Wcctorn senators express amusement nt
the haste of the house of representatives to
throw a sop to tlio tciritories seeking ndniis-
fi'wn. Senator PadJock said to day , " 1 do
not think the democratic caucus Is sincere.
If It is , Its action would not stay the tide of
resentment , whicli democratic treatment of
nil western Interests lias created in the west.
The ciiine against Dakota has been peipe-
tratcd nnd will stand ns committed. It can
not at this late day be glossed over by the
men who recogni/e that its commission hud.
much to do with the late westein uprising
against further democratic ascendency In
the national councils. Dakota and her
neighbors know that it Is only dun to rcpub
licnn victory Unit they owe this sudden con
version of the democracy to the view tint
the denial of statehood , on puioly partisan
grounds , to territories fully entitled to saeh
recognition , was at le ist a political mistake.
I imagine that a republican scimto and a ic-
publican house will pass a bill giving all ter
ritories entitled to a position on the roll of
mates , their full rights and that it will bo
signed by a rcnublican president. "

The senators and iopieentitives from
Iowa aio receiving a gro it many suggestions
concerning the oflleos to bo filled by Presi
dent Harrison after the 1th of March next ,
and there seems to bo no doubt that Iowa
Will bo on hand to got her share. Under the
last administration this state had a number
of prominent bureau oflh era in Washington ,
nnd will probably have quite as many under
the next. General Tuttle , the man who
created such a disturbance atiout Cleveland
at the Grand Army of the Republic meet
ings , Is a candidate for the commissioner of
pensions , and is backed by Mr. Clarkson
General Faiichilds , of Wisconsin , is also a
candidate , and has very strong Inlluence at
work. For each of the loc.il olllccs in the
state there nro a number of candidates.
Colonel Dick Rout , of Keokuk , who
was United States marshal under
the last republican administration ,
wants the place again , but it will probably
go to somebody else in the northern pirt of
the state , and he will bo consoled with the
postoflico nt ICeolnik. The pension agenci in
Iowa has never been filled bv a soldier , Jake
Itlch , the last incumbent , being , however , a
very popular man. Hut this ycni the Giaml
Army demands it , and it will go to Tuttle , if
ho is not appointed tommisMoncrof pensions.
Another candidate is S A. Marieii , editol of
the Yiutoii Observer , who is an old soldier ,
mid lacks a leg that he lost at Atlanta
Thomas Hodges , of IJurlington , is av * active
candidate for United States district attorney ,
nnd will probably get the appointment.
- The now postmaster general will have no
trouble finding some one to till the postollleo
nt Uurlington , for James Martin , J. L. Wart ,
Dr. Holliday , James Ft nine , C. U. Clapp and
several other gentlemen have signltled their
Willingness to accept the appointment.

Representative Bymmi , of Indiana , one
of the most active democratic mem
bers of the comntitteo on ways and means ,
Bald this afternoon : "Congress will un
doubtedly take a two-week's ' holiday recess ,
from Filday of next week to Friday the 4th
of January. "
'No , It does not look as though the re
publican tariff bill will come over to the
house fiom the senate before very late iu
January , and I do not think It will got to a
vote in the house , oven though it Is promptly
rsportod fiom the committee on ways and
means. It will take almost every day of the
cession to pass the appropriation bills , after
the holidaj s , and ut least n fortnight would
1)0 required to discuss the republican substi
tute for the Mills bill , after it comes up In
the house ; so , that if for no other reason , the
bill cannot come to n final vote because there
will not bo time to consider It. It would be
folly to think of suspending the rules and
placing it upon Its passage. "
"Tho only thing I have heard of n free
tobacco bill 1 have seen In the newspapers.
The committee Is doing nothing about it.
Some man may upon individual suspension
day. nnd upon his own volition , move to sus
pend the rules and pass such a bill , and ho
may succeed. I bollovo the house will pass n
bill giving statehood enabling acts to North
and South Dakota , Washington , Montana
nnd Now Mexico territories , but all wilt have
to hold elections and conventions and adopt
constitutions , and Dakota will Imvo to ar
range for a division of her territorial indobt-
ncER IfshulniH any. That question made
the Yhginlnns a great deal of trouble. "

white hoiiBo with n favorable repbrt from
Commissioner lihiek , and assurances that
there would bo no obstacle Iii Us way , the
senator was greatly annoyed to discover that
the pension hud failed to receive thu execu

the bill and push It to a passage.

It will bo his own. Ho is an Intellectual , in

A Scandalous How In n St. Pnul
Ituptlst Churcli.
Sr PAI-I , . Dec -Special [ Telegram to
Tun Hnn ] The congregation of the Hebron
Unptlst church on the west side is all torn
up by a good , old fashioned , scandal-tipped
church row. H is nil about Mrs Holster ,
the same Mrs. Holster who cultivated no
toriety by horso-whloping n real estate mag
nate live jcars ago. That happened on
Dayton's Hluffs , where the Holsters hiu'
purchased a homo from the agent , nnd Mrs.
Holster said the reason she whipped him was
because he hud Insulted her one nftcrnoon
when ho called to collect the monthly pay
incut on the house. Mr. nml Mrs H > lstcr
Imvo been members of the Hebron H.ipttst
church , but , having moved to Mississipu
street , asked for letters to the First Haptist
church. Rev. Gamble , pastor of the Hebron
church , called a meetinir ot the committee
whicresolved to give Mr. Holster a letter
nnd expel Mrs Holstor. The loiters to Mr
and Mis. Holster were sent in the s.iuiu en-
\elop ,
This started nn Insurrection , which cam
to n climax at tlin pra\cr meeting last night
Men said bitter tilings and shook their list' '
in each others faces , nnd women sereamci
and 01 led and fainted. Mr. Holster arose
wirh a big lump in his thrmit and said : "I
don't want to tight this church , but 1 want
Justice for my wife. Chaiges have beei
made against her characU-r and she ha
been put out of the church without n hear
ing. Theie has got to bo a trial and the
truth of these charges proved , or it will bo
the worse for the men that make them. I
nnl.\ want a fair show. 1 nsk this for my
own sake , my wife's sake , nnd for the sake
of our little children "
Then Rev Gamble , looking straight nt
Mrs. Hulster , said : "Ifou , were not a hold ,
bad woman of the wrld , you would npt have
the eft ronterv to come bore and demand
trial nftei sinning as jou have. "
Shaking his clenched fist under the
preacher s nose , Mr Holster said : "You
miserable cur ! If jou don't make this right
with my wife I will tane the matter into mv
own hands , and jou shall pa\ for it dearly. '
When Holster called Gamble a miserable
cur Noah Dcikc , Mrs. Holster's brother ,
struck Gamble with n poker. A genera !
melee ensued , during which pandemonium
reigned , lists were used freely and clothes
torn promlseiously.
This caused an uproar , and the meeting
bioko up uncoiemoniously without so mucl
as a benediction. Mrs. Holster MIJS the
trouble is the result ol the vlndictiveness ol
her half brother , Charles Vails , whom her
husband incontinently tired out of his house
for refusing to paj a uoaid bill of $40. Rev.
Gamble has tendeied his resignation , to takt ,
olToct January 1. Mrs. Holster says Vailes
has n family at Springfield , 111. , but ho has
ropiosontod to the church members that he
is a bachelor.

BISMABCTC , Dak. , Dec. 14. [ Special Tele
gram to Tin : Hnc J ThCftDalcota statehood
movement is assuming new phases and pio-
poi tions almost daily. Among the recent de
velopments is a call for a convention of the
democrats of South Dakota to urge division
nml the admission of two states. And now
come the democrats of North Dakota with
the agitation. No call has yet baen made for
the convention of the democrats of North
Dakota , but the question is being agitated
and prominent democrats who have been bit
ter and determined in their opposition to
division nro now favorable to the movement.
Letters Just received hero from prominent
congressmen brnifj little encouragement for
action during the present session of con
gress , ultliongh Sunset Cox intimates that a
sulUVIont number of democrats may vote for
thu division to give it a majority in the house.
An immense mass convention will soon beheld
held In some of the North Dakota towns for
the purpose of giving the democrats an op
portunity to show their lenders in congress
that the movement for statehood is non-
pal tisan. ElTotts will bo made to have Con-
gicssmau Cox of New York and Congress
man McDonald of Minnesota present. These
democratic congressmen have done much
good for Dakota nnd their presence would
give the meeting an immense attendance.

Ho was determined to put an end to the
miseiy ho experienced over the loss of his
money , however , and later in the dav ho at
tempted to commit suicldo by drowning but
was again rescued. Finally the church au
thorities decided to return the mm bia
money and ho is now happy.

CONSERVATIVE LEADERS SCARED

Prom I'lKmr to Giant.
OTTAWA , Dec. 11. Recording Congress
man Huttcrwortlfs annexation resolution
the text of which was published hero , IJowcll
minister of customs , said last night that "I
was the greatest"rot ever proposed by n mm
who had any pretensions to being n states
man. " "In the first place , " said Uowell
"tho people of Canada do not want annexa
tlon with the United States , a fotclblo lllus
tratlon of which wo had In the recent Do
minion elections , \vhlch\\cio run on cither
commercial union or unrestrained reciprocity
lines one remove only from annexation
which In reality cither Implies. Annexation
sentiment has no existence in Canada save
among a few hoodlums , who are endeavoring
to gain notoriety through advoc.itiiig the
movement. No one of any rosponsibilltj
Joins in. "
Sir Hector Langovln , Hon. John Costlgaii
and Minister of Marino and Fisheries Tup
per woio equally pronounced In denouncing
Congressman Butterwortl ] , whoso nctior
thov characterized us "cheek. " At the club'
and nbout the loading hotels the Hutterworth
lesolution has been the one topic of con
versation , nml outside the cabinet
there are many prominent political
men who do not hesltalo to say
that there is a gi owing sentiment
In favor of political alliance with the United
States. A leading political light said thai
Canada had wc.uiod of beluga subservient
follower of Downing street and wanted to
make her own treaties , which could not be
done as long as she remained a dependency of
Gieat Biitam.
Movi HI At. , Dec. It. The publication hereof
of the resolution intioduccd by Huttcrwoith
has had n varying effect. Everybody is dis
cussing it and ovoi.ybodv is looking
forward anxiously as to what course the
senate and house of representatives will
pursue Never since the famous annexation
manifesto of llfty years ago has there been
such expressions of public feeling as during
the past two months. A leading commercial
union member of parliament told a rcpoiter
that undoubtedly the issue at the. next gen-
e'-al ' election would be annexation , and ttiat
it was'an open secret that it would bo
leading plank in the liberal platform.
"The mask is oT ( at last , " said Taillon , the
conservative leader in thu piovincial pirlia-
mcnt , "Wo have held all along that com
mercial union was disguised annexation , and
hero now is liuttct worth , the most pro
nounced advocate of the founer policy , com
ing out boldly for annexation. Loyal Cana
dians will have to kill the pigmy quick , as it
is fast grow ing into n giant. "
TonoMO. Out , Dec. 14. Commenting on
the IJutlcrwortli resolution , the Umpire , the
leading government organ , calls it an insult
ing overture , and savs it is the leaders of the
Canadian opposition who h ive , by their con
duct and their words of sympathy , invited
this insult to their country.
The Globe ( opnosition ) siys : "One thing
can bo said for Huttorworth's proposal its
adoption by congiess would probably load to
n thorough exposition and understanding of
Canadian opinion as to the project of po
litical union with the United States. Wo
have no doubt that the Judgment of Cana
dians in the matter would bo such as to cure
our neighbors of the delusion that has long
kept them fiom trying to make the best pos
sible use of tlio political separation of the
two counti ies.
NKU Youic , Deo. 14 The Evening Post
this nftoinoon says : Tlio Canada annexa
tion resolutions introduced in congress bv
Huttcrwoith of Ohio , have greatly moved
the Canadians , both in the United
States mid across the St. Law
rence. Erastus Wunan said to day to
aioporter , who asked him what ho thought
ot HuttorwoiIll's scheme : "I'm knocked
between the eyes. I never saw such a fatal
mistake. I can't conceive how Huttorworth
came to do it. The ideal have is that therd
never was so contented n people as the Can
adians. The effect of this proposal for pol-it
leal union at the present time In congress
will bo to make very dilllcult the task of the
liberal party in Canada to secure
closer commercial relations. Indeed , it will
be an nlmost helpless attempt If congress
should , by the passage of thcso resolutions ,
persist in their effort. It will take llfty years
to achieve uolitic.il union by approaching it
In this way. Commercial union , on the other
hand , is certain in five years , so far as trade
and commerce is concerned. "
"What do you consider the most feasible
plan for commercial union I"
"Tho resolution reported In the house last
March by Representative Hitt of Illlinols ,
the republican member of the committee on
foi elgn affairs , providing for the appointment
of commissioners to confer with representa
tives of Canada lo prepare a plan for the assim
ilation of the Import duties and internal rove-
nilc taxes of both countries , and an equitable
division of the receipts in commercial union.
It is infinitely more feasible than that scheme
of Hutterworth's.
"Tho fact is , " said Wlman , "this Is n polit
ical move only Inaugurated by Hutterworth.
I have private Information that the demo
crats wore contemplating Just such a move
ment , and I guess Hutterwoith outmuncu-
vcrcd them. That's all. "
Sir John Mncdonald spoke to a reporter
to-day respecting the Huttorworth annexa
tion resolutions , He said that ho did not
care to express nn opinion us to the propriety
of the stop. "Tho proposition of Mr. Hut-
Icrworlh , In Its present state , as 1 under
stand It , " ho said , "is a purely domestic mat
ter. There will bo time enough to discuss
the proposition when It comes before , us ofll-
duly. " The government organs assail Hut-
terworth.

My husband , who died in lbil ( , was very

others on my breast and hips , and other

An Important Court Killing.
ToinKKan. . , Doc. 14. [ Special to TUB
Hci : . ] Judge Foster , of the United States
ciicult court , has rendered an important de
cision in reference to the removal of causes
fiom the state to the federal court under the
actoflb-To. It appeared that in November ,
1S6. ; , Heniy Shaw commenced an action in
the district court of Atchison county against
the Continental Insurance company , to re
cover SO.OOO loss. The issues in the ease
were not made up until'tho Juno , ISftO , term ,
at which term the ease was lemoved to the
fedeial court. Mr. Shaw's attorney tiled a
motion to remand the case to the state court ,
claiming that the cause should li ivo been re
moved ut the Febrmuy term. Judge Foster
sustained the motion ana icmandcd the case ,
holding that under the act of 1875 a cause
must be lemoved at the Hist term of the dis
trict court at whicli the ease would bo try-
able , if issues wore not delayed by the order
of the court or stipulation of parties , and
not at the term at which the case could bo
first tryablo in fuel. This is the iirst luling
of the k'nd ever obtained in 1C insas , and is
against the universal construction put upon
the act , of Ibid by both the attorneys and the
courts. A great many cases now on the
docket of the federal court will bo remanded
under this ruling. The decision is beimj
much commented uppn by attorneys in this
city.

CIIICAOO , Dec. H. When Pi esident Strong ,
of the Atchison road , was in Chicago re
cently , ho submitted to the presidents of the
various roads a plan for n temporary agree
ment designed to secure the mamtonancc of
rates for sixty days Horn January 1 , the idea
being to keep rate ? up to pajing business
dining the busy winter season , or till such
time as the financial rulers of the reads aio
ready to spring the next big scheme. An
unuHual feature of the scheme is a piovision
that if my suboidinnte otllccrof a road shall
be found guilty of cutting rates ho will bo
liromntly divested of the rate-making power.
The agreement , of course , will not bo put
Into effect without the unanimous consent of
the roads it intoicsts , and there seems to bo
considerable doubt whether they can all bo
brought into liny.

Huytiens are In , i state of terror at the
rumor that United S itoa war vessels are on
thoii w.iyheto to demand the release of the
/ed steamer , Iliii lion Republic. The gov-
ernmcnt dare not light , and they fear that
to surrender the vessel mopenpoitiit the
demand of a foreign man-of-war would make
them unpopular and weaken their authority
at homo. Hence they huvo decide. ! on n ,
very shrewd move. The Atlas line steamer
Alone , Captain Solders , which ar
rived from Now York to-night , brought
with her n crew under contract
with Minister Preston. They will
sail for Poit-au-Princo at midnight on the
steamer Arrun , also of the Atlas line , which.
*
: ias been ehurteicd for the occasion , and will
take possession of the steamer ilajtlon Re
public on Sunday. They will then leave lm- |
mediately for Now Yoi k before the Arnorl- ;
can men of- war arrive. Chief Oftlccr Will-
ams , of the Alone , will command the re-
tuined vessel. The Atlas company luiva
eontrnctpd witli Minister Preston to dclivon
the nnyllcn Republic ut New Yoi It , and
they hope to accomplish it In this way.
Havti thus expects to bo spaied the disgraoa
of being compelled to deliver the vessel oa
