ever, arose in the person of Senator Da.
Wis, the chairman of the senate commit

dent was forced TO choose between an.
tagonizins his influence in the senate
and disappointing Mr.. Merriam. He can.
didly explained the situation to the for.
ner governor. who did not hesitate TO re-
lieve him from his embarrassment
The eninity between Mrs. Davis and
Mrs. Merriam is said to have beer
caused by the refusal of Mrs. Merriam
to call upon The senator's wife at her St
Paul home, or to acknowledge her exist
cnce by the smallest courtesy. The situa-
ton naturally in time involved the hus-

He then asked for the consul generalship

finally suggested to him that he take
the assistant secretaryship of state, and
this he eventually accepted.
He did not imagine that there would
be the slightest opposition. and the pres
ident was evidently of the same opinion.
When Senator Foraker announced his
displeasure. it was regarded as only tenn
porary. Then it became known that Mr.
Foraker considered the proposed an
rointment as a personal matter. He did
not speak to Mr.. Storer, and the wives
of the. two gentlemen were bitterly
estranged. The difficulties between tho
two politicians originated in a law suit
and the breach was never healed.
The president fancied that he could
piacate senator Foraker, but when SEN
ator Hanna called upon him and pro-
tested against the selection of Mr.. Storer
the matter assumed an unexpected Sc
robustness.
MIR. Hanna had come to Mr.. Foraker's
assistance because it was absolutely
necessary that he should have the aid
OF the senator in securing the election
from the legislature next winter. Messrs
Foraker and Hanna, however. announced
their willingness to have Mr.. Storer sen,

CHASED THE BURGLARS
But northampton Officer Did Not Ressrn
the Fire From Ecvoivcrs.


Northampton, Mass, March 14.-The
ticket office Of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad was en-
tered by burglars about l o'clock Satur-
day morning, and the safe was blown
oren by charge of gunpowder. The
office was badly wrecked by the force Of
the explosion. The burglars secured
about SCI in money. Al tickets and five
mileage books. They then made their
escape, leaving the city by way of the
Boston and Maine tracks, going south,
toward Holyoke. Officer Stevens heard
the explosion, and hurried to the depot.
At the corner he says he saw a man
standing. evidently on guard. AS the
officer approached, the man fired at him
with a revolver. and then disappeared
before the officer could return the shot.
Officer Stevens says he gave chase, and
saw four young men hurrying down the
tracks. He went after them. but they
opened fire at them with their revolvers.
and he retired. Why the officer did not
take part in the shooting seems to be a
mystery. for he was armed.
Chief of Police Maynard and W. A.
Lee, the station agent, were called to the
scene and found that the burglars had
entered the station by means of a Win
dow. the lock of which was turned with
caseknife. The door of the ticket office
was found open. and the work was begun
on the safe with drill in common bit
stock. The burglars tried to make hole
through the top. but gave it up and then
succeeded in drilling through the side
The safe Was small one, and was
cracked without much difficulty. The
ticket case was not locked. Glass in the
Office windows was blown out. and the
interior was badly damaged by the en-
plosion.
