FOR ANNEXATION.

POLICY FAVORED BY CLEVELAND

The Agllatlou Alroady Under Full Headway In the Dominlou—Acquisition •r the Sandwlrh Island*

Also Considered.

AFTER CANADA

WASHINGTON-, Jan. 27.—A question which dwarfs most other public questions is now being quietly considered by leading men of congress with a view to bringing it to public consideration at an early day as the foremost policy of Mr. Cleveland's administration. It Is 110 less than a plan to annex Canada to the United States and for the tion of the Sandwieh islands. a part of the random discussions on theBe questions which have been going on for many months, but it is a wellconsidered plan to bring these acquisitions to the point of actual realization.

The annexation movement is under full headway iu Canada, but as yet little attention has been given to it among public men here. There arc many, however, on the committee on foreign relations of the house and on foreign affairs of the senate in the present congress who regard the annexation question as of paramount importance. One of tho leading men of these committees said to a correspondent that it could be stated on the highest authority that the Cleveland administration would make the acquisition of Canada and the Sandwich islands the conspicuous publia question ot the new administration.

Keeping Up the Agitation. Within the last few days Edward' Farrer, of Toronto, Ont., has been canvassing the sentiment of the two foreign committees. Mr. Farrer is re cognized. as one of the foremost radicals of Canada in the annexation movement He was for many years editor of the Toronto Globe, and was threat- I cned with prosecution for treason.

With Gold win Smith he no.w leads the agitation which is convulsing Canada from one end to the other. lie is now hero to ascertain what practical end can be accomplished.

Confcreu to Take Aotlou. 1 While public men hi Washington have not been openly joining in the agitation of Canada they hare watched it with keen interestand are now ready to supplement it by such steps from this side as will bring Canada under the American ling. Members of the coimnitl.ee give it as their opinion that within the next few weeks, and perhaps days, speeches will be heard on the floor of the senate and house urging annexation. This will be but tUe initial step, as the more important detail of developing the exact policy"of obliterating the Canadian boundary on the northward and of acquiring the fertile islands of the Pacific will be left to the incoming administration. Mr. Cleveland ii said to look upon the annexation of Canada aa an achievement exceeding in importance tbe purchase of

Louisiana from France or the acquisition of Texas from Mexico, both of which events marked epochs ia our history.

President Hoihar of the Lincoln Bank Confesses to Wrong and Asks That Ho May Receive Ail the Punishment.

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 27.—The rumor

______ was afloat that C. W. Mosher, p^ssi-

indicted by the United States I grand jury and sentenced to five

years in the penitentiary. It proved untrue, however, having its foundation in the fact that Mosher had been seen around ths federal court-room. It is generally understood that he was before the grand jury about an hour and urgently insisted that he was responsible for everyming that was wrong in the conduct of the bank's affairs, and that he was ready and willing to bear all blame, therefor, lie insisted that the bank had not been making any money and that several dividends had beeu paid stockholders

aequisi- when there had been no profIt is not its to justify them. It was also rumored that Mosher had lost his mental balance over the trouble and was consequently bent on shouldering all the blame and receiving the punishment. The latter part is undoubtedly tme, but there is believed to be nothing in the insane report.

The Presldmit-Klect Sow Wears a Badge «f the Sigma Chi Fraternity. NEW YOUR. Jail. 27.—President-elect Cleveland was Initiated into the Sigma Chi college fraternity Thursday morning. A badge of the fraternity was presented to him. It was accepted and worn by the president-elect with an interest worthy the enthusiasm of an undergraduate. Honorary membership is not generally recognized in this fraternity. Mr. Cleveland will stand alone in this relation under the present constitution of the order. There never was any opposition to him on personal or political grounds. To accomplish his admission certain modifications in the fundamental law of the fraternity were, however, necessary.

MITCHELL WINS.

MADISON, Wis., Jan. 27.—Hon. John L. Mitchell, of Milwaukee, was nominated for United States senator Thursday afternoon on the thirty-first ballot. For the last twenty-four hours there was a growing suspicion that Knight's strength must soon grow less. His friends have daily balloted for him with no prospect of nomination, but with a loyalty that was remarkable. Wednesday they decided that it v^as, useless to stand out against such odds and they capitulated.

Tby llreak ComPS at I.ait.

At 2:45 Thursday afternoon the gavel was dropped. Secretary Lees moved that strangers be requested to leave the room, and a few exceptions were made. The roll-call showed but one absentee, Mahoney. Senator Kuska moved to proceed to the thirty-first ballot. The first to go to Mitchell was Bashford, followed by Brader and Brill, from Knight. Brown went

to Bragg and explained his reasons therefor in a speech of a few minutes' length. He said he had been released by Col. Knight, and voted for Gen. Bragg because .ninetenths of the people wished Bragg's nomination. The roll-call proceeded, and the next to go to Mitchell was Senator Connor, followed by Conway, from Bragg. Daly left Knight for Mitchell and so did Fetzer. Hermon was the next to leave Knight for Mitchell. Jamison left Knight for Bragg.

When Senator Kennedy's name was called ho arose a.nd said he had been released by Col. Knight. He had always been a democrat and never bolted a convention. Senator Brown was inconsistent. If he believed as he said, he should have voted for Bragg first. Senator Kennedy said he voted for Mitchell. Senator Kingston voted for Mitchell. M. G. McGeegan announced that ho had been released by Col. Knight and voted for Mitchell. Martin changed from Knight to Mitchell- Nash went from Knight to Bragg. Quigg went from Bragg to Mitchell, Ringlee to Bragg, Schmidt from Knight to Mitchell, Schuefel to Bragg from Knight.

Made a Majorlry for Mitchell. Tracy's vote made forty-one for Mitchell and there was wild applause. Senator Voss spoke a few words in prefacing his change from Knight to Bragg. Wescott still voted for Knight. Wood worth Bpolte a few moments, explaining his vote for Col. Mitchell. The ballot resulted: Mitchell, 46 Bragg, 82 Knight, 1 total, 79. Sampson moved to make it unanimous, and as the motion was carried the legislators left for the Park hotel to greet the notninoe without formal adjournment. The formal election will occur at noon to-day. The city is wild with excitement.

The Nominee.

Mitchell is a son of the late Alexander Mitchell, the father of the great Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway system, ia 50 years old. fond of agricultural pursuits, a lover of horses and a patron of agricultural education, lie was born in Milwaukee, where he is a banker and capitalist. He is married, but has no children. He is now a member of eongress, is a warm friend of Senator Vilas and a man of independence of character.

In joint session at noon the democratic members of the legislature repeated the farce they went through Wednesday of throwing away their votes for United States senator by giving them to local politicians all over tho state. The result of the vote taken was: John C. Spooner, 48 W. H. Seaman, 4 N. 8. Gilson, 3 John Noonan, 8 P. F. Sherman, 2 W. C. Silverthorn, 2 Joseph Morrow, 2 Scattering, 61.

Kcpul.Ucaiis Giro Up.

TOPF.KA, Kan., Jan. 27.—The republicans have given up hope of electing a United States senator. They made a last effort Thursday to devise a means of checkmating the populists and of sending to the United State* senate a claimant to the seat to which John Martin was elected. They sat in caucus and decided to support a stalwart democrat for the position if the five democrats would BO over to them and give them a quorum on joint ballot. Three of the five democrats had cast their ballots for Martin in the populist joint convention Wednesday and of oourse could not participate in another senatorial election, so when the republicans met in joint session they found themselves without a quorum and with no means of securing one. They then gave up hope of electing a senator and after appointing a committee to prepare a statement of the facta concerning the election of Judge Martin and a protest against his admission to the senate they adjourned their joint convention sine die.

Ferklna Will Fight.

The burden of the task of keeping

Judge Martin out of the senate now rests on Senator Perkins. He was appointed to serve in the place of the late Senator Plumb until the legislature •hould choose his successor. The republicans hope to show that the populist house organization was illegal that being illegal it could not participate in the election of a senator that in reality no senator has been elected, and Senator Perkins should be allowed to hold over until the expiration of Senator Plumb's term. The republicans received a telegram from Senator Perkins announcing that he would make the fight to retain his seat. Mr. Martin will leave for Washington Sunday armed with a properly certified certificate of his election. He may present it to the present senate and he may wait until the next session of congress, when, he thinks, the senate may be democratic, and when his chances of recognition would be better than at present.

IN CONGRESS.

Senator Mill. Speaks Against Antl-Op-tlon— Proceedings in the House. WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—In the senate Thursday Senator Cullom (111.) introduced a joint resolution requesting the municipal authorities of Philadelphia to lend to the United States the liberty bell for exhibition at the world's fair, and asked to have it put upon its passage. Objection was made by Senator Iloar (Mass.) on the ground that it was a novel and extraordinary thing to place the United States government in the position of a petitioner to a municipal body. The joint resolution was referred to the committee on library.

Senator Gorman (Md.) introduced a joint resolution authorizing the secretaries of war and navy to lend ensigns and flags, etc. (except battle flags), for decoration of the world's fair buildingsIt was passed.

The auti-option bill was taken up and Senator Mills (Tex.) made a speech against the bill as being against the existence of the state governments. He thought the republican statesmen were mistaken in regard to the state rights sentiment of the people of the United States. The people of the United States loved their local self-government They clung to it with an instinct which told that their liberties depended upon its preservation. He would not hesitate to stand before any audience in the union and vindicate the right of every state in the union to a government of its own people in its own way, and he would do it with the approval of his audiences.

The legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill for the fiscal year 1894 was reported to the house by Mr. Dockery (Mo.). It makes .an aggregate appropriation of 821,077,908, being 8222,134 less than the amount oarried by the bill for the current fiscal year, and 8947. SI7 less than the estimates.

The house resumed in committee of the whole the consideration of the sundry civil appropriation bill. The first item of the bill to which objection was made was the one authorizing tlie commissioner of the general land office to detail clerks in the office for protecting the timber on the public lauds. The amount involved is $40,000. It was increased to $120,000 by a vote of 10b to 59.

Mr. Davis (Ivan.) moved to increase the appropriation for the enlargement of military posts from 8200,000 to 8500.000. Mr. Dockery strongly opposed this, and pending a vote the house adjourned.

FOUND GUILTY

Wils Honurd, a Noted Desperado, to Hecelve His .Tust Deserts. LEBANON, Mo., Jan. 27. —The jury in the Wils Howard murder trial Wednesday afternoon returned a verdict of guilty. The character and reputation of Wils Howard as a noted Kentucky desperado gives the trial wide Interest. His Kentucky history is blood curdling, as he is credited with having killed a dozen men in the Howard-Turner feud in Harlan county. The crime for whioh he was tried here Is the brutal murder of Thomas McMichaels, a deaf mute, in Maries county, this state, iu April, 1889. Robbery was the motive. The first trial of the case last August resulted In a hung jury, ten for acquittal and two for conviction. He will be sentenced soon.

CoinHse Temporarily StoppedWASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—There will be no more souvenir coins made this month. There are about 300,000 of them on hand and this, the director of the mint thinks, will be sufficient to meet the demands of the exposition. The coinage this month amounts to about 700,000 coins. The suspension is due to the necessity for coining a lot of silver dollars.

I.ost with Tlairty-Three Men. NEW YORK, Jan. 27.—All hope for the safety of the steamship Donati. which left this port December 10 for Lisbon, has been abandoned. The Donati carried a full cargo of 60,000 bushels of wheat, a small portion of which was in sacks. E. J. Williams was the master of the vessel, and she carried a crew of thirty-three men.

Aged Woman Nurned to Death. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 27.—Mrs. Sarah JolinBon, aged 51 years, residing at 2519 Prairie avenue, was burned to death in her home Wednesday evening.

I.ecturer Attacked by a Mnh. LAFAYETTE, Ind., Jan. 27.—Prof. George P. Rudolph, formerly a Catholio priest at Clevelaud, O., attempted to lecture at the opera house Thursday evening under the auspices of the American Protective association. The speaker's subject was "Why I Left the Romish Church." Soon after opening his discourse a mob broke in a rear door of the house and rushed on the stage and attacked the speaker. Rudolph was knocked down with a club and on rising drew a revolver and fired two shots. This brought a regular fusillade from all parts of the house, which was crowded. A stampede at once ensued, and while screams rent the air a rush was made for the doors. Many of the women were bruised and thrown down in their efforts to escape. Tho crowd was finally ejected from the stage and Rudolph continued his lecture. The sheriff appointed a number of deputies, but they were unable to keep the crowd in the gallery quite, and the meeting WSJS adjourned. Between fifteen and twenty shots were fired, but no one was hit. A mob waited outside, but, under a strong guard, Rudolph was placed in a close carriage and escorted to his boarding house.

BEATTYS FATE.

IT PROVES A SHOCK TO THE ACCUSED.

Mil I'l^iblo Cnudillon on t'onfrnuted (Ii a New Wltuens in IIU Trial at l'ltlKburj£li on Charge* of IViiHOIlillff.

Pa., Jan. 27.—The comthe case of Robert F. charged with administo the non-union work­

men at Homestead, sprung a sensation Thursday by producing a witness, Charles McKinnie, whose evidence was damaging in the extreme. When District Attorney Burleigh called the name of "Charles McKinnie," the defendant, Robert F. Beattv, turned quickly in liis chair. His face was flushed and his hands trembled. As McKinnie gave his testimony in a clear voice, and practically scaled the fate of Heatty, the latter did not for a moment remove, his eyes from the witness. Perspiration trickled down his flushed face and he sat like one transfixed.

Damaging Testimony.

It was plain that Realty had not counted on the prosecution getting 1 hold of McKinnie. The latter told how

Beatty had approached him with a proposition to go to Homestead and doae the men with croton oil, and how witness declined to have anything to do with the scheme. An effort was made by Mr. Brennan to confuse MeKinnie, but without success. The testimony seemed to make an impression upon all in the courtroom and the tipstaves experienced no little difficulty in maintaining order.

Prior to the calling of McKinnie the time had been consumed by Mr. Bronnan, attorney for the defense, in his cross-examination of Patrick Gallagher, the cook who confessed to having placed poison iu the food. Gallngher was asked whether he had any knowledge of the poison before he began administering the powders. He replied that he had not, but that Guilfoyle had told him that he had. He had talked to Beatty as to the effect of the powders and Beatty said to him: "1 gave it to a dog in a bowl of milk and he keeled over." "I said to him," continued Gallagher, "What do you mean by 'keeled over?' lie replied: 'Why, it killed him.'"

BISHOP BROOKS' FUNERAL.

BOSTON, Jan. 27.—The remains of Bishop Phillips Brooks were consigned to their last resting placcin Mount Auburn cemetery, accompanied by evidences of publlo grief such as have not been manifested in this community before for a generation.

AtS a. m. Thursday the body of the departed bishop was borne to Trinity church and for three hours a constant stream of people entered the churoh and viewed for the last time the features of the great divlue

At 12 o'clock the church services began, opening with a voluntary "Jesus, Lover of My Soul." The enormous congregation rose as the vestry doors opened and the procession, headed by five bishops, entered. These were fol lowed by the diocese committee and the casket borne upon the shoulders of eight Harvard students. Then came the honorary pall-bearers. The body was placed in front of the chancel. Bishop Potter read the Episcopal burial service. There was no eulogy. At the close of tbe service a procession of over 500 carriages took up the solemn march to Mount Auburn, where the remains were laid iu the Brooks family lot. In Cambridge the procession passed between two lines of 1,000 Harvard stinlents with hats uplifted.
