ceivfd with great satisfaction bv the SEN
at rs-a large majority-who We're dssirous
of leaving Washington, and it SCENE that
final adjournmeR c uld be had next Thurs
day or Friday. But the sad event of to-day
may cause postponement.
MUST FILL THE VACANCY.
Said one senator to-day: 81 do not SEQ
how we can get away next week. The fill
ing of this vacancy on the supreme bench
is an important matter and the p es dent
will want time to consider it CAREFUL -
Cant it go over till falls" was asked.
"The court has b en- without the presence
OF Justice Matthews for almost year, and
it will shortly adjourn"
"They adjourn, :" responded tho senator,
''to go on their circuits and it is there that
the services of the associate justices are in
demand for tFe expedition of business"
SUCCESSION POSSIBILITIES.
President Ha rson has not said yet that
he will appoint a successor to Justice
Matthews before the supreme court ad-
iourns in Nav, but already public men are
talking about the appointment, indeed they
have been doing 50 all winter, for no one
thought that Justice Matthews would live
to take his seat upon the bench again, on
account Of his prominence before the Chi
cago convention quite as much as on ac-
count of his ability, learning and public
service. Gen. Gresham, ex,PostmasUer
General, ex-S Secretary of the Treasury AMI
now circuit judge at Chic go, is mentioned
first as the pro liable successor of Justice
Matthews by almost everybody who speaks
of it.
WOULD SHELvE GRESHAM.
It's obvious motive on President Harrison's
part would lie to shelve Judge Gresham 80
that he will not have TO fight tor Indiana's
support in 1899. At the same time he could
reward his friend District Judge Woods, of
Indianapolis by promoting him to be circuit
judge in Judge Gresham's place and then an
point John M. Butler, ex-senator McDonald's
law partner, or Mr. Elan. his own remain
ing law partner, district judge.
Attorney General Miller is next spoke1 of,
but most people think that President Har-
rison could hardly give his law partner
such jump as that.
SENATORS SPOKEN OF.
Several senator's are spoken Of. They are
Messrs. Hoar If Massachuse is, Edmunds of
Vermont and Evarts of New York, any one
of whom it is believed would accept with
pleasure. All the non mentioned above
live outside of the seventh judicial circuit,
from which Justice Matthew's was aD-
pointed an, i'll which he served. II embra-
ces the district of Southern Ohio. Eastern
Michigan, Western Michigan, Ksntuc ky
and Eastern, Mid lie, and Western
Tennessee. The repu 5licans of Ohio and Of
Michigan, who are unrepre g tied on the
supreme court bench, will undoubtedly
urge that Justice Matthews successor
should be appointed from their state So
far Jacob D. Case is the only man from
D lio mentioned, and Thomas NJ Cooley the
only one from Michigan. John Sherman
could have the place, probably, if he wanted
it, but he would not make room for Guy.
Foraker.

SAVANNAH AS A NAVY YARD.
''enator Colquitt Presents the City's
PeQGest.

WAsEtHGToN, J. a.ca 22.-ScHator Col
quit greatly RI. res la it is Impractical
BILE for him TO d5iivet an address, as he
hoped, before the Clautauqua Assembly at
Albany, Ga, on March 27. Senator Brown
being i'll, all the Georgia interests here are
in his care, and, needles to say, bis hands
are full. But his duties as a senator, and
especially as a member of the committee on
postoffices, would keep HIM any way until
the Senate adjourns, which will probably
be the last Of next week.
SAVANNAH AS A NAVY YARD.
This morning Senator Colquitt took up
the telegraphic request of the authorities of
Savannah that the commission to examine
southern ports for navy yard purposes
might be directed to visit Savannah to the
navy department and LAID it before Secre-
tary Tracy, with the recommendation that
it be granted. Secretary Tracy promptly
telegraphed the commission to visit Savan-
nah for the purpose of examining its facili-
ties for navy yard purposes.

SENATOR BROWNS ILLNEsA
His Condition 50 Dangerous that His
Friends Are Alarmed.

WASHINGTON, March %. Senator Brown
of Georgia is seriously i'll with pleurisg.
His friends do not conceal their alarm at
his condition. He has been in ill-health so
long that his system is too greatly weak
ened to withstand prolonged strain. His
physician, however, says he will recover,
although he may not be able to return to
the Senate this session. AS soon as he is
able to be removed he will go to his home
in Atlanta. He will celebrate his 6Sth
birthday there next month.

OUTLAWS IN A LOG FORT.
Talk of Using a Cannon to Bring
Them to Terms.


Them to Terms.
PITTsBURG, March 22.-Dispatches from
Uniontown. Pa, announce that a party OF
vigiants has surrounded gang known as
the McClellandtown robbers, in the
mountains OF Fayette county, thirty
miles from Unionto wn. Nine men
and three women constitute the outlaw
party, and they are entrepched in a
strong log house. All are well armed and
determined not to be taken easily. The
sheriff has gone to the see of the trouble
but his presence is not likely to have my
moral effect upon the outlaws, as they have
defied the officers Il the law times without
number. 1t is probable that the sheriff
will take command Of tho vigilante', max
ing them his posse. There is talk OF send
ing a cannon t) batter down the house. An
assault upon the house or so tie from IT
is sure TO result in loss Of life. Several
victims of the robbers are in the vlgilant
party and they are bent on vengeance.

A WHITE BOOK ON SAMOA.
Consul Knappe's Course Not in Ac-
cord With Germany's Policy.

Consul Kneppes Course Not in Ac-
cord With Germany's Policy
BERLIN, March 22.-The government has
issued a white book ON Samoan affairs. 1t
shows that on March Q, Prince Bismarck
wrote to Herr Stebel, the newly-appointed
consul of Germany to Samoa, describing
the conduct Il DIR. Knappe, his predecessor
in office, as lacking in calmness and cool
ness, and as ntrary to the lines OF En-
peror Williams policy, with which DR..
Knappe had been well acquainted DIR.
Knappe, Prince Bismarck wrote, appar-
emily lost his head owing TO a lester from
Herr Branders, TamaseSe's prime minister,
which was published in the last whi book,
and the presence Of three men-of-war at
Samoa.
THE ANNEXATION PROPOSAL.
Referring to DIR. Knappe's subsequent pro-
posal to annex Samoa, Prince Bismarck
reiterates his view that to seek to effect
change in the political situation in Samoa
without the nsent of Eng land and Amer
lea would not accord with treaty arrange
ments. DR.. Knappe's action, reverting TO the
question of annexation is IncomprehenSible
because his experience and Instruct MS
ought to have shown him that bis desire to
annex Samoa was opposed to the policy
conducted by the chancellor in conformity
with the emperor 8 intentions. Dr. hnahpe
justified the arrest of an Englishman
named Gallien on the ground that the latter
had recommended Mataafa to apply to Mr..
Grey, ex-governor of New Zealand, for
assistance. Investiga ion proved that Gal
lien WIS not aware of the significance of
his acts.
NOT. AUTHORIZED TO DECLARE MARTIAL
LAW.
Prince Bismarck, in his letter to Herr
Steubel, further said that DR.. Knappe was
neither authorized to declare war nor
m rtial law, aud, in any case, there could
be no question Of enforcing the latter
against foreigners. His conduct, both to-
ward the agents of other powers and the
natives, lacked the calmness and coolueSs
indlspe sable with the treatment of inter
national questions. His repeated official s.
sumption tnat the German government had
authorized such procedure on his part rests
On willful misconception or mistake
which it is difficult TO explain.

M4LLEDGEvILLE's POSTMASTER.
Sharp Practice on the Part of Presi-

Sharp Practice on the Part of Presi-
dent Harrison.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-One of the first
things President Cleveland did after he
came in was to sign and issue the commits
sons of thirteen postmasters nominated by
his predecessor and confirmed by the Senate.
Senator ColQuitt will utilize this fact in
criticisiug the nominations made by Presi-
dent Harrison yesterday to fill the postoffice
at Milledgeville, Ga, when 1t comes up in
executive session. The incumbent of this
Office was renominated by President Cleve-
land and confirmed by che Senate Feb 2S
last but President Cleveland did not hasten
to sign his commission and went out of
office without doing so. Taking advantage
of this President Harrison has nominated
Carlos G. Wilson as his successor. This
seems rather sharp practice, and may COM
plicate OTHER Georgia appointments.

LEAP FOR LIBERTY.
Unsuccessful Attempt to Escape From the Gus
tody of the United states Marshal.

Quite ripple OF excitement was created
on washington avenue, in front Of the Ma
sonic block, about O'clock yesterday al
ternoon. Several sotlei doves were in the
United States Mlrsha's Office in the sec
ond story, and two Of them stepped
through the window out Oh to the balcony.
After standing there minute or two one
of them stepped over the railing and let
herself down upon the roof of little
shell of a building adjoining, and disap-
peared from the view OF many people who
witnessed her descent. Quickly deputy
marsh.! rushed out on to the balcony and
drew u revolver from his pocket, then
went back into the Office. BY this time
crowd had collected, who swarmed IN the
front and rear of the building, but the
trail daEnsel was nowhere to be seen. W hen
she litupon the roof, which was OF TN,
it gave way beneath her weight and let
her down on the ground floor. Like
streak OF lightning she ran through the
building, out of the back door and into an
a6ioiningm meat market, where she TOOK rel
uzs in the large ice box. few minutes
lrfer she was found by deputy marshal
and taken TO the Office whence she had es-
capped.
