The Reelection of the Objector Vigor-
Ously Objected To.
On Thursday next, May %, says an
Aurora, Ind, special to the New York
San, the Democratic Convention of the
Fourth (Holman's) Congressional district
will be held. There are six candidates,
including Judge Holman, for the nomina-
tion, and all of them, excepting Holman,
are fairly moving heaven and earth to OBJ
tain it. Holman, however, remains at
his post in Washington carefully guard
ing the vaults of the United States Treas
ury, apparently uHmindful of the fact
that he has any interests here. He has
not been here at all, nor has he any one
who is specially employed in his interests.
nor has he ever made any statements
through the local press intimating a wish
to return to Congress.
The rank and file Of the Democracy of
the district are so well satisfied with HOl-
mans Congressional record that they are
content that he shall remain there as long
as he chooses, and no power, or no talked
of combination of the other candidates.
can beat him. In the first place, there is
no danger of combination. from the fact
that each one of the candidates would
prefer Holman if he cannot get the nomi-
ndIiOh HAlHo6lls anu Al In6 second place
Holman could even beat the combina-
tiOn. No one of the other candidates
has instructions from any other
county than their own, and Holman
has instructions from portion of
some of the counties which have candi-
dates. There are three counties which
have no candidates, and all of these have
instructed for Holman, while Dearborn,
Holman's own county, which is Demo-
n I,r~1
county in the district, will give him its
solid support. What the other candidates
base their hopes upon is only known to
them and their intimate friends.
1t is said that Judge Holman will be at
the convention, but it is more than
probable that he will do as he has done
heretofore, leave everything in the hands
of the people; and it is certain he will do
this if he thinks his presence necessary at

THE CONFERENCE
GOING FOR CORE.
A Duel Arranged Between an Indiana
Ex-SOldier and an Alabama Colonel.

- DNcA - Rn6ou DObWOCh an lnOlauA
Ex-SOldier and an Alabama Colonel.
A stir has been created here, says a
Roswell Ind special of the 10Th inst. to
the Cincinnati IImes-Stdr, by the an
nOQncement that a meeting under ''the
code'' between Col. J. c. Mcclure, of Mo
bile, Ala, and John Spies, of this place,
is to take place. 1t seems that Spies, who
was a well-knOwn soldier, in a conversa-
tiOn related the incidents attending the
capture of Jefferson Davis, with the cir
cumstances of which he was familiar, as
he was one of the capturing parties.
Spies says that in return for his cour-
teous attention to Mrs. Davis he was given
a bunch of flowers by her, which he kept,
bringing it home with him at the close of
the war. A reporter wrote an account of
it for the Biswell Courier. A CODY of the
paper reached Mrs. Davis, who at once
placed it in the hands Of Mcclure, friend
of the family. Mcclure wrote to the edI-
tor of the Courier a denial of Spies state
ment, saying that Spies lied and Offering
him satisfaction ''under the CODE"
The editor suppressed the letter and
only a few days ago told Spies about it.
Without hesitation Spies accepted the
challenge and named Col. Harris as his
second. That the meeting will take place
and be fought ''tO the death" there is no
doubt. Friends have interfered without
avail.

RUssIA's HEIR APPARENT.
His Arrival at His Majority Celebrated
with Gorgeous POmp.

MS Arrival AT MS majority celebrated
with Gorgeous POmp.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 1S.-The ma
jOrity of the Czarowitch was celebrated
to-day by various court and state cere-
monies and a fete to the people in the
Field of Mars. The streets of the city
were thrOnged by enthusiastic masses.
The Gar and Czarowitch drove through
the crowd at midday in an open
carriage and without escort. The
pOpulace loudly cheered as the royal per-
sOnages passed. The windows along the
route were specially ordered to be kept
closed. The Czarina was driven later in
the day to the winter palace, where the
members of the Imperial family, officials
of the various embassies and high State
and church dignitaries were assembled.
At the palace Prince William of Germany,
in the name of his father the Emperor, con-
ferred upon the CZarowitch the deccra-
atiOns of the order of the Black Eagle
The procession then formed and pro-
ceeded to the Palace Church, the Gar
and Czarina leading. They were fol-
lowed by Queen Olga of Greece, the Gar
owitch, Duchess of Mecklenburg Schwer-
in, Prince William and the Russian
Grand Dukes and Duchesses. After
prayers had been offered the CZarOWitch
took the oath of allegiance to the Car
and loyalty to the Fatherland, and swore
to maintain the legal order of
succession to the Throne. A salute of 301
guns in honor of the day was then fired.
Returning to the Palace the Czarowitch
took the oath of military allegiance on the
standard of his body guard and of his
COssack Regiment. Another salute was
fired and their imperial majesties retired
from the ceremonies. The CZarowitch
in the afternoon received deputa-
| tions from all classes of the
civil, military and provincial
population. The shipping in the Neva
was resplendent with the display of flags
of all nations. The streets were all pro-
fusely decorated with flags and banners.
The entire city tonight is brilliantly
illuminated. Special services of thanks
giving were held to-day in all the
| churches. Prince William placed a
wreath of immOrtelles upon the tomb of

W WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator FRYE.
Chairman of the Senate conference COM
mittee on the Dingley shipping bill, wants
to go fishing to Maine on Thursday to
remain until after the Chicago Conyen-
tion. He willtry to have the bill disposed
of before he leaves. The House has not
yet acted on the Senate's request that
conference committee be appointed on the
differences between the two houses.
When the notion to agree to this
request is made, as it probably
will be on Tuesday by MIR. Slo-
cum, the Chairman of the Shipping
Committee, the point of order will be
made that the bill, since it contains a sub
sidy clause, must go to the committee Of
the whole. The point will probably be
sustained. In committee of the whole an
attempt will be made to consider the bill
as privileged in character and so entitled
to immediate consideration. If considera-
tion is had the request of the Senate will
probably be acceded to. In conference
the bill will be amend so as to omit the
subsidy clause and will then probably

ARTHUR'S HOPEFUL LEAD.
BLAINE SAID TO CONTEMPLATE
WITHDRAWING.

An Independent Washington Paper
which Gives the President the Benefit
of BOom-New York Business Men
Represented as Demanding the Presf-
dents NOminatiOn-Delega who 1t
Is said VIII Flock to His Standard.
WASHINGTON, May 1S.-The Capital,
Independent in politics, presents to-day
the following just view of the political
situation: ''The President Is growing in
strength as a candidate for the Republi-
can nomination at Chicago. This cannot
be affirmed of any other of the several
candidates. The evidence of his increas-
ing strength comes to us from various
sources. We cannot help being impressed
by his.evidence. 1t is becoming hourly
more clear that as between Mr.. Arthur
and Mr.. Blaine, if the convention be linn
1ted to that choice, Mr.. Arthur will be
nominated. The nomination of Mr..
Blaine we now regard as an impos-
sibillty. 1t is clearly impossible
for any thOrough-gOing Republican to
raise a respectable objection to the
present administration. The business
men everywhere are for Arthur, and they
are making their influence felt not only in
New York, but in all the Northern States.
Oudl1iudu ' duLliSs OI mlCQl9dn. who has
been in town this week, saws that it is not
improbable that the whole delegation from
his State will decide to vote for Mr.. Arthur.
Senator CullOm, of Illinois, says that half
of the delegates from his State will 90 to
Arthur when they leave Gen. Logan. The
strong business influences working in
New York have compelled the New York
Times to cease its unfair attacks on the
President. The known opposition Of Gen.
Grant and ex-senator Conkling
is doing him great deal
of good. No one has better
reason to be satisfied with the outlook
than Mr.. Arthur. To this 1t may be added
that Mr.. Blaine's attempt to convert
Southern Arthur delegates have failed,
and that it is stated on high authority
that eight of the Massachusetts deIega-
tlOn certainly will go to Mr.. Arthur after
1t becomes apparent that Senator Ed
munds cannot be nominated, and proba-
bly, the whole delegation, with two ex-
ceptiOns. Mr.. Blame will not allow his
name to go before the convention unless

CRASHING INTO A AsCHooLRooM
A Stone Hurled by Dynamite Into a
Room Full of Girls

Miss Hough was teaching drawing to a
class of fifteen girls yesterday afternoon
in Grammar School No. "a, corner OF
Tenth avenue and 1O4th street, saws the
New York San of the 18th inst. when an
explosion was heard, and stone weigh
ing nearly 100 pounds crashed through
the window. The wooden shutters were
closed and the stone smashed them into
kindling wood. 1t then struck a desk in
front of a girl and ruined her drawing
book. The stone then struck the opposite
wall and fell to the floor.
With the larger projectile came show
er of small stones, and the floor was
strewn with splintered rocks, wood and
glass.
There was panic among the girls, but
Miss H0ugh did not lose her presence oil
mind, and she quieted the children as they
were rushing for the door. No one was
hurt, except Mabel Androvette. Is wears
old, living at Tenth avenue and 1O6tb
street. Her face and neck were cut a
little, and one piece of rock had made a
cash on her forehead.
The police were sent for, and they soon
learned that the stone had come from the
Boulevard, block away, where dynamite
is used in blasting cellars.

THE DUTY ON ART.

Reopen the Tariff Debate.
WASHINGTON, MAY 1S.-The Ways and
Means Committee has a bill to present for
suspension of the rules tomorrow,
which, if passed in the House and re-
ported by the Finance Committee in the
Senate, will give rise to prolonged tariff
debate in that body, ending in votes on
Mr.. MOrrison's bill, Mr.. Hewitt's bill,
and other tariff propositions. 1t is the
bill fixing the duty on all imported art at 10
per cent. ad valOrem, in lieu of the pres
ent rates, to wit: 80 per cent. on foreign
art, while the productions of American
artists residing abroad are admitted free.
1t is not certain whether this bill will
command twO-thlrds in the House. 1t will
have opposition, although it has the sup
port of both American and foreign artists.
Some Democrats do not want a reduction
in art duties pointed to as the only re-
venue reform outcome of this session.
