Grant to be Nominated.

WASHINGTON, March 10. - Senator
Don Cameron has been informed by one
Of his Philadelphia chisftains that Grant
may not receive the full vote Of the
Pennsylvania delegation at Chicago on
the nrst ballot. there being strong indi-
cations that at least twelve Of the dele
gates will Immediately announce their
preference for Blaine. Cameron Is 70.

believed the contest would be practically
settled long before the Convention met
at Chicago: Maine and Ohio might cast
complimentary votes for their ~favorite
sons. but enough other States would 60
instructed for Grant. to make u contest
useless. and he anticipated that the first
ballot would carry nearly all the States
for Grant. Among the States which he
now considered absolutely certain to in
struct their delegates for Grant are:
Illinois. Kentucky. Tennessee and Mis-
souri,. He also claims that notwith.
standing the predictions Of u solid In-
diana delegation for Blaine. one.half OF
the votes Of that State will be cast for
Grant. In short he considers the result
absolutely certain, except in the contin-
gency Of General Grants death, and for
this reason he says he has no second
choice, aud is not inclined to listen to
any suggestion as to what he might do
IL Grant were out OF the way. He also
declares to his friends that his conf
donce is founded upon information that
is not at all known to the public.

Adirondack Murray.

New YORK. March 15.-Ths Sun says:
Adirondack Murray has gone to Europe.
His friends say II was Murray's own
wish to keep in retirement, because he
believes be is threatened with some fatal
affection. and that absolute ~seclusion
from his friends and scqusintances is
the best thing for him. Murray had
forsboded such trouble for six years. 1t
has been observed that when he was
surrounded by his best friends and
warmest admirers he was least contented,
imagining they were all secretly opposed
to him and trying to injure him. 1t Is
also said that Murray imagines all his
creditors at Guiliord are longing for an
opportunity to wreak vengeance upon
him. whereas the truth Is they are we'll
disposed toward him and would DO glad
OF an opportunity to aid him. Mrs.
Murray is now living in New York.

The Texas Pacific.

WASHINGTON. March l3.-At today's
meeting Of the Senate Committee on
Railroads it was very distinctly intima-
ted by the four Southern members that
they will not allow q favorable report to
DO made on the bill to extend the time
for the completion Of the Northern Pa
ciac Railroad. unless the committee BY
the same vote authorize q favorable re-
port on tho bill to extend the time for
the completion Of the Texas Pacific.
This arrangement will probably be
agreed to at the next meeting. and both
bill. will doubtless be reported back to
the Senate on the same day. The friends
Of the Northern Pacific bill intend to
press IL forward for action during the
present session. bnt the Texas Pacific
people are understood to prefer that
their measure shall remain on the calen.
dar until next Winter. by which time
they expect it will have gathered strength
by reason OF the construction Of several
hundred miles OF road in Western Texas
now under contract.

Sharon's Speech.
S. =. Stock Report.

Senator Sharon IL not an orator, and
q speech from him is a. much q novelty
az n from Grant. But hs made .
speech in the Senate yesterday, In pre-
senting q petition from . couple Of
Eureka (Nevada) editors for the repeal
Of the duties on paper and paper.makine
material. He did not express much con-
Germ as to whether the Eureka pencil
pushers were relieved from the onerous
burdens Of the paper tariff or not, but
he managed to make their petition the
text for some very sensible remarks on
the relations between capital and labor,
showing that the conflict between them
was in reality but q war on the con.
sumner. by enhancing the value Of pro.
ducts. Mr.. Sharon also took occasion
to explain the reason for his continuous
absence from his senatorial duties, The
speech was modest and sensible, but 1t
and its author will be pulled all to
pieces BY the opposition press Of his own
State. 1t is his maiden speech, and the
anti. Sharon papers OF Nevada have been
aching for him to say something In the
Senate, so az to have IN opportunity to
90 for his scalp. It will require con.
siderable ingenuity. however. to pick
anything out Of bis speech on which to
base an attack on Mr.. Sharon. We pre-.
dict that the first move will be to declare
that be hired somebody to write Il, com.
mitted 1t to memory and delivered Il like
schoolboy r~sciting "Casabianca."

The COlOred Exodus.

WASHINGTON. March l5.-Tho Senate
Exodus Committee heard Henry Adams,
colored. Of Louisiana, who said the Col.
o~pization Council was a secret organiza.
ton. whose object was the bsttering Of
the condition Of the eolored people by
appealing to the President to enforce
aud protect their rights; to Congress to
set apart territory for them or help them
to Liberia; or. finally. to appeal to some
government outside Of the United States
to help them leave this country. The
negroes first lost hope in 1877, when the
governments Of the Southern States
passed into the hands OF their former
masters. They leave because they are
badly treated. In many parts OF the
country they might as we'll be slaves as
free. The emigration from Louisiana is
because the negroes fear that q Demo.
erat will be elected President, and then
their condition will be even worse than
now and IL would be more difficult to
emigrsts.

EASTERN DISPATCHES.
Rchurz,a Ute Bill.

WASHINGTON. March IT, Schurz's
bill provides for the ratification Of the
agreement between Secretary Schurz
and Ouray, and authorizes the Commits
sion to negotiate with the Utes for a
treaty under which they shall surrender
to the United States government their
reservation in Colorado upor the con.
ditions already published. The Colo
RADIO delegations arc not at a.. satisiied
with this arrangement. The, partica.
larly object to the location which has
been selected. which. they say. is the
heart Of the mineral region Of Colorado.
Senator Teller expresses himself very
freely. He says THAT the terms pro.
posed in Secretary Schurz's bill are so
liberal that such legislation will be mere
ly IN inducsment offered to other tribes
to massacre their agent aud his EN-.
ployes, ravish their wives and daugh.
tiers, and burn the buildings Of the
agency. for under the terms the Secre-
tary has suggested the Utes will be bet
ter OF than they were before. while the
citizens Of Colorado and the government
will suffer all the disadvantages OF the
change. Mr.. Teller thinks that Ouray
Is . sharper man than Schurz, for every
actual and possible advantage Of this
new arragsment is on the side OF the
Indians. Instead Of being punished for
the crime they have committed. Senator
Teller says that the Utes are o to be
rewarded. and il this arrangement is
consummated by an Act Of Congress. 1t
will merely encourage such an outbreak
among the Indians as occurred last fall.

Wood Pulp Paper.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The hear
ing OIL the paper question was resumed
before the House Committee Of Ways
and Means today. Erastus Brooks urged
the removal OF the duty by simply giving
the proper construction to the existing
law. The rise in the price Of paper was
entirely disproportionats to the rise In
other commodities. and was due to q
combination Of Western manufacturers.
He believed the removal Of the present
duty on wood pulp would result in a
reduction OF at least two cents per pound
on printing paper. and that unless some
action Of this character was taken BY
Congress there would be no guarantee
that paper might not be forced to most
eItortionats prices. No. duty was i'm.
posed on wood pulp In England, where
1t entered largely into the manufacture
oil paper.
