The Prince of Wales became very
popular during his visit to Pesth.
Count Andrassy told him at public
dinner that he had, by his fran K and
amiable manner, taken every Hun
garian heart by storm. He predicted
that the prince would make as excel

during his visit, four magnificent
horses and several sets of gorgeous
national costume of the Masyars,
adorned with remarkable Jewels and
native gems of great value.

NASHVILLE, May 30-1he Evening
Herald, one Of the two repudiation dai-
lies in the state, made AN assignment
to-day, and will probably suspend pub
lication.
The above Is furnished by the associated
Press, an association organized for the
purpose of sending out plain statement
Of facts without political bias. But it
seems that the Nashville reporter of this
association has gone beyond the rules and
intruded his political notions by applying
the word Reputation" The Herald was
opposed to the Hawkins Wright party
and favored the Wilson party; It topposed
the Hawkins Wright uarty's measures to
settling the state debt, and stood boldly
cut IN defense of the people and against
the drunken, gambling bribe-giying lob
byists who hatched the scheme whereby
hundreds of thousands of dollars were
made on paying something over $4,000
for one vote. These he a nice set of fell
lows to cry out "repudiation" as they do
above as plainly as though each one of
them had signed his name to it, Yes, the
Herald is showed" under probably. But
the fact has no political significance what
ever The thirty-two papers of the sixty
in the st te, that are now working inces-
sanity against the 1908 act, may all
sicken and die, but the people will live to
right their wrongs.-[ Mason Call.
Thele was great joy when a little
evening paper that mildly condemned
the 1908 act was obliged to suspend.
1t was an experiment started a year
or so ago, without taking the dis
patches. During the late great fire the
proprietor suffered some loss, and this
was followed by an assignment. He
had no noneyed corporation at his
back, and he failed to build up an
er evening paper in a city that
eady had one on a solid basis.

to be said in regard to his projected ship rail-

never lend itself to further the wishes of the pro-
moters of an inerOccaric canal, in view of the
superior accommodations which would be offered
by the adoption of his plan. He will ask Congress
at once 10 give him authority to form a company
with $40, 100000 capital, and guarantee per cent
dividends upon twO-thiTds that sum. For this the

correspondence relating to lands granted to the

ure on the part of the company to comply with the
act of Congress by the construction OF ans ROAD

had been placed on file to the effect that portions OF
the road SO represented had been completed, eX-
amined and accepted in accordance with the terms
of the granting act of Congress and the state Leg

much more important statement is one made by
n gentleman having excellent facilities for nlOrma-
ton upon the subject that Senator COnkng is per-
sOnaly in favor of Mr.. Platts election. and that he
has allowed this preference TO become known to
few, though very few of his friends Very great care
has been exercised in This matter hitherto, and no
dOnbt will be still. Among other indlca-
tions of it is the attitude of the Republi-
can Assemblymen from Oneida County. who
have taken no sides in the rivalry between Mr..
Pat and Mr. Crowley in order il Is sad that no one
should he able TO Charge that Senator Conkllng was
debating thcactOn Of the Legislature through them.
In all probability, it will be denied that Senator
Conkling has allowed any expression of his prefer
ence to escape him. but the assurance comes from
a most trustworthy At present therefore,
Mr. Patts prospect of receiving the support OF the
COnklng Republicans in the Legislature seem
brighter than those of the candidate
AT the same time if the contest between himself
and Mr.. Crowley should develop bitterness which
it has not shown up to this time. the
necessity Of compromising on some third
man would he generally admitted In that case
Some of Senator Conkling- friends do not hesitate
to say that Mr.. Morton would have an excellent
chance of getting the nomination. A polit-
clan said. to-day that if it became
necessary Mr.. Morton could be put IN the field
in two minutes and If il was understood that he
must be accepted as the, COnkllng candidate
difficulty about it, Int the canvass thus far IS
a good humored one. In the words of one of the
distinguished actors in the scene, There has been
very little attrition, and little is expected by the
Conkling men, One of their hest informed
leaders said to-day ne thought the whole
matter would adjust itself quickly before the caucus
met. and that there would be only one name pre-
scntcd from the C0nl,lnGs side. HIS present belief was
that in any case one of the three men now prom
inently named-Messrs. Plat. Crowley and Morton
would BE- nominated and the inevitable inference
was that ne did not look for any surprise candi-
dates. 1t will be well enough, however, for every
one to remember that the caucus Is at least three
days away. 4 great deal can he done IN three days.
