HarrisOn's Nepotism.

[Specialto THE HaRALD.-Examiner Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-The plums of

ments made on Tuesday by the President
include that of ex-senator Alvin Saunders,
of Nebraska, to be member of the board
of registration and election in Utah terri
tory, a position with salary'of 5000 o

he was succeeded by Mr.. Henderson. Since
then he has been the father-in-law Of Presi-
dent Harrison's son, Russell, a position
which, since March 4, has been a very

Gould to Control the Wabash.

CHICAGO, May 15.-The Wabash road east
of the Mississippi was sold at public auc-
ton under decree of foreclosure this
morning. 1t was brought ~ James F, joy,
of New York, representing majority of
the bondholders, who some time ago took
possession of that portion of the road west
of the Mississippi. The price paid to-day
was 15,5OO,OOO. This puts the entire prop
erty under Jay Gould's control again.
The amount received secures the first
and second mortgages in Ohio, and the
first on all the rest of the road. Said Pres
ident Ashley, of the Wabash Western:
I'VE will consolidate the Wabash railway
and the Wabash Western by August /. We
will probably call the complete system the
Wabash railroad company. We have issued
and sold $34,OO0,OOO, fifty year 5
per cent. bonds on the consoi-
81, IA 900 to pay the first mortgage
on the Wabash Western. We will
also issue second mortgage bonds of
$14, 000, 900 on the lines east of the Missis-
sippi, making $50, 259, 900 on these lines.
There are besides on the lines east of the
Mississippi $50, 900, 900 of bonds depending on
its income, and S53, 900 in stock. The
minority bondholders made a great mistake
in not accepting the 5 per cent bonds for
the per cent, instead of compelling MS to
buy them out. The new bonds are already
at premium of y per cent, and l think
they will go between and 10. They have
not only lost money by their refusal, but
have compelled US to pay about one hundred
thousand dollars more than it would other
wise have cost u.s.

The Americans Must be War;.

New YORK, May 15.-Editor Oswald OF
tendorfer, of the Staatz Zeftung, arrived
yesterday, after an absence of FIVE months
in Europe. In an interview ne said: II
met our Samoan commission commissioners
in Berlin and they seemed to be confident
of carrying their points, because Bismarck
is so gracious. They asked for the indie
pendence of the islands, and that the peo-
pie might not be interfered with in their
internal affairs. The news of the release
of King MalietCa was received in
Berlin while | was there, and it created a
favorable impression told Commissioner
Phelps, however, he had better look sharp
lest the chancellor steal march on him. It
is altogether likely that King Malietoa,
who WAS in the hands of the German ma
rines for two years, is now a mere tool of
Bismarck
young Emperor Wilhelm is suffering
from trouble in the head, which makes him
partially deaf, and fears are entertained
that it viii become serious"

THE EAST AND WEST.
The Western Miners for Duty on Lead and
the Fasteners Against It,

WASHINGTON, May ia large delega-
ton of1miners and smelters from the west
appeared before Secretary Window to-day
for hearing touching the ruling of the
treasury department relative to the i'm
portation of lead ores from Mexico Ac-
cording to this ruling, lead ores are i'm
ported free of duty as precious metal, if the
silver contained therein exceeds the lead
in value. This ruling, they cOntended, was
injurious to the smelling interests of the
western territories, and they desireithat it be
revoked, and that the ores be classified by the
weight of the various metals composing it
instead of by value.
Representing this view of the case were
present Senator Wolcott, Ex-Governor
Grant and D. Sheedy, of Colorado; Dele
gate Carter, Ex-Governor Hauser and Car
ter Harrison, of Montana; Van Horne, of
Utah, and Delashmutt, of Portland, Ore
gOn.
In support of the correctness of the rul-
ing a number of New York and Kansas
city dealers appeared. They argued that an
analysis of the language of 1888, imposing
duty of u cents per pound on lead ore
would show that the ruling of the depart
ment was correct. They called attention
to the fact that in 1880, Secretary Sher-
man had made a similar ruling and that
nard had also decided in a like manner.
The Senate committee on judiciary had
been called upon to pass its opinion as to
the ruling and it unanimously decided that
it was correct and proper.
In view of these facts they maintained
that the secretary Of the treasury should
not now be called upon TO reverse the rul-
ing but that Congress was the proper tri
bunal to which the Smelters of the west
should have recourse.
The hearing will be continued tomorrow
In support of the contention that the lead
ores imported should be made to pay the
duty imposed by law on the former, the
people representing Colorado and western
territories, put in testimony going to show
that the ores imported differ in no respect
from those which came before the depart
ment ruled that lead ores should be
free of duty, when forming a part of
an importation of which silver
was the material of chief value. They
traced the ore through its various stages
from the time it was mined until it reached
the refined state, to show that this was so.
Terry asked the department to turn to its
old rulings, to make these importatiOns
dutiable, and urged that it was not the in
tention of Congress to allow this lead ore to
be admitted free. Tariff laws, Terry said,
were based on the principle of protection. and
it was certainly not the purpose of Congress
to declare lead dutiable and then to open a
pasSWay for the evasion of that duty by
importation of large quantities of lead with
small portions OF silver. The upholderS of
| the present ruling consumed most of the
time today. and will be first heard to-mor-
row, after which the lead men will be given
full opportunity TO present their case.

Was Bishop Dead?

Especial to THE HERALD-EXaminer Dispatch
New York, May 15.-The autopsy in
Washington Irving Bishops case showed
that all the organs were in a normal con
dition and that there were no signs of or
ganic diseases. The famous mind reader
may be said to have killed himself by an
abnormal exercise of the will.
The widow and mother arrived from
Philadelphia Monday morning, in company
with Mr.. Thomas. The elder lady, Mrs
Ellen Fletcher Bishop, is of highly sensi-
tive and emotional nature, characteristic
largely inherited by her son.
Mrs. Bishop stOutly affirms that the
autopsy was made when the mind reader
was in a trance.
do you mean that ne was alive when the
autopsy was heidi" she was asked.
II certainly think so. He had a cataleptic
attack once in Malta that lasted forty
eight hours and ne was given up for dead.
He had told me hundred times never to
let knife touch him until he was decom-
posed. He had horror of being buried
alive, and consider that autopsy to have
been a shameless and cruel outrage, to say
the least"
What motive could they have hadl"
"They wanted his brain, and seeing him
insensible wanted to be the first to look at
it. 1t is horrible, horrible"

New YORK, May IA dense mystery
still surrounds the death of Miss Mary
Tobin. 1t was thought Monday night that
she disappeared April IS, but Mrs. Hillyer
saw her a fortnight later, the morning OF
the great naval parade This puts new
face on the investigation. Some of the or
gans were sent to DR.. LOOMS, expert, to
search for traces of poison. A strange mid
dle-aged woman raised disturbance at the
coroner's Office yesterday, because she was
not allowed to see the remains. She re
fused to disclose her identity, yet she was
allowed to depart without hindrance or
question.
Dr. Robinson, whose secretary she was,
says Miss Tobin had lately been eccentric,
changing her religion several times, talking
of entering religious retreat, then dis
cussed her approaching death, and her
neighbors say she was never seen with any
man except DIR. Robinson and his son. The
former is over fifty years old, and is alleged
TO have divorced wife living.

WASHINGTON, May ia romantic story
comes to Washington from Tahiti, in the
South Sea islands, in which the United
States consul and native princess figure
as the principals. The consul is Mr.. Jacob
L. Doty, young man of twenty-five wears.
who was appointed to his present position
about year ago. Doty served for some
years as page in the Senate, and when he
asked for place in the consular service all
the members of that Sbody, Republicans
and Democrats alike, gave him a cordial
endorsement. Shortly after his arrival in
Tahiti Mr.. Doty, who is a bright, handsome
young fellow, made the acquaintance of the
Princess Palona. The princess is beauti-
full and accomplished lady, about eighteen
years of age, and perfect blonde. She is
the daughter of Lord and Lady Darcy her
mother, Lady Darcy, being a native Tahi-
tian princess, and her father an English
nobleman OF distinguished ancestry.
OPrincess PalOna thas had all the advant-
ages of continental education in France
and Germany as well as in England She
is the possessor of immense wealth. being
In her own right the largest property
holder on the islands with vast cacoa plan
tationS and pearl fisheries, valued at mil
lions of dollars, and further receives a large
annuity from France under treaty stipula-
tiOns.
As may naturally be supposed, the prin-
cess has not lacked suitors for her hand.
but she threw them all over for the young
American, and in a recent letter from Mr..
Dolly to his mother in this city the an
nouncement is made of their betrothal
Lord Darcy, it is said, had decided that
his daughter should marry in her own sta
ton, but like a sensible man, gave up his
objections when he saw what direction mat
ters were taking. The fact is, the young
man can boast of a lineage quite as noble
as that of his prospective father-in-law.
He is great grandson of Lord Melbourne,
who was, half century ago, Queen Vic
tOria's prime minister. He is also related
to the Wallaceys, the McPhersons and other
families of note in Great Britain.
