arrested to-day at Mitchellsville, charged

WANAMAKER'S IDEA.

The Postmaster Generals idea is to begin
with a reduction of rates to an average of
a cent a word within certain distances, to
provide for the reception and free delivery
of messages by the postotfice department,
together with t sale of stamps for mes
sages. The Postmaster General had an IN
terview with DR.. Green this afternoon be-
fore leaving for Philadelphia, at which the
plan was almost perfected. DR.. Green aud
the Western Union people favor the project,
believing that it will firmly establish tneir
monopoly of the telegraph business. The
Postmaster General inks it will greatly
improve the postal facilities, and SO greatly

READING, Pa, Aug 31.-A disastrous

covered about o'clock in the rotary room
of the American Wood Paper Company by
an employe. An alarm was sent out, and

Especial to THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, May 21.-There was some
talk about town yesterday that rJohn;F.
Swift of California might be recalled from
the Japanese mission and given place in
General HarrisOn's cabinet.
The speculation on this point, however,
is based on Acknowledgement Miller's ele
walton to the supreme bench. If this be
done, Swift may succeed him. It is remem-
bered here that almost the first appoint
ment General Harrison made was that of
the distinguished Californian to one of the
highest diplomatic offices within his gift.
1t is known, too that when Mr. Swift
came to Washington after his appointment,
he was repeatedly assured by the President
that he would have had place in his
cabinet but for the strong endorsement of
Mr.. Estee by the politicians of California,
Nevada and Arizona.
1t is the remembrance of these facts,
which were quite generally known in inner
political circles, which have no doubt started
the talk in Mr.. Swift's favor. The Pre5i-
dent is very partial to Mr.. Swift. Their
friendship dates back to period covering
quarter Of a century. General Harrison
has but a limited number of intimate
friends; he possesses few, il any, of the
qualities which attract men, and in this re
spec is the antipodes OF Mr.. Blaine.
Mr.. Swift, however, is an exception to
the general rule, and the friendship be
tween him and the President is both cor
dial and lasting. The attorney general,
who was the Presidents law partner, is
the only personal friend he has in his
cahnet, Wanamakar, Tracy, Proctor and
RUsk, he never saw until be Urt them
in indianapolis after his election 2atween
him and Blaine: Notwithstanding their long
acquaintance, there is nothing in common,
and it is notorious that the Maine states
man was taken into the cabinet only be
cause, as General Harrison expressed the
view, that he could do MIN less harm inside
than ne could outside Of it.
With Noble and Window mis- relations
were more cordial, but they were far from
being intimate; and so it is argued that
should Mr.. Miller go up higher, the Presi-
dent would wish to fill mis- place with some
one equally close to him and there is no one.
so far as the politicians here cansee, who
would, all things considered ill the bill SO
acceptably as John f. Swift, of California.
More than this, Mr.. Swift has made an i'm
preston upon the administration and the
members OF the supreme bench by the brief
prepared by him and Governor White in
the Chae Chang Ping case, AID this is being
advanced as another argument in his IA
vOr.
Mr.. Swift, 1t IS true, IS scarcely located
at his new post OF duty, out there Is no
doubt that he would gladly return to accept
place in the Cabinet, and il is not imprCb-
able that within the next ninety days a
tender of the place may be made to him,
for the impression is very strong here that
Mr.. Miller viii not long retain his present
position.
