Springer Is extremely anxious , for some
unexplained reason , for the organization of
the territory of Oklahoma. Tills is the first
territorial measure on tlio calendar of the
liouso , nml Springer expects to win friends
to Us support by promising to compromise on
Dakota. The only peculiar thltiR about this
bill is tlio absolute refusal of those who nro
crowding it most strenuously , to listen to
nuicmttncntB providing for taking up the
lands within tlio proposed territory under
tlio liomostcnd net. All of it. must bo sold
under the cash entry plan , and it Is this that
lends those not in Mr. Springer's ' conlldcnco
to believe tlmt thcro is n largo sized African
Bomowhcrc In this particular woodpile. In
fact , It is charged very plainly In sotno quar
ters that the Oklahoma bid In its present
form Is the dovicoof the cattle syndicate to
secure titles to a vast area of tlio most valua
ble grazing lands in the United Status , nt u
mere nominal figure , and Itmust bo admitted
that this chat-go seems to bo berne out by the
determination of Mr. Springer mid bis asso
ciates to deny actual settlers the right , to take
up homesteads in this desirable section of tbo
United States.
ADMISSION' < F TniilllTOHIEi.
Congressman \Vlllmm M. Springer , chair
man of the committee on territories , Is In a
much better fnirno of mind towards Dakota ,
than ho has been at tiny time before , or
Binco be was elevated to the chairmanship on
tlio important committee , over which bo
presides. Mr. Springer now thinks that the
territories of Washington , Montana and New
Mexico should be admitted to statehood , nml
that Dakota should also come in. Mr.
Springer goes so far , as to say that ho does
not believed tlmt the scnato will consent tote
to tbu admission of the otho : s , unless Dakota
is divided and tliat bo is willing to compromise -
premise on iiny reasonable terms. As there
nro a number of democrats who are willing
lo vote for a division of Dakota , if tlio oppor
tunity is offered them , it is probable that
that territory may receive her just deserts ,
which have been so long denied her.
HKNDRKSON TALKS.
Representative Henderson of Iowa is a
fellow-townsman of Senator Allison , one of
Ills most intimate friends , and was ids per-
Bonal representative and spokesman at the
Chicago convention. I asked him to-day
whether ho thought the senator would ac
cept a position ia Harrison's cabinet.
"Ho would accept nothing but the treas
ury , " replied Henderson , "and even then it
would depend upon Clarkson'H ' wishes. If
ClarlcBon wants to go into tlio cabinet , Alii-
non will decline in his favor. Alli.son would
rather have Clarkson in the cabinet than bo
there himself. Hut Clarkson lias always
told bib friends mul nas said to mo many
times , that ho did not wish any ofllco what
ever , and that ho would prefer to run bis
paper : still you never can tell. If Harrison
Khonld invite him to take a portfolio , bo
might change his mind. Jt is pretty certain ,
though , that , if Iowa is represented In the
next cabinet , cither Allison or Chirlj.son will
bo the man , and Clarksou can determine
Which it shall bo. "
Senator Allison arrived this evening , but
declined to say anything about bis visit at
Indianapolis. Ho remarked , however , that
more had been published already about it
than had actually occurred.
Senator Quay has gene homo to spend
Thanksgiving , and It is understood will visit
Indianapolis before ho returns to Washing

MAJOH IIOUBKIi'S CHANCES.
The Star says : The staff vacancies in the
army which nro awaiting the president's
nctlon continue to bo a subject of specula
tion In army circles , and there is great un
certainty about the coming appointments ,
except one , and that is the successor of tbo
late Major Furnsworth in the inspector gen
eral's olllce. It is considered almost as good
ns settled that Captain John G. Hour ho , of
the Third cavalry , will bo the man. Ho was
sueli a close second to Captain Lnwton in the
recent appointment , that it is thought hardly
likely that ho can bo passed by ugain. It is
said that his conceded ability , and the favor
in which ho Is held generally , makes him a
leader in the race. Ho Is on duty In the war
department.

THE OMAHA DIVIDEND.
JIoMoi'H or Preferred Stock Much In-
toroNtcd in the Coining Meeting.
NEW YOIIK , Nov. 28. There Is much specu
lation in rail way circles as to what action the
Omaha company will takeat Its approaching
meeting In reference to Its [ preferred stock.
A dispatch was received yesterday by u Wall
street bouse from Chicago , in which it Is
Btatud that the belief Is that the Omaha people
ple- have been selling the stock , and that It Is
asserted that the company has not earned
nny dividend and will not pay any. Oflluials
of the company , however , talk very differ
ently , and u news agency says "ofllcially"
this morning that the company has earned
end will pay u dividend. Hut this does not
remove the fear that a full dividend will not
bo paid. The same agency this morning sent
out tbo following statement : "One fact
wliloh may not be generally known may bo
worth recording nt this time. It is that at
the meeting of the stockholders some months
ago It wus decided by unanimous resolution
tlmt In-cose the regular dividend was not
earned the oQlcurs could take mtfllclcnt from
the proceeds on land sales to make up the
difference. So after all , the regular divi
dend may bo forthcoming. "

Distinguished PoliticianMnko a Fly
Inc Trip to Indlapnpolifl.
IsniANAt'oi.is , Nov. 23. Every day now
witnesses the arrival of a fresh batch of
distinguished statesmen and politicians , mak
ing their pilgrimage to the big bricK , fence
less bouse on Delaware avenue. Among the
president-elect's visitors this forenoon were
Senator C. 11. Farwelt nnd General Martin ,
chairman of the Illinois republican central
committee. They came from Chicago on an
early train , and were accompanied by Colonel
Fred Grant. The party tnado n very hasty
trip , driving out to General Harrison's Im
mediately after breakfast , remaining with
him about half an hour. On return
ing they went directly to the depot ,
embarking for Chicago nt 11:15. They moved
with such alacrity that the newspaper cor
respondents had to throw out picket guards
so nt to capture them , only to find them ns
dumb as oysters on all cabinet themes or
presidential policies.
Senator Fnrwcll did state , however , that
they bad not come to offer nny suggestions
regarding the cub I not , or to discuss any ques
tions regarding the policy of the admlnistra-
tion. Ho admitted that their mission had
reference to local Chicago and Illinois poli
tics , and did not go beyond that. What
names , If any , Senator Farwcll and General
Martin suggested to tlio president-elect for
the big Chicago federal olllces , neither of
the visitors would Indicate , and General
Harrison , when mildly solicited to drop a line
In this direction , only smiled and referred
his tormentors to the visiting statesmen for
sucli information.
Colonel Grantinformcdtho correspondents
that bis visit had no connection whatever
with politics ; that he had taken no part in
the political matters discussed between Sen
ator Farwcll. General Martin and the presi
dent-elect. Ho said ho had been visiting his
friends in Chicago , nnd simply took this
opportunity to run down and person
ally congratulate General and Mrs , Harrison.
Ho had man.Y good words for General Harrison
risen , and predicted that ho would give the
country a grand ur.d liberal administration.
Senator Fill-well , In tolling bis Impression
of General Harrison , remarked that ho hadu
"big head nnd u close mouth. "
Tlio evening tram from Cincinnati brought
two distinguished pilgrims from Ohio in the
persons of Hon. M. A. liana , of Cleveland ,
and Congressman Hen. Huttorworth , of Cin
cinnati. They hold n conference with the
prcoident-cleet nt7tO : ! this evening , remain
ing In consultation a couple of hours. The
well Known Intimate relations of both
gentlemen with Senator John Sherman con
tributes much interest to their visit , and lends
color to the theory that the president-elect is
making something of a study of the Intri
cacies of Ohio politics , but to what purpose
can only be conjectured.
General Harrison , up to date , has had ono
mountain named for him , two big gas wells , a
new variety of apples and forty-four babies.
Mrs. Harrison held her llrst weekly
Wednesday afternoon reception to-day , as
sisted by her daughter , Mrs. MclCeo , and her
guest , Mrs. Brown , daughter of ox-Senator
Davis , of West Virginia. Among the ladles
who paid their respects were Mrs. Denny ,
wife of Mayor Denny : Mrs. Hnlford , wife of
Private Secretary Halford , accompanied by
Mrs. Everett Chamberlain , of Milwaukee ,
and many others.

the Hlllsdalo banker , who docampad two
months ago , taking with him Mrs. Bidwell
and $100,003 , reached Now York Monday , nnd
will at once come to Michigan. Immediately
upon arriving in New York Waldron depos
ited § 10,000 with the United Suites National
bank to the credit of Preston and the Third
National bank of this city , and apprised'
them of the fact by telegraph. It will be re
membered that Waldron. when he left , was
accompanied by Mrs. indwell , who remained
with him several weeks. Ho deserted her at
Montreal , then crossed the ocean , and was
next beard of in Paris , where bo cut a wide
swath. Ho notiilcd parties in Detroit that
ho wanted to return , and arrangements were )
perfected whereby his wishes wore gratified.
Ho comes prepared to pay all his Indebted
ness. Waldron says that his escape was all
due to his desire to punish his partner , E. S.
ICoon. Waldron's wife agreed to a separa
tion on the payment of $15,000 , bat Waldron
says Keen persuaded her to demand $100-
000.

Mutson a nd the G , A. R.
WASIII.NOTON , Nov. 27. Referring to the
published statement that Congressman Matson -
son Is believed to bo at the head of the move
ment to organize a democratic G. A. R. , that
gentleman says that ho knows nothing ex
cept what he has read In the newspapers ,
and consequently ho is not at the h'ead or
any other part of the affair. The other state
ment in the dispatch that his friends
expect him to follow General Palmer's
course , and withdraw from the G. A. R. , ho
says , is also without foundation. Ilo never
was a member of the organization , and there
fore cannot withdraw. During the cam
paign Matson's regiments of veterans were
formed In every county in Indiana , nnd it is
probable that these organizations form the
basis of the now movement in that state , but
of this bo cannot speak by authority.

Objnctn of tlic Clearing HOURO.
Ciitcioo , Nov. 28. It was ascertained to
day that the plan which lias been made pub-
Ho of forming n huge railroad combination In
the territory west of Chicago and St. Louis ,
with n clearing house , for competitive busi
ness and to control rates , after all Is only ono
of the plans that was considered at the New
York conferences , nnd Is not the one that
was formally adopted. The plan that re
ceived 'tho most favor , In fact , wa a much
stronger form of a ngrcemcnt in the restric
tion it bears to the use of the rate making
power. .1. W. Midgley , who was present at
the confeicnco in the capacity of an advisor ,
said to-day that this plan is one of several
that were considered. "I am paiitivo that It
will not bo adopted , for the reason that it
is not strong enough for the purpose
for which it was intended. Aside
from the arbitration feature , it is but
little different from the agreement
of the western freight association. This
talk about trusts , as applied to such an airrec-
mcnt , IB the sheerest nonsense. The truth
Is that the railroads have bccotno desperate
at the prevailing condition of affairs. Some
thing must be done , or they will bo driven to
the wall. The meeting ut Now York repre
sented the final resort of these roads. It was
cotnpoBed of men who own the property , and
who believe it should yield some returns.
They were determined , if possible , to save
the railroads from bankruptcy. The Inter
state law prohibits pooling arrangements ,
and of course it was necessary to iloviso
some other means of checking demoraliza
tion.
tion.AVhcn
AVhcn asked if there was nny movement on
foot to petition congress for a repeal of the
interstate law , ho said that no such move
ment has taken shape , as yet , and no
appeal will bo made to tbo present
congress. It Is not regarded as the most
favorable time to present such a measure , be
tween two administrations.
The projectors of the now scheme for the
maintenance of rates , Mr. Midgley said ,
were agreed upon ono point , and that was
that tlio subordinate olllccrs of railroads
must bo deprived of the rate-making power ,
and that any assumption of this power must
be punished by dismissal. Before the plan
was completed it was submitted to the presi
dents of some of the Important western
lines. Favorable replies have been returned
by the presidents of the Union Pacific , the
Stickney system and the Chicago , Milwaukee )
& St. Paul , while President Cable , of the
Rock Island , has gene to Now York to per
sonally express his views on the subject.
President Marvin Hughitt , of the Chicago
& Northwestern , was asked to-day if he was
favorable to the scheme. Ho replied :
"I know nothing about it , except what I
have read In the" newspapers , . I am not pre
pared to say anything as to its merits or as
to the probability of its being adopted. The
Chicago & Northwestern has not been repre
sented at any conference , nor has it bcdn
consulted on the question of a now agree
ment. We are at present parties to the
agreement of the Western Freight associa
tion , and also to the passenger agreement ,
and have no present intention of going into
any other. Wo shall certainly not go into
any now plan until wo bavo thoroughly con
sidered it. "
Vice President Stone , of the Chicago , Bur
lington & Quincy , said ho had paid little at
tention to the proposed scheme , and , us ho
had not been consulted in regard to it , thcro
was nothing for him to say on the subject.
It seems probable that if the Trainers of the
plan fall to unite , all the roads west , north
west and southwest of Chicago , the agree
ment will go Into effect west of the Missouri
river , since tlio Southern Pacific , Union Pa
cific , Missouri Pacific and Atchison are all in
accord with the movement , nnd they practi
cally control the territory. Mr. Midgloy says
ho has called no meeting to consider the
matter , as the proposed plan is not com
pleted.

PLEADING FOR lllill SON.

SrinxoFir.i.D , 111. , Nov. 23. Mrs. M. L.
Rawson , of Chicago , made her third trip to
Springfield yesterday to beseech Governor
Oglesby to pardon her son , Willie Leo , now
in prison at Joliet , for shooting Banker Raw-
son. It is behoved she made little progress.
Her counsel hero Is authority for the state
ment that she fully expected she would bo
able to move the governor to action so that
the young man might reach homo for Thanks
giving dinner , and that when she urged this
vigorously the governor indicated that If she
insisted on an immediate decision he would
decide the case now. but that perhaps it
would bo better to submit additional facts.
The inference drawn from this wus that an
immediate decision upon the case ns it stands
would probablj not be favorable. Mrs. Haw-
son , therefore , had to leave without a pardoner
or a promise that one .would soon bo forth
coming.

THE CHICAGO DYNAMITERS ,
Second Day's Proceedings of the
Hronok Trial.
EVIDENCE FOR THE STATE ALL IN.
The Defendant Takes tlio Stand nnd
Slakes n SwocpliiR Denial of
All tlio Charges Mndo
Against Him ,
Hronck's Trial.
CntOAQO , Noy ; 23. The criminal court
room was Crowded this morning toho'n
Hronok's trial was resumed. The first wit
ness was cue of Inspector Honfleld's ' Hobo-
mlnn detectives , Ho gave tbo Jury the de
tails of the confession made by Hronck after
his arrest. After the conspirators had been
fockcd up in jail the detectlvo visited Hronck
In bis coll. Hronok bad a newspaper in his
hand. " 1 bavo just been reading hero , " ho
said , "that some of the people who were ar
rested with mo arc giving things away and
putting all the blame on mo. Now I am
going to toll the whole truth. " The detective
then arranged n meeting between Hronck ,
Inspector Uonlleld and a stenographer in tlio
llbrarypf tbo jail.
Hronok first said many of the bombs found
In Llugg's ' possession wcro made by a man
named Schneider. Schneider also made the
bombs which lie ( Hronck ) had. The dynn-
mlto which Hronok had In his hotuosomo 120
sticks , he got from n man named Knrailat.
Witness testified about going to a house
in company with Mrs. Hronck and the de
livery of dynamite and bombs by her to the
ofllcers. Cross-examination brought out tlio
statement that Hronek bad said that there
was considerable Indignation about the exe
cution of Spies and his companions , and ho
wanted to avenge their death. . Hronek said
it was his intention to harm Honllcld and
Judges Gary and Grinnell , but bo refused to
say now. Ho said , however , that ho did not
want to bring nny ono else Into the affair ,
but would undertake the job alone if the
others would pav him for it.
Onicer Slmlncf testliled that , on July 22 ,
in the state's attorney's ofllco , in an addi
tional statement , Hronek said that Chauck
told him that tbo German anarchists
wanted to start a ilro in the city
to avenge the death of Spies ; Chapek had
also given him some bombs because , as
Chapek said , bo was too well known to u&o
them ,
The fact was brought out at this point that
Hronek's statements , though reduced Jo
writing , were not signed , and were therefore
valueless as evidence. Police Inspector Hon-
tlcld was then called , nnd gave testimony as
to his own personality and the personalities
of Judges Grinnell and Gary , against wlioao
lives thft plot was laid. Ho also told of the
first information which ho had received
of the plot from cx-Justlco Fisher ,
to whom Chloboun had conilded , and
the subsequent arrest of the conspirators.
Honflold showed the jury ono of the
bombs which was found in Hronek's posses
sion. Ho said that ono of them had been ex
ploded In a shed on the prairie mid had blown
the shed to splinters. The state rested Its
case after tbo defense bud cross-examined
Inspector Hontleld.
For the defense Hronek was put on the
stand. Ho denied that he was an anarchist ,
and said he had never been ono. lie had
never belonged to nn anarchistic society , and
did not think there was such a thing in exis
tence. Ho then made a sweeping denial of
the truth of Chloboun's ( the informer ) story.
Witness had always expected that Chloboun
was playing a bad part. Ho denied , also ,
that ho was present at the Huymarket riot ,
and , as ho had never been harmed by Bon-
field , Gary or Grinnell , lie had no reason for
seeking revenge on them , nor did he over
do so. He explained the alleged visit to
Grlnnell's bouse by saying that on
July 4 Chapek and Chleboun asked him to go
to the lake , where they would take a bath.
On the way over Cbleboun said ho had heard
that Grinnoll lived in a pretty park , and
suggested going to ace it. Then it was that
the witness suspected Chloboun was going to
sell him out. They walked around the yard ,
but never said anything about revenge.
Karafiat , ho said , left a boy of bombs and
dynamite nt the witness' house in October ,
1SSO , and never returned for it. After a
while the witness grew afraid and threw
llftccn of them in the river.
After a short cross-examination adjourn
ment was taken until Friday.
WKSTEIIN PACKING INTEHESTS.

CINCINNATI , Nov. 23. [ Special Telegram
to TUB BEI : . ] To-morrow's Price Current
will say : Fourteen prominent packing points
in the west b'avo handled 330,000 hogs during
the week , against 435,000 for the correspond
ing week last year. These places have packed
since November 1,005,000 , , against 1,415,000
last year , Other packing probably about
equals the corresponding time last year , and
the quality of hogs now being packed Is gen
erally fine and the weight averages heavy ,
It appears unreasonable to expect much de
pression in values from present figures , ail
things considered , for with the increased
slaughtering later will come the enlarged
call from curers , who have been operating

Holdsworth gave this account of the roman
tic circumstances which brought about his
flrst marriage : Disappointed In not meeting
a certain young lady , ho began drinking.
Toward evening ho saw two attractive young
ladies at n distance , and threw up a penny to
decide which one ho should ask , then and
there , to bo his wife. The face of the cent ,
face up , decided bun on "the little one. " Ho
boldly went forward to claim his prizo. The
young ladles naturally resented his sudden
attentions. He persisted , however , and suc
ceeded in seeing them homo. The "little
one , " in time , became bis wife and the
mother of all his children. To complete this
unusual chapter , the girl won through the
toss of a penny bore exactly the same name
as the ono whom be bad failed to meet ,

society received another distressing aho'cU
to-day by the announcement that the holr 01
Sir Robert Walpole , the celebrated prlmo
minister ot the llrst and second Quorgoa.
and the future Earl of Oxford , had bceu
sued for broach of promise. The case was
called in the queen's bench division.
The plaintiff , Miss Vnllery Wiedetiinnn ,
brought suit iignlnst Captain Robert Horuoo
Walpolo for broach of premise and for libel ,
claiming $10,000 damages. Not many ninths
ago Captain Wulpolo and Miss Corbln ,
an American lady , were quietly mar
ried In Paris , and from subsequent
events it Is presumed that the affair was cou *
ducted privately owing to Miss Wleilamnunt
who avowed her Intention of malting trouble *
for the groom , The prlnulpul wltuus * to-dnvu
was Miss WliHlemann herself. She 16 E ?
bright , fresh looking blundo , daughter of w *
North German pastor , nnd n person of oda
cation and rcllned manners. Although subf
Jected to sharp Interrogations , sbo told heft
story In an Impressive manner. She testi
fied that Captain Walpolo mot her In 18S3
at Constantinople , where she was employed'
as a governess. Ho met her at dinner
ono night and madeher acquaint
anco. Much against lior will ,
ho paid her marked attention fet
several days after that , and Hnally asked her ,
to marry him , at the same time forcibly kissIng -
Ing her and site angrily left him. When she
returned from the opera that night she did
not notice that tbo bolt catch on her bed room
door had been removed. She sat at an open
window tt few minutes before she know that
Walpolo was at her side. She ordarod hlni
from the room and tried to ring the servants'
boll , but ho forcibly restrained bar. Afton
convincing her that ho loved her sincerely ho
finally accomplished his purpose.
Next evening ho dined with her , nnd as an
earnest of his intentions he placed his signet )
ring on her linger. She has It now. Then
Captain Walpolo made repeated attempts to
recover it. Next day ho persuaded her to go
to Cannes , and gave her $100. Arriving
there , she met bis mother. When she upoUo
of her engagement Mrs. Walpole told hpr
that the captain was only a friend ; that hq
would bo ruined If ho did not marry n rlcb.
girl. Mrs. Walpolo contrived to have bet
put out of the hotel. Captain WnlpolJ (
then sent a friend , Cnptain Darlington ,
to Her to take her to Paris , where ho proiu *
ised to meet her. At Paris Walpolo wrote
her to meet him in Hcrlin , but when she ar
rived thcro she found that ho had no inten
tion of meeting her. Then she went to her
brother-in-law's in Germany , whore berchlld
was born , In June , 1SS3.
Witness admitted by implication that wncn
she heard of Captain Walpolc's intended mar-
rlaco she sent to Miss Corbin tbo following
note :
"I shall meet you ono day and you will boa *
my curse to the d d end of your existences
Tills for marrying a man you bavo no rigbt
to marry. "
The case will bo continued to-morrow.
Captain Walpolo will deny the promise , and ,
plead that if It wcro made it was In Turkey ,
where no action is maintainable. He claims
that the signet ring was stolen , and that &
letter which ho wrote accusing her of the
theft is the basis for the action for llbolj
which Walpolo will plead as a privilege.
