THE PROBABLE DEATH OF SENATOR
ANTHONY OF RHODE ISLAND.
Edmunds Will Freeze to the Presidency of
the Senate-Hayes Not a Candidate for
the Postmastership of Fremont-Sherman
ON the Indian Situation.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.l

death OF Senator Anthony or Rhode Island
will no doubt constrain Senator Edmunds
to reconsider his intention to resign as
president pro tempore of the senate. Sen
ator Anthony has been reelected to the
senate, but he has not yet been sworn in
for the new term of six years. It was for
this reason that Edmunds was elected pres
ident pro tempore, he holding over. The
office was accepted by Edmunds with the |
tacit understanding that he would relin- |
quish it next December, so that Anthony |
could succeed him as soon as he had quail |
fed as senator. Mr.. Anthony is known |
as the father of the United States senate, |
having served in it continuously since |
1859. He was twice elected president of |
the senate, first in 1869 and again in 1871. |
HAYES NOT CANDIDATE. |
Either through malice or otherwise re- |
port was circulated at the postofice |
department yesterday that ex-President
Hayes was an applicant for the postmaster
ship at his native town of Fremont, Ohio.
On its face such a report was calculated to
deceive the most credulous. Nevertheless
the alleged fact was telegraphed here. Of
course the ex-president has made no such
application, nor is it believed he is in such
circumstances as to be ready to drop from
the presidency of this great nation to viii
lage postmastership. It afirms that the
incumbent, Mr.. Cubes, was short in his &C
counts to an amount aggregating $4,000,
which has been made good. The chances
are that there will be change in the FIRE.
mont postofice, but r. B. Hayes will not
lick the stamps.
SHERMAN NOT AFRAID.
Gen. Sherman said to-day he did not antic-
ipate any serious trouble from the Indians
this year either in Arizona or Oregon.
Gen. Crook reports that the information of
the outbreaks in the former country we're
generally exaggerated, and that the results
were not nearly so disastrous as stated
Many who were reported killed are now
living. "Moses' Band in Oregon" said the
general, "are becoming better satisfied and
Moses himself is counseling moderation
and obedience. You see these Indians live
almost entirely upon the salmon of the
Columbia, and these fish are rapidly grow
ing scarce, and suppose they find it diff
cult to make living. Then, too, being
deprived of portion of the land which
| they thought theirs forever
they naturally became restless and threat
ening, think though that they will grad
| ually quiet down. Still we are taking
every precaution to suppress any out
break that may occur. I intend going
right out among them this summer and
see the state OF affairs myself. The party
will be small. so that we can move rapidly.
1t will consist of Chief Justice Waite,
Judge Gray, Coils. Bacon and Tidball. We
will start on the Goth of June, will traverse
the entire northern boundary and will stop
at every point and make a thorough
inspection"

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Secretary Folger
has not yet filled the vacancy created by the
resignation of Assistant Solicitor Robinson
from the Hill investigating committee.
Consequently nothing was done to-day
except to postpone further proceedings
until the vacancy shall be filled, which will
not be accomplished before next Monday.
The department has no fund from which
to compensate an "outsider" for services
on the committee and some difficulty is
anticipated in securing a suitable person
willing to give his time to the work gratu-
itously. 1t was unofficially suggested this
morning that Murch be invited to serve.
Assistant Solicitor Robinson, whom Murch
objected to on the ground of his partiality,
asserts that so far from being personal
friend, the supervising architect has never
