Assurances Received from MoComas's
District That uo VIII Have No
Trouble.
Congressman McComas, Of the sixth
Maryland district, adjoining Washington,
is in receipt daily OF letters from his con-
stituents commencing his course In Con-
gress, and assuring him that he will be
unanimously nominated. The Republicans
of the sixth are wise to keep McComas at
the head OF their ticket, for II has been
demonstrated that his nomination is the
only means to make Republican success
sure. The district is very close, and had
always returned Democrat until McComas
took the field. His majority has gone on
increasing ever since. In 1876 he was
elected by small majority, but was
counted out. In 1882 he came out clear
hundred ahead OF his opponent, and In 1884
increased this to nearly 400. These
are small majoritles, It is true,
but in a district which Democrats have
hitherto controlled. His recent speech on
the civil service item OF the legislative APP
preparation bill placed him among the
ablest thinkers and speakers OF the House,
and increased his popularity In the SIXTH
Washington county, his home, will send to
the convention a solid delegation instructed
for him. Montgomery and Frederick are
expected to do the same, and there Is no
opposition OF consequence In Allegheny OF
Carrot. Mr.. McComas has no need TO go
home to look after his fences.

THE oAnDrNA1,s coADJUroR.

Rev. DIR. John Foley, of sc. Martins
Church, Seems to he tho Coming
Man.
The recent report that Bishop Keane, Of
Richmond, would be selected as Cardinal
Gibbons's coadlutor on,June 80 seems TO DO
wide Of the mark. No coadjutor will be
chosen at all for the present, aud when one
is chosen IL will probably be Rev. DIR. Foley,
ofSt. Martins Church, Baltimore. Such is,
at least, the impression In Catholic circles
In this city. Several priests with whom q
reporter OF the REPUBLICAN, talked on the
subject thought that DR.. Foley was the
coming man. One Catholic pastor, while
unwilling to be reported as specializing on
matter like ecclesiastical succession, told
the reporter why he thought DIR. Foley
would be next archbishop OF Baltimore, and
probably next cardinal.
"In the fret place." said he, "Dr. Foley
Ia great favorite with the cardinal. Then
he is one OF the ablest and most learned
men In the archdiocese, and one Of the few
doctors OF divinity In the United States. He
is young man, too, hardly 10, and decided
ly the handsomest OF our clerRy-although,
OF course, that will have nothing to do with
his promotion. AS business man he is un-
surpassed In Baltimore. st. Martins parish,
the.nnest In that city after the cathedral,
owes to him all that II is. He is Balti-
MORGAN by birth, and this win have con-
siderable influence in his selection. One of
the reasons Of Cardinal Glbbons's great
popularity at home is the fact that he Is q
native OF the city. There is one thing more
In his favor-namely that he was educated
in Rome, received his ID. D. from the
Propaganda, and is intimately acquainted
in Roman ecclesiastical circles. Priests
who are graduated at the home Of the pope
almost Invariably receive ecclesiastical
preferment after they return to
their countries. DR.. Foley has been
offered several bishoprics in tho
past few years, but has declined them all 4.
Whether there has been an understanding
between him and the archbishop by which
he was to wait for the coadjutorship l
cannot say, BUTT certainly looks that way"
"Would IL not be unusual TO raise priest
to the archbishopric without passing through
the intermediate grade ~ was asked.
mot at all; IL occurs frequently. Only
two years ago Father Riordan, of Chicago,
was made archbishop Of San Francisco, aud
there is talk now OF placing a st. Louis
priest over another Pacific coast archdiocese.

Word for Brother Gibbons.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: On Sunday
last Rev. VIM. Gibbons, pastor OF the Zion Bap-
tist Church Of South Washington, held his re-
llgious services at Irving Park, on the Baltimore
and Ohio road, midway between this city and
baltimore, and seldom in the history of relig-
ious worship has a man preached To 80 many
people at one time. Excursionists from WASH
ingion, Baltimore, and neighboring towns were
in attendance, nearly 5000 going from this city
alone. Both the excursion and religious eXer-
cises were under the immediate charge of Row.
Gibbons, who preached a most interesting and
soul.stirring sermon, and kept his audience at
the highest pitch of religious excitement from
beginning TO end. There was not the least
confusion or disorder, nor did anything what.

harmony of the true religious devotion 80 char

and write this TO show that the idea that tho
colored people cannot meet In large gatherings
without disgraceful scenes aud consequent
detrimental results Is erroneous. Now, IL Is so
seldom that the eolored people get credit
through the public press for their good behav-
Tor In large gatherings that trust you will pub.
lish this and give the Rev, Gibbons aud his
congregation their full need of praise for their

YELLOW FEVER EPIDEMIC.
Petitions in Favor OF the Bill to Inves
tisate incubation.


The yellow fever scare In the south seems
TO be on the increase. Mr.. Davis, Of Massa-
chusetts member Of the House commit
tee on commerce, has received lately
numerous letters from New Orleans, Mem
phis, and other southern cities begging him
to press the bill, Of which he has charge,
providing for the appointment of q com
mission OF experts to Investigate the method
Of incubation for the prevention Of yellow
fever. The bill was discussed In the House
few weeks ago, but no action was taken
owing to the opposition of Mr.. Caldwell, of
Tennessee, who comes from district which
would receive the chief benefit accrulng
from the measure. Mr.. Caldwell pro-
nounced 1t an attempt to get up a junket-
ing party at the expense OF the government,
and insisted that II such an Investigation
were made at all II should be made
by medical men already In the employ Of
the government. The time for considera-
ton was talked away by Davis and Cald-
well, and the bill went back on the calen-
dar. 1t is quite probable that the threat
ened epidemic Of yellow fever will have the
effect OF getting the bill through this .ses-
sion, especially as Caldwell has withdrawn
his opposition, owing to protests from his
constituents and recent modification OF
the bill, by which government experts are
assigned TO do the Investigation. Mr.. Davis
says that he will take advantage Of the
first lull In appropriation matters to call up
the bill, and he thinks that, In view of the
immediate danger Of yellow fever In New
Orleans and other cities, no member will
offer objection.

NEW YoRK, June M.-The news this
morning was almost all Of an unfavorable
character. The strike OF the swltchmeu on
the Lake Shore road, however, was the
prime element Of trouble, the advices from
Chicago Indicating that the disaffection
among the workmen Is likely TO extend to
other roads, and at the same time that .the
officials among the other lines are inclined
10 make common cause with the Lake
Shore and thus settle the question at once.
Reports OF rate cutting In new directions
were also prevalent, and although denials
were abundant, the reports helped the sell
ing movement. Western Union was the
feature In the morning, and II again ad-
vanced sharply, and for what reason no one
seemed to know. The street is as much at
sea as ever. The only news Of q favorable
nature was the advices from Chicago showing
increased earnings Of the roads In that re-
gion, but It was lost sight OF in the flood Of
disturbing news from the same quarter.
In the early trading the market was
strong under the leadership Of Western
Union, but the gains were generally for
only small fractions, and the advance was
checked before IL o'clock, after which
time prices sagged off, and continued weak
throughout the remainder Of the day, sub
ject to slight reactions of small fractions.
