BAD FOR BOSS BUCK.
Mob s P. Handy Said to Have An
Eye On Japan.
Washington, March 30.—C01. Buck
has struck a snag in his canvass to be
minister to Japan, and there is con
sternation in the Georgia contingent.
It is hard to say what the outcome
will be. The new applicant for the
position among the almond-eyed Japs
is no less a person than Col. Moses P.
Handy, one of the slickest and most
versatile promoters of the day, and
one whose personal alignments are
such as to make his canvass an exceed
ingly dangerous one for Buck. As
Moses P. Handy is the editor of the
Chicago Times-Herald, whose pro
prietor, Mr Kbhlsaat, is McKinley’s
closest friend, it will be seen that, he
has a strong pull, and one whioh is
not to be despised.

JENNINGS’ FEAT.
He Persists in His Determination to
the Alarm of His Friends.
Coroner Jennings refuses to be dis
suaded. He is firmly fixed in his dar
ing and somewhat dangerous purpose
to cross Newcastle street on a slender
rope.
The coroner secured the rope yester
day and also personally superintended
the construction of a balancing pole.
He has decided on another feature for
his performance, which will but add
to the solicitude of his friends as to
his personal safety.
“1 used to do a trapeze act in my
younger days,” he said, “and, if I can
get a;proper trapeze made, I will add a
few aerial turns to my performance on
the rope. I know,” said the coroner,
“that some people around here are
calling me a fool and crazy, and others
are thinking that I am goiug daft,
but I will show them that both their
fears and theirdoubis are uufounded.”
“When do you propose to give the
performance?” asked the reporter.
“I expect to get the rope stretched
today,” he said. “But 1 may not suc
ceed. If I don’t get all the arrange
ments made, 1 will, of course, have to
postpone the performance. Anyhow,
I expect to give it either Thursday or
Friday.”
The coroner is much in earnest. It
was reported yesterday that some of
his friends would apply for an in
junction, restraining him from mak
ing his hazardous attempt. The oor
oner had not heard of the intention
when asked by a reporter. He said he
would be surprised to know that his
frieDds had no better sense.
