LOOK AT HIS RECORD.

Hr. Harrison s Utterances in the Sonata ihnys Against Libjr's Interests. Twwi of Judge Holnaa in Relatioa ti the In dia.ni Senatorial Contest, Tho Widow cf General Login Njw tie Sole Owner of Calumjt Plac?. TT In Endeavors to Settle the Canadiaa Fish riet Question An Important Decision by th Supreme ConrL Special to the Seutlneh Washi;to!, Jan. 17. Tfce attempt of the Journal's correspondent to prove Senator ITarrison the champion of tne Knights of Labor ia regarded as the broadest farce in modern drama, and has created a hoarse guffaw araoDg those familiar with the career of Ben Harrison aa Captain of militia raised at Indianapolis to shoot down strikers in lhT7. If Captain Harrison ha? any record at all it is entirely negative, with one exception, and that is dead against him. It is tro Captain Harrison did present sundry petitions of the Knights of Laor in the Senate, ;&nd he did feebly say that they were wortbypeople and he "hoped'' they woald receive respectful attention. Where his Captain Harrison been during all these six years -of Senatorial service? What bill has he offered to carry out the prayer of these petitions? There ia not a bill on the files of the Senate cSered by Captain Harrison sounding one note of sympathy fcr labor. This is not only true, but the only affirmative 'record be has made is an utterance strictly against the interests of the labor of the country fiat he has bo jr'ibly prated about when pleading the case of the monopolistic and over-gorged princely American manufacturers. Captain Harrison had hardly got warm ia his Senatorial seat before Senator Grover. of Oregon, offered a resolution to enlarge the meaning of the word "laborer" in the Chinese treaty, 60 aa to include "artisans and miners ' The result of this amendment would have been to make the treaty igainst Chinese labor effective. The bloated and Insolent monopolists whom Harrison always voted to protect were bringing into the country many thousands of Chinese against the restriction of the treaty debarring laborers under the pretext that they were skilled artisans or miners, and this way they were nullifying ' the treaty and setting public law at defiance, to the ininry of starving American labor. Captain Harrison did not then think he would need the Knights of Labor vote to elf ct him to the United States Senate and boom him for the Presidency, go he boldly and strenuously opposed the expansion of the meaning of the word laborer in the treaty to its legitimate significance, showin that, while be was willing to protect capital, he heartlessly left the laborer to contend against the degraded cheap labor of Mongolia. His record will be found in the proceedings cf the Sena'c April 27 ,'182, paes 3,351) and Z,Zm, Congressional Record. Let the Knights of Labor read it, and atso read the resolution offered by Senator Glover, and the debate on it, and they will be satisfied that Captain Harrison was in hü most original sphere when he raised the home guards. Canadian Fisheries (Jaestion. Special to the Sentinel. "WiSHriKiTOjr. Jan. 17. The fisheries otpstlon, which is etill unsettled between New Kngland and Canada, remains a vexed problem and may yet be decided by tte arbitrament of arms. It is net likely that Great Britain will low-?r its unreasonable riVman,!. while our coast remains defenseless and the navyi helpless against the modern men-of-war of Lngland that can destroy a city while eight miles out at sea. But unles3 this question can be determined to the satisfaction of Americans it is evident thtt it will eventually precipilate war. There is only one trae solution, only oie ju?t and honorable settlement, and that is the freedom of the tigh seas to any one or everybody; the right to take fish anywhere they c&n be caught. One nation has no more riVt to monopolize the tea. than it has to corner all the air and sunshine ol the skies. 1 his is the complexion into which it must come at last. Neither Brituiia nor any of the egotistic, overgrown and Insolent powers should be permitted to aggrandize itself to the detriment cf other nations or people. The question is a big ene, and it will take millions of money and thousands of livec to settle it; but it ia a Jeseon of equal justice that mast be administered. America Is the boy who can do it, and the surplus may yet 2nd plenty of employment in that direction. Diplomacy, a treacherous game of finesse and catch-all-you-an, is vainly endeavorins to settle tlie trouble. Judge Hoiman'a Vie im. Spec Lai to the SenKneL Wafhisgtox. Jan. 17. Judge Eolman re'ferring to the Star interview denies that he -ever cast any doobt on Judge Turple'a election. He said to tlie Sentinel to-night: "I did cot intimate the least doubt any time bout JudreTurpie'a election by the legal majority of the Indiana Legislature; on the contrary, I said I had no doubt that the Legislature of Indiana would elect Jndge Turpie, and that he would have the If gal and constitutional election as Senator, but thxt the Repablicana manifestly intended by revolutionary means to electa Republican by independent action through the House of Representatives, and I expressed doubt as to the ultimate result, In view of the evident determination of the Republicans in the United States Senate to maintain their ascendency at every hazird. I have no doubt. whatever thit intc Turpie will be elected by a majority of the Legislature who are entitled to vote, and the only apprehensfen I have ever felt opon ths mbject was In regard to the action of the United State Senate if the Republicans of oar Etate determine to go through the form of an election.

Pemocrau llopeful. Special to the Sentinel Wafhinoton, Jan 17. The Journal correspondent is altogether too previous in statine in his Sunday special that the Democrats here have given up the straggle as to Senator. The Democrats here have always been hopeful. Tbey have ever been conscious of the right, and never doubled, if the will of the people was carried out, a Democrat will be selected to succeed Ben Harrison. But tie rascality and evident intent of the Kepublican gang to steal the Senatorial seat ontrght, and the willingness of a partisan Senate here to sanction and confirm tte raje of the State, hxs, of cjurse, given the Democrats here some anxiety; but to-day's news from Indiana the decisioi of Judge Avers has stimulated the Democratic If art and correspondingly d-prtwd theo-Ci-nspira ors Lere.

Nils ITann (which might be translated "no hogging") is the unique name of the individual nominated to sueced Price (deceased), of Wisconsin, in the House. He is six feet four incl.es and tips the beam at 300. He is a native of Norway, but having been brought here in infancy, he is in speech, habit and education an American. His face is large and his countenance wears a very open expression. When he takes his seat (there is no doubt of his election) he will be the biggest man of the House. To the Associated Press. Supreme Court Decisions. WAfniKGTON, Jan. 17. A decision was rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States to-day in the murder case of John Hayes, plaintiff in error, against the State of Missouri. Hayes was tried in the Criminal Court of St. Lonis in 1S2 for the murder of one Mueller on the 2Gth of August, 1 831. The jury found him guilty and he was sentenced to death. He has brought his case to this court by a writ of error upon the ground that the law of Missouri provides that in capital cases in cities having a population of more than 100.000 the State shall be allowed fifteen peremptory challenges to jurors, while elsewhere in Missouri the State is allowpd in sucl cases only eight peremptory challenges. This provision of the law, the prisoner maintains, operated to his disadvantage in the trial in St. Louis, and was a denial to him of the ' equal protlction of the laws" enjoined by tne Fourteenth Amendment of the Federal Constitution. This court holds that alio kim; the State fifteen peremptory challenges ia capital cases tried in cities containing a population of more than 100,0-X) is simply providirg fgaißst tht2 difficulty of securing in such cases imparti 1 juries in cities o! tint size, which does not exist in other pirfions of the State. So far from defeating it may furn'sh the me? ns of giving the "equal protection of the laws" which the Fourteenth Armndment declares shall not be denied. There is nothing in the legislation of Miasonri on this point which is repugnant to that amendment, and the judgmeut of the Supreme Court of the S;ate is atHrinei. Opinion by Justice Field.

Arm oar and the ISrirklayer. Cnic Aco, Jan. 17. The statement Is rniJe here that Mr. P. D. Armour, after vanquishing the Knights of Labor in their battle over the eight-Lour day, has thrown down the gauntlet to the Bricklayers' Union, and an interesting straggle is now going on in consequence. Tne trouble arose over Mr. Armour's action in regard to the bricklayers on some of his stock-yards work. After engaging Chris Garry, a member of the union, as his foreman by tte year, Mr. Armoar insisted on the men working ten hours. Garry endeavored to enforce the order, when the rest of the bricklayers struck. Garry's case came before the union at once, and he was lined $700, which hebas refused o pay, at the same time declining to appear and defend himself. The bricklayers were then called off all the buildings in whose coDBtruciion Mr. Armour was interested except the Armour mission, which the union excepted on accouat of its character. Since then a number of bricklayers just how many is in question have been imported from the countiy and put to work at ten hours. These men are kept secluded, and all efiorts of the union to reach them to call them ell the jobs have proved fruitless. The walking delegate who made the final attempt was arrested and taken to tte town hall, but was immediately released, as no charge would hold against him for raerely being in the building. As the union In withdrawn from the trades assembly, no Lelj can be gained from that source, and the union .inds itself powerless thus far. "Armour's action means simply that he is beginning the light against eight hours to help tbe ccntractors who dare not do It them selves, " said a member of the union yesterday. "He is going to import enough men here an hia work to give the contractors a force w.ith tt ilch to start the war upan the Union irjr inj fceAt nnt OUT eight boars! Indiana IValaut and Oak Timber Rraree. Fort Way.ve, Jan. 17. The Pennsylvania Company, operating the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne anacniccgo icauway, has this winter begun purchasing the white oak and bar oak ties nsed on that line In West Virginia where the wood ia more plentiful and equally as cheap. When it Is borne in mind that not muiiy years ago the growth of oak, walnut and other timber was so great as to lead Lieutenant Maury in his official reports to the Government, to designate Indiana as "the steppes of America," the present depleted condition of the forests of the State is well worth tJe attention of arborculturallsts and the public generally. Within the last twenty years n. iy all of the walnut has been cut off in the northern part of the 8tate, and cow it appears that the oak is no longer able to supply the railroads. The average life of an cak tie is seven years. By the explosion of a boiler on the M)3niioi .rat at Ma.ts.nzar. Cnha. Tita rriuina were killed aad several ptheri were injured, '

The contents of the store were well icsaied. No arrests have ytt been made. The Mabbltt Mystery. Fraxkfout, Jan. 17. The latest news concerning the Mabbitt mystery has a tendency to make one believe that there is more of a disposition on the part of friends to continue the mystery than to elucidate the matter. Mr. Mabbltt. the father of the missing girl, in conversation recently with the Delphi Times elitor, said that all the r.ewspaper talk about the discovery of Gieea and bis daughter in Texas" was pure fabrications, con cted by newspaper p en and reporters.

A Times special from Huntington, W. Va., says: About a week ego reports were received from counties in the southem part of the State saying that loud detonations had been heard and violent tremors of the earth felt along the valley of Big Ugly Creek, a tributary to the Gnyandotte Iii ter, The explosion occurred at

night and produced great consterna'ion among the people of the region, but no plausible reason for It coul J be assigned. A letter has just been received from Lincoln County, West Virginia, which clesrs away the mystery. The letter says that a few days ago, while lumbermen were floating logs down Big Ugly Creek, tbey came to an obstruction which did not exist when they passed up to cut the timber a month before. The bed of the stream was completely filled with bnge fragments of stone, newly separated, while similar fragments were strewn about among the timber at the foot of the mountain, dewn the side of which tbey had evidently been rolled, as the timber and underwood was much broken. The top of the monutaic, mainly on the side toward the stream, showed a huge, crater-like near, and the observers could see a large column of steam arising from it. The lumbermen were afraid to venture up, but reported the discovery at Hamlin, the county seat, The letter says the whole county is excited over the matter, and it is regarded as the source of the tremors and explosions heard and felt.

The Arm of the Iaw Prevents Usurpation on the hit of Colonel Roberton, Who is Restrained From Interfering With President Smith, of tie Senile. Judge Ayres Holds That the Election of a Lieutenant-Governor Was Void, And the Man Claiming That 02ce Hi3 Ko Rights in the Assembly. The Ccnrt Orders Hirn Kot to Attempt to Giver n the Joint Conyenticn, COLONEL ROBERTSON ENJOIXEO. Tbe Circntt Court Restrains II im From Per. forming the Duties of Lieutenant-Governor.-rjhe position taken by the Democratic members of the General Assembly at the opening of the present session, and which has been valiantly held despite the infamous methods adopted by the revolutionists of the House, was materially strengthened yesterday by the decision of Judge Alx. C. Ayres, of the Circuit Court, in the case of Hon. A. G. Smith against Colonel R. S. Robertson, involving the right to exercise the lunctions cf the office of Lieutenant-Governor. The case is one of paramount importance, not only to the political parties, but to all the people ot the State, and it has received wide-spread attention owing to the fact that the outcome of the difficulty would be accepted as a weighty precedent in shaping the political future of the Commonwealth. Additional interest was given to the case by the manifest determination of the Republicans to use the office in dispute to further their schemes to steal the Legislature and fraudulently reelect Mr. Harrison to the United States Senate. To one cla3s of citizens, the lawyers, the case was especially interesting, and to those of the profession who have watched the proceedings as lawyers, and not as men interested in tbe success of either political party, yesterday's decision was in no sens unexpected ; in fact, the ablest attorneys of tte State who had investigated the questions involved, Eave Senator Harrison's law firm and like Republican attorneys of the offensively partisan order, expressed the opinion sometime ago that when the case came before tbe courts on its merits it would be held tbat a Lieutenant-Governor could not be elected in an "off year." For this reason the Republicans have strenuously opposed all overtures of a legal settlement. Under the order of the court, which accompanied the decision, Colonel Robertson' is enjoined from performing any of the duties of President of the Senate or presiding officer, or interfering in any manner with Senator Smith in the discharge of his duties as President of the Senate, and the restraining order shall be observed until the further order of the court. FOB CORRUPTION AT THE POLLS. McDonald, of Jackxon, Found Guilty of Rrtberyand Unseated by tlie Senate. After hours of expectancy had passed by and two dull regions had been dragged out to a weary length, Senator Bailey at 4 o'clock yesterday arternoon presented the report of tne t onimiuee on h,ections In the Uran a u.sn-W cDonald case. The public did not seeai so much interested m the event, or at least had doubted whether it would come to puss, as the gallery contained comparatively few spectators at the time the report was maoe. A number of visitors were on tae floor, however, and all betrayed a deep interest when Senator Bailey finally Cime in, took his seat and presented the report. He said that benators t rench and Sears had not been prerent when the report was finished, and that be understood the minority report would be presented to-morrow morning. The ma jority report was as follows: Your Committee oa Election haTlne'under con sideration the matter ot the couteoiej election eae of Frank liranaman, contestor, aeainst imam 14. wcionaia, comes tee, lor the onice ot State benator from the counties ot Jackson and iAwrcnce, rtBpectfully report that they have carefully examined the depositions and all other papers referred to themand taken the oral testimony of inch witnesses as have come before them regarding the matter ia controversy.

Upon the whole case your committee finds 1. That the contestee, William N. McDonald, did, while he was a candidate for the oUice of State Senator from tbe Senatorial district composed of the counties of Jackson and Lawrence, give to voters of said Senatorial district and offer to give to them bribes of large suras of money to secure his election at the November election, lssfi, to the office of State Hc-Dator from the district aforesaid, which will particularly ariear by reference to the testimony of W. M. McClollan, William Champion, Kichard Madden, John B. Able, Alfred Guthrie and tieorve Ltdd, which statements were whoily nndenied by the said McDonald, and that the said William N. McDonald thereby haa disqualified himself for holding the oilice of Senator during the term for which he was elected. 2. That at the time of said election ,and for at least ten days or two weeks previous thereto. It was a matter of common rumor and generally and publicly known by the voters of said Senatorial district that the said Wm. N. McDonald was corruptly using money and intended to tine money la the manner atoresald for the purpose of securing his election to the office of Senator, as will be seen by reference to the testimony of lierman Brunning and r rauk Brauaman. aud because ot these facts, and the further fa:t that the contestor. Frauk Branaman, received the next hiebest number of votes ratat said election for the Senator aforesaid, that the sal 1 Frank Branaman was dnlr eiecied to said office of Senator and Is now en titled to the same. Wherefore tout committee recommends the adoption of the following: Keolved. Tbat it is the indirment of the RenntA of the Slate of Indiana that William N. McDouald, who is now holding a seat In the Senate as fesator from the conn ties of Jackson and Lawrence, Indiana, has dlsiualißed himself for holding the ald seat of Senator during the term for which he was elected by riving and offering to rive bribes of Is ree ums of money to secure his election to said ofLce of Senator, and that Frank 1

Branaman, the fcontestor, was at said election dnly "elected to said offlje of Senator and is now entitled to the same, and that he now be sworn into said office as Senator from the counties oi Jackson and Lawrence. Kesolved, That this report be spread at full length on the journals of the Renate. Lkom O. Bailey, Chairman Committee on Elections. F. M. Howard, F. M. GaiFFITU. Accompanying the report are exhibits giving the testimony in full. After the reading of the report and the exhibits, Senator Bailey said that, as life was short and time was fleeting, he would move the previous question. Senator Dresser said he wished that no action be taken on the report until the repert of the minority could be submitted. They had not finished taking evidence until just fifteen minutes before that time. Senator Bailey retorted that it was known in the committee that this report would be submitted and acted upon. The committee had important business to attend to and did not want to keep witnesses waiting. Senator Johnson wanted to know how they could judge the case until both Eides were presented. Senator Dresser said he had understood that the majority report would not be acted on then that it would lie over till to-morrow. Senator Bailey was agaTnt any postponement. The testimony taken by the minority was to show not that McDonald was innocent but Branaman, who had not been accused at all, was guilty. Senator Winter asked whether the witnesses were not men whose reputations for truth and veracity were bad, and that several of them were really engaged in purchasing votes. Senator Bailey replied that he would aar "no" to the general question. McDonald had not denied having given money for votes. Senator Winter asked what the chairman supposed be was granting when he said the minority was to be submitted. The President interrupted the discussion and said the question was whether the Senate seconded the demand for the previous question. Senator Campbell claimed that it was not a majority report inasmuch as it was signed but by three, when the committee was composed of seven. The President decided that as two of the members were paired it was a majority. And tbe vote was taken on seconding the demand for tbe previous ques'ion. Senator Barrett explained his vde in the negative by saying that he thought a reasonable time should be afforded to allow the minority to make a report. Senator Urmston also believed that the minority should be beard, and voted "no." Senator Howard, of St. Joseph, also voted "no." The voted resulted yeas, 24; nays, 21. Senator Campbell moved a division of the question, which was agreed to. The first ballot was on the expulsion of the f enator from Jackson and Lawrence Counties. Senator Barrett said he had voted "no" on seconding the previous question, as he thought the Senator ought to be heard in his own behalf, but as he had not seized the opportunity, he voted "aye." Other Democratic Senators who had voted "no" on the first ballot row voted "aye." Senator Kennedy asked to be excused as there was a similar case pending against him, but objection was made, and he had to "ote. Senator McDonald, the contestor, said: "This here bill has all been manufactured. I never approached these men. I don't wish to vote in this matter, but I think the report on my side ouht to be heard." The vote stood yeas, 29; nays, 16. On the question of seating Frank Branaman Senator Davis said it was unfair to unseat a man and seat another on mere rumor. Senator Sellers claimed that when the fact of bis having bribed voters was notorious in his district it was sufficient to expel him. Senator Winter said that mere rumor had never been accepted by any court. There was more evidence against Branaman than there was against his competitor. The vote was V'9 yeas to lti nays a strict party vote. The President asked the contestee to step forward, and te was sworn in due form. Senator Winter said he wished to enter a protest asalnst the whole proceedings, which he would submit in writing in the morning. Senator Bailey then made a motion that the vote adopting the report as a whole be considered, and tbat that motion be laid upon the table, which was carried. Senator Howard, of Shelby, offered the following resolution : Whereas, This Senate, without nucstiontm? or criticising thelprercgative of the House, views with alarm the precedent afforded by the unseating of Cornelius Meagher, of Vigo County; and Whereas, The icrslstent endeavor to alter representative complexion in either house by the extravagant and extraordinary exercise oi prerogative ia always to be regarded as an element of great public danger; and Whereas, The Senate, on account of the great need of legislation to promote the interests ot tne benevolent and other;lnFti tut ions of the State, is averse to going into a strained and technical examination of either house; therefore, be it Kesolved, 'ihat a conference committee be appointed, to consist of fve members from the lloufe and an equal number irom the Senate, whose doty it shall te to confer together and, if possible, agree upon and report back to each branch of this General Assembly some method of procedure by which to assure careful and proper consideration for the matters recited In the ford

going pream Die, ana such determination as the cemaiiua inereoi may seem to require. Senator Winter raised the point of order iuai eacn nouse was tne sole judge of the qualifications of its members. Senator Bailey said the resolution did not conflict with the Constitntinn. Senator Dresser wanted to do something cioc ucoiue treating ana unseating memaers, and would vote aye. SenatorMcDonald thought the resolution proper. The action in the Meagher case uycriurneu me will oi the people. This would set it rieht nrain. Senator Johnson said he had heard nothing of the voice of the 4,000 people who made up Robertson's majority. The President You heard of it to-day.
