ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL. I

WASHINGTON, June 13.-It is expected
that the Cabinet will to-day agree upon
the gentlemen to serve as members Of the
Tariff Commission in the places of Wheeler
OF New York and Phelps of Missouri, who
have declined. There is a great deal of
grumbling at the delay that has already
occurred in choosing the Commissioners.
who should be at work before the present
time, and it is thought that the President
will certainly act in the matter this week.
1t is reported that Samuel Hires, Of the
firm of Graham d Hires, hardware mer.
chants, of New York, will have Mr..
Wheeler's place, and the names Of various
old disappointed candidates for appoint
ment are mentioned as likely to succeed
Mr.. Phelps. The President said last night
that no decision had been reached. The
senate, IN executive session yesterday, de.
cided TO consider the nominations in secret
session, and Nj. Van Wyck's resolution to
consider the nominations with open doors
was defeated by a vote of 10 to l6. This ia
an indication Of the way the Senate stands
on the question Of confirmation. The
majority in favor Of confirmation will he
small, and some Of the Democrats cherisl,
a hope that they will be able to defeat the
nominees.
BIaine's Examination,
WASHINGTON, June 19.-The exsmina.
ton Of Blaine was resumed before the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs this
morning. Chairman Williams called
Blaine's attention to the passages in the
printed testimony OF Robert E. Randall,
relative to the Credit Industrial. Blaine,
IN substance, stated that Randall, who was
an utter stranger to him, first approached
him in February, 1881. He sent in his
card to the witness N the Senate chamber,
and began a conversation, on the assump-
ton that he (witness) was to be a member
OF President Garield's Cabinet. He wit
ness) waived the assumption, however, as
far as possible. The witness had no reason
to believe that Randall would intentional
ly misrepresent, but no such conversa-
tons as he (RandalD had testified to in
regard TO 1t had ever taken place. He
(witness) did not look upon Randall as a
person with whom to discuss the affairs Of
the Credit Industrial.
The Christiancy Difficulty.
WASHINGTON, June 13.-The deposition
of Charles Emery of Providence, R. l., in
behalf Of ex-senator Christiancy, in the
l%atter's divorce suit against his wife, has
been received here. In the latter part of
June, 1879, deponent went from New York

DRIFTING TOWARD DEMOCRACY.

The London Spectator raises Il

that English Episc"paiani>m is

This view Is based chiefly upon the
debates in tn" recent Church Con

We learn that Miss Wanda Brown,

by the sitting magistrate to state the
particulars of the assault, she de
posed that upon three several occa

bull-frog in her bed.
rs that sop inquired his Honor
of the prisoner.
"Well, Judge, I admit the frogs"
replied Mrs. Beebe; but what is one
who is poor, though honest, to do
with boarder who will neither pay
nor dust? This is how t was: had
lost enough money by her, and wasn't
going to waste any more on getting
her out of my house by the strong
arm of the law. But my husband

medical students for their expert

looking over his stock, that likely
