CABINET WHISPERINGS
WHO WILL BE THE NEW INCUMBENTS
AN ANXIOUS QUESTION.
Civil Service Law—The Retiring President
and Cabinet and Their Future —Con
gressional Doings—Penchant
Political Pointers.
Warrington, Feb. 19. —Nothing ha.* given
the democrats greater dissatisfaction than the
indication that the cabinet will not be made
up by and for the national committee. Soon
*/ter the election these gentlemen began to
ajwuine airs of proprietorship and a desire for
direction in affairs. The first conference
with the pi esideut-elect demolished this super
ficial political structure. Men who had been
assuming to be very intimately acquainted with
Mr. Cleveland s plans were suddenly revealed
as political pretender*. Some denv icrats are
wondering how it is possible for Mr. Cleve
land, a man sUn Wlt hout
edge about prominent men in the party, to
know whom to take into hi* confidence. They
have discovered that he has unexpected abil
ity to diftCTtnunate.
No one regards the slate reported from Al
bany a* at ah the sort of alate that Barnum.
Gorman and Joua* would have sent to the
•mate They would pndmbiy haw allowed
turn to ake Mt. Bayard, but they xould net er
bn re recommended Mr Manning for the
tnasurr.
Mr Bayard, who is now in Delaware, has
tutormed his friends here that ho will not lie
back in Washington until after a visit to his
home At the jirvsent juncture it is generally
utmlbtsV -od to be prompted by a desire to
telnet his burctNSor to the senate.
All the cabinet makers still agree in retain
ing Mr Garland's name on their slates.
Mr. Ixtmar’i name continues to be men
tioued in connection with both the depart ment
of the interior and the postoffice, although by
miw well informed people it Is considered
doubtful whether he will be asked to fill either
position. He acknowledges with frankness
that he is naturally of an indolent tempera
ment. Whether Mr. Cleveland and his ad
visers want a man of that character in the
poetoffice department seems doubtful, it beems
settled that it is to go for a southern man,
but whether Lamar will prove active and en
■rgotic enough to satisfy the demands of tlw
‘‘hungry" democracy is another question.
The objection will lie raise* 1 in the ca.se jC
the interior department that, like the |>»Jr
office department, it is a political lever of r.o
mean projM>rtioua. The general impression is
that it will l)e confined only to a man of en
argy, discretion and undoubted fidelity to the
Interests of Mr. Cleveland.
Daniel Manning still leads the list of aspir
ints for the treasury, while Thunran, Mc-
Donald and V'ilas come in for anything that
» left after Bay ard, laumr and Garland are
provided for.
Senator Pendleton denies that he lias writ
ten a letter te Mr. Cleveland in favor of
Judge Thurman for a pla*?e in the cabinet.
Affair* at Albany.
Albany, N. Y., Feb. 19 —Mr. Cleveland’s
wlr visitors wen* ex-Lieut. Gov. I.'nderwood,
>f Kentucky, and three Maine gentlemen,
Col. W. A Cromwell, chairman of the state
committee; Gen. H. D. Leavitt and J. F.
Lynch. The gentleman from Kentucky came
to town on busineMi connected with one of the
gate departments and lie would not have
dared to return to h*s own state without see
ing the presidentelect The editor of the
German newspaper of Chicago, the Staate
Seitung, Mr A C. Hating, will visit Mr.
Cleveland soon.
An adjournment of the legislature during
the week of the inauguration is much derind
by a number of the democrats. They* art
talking up the subject with the republicans.
Au arrangement will probably be made to al
low the democrats to get away by pairing or
pt,l tieal questions.
The Great Men Going Out.
Washington, Feb. 19.—The uniform prac
fire under the civil service law’ has been t>
routine the operation of it to clerks lietween
the lowest and highest grades up to 11,800 jm»x
•nnuni. Above that grade examinations
have not hitherto been required, though j»er
ansrible under the law. AU the departments
ire now regrading the clerk* so as to bring in
hese outriders, and plainly with the intention
embarastring Mr. Cleveland at the very
■tart But it may be found they are over-
Somg this business of protecting i>ortisan-< in
□db-e, who are unworthy of any confidence
■r h-snity.
The jirwiderrt and cabinet are preparing to
give up the places which they would fondly
Jing to. Gen. Arthur is to open u law office
•n New York.
Mr Frriinghuysen looks forward to a prov
identia! turn of the wheel of political fortune
by which h<* may get ba ‘k tn the senate.
Mr. McCulloch will settle down on his farm
in Mary land, bring ind<*jiendent in fortune.
Mr. Teller has had the good luck to lie
elected to the senate, despite Mr. Hill’s vio
lent opposition.
Mr. Lincoln will resume his law partnership
with Mr. Isham, of Chit ago, which he reilm
fuished against his own judgment.
Mr. Chandler wiU return to the lobby,
as the agent of John Roach, he was a
tonspicuou* figure for many years.
Mr. Brewster will seek to revive his law
prmtice in Philadelphia, and has rented a
very modest bouse in that city to pursue it.
Mr. Hatton has a newsr»aper to fall back
gyon, and the affectionate support of the Bur
t Agton and Quincy railroad.
The break in the personal relations between
ftp president and Mr. Conkling has not been
healed, though friends have intervened with
the hope of bringing about a reconciliation.
The f .nxter tenns are not likely to be re
gored.
It may be said here that the president never
urg«l or recommended the late Judge Folger
Io be a candidate for governor. His judg
ment was adverse to that step on account of
the divisions in the republican party. The
judge had l***n pei’suadeii by other friends
hhat sucxnms might be attained without diffi
culty; and his ambition accorded with their
pen-nasion against more candid advice, and
rven remonstrance.
Senate.
Washington, Feb. 19.—The satiate ra
the consideration bill to “quit title” for
the Des Moines river lands.
Mr Lapham continueii his opposition to
the bill, and th* time was until
the foreign cc-utract labor bill came up before
the senate.
In the course of the debate Mr. McPherson
made a statement which was received with
exclamatioo* of surprise by Senator George
and othera He said on representation being
made that laborers in glass factorise were not
sufficiently protected, congress increased the
duty on gter®ware, whereupon manufacturers
taimediatriy demanded ioborers should submit
to a reduction of ten per cent, of their wages.
When the men refused, the mauufactureni
firrf Belgians to take the of
those shut out; when that did not work, they
imported goods and paid duty on them in or
der to kee|* their own men out of employ
ment. From this, he deduced were other
rrite than those named in the hill, a<am*J
Irw i 1
which it was necef®ary T to protect the wo**k
ingmen. They’ should be protected from com
binations afid manufacturers which pre
vented their receiving a fair share of the I»en
efits of tariff.
The amendments offered by Mr. Laphani,
striking out from the bill the provirisions that
one-lialf of the penalties recovered should go
to the person bringing suits for violations of
law, practically limiting the power of the
prosecution under an act to United States
district attorney's, were adopted, and, on mo
tion of Mr Blair, it was made the duty of
United States district attorneys to pn»secute
these eases at the expense of rhe Tinted
States.
Mr. Hawley moved to refer the whole bill
to the judiciary committee, with instruction*
to report not later than the 20th inst., a bill
which should more effectually reach the ends
aimed at. It was lost The bill was then
jxissed.

Oliver Rro«. Will Remove Their Work*
from South B« n<l t«» YndlanapollM.
South Bend, Feb. 19—A delegation of
< itizens waited upon Messrs. James and Jo
n.*]>h Oliver, and prewinted them with the tes
timonial recently circulated and signed by
ieoiling citizens of South B-nd, irrespective
of jiarty. The delegation met at the court
house and marched to the rosideno? of Mr.
I liver, two or three hundred strong, repre
wuling the best elemen'aof the community.
The delegation was headed by ex-Mayor
Torg, who presented a lengthy address, set
ting forth tlie ho;s» that the Olivers
w ou'd not find it necessary to remove their
works from Sou' < Bend. Mr. James Oliver
r sponded. He *M evidently deeply moved,
j u> said:
“ uly friends I thank you from the bottom
of my heart for this testimonial of your con
fidence and g-xx! will. I wish I might find
language to <-xpress more fully the gratitude 1
feel, but, get tiemen on do not understand,
end I can not expla n to you our situation.
My son and I have can vacsexl ibis subject from
e'» ery star'l point, and I say to you that we
can come to no other conclusion than that we
must leaze this place.”
Mr, Oliver cea-ed srieaking and rtood with
bowed bead. The delegation was thunder
struck, and for fully a minute no one moved
or spo’.e. The ultimatum was so unexpected,
and couched in such unmistakable terms, that
those who heard it were completely dumb
founded. Finally somebody relived the situa
tion by bidding Mr. Oliver goxi-night and
passing out. The delegation followed, and
the imerview, so brief and so unsatisfactory,
w as at an end.
If the decision of the .Messrs. Oliver is car
ried out the works will go to Indianapolis.

trains are expected to bring m all the absent
members of the legislature, and the first test
ballot is expected to be had v<>ry soon. It is
believed Morrison and his friends have come
to the conclusion that he can not be eltx.-ted,
and it is expected another caucus will »xm be
held by the democrat. John H. Olierly’s
name is most generally mentioned for the
candidacy in case it is decided to drop Mor
rison's name. It is generally accepted that
the republican programme is to prevent an
election and secure Gen. Logan in his seat for
two years by the governor's appointment

INCENDIARIES IN FLORIDA.
Houses Wantonly Set on Fire, and Jack
sonville’s Unenviable Experience.
Jacksonville, Feb. 19.—The city of Jack
sonville has lieen sorely affiictei with all sorts
of evil-doers during the present w inter. In
the very beginning of the season the gamblers
and bunko, or confidence men, sw armed the
streets and relieved strangers of their money
with remarkable facility and success. The
city new’spai>ers united in a determined fight
upon these swindlers, followud them to their
dens and exposed their l<x*ation so thoroughly
that the bunko men left the city for New
Orleans. Immediately upon the heels of these
malefactors came a series ol daring burglar
ies in different portions of the town. In sev
eral instances the occupants were fired at with
deadly intent by the des|>erate midnight rob
ber. With great diligence and energy the
police went to work and ferreted out and
In-ought to justice a majority of the gang of
inqxirted villains engages 1 in these affairs.
Now a new dangtT threatens the city. For
several weeks there have occuiTed a series of
conflagrations be'aring the plain mark of the
incendiary. On Friday night the home of
Mr. W. M. Dancy, mayor of the city, was
burned to the ground. An empty keroeeno
can under the front steps told how it was
done. About 2 o’clock, the large
threo-rtory block of Mr. J. G. Percival, on
U nion street, w as m full blaze before any alarm
was given. It wba a Florida pine building and
burned rapidly, making a tremendous blaze.
Before it had fallen the flames had communi
cated themselves to two adjacent residences
fronting on Hogan street, which were burned
to the ground. Next the lieautiful cottage home
of Mr.T.T. Stockton was consumed. The house
of Mr. Clark, of the Florida Herald, caught
fire from the blaze, but w’ere extinguish»xl by
heroic efforts of the firemen. The fire raged
for three hours, and before it wbs checked
nearly the whole of one of the most popular
blocks of the city wore destroyed, and eight
families were homeless.
The families in the tenement escaped in
tbeir night clothes into the unusually cold
night, and a gieat deal of serious suffering
wa; experienced. 3'he fire originated ir
apartments vacate! two days a . < by Mr
Frank Pope, late independent cand date fm
! governor of Florida. They had no! been on
cupied since. It is generally concedt >1 that
the fire originate! from the same in-- nd.ary
who fired the mayor's residence. Il wa t
w th fell design in the very thickest por! i<>‘i
of the city, in a direct line with th* 1 it:d,
1 arid nothing but a lucky shower of ram sav d
i !-ie whole town from dcslnicJon. 'i here are
une grave suspicions centering upon a well
nown citizen, and if they can bo subshmtia
. led a lynching is not improbable. The citi
; ens are much excited, and a vigibui ■<- c >:n
j mittee is being discussed. The lossi ; by the
fire a; regate $50,(100, with about in

OLD LOVE RETURNED.
A Caso Where Sad Real ty is l u kI ranger
Than Painted Fiction.
I .Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 19 —'lltree years
ago Frank Whiting was sent for three, years
|o> the northern prison at Michigan City. Af
t<u'his imprisonment his wife obtained adi
I vorce and married Win. 11. Springer, who
adopted her child by Whiting, and by whom
| she bad another. About two weeks ago
| Whiting’s term expired and h» returned to
'thiscity and hunted up his former wife.
Springer became jealous of the cx-husband’s
1 attentions and upon expostulating with his
wife he was told that all her old love for
Whiting had returned and that she preferred
him. Springer threatened to kill Whiting,
and on Sunday the latter mot Springer and
said: “Both of us can’t live on this earth.
Arm yourself and we will shoot until one or
the other falls, the survivor to have the lady.”
This proixjsition was not aweptable to
Springer, and after a discussion he agrwxl to
abdicate. The two men met in the justice’s
office and the details were arranged by which
Springer j>ays half the costs of prosecution
and dismissal, and he and Whiting left arm
in arm, the latter accompanying Springer to
his home to assist him in removing his per
sonal effects. A divorce suit will follow,
after which Mrs. Springer will return to
Whiting.

THE GERMS OF CHOLERA
AN INTERESTING AND IMPORTANT EX
HIBITION MADE.
The Moat Important Theory of the IMagu**
Past 1* Given by the Celebrated Dr.
Koch, of Berlin, Germany —
Cholera in America.
Chi (’ago. Feb 19.—The germs ol Asiatte
cholera, according to the theory advanced by
Hit celebrate i Dr. Koch, of Berlin, have lieen
exhibited al the various meetings of the
Chicago Medical Society by Dr. McArthur
and other professors.
Dr. K<x’h has devoted more time and study
to the solution of the cholera problem than
any other physician, and from the fact that
he has so far established his theory over all
opposing ones, and successfully met all argu

coining summer. Kock’s “comma bachillus
of Asiatic cholera” a.-* the shape of a comma,

about 1,000 times. 1 bey can be taken into
the stomach with water, and although very
few may be swallowed, their power of repro

Bcti, caused by the presence of these

In the air or the clothing. Moisture is an 1

Koch, in his exjH'rimentfi, carried this com '
ua bachillus through many generations, and

prove his theory, he caused a dog to take the ;
into his stoma, h. Death resulted in •
three days. Dr. McArthur received the
bachillus from Dr. Koch’s laboratory but a
few days ago, ami they are the first ever ex- ,
