There is Il probability of some
trouble between the President and
the Republicans of the Senate over
the Southern election question. Mr..
Harrison had requested as a
personal favor that the matter be let
alone at the present extra session of
the Senate, and the request had
seemingly been agreed to, but the
radical members of Senate have sue
ceeded in getting the question agita-
ted again. 1t was discussed at a Re-

Russell Harrison is working the
federal patronage of Montana in
way'that he hopes will make him
United States Senator from that
State next fall.
The Southern negroes who are
here in search of federal Offices are
very much discouraged over their
prospects of obtaining anything worth
having. The fact is, the star of the
negro in the political armament is
waning very rapidly, and it would
not be surprising if it should, in the
near future, disappear altogether.

A New South Presidential Train.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
Let Us have a homemade train to
bring President Harrison and his
party from Washington to the Pied
mont exposition. Let us have an
engine built in the South, Southern
built cars, Southern built couplers-
and let us have the whole train, from
the smoke-stack to the bell rope.
manufactured in the South. Let it
be furnished with Southern.made
furniture, let the conductor be dress
ed in Southern-made goods, and run
his train with Southern made
watch.
President Harrison would be better
pleased with this, and it would be
more significant and helpful to the
South than to bring him in the finest
train that ever ran on the rail. Ten
years ago such thing would have
been as impossible as to fly to the
moon. Now it can be done.

General Notes on the Scramble for

Tolls of the Office Hunters.

cause OF his .SlOWnesS in making
appointments Including the Cabi-
net, the total appointments of the
administration to date are less
than sixty. This is . state
of affairs that the hungry and
greedy gang of would be public
officials find it hard to understand.
They expect a hundred or more
nominations every day. This tardi-
ness on the-part OF the new authori-
ties arises from no consideration for
the Democrats now holding the
positions, but results from inability,
owing to the unprecedented wrang-
ling among the Republican polite
ians, to decide whom to appoint.
Mr.. Harrison has been talking
rather plainly to some of the gang,
He told some Indiana Republicans
that the best thing they could do was
to go home; that if he wanted them
he always knew where they were to
be found, and that he thought he
knew who were entitled to the offices
in that State as well as any man in it.
He is also said 10 have told eX-Sena-
tor Malone that he would send for
him when he wanted his advice. All
of these little things add to the glOri
Gus harmony that exists in the ranks
of the Republican party.
BY the nomination of Mr.. &. A.
Bates, of Delaware, to be L. ). Com
missioner to the Samoan Conference
to be held at Berlin, Mr.. Harrison
has virtually endorsed Mr.. Cleve-
lands position on the Samoan ques-
ton. Mr.. Bates is a Democrat, and
was selected in 1886 by Mr.. Cleveland
to go to Samoa and make an investi-

There is big fight going on to de-

ner's friends have suggested that he
be appointed and credited to some

Some surprise was created here
when j. S. GARRISON, Of Iowa, the
man who would be Secretary Of the
Interior or nothing, accepted the
position of First Assistant P0stmas-
ter-General.
Senator Chace, of Rhode Island
has resigned, and all sorts of rumors
are flying around as to the cause.
That most generally believed is that
Harrison snubbed him in making an
appointment of L. S. Attorney for
the Rhode Island district. His
friends say that he has all along in

that is hardly reasonable story. 1t

gram to THE BEE. IA very bold but unsuc-
cessful attempt was made shortly after noon
to-day to ROB the Farmers and Traders Ma
tional bank of this city. The bank fronts
upon first avenue. On the east side of the

stranger drove up in front and sent word 10
the cashier that thero was lame man IN a
buggy who wished to deposit some
money. The stranger then took n
roll of bills out of his pocket
and counted them over and over, never in
the meantime glancing at the bank or away
from his bills.
and saw HIM, but did not once think OF going
out, but watched him from behind the coun-
ter. When he saw the man was o stranger
he suspected something and glanced at the
door of the directors room, which was open,
as was also an outside door on the alley. AS
he looked back he saw the shadow of q man
coming toward the door. Then the man ap-
peared. When he saw that he was dscov-
cred, he asked Warren IL he had seen a little
black dog in there. Warren said: mo, but
l see You, damn YOU"
He then turned and went around the out
side of the counter and hurried out in front,
when the man in the buggy drove off with
$1,000 on the tables, besides over 81, 900 in
the safe The men were both utter stran-
gers, and had no further business there when
the attempt failed.

remembered, resided in this city last year
and suddenly disappeared owing different
parties quite an amount Of money, figures in
a divorce suit in Chicago. While here he
lived with woman whom he called his
wife, who died at one of our hotels from an
alleged overdose of morphine. Parties who
were conversant with certain circumstances
held that the woman had committed suicide.
She was buried in one of the suburbs of
Chicago. Chandler lived with this woman
after he had left his first wife. Upon the
death Of the former, he returned to his old
love, q Mollie Chandler, somewhat noted
singer, to whom he was married In Septem-
ber. 1881. Shortly after their marriage, it IS
said that Chandler abused his wife and in
June, 1887, deserted her. When he returned
to her, it is said, hawas extremely sorry for
his past treatment, and would thencefor-
ward be a devoted Husband But the wife
says he did not keep his promise and soon
dropped back into his old ways. Last Tues
day, Mrs. Chandler alleges, she was forced
to leave the house and seek refuge at the

obedience to a telegram from her husband
at Toronto. Jake Kilrain's wife went with
her.
A letter was received at Kilrain's house
to-day addressed to Jake, from one Henry
Hudson, of Chicago. The letter said he
won $1,000 on the fight by overhearing
Charley Mitchell, in New Orleans, tell a
man about fifty-five years old, with nous
tache and an English accent, to bet all he
had on Sullivan, as Kilrain's defeat was a
foregone conclusion. The writer also says
that he watched Mitchell in the ring and
saw him communicating with Muldoon by
signs This is regarded as very wild and
fishy story, and no reliance is placed in it.

SUPERVISING COUNTY OFFICERS.
Anderson Faiis in it ana Wants TO
Expatriate Reporters.

Through the action OF Mar. Anderson the
county commissioners ara getting into an
extraordinary ENHANCEMENT with the county
clerk the sheriff and the treasurer. They
and Mr. Bolln have clashed on the printing
of his quarterly statement. Tie claims that
the law authorizes him to have II published
wherever he pleases, while on the other
hand they maintain that their contract with
the Interstate Democrat includes reports as
well as advertising and board proceedings.
"rhe idea of publishing my statement in q
paper where nobody will see it," said the
treasurer, "is most ridiculous.n
Sheriff Coburn declares that he has not
been able to make report this year for the
reason that his time day and night, has been
devoted to keeping up with the court.
I'VE have been going 1t continuously since
February IL, and / have now got work
enough on my desk to keep me busy for the
next four weeks. The board cannot compel
me to make settlement until the end of the
year; consequently, If my quarterly report
is delayed nobody Will be injured by it, The
secret Of the whole thing 49, Anderson sim
ply wanted to give mo a shot, and introduced
his resolution"
When reporter accosted Mr.. Anderson
and inquired of him whether he proposed to
push matters and bring about an investiga-
tion, the old man swelled up, pounded HIM
self on the breast and Indignantly repied;
"What am l gong to dol Why do
you ask what I'm going to dol What
more have got to do with it than anybody
elseP'
"Didn't you start the rowl'i
"You reporters ought TO be wadded up
and shot out of the country"
The patriarchal lumbard then strobe to-
wards the door and disappeared.
Anderson, however, has been threatening
for long time to get after the sheriff, his
complaint being that Coburn is appropriat-
ing money received for keeping United
States, lSarpy and transient prisoners which
should BIO turned over to the county.
The nagglng at Roche has taken new
shape but seems to be of very little conse-
quence. Andorsons resolution instructing
Mahoney to make an examination and ascer-
tain whether or not all records in the Office
are being kept up, has reference to q book in
which the official reports of each county off,
Ger should be written. Auditor Evans has
had this book1n his possession, but did moth
ing on it because reports have not been ready
to turn in. He and Anderson have both
agreed that it cannot be completed before the
first of October

he emerged from the hotel with a natty light

the Coliseum on Twentieth street last even
ing to q tent packed to suffocation. And full
we'll does the show merit this lavish patron
age, as 1t is without doubt the best cheap

is quite lengthy, is composed Of acrobatic,
leaping, vaulting and tumbling, tight-rope,
juggling, and other performances that COM
pare favorably with the biggest circuses
travelling. The trick ponies. trained dogs,
wondrous achievements on the bar and trap

feats in athletics, won the most hearty and
continuous applause. The concert at the
close Of the nam performance is also show
of extraordinary merit, consisting as it does,
of negro comicalities, singing, dancing, and
startling exhibitions in second-sight and

Quoted the classes of the German American
school.
Humboldt academy was really the success
sor Of the Germau-American school. 1t was
opened at the beginning Of the last session.
Nearly all the scholars were those who had
previously attended class in the rooms con-
nected with Germanla hall. The latter had
become almost unlnhabitable because of the
shutting off of light on the east side by DIR.
Ramacciotti's veterinary institute and on the
west by the Creche.
To the support of these classes the Turn
verein as also tho German Ladies' School as
sociatlon contributed monthly $50. When
they were removed TO the Humboldt academy
the contribution was continued, and the
pupils were at the same time charged various
amounts of tuition, ranging from 81 to SIS
per quarter Notwithstanding the venture
was not a success financially and Prof. Hem
pei says he will no longer continue the ex-
pertinent. .& Jr-4
Ihe question, therefore, OF attempting
longer to maintain German school IN this
city is an open one. Members of the verein,
however, say they will establish an evening
school and aid it as literally as formerly, hut
| it isturged on them that this would not be in
keeping with the charter of the association
which required the maintenance of an ele-
mentary school, which night school could
