Notwithstanding all the busy efforts of

from his comfortable position in the Treas

cured for him, Secretary Manning on last

There are rival Democratic factions in Mary

This is the true inspiration of all ths attacks

Whesther the controversy bet~ cen Eng
land and Russia end in war or patched
up peace, the relations of both countries
are at this time so strained that they are
arming, provisioning, and moving troops
to be prepared for the worst. That the
United States will be benefited so long as
this condition Of affairs lasts, and will be
heavily drawn upon for supplies if war
should finally be declared, there can be no
reason to doubt. Already the British
government has made contracts with the
great firm of Armour 6 Co. and with the
Fairbank Canning Company, both of

and fifty thousand pounds of meat. This

President Cleveland sent to the Senate
on Monday last an unusually large batch
of nominations for the diplomatic, consul
lar and other service of the Government.
Among the number was the name of Col
Frederick Raine of Baltimore to be con-
sul-general to Berlin. This appointment
is gratifying to Marylanders to whom Col.
Raine is we'll known, he having held sew
eral positions of trust and honor under the
State and municipal governments. Col.
Raine has always been a consistent and
working Democrat and wields an immense
influence among the German voters. He
is native OF Prussia, and it is expected
that his appointment to the consulate of

man on Monday to withdraw his name in

more Of the interests of his State than his
own personal preferment, in order to en-
able the representative men of the State to
secure the appointment OF some other re-
