Harrison' * Chance * for Ilenomlnntlon WASHINGTON , March 80. "It's ray judgment , " said Senator Paddock of Nebraska , the other day , "that Presi dent Harrison will bo rcnoxninatcd next year , and without formfilablo opposi tion. His administration has grown rapidly. He has "had frictions with in- diviuuals. No man ever occupied the position without having them. Ho has been unable to plcnso everybody , but none of his predecessors have. There arc members ofi his cabinet who have difficulties with individual members of the republican party , and these dis pleased gentlemen will fight in the con vention against rcnomination. This is but the repetition of history. I do not pledge myself this far In advance to -anybody as the standard bearer next .year , but I believe President Harrison , looking at the future from the present standpoint , will bo the nominee.1' Senator Hoar of Massachusetts said recently : ' -With the possible exception of Garfield and Lincoln , President Harrison risen is the best equipped chief execu tive we have had in a half century. I mean the otlicer , for it is not a question to speak of the man. " An Ohio congressman , who did not want his name mentioned , speaking of the personality of Presidents Garfield and Harrison , and drawing compari sons between the personal popularity of the two men , said : "Fewer persons have spoken ill of the present occupant of the white house than of any man I can remember during the first two years of his terra. That is the trying period. It is almost impossible to keep from offending men during the oHlce-seeking period , for one is driven from pillar to post every day in his efforts to not offend , and it seems the more one tries to please all the more liable he is to innocently dis please some. " Clever Counterfeiter. WASHINGTON , March 30. A sensa tion has been caused at the treasury department by the discovery of a counterfeit $2 silver certificate so near ly perfect as to bo almost impossible of detection. Paper with silk thread through it is for the first time almost perfectly imitated in the counterfeit just discovered. So far as is known now it has been used in counterfeiting the § 2 certificates of the series of 1SSG. It is estimated that there are now nearly $40,000.000 of these notes in circulation , and the problem before he treasury department is how to ffst 'them back in the treasury and suba i- tute a new series. This was the sub ject of a secret conference between Secretary Foster and the leading of ficials of the bureau of engraving and printing. It was practically decided to suspend the printing of the $2 silver - -ver certificates and institute a new se ries of the same denomination. These will contain a vignette of Secretary Windom and be issued as soon as the necessary plates can bo engraved. It will take about two months to prepare the plates , and in the meantime the government will exert its utmost endeavors - deavors to secure and destroy the plates and other paraphernalia used in the manufacture of counterfeits. Judicial Positions to Fill. WASHINGTON , March 30. No nresi- dent was probably ever given so many judicial appointments as President Harrison. Besides Associate Justice Brewster and likely the successor of Associate Justicss Field and Bradley , who may retire almost any time , and the nine circuit and district judges au thorized the other day by congress , the police court judge here and the land court judges , a vacancy has just been created in the court of claims. This court sits in Washington , the judges -are paid $4,500 for life and the posi tions are regarded as very desirable. Judge Glenni M. Schofield of the court of claims , who goes upon the retired list by virtue of his having reached the age limit , left the city tonight for his old home in the state of New York. A large number of well known men are .mentioned for the vacancy , among them ex-Representative McComas of Mary land , Cheadle and Owen of Indiana , Grosvenor of Ohio and Second Comp troller Gilkison of Pennsylvania. The Grip in Chicago. CHICAGO. March 30. The grip ap pears to be on the in crease in this city , being- favored by the extremely dis- asreeble weather prevailing : for some time past. The death roll for six days of last iveck ended Saturday nig-ht reached a total of 920 , and the figures for the week will be higher than ever known in the history of Chi- cago. Lust week the total was SOD , and that was looked upon as abnormally large. All branches of business are inconvenienced by the illness of employes , and the police and fire departments and street car lines have many men laid up. By far the larger number of deaths reported are due to pulmonary troubles , for the .most part resulting from the grip. Several physicians have died within a rfew days. This morning Dr. Charles T. Parker , a physician and surgeon videly known , and who for years has been connected with the medical colleges - leges and hospitals here , died of pneu monia , following an attack of grip. NI5WS NOTKN. Prince Louis , son of the dead Prince Victor , will not be banished from JFrance.

Nineteen lives were lost in the wreck of the steamship Strathairly off the North Carolina coast. i A great deal of distress is reported among the sheep , cattle and other live stock in Now Mexico. Ex-President Cleveland has written a letter on tariff , reform to the Indiana Tsirill Reform League. Minister Guzman says there are some features of the Sherman canal bill which Nicaragua cannot accept. Prince Bismarck refuses to give up the Kaiser's indiscreet letters written during Emperor Frederick's illness. The failure of the Cypress number Company of Sherril , Ark. , has caused much destitution among the employes. The World's Fair committee on cer- monies has prepared a plan for the dedicatory exercises in October , 1892. The Chicago city council has abolished ished the custom of allowing the treas urer to retain 'interest on municipal funds. John A. Mackay , the popular com edian , died in Cincinnati of pneu monia. One hundred thousand dollars in gold coin was ordered at the sub- treasury on the 2Gth fort shipment to Cuba. A meeting of Italians in Troy , N. Y. , was broken up by a mob that bombard ed the building with stones and fired pistols. Mrs. Charles Smithis in jail at Chil- licothe charged with helping her second end husband kill her son by her first husband. The treasury department is daily paying out large amounts on account of the direct tax and the French spoliation claims. President Harrison will soon issue the annual proclamation warning all persons from killing seals in the Unit ed States dominion in Behring sea. The annual report of the Gibier- Pasteur institute in New York shows that 828 persons were treated for dog and cat bites. Not one patient died. The Grant Monument committee will ask the New York legislature for § 500- 000 of the direct tax fund recently paid back by the Federal government. CARTER HARRISON'S adherents in Chicago held a mass meeting and re quested Senator-elect Palmer not to come to Chicago to meddle with local democratic politics. South Dakota's law requiring com mercial agencies to deposit § 50,000 with the state as a guarantee that judgments against them be paid has been declared constitutional. Grip , pneumonia , and the vernal equinox , jointly , did deadly work in Chicago last week. The death rate per thousand was 34.84 , almost un precedented in the history of the city. The house where General Sherman died is to pass out of the Sherman fam ily. P. T. Sherman , the veteran's youngest son , has been invested with full authority by the heirs to dispose of the house. Captain Cotton , special commission er to Honduras in the interest of the world's fair , reports that he was re ceived with the utmost cordiality by President Bogram , who assured him that the public would be fully repre sented in Chicago. Resolutions were passed at a meet ing of the New York Grant Monument association asking the legislature to appropriate § 50,000 of the state di rect tax recently refunded by the United States for the purpose of erect ing a monument to General Grant at Riverside Park. Secretary Blaine said that ex-Senator Blair would go to China as United States minister. The secretary de clined to say what instructions , or if any at all , had been given to Mr. Blair , but simply repeated his state ment that Mr. Blair would go to China , Governor Peck of Wisconsin sent a message to the legislature vetoing the bill which appropriates § 50,000 for the support of the Waupaca veterans' home , on the ground that the bill does not properly guard the state in the disbursement of the appropriation. The scretary of the interior has ren dered a decision in the appealed land case of Winfield F. Mendehall against Charles S.

Don't Want the Alliance. BOSTON , Mass. , March 27. The Herald has dispatches from 'sovera' points in New England voicing the sentiment of the farmers on the pro posed alliance movement in the east ern states. A dispatch from Pittsfield says : "It is the sentiment of thelead- ing Berkshire county farmers that the New England tour of the alliance load ers , Kyle and Simpson , will bo a prac tical failure. " Henry A. Barton , jr. , of Dalton , ox- master of the state grange , said to the Herald reporter : "I do not believe that the state grange is at all in sympathy with the movement , l am of the opin ion that grangers generally , and I am acquainted with , leading members all over the state , are not in favor of the alliance. I do not believe it will be successful in New England. " Henry Noble of Pittsfield , ex-mem ber of the state board of agriculture , who has been a leading farmer of Berk shire for nearly halfa century , said : " 1 do not see how New England farm ers can afford to go into this thing'f rom a political point jf view or any other. " Charles A. Mills of Williamstown , a member of the present state board of agriculture , says : "I am not in favor of the farmers' alliance in New Eng land. Any movement to make the farmers more en masse is , in m } * opin ion , unpatriotic. All classes and pro fessions should work together. I do not believe in organizing in classes in this country. " George Z. Dean of Cheshire , presi dent of the Berkshire Agricultural society , says : "I have taken much in terest in this subject and I do net see how the alliance can be of any benefit to New England. " The leading farmers in southern Berkshire express doubt about the suc cess of the alliance in New England. A dispatch in South Farmingham , in Middlesex county , says : Through out this section of the state there has been developed amonsr the farmers but little interest in the tour of the leaders of the farmers' alliance movement. One of the best informed members of the Patrons of Husbandry in this sec tion and one who occupies positions of prominence in the councils of the state and national grange , says he regarded the alliance movement west as a rope of sand with not sufficient adhesive ness to hold together for a great length of time. The alliance movement will never be a success in New England , he said , where the farmers feel well sat isfied with what they are accomplish ing in and through the Patrons of Hus bandry. _ vv Ravajrcs of the "Grip. " CHICAGO , March 27. The "grip" epidemic is unabated in this city and the mortality continues appalling. Up to midnight the deaths for two weeks aggregated 1,540. or thirty-five per thousand , which is unprecedented in the history of Chicago. Nearly all died from climatic complaints. Drugstores store-s have been compelled to increase their forces of clerks. Undertakers are crowded with work , and many fu nerals are taking place as early as 7 a. m. and as late as twilight. The hos pital of the Alexian brothers , the Ger man brothers , the Augustana hospital , St. Joseph's hospital and the Presby terian hospital , which usually take only accidents or paid patients have opened their doors to the victims of the "grip" and are crowded. Eight physicians of the German hos pital were taken down yesterday. Sev en-two nurses 01 the Illinois training school for nurses , who have been min istering to the sick , have succumbed since Saturday and some are in a crit ical condition. At the women's and children's hospital , out of a staff of forty physicians , nurses and attend ants , all but five are unfit for duty. The physicians are in hopes that the disease will wear itself out. but all say that until there is a change in the weather no great improvement can be expected. The World's Fair. WASHINGTON. March 27. The Spanish government has notified the department of state that it will partic ipate in the world's Columbian expo sition at Chicago. Minister Lincoln also cabled a brief announcement that the government of Great Britain had accepted the invitation to make a dis play at the fair. It is a curious fact that the first action taken by any foreign nation in connection with the celebration of the four hundredth anniversary of the dis covery of America should be by the republic of San Domingo , on which was located the first settlement of Spaniards in the new world. Captain Nathan Appleton , a well known citi zen of Boston , engaged in the construc tion of a railroad in San Domingo , has been requested to take charge of the large exhibit of that republic. Lieutenant Wells , U. S. N. . com missioner to Venezuela , reports that the president received him very cor dially and announced that Venezuela would accept the invitation to partici pate. Inspection of iriont . WASHINGTON , March 27. The sec retary of agriculture has prescribed elaborate sets of rules and regulations ' ' - for the inspection of live cattle and hogs and carcasses under the law of August last. Proprietors of establish ments engaged in slaughtering' and packing animals tho' carcasses or'pro ducts of which'arc td'become thosub- ject of interstate or-foreign commerce will make application in writing to the secretary for inspection , giving de tailed information in regard to their product , etc. The secretary will give each establishment an otlicial number , by which all its inspected products will thereafter be known. Ho will ap point an inspector to take charge of the work of each establishment so numbered. This inspector will exam ine all animals before slaughtering and at the time of slaughter and shall con demn any found to bo diseased and unfit for food. The carcasses of cattle will be stamped with a numbered stamp and a record sent to the department at Washington. Each and every article of food products made from the in spected carcasses will be labeled or marked in such a manner as the owner of the establishment may direct. In the case of swine , in addition to the above rules a microscopic examination for trichina ) will be required for all products. The inspector will issue a certificate for all carcasses or products to be exported into foreign countries. Father Nugent CHEYENNE , Wyo. , March 27. Con siderable excitement was caused among the Catholic population hero to-day over the resignation of Rev. F. J. Nugent , who has been parish priest here for seven years. The resignation is caused by differences existing be tween Bishop Burke of this diocese and Father Nugent. Bishop Burke , during his recent visit to Koine , made a strong effort to be appointed bishop of Omaha and to reunite the bishopric of Chey enne with that of Omaha. Among the many who opposed this was Father Nugent. Bishop Burke was unsuccess ful and since his return lias made it extremely Unpleasant for those who worked for the maintenance of Wyom ing as an independent diocese. The unpleasantness terminated to-day in Father Nugent's resignation. ftov. Nichols on the 3Iafla Lynching. WASHINGTON , March 25. The an swer of Governor Nichols of Louisiana to Secretary Blaine's telegram of March 15 , in reference to the New Orleans affair , has been received " 03' the secre tary and was given by him to the press today. The full text of the letter is as follows : EXECUTIVE Dr.rAiniENT , STATE OP LOUISIANA , BATON ROUGE , La. , March 21 [ Hon. James G. Blaine , Secreta- of State , Washington. ] Sir : At a late hour on the loth inst. I received a dispatch from you having reference to the forcible breaking on the 14th of this month of the jail in this city , and the killing of eleven people confined therein , under indictments found in the criminal district court for the par ish of Orleans. You stated to me that it had been represented to the presi dent by the minister of Italy , accred ited to the government of the United States , that among the killed on that occasion were three or four subjects of the king of Italy. The telegram dis closed an apprehension on the part of the minister , evidently shared in by the president , that the disturbance was a continuous and swelling disturbance , which might involve the Italian sub jects in .New Orleans. I have reason to believe that the hope expressed by the president that I would co-operate with him in maintaining the obligations of the United States towards Italian sub jects , who might be within the perils of the excitement , and that further violence and bloodshed might be pre vented , was based upon that belief. The president ] further expressed the hope that all offenders might promptly be brought to justice. On the ICth I telegraphed you that there was no ex citement in the city at that time and I saw no reason to anticipate further trouble. I also stated that the action taken was directed against particular men and that the race or nationality of the parties did not enter as a factor into the disturbance. A week has passed since the date of my dispatch and the opinion then entertained as to the termination of the trouble has proved to have been well founded. The men killed , as I have stated , were confined in prison under indictments found in the criminal district court for the parish of Orleans ; the sheriff has made his return of the facts to that court ; the judge thereof has charged the grand jury , now in session , in re gard to the matter , and the whole sub ject is , I assume , now under investiga tion by that body. I am satisfied that most of the persons killed were Amer ican citizens. But it is probable that two or three were Italian subjects. I have the honor to be , very respect fully , FKANCIS T. NICHOLS. Secretary Blaine sent to Baron Fava , the Italian minister , a copy of the let- : er. The next move must be made by Saron Fava , as the United States is powerless to do anything in the matter while the action of the avengers is be ing investigated by the New Orleans grand jury. Delayed action or failure o hold any parties responsible for the tilling may decide Baron Fava to take active means to bring about some set tlement satisfactory to the Italian gov- 3rnment He will probably receive idvices by cable in a day or two from Rome as to what course he shall mil-sue. Kincaid Pleads Not Guilt- . WASHINGTON , March 25. In the criminal court here Charles E. Kin- caid pleaded -not guilty. ' to the indict ment for the murder of ex-Congress man Tauibee of Kentucky. The work of selecting a jury was then proceeded with and thirteen eligible persons were chosen and the court took an hour's recess. _ ftf What is - Castoria is Dr. Samuel Pitcher's prescription for Infanta and Children.
