I no senator does not think the Illi

" hen asked his opinion as to the
t;oal wisdom of the appointment in
neral way, Senator Palmer replied
he felt a delicacy in expressing
seif on this point, because he had
oeen consulted, and it was proba
none of his business. He ventured
ay, however, that Mr. Cleveland
certainly departed from the ordi

■•oule John lannlnn Dead.
London, Feta 11—The death was
announced yesterday of Mr. Louis
John Jenninga conservative member
of the house of commons for Stook
port Mr. Jenninga who was well
known in the United States, was born
in London in 1836. between 1863 and
1868 he acted as special correspondent
for the London Times in India and in
the United States. He subsequently
became connected with the New York
Times, and while acting as editor of
that paper was chiefly instrumental in
exposing and overthrowing the Tweed
ring. In 1885 he stood for election in
Stockport and was returned. Mr.
Jennings was the author of a number
of works.
Mouth Dakota Affair..
WASHnf&xoN, Feb. 11_Senator
Pettigrew was before the senate com*
mittee on appropriations looking after
items in the bill which particularly
pertain to South Dakota and the west.
He secured the* promise that his sev
eral requests will be granted. The
most important was in striking out a
provision which practically repealed
the land law of 1891, by which so
many land titles were settled. ' The
provision was put in at the request of
one Buttes, formerly of North Caro
lina, now of North Dakota, and the
express intention was to upset the title
of the site of Great Falls, Wherein Buttes
was an attorney. He has been trying
to smirch everybody who assisted in
passing the law of 1791, saying it was
put through at the request of Pres
ident Hill of the Great Northern
road for the express purposeof getting
possession of the Great Falls town site.
The provision in the bill has been
stricken out. Mr. Pettigrew was also
promised an increase for surveys and
an appropriation for the Sioux Falls
building, with a provision that it
should be made fireproof, that the
number of land offices should not be
diminished and the adoption of the
Fort Randall military bill as a part of
the appropriation bill. Senator Petti
grew today introduced a bill to ratify
the agreement between the Rosebud
and Lower Brule Indians in South Da
kota, which, if passed, will have the
effect of making the Brules a part of
the Rosebud agency. .,
JACK CLIFFORD NOT QLjlLTY.
Th« Homeiteftd Striker* Poor# Another
Victory In Court.
Pittsburg, Pa.. Feb. 9.—Jack Cllf
iord. the Homestead strike leader
charged with the murder of P. J. Con
nors during the famous barge battles
on July 6, was ac<yiitted.
Since the Homestead trial; began
there has not been such an attendance
at the court kouse as there was yester
day. Every inch of space was occu
pied and many persons were unable to
get inside the doors. The day was
devoted to the arguments of counsel
for the defense and prosecution and
the charge of Judge Stowe.
After being out about four hours it
was announced that the jury had
agreed on a verdict. The defendant
was brought from jail and placed in
the prisoner’s box, where he nervously
awaited the result. ' The jury then
filed in and the foreman announced
the verdict of not guilty. An out
burst of applause was speedily checked
by the court officers. Clifford heaved
a sigh of relief at the announcement,
and was immediately taken back to
jail on the other charges pending
against him. He still has indictments
for treason and riot to answer for.'
To-morrow an effort will be made to
secure his release on bail.
District Attorney Burleigh’s only
comment on the verdict was to say:
“We will try each one of these cases
as they come, and the responsibility |
for the verdicts! rests upon the jury
and not upon us. All the cases will
bo tried including that of Chairman
H. C. Frick. Hugh O’Donnell will bo
placed on trial next Monday.”
Senator Sajre He Was Dragged.
Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 9.—J.D. Wood
ruff of Lander received the Republican
vote in the Legislative balloting for
United States Senator yesterday. The
vote stood; Woodruff (Rep.), 21; New
Baxter (Dem.), 2. It is conceded by
New’s friends that the Menton Gonnty
man is “not in it" It begins to look
as if the Populists would not vote for
any Republican or Democrat either.
The sensation of the hour is the alle
gation of old “Uncle Jimmy" Kime, a
Senator from Fremont County, who
says he was drugged by the friends of
a certain candidate, and that for
eighteen hours he did not know any
thing. These charges, it is said, will
be fully investigated and a lively time
is expected.
Dally Earthquakes In Zante.
Athens, Feb. 10—The island of Zante
is shaken several times daily by earth
quakes. The King will remain there
some time to superintend the building
of huts for the homeless and to assist
the Relief Committee in Zante City.
The Queen is still traveling from vil
lage to village giving to the impover
ished. Two Italian men-of-war have
taken supplies to Zante.

In the senate on the 6th the pro*
seeding* were of a character at onoe
Interesting and Important. The junior
senator from New York. Mr. Hill
made the motion, of which he had
given notice last Friday, to proceed to
the consideration to repeal the Sher*
man silver purchase act and in sup
port of the motion delivered a care
fully prepared speech in which he
declared himself unconditionally a
friend of free bitnetalic coinage. The
motion was defeated ’ by nearly a two
thirds majority, the vote being, yeas,
'.'a; nays, 42. Afterward the quaran
tine bill* was taken up and passed with
out a division; also a bill tor payment
out of the treasury of local taxes on
lands held by Indians in severalty.
Senate bill for the payment by the
government of local taxes on lands
held by Indians in severalty was
passed. The house bill granting ad
ditional quarantine powers and im
posing additional duties upon the
marine hospital service, was taken up.
The question being on the
substitute reported from the
senate committee on epidemic
diseases. The bill was passed,
the substitute being agreed to. In the
bouse it was suspension day and Mr.
Kilgore of Texas early began filibus
tering motions, his superficial object
being to prevent the consideration of
the anti-option bill, but deeper than
this was his antagonism to the bank
ruptcy bill, which public rumor had
put down on the slate for today. It
was after 1 o’clock when the various
filibustering motions of Mr. Kilgore
were disposed of and the journal ap
proved. Then Mr. Bunn moved to
suspend the rules and pass a bill ap
propriating |32,000 for the relief of
the heirs of Adalicia Chouteau. Mr.
Burrows demanded a second, and, as
no quorum voted, on motion of Mr.
Kilgore a call of the house was or
dered. The call showed the presence
of a quorum and tellers were again
ordered, and again no quorum voted,
and again a call ol the house was or
dered. After some other roll calls the
house adjourned, without having
reached the anti-option or the bank
ruptcy bills.
In the senate on the 7th considera
tion was had of the substitute reported
from the committee on interstate com
merce to promote the safety of em
ployes and travelers on railroads by
compelling common carriers engaged
in interstate commerce to equip their
cars with automatic couplers and con
tinuous brakes and their locomotives
with driving wheel brakes. The mo
tion went over without definite action.
Mr. Turpie, democrat, from Indiana,
offered the following, which was laid
on the table and printed: Believing
that the doctrine of asylum, as prac
ticed and approved by a very large
majority of the members of the family '
of nations, is higly expedient and the
jurisdiction in what are known as po
litical offenses, ought not to be exfra.
ditable, it is concluded as the sense of
the senate that no treaty should be
approved which proposes to oust the
courts or magistrates of the United
Stales of the right to determine, in
each case, under the allegations and
proof therein, whether the offense
charged be political or non-po
litical under the law of nations.
In the house the legislative
appropriation bill was considered.
Mr. Dingley said that the appropria
tions made by this congress would
reach $1,038,000,000. against $980, -
000,000 made by the Fifty-first con
gress, an increase of $.00,000,000. If
there should be no tariff legislation to
disturb importations the revenues for
the fiscal year 1894 would undoubtedly
reach $405.000,000. and the expense
should not exceed $390.000.000, and
would not, if the river and harbor
bills should not exceed $15,000,000.
which was $2,000,000 more than was
ever expended. If they should go up
to $33,000,000, as contemplated by the
action of the house, then there would
inhvitably be a deficienby next year.
The tariff legislation foreshadowed
would undoubtedly reduce the revenue
unless the duties should be made low
enough to enormously swell importa
tions.
In the senate on the 8th the follow
ins' bills were passed: House bill for
the relief of certain settlers on publio
lands in the Tucson land district, Ari
zona; house bill to amend the act of
March 3. 1839. and establish a court
of private land claims; senate bill to
except the veterans from competitive
examination in the classified service of
the United States. Senate bill to
amend the act of May 5. 1892. prohib
iting the immigration of Chinese, hav
ing been reached. Mr. Hoar gave no
tice of a substitute for the bill—the
substitute being that the act • -is here
by repealed. ” The senate then pro
ceeded to the house to count the elec
toral vote. On returning the vice
president made a statement of the
vote for president and vice president
of the United S la tea and said that
the announcement of the vote by
the president of the senate was
by law, a sufficient declaration that
Grover Cleveland of the state of
New York was elected president of the
United Statea and that Adlai E. Ste
venson of the state of Illinois was
elected vine president of the United
Statea each of the terms beginning
' & ’ Xi ' *
i.v' •via- 'm
March i 1893, and the fact would bo
•at*rad. together with a Hat of tha
▼otaa, on tha journal of tha senate.
In the house, a faw momenta before 1
o’olook, Doorkeeper Turnerannounced
the presence of the vice preaident and
the aenate of tha United States, qpd
tha east assemblage rose with one ao
oord to do them honor. The vice pres
ident took the chair assigned to him,
to tha right of tha speaker, ’and the
senators occupied the first four rows
of seats to the right of the presiding
officer. The oounting of the electoral
votes waa then proceeded with, and at
its completipn the senate returned to
its own hall. When the senate retired
the house resumed, In committee the
oonalderation of the legislative appro
priation bill.
*« lauara UU tua VbU kUO WUUiO
of the 'day’s session was .devoted to a
dltcutsloh of the railroad .au^omptio
car coupler bill. The subject reported
by the committee on inter-state com
merce was amended by making the
first section, requiring the use of pow
er driving wheel brakes to take effeot
July 1, 1898, instead of 1895, and the
fourth seotion, requiring the use of
grab irons or hand holds in the ends
and sides of the cars, to go into force
on the 1st of July, 1896, Instead of
1893. It was also amended by strik
ing from the second seotion all but the
first sentence. In the houBe Mr. Catoh
ings called up the resolution from the
committee on rules, setting apart this
legislative day for the consideration
of the bill repealing the Sherman act.
Mr. Bacon, chairman of the committee
on banking and currency, said the
main purpose of the bill was that the
purchase of silver bullion and the stor
age of it in the vaults of the treasury
as a commodity in metaiio form, and
without coinage, should stop. Mr.
Bland, the general of the silver foroes,
said that it would be a curious thing
for the country to observe the vote
upon the cloture resolution in brderto
ascertain how many men on the dem
ocratic side of the house who, when
the free coinage bill was up, planted
themselves on the high horpe of dem
•ocratio principles and announced that
the proposition was undemocratic,
would then come down from their
horses and would vote in the interest
of Wall street to demonetise silver.
The discussion was continued by
Messrs. Bartini Watson, Bryan, Cox,
Walker, Springer and Reed. Mr.
Gatchings dosed the debate with a
statement that the committee on rules
would not be affected by any action
which the house might take on its re
port. The roll call was taken on or
dering the previous question. At its
conclusion the speaker announced that
the previous question bad been ordered
by a vote of yeas 162, nays 143.
In the senate on the 10th discussion
continued on the automatic car coupler
bill. A vote was about to be taken on
the passage of the bill, when Mr.
Harria democrat, from Tennessee,
proposed that the vote should be post
poned until a new print of the bill, as
amended, could be had. That was
agreed to. The vote upon the bill to
provide for sundry light bouses and
other aids to navigation, which was
passed some days ago, was, on motion
of Mr. Dolph, reconsidered; all the
amendments adopted by the senate to
it were rejected, and the bill was
passed without amendment, just as it
came from the house. The calendar
was taken up and these bills were
passed: Senate bill appropriating
$50,000 for a public building in Lara
mie, Wyo.; two senate bills to author
ize the construction of dams across the
Kansas river; senate bill to' amend
section 4347 of Revised Statutes in re
lation to the transportation of mer
chandise. It prohibits the transporta
tion of merchandise from one Ameri
can port to another American port
through a foreign port. In the house
After the routine business had been
disposed of the house considera
tion was had of the invalid pension
appropriation bill. Mr. Mutchler, in
charge of the bill, stated that the ap
propriation recommended was $166,
400,000. It was proposed to amend
the measure so that that amount would
be reduced to $166,090,000. The bill
carried about $4,000,000 in excess of
the amount that* would be expended
during the current year. Mr., Grout
admitted that the amount of money
required for the payment of pensions
was a large one. But it must be re
membered that the bulk of it was for
invalid veterans, or for widows of men
who had laid down their lives for
their country. He was opposed to the
transfer of the pension bureau as pro
posed by the biil. He did not think
that such a transfer would take the
bureau out of the domain of politics.
But he did believe that an appropriate
amendment could be frameid in that
line, which would be beneficial to the
pensioner. The debate was not con*
eluded when the house adjourned.
Hmtj Cattle Loa<N In UontanR.
Helena, Mont., F«b. 10.—Lading
cattlemen of the State estimate that
the losses of cattle in open ranges will
average about 35 per cent from the
storms and frightfully cold weather
prevailing since Jan. lit Losses will
be heaviest in Choteau, Fergus and
Dawson Counties, as the weather in
that section in the early part, of the
winter was less favorable than In the
Southeastern portion of the State. Old
cows, young calves and Texas eattle
brought North last week have stood
the storm poorly. From all sections of

Sr. Louis, Mo., Feb. 7.—One of the
hardest fights that ever took place in
this section of the country was fought
last evening in Madison County, 11L,
about ten miles from East St Louis.
The contestants were Harry Sharpe, a
local printer, and Frank Crosby, box

Pension Law Change*.
Washington, Feb. 9.—A lively pen*
■ion fight Is on In the house. Unless
ell Indications fall, there will be some
very interesting debates and sharp ma
neuvering on the floor of the house
when the pension appropriation bill
is taken up for consideration. A rad
ioal change In the pension policy is
proposed. The change will be backed
up by a majority of the committee on
appropriations and will be fought
tooth and nail by the republican mi
nority, assisted by representative Hol
man, chairman of the committee, who
is ordinarily the moat strenuous advo
cate on the committee of a reduction
of expenditures.
The proposed change in the pension
polloy has in view a considerable re
duction of the pension rolls and the
enormous amount now, paid out for
pensions by purging the lists of the
names of some of those now on them
and by making more difficult the pro
curement^ in somo cases, of a pension
under the laws.
It is proposed to change the laws in
some respects and a new policy is to
be inaugurated, as far as the adminis
tration of the law is concerned, by
turning over the whole pension bu
reau to the war department. These
changes, with some modifications, are
the same as originally proposed by the
subcommittee whic^ framed the pen
sion appropriation bill, but whloh in 1
full committee were stricken out by a
majority of one vote. The committee !
has now by a narrow majority recon- i
sldered that action.
There was a meeting of the commit- '
tee this morning and a fight for a new '!
pension policy was renewed by Mr.
O’Neil of Massachusetts and others.
By a yea and nay vote the committee ,
decided to report, the necessary '
amendments to be offered to the pen
sion bill when it comes up.

Morgan on Annexation. , .
Washington, Feb. 9.—Mr. Morgan,
the leading democratic member of the
senate committee on foreigh relations,
held a short conference wtth Secretary i
of State Foster, and the bill introduced 1
by Morgan today is the probable out
come of the conference. Mr. Morgan ‘
is an enthusiastic nationalist, and it '
would seem that his measure provides
not only for Hawaii, but for any sim
ilar condition that may arise in the 1
future. The full text of the bill, which
is a very short one, is as follows: 1
“That whenever the United States '
shall acquire dopiinion over any for- '
eign country, or place, by treaty of '
annexation, or otherwise, the presl- :
dent of the United States, with the ad- '
vice and consent of the senate, may 1
appoint a governor for the same and a 1
legislative council to consist of any
number of persons^ not lets than five,
nor more than twenty-five, whose aots
shall be subject to revision er repeal 1
by congress; and unless the treaty of i
annexation or cession shall otherwise <
provide, said governor and a council ‘
shall constitute and conduct all pro- (
visional governments, for suoh coun- t
try or place, until congress shall oth- <
erwise provide by law.” 1
Mr. Wilder, one of the Hawaiian 1
commissioners, was seen by a reporter, ^
while engaged in reading a copy of the <
bill. He said that, of course, he knew 1
nothing of the intention of Mr Mor- ;
gan to propose such a measure, nor of <
the views of the administration upon ]
the subject but it was exactly what |
the commissioners desired for the isl
ands if annexation were decided upon.
“We must have something of the
kind,” he continued. •-For the pres- ,
snt, at least there must be some pro- .
vision made by which the native pop- ]
ulation will be prevented from taking ]
bold of affairs and returning to the j
condition whloh obtained before the
revolution.” ' i
not on tno mils.
Washington, D. C., Fab. 9_There
were tome interesting and amusing in
cidents in the electoral count not re
corded in the official proceedings. The
jtrict rules of the house which govern
admission to the floor were suspended,
and one member, evidently not a
friend of female suffrage, remarked:
■The floor of the house looks as the
senate would look if the populists of
the western states eventually succeed
in electing women senators.”
The first break in the decorum of
the proceedings (not counting the
merely incidental applause which
greeted the announcement of the vote
of Illinois) occurred when Judge
Chipman of Michigan, evidently more
ramiliar with the names of the demo
cratic candidates tban with those of
the republican ticket proclaimed that
California had cast “one vote for
Wittylaw Reid for vice president.”
The ripple of laughter which greeted
this announcement was increased to a
roar when the vice president subse
quently gave Judge Chipman another
republican state to handle and he suc
ceeded in giving “Whitelaw” in two
lyllables instead of three. The curi
ous vote of North Dakota distributing
one to each of the candidates was
greeted with derisive laughter. When
the count was closed the great audi
ence dispersed quietly. One enthusi
astic individual in the gallery caused
tome slight merriment by waving a
targe sombrero and shouting: “Hur
rah for Grover Cleveland.” t
