The Chicago Detectives Return and Report the Result of the Trip to the Far Northwest. CniCAGO, March 17. The international chaso for Tascott has ended in failure. A. J. Stone, son-in-law of the fugitive's supposed victim, millionaire Snell, returned empty-handed to Chicago, last night, after a fruitless journey of several thousand miles. Mr. Stono was accompanied by detectives McDonald and Williams. Following a clew which took them to the Canadian Northwest, the pursuit led to the Pacific coast. There a capture was made, but the prisoner, like so many before, proved to be the wrong man. Mr. Stone estimates the length of his trip as 8,000 miles. He talks quite freely, but remarked with significance: "It must be understood that I choose to reserve names for various reasons, some bearing on the future. About a month ago," said Mr. Stone, "I received from a law firm in Minneapolis a letter stating that thev had a client, a resident of Minnesota, who had some authoritative information as to what he believed to be Tascott's whereabouts. My inquiries following showed that the suspect's description tallied rooro closely with that of Tascott than any I had yet seen. Tho yonng man was said to be employed in a tieing camp near Kat Portage, a town on the Canadian Pacific, 250 miles east of Winnipeg. I left Chicago with four others, including Alderman JJadenoch, and three weeks ago tonight we went to Minneapolis, thence to Winnioecr. and thence to the tieincr ramn. We arrived there to discover that a young man Buca as aescnoea naa workea tnere until a week before. Ho had, sometime prior, received a postal card from a friend, a younc man in Itat Portacre. stntini? tlm was a draft there from his lather, who lived in a certain town ' in southern California. Tho contractor had held back the card for two or three weeks, until the young man had worked out a debt. Uton receiving the card, th young man left at once. V c then bore down upon Kat Portago, only to learn that the young fellow had gone to another tieing camp, where we again arrived to learn that thev had moved on to Winnipeg, saying that the first yonng fellow's father in southern California was dying, and thev would hasten to hia bed side. Wo obtained some of the enspect's writing in me ursi tieing camp, anu it was lascotrs own hand in fac-simile. We hurried to Winnipeg, and there, nt thn bank, added tho suspect's signature to our stock of evidence. It seemed certain that Tascott had written that name, and no doubt remained in our minds that we were on tho right track at last. Cut of W mnepeg we ran the scent to a cer tain nameless town in the Northwest Ter ritory. near the American line. Thence we pursued it out to Vancouver, and thenen hv boat to Seattle. Tho next jump brought us iu 1 acoma, ana mere tue twain naa separated. Our man," continued Mr. Stone. "went to Portland by rail, and his com panion shipped for San Francisco by sea. Jb rom Portland the trace ran to San Fran Cisco, and we reached it a week later. It seemed probable then that the town in southern California whence the draft is sued was their destination, and thither hastened my companions. Susoectincr that this feature might be a ruse, I remained to watch the out-bound China steamer of that week, and saw her put forth without Tas cott. A telegram reached me that our man was caught in the southern California A. 1 a 1 V . . town, ami was in cnsiouy. 1 hastened thither. One glance at the prisoner ncnt my heart into my boots.

Judgo Follett was one of the most prominent Democrats of Grand Rapids.

TEYING TO ATERT A CRISIS

Bonlanger Opens His Month and Dis courses in His Usual Bombastic Style. The French Ministry Uneasy Oyer the Attitude of the Radicals Toward the Patriotic League Italy's MiUtary Expenses. THE FINANCIAL TROUBLE. Paris Hankers and Capitalists Come to the llescne of the Comptoir d'Escompte. Paris, March 17. At the financial meet ing, this morning, M. Rouvier appealed to the bankers to unite on both moral and patriotic grounds. He expressed the hopo that tho 40,000,000 franc3 of fresh capital necessary to uphold the comptoir u.t.scompte would bo immediately subscribed. The meeting then adjourned. At a meeting of the directors of the Bank of France, it was decided to make an additional advance of 20,000.000 francs, on condition that a similar sum bo subscribed elsewhere, in order to avert a judicial liquidation of the Comptoir d'Escompto's affairs. The Rothschilds subscribed 3,000,000 francs and the Credit Foncier 2,000,000, and tho subscriptions of other houses bring the ag gregate up to S6,000,000 francs. Tho remain ing 4,000,000 francs are certain to be subscribed. Thd Economiste Francais states that the Comptoir d'Escompte is not bound by any of its engagements with the copper mines, and its participation in the copper syndi cate, both the old and new societies des metanx, may bo repudiated as contrary to its statutes. GEXERAIi BOULAXGEB. Tie Visits Toots and Delivers a Speech, De fining His Position. Paris, March 17. General Boulinger journeyed from Paris to Tours, Tho train on which he was a passenger stopped at Blois and St. Pierro des Corps, and at each of these places tho General received an ovation. Three thousand persons gathered in front of his hotel on his arrival at Bordeaux, and cheered him repeatedly. General JJoulanger, addressing the people cssembled in front of his hotel. said he repudiated either xne charge that he was inclined to engage in a monarchical conspiracy or to resort to the wiles of the demagogue. The coal he sought. he said, was tho republic, but a non-parliamentary republic, which would protect tho weak and lowly, and regard, above all, the interests of the people, individual liberty, and the liberty of conscience. Ho was entertained at a banquet this evening, which was attended by sev eral members of the Chamber of Deputies, including Deputy Naquet, who declared that Boulanger's intention was to restore the religious peace of the country. FRANCE'S PATRIOTIC XEAGUE. The Government Very Uneasy Over the Atti tude of the Radicals. Paris, March 16. The bitterness of the French Radicals at the attitude of the gov ernment against the Patriotio League has been intensified by the rescinding of the or der of banishment by which the Due d'Aumale was exiled from French territory. Those who bear ill will toward tho republic base their hope of monarchical restoration npon the disappointed ambition of many, and tho intense personal vanity of all Frenchmen. The danger of jesting with the national ardor for titular distinction may be illustrated by the fact that a cyn ical Deputy has three duels on his hands for having proposed in a jocular moment a measure creating every Frenchman a duko and a chevalier of the .Legion of Honor. Notwithstanding the extenuating circumstances in the Duke's favor, his prineely gift of Chantilly to the nation, and his genuine services as a soldier, it is not likely he would have been recalled, except as an earnest of the Ministry's disliko to Boulanger, who, when Minister of War, caused the erasure of the Duke's name from the roster of the staff. The very Quiescence of the extremo Rad icals has created much uneasiness in the minds of the authorities, who consider that their Iamb-like submission may cover oome resolve to desperate action. The researches of the police have resulted in the establishment of tho fact that the dangerous element possesses no material with which to sustain an open outbreak, but with the aid of modern science they are aware that a few determined men can do a great deal of mischief without running a more than or dinary risk. The police have, therefore, been at no little trouble and expenso to keep informed of the movements of tho Anarchists who are now in Geneva in large numbers, and undoubtedly in obedience to the call of their general committee. It is more probable that their object is the planningoxsome demonstration to rase piace in 1 ranee, cither a warning destruction cf property or tho removal of some obnoxious person or persons. Undoubtedly ono reason for the govern ment's wishing to impress foreign nations with a ense of its strength by its course in the Aumale matter and its restrictive meas ures with the secret societies is to give a guaranty for the security of life and property at the approaching exposition. THE IT AXIAN ARMY AND NAVY. Premier Criipl Says Military Expenditure Has Reached Its Limit, London, March 16. Realizing the situation in which tho government is placed, Sig. Crispi, the Italian Premier, has decided not to again bring forward the obnoxious portions of the budget which recently caused the Cabinet crisis in Italy. He sees no possible chance of the Deputies conced ing a further taxation to provide for a contemplated increase of expenditure for military objects. On the contrary, they cry for retrenchment, both in the army and navy. The event is of the first Importance. It probably means that the struggle between the great powers to rival each other in the magnitude of their armaments is approaching the end. Italy is the poorest of tho great states. The southern part of Italy resembles Irelaud in the absence of all material prosperity. Central Italy is little better oft. The great plain of tho Po is a rich agricultural region, and one or two of its largo towns at any rateTurin, Milanand perhaps Bologna are llourishlng centers of manufacture or of trade. Since the consolidation of Italy into the modern kingdom the government has directed its chief attention to the formation of a strong army and navy. The navy appeared to be an absolute necessity for a htate with so long a coast line to defend. The anny berved a a great training school for a nation whose first wants were disciIdine and a sense of the national unity that lad been acquired. But the work, in spite of good administration and economy, lias pern terribly costly, for the system of universal compulsory service makes a gn at deduction from the working members of any community, to say nothing of the taxation that must be paid by the remaining workers. Signor Crispi, who is the strongest Premier Italy has had for years, and the special

representative of tho alliance with Germany and Austria, now admits that military expenditure' has reached its limit in Italy. What will bo tho effect upon tho central powers and on France? The central powers may wish to settlo the issues for which they are armed beforo their southern ally is crippled by a reduced expenditure. 'The French government may think a favorable opportunity has come to separate Italy from the Austro-German combination. The French are disposed to feel confident in the advantage they derive at the present moment from the admitted superiority of their newriiieand of their artillery. The cry of retrenchment in Italy comes at a very awkward moment, and may seriously affect the relations of the powers. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Lord Randolph Churchill Forces Lord Hamilton to Reveal Dls Naval Plans.

London, March 17. Lord Randolph Churchill held a protracted private interview with Lord George Hamilton, First Lord of the Admiralty, yesterday, on the subject of the new scheme for the augmentation of the navy. While nothing is definitely known of what took place at the conf erence, it is understood, and quite generally believed, that Lord Churchill insisted upon the submission to himself and his adherents of an elaborate and voluminous presentation of tho government's plans. Lord Hamilton demurred, alleging that tho schedule demanded would involve an immense amount of clerical labor, and consume a great deal of valuable time. The Tory-Democratic leader was obdurate, and threatened to move an ugly amendment to the naval bill in the Houso unless his request was complied with. Lord Hamilton hesitated, but after some reflection consented to furnish the information desired in detail. Prisoners of War Shot to Death. New York, March 17. The steamer Caroline Miller arrived here last night with news from Cape Haytian. Captain Miller 6aid that twelve of Legitime's soldiers, who had been taken prisoners by Hyppolito, were shot in the public square at Cape Haytian the day beforo the steamer left. The unfortunate wretches had been prisoners for some months. Sympathizers with Legitime had endeavored to get the men released, and Hyppolite had become distrustful of many of his officers. He therefore had them put to death. He said that Cape Haytian was filled with Legitime'a spies. According to one of the otucers of the Caroline Miller, a transport, the size of an ordinary tug, was permanently engaged carrying arms and other implements of war from Monte Christ i to Cape Haytian, for the use of Hyppolite's men. The United States steamer Galena was anchored at Cape Haytian when tho Miller lift. A Self-Respecting German Banker. London, March 17.--Herr Cohen, of Dessau, who was the privato banker of the lato Emperor William, of Germany, enjoyed tho confidence of that sovereign to such a degree that the Kaiser decreed that tho banker's simple statement should suffice in all matters m connection with the Emperor's finances, extending this order to the settlement of his estate with the imperial heirs. All of Cohen's intercourse with the Kaiser was direct, but the present Emperor, presumably at the request of some jealous member of tho court, recently ordered Cohen to communicate with him through Hcrr Von Liebnau, the grand marshal of theconrt. Cohen refused to conduct his business in that way, and severed his connection with the imperial finances. Consequently there is no court bankerat present. Denouncing Ilenry George's Friends. London, March 18. The Times attacks Messrs. Cremer and Clark, Radical members of Parliament, for joining with the Radical clubs in the welcome to Henry George, on Saturday. The Times says: "Mr. George's doctrines come as near a spoliation as anything that has been proposed by a man with a character to lose since the French revolution. Men like Mr. Cremer wish to apply the operations of tho Irish leaguers to England, Scotland and Wales." Frenchmen Massacred. Berlin, March 17. A Hamburg correspondent at Tientsin reports that an upris ing of natives has taken place on the frontier of Kiangsi, during which ten block houses were burned and a hundred or more Frenchmen massacred.

Special to t!e Indianapolis Journal. Columbus, O.. March 17. Trouble be tween the operators and miners seems to bo inevitable since the failure of the joint con vention to agree upon a scale of prices at the meeting in this city, and it is likely to start in Ohio before the lapse of many days. At Salinavillo thero is al ready a difference as to the screens in use, and a prominent omcer of tho JSational lrogressive Union said that it was more than probable that a double strike would be inaugurated there to maintain the present scale of prices and to force the operators to nso the regulation screen. He was nsked if a strike was inaugurated in this State if it would not give tho Indiana operators an immense advan tage over those in Ohio in supph ing the great market of tho Isortt west, and in this connection the officer made an important statement. This matter had been considered, he 6aid. result tho decision had been arrived at, in the event of a strike in Ohio, to withdraw all the union men from the mines in Indiana, and lessen the competitive powers of the operators by curtailing the output. The otlicers of the union generally anticipate trouble during the present season, but express a willingness to do all possible to avoid a clash between operators and miners. Indiana Operators Will Organize. Special to tli Indianapolis Journal. Brazil, March 17. The Indiana coal operators who withdrow from the joint convention with the Miners National Unicn at Columbus, O., Wednesday last, became their demand for a 13 per cent, reduction in theyearly scale-base was refused, will meet at Terre Haute, to-morrow, to e fleet aStite organization. They claim that tby can set coal mined at 57 cents for bituminous tnd 70 cents for block. No difficulty with the miners is anticipated, and work will improve as the market is regained from Illinois, Ohio and Pennsylvania operators.

SALARIES OF CONGRESSMEN. Senators and Representatives Think 85,000 a Year Insufficient Fay. Washington, March 17. The resignation of Senator Chace upon the threshhold of his second term of six years in the highest legislative body in the world, has aroused renewed interest in a subject that is bound to receive early and earnest consideration in the Congress. Senator Chace, in private., gives as the reason why he can no longer serve his State and country as a legislator that the compensation of a Senator was not sufficient to warrant him in longer neglecting his business. He has expressed the opinion that he is considerably poorer for his legislative experience than he would have been had he remained at the helm of his business and directed its course through the breakers of the past dozen or fifteen years. He is one of the largest cotton manufacturers in New England, and several times during the recent tariff debate in tho Senate evinced his familiarity with that subject in its relations to the indnstry in which he was interested, and gave valuable assistance to his Republican colleagues in the discussion of the Senate substitute for tho Mills bill. The question of increasing the compensation of Congressmen has been receiving the earnest attention of Senators, especially, of late, and there is an overwhelming sentiment among them in favor of making tho salary of Congressmen $10,000 a year instead of $5,000, as it is at present. Members of tho House of Representatives, while thoroughly in sympathy with tho Senate on this point, are not yet ready to go to the full length desired by them, fearing a repetition of tho outbreak of censure visited upon tho Congress of 1873 for its action on the salary question. But it is argued by the advocates of the increased salary that what the people were indignant about then was the "back-pay grab" feature, and mat, if the increase wero made to date from tho end of the Fifty-first Congress, no serious opposition would be made to it. There was a frank expression of views by the Senators on this topic in one of the secret sessions last week, in a discussion that ensued upon the introduction of a resolution by Senator Teller authorizing the Secretary of the Senatotopay to committee clerks serving on a per diem basis during tho session of the Senate, and the clerks to Senators, during the comiug recess, the per diem allowed by law. Mr. Teller, previous to presenting the resolution, which was referred to the committee on contin gent expenses, said that in his experience .as chairman of a committee, he had been compelled, at times, to employ two men to attended to the correspondence devolving upon him. and it was a heavy burden upon him. He believed Senators should hayo annual clerks, because their duties did not cease with the adjournment of tho Senate. Senators Dawes.Ste wart, Harris and Gray indorsed tho sentiments expressed by Mr. Teller, but Senators Morrill, Morgan and Hale 6aid it would be impossible to provido a' clerk for every Senator this year, inasmuch as the appropriations have all been made, and in any event the co-operation of tne House would ne essential to carry out the proposition. In concluding the debate, Mr. Piatt said: "Mr. President, when the proper committee shall consider the matters which havo been spoken of here this morning, I think that committee ought to go further. think it ought to consider the question as to whether Senators are fairly paid for tho work which they do, and whether tho salary of a Senator of the United States ought not to be raised. I know that it is charged that tho Senate of tho United States is composed largely of rich men. to whom salary is no object. To some extent it may bo true that there are Senators to whom the salary is very little object, but there aro Senators here who have nothing to live upon except their salaries, and who are paid less for the services which they render than thev would bo paid in nnv other walk or occupation of lite for similar services, and very much less. In addition to that, Senators have a great many expenses wnicu tneir position necessarily entails, and the result is that there are Senators who havo no income behind their salaries, and who are obliged to livo in a pinched and very unpleasant way in the city of Washington." Mr. Morrill May I ask the Senator from Connecticut if ho is not aware that no man can come hero with his family and rent a decent house and livo without spending twice the amount of his salary f Mr. Piatt I havo been aware and I think, perhaps, I may as well say it as anyone, because! think I am as poor a man as there is in the Senate I have been made most painfully aware of the inability of a Senator of the United States to live in the city of Washington in anything like tho style, and with anything like the comforts, which we have at home, and which other people have in Washington, who, perhaps, are entitled to the same social position that we are, and we are entitled to the same social position that they are. We are put at a disadvantage which we feel every day of our lives; and thero are Senators' hero who will echo what I say, knowing it to bo true. Now, I do not complain of it for myself. I can remedy it for myself if I choose to do so. If I do not choose to endure the privation for I use that word which a Senator of the United States, who is compelled to live on his salary, must endure, I can remedy that by resigning my place and going home to my constituents and allowing them to send somebody here who has an income which he can devote to living in Washington. I think it is quite time that some plain words wero spoken on this subject, and I have taken this occasion to speak them." MINOR APrOIXTMEXTS. Probabilities as to Selections for Assistant Secretaries and Other Positions. Special to the Imllanapolis JoarnL Washington', March 17. President nilgard, of the Agriculture College of California, is the man for Assistant Secretary of Agriculture. He is highly recommended by Seuator Stanford and the California delegation in Congress, bnt is not a candidate for the place, and it is not known if he will accept. The President has had more trouble filling this office than any other, not that there is a scarcity of applicants, but none of them seem to fill the bill, and several gentlemen to whom it has been tendered have found it impossible, for one reason or another, to accopt. Governor Furnas, of Nebraska, declined it because he prefers tho position he has at home: President Atherton, of tho University of

Pennsylvania, for a similar reason, and Prof. Brewer, of Yale, who accepted, was compelled to withdraw that acceptance at the ince of his physician, who told him that idertake the duty would cost him hish Prof. Hilgard's name was sngpeste. y Prof. Brewer, and the suggestion is highly indorsed by all the scientific men in Washington. It has been suggested several times lately that ex-Postmaster General Tvner. of Indi

ana, will be appointed second or third as sistant under l'ostmaster-general anamaker. Some of the leading Republicans from Indiana do not think that will bo done. They say that Mr. Tyner will bo provided with a pood position, but it will not be as an assistant to the Postmastergeneral. One who is in position to speak by authority 6ays that the place to be given to Mr. Tyner, is that of "law officer for the Postollice Department," now held by Judge Bryan, of Wisconsin. This place corresponds with the solicitorship of tho Treasury, and is really the assistant attorney-generalship for the Postoffice Department. It conies under the Department of Justice, and the duties attached to it relate to the settlement of all questions relating to the administration of the postal laws. The salary is the earns as that received cy the Assistant Postmaster-general, $4,000 a year. It is the understanding among Western men to-day that Chilcott, of Colorado, will be appointed Commissioner of the General Land Otfico to-morrow, and Stone, of Iowa, Assistant Commissioner. The clerks and door-keepers at the Post office Department are considerably exercised over the fact that Mr. Wanaruaker appears at his office about 8 o'clock in the morning, instead oMO, the hour his predecessors have usually made their appearance. Mr. Wanamaker has ordered that his room bo made ready for him before 8, so that ho can get in two hours' work before the office-seekers begin to arrive. Judge Taylor, of Fort Wayne, Ind., will probably be appointed one of the Civilservice Commissioners, taking the placo of Judge Edgerton, of Indiana, who was reremoved by President Cleveland just bef or the change of administrations. The Consular Service. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Washington, March 17. The President has said to several delegations who havo called to suggest men for South American missions that he intends to get the best men he can for those posts, and is not going to be in a hurry in making selections. Ha has given notice, too, that he does not intend to make any appointments to the consular service during the present executive session. He thinks the consular corps needs overhauling, and wants plenty of time to d i TRIAL, S OF OFFICE-SEEKERS. Tribulations Borne by the Place-Huntcrt Uasks Upon Which They Feed. Washington Special to New York Trilrane. "No nominations to-day," sighed tho office-seeker, this morning, as he remembered that the Senate had adjourned over until Monday morning. He ate his breakfast with scant appetite and glanced over hia morning paper with a listless and dejected air. He has already learned that 4insido information," obtained by and through men. who profess to have "exclusive" facilities and to be infallible, is not to bo trusted, but he speedily forgets the lesson. "Hopo springs eternal" in the office-seeker's breast, and soon after he enters the "rumor exchange," which is in full blast at his hotel: his eyes brighten, the weary, discouraged expression vanishes from his countenance, he becomes buoyant and active, and devours with avidity tho morsel offered by the friendly quidnunc, who is full of mystery and misinformation, which he doles out with cautious tongue. 'I've just had a long talk with Senator , but 1 am not at liberti' to mention his name. Ho spent an hour with the President this morning, and feels confident that you aro all right." Ts that sof What did -the President say?" "Oh, well, you know, the Senator was not at liberty to repeat what the President said. In fact, it was not eo much what ho said, as tho manner iu which ho saidit,and the interest ho manifested in finding a good man for the place that made the interview significant." Upon such husks as these .is the officeseeker fain to feed, if not to thrive and be content. Of course he takes a good deal of exercise, for ho usually has several 6trings to his bow. If he cannot be an assistant secretary in ono department, ho is willing to be chief of a bureau in another department, and something else in a third department, and he feels it a necessity to call on all three of them once or twice a day to see that the places are still there. Then he must pay a daily visit to tho Capitol when tho Senate is in session, lest he should be nominated and confirmed unbeknownst" to himself. At least one visit each day to the White House he regards as indespensable, . and ho must see his Senator and Representative onco or twice a day, or they might forget that ho wants an oflice and give it to somebody else. Often he is a man who has been introduced to President Harrison or one of the members of his Cabinet and exchanged a few words with him, upon the strength of which ho builds high hopes and sneaks fumiliary of "mjT friend Wmdom, or refers to the Secretary of Stato as "Jim," or declares that "President Harrison knows me well and does not forget how much I did toward placing him where he is to-day." Usually the omco-seeker finds that he has three or four or a dozen competitors for each of tho places he has in view, and a good deal of his time is occupied in watching their movements and comparing the weight of their "influence" with that which is enlisted in his own behalf. Sometimes he makes overtures to them in the name of "harmony," which overtures usually aro fruitless because they involve the retirement of the other man. THE MORTONS AS ENTERTAINERS. They Will Take thelad in the Hospitalities of the Administration Circle. Washington Special. Mrs. Morton will bo Mrs. Whitney's successor in Washington society. She will not excel Mrs. Whitney no one could do that, but she will take her place as fully, perhaps, as it could bo taken by any one. Mrs. Blaine will entertain successfully in her now old mansion. She has changed as much as her husband in eight years, and was never so charming as now. Mrs. Windom will entertain quietly but hospitably, as she did before. Mrs. Wanamaker and young Mrs. Wanamaker, who has already many friends here, will keep up the traditions of the Frelinghuysen house, and tho wives of the other Cabinet officers will doubtless do their share of the social work which falls to them. But for entertaining on the grand scale and in the splendid style, the administration will have to look to tho Vice-president and his wife, who ara richer twice over than all tho others put together. Such great wealth is of course indispensable. It is valueless in itself, bnt invaluable when the social qualities go with it, Mrs. Whitney simply did every day , and almost every hour of the day, without effort, what the rest cf us do once in a while, longer or shorter as our purse, and with more or less of an effort. All day and half the night tha Whitneys house stood hospitably open to its friends. It saw guests at every meal and guests between every meal, a musicals every other afternoon, a dance every other evening. Even-thing at all times, was of the best at its best and all in perfect taste. Through it all the Whitneys, secure in tho certainty to please, seemed ns happy and ns unconcerned as tho youngest of their guests. Their tact was as remarkable as their taste. They Invited a great many people to their houso from without tho pale of "society." That was one of the many expressions of their kindly liberality. No one of these outsiders was ever allowed to feel otherwise than at home. No one could feel otherwise in that genial atmosphere. , They never allowed their entertainments to become monotonous. Each was fresh, and nil were different, so that they never lost their zest. Take them all in all and 1 doubt whether you could find a more brilliant series any wnere. Now Mr. and Mrs. Morton can and will emulate this example successfully. To be sure, when they lived hero before, in oh
