TALK OF WAR.
Results in Display of Patriotic Arior
at Lincoln Celebration.

Chicago, Feb. 1s.-Reference to pos
stbil1ty of war led to a scene of pat
r1otic ardor at the Lincoln celebration
OF the National Athletic club last night.
General w H. Carter, u. S. A., and
General e. c. Young, Illinois National
guard, were among the speakers. AL
exander Sullivan, in an address follow
ing said:
IF the time comes when our flag is
assailed we may rest assured the Illi-
nois Athletic club will be recruiting
ground for volunteers. Nobody is ex-
pecting difficulties of an international
character and 1 am sure nobody wants
them, but if they do come, we all know
that We are prepared for-well, any
body.
In the time of our great trial Abra-
ham Lincoln came forth to lead us to
victory, and we have no lack of great
and capable men today. The presence
of the soldiers this evening is sufficient
to show Chicago would be well repre-
sented in an emergency. What is more
the Illinois club will do her duty come
what will"
The great dining hall, which was fill
ed with a picturesque gathering of club
members and uniformed soldiers, young
and old was instantly a scene of en-
thusiasm. The silken flags that adorn-
ed the tables were seized and waved in
the air, the soldiers forgetting their
parade uniforms and gold lace to throw
their arms about in the air and cheer
as loudly as their lungs would per-
init.

Hearing in the Tennyson MUIR
der Case Is Postponed.
John Lundberg, One of the
Twelve, Has Nervous Collapse.
SECURE SUBSTITUTE.
Effort at Once Made to Obtain
Another Juryman.
Will Be $50 Witnesses and Case
Will Take Ten Days.

Marysville, Kan. Feb. 13.-No pro-
greSs was made in the trial of the
George Tennyson case this morning.
John Lundberg, one of the jurymen,
is confined to his room. suffering
from a nervous collapse. He is SUBJ
ject to these attacks. In his posi-
ton Mr.. Lundberg will probably not
be able to act as juryman. Even
If the case is continued, he would not
be competent, as the nervous strain
would be very likely TO bring on a re-
turn. Judge Kimball set aside the
charge to the special venire and in
structed the sheriff to summon as
many men as possible to appear in
the court at 1880 this afternoon. He
set aside the acceptance of the jury
and an attempt will be made this af-
ternoon to find juryman to serve in
Lundberg's place. No evidence has
been given in the case 50 far, but it is
expected that the taking of testimony
will begin this afternoon as soon as
the jury is complete. One hundred
and fifteen witnesses have now been
subpoenaed and it is probable that
the number will reach 150 before the
case is finished. The attorneys think
it will require ten days to complete
the case.

Toxic, Feb. 13.-After an exciting
debate lasting six hours which de-
veioped into riot on the floor of the
house of Representatives, the financial
budget was passed by a majority of
102 Speakers on both sides occupied
a long time and towards the last they
howled at the chair and charged
favoritism, the opposition members
demanding an apology
The chair suspended the session for
half an hour and upon resuming the
chair apo1ogized handsomely to the
opposition.
Impressive speeches were made
during the debate, all making a point
Of the feature that more than one
half of the budget was expended in
armaments. 1t was also urged that
the fiscal measures Of the govern

prevent an outflow of gold, while the
balance of trade had a tendency
against Japan, fear being expressed
that the basis of the gold reserve
might be endangered. Upon the side
of the ministry, the principal speak

CHEERS FOR GARFIELD.
When He Is Mentioned as Future
Presidential Possibility.

Chicago. Feb. 13.-One of the first
big guns of the Republican national
campaign was fired at the Lincoln day
banquet of the Hamilton club last
night by James R. Garfield, secretary
of the interior.
The efforts of administration to cor
rect the abuses of special privileges
and the intentions of President Roose-
velt in taking each of his steps against
corporate wealth formed the subject of
Mr.. Garfield's address.
The question of special privileges,
Mr.. Garfield maintained. was upper
most of the problems of the day. The
Republican party, he said. stood face
to face with the proposition of carry
ing on the policies of the president in
bringing men of wealth who break
laws to their account or turning back
the pages of history.
Mr.. Garfield was introduced by
Thomas D. Knight, the POSTMASTER In
his Introductory remarks. Mr.. Knight
said that the future might well see Mr..
Garfield in the seat his father had once
occupied. These sentences were re-
ceived with cheers and the waving of
handkerchiefs and other demonstra-
tions OF great approval.

''The restoration and preservation

STABBED WITH A CHISEL
William MeulIer, a Grocer. Has Mar
row Escape.

Last night William Meuller, a grocer
who keeps a store at 1874 Quincy street,
and Henry Wunsch, a Santa Fe car
penter, passed a few heated words, and
then Wunsch stabbed Meuller in the
left arm with some pointed instrument,
presumably a carpenters chisel. Meul-
Ter. was badly injured, an artery being
severed in his arm, and it took physi-
clan about two hours to patch him up.
This morning Meuller came to the
county attorneys Office for a warrant
against Wunsch, but found that the
stabber had beaten him to it, Wunscf1
had appeared before the deputy county
attorney at an earlier hour, charging
Meuller with assault. He claimed that
Meuller had slapped him on the jaw.
This Meuller admits, but says that the
slap was delivered three weeks ago,
while Meuller's assault was delivered
last night. Each Is technically guilty
of assault, under Meullers admission
that he slapped Wunsch some time in
the past, but he insists that he is ready
to stand arrest and punishment for his
offense against Wunsch, providing
Wunsch is properly punished for stab
bling him last night.
The row, according to the statement
of Meuller was the result of Wunsch' 8
abuse of Meuller's father.

FORAKER EXPLAINS IT.
The Senator Gives His Version OF the
Taft Victory in Ohio.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator j. J.
Foraker has given out a statement a.
to the result of the primary elections
in Ohio on Tuesday when the Taf
forces made practically a clean sweer
in the selection of delegates to the COM
ing Republican state convention. In
his statement Senator Foraker says:
Nobody should be either surprised
or misled by the result of the primaries
held in Ohio Tuesday. 1t has been
call for this primary was of such char
acter that my friends throughout the
state refused to participate Conse
uuently there was no opposition to the
selection of Taft delegates. Under such
circumstances he would of course carry
everything.
THAT the result of the primaries does
not indicate anything conclusive should
be manifest from the fact that the total
vote polled will not represent more
than ten per cent Of the Republicans
of Ohio. There were only two districts
in which there was any approach to
contest, and these contests were due TO
the fact that there were opposing can
didates in each district for the nom
ination to congress
aIn the sixth district the Taft can
didate was defeated by 1,025, while in
the Fifteenth district Mr.. Dawes. the
Taft leader and candidate for renom-
fnatfon, is probably beaten. according
to the latest advices have received. IL
there has been primary in which we
could have participated similar results
would have been possible. II not prob

Recurring to the state convention II
should be borne in mind that 1t Will be
