Washington, Jan. 12.-Postmaster
General Key was asked to-day what
would be his course if the Anti-Repudi-
ationists in Tennessee should call on
him to lead them in the next guberna-
torial campaign, and replied: "The
campaign is long way off-next fall
and do not at present much expect to
be called on. 1 am, however, known
throughout the State as being bitterly
opposed to reputation of the State
debt, and if an honest party thought
that by running me as its candidate for
governor its cause would be strength
ened, l would be greatly tempted to
leave any position | might occupy to
answer the call thus made for me.''

Washington, Jan. 12.-There is a
growing conviction here that Senator
Edmunds' recent letter on Senatorial
patronage was the result of several
conversations with the President, in
which civil service views and pledges
were carefully discussed. OF course
this letter, which fairly expresses the
Presidents sentiments, is conclusive in
placing its author squarely on the Pres
ident's side, consequently it utterly
breaks down the Senatorial patronage
practice of past years, and takes the
life out of the usage.

LUSH FOR LAWYERS.

Chicago's City Site Title Threatened.
Washington, Jan. IA letter was
received at the general land office to-
day, making formal application for a
survey by the Government of portion
of the old Fort Dearborn military res
ervation, as public land still subject to
entry, although it now embraces nearly
all the business portion of Chicago
south of the river. This application is
supposed to be based upon the theory
that the sale of the greater part of the
Fort Dearborn reservation by direction
of the Secretary of War in 1887, was
not authorized 10y the law of 1919, un-
der which it was ordered. The appli-
cation comes from George Wolf, of
Freeport, ILL.,, for Louis Ohsendorff,
with the view to locating Valentine
Scrip upon the lands. 1t is accompa-
MED with an enclosure of money to
cover the cost of the desired survey.

Silver Sentences.

| Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Jones
still maintains that the President will
sign the Bland silver bill if passed, and
ridicules the idea that it will receive
his veto. He refuses to believe that
the President will go against the silver
sentiment in the west and allow his
judgment to be influenced by the hard
money members of the Cabinet. The
Senator is either badly misled by his
friends, or does not want to accept the
semi-authoritative declarations from
persons who know the Presidents opin-
ion, that the Bland bill will not be ap-
proved.
Jones says the silver men will not ac-
cept the bill as amended by the Senate
Finance committee, but intend to vote
down these amendments, and then pass
the bill as it came from the House. 1t
is the opinion of prominent Senators
that the debate over this question will
not exhaust itself for two or three
weeks. A member of the Finance
committee, an opponent of the pending
bill, said to-day that in his judgment
the best thing that could happen would
be for the silver advocates to pass the
bill as it came from the House. This
measure is so extreme that it cannot
command a two-thirds vote, and its
failure to become. a law by means of
the Presidents veto would demoralize
the silver men to such an extent that
they would then be glad to come to
terms.

SECRETARY ScHURZ.
Praise From a Constitutional Reviler.


Chicago, Jan. 12.-The Times spec
ial pays warm tribute to the energy,
honesty and activity of Secretary
Schurz, who, it says, has been master
ing the intricacies of the corrupt Inter-
ior Department, and although one ad-
ministration is too short to eradicate
all the frauds, yet he is ready to coop
crate with any investigating committee
and discover the most patent ones. The
transfer of the Indian Bureau to the
War Department will be a sweeping
and instantaneous publication that no
civil management could effect. Schurz
is incurring the displeasure of nearly
every ring that is represented in Wash
ington.

CONGRESS has resumed its session,
and for the next five or six months the
country will have to endure daily del.
uge of 'truck" from the capital. The
early days of the session ought to bring
out something little better than the
ordinary production. The members
have had a months rest, and been
feeding and fattening on turkeys and
Christmas sweets, and therefore are in
good condition for work.

Earthquakes and Their Terrors.
Panama, Jan 2.-Chachapoyas, the
capital of the Amazon, was visited by
an earthquake which demolished sew
eral houses and damaged many more.
No loss of life. The walls swaying to
and fro, the groaning of roofs, the
noise of falling tiles, the walls crack
ing and throwing out clouds of dust,
combined with the shrieks and groans
of the agonized inhabitants, made a
frightful scene.
Callao also experienced a severe shock
of earthquake, but no damage was
done.

enormous area of 352, 900 acres in Sc

a special act of Congress of June, 1860,
