The following are the views of Dr.

“Do-you favor organic union between
the two assemblies':” ashed the reporter.
“Yes, when the dililcult'es a:e, in the

' Washington, D. C., Mutco 20.—The
president has made the following nomi-
jiatjons:
: Frederick D. Grant, minister to
Austria.
John C. New, of Indiana, consul gen
eral at London.
Fall Thicker, of Texas, marshal for
the eastern district of Texas.
Seligman Bros., of London, special
fiscal agents of the navy department at
London.
The senate confirmed the following
nominations:
J. W. Wilson, commissioner of in
ternal revenue.
W. 8. Dunlap, of Indiana, marshal
of Indiana.
J. S. Burton, of Mississippi marshal
of northern district of Mississippi.
J. G. Leach,app: aiser at PhJadelphia.
W. B. Deacon, of New Jersey, mar
shal fo New Jersey.
Washington, D. C., March 20.—The
appointment of Whitelaw Reid, editor
of the New York Tribune, for minister
to France, last Tuesday, has given rise
to some very pretty gossip.
It appears that Mr. Blaine was de
termined that Reid should go to the
court of St. James, and.- President Har
rison was just as determined that he
should not. It became a question as to
who was running the administration,
$pd all the politicians who knew of the
j^ffair waited in breathless anxiety for
t^e result.
^Tuesday morning Mr. Blaine drove up
|o the White House with a deep frown
{fettled over his brow. He urged the
president to think better of his determin
ation, and talked long and earnestly of
the vast influence wielded by Mr. Ried
among the rank and file, and showed
conclusively that if Reid were sent to
.France, Murat Halstead would be cut
out entirely. Suddenly tbe premier
•topped short, and drawing himself up,
fiemanded point blank that the proposed
nomination be withheld. The president
knit his brows and remarked stiffly :
[ “Mr. Reid will go to Fiance.” That
settled it.
i Another instance of this kind is given
by a member of the importunate Illinois
delegation. Senator Fur well called sev
eral times to press a certain appoint
ment,'and each time Harrison tried to
evade the question directly, but Farwell,
who is a go ;d deal of a bulldozer, thought
he would! make an issue. He said: “Mr.
President, we are tired of this kind of
thing, coming around here day by day,
and going away without any satisfac
tion. Now. I want you to say yes or no,
whether you will appoint Mr. so-and so
to this post?”
Fromp.l Harrison closed his fist, and,
wi.h force, ha i.mered his desk and said:
“No, I will not.”
“Good day, Mr. President,” said the
inois statesmen; and th_-y took their
re. They told their experience'
to their intimates with great care an<i
vast inligna ioa all day yesterday ami
halt of to. day. They said they would
never again ask Harrison for anything
but t.:e pressure was too gnat for them
and they mode another trip to the Ex
ecutive Mansion and u ged A.e edith, of
Chicago, for public printer. They were
S iven assu. ances that sat sfied them that
[ereditii would be appointed.
Corporal Tanner has raked in the pen
8ion commissionership. He is not backed
by the New Yorkers nor by any senate
rial Lacking; but every fellow through
out the United States, whether deserv
ing or not, who wants a pension, wants
Tanner for commissioner.
Tom Ochiltree has been h.re fora
week or ten days back, and some super
ficial observers have been send ng out
thy report that he wanted the Mexican
mis ion and was looking after the claims
of Texas office-seekers. Tom does not
want the Mexican mission, because he is
aware that he could not get it. He is
pot helping the Texas office seekers, be
cause he could do them no good, and be
cause they don’t want to have anything
jto do with him. Tom would reaily like
Jo be consul general to Paris, but he
ptands no chance, as he has always been
fin anti-Blaine man. He is here looking
for a poker game, which he hits every
fmee in a while, and is paying very little
attention to politics. Tom is so familiar
with Texas politics that he is aware that
it would be useless for him to make an
S ffort to capture the Mexican mission,
t is the practice of the United States
hot to make a Texan minister to Mexico.
:orty years ago Houston and Rush, then
he Texan senators in congress, made a
adid effort to get the able and brill
at Bill Scurry made minister to Mex-
The government at that day de
as every administration since
aen declined, to send a Texan to repre-
ant this government at the halls of the
fontezumas. Four years ago an effort
> made to get Dick Hubbard bppoint
, t<rthe Mexican miss'on, bat the ad
" stration would not yield, and by
ly of compromise gave Hubbard
f ission of equal rank, that to Japan.
Tueeless for the Texans to strive for the
‘ixjcan miss'ou, they cannot get it, as
L pplicy of the state department is
i reason fpr the withdrawal of the
ition of Eugene Schuyler as as-
jmt secretary of state, is the request
ie senate. This action was taken on
it of an assault made by Mr.
Sfivler in his book entitled “American
iplpmacy of Elihu B. Washburn,” to-
Mher with reflections upon the admin'
Jgration of President Grant and the sen
VfV end also, it is said, on account of
charges affecting Schuyler’s personal
conduct in Europe.

VoitHul General New’s Career.
'Washington, D. C., March 20.—John
C. New, who war appointed consul gen
eral to London, was bom in Indiana in'
1831. His' father was a Campbvllite
minister. After graduating ait Bethany
college, West Virginia, in 1853, he
studied law, but he never practiced the
profession. _ His first political office was
a clerkship in the Marion county ^Jerk's
office, Indiana. The day after the death
of his superior he was made county
clerk. He engaged in banking and was
successful. W. H. English and he were
owners of the Fir^t National bank, In
dianapolis. They s old out at a large
S rofit. Mr. New and his son bought the
idianapol s Journal, which fought for
Harrison with great effect during the
last cam; a gn. The articles on finance,
which appear in this paper, and sire
largely quoted, are believed to Le from
the pen of Mr. New.
The public work perfoimed by John
C. New includes service as state senator,
ana as adjutant general of Indiana. In
.875 he was appointed United States
treasurer under President Grant. He
was subsequently assistant secretary of
the treasury under Mr. Folger.
Col. Fred Grant’s Mission.
Washington, D. C., March 20.—The
chief attributes of CoL Fred Grant foi
the position of Austrian minister, would
be apt to weigh very heavily with the
president. He has not the reputation oi
beiug addle-headed, but as far as service
to the government is concerned, he hat
got to achieve distinction. He is, how-
e.er, the son of' his esteemed father,
which would entitle him to some gift ai
the presdent’s hands. Mr. Harrison al
ways re; ogoizes official aristocracy.
Grant’s appoin ment cuts off another
of Editor Halstead's chances, and that is
aboat the extent of the harm done. .

Early yesterday morn'ng Norton
Chicago, Ill., March 20.—John C.
Klein, the newspaper correspondent who
recently achie ved international celebrity 1
through his part in the Samoan affair, is ! where
in the city. Last night he was tendered j "If
an informal reception by the Chicago ( w hat
club, and declares he will remain
ere several days among his friends.
Speaking about the state of affairs at
Samoa, Mr. Klein said :
“Ihe Germans make light of tlie
American navy, but I tell you they were
not very aggressive when the stars and
stripes waved in their faces. Why,
when they took Gillan off the Richmond,
on the ground that he was a spy, Capt.
Geogte st-n and Capt. Hand sent word
that if he was not returned at once
they would board the Adler with an
armed force and trike him, and Gidan
was promptly restored. Dr. Enappe,
the German consul, used to walk up and
down the beach every day and inspect
Matafaa’s boats. Oh, how they wanted
to blow them up, but they did not dare
to. Tlieynvere in neutral waters, and
they knew that to touch those boats
meant a fight. Their manner toward
every one and everything that vas not 1
German or allied to the Germans was as >
offensive as it could be. They would i
scowl at any *cne they saw about the
American consulate and make all s. rts
of offensive remarks about them.”
“What sort of people are the Samo
ans?”
“'lhey are a kind, good-natured peo
ple, and, unlike many of the nations on
the islands, they will fight against the
Europeans. Most of the islanders ac
knowledge without questic n Ei ro; ean
supremacy, and Whatever wh'te men
want they may have for the taking; but
you know American and European ves
sels have teen there so much, and they
so much trading with the

Dr. Howard Crosby said: “I do not
faver the proposed union. The Northern
Assembly 1 consider too large now. The
church can do more good by. work ng
through small bodies. The idea of hav
ing the whole church governed by one
judiciary is, in my opinion, a mistake.
A single organic church may become too

was withing 100 yards. Then it Lashed them, would treat
through his mind, instantly, that it was
the intention of Starkworth to meet h'm

whipped up his horses to their highest
speed. His pursuer called upon him to
stop, but the warning was not heeded.
An instant later a shot was fired, and
the bullet whizzed alongside his head.
This spurred him to redouble his efforts.
He applied the whip vigorously. Pur
sued and pursuer raced for nearly a mile,
when Starkworth fired a second shot.
Gradually Norton's team drew away
from his enemy and dashed into town at
a fearful rate, running o. er dogs and
everything that chanced to be ia the
way. When he sighted a policeman he
stopped his horses, explained the cir
cumstances to him, and a'.out 25 minutes

Denver, Col., March 20.—A. R. Ar-

LED A DOUBLE LIFE.
Death of a Prominent Citizen of Detroit
Develops Such a State of Affairs.
Detroit, Mich., March 20.—Moses W.
Field, founder of the greenback party in
Michigan, capitalist, regent of the state
university, and a well known business
man, was buried on Saturday. He left
an estate variously estimated at from a
ua: ter of a million to a million dollars.
Yesterday morning, in the Wayne cir
cuit court, his wife and children filed a
bill of complaint against Mary Goring
and John Go ing, charging them with
disposing of $150,000 worth of property
which, it is alleged, was given to Mary
Goring by Mr. Held without conside*a-
tiou, and through conspiracy and undue
influence.
The facts behind the suit are alleged to
i „e that Mr. Field led a double life with
Mrs. Goring, and transferred property
and money to her almost on call. Abo.it
$10,000 of the property is still get-at-
able, if the courts rule that it was im
properly obtained. Judge Hosmer en
joined the Gorings from disposing of the
property.

in which he cerved 23 years. He was at

Mayor Grant Receives a Letter Asking
Permission for Another Flag Raising.
New York, March 20.—The following
letter, asking to have the British flag
displayed on St. George's Day as the
a ish flag was Monday, has been sent to
ay or Grant:
My Lear Sir—Fully apprcc'ating the
liberality of your views in permitting
the Irish flag to be placed over tlie city
hall on St. Patrick’s Day, I respectfully
make application to you on behaif of a
large number of British-born A merican
citizens that the English flag may also
be floated over the same building on St.
George's Day.
I am \ ours with respect,
Davison Dalzell.
The mayor, however, no longer has
authority over the city hall flags. The
aldermen withdrew * it from Mayor
Hewitt's hands and resumed it them
selves. The application should be pre
sented to the board of aldermen. They
may by resolution direct the keeper of
the city ball to hoist the British flag, or
they may request the ma or to direct
the keeper to do, it. The mayor might
veto the resolution, and a two-thirds
vote would pass it over the veto. Then,
if the resolution was’ an order to the
keeper, the keeper would hoist the flag.
If it was a re ; uest to the mayor, he
would do as he pleased about obliging
the aldermen* April 2cd is St. George’s

Baltimore, Md., March 20.—The triai
of Capt. C. T. Beacliamp, of the oyster
boat Z. E. Beacliamp, for cruelty to sail
ors under his command, which was be
gun in the United States court, has
brought out startling statements. John
K&vaiek, a sa lor on Capt. Beachamp’s
boat, stated that the captain had offered
to increase his pay if he would consent
to throw two worthless hands overboard.
Thi- testimony produced a decided effect

It 1* Thought that After Milan Leave* the
Army it may be Expected.
Belgrade, March 20.—The report has
obtained currency here, and has gained
credence in the highest military circles,
that King Milan, following' his abdica
tion of the crown, is also about to resign
his position as commander-in-chief of the
army of Servia. So marked has become
the disaffection of the people toward the
unthroned monarch for his treatment of
the unhappy but beloved Queen Natalie,
that a movement inviting her to return
to the capital has been set on foot, and it
is said it is favored by the Servian board
of regents who have been appointed to
act during the minority of the young
King Alexander. Should Queen Natalie’s
return be approved by the Russian court,
Mil n could no longer dwell within Bel
grade. and would probably seek an asy
lum in Greece.

voters, aided by a factional fight at the
last city election, has assumed the posi
tion to which he was elected. A large
crowd attended the council meeting. In
his speech the new major said that no
wrohg had thus far resulted from the
election, and with the help of the coun
cil he would administer the affairs of
the city to the best of his ability, and
believed that, with patience, all would
be well, m spjte.of the fears some had

Reported for Duty.
Philadelphia, March 2( .—The Ath

duty to-day. Manager Sharsig says the
outlook for the season is unusually prom

The Dlayers include Robinson, Smith,
Purcell. Lyons, Gunning, Curt Welch,
Seward, Gleason and Bauer.
Professor Billy McLean will put the
men through a course of calisthenics and
gymnastics for a week, after that they
will begin ball practice. He says that
the Athletics will be in good shape to
meet the Phillies in the local series, and
it is more than probable that a series of
? ones will be played with the New
orks. A delegation, including repre
sentatives of all the local clubs, will leave
here in time to greet the Spalding crews
upon their arrival in New York, and
join in the reception to* be accorded to
the teams after their brilliant all around

To Establish a Botanic Garden.
New York, March 20.—A special
meeting will be held here, by those in
terested in the movement, to establish
the proposed public botanic garden in
Bronx park. The project meets with the
heartiest encouragement from leading
public men. George William Curtis,
who is among the warmest supporters
of the enterprise, declares that until
New York has such a 1 otanic garden as
the Terry club proposes, the city will
lack one* of the chief distinctions of a
great metropolis. The plans already de
termined upon, if successfully carried
out, of which little doubt is entertained,
will secure to the empire city a finer in
stitution of its character than the famous
botanical gardens of London and Paris,
or those possessed by any of the cities of
central Europe.
