VALUE OF AMERICAN WIVES.

Blessed is the British statesman for wife just now. Of course, all such are blest at all times, on gerenal princi- pies: but they are especially so at the present moment. This state of affairs has existed ever since the day when Joseph Chamberlain's American wife stirred him up to make that famous speech advocating an Anglo-American alliance. He had found such an al liance a delightful success himself, and, reasoning from the particular to the general, he boldly advocated it for the whole nation. The British na- tiOn took up the idea with hurrah and now the English statesman who has not taken the precaution to sup ply himself with an American wife may as we'll step out of the race for preferment. The state Of affairs is fitly illustrated by the fact that MT George N. Curzpn, the enterprisfng young man who was fortunate enough to marry Miss Mary Letter, of Chica- go, is the leading candidate for the munificent appointment as viceroy of India. This is the richest office that the empress has to bestow, and it is distinctly stated that she and her min istry are inclined to favor MT. Cur zon's appointment largely because of his wife. Such choice would fitly recognize the prevailing spirit in favor of an Anglo-American entente of some sort, to say nothing of Mrs. Cur zon's brilliant social and intellectual qualifications for filling the important place of vicereine on the throne of the Great Mogul. If MT. Curzon gets the appointment under these circum- stances we may expect general rush of all unmarried British statesmen for American shores. Any American youth who has his eye on an eligible American maiden had better hurry up and secure her before the rush be- gins.-Chicago Tribune

BUSHNELL CONDEMNED.
His Attitude Resented by Resigna-
ti0ns and Protests

COLUMBUS, Jan. 3.-The Republicans of
the State are beginning to let Governor
Bushnell know their sentiments concerning
his attitude Joseph G.. Gest of Washing
ton Courthouse, a Republican editor, to-day
rendered the Governor his resignation as
deputy oil inspector. He made his official
reports to State Oil Inspector Kurtz and re-
signed on account Of the Governors at
titude on the senatorial contest. The
designations of Judge Nash, Colonel Moore
and Mr.. Gest were all promptly accepted.
A delegation of $50 Republicans arrived
at IL p. m. from Springfield, the home of
Governor Bushnell, to protest against the
action OF the latter on the senatorial con-
test. The Springfield Republicans were met
at the depot by delegation of Hanna men
with big red Hanna badges for all. The
transparencies were very severe and the
street parade quite demonstrative
The following kilograms were among those
received to-day by Governor Bushnell:

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, JAN s.
There was $627,5OO in gold dust and nuggets

from Alaska. The treasure on the steamer
was carefully guarded on the trip down by

A reporter had the pleasure of seeing this
wealth through the kindness of Captain

was considerable more carefully tied up in
sacks among the returning Klondikers.

fiict with Senator Hanna's vote on the
Cuban question in the Senate. Representa-
tive Scott, of Fulton county. who voted
with the combine to-day and is opposing
Senator Hanna's reelection, was also in
structed by resolutions at the county con-
vention that nominated him. Some of
Scott's constituents to-day had the Fulton
county ccnventions resolutions published
here in the local papers.
NIGHT CONFERENCES.
Both sides are spending the night in close
conferences. All the changes that are being
sought are anticipated from representa-
tives. 1t is conceded that Senator Burke,
one of the Republican senators from Cleve-
land, who has not yet appeared, will be
here to vote against Hanna. His attorney
to-day presented his certificate of election
to Lieutenant Governor Jones just before
the Senate convened. The Senate will cast
seventeen votes for Hanna and nineteen
against him. If Hanna is no stronger in
the House than the Boxwell ticket was to-
day, when BoxweH received So votes and
Mason 56 for speaker, then Senator Hanna
would have only seventy votes on joint bal
lot, and seventy-three are necessary to
elect. Notwithstanding the results on the
organization Of both houses, both sides
seem equally confident in claiming the SEN
atorship on joint ballot.
At the headquarters of "the combine to-
night the workers We're engaged all night in
entertaining the anti-Hanna Republican
members. In the apportionment of the
chairmanships the Democrats got twenty
eight in the House and the Republicans
thirteen, that body having a Republican
majority of fifteen. In the Senate, which is
tie politically, the Democrats got eigh-
teen chairmanships and the Republicans
four.
On the senatorial fight there were many
rumors about Hanna and Brice pulling to-
gether for a gold-standard senator and Me-
Lean and Bushnell for a free-silver senator
There were Democrats urging Mclean as
the combine candidate rather than Bush
nell, McKisson or Kurtz, and Republicans
were favoring Brice rather than a free-silver
Republican. Ex-senator Brice, in response
to inquiries, telegraphed the Democratic
members that the future and the integrity
of the party would be best served by the
Democratic members voting for a Demo-
crat for senator.
