TORlOUS PIMH COUNTY NARROW GfUGE
BOND ST6hL,

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. S.-A new
judgment, which includes the renewal
of an old one with accrued interest
was rendered today against st. Clair
county, Missouri, in the United States
circuit court in favor of John B. Hen
derson, Jr, of Virginia, and was for
$551,013. This judgment originally
was for 100000 against the county in
1873, and drew 10 per cent interest from
that time until now, and will continue
to draw 10 per cent interest until paid
The judgment, unless renewed, would
run out in ten years, and so the hold
ers Of it go into court each seven years
and have the original judgment re-
newed and the interest added.
The judgment was originally in favor
of General John B. Henderson, but he
transferred it to his son, John B. Hen
derson, Jr. After the judgment was
rendered Mr.. Henderson said to Mr.
Julian, st. Clair county's attorney:
II the people of st. Clair county will
pay one-half of what these bonds have
cost me, they can have them. I am
anxious to compromise. I will accept
any compromise proposition from ST
Clair county. l will give the county
the best of it,
''The great trouble in reaching a
compromise" answered Mr.. Julian, ''is
that the holders of the rest of the st
Clair county bonds demand exorbitant
bonds in settlement. AS the bonds
were all issued at once, they must be
settled for at once. The judgments
now against the county ON account Of
these bonds aggregate more than ST..

WASHINGTON D. c., Dec. Sex
Speaker Thomas B. Reed died at mid
night Saturday night, and the House
paid a remarkable tribute to his mem
ory
His death created a profound i'm.
preston, and there was universal
desire among the members of the House
to show a signal mark of respect.
For the House to take action ON the
death of former member had only
three precedents in it's history, namely
ON the occasions of the deaths of Ben

phens, when resolutions were adopted
and an adjournment taken.

100000. The county could not pay
that
So the war between the county and
the bondholders is likely to go on in
definitely.
The bonds were originally issued to
help construct a railroad that was
never constructed. The bonds were
voted by corrupt officials soon after the
close of the civil war; The people Of
st. Clair county killed two county
judges who voted to issue the bonds,
and half hanged and subsequently ex-
pelled from the county the attorney
who represented the bondholders.
For more than twenty years county
judges in st. Clair county have been
elected to go to Jail. The United
States courts have ordered the county
court to make a tax levy to pay the
interest on the bonds. This the coun-
ty judges have refused to do, and they
have been sent to Jail for contemept or
became fugitives from the United
States marshals.
Since the people strung UP to tele-
graph pole and half hanged, and SUBJ
sequently drove from the county, the
lawyer who represened the bondhold-
ers, no st. Clair county lawyer would
assume the responsibility Of taking the
case against the county, and the bond
holders were compelled to employ law
yers from New York and Chicago to
handle their case
She people of St Clair county de-
clare they never will pay the bonds
and it looks as If the, contest would go
on indefinitely.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT INTIMATES TO
MHRK SMITH THhT THERE IS Il POSSI-
BILlTY OF n VETO BECAUSE OF BEV6R-
lDGE'S UNFnVORHBL6 REPORT.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. s.
Although the Statehood issue will not
come formally before the Senate until
Wednesday, it is attracting more at
tention and is the cause of more con-
ferences than any question that has
been in the Senate since the contest be-
tween Nicaragua and Panama when the
isthmian. canal bill was up.
Hanna is trying to rally the Repub-
lican majority in the Senate against
Arizona and New Mexico. Beveridge
has no strength in the Senate, and is
personally very unpopular. For this
reason Knute Nelson, the Scandinavian
who represents Minnesota in the Sem
ate, was chosen to introduce In behalf
of the committee the bill merging Ok
lahoma and Indian Territory in one
State. Hanna, recognizing the un-
popularity of Beveridge, has taken the
lead of the fight against the Omnibus
bill, and is attempting to crack the
party whip.
Nothing suits Quay and Plat of New
York better than, that Hanna should
be their chief opponent. The relations
between Quay and Platt on one side
and Hanna on the other are far from
pleasant. Quay and Platt resent
Hanna's influence in the Senate, and
Quay has a personal grievance against
him because he voted against seating
Quay year ago when the latter was
appointed Senator by the governor
of Pennsylvania. Quay is honestly
anxious to admit the three Territories
to Statehood, but he is doubly anxious
To take jolt out of Hanna and to sit
down on Beveridges aspirations to be
q leader,
Quay held a conference in his com
mittee room today with the Republi-
cans known to be favorable to the
Omnibus bill. he conference was
secret but it is understood that fifteen
Republicans were either present or ac-
counted for, and that all adhered to
their pledge to support the Omnibus
BILL
Senator Quay declines to discuss the
situation, but it is known that he is
very cheerful and fully expects to win
the fight.
Delegate Smith of Arizona had q
long conference with the President late
Saturday evening. The President told
him Senator Beveridge had portrayed
very bad condition of things in New
Mexico and an unfavorable condition
in Arizona, and should the Omnibus
bill pass the Senate he would feel COM
PEELED to look very carefully into the
real status OF the Territories before
he could approve the measure 1t is
feared that the eastern Republican con-
tingent has already poisoned the Pres
ident's mind sufficiently against those

bill for their admission, should the

dent has never vetoed bill admitting

that Mr.. Roosevelt's more conservative

fore establishing dangerous prece.
dent.
The opposition to the Omnibus bill is
both political and sectional. 1t is the
eastern and middle States against the
west. The west is already too power
ful in the Senate, and all the States
east of the Missouri and north of the
Ohio are jealous of the vests growing
life and power. The discussion will
probably grow bitter. The Republi-
can mossbacks are determined to clip
the wings of the young and mighty ex-
panding west, If they can.
The friends of the Omnibus bill, af-
ter a careful canvass of the Senate
declare that they have a majority of
three in the Senate They are now
counting on Alger of Michigan, infiu-
enced by Quay, and Deboe of Kentucky
