WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The successor
to Judge Kidder is quite likely to be taken
from the Dakota bar, but the president
has not yet decided on that point. No in
dications have yet been given of the pros
pect OF the rival claimants for the place
in the court of claims.
THE sPEAKERsHIP.
Sensational reports were received here
to-day saying that Randall was confined to
his bed with a severe attack of the gout,
and that his arrival here might be delayed.
Then the third and last story was that he
was not very sick, and would arrive here
Saturday. This air of indifference and
confidence is only part of the Randall
game. What surprises every one is the
strength developed by Cox. 1t has been
the fashion Of both the supporters
of Carlile and Randall to affect
disbelief of the serious character of
Cox's candidacy. Now they have discov-
cred he has more votes promised than
Randall can count on. It is common to
hear the criticism that his strength is COM
plimentary and will not stand by him, but
Cox's position is becoming to take on
very formidable look since it has been de-
veloped that he is the bona fide candidate
of the New York delegation. It is said
here that his selection was the result
of meeting of Democrats last
summer at the Fifth avenue
hotel, and that it was agreed to stand by
him to the last. This has thrown a good
deal of talk about mere omplimentary
votes from the state of New York. Gen.
Slocum, however, says this is au error and
makes no conceaIment about the fact that
his second choice is Carlisle.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.--Gen. Hazen con-
tinued the testimony before the Protus
court of inquiry. A statement, apparent
ly upon the authority of the signal office,
that tha supplemental instructions sent
Darlington was given out by Lieut..
Gaia during the absence of the witness.
He did not know why the defective copy
of the memorandum was sent by the sec
retary of war to the secretary of the
navy after the disaster was known. All
occurred while he was absent.
Lieut. Caseire testified he was author
of the famous memorandum and gave it
out to the press under the belief that it
formed part of Gerlington's orders. He
was not aware it had nothing to do with
Garlington's instructions until after the
disaster.
