Up His Mind Def- initely. | Still There Is Strong Opposition in Several Influential Quarters. All Indications Point to the Pennsyl- vanian for Interstate Commerce Commissioner. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Dec. 25—A Washing- | ton special to the Herald Though the President had definitely promised to appoint George Paxon of Pennsylva- nia to be a member of the Intei Commerce Commission to s ed | Chairman Morrison, there is strong opposition to the appointment, both on behalf of the labor organizations and prominent Republican politicians. The President, however, does not like to re- cede. There are now three Democrats on the commission—Morrison of Illinois, | Yeomans of Iowa and Clements of | Georgia. The law requires that at least two members shall be of each po- litical party. Mr. MorriSon’s | pires in a few days and Mr. | in one year. If a Republican Mr. Morrison’s place a Democ | be put in Mr. Yeomans’, and on this basis the Iowa memb: are figuring. They want Representative Hepburn appointed to succeed either Mr. Morri- | son or Mr. Yeomans. Hence, if he is not to succeed Mor- | rison they want a Democrat chosen. Senators Allison and Gear are strong- | Iy urging this course. Senator Cullom is urging the appointment of David T. Littler, his lieutenant in the last Sen- | atorial campaign. Others mentioned for the place are W. T. Calhoun of Danville, 1., D. K. Watson of Ohio, George D. Todd of Kentucky and G. M. Lamberson of Nebraska. The President has informed friends of several of these candidates that Judge Paxon is to be appointed, and it is not probable that he will make a new selection, DEATH RESULTS FROM A PECULIAR ACCIDENT. Wealthy Young Tularcites Rancher Found Unconscious by the Side of His Dead Horse. MONTEREY, Dec. 25.—Infomation has just been received here of the death of Massinia Piazzoni, a wealthy young rancher of the Tularcitos dis- trict, which occurred Thursday after noon as the result of some peculiar ac- cident.

The horse must have fallen with great force, as his back was broken. -— SPARK FROM A GRATE FATALLY BURNS A BABY. Falls on the Little One as It Sleeps Before a Fireplace and Starts a Con- flagration.

The babe was lying on a pillow in front of the fireplace flew upon the pillow, | work in another room.

The first cours- ing will take place at Newark to-mor- row—an all-aged stake with twenty- four dogs entered. There are many fine coursing dogs in this county, and there will probably be good racing. =l i) o Two Passenger Trains Collide. PARIS, Dec. 25.—Two passenger trains came into collision at Lepage du Rousilion, Department of Isere, during the prevalence of a dense fog last night. Captain Blouet of the cruiser Fougere, of the French Med- iterranean squadron; Captain Lota, an instructor at the military school of St. Cyr, and M.

NASHVILLE, Dec. 25.—The trot- ting horses of the Hermitage stud will be closed out by disposal at public sales. The first consignment, including the stallions Ponce de Leon and Bow Bells, and high-class brood mares and horses in training, in all about forty head, will be held at Madison-square Garden, in New York, about the middle of February next.

Secretary Long Has a Plan ‘Which Naval Men Cor- dially Dislike. Say the Retired Officers Secured Their Training on Board ‘Wooden Ships. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Dec. 25.—A special to the Herald from Washington says: If the resolution for the restoration to the navy of officers discharged under the act of 1882 becomes a law more than 200 naval graduates will be available for service. This fact has just devel- oped and has caused considerable com- ment among officers of the navy. Secretary Long, in recommending the resolution, called attention to the | hardship suffered by discharged grad- uates and urged that as a matter of justice they be returned to the ser- vice. There is no intention on his part to agitate for the passage of the reso- lution, but officers affected by the measure propose to inaugurate a vig- orous campaign against it. The resolution admits of the appoint- ment of discharged graduates at the foot of the class to which they be- longed, but no appointee shall be given higher rank than that of lieutenant of the junior grade. Some of the for- mer graduates are now 35 years old, and the majority have been out of the service twelve or fifteen years. It is urged that they have not the training to fit them for appointment, as their education was obtained on wooden ships. Secretary Long told me he does not believe more than fifteen or twenty men would take advantage of the reso- lution. The opponents of the plan say they believe a greater number would jump at the opportunity. Senator Hale, chairman of the State Senate Naval Committee, is understood not to favor the resolution. WANTS DAMAGES BECAUSE HE MISSED CHINATOWN. Traveler Brings Suit Against a Promoter of Around-the-World Tours. NEW YORK, Dec. 25.—Amos B. Falkenburgh, who joined one of Frank C. Clark’s annual tours around the world in November, 1896, to-day began suit in the Supreme Court to recover $1500. Of this amount, Falkenburgh asserts, $1000 is due for trouble and an- noyance during the tour of the world, and §500 should be repaid him by Clark the was cars dis ' d out of §2147 25 which he paid Clark for | the trip.
