row (Tuesday) evening, from 9 O'Clock TO IL.

than is evidenced by the hopeful and encoura-
ging bulletins which are now being made pub

The Illinois SenatorShip.

DEMOCRATS WHO THINK THAT GEN. BLACK
CoULDB ELECTED.
1t Is understood in democratic circles here
that several prominent Illinois democrats have
been selected to visit Pension Commissioner
Black and talk with him about becoming the
party nominee for Z. :. Senator from that
state. 1t is presumed that Col. Morrison has
consented TO retire frem the field, and demo-

1t Is learned at the White House that the
President has made no plans for the heated
term. His movements will be guided entirely
by the necessities of public business, and as yet
he has no idea when Ire can conveniently take
a little rest. The western democrats planned "A
trip for him to Chicago and other points I'm the
west to be taken probably in June, and he has
received an invitation to visit Atlanta
in May. While not averse to either OF
the proposed trips, the President in
formed those who rendered him the invita-
tions that he could not possibly accept them at
present, as he did not know whether his official
duties would permit of his absence. During
great portion of the summer there is no busi-
ness to be transacted by the Executive that can
not be attended To i'm any other place as well as
at the White House, SO long as it is within fele-
graphic communication. Realizing this fact.'
President Cleveland will naturally escape from
the heat of midsummer, but he has given no
thought as to when or where he will GO.

The Scientific Bureaus.


NO MATERIAL CHANGES TO BE RECOMMENDED
BY THE CONGRESSIONAL COMMISSION.
The congressional commission appointed to
consider the present organization of several
scientific bureaus of the government with q
view to secure greater efficiency and economy
In their administration met last Friday and ad.
journed to meet again November 10th, when
the preparation of its report will begin. Al
though the recommendations to be made have
not yet been discussed except incidentally. and
nothing has been definitely determined, yet the
opinions expressed by members of the commits
sion and the developments made in the exami-
nation OF witnesses warrant the statement as q
probability that no recommendation will be
made looking to material changes in the organ
ization OF any of the bureaus under considera-
ton.
THE SIGNAL SERVICE.
Room for improvement in some minor mat
ters was found in the organization of the signal
service. A provision of law authorizing the
payment OF enlisted men through a single
channel, and upon single voucher, would
effect a considerable saving in clerical force.
The present law provides that two promotions
may be made each year from the ranks of the
signal service to the position of second lieuten-
ants.Thts law has now been in operation seven
years, and has resulted in fourteen second lieut.
cnants of the signal service. It is suggested
that the surplus of lieutenants SO created be
drawn of into the army proper before any
more appointments are made from civil life.
This would scatter through the army a class Of
officers familiar with military signaling and
with teiegraphing, who might render valuable
services In time of war.

Gen. Logan Uses Hard Words.

THE EX-SENATOR CALLS MAYOR HARRISON A
LIAR, PoLrRoON AND COWARD.
Chicago Special the Philadelphia Times, April 9Th.
The political excitement incidental to the
municipal election of Tuesday next has been in
tensified to fever heat by the attack made last
night upon Mayor Carter Harrison by Gen.
John A. Logan. A few nights ago at a large
democratic meeting the mayor openly charged
that some little time prior to the trial of Mackfn
and Gallagher for election frauds certain parties
connected with the prosecution had offered 10
provide q loop-hole for the escape of the de-
PENDANTS on condition that Mackin should
secure the cooperation of a sufficient number of
democratic members of the legislature TO enable
the republicans to secure a majority on joint
ballot. United States District Attorney Tut
privy to the alleged scheme. Last night Gen.
Logan spoke to an immense meeting Of repub-
licans at Battery ID Armory. His address was
tration, and when he came to the mayors
speech he became greatly excited. Suddenly
he paused for a moment, and then raising hfs
aI denounce Mayor Harrison as uttering an
infamous, villainous falsehood. He Is vile,
infamous liar, poltroon and coward"
For moment the audience sat speechless,
then there was murmur OF surprise, followed
had bsen restored Gen. Logan again advanced
to the front OF the platform and said in stento-
rian tones: II again pronounce Harrison vile,
rectly and that I may not be- misunderstood"
He then took his scat.
respond to this attack is not yet known, but
there are unconfirmed reports that he has ad-
dressed . letter to Gen. Logan demanding an
apology and retraction. The matter creates
great sensation, especially at political head-
quarters. It is an interesting fact that while
Gen. Logan was speaking Mayor Harrison was
and reading an afiidavit nom . member tis Of the
legislature In corroboration.

THE CHILD SHOOTING CAsE.-A gentleman
writing to THE STAR says the paragraphs in
the ne wspapers of Friday last nlisrepresented
the shooting of Walter Gardner, age nine, by
George Courtney, age thirteen. The shooting
was undoubtedly accidental, there having been
no quarrel between the boys. When Walter
Gardner was asked II there had been any dis
pute between them he answered: 1--WE WASH t
quarreling. He didn't mean to shoot me. 1t
was all an accident" The pistol with which
the shooting was done had been taken from his
fathers house only twenty minutes before. 1t
should be, THE STARS correspondent says,
thoroughly impressed upon the minds of par
ents to keep such instruments well out Of the
reach of children.
