Mr. Perkins hus just reached the city and should he join in with Hepburn and I smash the Gear slate by pulling his friends away from the support of Stone for speaker the contest would settle down 10 a pretuy fight between the three congressmen, Lacey, Hoepburn and Perkins, with' the odds even, [Special Telezram to and Gear combine John ¥, Stone's Strength.

L Buchanan May Be Appointea Minls- ter to the Argentine Republic. CrIcAGO, Jan. 5.y [Special Telegram to Tue Bee.]—The Post’s Washington special says: W. L Buchapan of lowa, who made such an excellent record as chief of the de- partment of agrioulture, forestry and live stock at the Columbian exposition, has been strongly recommended to Presideat Cleve- Jand for minister to the Argentine Republic. Great pressure is brought to bearon the president by several candidates for the posi- tion, but Mr. Buehanan's strong endorse- ments, together with his own high reputa- tion, place him in the van and make it more than probable that he will be named. Many strong argnments can be brought in favor of Mr. Buchanan's appointment to such a position. . First of all he is a dyed-in- the-wool democrat,_aud an ardent admirer and supporter of, President Cleveland. In tho campaign in Towa previous to his re- moval to Chicago three years ago to take up his duties at the exposition, he wielded a strong influenco and did excellent work in the democratic cause. His experienca as chief of the department of agriculture a: the fair gives him a peculiar fitness for posi- tion as minister to one of the South Ameri- can countries, in which he has taken a great interest. He has negotiated continually during the last three years with representi- tives of those countries, with a view to learning their resources and getting the possible exhlibits at the fair. Those neeotiations extened further, it being part of Mr. Buchavau's purpose to establish, with William E, Curtis, a pan- American commercial bureau, with head. quarters in New York, for the display of South American productions. I this way Mr. Buchanan has become well acquainted with the southern republics and their com- mercial relations and conuections with the United States.

Four convicts, all desperate men, filed off their cell doors, preparatory toa night broak. When the cell man was putting buckets into the cells one of the doors which had been almost severed from the bar fell down. An examination showed that three other doors were in the same condition. This was evi- dently concerted action on the part of the convicts, one of wiom is a second term man. Another one of them escaped last summer and was recaptured. ‘They could have easily overpowered and killed the night guards, who are few.

New Youk, Jan. 5.—In response to an inquiry regarding the reported receivership for the Missouri Pacific George Gould, president of the board of directors, says there is absolutely no truth in the story of a receivership for the Missouri Pacific. 1t has nover been considered by anybody con- nected with the company. None of the company’s lawyers have ever been <onsulted in regard to such a question. he floating debuis held entirely by Mr. Sage and myself and won't give the company any trouble, The earnings of the comvany are off, the same as almost overy other company in the country, but they are not of the proportion of other Tompanies. Tn regard to the price of stock it has veen driven down largely by men who are bearishly inclined on the market, und who very often use 1t as 4 hammer to break other stocks, because they thini it is unpro- tected from a market point of view. Our carnings began to decline earlier than those of the Chicago lines, because their earnings were kept up to some extent by the World's fair business, which did not help the Mis- souri Pacific, and_which, in fact, was a di advantage to it, becausc it turned business the other wayv.

The Pennsylvania may be brought up with a_round turn at that time, but it can do as it pleases for five days at least.
