In the opinion of lion. CnrtT Henry Harrison
risen , Ocnoral John AI. I'liliucr is standing in
the light of Ids paity by his position In the
senatorial deadlock nt Springfield.
"In my opinion , " said Mr. Harrison today ,
"General Pulmer.should go ( o the steering
committee and consult freely with thoin. Ho
should require them to publicly announce
that after a certain number of ballots , sny llvo
or ten , ho would withdraw from the contest
and under no cireunstances bo considered as
n candidate after that. If such a stop was
taken , it might be productive of results.
Undoubtedly Ooucr.il Palmer has admirers
on the republican side of the bouse who
would like to see him senator , but who dare
not vote against their party. Now , Ifit came
right down to n point where their favorite
was to retire forever , these people might take
advantage of their last chance. Tor they
would undoubtedly reason It out that Is far
bettor bettor to fry the llsh we have on hand
than to go poking about In the muddy pond ,
peopled by unknown species of tinny mon
sters. Tills Idea of mlno resardlng what
Palmer should do applies ciuiully to Strceter
and Oplcsby. All of them should retire , un
less thov can spccdllv show that they possess
the ability to draw outside votes. "
When asked If ho was n candidate for the
position Mr. Harrison responded quickly :
. "No , not by any manner of moans. lam
In no way im'pollod to re-outer the political
Held , 1 was lortv-slx year * of ago before 1
hold ofllco. so It Is not part of the breath of
mv nostrils. "
Then a look of deep thought settled upon
the rugk'cd face of the ex-mayor.
"Lightning Is above mo , " ho said , and ho
pointed upward as he spoke , "nnd If people
think 1 am a good conductor they can let It
strike. "
KiTiiru MAiirn OUFINITICISM.
"Tho entire story is a base fabrication , "
said General Nelson A. Miles today when
uskod about the telegraphed report which
charged that when hoas In command in
Montana ho and his men massacred a party
ol between two mid three hundred Indians
about two months prior to tbo Custor massa
cre in 1ST ) ! . "At that time , " said the
general , "I was fully a thousand miles from
the scene , and had never up to that time been
in Montana on military matters. How such
a story could have boon started is beyond my
comprehension. I did not ire to Montana
until some weeks subsequent to tbo Custor
trouble. "
"Who Is this man , fus ! Hcaullcn , who is
purported to have made these statements ! "
ho was ashed.
"I never hoard of him before. Ho Is not
connected with the army. Of that I am pos
itive , for any ono acquainted with military
matters will at once see how absurd It is. "
"Do you think it was malice that prompted
him to say what ho did I"
"It was either wholly malicious or It might
bo the fiinutlc.il outburst of some ignorant
enthusiast. "
A SKVTIMBNT WITHOUT St'PPOWT.US. '
S. AV. Allerton , the millionaire packer ,
made a speech before tbo Veteran Union
league In Grand Army hall in which ho spoke
in favor of pensioning rebel veterans , which
sentiment cientcd a great stir in Grand
Army circles. Kvory veteran ono met today
expressed his indignation in foieibleluucunge.
Not a supporter ot the speaker could bo
found among tlio wearers of the little bronze
bu'tons. '
Colonel Sexton , postmaster and an Inde
fatigable worker in the Oraml Army cause ,
said : "Theonly thing whirl deterred the
veterans from hissing the speaker was the
feeling of courtesy to him as an invited
guest. When I speak 1 foci assured 1 speak
for the trand ! Army hoys the world over.
'Iho idea of penslonini ; a rebel or a rebel's
family Is so absurd that one can baldly
imagine that a patriotic citUon should con
ceive it. If pensions should bo granted to
these rebels I should feel llko rebelling my
self. "
i ONO i-Ksnixo srirs.
Old times were brought to mind today in
Judge Clifford's court when a motion wa- <
made for the Indefinite continuance of about
thirty suits against the Great Western tele
graph company , a concern which wn organ-
i/ed with a capital of J1MXK ( ) ( ) ( ) , before the
Hie , and him ti OO stockholders scattered
throughout the country mid built 1,401) ) miles
of telegraph hcrvlce. In 1S74 , some years
after the compnnv was Incorporated , on ap
plication of the stockholders , a receiver was
appointed. These stockholders had objected
to assessments , and litigation bus been pend
ing in ono form or another ever since. The
motion to continue ttio cnso today was made
because the stockholders who were sued are
desirous of securing a decision of Judge Tul
ey in n suit now pending to sot aside assess
ments , .ludgo Clifford declined to enter any
order and tbo sulU will soon como up for
trial. Senator U. 11. Fin-well is the com
plainant in the suit now pending before
Judge Tuley.

Among the cases of destitution discovered
by the Herald's relief corps is that of an old
man named Nov'ns ' , totally blind and so liiine
that ho cannot walk. Ho lives in n wretched
place , imilt for any use better than that of a
B pig sty , at KM Larrubeo street. The shanty
gives forth gross nnd tumid exhibitions that
s beoni to carry disease and death In their
wake. Novins is perfectly helpless , but tie
refuses to leave the kouncl In which he Is
sheltered. Ho says it belongs to his daugh
ter , who is married and lives In Nebraska.
His son who is n painter by trade has , in
stead of helping the old man , abused him most
outrageously. The son has been out of work
for some time and has industrlouslv devoted
himself to the rum shops. The police bent
him to tbo bridewell.

Telegram to Tin : Ur.n. ] The glove light be
tween Cieorgo Dixon , the Boston colored pu
gilist and Cat McCarthy , ttio Xow Jersey
Wonder , which was to have taljen placy at
the Puritan club rooms tonight , was at the
hist minute declared off. Tno baekcis of the
men decided not to ilsk their arrest and in
carceration in jail.
A crowd of fully two thnumiid had col
lected In front of the Puritan club rooms , and
backs lined the curb lor a bloclc or more.
The authorities would not have interfered ,
at least not until the jui'U had
overstepped the rules reirarditiK box
ing contests , hud not a committee from
a local political organ Ualion known
as the .lefforhoii club had taken the matter
up. The committee , composed of Samuel H.
Ilansell , James Thlry and Jotuph 35. McKin-
HOV , went to Jamaica mid rcqucstea District
Attorney Fleming to stop the contest. The
district attorney refused to' take the action
mid told them they would huvo to go before n
county jiidgo and apply fur \viirrunts for the
arrest of tlio men.
Tbo committee then went before Judge
Gnrrotson , who had a special s iion of court
in Long island City , and llh'dlth him affi
davits , stating that , upon Information and
belief , they thought DIXOII and McCarthy
weio going to engage In a pil/.ti
light. Judge Garrctson then issued
warants for the arrest of the men. It was
then -I p. in. , and the \vairants wore given to
Sheriff Ciolciner to bcrvc. The sheriff swore
in twenty deputy sheriffs , who , under com
mand ol Captain Owen KnvanauRh , pro
ceeded to the Puritan club rooms and stood
eiinrd over the building from 0 to 10 p. in. ,
when the crowd had disicrsi-d. |
Dixon and McCmthy would have been ar
rested at sight , The mananers of the Puri
tan club did everything to arrange matters
so the contest could proceed , hut notlnnir
could bo done. The Puritan club consulted
counsel and although Informed that it
would not bo legal to arrest the
men on the chureo that they were
about to commit n misdemeanor and con II no
them In Jail without ball , pemlliiK an investi
gation of the cliargo the authorities remained
obdurate and tbo club sorrowfully declared
the light off. _

egram to THE Hni.JVlieii : Albert Garvln
became warden of the state prison the other
day he made use of the experience ho had
pained at Jollet in the many years ho acted
as deputy- warden there , and made an
immediate search of the prison
cells and recesses both inside and
outside of the main building. The search revealed -
vealed nn astounding array of knives , MUIIR-
shots , hammers , daggers , stws and other Im
plements. Among the prisoners licro are the
famous Younger mothers and other dcspor-
ate and lawless criminals , and the finding ol
such weapons indicates that many convicts
were planning an escape. None of the knives ,
however , were found In the cells of the

Senator I'addock today nuthorl/ed the fiv
owing | stntcmoiit of his views as to the man-
101' In which the I'addock mire food bill now
lending would affect the packinghouses :
"It will not throw a straw In the pathway
of nny honestly conducted business In Chi-
ago or elsewhere. It Is aimed nt fraud and
Icceptlon only. Its object Is to protect the
mbllo against adulteration ; honest inixnu-
acturcrs against dishonest competition
; whleli the bill makes Illival ) , nnd to extend
ho export trade of the country by dellnitely
Ixingu standard for our export products
n my Judgment It will bo of very great bono-
It to every reputable Industry engaged In
he manufacture of food pro.lnetsorof drugs.
"The strong features of the hill , In my
opinion , nro the t-teur dellnltloiis ot what
shall constitute adulteration under the law ;
ho simple yet effective machinery for Us on-
'orcement ; Its universality of application !
ts unquestionable constitutionality , nnd the
certainty that it will have back of It the sup-
iort of commercial honesty ovoryv.-licro
hroiighout the country. "
"How will It affect food compounds ! "
"No food compound not Injurious to the
icnlth , nnd which is labelled as a compound ,
oines under the prohibitory clauses of tbo
till. The bill only requires that such articles
ihnil bo sold under proper designations nnd
tot ns imitations of other articles with a
view to deceive unsuspecting nurclmscrs.
t thus interferes with no trade marks or
iroprlctary articles known under distinctive
iiimcs in commercial transactions , in n'l- '
lition , the mire food bill provides
igalnst the fallibility of science ,
it allows appeals to the courts from the olll-
clal tests of the chemical division of the de-
larUncut of iigrlculturei and provides legal
md scientific safeguards against possible er
rors In the application of it-s provisions to
trade. There are no obnoxious levcnuo
stumps , no complicated machinery of spies
mil needless provisos of tagging , stamping or
registering. "

The interstate company's new brlilgo bill
s as good as law. It has been agreed upon
) y the conference committee widen accept'1 ! !
ho bill Just as it passed the somiteIt
only needs the formal sanction ol
the house and , being privileged matter ,
can be tinnlly nctoct upon at any moment. It
vill create no surprise if Dr. Mercer's '
Barnaul street bridge should KO through both
louses almost any hour. It has recui\cd
'avorablo committee action. Still another
oridgo bill In which Omaha is interested is.
ikelv to lie pushed through at this session.
U. ! * , Smith of Omaha is hero and wants a
aw to enable another corporation to bridge
.ho Missouri river on a line with Uouitlan and

i'os im.r. SIOIIIT\UIIS. : !
For ono reason and nnothot Hoprosentatlve
McIClnloy has about gene out of the public
mind at Washington as a probability in con
nection with the vacant secretaryship of the
treasury. It ts not believed that ho will bo
nominated to the ofllcc. Again the attention
if these who are most directly interested and
tlioso who nro best uciuiuluted with the inner
working of affairs turns to Senator Aldrich
of Hliode Islunil , After all ho appears to bo
the most available man. The senatorial term
of Mr. Aldrich does not e.xplru until March I
and tbo present legislature and state govern-
inentof Khodo island are dcn-ocratic.but there
will bo another election In April and the next
legislature may bo republican , so that Sen
ator Aldrich's successor would bo of like
political alllllution. It would bn very natural
for President Harrison to Invite Senator
Aldtlch to tuko the treasury portfolio , if It
could bo arranged , and the republicans In
the senate would not lose by tno transfer.
Mr. Aldrich , from every instinct , seems to
bo exceptionally well lltted for the place.
Ho has never had any connection with the
monopolies of Wall street or any financial
institution which would unpupularUo him
with the people , llo has always been
a merchant , man , dealing directly with
the people , ana of course , personally
interested in having the largest volutun of
the best money. lie is not considered a gold
standard man. Until very recently ho was
engaged In the grocery business nnd In all his
business dealings has como In direct contact
with the people , It is believed by his asso
ciates in congress tnat his hiich iua1lllcatious |
and general fitness for the position would
overcome any prejudice there might bo in the
west on account of Ids being u Now Kngland
man. Personally Senator Aldrich Is ono of
the most accessible and kindly of men. llo
would shed a ray of sunshine any where.
Michigan men have mentioned Senator
McMillan of their state. Ills term in the sen-
.nto . will not expire until March Is'.Ci
and the legislature and government of Michi
gan are democratic , but , owing to the splen
did Quullllcntlons of Senator McMillan , his
universal popularity in the Mate and the
compliment which his appointment would re
flect upon Michigan as n common wealth , mid
her people as a body , It is hollared that ( ! ov-
ernorVlnans would bo willing to let the sen
ator name tils successor. If such a thing can
bo arranged , the proposition to make Senator
McMillan secretary of the treasury would bo
very popular. Ho has had very wide busi
ness e.erlenco ] > of the most successful char
acter nnd in all Ids relations Is properly
equipped to make a most excellent head of
the treasury department.
Uenrebcntatlvo lien Hutterworth of Ohio ,
who Is ono of the best all round financiers ,
statesmen and politicians In the country , nnd
withal a popular fellow , Is mentioned bv the
Ohioans who have advised Major McIClnloy
against going Into the treasury. There nro
hundreds of letters nnd telegrams and other
communications from Ohio and other direc
tions lu favor of Ciovernor Charles Foster
and he continues to bo considered among the
probable men.
