Among those who know NJ Mitchell best,
however, there exists much doubt as to
whether he would accept a position IN the

is that he would not. For several years Mr..
Mitchell has been withdrawing more and

pointed out are not tenth part so arduous

secretary of the treasurer. Further, Mr..
Mitchell has arrived at time of life when
more attention is paid to personal comfort
and ease. The recent illness which Mr..
Mitchell has experienced shows that he

been accustomed in the past 10
escape disease. While some of the re-
ports circulated regarding his illness were
sensational IN the extreme, the fact remains
that the casual cold which was caught while
indulgng in sleigh ride, during the prog
ress of polar wave, developed into sick
ness which has kept him confined to the
house, and during a goody portion of the
time to the bed, for week or more. All OF
these considerations combined lead to the
belief that whatever might have been Mr..
Mitchells reply eight years ago had Dem

A SOUTHERN DUELIST
Placed Under Arrest by the Mayor Of
Virginia Town.


Virginia Town.
Special to the Globe.
PETERSBURG, Va, Feb. 15-Just as Gen.
Seth Boiling, postmaster of this city, stepped
from the platform of a car attached to the
fast mail train, which arrived here from
Richmond at $3.50 O'Clock yesterday sfter-
noon, he was arrested. The warrant upon
which Gen. Bolting was arrested charged
him with having engaged or Icing about to
engage in a duel. This information
was conveyed here through a private letter
addressed to the mayor and received by him
this morning. The letter did not say who
the principals to the duel were nor did It
have any signature. The writer merely
wrote that he had reasons to believe that
Gen. Bolting was about to break the peace
by engaging in duel. On the receipt of the
letter all trains were watched by an officer by
order Of the mayor. After Gen. BotiDg's ar
rest be was taken before the mayor who told
him that the law required that he should
be put under a bond to keep the
peace. Gen. Boiling contested the mayors
right to put him under bonds as there was
evidence before the court that he had or was
about to engage in any duel. The mayors
right In the matter being contested his honor
sent for the commonwealth attorney, while
Gen. Boiling consulted his counsel, d. r.
Bernerd. The commonwealth's attorney
decided that the mayors duty required that
he should put Gen. Boting under
q peace bond. The bond has
been made for three months in the
sum Of 1000. Col. Jas. d. Brady, Repub-
lican congressman -elect from this district,
became his bondsman. Gen. Boting has
never get disclaimed that he has fought
duel and 1t is not definitely known whether q
duel has been fought or not. He
carries his left arm in handker-
chief sling which he says is due 10 fall he
received In Richmond, while walking down
the street II duel has been fought the
supposition is that it grew out Of recent
trouble Of the tobacco association, Of which
Gen. Boting is member, and who It has
been stated, had failed to pay certain recla-
nation claims. OF this charge be was fully
exonerated at a meeting of the association
had few days ago. Gen. Boiling is very
reticent and the name Of his alleged antago-
mist cannot be ascertained.

Special to the Globe.
ALBANY. Feb. I5.-When Senator PANEL
Voorhees, and Representative Cobb called on
Mr. Cleveland yesterday, they pressed the
name of ex-senator Joseph E. Mcdonald, Of
Indiana, for place in the new cabinet. SEN
ator Voorhees, made frank avowal of the
object Of his visit, saying: Il met Mr..
Cleveland Immediately after the election and
then was much impressed by his con versa
ton and bearing. This visit has added 10 my
admiration of the man. He seems to have
the saving grace of common sense and will,
have no doubt,
GIVE TO THE COUNTRY
an administration OF honest methods and
patriotic purposes" When asked il Mr..
Cleveland gave any sign that he would call
Mr.. Mcdonald TO his cabinet, Mr.. voorhees,
SAID: Why no, we came here to present to
the president ut-elect our desire in this regard,
and not for the purpose of learning from
him what we had no right to ask for.
Indiana regards Mr.. Mcdonald as good
man, safe In counsel and wise aud firm
and industrious in action. he would be of
invaluable service as 4 cabinet officer, and
would not only satisfy the high standard Of
Mr.. Cleveland but be acceptable TO all the
business interests Of the country. Tne petit
ton which has been signed by twenty-five
senators was spontaneous compliment to a
man they all knew and in whose abilities
aud judgment they have confidence. Mr..
Cobb said he had never met Mr.. Cleveland
before He was deeply impressed By the
bearing OF the president-elect. lie
was sure that his administration of
the government would be satisfactory
TO the country, and be hoped that Mr. Nc
Donald would be called to the cabinet, so
that Indiana might take part in the great
measures OF reform that would doubtless be
suggested aud consummated by Gov. C!eve
land. Mr.. Cobb said the interview he and
Senator Voorhees, had with Gov. Cleveland
was characterized by great frankness. Sem
ator VOORHEES, had presented the qusliica-
tions of Mr.. Mcdonald with force, and had
cloqueutly stated the desire OF the Democrats
OF Indiana TO have MIR. Mcdonald chosen by
President Cleveland as one OF his consttu-
tional advisers.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Word comes to
iuquiring Democrats In Washington, Who
wish to make another pilgrimage TO Albany,
and who desire to be certain that they win be
received, that Cleveland has given most Of
his time since his election to the public, aud
is now forced to deny himself to callers, Yet
Dan Voorhees, is at Albany on an important
mission. His return Is eagerly awaited. The
Indiana quarrel IS the first indication OF a
contest Of the factions within the Democratic
party, which is certain TO develop after March
4. Voorhees, and the twenty-five Democrats
who have urged the appointment of Mcdonald
to the cabinet are very much In earnest aud
they are not on the most cordial terms With
Mr.. Hendricks, but perhaps Cleveland re-
members that in the United States senate
there was oDly one who was his instant and
hearty supporter for the nomination at Chi
cago, and he is Garland, OF Arkansas. The
factiopal fight In the Mississippi delegation is
not quite 50 proaoanced, but it exists. Money

WAsHlNGToS, Feb. ia petition viii go
to President Cleveland Tomorrow signed by
nearly all the southern, western and Pacific
slope Democrats, urging him not to com nit
himself In lis inaugural as against further
coinage Of standard silver dollars. For the
past few days ex-senator Baruum, of Con-
necticut, has been in the city suggesting that
legislation be effected at this session to stop
the coinage. By many it was as
sumed that he came here as the
mouthpiece Of the president-elect. The silver
advocates became alarmed and petition as
herein bef ore stated was drawn by Represent
ative Reagan and has now about one hundred
signatures. 1t is certain that no legislation
can be gotten through this congress to
inveigh against the silver dollar, no matter
what may be the views of Cleveland on the

Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Most of the western
railroads which have been benefited by LAND
grant subsidies from the government own
and operate their own telegraph lines, There
is clause in each subsidy grant which pro-
hibits the railroad company receiving such
grant from giving ID any other corporation
or telegraph company exclusive tele-
grahic privileges. The Western
Union company, however, practically
enjoys exclusive privileges in the use Of the
telegraphic lines belonging to the Pacific rail-
roads controlled bs Jay Gould. The Balti-
more d. Ohio Telegraph company has deter
mined to contest the Western Union right to
keep lts exclusive privileges, and an applica-
ton by letter was made by President D. II.
Bates, of the Baltimore & Ohio company, to
the Union Pacific railroad last August, asking
for an exchange Of telegraphic business ut
Kansas City with the Kansas Pacific and the
Union Pacific railroad telegraph lines. Mr..
Bates said that be desired to open up those
lines to the public through the Baltimore q
Ohio as a competing line with the Western
Union. He took the ground that the various
acts incorporating the Union Pacific and
Kansas Pacific companies and extending TO
them government aid contemplate the op-
Grafton Of the entire telegraph system OF the
roads free Of discrimination Of every kind.
More than dozen letters have passed be-
tween President Bates and Chas.' Francis
Adams, Jr., president Of the
Union Pacific railroad. After Mr..
Bates had repeatedly requested a
definite answer to the application Of the
Baltimore & Ohio company, Mr.. Adams re-
piled as follows:
''Jan. 5 our company will, at any place
where it has an Office for commercial tele-
graph business. receive from any person or
corporation, including the corporation repre-
sented by you, any message offered to It aud
transmit the same without discrimination Of
sDy kind at the same rates and on the same
terms as It does messages for any other per-
son or corporation.
President Bates wrote that such term
would be perfectly satisfactory to the Balti-
more & Ohio company, and in order that the
necessary arrangements might be CONT pleted
he requested Mr.. Adams TO send him list
Of the telegraphic stations on the line of the
Kansas Pacific road between Kansas City and
Denver. There are said TO be about sixty Of
these stations. After some delay Mr.. Adams
replied that there was no list Of
the stations kept by the com
paDy. but that the stations were
well known. Thus the matter stands after
five months of correspondence. Pie off,
GERS Of the Baltimore & Obio Telegraph com
paDy suspect that the strong Western Union
influences in the Union Pacific directory Is
accountable for the disincliDatiou Of the ofFi-
GERS Of the Union Pacific to enter into the ar
raDgernent proposea by the Baltimore &
Ohio.
