Hat then he tins not agreed to become seal-
ix-r-goiieral to the tory pnrty. Gosrhou Is
unlimited with nil the ? eal of a convert , and
lid hai been rewarded with the safest seat
the conservatives -could give him. After
ing twice rejectcd-by liberal constituencies
Ids pHi'llamr'titary life depends entirely on
tln torlos. I do not believe there Is a
Hbcnil constituency In Knglaud which would
elect him to a seat in parliament a very high
nflleo , great honors and i'.l.lXM ) a year. The
lories hnvo poured all these good things lnto
his lap. Perhaps ho is a little too eager to
show that ho H not ungrateful. * Ho begins
to strike out wittily and to bore the audience.
This Is bad , considering that he Is to lead t-ho
house of commons whenever Air. Smith re
tires. It was to have been Mr. Hal four , but
It wan seen betimes that ho was not strong
enough for the place. Second thoughts sug
gested putting the slugger in for an interval.
If ho falls , the crowd will call for Half our.
There Is no ono else. Churchill will go to
sleep contentedly on the upper shelf where
ho has been put awiiy. Ko runs the pro-
grain mo.
The ministry arc In paradlso at present.
Not a misgiving disturbs their minds. I liavo
reason to bollevo that they liavo even given
Lord Hartingl-on to understand that his ad
mission to the cabinet is no longer demanded ,
either necessary oiMleslrable. That will give
you sonic ideu of the enormous coiilldenco
which the government hrts in Its future.
They are puttliigon a tremendous pressure to
slump out the fair trade heresy. Con
servatives known to bo attached to It tire
receiving all sorts of rough reminders that
party allegiance must bo considered before
all tilings. Several fair traders are members
of the ministry , among them Air. Hitchio ,
president ( if the local government board ,
Walter Long , Sir Ilcrbeit Maxwell , while
some people would include Lord Salisbury
himself. The leaven is fast getting into the
whole mass. This alarms the liberal unionists
ns well as conservative leaders , and the
prospect of a split brings out llery
remonstrances from the ministerial organs.
Yet the movement gain's strength , and if it
were not that the unionist question makes
people afraid , there would bo an ugly rush at
the fair trade position next session.
Alcnnwhile , I understand on good authority
that the sugar bounties commission has
already arrived at a fair understanding , and
that the bounty system is practically doomed.
This will bo good news for the planters in
the West Indies , who Imvo been ruined by
the wholesale importation Into England of
beet-root sugar. It cnn , oX course , bo bought
much cheaper here than in France , owing to
the bounty paid on its exportation by the
French government. Cano sugar is now
almost unknown here. If the boun
ties were removed the West Indian
sugar growers could compote with their rivals
oh equal terms , t am assured tlmt the for
eign deputies have consented to an arrange
ment which may lend to this result.
Sir Henry Holland spoke in somewhat
desponding strains lust , night at the lord
mayor's dinner , but , though the colonial
secretary , he knows nothing about what , is
going on. The secretary to the board of
trade presides at the conference , and ho is
fery sanguine thnt it will result in complete
success and thnt the declining sugar indus
tries of England will In consequence experi
ence a great revival. I have personally
conversed with some of the foreign deputies
and their statements fully conllrm whnt I
have heard from other sources. Success in
this matter would bring- the ministry great
popularity , . for there is general alarm at the
condition of many Industries , and this would
look like the tlrst step towards n change.
The profrreis of the United States under
protection is the frequent theme of articles
and speeches all over the country. Work-
injraien brood long and earnestly over the
quest uin. My opinion ii that they will decide -
cido eventually for protection , bnt they
wilt . not go . over to it alt
at once. They cannot quite

Another correspondent points that the so-
called cryptographic history embodied In
Shakespeare's plays , if Inserted by Uncoil ,
must Inwo been placed there In the A1S. The
llrst folio edition of the plays was published
by lleinlngo.t Condell , two of the bard's
fellow actors , In Id1.1 ; ) , suvon years after
Shakespeare's deathand the edition Is known
to bo full of errors. Words uro omitted or
transposed , and In some cases an entirely
wrong w'ord Is used. This being so , how can
it be possible to count correctly from any one
given Word to another !
Still another correspondent , referring to
the quotations given from Air. Donnelly's
work which contained passages from the
editor's prefatory note to the folio of HUH ,
observes : "John Hemlngo and Henry Con-
dell , In a letter prellxed to the llrst folio
edition published In IKA'I , say : 'Meforoyou
were abiisd with divers stolno and surrepti
tious copies maimed and deformed by the
stcalthols of Injurious Impostors thut exposed
them , oven these uro now olTured to your
view curd and perfect of their
limbs , mid nil the rest absolute In
their niimbors ns ho eouolved them.1
After this can liny reasonable man believe
these persons , hiseontomporarlcsand friends ,
this writing was either bribed or doeiovedJ
It Is neither probable nor possible. "
Frank Alarshall , co-editor with Henry
Irving of the now edition of Shakespeare's
works , the llr.st volnmo of which is Just
issued , is credited with saying , clmfllugly ,
when asked about the cryphtographie Idea :
"H is not every sort of bacon ami eggs that a
gourmand will swallow at oven an Knglisli

day returns to its forgery revelation. It
states that a letter purporting to have been
written by 1'riiieo Henry of IJeuss , the Ger

letter , it says , was among the documents
which Count SchouvalolT , by order of the
czar , submitted for the inspection of Ills-
marck The prineo of Houss denies having
any knowledge of the letter. The North Cier-
man ( Sazctte , In the course of a political re
view , says : "Hy reproducing verbatim char

The HatieaH Coi-piiH ( 'UNO I'rcHentciL
WASiiiMiToy , Dec. I. [ Speclnl Telegram
to the HKI : . ] Hon. (1. Al. Lambcrtson , of
Nebraska , appeared before the supreme
court of the United States this morning and
applied for leave to Illo an application for a
writ of habeas corpus on behalf of the mayor
and city council of Lincoln , now Imprisoned
In the Douglas county Jail at Omaha for con
tempt of court in disregarding mi Injunction
of Judge Hrewor , of the circuit' court of that
state. Under thn rule no oral argument was
allowed. The chief Justice announced that
ho would decldo the question at the opening
of court to-morrow. Air. Lambcrtson Illed
an elaborate brief In support of bis applied
tlon , the principal points of which were :
1. That a court cannot punish for contempt
when there Is no Jurisdiction to imiko the
order violated.
" , That a person embraced In a void Judg
ment or violation of an order beyond the
power of the court to make , will bo released
by writ ol habeas corpus ; and ,
! 1. That the circuit court in the case In
volved had no Jurisdiction.
In case an application for leave to Illo In
granted , a rulu will probably bo made requir
ing the attorney for the Lincoln police Judge ,
on whoso behalf the original Injunction was
granted , to show cause why the writ of
habeas corpus should not issue. In such
case tlio Judgment will probably bo made to
admit the parlies to ball pending the hearing
of the ease on Its merits. This will bo In the
nature of ; in order to the federal court at
Omaha requiring the admittaneo of the pris
oners to ball or an order from the supreme
court itself calling for the production of the
prisoners before it at Washington , when ball
will undoubtedly bo granted , The case has
excited great attention , as it will bring to a
determination , for the llrst time in the his
tory of the country , the relation of the fed
eral court to municipalities in states under
circumstances such us these involved , in the
case presented. If a writ of habeas corpus is
refused , Heprese.ntatlvc AlcSlmno will go to
President ClQvelaml with a petition signed by
the prisoners , the governor and others , and
ask for a pardon. _

WisniXdTo.v , ! ) ! . 1. [ Special Telegram
to the Hni : . ] Some of Iowa's congressmen
are quoted by the l'ost on tariff matters : "It
Is the duty of tlio 'democratic- majority , " says
Ucprcsontutlvo Kcrr , "to initiate whatever
measures of ways and means that may bo
necessary. The democratic party is in power
and responsible for the government of the
country. The republicans are powerless. As
a republican I cannot tell what I would do
regarding a democratic tariff bill until the
bill is produced. I suppose the tarilT eouljj
be revised In a way that would not injure the
industries of the country , and if the demo
crats should produce a bill to do that I know
of no reason wlfy > I , as u republican , should
oppose It. I will' ' not oppose nuy legislation
that I believe lobe good. In regard to the re
publican candidate for the presidency , I
have no doubt that It would be very grati
fying to Iowa to have Senator Allison nom
inated , and I have no doubt he would make a
good president , but what the party will do In
that regard remains for the national conven
tion to determine. "
Congressman C3ear said ho had not studied
the question as tO'how best to dispose of the
big surplus in the treasury and would not
talk on it. He was in favor of liberal ap
propriation for coast and habor defenses. Ho
also favored liberal pension bills and would
support another ono similar in character to
that vetoed last session.
"Although I am a protectionist out and
out , " said Representative Lyman , "I believe
something should bo done to reduce the tariff
and 1 would favor any measure looking to
that end. 1 would vote for putting sugar on
our list providing the Louisiana people were
given a bounty or ( .01110 recompense This
question has been changed lately by the
manufacturing of sugar from sorghum and it
looks as if wo can make in this country all
that is required. Kansas alone , if the ex
periments provo successful , could supply the
United States. I think the projiositlon for
the government to operate the telegraph
system of the country is a good one. 1 do
not fear centralization of | > ower. I believe in
a strong government. Although not a demo
crat , I believe the two wings of that parti-
will flap together ami reduce the tariff. " Air.
Lyman favors liberal appropriations for
coast and harl > or defenses and mi ht this
year vote for lilalne.

Palmer of | Mlclilgau , made n prohibition
speech at the consultation of the republican
leaders at Detroit Inst week has niudo him
an object of Interest among his senatorial
associates , Ilo said "It
to-day ! was only
nn Informal consultation und 1 did not imiko
u set speech , nor can I recall my oxnct
words , but what I said was that this ques
tion , which Is already u cloud oven larger
than a man's hand , Is soon to overshadow
the whole sky. 1 said that I believed In
taking up the gauntlet thrown down by the
lliiuor men , and as a party como out. on ono
side or the other of the question. Whenever
the republican party has been radical It has
been triumphant. Whenever the republican
party has asserted a great principle it has
always won , and the question now Is whether
we shall lead lit the prohibition movement or
como in at. the tall end of the procession
later. 1 bellovo that the .sentiment of the
republican party , or a great majority of It. Is
already In favor of adopting the prohibition
Issues at the state elections and that within
six years It will become a national Issue. "

1'imtiil Notes.
WASHINGTON , Dec. 1. The animal report
of Postmaster ficnoral Vilus for the llseul
year ending Juno 'M last , shows in detail the
operations of the postoflleo department , jind
the effort made to meet the demands of old
and new communities , especially so In the
west am ) southwest. The total receipts for
the year show a net gain over the preceding
year of IS10KH ( ) , wliilo the expenditures In
creased only ' 000,000.
Thus the dellciency charged upon the gen
eral treasury , which two years since was a
round .7,000,000 and a year ago but about
$ 70,000 less , has been reduced almost throe-
sevenths , while the fair augury from present
circumstances gives hope that during the
current year it will nearly if not entirely
disappear.
The appointments of postmaster * num
bered altogether duringtho ilscal year itoiP : ,
of which ( ) , Shl ( were to till vacancies happen
ing upon the expiration of commissions or
by resignation ; , ftS-t upon removals or sus
pensions ; oSlI by death , and ! ) , ( Mi ) to newly
established onie.es ,
The frco delivery system was cxtcntcd to
eight additional cities , Thcro was increase
in the whole number of pieces of mail matter
handled by carriers of l-l. Ill per cent , or
2s3,04I.O.'i7 pieces , the aggregate reaching
' . ' , 'jHri ; < i-llMi ( , the gain being in every class of
mail matter. The gross receipts on local
postage was ftt.ii'.U/J.Vl.tK ' ) .
The money order system yielded a revenue
of S'lfl.rciA.-in. The aggregate of domestic
orders issued was JlU.liOO.M ) ; international
orders , $ ' .MK.V ! > 'iO.il : ; postal -notes , $ ll,7i > i , -
y.M.bl. There were only forty-seven money
orders improperly paid during the year out
of a total of P.M. I.V.I orders paid.
In railroad transportation there was an in
crease of 7010 miles of newly built roads ,
principally in the central western states. The
actual cost of all railroad transportation was
WsUiH.HXUy.1 , nearly a million dollars less
than the previous year.
The special delivery system has not in
creased much. There were l,2.Vooo article' *
delivered. The service Is desirable to some ,
and as it imposes no cost on the government ,
the | Hhtmaster general is in favor of its re
tention.
The entire weight of foreign mail matter
handled was a.UTv-MO jtounds.
Newspai > erh furnish one-third of the weight
and bulk of the mads and pay olio-fortieth of
the revenue. .
There are ls"il dorks employed In the rail
way mail service over U1H lines ami 110,1109
miles of road. The disunities to clerks in
their ix'riloiis service were very numerous
and dlstresiinif. Five were killed by acci
dents while on duty. forty-Jive were seriously
and seventy-two slightly injured. Fifty were
disabled to such an extent that their phwes ,
were tilled for it time by acting clerks at the
department's e i t. Congress M urged to
make suitable provision for its disabled em
ployes.

quarantine and no cattle allowed to leave
them without a permit issued after special
examination. Tlio commlxslohcr c.\pres es
regret at the unavoidable loss Inlllcted on the
farmers of Illinois by the cattle quarantlno
and adds : "There has hot boon a time In

lined to such restricted UITIH as at proMMit ,
and consequently conditions are very favor
able for Its complete eradication by the cud
of the next llscal year , provided congress

The commissioner says experiments ! m sllk-
rcellng liavo not yet reached the point of pay
ing expenses , but that was hardly to be hoped
for with a plant so limited. Another year's
experience , II Is expected , will xhow What
could bo done under factory conditions.
The commissioner describes the work of
the entomological , statistical , microscopical ,
forestry ami other divisions and recom
mends that the public printer bo
authorlml to furnish to thoagrlcullutal press
of the country , at the cost of labor and mate-
rlalf electrotypes of such Illustrations of the
department as tholr editors may deslro ; hold
ing that many of these merit n much wider
circulation than they get Inti.f reports of the
department. The commissioner suyii the
building of reservoirs among the Kochv
mountains for storage of tno Immense volume -
umo of water mnv wasted , should command
the early attention of congress.

tional banks organised up to the illst of Oc
tober is il.MCi , of which IMS liavo gouo Into

leaving In operation at that date . ' 1,1X11. The
total number of new banks opened durine the

represented by bonds. Very full stutlstlcs
liavo been collected about stale bunks , sav
ings banks , loan and trust companies , and
private banks and bankers throughout the
country. The suggestions made by the
comptroller as to amendments to laws
are set forth at considerable
length. The most important clmngo recom
mended Is that the minimum amount of
bonds to bo deposited us security for circula
tion shall be 111 per cent of the capital of
banks of not , over > .riOHX ( ) ami * 2riHKI ( for
banks of which the cafiital exceeds $ ' , ' . " ( iHK ( ) .
Ho also recommends that national bank notes
bo counted as a part of the lawful reserve of
banks. The existing provisions of the law as
to the responsibility of oOlecrs and directors
of banks are modilled so as to avoid existing
obstacles to their prompt and certain enforce
ment. Restriction upon banks as to making
loans in excess of 111 per cent of tholr capital
to any one party is modlllcd in respect to
loans upon collateral security and the total
limit Is raised to 'M per cent of c.ipital und
surplus. The provision as to state taxation
of national banks is also modlllcd.

"II is Hlinpl.v u diabolical plot to wreck my

of any repntablo paper would lend himself to
Hueh a Heheine. Any editor who , would lend
himself to such n Kchemo as that is no mow

It Is all of a pleeo ofatho treatment 1 hiivu re
ceived ever since my lumlmml'H death. They
Hlmpl.v want to rob me of my property , ami
they liavo never ceased scheming to do so
Hluro my husband died , and before it. They
commenced when J was iinablo to attend to
any business , but had to devote m.v whole
time to nursing my husband in his Illness , t
devoted evijry moinent of m.v life , night anil
day , to nursing him through his lust Illness ,
and while I was thus employed they worn
scheming night mid day how they could do-
prlvo mo of m.v property , and how they
could destroy it , They discharged all my
friends from the Malf of the paper , anil
brought buck franc Wllkie , wlininAlr. Storey
discharged some ycarHbofore. They brought
him back and gave him a salarj of"ii ( a week ,
lust because they' knew ho was m.v enemy.
They lllled all the places on the paper with
m.v enemies , and did everything they could
to depreciate the vuliiu of the pnper. It is
simply inlamous , the treatment ami persecu
tion 1 liavo received. Why Hliould I bo
treated hi such u manner Who would Air.
Storey leave His properly to , If not to mot
lie was most devoted to me while he lived '
"Yes , " Mild a lady visitor who wax present
during the Interview , "Air. Storey has told
mo that he Just worshipped the ground oil
which Airs. Storey tread. "
"And 1 worshiped him next to m.v God , ' '
continued Airs. Storey. " 1 am sure 1 do
nut know why these people should persecute !
mo BO. ' ( 'heir treatment of mo. him been
simply infamous all through. "
"You deny , then , thut any such anorusurci
has been madot"
"Why , of course 1 do. Such a charge is
simply infamous. 1 can not conceive hoxv
anyoiio could be so diabolical as to make it "
"liavo you seen the article in this morn-
inp's Tribune ! "
"No , 1 have not , and 1 cannot understand
bow any respectable paper would make suolv
u charge , "
"Well , it is alleged that the discovery of
the erasure was made by u mysterious gen
tleman In the ofllce of the probate court. "
How could nuy mysterious gentleman pin (
access to the will in the olllco of the probate
court ? I am astonished that such vaUmhlu
papers should be allowed to be around there
so that any mysterious gentleman could liavo ,
access to them. Do jou know , Judge TnmlV
bull told mo at the tlrst that he was afraid to
allow those papers out of his posscssum Ho
was afraid tiiey would disappear. He be
lieved they would try to steal them. It IH
simply infamous , the way in which 1 liavo
been treated. They have used all maiua-r vf
means to wreck my property and prevent mo
selling to advantage. 1 went to Judge Tully ,
and wanted to have the present recei\.r removed
moved , and ho promised tip rmi vo
him , but Mr. Ooudy and the
receiver afterward went and saw .ludro
Tully. and then he refused to do so , ami n.-xv
even my nephew cannot set foot in tin oilil

though. A man who was formerly m > law
ycr is nt the bottom of alt this trouble \ \ hra
he found that I had no more use for his srr-

'The Tribune article hints that the < l srcv-

"Well , I do not know anything about t ! nt.
