and that Mr.. Bayard will count as one OF

in favor of Mr.. Thurman for Attorney Cen
eral. Several Southern men, backed bv
railroad influences, are pushing for
the Post Office Department, but it can be
stated with absolute certainty that none of
them will get it. One of the best suggestions
that comes from the South is to make Mr..
Whitthorue, Of Tennessee, Secretary of the
Navy. His sterling honesty as Chairman of
the House Democratic Committee, and his
clear knowledge Of the dishonesty that has
prevailed in the management of that depart
ment would render him very strong man in
that place. Among those who are mentioned
for the War Department is Col. Theodore

BAYARD'S PORTFOLIO.
RumOrs That He VIII Choose the Secrs
taryship of the Treasury.

CarYsh1p OF the treasury.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-It has been known
for some time by the friends of Senator
Bayard, of Delaware, that if he became a
member of President Cleveland's Cabinet he
would prefer the position of Secretary Of the
Treasury to that of State. 1t is now under
stood that some time ago it was intimated to
him that he could have one Of these places.
No offer was made at the recent interview
with Mr.. Cleveland at Albany, and the denial
of the reported Cif5r was therefore technically
correct. But there is every reason to believe
that the previous offer has been practically
accepted, and that Mr.. Bayard
IS to be the next Secretary
of the Treasury. Gov. Cleveland
has made him his first choice, and he will
serve as a centre piece. around which the re-
mainder Of the Cabinet will lie constructed.
1t is reported hat Mr.. Cleveland would have
preferred that lie should go into the State
Department. and that no selection for that Of

BALTIMORE, Dec. l2.-The officers of the
steamer Mason L. Weems, which arrived this
morning from Rappahannock river, Va, re-
port heavy loss of life among the colored
oystermen on that river in a storm on Tues
day last. About 25 colored men were out in
their boats longing for oysters, when the
storm arose. The gale capsized almost all the
boats, and those which escaped being upset
were unable to reach the shore and
it is supposed were sunk The
men were thrown into the rough water, and
were unable to swim to shore. Many of them
clung to the boats for a time, but were fnallv
washed away and drowned. Very few Of
them escaped. Eleven bodies have been re-
covered already, and as many more are said
to be missing. 1t Is scarcely possible that any
of these latter have escaDpd death

The Lnskar RESOLUTIONS.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 81.
Speaker Carlisle will probably to-day
lay before the House a communications
addressed to that body by the Liberal
members of the German Reichstag,
thanking the House of Representatives of
the United States for adopting the resolu-
tons making a fitting recognition of the
services and Liberalism of Herr Lasker.
When this communication is laid before
the House, it is quite possible that there
will be an interesting discussion of Bis
marck's recent action. The message Of
the German Liberals was brought to this
country by Herr Lasker's brother and
forwarded by him from New York by mail
to Speaker Carlisle. It is possible that
the latter, before laying the document
before the House, may await the course OF
events in regard to Bismarck's dispatch
returning the Lasker resolution. There
is some question as to whether an un-
official communication from individual
members of q legislative body OF 9 for
eign country can properly be received ano
recognized by one Of the branches OF
Congress.

Health Good.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. q.
Commissioner Loring yesterday laid
before President Arthur report Of the
special commission appointed to-
examine the swine industry of the United
States. It is emphatic in the statement
that there is no condition surrounding the
industry which tends to propagate disease
or render pork unhealthful. From re-
turns from railroad and transportation
companies, slaughter houses, packers and
shippers, confirmed by those from boards
of health, humane societies and experts
employed by the commission, it appears
that the utmost care is pre-
served throughout; that dead hogs
are never transported except to otfal rem
dering establishments; that diseased hogs
are refused transportation; that humane
laws and sanitary regulations exist at all
stock yards, enforced by local inspectors
| under penalty of fines, etc.; that rigid
scrutiny is enioined at all slaug hter--
| houses; that methods of slaughter and
packing, qualities of material used, 1n-~
| spection, ETC., are regulated by the rules.

The report states that examination
proves our pork is fully equal,

ease exists, and the occasional presence
of trichine is comparatively unimport-

Loring, Chairman of the Board; E. w.

ment of Agriculture, and A. D. Curtis,

exists for the restriction imposed in some

Yesterday was the great day of the car
nival, and from morning until night, andtar
into the night, the city was the scene OF
extraordinary hustle and activity. Canal
street was particularly resorted to,
and it was finally crowded with
people of all sorts, colors and COLI
ditions, from curb to curb, and from
wall to wall, of the entire 225 feet OF its,
width, The balconies that line both sides
of the street, rising on tiers one above
the other almost to the roofs OF the
houses, were loaded with people, many
of them ladies i'll brilliant toilets. The
weather was superb, the sky bright, and
the air as warm and balmy as in May in
the Middle States, the thermometer
standing at 70 degrees at two O'Clock in
the afternoon. 1t is not an eXaggeration
to say that from one OF the
lady-laden balconies that overlooked
Canal street there were in the range OF
vision sc, OO0peoplc. About eleven O'Clock
the Enthusiastically costumed outriders OF
Rex heralded the approach of the great
procession which, assembling the COM
bined strength of four associations, with
their moving scenes and panoramic
views of their subjects, sacred, heroic,
romantic and humorous, extended for,
miles in length, mastering 100 cars OF
scenic Illustrations, 500 horses and 1000
men. There were fully a score of brass
bands interspersed at Intervals IN the.
moving column.
