special " Me Register,
WASHINGTON, May 4.
Mr.. Conkling boots at the idea OF
Grant being in any danger, and so does
Don Cameron, but Blaine's managers
to-day are evidently greatly encouraged
by the news they have nom Pennsyl-
vania and the northwest. One OF them
said To me, "0ur information from llli-
nois is tirst-rate, and We are going ahead
everywhere. That State, you, know, is
the battle ground, and il Grant is beaten
there il means defeat at Chicago"
''Yes," said |, "it looks so." / then re-
marked that Senator Angus Cameron
said that the vote OF Wisconsin will
stand Blaine twelve and Grant and
Washburne eight between them. My
Blaine friend would not agree to
this, and claimed that better in-
formed Republicans than Senator
Cameron were certain that Blaine
will carry Wisconsin almost so.ldly. l
then asked him about the rebellion in
Pennsylvania against Cameron, Grant
and the machine, and he said il was like
a fire in the mountains in windy wealth
or and could not be subdued. So much
for Blame news. The accounts OF the
anti-third term Republicans, who are
pleding themselves against Grant, indi-
cate that this movement is bOlder, more
widespread and better managed than
the anti-Grant rebellion Of 1876. That
Republican managers are troubled about
il is evident even from the utterances of
Mr.. Conkling, which have recently
reached the public.

Cremation of Augustave Pots.
Washington Reporter, 4ih.
The refusal OF the trustees OF the
Washington crematory TO receive lor
incineration bodies which had once
been inferred, or the bodies OF suicides,
means that the reform in disposing OF
the dead must not be handicapped at
the outset. To receive the bodies Oh
suicides would be to awaken preludlce
and lead the public TO say that the re-
form is already devoted to outcasts;;
To receive those once inferred wonld
look like violating the sanctity oil the
grave, and awaken still longer prejudice.
The trustees have delicate task, but
but manage it with a good deal OF skill.

The above paragraph was predicted
on the refusal OF the trustees 10 Gre
mate the body of Augustaye Potz, on
the facts suggested. Miss Amanda
Potz, the daughter OF the deceased,
Young lady of high culture, visited
Washington on Monday, the Sd inst,
and explained the circumstances OF the
case in satisfactory manner to the trus-
tees, who finally agreed TO the crema-
ton. which will be made at an early day.
Miss Potz states that the body OF her
father was not buried, but at the time OF
death was embalmed and placed IN a
vault with view OF having 1t cremated
in accordance with the wishes oil
the deceased. The supposition then
was that it would have TO be
taken to Europe for that purpose.
The wife and daughter, the only sur
yiying members OF the family in this
country, subsequently learned that the
cremation could be made in Washing
ton and hence the application here,
Mrs. Potz has already started for Eu-
rope, where she will be joined by the
daughter, who will carry with her the
ashes of the deceased husband and
father.
While the trustees intend to keep the
crematory here in operation, they desire
that similar structures should he butt
at other places, thus promoting the
wishes of DIR. lie Moyne. Those who
wish 10 build crematories will be cheer
fully furnished with any Information
they may need upon the subject by the
