Will He Succeed Justice Matthews, and ‘Will Mr. Clarkson Have a Portfolio? It is stated on authority that ought to be un- questionable that the President has determined upon the appointment to the vacant supreme justiceship and that Secretary Noble has been chosen for the place. As stated a day or two ago in Tax Star, it was decided that Attorney General Miller would not be appointed. Attention was then turned to Secretary Tracy, but there was objec- tion to appointing a New York man, and, more- over, Mr. Tracy was not anxious for the place. SECRETARY NOBLE THE MAN. It is now said to be settled that Secretary Noble is to be appointed associate justice of the Supreme Court to succeed the late Justice Mat- thews. This leaves a vacancy in the cabinet, which will be filled by the APPOINTMENT OF MR, CLARKSON, now first assistant postmaster general, The only part of the plan that is not definitely settled is whether Clarkson will goin as Secretary of the Interior or whether Wanamaker will be transferred to that piece and Clarkson made Postmaster Genera! WOODS VS, MILLER. From the first the President has wanted to appoint Attorney General Miller to the Su- preme Bench, but this has been opposed by the powers that control in Indiana, who in- sisted upon the appointment of Judge Woods of the circuit court. The President held to his idea of appointing Miller until it became ap- parent that to doso would make a breach in the party in Indiana; or, at least, cause discon- tent that would amount to the same thing. Only within the past few days was it decided that Miller should not be appointed. THE CLARKSON PROBLEM SOLVED, The selection of Mr. Noble not only settles the controversy over this place, but solves the Problem that has been more or less vexing, what to do with Mr. Clarkson's ambition to get into the cabinet. Mr. Clarkson's friends have always held that he was induced to take the position of assistant only through the under- standing that he was to be promoted after awhile. But the men put into the cabinet seemed so content to stay there that, except by such a move as the one now decided on, there appeared but little prospect of a vacancy. the present plan settles all this. It is expected that the public announcement of the new deal will be made on the President's return from Indiana, where he goes on the 22d, thongh it may possibly be delayed untii the meeting of Congress in extra session. SECRETARY NOBLE DENIES. Notwithstanding the strong authority for the statement, Secretary Noble denies that he is to go on to the Supreme bench, and says that the report to-day was the first he had heard of it. THE ENGINEER COMMISSIONER. Who Will Succeed Major Raymond?— Col. Wilson’s New Post. The outlook at present is that the changes in the engineer corps of the army will not be announced until the return of the President late next week, The appointment of Col. Wilson as superin- tendent of the military academy is understood to be agreed upon and the delay in its an- nouncement is but the result of the other con- siderations that arise when he is moved from his present post. There isa vague feeling among service men that the problem that is giving the most trouble is the selection of anew engineer com- missioner for the District of Columbia, Major Oswald H. Ernst has been the favorite in the field heretofore. and had his name been re- ceived by the President with favor he probably would have been given the billet befora now. But other names fave come to his ears, and now it is thought that Major Ernst is not so promising a candidate after a officer most significantly spoken of just at present is Lieut. Col. Samuel M. Mansfield. ANOTHER REPUBLICAN SPLIT. Two Chairmen for One Mahone Commit- tee in Alexandria County. Although the differences between the Ma- hone and anti-Mahone leaders in the republi- can ranks in Virginia have been reconciled, Alexandria county adds another chapter to the party troubles in the Old Dominion. The con- test there is over a chairmanship. Mr. T. H. Sypherd, it appears, claims to be the regularly appointed chairman of the county committee by the Mahone republican faction, and his ap- pointment, it is claimed, was acceptable to the opposing faction, Justice Drummond, a col- ored magistrate who holds court at the brick yards, was an aspirant for the chairmanship, and not having been appointed he concluded that he would be made chairman without the aid of the party leaders. He called a meeting of colored republicans, who elected him chair- man of the county committee. In the mean- time Chairman Sypherd sent for Justice Drummond to tender him a position on the committee. Much to the surprise of Sypherd he was informed by the colored justice that he (Drummond) was about to tender him (Sypherd) such a position, Neither has as yet accepted the tender of the other, but the matter will probably be adjusted without being referred to the President, Civil Service Examinations.

The Pennsylvania State Republican Convention. THE BLACK DIAMOND CASE. Burke Said to be One of Cronin’s Actual Murderers. —_———. PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICANS, They Meet in Convention at Harrisburg To-day. Harrispurc, Aug. 7.—There was music in the air this morning and the sun shone re- splendently as the delegates to the republican state convention awoke from their peaceful slumbers and began to stir about the hotels. During the night all the tardy delegates had arrived and at 10 o'clock the appearance of a band in front of headquarters at the Lochiel hotel indicated that the time had come for the actual business of the convention. After listening to the inspiring strains of the band for half an hour the delegates and spectators started for the opera house, where so many conventions have been held. interior was elaborately decorated with flags and bunting and the spectacular effect was decidedl; pleasing. It was a delightfully cool morning anda refreshing breeze made things comfortable for the convention. Cheers eeted Chairman Andrews, Senators Boise, enrose, Walter Lyon, Senator Delamater, Major &. A. Montooth, who was a substitute delegate, and others as they made their way to seats near the stage. Chairman Andrews sat near the front of the stage and was almost hidden by an immense basket of flowers which some one had placed on the desk before him. Newspaper men und a privileged few occupied the remaining seats on the platform, CALLED TO ORDER. When Chairman Andrews called the conven- tion to order at 10:35 most of the delegates were in their seats. The secretary first read the call for the convention and then the roll of delegates. There were few absentees and not more than half a dozen substitutions. On motion of Mr. Penman of Lackawanna couuty the following were unanimously elected temporary officers of the convention: Walter Lyon, Allegheny, chairman; Frank Willig Laech, Philadelphia, secretary; Henry Huhn, J, O, Edelblut and John W. Morrison, assistant secretaries; Wm. Blair, Pittsburg, sergeant-at- arms, ‘The usual minor officers were also elected. CHAIRMAN LYON’S SPEECH. Mr. Lyon was conducted to the platform and, on being introduced to the convention by Chairman Andrews, said he could but thank the convention for the honor it had conferred co the county of Allegheny in selecting one of her delegates to preside. Since last the re- publican party of the state of Pennsylvania had assembled in convention the great contest be- tween the two great parties of the nation had been fought and with no uncertain voice had the verdict of the people upon the question at issue been rendered. The chair that was oc- cupied by Grover Cleveland when this conven- tion last met is now occupied by a man in whose honor, integrity, wisdom and triotism the confidence and trust of the people repose, the republican soldier, rotectionist President, our own Benjamin farrison. We not only rejoice in the part the republican party of Pennsylvania has taken in bringing this about, but we also rejoice in the fact that to the republican party of Pennsylva- nia is due the credit of furnishing the great political general, under whose leadership the victory was won. And on the assembling of this, the first convention since the victory of 1888, we can congratulate ourselves on the har- mony which prevails in our party. Dissen- sions, discords and factions are rapidly disap- pearing, and to-day we are assembled stronger than ever we were in the history of the party in this state, Upon the conclusion of Mr. Lyon's speech Senator Penrose offered a resolution, which was adopted, providing thet all communica- tions relating to the platform be referred to the committee on resolutions without amendment or debate, After appointment of committees on perma- nent ceemnecee and resolutions the conven- tion took a recess, ——_--___ THE BLACK DIAMOND CASE. Her Owners Instructions to Her Cap- tain—The Prize Crew to Sail for Sitka. Vicrorta, B. C., Aug. 7.—Albert Frank, the owner of the Black Diamond arrived from San Francisco yesterday. He was not much sur- prised to find his vessel at anchor in the har- bor. He and all other sealing owners had given their captains instructions to resist cap- ture to the utmost. In case of seizure and prize crew being put aboard the captains ‘were, Saree to :vring the schooner, prize crew and all, to Victoria. Colléctor of Customs Hamley has Lieut. Tuttle’s letters of instruc- tions to the marine, John Hawkins, who was put in charge of the Black Diamond, and this with full information be has forwarded to the tuinister of customs, Ottawa. He and Vice Consul Marvin both say they knowof no action being taken by either government. Hawkins, the prize crew, sails for Sitka on the mail steamer Acon Friday to rejoin the Rush. He has enjoyed his visit, was the sub- ject of considerable chaff, but he hold his end down. It was proposed by some to arrest and prosecute him for piracy, but this foolish idea was scouted by cooler heads. Other schooners of the Victoria fleet are expected to arrive at any moment, and they will bring important news. —_>___ FLORENCE MAYBRICK GUILTY. That is the Jury’s Verdict and She is Sentenced to Death, Lrvearoot, Aug 7.—The jury in the case of Mrs. Florence Maybrick has found her guilty of the murder of her husband.

BRACKETT AND MAYOR HART RECEIVE HIM. Faxx River, Mass., August 7.—The steamer Pilgrim, with President Harrison and Secreta- riesWindom and Proctor on board, arrived here atdo'clock this morning.
