GRAND JURY FOR ROCK?
Chicago Man Makes Charges Pointing
Toward Graft.

GAINESVILLE, Wis, Jan. 1S,--An inves-
tigation of county affairs is the pos
sible outcome of the charges made by
a representative of the library bureau
of Chicago, which hint at graft in the
purchasing Of supplies for the county.
Some time ago tie county built a new
vault for the storage - records, and
the bureau representative states that
the bids were altered after being
opened so that a Jamestown, N Y
firm was favored. He demanded a hear
ing before the county board in which
he made serious charges against SUI
pervisor Simon Smith, former mayor
of Baloit The question of compelling
former County Clerk Frank p Starr
to make good funds appropriated to
him for clerk hire contrary to the law
is also up for consideration.

Washington. Jan. 17.-The recent
forcibly removal from the white house
of Mrs. Minor Morris was made the
subject of denunciation by Senator
Tillman in the senate. His remarks
called out remonstrances from Sena-
tors Hale. Hopkins and Daniel and led
to a very abrupt closing of the doors
and sudden adjournment of the senate
in the middle of the afternoon. Refer
ence to the treatment OF Mrs. Morris
constituted the latter half OF speech
based upon the senator's resolution
making an inquiry of the president
concerning the status Of our rela-
tions with Santo Domingo and was
added TO illustrate his theory that the
present administration is tending to-
wards imperialism. In the first part
of the address he characterized the
course of the United States in Santo
Domingo as a great extension OF the
Monroe doctrine and said that if pur'
sued the policy would lead the coun'
trv into many serious complications.
He accused the president Of putting
the treaty into execution In the face OF
the senate's refusal to act denounced
the senate as willing to submit sub
serviently to all that is asked of it
and implored the senators to show
their independence and thus teach
the executive a lesson and at the
same time serve the country.
In a session of two and one half
hours The house took favorable action
on 1863 pension bills Forty-two OF

Russia Is Ill d
re cai.io us Posi- ton


IS st. Petersburg, May 2s. Pessimism
over the outlook continues to grow.
The government, as usual, in every
crisis, seems to be hesitating as to
which course to pursue. The en-
peror refuses to yield to the counsels
OF Court Gamaril1a but his attitude
continues to be negative and not afflr-
NATIVE. He seems to cling to the
idea that comp romise is still posi-
bile.
s Several official notes have been is
sued, denying that the government in
tends to resort to force but at the
same time there is no evidence that
the emperor is ready to yield to the
demands for supercession of the pres
ent ministery with one from the ma
5jority in the lower house Of parlia-
.ment- The result is a virtual deadlock,
the prolonga alton Of which can only
serve to diminish the chances of a
peaceful settlement
Two plans for extricating the gov
ernnent without changing the direct
issue are suggested by the emperor's
moderate advisors. One is simply to
allow the lower house to talk until
the end of June, when the summer
vacation will be scheduled. The other
is to dissolve parliament and order a
new election. But either course, In
the opinion of the best judges Of the
situation, will only increase the dan
ger of an explosion in the country.
4 The peasantry, whose hopes are CEN
tered in parliament. undo btedly will
be profoundly stirred by the govern
ment's refusal to dist ibute crown and
church lands and recognize the prfn-
sciple Of expropriat Of private hold
ings and many expect an uprising to
follow the destruction of their homes.
