WASHINGTON. D. C. , March 13.1
Warner Miller nnd nil his people have gone
homo without oven leaving a sentinel on
guard , nnd their parting words woroVo :
will Bhow Harrison thcro Is a hereafter. "
This Is understood to moan that they will
meet him at Phllllppl. Mr. Platt nnd his
folks nro qulto as happy as Miller is sad , and
they do not attempt to conceal their' glee at
the recognition , "tho worltlntriilcn of the
prrty , " ns they call themselves , luivo re
ceived from the administration. Mr. Miller's
greatest grievance WHS the appointment ol
Judge Huchullor as assistant secretary , nnd
ho charges that It was accomplishes ! by
treachery. Ho Insists that Bachollor would
not have bojn appjlntcd hut for an nssur-
unco to the president that ho Indorsed him ,
nnd ho did Indorse him for minister to Tur
key , which ho thinks Is an ortleo somewhat
different from that of assistant secretary of
the treasury. Ho would have been willing
to assist in sending ono of Mr. Pintle's most
ni'ttvo henchmen out of the country , but ho
docs not approve of placing him in charge
of the treasury patronage in the state of
New York. It Is true that Baehcllor's
friends did represent to the president that
ho was indorsed by Miller. This might or
might not liavo been deception , according
ns one looks at it , bul-the fuel is that when
the Now York mon told the president Unit
Miller indorsed Huchullor , ho thought they
meant for assistant secretary , while- they had
the Turkish mission in their minds. Mr.
Miller blames the president for permitting
himself to bo deceived , nnd thinks ho might
have been sent for to testily for himself.
But Mr. Miller lias other grievances. Ho
has not been nsltcd to the white house , whllo
Mr. Platt was telegraphed for , was given a
special appointment , and took luncheon with
tno president. Mr. Miller has taken his
rations at the hotel , has waited in the ante
room lika nn ordinary ofllcc-scckor , and up to
the present time has received no favor at all.

There is considerable mystery about the
English mission nnd Whitolaw Held. It is
true , ns I have stated in these dispatches be
fore , that Mr. Blaine loft it to Mr. Phelpa
nnd Mr. Held to decide which ot them should
have a first class mission , because ho could
not give ono to each , and the choice fell on
Mr. Hold , and It Is true also that whllo Mr.
Held , had the English mission under advise
ment Mr. Hlalno wrotu him to inquire If ho
would take the French mission Instead.
\Vlmt Mr. Held said in reply Is not known ,
but his friends say that ho will not ncccpt
the French mission , and is not llkoly to bo
sent to England. They say that Mr. Blaine
tendered him the English mission without
consulting the president , and thai , when Mr.
Blaine told the president what ho had done ,
the latter exclaimed : "I'm sorry for that ,
ns I have a man of my own for the court of
St. James. See if Mr. Reid would not like
to go to Franco instead. " And so the matter
stands at present. Who Is the president's '
man for the Court of St. James ! That's
something a great many people would like to
know.
TlllED OP WASHINGTON.
It Is not often that a senator of the
United States tenders his resignation ,
but the Indications nro that there
will soon bo a vacancy in the upper
branch of congress. During the recess be
tween the executive sessions this 'afternoon
the republicans of the senate held a caucus
for the purpose of re-arranging the commit
tees. This action so soqn after the com ,
mlttces had been flxcd up , created some com
ment , and Inquiry developed iho fact
that the caucus was made necessary by
tlio announcement of the fortucom
Ing resignation of Senator Jonathan
Cluicc , of Khodo Island. As u rule the col'
leagues of Senator Uliaco declined to talli
nbout the matter at all , and several republi
cans said this cvcninc that they know noth
ing whatever nbout the matter. Senator
Clintio was found In his house , nnd in re
Bponao to questions said Unit ho was not sur
prised that tlio old story was afloat again.
"Even whllo I was In the house,1' ho said ,
"it was reported again nnd again that I in
tended to get out of congress. It would scorn
that the caucus , If ono was hold , has my res
ignation already. I will.say , however , thn *
1 have not resigned yet. "
"Do you intend to reslenl"
"Now , I urn not going into my intentions ,
It Is very well known that I never wanted to
come hero and that I have been sick of
Washington for some years. I have
frequently said that I dc'slred to leave Wash
Ington and to retire to private llfe , "
"That is a rather unsatisfactory answer to
the question , senator , and I should like to
have something moro definite. "
"That is nil that I care to say on the
subject at present. " With this
tlio interview came to nn oiui. Senator
Aldrich has gone to Hhode Island
His departure was rather unexpected , and
this leads to the impression that ho has gone
homo to arrange the preliminaries for the
election of n successor to his colleague. A
republican senator said this evening that
thcro is not the slightest doubt that Senator
Chuce will resign. Tlio reason assigned for
Ills action Is that the climate of Washington
is not suitable for the Hlioilo Island man , and
the reason that BO much secrecy is main
tained Is probably tlio desire on tbo part o
Messrs , Clmco and Aldnch to control tlio selection
lection of the next senator from the atatc.

THE BUIIl'LUB ,
On the strongtti of a ulJo remark recently
made by President Harrison some holders o
United States bonds nro anticipating a bill
market. The president said that there wu
no necessity for an extra session of congres
to reduce the surplus , as tlicro would bo n
* Bitch thing ns a surplus If'our debt was re
duced , and that It should bo diminished a
rapidly ns bonds could bo paid. The nioi-i
frequently bond culls ure made on the pin
followed during the past your , by advertis
ing for voluntary miles , the more rapid will
bo the rise In this prime security , It is bo-
llovcu that thoru will bo noon begun u scries
of purchases of bonds which will reduce ttio
surplus to the minimum , Then llio presi
dent intend * to recommend u liberal expendi
ture for now war ships , und this will add to
the depletion of , the accumulation of the
treasury.
TOO I.lTCIIAtir.
Tbo appointment ot Lewis Walfloy , of
Tucson , to be governor of Arizona , will al
Uiost break the heart of at lenst ono aspirant.
A few days ago n gentleman whoso name is
ti household word In Arizona , called upon
the president , and applied for the guberna
torial appointment. After making the usual
speech und presenting the common pica of
indorsements , he drew from under his arm ,
it book of nbout two hundred and fifty pages ,
with caver Illuminated , and the body matter
cxqulcltelv printed , This he handed to Gen
eral Harrison , "with the compliments of the
author. " Tbo general received it with
thanks nnd assured his visitor that ho should
read U with pleasure at the first leisure
moment , "Hut it Is for Immediate reading , "
raid the gentleman , "and refers to the mut
ter about which wo hnvo been talking. "
The president upon opening the book , found
n title pno announcing the nitmo of the nu *
tlblographcr nnd that no was an applicant
for the governorship of Arizona. Further
Investigation disclosed that the work was
the life of the applicant , nnd nn argument in
favor of his Illness for the place , together
with the indorsements of his friends. The
book excited the president's suspicions evi
dently , for It Boon found its way to the secre
tary of the Interior nnd another man was to
day appolntoJ.
MONTANA PMUSCn.
The Montana people , democrats ns well as
republicans , say the selections made for
olllces In that territory are nil fiMt-cluss men
and do credit to the president's Judgment.
Tno democrats nil mlt that by limiting such
selection1 * ho hns strengthened the repub
lican party so th.it It will bo very likely to
capture the state government , th new sena
tors nn J the member of congrcas , as soon as
i.t is admitted to the union.
Montana has been taken care of pretty
well , ' nnd there nro thirty-eight states nnd
six territories whoso representatives would
llko to get from tlio Montanans their secret
of BUCCOSS. There was n gooo deal of as
tonishment at the senate tills afternoon when
the nomination for n marshal for Montana
came In , as n man named Irevin had been
confirmed forUiatofllcc the day before , and
Senator Platt , of Connecticut , who Is a good
deal of n wag , suggested that the president
wus going to give his friends two mon for
every ofllco nit around , but It turns out to
have been n clerical error.

intended to prosecute the campaign carefully
and legally. Ho would not appeal to the
chamber , whoso verdict was immaterial , , butte
to the country , which supported the patriotic
league. Ho denied that the league wus a
secret society. The real conspirators were
those who rebelled against universal

only hasten the hour when the country , dis
gusted nnd indignant , would expel the

Miuclon People Still Uncertain About

County to lie
Cut Up.
Holt County Solicnics ,
ATKIXSON , Nob. , Mnrch 14. To the Editor
of TUB HER : The Jumbo county of Holt
stands a fair chance of being torn asunder in
the early days of next November , provided
the board of supervisors at their Juno meet
ing submit to a veto any one of the petitions
now on file , or that nro now being circulated
for signatures. Every village In thlt county
is , or will bo , an asplratit for county scat
honors , and the town silo owners are carv
ing out n territory that shall be the center of
gravitation as well ns the center of the pro
posed county. This carving out U done
without any regard for the balance of the
county. All kinds of "Iniloooncoa" are
brought to heir upon the granger to Induce
him to sign tlio various petitions fur di
vision.
Stuart filed the first petition for division
with about fivehunJro.l nnd sevonty-fivo
names to it A largo number who signed
this petition hnvo. since signed u remon
strance , stating that they were deceived and
asking that their names bo stricken from the
petition.
Chambers , n X roads postoDlco near the
Wheeler county line , has filed a petition ask
ing that a slice off the south Bide eighteen
miles wide nnd forty-eight miles long he set
off into u county. To this petition thcro is
now a remonstrance in circulation.
Kwlng has a petition in circulation to tuko
sixteen townships In the southeast corner of
the county , while Atkinson , with the aid of
Miucola nnd Grand Hupids , comes to the
front with an old-fashioned slasher of n peti
tion nsklng that the county be cut into
"blocks of live. "
Holt county , In its present shape , is self-
sustaining , nnd that only , by strict economy.
O'Neill opposes nil kinds of division schemes ,
but her best informed citizens recognize the
inevitable , that the people tire now ready to
divide the county , und that whatever propo
sition is submitted to the electors will re
ceive n majority. Said u citizen of that city
to me the other day : ' 'O'Neill has bcon
asked by a committee from Inez to help them
to a sixteen township county in the south
west corner of the county , nnd that section
would Help us in return. Our citizens must
wake up and make combines-that will bo to
her ad van ta ire. She can no longer nit silent
ly by nnd feel secure In her safety. Atkin
son wants n county scat , and she wants it
bad , too. Do not let Atkinson for n moment
think that O'Neill is sleeping. She ain't
built that way. "
Office-seekers are ns thick ns fleas In the
sandhills , and ono said to mo the other day
at Stuart , between drinks : "Thoro is no
use of you Atkinson follows kicking. Wo
arc too smart for you. Wo are going to have
A county seat at Stuart , and I will tell you
confidentially that we have it all arranged.
O'Neill will help us und wo will help her.
Chambers wants help , nnd we can got aid
there , nnd there nre others that want help
and trade Is the watchword , and Atkinson is
gone. The ofllccs are already farmed out A.
E. Hice , county Judge ; J. Hice , countv attor
ney ; J. E. Short , county clerk ; James Sklr-
ving , treasurer ; Hart Manville , sheriff ;
Dick Johnson , milliner to county judge. "
The facts nro that there are many voters nil
over the county who are opposed to division ,
but it isdoubtfulif thcrearc enough to defeat
it. The real bottom to all the schemes for
division is the light between O'Neill und At
kinson. Last year division was defeated by
O'Noill promising various localities aid in
the future to so divide the county that they
would bo able to secure county seats. XX.

Mliuleii's Mystery.
MINDEX , Neb. , March 14. ( Special Tele
gram to TUB BBB.J The Zimmerman case
is becoming moro mysterious every hour. It
cannot be stated why the examination is
hold off except that several wltnossoa have
been summoned nnd nave not yet arrived ,
The opinion that the prisoner is the right
man Is b eeomlng moro universal. Chris
Larsons , the man who shot jSunmerman in
the side , which produced a lusting scaf.
called for the first time to-day and would
not express his opinion. Ho saii\ \ , however ,
"You hud bolter hold that man , as ho is a
tough character. " This caused the turn of
opinion. Sheriff Hill pronounced him u
gritty fellow and is thoroughly convinced
that ho is Zimmerman. The case Is likely to
cost the county 3,000 before it is ended.

examination some time to-morrow.

-o. - The sonnto then proceeded to consldora-
ion of executive business.
At 1 o'clock the senate , still In executive
session , took n recess until .1'o'clock. . In the
ntorval the republican senators met in cau
cus , it is supposed upon the { question of con
sidering legislation at this session.
While the senate was sitting with closed
doors Mr. Gibson's resoltit on for the np-
> olntincnt of n select camm , too on tiic rola-
ions of the United State- 1th Mexico and
Central America was takci up.
Mr. Halo suid that If the ' 0 wo ro any Just
grounds for the formation f n llko commit-
nittco for relations with Ca dda , the grounds
, vere surely us strong und mporatlvo in re
gard to Mexico. Itwas'of the utmost im-
lortuncc that the people of Mexico should
. case to cherish u jealousy of the people of
the United States , or resentments which
grow out of the Mexican war. The friend
ship of Mexico was needed in order to uphold
the Monroe doctrine , nnd it was important
to cultivate friendly relations in order to de
velop American trade. At present Franco
alone sent Into Moxica double the vnluo of
goods the United States did.
Mr. Merrill hoped , that if the matter was
cousldcred ut all it be by the committee on
commerce or finance" I
Mr. Platt , while rccognizinc fully the im
portance of cultivating friendly relations of
i commercial character with Mexico nnd the
South America states , agreed with Mr.
Morrill.
Mr. Hcagan spoke vigorously in favor of
the resolution.
Mr. Call favored the adont.ion of the reso
lution , and opposed the motion of reference.
Ho also advocated indirectly.his own resolu
tion , proposing a like select committee for
Cuba and the Westludies. He had recently
liad various letters showing that public at
tention Is being generally directed to the
subject of annexation for the acquisition of
the island of Cuba. If it was important to
ascertain the commercial relations between
Canada and the United States , it was cer
tainly equally Important to . .ascertain them
in regard to Cuba.
Mr. Halo objected tourthor consideration
of the subject in 'executive session , and the
senate adjourned till Monday.

Piitt.innM'iiu , March 14. A spoclnl to the
Inquirer Irom Chlcno saya ! The most Im
portant deal In the steel trade over uinUo In
Chicago was announced to-day in the consol
idation ot the North Chicago Rolling Mill
company , the Jolict Steel company nnd the
Union Steel company. Negotiation * to this
end have been going on for two months , nnd
wore practically concluded last week. The
no.vs was kept yery quiet nnd only
leaked' out through trade circles. The
iiamn of tlio now compiny has not yet
boon decided on , but will bo nn
entirely now one. The capital will bo
$20.000,000 , of which between M.OOO.OOO ntut
$ ) , Oi)0OiX ) ) will bo Issued for cash now In the
treasuries of the respective companies , nnd
the balance will represent this valuation of
the three plants. Stock In the now company
will bo distributed to shareholder ? in the old
ones upon a basis agreed upon in their con *
solldntlon. The combined works will form
the largest steel plant In this country , and
will probably rank second only to the estab
lishment of Krnpp , in Germany ,
Steel rails are the principal product of the
mills , mid in rail-making the new company
will hnvo no competitor in tlio work worth
speaking of. The steel rail output of the
country Is turned out at nine mills , or nt
least so much of It that the other concerns
figure very little. There is only ono west of
Chicago the Colorado Conl and Iron com
pany's mill nt South Pueblo , Col. and that
Is not ot much account. By the consolida
tion of the thrco Chicago concerns local
competition will ho destroyed nnd a better
price realized for rails.
Already plans arc being formed for secur
ing to the utmost the advantage ) of n union.
13y dividing up the work among the mills ,
3very department ot each can bo run to the
ucstndvuntungc. A reduction of expenses in
other directions will bo effected , nud it is
intimated that the cost of producing rulls can
bo cut $1 per ton. As the combined works
manufacture one-third of the total output of
the country , an-J can turn out 8JO.OOO rails u
year without much difficulty , besides 150.000
Lens of other steel material , this saving is
] f great importance to the stockholuers.
Inventories of the plant and nssets of the
Lhrco concerns nro now being made. Two
iron furnaces of the North Chicago mill at
Milwaukee , which have a capacity of 50,000
tons of pig metal per year , nro Included.

.lio matter of the selection of the Omaha
loMofllco site. Mr. Llnlon has not yet
made his report , nnd consequently tlio treas
ury department has nothing to net on. It Is *
understood that several vigorous protests
will bo made from Omaha , no matter what
situ Is selected , nnd the presence In the city
of n number of Oninhn parties who nro inter-
stod moro or loss directly In the choice , Is
evidence that thcro will bo music before a

The Indications with regard to the rolocu-

cvcr will bo done until the next ses
sion of congress , when there Is n possibility
of n cull from the war department for uddl-
.lonnl funds In order to carry out the pur *
chase of the site selected. The rocommeii-
ilatiou of the Hccrctnry of wnr , disapproving
of the choice made , will naturally carry
much weight with the new administration of
thu war department , and the chances nra
strongly against any reversal of Secretary
Kndlcott's verdict. When the next congress
ncots there will be n chance for tlio reopcn-
nir of the whole question , but until tluittlmo
