THE nomination of ex-senator Conk-
Supreme Court bench caused by the retire.
ment of Mr.. Justice Hunt created quite a
stir in Washington. When it was also
learned that ex-senator Sargent had been
selected for the vacant mission at Berlin in
stead of, as had been generally believed, the
portfolio of the Interior Department, the as
constituent and comment was increased.
Although the Senate held an executive ses-
sion, when it adjourned the names were not
found in the list of combinations, and con-
siderable disappointment was manifested by
the throng waiting patiently in the corridors
to obtain first tidings of such action, for it
has been the custom hitherto to confirm an
eX-member of the Senate without question.
1t was rumored that objection had been
raised to the present consideration of the
new candidates, and straightway an
effort was male to find out from whom
the objection had emanated. The subject
was discussed in all its bearings in the hotel
Hobbies and other places of public resort, but
speculaiion grew wilder the more it was dis
cussed. 1t Is doubtful if any event has
caused more talk since Mr.. Conkling's re-
tirement from the Senate. Reports were
current that Senator Hoar made bitter
assault upon Mr.. Conklfng in executive ses-
sion. He reviewed his political career and
charged that he was not fit man foc the
place on the Supreme Bench. This attack
was most vigorous, and was complete sur
prise to his fellow Senators.

THE committee endeavoring to re-
lieve sufferers by the fire at Haverhill, Mass,
have issued an address in which they say:
s'The emergency is imperative. Hundreds of
our fellow citizens are out of work, with no
means of subsistence. and many have no
tools with which to resume labor when Op-
portunity shall offer. We therefore make
an earnest appeal for contributions to aid us
in the work of disbursement among the
worthy applicants who are crowding upon
us for relief. Any sum, large or small, sent
to John L. Hobson, treasurer, or to any
member of the executive committee, will be
gratefully received and promptly acknowl
edged.D

GARFIELD memorial services were
held in Central Music Hall, Chicago, on the
9th. The hall was appropriately trimmed
with flowers and draped flags, and immedi-
atelv back Of the platform was large por-
trait Of the late President. Among the
floral decorations was wreath sent by
Queen Victoria and the emblem from the
Empress of Brazil. The meeting was pre-
sided over by Gen. James b. Leake, United
States District Attorney. Mr. E. A. Storrs
eulogized Garfield's eventful and wonderful
life, and told how he advanced step by step
by sheer force of his intellect, reinforced by
his spotless conscience, from an humble
rank in life to the lOftiest summit of honor
and achievement. Speaking of him as
politician, Mr.. Storrs said he used the party
not as an end, but as a means to an end. He
was never owned or controlled by machine,
but was too practical a statesman not to
know that in church and state an
intelligently controlled machine is indispen-
sable to success. she perished,' said the
orator, in conclusion, s'with the conflicts of
temporary eXciements raging around him,

Piles. The whole world loved him because
he loved the whole world.''
