NEw York, April 26.-Mr. Harry Fred

says "From all indications afforded by

pointed TO the vacancy thus caused among

Just before Mr.. Putnam left Washington,

Putnam's efforts TO solve the troublesome
fisheries question, and stated that if there

bench during his term as President he
should consider his (Mr. Putnam's) name
