| Commissioner of Patents, IS resident Oh
| Lansing. Mich. The President knew MS
/ qualifications, and this morning requested
a friend to telegraph HIM ana ask MN II ne
would serve the Administration as Patent
Commissioner. This was the first sugges-
| fion he had of the matter. His answer
was al am a candidate for no Office, but
nv services are at the command OF Presi-
| dent Cleveland" His name was immedl-
| atelv transmitted to the Senate. Montgom-
ery was the attorney selected by the home

Bayard's Successor.
PHILADELPHIA, March 1Sth.-The Press
Republican, says: The election of Attor-
ney-General GRAY, of Delaware, to the seat
in the United States Senate just vacated by
Bayard, preserves the best traditions of
that States Senatorial representation. 1t
gives to the national councils man very
much above the average of his party at
home. Gray's election is a direct snub to
| the narrow and bigoted faction of spoils
| men represented by Salisbury. He was
| born in 1910; graduated from Princeton
College; was admitted to the bar in 1868
appointed Attorney-General IN 1881 was
| delegate to the National Democratic Con-
| ventions of 1880 and 1884, and presented
Bavard's name for the Presidency in both.
He is said to be q fluent speaker, and is of
splendid physique, being over six feet in
hight.
SPRINGFIELD, March 1Sth-It is generally
conceded here tonight that there will be a
vote taken tomorrow in the House for
Senator, but it will be one-sided. The
| Democrats are marshaling their forces, and
| expect to put in a solid front, while the
Republicans donot. The consequence will
| be that the latter will not vote. This even
| ing an Associated Press reporter asked
General Logan what he thought of the out
look tomorrow, and he replied that he
could not then tell, as there were six or
eight Republicans away, and he was not
sure they would be back tomorrow in time
to vote. The Democrats have made the
assertion that Senator would be elected
tomorrow, but it is not probable.
Emma Nevada's Abscess.
New YORK, March 1Sth.-Dr. Lewis
Sayre, one of the best throat specialists
here, on being shown the statement of a
| San Francisco paper to the effect that DR..
| Wixom had not cut the abscess in Nevada's
| throat for fear of injuring the vocal cords,
/ Stlu IL WIS Il HilStdhc W llllh tlittl sip-
scesses like those she is reported to have
should not be cut. An empty house is
better than a poor tenant, and the same
principle applies to her. Let the intiam-
nation increase and workIits way through
the flesh, and evil results will follow.
| What you want to do is to get it out. To
lance the abscess will not injure the vocal
cords, as the severed parts will quickly heal
| together again

New YORK, March 1Sth-The SIN, says
| DR.. Newman is reported as saying that
March is General Grants lucky month.
| Just what more luck Newman expects the
General to have this month he don't say.
| By the way, it sounds odd to hear Metho-
| dist Doctor of Divinity making so much
| account of luck

Secretary of the National Cattle and Horse
growers Association, who has been max
| ing tour of Texas il the interest of that
| Association, returned to-day. He reports
a great diversity of opinion regarding the
| losses sustained by the cattlemen of Texas
during the past winter. they being variously
placed al from l TO 10 per cent. His own
estimate is 3 to 5per cent. The winter was
the most severe ever known in Texas, and
| the drifting of the cattle was very great. 1t
is estimated that fully 100000 cattle drifted
southwark. and are now in the vicinity of
| Devils Run and in the Pecos river coun-
| try Roundup parties have already been
started for that vicinity, but owing to the
poor condition of the cattle, it will require
much time and careful driving to bring them
back. The closing of the trail north will
compel owners to throw much of their sur
plus stock on the market this season, which
| will no doubt depress the price of beef
