Mr. Ingnlls was deeply affected when ho hoard st Senator Plumb's death. . They were colleagues In tlio eeuato for thirteen years , and although not Intimate , they were nevertheless good friends. Mr. Ingalls In an Interview today told of many pleasant reminiscences of Sena. tor Plumb , and paid , among other things : "Mr. Plumb'R lempernmctnt was not such ns to permit Uitimucv , as that term It generally - orally umtiuMtood , Ha was not by nature or habit u sentimentalist. There was no gush nor pathos , uo rovorla nor reminiscence about him , but I think ho gnvo mo ai much of his confidence n * ho ever fuvo anybody , nd I found much In bis Ufa that was worthy of admiration , Ho lacked discipline and training In early years , nnd while ho displayed Immense energy , much of It was IrroBtilar nnd nt random , so that ho did not accomplish M much as ho might with Rlcndlcr and moro continuous force exerted In ono direction. But , his impulse.

Ho found as great political excitement ns was witnessed during the senatorial fight which resulted In the defeat of IngalK Letters and dispatcher had poured Into the executive office during the day from every section of tbo state. Tonight the hotel lobbies were crowded nnd there was a mnd scramble for the executive car. A dispatch sent from this place last nigh t announced that the governor would resign his scat mid have the president appoint htm as Plumb's successor. Tno state oxecutlvo was indignant when questioned about this possibility and said : " 1 do not understand the mad scramble for this placo. There Is no occariou for the disgraceful hurry and I shall mauo no Indecent basto. The rumor that I will resign is nbsiird. I shall fill out the term as governor to which the people have elected me and will appoint n successor for Senator Plumb In duo time. " It Is evident that the governor wl'l ' wait until after the funeral before making his cbolco known. The fight seems to hnvo dwindled doxvn between Gcorco Chandler , assistant secretary of the interior , who was formerly a law partner of Governor Humphrey In Independence , Goon-o R.

The case Is in some respects n remarkable one. In JSSO the plain tiff was married to William Douglass , n broucr ot Chicago , nnd the two lived happily until about a year ' ago , when Douglass found in his wife's writ ing desk n number of warm letters written by Culhbcrtson. Douglass hired a lawyer , Isaac Adams , and the two called Mrs. Douglass into Adams' oflico. Mrs. Douglass admitted the letters , but * declared that she had not been intimate with Cuth bortson. Adams said it was all right and Mrs. Douglass went homo. Two days later she was called before Judge Hortou , nnd in fifteen minutes n divorce was granted Doug lass. Cuthbortson testified to criminal Inti macy between himself otitl the woman. The plaintiff soys no papers had been served upon her , and she did not know what had boon done until the dccrco was granted. Judge Hortou told Cuthbertson tbn ho must marry MM. Douglass within twenty- four hours or go to the penitentiary , and Mrs , Douglass was told by her husband's lawyer that she must marry Cuthbertson ergo go to Jail for live years. The woman bogged nnd pleaded , and agreed to leave Chicago forever if aho could bo spared the marriage. Adams and Douglass insisted , and the mnr- rlago accordingly occurred at It o'clock the next morning , at Racine , Wls.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS , Important Oasss Which Have Hcon Passed Upon by that Body. CHILIAN NEV/S / SCARCE AND HARD TO GET , Gold In the Unltod States Treasury ' An Incident In the Senate- Gossip nnd News Items , from WASHINGTON- . C. , DJC. 21. The United States supreme court , In an opinion written by Justice Larnar , today reversed the de cision of the iiipromo court of California in the case of Thomas Knight vs the United States Land association and 'Clinton T. Trlpp. This case has attracted much atten tion on the P.iclllc coast , and concerns title to proparty lu Sau Francisco of great vnluo. The effect of the decision is to sustain the ruling of the Interior department. The case involved a controversy as to the boundary of the city of San Francisco on the nay. That city claimed , M the successor of a Mexican Pueblo , four square leagues of land on the northern * part of the peninsula on which the city U situated. It pre sented Its claim to the Board of Land Commissioners , created under Iho act ot congress of M'irch 3 , 1S3I , for Its adjustment and confirmation. The board confirmed It for a portion of the land nnd re jected It for tho'remainder. . The case was appealed to the United States district ccurt and then transferred to the United States circuit court for the district of California. Th'on the claim was confirmed on the ISlh of May , lsti. , for the four square leagues. The cnso was further appealed to the supronui court of the United States , which , in Decem ber , ISliO , on motion of the attorney general , dismissed Iho appeal. A survey was made of the claim. The dccrco bounded the claim on the east by the high water mark of the bay of San Francisco , as It existed on tho- acquisition of the country July 7 , 1SKJ. A ilisputoarosoas to where this line should bo run , whether it should follow the high water murk of the bay nnd cross the mouth of the creeks and estuaries that run into the bay or whether it should follow up the banks of these streams. Tbo Interior department , held , after repeated arguments , that the , line should follow the high water mark of Iho bay and cross the mouths of all crooks that run into it , nnd a survey , in conformity with that decision , w s approved and a patent issued. Certain parties claiming land along the crooks , as marshes or tldo lands , resisted the en forcement of the patent , and the matter has been In moro or less litigation for years. This controversy is finally decided by the decision of the court today , lu accordance with thu ruling of the Interior department , approving the survey adopted by that depart ment nnd the patent issued thereon. This is said to end a litigation which has lasted for nearly thirty-nine years. The lands affected , though originally Ihio lands , huvo been im proved , nud now form a valuable part of ban Francisco. , The supreme court today nfllrmod the decision of the lower court de claring the provision in the Now York law providing for the solitary conlinc- ment of persons condemned to death and other features a * unconstitutional. The legality of the punishment of death by moans of elOctrlclty is not attackod.81' * " ' - The court also advanced the hcanne of arguments in suits involving the title to largo amounts ot property along and under the Inko in Chlcaeo , to the second Monday of next term. ClaHscn nnd Simmons .Sentenced. The court , In an opinion rendered by Justice tico Gray , alllrmed the decision of tho" lower court in the cases of Peter J. Classen and Frederick S. Simmons , convicted of ombez- zlemejit and "kiting" operations in con nection with the failure of the Sixth National bank of Now York City. The de cision of the court was foreshadowed at the time of the argument , whan the court in formed Solicitor General Taft , who was arguinc the case for the government , that It was not necessary for him to argue the Sim mons case , that it had already heard sufll- ciont argument. It is said that the counsel for Iho prisoners have under consideration the advisability of applying for a pardon. The court nflirmed the decision 6f the circuit , court of Outagamlo county , Wiscon sin , in the cnso of the Ivnukaunu Water company ot nl , plaintiffs In error , vs the Green Bay and-tho Mississippi Canal com pany. This is a suit arising over the im provement of the Fox nnd Wisconsin rivers. A uam was built and the Kaukauna Water company , representing an owner of riparian rights on lands adjoining a dam built fur the improvement ot the river's navigation , sought to make a cut In the dutri to got water fiom the canal com pany , which holds title from tuostnto , claim ing that Iho owners had not received com pensation and had been deprived of property without duo procuss of law. The court rules that Iho dam was built for public purposes ; that the state had a right to declare that the water arising In the improvement of the rivers belong to the state , and as the owners ot adjoining land did not avail themselves of the provision made by congress for damages to pei-sons injured by the Improvement of the river , the water power company cannot now , after twonty-flvo years have chipjed , claim the land because of failure to receive compensation. \VI11 Occupy Plumb's Old Sent. The seat for so long n tlmo occupied by the late Senator Plumb Is ono of the most desir able. It Is on the rear row , but it Is next to the mala aisle and , therefore , its occupant faces the presiding ofllccr. It has boon as signed to Senator Warren of Wyoming , nnd ns soon as tha gruesome emblems of mourn ing bnvo been removed from the chair and closi ; ho will take possession. It is unuorstood that Sunator Squire will move into Governor Warren's seat , nnd other senators will probably move around until the lcu < > t ( luslrablo place In the chamber is loft for tbo Kunsns republican who will be appointed by Governor Humphrey. Senator Plumb's death will glvo the northwest - west another committee chairmanship , for Senator Dolph of Orjgon will go to the head ot the committee on public lands. . Just what changes will bo brought abput In the formation of committee : ) by the death of Senator Plumb cannot easily , at this tune , bo foreshadowed. Those will depend very largely upon the character of his suc cessor. If ox-Sonator Ingalls should bo appointed , there would have to bo very much of a readjustment , for senatorial courtoay would Insist on Mr. lugails getting a place on us many as possible of his old committees.

The Department of Agriculture makes the following nnnounccriiont : "Tho Inspectors of the bureau of animal Industry at Long Island have unearthed nn nbbatotr nt New ton Creek , wlflch they found to bo devoted entirely to the slaughter of broken down , crippled horses. Many of those horses were diseased and. some of them affected with glanders. The Inspectors thoroughly Inves tigated the destination of carcasses.

It Is bsllovod that the other democratic members of the com mittee on ways nnd moans will bo as follows : McMillln of Tennessee , Turner of Georgia , Wilson of Wojt Virginia , Whiting of Micjil- gau , Montgomery of Kentucky , Shlvoly of Indiana , Stevens of Massachusetts , Johnson of Ohio nnd Bryan of Nebraska. Ex- Speaker Reed will head the republican mem bership of the commlttoo , and next to him will bo Burrows of Michigan and McKonnn of California. It is unimportant who the other two members may bo , for the majority will rule with an iron hand. These who 11 ro wlso as to the chairmanship of committees which are to bo announced on Wednesday say that without exception Crisp has been unrelenting in his punishment of the Mills men. Outhwaito of Ohio will bo Iho head of military tiftalrs , Blount of Georgia , foreign affairs , O'Farroll of Virginia , clec- . lloas. and probably Catchings of Mississippi , judiciary.

Senator Pottigrow says lioMost ono of his best friends and thn country one of the ablest statesmen it had in the death of Senator Plumb. The Kansas and South Dakota sen ators wcro intimate personal frienas and the latter feels deeply the great loss he has sus tained. 'oenator Pottlgrcw said today that If Uio president did not appoint Mltebcllof Winoiia * Minn. , to the judgoshlp of that circuit ho would likely appoint ox-Souator Moody of South Dakota , who.is . Oxcollontly fitted for it nnd has been strongly endorsed by many prominent men. Killed byjlnril Work. "Died from overwork , would bo the verdict of a jury were a coroner's inquest to bo hold upon the Into Senator Preston B. Plumb of Kansas , " said Senator Mnndoraon of - Nebraska braska this afternoon. Senator Mandorson continued , "And I might ndd that the Jury would likely say further that Senator Plumb was killed by his correspondents. That man was fairly run to doatn by constituents who pelted him at every turn with letters. Ho used to got from 161) ) to 203 letters n day. They asked for pensions and the settlement ot all sorts of claims nnd thuy came from homesteaders and parsons who had boon raided by Indians nnd who wanted appointments nnd everything else under the sun. Imagine a man taking cure ot such n quantity of qorrospomionco. It is almost physically impossible. It Is necessary for a senator to do something moro with letters - tors than simply sit down and wrlto nn ' answer. Ho must , in n majority of cases , write other letters to carry out the wishes of the correspondents , nnd in ono qunrtor of the instances ho must visit the white house nnd introduce bills in congress and upon them innko reports. Senator Plumb had as much work as six mon could have done and ' preserved their lives. " Senator Plumb's Vacant Chair. Within less than two hours after the death ot Senator Plumb ycstordpy Senator Warren of Wyoming had mailed u letter to Door keeper Bassett applylnir for the dead sena tor's desk , which was n very do.sirablo ono. Tlio Knnsas henntor occupied a desk and chair In the very center of the outside row next the main nislo , whore ho could have easy ogress nud in press , and could see and bo beard from unv point in tup chamber. The , eagerness with which senators pounce upon the seats of thylr dead confreres makes ono nlmnu shudder. Quito 'a number of letters were mailed yesterday asking for Plumb's sent , so many in fact , that the postmarks on the envelopes had to bo con- bulled us to priority of application. Senator Warren fortunately carried his letter to the city postolllco himself , thereby securing nn immediate postmark , 2 o'clock , when the death occurred just after 12 , and so ho gote the vacant chair.
