Outcome of Electioneering -Tactic.
"
Eatonvillk, N. J., Feb. 18." A 7-year-boy
named Walcott,' a eon, of a well-to-do
family, living on the outskirts of town ,
was kidnapped yesterday by tramps.
While skating on a pond some distance
from home, accompanied by his sister.
There were half a dozen others on the
pond, and at the time the boy was stolen
he was alone at one end near a piece of
woods. The place is desolate, and the
underbrush offers an excellent opportun
ity for hiding. The tramps rushed upon
the ice and were seen to take the boy into
the woods. The little fellow's sister ran
after him, but could not get trace of his
abductors. She gave the alarm to the
other skaters, and many of them pushed
into the woods on the trail of the tramps.
When young Walcott's father heard of
the loss of his boy, he seized a double
barreled shotgun, and at thepo'nt where
the little fellow, was last seen went into
the woods. " He told his neighbors that
he should not come back till he had re
covered the stolen child. The news
spread with great rapidity and- the
farmers . turned out in large numbers
and joined in the search. .....
This Possibly May Explain. -
? Washington, Feb. IS. It' is reported
that Senator Dolph 's brother having
withdrawn from the candidacy for the
new circuit judgeship for the ninth dis
trict created by congress at its last ses
sion, Senator Dolph will himself be a
candidate for the United States supreme
bench, to succeed Justice Bradley, de
ceased. It is customary to fill a va
cancy in the eupreme bench from the
circuit in which the deceased justiee
resided, though this i not absolutely
essential. Senator Dolph might be
appointed from the ninth district to this
vacancy, although the circuit 'has a jus
tice in Mr. Field.
An Old Pathfinder Dead.
Sax Jose, Feb. 18. John' Marion
Murphy, one of the oldest pioneers of
California, died last evening after a long
illness. He was a native of Canada,
aged 69. Mr. Murphy was one of the
earliest scouts who came across the
plains to California. He served as a
guide for Fremont on one of his expedi
tions, and his knowledge of the overland
trails was unsurpassed. He was the
first man to bring a four-wheeled -wagon
across the Sierras. He married Virginia
Beed, the eldest daughter of James
Frazer Reed, who was one -of the find
ers of the ill-fated Donner party.
Silver Coinage Controversy.
. Washington, Feb, 18. The anti-free-coinage
men have again come forward
with a demand for a caucus to relegate
the silver question to the rear until after
the presidential election. The promot
ers of the call express full confidence in
securing the requisite number of signa
tures to force a caucus. The London
Times, commenting on the action of the
majority of the coinage committee at
Washington, says it regards the present
success of the Bland bill as the outcome
of electioneering tactics.

Washington, Feb. 18. The element
of parental opposition to the Manning
Fuller marriage and the . consequent!
clandestine feature of the - story of the
wedding of the chief justice's daughter
were missing from the tale as told to a
United Press reporter by the chief justice
and his wife this evening. He said that
Mary and Mr. Manning had been ,lovers
for two or three years with the full
knowledge and consent of her father and
mother. ' The marriage had been post
poned in consequence of illness of the
girl. The Chief Justice added : So far
from their being any opposition on our
part to the marriage, I should have been
glad if she had married Manning two
years ago. ' We said nothing about the
yedding for the reason that in her highly
nervous condition "we 'wan ted" '"nothing
from the newspapersto fi'ter back into
the sick room and excite her, but now
that her - recovery seems assured, we
have had cards engraved announcing
the marriage." '
A Bank President Disappear.
Carroll, la., Feb. 18. This city has
experienced a genuine sensation by the
sudden disappearance of O. A. Kentner
president of the Citizens state bank.
Yesterday he disposed of his interest in
the bank, and this morning 'left with
his wife for parts unknown. His finan
ces are in a badly milked condition. He
owes the First National hank (5000 ; K.
W. Libby, a stockraisgr, $3000 ; John
McCarty and Frank Bailey of Audubin,
$10,000 for 'cattle sold and money ad
vanced. He also sold a large herd of
cattle, on- -which were eeveral mortgages.
Just how bad the Citizens' bank is in
volved cannot be learned. Kentner has
been a leading citizen of this place for
fifteen years. Officers will be sent after
him, and he will be prosecuted for dis
posing of the mortgaged property, if
caught.
From Portland to the Sea.
Washington, Feb. 18. Senator
Mitchell today introduced a memorial
from several towns in Oregon, asking
for the passage of a bill appropriating
money for the improvement of the Wil
lamette and lower Columbia rivers.
Some doubt has been expressed as to
rwhether the house committee on rivers
and harbors will appropriate the $250,'
000 asked for the deep water- channel
from Portland to the sea. There has
been some rather persistent opposition
manifested to this proposed improve
ment from various sections of Oregon,
and members of the committee have re
ceived information indicating that it
would not benefit very many people.
A Million Dollar Fire.
New Orleans, Feb. 18. The loss by

insurance $750,000. . The general

Cleveland, 0.,Feb. 18. At midnight
the five-story brick block corner of Sup

M. McGillin, a dry goods company,
caught fire and was soon gutted. The
loss is $250,000 and the insurance $200,
000. The blocks adjacent on. both sides
are slightly damaged. A panic occurred
among the quests at the Forest City
house,-but the fears were soon allayed.
Report on Military Affairs.
Washington, Feb. 18. The senate
committee on military affairs has
ordered an adverse report upon the bill
providing for the location of military
post in Alaska, and also for a survey of
the Yukon river valley, also a favorable
report upon the bill to increase the pay
of "non-commissioned officers and provide
for an examination of non-commissioned
officers for promotion to second lieuten

Lost In an Abandoned Mine.
-An old gold mine near Georgetown,
CaL, long since deserted by its owners,
is still visited by miners who take out
an occasional grub stake.
Henry Fraser, an old Georgetown
miner, went into the mine ten days ago
to work a claim about a mile under
ground. He lost his candle and matches
and was unable to find bis way among
the hundreds of passages.
For ten days he was without food,
water or light, and suffered untold
agonies. His friends grew anxious at
his long absence and started out in
search of him. They immediately . re
paired to the mine and found him more
dead than alive, about a mile from the
mouth of the tunnel.
The mine is under an ofd river chan-T
nel, and varies from 25 to 100 feet in
width. This has been all worked out,
leaving an irregular chamber from 10 to
14 feet in height, filled with rocks and
gravel. To reach this channel Fraser
had to pass through a tunnel 700 feet in
length. It was. only after tiresome
search that his friends found him. Cor.

" Gossip. "
Washington', Feb. 18. In his remarks
upon the bill providing for an amend
ment to the constitution permitting the
election of United Stiftes senators bv a
popular vote, Senator Palmer said : "If
this amendment is adopted, the senate
of the United States will be chosen by .
the direct vote of the free people of . the
several states, and it .will be what it
never has yet been the popular branch
of the congress of the United States,"
and his arraignment of the tipper house .
of congress as a non-popular body, was,
in his language, not often heard by the
yenerable members of that dignified
assembly. The senator insisted the
constitutional mode of electing senators
by the legislators of the states was no
longer satisfactory to the American peo
ple. He did not mean to make himself
responsible for the charges of bribery"'
and undue influence that attend nearly
every senatorial election by indorsing or
repeating any of them. He referred to
them in that slight manner only to em
phasize the statement that the people no
longer confided in, but were profoundly
distrustful of the methods of electing
senators by the state legislatures. None
of the reason? which led the framers of
the constitution to deprive the people of
the direct control of the executive de
partment and senate now existed. Ex
perience had long ago demonstrated the
usefulness of electors for the selection of
a president and a vice-president. All
that people could gain by the proposed'
amendment would be enlarged powers
of self-defense. The senators would be
the free and exact representatives of the
people, and defend their homes and
property from unequal and excessive
burdens. They would dignify the states,,
for the people were the states. The
electiona for the choice of presidential
electors, the election of members of the
legislature who elect senators, the elec
tion of members of the house of repre
sentatives in congress, are alike influ
enced and often controlled by an unfair
arrangement of districts.
ACTION BY THE COMMITTEE.
Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, said he
listened with pleasure to the able re
marks of the senator from Illinois. He
(Mitchell) had had the honor of intro
ducing a. similar proposition in 1888 and
one" at the present session. Similar
amendments were also introduced by
the senators from Indiana and New
Hampshire (Turpie and Chandler). All
these propositions were referred to the
committee on privileges and elections,
and by that committee to a subcommit
tee composed of Senotors Chandler,
Turpie and himself, and he was quali
fied to be able to state, after a consulta
tion with the majority, that the subcom
mittee had agreed to report in favor of
such an amendment to the constitution.
It was their hope and belief tnat at a
very early day the full, committee on
privileges and elections would be able to
report favorably an amendment similar
to the one introduced by the senator
from Illinois. The subcommittee held a
session later in the day, and agreed to
the report prepared by Mr. Mitchell,
favoring the amendment. It will be
submitted to the full committee early
next week. The report is elaborate,
covering ten pages in printed matter.
It ia not known definitely whether the
majority of the full committee will be
favorable to the report or otherwise.
Senator Teller, chairman of the com
mittee, is known to be strongly in favor
of the amendment.
Ceara Revolt.
London, Feb. 18. A dispatch from
Bio Janerio states that the advices are
received there from Fort Aleza, capital
of the state of Ceara, that distm-bances
have broken out in the state," and the
people of the capital had driven the
governor from the city. No reason for
the outrage is assigned.
