IMMUNITY FROM PROSECUTION.
MILWAUKEE, Dec. 5.-President Lucas, of the
First National bank of Columbus. Ind, which
was recently robbed of large amount of cash

nh- MORTON TO VISIT oEN. HARRISON NExf
wEEK-soME NEW CABINET RUMoRs
The Indianapolis correspondent of the New
York Herald says that Gen. Harrison has re-
ceived word from Mr.. Morton that he will ar
rive on Wednesday, December L. II is posi-
BILE that he will be accompanied by Messrs.
Blaine, Depew, Warner Miller and senator His
cock. 1t is known here that the much talked
about quarrel between Warner Miller and
Thomas c. Plat has greatly worried Gen. Har-
rlson, and Mr.. Morton is expected TO give him
some valuable advice as to how be can best
pacify all the elements Of the party i'm the great
state of New York. Gen: Harrison is strongly
inclined to favor Miller, but if Morton should
Insist that Platt must be put in the cabinet TO
unite the party in New York. il is believed that
Miller will be sacrificed for the purpose There
is good reason to believe that Gen Harrison
has at least two members of his cabinet select
ed, and that before Mr.. Morton leaves here the
New York member will be decided upon.
TIE BIG CoSUNDRUM.
What General Harrison will do with Blaine is
what is puzzling the politicians more than any,
thing else. Fully third of General Harrison's
correspondence since the election has been
with reference to the plumed knight. Every
mail brings him letters which contain nothing
but an Endorsement of or a protest against the
Statesman from Maine. While many are for
Blaine against the world many others Of the let
tiers contain threats against the republican
party, the authos declaring that they will at
once renounce allegiance TO the q. o. p IL
Blaine is in any way recognized. or course,
what all this war of words will amount to no
man can tell, but everybody is curious to see
how Harrison will escape criticism, no matter
which wav he turns

The Haytien Republic.

While there is reason to believe that
the government has demanded the re-
lease of the steamer Haytien Republic
recently received at Port-au-Prince,
it is impossible yet to obtain official inform
alton to that effect. Secretary Bayard declines
to say anything whatever on the subject
and when Assistant Secretary Rives was
asked if demand for the release
had been made, he answered, 81 am not at
liberty to say" Secretary Whitney when
spoken to on the subject, said: TT is
diplomatic question entirely, and would
not know anything about it unless
the Secretary Of State requested the use of
naval vessel in case demand was made for the
release of the vessel in question and it
was refused, we would at once take
steps to enforce it by sending our vessels to
that country. The case cannot have reached
that point yet, as we have not been asked to
send vessels to Hayti.
Some Of our vessels may 60 there, but
80 far no orders have been issued
on the subject. Commodore Walker,
chief Of the. navigation bureau,
when asked what vessels could be sent on that
service said that the Galena, Yantic, and
Richmond, now at New York, could be
made ready for sea in about two weeks,
and the Ossepee at Norfolk in about four
weeks. In case only one vessel was needed,
he said, the Galena, flying the flag Of Rear
Admiral Luce, would probably be selected.

The Senate Tariff Bill.

THE REPUBLICANS DETERMINE TO PASS IT AT THIS
sEssIoS-THE DEMOCRATIC ATTITUDE.
The republican Senators have determined to
60 on with the consideration of their tariff bill
and to pass it. The refusal by party vote to-
day to lay the bill on the table is regarded as
significant of the policy to be followed by both
parties. The republicans have no idea
Of the bill becoming a law, but will try
to pass it without very great change-none
to effect the principle upon which the bill is
framed. The democratic policy will be
ments and antagonistic motions, and
finally when it shall have passed
the Senate, to permit it to die in the House
ways and means committee. There will be
prOtracted fight in the Senate, it is thought
the democrats intending TO stand firmly by the
principle to which they are committed. There
was a large attendance and considerable inter-
est in the matter in the Senate to-day.
