PosrMASTER GENERAL.
General Harrison Said to Have Of
fered Wanannaker the place.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 20.-It was given out
late last night by one of the best informed
Republicans here that John Wanamaker was
the one man who could now be counted
on for a cabinet position. General Harri-
son." he said, ''has inquired ON numerous
occasions about Mr.. Wanamaker's qualifca-
tions, and has often expressed himself as
highly satisfied with the Philadelphia mer-
chants fitness for the head Of one Of the de-
partments of the government. Senator
Quay's coming was only needed to clinch tho
preference of the President-elect. Mr.. Wan
amaker will be member of the next cabinet
you can count on that from today. l know
that General Harrison liked Wanamaker
from the start. and that Quay got what he
wanted"
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 19.-"The North
American" edited by Clayton McMichael,
says 1t has excellent authority for making
the positive statement that President-elect
Harrison has decided to appoint John Wan
amaker PostmaSter-General The infOr-
nation comes from one of Philadelphia's
best-known business men, who Is warm
friend Of Mr. Wanamaker. Said he: "Gen-
eral Harrison has been in communication
with number Of the most prominent Re
publican merchants, Mr.. Wannamaker in
cluded. Several Of these men have been in
vited to visit him in indianapolis. l think
can safely say that nearly all Of them have,

elect, advocated the appointment of Mr..
Wanamaker. In addition to the support Of
Senators Quay and Cameron, Mr.. Wana-
maker has a staunch friend in Mr.. Morton.
His appointment was settled while Mr.. Nor
ton was in Indianapolis last week" Mr..
Wanamaker will not talk, his invariable
answer to interviewers being: ''Since my
name was first mentioned l have RETAINED
from talking on this subject. ] cannot break

our Undesirable Immigrants.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Dec. 20.-Members of the
congressional committee on pauper immigra-
tion are busy today arranging preliminaries
for the investigation here tomorrow. Con-
gresham Ford stated that the committee
had already collected evidence enough in
New York and other eastern cities to con-
vince them that the FIVE prohibitory immigra.
ton law, were openly violated. As result
of the Investigation. the committee will sug-
gest the following remedies:
First, that the work of inspection be taken
out of the hands of the States, and put un-
der federal control; that money be appropri-
ated yearly to carry on the work that for
eigners be examined on the other side before
they board the ships. either by our consuls
or by inspectors appointed for the purpose,
and that the steamship companies be fur
nished blanks on which shall be printed GER
tain questions which the applicant for pa S.
sage. shall be compelled to answer. These
blanks can be examined on this side, before
the landing takes place, and if it is found
that perjury has been committed, the person
can be prosecuted. IL the steamship compa-
nies do not comply with these conditions,
and prohibited immigrants are found on
their vessels. they will be compelled to take
them back free of charge.

The Big Battle ship Designed for
Coast Defence.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The Navy Depart
ment has given out the proposals for the con-
struction of the new sea coast defence war
ship. This vessel was called for two years
ago by Congress, and the sum of $4,000
was appropriated for her construction. Sec
retary Whitney began at once to get desIra-
BILE plans for the vessel The matter was
thoroughly inquired into by the Secretary,
and after definite plans had been determined
the naval constructors were ordered to get
the details. For nearly a year the officials
have worked indefatigably upon the plans
and recently they finished them. They
worked quietly and only the draughtsmen
and few naval officers were aware .of what
was going on.
The vessel to be constructed will be about
$50 feet long. 55 feet beam, and is to have a
speed of fifteen knots per hour. She will
have two screw propellers, and her armor
plate will be of steel IL inches thick. The
made of heavy steel. very thick.
There will be two turrets, one for
ward and one aft. In the first will be
mounted one sixteen inch gun, In the lat ter
will be twelve inch gun. Her second airy
battery will comprise the latest improved
Hotchkiss and Gatling guns Of heavy and
small calibre. The turrets are to be so con-
structed as to revolve with ease and thus
enable range at any point to be easily had
She is to be SO constructed that when in
battle but very little of her sides will be ex-
posed to an enemy's fire. She is considered
to be an improved type of the Miantonomah,
and is looked upon as the Terror. Three
years or more will be required for construct
ing, and it is thought that when finished she
will cost fully 100000.
The department is guarding jealousy the
plan of construction, and so far no one is
permitted to give out the details or. in fact,
any information relative to the new vessel

cases of mistletoe have been passed through
the custom house this season. They are
valued at about $50 each, making total of
over $4,000. The perishable nature of this
investment may be understood when it is
known that exposed to dry, warm atmos-
phere the mistletoe becomes more brittle
than gelatine films and breaks under the
slightest pressure. An attempt has been
made to grow it in this country, but without
success, the mistletoe of Tennessee, a very
inferior specimen of the parasite, being prac-
tically the only kind that thrives here.
Great quantities of holly are native, being
brought from the northern part of the State,
Maine. New Hampshire, and Vermont at a
small cost. Some, too, is imported, but not
very much. The prices for mistletoe are
trifie higher than they were last season, for
1t requires % cents to purchase very ordin-
airy looking bunch, while fne specimen
with the original branch upon which the
parasite clings costs S1.50 and 50. The holly
is much cheaper. Pretty wreaths. red ber-
ries and all, may be bought for $1.50 dozen
or from Is to % cents each. More elaborate
designs, such as stars, notices, and the like,
cost proportlonately but whatever may be
the retail price, the purchaser may be conf
dent that he is paying just double what the
decoration was charged for by the whole

Powderly to the KNIGHTS.

New YORK, Dec. 20.-It is understood that
General Master Workman Powderly will
shortly issue circular to all Knights of
Labor, pointing out the necessity for laws
making employers liable to employees for
loss Of life, or time, through accidents oc-
curing through the negligence or indiffer-
ence Of employers, or their agents. He will
advise course Of action for every assembly
in the order throughout the United States.
Officers of the Miners National Trade dis
trict will also issue an appeal to their mem
bers urging them not to join the Amerl can

Knights of Labor.
In the Journal of United Labor, issued al
Philadelphia today, Mr.. Powderly says, over
his own name: "Since the first session OF
the general assembly, eight State labor

have been established, and to this order
more than to any. other cause, must the

HOLLY AND MIsTLEToE.
Large Quantities Imported for the
Christmas Festivities.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20-All along Washing
ton and Greenwich streets are scores of
booths and stores sreen with mstletoe and
holly in every inclination and shape that
Christmas fancy can suggest. Anglomania
has very little to do with it, for the beauty Of
the two is far more than sufficient to make
them favorItes. So this season the house
whose drawing room and plum pudding are
not adorned with sprigs of either will be so
decidedly out of the custom that sheriff s
jury may be properly called to consider the
matter
Recently almost every steamer from Eng
land has brought a hundred or more cases of
mistletoe. and this will keep up almost to
Christmas Eve, for the sale of ''greens" con-
tinues to boom until then. Some unfortu-
nate importers have consignments come all
the way up to New Years, but these are usu-
ally made use Of as means for kindling re-
fractory kitchen fires and the like. having no
commercial value There has been of late
considerable loss sustained by the import
ers. Owing to the heat within the steamers
holds the mistletoe and holly have either
withered OF mildewed. SO that it is quite a
surprise If, out Of consignment Of 100 cases
Containing from so to 90 pounds each, there
are more than 30 cases marketable. One i'm
porter lost all but three cases out of a con-
signment of 100, suffering about 500 loss

Hayes called upon Gen. Harrison by ap-

maine purpose of the conference was to OBJ
tain from the ex-President some information
acquired in his experience as chief magis-

Mr.. Hayes will be offered mission abroad
by the new President. Among Gen. Harri-
sons other callers Of prominence was Col.
William Cassius Goodloe Of Kentucky, who
had charge Of the assignment Of speakers at
national Republican headquarters during the
campaign. 1t is currently reported that
Col. Goodloe aspires to an important posi-
tion under the incoming administration.

survivors of the regiment have been quietly
making preparations for the trip and will go

ever before more than 10000 boosters will

FIGHTING AT suAKIM.
a Brilliant Charge Upon the Re-
doubts of the Rabels.


LONDON, Dec. 20.-A despatch from Sua-
kim says the combined force Of British and
Egyptians made an attack yesterday upon
the rebel position. They stormed the re-
doubts and trenches and after brilliant en-
gagement lasting half hour drove the enemy
into the bush. The Egyptian and black regi
ments charged the trenches, losing two men
killed and 30 wounded. Before dawn this
morning the British man-of-war Startling and
an Egyptian steamer moved up the coast
with orders TO cover the rebels at HandCub.
At daybreak the forts opened fire upon the
rebel trenches and the troops advanced 10 the
attack. the Black Brigade on the right flank
and the cavalry and mounted infantry on the
left The Scottish Borderers, the Welsh regi-
ment and the Egyptian brigade occupied an
embankment between the forts, the Brltirh
infantry being held in reserve. The forts
sheled the trenches, keeping up a terrific
fire. The enemy held their ground with in
tense courage until the Black Brigade charged
the trenches, which fell alter half an hours
hard fighting. The rebels fought with fanat-
ical bravery. Two of the enemy's guns were
captured. The naval brigade did splendid
work. The Scottish Borderers are now at
work entrenching the rebel position. The
enemy are retreating towards Hasheen and
lamar. The British force numbers four
thousand men.
