WASHINGTON . U. C. . Fob. 21. I
It Is not among the Improbabilities that
there will lo. ) n dead lock in both ends of tlio
capital tills week.
The Mills democrat1) declare tlioy will nro-
vent a vote on the Cowlcs frco tobacco bill if
there Is ilotliniK clso neeomplislic'l ' \ > y this
liouso of rciircsctitutlvcs.
Some of the domocralio senators nro get
ting Into n desperate frame of mind over the
refusal of the republican senators to go into
executive session for action upon the several
hundred nominations which luivo not been
confirmed and which will not bu acted upon.
It Is Intimated that they may attempt by fili
bustering to prevent action upon sotnu of the
general measures of the calendar. If an ox-
coutlvc session is not had it would be a re-
tnnrkablo spcclnclu to see democratic sena
tors filibustering or creating n dead lock
which would prevent the ndoptlon of appro
priation bills to pay debts incurred by a
democratic administration. This alone may
lit event such n desperate act.
It is not for the purpose of defeating notion
upon the nominations which hnvo been re
ported favorably or adversely from the com
mittees that the republicans wilt not permit
un executive suasion of the senate.
It has been boasted by the president and
snmo of his cabinet oliicors that if opportun
ity Is afforded , the nomination of Thompson ,
of South Carolina , to b ? a civil service com
missioner ; Webb , to bo n commissioner of
the District of Columbia , and other nomina
tions repulsive to the people hero anil else
where , which have not been reported from
the committees to whom they have been re
ferred , will bo continued , and if un execu
tive session is hold a motion will bo made in
cnch of these cases to disclJarce the commit
tees and confirm. It is stated by the admin
istration men that pledges have been secured
from n sunlcicnt number of republican sena
tors to conllrm thu nominations. Just who
the republican senators arou.mnot be learned
and if an executive session is not
hold it never will bo known.
But If there Is nn executive session and the
motions are made these senators will do what
they very much desired not to do. So the
way to avoid tiiese unpleasant thinRS is to
give no opportunity to meet them. Four or
live republican senators are already respon
sible for saddling upon the incoming admin
istration ninny oftcnsivo judicial and other
ofilcers who cannot easily be removed if at
nil.
nil.One
One of the oldest and mo t influential re
publican senators one who recently visited
General Harrison said to your correspond
ent to-day : "If J were ono of tlio republi
cans who promised to confirm any of the
nominees that , have not been reported from
the committees , I would dofvat an executive
session if iHjsslble , and if ono was hold I
would have business elsewhere. To conlirm
ono of thcso nominations m to invite the dis
pleasure of President Harrison. It is a pcr-
Bonnl affront to him , anil the conllrmation
must not bo made. If either Webb or Thomp
son were confirmed I have no doubt that
President Harrison would bring about a
prompt removal. Knowing this , how can
the republicans suffer a conllrmation. "
Mr. Mills declares Hint the Cowlcs free to
bacco bill will not be considered , and Inti
mates that If wcro passed It would not ho
signed by President Cleveland. There are
questions in congress which may malic the
proceedings very lively. The session will bo
almost continuous in both houses after
Thursday.
Since no material amendments will be suf-
lercd by the Mills men to the rules govern
ing the house , and one or two men can block
thoiirocecdings under the present rules , there
will bo very little done beyond the passage
of the appropriation bills.
WOHKIJ.O KOII MELBTTE.
Washington contains many prominent
men from Dakota to-night. Another install
ment arrived to-day. Some of them have
como for olllces , while others nro hero to see
the inauguration and look after matters con
nected with statehood. Very early after the
4th of March n delegation of thcso men will
call upon President Harrison anil ask for
thu appointment of n governor of
Dakota. They will bo united in
presenting the name of Arthur C. Melctte ,
of Wntcrtown , who is the governor-elect , for
the state of South Dakota. They believe it
would be the proper thing to have the man
who Is to bo governor of the state , in the
oOlco from the time a change Is made in the ,
present administration till tlio territory un
der the law is divided and made two states.
This would make an unbroken administra
tion , they say , and would enable them to
have a bettor administration from the time
the present incumbent is removed till the
elected governor takes the chair. It would
keep tlio Incumbency Intact. Governor
Molctto Is a line specimen of manhood. Ho
Is about fifty years old , large and brainy and
bos the record of a statesman. Ho is a native
Hoosierand framed Indiana's present admir
able school law. llo has been a warm per
sonal friend of ( Jcnornl Harrison foV twenty
years , supporting him in his newspaper and
on the stump in the memorable campaign of
1870 , when General Harrison was a candidate
foi- governor of Indiana , He was nn original
Harrison man before thu nomination , ana
during the campaign canvassed Dakota for
speakers and money , to bring about success
lit the states , ills friends uru very much In
earnest for his appointment to thootlk'o ho
will llll in uit' event after the tlrsl of next
year.

Law P..rtnor Miller , in a letter to a friend
in Washington , made use of sumo language
which , while It was not nn assertion that ho
expected to bo n member of the cabinet , was
nt least susceptible to no other construction ,
and is so understood. Ho intimates that ho
will bo attorney general , which , If it is true ,
makes live places In Urn cabinet that have
been certainly filled , leaving the wui' , navy
and agricultural departments open for settle
ment after the arrival of the president-elect
in Washington. The talk about Judge Emory

cabinet is becoming qulto serious. Specr

from Georgia , elected by the democrats
and afterwards nil independent candidate
against tlio regular democratic nominee.

and then appointed to the bench by President ,
Arthur , Ho is a man of great ability , has an
excellent standing as a lawyer , and his record
in the United States district bunch has boon
* cry creditable.Vlilluho has never allied
himself to tlio republican party , ho Is more/
in sympathy with Us platform than with that

south would bo very well pleased to see him
appointed to the cabinet. Judge Speer Is In

some of his friends had suirgested his minia

haw much weight their representations hud ,
and had navcr received thn slightest inti

Ho is well satUllcd witli his present position
on the bench , but of course would feel
greatly Honored by a cabinet upirointiuont.

Every day the proposition to give members
of the house private secretaries Is expected
to come up for consideration. Tim propo
sition has been favorably reported from the
liouso committee on accounts , and may bo
called up nt any time. It is proposcil to give
members of the house clerks or secretaries
at a salary of $100 n month during the ses
sion. The senate gives its members private
secretaries at a salary of $ I'J a week during
the session. These who arc chairmen of
committees are provided with clerks under
the present rules , and they , of course , will
not bo voted the extra assistance.
Quito a number of times daring the past
six or eight years this proposition has come
up In the house , but the greatest vote it over
received was only about one-third the full
membership. It was regarded an n kind of
salary grab affair , and members wore charry
of it. It is now proposed to vote for a propo
sition , to take effect at the beginning of the
next congress , March 4. This will avoid all
blame , and will relieve members from any
ctiurgo that they are acting selfishly. It is
now thought that the proposition will bo car
ried by about n two thirds vote. The consti
tuents of the members will offer no objection ,
as un increase of assistance to their repre
sentatives will nITord them better service.
With a. private secretary a member of the
house can accomplish utmost twice as much
as now , and everyone wants his demands at
tended to as quickly ns possible.
About two-thirds of the
- republican mem
bers of the present house of representatives
who were not ro-eleetcil last November ex
pect appointments under thn incoming ad
ministration. Several of them have secured
signatures to petitions to Genor.il Harrison
whllo others have asked tlieir legislatures or
constitutents to give thorn indorsements.
Some of them want to go abroad while others
desire to be on the bench , collectors of cus
toms. or internal revenue , and others want
positions in the departments here. There is
a member of congress aspiring to about half
of the good positions in Washington. Some
of them undoubtedly deserve recognition ,
while others were , defeated on account of the
waning o'f their popularity among their con
stituents , and therefore tlieir appointment
would not bo as popular in their districts as
if some other men were selected.
There is a big pile of mail for General
Harrison at the Washington postofiiee.
About n bushel of letters , arc being
kept for him until he arrives. They com
menced to arrive only about a week apro , but
have been piling u ; > very rapidly since.
PEHIIV S. HIUTII.
A German I'nper's Opinion of the
Sunionn A flair.
Buuuy , Fob. 21. Tlio Berlin Post re
prints nn article In the Wcscr Zeltung on the
Samoan nuestion , and remarks that in many
respects the views therein taken are correct.
The article in question rejects the suppo
sition that the government came to terms
with America owing to Germany's position
in regard to Franco , and says :
"Neither under the present nor under any
other circumstances would Germany have
risked a rupture with America for such
a bagatelle , The Samoan white book
shows that whatever action German
olllctals repudiated was contrary to interna
tional law. The press criticisms asked by
the white book were almost entirely directed
against the excess of zeal displayed by Ger
man agents who appeared to bo lacking in
ttio statesmanlike discretion necessary in
dealing with the condition. Samoan reports
show an endeavor to make German annexa
tion or protection appear necessary. After
stating that the conflict of Decem
ber 18 might have been avoided
had the German consuls taken more
literally his instructions , which were ttiat ho
should not intervene , but in the event of
Tumoscso's ability to hold his ground ho
should Mippoit negotiations between
Tumeseso and Mutoabu. "
The \Veser Jieitung continues : "Whether
Mutoafa's people were led by the American
government or not , tlioy cannot ( To made re
sponsible for the action of individuals. - The
German consul , however , by his action un
doubtedly burdens his government with such
responsibility. The contrast between the at
titude of thn consul and the government is
shown by the white book , nnd therefore is
easily explained. "
The Cologne Gazette violently attacks the
Froislnnige Press and repeats the demand
for the punishment and extraditltn of the
American , Klein , as a common criminal.
The North German Gazette publishes a
map ot Upolu , one of the Samoa Islands , n
study of which , it declnrs , leaves no doubt
of the preponderance of German interests in
Samoa.
Losno.v , Fob. 21. The Tunes' Derlln cor
respondent says : At the dinner given by
Hismarck to the members of the lower house
of the Prussia diet , the chancellor uli'ii ho re
garded It as un utter impossibility tliat the
Samoan question should have the effect of
intorrupolng these friendly relations be
tween Germany and America which
have existed for n cnntury. The
geographical situation of Samoa
and the imperfection of telegraphic com
munication rendered U It Impossible for him
to bo responsible for all thu acts of the Ger
man agents in the 1'acillo , but the parties In
dispute were animated by the best spirit , nnd
no doubt Gormany'd commercial Interests
would not materially suffer.

Dis : Mois-ns , la. , Feb. 24. | Special to Tun
HEK.J The trial of the governor of Iowa on
n criminal charge has been the subject of tlio
week not only in , Dos Moiucs but In Iowa.
The papers all over the state stopped their
discussion of the over present railroad ques
tion nut ) express their opinion on the novel
spectacle of a governor In the role of defend
ant in n criminal court. The press of the
state has very generally condemned the in
dictment of the governor ns spite work , in
retaliation for the ' refusal
governor's to par
don young Turney. After having fulled to
move him , the friends of Turnoy seem to
have determined to make him trouble by the
annoyance of a prosecution in court. Al
though the governor merely repeated what
twenty-seven citizens of Preston , Jackson
county , hud nfllrmcd , over their own names ,
yet ho wns singled out for punishment , while
they were left alone. It U believed that this
is the only Instance on record in which a
governor , whllo in active ofllco , has been the
defendant in a criminal court. Eaeh session
during the trial , the court room has been
crowded with an eager throng of sight
seers.
Tlio people generally nro getting very tired
of the Turney case. It has been before the
public for the last two years , and the im
portunity of these who want to reverse all
courts and let the young man 1:0 tree , bus
become a little wearying. Meanwhile , Tur
noy is being carefully cared for at the Ann-
mesa prison , and according to- the testimony
of the warden , is really enjoying all the no
toriety he is roceivinir. Ho is now about
twenty-live years old , and it is said looks
upon himself ns quite a hero. Ills exploits
have been of the dime novel order , and his
crimes were all apparently studied for their
dramatic effect. lie eagerly reads every al
lusion in the newspapers to himself , whether
the article bo friendly or unfriendly. Ac
cording to his own admission ho was guilty
of a scries of burclarios and felonies , and so
fnr ho has spent about three years in prison.
Probably , if there had not been so many at
tempts to coerce the governor , ho would have
pardoned the young man before very long.
Hut while the case is in court , , nnd while tlio
governor Is under the threats and practical
duresss , ho is not likely to interfere' in the
young man's behalf.

like to go back to his old post as minister to

would like to servo the government in tlio

the service , is fully equal to the demand.
Prominent among these Is Congressman

The Breeders' Association.

BEE. ] The proceedings of the fifteenth an

Breeders' association are now given to the
public in book form , as ordered by the gen
eral assembly. This association i.s ono of the
successful institutions of the state , and rep
resents the advancement made by the farm
ers and stock growers of Iowa in the matter
of raising nnd Improving the grade of cattle
About twenty years ago pure bred specimens
of stock began to bo introduced into Iowa ,
with very beneficial effects. From that time ,
instead of shipping out of the state , the great
bulk of the grain raised in Iowa , the people.
bCL'an to see the advantage of feeding it to
stock , Fiist came an improvement in thu
grade of hogs , nnd the razorbacks dlsan-
nearod. Then a better stock of homes and
cattle was introduced , and the farm
ers began to got thoroughly inter
ested in improving the grade of the stock of
all kinds. Soma fifteen years ago the move
ment in favor of better stock had gone far
enough to justify the organisation of an "Im
proved Stock Breeder's association , " nnd
now it is one of the most flourishing of all
the state organizations. An a result of the
work that has been done In Improving the
stock of Iowa , It is estimated that there is in
vested in cattle , horses , mules , hogs and
sheep in this state alone , over $200,000,000.
There nro probably 10,000,000 animals of var
ious kinds in the state. Some of the finest
horses nnd cattle In the world are to bo found
In Iowa , and the general grade is constantly
improving ,
Hoard of Health.
DKS MOIXKS , la. , Fob. 21. fHpecml to Tun
HcE.J The state board of health has been
having a little trouble with contagious
diseases In different parts of the state , from
the failure of local boards to enforce a strict
quarantine. The local health olllcers say
that people will not respect their orders and
they don't know what to do. The attorney
general has' instructed the state board of
health that Its regulations must bo obeyed
and can bo enforced the same as the orders
of a court , and the board can call upon the
sheriff to enforce them , and If that Is not
sulllcicnt , the militia can bo ordered out. Ho
says there must bo no trllliug when the lives
of many innocsnt persons are nt stake ,
through careless and wilful neglect on the
part of people where contagion" exists.

date was cancelled by appeal to tlio supreme
court. It now remains for the governor to

INDIAN u-ous , Feb. 24. General Har
rison's last Sabbath at homo before his departure
parturo to assume the presidency was a nota
ble day to the pastor and members of his
church , the First Presbyterian. When the
hour for beginning the services arrived not n
scat was vacant and the aisles wcro crowded
with visitors. General Harrison , accomp
aiilod by Mrs. Harrison nnd Mr. and Mrs.
McICee , wore among the early arrivals
and all eyes were' turned upon the
distinguished party as they sought their
scnts. At the conclusion of thu sermon
proper , Kov. lr. ) Unities spoke in substance
as follows :
"iieforu these services close I cannot but
bear in mind that which to-day Is prominent
in the thoughts of us nil the fact that this is
the last service prior to the departure from
among us of ono who for more than a third
of n century has be"bn Identified with this
Christian church as a member mid olllccr.
Our scnno of personal esteem and gratifica
tion over your elevation to the t'hief magis
tracy of tlio nation is to-day overshadowed
by the necessity of separation , and especially
the sense of serious , solcuin rcsponsibilitie.s
that are to bo laid upon you responsibilities
which no man on earth Is qualilicd to meet
in his own wisdom and strength. For unto
you , in no small degree , will it bo given to
inlliioncj for weal or for woe the interests of
0000,000 ( ! of people.
"Wo remember that you are called not
only to ba an example , but u leader to thu
people of this laud. Eternal God is the same ,
yesterday , to-day , and forever. May you
ho.ir His voice speaking unto you those very
words Ho spako unto tlio lawgiver of Israel ,
girding , you for coming tasks ; guarding you
from threatening perils , and enabling you to
lift this great American nation forward to a
higher condition of freedom and righteous
ness.
ness.Vo know that you have set. before you ns
the po'.cjstar of your public life , to use your
own words , 'a patriotic purpose to promote
the true glory ot our country and the highest
good of our people ; ' and we are glad In the
belief that the righteous liopos Inspired by
your words and by your lifo among us will
be Justillcd in the days to come. "
Dr. Hnincs , during the delivery of the
farewell tribute , spoke with much fccllnc.
General Harrison sat witli his head slightly
bowed , ns though greatly affected by the
solemnity of tlio occasion , as wore also Mrs.
Harrison nnd Mrs. McICee. Just before dis
missing the congregation Dr. Iluincs naked
them all to rise and join in singing "Our
Native Home" to the tune "America , " and
the words of the hymn were rendered with
hu much pathos that hundreds of the audi-
enca were nffortod to tears , and both Gen
eral and Mrs. Harrison were visibly affected.
As the congregation passed out all the
members of the church and ninny who were
not members flocked over to where General
ami Mrs. Harrison were standing , near the
side entrance , mid biij them good-bye. A
large crowd gathered on the outside to got a
glimpse of the familiar features of their dis-
tlnguiyCil countryman , and General and
Mrs ; llnrrlson walked up Pennsylvania
avenue en route to their home , stopping on
the way ut Dr. Halne's residence to say n
final good-bye to their pastor and family.
During the afternoon and evening many

farewell and God speed. The general will

pnliliui.
Tlio MnnroR DootrlnrAflirincil. .
WASUISOTOS- , Fob , 21. RoprcaMitntivo
McCrenry , of Kcntuckv , on behalf of n ma
jority of the members of the cniumlttea on
foreign nlTnlrs , has prepared n report recom
mending the adoption of the ICdmuiiila Pan
ama canal resolution. Tlio report says :
"Tho resolution comes to the house after
being carefully coasiderqd and almost unnnl *
mon sly adopted by the senate. It rcnfllrms a
public policy that l.s of both national and In
ternational Importance , a public policy that
has been t > o Intimately Interwoven with the
treaties und teachings , doctrines nnd necessi
ties of the American people that it seems to
have originated in tlio very earl lost day ot
our republic. The Joint resolution under
consideration Is in accordance with the
declarations made by Monroe , applied to ex
isting conditions and developments of
events. "
After eulogizing the Monroe doctrine the
report siiys that the doctrl'iu contains no
limitations and wns not cimllncd to condi
tions existing at thu time It was announced.
Quotations are made from tlio declarations
of some of our presidents and many of our
leading statesmen to shinv that they have
taken even n stronger position than
that maintained by the tcsolu-
tlon under consideration , and objected
not only to ICuropcan colonization
or tlie extension of European political sys
tems on Dm American continent , but to any
project which would give European govern
ments n new fooihold in America.
'The joint resolution under consideration
"ays thai tlio report simply declares that tlio
government of the Uniu-d States will look
with serious concern and disapproval upon
any connection of any European government
with the construction or control of cither
the Piinnma canal or Nicaragua canal , aud
and will regard such connection or control
as injurious to the rights nnd Interests of the
United States , and as a menace to their
welfare , und asks if anyone can deny the
truth of these propositions. History shows
Unit wherever governments put tlieir money
they soon followed with their power , and
that the aim of the great nations of Europe
has been to take possession of salient points
and narrow straits of the world for the con
trol of commerce and for aid in time of war.
In the light of past events , can wo doubt
what would bo the result if Englander
or France , or cither of the great
powers of Europe should construct , or by en
dorsing bonds , control such un Important
transit as a ship canal across the Isthmus of
Daricn. or a ship canal across Central Amer
ica ? If any European government should
construct , or assist in the construction of a
great public Improvement in another country ,
the assertion of that p.nvor by that govern
ment can be followed by the right
of defending that improvement.
Columbia and Nicaragua nro bath wonk re
publics , nnd they would soon bo forced -to
yield , oil her by treaty arrangements or con
cessions , to the irovernmental authority pro-
muting the enterprise. A conflict of inter
ests with cither would ccrt'nhly ; occur , anil
thn weak power wdu'ld"Succ"unib to the great
nowcr , and the ultimate result would bo
European domination in Panama , Nicaragua
and perhaps an extension of dom
ination 'to the other republics.
If this is allowed wo abandon
the principle to which wo have clung for
seventy years , and surrender sacred princi
ples which our fathers and forefathers main
tained so successfully'niid so patriotically.
The present , the report declares , Is an op
portune and important time to announce an
American policy with regard to the Panama
canal. Do Lessens has failed in his scheme ,
worlc has stopped , nnd tlio government of
France lins been asked to construct or con
trol in some way the construction of the
cannl. itscontrol by a European government
cannot but bo regarded as injurjous to the
rights and interests of tlio United Slates ,
und as a menace to our welfare. Moreover.
our treaty obligations and far-reaching und
binding guarantees made by the United
States .with the republics through which the
proposed inter-oceanic canals are to DO con
structed , makes it of paramount Importance
to the people of the United Stato.s that any
attempt on the part of European govern
ments to engngo in the construction or control - '
trol of thcso canals should bo watched with
the greatest vigilance and looked upon
with serious concern and disapproval.
The time has come for our
government to define its position and take u
stand in behalf of our sister republics of the
western hemisphere. The day of Isolation
of the three Americas has passed , and the
day of fraternity and friendship , improved
commerce , nnd enlarged national freedom
has corns. Each year Drings the United
States and the republics couth of us in closer
communication , and the day is nut fur dis
tant when the three Americas will bo
connected by railroads nnd bound
together in common hones nnd
commnn-ties , The adoption of tins resolu
tion will help to preserve the autonomy and
advance the best interests of our sister re
publics south of us , The needs of our people
ple , the dignity of our government , and the
nmlntcnnncn of our supremacy In the west
ern hemisphere depend on it.
