OF this district, had his corn house broken
taken theretrom. The thieves, who entered
10y removing piece of the weather-board-

Canadian FishIug RegnIations

WASHINGTON, April l3. The House
Committee on Foreign Affairs to day
considered Mr.. Dingley's resolution
relative to Canadian fishing regula
tions, and, after striking out the pre-
amble reciting acts on the part of the
Canadian government in contraven-
ton of the principles of international
comfy, directed a favorable report
upon the resolution, as follows:
ReSO'Ued That the President BE re-
quested to furnish the House, if COM
patible with the public interests, with
any information in his possession rel
ative to the exclusion of American
fishing vessels from the ports of entry
of the Dominion Of Canada, for the
purpose of trading, purchasing sup.
plies or landing fish caught in deep
water for shipment in bond to the
United States, or doing other acts
which Canadian and other British
vessels are freely permitted to do in all
ports of the United States and also to
inform the House what steps, if any,
had been tasen to bring such unwar-
rantable and unfriendly acts of the
Dominion authorit es TO the attention
of the British government.

ESPECIAL TO rHE ApPEAl.I


NASHVILLE, Tenn, April l3.-Gov.
Bate has not received official notifica-
tion of the resignation of Senator
Jackson, but it is certain that he will
accept the judgeship offered him. The
Governor is receiving numerous tele-
grams regarding the appointment of
Jackson's successor, from all parts of
the State, urging the claims of
score of men. GOV. Bate
maintains strict silence as to his
intentions. 1t is certain that he
has not decided, even in his own
mind, as to whom he will appoint.
The Hon. S. T. Wilson came down
from Gallatin this morning and had
an interview with Gov. Bate, but
Wilson SAYS he is not candidate.
The impression grows here that he
will be appointed, but the knowing
ones say not. His friends are making
warm fight iOr him.
A. S. NC NEAL OF BOLIVAR
is gaining ground in public opinion as
the coming lucky man. His con-
servatism and popularity with the
leaders, and the warm relations be-
tween him and Bate, are urged in his
favor, Williamson county is making
a pull for Speaker Berry, but he is
virtually out Of the race Ex-Gov.
Marks is enjoying a quiet boom,
but is personally making no effort
to secure the appointment. Exon
gressman Whitthorne is also regarded
as a strong man. Gen. Dibrell is get
ting boom from the upper counties,
but he is not a candidate in any sense
of the word He wants to be Gov
ernor, and would not be content to
trade his chances of the nomination
for less than years service in the
Senate, and that by appointment.
COLI JOSIAH PATTERSON
and Col. Robert Looney Of Memphis
are among those favorably spoken of.
Col. Tom Mcdonnell of Chattanooga
is also being urged. GOV. Bate has
held consultations with leading Dem
ocrats, but to no one has he given any
pledges OF favor to any aspirant. There
is considerable comment here over the
charge brought by the AmTicGn this
morning, that Senator Jackson acted
with duplicity toward Mr.. Estes OF
Memphis and Thomas Malone of tfiis
city in regard to the judgeship'
pledging himself to both and then
the Office himself. Not a
word has been heard from the Sena-
ator.
