THE Columbus Citizen of yester-
day says that under certain condi-
tions Judge Bright will become a
candidate for Congress against Gros-
venor. AS Bright ID not on the list
OF accredited lieutenants of Grosven-
or recently revised," and in the
light of talk Of new Republican pa
per in Hooking, the return of Pur-
sell, the secret conferences among
the Grosvenor "has-beens," the
whisperings and omlnous shak-
ing of heads, the failure of Keynes,
the removal of Campbell, etc., ETC.,
lead to the very reasonable coDclus-
ion that there is something in the po-
Iitical atmosphere and that it points
to the downfall Of the gentleman
from Athens who rewards his enem-
les and Furnishes his friends.

If GRosvBNOR had gone to Co
lumbus and helped Will Keynes, as
he ought to have done, for the SER
vice Will has rendered him, Logan
would today be rejoicing over a just
and merited appointment. But Will
is not on the "revised list" and must
go to Col. Sands and John White if
he wants anything at the hands of
Grosvenor. They are dishIng out
the pap this month. However if
Will has the patience, the next
change of the moon may bring an
entire change Of the list and if he
kicks hard enough on Grosvenor he
may come in on the next relief. AS
John White is alleged to have
properly sald, IF you want Grosven-
ors friendship, you have to kick
him."

UNLESS PUBLIC opinion compels

dhange in the present status of
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, it is
practically certain to be ratified.
A careful poll of the Senate shows
SO declared votes in its favor,
whereas only SO are necessary to
ratify. The truth is that Secretary
Hay has committed this country
to a position where it seems abso-
lutely necessary for it to secure
British consent before it can build
the canal at all. In other words,
he has admitted Great Britain TO
possess sovereign rights over the
United States-the right to super
wise its treaties with the sovereign
states of Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
This is the definition of sovereign
ty on which Great Britain has in
sisted in the case of the Trans va al.
Secretary Hay has placed lhe
country in this position by formal
ly negotiating for the abrcgation
of the Clayton.Bulwer treaty, and
thereby admitting that instrument
to be in full force instead of void,
as claimed by two former Repub-
lican Secretaries of State. Having
admitted this, the United States
cannot take it back, and as the
treaty ia perpetual by its own
terms and cannot be modified ex-
cept by common consent of both
parties, there seems no way Of pro-
ceediug except by consent of
Great Britain. The question of
benefit to the United States under
the Hay. Pauncefote treaty Is a
very simple one. Discussing it, II
Democrat Senator said: "Under
the new treaty the canal Is to be a
commercial agency exclusively.
Great Britain, Germany, France,
and all the other countries of the
world, will derive exactly the same
benefit from it that the United
States does-a greater benefit in fact,
because, aside from the initial out
lay, the canal will very probably
not pay its running expenses, any
in which must be made
good by Uncle Sam. 1t will there
fore give the countries of Europe
an advantage over American ships
In the rush for the Pacific trade,
now largely reserved to the Unit
ed States, by the distance from
Europe. If the United States is to
derive no military advantage from
the canal, why should it invest in
losing commercial speculation for
the benefit OF its trade rivals? II
might just as we'll agree to hold its
1rydocks and battleships neutral
for the use of all nations in time of
war, as to hold military highway
Of such tremendous potency open
Tor them" The above fairly rep
resents the views of the Democrat
&c minority in the Senate. The
Republican majority, secure In
heir seats for six years, can afford

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

If some of the old friends and cronies
of Burt ]. Sawyer, or those who knew
him in the palnly days when he had
money to burn" could have been in the
probate court yesterday afternoon they
must needs have pitied the wreck Of this
once wealthy man.
Ever since he was attacked with paresis
he has been in a private sanitarium at
Wauwatosa, Wis, having been brought
from there yesterday.
The reason for bringing him back is not
clear. and the only information vouch-
j. Sawyer, of Buffalo, N. Y, desired that
he be removed to the hospital for the in
sane at st. Peter. When brought into
court he looked around in a quizzical
manner and remarked that he had no
time to lose as he desired to take a
Turkish bath at the West hotel secure
some new clothes, and then, said he,
when I get fixed up I will be old Burt
Sawyer again." He also stated that he
had to leave for Duluth and straighten
out some grain matters. At times he is
possessed with the delusion that he is a
great singer and that he can MARBLE in
alto, tenor and bass all in the same
breath.
He also imagines that he is a doctor
and that he can cut off mans head and
put it on again without hurting him.
When asked his age he said he was sixty
six years old, although as a matter Of
fact he Is not over forty He was ex-
amined by Judge Harvey and Drs Jones
and Chapman and committed to the hos
pltal at ST. Peter.

OGDEN GATEWAY.
There Promises to Be a Fight Over

1t.
OMAHA, Neb, Feb st is believed
there will be meeting of officials Of the
Union Pacific, Oregon Short Line and
Oregon Railway ard Navigation CON-
pany at Salt Lake on Wednesday. One
Of the questions TO be taken up is the
consolidation of the three companies.
Among railway men it is believed that
this move is preliminary to closing the
Ogden gateway, as IL emphasizes the
complete control of the Union Pacific in
these corporations. The consolidation
will restore the condition which prevailed
previously to the segregation of the
Union Pacific, under the receiVerShip.
A prominent railroad man, not connect
ed with the Union Pacific, said such ac
ton ON the part of the company had been
anticipated by outside lines. The Bur
lington, 1t was pointed out, foreSaW this
when it started to build the Hartvilie
branch, which is being laid with heavy
steel. such as is used only on main lines.
and this road was headed toward a pass
which would afford an easy line to Og-
den.
A Union Pacific official, in discussing
the matter denied that any such action
would be taken at the Salt Lake meet
ing, but added that he could see no
reason why the Union Pacific should
accept the short haul from Ogden when
1t was In a position to demand the long
haul from the Missouri river. He also
pointed out that the Ogden gateway was,
opened through the fundamentally OF
shert line officials at time when the
management of that road was hostile to
the Union Pacific, whereas at present 1t
was controlled by the Union Pacific and
practically operated as an integral part
of the line.

Travelling Man Kills u Horse to Win

REDWOOD FALLS, Mimi, Feb. a.
Especial "A travelling salesman named
James Larson, said to be In the employ
of the Medary Saddlery company. Of La
Crosse, was arrested here tonight for
shooting within the city limits. During
the afternoon citizen named Gus Nc
Gettrick was parading a horse up and
down the streets offering to bet $50 that
no one could place collar on him. Short
ly before 6 o'clock Larson stepped up to
him and accepted the bet. The horse was
taken to place in front of Hesstan's liv-
cry stable. directly opposite the Meth
odst church. Larson appeared with
Winchester rifle, and with crowd around
him, and while ladies and gentlemen were
passing up and down the street in front
of the church, fired the rifle and killed
the animal. and then placed the collar
around his neck and demanded the mon
ey wagered. AS soon as he placed the
collar on the horse a policeman stepped
from the crowd and placed Larson under
arrest. He was taken to the police court.
where he was charged with shooting IN
side of the city limits. His case was con-
tinued until 10 o'clock Monday morning,
and he put up 500 cash bail for his APP
pearance. 1t Is believed that the charge
against him viii be changed to an indict-
able offense. as people of this city are
highly enraged over the commission of
the offense by an outsider. This sentf-
ment is particularly strong with the large
congregation of the Methodist church,
who tomorrow morning will gaze at the
pool Of blood in front of the building as
they pass to and from services. McGet-
trick will also make a demand for the loss
Of his horse.

Judge Harvey yesterday forenoon.
sumner G. Lewis, a son -in-law, gave
some startling testimony as to the habits
of Merriam who. he said. remained drunk
for days at a time.
He testified that after Mrs. Merriam
had been compelled to leave him she took
apartments at the NicolIet house. On
one occasion Mr.. Merriam called at his
cigar stand in the hotel and cursed at
him, accusing him Of being instrumental
In keeping his wife at The hotel. At tho
same time he made a lungs at him and
tried to stab him with the point of an
umbrella. Lewis testified that Merriam
had threatened to kill his wife If she re-
fused to sign a contract for the sale of
lot for 500, 000
On another occasion he came home late
for dinner and was N q cross and ugly
mood from drink.
Shortly after coming home he went UP

was attracted by the screams of Mrs.
Merriam. I ran up to see what was the
matter, when I found the door of their
room locked. 1 then commanded him to
open the door, saying at the same time
that If he did not do so 1 would break 1t
in. The door was then unlocked, and I
found that he had been choking his
wife"
Mr.. Lewis testified that on another oc-
casion he found him lying down in the
stairway Of q business block surrounded
by crowd of men and boys. His watch
was hanging out of his pocket and some
