GENERAL HARRISON.
He Passed Quiet Day-Eewer Visitors
than Usual.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 16.-General Harri-
Son passed very quiet day, in fact he had
fewer callers today than any day since his
nomination, and the rest proved very
grateful to him. He was at work in his
library with his secretary at his usual
early hour this morning, and did not vent
ure out of the house during the entire day
and evening, being under his physicians
instructions in this particular. He said
he felt very much refreshed this morning
when he began debating replies to the
bushel of letters that have accumulated
over Sunday. He is an unusually fast
worker and dictates several hundred
letters daily. Occasionally during the
day he would lie down on
the lounge in his library and continue his
literary work. After dinner he complained
of feeling badly again and experienced an
occasional renewal of the neuralgia pains
in his side. DIR. Jamison called during
the afternoon and found that the distress
was due largely to he effects Of the medi-
cine administered saturday, while he was
suffering from sharp pains. He quietly
relieved his patient and then ordered the
discontinuance Of all medicines, stating
few days rest and quiet and he would be
all right again. HIS illness has resulted
In the loss of considerable strength which
IS not surprising when it is recollected that
he has shaken hands with about $1,000
people since his nomination. He looks
forward TO a quiet week, with the eXcep-
ton of Thursday, when he Will receive
about 1900 visitors from Illinois and south

Mr.. William Henry Smith, of the Asso-
ciated Press, is certainly not a Dem
ocrat, and the Republican daily
has been merged into this former
Democratic newspaper, the Washington
Post The new owners have taken posses
sion of their property without any demon
stration, and the name of the recent sole
proprietor, Mr.. Stillson Hutchins, has been
taken down from the head OF the column.
In its place no name thus far appears,
either as proprietor or publisher. Nor has
there been the usual announcement in the
editorial columns that all things are to be
made new, which generally follows a
change of management. One of the OBJ
jects for which this paper has been
bought, according TO the current under
standing here, is that the new system of
typesetting by machinery, known as the
Mergenthaler system, may be put into
practical operation.

Russia's Standing Army the Largest in

Russia is vast military camp, and has

hods, digging sewers, bitches, and doing all

that all the men were in the army. A few
days after l took trip to krasnoe Selo

Until the late war with Turkey, it was the
custom to recruit the army in the agricultural
district, and in the cities, resorting TO con-
scription only whenever the ranks needed to
be filled; but the late car reorganized the
military establishment, and issued ukaso re-

the field at any time. The substitute is merely

FULLER.
lie will Probably be Confirmed Today or
Tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-The Fuller case
was reached and taken up by the senate in
secret session today. The discussion was
not formally begun, though informally
the case was talked over about half al
hour Some members of the judiciary
committee took occasion to say that there
had never been purpose on the part OF
any one in the committee TO postpone
action until next session, as had been
charged by the press, and while they were
opposed to his confirmation, their reasons
were entirely of a public character. This
was interpreted to mean that there
were no charges which they considered OF
weight, touching the personal character OF
the nominee. Senator Edmunds was not
present today anu SO the case went over,
being the unfinished business at adjourn
ment. The impression prevails That MI.
Fnller will be confirmed tomorrow or next
day.
General Greedy, in opposition to the pro-
posed action, transferring the weather
bureau to the proposed new department of
agriculture, assigns as reasons that, the
cost Of the service would be greatly in
creased, while its best officers would be re-
lieved and the most inefficient material re-
tanned.
Representative Morrill,, of Kansas from
the committee on invalid pensions
today reported tavorably to the
house, the senate bill to
extend the benefit Of the pension laws to
ex-confederates, who having had their
disability removed, have since enlisted and
become disabled in the United States
navy.
The president today vetoed two pension
bills on the ground that the disabilities for
which the pensions were asked were not
incurred in the service, and another be-
cause the beneficiary named already re-
ceived pension.

PIANO MANUFACTURE.
AN INDUSTRY BEGUN HERE ABOUT

John Jacob Astor, Piano Importer of
Maiden Lane--State of the Trade Today.
A Combination.
The Germans dispute with the Italians the
invention Of the piano, each nation dating
the invention about 200 years ago, but the
former nation antedateS the latter In its
claims by one year. The dispute is hardly
worth maintaining. The original piano was
probably little more than harp laid on its
side, boxed up and pounded by some nlechan-
ical contrivance little less primitive than
the hammers of either player The piano
is too much of an instrument ever to have
been invented. 1t grew. 1t is a combination
of several other instruments, and in its day
has been made to comprehend even drum
attachment, and other now obsolete devices
for producing startling effects. 1t has been
said, too, that it combines almost all the ele-
ments of expression that belong TO every
other instrument. But in its birth, if it ever
had-a distinct time and place of nativity, its
features were so indefinite that even the name
of the so called inventor in Italy, If not also
in Germany, had to be disinterred and res
cued from oblivion by the labors of the
musical historians. The piano belongs TO all
countries, each country contributing some
thing to the perfection Of an instrument
which now holds position of unchallenged
superiority over every other instrument ex-
cept the organ, and is only challenged by the
organ when the gloom of cathedral arches
has descended upon solemn and worshiping

A County Register Forced to DiSgorge Some
Extra Money.

PARSONS, July 16.-The county
commissioners at their session last week,
directed the county attorney to bring suit
against j. X. Russell the register of
deeds of this county, for about 500, which
his Office had earned over his salary during
the quarter ending June 80. Russell had
refused to pay the amount into the treas
ury on the ground that he believed the
law requiring him to do SO was unconsti-
tutional. Russell was elected last fall on
the Union Labor ticket The platform
demanded a reduction of the salaries paid
county officials, and Russell III his
canvass said that $1,000 was am

BY means of such representations
the Union Labor party was elected, al

county. fixed KusselS salary, as register of

of his Office in excess of that amount be
turned into the treasury. Notwithstand-
ing Russell is paid three times the amount
he claimed was ample pay before he was
elected, he proposed To keep an additional
So 500 and 90 back on his platform. The
Republican speakers were using the facts
with such disastrous effects to the Union
Labor party that the managers brought
such pressure on Russell that he yesterday
