General John M. Corse , formerly of Chicago , the hero of the battle of Altoona , ttio man who held the fort und gnvo P. P. liliss nn opportunity to wlto n stirring soup , a man whoso military record was quito as conspicuous as nny ono of his rank , is postnmter ut Boston. Ho was appointed by President Cleveland ns a democrat , although ho has never had any active participation in politics , cither tjoforo or slrico his nomination. Ho lias man aged his ofllco as the Boston ofilco lias novcr been managed before , and the satlsfactioti of the business men \\lth his administration Is so general thnt nil of the commercial organl- vtsatlons and business men generally , together with hundreds of prominent citizens , bnvo united In a petition to the piosldcnt for his rcappointmcnt. Strange to say , Senator "Hoar and Representative Lodtre endorse the petition favorably and Mr. Hoar has presented - sontod the case to the president. On the other hand , the other republican members of congress from Boston and vicinity nnd the political organizations of the city , including the republican committees nnd campaign workers , have united In n petition for the appointment of Henry A. Johnson , n republican , who has boon superintendent of malls In the Boston postofllco for many years. They claim that his promotion will bo quito ns much in the line of civil service reform as the rcappolntmont of General Corse , ns his service has boon ofllclent ami and his conduct ubovo reproach.

The northwestern alliances are non-sccrut and have had little to do with the regular body. 'They have been in existence for nearly sev enteen years In Nebraska , Iowa and some other stales. According lo Mr. Terrlll's tele gram all of these northwestern bodies will join In holding a convention with tbo Knights of Labor and the regular farmers' alliauco for the purpose of adopting a plan of political , campaign. jf MM. HAIUIISON nitTTEn , Mrs. Harrison Is quite a good deal bettor now , having almost completely recovered from her late attack of diphtheritic sere throat. Mrs. McICeo , however , is now 111 with a sQvero case of tonsilltis , which seems to bo quite prevalent throughout the city Just at present. There Is nothing serious about her nllmcnt. The house physician , Dr. Gardiner , after examining the promises care fully , bus decided that much of the Into sick ness at the while House comes from the al most continuous proscnco of the largo ferns and plants used in decorating tlio rooms on tbo occasion of dinners and receptions. The boxes In which thev grow contain a largo quantity of earth , which ex hales odors that are not benctlcial , and the plants accumulate nu unhealthy nmount of dampness. Dr. Gardiner thinks that It Is a good thing to have small potted plants in a room , ns they have a revivify ing effect on the atmosphere , but ho draws Iho line nttho largo plants and ferns , small trees , in fact. It was but a week or so ago that the decora tions uorn allowed to remain in the house for four days until the air in the east room became ns heavy and oppressive ns that in a green house , and the windows reeked with moisture. PEMOcnvrs OITOSBTIIE jiEU roiiTioNMEKTim.t , There was a solid democratic vote in the senate today against the adoption ot the ro- npporlionmcnt bill , but It was passed just as it came from the house , raising the number of members of tlio lower house of congress from : i'IO to 840. The action of the democrats in opposing the bill on pirty lines was a sur prise. It Is true that their amendments in creasing tbo representation of Arkansas , .Missouri and Now York , democratic slates , were voled down by the republicans , but on the other baud the atnondmouls offered by republicans to Increase the apportion ment of Minnesota nnd other republican states were defeated , nnd yet the republicans voted solidly for the measure ex cept Messrs. Davis nnd Washburn of Minnesota seta , who believed they were instructed by their constituents to vote against the bill on account of the outcome - como of the population light between Minne apolis nnd St. Paul nnd the refusal to glvo the state another congressman , The bill , as it will become a law , gives the republicans on advantage of about seven members of con gress , according to the present political status of the various states. The bill does not take effect until IbW. CONSTITUTIONS FOKTIICOMINO. Attention having boon called in those dis patches to the fact that there Is not a copy of the constitution of the United States to bo found In Washington for public distribution , \shilo the government is distributing largo numbers of copies of the constitutions of the South and Central American republics in the interest of commercial reciprocity , the house connnlttoo will tomorrow report n resolullon providing for Iho printing of ! IO,000 copies of our constitution , to bo distributed free through the members of congress. The sonata will probably take a similar stop and there will soon bo copies of the constitution of the United States In profusion overy- whoro. MISCELLANEOUS.

It appears that at that tlmo there were n number of squatters on the Kort Jlartsuff reservation and tnnt Wilson was the only ono who obeyed the order to vncalo. Subsequently an order was made throwing the reservation open to settlement and those who were upon the reservation nt the time it was opened were allowed to retain their en tries , and Wilson claims that by obeying Iho order ho was discriminated against.

Ho added that , ho was now engaged with the tank of England In devising a scheme to itrcnRthon the country's permanent Qre- iourccs. Ho claimed that it was the duty of .ho crcnt banking Institutions of the country , o assist therein. Under certain conditions he , voulu embark in the issue of pound notes , lr. Goschen declared that the note nrintlng process in lliiancial circles was a danger , not a resource. Ho would bo no party the ex pulsion of gold from the country by an ex- ccsslvo Issue of any Jiduclary currency. Mr. Goschen declared emphatically that ho pre ferred a stock of $ JO,000,000 , In gold under central control.to fciO.Oufl.OOO in the pockets of the public. He suggested the issue of sov ereign and half sovereign notes against the gold , conditional on the maintenance of a casb reserve considerably larger than required to meet the ordinary exi gencies of banking. In regard tea a plan to secure the latter condition ho con sidered the American provision , requiring banks to keep a fixed proportion of their de posits In cash , as excessive. Ho tepidly ad vocated the Issue of half sovereign notes against silver. Mr. Goshen also proposed a second gold reserve to bo touched only at moments of commercial peril. Ills whole speech was tentative , being Intended to at tract opinions from the bunking and com mercial woild. ISurlnl ofl'rlnco Ilnuilouln. , Jan. 29.

[ Special Telegram to THIS BEE. ] Since the failure of the window glass trust , which went to pieces In this city some weeks ago , prices of glass have gone down until the market is badlv demoralized.

Commence at the beginning.1 I did not offer any Inducement to him to make a confession. Ho needed no Inducement on this occasion , as ho was anxious to make It. " Tbo next witness was Marshal Mellck. It was understood by the defense that ho waste to submit the confession of Mob'arland in testimony and a bitter fight was entered against its admission.

IT WAS A DRAMATIC SPEECH , Senator Koonts Thrills an Andfonco with Elcquenco from the Heart. THE RELATIONS OF CAPITAL AND LABOR , An Atllntica Senator Wln > Looks nt Iloth Miles of Usury niul Stay Imvs-llo \VIIUIy Chocrod. There was a dramatic scone In the irriga tion convention otMcCook late Wednesday afternoon , when Senator Koontz of Hayes county mounted thd platform , The hall was crowded and mombora of the farmers' alli ance , who uproariously applauded the appear ance of the sonntorof their choice , probably constituted a majority of those present. The dim light within the hall nnd the howling bllz/nrd without added to the strangeness of the spectacle which followed the senator's llrst sentence. Turning sharply as ho reached the plat form , Senator Koontz said , with a dramatic gesture : "Now , what do you want I Will you widen the gap between capital nnd labor , or will you close Itl" The audience , puz zled at this abrupt opening , which had no up- parent reference to the object of the conven tion , remained silent until the senator re peated his demand with renewed emphasis , nnd added : "I want your answer before I go any further. " At this tbo fanners In the auulcucc , as by a common impulse , called out loudly , "Closo Itl"Vo \ want it closed ! " "On , you want It closed , " answered Sen ator Koontz , "Now , I will tell you why I asked. I received bushels of letters at Lin coin from my constituents tolling mo what to do about the usurv question , I open the llrst ono and It reads , 'Fix ' the law f > o that in case of usury wo may take principal and Interest and hang the man who loaned us the money.1 fLiughter , followed by cries of 'No , no.'J Then I open another nnd It says : 'Bo careful what you do about the usury law. Bo conservative. If you try to uo too radical you will crush the life out of the men In this part of the state. ' [ Loud up- plause. ] Bo with all tbo letters they ao full of contradictions. Now , I cnmo here to face my constituents and oslc you what you think of these radical measures. I beltovo wo must bring capital and labor together nnd not diivo them further apart. I want to protect the farmer In his rights , but I want to pro tect the railroad , the bank and every man and Interest In their Just rights , too. [ Great applause.Vo ] cannot malto every man In this country equally prosperous or rich. Why , If 1 were to give all you men an equal sum of money apiece tonl'ht ( , by a week from tonight one-third of the men would have two-thirds of the money. [ Laughter. ] You can't make men different by passing laws. All you can do Is to glvo every man equality before the law , and then lot the devil take the hlndermost. [ Laughter - tor and applause. ] "Now , I tell you men , my constituents , that I propose hereafter to vote my honest convictions. I nm going to do my duty as 1 see it , regardless of caucus dicta tion , and let the consequences bo what they may. [ Loud cheering. ] "Wo fought this campaign against Injustice , and there has been wild taU about what wo would do. It is true the farmers have boon Imposed upon , and that they have arisen .In their might until they can outvote the republicans nnd democrats both together in the legislature. [ Laughter. ] Wo made the light and won It. Now wo are in a position to deal out jus- tlco or Injustice. Which shall it hot I say , Justice to all mon allko , without rt > gard to wealth or clas > s. [ Cries of "That's right , " and long-continued applause ] . Why , what nonsense it Is to pretend that labor can bo made prosperous by putting the kuifo Into banks and bankers. 'Did you know that 00 per cent of all tno farmers in this part of the state are In debt for their homosi Did you know that If you have a farm worth $1,500 , mortgaged for$500 , and If wo pass radloil usury laws or stay laws to wound capital , capital will strike back nt you ) What then I Then the man who holds your mortgage will foroeloso It and you and your wife and children will bo fugitives on the face of the earth. fSonsa- tion. J I tell you , men , I used to have those wild Ideas , but I have been down to Lincoln and met business men and learned sense. I tell you I won't vote for such mnasuios unless you tell mo to , and then I will vote for them under protest [ Loud cheers. ] "When I ran for senator I was an alliance candidate. When I was elected I became the servant of all the people In the whole district When I come to vote on these questions I won't vote to ruin every larmer In the west ern half of the state , neither will all the other. ) . I think the press means to treat us fairly , but It gets Its news from loaders that some of us won't follow. You'll find that there nio several members that think as 1 do when wo como to voto. Wo Intend to do right , and If that don't suit you we'll take the consequences. " | Loud cheering. ] The speech came from the senator's honest heart and went straight homq to his hearers. In the course of It ho predicted that the dem ocrats and republicans would not stand to gether much longer In the legislature , and that .some of the nllianco men would stray from the fold. He afterward explained this remark to moan that several democrats nnd republicans would Join alllanco members in voting for conservative reforms. Representative Uugglos from Dundy fol lowed In a.sotncwhat similar strain , but said they proposed to clean out the 3 per centers without fail. Senator ICoontz's speech created a pro found Impression on his nudicnco , jiud ho was overwhelmed with congratulations.
