The Latter’s Opinion Is Asked In Regard to the Circult Judgeship. WASHINGTON, D. C., Apri resentative Loud called on Assistant Sec- retary of the Treasary O. L.

Mr. Spaulding assured Loud that he would immediately take steps 0 prepare the specifications, based upon which bids would be adver- ti-ed for as It was the 21.—Rep- opinion of Mr. Spaulding that within three weeks advertisements would be pub- 1 g for bids for the work of grad- S:nators nd White accom- nied G al Romauido Pacheco to the introducee him to the appointment e and urged h to Brazil or the / this interview P improved his opportunity to in- e of Senator White something about different applicants for tne Circuit Judges p to succeed MeKenna. wion of Yhite was soughtas a ve no partiality Senator White e Morrow, and said Morrow was the This was the first time warmly praised hat his opinio man e place, Senator W. had ever met President MeK:; their brief interview it was impos for Senator White to gain even an idea of the President’s choice B e Cirenit Judgeship, but he is in- clined to believe that McKinley has two names under consideration—Morrow and Van Flee The Cabinet had under consideration yesterday the San Pedro deep harbor mate ter, broughut up by Secretary Alger.

F day apveared befy ance, which vans of San Francisco to- the sub-committee of he tariff bill under | consideration, ented additional reasons Wiy a drawback stouid be allowed on sed by American vessels. He | showed the committee that the drawback provision in the shipping act of 1886 was ntended to be continued by the taniff act of 1890, but owing to the unskillful word- thedrawback clause of that act the | not ad enough to include coal. difference in tbe price of coal on the P.cific as compared with the Atlantic coast was shown to be more than 100 per cent, and the fact that high-pr i ported coal Is used almost excl purposes by the Pacific Coast was especially dwelt upon. He suid that if in addition to this great expense for coal, the vessels of the coast st also be taxed 75 cents per ton, with no relief by way of drawback, 1t would operate as a discrimination against the shipping of California and other Pacific State, and would be a just cause of com- plaint. Colonel Evans contends that this is a fic question, pure and simply, and | the drawback will not injore the coal stg of the East, the price being rega- 1ated on’this side by the domestic supply. 1f the foreign coal comes in its price must conform to the local rate and the foreign shipper must pay the duty. Itisa dog- in-the-manger policy then for the Eastern coal magnates to oppose the drawback to which they never before objec'ed. The probability is that anthracite coal will be subjected to the sum - rate of duty as bituminous coal, the line of distinction between the so-called anthracite and Brit- ish Columbia coal being almost impos ble of definition. Alexis Suilivan, formerly of San Fran- 18 in Washington. He wants to have a vice-consulate established at Mata- , Nicaragua. Senator Perkins and Judge Maguite will call on the Secretary of State to-morrow in regard to the mat- ter. Mr. Suilivan is not a candidate for appointment to this place, but is business manager of the Francisco Coffee Com- pany 1n Nicaragu: J. G. Jonnson of Benicia wants to be Commissioner of Immigration at San Francisco, and J, E. Jansen, William H. Ellis aod L. T. Kinsey of Eureka would like to be Collector of Customs at Eureka. They have filed applications at the Treas- ury Department. The WHERE SILEKCE WAS GOLDEW, Ssnator Perkins Secures an Appropriation for the D gger Indians by Reframing From psech-Making. HINGTON, D. C., April 21.—Many men have received big fees for making speeches, but it has remained for Senator Perkins to receive a handsome reward for preserving a golden silence on last Satur- day. Ex-Congressman Caminetti tele- graphed him that something must be done for the Digger Indians. Senator Perkins saw the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, who agreed to recommend the passage of an amendment 10 the Indian appropriation bill, viz.: “for iocating the Digger Indians in California upon lands recently purchased for them and for their subsistence and civilization, and for the purchase of farming tmplements, seeds, and other articles, inciuding the pay of & practical farmer, $3300.” Mr. Perkins, in presenting this addition, offered to make a speech, whereupon Benator Pettigrew implored the Califor- nian not to do so, promising to let the amendment pass if he would desist. Mr. Perkins then said: “It was my purpose to explain the provision, but my friend from South Dakoca says to me that if I do not make a speech he will accept the amendment. Therefore I am very glad to yield.” The amendment for the Digger Indians was then adopted by the Senate. -—— Old Claims Brought Up Again. WABHINGTON, D. C., Apnil 2L.—Ma- hon, chairman of the Committee on Claims in the Jast House, to-day intro- duced a bill to pay theamounts found to be due certain persons by the Court of, Claims under the Fourth of July and Bowman acts. The total is about $350,000. It was the insertion of these items in thi deficiency appropriation bili by the Sen: ate in the closing hours of the last Con- gress which prevented the bill from b coming a law. el teeh MOSBY LOSES HIS NERVE. Strange Collapse of the Guerrilia Chisf~ tain When Called Upon to Address Former Comrades. WASHINGTON, D. C, April 2L Colonel John 8. Mosby of San Francisco, the noted guerrilla cbieftain and hero of many battles, lost his nerve when he was called upon to address the Commonwealth Club of Richmond, Va., last night. He had accepted an invitation to address the club and was there to meet his engage- meat. Many of Mosby’s men were pres ent and were especially anxious to hear their beloved commander recount his thrilling experiences. It was also ex- pected that Coionel Mosby would discuss his recent letter defending his course in supporting Genersl tirant for Presidentin 3 Golonel Mosby went to the clubhouse at the appointed time, but he could not be induced to make his address, or even to enter the room whers the waiting au- dience was assembied. When an honr had been spent in trying to coax him to respond, the exercises opened, and Joseph Bryan, who isentertaining Colone! Mosby, made the mest graceful excuse possible for the stage fright of his guest. When Mr. Bryan concluded there were loud cal s ior Mosby, who was in an anteroom, and he was final'y taken by friends and pulied into the assembly ball. He hid his face in his hands, and as s00n as the grasp of his friends was released the fearless fighter of thirty-five vears ago dashed out of the door without explanation and proceeded to another part of the building, where he remained until his bost took him home. Tne incident caused guite a sensation. e AR e INTERNATIONAL CHESS. Arranging for the tGame Between Brit- ish and American Lawmakers. WASHINGTON, D. C.,, April 2L—The international chess match between mem- bers of the British Parliament and the American House of Representatives will vrobably begin immediately after the ad- journment of Parliament, which is ex- pected abont the middle of May. The preliminaries are being arranged by Hon. J. Henniker Heaton, M. P., and Rich- mond Pearson, member of Congress from North Carolina. A letter tc-day from Heaton, giving the names of the British team, has upset the American manager's plans. It proposes that the contest be conducted in a simuitaneous match at five tables, one player to be in charge of each table, with two assistants to advise. Following is the list of Enzlish players and assistant: Plavers—Strauss, Hon. Horace Plunkett, John Parnell, Atchieley Jones, F. V ilson or Charles Shaw. Acsistants—Lord Folkestone, Sir Herbert Maxwell, Allhusen, McKenna, J. Henni- ker Heaton. Lord Balcarres, Seton Kar, Lora Warkworth, Bromley Davenport, Dalbiac. The Congressional experts prefer a se- ries of individual matches, but tney will acree to play under the British plan rather than have the affair fail. The members of the American team will be named in a few days. e LAIOR LEADEERS CALL ON REED. Make Known Their Desires in a Fery Modest Manner. WASHINGTO. April 21.—The executive council of the American Fede- ration of Labor called on Speaker Reed to- day to file 8 memorial urging an amend- ment to the eight-hour law, a restriction of immigration, currency reform and a liberal appropriation for public works. President Gomvers and Vice-President McGuire addressed the Bpeaker.in support of the memonal. McGuire urged the se- | leetion of Representative Gardner of New Jersey as chairman of the Committee on Labor. Reed expressed satisfaction with the tone of moderation with which the visit ors had spoken. 1t was necessary, he said, in view of public exigencies, that the passage of the tariff bill be first secured. Until that was accomplished, nothing else would be undertaken. ‘“‘And you can aid in that,” he said, by so directing public opinion that it will tena to over- come the inertja of the body of very esti- mable citizens who have to pess upon that measure.” e, CLEKKS MUST STAY SOBER. Pension Commissioner Evans Won’t Let WASHINGTON, D. C., April 2L.—Com- missioner of Pensions Evans means to stop the pernicious babits of some of his bureau clerks. He said to-day: “I am told there are instances in which clerks who spend nights in saloons come to the office with heads far from clear. This is not calcuiated to give the Government the character of work for which it pays. Anything ot this kind will not be permit- ted while I am Commissioner. If T learn that any one in tnis office drinks to his disadvantage I shail see that his place given to some one clse. I wish to rein- state any ex-Union so!di who have been unjustly removed, but before doing so I will examine the records they had while in office and their character.” e OMLY SLIGHILY INDENTED, Ufficial Inrestigation Shows the Oregom to Be Not Seriously Injured. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 21.—Con- structor Capps telegraphed from Bremer- ton, Wash., to-day, that the injuries to the battle-ship Oregon are not serious.

How the Country’s Business Is at the Mercy of Minorities. He Belleves In Scraping the Bar- nacles From the Ship of State. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 21.—The monotony of the Senate was interrupted to-day by anattack upon the rules by one of the new Senators, Mason (R.) of Illi- nois. He had offered a resolution yester- day for an amendment to the ruies pro- viding for the limitation of debate and the ordering of the previous question. When the resolution was taken up to-day he made his maiden speech, treating the subject with levity. Instead of the Sen- ate being the great assembly Senators im- agined it to be, it was practically, he said, | ocly a legislative body in the eountry where a minority transacted public busi- ness. Alluding to the tariif bill as a messure in which the majority would have to yield to the minority, he remarked that the business interests of the country were on the vergs of despondency. He | eave the arbitration treaty as another i lustration of the minority deciding whether or not it shouil be ratified. The Cuban matter was another instance. | “Action upon it,” he said, “‘is delayed while murder 1s committed at our very doorsteps, and we look each other in the | face and say, ‘Am I my brother's keeper?' | The Senator from Alabama knows there is | a majority in this body committed to rec- | ognize belligsrent rights n Cuba, but whatever our desire the minority controls | our action. I would not scuttle the ship, but would like to put her in the drydock long enough to have her bottom seraped | so that we can sail and transact public | business. Senators say they are in favor | of a change individually. Let them show that they are colleciiveiy.” | Hoar remarked that there was very little | likelihood of the Committee on Rules act- ing soon on the resolution, as Chairman | Aldrich was engaged day and nizhtin the | preparation of the tariff bill. He spoke | with some bitterness ot the methods of | another parliamentary body (alluding to : the House) that adjourned every three days in order to gain time for attacks | upon 1he Seuate for not attending to bus.- ness. |Laughter.] Gorman moved to refer the resolution to | the Committee on Rules. Mason said he preferred to have the resoiution acted upon directly and de- | manded the ayes and noes, | Gorman’s motion was adopted—ages 32, | noes 2 A petition of merchants and commer- | cial bodies of San Francisco aganst the abrogation of the Hawailan treaty was presented by Perkins, ana one in fayor of its adoption by Morrill of Vermont. The amendment appropriating $50,000 for the improvement of Pearl Harbor was reported from the Committee on For.i.n Relations. An invitation to the Senate to be pres- ent at the Grant ceremonies in New York and to take part in the exercises was ac- cepted, on motion of Hawley, and & com- mittee of fift-en 1o represent the Senate | on that occision was ordered appointed by the Vice-President. A concucrent resolation to adjourn over from. Monday, April 26, to Monda; 3, offered by Chanaler, went over wi action. The bankruptey bill was then taken up. Various verbal amendments were made to Nelson’s substitute. Turpie opposed the bill because it would allow a joint stock corporation to go into voluntary or invoiuniary bankruptey. Hoar, who assists Lindsay in the man- agement of the bill, mouified the bill sn that it would not include corporations. It was agreed to begin voting on the pend- | ing amendments and on the substitute | offered by Nelson at 3 o’clock to-morrow. The Senate then adjourned. NO MORE TO BE ADMITTED.

C., April 21.—It is the belief in legal circles that the Supreme Court will grant the petition for a rehear- ing in the Trans-Missouri case, and set it for rearrangement with the case of the joint traffic_aesociation, which is coming irom the Federai court in New York, where the decision_was contrary to that of the Supreme Court.

Another Mississipp: Levse Breaks—Disas- trous Flood in Minnesota— Weather Bureau’s Repor’. VICKSBURG, Miss.,, April 2L levee at the Promised Land plaatation, in Issaquena County, broke this morning. It will retieve the pressure on the Louisi- ana side on the upper bends, but the water will return to the Mississippi at the mouth of the Yazoo River, a fcw miles above Vicksbure. At 6 o’clock to-night the break was 500 fee: wide. This unexpected crevasse makes the inundation of Issa- quena and Sharkey counties complete. To-day’s disaster aestroys any hope for the late cotton crop in the lower Yaz00 and Mississippi delta, as it will serve to pro‘ong the flood by greatly increasing the area of country submerged. Oonditions in Madison Parish, Louis- iana, are growiny more alarming. Presi- dent Maxwell of the Fifth District levee board states that of his 15,000 acres in the parish less than fifty acres are mnot flooded. It is closely estimated that 75 per cent of the land in caltivation in Madison Parish is submerged. Tents for 2000 peopie arrived from St. Louis to-night. The demand for relief is increasing daily. refn ST. PAUL, Mixy,, April 2. —Emerson, just over the Manitoba side of the boundary, is in a bad way to-night. Oniy two buildings are high and dry. The water on the main street is two feet over the store counters. Railway communica- t'on is entirely shut off on both sides of tke river. The inhabitants are penned in on the second stories. Eiforts are being made to send a steamboat to rescue them. The bridge over the St. Joe River is washed away. From there (o Emerson, five miles, On the west side of the river the Northern Pacific track is submerged for twenty-five miles, WASHINGTON, D. C.. April 2L.—The Weather Bureau 'reports that the total area of land submersed by the overflow of the Mississinpi is 20,000 square miles, con- 1ing 46935 farms and a population of 462,041. The value of farms, buildings, machinery, livestock and last year’s nrod- usts still on hana approximates $90,000,000, and the_total production of last year, in- cluding 5,000,000 bales of cotton and 9,000, 000 porinds of sugar, represents a value of of §21,752,180, B A I ANOTHER REVOLT IN HONDURAS. The Government Calls Upon Salvador and Nicaragua to Aid i Iis Sup- pression. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 21.—News of another revolution in Honduras arrived to-day on the American fruit-carrying ship Foxhall from Puerto Cortez. The Foxhall was tied up to the only pier at Puerto Cortez, on which the custom-bouse of port is built, on the night of April , when about forty men armed with Winchesters and carrying boxes came down to the pier and asked Captain Leslie they fonnd out whether or not the revel forces under Gen- eral Desoto, former President of Hon- duras, were going to attack them. They int:mated that it would not go well with | them if aiter a ficht they should be cap- tured, and they wanted to get away on tue Foxhall It was surmised that the things in boxes they carried were customs receipts and other funds, which frequently cause revo- lutions in Central American republics. Leslie said that he was under orders to sail at 9 o'clock at night, and he cast off the lines promptly at that hour. Before doing so he learned that the nisht before | the revels under Desoto had captured a garrison commanded by a German officer in the barracks on a lagoon just nor.heast of Puerto Cortez. The rebeis got six can- nons and = lot of rifles and ammunition. Chief Officer Krojasgard of the Foxhall said ihat he . ad heari from men ashore there had been a general uprising in the republic, and that President Bonilla had decided to accept the aid of Guatemala, Salvador and Nicaragua to suppress the rebellion. There was no disorder or firing on shore when the Foxhall steamed out into the gult of Honduras. e TWO MURDEREKS ELECTROCUTED A Very Neat Performawoce at the Uhio Atate Prison. COLUMBUS, Ostto, April 2L.—The first cxecution in an electric chair under the new Obio law took place in the State Prison last night, William Haas and Wil y, murderers, being put to death. In each case thiee shucks were sent through the body in quick succession, ‘results will be placed on the market by the current haviug 1750 voltage. Hass was executed first, Tnere were no re- pulsive scenes, no writhings of the body, uor did the electrodes leave marks on the skin. Death in each case, no_doubt, was painless and instantaneous. The victims were cool and made no final statements: CONSTITUTION, Not Worth the Money Appropriated for Hor Repair. PORTSMOUTH, N. H., April 2L.—Work has not as yet been commenced on the irigate Constitution authorized by Con- gress when it appropriated $80,000 to be expended in making her safe to tow to Boston. Those in authority claim that $80.000 would not fit her for sea and that it wouald cost more than the appropriation to make her watertight. It is extremely doubtful, sav the yard officers, if she ever leaves the arydock. Dry rot has seriously affected her timbers. It is expected that the naval officers will refuse to tow her to Boston unless she can be thoroughly re- paired. BROKEN-DO —_ BIS EXPENSES PAID, How Jense Grant Will Attend His Father's M-moriat Celebration, NEW YORK, N.

PHOTOGRAPHS IN NATURE'S COLORS Remarkable Process Dis- covered by a French Artist. Most Minute Variations of Shade in Completed Pictures. Blue, Green, Red and a Colorless Liquid Produce the Grand Effect. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 21.—Some photographs in colors of neture were ex- hibited on Broadway to-day. Th-y were taken in France by the recently discov- ered process of Villedien Chassagne ou Paris, and while coloring media are ased they are remarkably successful efforts in this new field of photography. All sorts of views are reproduced, and the most minute variations in color indicated in the completed photograph. The color of flesh, varying snades of foliage and colors of jewels or metaiy are distinctly shown. A plate that has been submitted to certain treatment is used, and after that exposure and development are accomplished in the ordinary way. The media supplying the color are applied after the print is fin- ished. Four liquids are used—one colorless, the other (hree being blue, green and red. The colorless liquid is applied to the print with a camelshair brush. Iy is supposed to give the print selective power. Blue, green and red are successively ap- d, with the application of the coloriess liquid between every use of the biue and green. After each application the print is wiped dry. From the blue, green and red solutions applied the print takes the colors of the original, although none of these three may have been separately present in the original view.

PARIS, Fraxce, Aprit 2L.—The corre- | spondent of Temps at Constantinople telegraphs that Edhem Pasha has tele- graphed from near Turnova that the Turkish divisions are pursuing tie Greeks, who are in fuil retreat. These divisions, Edbem said, have arrived within two kilometers of La and the investment of that town by the Turks has begun. Edhem Pasha expects to become master of Larissa within three days. S ot ATHENS’ GARRISON SENT. Re~enforcements Start From the Capltal to Constantine’s Relief. LONDON, -Ex6., April 21.—A dispatch to the Times from Athens says telegrams received from Larissa urgently ask that re-enforceraents be sent to the front, the Greek troops being exhausted by contin- uous attacks from the Turks. Two thou- sand five hundred troops forming the gar- rison at Athens start for Volo to-day. whence they will proceed to Larissa by rail. The palace guard and 250 gendarmes will probably follow to-morrow. Severe fighting is proceding at Reveni, where the Turks have been largely re-enforced. e AT A DISADVANTAGE. Ground Overlooking the Greek Position Is Now Held by the Turks. The Greeks have been at a most fatal disadvantage as far #s position is con- cerned. They have had to fight uphill in more senses than one. The Turks were able to take positions overlooking the Greeks. Toe battle-ground has laid on the slopes of Mount Olympus and the spurs which run down from it to the Xarias and Peneus rivers. The summits of Olympus, rising to & height of near 10,000 feet, lie some miles north of the frontier, toward aad across which the: a continual descent, except here and there where a peak rises above its surroundings, but always 10 a less height than its neigh- bors tothe north. Mount Analipsis, where | stant and recorded automatically. the first engagement took place, is some 4200 feet high, and is topped by several Ppeaks just north of it on the Turkish side, A road runs from the north along the crest of the mountain from Psitoraki Peak, 3800 feet hi:b, down grade all the time to Milouna Pass, where it strikes the main road between Elassona and Laris«a, Jjust where it crosses the frontier atan elevation of less than 1000 feet. The Turk- ik advance along this road was not to be checked by the Greeks from their lower Position 1 spite of their bravery. The same conditions obtained at Re- veni Pass. The Turks advanced to the attack from ground higner than that occupied by the Greeks in the pass. Tur- navo, lying at the foot, was at the merey of the Turks as soon as they had reached there. Below Larissa the conditions change. Within five miles begin a line of bills that run off to the south and west, with a gradual rise until they calminate at Dobroudeha Dagh on the westand the Kara Dagh on the southeast, some of whose heights, as Mavro Vuni, riseto 2500 feet. These continue to the east, north of the Gulf of Volo, uniil they con- nect with the continuation of Mount Pelion. KEW METHOD OF TELEGRAPHY. A Recent Discovery Promises a Speed of 3000 Words Per Minute Over a Single W.re. NEW YORK, N.Y., April 2L.—Before the American Society of Mechanical En- gineers to-night Professor Albert Crehore of Dartsmouth College read a vaper de- scribing a new method of very rapid tele- graphing by use of alternating currents, which will be developed by him and Lieu- tenant George Owen Squier of the United States army. The experiments which re- sulted in the development of the new system were made at the United States Artillery School, Fort Monroe, Va. The average telegraph operator, sending messages by the Morse system, can trans- mit from thirtv to forty words per minute. By the Wheatstone system, where mes- sages are first prepared on a puncher-strip and then transmitted automatically, a speed of from 150 to 200 words per minute may be attained. By the new sysiem promised a speed of 3000 words per minute may be attained oyer a single wire. At the same time the wire cou'd be used for sending other messages by the ord nary Morse system, or by the quadrupie system, without creating any interference. Itisalso possible to send two entirely different messages over the same line at the same time at the rate of 3000 words per minute, and in addition these mes- sages could be transmitted to and received by any number of stations at the same in- It is necessary Lo have the messages prepared for sending on slips of paper, punched with signals to represent letters in accord- ance with the European modification of the Morse code. The general method by which this won- derful speed is to be accomplished is by taking advantage of the peculiarity of al- | ternating currents, in which currents of opposite polarity succeed earh other with a rapdity varying from 250 to 400 per second. Between each pair of these waves ol currentis a moment when the wire is neutral. By means of a simple device these cur- rents may be interrupted, and one or more wave movements of current omitted. By noting these interruptions and their order messages can be read by the use of a sensitive needle or flashiight. e il MACE WOULD FIGHT SULLIVAN. Prospect for a Batte Be'ween the 0d Fellows and a Jomt Tour Through England. BOSTON, Mass., April 21.—Jem Mace, the old English ex-champion. is in town to-day trying toarrange with Frank Dunn for a match with John L. Sullivan for a limited number of rounds. The place will be in some Eastern city, probably Boston or New York. Ii he fails in this he will endeavor to arrange for a meeting with the veteran, Mike Donovan, the boxing instructor, before a big New York ath- letic club. These two old fellows sparred four interesting rounds in New York some months azo and did so well that the sporting fraternity is more than anxious to have them box again. It is understood that Donovan is very willing to meet Mace. Failing in this, Mace wil sail for England from New York on the Campania next Saturday. Sullivan is going to England next fall and Mace wishes 10 muke arrangements to travel with him giving boxing exhibi- tions in the biz cities, which ne thinks would make a pot of money for both men. The Sporiing Review announces that Jobn L. Sullivan and Jem Mac> have ar- ranged a partnership and will tour Eng- Iand the coming summer. £ oummg s NEW ITHREEAT FROM CORBETI, Won’t Fignt Anybody but Fits and May Retive From the Riny. NEW YORK, N, Y., April 2L—If Fitz- simmons remains deaf to Corbett’s ap- peals the ex-champion will retire from the ring permanently. Corbett frankly be- lieves Fitzsimmons won’t notice him. He say Fitzsimmons can insist on me fighting some one else first, but this won't avail him, for [ refuse3to meet any other boxer. This is absolute and nothing can make me do otherwise. I have several schemes and will spring them before e loBT ly Madden said to-day that unless Fiizsimmons declines to fight the God- dard maich is as zood as mace. He is ready tomake a match to be inside of a vear for $5000 a side. Madden will let Fitzsimmons name any responsible party, and Billy on behalf of Goddard, will place his deposit. e P Punilist Poarce’s Opponent May Die.
