SENATOR H1sCoCK's v1cToI
The Nomination Likely to be Made To-Day
 by the President.

No Big Grand Army Mnn Willing to Take
 the Responsibility of the Positton-vice.
 President Morton Worked for Poole-It
 Is Asserted that tho Appointment Ha.
 Been Fully Decided Upon.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 1s.--The Pension Commissionship has been nearly settled so many times that all reports conccrn. ing it arc received of late with r,s"r vation of doubt. But 1t looks this time as if 1t were go and that Mir. Poole of New York, whom i: .natos uiscoek has been pressing for the place since before Tanner was appointed. will be tho next Commissioners.
 MT. Hiscock has beon working fo, Poole with all his might, and the Vice, President was at tho White House pre-. sumably talking on tse samo sub; ect. Candidates, one Ut q time. have beer jected, and the big Grand Army meE have been unwilling to take the reapon. abilities of the position.
 Meanwhile Poole has stood steadily as candidate and Hiscock has been pulling the wires in his favor.
 The only thing, it is understood, that stood in his way from the first. was the desire on the part of the President te get prominent Grand Army leader to take tho place. Failing in this, tn 6 name of Poole came strongly to the front again, and 1t is asserted now that his appointment has been decided upon and is liable to be made any hour.

AT THE ANARCHISTS GRAVES.

Flowers Strewn by Socialists After the Ad
 journment of Their Convention.
 CHICAGO, Oct. 1s.-When the conven- tion of the Socialist Labor Party came to close the delegates wont in body to Waldheim Cemetery and decorated the graves of the anarchists.
 The convention adopted resolution concerning the flag episode that occur red during Sundays mass meeting. The resolution declared that those who hissed the American flag at tho meet ing were either fools or police spies and did so only to give the ''capitalistic press" another opportunity to vent its spite against Socialists and Socialism.
 The convention fixed upon Brooklyn as the seat of the Executive Committee; upon Boston as the seat for the Board of Appeals, and New York as the seat for the party organs. The Brooklyn section are said to be in entire harmony with the Shevitch faction of the party and will elect an executive committee who will support him in his attemp t to control the Socialists of America. Tho anti-Shevitch faction when assembled in convention last month chose Chicago as the seat of the Executive Committee. The result will be split in the Social istic party. The convention did not select tho time and place for the next congress.

Graham Arrested the Second Time and
 Again Bailed-AIcxander Sullivan Tells
 About Kavannugh's Visit Gossip About
 Dr. O'Reilly's Departure for Europe-A
 Belief that He Is Seeking ParnelI's Help.
 CHICAGO, Oct. 1S.-O'Donnell, kavan- augh, Konen and Graham. who were in- dicted for attempted jury bribery in the Cronin case and who secured bail with out difficulty, were not allowed to be at liberty for any length of time. tho reg ular Grand Jury having indicted the same men tor conspiracy. Capiases were issued for their arrest and an hour later Graham and Kavanaugh were in custody.
 F. H. Frude, brother of Graham's en- ployer, hearing of the young mans ar rest, appeared in court ana secured the prisoners release. The others have not yet been gathered in. but the authori- ties are in no hurry about arresting them. as not Q man now under suspicion could leave town were he so disposed
 Every suspect is being closely shad- owed night and day. Ex-Bailiff Hanks was released on s15, 900 bail.
 Stoltenberg, Alexander Sullivan's pri- vate secretary, was released pending further inquiry.
 It is pretty difficult to interview Alexander Sullivan under any circum- stances, but reporter essayed the task after Judge Longenecker's open and significant statement that Kavanaugh had been in consultation with Sullivan. "I have nothing to say," Mir. Sullivan said, ''save that MT. Kavanaugh was at my office. Our firm has been for long time his legal adviser and he was to see us on legal business. If there is any thing suspicious in that, you have the fact. He certainly was at our office this afternoon"
 It Is nov pretty we'll understood that the defense of at least two of the indi- viduals who are on trial for the murder of Dr. Cronin will ba that tho remains were not sufficiently identified and that there is no legal proof that tho corpse found In the Lakeview catch basin was that of the Irish physician.
 Singularly enough, the Probate Court has within the past four days provided 9 case which may be used as an illustrative argument. This is the case of Nicholas Gehrig, who disap- peared some time ago, and who ap- peared in the flesh last week to claim the interest on his bonded investments after what was supposed to have been his body had been fully identified by a number of those who knew him we'll.
 The sudden departure of Dr. O'Reilly and Colonel John Atkinson, the leading Irish Nationalists. for London has given rise to a great deal of gossip here. It is believed they have gone to enlist Par nell's help in behalf of Alexander Sul- ivan.
 Parnell is under great obligations to Sullivan in connection with the ex- posture of the Pigott forgery, and this fact is given as a reason for the alleged efforts of O'Reilly and Atkinson.

AN IRISH PRIEST IN COURT.

Father McFadden on Trial for tho K filing
 of a Police Inspector.
 LIMERICK, Oct. 1s.-The court room at Mayboro was packed when the selection of jurors began for the trial of Father McFadden and others for the killing of Police Inspector Martin at Gweedore, County Donegal, on February 3rd last. Both the counsel for the crown and the prisoner exercised freely their pre- rogative of objecting to the presence of certain men in tho jury-box and their alternate objections increased the ex- citement, already high, until every one in the room was under it's influence.
 Several of the jurors protested vehe- mently against the objections raised by the Crown counsel to their serving in the case and the Court finally ad- journed without filling the jury box.
 It is not unlikely that serious trouble will result If the Crown persists in its present course. Word has been sent to all the Catholic farmers about Mary boro that Catholics are being rigidly ex- cluded from the jury and the excite ment resulting Is at such pitch that many of those notified will undoubted- ly como to town determined to see jus tice done. A large force of police are on the way to Maryboro from Dublin.
