CASS IN DEVELOPING THE NORTHWEST—IMPORTANCE OF THE ACQUI- SITIONS IN THAT DIR&CTION ON THE GROWTH AND PROSPERITY OF THE COUNTRY. -The savage countenances of Catlins’ painted Indians, ranged around the lecture-room of the national museum, gazed this morning with aboriginal stoiciem down on about one hundred enthusiasts in history while Prof. A. C. Mc- Laughlin, of the University of Michigan, told how Gov. Cass, in the early years of the terri- torial government of Michigan, had subdued the warlike red man and punished the copper- colored law-breaker. In the central, high-backed chair, with a huge blackboard for a background, sat Prof. Wm. F. Poole, librarian of the Newberry library, Chicago, the president of the Ameri- can historical association, and the audience which he faced was composed about equally of members of the association and of those who would probably like to be members. Ata table on the lower platform was seated Secre- tary Herbert B. Adams, associate professor of history at Johns Hopkins university. THE INFLUENCE OF GOV. Cass. Prof. McLaughlin's paper was entitled “The Influence of Gov. Cass upon the Development of the Northwest,” and its reading was listened to with marked attention. Especially interest- were those portions of the address where reference was made to the masterly diplomac of Gov. Cass in his dealings with the British authorities, then endeavoring to extend the in- fluence of England in the great northwest. The intrepidity of the governor was discussed at length and illustrated by a few strong in- stances, the results of which were seen in the ater safety of life and property under the tter portion of his administration. Prof. McLaughlin, in concluding his paper, said that Michigan had at last recognized in Lewis Cass one of the men to whom she owed much, and LAse-wonzy 79) Waa ESE 7g Suir.

President Adams, of Cornell university, said that some of the history treated by Prof. Mc- Laughlin would not be weakened bya little ex- planation and reassertion. Very briefly he stated the points he desired to make more clear and then he os way to Mr. Frederick J. Turner, of Johns Hopkins university, who read the paper of Prof. T. Allen, of the Univer- sity of Wisconsin, on “THE PLACE OF THE NORTHWEST IN GENERAL HISTORY.” ‘The paper called attention to the fact that this year was the three hundredth anniversary of the settlement of this country, for in 1588 (the armada year) Spain had a strong hold on North America, and twenty years later both France and England had permanent colonies here. The rapid and unexpected changes in national supremacy in Europe were shown to have had their effect in this country, and Prof. Allen traced clearly the parallels of power on both sides of the Atlantic. THE SECRET OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION was alleged to be found in the fact that, freed from fear of the French power on their bor- ders, the colonies were able to assert their rights and to give a fuller development to the treasures of English libe » English institu- tions and English civilization bequeathed them by the mother country. Four points of espe- cial importance were emphasized by the profes- sor. The first one was that the title to the northwest beionged to three at nations— in, France and England—which, in the 16th, Jith and 18th centuries, respectively, possessed the acknowledged leadership among the European states. ENGLAND'S LEADERSHIP IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY, Secondly, the leadership acquired by En- gland in the eighteenth century was integrally associated with the building up of the British empire, and the decisive fact in the formation of this empire was the acquisition from France of that enormous territory of which the north- west is the center—the keystone of the arch, Third, the imperial destiny of the United States hung upon the possession of the north- west; but for the military success of Clark and the diplomatic skill of our commissioners in negotiating the treaty of peace, in securing just this territory, our in would have been contracted, our national aspirations would have had no scope, and it is not likely that there would have been the courage to make the pur- chase of Louisiana and the subsequent acqui- sitions. Fourth, the development of our na- tional policy was closely connected with, and, in fact, first took shape in the ordinance which organized this territory. Our territorial sys- tem, our policy of creating new states, our na- tional guarantee of personal freedom, uni- versal education and religious liberty found their first expression in the great act which provided for the government of the north- west.” _an22 ‘ONEY TO LOAN In sums to suit, at = security. ont O [O LOAN MO™ Ss 2owest nares or rvrenesr ON REAL ESTATES SECUIATS: x THUS.

HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE WEST, “The history of higher education in the Northwest,” was the title of the next paper. which was by Prof. Geo. W. Knight, of the Ohio state university. After the professor had complimented Commissioner of Education Dawson and Secretary H. B. Adams on their labors in behalf of higher education, he went on to discuss his subject in an exhaustive man- ner. The first congressional aid given to higher education was bestowed upon the old northwest territory, and that part of the coun- iat f shows in its educational growth the benefit of the treatment accorded it. Stress was laid upon the fact that Ohio bas buried more coile; than any other state has ever founded and still holds the premier position. The methods and theories upon which the col- leges and universities of the northwest terri- tory were organized were treated of at consid- erable length, and especial attention was given to the peated of the state university, and its connection with the educational g; state. Statistics were introduced to show the number of colleges and universities in the five states of the territory, and Ohio's supremcy was declared with Illinois, Indians, Michigan and Wisconsin following in the order to which they were entitled. The professor argued that it was not the original intention of Congress to found state universities, for the first grant was made in 1787 to a private institution which was expected thereafter to work out its own exist- ence, Pracroar Canisraas Presents, Nothing is more acceptable to © man or boy fora Christmas present than a. ood Suit of Clothes or an Overcoat, auld nowhere can you Aud as well made Cloth: ing, at as low prices, as at OAK HALL, Corner Tenth and F streets, a(t SPLENDID STORM COAT for 86, reduced from CHINCHILLA STORM COAT at $8, reduced from BETTER CHINCHILLA STORM COAT for $10, rom, RCOATS. tem of the ‘Our line of OVERCOATS for boys of all sizes is very Jarge, and prices just one-third Below those of other “The prices on all our Suits have been cut down below coat of manufacture,and nothing like our bargains can befound anywhere, We have them from #G- suit up. ntion is called to our Broadcloth Suits. ted, Frock and Full Dress.

Clark, charged with attempting to kill Thomas Jarboe, on the Ridge road, Thanke- giving night, as published in Tae Sram at the time, was called for trial in the Police Court to-day, and Mr. E. H. Thomas, for the defend- ant, pleaded not guilty. Mr. Thomas asked that the court hear all the eye-witnesses to the shooting. He was sure that there was no intent to kill, and thought the court would find that no offense had been committed. TESTIMONY OF JARBOE. Jarboe testified that on Thanksgiving day he borrowed Mr. Clark's horse and buggy and came to the city. He drank considerable dur- ma! the day and when he started home a friend told him that he (Jarboe) was too drank to drive. His friend drove uuti] within a quarter of a mile of the house and witness then drove = alone, Witness lived in Clark's house and had been on friendly terms with him for nearly two years. He got the horse and buggy about 10 o'clock in the morning and told Clark that he would ——- be home in an hour. Witness took his first drink in a saloon on Pennsylvania avenue and then went to a barber shop. Witness got home about 4 o'clock, He remembered going in the chicken house because the housekeeper would not let him in the house. He did not remember striki the housekeeper, Mrs. Wells, but did remem! that she struck him. He did not remember exactly what happened. but did remember that Clark shot him three times, “one in the leg, one in the side, and one on the top of the head.” The last two were only slight wounds, STORY OF AN EYE-WITNESS, Chas. Reeves, colored, testified that Thanks- giving afternoon Mr. Clark sent for him and told him that Jarboe was drunk and had as- saulted Mrs. Wells and himself. Witness tried to get Jarboe to go to bed. but did not succeed, and then witness tried to get him off the prem- ises. Jarboe went back to the house and made arush for Mr. Clark, and the latter hit him. Jarboe then went toward Mrs. Wells, as wit- ness thought, to apologize. but instead of doing so he assaulted the woman. He then re- newed the assault on Mr. Clark and got an axe. He threatened to kill both Mrs. Wells and Mr. Clark, Witness frightened and went awa! As he walked off he heard Jarboe break in the door. Two hours later he heard three shots fired, but did not return to the house until the next morning. WISHED CLARK HAD KILLED HIM. Mrs. Fanny Cloe, colored, testified that she saw Jarboe sitting in the chicken-house. He was intoxicated. Mr. Clark wanted her to ask him in the house, but she did not care to do so.

Billy Young has a Prize-Ring Picnic with Charlie Gainy this Morning. The fight between Billy Young, the light- weight champion of the District, and Charlie Gainy, a middle-weight from New York, took place this morning on a farm in Maryland about 4 miles from the city, and resulted in the defeat of the latter in two rounds. The fight was to a finish, Marquis of Queensberry rules, the winner to take seventy-five per cent of the | gate receiptsand the loser twenty-five. The scene of the fight was in a clearing in the midst of a grove of chestnuts. At least 150 of the sporting element and a sprinkling of farmers witneased the battle. In the absence of “regular” gloves the audience contributed two pairs of “kids” which were cut off at the fingers and used. A NARROW ESCAPE FROM THE POLICE. About 9 o’clock carriages of all sizes, and weighted down with Washington's sporting fraternity, started for the scene of the battle. A Star reporter occupied a seat in a wagon with one of the principals, The trip was un- eventful until the little saloon near the Dis- trict line was reached, when two mounted policemen came into sight. Drawing near in front of the wagon they peered curiously in, but seeing no evidence of anything wrong, and having received the assurance from one of the party that they were farmers, the party was allowed to —— the grounds it was found that Gainy had not shown up, and it was feared there would be no fight. The sports who had congregated paced restlessly up and down over the muddy und, finding consolation every now and | yr queer shaped battles with which each one was pro- vided. A shout of “Here he comes” turned every eye in the direction of the road. Gainy was at hand, and the fight was assured.

Mistne's SOME THINK IT Too sTRONG TO BE RESTETED— ALLEGED SBORET HISTORY IN REGARD To THR NOMINATION OF HARRISON AND WHO WERE EIS FRIENDS—SENATOR SPOONER'S VISIT. The movement on behalf of Mr. Blaine for Secretary of State in Gen. Harrison's cabinet is being pushed with remarkable vigor, and some of the specials from Indianapolis last night think that the President-elect has re- solved to yield tothe pressure, and tender the position to the man from Maine. The New York Tribune and Times correspondents agree in, this respect, the former saying: “A repre- sentative forecast made by one of the most con- spteuous and most active of Indiana politicians, makes the drift of ideas here, though it cannot in any sense be said to be inspired by Gen. Har- | Tison or to shadow his actual intentions. This prediction covers only four places in the cabi- net—the Departments of State, War and the Interior and the Postmaster-Geperalship. The Politician who made it assigns to these depart ments respectively Mr. Blaine, Gen. Alger, Jno. 8. Swift, of California, and Jno. Wane maker, of Philadelphia.” DON'T WANT BLAINE, BUT WILL TAKE BTM. The Times man gives the result of a conver- sation with two republicans said to be upom close relations with Gen, Harrison, and both of whom were opposed to Blaine, yet reluct- antly admit that he will probably be the next Secretary of State. y “I know that Gen. Harrison doesn’t want him.” said one of them, the other assenting, “but what can he do? Blaine has at leastthree- fourths of the working politicians of the party behind him. If he is left outof the cabinet he and his friends will work mischief,and Gen. Har- Tison cunnot afford to begin his administration with a large disaffected faction in the _— wd | “Will Sherman be offended if he is left out?” “His anger is not so potent as Blaine’s. He has not so great power for mischief, nor has he the disposition, He is now one of the foremost men in the Senate, and will hold that rank all h Gen. Harrison's administration. Blaine has no office. This fact, by the way, has been forcibly brought to Gen. Harrison's ‘attention. He has been told verbally and by letter by a score of republican politicians that to leave such a man as Blaine with absoiytely nothing to do when he confessedly desired to enter the service of the nation would be a slight not to be overlooked or forgiven—that Blaine must resent such a slight Gen. Harrison has been re- | minded. too—and it is impossible to deny it— that Blaine’s supporters in the Chicago con- vention gave the nomination to him when they might easily have defeated him.” WARNER MILLERS CHANCES, After stating the ground of Gen. Harrison's objection to Blaine to be that the general de- sires to be president himself and not be over- shadowed by any member of his cabinet, the same names as are given in the Tribune cor- a are mentioned as good cabinet probabilities. The interview then continues: “Has Mr. Miller a chance?” “A good chance. Gen, Harrison likes him and has confidence in hi Look out for this | settlement of the contest in New York: Warner Miller in the cabinet and Thomas ©. Platt col- lector of the port of New York, with the sure of the support of the administration for | the successorship to Senator Evarts, whose | term ends March 1, 1891. This has been pro- | posed to Platt, and he will take it; for, as the | great regret of his life is that he followed | Conkling in 1881 and threw away his just-at- | tained senatorship, so it is his great ambition to be a Senator once more.” “Will Mr. Miller be Secretary of the Treas- ury? “Not if Senator Allison will take it. General Harrison prefers Allison above all men for the head of the Treasury De; ut, but Mr. Alli- son is loath to leave the Senate, where he has a dignified and influential place for life. General cree expects that oe Congress fails to so the next Congress create the Depart- ment of Agriculture, and he would like to make Mr, Miller its head. Speaking of Mr. Miller, do you know that he has had no one here senting his claims to General Harrison? He has not pestered General Harrison as Platt has.” On the other hand some think that the suce for Blaine and Platt bas been ov and they also think that all the efforts now being made are in accordance with an agree- ment between Blaine’s admirers to force him upon Harrison whether the t-elect wants him or not, The New York Herald a SS republican as fi subject: quotes upon this and his friends are now working Nea deo seni ea one . on the inside can appreciate what a great pressure is brought to bear on Harrison in his favor. evel py omega are almost a unit Blaine, LT have reason to believe Harrison is not inclined to take him cabinet.
