Wasnixatox Buneav or tie Bree, ) 513 FounTerNTn STREET, Wasixaros, D. C., April 19, | Frank P, Irelana of Nevraska City is here hobnobbing with democrats. He professes to believe tho domocrats will carry Nebraska this yoar. Hesays: “I don't know oxactly what the democratic program will be out thero, but my opinion is it will ba the bost sort of politics to join hands with the alliance and belp them carry the presidential electors. ‘We are not wedded to any particular candi- date for the presidency, though there is a strong feoling, that is growing constantly, that it would be in the highest degres uusafe to uominate Mr. Cleveland. | am no enemy of the ex-president, but on the contrary entortain tho highest roa rd " for him. He is popular in Nebraska, but it is too apparent that ho would bo unable to carry New York state, our sine qua non of success. Just hero I want to correct a fallacy that is being re. peated a good deal of late. Some of Mr. Clovelana’s friends are saying he will get the nomination without New York; in fact will bs chosen before New York is called at the convention. These peopls forget that by A== democratic usage it takes a two-thirds vote o nominate and that this could not be had prior to tho call of the Impiro state, but it ought always to be remembered that the do mocrncy is ot given to one-man worship and has plenty of presidential timber. What's the matter with Gorman or Car- Risle?” avored in Army Circles, The nomination of Colouel Frank Wheaton to ba brigadier genoral in tho place of Gen- eral August Kautz, retired, sent to tho sen ate today, gives universal satisfaction in Washington. Colonel Andrews, who ranled hizh on tho list of colonels of infantry, was ordered home to await rotirement several days ago, thus leaving Colonel Wheaton the ranking active colonel of infantry in tho army. His promotion is therefore in the line of the poticy which President Harrison has attempted to follow during the past threo years, namely, to make army promotions by Bsouiority in every case whera controlling rea sons have not existea for going further down the line. Colonel Wheaton presented a record of service unexcelled by that of any of the contestants for the place. He had enterea the army from civil life be- fore the war as a graduate of Brown univers- ity in Rhode Island; had served in the topo graphical engineer corps in establishing tho boundary line between Mexico and the United States, and was a captain of tho Fourth cavairy a month before the war broke out. Colonel Wheaton at onco raised a regiment of infantry in Rhode Island and joined the Army of the Potomac, where his record of gallant and officient service is written in successive promotions and honorable brevets, Within a year ho was a brigadier general of voluuteers and participated in every engage- ment, both of the Army of the Potomac and in operations in the Shenandoah valloy. He was repeatediy mentioned in orders and left the volunteer service as a brovet major general 10 accept at tho close of the war a lieutenant coloneley of Thirty-ninth infantry. Irom 1866 until his present well diracted pro- motion General Wheaton has boon engaged in active sorvice on the frontier, partici- pating 1o most of the important Indian cam- aigns, engaged in policeing tho frontior and n rendering safo the rapid march of civ flization in that vast region which lies bo- tween the Missourt and tho Pacific coast. Genera) Wheaton’s claims were, as stated 10 a Bee special last night, earnestly pressed by the Nebraska delegation, Senator Man- derson particularly interesting himself in bis behalf and securing for him tho endorse: ment of more than a third of the senate. Tho Rbode Islund delegation also pressed his candidacy. It1s belioved that tho vacancy made by General Stanley's forthcoming ve- tirement will be filled by tho promotion of Goneral Eugeno A, Carrof the Sixth cay- ry, now stationed at Fort Niobrara. Rusk on Billy Goats, Secrotary Ruslk is in favor of the proposi- tion to import from Turkey alot of thorough- bred Angora goats for the purpose of intro ducing thom into this country, as they can bo raised by our farmers with' great profit, buthe zots back upon tha ‘economical’ policy of the present house of representa- tives by declaring that thereisno excuse for following the policy proposed by a well xnown democratic member and import the foats at government expense, and then breod hem upon government lands and distribute them out at government hands, gratis. He thinks that this would boe paternalism with a vengeance. in & lettor which he has sent to Sydenham ~._B. Alexander of North Carolina, a member the house committes on agriculture, and in referring to the bill providing for the im- portation of tho festive biily and nannie goat of the Angora breed and their propogation at government oxpense, Secvetar Rusk says: T understand that the Otwoman empiro does, as alleged, prohibit tho exportation of Angora goats from its domiuions, and ap- reciating fully tho importance ef tho indus- ry wn this country, I should be heartily in favor of our government's doing what might, be in 1ts power to obtain from the Turkish overnment the privilege for American reeders of importing Angora goats during a certain time and within a certain manner, but I cannot see any good reason for the es- tablishment, under the ausp:ces of the na- tional government, of an Augora goat-breed- Ing farm, to be maintained out of the na- tional treasury. I caunot seo why- the breedors of this particular animal should bo entitled to aid of this kind, which has not been afforded to the breeders of any other pure blood stock.” Miscellaneous.

Byrnes o vartnorof Ed Koen in the publication of & aisroputable sheet, rau up against a buzz saw in motion in the county jail Monday aftornoon, with tho usual results. Byraes and his wife have boon at the county jail frequently during the past few woeks visiting . A. Koon, who is in jail awaiting sentence for criminai libel, of which charge he was couvicted in tho dis- trict court. Jailer Miller and his deputies have ex- tonded every courtesy to the visitors, but this did not protect him, as in the last issuo of the publication an attack was made upon Jailer Miller. Monday Byrnes and his wife visited the jail again znd while there Mr. Miller spoke to them about tke article in the paper. Byrnes and his wife at once bocame wrathy and began abusing the jailer, who stoood it patiently until one of the pair burled an epithet at him that he dou’t stand from any man—or woman—and then the fun Ruus became fast and furious. At Mr. Miller's first symotom of resentment of the insult offered him he was bodily assaulted by the pair. Mrs. Byrnes sprang in front of her diminutive better half and reached for Miller's eyes. Joe is not slow himself ina free-for-all, and in a jiffy ho had pushied the woman to one side, and given ker husband a couplo of good kicks in a position where thoy would do the most ood. Then thay closed again, and when the curtain was rung down on the last act of the tragedy, Mr. Miller was eating his lunch in the jail office, two dilapidated ex-visitors were hoboling down @ back street, and ono of the jailor's assistants wiping up tho gore with on old quilt. Byrnes has a faculty for gotting into scrapos of this kind. He was _discharged from e BEs some months ago for a similar assault made by him and bis wifo upon a vis- itor 1 the reeption room of Tuk Bek office. Mr. C, D.

A petition was filed in the United States circuit court yesterday involving the title to $1,500,000 worth of real estate within the city limits now owned by Phebe Rebecea Elizabeth Elwina Linton and her husband, Adolphus Frederick Linton, of Brighton, England. Thoe defendants aro W. Greenwell & Co. and John Whitaker Cooper, James Greig and Krnest Tozer Jansen, and suit is brought to set aside deeds and mortgages on the ground of fraud. Mrs. Linton is of American birth, being the daughter of Colonel Kinlay of Kittan- ning, Pa., who is now in the city ir consulta- tion with J. T, Cathers, the attorney of the estate, with reference to the case, It seems that Mrs, Linton was induced to give a deed to twenty-one lots in this city to Brown, Jansen & Co., bankers, on condition of the releaso of u certain morigage, which, it is alleged they did not hold. and which was not recorded for a yeav after it was miven, She was also. induced to givea mor- tgage amounting o £7.500 to secure anote given by hor husband for au alloged debt of that amount, which it is claimed that in reality he did not owe. It is alloged that the whole was a deal to swindle her out of ler property through a deal made with her husbana, who was thoroughly and com- plotely hoodwinked by the scheming parties, Tho mortgages amount to over $100,000,and the doal throws a cloud on property 'consist- ing of seventy-eight lots in~ this city, twelve in South Omaha and fifty acres of land lying Just west of Hanscom park. i DeWitt's Sarsaparilla destroys such poi- sons as scrofuls, skin disease, cozema, rheu- matism.

SAID TO WANT A UNANIMOUS NOMINATION s ampaign, it 18 Alleged, New York Republieans May Demand Candidacy iy Will 1o ¢ cted Secretly—Mrs, s Ambition, N Youk, April 19.--A political move- ment hias taken place within the last twenty four hours which will greatly chanee the present political situation. It is stated that Secretary Blaine wiil accept the republican nomination for the presidency if the party will nominate him at the national convention at Minneapolis in June with any degres of unanimity, and it comes from the highest authority. Iu is affirmed that since he wrote his letter to Chairman Clarkson declining to allow his name to be resented before the convention and withdrawing from the raco his mail has brought him innumerable letters from promi- pent republicans all over the country urging him to reconsider his decision and to become a candidate, and the prossure became so groat and forciblo that he was unable to stand out auy longer agaiust the wisties of his friends. his supportors and his party. He has decided to place his candidacy in the hands of his friends and ieave 1t with them. 1t is further stated that Blaine will not publicly make known his decision, but that his friends will secrotly work for his nom- inaton, and will place his name before the convenuion with sufticient strength to insure his nemination. The authority is Blaino’s closest friend in New York City and the recognizod leader of the party in tho state, and coming from such a source it will stand undisputed. This friend in speaking of Blaine's candidacy said that the secretary had ut last decided to reconsider his decision and to accept the nomination providing it is unanimously tenderea him. 5 ‘““This decision,” he continued, ‘‘was made very reluctantly by Mr. Blaine, but it was simply out of the question for himto do otherwise, Thare may be maay rensons given for this change, but I bolieve that the real reason 1s that he sees that the majority of the republicans of the country want him nominated, and sinco he has olaced his can- didacy in the hands of his friends I do not think anything can prevent his nomination in Juno, nor his election in November. This announcement of his candidacy will be hailed with delight by every republican in the land. “He is the idol of the republican party, and, being such, should be nominated with or ugainst his consent, and if he had not changed his decision I, for one, was in favor of nominating him against his wishes, and many others were in the same position. This aunouncement puts Blaiue in tho race again, and in the race he will stay until the close. There will be no backward movement now, and even if Blaine so desired, as his friends woutd prevent it. He has given them his word and they will do the rest. ‘‘Another reason 1s that this change was due to the influence and exertions ot Mrs, Blaine, who has all along aivised him to run and who has great influence with the secre- tary. It is believed that she was greatly put out when Blaine wrote his letter to Editor Pard of the Tribune, withdrawing his name from the national convention at Chicago in 1838, when his nowmination was inevitable, and that she was also terribly disappointed, when he wrote this letter to Chairman Clackson. *'S'1ll another reason is that tho latters he received from the promiment republicans were of such a character that no man could fail to give them u.mosi attention. Thev were imperative. The letters from Now York wero, of course, the most important, and were given the grealest consideration and weight. The views of nearly all the writers ran in the same channel. 1The Indiana letters also occupied a promi- nent place in his reconsideration. They ran nearly in the same strain as the New York lettors, und coming from the home of the president increased their importance. It can bo safoly relied upon thatif Blaine’s health is as good in June as it is now, he will be the repubiican nominee,and will be a hard candidate to aefeat.” Anything to Beat Harrison. LixcoLy, Neb., April 19.—[Special to T —It was reported hore today that a secret moeting of republicans from thirty- two counties in the state is soon to be held 1o Omaha or Lincoln in the interest of tho Alger boom for president. It will be romem- bered that when General Alger passod through Omaha recently he stoppea off be- tween trains and was the guest of Hon. John M. Thurston in Omaha. This has given rise to the query, Is Thurston quietly looking after the interests of Alger I the county conventions through- out the state! Vandervoort is _also 8 strong Alger mau and is known to be doing what he can to assist the boomlet. It is also bemg passed around hero that Biaine is not altogether out of the question.
