Charge of Bigamy Brought Against a Mich- igan State Senator. Cmrcaao, March 12.—A special dispatch from Lansing, Mich., says that the senate was the scone of turbulence yesterday when the presi- dent declared adopted a resolution that the committee on the contested Friedlander clec- tion case be relieved from itsfurther considera- tion. Friedlander is the democratic senator who is charged with bigamy in having married an Indian woraan and then deserting her for another. During the session Friedlander retired to lieutenant governor's room to escape ar- rest on the charge of bigamy. It is said that he practically admits the trath of the charge, and that last night he offered the attorneys of wife No. 1 $1,000 if immunity from criminal prosecution be granted him. This the attorneys Tefused to accede to. ‘The democrats feel assured thatif Friedlander is once arrested and taken to Petoskey to an- swer the charge against him the republicans Will unseat him and give his seat to Morse. Therefore they are prepared to serve a writ of habeas corpuszas soon as the arrest is made,and if, this plan fails the democratic senators pro- pose to slip away to Canada and thus leave the senate one vote short of a quorum until Fried- der obtains bail and can return to Lansing. deca Nearest TO MOSCOW ON STILTS.

ILL AND CLEVELAND ARE VERY LIKELY To KILL EACH OTHER OFF AND THEN THE NOMINATION WOULD Go TO A WESTERN MAX—PALMER'S QUALIFICATIONS. The election of Mr. Palmer to the United States Senate may, under certain circumstances, make hima candidate before the next demo- cratic convention. But for his age his boom would probably start now in the process of ex- pansion, and would certainly assume large pro- portions before the time for the meeting of the convention. His old age will be cited asan argument against his candidacy and will proba- bly prevent his making a hard fight for the nomination, but it is regarded by politicians as not improbable that the situation in 1892 will be such as to make him the most avail- able man whose nante will be “before the convention. The best informed politicians at the capital believe that there is » possibility that, while Gov. Hill cannot get the nomina- tion in 1892 himself, he m: vide the party in New York as to make the nom- ination of Mr. Cleveland not advisable. Not- withstanding the vindication Mr. Watterson gives Mr. Hill in his letter, declaring that Hill was true to the at the last democratic presidential election, there is a belief that the governor is not too animous to try to re- venge himself for adefeat at the nomination convention in 1892 by secretly working for the defeat of Cleveland if nominated. The friends of Mr. Hill are undoubtedly now doing all in their power to excite antagonism to Mr. Cleveland, anditis, of course, possible that this feeling may be worked up to such a pitch in certain quarters as to make it practically certain that there would be treachery at the in New York and so maké the ‘nomina- n of Mr. Cleveland impracticable, though he Gould get it for a certainty if he determined to have it at any cost. Just at present Mr. Cleveland's ‘silver letter is regarded as apt to injure him in the west and south, and this causes other candidates to have hopes such as they never dared to indulge before, but the chances are that before 1892 the ory for free silver will have lost its sonorous vibration, and the fact of a man’s not believ- ing in fist money will not be an argument against his avaiJability as a candidate. WHY CLEVELAND MAY FAIL. So that if Mr. Cleveland fails to get the nomination it will probably be, not because of his views on silver, but because the situation in New York state will be such as to make him in- di to run. In that event there is no doubt that the Cleveland folks would name the candidate. and he would probably be a western man. With New York rendered peculiarly doubtful to the democracy by reason of fac- ional differences, it would be particularly desj able. that the nominee should be strong in Illinois, for that is a state the democrats ‘might carry with the proper man and the right iteues brought to the front. If Mr. Cleveland should be laid aside or should be led to retire it would be a serious thing for the democrats if they could not make it appear that this did not result from his being op} to the free coinage of silver. If it shor 80 appear the silver question would at once be- the be lost come the issue an sight of. PALMER MAY BE NOMIXATED. This situation might develop and make Mr. Palmer's nomination probable, in spite of his age. He is seventy-three years old, but is vigorous, and the way he has held on in this fight for'the senatorship shows that he hasa cool heud and fine staying qualities. He has an unusually military record, is liked by the farmers, though he is solid on finance, and ‘his popularity in the state of Illinois has ‘becn strongly attested. Democrats say that he could certainly carry that state. The fact that he was acceptable enongh to the Farmers’ Alliance members of the legislature for them to vote for him indicates that he possesses a drawing power in a direction where the democrats gen- eral; think it is needed. If he should develo} into a ‘candidate for the presidency it ‘would 's influence at his Probably be with Clevelan ack and because Cleveland decides not to be a candidate. If Cleveland goes before the con- vention it is powsible that Palmer may figure gotmpicuonsly at the tail of the tickey, as Mr. Thurman did. - REMINISCENCES OF AN ILLINOIS Ax. “Gen. John W.

POLK SAYS. He Knows of No Pledges Made by Gen. Pal- mer to the Alliance Men. President Polk of the National Alliance de- clined this morning to express his views on the election jn Illinois of Gen. Palmer to the Senate, and the _position of the three alliance men = in the recent contest in Illinois further than to rar that it appeared to him to have been « fignt between the republican and democratic parties rather than « contest betwoen those fwo parties and the alliance. The alliance, he thought, had fought manfully for prin- ciples, and though they had not been victori- ous in sending a Farmers’ Alliance man to the senate, he believed that Gen. Palmer's election would generally be regarded with more favor than that of any of the other candidates, fGen. Polk said furthcr that he knew of no promises being made by Gen. Palmer as to his policy in the Senate on any questions what- ever. : THE LIQUOR SELLERS.
