
it is remembered that icebergs are SUBJ
merged ~six-sevenths of their height one
600 feet high above the water surface
represents a mass almost a mile high.

very fitting sentiment for the occasion.

MURDER WILL, OUT.

Was Speedily Captured.
"He Just stood there and gazed va
cantly ut me while I rnved and threat
ened. I ordered him of half a dozen
times and then I struck him with a
club. IL didn't mean to hit so hard,
but the blow caught him on the head
and he vas dead before l knew it."
Two fairly we'll dressed men. mufflcd
up to keep out the driving rain, occu.
pied a seat in a grip car in Chicago New
Years night. The larger man, he of the
deep voice and evident agitation, was
pouring out his worries to his compan-
ion. and the brief story al borne to
the ear of the grlpman. To that
worthy's mind there came the vision of
a life ended by violence on the Eve of
the new year, and beside him, making
rapid strides toward escape and free
dom, sat the man whose hand had
struck the fell blow.
1.-THE thing haunts me-" continued the
confessor. II got blood all over my
hands, and 1t Just wouldn't wash off. I
would rather face q cyclone than so
into that room again-and then when
it's found out-oh, it'll be hot for me-"
That was the last link. The gripman
carefully noted every article of clothing
worn by the supposed murderer, and
Eel decided that he could identify the
stray wisp Of hair that was sticking
over the upturned ulster collar. AT
Paulina street the cable train made its
usual halt and the gripman hastily
scratched of a note and handed it to
a passenger who was transferring
north on the cross street. with n request
that it be delivered at Lake street sta.
ton.
A few minutes later Police Sergeant
George Martin was deciphering the fol.
lowing message:
"a murdrur is on the Madison Street
carr that gets to Halsted Street at
1915. he is sitting on the Gripp."
Word was hastily sent to Desplaines
street station and at the appointed time
half a dozen policemen in charge of a
sergeant were on the spot. The cable
train pulled up, the bluecoats climbed
Il all sides OF the car and the man Il.

poet with a nod of his head. In a

Tossing and his listener were bundled
into a wagon and carried to the station.
For half an hour an effort was mnls
to get trace Of a murder and then IN
despair the police decided to pump"
the suspect.
He was quite Indignant and pro-
nounced in his declarations that he had
murdered no one. Then suddenly there
came light aud he said with q broad
grin:
II killed my wife's pet poodle to-
night without intending to. My WIFE
wasn't home, but I hardly thought sko
would charge me with murder when

and an excellent diplomat. For four
years he was President Lincoln's secre-
tary. except for the time he spent in the
army. which. although it was short, was
sufficient for him to become IL major and
a brevet colonel. He was secretary of lp-
CATION ut Paris and at Madrid and later
was charge d'affaires at Vienna. He is
erudite. suave, polite and skilled in the
understanding of even small things-qual-
that go far toward making UP the

KEY TO THE KLONDIKE.
C. S. Fee Says There Is Much De
nand for the Publication.

The general passenger department of the
Northern Pacific reports continued increase
in the number of applications for the map
folder regarding mining in Alaska and the
KIondike General Passenger Agent Fee
estimates, after careful investigation, that
in addition to the more than 300 letters per
day that are being received at his office
asking for the key to the Klondike, that
the general and district passenger agents Of
the Northern Pacific in the East are each
receiving from 90 to leo letters per day ask
ing for the same publication SO that l, 200 re-
quests per day by letter to agents of the
Northern Pacific at st. Paul and in the East
is a conservative estimate, and goes to show
the great interest regarding the hlondtke
region. -
In connection with the completion Of the
tramway over the Chilkoot pass Mr.. Fee in
quired a few days ago if the line would
be in operation, as previously ANNOUNCED ICED
ling. of the Northern Pacific at Tacoma,
teIegraphed Mr.. Fee Dec. II, as follows:
your wire of the 10th, Wallace and w. G.
Pearce state that both the railroad and
aerial tramway will be ready for operation
by Jan. To- positively"
Mr.. Fee adds: Since intending prospectors
have discovered that the Chilkoot rail and
tramway will likely be completed before
Feb. / they are not bothering their heads
much about experimental routes as they
know by the 1st of February or not later
than the 18th the snow and ice afford good
travelling with snow shoes and sledges up as
late as the 10th of May, when the Upper
Yukon breaks, when transportation, instead
of being over snow and ice, must be by boats
or RATS.

OREGON sENATORSHIP.
Governors AppOintee VIII Attempt
to Secure Sent.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The Ore
gon case is attracting considerable at
tention here and it will attract more
attention as the days go by. Inasmuch
as there will be no caucus of Republi
can senator's until after the Christmas
holidays, nothing will be done with the
oregon case until that time.
Ex-senator Corbett, Of Oregon, is
here, holding a commission from the
governor of Oregon, and asking adnis-
sion to the United States senate. No
report has been made by the committee
on privileges and elections; and no re-
port is likely to be made for some time
to come. When the committee is pre-
pared to report, it is believed that an
investigation will be made of charges
which are made by passing people, con-
corning the existence of lobby in be-
half of COrbett; charges made usually
by irresponsible people, many Of whom
do not know the claimant to seat in
the senate nor have any actual knowl-
edge of his manner and methods.
Somehow, or by some means, the
Oregon legislature was last winter in
duced to filibuster and finally adjourn,
without completing its organization,
and without electing a senator to sue
coed John H. Mitchell, whose term eX-
PRED on March 4, 1897. The news
papers of that state were hlled with
column after column, charging corrup-
ton in various ways; some of the
papers entering into particulars and
details .=..---. .. --,-.
Immediately after adjournment, the
governor appointed Mr.. Corbett, and he
came to Washington to take his seat.
But the matter was referred to the
committee on privileges and elections
and there it hangs in allegiance.
Some time in the seventies, a man
named Caldwell was elected to the sem
ate by the Kansas legislature, and as
sumed his seat without opposition.
Afterwards it was charged that Cald-
we'll had paid his chief competitor a
round sum to withdraw from the con-
test, and he had done so. 1t was not
shown that Caldwell had paid any
money to members of the legislature to
vote for him; but the charge that he
had bought off his competitor was
deemed sufficient Evidence of fraud,
and Senator Oliver P. Morton. of In
diana, introduced a resolution reciting
that Caldwell was not entitled to his
seat. Pending consideration of that
resolution, Caldwell resigned.
