SENATOR ALLISON DECLINES
He Cannot Accept a Cabinet Posi-
ton Under Mckinley.
Reported That Mckinley Ii Deeply
Disappointed as He Used His
Art of Persuasion Upon
the Iowa Man.

Cleveland, O., Jan. 8.-Senator VIM.
b. Allison has for the third time de-
clined the invitation of an Ohio born
president to accept a position in his cab
met. This Is the position that Presi-
dent-elect Mckinley finds himself In as
the result OF his visit to Canton and h's
conference with enator Allison yester-
day. The interview with Major McKin-
ley lasted from 1890 until lis, when the
gentlemen sat down to lunch. Senator
Allison expressed his fullest sympathy
with and good wishes for the incoming
administration and expressed his desire
to do all he could to promote its welfare.
He was decisive in the statement, how
ever, that he could not, with the new
senatorial term beginning with the ad-
ministration give up his place In the
senate for an administrative office. In
explaining his regret at not being able
to accept a portfolio, Senator Allison
a v the p~resident-elect the heartiest
assurances of his cooperation In the
senate, where he said he felt that he
could be of far more benefit both TO
Major Mckinley and the republican
party than by taking mp the intricate
and difficult task which must fall on the
shoulders OF a cabinet officer.
The decision Of Senator Allison to re-
main outside of the new administration
is undoubtedly much of a disappoint-
ment to Major Mckinley. His refusal
opens up anew the entire cabinet situa-
ton. and all the old problems and com
plications In which the Ohio situation Is
most prominent are now reopened. IL
is said that the last thing Major McKin-
ley did before leaving Canton yesterday
was to wire a request to Senator Sher-
man to come TO Ohio for consultation

ANXIOUS OVER WORY'S FATE
An Indictment Has Been Found
Against Him.

London, Jan. 11.--Intense anxiety ia
manifest in Irish circles concerning the
probable fate Of Edward j. Ivory, the
new dynamite suspect. who will be
brought to trial this week. AS the in
iictment has already been found, there
will be no preliminary delay. Although
an eminent array of counsel has been
engaged in his behalf, the net has been
so closely woven around the the unfor-
:unate man by the New York traitors
and spies of whom he Is the victim,
.hat there is not a shadow of doubt of
his conviction. Ivory is now said to be
convinced that he has beer made the
DOL of a number OF so-caiied represen-
lative Irishmen in America, who think
nothing Of wrecking a life so that they
la have fresh material for demagog.c
p~roclamations concerning the hatred of
The British people for the Irish, and for
new appeals to the ignorant and cred
llous for funds. There is absolutely no
question but that Ivory was betrayed
10 the British detectives by the very
men in New York and Brooklyn who in
iuced him to undertake the so-called
mission. and it Is also a fact that these
same men have advised him to make a
spread-eagle patriotic speech in the
dock, and which they can use in their
next proclamation to the Irish race"
Ivory may get off with ten years, hut
he is more likely to get twenty-five. Ex-
traordinary precautions will be taken to
insure the safety of Jones, the spy, upon
whose evidence the case against Ivory
mainly rests He has been in strict Sc
clusion since the police court proceed
ings, n will be kept at Scotland Yard
during the forthcoming trial, being es-
corted to and from the court every day
by an armed and mounted guard.

sued a cabinet order relative to drilling.
After exhorting the officers to be more
circumspect In their behavior. he
speaks at length. in favor OF a compro-

tinues:
My will, therefore, is that a council
Of honor shall henceforth, as a matter
OF principle, cooperate in the settle
ment of affairs of honor. The council
must undertake this duty with a con-
scious endeavor to arrange an amicable
settlement"

instructions experimenting the order OF
May, 1874, which introduced regula-
lions concerning courts of honor for the
Prussian army. Ii requires that off,

council and shall abstain from further
action. 1t defines the procedure OF the
council, which IS empowered to dictate
a compromise or to dismiss disputes AZ

cision. Should the council fail to ar
range a compromise. recours may be
had to a court OF honor, which can also
intervene should occasion be given by
h subsequent conduct Of either Of the
parties.
All evasions or ignoring OF the court

ians are also TO be referred TO a council

HE WAS A BRONCH0 BUSTER
An Ingenious Horsemon Arranges
n Queer Device.


Chamberlain, Jan. 3D.. W. Bastion,
a Newlin county ranchman, has invent
ed a broncho busting" machine, which
has proven to be a grand success. Three
years & Mr.. Bastion purchased a
bunch Of several hundred cayuses from
eastern Washington and Idaho. Since
that time he has beer principally en-
gagged in breaking horses and shipping
them east for sale. There We're natur-
ally many wild and unruly horses in
the bunch that often took a and in the
breaking, much to the detriment Of har-
ncsses, wagons and broncho busters"
In order to obviate this difficulty Mr..
Bastion invented the machine. 1t con-
sists of a strong. heavy post, Embedded
deeply and firmly in the earth, with
two strong sweeps attached to the top
in such a manne that they will revolve
freely about il. AT the other extremity
Of the sweeps are two wheels, and the
whole is firmly fastened together with
substantial braces. Whenever a bron-
cho Is to be broken 1t is driven into the
corral, lassosd, forced into n hackmore
and harness, and then placed between
the sweeps, with the halter tied secure
ly to one and the tugs fastened to the
other. The animal is then turned loose,
while the ranchman sits dowu at a safe
distance to enjoy the entertaining spec
tacle that is certain to follow. The
broncho. left TO himself, at once en-
deavors to disengage himself from the
harness. He will spring wildly into the
air, kick, buck, throw himself and get
up and run franticaliy around the cir
Gle to which the machine confines him.
When he Is nearly exhausted he is
taken out and returned 10 the corral.
The next day he Is put back In the ma
chine. Three lessons are usually suffi-
cient to subdue the most unruly and
vicious of the cayusos.

FR!GHTFUL SUFFERING AT SEA
Captain Herman Saved, but His
Companion Probably Lost.

Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. fl.-After days
of frightful suffering at sea Captain
Charles Herman of Providence, r.. L.,
was rescued on the St. Johns bar by the
United States revenue cutter Boutwell,
and brought to this city, where he now
lies in n precarious condition. In COM
pany with Clarence Gladding, Captain
Herman left Providence November ],
in he cat rugged yawl Cocheco, for a
cruise down the coast to Florida. They
had a pleasant trip as far south as
Charleston.
December 26 they encountered rough
Weather and their boat was driven far
from land. BY December 80 their pro-
visions were exhausted and then came
awful suffering from hunger and thirst.
Fol days the men could not see land
and had no idea OF their whereabouts.
Last Friday, however, Herman says,
the lighthouse on Anstansia island, off
st. Augustine, was sighted. Gladding
was d%elirious, Herman says, n could
not be prevented from trying TO make
shore in a dingy attached to the Coch-
eco. Gladding put off and nothing has
been seen OF him since.
Herman was lying in the bottom Of
the boat, his mouth on his naked fore
arm, when rescued. 1t was some hours
before he was revived after being taken
OF board the Boutwell,.

FOLLOWS WEYLER'S EXAMPLE
Gomez SiauRhters Prisoners--Span-
iards Are Losing Ground.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 3.-The Constitution
has a dispatch from Key West which says
that General Gomez has begun work OF
reprisal against the Spaniards. In an at
tack upon the central trocha near Moren,
he captured the Spanish garrison at Iagoa-
vile. with ia men.
They were notified that, according to
the precedent set by their own govern
ment. they should prepare to meet their
fate. They were given an opportunity or
writing messages to their friends in Spain.
and Their IN groups OF twenty-five they
were shot to death
Weyler's announcement OF the pacifica-
ton of Pinar del Rio does not stand. He
left over 5000 insurgents In the province.
He took additional soldiers from the mill
tary Gordon to Havana to demonstrate
that there were no insurgents there when,
as soon as he removed them, Cuban Gem
erals Raoul Arnago and Castillo marched
into the province of Pinar del Rio from
Havana with 5000 more men to reinforce
the 1900 already there. This goes to prove
how much dependence can be placed in
the statements of Weyier as to the atti-
tude Of the Cubans. They are not afraid
Of the Spanish. and not one man has sur
rendered in the province OF Pinar del Rio.
The Spanish have recently established
a military zone around the city of Havana.
inclosing a spsce five miles on all sides.
for the purpose Of cultivation for the sus-
tenance of the people OF that city, which
shows stiil further 10 what ends they are
driven and how little sympathy n sup
port they can depend upon from the sur
rounding country; also that they are daily
losing ground. and so hard pressed are
they that this section Is all that they can
call their own. and that has to be MAIN
tained by a military Gordon from the at.
tacks Of the insurgents.

Likely TO Go Free.

Aberdeen, Jan. 9.-The cases against
G. NJ. Clark of Miloank, the alleged for
ger and embeZzler, who fled to Mexico
and cut such a great figure about a year
ago, will probably be dismissed at the
approaching term Of court for Grant
county. Lawyer Null Of Huron, one OF
the attorneys for Clark. returned last
week from a trip to the east, and 1t is
believed that the visit was to New York
city TO close the negotiations which have
been pending for'some time for the nom
suiting Of the cases. The general opin-
ion is that he was successful in his mis-
sion, and that Brown & Co, who were
the principal sufferers by Clark's finan-
ciering, will fail to show up when the
cases come to trial The only persons
to suffer financial loss by the doings of
Clark, 1t Is state, were Brown & Co. Of
Few York, dealers in mortgages, securi-
ties, etc. 1t now appears that the fraud
ulent school bonds alleged to ave been
executed by Clark and sold to Brown &
Co. were in denominations exceeding
5000 and I'm express violation Of the stat
Ute, which says bonds OF that character
must not exceed that amount There
fore, it is held that as the bonds them
selves were void under the law Clark
committed no offense for which he could
,e successfully punished. 1t Is also in
.imated that restitution to some extent
will be made to Brown 81 Co, n it Is
confidently expected that Clark Will be
a free mar in a comparatively short
lime. His loyal wife has remained stead
fast to him In all his vicissitudes and is
low with him in Milbank.
