A FISH STORY.

Georgian Bay, in Canada, where Cleveland was
lucky enoughto catch an enormous muskalonge.
It. was the biggest one that any Of US

REGISTER BRUCE's RESTORATION.

The Color-L Line Is Drawn Very Distinctly by
the Administration at Last.
WASHINGTON. May 9.-There was sensation
in the Treasury Department, caused by the
resignation of Register of the Treasury Bruce.
Mr. Bruce was given a hint some time ago that
his resignation would be accepted, and informed
Mr.. Manning ana the President verbally that 1t
was at their disposal Notwithstanding this, the
friends of the Register seemed to think that the
policy Of the administration would be to retain
Bruce In Office, on account of his color. If
Bruce had any idea of this sort be wasafterward
disabused of it.
There is to be no monkeying with the cIlor1ine
in this administration. If Mississippi man
must be appointed to fill the vacancy, there are
plenty of white men in Mississippi who are will
ing to accept the Office Bruce owes his appoint
ment to the effort of the recent Republican adj
ministration to concliate the colored men of the
South. who were falling rapidly and steadily
into the Democratic ranks. The retention OF
Fred Douglass in Office was to serve the same pur-
posH.
The statement Is made, on good authority,
that while black men will not be ignored under
this administration, they will not be hunted up
and have fat Offices passed them on a silver plat
ter. Mr.. Bruces successor is not known It is
said, however, that Mr.. Manning has a friend
who has been selected for the place, and who
has already indicated his acceptance.

Phil. Thompson's Reason for Dissatisfaction
with the Administration.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-There is one man who
held seat in the Forty eighth Congress who. a
few months ago, was one of the most ardent sup
porters of the administration. This man is to-
day, together with Senator Beck, determined to
oppose every move that Mr.. Cleveland makes
Just before the Forty eighth Congress adjourned
Phil. Thompson, of Kentucky, was certain that
he would be made Commissioner of Internal
Revenue. He had the backing of the entire
delegation, as we'll as more than
half the Democratic congressman in the
last House. Another man, however.
was selected for the place, and Thompsons
friends then attempted to induce the President
to appoint him Solicitor of the Treasury, or to
some other Office. Every effort that Thompsons
friends have thus far made has proved futile
Two months have passed. and he has no place.
This is one Of the reasons why Mr. Randalls
friends believe that Mr.. Carlisle and his sup
porters In the Kentucky delegation do not stand
in very high favor with the President. Thomp-
son is still hopeful that he will yet be recognized
but thus far there is nothing from the White
House to give color to the belief.
