THE NEW SECRETARY.

Senator Lot NJ. Morrill,, who was
nominated by the President yester-
day for Secretary of the Treasury
vice B. ii. Bristow, resigned, and
whose nomination was Immediately
confirmed by the Senate, was born in
Belgrade. Kennebec Co., Maine, in
1915, and is therefore 81 years old.
He entered Waterville College in
1884, but o o after commenced the
study of law and was admitted to the
bar in 1889. He was a member of
the Maine legislature in 1854; of the
Senate in 1856, and made its presi-
dent; he was elected Governor of
Maine in 1868, and reelected in
1859 and 1860; and in 1861 was
elected q Senator in Congress to fill
the %unexpired term of Hannibal
Hamlin, elected Weep esident of
the United States. In the Senate
he Served with distinction on the
committees on Commerce, District OF
! Columbia, and Claims. He was also
a member of the ''Peace Congress" OF
1861. He was reelected to the Uni
ted States Senate in 1868, for the
term ending in 1869, serving as
chairman of the committee on Ex-
penses in the Senate, and of that on
the District of Columbia, of that also
on Appropriations, and on that on
Indian Affairs. Was appointed in
December, 1869, and afterwards
elected by the legislature, to gil the
vacancy occasioncd by the death OF
William Pitt Fessenden, and was re-
elected as a Republican in 1871 for
the long term, his time expiring in
1877.
Our dispatches to-day state that
Hon. Jas. &. Blaine will undoubt-
edly be appointed to serve the re-
maindcr of Mr.. Morrill's term if he
will accept the position, but this is a
matter Of considerable doubt.

Maine, to he secretary of the treasury.
The nomination was Immediately con-

Morrill, has not yet accepted and

cept or not, but ever if he dues he
won't take the place till after the ap-
preparation bills have passed.
The commission of Morrill, as secre-
tary of the treasury was signed this
afternoon.
This Is noted as being one of the
quickest executive actions of this
character that has ever been consum-
mated.
The Omaha Bridge.
The House committee on Pacific
railroads to-day considered the bill
with reference to fixing the freight
charges over The Omaha bridge. Ten
members of the committee are equally

to leave his address, said that it was

John Smith.
zFrye, in the Judiciary committee,
when the Caldwell dispatches were
under discussion, yesterday, asked
Knott what he expected to prove by
investigating them. Iii I was to estab-

BAD NEWS.

BY reference to our dispatches it
will be seen that the Indian appr0-
pristion bill, which passed the Ho4se
of Representatives, then containing
a section by which the management
Of the Indians was transferred u
the War Department, passed the Sen
ate yesterday, after the section in
question had been stricken out.
This is indeed bad news. The coun-
try will pay dearly in blood and
treasure for this action of the Senate.

hours to the progress of the fire. And 90
it came to pass that at length the strong
sides, sappsd by the steady and resistlesA
assault, surrendered. One by one the stout
timbers, now wastened and weakened, gave
way and sank down into the fervid mass
beneath. At last the whole centre was one
accumulation of glowing ashes, and all
that remained were the bow, covered with
sand, and the stern; with the quarterback.
The fire spread in both directions. The
stern yielded first. Here the strong deck
sustained for time the onset of the fire
that had consumed everything beneath,
but at last it sunk in; the timbers Of the
sides followed next, and all had gone.
With the bow there was longer and a
harder struggle. The fire had penetrated
far into that part Of the vessel; the flames
smouldered there, but the conAageration
went on, and smoke and bleu flames issued
from every part Of the sandy mound, which
tiercely assailed by the heat, gave way in
every direction, broke into million crew.

in a glowing motion heap. Here the fires
burned longest, and here they lived and
CLEANED until morning.
Long before morning Brandon had fal-
len asleep. He had stood first near the
burning wreck. Then the heat forced him
to move way, and he had gone to a ridge
of sand, where this peninsula Joined the
island. There he sat down, watching the
conAagration for long time. There the
light flashed, and if that ship for whom he
was signaling had noticed this sign, and had
examined the island, his figure could be
seen to any one that choose to examine.
But hours passed on. He strained his
eyes through the gloom in the direction in
winch the ship had vanished to see if there
were any sign there. None appeared. The
progress of the fire was slow. 1t went on
burning and glowing with wonderful en-
ergy all through the night, till at last, not
long before dawn, the stern fell in, and
nothing now was left but the sand-mound
that covered the bows, which, burning be-
meath, gave smoke and fire.
'Then, exhausted by fatigue, he sank
down on the sand and fell into sound
sleep.
In the midst of thronging dreams, from
the depths Of that imaginary land where
his weary spirit wandered in sleep, he was
suddenly reused. A hand was laid on his
shoulder, which shook him roughly, and a
hoarse voice shouted in his ear, "Mess-
mate! Halloo, mess-mate! Wake up"

Patrick Henry's Prophecy.

Do not the words of Patrick Henry, in
the Virginia Convention on the adoption
of the Constitution of 1888, have especial
significance at this time?
"Your President may easily become
King. Your Senate is so imperfectly con-
structed that your dearest rights may be
sacrafced by what may be a small MAORI
ty; and very small minority may forever
continue unchangeably this government
although horribly defective. Where are
your checks in this Government? Your
strongholds will be in the hands of your
enemies. 1t is on the supposition that
your American Governor shall be honest
that all the good qualities of this Govern
ment are founded, but its perfect and i'm
perfect construction puts it in their power
to perpetrate the worst of mIschiefs should
they become bad men. And, sir, would
not all the world blame our distracted
folly in resting our rights upon the con-
tingency of our rulers being good or bad?
"Show me that age and the country,
where the rights and liberties Of the peo-
pie were placed on the chance OF their
rulers being good men, without conse-

Americans Seized and Forced into
''the Mexican" Army.

VAC AvAOAAS&A <AA@AASs
from the Brownsville Sentinel.]
About dozen Of our youths, some OF
them American born and Others of Mex
ican origin, were invited last Sunday to q
party at Puertas Verde, Mexico, just out
side of the matamoras Notifications. While
enjoying themselves, a party of revolu-
tionists came down on them and took the
young men prisoners. There were two
cripples in the party from this side, but
they were turned loose the rest were
marched off and placed in the ranks.
The young men, in going over the river
to the feast provided by their friends,
showed want Of forethought, but it looks
as if they were led into the trap-for what
purpose time will tell. The arresting and
carving them away was gross outrage
on the part of the revolutionists. Most of
them are Americans. and, as such, neither
of the contending factions have the right to
commit such actions Of oppression.

Cheap Coal and Minors Wages.

A GLOOMY PROSPECT FOR woRKINGMEN
IN THE ANTHRACITE REGIONS.
The reduction of wages in the anthra-
cite regions, that We several weeks ago in
timaned were inevitable, appears to as.
sumo more definite shape. Rumors are
current that reductions of from ten to
twenty per cent. in miners wages have
been decided upon, but, in fact, nothing
definite has been arranged, though the
companies are all satisfied that the reduc-
ton must be made, and that promptly
We 1aay fairly assume the average prices
obtained by the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Railroad Company and the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, for their
coal sold at auction during the past four
months, as the actual market value of the
coal.
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad, average price, 1928 per ton
(2.240 lbs.) Pennsylvania Coal Company,
average price, $3.50 per ton (224O lbs.)
These are the lowest prices at which
coal has ever been sold, dnring period OF
four months in New York.
A similar reduction will take place,
though probably not so soon, in the Cum
berland region. AS there is every pros
pect Of long period of low prides in coal
the continuation Of low wages will be cor
respondingly protracted.
This is certainly an ill.outlook for the
miners, whose earnings during the year
have been very small, owing to enforced
idleness, and yet the prospects are that,
even with the lower wages, there will not
be full work. it
