WASHINGTON , Nov. 21. i.SOoI.iI | ) Tele
gram. ) The following self-explanatory letter -
tor was sent out todav :
lion A. S. Paddock , City : Slr-Slnoe i-x-
anlnliiR U > u papers In nfrronci' to t ic Oleo
nml Missouri Inm ! * , I hixvc eo ncluilcil to
withdraw the proposition tnniln through In-
imcctor McCormlck , und hnvo this clay so
wired J. U. Demott of Imrneslon , Neb. ,
whose name Is Una signed , to n-ily | to my
proposition. 1 hnvo directed tin. commlM-
Hloner of tin- general land olllce to ram-el
the entries of nil Bottlers on Otoo and M H-
Hourl lands who nhnll not have paid by
January 1 , IS'JT , the remainder due on Hiictt
lands as * per compromise made with tno
lUoonn.l . Missouri Indians through the
Heeretiiry of the Intel lor lii July hist \ i-ry
respectfully. DAVID It. !
Secretary Francis took this action upon j
receipt today of u report from Inspector i
McCormlnk on the action of thu Indians and
KCttlers on the latest propositions submitted i
by him. This compromise provided that the ,
settlers \\cro to have one year In which to
pay up the balance due on lands , and all , !
Including those who have already paid for i
their holdings , were to have the benefit of I ,
a rebate nf ten years' Interest. According | ;
to the Inspector's report , the Indians readily
agreed to accept the proposition , but when
It was submitted to the settlers they abso
lutely refused to accept the compromise.
The settlers have been contending on
this method of settlement ever sli.co the
department , and the secretary's last prop
osition was even more favorable than they
asked for , as It gave the benefit of the rebate -
bate to those settlers who hail paid up In
full. The former compromise mentioned In
the letter hero quoted provides that the sel-
tiers shall settle arrears , less ten > cars'
Interest , In i.lnety days or their entries nro
to bo canceled. In view of the fact that
the last proposition was so muc-h more fa
vorable than the settlers had pleaded for.
Secretary Francis became Incensed at their
action , and refused to listen to the argu
ments of ox-Senator Paddock In favor of
giving them until December 10 to recon-
blder their latest action and Issued orders
as above. Senator Paddock. In talking of
the matter before ho left for New York to
night , said ho regretted exceedingly that
thu matter had turned out as It had.
TRANSMISSISSIPPI CHKTIFICATKS.
Although the certification of the validity
of the stock subscriptions for the Trans-
mlssls.slppl rCxp'osltlrm has been iccclved by
the Treasury department , signed by Presi
dent Wattles and Secretary Wakeflcld of
the local association , nothing has been done
with them as yet. They nro lying upon
the desk In the warrant division of tiio
Treasury department awaiting a definite
course of action In celling them before the
secretary ot the treasury. The manner of
certifying to these stock subscriptions Is
new to the financial head of the government.
Ho has never been called upon to pass upon
Just exactly similar subscriptions , and the
dcslro ot the department Is to facilitate
the work of verifying the allldavlts signed
by Wattles and Wakcfleld as to the lella-
blllty nnd standing of the subscriptions
\vhlch they arc now carrying upon books
In Omaha. Whether the papers will eventually -
tually jo ; to thp solicitor of the treasury or
the comptroller hna not bfi'ii decided.
Speaking generally of the situation , Sec
retary Carlisle said to The. nee correspond
ent today : "I do not anticipate having the
papers ion iiny desk before the early part
of , next wfok.at-which time some definite
course wIL | be decided upon to pass upon
the liability of the men and corporations
subscribing o the stock made necessary to
secure the appropriation of $200,000 en
grafted In the bill passed at the last sua
sion of co.igress. I cannot say , not having
sqen the papers as yet , what division they
will eventually bo referred to for vcrlncu-
tlon. I know so little about the matter
.that I can only give an opinion after I Imvc-
.seen the character of the certificates. The
matter , you may be sine , will get the
earliest possible attention and the work
expedited so that the appropriation of $2011-
000' may bo Included In one of the several
-appropriation bills which must pass con-
.grcsa before the Ith of next March. "

1SSS he came to Omaha , and In 1SS9 united
with General John ( ! . Cowln In the llrm of
Cowln & Mcllugh. which relationship ho has
slnco maintained.

state commerce commission , which cases
were tried In Omaha and Kansas City and
argued In Washington. The Texas rate case
was recently decided , giving to Omaha sub
stantial advantage , while the bridge case Is
undecided and awaiting the return of Com
missioner Clemens.
Ammg the noted cased In which Mr. Me-
Hugh was counsel was thoca.ic of the United
States National bank against the City Na
tional bank of Hastings und Richard Lymer ,
receiver , In which , for the first time under
the national banking act It was held that
upon Insolvency of a national bank .1 cred
itor having collateral security could hold lils
collateral security , and also receive dividends
on the full amount due upon the claim at the
date of the failure of the Insolvent bank.
Ho Is married and has two children.
Mr. McIIugh was one of some twenty appll-
can's for the vacant Judgeshlp. Of tl.ls num.
her ton were residents of Omaha and the
others were scattered among the outside
cities and towns of the state. Ho will bo
the youngest man t.n the federal bench.
Ye-sterday after the news of the appoint
ment had reached Omaha , Mr. McIIugh'a
office was the center of Interest. His friends ,
icgardless of party , crowded In upon him
to extend their congratulations and best
wishes. Lawyers. Judges and men In othtr
walks of llfo called.
While the appointment of Mr. McIIugh
was somswhat of u surprise , It was con
ceded seine tlmo age that he had the lead
over the other candidates , as he had a pctl
tlon that was signed by a largo number of
tl.u prominent lawyers ot this judicial dls-
tilct ,
So far as politics are concerned , while Mr.
McIIugh has never been considered an offen
sive paitlsan , he has always been a democrat
and has been a strong Cleveland man. Dur
ing the recent political campaign. Instead
of going off on a frco silver tangent , ho pro
claimed the principles of old time democracy
from the stump and supported the Palmcr-
Huckner ticket from first to last.

noard of Trade and the senior member
of the firm of Woodward & Lothrop , will
piobably be chairman of the general com
mittee having In charge the ceremonies at
tending the Inauguration of President-elect

crat all his life , but he could not subscribe
to the Chicago platform and allied himself
with the gold democrats and contributed
substantially to the support of McKlnley
and Hobart. His name was submitted to
Chairman Hanna today by Mr. Myron M.
Paikcr , republican national coinmlttceman
for the district of California , and no doubt
Is felt that Mr. Hanna will approve the
recommendation. At the conference of na
tional commlttecmen , which \vas held In
Now York yesterday to consider this Im
portant matter , Mr. Parker was offered
the chairmanship of the committee himself ,
hut declined It.
It la believed that General Alger , who

WASHINGTON , Nov. 21. Senator Morgan
of Alabama in an Interview today said that
ho did not look for any action .on the Ding-
ley tariff bill or the financial question at
the coming session of congress. He , as a
democrat , was willing the republicans should
pass the Dinglcy bill , but did not believe
that party desired to so. Senator Morgan
said that though efforts might llo made to
bring about International bimetallism , he
regarded them as foredoomed to failure and
as absolutely Impracticable and likewise In
consistent with our national ' dependence.
To the question , "Will the national dem
ocrats bo admitted to the democratic cau
cuses In the senate ? " Mr , Morgan replied :
"Not nt all. Not at least without repent
ance , and none of them have uliown evi
dence of that. These gentlemen will net
wish to associate with men whom they have
denounced as anarchists , traitors and dis
honest people. It would bo expecting too
much of them to suppose they would do
anything of that kind. "

WASHINGTON. Nov. 21. The Civil Son-

for prosecution In the courts to determine
the extent tohlch the civil eorvlco law
is applicable in political n sesainout cases.
There were many complaints of Illegal as-
ssmi'iita during and preceding the recent
campaign and various casctj have bo'm gout

host result i to civil acrvlco reform. The
rnst-s present a variety of Intricate .fine-
tlons its to the jurlftdlctlon of the
law and an effort will be made
to have Iht-m Judicially construed. The
main Uauo Is as to whether solicitation of
funds for political purposes by letter ca
contr.\-dlstlngul > hcd from solicitation In pcr-
non Is a violation of the law. There nro
other perplexing qu ( tlona , niich nit the In
terpretation ot actual jurisdiction ot a fed
eral building , where only parts ot buildings
are used for federal purposed. It Is as
sorted by many persons that the law docjj
not apply In thcne cases and .there can be
Intimidation In such letters or action pro
hibited by law. The commission realizes
the poislblllty of serious consequences in\
volvcd In n decision adverse to Its coif--
trillion that the letters nro barred by law
In view of the opportunity this would offer
for obtaining funds for political purpcics.
Its position Is that failure to push the mat
ter Is merely putting off the Issue nnd
that a positive and conclusive Interpretation
ot the law an it stands Is necessary. The
case Involving the most of the various points
of contention will bo selected and the com
mission feels Its work will be thereby
strengthened. The weak points as found
may bo then remedied by legislation , which
will be niged. Though the prcaocutlon ot
the other cases will be In the usual procedure
of thn Department of Justice the test case
will be expedited nnd the commission will
bo allowed to select nny special counsel It
desires to represent It.

WASHINGTON , Nov. 21. Moreton
Frowcn , the well known English blmctalllst ,
is in town , the guest ot Senator Cameron.
In answer to inquiries as to the real rela
tions between a famine In India and cheaper
silver , Mr. Frcwcnsald : "If India has plenty
of produce to export wheat , cotton , Jute
jind other things the balance of trade Is
favorable , oo that India Is a large customer
for her money metal , silver. As matters
stand , however , India Is Importing wheat
nnd , therefore , exporting sliver to pay for
the wheat. If the famine is serious , as I
llttt. , b IIIUJ unit ; * , lllu 1-AtJll.lUKl.a , I1UL UUI }
with India , but with China and Japan , the
cheaper rates for silver greatly stimulating
the exports of both these countries. "
When Mr. Frcwen's opinion of the pro
posal of the Kansas populist legislature to
legalize the Mexican silver dollar was asked ,
he said : "Without attempting to make Mex
ican dollars legal tender , I have sometimes
thought that If your twenty-iwo silver
states cliche to make the Mexican dollar
current within their states , by general agree
ment , such a silver currency might bo very
useful. If the state legislatures In states
occupied by perhaps 30.000,000 of your people
aald : 'We will take our local revenues , and
will also pay our employes at the rate of
three Mexican dollars for two standard
dollars , ' then If the bimetallism theory Is
correct , the ratio of Mexican dollars to
standard dollars which today Is 2 to 1 ,
might probably rise to 3 to 2. "

WI1BHTY , Mo. , Nov. 21. The expected
happened tonight , when Young William
Folsy was nrreatexl , charged with the murder
of his mother and sister , and taken to Jail.
The nrrciit resulted from the finding of the
coroncr'8 Jury , which returned Its verdict
at a late hour. The farmers of Clay county
are In an angry mood , as a result of the
revolting tragedy at the Foley farm , and
there U a strong sentiment against the
young man , hut at the same time * , the evi
dence against htm does not seem to bo con
vincing , and It Is not thought there will be
any violent demonstration.
It was nearly midnight before the cor
oner's Jury returned their verdict accusing
young Foley. The young man , accompanied
by his brother-in-law , was awaiting In the
sheriff's olllce. When Coroner Sovler had
sworn out the warrant charging Foley with
murder , the youth was given to understand
that he was In the sheriff's custody. Sheriff
Hymer , feeling that It would bo unwlae
to take any chances , considering the anger
that has been aroused nil over Clay county ,
began making preparations nt once to rc-
mo\o his prisoner to the Jackson county
jail at Independence , or to Kansas City.
By daylight the youth , In all probability , will
have been removed from Clay county. So
far as cap bo learned , the evi
dence against Foley Is all circumstan
tial. It was shown that he must
have been very near home when his
mother and sister were slain and there was
every Indication that the murder hid been
committed by EOIIIO ono entirely familiar
with everything about the house. Young
Folcy's dog had been carefully locked In
the cellar , apparently to prevent any dis
turbance from this source. The gun with
which the two women were shot had been
( alien from tins youth's bedroom and the
loaded shells filled with heavy shot , had
been picked from among those carrying
lighter charges by a hand familiar with the
things In the room. In addition to all this
It Is stated that William Foley previous to
the murder had seldom been seen without
a pair of canvas leggings , that ho wore
them when last scon previous to the mur-
uuin. i uw uiiu ui iiiuau iifKM'H'9 u-imiui uv
found. It Is susplcloned that Foley must
have had some object In disposing of
It , and It Is hinted that perhaps this gar
ment , could It be found , would bear evi
dences cf blood stains. But , notwithstand
ing the charges Uy the coroner's Jury and
this seemingly Incriminating evidence ,
young William Foley has always borne an
excellent reputation. Perhaps the only thing
that can be said against hU reputation Is
that he has frequently quarreled with his
mother In his efforts to Induce her to con
sent to a division of his father's estate. In
these quarrels his murdered sister had sided
with her mother. The Folcys are considered
rich amcng the farmers of Clay county and
Influential. There Is no doubt but the sur
viving sister of the youth and his other rela
tives will exert every inllucncc to clear the
culprit from the terrible charge that has
been entered against him.
KANSAS CITY , Mo. , Nov. 21. A special
to the Star from Liberty , Mo. , says : The
coroner's Jury In the Foley double murder
case Is still hearing testimony behind closed
doors. Public sentiment against young
Foley , the son and brother. Is growing
stronger and evidence damaging to him la
said to have been given to the coroner's
Jury.
The officers are looking for one of Foley's
riding leggings , which may prove an Im
portant factor In the case. Up to the time
of the murder Foley was always known to
wear leggings. Since then one of them has
been mUsIng , and the theory that It became
smeared with blood and was destroyed for
that reason Is expressed.
