C., Nov. 17.—The action of the democratic members of congress from New York in declaring their preference for Representative Sulzer for minority leader will mate- rially help Mr. DeArmond.

The . the shooting that followed soon af- ably come solidly to the support of Mr. DeArmond. No material change in predictions s to caucus figures has been made since members arriving in numbers. Representatives Benton, Lloyd and Cl , who have been keeping track of incoming democrats, are encour- aged at the prospects of Judge De- Arment. They are convinced beyond cavil that the fight, even at this june- ture, is one between Richardson of Tennessee and the Missourian, and they believe that the latter will get most of the strength now claimed by Bankhead of Alabama, while Rich- ardson is apt to be taken up and pushed forward by Tammany. Representative Champ Clark said to-night: “‘As to the democratic lead- ership, only one thing is certain, and that is the man who receives 86 votes is a winner; he may win with less. Originally 172 anti-republicans were elected to the 56th congress. The places of Settle of Kentucky and Ermentrout, of Pennsylvania, are vacant, leaving 170. One of these is a silverite, three or four populistsand two or three fusionists. These may or may not attend the democratie caucus. While I would not disparage the claim of any candidate or any state, cast suspicion upon the fealty of any candidate, it is nevertheless true that in the public mind Missouri is more intimately associated with the Chi- cago platform and the restoration of silver than is any other state, and for that reason DeArmond should be chosen. It would be a splendid tribute to the memory of Dick Bland to nomi- nate a Missouri democrat of his way of thinking. With a Missourian for leader the world would not have tobe told that the party is still for the silver issue.” a ig ci to save the enormous cost of tr: q Situation. porting insane persons from that sec- ee mente, I9th. tion of the state. Another reason for the new asylum is that the others arecrowded. Betweenappropriating money to build additions to the lums already existing and building a new one in the southeast, the law- makers chose the latter course. terward. His brother stopped in the lane not far from the house and King went with his shotgun loaded with No. 8 shot. Hesays he made two trips, the first time shooting his brother's dog by accident, when two shots were fired by his brother and his com- nion at him. He thenretreated to is house and reloaded his gun and made another trip to the wagon, this time walking in his own field. There he met his brother, who he says was crouching with his gun and coming toward him when he fired twice. He then went home and ate his supper, his brother being cared for by neigh- bors attracted by the shooting. At last accounts the wounded man wasina precarious condition, little pe for his recovery being enter- - The long contest over the location _ of the new asylum in southeast Mis- souri ended yesterday, and Farming- ton won the prize.

Then the com- missioners, after spending two days in examining the various propositions narrowed the contest down to three towns and went back to personally inspect those towns again. There was another big gathering from Southeast Missouri in the La- clede yesterday, when the commis- sioners assembled in their room. Ev- “erybody understood that the matter would be definitely settled, and there was much guessing as to the result, as the anxious ones tried to amuse . themselves while the hours slipped away. Those who had noimmediate concern said all along that Farming- ton would win. The site selected is about midway between Farmington and De Lassus, the two towns being but a little over twe miles apart. Twohundred acres } of the land is in cultivation and 100 * is heavily timbered. The farm is in the great mineral belt, and possibly the state may some day be interested directly in a southeast Missouri min- ing boom. The location is said to be quite healthy and easily reached by rail from two roads. State Senator Hohenscheild, who is the architect for the new asylum, said he would have the plans ready to submit about the first of the year.

The extensive scale upon which preparations for the Weltmer-Bishop trial are being made, indicate that it will be one of the greatest legal con- flicts in the history of Southwest Missouri. Depositions are to be taken at Kansas City during the latter part of this month, on the motion of the defendants. The newspaper men there will be called upon for informa- tion bearing upon their business re- lations with the Weltmer Institute. The trial at Butler, Dec. 4, will call into action some of the best known Missouri attorneys. M.T. January for the defense will be assisted by Judge Wm. Williams. late of the su- preme court, and Mr. Scarrett, of Kansas City. : Messrs. Scott & Bowker for the plaintiff, will be aided by Messrs. Clark & Francisco of Bates county. There will be voluminous rolls of depositions and a regiment of wit- nesses. Ep. Dooley & Ludwick are also employed by the plaintiff.

Chicago, Nov. 17.—John D. Spreckles of San Francisco, a member of the re- publican national committee, passed through here last night on his way east. Mr. Spreckles will attend the meeting of the republican national committee at Washington December 14. “IT am an anti-expansionist,”’ he said, “and as I came through the great,prairies of the west on this trip Icould not help but think of the great good that might have been done in our own country with the money we are now spending to main- tain the army in the Philippines. If that money had been spent in irriga- tion in the western countries, I be- lieve the United States would have reaped greater benefits from it than it ever will by the retention of the Philippines.” Mr. Spreckles said that he thought it was very probable that the na- tional committee would select Chica- go as the place for holding the next national convention. Mr. Spreckles is the son of Claus Spreckles, the sugar magnate, and is president of the Oceanic Steamship company and owner of theSan Fran cisco Call. A fierce struggle has suddenly de veloped among cities competing for the republican national convention. Philadelphia to-day engaged aceom- modations fora committée of 200 persons, who will be here December 14, to insist upon the national com- mittee selecting Philadelphia for the convention city. Kentucky republi- cans are clamoring for the conven- tion to be held at Louisville. They insist that it would certainly secure the electoral vote of Kentucky for McKinley and would aid to break the democratic south. San Franeiseco contends that the convention should be held there. It asks for either the convention or the second placeon the ticket. Cincinnati, Pi go, St. Louis, Kansas City and ver are accredited with i to entertain the convention, and the meeting of the committee in Decem- ber will bring out spirited competi- tion for the prize.
