A Democratic View.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 27.-Regarding
President Harrison's diplomatic appoint
ments, Mr.. Watterson will say in to-mor-
rows Courier-JOurnal:
There is no denying that the administration is
getting in some very astute political and party
work iii its appointments TO office. With the ex-
ceptions of Manamaker and Tanner, Mr.. Hari-
son, whilst selecting active and orthodox Repub-
Icans OF the most pronounced description, has
shocked no popular or moral sensibility, but has
rather impressed the country with the idea that
he is a clear headed. well-intentionedman, work
ing for the best with great intelligence within
his own party lines. The batch OF diplomatic
nominations sent to the Senate yes
terday completes the list of foreign places
of Importance to be filed, and, though
containing some surprises IL will, on the whole.
give pretty general satisfaction. The nomina-
ton or Robert Lincoln as minister to England is
at once surprise aud a ten-strike. Taken in
connection with the selection of Fred Grant for
Vienna, ii conveys an appeal TO the young repub-
licanism OF the period which cannot fail TO have
its effect. Both these sons of illustrious sires
are American gentlemen without reprOach, and
fully qualified personally and officially. to repre-
sent the country handsomely and adequately in
the old world. In bringing the journalism OF the
party to the front, and stimulating that
important branch of party service, the
President shows both wisdom and sagac-
ity. No better minister to France
could have been found in any walk OF life than
Whitelaw Reid. and no filter consul general to
London than John c. New. Now. we have Murat

THE LIGHT WEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP.
Murphy and Weir Are Ready, and the Fight
Will Take Place Within Short Time.

CHICAGO, March 27.-The Evening Jour-
nal publishes the following: within the
next sixty hours Frank Murphy, of Bir-
mingham, England, and Ike ONeil Weir,
of Belfast, Ireland, will have met within
the ring for the feather-weight champion
ship of the world. The articles of agree
ment stipulate that the mill shall take
place by Friday. and Charles Z Davies said
this morning that the conditions would be
complied with to the letter. All the ar
rangements have been made. the men are
ready, and with the comparative few that
have been selected as spectators, are only
waiting for the word go.' This word will
be given out but three hours before the
fight by Mr.. Davies. who has the secret of
locality and time locked in his own bosom:
1t is known, however, that the former Will
be within two hours ride of this
city, and the latter either tonight OF
meeting approaches the interest increases
In intensity, and the sporting resorts are
crowded, not only with the local fraternity
but with delegations from the East, and from
Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin and other
nearby States. But a small proportion of
these, however will be in at the finish, for
only 100 men, all told, will be admitted to
the special train; the tickets have been
cOupOned and cOunterSigned to such an eX-
tent that forgery or imitation is simpOSslble;
and ten broad-shOuldered members of the
sporting fraternity, several of whom bave
themselves seen service in the ring. have
been specially assigned by Davies to see to
1t that interlOpers and frauds who may
attempt to secure entrance to the special
are thwarted. The fight, as is pretty gen.
orally known, is to be with skins gloves and
to the finish. The purse is ST. 800 of which
the loser will receive $3.50. as balm for his
injuries while the winner takes the bal
ance as well as the belt presented by Rich
ayd X. Fox, as emblematic of the cham
blood, and, barring accidents, there is
no question but that the mill will be
a desperate one. Murphy, who has been in
training at BelOit, Wis, is in perfect cOndi-
tiOn. He has long desired to meet the
Spider and the fact that his ambition is
In so fair way of being realized has put
him in unusually good spirits. Weir has
trained in this city, and the man who has
him IN charge says that he is IN shape to
teresting. there is no good feeling on Weirs
part toward his adversary. and this is ac-
cepted as an indication that he will fight
wickedly. 1t is promised there will be
nothing of the McAuliffe-Myers sort of
fighting in the coming MILL and the fact
that Parson Davies holds the stakes, and
that he has declared that he will not give
them up until one or the other is knocked
out, is guarantee that everything will be
on the square. Dick Roche, of ST. Louis,
will be referee, and the men will strip at
100 pounds. Betting is heavy, with a slight
advantage toward Weir. The largest bet
so far announced is one of $4,000, even, be-
tween William DAILY. jr., and Ed McAver,
the latter favOring Weir"

International Land Company people with
dread. 1t is said that, by mistake in the
English maps at the times of the treaty of
Guadaloupe Hidalgo, the boundary line be-
tween the United States and Mexico was
placed sixty miles too far north, and that
the real boundary terminates on the Pacific
ocean at a point some distance south of
Esenada. The treaty prescribes that the
line shall cut the mouth of the Colorado
river, but the English maps-the only ma ps
extant at that time-had the Gila river,

marked as the Colorado river. The mouth

station about twelve miles from here, last
evening, and engaged rooms at the Lindsay
House. One of the men was about fifty
years of age and the other considerably
younger. The latter left the hotel early in
the evening and it is supposed he came to
this city. The elder man did not appear
this morning and the room was broken into.
He was found lying across the bed with his
throat cut from ear TO ear, dead.

with blood, and it is thought that with the
latter the deed was committed. In the

THREE GOOD MEN WANTED.

One for the Interstate-C and Two
for the Civil-Service Commission.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March ga vacancy will
be created in the Interstate-commerce Com
mission next week. The commission of Mr..
Walker, who has resigned to accept lu-
crative position in the employment of a
railroad association, will expire within a
few days The President does not recognize
an emergency in this instance, however. as
the law does not require the filling of a
vacancy on the Interstate-commerce Com
mission Immediately after it is created. and
therefore q new Interstate-commerce Com
missioner may not be named for some weeks
yet. 1t is very difficult to select the proper
man for the place. He must have had eX-
perience in commercial business, if not rail-
road transportation, and at the same time
must be without the influence of transpOr-
tation companies or companies which could
be favored by the action of the commission.
1t is the purpose of President Harrison to
appoint at least two new civil-Service COM
missioners before the present extra session
of the Senate adjOurnS, next week. 1t is not
known whether Mr.. Lyman, the only COM
missioner in charge of the commission at
present, will be retained. He was one of
the first commissioners appointed, and re-
tained his position throughout the Cleve-
land regime by reason of his inOffensive
partisanship. A large number of Repub-
licans have protested against his being
kept in the place. claiming that he is not a
Republican, or, if he can he classed as q
Republican. is not sufficiently pronounced
to represent the party. The President
wants commissioner nominated sufficient
ly early to receive action by the Senate be-
fore it adjourns, as it is very difficult to
select civil-service commissioners who will
pass the requirements, not only set up by
the law, but by the Senate.
