OF an international syndicate which will

Special Dispatch to The Appeal.
WASHINGTON, March 2l.-It is under
stood that there is considerable opposition
on the part Of Senators from the Southern
States to the confirmation OF Whitelaw
Reid as Minister to France. The move
ment is led by Mr.. Vest, of Missouri, and
i. due to what has been known as the
"bloody shirt doctrine which he claims
has been kept up in the columns of the
New York Tribune. 1t is asserted that
Mr.. Reid doesn't represent the whole peo-
pie of the United States, that he has ex-
hibited the most violent hostility TO the
people Of the South, charging them with
frauds of every kind in the conduct OF
their elections, asserting even that
they have rcsorted to wholesale muir
der in order to accomplish the present
democratic solidity OF that section, and
that he has always sought to heap re-
proach upon a section Of the Union whose
citizens are now rs sincere in their loyalty
and devotion TO the Government rs those
OF any other section.
Republican Senators say that this oppo.
sition will have no other effect than ia
solidiiy the members Of their party in the
Senate in Mr.. Reds favor. To attack the
nominee simply because he had the cour
age to say boldly that which every Repub
lIcan believes, and which the Democrats
admit in private, in regard to the condition
OF affairs in the South, will bring every Re
publican squarely 10 the front for his con
iirmation, they say, and his nomination
will 20 through without delay.

WAsmISaroS, March 2l.-Therc were

This is somewhat unusual, not having
been the case, except on Sundays, since

that they came alone with very few OK.

tors Plumb, Teller and Gray, who came in
company, and Senators Coke and Reagan,
Of Texas. who were accompanied by Col.
Ochiltree. Among the other callers were
Senators Spooner, Blair, Cullom, Plait and
Iliscock, Representatives Caswell, Conger,
Dalzell, Peters, Milliken, Russell, Hit,
Evans and Cheadle.
Another exception 10 the rule Of single
'-callcrs was Senator Hoar, who was accom-
panied by Mr.. Washburne, the newly ap-
pointed Minister 10 Switzerland.
While the stormy weather OF today had
the effect OF dimlnishing the number OF
callers upon the President the mail which
arrived at the White House showed mo
sign OF decreasing Since the ith OF March
tie Presidents mail has been very heavy,
averaging from 600 TO 200 letters, and on
some days running as high ~ 200 letters
President Cleyeland's letters rarely ox
ceeded 900 a day. Many Of the communi
cations sent TO President Harrison are in

The suspension Of the Lawrenceville
Bank, Of Pittsburgh, is one Of tho most
peculiar in tho banking history Of the
country. II the bank officers tell the
truth, the bank is solvent, in spite Of the
great blunder Of putting a big batch Of
eggs into ono basket. Yet the general
impression is that the affairs Of the bank
are in bad condition.
The peculiar feature about the affair Ia
that the men who ran the bank know
very little about its condition. These
