A DAPPER YOUNG NAN.
He Visited Gen. Harrison in Very
Secret Way.
He Came from New YOrk-Who He Was and
What His Business Was-SHbieet of
the Conference.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Jan. 1S.-PreSi-
dent-elect Harrison received visit to-
day from very distinguished and mys-
FERROUS New Workers. He was q dapper,
boyish-looking fellow, and did not alight
from the II O'Clock train at the depot,
but jumped of at the crossing as the train
entered the depot, carrying nothing but a
small satchel. He hastily entered the
first carriage he came to, pulled down the
curtains, and was driven hastily to the
residence of a well-kuown state politician
and state official. Shortly after u
o'clock he drove TO Gen. Harrison Is, and
was closeted with the presidents elect for
o"er an hour.
THE CONFERENCE
took place in room where the visitor
could not be seen by other callers. About
. O'Clock the little stranger emerged
from the house, furtlvely looked up and
down the street for n second, and was
again encaSed in his carriage
behind the curtains. Direct to the Union
depot he went, entered the station by the
side gate, thus escaping the line of re-
porters in the waiting rOOm-jumped on
the sleeper attached TO the 30 train and
was off for New York The mysterious
visitor was none other than John /.
Davenport, better known as ''Johuny''
Davenport, supervisor of elections in New
York city. He tried hard to make his
visit
WITHOUT BEING KNOWN,
and succeeded, for he talked with no one
but the aforesaid state official Gen. Harri-
son and the hackman He did not come
here in the interest of either Platt or Mil
Ter, ner of any other cabinet aspirant.
His mission was of course political, but
not of an office-seeking character. He
probably answered few questions on
New York political matters that the
president-elect wished TO be posted on,
and no doubt told the general a number
of interesting incidents during the hour
they were together.

yesterday, may receive the appointments,
and should Judge Palmer receive the ap-

AN ABSURD FABRICATION.


WASHINGTON, Marcn 9.-Secretary Tracy
left Washington for New York this after
noon. Commodore Walker, who acts as
secretary of the head department during
his absence, was tonight shown the latest
San Francisco bulletin respecting the al
legged blowing up Of the United States
steamer Nipsic. He had no hesitation in
stamping it as an absurd fabrication and
he denies that any orders have been sent
to San Francisco looking to immediate
equipment of the new cruiser Charleston.
To show the utter improbability of the
story Commodore Walker says the teleg-
raphic news reaching San Francisco from
Samoa must cross from Auckland to Aus
tralia. thence across the Dutch East Indian
islands to Asia, up through Europe to Eng
land and across the Atlantic ocean to the
eastern coast of the United States where
it is taken up by land lines and transmitted
to California. So, said the commodore, it
is evident that such news could not pos.
sibly reach San Francisco before it is
known in the east, as the navy department
has an officer stationed at Aukland for the
very purpose of forwarding infOrmatiOns
respecting Samoan events, and it is not to be
supposed he would overlook matter like
the sinking of the Nipsic.

Governor Wilson Holds His Office.


CHARLESTON, w. Va. March 12.-Gover-
nor Wilson will continue to WELD the gu.
bernatorial power in West Virginia for an
indefinite time to come so far as General
Golf is concerned, unless the republican
claimant shall take his case to the federal
authorities at Washington. In the supreme
court this morning before full bench, an
opinion was handed down denying the pe-
tition of General Golf and refusing the
writ of mandanus asked for against
Governor Wilson. The announcement was
made at an early hour that the opinion
was ready, and when court was formally
opened the portion of the apartment set
apart for spectators was crowded to its
limits. Governor Wilson and his sqbordi-
gentleman himself, were present. The
opinion OF the court covers about 5000
words and is an ingenious argument in
favor of the constitutionality of the posi-
tiOn taken by Governor Wilson.
