Immediately began most active career,
being in. numerous engagements during
the civil war, notably at Vera Cruz. where
he assisted in the capture of two steamers,

THE SAMOAN SITUATION.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The details for
the Adams was almost completed this
afternoon. She will be under the direction
of Commander Edwin L. Woodward.
There will be no new orders in regard to
Samoan affairs given to the commanders
of vessels. Admiral Kimberly will remain
at Apia and will continue in command of
the squadron. He had instructions issued
to him before his departure, and the situa-
tion has not changed since then. The adj
miral has considerable discretion vested in
him, and may to q considerable extent ex-
ercise his own judgment in regard to what
should be done should anything occur
under new instructions until they can be
prepared and sent to Samoa long before
the war vessels get there. The thing now
needed there is ships, not instructions. 1t
is not impossible that the Samoan con-
ference will have met and settled the en-
tanglement between the United States and
Germany before our vessels reach Samoa
and any new orders sent to Admiral Kim
berry will doubtless largely be governed by
proceedings of the conference.

THE AMERICAN CONGRESS.
Democrats Kick Against Mugwumps Nom
mated On the Delegation

WASHINGTON, April There was con-
siderable discussion in the senate today
upon nomination of the delegates to the
congress of American nations to be held in
this city next autumn. Objection was
made TO them by Democrats on the ground
that they were almost unanimously Re
publican in politics and that if their re-
port was to have the weight before the
country and with congress that it ought TO
have there should be a more equitable di-
vision between the two parties.
Senator Sherman, chairman of the for
eign relations committee, which had rec
commended the confirmation of this list,
stated that three of them, namely, Messrs.
White of Missouri, Prescott of South Car
olina and Hanson Of Georgia were Demo-
Gratis.
The minority senators, however insisted
that Messrs. Trescott and Hanson were
mugwumps not Democrats, and ought not
to be considered.
Senator Sherman = Well, Mr.. Hanson
was recommended by the senator from
Georgia as good Democrat.
To this specific statement there was no
response.
Senator Frye criticized the list of ap-
pointments stating so far as he knew with
q single exception none of the delegates
named ought to have been appointed. iHe
had been deeply interested in this subject
of congress of American nations and
had called at the state department and
white house to urge selection OF delegates
familiar with the subjects to be discussed,
but at neither place had he been asked any
questions and accordingly had made no
individual recommendations.
Senator Hoar eulOgized Jefferson Cool
idge, the Massachusetts delegate, as man
of ability, an author of note-''and yet"
interjected Senator Frye, mo more fit for
place on the delegation the senator
(Hoar) himself"
Continuing Mr.. Hoar said there could
be no objections to the persons selected on
the score of ability. They were simply
not acquainted with the subject in hand
or were not in sympathy with some of the
objects which it is desired to accomplish.
He said William Pinckney White was OPP
posed to paying subsidies to ocean steam
ship lines, being interested in the opera
lions of clipper ships trading with South
American countries, statement which
Senator German is said to have confirmed.
The report of the committee went over
until tomorrow without action by general
consent, there being no further motion or
objection entered.

WHO HE MEN ARE.

WASHINGTON, April l. - George II.
Shields who was today nominated TO be
assistant attorney general for the interior
department, is about IS years of aye
and is man of high legal and social at
tainments He has been a resident OF st.
Louis for many years and for a long time
was associated as partner with General
John B. Henderson. Mr.. Shields has al
ways taken deep interest in the improve
ment of the Mississippi ana other western
waterways and his ability and energy have
done much in securing whatever attention
they in late years received at the hands Of
congress. His mind. it is said,
possesses high judicial qualities
and its bent Is rather more IN that direc-
ton than in that OF an advocate. although
be is regarded rs one of the best public
speakers in the west. He has always been
Republican in politics and has several
times been a member of the Missouri state
committee. Secretary Noble considers
himself extremely fortunate in securing a
man of such splendid ability as his legal
adviser
l.. Bradford Prince, nominated as gov
ernor Of New Mexico, was chief justice of
that territory and resigned that position
on account of some misunderstanding
during Mr.. Arthur term. He served one
or two terms as a state senator in the New
York legislature prior TO his appointment
rs chief Justice of New Mexico. There
was considerable of contest over his APP
poihtment and MIR Prince came in as
compromise candidate.
James \. Huston, who was today NOM
mated treasurer of the United States, is q
native of Indiana, about As years of age.
He is president of Connersville National
bank, of which his father was president
before him. Mr. Huston is largely inter
ested in manufacturing and farming and
is man of considerable means. Polit-
ically his record stands high. He was
chairman of the Republican state central
committee during the last TWO campaigns
and achieved a reputation As a successful
organizer and worker. He was delegate
at large TO the Chicago convention and
was at one time prominently mentioned as
a candidate for governor of the stste but
declined TO permit his name to be used be-
cause of his connection with the central
committee
Elliott s Roberts, of New York, who
was today named as assistant treasurer at
New York, is g. years OF age. He WIS
trained as printer and graduated from
Yale College. He became editor OF the
Utica Morning Herald in 1851 and has
been connected with that paper since that
time. He was delegate TO the national

THE STOMACH DISTILS ACIDS.

These, if existent in a natural quantity,
and unlimited by bile, play their part in
the functions of digestion and asslmila-
ton. But the artificial acid resulting
from the inability of the stomach to con-
vert food received by it into sustenance, is
the producer of fatulence and heartburn,
which are the most harassing symptoms
of dyspepsia. The best carminative is
Hosteter's Stomach Bitters. Far more
effective is it than carbonate of soda, mag
nesia or other alkaline salts. These in
variably weaken the stomach without pro-
ducing permanent benefit. No man or
woman chemically dyspeptic. and conse-
quently nervous, can be in possession of
the full measure or vigor allowed by
nature Therefore, invigorate and regu-
late the system, and by so doing protect it
from malaria, rheumatism and other
serious maladieS.

CLOSE AT HAND.
The Senate VIII Probably Adjourn Today
for the Session,

WASHINGTON, April lit seems to be
be the universal expectation among sena-
tors that the senate will adjourn the pres
ent special session sine die tomorrow. Ii
the session ends tomorrow it viii then
have been of exactly the same length as
the one convened by President Arthur to
receive President Cleveland's nominations.
President Harrison has sent in about 35U
nominations since the 9Th of March, all OF
which, with a very few exceptions, have
been reported from committee and Will
have been confirmed before adjournment.
Of the offices yet to be filled the most
important are commissioner OF the gen
eral land Office and public prin-
Ter. 1t is believed that they
will be filled within a few days.
Editor Osborne, of the Los Angeles
Evening Express, is believed to be the man
selected for public printer, but no salts
factory guess can be made as to land com
mission. 1t is the general opinion that w.
NJ. Meredith, of Chicago, who was sup
posed to be the coming man for pubiIc
printer, will succeed w. o. Graves as
superintendent of the bureau Of engraving
and printing
Most of the senators will gladly welcome
the respite from public cares Tor season,
having been in practically continuous SEES
sion since December 4, 1887, and Will take
the earliest opportunity to leave the city

his health two weeks ago, has returned

THE IRON AND STEEL MARKET.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 1.-The iron
trade is still sluggish throughout the
country. Rail makers are complaining of
the hesitancy of railroad builders. The
Offices are willing to accept business in the
east at S28; in the west at $50. Several
large lots of structural iron have just
been closed for in Pennsylvania mills.
Wrought-iron pipe makers have fixed
up price list which will probably be
respected. Bar iron makers every
where are complaining of a dull de-
mand. Sheet-irOn makers are booking
very little business. Southern pig-iron
makers are renewing offers to northern
mill owners for southern irons, but are
asking outside prices, and buyers are slow
to act. Nails are very dull in all markets.
Barbed wire is improving ands selling at
better prices. Ship and boat building
projects are coming In well. There is,
however, a hesitancy among buyers to
place large orders for material, as there is
possibility of prices declining still lower,
at least in their eyes. The eastern coal
trade is extremely dull. Shipments west
by lake Will begin about the middle of

KILLED BY HER LOVER.
4 Servant Girl Foully Slain at Licking
ton, KY.

LEXINGTON, KY, April betty Shea, a
servant girl in the family of John. H.
Voolfolk, was found murdered IN her
room in the Voolfolk mansion early this
morning by another servant who went to
call her. The room gave evidence of
desperate struggle, and ner night gown
and undergarments were torn IN many
places. Her skull was crushed, in with
some blunt instrument, and her head ana
body were badly bruised. In the pocket
of her dress she had worn on Sunday was
found a note from her lover, Thomas
O'Brien, saying he would be up too see her
Sunday night Her trunk had been burst
open and packages had been taken by the
murderer.
Other servants state that Betty Shea
had been talking for a long time about
being married soon, and Sunday told one
of them she and O'Brien would probably
be married Sunday night. O'Brien was
placed under arrest, and at first admitted
he had been with the woman early in the
night but afterwards denied having been
there at all Sunday night.
The post mortem examination showed
that Betty Shea would have been a mother
in less than FIVE months and at
the coroners inquest DR.. Young
testified that one month ago O'Brien
wanted him to furnish him medicine to
produce an abortion on Betty Shea, who
was pregnant. Several damaging notes
from OBrien to the murdered woman
were offered as evidence. The coroner's
jury rendered a verdict holding O'Brien
as the murderer.
Various theories are advanced, the prin-
cipal one being that the woman
last night insisted on O'Brien marrying
her as he promised, which led to a
quarrel and ended in murder. The girl
was prepossessing appearance and of good
reputation.
Metcalfe in a saloon fight year ago but
was acquitted on the ground of self de-
Tense. He will attempt to prove an abb
in this case. Public excitement was run
ming high today and O'Brien was quietly
removed from the city prison to the coun-
ty jail
