WASHINGTON. D. C , March S. I
The friends of Genera ] Lexvis Wallace to
day presented his name to the president and
the secretary of state Tor appointment a ?
Minister to Mexico. It his been understood
that General Wallace would prefer u Euro
pean mission and he ha * been aliened to
cither ConstantinopleorMadrid by the newspapers -
{ papers , but it appears that he prefers to cote
to the halls of Montezuma. General Wallace
made his first reputation ns a novelist by the
publication of "The Pair God , " a story of
which Monteruma , the last of the Aztec
liings. was the hero.
William Walter Phelps is without doubt
Mild for the German million , and Is already

VANTa TO HE SOLK ITOIl OENnilAI.
Thii Michigan delegation to-day presented
the name of Henry M. Duffi ld , of Detroit ,
lor solicitor general , and they are very con
fident of his appointment. Colonel Duffleld
. , nas n military record and an eminent stand-
I TV ing at the bar , and was the manager of Gcn-
I k cral Algcr's canvass at the Chicago conven-
I AJ lion It is known that President Harrison
desires to rccocmzc Alrer in some way by
the appointment of one of his intimate
friends , and Duffield's name nas suggested
on that account. President Harrison told
the Michigan people that be Knew Colonel
Duffield , and thought very well of him , but
that there could be no change in the oBlce of
solicitor general until after the disposition of
certain cuses in tin- United States supreme
court. He promises , however , to take the
matter under consideration nnfl ashed the
Michigan senators to cull again in a few
weeks It is supposed thut Senator Sher
man will oppose the confirmation of Duflield ,
in case be is nominated , for the same reason
that he objected to Algcr's appointment .in
the cabinet , for Duflleld was the active man
ager for the Michigan candidate at the Chicago
cage convention , and is charged with having
distributed his campaign funds. It wus with
Duflleld that Sherman hud some tpicy cor
respondence shortly after thi convention.

Representative Hitt , of Illinois , is not a
candidate for the French mission , and his
friends"saj that ho could not uccept the ap
pointment because of certain business inter
ests that require his attention in this coun
try Mr llitt himself says that he knows
nothing more about his .selection for this po
bition than ho has seen in tnc newspapers ,
and while he is very much gratified at the
expressions of public confidence , he does not
think there is an atom of foundation for any
of the talk.
pinuc-E's POSITION.
Ex-Governor Pierce , of Dakota , is here
and is stopping with hisfricnd , Tom Lowrey ,
of MinucutK > Hs. There have been contra
dictory rumors as to Pierce's position with
reference to the governorship of Dakota ,
_ . some of his friends contending that h1 was a
If candidate Tor ru-appointmcnt , and suinc insisting -
* ' sisting that he was not. Pierce says he does
not know which statement is right. He ad
mits that he is a candidate for United States
senator when North Dakota is admitted as a
state , but does not know whether he wants
to be governor or not. Some of his friends
have been urging him for the office and
insist that he shall seek the appointment ,
but while ho wants to gratify them he is
determined not to enter into a fight -with
Governor Melette or any other can hdate , or
do anything else to destroy the republican
harmony that now exists in the territory.
There will bo a consultation between the
representatives of Nurth and South Dakota ,
at wtiich the situation will be fully discussed ,
and then Pierce will determine whether to
bo a candidate or not.

Most of the mere sight-seers have pone

now are here for husincss. They want the
offices , and if being persistent and always
prcsuiit counts for anything , thev mean to
have them. They uro hero from California ,
Irora Texas , from Louisiana , from Florida ,
from Maine , from Oregon , and from all the
intervening suctions of the country. Nearly

the offices. Every repuoliean member of

of Mr. Waao , of Missouri , and change their

On Wednesday morning the cons.ituents of
Mr. Wade began to ring his front door bell
at a quarter of 6 in the mornmg. When ho

His breakfast hour , his lunch hour , and the

ncrLUBN IN-DOUSED.
Senators Allison und Wilson called at the
treasury department and white house yester
day to ask for tbo appointment of ox-Con
pressman Hepburn , of Iowa , as assistan
wxsretary of the , treasury , the delegation
tram ttml state having decided to conoenr
tratc their efforts In hu betUlf. The presi-
Cfcct told them that .tbo matter Wi > uld bo
AC _
largely left to Mr. Windom. who must select
Ins own assistants , and Mr Windom na'd he
would be glad to lane the name of Hepburn
under consideration. There is a very strong
probability that Mr. George L. Tichenor
will be appointed one of the assistant secre
taries. Mr. Tichenor ha been a special
agent of the treasury employed in the cus
tom house for many yearn , and U
considered to IMS the most competent
man In that branch of the service.
He is also a good executive officer His
health has not been peed for the last few
mouths , but ho is improving He is an Iowa
man and was formerly chairman of the re
publican central committee of that state. Ke
Is not indorsed by any of tbc Iowa raen and
has no * applied for the appointment ns assist
ant secrptarv. bat his name suggests itself
because of his well known familiarity with
the customs laws nnd the confidence and re-
l > oct he commands both among the importers
and the government officials. During the
preparation of tie senate tariff bill Mr.
Tichenor was the ncht hand man of Sena
tors Allison and Aldrich. Mr. Coon's pros-
pert * are also said to t > c good , for his famil
iarity with the department makes him a very
valuable man.

elect from South DaKota. will leave for

be secretary of the treasury.

COMMON C.YKUIEU3 [ C.VUTIONKD.
Their Attention Called to the Com
merce IJBAV Ainendinenti.
WASHIVCTOV , March S. The inter-state
commerce commission to-day issued alenchy
circular , calling the attention of common ,
carriers to the provisions of recent amend
ments to the inter-state commerce act , and
urging that especial care be taken to avoid
violations thereof. Among the declarations
of the amended portions is one to the effect
that no advance shall bo made in joint rates ,
fares or charges except after ten days' notice
to the commission , and no reduction shall be
made except after trree days' notici The
tinii in each case is to be catnputnd from the
day on which the notice of change reaches
the office of the commission in Washington.
The transportation of passengers or freight
over continuous lines or routes op3rated by
more than ono carrier upon through tickets
or through billing , naoessanly implies ths ex
istence of joint tariffs. In the future all ad
vances and reductions in joint tariffs will be
given the same publicity as required in the
case of individual cainers.
Another amendment makes it now en in
dictable offense for any carrier to partici
pate in the reception of compensation , cither
above or below the established rates , for the
transportation of any Joint trade whatso
ever.
The commission is requ'red to execute and
enforce the provisions of the act , and it is
made the duty of any district attorney of the
United States , upon re < iuest of the commis
sion , to institute and prosecute all necessary
proceedings for that purpose. These rules
apply equally to joint and individual tariffs.
Hegarding t-xnort traffic , the commission un
derstands that the rtirough rate is determined
by the addition of the ocean rate , prorating
from the point of export ; therefore the
inland rate to such point of export is subject
to the foregoing regulations.

The exact number affected is not known , but
it is understood thut the reduction is con

is also u fooling that other employes of the

JOHN EUICsSO.N DEAD.
The Famous Inventor of the Monitor
Passes A\vny.
NEW YOHK , March S. Captain John Eric
sson , the famous Swedish engineer who designed -
signed tbe ironclad Mqmtor , died this morn
ing shortly after midnight. He had been ill
only a week , and owing to his advanced age
failed to rally. The deceased was born July
31 , 1SC8.
( John Ericsson , LL. D. , v . , - , born in Ver-
meland , a province of Swot July 81 , 1SJ3.
Showing decided mechanical ingenuity in
childbood , he was appointed at the age of
eleven to a caoetship in the engineering
corps in which he arose to a lieutenancy. In
ls2J he visited England to introduce "a
flame engine" of his own mventionbut it was
discovered that though it worked with a
wood fire , it failed when coal was used. He
made improvements in steam boilers , aud in
ISiO produced a locomotive , the "Novelty'1
which ran fifty miles an hour. This
was a great advance in speed over
anything then attained , aim the in
ventor won a prize of iMD. In Istfi he
built a steam fire engine and in l i'J a hot air
engine. He invented in three j ears forty
different mechanical contrivances , two-
thirds of which were patented. lnlS3'iho
came to America , and in 1MI began to build
the Princeton , tbo first naval Vessel that
ever carried her first machinery under the
water line , out of the reauh of hostile shot.
This vessel dictated reconstruction to the
fleet of tbe world. In 1 1 Encison offered
to the United Statc-b navy department the
device of the celebrated turret ship. By
extraordinary energy and executive skill the
Monitor was launched with steam machinery
complete 10J days from the laj ing of tbo keel
plate , and arrived in Hampton roads just in
time to defeat the contederate iron-clad
Merrimac. But for the Monitor the whole
aspect of the war n.ight have been changed
and European interference been attempted.
Ericsson's invective genious has brought out
new inseoveries in every department of me
chanics , and be has received honors from
eveo country of the world. ]

termined hostility which the government
had shown towards tbe United States , be
drew attention to the manner in .which they
had discriminated illegally against American
commerce in the hope of driving the United
4tes into coming to their terms. But they
were fir' twople to be coerced and driven by
oppressive tii ry regulations or the harshest
treatment the preseCtavornment could di

treatment shown them and bring disaster

Confirmation of the Ilcported
Ilombnrtlment jtt Samoa.
WAsnisoTON , March S. The story of the
engagement between UioUfncnn man-of war
Olga and an American man-of-war m tbc
harbor at Apia , rcsaltmg jn the sinking of
the American vessel , is generally discredited
by the navy department No information
upon the subject has been received at cither
department , state or navy
The Ncipsic. which Is supposed to l e the
American vessel referred to in the German
publication , is rated as a xvoodcn vessel of
the third class , with six ffans. The Vandaha
and Trenton , which have doubtless reached
Samoa by this time , totryelcht and ten
guns respectively , and tljcjr tnuln batteries.
Most of these guns are smooth bore , but
naval officers say that ul short range and
ucainst unarmorcd vessels such as tbe Crr- !
man gunboats now iu Staoan waters , these
cannon are just as eftlciefct as rifled ordnance.
Unless tbc German gunboats have also been
reinforced , the American fleet now at Apia
is rerarded as superior kln offensive power ,
as its vessels are fresh Irom the repairers
nnd the crews are stronflf in number.
Secretary Blame this evening. In answer
to nn inquirv. said that the report of the con
flict between the German and United States
war vessels at Samoa wAs. in his opinion , un
worthy of crodance. He regarded it as n
mere stock jobbing rumor , having no foun
dation whatever Commodore Walker , of
the navy department , hold similar views
SVN FIIANCisco. CaV March S. Despite
the denials of the report which appeared in
the papers this morning'to the effort that nn
American war vessel had been blown up
with a torpedo during a fight with tbe Ger
man corvette'Olca. at Samoa , opinion here
is strongly inclined to plaes reliance in the
rumor , and the people are preatly excited.
Privaje advices received here to-night fur
nish strong grounds for belief in the truth of
the report. These advices are that the New
York Herald is toJiiicht in receipt of a tele
gram from James Gordon Bennett , at Puna ,
confirming the cablegram of this morning
It is also currently"reported here to-night
that a naval ofllctr in Washington tele
graphed to-duy to an officer at the Mare
Island navy yard here confirming the dis
patch. Naval oaicers at this port sav that
the German gunboats did i-arry torpedoes.
None of the American vessels now on the
way to Samoa are supplied with these mis
siles.

AVarwick S. White aud HC. . Starkey ,
both popular well known men , the Berry
Walls of the Athens of Virginia , close
friends , chums of the greatest intimacy had
a misunderstanding this evening as to a re
mark by tbe latter in connection with a

marks of Starkj angered White , a protracted
dispute resulted. It fically culminated in n
personal agreement to fight a duri witb pis
tols.
Accordingly White selected Pete Williams
as second , btnrkey named Jonn DPSS his rep
resentative. Principals and seconds at once
left town and in a secluded place in tbe fcub-
urbs marked off thirty paaes.
The principals faced each other with Colt's
thirty-two seven shot duelling pistols , anj at
sirnal Regan firing. Tbe pistols were emptied
without result. ,
Seven more shots by-etoo principal were
without pflecL 4 -
At this stage of affairs it began to lojk as
if neither of the aggrieved youths could hit a
barn.
The pistols were charged for the third time
and the last seven rounds were fired in rapid
succession.
When the smoke cleared away it was found
that one ball had passed through White's
hat. The coat of Starkey showed a bullet
mark. Forty-two shots w re nred in all.
At the conclusion the principals stepped
forward , shook hands , nnd made friends.
This statement is corroborated by the prin
cipals.

The Tale of .Mr. Ulclil. =
AmtAvn. Neb. . March S. [ Special Tele
gram to Tun Hrc ] J. Jt Kidd , Who was
mentioned in a Chejenne dispatch in to-day's
13en , passed through here to-duy. He says
Tun Hen's correspondent did not pet the
straight story , and that he hail known the
ladj for some time ; that she was on n visit
to her mother , who resides at Dry Cheyenne ,
Wyo , fifty miles from Douglas , and that
there ivas no dance and no shooting. Mr.
Kidd fired his revolver once in the nlr ,
merely to frighten the cowboys , as he nnd
his if c were getting into the stage. He had
for some time been engaged to the lady , and
they left by the night stage for Douglas ,
where they took the tram to Chadron , ana
were married there February 24 by Judge
Powers.
Mr. Kidd says the occurrence which gave
rise to the sensational report was the some
what heroic measures he was compelled to
resort to in defense of his own rights. He
hud the consent of his wife's mother to the
marriage , but her brother and his intimate
friends , who are cattle men , pro
tested. They attcmpteJI to prevent by
force the departure of the ladj nnd Mr.
Kidd , and as a means to this end loaded the
coach with oats , and entered into a conspi
racy with the stage driver to refuse to carry
the couple to Douglas Mr. Kidd , antici
pating the opposition to his plans , and not
knowing what might be the result , took the
precaution early in the day to conceal all
the cartridges about the place belonging
to the men who meant to give
him trouble. When the hour came for de
parture he saw that there was but one thing
to do , and that was to make a virorous stand
in self-defense He ordered the men. with
revolver outstretched , to unload the oats
from the stage , and compelled the driver to
take the box and drive toward Douglas. This
the driver did with alacrity , driving at
breakneck speed the first fifteen miles ,
where a rclav of teams was hitched on. The
men who had been foiled were left standing
by the oarn. swearing venceance upon the
head of Mr. ICidd , and threatened that if he
ever showed bimself there again they would
kill him.
This trouble happened on a ranch six miles
from Tere a , the nearest haoitalion , and the
loss of the cartridges was not discovered
until a few moments before the departure.
The driver cook'd down soon after their de
parture and offered no further resistance.
When at tort Fettcrman , he gave over the
stage U > another driver , ami offered to shake
hands with Mr. Kidd , who cheerfully re
spoudcd.
Mr. Kidd says that no amount of money
could induce him to again undergo such
mental strain or physical suffering from the
severe weather in which the sta e ride of
thirty miles was made. The mercury was
more than 20 aegrecs below zero , and
because of the close watch he was compelled
to keep on the driver , the curtains could not
be drawn , as Mr. Kidd feared he might at
tempt to overthrow the stage. Tnere wa s
bnnmcthinTmffaWTODe'and be ivas com
pelled to wrap the lady in his overcoat and
give her his overshoes Even then she was
with gre.it difficulty kept from freezing , and
he suffered intensely.
Mr. and Mrs. Kidd will hereafter make
their home in Omaha , and regret keenly the
notoriety which the episode above recited
has brought upon them.
Mrs. Kidd has been suffering from nervous
prostration as a result of lier exciting expe
rience , but is gradually recovering.

A ChUK TO TASCOTT.
Sncll'B Nephew Snld to Un on the
Murderer' * Tract
Ciuoioo , Mirch S. imperial Telegram to
THE BEC.It ' Is asserted to-night that the
best clue that hn ben had In connection
with Tasoott , the min who Is supposed to
have murdered Millionaire SnelUs being run
down by the police , and that tw.i c ty detec
tives and Pmkerton men , together with Mr.
Stone , nephew of the murdered man , loft
the city more than a week ago. That Mr.
Stone is at last on the heels of the right man
seems almost incradible. bat he must have
had pretty positive assurnnoa and proof thut
it was Tascott ho was losing for , as he
certainly would not have taken the trouble
to have personally made nn investigation on
merely the statement of some rural detec
tive. It has been the general belief in palicu
circles that Taseott was ulone at the
tirae Mr. Snell was murdered , and thnt he
left the city before it was. found thnt he was
the guilty party. Now it is claimed that he
not onlj had 11 partner in the crime , but was
BecretoJ in this city for weeks after the kill
ing. The supposition has been that Tasoott
left the city immediately after the killing.
The people of Hirer Forest , however , do not
think so. One of them is positive that ho
saw Tascott nt the house of n relative there
nearly three weeks after the murder , und
gave the police the tip. The nouso was
searched , but no Willie was found. The
cause "I this , if the statements of those who
have investigated the premises can be relied
upon , is that on th jir app-oach Tascott would
go into the cellar nnd crawl out over the sill
to n safe berth under the porc-h. No ono
would think of looking tor him in such a
place , and he made it a hiding spot until one
dark , stormy night , when ho went do wu to
the pamt shop on Canal street , near Kcuzie ,
which the detectives had by that time
grown tired of looking into. There
ho made himself at home m
nn unused lumber room , u > a bed and other
evidences of human habitation since found
there show. It was about this timoth.it the
detective furco was thrown into convulsions
bv the finding of Tascott's valise and jewelry
in a St Paul piwnsbop. and with visions of
the big reward the officers all rushed there
to capture him. This , it is held , wus merely
a sharp ruse on the part of Tascott's friends
to throw the detectives off the scent and give
the murderer a chance to cct awav. After
these developments were made , suspicion
was attracted toward a cerium carpenter
then living near this city , as Ta cjit's part
ner. Suddenly he sold his hou > e. and moving
his family into town dropped out of sight.
