WASHINGTON , D. C. , March 27. )
President Harrison kept his secret vary
well when ho determined to appoint Robert
T. Lincoln , of Chicago , to bo minister to
England. It Is safe to any there wuro not a
half dozen men la Washington , Including the
cablnot and men In congress , who know nb
Bolutoly that Mr. Lincoln would bo nomin
ated to-day. Both of the IiViiols senators
* ay they had no moro than an lutlmatlon of
it and both say the position Is not to bo taken
from the federal patronage to bo glvon their
state. Representative Hilt , who was men
tioned In thcsu dispatches last night as being
In the line ot the position , says ho did not
know that Mr. Lincoln had been selected.
The Illinois delegation are satisfied with the
nomination If it Is to bo charged up to the
president's personal account , but they say ho
must not bo considered a part of of the
state's patronage. Whllo there nro many
who say that the nomination is not a politi
cal recognition they are forced to ncknowl-
cd go that from a diplomatic and business
standpoint the selection 1s u very wlso one.
Mr. Lincoln Is n man of education , culture
and wi'lo experience- public affairs , Ho is
thoroughly American and a pronounced
republican. In the event of commercial or
social complications with England or Canada ,
no ono could bo moro nearly equal to all
emergencies than ho. If there is any dis
satisfaction it grows solely out of the fact
that Illness was the primary clement which
entered into the selection
No surprise was expressed when the names
of Murat Halstcad to bo minister to Ger
many , Allen Thorndyko Rico to bo minister
to Russia , Patrick Egan to bo minister to
Chill , and Congressman Tom Ryan , of
Kansas , to bo minister to Mexico , were an
nounced at the senate. All of these wcro an
ticipated some days ago in these dispatches.
All of these men tire well known to the
country and they wcro nominated on ac
count of illness and party service.
1IAI.STCAT ) .
Halstcad hus long been a warm personal
friend to both General Harrison and Mr.
Blame , having been a schoolmate of the
former. His services to the party In the
capacity of editor of the Cincinnati Com
mercial Gazctto Is recognized the country
over.
TJIOllNm-KE JUCE.
As editor of the North American Review ,
Mr. Rico rendered immense service during
the late campaign , especially in roasting Sec
retary 13ayard for Jits incapacity as a diplo
matist.
TATHICK EOAN.
The nomination of Patrick Egan was a
recognition of the Irish-American clement ,
led by Patrick Ford , of tho-Irish World.
Mr. Ford asked no other favor.-
The Nebraskans have protested against
the appointment of Mr. Egan being charged
against their state. Ho has lived in Ne
braska a portion of his eight years in this
country , but has not identuled himself sufll
elontly with Nebraska interests to rccoivo
political support.to the extent of being given
a position out of the state's apportionment of
patronage.
TOM BTAN.
Tom Ryan was indorsed by the ontlro
Kansas delegation in congress. Ho nas
served twelve years In congress and was ro-
elcctcd to the Fifty.flrst congress by several
thousand majority. Ha has for years been a
prominent member of tha committee on ap
propriations. Ho was a captain iu the union
army in the late war , was severely wounded
In the battle of the Wilderness , and is flfty-
two years old. Ho has grown tired of con
gressional life and will make a good repre
sentative ut the court of our southern neigh
bors. It was only last evening that Mr.
Ryan , who was booked for Chill , concluded
that ho would rather go to Mexico and re
quested that position. Mr. Hyan has had no
training as a diplomatist , but ho is a man of
iterling integrity and will provo an apt
pupil.
JOHN HICKS.
John Hides , of Wisconsin , nominated to bo
minister to Peru , Is tbo editor of the Osli-
kosh Northwestern , is a warm personal
friend of Senator Sawyer , and Is charged to
that gentleman's account. Ho was born at
Auburn , N. Y. . educated nt the Lawrence
university , Wisconsin , and hau been a
resident of Oshkosh since boyhood.
OEOIIUK 1) ) . l.OIII.VO.
Dr. Gcorgo 13. Loring , of Massachusetts ,
who goes as minister to Portugal , is a trained
diplomat , and is said to bo the fittest man
nominated for a foreign mission under thU
administration.
OSCAR 8. STItAUSS.
It Is stated in official circles that an effort
Is being made to have Oscar S. Strauss re
tained as minister to Turkey. Mr. Strauss is
B Hebrew and has extensive mercantile in
terests In Now York. Postmaster General
Wanamakor has made a personal request of
Mr. Blalno that thcro bo no quango In this
onlco. Gcorgo William Curtis ana other
mugwumps secured Strauss' appointment
under Mr. Cleveland , and some curiosity is
expressed as to why Mr. Wanamakcr
should interest himself In Strauss' behalf.

About 4 o'clock this afternoon Governor
Beaver , of Pennsylvania , was assaulted in
the public rooih of the Ktgcs house by Cap
tain Gcorgo Armcs , a retired army ofliccr.
The assault was made while the governor's
back was turned to his assailant , troin whom
ho was moving away on his crutches. The
Incentive to tbo cowardly attack was the
forcible removal of Armos from the inaugu
ration procession by Marshal Hustings , of
Pennsylvania , actlngundcr orders from Gov
ernor Heaver , Amies had been Invited to
act as aldo to Governor Heaver , but after
learning of his record and of the refusal of
several army ofllccrs to servo with him on
the governor's stuff , General Heaver canceled
the appointment. In splto of the revocation
of his commission , Amies , in full uniform ,
instated on appearing In Une , from
\ylilch ho was forcibly removed by a
mounted policeman acting under direct
.orders of Captain Uourko and General Gib-
ion , Amies was greatly excited and wrote
a letter to Governor Heaver demanding an
explanation , to which tbo governor declined
o reply. This afternoon while the governor
was loaning on his crutches , Araics ap
preached Him , demanded uu apology , and re
ceiving none , pulled the governor's .nose as
ho was going away from him on his crutches.
„ The governor turned quickly nnd struck at
Arnies with hi * YJrutch , but tha cowardly
assailant dodged the blow and ran rap'dly
through the corridor , escaping Into Pennsyl
vania avenue. Armcs was court martialod
and dismissed from ino army in 1870 , and
ufterwurds restored by act of .congress In
18T8. Ha was subsequently dismissed for
cruelty to his men , hut tha sentence was rn-
nnttcd by President Hayes. A bhort tiina
afterward * ho was roil red for disability.
Ho will probably bo court martialcd for his
assault of this afternoon , and will undoubt
edly in that case bo permanently stilpivjd of
his uniform.
KO "OFFBNBIVB I'AUTJgANSIIH' . "
President Harrison docs not desire it to bo
understood that any general rule or general
principle will operate to keep ull democrats
in oilice until the expiration of their present
commission. JIo suja each cuso wftl be taiccn
\JP separately and upon Its own distinctive
sterits , and the circumstances which will op
erate to hold in position one ofliccrvill not
necessarily have auy Inlluenco upon another
cue. Tlio Impression has gone abroad that
It Will bo the policy of the udmltilftrution to
permit all democrats who nro cftldcnt In
their positions to servo until the end of the
tlmo specified in their commission * ) and thut
on.'cers ' will not be removed on the ground of
offeuaJvo panlt&oiblu. U'bls juav bold good
to Jjietiflc cues , tut tt cannot be * ju > lle-l *
a general rulo. There Is to bo no official or
technical term In this administration , ns
thcro was in the lost , known as "offensive
partisanship. " That is to say , ofllcers are
" .ot to bo charged with being offensively parj
Isan and removed for that cause. Thcro nro
thcr and better ways of making vacancies.
? nero are n suflldlont number of oftlcers where
ro Inefficient to make an almost complete
ihango In the control of the federal service
hroughout the country. The postal service
s In a terribly demoralized condition , and if
ill of tbo inoniclont men wcro removed , thcro
vould bo very few democrats loft. The same
may truthfully bn said of a majority of tbo
"
"edcral offlcors who hold commissions issued
iy President Cleveland.
WALKBU'S ItnSIONATlOX.
A vacancy will bo created in the Inter-state
ximmcrco commission next week. The com
mission of Mr. Walker , xvho has roslgnod to
iCccpt a moro lucrative position In the em-
iloymcnt of a railroad combination , will ox-
ilro within a few days. The president does
lot recognize an emergency in this instance ,
lowovcr , ns the law does not require the fill-
ng of a vancy on the Inter-state commerce
; ommlssion Immediately after It Is created ,
nnd therefore a now Inter-state commerce
commissioner may not bo named for some
weeks yet. It Is very dlfllcult to select the
iropcr man for this place. Ho must have
iad oxpericnco In commercial business if not
n railroad transportation nnd at the same
line must bo independent of the influence of
nmsportatlon companies or companies which
: ould bo favored by the action of the com *
mission.
CIVIL sr.nvicn COMMISSION'S.
It is the purpose of President Harrison to
appoint at least two now civil service com
issioners before the present extra session
of the senate adjourns next week. It is not
known whether Mr. Lyman , the only com
missioner In charge of the commission nt
present , will bo retained. Ho was ono of the
lirst commissioners appointed , and rotalnod
Ills position throughout the Cleveland ad
ministration by reason of his Inoffensive
partisanship. A largo number of republi
cans have protested against his being kept iu
the place , claiming that ho is not a republi
can , or if ho can bo classed as a republican ,
'
's not sufllclcntly pronounced to represent
lie party. The president wants a commls-
ilon nominated sufllciently early to receive
iction by the senate before it adjourns , as it
s very dinicult to select civil service com
missioners who will pass the requirements
not only sot up by the law but by the senate.
Ex-Senator Palmer , of Michigan , who was
several days ngo made minister to Spain ,
; vss in Newspaper row this evening , where
: io has a friend in every journalist , and bade
bis acquaintances pood-bye. Ho goes to his
homo in Michigan to make flnnl prepara
ions for his departure , and when ho returns
iicro it will bo to receive his Instructions.
He oxpccts to arrive in Madrid about the
1st of May , and observed to your correspon
dent to-nigbt that , ho would likely bo back in
Washington within a year , which Is probably
nn intimation ttiat ho will resign his commis
sion ut that timo. Mr. Palmer has had his
heart set on living on his farm near Detroit ,
and goes abroad with moro or less rcluctancy.
Ho was at the white house to-day , bidding
the president good-bye. He said there : "I
leave for Michigan to-night , but will come
back to bo 'coached , ' and then I shall say
adieu tearfully. My hopes of retiring to pri
vate life and giving up the remainder
of my existence to the study of agriculture
ave once more been shattered , ana now I
become a wanderer. There will bo com
pensations though. I understand they grow
good onions in Spain , and I am an onion
raiser. Why do I need to bo 'coachedl1
Well , I can't say. My "idea of diplomacy is
to hold your apron extended until the plum
drops into Jt. Never mistake hurry for
activity. That is our great national error.
Shall I like it in Spain ? Yes , but I wish that
I didn't havjj to go thcro until November. 1
would like to live in my castle in Spain in
the winter and iu my loghouse in Michigan
in the summer. I would rather feed hogs and
ride mules than conduct negotiations for
treaties ? " At the white house Mr. Palmer
was Introduced to Mr. Whltclaw Reid , who
called to pay his respects to the presiient ,
accompanied by William Walter Phelps. Mr.
Palmer had never scon Mr. Roljl bafore , nnd
they loft the executive mansion pleasantly
conversing upon their newly found duties.
TUB runuo ruiNTEitsinp.
The appointment of the public printer is
expected daily now. The loading candidates
are Mcroditb , of Illinois , Helm , of Indiana ,
and Childs , of Ohio. The latter called upon
the president to-day and Insisted upon a
promise , when the president said : "I am not
pledged to man , woman or child , and yet , "
nnd a smile played over the president's face
nt the approaching nun , "you want me to
pledge myself to n child. "
UNANIMOUS FOIl NEW.
The committee on commerce to-day made a
unanimous report to the senate in secret ses
sion in favor of the confirmation of the nomi
nation of Colonel John C. Now , of Indianap
olis , to bo consul general to London , and the
nomination would have been confirmed im
mediately had it not been that the general
rule of the senate requires all nominations to
lay on the table ono day after they have been
reported from committee. Tbo nomination
will be confirmed to-mnrrow. Colonel Now
is hero , and immediately after ho receives
the notice of his confirmation will oocure his
commission and receive Instructions.
WILL KEMAIN IN I'lllVATE LIFE.
One of the men who has made great
efforts to secure the appointment of commis
sioner of Indian affairs or commissioner of
the general land ofllco is Roderick R , Hutlor ,
an cx-mombor of congress from Tennessee.
Ho secured the indorsement of over ono
hundred and forty members of the house of
representatives nnd n good many senators ,
and believed until a day or two ago that ho
was booked for an appointment. The presi
dent was placed In possession of an ofllcial
document containing the report of the con
gressional committee which investigated the
charges made against Butler of haviug sold a i
West Point cadctshin for S'JOO while a mem
ber of congress , and Mr. Butler will remain
In private life.

Tbo Nebraska delegation held a second

that the district attorncystnp will go to the
Second district : thut the bank examiners

naming and that tbu land ntllco appointments

CHICAGO , March 27. | Special Telegram to
Tnn DEE.J The appointment of Robert Lin-
coln.as minister to England oamo as n great
surprise to Chlcagolatis as well ns to Mr.
Lincoln himself. It gives none the less sat
isfaction to the people hero regardless ot
party. As soon as the dispatch announcing
the appointment was received , a reporter
called at his law ofllco and imparted the Information
mation to him. ' 'What ' is that you say I" ho
asked , as If he did not understand the state
ment.
"Your name has been sent to the senateby
President Harrison as minister to England. "
"It Is news to mo. I uavo never heard a

"Woro you n candidate for the position 1"

lief. I have not yet been onldally notified
of it , and have no other Information than
that you bring me. "
"Will you acceptl"
"Oh , I would not care to discuss'that at
present. I would not care oven to take the
matter of whether 1 would accept or not
into serious consideration till I am notillod of
my appointment in the regular way. I
would not now discuss the matter
in any way. " Mr. Lincoln Is n member of
thii law firm of Isham & Lincoln , hero , and
has n lucrative practice , which many think
ho will bo reluctant to abandon , and In addi
tion ho in credited with a genuine aversion to

CONNELL'S GOOD WORK.
Free Delivery For South Omaha and
Improvement For Omaha.
WASHINGTON , March 27. [ Special Tele
gram to THE BEE. ] Congressman' Connell
this morning secured an order from the post-
office department giving South Omaha carrier
delivery facilities. Mr. Connell is assured
that within less than sixty days the postal
carrier system will bo in full operation in
South Omaha. Mr. Conncll also expects to
Induce the postofllca department to place
Omaha among the class of cities of over 80,000
inhabitants , nich will materially increase the
pay of postal carriers In Omaha and give the
city Increased facilities for handling the
mails. In case the department declines to
concede the claims of population , Mr. Connell
will endeavor to secure an order for a muni
cipal census under an ordinance to bo en
acted hereafter.
The National Senate.
WASHINGTON , March 27. The" republican
senators held a caucus this morning at which
the subject of discussion was whether Mr.
Coke's speech on southern election outrages
should bo answered. The conclusion was
that there should bo no further discussion of
that subject at this session.
In tha senate the resolutions heretofore
offered by Mr. Butler , declaring that the
tenure of the president pro torn does not ex
pire at the meeting of congress after recess ,
but held at the pleasure of the senate , were
taken up and Mr. Gcorgo made a speech in
opposition to them.
Mr. Evarts said that after a careful exami
nation of the constitution ho was convinced
that thcro was really no doubt of the compe
tency of the senate to choose a presiding offi
cer to act whenever occasion should arise ,
and that It would bo very inconvenient to
tolerate any opposite view. Ho had prepared
a resolution which ho thought would cover
all nolnts. It was in this language :
Resolved , That it is competent to the sn
ate to select a president pro temporc , who
shall hold ofllco during the pleasure of the
bonato , and until another is elected , and
shall execute the duties thereof whenever
the vice-president Is absent.
Mr. Butler thought the question ought to
bo settled , but as the senate was not likely
to remain In session moro than a week or ten
days longer , there could bo no great Incon
venience in letting the matter remain as it
was. Ho therefore suggested that his reso
lution , and that suggested by Mr. Evarts ,
should bo referred to the committee on
privileges and elections.
This , after a protracted discussion , was
done.
The senate then proceeded to considera
tion of executive business and at 3:80 : ud-
journed ,
After adjournment of the senate the repub
lican caucus rosunied its sitting ana disposed
of the two questions under consideration.
It was decided that the employmentof clerks
which would result in an overdraft on the
contingent fund was illegal , and therefore
the scheme to make all committee clerks an
nual clerks will fail. A resolution
was adopted , however , to give Senator
Vance , of North Carolina , a personal
clerk. Ho has lost one eye and the sight of
the other is failinp , and his republican col
leagues deemed It only Just that he should
bo spaiod the necessity of using his remain
Ing eye to conduct his correspondence. I
was finally decided not to continue debate on
the southern election outrages. The general
opinion , so far as expressed , was that the
senate 'might reasonably expect to be able to
adjourn on Wednesday or Thursdc of uex
we'ek.

ram to Tun Bcc. ] Samuel Lea , a farmer
residing four miles north of this place , was
nstantly Killed hero this afternoon.
The circumstances are substantially as fol
lows : Mr. Lea was driving n span of young
colts when they took fright at some passing
object and became unmanagablo tn the north
part of town on Pacific street and ran away.
Ho being unable to stop or guide them they
ran over nn embankment nt H. A. Noltos'

Still Investigating.
GHEOA , Nob. , March 27. [ Special to THE
BEE. ] Indian Inspector MaUott is still hard
at work upon the Indian school investigation
at this placo. Matters do not Improve as the
investigation progresses , as nearly every
transaction of Chaso's from the very first
shows up crooked , nnd several of citizens
report finding their names upon vouchers and
checks which they jttre positive they never
saw before , and consequently never signed.
Ono of the employes , woo loft the school in
18S7 in the middle .of the quarter , received
Chaso's individual check for services to date ,
immediately loft town and has not been here
since until quite recently. Yet a government
check shows up in payment of services for
the full quarter and bearing the said em
ployes indorsement. Tncro was a kick
among some of Chase's- friends when THE
BEE reported the shortage to bo $35,000 , but
when his bondsmen settle up for his "indis
crimination" they will have to reach way
down into their pockets.
The crop of applications for positions at
the Indian school and other otllces at the gift
of Uncle Sam here , la showing up finely as
thcro arc 120 republican voters in this town
ship and your correspondent has signed 110
petitions , and is anxiously awaiting the ap-
.pcaranco of that other follow.
What IB Their Pate ?
AIXSWOUTH , Nob. , . 'March 27. [ Special
Telegram to THE BEE.- ] The curtain has
probably fallen on another act In Koya Paha
county vigllanU dramju
A band of masked men took thrco of tbo
accused cattle thlords , Gannon , Babcock
and Remus , from their homes this morning
across the line injo tb reservation and de
livered thom-to a baq of Indians. It Is be
lieved that all t urea yf the men wcro killed.
They had been released by the committee
some tlmo ago on their rfro'mlsc to leave , but
they failed to keep the promise and this is
the result.
The wife of ono of the men was in Spring
View to-day asking for aid , but conceded
that it was too late , as there is little doubt of
the fate of the men.
A. License Ticket.
VALPAIIAISO , Nob. , , Maoch 27. [ Special
Telegram to THE BEE , ! A meeting of license
men was held hero to-night to nominate can
didates for city trustees , and the following
named men were chosen ; William Bays , W.
T. Craven , D. M. Dean , Hixson and William
GifUo. At the close of ttio meeting the
nominees marched up * and signed a resolu
tion , which had been passed to the effect that
if elected they would grant licenses to those
who would comply with the village ordi
nance and state laws m regard to saloons.
The ticket Is a strong one , and the anti-
license men are fearful that they will bo
beaten by it. The anti-license men also called
a meeting this evening , but nothing was done
towards putting a ticket in the field. Should
u saloon DO licensed it will have to bo kept

is to cat humble pie nnd vote for prohibition

The Great English Statesman Passes
Peacefully Away.
LONDON , March 27. John Bright died at
S:30 : o'clock this morning. His end was
peaceful nnd painless. Ho had lain in n coma
tose condition sluco yesterday. All his
family were present at the death bod. In the

with much emotion , referred to the death of
John Bright. Ho said ho would postpone his'

stone would bo present.
The funeral will take placa on Saturday.

Bright's face. Political deputations will
follow the funeral. Only personal friends
will bo admitted to the meeting in the house.
At the political meetings throughout the
country this evening sympathetic rclercncos
wcro made to Bright.
[ John Bright was born at Greenbank , near
Rochdale , Lancashire , November 10,1811. Ho
was a member of the Society of Friends und
head of a firm of cotton spinners and manu
facturers in Rochdale. When the anti-corn
law association was formed in 1S3S ho entered
heartily into its plans , co-operating with Mr.
Cobdcn , and the two became tlio leading
spirits in the league. In 1848 he was chosen
member of parliament for Durham , took an
active part in the measures for free trade ,
and had much to do with the bill of 1810 for
the immediate modification of the corn laws
and their total repeal at the end of three
years , or on February 1 , 1840. In 1847 , and
again In 185' } ho was returned to parliament
from Manchester. In 1S54 he sanctioned the
sending of a deputation of Friends to dissuade
the Czar from entering upon hostilities with
Turkey , nnd also deprecated the policy of
England in taking part In tbo war. In 1857
his opposition to the war with China rendered
him unpopular with his constituents and ho
was dolcatcd In Manchester by a largo major
ity. Ho was , however , returned from Bir
mingham , and urged the passage of a vote of
censure against tbo Paltnerston administra
tion -for introducing tha foreign conspiracy
bill , " in consequence of which the ministry
resigned February 20 , 1853. Shortly after
ward ho made a speech favoring the re
duction of the English military establish
ment and condomniug the policy of Asiatic
conquest. In IbOO he took u leading part in
bringing about the commercial treaty with
Franco. Durintr tbo civil war ho was a firm
friend of the union and supported its cause
both in and out of parliament. In 1SC5 he
entered upon the agitation in favor of the
extension of the elective franchise , which
finally resulted in the passage of the reform
bill August 15 , 1807. Ho also urged the
necessity of reform in Ireland and the dis
establishment of the Irish church , n bill for
which was introduced in the house of com
mons March 1 , and passed July 20,1809. At
the parliamentary election of 1808 n largo
majority of liberals were returned ; the Dis
raeli ministry resigned December2 und in tlio'
Gladstone ministry which succeeded it Mr. ,
Bright became president of the board of
trade , being the first Quaker who ever held
a scat in the British cabinet. In consequence
of tnc faHuro of his. health , ho resigned his
seat in the cabinet Dccemcer 20 , 1870. In
187. ! , having partially recovered , ho resumed
his place in parliament , but was not after
wards able to take .any prominent part in
public business. Mr. liright's eloquence , cn-
orey , probity nnd uniform adherence to prin
ciple , placed him at the bead of the liberal
party in England. ]

WATTERSON'S WORDS OF PRAISE.
The Republican President Evidently
Rapidly Winning IIU War to
Popular Favor tn the Demo
cratic ) Stronghold.
The Dlplomallu Appointments.
LOUISVILLC , March 27 , Regarding Presi
dent Harrison's diplomatic appointment ,
Mr. \ Wnttcrson will say In to-monow' ' *
Courier-Journal 1t :
There Is no denying that the administra
tion t ! Is getting In some very astute political
and party work tn Its appointments to ofllce.
With the exceptions of Wanamakor nnd Tan
ner , Mr. Harrison , whilst selecting active
nnd orthodox republicans of the most pro
I nounced description , has shocked no popular
or moral sansluility , but has rather im
pressed the country with the Idea that ha
is n clear-headed , woll-intcntlonod man ,
working for the best with great
Intelligence- i within his own party lines. Tno
nomination of Robert Lincoln as minister to
England Is at once a surprise and n ton-
strike. Taken in connection with the selec
tion t of Fred ( . ( rant for Vienna , it contains
' an ' appeal to the young republicanism of the
period ; which cannot fall to have Its effect.
Both of these sons of Illustrious slrca are
American gentlemen without reproach , and
fully qualified , personally nud officially , td
. represent the country handsomely and ado *
' quately In the old world.
In bringing the journalism of the party to
the front , nnd stimulating thut important
branch of the party service , the president
shows wisdom nnd sagacity. No bettor min
ister to Franca could have been found in any
walk of life than Whltolaw Reid , nnd no
fitter consul general to England than John
C. Now. Now we have Murat Halstcad to
Germany and Thorndyko Rico to Russia.
Mr. Rico Is editor of the North American
Review , a man of many accomplishments
and largo fortune , whoso knowledge
of European life and affairs Is very
great and has not been obtained by
the sacrifice of Americanism. The selection ,
of Hnlstcad for Berlin is a particularly
happy one. Ho Is already well known to
Germans. In the Franco-Gorman war ho
was the companion and guest of Von Moltko ,
met the great chancollpr familiarly an d
often , and will bo no stranger to the court
to which he Is accredited. Ho Is , personally ,
both a handsome nnd brilliant man , nndlll
appear nowhere without distinction.
The rest of the appointments are in the
same line , particularly that of Patrick Egan ,
which , at this moment , must bo very gratify
ing to the Irish on both sides of the
water. It costs us nothing to Ray
these things. The contest between the dem
ocratic and republican parties for years
hence will turn upon the irreconoiUblo antagonisms -
tagonisms of opinion , In the meantime it Ii
of interest to all men to have the business of ,
the country , partioularry our representation
abroad , In the hands of good men , as It can ,
never bo in the interest of any party to raise
false personal Issues or deny politically that
measure of justice which socially no ono
would think of withholding. All the ap
pointments wo have named individually , are
excellent , and from a purely partisan stand
point made with admirable discernment nud
keen foresight , }
With particular reference to the flcht
against the confirmation of the notnin tioa
of Mr. Halstcad , Mr. Wutterson says :
"It is to be hoped that the democrats of
the senate , particularly the democrats of the
south , will join in no such movement. It
could emanate only from petty personal spite
and political malignity. Mr. Halstcad is a
fighter , and a bully fighter , who hits right
out from the shoulder , and never struck s
man a lick below tlio belt in his life. Ass
representative of the country abroad , he cart
bo relied on as the most ardent nationalist
could desiro. The rejection of such n noml <
nation would not only be a public sc.-uula1 ,
but a vole to reject it ought to bring upon its
author the contempt which mailco always in
spires in tbo minds of honest men. "
THE PERSONAL AKltAXGEaiENT.
A Vcrhal Compact Violating the
Presidi'iit'B Agreement.
CHICAGO , March 27. ( Special Telegram to
THE BKE.I Of seven prominent railroad :
men seen to day by a reporter , in reference
to the exposure of a pooling agreement be
tween Messrs. Hughitt , Cable , Strong and
Miller , of the Northwestern , Rock Island ,
Santa Fc , and St. Paul railroads , not end
would speak for the public. They were alt
forced to acknowledge that there was prac *
tically no difference between the "personal
arrangement" and pooling , but all contended
thut It was no one's business and only a mat
ter that concerned the roads Interested.
Five of the men seen drew the roporter'B ut.
tontlon to a clause in tlio president's agree
ment which specified that measures should )
be taxcn to secure to each company Its duq
share of competitive truillc. Not ono of tbo
five could tell how this could ba
done without a resort to pooling
methods and each acknowledged
that a resolution to do tin illegal thing did
not make the act legal. Said an nniclal of an
eastern road : "Tho only tioublo Is that till
existence of tbo pool was discovered. It
didn't hurt any one while It lasted , and pre
served harmony amonir the Omaha roads. It
docs look a little tough , perhaps , that sucb
men as Hughitt , Cable , Millar and St-ronfl
should have liucn the first to be found gulltj
of pooling. As far as that is concerned , tin
same arrangement is iu effect to many othei
competitive points. It was absolutely ncccsi
sary to mnka some such verbal agreement 01
the railroads would have cut each othcn
throats. I suppose the whole thing will b
broken up temporarily at least until tlio In ten
state commission metes out punishment
Now , don't ' you quote my nuuie. "
