THE OASEJJF O'BRIEN Hade the Subject of Jeering* and Sarcastic Comment by Balfour. Evident Rejoicing of the Cold- Blcoded Secretary in His Victim's Suffering's. Bernhardt Scores a Success in a Play of Lugubrious Character. The Crown Prince The Gen- eral Record of News From At road. By Ceble to the Globe. London, Nov. 25.- Arthur .1. Bal- four's letter to Mr. Armitage concern- ing the treatment of Mr. O'Brien in Tullamore jail exactly discloses the position of the government with refer- ence to the refractory editor, the pre- cise definition of which is summarized in the chief secretary's final paragraph here reproduced: "I understand that in refusing to wear prison garb Mr. O'Brien conceives himself to be light- ing for a principle. Concerning the point he raises and upon which his con- tention is based there need be no differ- ence between us. When a convict who is able to plead for leniency on the ground that be his a weak heart and delicate lung- refuses to wear the dress --escribed by the prison in which be is incarcerated force will not be applied to compel him to conform to i he rules in this respect.'- Mr. Balfour's ! etter as a whole is an exceedingly- I sarcastic attempt to belittle the prevail- ing Irish methods of agitation, and con- firms the determination of the govern- ment to treat all Irish prisoners as com- mon felons, the only exceptions being those who may plead "weak hearts and delicate lungs" and be sustained in their claims to leniency by the prison physicians. THE SEARCH of the premises occupied by Callan and Harkins is still in progress." and the dis- coveries made stamp the prisoners as more important in the estimation of the police than any men arrested on similar charges in years. In addition to the numerous parcels of dynamite found in and about Callan's lodgings a day or two ago. a package containing several pounds of the explosive was found in one of his trunks to-day. and the police are confident that he lias been success- ful in in hiding still more of the deadly compound, which they expect to un- earth shortly. At Harkins" residence nothing has "as yet been found, but the search is continued with the same ear- nestness and confidence that character- izes the explorations of Callan's lodg- ing- and their environments. Bernhardt' Lai est. Paris, Nov. 25. Sarah Bernhardt re- Appeared in the Porte St. Martin last evening in Sardou's tragedy, "La Tofica."' The play i- lugubrious and re- pulsive, but givesa character admirably suited to Mine. Bernhardt** talents. She was well supported, the leading parts being taken by Berton and Du- ne, nv. The play is splendidly mounted and elicited the greatest enthusiasm. The house was crowded, many literary and political celebrities being present. The Crown Prince. Berlin, Nov. 25. In the reichstag to-day the president read a telegram from the crow prince in response to the message of sympathy sent by that body yesterday, thanking them for their sympathy and expressing the hope that the favorable turn in bis ailment which has already resulted from his stay in tlie south would permit him to resume to the full extent his duties to the fath- erland. A Queer Political Issue. London. Nov. 25.— The absurd crisis in the Swedish diet is attracting the at- tention of all Europe. The existence of the cabinet, the free trade policy of the government and the whole course of liberal legislation are put in peril be- cause a few years ago a man in Stock- holm neglected to pay hi- taxes. This man at the last election was elected with twenty-one others as a member of the lower house. By a peculiar law, if oue mem on {the list of twenty-two candidates is ineligible for election, the whole twenty -two, who are voted for to- gether as a group, are declared disqual- ified. This one man's fault disqualifies all his companions who wen- elected by a large majority. Opposed to the free raders are twenty-two protectionists, -o the free trade city of Stockholm will •crepresented by twenty-two protec- tionists. But it is said one of the pro- ectionists is disqualified, so thai will v. brow out his twenty-one colleagues. The next in order are the socialists. lio also had a ticket in the field, and it is barely possible that twenty-two social- ists wilt sit in the diet. The French How. PASIS, Nov. 25.—Le Paris says M. iouvier informed M. tlrevy that he •would read the hitter's message to the chamber only on condition that he should withdraw his acceptance of the resignation of the present ministry and bitterly reprocned the presi- dent for having accepted them before the operation of converting the •ministry had been concluded. Presi- dent Grevy stubbornly resists the de- mands for his immediate resignation. The press unanimously condemn the prolongation of the crisis. The I'aix says that President Grevy will not re- sign before he has placed the republic in a safe position. It declares that the Orleans princes are very active, and •warns republicans to reflect on the course they are taking. A meeting will .a- held in the Belleville quarter to-night o adopt measures, as the call says, to •onform to the situation. John 3lorley*s Statements. London, Nov. 25. Mr. John Morley- in a speech at Hull this evening, sar castieally said it was very interesting to see Tories advocating protection, and asked his hearers if they believed .John 'bight would support a crown duty on •bin. Lord Salisbury's refusal to give i measure of local self-government to reland, he said, was a breach of the hedges given by all of his ministers, md the Irish leaders would oppose to he utmost any land-purchase scheme as . substitute for home rule. Due to an Error. .oxdon, Nov. 25.— The jury in the -cholien inquest returned their opinion ibis evening that the collision was due <> an error of judgment 011 the part of ti*officers ofthe Scholten in Irving to I;-- the bows of the lio-a Mary with- ..ijt,' milking allowance for the strong tide which was Sowing. The jury highly praised the conduct of the oftf- Stas "and crew of the Fbro. At the ! suggestion of the coroner the clause in ' the verdict referring to erroneous judg- ment was stricken out.

Minister Phelps proposed a toast to the prince who returned the compliment in a flattering speech, ex- pressing the hope also that the present good feeling between England and America would long continue. Mr. Phelps responded, referring to the kindness the Prince of Wales had shown to foreign representatives, especially Americans, whether in a public or pri- vate capacity, who were worth] of the honor. Can Fight Their Own Rattles. London, Nov. 25.— Michael Davitt in a speech at Carlisle to-day declared that the Irish would settle the land question with the landlords without assistance. He therefore hoped that the support of the Irish members would be withheld from any land purchase scheme pro- posed by England, even though the bill should be introduced by Mr. Gladstone. Fraud Alleged. London, Nov. 25.— magistrate presiding at the Westminster police court granted a summons to-night against Henry Louis Bischoffsheim on a charge of obtaining £47,000 by false pretenses from James McHenry. The transaction . between McHenry and ] Bischoffsheim was in connection with the ' Atlantic & Great Western railway, and the alleged fraud was committed in 1874. A Liberal Split. London, Nov. 25. probable split will shortly occur in the National Lib- eral club. Eighty-eight members have made a requisition upon the committee to convene a meeting to debate the reso- lution that in the interests of the party the members should actively engage in political work. Many Unionist and < iladstonian members oppose such action on the ground that the club comprises all sctions of the Liberal party. He Can't Sell Papers. Di id.ix, Nov. 25.— Dennis MeNamara, a shopkeeper at Ennis, has been sen- tenced to a week's imprisonment tor selling copies of United Ireland. Will- iam O'Brien's paper, the selling of which has been proclaimed. This is the first instance in which a person has been prosecuted for selling papers. Parnell. London, Nov.

Special to the Globe. Omaha, Neb.. Nov. 25.— Assistant Superintendent Hoy and Inspectors Howard and Kinney left for Minneapo- i lis to-night with Pete Barrett They! at first anticipated being stopped in Council Bluffs, but the friends of the | accused murderer, his mother and At- ; torney Sears, the counsel, instead of trying to hold him in the country, left for Minneapolis on the same " train with the prisoner. To a Globe cor- respondent the detectives again ex- i plained the fact to-day that they hail a ! clear case on Barrett, "No,*' -.aid De- '. tective Howard. "I have not got the : cash box which belonged to the ear driver, but we found it all right where we were told Pete Barrett hid it. and when it comes to a \u25a0-how j down the box will be produced in I court.** Hoy said: "We don't want to j say anything about the case- because it would give the defendant's lawyer a ; chance to formulate a defense. Three detectives have worked steadily on the \ case since last July, and we owe our success to a woman and some family \ trouble. "The GI.ORE correspondent had i a talk with Barrett to-day through the courtesy of the Omaha police. Barrett said: "i did not kill Tollefson, ami was ! not mixed up in ii. although 1 do not say 1 don't know anything about it. 1 i don't want to say anything about the j matter until I see my mother, What- ever she says 1 will do. I's boys had a ! hard name, and while we may be tough, we are honest and would not kill ' any person. 1 intend to make my mother defend in*', and as she ha-- lots of money, she will have to fight it to the end. I want a trial here in Omaha, but | if they say 1 have got to go back to Mm- > neapolis, then 1 will go." THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR. Mr. Powderiy Delivers a Lecture in Aid ofthe Striking "Miners. Philadelphia, Nov. •*.*>.— "The Past, Present and Future of the Knights of i Labor,"' formed the subject cf what j was termed a lecture by General Master | Workman L. V. Powderiy this evening in Industrial hall in aid of the miners i on a strike in the anthracite coal region. The body of the hall was comfortably- tilled with knights and their friends, among whom were many women. Mr. Powderiy spoke without" notes, and by no means confined himself to his sub- i ject. After denouncing monopoly as j something that, if allowed ' to j have its way, would make this ' laud a living hell, ami the most accursed under heaven, the : speaker glanced at the early history of the knights, whose organization he" de- j clared was "the strongest in point of! numbers, intelligence and manhood of any that ever blessed any country." After saying considerable about immi- ] gration and the necessity for restricting j it to those able to understand the priv- I (leges of the country, Mr. Powderiy \ turned to the troubles in this j state ami said. "A breaker is ! burned and the telegraph conveys the I news that the miners have burned it. 1 say that is a barefaced lie. The miners ; know better than to burn down a breaker which gives them their work. No miner ever burned a breaker in the entile length and breadth of Pennsyl- sylvania.*" Mr. Powderiy then said that the government should take the coal fields for its own use. so that in case of war it should not be compelled to rely on corporations for the coal for its ves- sels to carry on warfare against the enemy. He advocated the government controlling and owning the telegraph, and then branched off on the political party of the Knights of Labor, closing with the remark that the Knights of Labor were not going to pieces. am : The Scholten Disaster. New York, Nov. 25.—The New York agent of the Netherland American Steamship company has been informed that thirteen passengers of the steamer Scholten. reported missing, are now known to have been saved.

He Must Suffer Death on the Gallows About Three Months Hence. Progress of the Arensdorf Trial—General News of the Northwest. Special to the Glebe. Evi Claire, Wis., Nov. 25.— Early this morning the sheriff, chief of police and five other officers raided two dens of infamy near the city limits. Atone place all the inmates and customers had received warning from pals and no one was found. At Barkers place nine women. Barker ami a hired watchman were arrested. The place was fullof men, but they Climbed out of the back windows and escaped in livery rigs which were hitched around the bouse. Barker, who is from the iron range sec- tion and is said to have kept a place near Hurley, became proprietor ot this den after the recent flight of the old proprietor, the notorious Mackey, who forfeited $1,000 bail by skipping. Barker had bragged that he could bribe the district attorney and sheriff to leave him unmolested. Barker was held for trial this afternoon and the women and watchman heavily fined. The authori- ties are determined to clean out these places. . . . . \u25a0 fV:.. SENTENCE PRONOUNCED. Holong:, the Scandinavian Mur- derer, Must Suffer Death. Special to the Globe. Fergus Falls, Minn., Nov. 23.— The I sentence which every one has expected has been finally passed upon Nels Olson Holong, the murderer of I.illie Field. It was the first business transacted after court opened this afternoon. There wen' but a few present in the court room at the time. Judge Baxter not an- nouncing when the sentence would be made, as he did not desire any scene or unnecessary excitement. Holong's i brother ami sister, however, came in and insisted on staying, in spite of the advice of the officers. The sister sue- | : ceeded in restraining her feelings until ; [ the sentence bad been passed and the ; prisoner taken from the room. The j brother, however, began taking on at once, anil as soon as Wis was removed he was taken out by the officers, as he refused to go or to cease his disturbance. i Sols did not appear -any different than he has during "the trial. When the judge was about to begin he was com- ' manded to stand up, which he did. but j as usual inclined his head on his elbow on the clerk's desk ami gazed at the floor. When the judge asked him if he had tilingto say why the sentence! should not be passed upon him he looked inquisitively at Attorney Rawson, but i said nothing. Mr. Kawson, in his be- ! half, stated that he did not know that ! anything else could be said or done, as they bad exhausted every source. The judge then began his ADDRESS TO THE Tills*>M-T!. During the entire proceedings there : was no trace of emotion on his face, i Either he did not realize his awful fate j or he did not care. The judge ordered ! him removed to the jail ami he was at I once taken back, the sheriff instructing j the jailer not to allow any one to see I him. The following is Judge Baxter's address and sentence: '•The jury having found you guilty of the charge upon which you were tried, it remains for the court to pronounce the judgment I fixed by law for the high crime of which ! you have been convicted. Your counsel I claim that the court has the discretion- j ary power to sentence of death. I should be glad to agree with them in ! this case, but am unable to do so. The ! exceptional circumstances which would i justify the court in inflicting anon you ! the lowest penalty that of imprison- ment for life— do not exist 111 this case. j There is no discretionary power vested I in the court in eases of this kind. To i justify the sentence of imprisonment for life, the com t must first certify of record its opinion that by reason of ex- ceptional circumstances, the case is not one in which the penalty of death should be imposed. But the records in this case will be searched in vain for any evidence whatever of such exceptional circumstances, or any circumstances to which 1 can certify of record as a justi- fication for any sentence other than that of death. If the statutes had provided that in such eases the court might in its discretion send the defendant to impris- onment instead of inflicting the extreme penalty, then upon a verdict of guilty the court could, of course, without giving any reason for its action, properly pro- nounce either THE SENTENCE OF DEATH or Imprisonment for life; but under our present statute no such discretionary power exists. You have had a fair trial and have been skillfully defended by able counsel. All that could be done to save you from the fate that now awaits you has been dune, but an intelligent and impartial jury have found you guilty of the dime of murder in the first degree, and they were fully justi- fied by the evidence in doing so." They could not, under the circumstances. have done otherwise, and the penalty fixed by law as punishment for the crime of which they have found you guilty must follow. You should not de- ' ceive yourself with the vain hope that any earthly power will interfere to stay the hand of the law or prevent the car- rying out of the sentence about to be passed upon you. but you should look for pardon and forgiveness only to Him \ that is the source of all power. It is considered and adjudged and the judg- ment of this court is that you, Nels Olson Holong. as punishment for the crime of murder in the first degree of which you have been convicted he j taken from here to the common jail of ' Otter Tail county and there confined for the period of ninety days, and that , thereafter, at" a time to lie fixed by the governor of the state of Minnesota, you be taken from thence to the place ' of execution and there hanged by the I neck until you are dead." ; The last hanging which occurred in ' this state was at Duluth some three j ears ago and the first case under the ! restoration of capital punishment. Sheriff Brandenburg, of this county, was present and witnessed the execu- tion. He did not think then that he would be the next one to perform the j disagreeable duty. The execution will probably occur about Friday, the 24th < day of February. The law says that i it shall not he less than thirty days after < conviction, nor more than six months. 1 There is place in our jaiL, and a yard 1 will be \u25a0- constructed outside, in -which the scaffold will be erected. THE ARBNSDOJRF TKIAL. A Witness on Hand Who Claims Leavitt Killed Haddock. Special to the Globe. Sioux" City, 10., Nov. 25. 1n the Arensdorf trial to-day the time has been largely taken up in proving the bad character and general unreliability of the Josephsons who testified Tuesday that they saw Arensdorf shoot Haddock. A number of witnesses were introduced from Yankton, where Josephson and his wife lived previous to coming to Sioux City. All told the same sto.iy as to the character of the state's witnesses, both morally ami otherwise. James Junk and James Scollard said they could not remember having seen John Robinson in Junk's saloon just previous to the murder, although they admitted tbat be might have been there. Robinson's testimony on Monday went far towards establishing the fact that Arensdorf went with the crews from Junk's to the place of the killing, and spoils the force of his alibi evidence. Mrs. Satler, who worked at the Lone Star res- taurant at the time of the killing, swore that the Josephsons de- livered milk there at i'»::iO p. m. that day, and not at 10 o'clock as they testify. The defense has a new witness in the person of a Mrs. Patterson. Her evi- dence will be equally sensational as that of the Josephsons. Mrs. Patterson is a woman of middle age and earns her living doing washing and other work from place to place. Her testimony will be to the effect that "on the evening of the "killing she had been doing some work at Mrs. Friable s "* house on West Third street. She was returning home, and when near the scene of the "killing, she saw a man whom she recognized as Leavitt walk out from a crowd and shoot Haddock. He then ran away, but in so doing he ran against her. as she stood about thirty feet from the little black- smith shop, and dropped his pistol.'' lt was about at that place that the revolver was found, with one empty chamber. Mrs. Patterson was deterred from testi- fying through fear. The Dcs Moines Fire. Special to the Globe. Dcs Moines, 10., Nov. 25.— The fire at Windsor's packing house burned all last night and to-day and is not yet ex- tinguished. The cured meat with which the cellar is filled is blazing furiously. Passengers on the Burlington train re- port having seen the lire last night as i far as lndianohi. twenty-live miles away. 1 J. 11. Windsor, owner of the house, says lie will not rebuild until spring, but has | already leased the Ellsworth packing ! house near the scene of the fire and will ' conduct his operations there until his foreign contracts are filled. He esti- j mates the loss at 1250,000. upon which there is insurance in the amount of $195,000 almost exclusively in Eastern companies. There is a slavage of about ; $10,000, which is due entirely to the water supply furnished by the pumps of the International distillery. If it had not been tor the fact that the distillery is closed by the prohibitory law the fire would, no doubt, have been squelched in its incipicncy and the heavy loss avoided. The Sioux Reservation. Special to the Globe. --\u25a0 :'"'" I'M-ii!:. Dak., Nov. Hon. J. J. Kleiner and Commissioner McClure will depart to-morrow for Washington to work for the opening of the Sioux reser- vation at the coining session of congress J A new bill has been drafted similar to the Dawes bill with many objectionable points left out. Greater efforts than ever before will be made by all Dakota to have this bill passed. The prospects were never better that the bill will go through without opposition. The In- dians prefer this way of (fibrosing of the reservation to an allotment of the land in severalty; as they get more pay for the land under the provisions of the bill to be submitted to congress. Huron -Hoard of Trade. Special to the Globe. Ht'isox, Dak.. Nov. 24.— Enthusiastic citizens met and re-organized the Huron board of trade by electing the following officers: President, William T.

SAMPLE ANARCHISTS. Testimony Introduced on Be- half of the Notorious Herr Most i ; By Foreigners Who Have No Belief in the Existence of a God, And Don't Know Whether the Union is a Republic or a Monarchy. Illinois Has a Small Sheol in Hardin County Joe Maekin's Case. "Sew York. Nov. 25.— The trial of nerr Most was continued to-day. Coun- sel, in the opening address, declared that it was not Most, but freedom of speech that was on trial. He proposed to prove that the detectives who testified to Must's language were not present at j the meeting; that the published reports were incorrect : that the reporter who had written a fair report of Most's speech would be produced: that Most would tell his own story, and that those present would swear that when one of his auditors ' wanted to begin the work of destruction jat once, Most counseled patience. j Adolph Schenck, convicted with Most last year for talking in an unlawful as- i semblage, was the first witness. Officer Sachs had testified that Schenck pre- .sided at the meeting and introduced Most. Schenck swore that he was on Staten Island on the night in question. He admitted that he was an anarchist and in favor of bringing about, a revolu- tion of society by force if necessary. He described anarchy as a condition of tilings wherein people ruled them- •elves in communities without any state or general government, without "courts : iind without law. Common sense should j be the only rule of conduct. There j should be | no punishment fob wrong doing except the guilty person's own con- science, which in time would set him right. Schenck did not believe there was a Cod to punish, perjury, but was aware that there was a worldly punish- I ment for false swearing, and he intend- ed that Policeman Sachs should get the ! full extent of if. Moritz Sclmlt/.er. a i printer in the Freiheit office, swore j thai he presided at the meet- : ing and introduced Most, and thai Schenck was not present. Schultzer stated that Most addressed his hearers as ••fellow Citizens," not "Fellow Slaves*" or "Brother Anar- chists." and that when a voice called out. "Revenge" Most replied.: "Not to- I v ny, the revenge is Idd in the lap of the uiure."' Witness insisted that Most had not recommended the assassination of Grinnell. Gary or anybody else, nor had he counseled any violation of the law. Charles Judas attended the meet- ing. He testified to having seen Reporter Dreyfus leaving the meeting before he finished speaking. Witness did not be- lieve in God.* lie gave a wild version "f Most's speech. Anarchy, he said, meant "they have everything upright and straight.'-? He believed that when anarchy should prevail . there would be jno criminals. Smile Koss/s said Most made do threat that night.

Progress of the Sanguinary Feud in Hardin County. Ei.izaiiethtown, 111.. Nov. 25.—The Hardin County vendetta, which threat- ened to depopulate two counties a few months ago, has broken out again. and two more desperate manhunters have been rushed hence without having ail opportunity to remove their boots. The cemetery record shows a total of thirteen killed. five of whom have taken their departure this year. The story of the tragedy that provoked the feud is well known throughout Southern Illi- nois. Ten years ago, Logan Belt, a des- perate character, shot and killed Doc Oldham id a dame in the Oldham home- stead. Both men were among the most prominent in the country, and the ex- citement reached a high pitch. The community took sides, and when Wash Covert, a witness for the prosecution, was laid low with a charge of buckshot the trouble began. Luke Hornbrink, who was connected with the Oldham faction, was assassinated on his door- step. Ed Belt was soon after shot from ambush and killed. Logan Belt was sent to the penitentiary for the killing of Doc Oldham, and Bill Fraley went up for the shooting of Covert. During the trial a ku-klux organization, of which Belt was captain, and which con- tained some of the best men in the county, was exposed. This band was called "Sons of Liberty,'* and its osten- sible object was to "regulate*' citizens. While Belt and Fraley were in the pen- itentiary a couple of men were killed on each side. After they were released 11ELT WAS I'.VIWI1 1) for the assassination of Hornbrink. and ' was tried last spring and acquitted. Three weeks later he was shot dead ' from ambush. Two weeks after ('apt. Logan Belt's death his brother, Jim Belt was shot and killed on the same spot, Cave-in-Bock. These assassinations pro- duced great consternation, and the friends of the Belt faction, among whom , wasKarl Sherwood and others, received ' orders to emigrate, ami they moved into an adjoining county. Then Judge Hess, of the circuit court, who presided at Belts trial, was threatened with death i if lie did not leave. He armed himself 1 and is -till here. Last Tuesday night a J dance was given at a farm house hear Battery Bock. Among Ihose who at- ! tended was Joe Blair, a Belt partisan, ' andSoe Hugleton, a relative of Old- ' ham's. Bill Fraley. who removed Coy- ' ert,' was also among the spectators. ' About 2 o'clock in the morning the fes- ' tivities were terminated by the report of a pistol and Hugleton staggered back l against the wall, while Blair" advanced ' on him with the weapon. Before the ' aggressor could fire again Hugleton sprang upon him like a tiger, and dur- ing the struggle that ensued the lights 5 were extinguished, a half dozen more shots were fired and the dancers rushed " panic-stricken out of the house. Ten 1 minutes after the first pistol shot all ' was quiet again and a half dozen young 'I men returned. They lighted lanterns ' and found two corpses twined together ' on the floor. Hugleton had been shot ' twice through the body, but ' had sue- ( ceeded in drawing a knife and the re- ' suit of his awful work was Been in the « twelve wounds on Blair's body. The in- ' quest exonerated the others from blame, ' ; There May Be Fun Ahead. ' Chicago, Nov. 25.—State's Attorney J Grinnell, who is trying to have the < bucket shop keepers indicted, said to- I day that the latter had promised him proof that the regular board of trade was nothing but a "big bucket shop. If the proof was forthcoming he declared he would bring the caseof the board be- fore the grand jury. JOE MACKLX. An Unfounded Report Relative to Attempts to Secure His Par- don. . CHICAGO, Nov. 25.— report sent out from this city to the effect that an application would be made this week to Gov. Oglesby for the pardon of Joseph Chesterfield Maekin, the notorious bal- lot box stulier, who is serving out a term of five years in the Juliet peniten- tiary for perjury, upon investigation to- day'is most emphatically denied by the friends of the ex-politician and whilom secretary of the Cook county Democ- racy. "Mike" McDonald, the only in- dividual who would be prone to head any movement to secure the liberation of his former private secretary, is more busily at work trying to secure the release of bis own brother, "Ed" McDonald, trom the Cook county jail, and has been very industriously employed in this direction for some months past. The statutes, moreover, demand that the grounds upon which the pardon of any convict within the state peniten- tiary is sought at the hands of the gov- ernor with the names of the petitioners fully set forth be published several months before any such application may be made or could be entertained by the governor. Nothing of this kind has been done, nor from surrounding cir- cumstances is there any likelihood of such a petition being published with signatures commending it to favorable action on the part of the governor. The statement that "a large delegation will make the attack on Gov. Oglesby this week" is declared to be not only a groundless and silly fabrication, but to- tally opposed to the only legal method of procedure open to any of Maekin's acquaintances who were sanguine enough to believe that the governor might be induced to shorten the term of his imprisonment. State Attorney Grinnell's significant reference to Mike "McDonald's close alliance with the con- victed county thieves and the expressed belief that his culpability was as great, if not greater, in open court during the trial would rather invalidate than strengthen any petition to the governor bearing his signature for a commutation of Joseph Maekin's sentence. More- over, SINCE HIS CONVICTION Col. 11. S. Tuthill, who was then United States district attorney, and through whose prosecution Maekin was brought to punishment, has been ele- vated to the Cook county judiciary bench with State's Attorney Grinnell. Neither of these judges, from their new and more exalted positions, would be likely to recommend executive leniency j in so notorious a case as that of the bal- j lot-box exploiter, and "other men prom- | inent in the councils of the Democratic | party" congratulate themselves upon j the fact that the disclosures as to the | breaking into the vaults in County Clerk I M- W. Ryan's oflice. did not extend at j the time any further than they did. | When the vault was opened the envel- ope containing the legitimate ballots was ! taken- out, the fraudulent ones substi- i tuted by Maekin and his confederates ) either inside or outside of the county | clerk's oflice and the vault doors closed j again by parties who must certainly j have known the combination of the < vault door. County Clerk Ryan himself I as well as his Chief Clerks Biehl, ('lea- son and Dwyer did not altogether es- j cape suspicion. So many hearts would j ache that the "prominent Democrats"" j are as surprised as they are satisfied that the conspirators who penetrated to ! the very vaults of the county clerk's oflice and effected the political rape of its contents got off so easily, and that one whose silence could be bought was chosen to do vicarious punishment for the whole. It is true that M. C. McDon- ald, the once notorious gambler and po- \ litical boss of Chicago, is still .Maekin's ! friend and patron, and it is equally true j that no one whose name would be likely to have weight with the governor and j representing the better element cf the j Democratic party, would care to asso- ciate their signature with .McDonald's! in an application to the governor for Maekin's pardon.

London,- Nov. 38, 4 a. m.— The Daily Telegraph publishes the advance prin- ter's slips of Ignatius Donnelly's book on the authorship of Shakespeare's works. The book will be published by Sampson & Lowe. The Telegraph says: "Donnelly himself is the impostor, he would make Shake- speare, or he is deluded by his own prepossessions and deep poring over plays, . or -he is entirely right, having found the clue where Bacon intended it should he found, in which case the hidden narrative is au- thentic." ,7:7/7-7 Child Burned to Death, Special to the Globe.

Mrs. Bother went out of the house to took after the child, and was thrown into great amazement upon see- ing her little boy almost surrounded , ivith flames, his clothing catching fire from burning paper which was lit with Hatches by his companions.

A Struggle at Deadwood Be tween Lines Anxious to Enter the City. . New Lines Projected in Da kota General Railway Intelligence. A few weeks ago. when the Minnesota A Northwestern and the Burlington i Northern withdrew from the train managers* meeting because the Milwau kee & St. Paul would not withdraw tin milling in transit business, the Milwau kee & St. Paul threatened, by way o retaliation, to cut the rates betw*eei Council Bluffs ane Chicago. It wai thought that this threat was madi simply to compel the Chicago, Burling ton & Quincy to bring an Influence t( bear to compel the Burlington & North crn to come into the arrangement foi the rates in the Northwest establishei by the Milwaukee ft St. Paul and tin roads acting with the latter. Thi threat has not served its purpose as the Chicago, Burlington ft Quincj has done nothing in regard to the mat ter. and so far as can be judged does noi propose to do anything. The Milwau kee has now given the required notice to cut the rates as it threatened to do. and next Tuesday is the time for the meeting to be held to consider the mat- ter. A well-known railroad man re marked yesterday: "This proceeding on the part of the Milwaukee ft St. Paul road looks like a very foolish bluff. Nc man that understands the railroad situ ation can for a moment think that the latter road can have any serious though! of putting in effect such a foolish and absurd threat. The situation is very much changed from what it was a few years ago, when this same Milwaukee ft St. Paul road .„ -.; . used THIS CT.rn with good effect against the Chicago. Burlington A- Quincy to bring it into line, it cannot use it that way now. I If it should attempt to do so tne Mil- waukee ft St. Paul would suffer in the same way. though not perhaps to quite the same extent, as would the Burling- ton ft Quincy. It must be borne in mind in considering this matter that now this club of the Milwaukee ft St. Paul company has been turned into a two-edged sword and cuts both ways, i for the reason that now the latter road has opened its new line to Kansas City, and just as soon as it cuts- the rates be- tween Council Bluffs and Chicago the cut will extend all the way down the river, taking in Kansas City and ail. The fact is, that just as soon as this threatened cut is made, the bottom has gone out of all the rates all through that section. Then what becomes '•.of the Milwaukee ft St. Paul, and how much does she gain by her cut*? It looks to me just as though the latter road has overdone the threatening business, and as though that club that used to be so effective has come to be powerless. I am curious to see how this road will wriggle out of the hole it has got into. When the roads meet next Tuesday and the Burlington ft Quincy refuses to do anything, what will the Milwaukee ft St. Paul do. That's the question." A Struggle at Deadwood. Special to the Glooe. Deadwood, Nov. 25.— local war between the railroad schemes continues to the dissatisfaction of the public. The enterprise called the Deadwood ft Black Hills road was finally refused the right of way through the city at the regular monthly session of the council. The significance of this action can be best understood by outsiders when it is explained that so' narrow is a part of the city between the flanking cliffs that there is not room for the passage of more than one railroad track without closing the street there and bisecting the city as to traffic. Three surveys have been run through this canyon and the stakes stand there side by side, and the road that gets the right of way through this pass will practically control the en- trance to the city. The Elkhorn com- pany made a survey early in the season, and a delegation ol our citizens tendered the company bonuses and the right of way through. Now a new corporation asks to take the right of way. A third enterprise asks to take the same right of way for itself. A third line will ask the same in the nature of a monopoly. This struggle excites a good deal of in- terest of the people here, when it is necessary for us all to do our best, and may and probably will degenerate into a war of factions. Altogether the situa- tion is one upon which our people look with the most anxious interest. IXTKT4STATK. Yesterday's Proceedings Before the Commission. Washington*, Nov. 25.— F. Mitch- ell, general freight agent of the West- ern division of the Newport News ft Mississippi Valley Bailroad company, was the first witness examined to-day before the interstate commission in con- nection with the Standard Oil cases. In respect to the fact of a difference in rate as between oil transported in tanks and that carried in barrels, and to the reasons justifying such difference, his testimony was substantially like that of the other freight men who preceded him. He declared that his company in- variably charged for transporting oil in tank cars at so much per car, irrespect- ive of its capacity. Thereupon a series of logs were produced, showing that he had negotiated with complainant, mak- ing a rate on a capacity of 20,000 pounds per car, and a rate on the ex- cess. Witness" only explanation was that the amanuensis must have IXTKKPOJ.ATED MATTER into the dictated correspondence in each case. Other letters not in har- mony with the law were also presented. John C. Gault, general manager of the Cincinnati, New Orleans ft Texas Pa- cific railroad, was sworn and liis evidence was similar to that given by the general freight agent of * the same :company. Some questions were asked with respect tothe relations between witness" road and the Louisville ft Nashville, and it was developed, rather under protest, that there had been a disagreement in policy some time back, owing to the de- termination of witness' company to \u25a0jive a strict interpretation to the inter- state commerce law; while he was cog- nizant of a determination on the part of the management of the other road prac- tically to injure the long and the short haul feature of the law on the theory that the "circumstances and conditions were always such as to justify the rates. Cien- \u25a0_m-—_—?ir&___i__m—a£__*Jhß_f&im—r^^ eral Freight Agent E. W. Hows, of tho Louisville, New Orleans & Texas rail- I road, was examined with respect to the difference in rates. D. B. Morey. of New Orleans.general freight agent of tho a Southern division of the Illinois Central railroad, was sworn. To ; all points except New Orleans, he said, the rates were the s.une upon oil in tanks as in barrels. As a matter of fact New Orleans was, however, the only point to which oil was carried in tanks. 11. (". * Pierce, of the Walter S.Pierce com- -1 pany, of St. Louis, submitted certain documentary information called for by subpoena. On cross-examination by J. S. Blair for the Iron Mountain road, witness said his company always paid the full published rates on oil, and had NEVER RECEIVED REBATE. - O. C. Murray, freight traffic manager of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & South- ern road, submitted papers called for by subpoena and was examined upon the general principles governing shipments and movements upon oil. W. J. Brutid- red, of Oil City, general agent - of the Green line, the oil trans- portation line of the Pennsylvania railroad, testified that shipping to the sea-board, the Pennsylvania compan* makes no difference in charges whethei in tanks or barrels. A barrel of oil ia reckoned at 400 pounds, including the a barrel, while in a tank 315 pounds is fc charged for at barrel rates. It was c also shown that box cars having oil L : in barrels went back loaded with coke, while the tank cars were hauled back empty. The examination of wit- '" ness was not concluded to-day. The f Mobile & Ohio Railroad company, in an- l swer to the complaint of Mr. Bice, s has put in a plea that the c company has changed the rates - of which complaint was mad -> Counsel for Mr. Rice have agreed that - there is no complaint against the com- r p iny's new rates, and that the only re- -1 maining ground of complaint is that 3 less is charged from St. Louis and Cairo i to Mobile than to intermediate points. , Upon this point the road claims, / under the rulings of the eommis- - j sion, that water competition jus- t I tifies the lesser long haul rates. - counsel for the eases named in the three » j Standard Oil cases, which are to be tried , hereafter in a separate batch, having ; moved that Mr. Bice, the complainant, - be required to give a bill of particulars - J specifying dates, etc.. the chairman has * | made a ruling as follows: "If the com- I j plainant relies upon specific instances of > I discrimination he should file a state- - ! ment in the nature of a bill of partieu- > lars, but if what he expects to show is t only a general course of conduct, tho 1 effect of which is to work a discrimina- * tion as between the Standard Oil coin- * pany and himself, a bill of particulars ; is not essential." -.' Complainant's coun- sel say it is the general course of con- duct they rely upon. ' Xew Dakota Roads. . Special to the Globe. •' ! Fa it*-; o, Nov. 25.—As the eye of the ! Fargoite looks over the situation, v.i ii i the added avidity of local option.it rests : ' hopefully upon the promise of several [ new railroads the coming year. These, ' if they materialize, will open up several flourishing districts to the traffic of the 1 metropolis. There seems to be no doubt that the Minnesota & Dakota will build from Fargo northwest' to Sherhrooke and New Bock ford. The stirvcvors were twenty-miles west of the latter place when they '. went into winter quarters. This will .. re- duce the railroad distance from New Rockford to Fargo from 163 to 137 milcs,and give access to some of the best wheat country. President Hill has this I week started out a surveying party, as reported, to extend the branch running thirty miles north of Fargo on the east side of the Red. This is, it is under- . stood, to run west into the great wheat fields of Traill, and beyond. And then there is a fair prospect that tho Black Hills road will be started on its way. There are other schemes floating about that may materialize if the signs are r ght. '.'\u25a0;-..'•' Track Layers at Work. Special to the Globe. Din th, Nov. 25.— track layers on the ' Lake Superior Terminal A Transfer company's yard tracks at West Superior in the north part of tho village, have reached Tower bay slip. Chips From the Ties. The general managers have finally discon- tinued tlie soft coal war, and established the rates just where they were before the roads began to cut. After Dec. 5, they will be $'2) per ton from Chicago and Milwaukee, and points taking Chicago rates. The Milwaukee A: St. Paul has published a tariff on emigrants' movables in car lout \u25a0 lots, applying between St. Paul and stations in lowa, Minnesota and Dakota, taking ef- fect Xov. 21. 3, A. McGregor, of the Minnesota & North- western road, is back from Montana, and goes to Boston as the New England agent of the road, with headquarters at Boston. Henry Libon, ticket agent at the uuion depot, St. Louis, was at the Northern Pacific headquarters on his return from his trip to the Pacific coast. The earnings of the St. Paul A Duluth road for the tnird week in November were $4.'J,- --604, and from January to Nov. 2-", £1,500,- --328. The Chicago, Burlington A Quincy had a surplus of $150,000 left after paying the last quarterly 2 per cent dividend. Messrs. Haggard and Whilmore, of the Minnesota A Northwestern road, have re- turned from Chicago. General Manager Dv Puy, of the Minnesota. A Northwestern, has gone" down the road. Mr. (lakes and Mr. Fee, of the Northern Pacific road, have gone to Chicago. ***** -77 MICHIGAN REPUBLICANS. They Meet and Talk Over Matters ofParty Interest. Detroit, Nov. 25.— A largely attend- ed conference of prominent and repre- sentative Republicans of the city and state was held here for the purpose of obtaining some expression of the senti- ment of the party in this state for the guidance of the delegates already chosen to represent the club and its branches at the national convention of Repub- . lican clubs at (.'bickering hall, in New York, Dec. 15, 10 and 17. Among those present were both United States Senators Palmer and Stockbridge and Congressman Allen, ex-Lov. Alger and other recog- nized leaders from most of the con- gressional districts in the state. No resolutions of instructions were at- tempted, but there was free discussion and very general agreement of senti- ' ment as to the leading political issues of the day. There was a strong and practically unanimous expression in favor of an aggressive stand in favor of legislation regulating and restricting the liquor traf- fic and against "the saloon in politics," also in favor of congressional action to prevent immigrants coming to this country who cannot bring with them certificates of good character and who will not promise to obey the American constitution and laws and loyalty to our form of government. The confer- ence was equally. unanimous in favor of j the principel of * protective . tariff; and liberal appropriations for pensions, in- ternal improvements and the revival of the merchant marine. ...*,-. v .

four's letter to Mr. Armitage concern-ingthe treatment of Mr. O'Brien inTullamore jail exactly discloses theposition of the government with refer-ence to the refractory editor, the pre-cise definition of which is summarizedin the chief secretary's final paragraphhere reproduced: "I understand thatin refusing to wear prison garb Mr.O'Brien conceives himself to be light-ing for a principle. Concerning thepoint he raises and upon which his con-tention is based there need be no differ-ence between us.

--escribed by the prison in which be isincarcerated force will not be appliedto compel him to conform to ihe rules in this respect.'- Mr. Balfour's !etter as a whole is an exceedingly- I

sarcastic attempt to belittle the prevail-ing Irish methods of agitation, and con-firms the determination of the govern-ment to treat all Irish prisoners as com-mon felons, the only exceptions beingthose who may plead "weak hearts anddelicate lungs" and be sustained intheir claims to leniency by the prisonphysicians.

THE SEARCHof the premises occupied by Callan andHarkins is still in progress." and the dis-coveries made stamp the prisoners asmore important in the estimation of thepolice than any men arrested on similarcharges in years. In addition to thenumerous parcels of dynamite found inand about Callan's lodgings a day ortwo ago. a package containing severalpounds of the explosive was found inone of his trunks to-day. and the policeare confident that he lias been success-ful in in hiding still more of the deadlycompound, which they expect to un-earth shortly. At Harkins" residencenothing has "as yet been found, but thesearch is continued with the same ear-nestness and confidence that character-izes the explorations of Callan's lodg-ing- and their environments.

A Queer Political Issue.London. Nov. 25.— The absurd crisis

in the Swedish diet is attracting the at-tention of all Europe. The existenceof the cabinet, the free trade policy ofthe government and the whole courseof liberal legislation are put in peril be-cause a fewyears ago a man in Stock-holm neglected to pay hi- taxes. Thisman at the last election was electedwith twenty-one others as a member ofthe lower house. By a peculiar law, ifoue mem on{the list of twenty-twocandidates is ineligible for election, thewhole twenty -two, who are voted for to-gether as a group, are declared disqual-ified. This one man's fault disqualifiesall his companions who wen- elected bya large majority. Opposed to the freeraders are twenty-two protectionists,-o the free trade city of Stockholm will•crepresented by twenty-two protec-

tionists. But it is said one of the pro-ectionists is disqualified, so thai will

v. brow out his twenty-one colleagues.The next in order are the socialists. lio

Presi-dent Grevy stubbornly resists the de-mands for his immediate resignation.The press unanimously condemn theprolongation of the crisis. The I'aixsays that President Grevy willnot re-sign before he has placed the republicin a safe position. It declares that theOrleans princes are very active, and•warns republicans to reflect on thecourse they are taking. A meeting will.a- held in the Belleville quarter to-nighto adopt measures, as the call says, to•onform to the situation.

John 3lorley*s Statements.London, Nov. 25.—Mr. John Morley-

in a speech at Hull this evening, sarcastieally said it was very interesting tosee Tories advocating protection, andasked his hearers if they believed .John'bight would support a crown duty on•bin. Lord Salisbury's refusal to givei measure of local self-government toreland, he said, was a breach of thehedges given by all of his ministers,md the Irish leaders would oppose tohe utmost any land-purchase scheme as. substitute for home rule.

PETE BARRETT TALKS,

But Says He Did Not Kill YoungTollefson.

Special to the Globe.Omaha, Neb.. Nov. 25.— Assistant

Superintendent Hoy and InspectorsHoward and Kinney left for Minneapo- ilis to-night with Pete Barrett They!at first anticipated being stopped inCouncil Bluffs, but the friends of the |accused murderer, his mother and At- ;torney Sears, the counsel, instead oftrying to hold him in the country, leftfor Minneapolis on the same " trainwith the prisoner. To a Globe cor-respondent the detectives again ex- iplained the fact to-day that they hail a !clear case on Barrett, "No,*' -.aid De- '.tective Howard. "I have not got the :

cash box which belonged to the eardriver, but we found it all rightwhere we were told Pete Barretthid it. and when it comes to a \u25a0-how jdown the box will be produced in Icourt.** Hoy said: "We don't want to jsay anything about the case- because itwould give the defendant's lawyer a ;

chance to formulate a defense. Threedetectives have worked steadily on the \case since last July, and we owe oursuccess to a woman and some family \trouble. "The GI.ORE correspondent had ia talk with Barrett to-day through thecourtesy of the Omaha police. Barrettsaid: "i did not kill Tollefson, ami was !not mixed up in ii. although 1 do notsay 1 don't know anything about it. 1 idon't want to say anything about the jmatter until I see my mother, What-ever she says 1 will do. I's boys had a !hard name, and while we may betough, we are honest and would not kill 'any person. 1 intend to make mymother defend in*', and as she ha-- lotsof money, she will have to fight it to theend. I want a trial here in Omaha, but |if they say 1 have got to go back to Mm- >

neapolis, then 1 will go."

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.Mr. Powderiy Delivers a Lecture

in Aid ofthe Striking "Miners.Philadelphia, Nov. •*.*>.—"The Past,

Present and Future of the Knights of iLabor,"' formed the subject cf what jwas termed a lecture by General Master |Workman L. V. Powderiy this evening

in Industrial hall in aid of the miners ion a strike in the anthracite coal region.The body of the hall was comfortably-tilled with knights and their friends,among whom were many women. Mr.Powderiy spoke without" notes, and byno means confined himself to his sub- iject. After denouncing monopoly as jsomething that, if allowed ' to jhave its way, would make this 'laud a living hell, ami themost accursed under heaven, the :speaker glanced at the early history ofthe knights, whose organization he" de- jclared was "the strongest in point of!numbers, intelligence and manhood ofany that ever blessed any country."After saying considerable about immi- ]gration and the necessity for restricting jit to those able to understand the priv- I(leges of the country, Mr. Powderiy \turned to the troubles in this jstate ami said. "A breaker is !burned and the telegraph conveys the Inews that the miners have burned it. 1say that is a barefaced lie. The miners ;

know better than to burn down abreaker which gives them their work.No miner ever burned a breaker in theentile length and breadth of Pennsyl-sylvania.*" Mr. Powderiy then said thatthe government should take the coalfields for its own use. so that in case ofwar it should not be compelled to relyon corporations for the coal for its ves-sels to carry on warfare against theenemy. He advocated the governmentcontrolling and owning the telegraph,and then branched off on the politicalparty of the Knights of Labor, closingwith the remark that the Knights ofLabor were not going to pieces.— am :

Holong:, the Scandinavian Mur-derer, Must Suffer Death.

Special to the Globe.Fergus Falls, Minn., Nov. 23.— The

I sentence which every one has expectedhas been finally passed upon Nels OlsonHolong, the murderer of I.illieField. Itwas the first business transacted aftercourt opened this afternoon. Therewen' but a few present in the courtroom at the time. Judge Baxter not an-nouncing when the sentence would bemade, as he did not desire any scene orunnecessary excitement. Holong's i

brother ami sister, however, came inand insisted on staying, in spite of theadvice of the officers. The sister sue- |

: ceeded in restraining her feelings until ;[ the sentence bad been passed and the; prisoner taken from the room. The jbrother, however, began taking on atonce, anil as soon as Wis was removedhe was taken out by the officers, as herefused to go or tocease his disturbance. iSols did •not appear -any different thanhe has during "the trial. When thejudge was about to begin he was com- 'manded to stand up, which he did. but jas usual inclined his head on his elbowon the clerk's desk ami gazed at the •

floor. When the judge asked him if hehad tilingto say why the sentence!should not be passed upon him he lookedinquisitively at Attorney Rawson, but i

said nothing. Mr. Kawson, in his be- !half, stated that he did not know that !anything else could be said or done, asthey bad exhausted every source. Thejudge then began his

ADDRESS TO THE Tills*>M-T!.

During the entire proceedings there :was no trace of emotion on his face, iEither he did not realize his awful fate jor he did not care. The judge ordered !him removed to the jailami he was at Ionce taken back, the sheriff instructing jthe jailer not to allow any one to see Ihim. The following is Judge Baxter'saddress and sentence: '•The juryhaving found you guiltyof the chargeupon which you were tried, it remainsfor the court to pronounce the judgment Ifixed by law for the high crime of which !you have been convicted. Your counsel Iclaim that the court has the discretion- jary power to sentence of death. Ishould be glad to agree with them in !this case, but am unable to do so. The !exceptional circumstances which would ijustify the court in inflicting anon you !the lowest penalty that of imprison-ment for life—do not exist 111 this case. jThere is no discretionary power vested Iin the court in eases of this kind. To ijustifythe sentence of imprisonmentfor life, the com t must first certify ofrecord its opinion that by reason of ex-ceptional circumstances, the case is notone in which thepenalty ofdeath shouldbe imposed. But the records in thiscase will be searched in vain for anyevidence whatever of such exceptionalcircumstances, or any circumstances towhich 1 can certify of record as a justi-fication for any sentence other than thatof death. Ifthe statutes had providedthat in such eases the court might in itsdiscretion send the defendant to impris-onment instead of inflicting theextremepenalty, then upon a verdict of guiltythecourt could, of course, without givingany reason for its action, properly pro-nounce either

THE SENTENCE OF DEATHor Imprisonment for life; but under ourpresent statute no such discretionarypower exists. You have had a fair trialand have been skillfully defended byable counsel. All that could be done tosave you from the fate that now awaitsyou has been dune, but an intelligentand impartial jury have found youguilty of the dime of murder in thefirst degree, and they were fully justi-fied by the evidence in doing so." Theycould not, under the circumstances.have done otherwise, and the penaltyfixed by law as punishment for thecrime of which they have found youguilty must follow. You should not de- 'ceive yourself with the vain hope thatany earthly power will interfere to staythe hand of the law or prevent the car-rying out of the sentence about to bepassed upon you. but you should lookforpardon and forgiveness only to Him \that is the source of all power. It isconsidered and adjudged and the judg-ment of this court is that you, NelsOlson Holong. as punishment for thecrime of murder in the first degree ofwhich you have been convicted he jtaken from here to the common jail of 'Otter Tail county and there confinedfor the period of ninety days, and that ,thereafter, at" a time to lie fixed bythe governor of the state of Minnesota,you be taken from thence to the place 'ofexecution and there hanged by the Ineck until you are dead."; The last hanging which occurred in 'this state was at Duluth some three j

ears ago and the first case under the !restoration of capital punishment.Sheriff Brandenburg, of this county,was present and witnessed the execu-tion. He did not think then that hewould be the next one to perform the jdisagreeable duty. The execution will •probably occur about Friday, the 24th <day of February. The law says that iit shall not he less than thirtydays after <conviction, nor more than six months. 1There is place in our jaiL, and a yard 1

THE ARBNSDOJRF TKIAL.A Witness on Hand Who Claims

Leavitt Killed Haddock.Special to the Globe.

Sioux" City, 10., Nov. 25. 1n theArensdorf trial to-day the time has beenlargely taken up in proving the badcharacter and general unreliability ofthe Josephsons who testified Tuesdaythat they saw Arensdorf shoot Haddock.A number ofwitnesses were introducedfrom Yankton, where Josephson and hiswife lived previous to coming to SiouxCity. All told the same sto.iy as to thecharacter of the state's witnesses, bothmorally ami otherwise. James Junkand James Scollard said they could notremember having seen John Robinsonin Junk's saloon just previous to themurder, although they admitted tbat bemight have been there. Robinson'stestimony on Monday went far towardsestablishing the fact that Arensdorfwent with the crews from Junk's to theplace of the killing, and spoils the forceof his alibi evidence. Mrs. Satler, whoworked at the Lone Star res-taurant at the time of thekilling, swore that the Josephsons de-livered milk there at i'»::iO p. m. that day,and not at 10 o'clock as they testify.The defense has a new witness in theperson of a Mrs. Patterson. Her evi-dence will be equally sensational as thatof the Josephsons. Mrs. Patterson is awoman of middle age and earns herliving doing washing and other workfrom place to place. Her testimony willbe to the effect that "on the evening ofthe "killing she had been doing somework at Mrs. Friable s

"* house on WestThird street. She was returning home,and when near the scene of the"killing,she saw a man whom she recognized asLeavitt walk out from a crowd and shootHaddock. He then ran away, but in sodoing he ran against her. as she stoodabout thirty feet from the little black-smith shop, and dropped his pistol.'' ltwas about at that place that the revolverwas found, with one empty chamber.Mrs. Patterson was deterred from testi-fying through fear.

there is insurance in the amount of$195,000 almost exclusively in Easterncompanies. There is a slavage of about

; $10,000, which is due entirely to thewater supply furnished by the pumps ofthe International distillery. If it hadnot been tor the fact that the distilleryis closed by the prohibitory law the firewould, no doubt, have been squelchedin its incipicncy and the heavy lossavoided.

AN ILLINOIS SHEOL.

Progress of the Sanguinary Feudin Hardin County.

Ei.izaiiethtown, 111.. Nov. 25.—TheHardin County vendetta, which threat-ened to depopulate two counties afew months ago, has broken out again.and two more desperate manhuntershave been rushed hence without havingail opportunity to remove their boots.The cemetery record shows a total ofthirteen killed. five of whom have takentheir departure this year. The story ofthe tragedy that provoked the feud iswell known throughout Southern Illi-nois. Ten years ago, Logan Belt, a des-perate character, shot and killed DocOldham id a dame in the Oldham home-stead. Both men were among the mostprominent in the country, and the ex-citement reached a high pitch. Thecommunity took sides, and when WashCovert, a witness for the prosecution,was laid low with a charge of buckshotthe trouble began. Luke Hornbrink,who was connected with the Oldhamfaction, was assassinated on his door-step. Ed Belt was soon after shot fromambush and killed. Logan Belt wassent to the penitentiary for the killingof Doc Oldham, and Bill Fraley wentup for the shooting of Covert. Duringthe trial a ku-klux organization, ofwhich Belt was captain, and which con-tained some of the best men in thecounty, was exposed. This band wascalled "Sons of Liberty,'* and its osten-sible object was to "regulate*' citizens.While Belt and Fraley were in the pen-itentiary a couple of men were killed oneach side. After they were released

for the assassination of Hornbrink. and 'was tried last spring and acquitted.Three weeks later he was shot dead 'from ambush. Two weeks after ('apt.Logan Belt's death his brother, Jim Beltwas shot and killed on the same spot,Cave-in-Bock. These assassinations pro-duced great consternation, and thefriends ofthe Belt faction, among whom ,wasKarl Sherwood and others, received 'orders to emigrate, ami they moved intoan adjoining county. Then Judge Hess, •of the circuit court, who presided atBelts trial, was threatened with death i

if lie did not leave. He armed himself 1and is -till here. Last Tuesday night a Jdance was given at a farm house hearBattery Bock. Among Ihose who at- !tended was Joe Blair, a Belt partisan, 'andSoe Hugleton, a relative of Old- 'ham's. Bill Fraley. who removed Coy- 'ert,' was also among the spectators. 'About 2 o'clock in the morning the fes- 'tivities were terminated by the report •of a pistol and Hugleton staggered back l

against the wall, while Blair"advanced 'on him with the weapon. Before the 'aggressor could fire again Hugletonsprang upon him like a tiger, and dur-ing the struggle that ensued the lights 5were extinguished, a half dozen moreshots were fired and the dancers rushed "

panic-stricken out of the house. Ten 1minutes after the firstpistol shot all 'was quiet again and a half dozen young 'Imen returned. They lighted lanterns 'and found two corpses twined together 'on the floor. Hugleton had been shot 'twice through the body, but ' had sue- (

ceeded in drawing a knife and the re- 'suit of his awful work was Been in the «

twelve wounds on Blair's body. The in- 'quest exonerated the others from blame, '

JOE MACKLX.An Unfounded Report Relative

to Attempts to Secure His Par-don. .CHICAGO, Nov. 25.— report sent

out from this city to the effect that anapplication would be made this week toGov. Oglesby for the pardon of JosephChesterfield Maekin, the notorious bal-lot box stulier, who is serving out aterm of five years in the Juliet peniten-tiary for perjury, upon investigation to-day'is most emphatically denied by thefriends of the ex-politician and whilomsecretary of the Cook county Democ-racy. "Mike" McDonald, the only in-dividual who would be prone to head anymovement to secure the liberation of hisformer private secretary, is more busilyat work trying to secure the release ofbis own brother, "Ed" McDonald, tromthe Cook county jail, and has been veryindustriously employed in this directionfor some months past. The statutes,moreover, demand that the groundsupon which the pardon of anyconvict within the state peniten-tiary is sought at the hands of the gov-ernor with the names of the petitionersfully set forth be published severalmonths before any such applicationmay be made or could be entertained bythe governor. Nothing of this kind hasbeen done, nor from surrounding cir-cumstances is there any likelihood ofsuch a petition being published withsignatures commending it to favorableaction on the part of the governor. Thestatement that "a large delegation willmake the attack on Gov. Oglesby thisweek" is declared to be not only agroundless and silly fabrication, but to-tally opposed to the only legal methodof procedure open to any of Maekin'sacquaintances who were sanguineenough to believe that the governormight be induced to shorten the termof his imprisonment. State AttorneyGrinnell's significant reference to Mike"McDonald's close alliance with the con-victed county thieves and the expressedbelief that his culpability was as great,if not greater, in open court during thetrial would rather invalidate thanstrengthen any petition to the governorbearing his signature fora commutationof Joseph Maekin's sentence. More-over,

SINCE HIS CONVICTIONCol. 11. S. Tuthill, who was thenUnited States district attorney, andthrough whose prosecution Maekin wasbrought to punishment, has been ele-vated to the Cook county judiciarybench with State's Attorney Grinnell.Neither of these judges, from their newand more exalted positions, would belikely to recommend executive leniency jin so notorious a case as that of the bal- jlot-box exploiter, and "other men prom- |inent in the councils of the Democratic |party" congratulate themselves upon jthe fact that the disclosures as to the |breaking into the vaults in County Clerk IM- W. Ryan's oflice. did not extend at jthe time any further than they did. |When the vault was opened the envel-ope containing the legitimate ballots was !taken- out, the fraudulent ones substi- ituted by Maekin and his confederates )either inside or outside of the county |clerk's oflice and the vault doors closed jagain by parties who must certainly jhave known the combination of the <

vault door. County Clerk Ryan himself Ias well as his Chief Clerks Biehl, ('lea-son and Dwyer did not altogether es- jcape suspicion. So many hearts would jache that the "prominent Democrats"" jare as surprised as they are satisfiedthat the conspirators who penetrated to !the very vaults of the county clerk'soflice and effected the political rape ofits contents got off so easily, and thatone whose silence could be bought waschosen to do vicarious punishment forthe whole. It is true that M. C. McDon-ald, the once notorious gambler and po- \litical boss of Chicago, is still .Maekin's !friend and patron, and it is equally true jthat no one whose name would be likelyto have weight with the governor and jrepresenting the better element cf the jDemocratic party, would care to asso-ciate their signature with .McDonald's!in an application to the governor forMaekin's pardon.

THE RAILWAY WORLDThe Threat of the Milwaukee

& St. Paul to Cut South-western Rates,

Is Considered to be a Bluff oa Very Foolish Char-

acter.

A Struggle at Deadwood Between Lines Anxious to

Enter the City. .

New Lines Projected in Dakota General Railway

Intelligence.

A few weeks ago. when the MinnesotaA Northwestern and the Burlington iNorthern withdrew from the trainmanagers* meeting because the Milwaukee & St. Paul would not withdraw tinmilling in transit business, the Milwaukee & St. Paul threatened, by way oretaliation, to cut the rates betw*eeiCouncil Bluffs ane Chicago. It waithought that this threat was madisimply to compel the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy to bring an Influence t(bear to compel the Burlington & Northcrn to come into the arrangement foithe rates in the Northwest establisheiby the Milwaukee ft St. Paul and tinroads acting with the latter. Thithreat has not served its purposeas the Chicago, Burlington ft Quincjhas done nothing in regard to the matter. and so far as can be judged does noipropose to do anything. The Milwaukee has now given the required noticeto cut the rates as it threatened to do.and next Tuesday is the time for themeeting to be held to consider the mat-ter. A well-known railroad man remarked yesterday: "This proceedingon the part of the Milwaukee ft St. Paulroad looks like a very foolish bluff. Ncman that understands the railroad situation can for a moment think that thelatter road can have any serious though!of putting in effect such a foolish andabsurd threat. The situation is verymuch changed from what it was a fewyears ago, when this same Milwaukee ftSt. Paul road.„-.; . used THIS CT.rn

with good effect against the Chicago.Burlington A- Quincy to bring it intoline, it cannot use it that way now.

I Ifit should attempt to do so tne Mil-waukee ft St. Paul would suffer in thesame way. though not perhaps to quitethe same extent, as would the Burling-ton ft Quincy. It must be borne inmind in considering this matter thatnow this club of the Milwaukee ftSt. Paul company has been turned intoa two-edged sword and cuts both ways,

i for the reason that now the latter roadhas opened its new line to Kansas City,and just as soon as it cuts- the rates be-tween Council Bluffs and Chicagothe cut will extend all the way down theriver, taking in Kansas City and ail.The fact is, that just as soon as thisthreatened cut is made, the bottom hasgone out of all the rates all through thatsection. Then what becomes '•.of theMilwaukee ft St. Paul, and how muchdoes she gain by her cut*? It looks tome just as though the latter road hasoverdone the threatening business, andas though that club that used to be soeffective has come to be powerless. Iam curious to see how this road willwriggle out of the hole it has got into.When the roads meet next Tuesday andthe Burlington ft Quincy refuses to doanything, what will the Milwaukee ftSt. Paul do. That's the question."

A Struggle at Deadwood.Special to the Glooe.

Deadwood, Nov. 25.— local warbetween the railroad schemes continuesto the dissatisfaction of the public.The enterprise called the Deadwood ftBlack Hills road was finally refused theright of way through the city at theregular monthly session of the council.The significance of this action can bebest understood by outsiders when it isexplained that so' narrow is a part ofthe city between the flanking cliffs thatthere is not room for the passage ofmore than one railroad track withoutclosing the street there and bisectingthe city as to traffic. Three surveyshave been run through thiscanyon and the stakes standthere side by side, and the roadthat gets the right of way through thispass will practically control the en-trance to the city. The Elkhorn com-pany made a survey early in the season,and a delegation ol ourcitizens tenderedthe company bonuses and the right ofway through. Now a new corporationasks to take the right of way. A thirdenterprise asks to take the same rightof way foritself. A third line will askthe same in the nature of a monopoly.This struggle excites a good deal of in-terest of the people here, when it isnecessary for us all to do our best, andmay and probably will degenerate intoa war of factions. Altogether the situa-tion is one upon which our people lookwith the most anxious interest.

IXTKT4STATK.

Yesterday's Proceedings Beforethe Commission.

Washington*, Nov. 25.— F. Mitch-ell, general freight agent of the West-ern division of the Newport News ftMississippi Valley Bailroad company,was the first witness examined to-daybefore the interstate commission in con-nection with the Standard Oil cases. Inrespect to the fact of a difference inrate as between oil transported in tanksand that carried in barrels, and to thereasons justifying such difference, histestimony was substantially like that ofthe other freight men who precededhim. He declared that his company in-variably charged for transporting oil intank cars at so much per car, irrespect-ive of its capacity. Thereupon a seriesof logs were produced, showing that hehad negotiated with complainant, mak-ing a rate on a capacity of 20,000pounds per car, and a rate on the ex-cess. Witness" only explanation wasthat the amanuensis must have

Gault, general manager of theCincinnati, New Orleans ft Texas Pa-cific railroad, was sworn andliis evidence was similar to thatgiven by the general freightagent of * the same :company. Somequestions were asked withrespect totherelations between witness" road and theLouisville ft Nashville, and itwas developed, rather under protest,that there had been a disagreement inpolicy some time back, owing to the de-termination of witness' company to\u25a0jive a strict interpretation to the inter-state commerce law; while he was cog-nizant of a determination on the part ofthe management of the other road prac-tically to injure the long and the shorthaul feature of the law on the theory thatthe "circumstances and conditions werealways such as to justify the rates.

' Xew Dakota Roads.. Special to the Globe.•' ! Fa it*-;o, Nov. 25.—As the eye of the! Fargoite looks over the situation, v.i iii the added avidity of local option.it rests :

' hopefully upon the promise of several[ new railroads the coming year. These,' if they materialize, will open up several

flourishing districts to the traffic of the1 metropolis. There seems to be no doubtthat the Minnesota & Dakota will buildfrom Fargo northwest' to Sherhrookeand New Bock ford. The stirvcvors

• were twenty-miles west of the latterplace when they '. went intowinter quarters. This will .. re-duce the railroad distance fromNew Rockford to Fargo from 163 to 137milcs,and give access to some of the bestwheat country. President Hill has this Iweek started out a surveying party, asreported, to extend the branch runningthirty miles north of Fargo on the eastside of the Red. This is, it is under- .stood, to run west into the great wheat

• fields of Traill, and beyond. Andthen there is a fair prospect that thoBlack Hills road will be started on itsway. There are other schemes floatingabout that may materialize if the signsare r ght. '.'\u25a0;-..'•'
