CHICAGO, February 23.-Chief John S.
Bell. of the Secret Service, arrived in this
city this morning, from IndiapOlis, where
he has been since Thursday.
He asked the Associated Press to cor
rect the statement heretofore published, to
tbe effect that Chief Bell and squad of
Secret Service detectives would accom-
nanv President elect Harrison on his jour
new from Indianapolis 10 Washington.
Mr.. Bell declares that neither he nor
apy one connected with his department
will accompany the Presidential party,
which will consist only of the President
family. few intimate friends and repre-
sentative of the Associated Press. He
declares that there is no more need for a

presses the opinion that when it becomes
necessary to protect our Chief Magistrate
with a body guard, it will be time to turn
the Government over to the rabble.

Several weeks ago there was given to the
press a confession made by one Christian
Schauze, q prominent bridge builder Of
Chicago. now deceased, to VIM. ROedigsr,
of this city.
In it he gave the startling details Of the
burning of Flechtinge', suburb of Cal
verden, a province Of Brunswick, Prussia,
in 1854, duplicating hi nself and one Schu-
cart Schultzs. He stated that Schultzs
was then living in Germany, in prosperous
circumstances, and that reward had been
offered for the arrest and discovery Of the
perpetrators.
The confession was filed before Justice
Jannasch, of this city, who Immediately
forwarded it to the German Imperial Con-
sui at Cincinnati. From the latter city
the confession was sent to the German au-
thorities. and an investigation followed
which resulted in the finding that Shuttle

An improvement During the Week-Trade
Uniformly Quiet.

Uniformly Quiet.
NEW YORK, February 25.-R. G. Dun
& Co.. Is weekly review of trade: 1t can
hardly be said that business has improved
during the past week and the accounts
from interior points almost uniformly rep
resent trade as rather quiet, or at best,
fair. The clearing house reports continue
to show gains over last year at majority
Of cities, but the number falling behind is
larger than it has been of late.
: The failure of railroads to assent 10 the
Interstate agreement with unfavorable re-
ports of earnings from some roads, hes
caused some depression in stocks, and the
closing an Thursdsy was about 81 per
share below last weeks, but stronger
market appears this morning.
The iron trade seems rather more steady;
Southern No. is quoted at $500; bar
iron still irregular. The Gales of rails in
January are officially reported as 494 AL
tons against only 394,697 in the same
month last year, and the same works have
new contracts to keep them busy most Of
the year.
The c)al market is dull by excessive
production. Copper sells for SIG so for
Lake, and the output of the Lake Superior
mines Ia January was 557 tons, against
8, $50 last year. Tin is weaker at $21. 80.
In breadstuffs there has been q strong
market. Atlantic exports do not improve
and corn goes to Europe in great quantities
instead of wheat, while the exports Of
wheat from the Pacific ports are remark
ably large. But wheat has risen ?! cents
since last week without change in corn,
while oats have declined /. Pork is steady
and lard stronger, while hogs are weaker,
each by Is cents per 100 pounds. Coffee
is a quarter stronger and oil nearly cent
lower. The general average of prices for
commodities has declined during the week.
Interior cities all report money in ample
supply, and nearly all report collections
Glow or somewhat bac xwsrd. The Treas
ury has again increased the circulation
about 5000. 900 by excess of disbursements
over receipts for tie week.

fdlure Of the West Virginia legislature to

result in COTS going into Harrison's Cab
met. Abiding to this phase of the prob
able effect Of the West Virginia Senatorial
contest, one of the most distinguished
members Of that wing of the
party in Virginia, SAYS: If Malone can
not get a place in Harrison's Cabinet for
himself be will be sure to antagonize
everybody from this State whose name is
mentioned. He would greatly prefer to
see Gen. COT to any man from this State
other than himself" The gentleman re-
ferred to seems to feel quite confident that
Golf will be selected by Harrison as the
Southern member Ofhis Cabinet. Although
be dos not come fcom a Southern State,
Harrison could, flr his purpose, easily re-
r,rd him as a representative Of this section.
This view is entertained by soma Of Blaine's
