THE SPEAKERsHIP.
William II. Morrison Looms Up as a For
midabIe Dark Horse.

william r. Morrison Looms Up as a For
midabIe Dark Horse.
Washington Special
During the last session of Congress Mr..
Morrison was asked if he were a candidate
for Speaker, and he replied that he was not;
| that ne was candidate for higher Office or
nothing. There is no reason, however, why
man might not be a candidate for Speaker
in November and a candidate for President
in June, and in the opinion of many people
an election to the speakership would be di-
rectly in the interest of the other candidacy.
Morrison, however, long ago gave his pledge
to Mr. Carlisle not to be candidate against
him, and, as stated last night, he will be here
soon as one of the managers of Mr.. Carlisles
canvass. 1t is understood here, however,
that he is the heir of the Kentuckian, and
that that fact is the main reason that he is
to work for Mr. Carlisle. 1t is believed that
there is distinct understanding between
the gentleman from Kentucky and the gen
| tlemRss from Illinois to the effect that the
| former is to be elected Speaker if he can get
votes enough, but that if he cannot make it
he is to throw his strength, or as much of it
as is in his power, for the latter The fact
that Mr., Morrison had been the lieutenant
of Mr. Carlisle in this canvass would make it
easy for the friends of the latter to adopt
him as their second choice if their favorite
failed. Mr.. Cox is not credited with the
power of turning over any considerable part
of his strength to any one else, if it should
become apparent to him that he had no use
for it, but he could induce quite a number
of votes, and he would rather have Western
or Southern man chosen than an Eastern
man, unless he can be that man, and he is
believed to be very friendly with Mr. Morri-
son. Mr.. Morrison therefore, is keeping
himself in the background as a candidate,
with the expectation that if the other men
cannot beat Mr.. Randall they will help him
to doit.

Romantic Incident in the Career of the Late
Lord COng1eton.
London Life.
Lord Congleton, who died recently was
man of marked eccentricity of manner, but
his blunt speech and brusqueness of bearing
covered warm and kindly heart. He was
an ardent supporter of the sect known as
plymouth Brethren" and it was his devo-
ton to this peculiar form of worship that in
volved HIM in rather strange match. While
travelling in Persia with friend he succeed
ed in converting an Armenian lady, Mad
anne Lazar, widow of an Armenian mer-
chant to belief in this particular form of
worship Converting her was, comparative
ly, simple business; but then arose the
question, What is to be done next? Propri-
ETY. forbade that these two guileless gentle
men should travel about ompanied by
handsome widow; while, were she left be-
hind, her heather relations would make
short work of her, or her Christianity. For
the sake of her soul she must not be left, so
one of them must marry her! 1t was agreed
that, after the manner of the Scriptures, lots
should be cast to decide who was to become
the happy Benedict. The lot Ifell to Lord
Congleton, who at once carried out the con-
tract, and lived very happily with the lady
until her DEATH

94000 600 was for the purpose of paying the

to settle the debt on that basis. When the
text of the agreement arrived from London,
the President refused to approve the addi-

Interview with Him.
LONDON, Nov. 14-The preparations for
O'Donnells defense are we'll advanced.
Roger A. Pryor had long and satisfactory
interview with the prisoner to-day, the first
since his arrival. McInerny, of O'DonnelPs s
counsel, has brought from Ireland aquantity
of evidence, and he feels confident the ver-
dict will not be for willful murder. Wit
nesses from the Cape of Good Hope are ex-
pected to arrive in England on Saturday.
William J. Hoppin, secretary of the Ameri-
can legation, in the absence of Minister
Lowell, visited O'Donnell and formally as
certained the fact of his American citizen
ship.
Prison rules have heretofore prevented
Pryor seeing O'Donnell except with the per-
mission of the Home Department. The So
licitor for C'Donnell wrote to the H ONE
Secretary asking permission for Pryor to
visit his client. The Secretary replied that
Pryor must make a personal application,
stating the grounds for the request. Pryor
made the required application upon the sole
ground that he, being of the counsel, deemed
it expedient for the defense that he should
see him. The Home Department thereupon
granted the request Pryor was afforded
every facility by the officials at Newgate for
an interview, which lasted two and half
hours.
It is understood that the opening of the

MINOR MATTERS.
Important Order to Extra Pay of Certain
Postal Clerks.

Postal Clerks.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4-Postmaster-gene
Gresham has made an order as to extra pay
of certain postal clerks about the city offices
which will cause those clerks inconvenience.
1t has been the practice to have experts from
the postal railway service assigned to assist
the postofices in the dispatch of mail and
postmasters have been permitted to make
these experts allowances from the general
postoffice fund. Postmaster-general Gresham
is of opinion that the appropriations cannot
thus be intercharged, and has ordered the
practice discontinued. The result will be a
material reduction in the salaries of some of
the principal postal clerks. The chief clerk
of the Superintendent of Railway Mail
Service is reduced by this order 81, 200, 1t
will affect several in the Chicago office.
