There was clogging OF phlegm III 'ne
throat and a slight choking, ana al vas
over.
Az soon as the President had break
tasted upon his return this morning no
and Mrs. Harrison took carriage ana
naid q visit of coincidence to the FANNY
IF the late Associate Justice Miller.
The President has ordered the nag on
the White House to be put at half-mast,
as a mark of respect to the memory OF
he dead jurist. 1,s-
Sneculation as to the successor OF JUS
tice Miller has already begun. senator
snooner. Judge Gresham, Senator Man
darson ATTY. Gen. Miller, Senator lei
Ter and ex-Solicitor-General Phllips'
of N. c., are suggested and discussed as
likely to be considered.
It is generally believed that spooner'
Gresham and Miller are the most lKely
men for the place. By the SELECTION OF
Gresham. Harrison could make show
inc of magnamity and at the same Tune
make it probable that Gresham follow
inc would not be his antagonists IN IN
diana should Harrison desire to succeed
himself.
By selecting Atty. Gen. Miller ne
would provide life position for his
friend, and have his advice and aid
lust the same as though in the cabinet.
Spooner, if he would accept the position,
is particularly valuable man for 1t. lie
is Young, vigorous and an excellent
LAWYER. None of these three, however,
lives in the circuit covered by Miller.
Henderson, who lives in the circuit,
is spoken Of as an excellent SELECTION
being young man who would be likely
to have long term of usefulness.
Teller also lives in the circuit, and is
spoken of as possible but not probable.
Samuel M. Phillips, of North Carolina,
formerly solicitor general. is men
toned as about the only Southern man
likely to be considered. He is an able
and cultured man, and a fine lawyer,
and would do honor to the position.
The arrangements for the funeral will
not be completed until the arrival OF
his daughter, Mrs. Tousalin, this after
noon. Among the many kilograms re-
ceiyed by Mrs. Miller to-day was the
following from ex-President Cleveland
Accept my sincere sympathy and condo
lence in this sorrowful hour. May you re-
ceive consolation and pity from Gods I'M

comfort in the remembrance of YOU, hus-
bands noble devotion to duty and his
priceless services to his country.

LATER DETAILS.
Over 500 Lives Lost in the Wreck of the
Turkish Frigate.

Over 500 Lives Lost in the Wreck of the
Turkish Frigate.
The steamship Belgic has arrived at
San Francisco, twenty-four and half
days from Hong Kong. fifteen days from
Yokohama. Concerning the loss of the
Turkish frigate Ertougroul, Japanese
papers place the cause of the disaster
to the explosion of the boilers during a
gale. On September Is gale sprang
up off Kishinoski, $50 miles from Yoko-
hama and heavy sea running. Sud
denly a terrific noise was heard and all
was confusion. The men and officers
were mostly below in the berths; those
not Immediately killed rushed up to
find what remained Of the vessel was
laundering. Capt Ali Bey was seen on
the bridge for moment with lamp in
his hand, and was heard to cry, "Save
yourself" Then he disappeared and
was seen no more. Navigation officer
Nouri Bey also persisted. The chief en-
gineer was almost the first to die. The
sea was soon full of debris in which the
men fought and struggled for life. Osman
Pasha, the admiral was swimming toward
the shore when he was struck on the
head by spar and sank. Out of total
of 600 souls, only six officers and fifty
seven of the crew reached land Many
ofthose were SO badly injured that they
are not expected to recover. Up to
Sept. q. $50 corpses had been recovered
and most of the survivors had been re-
moved to Kobe for medical treatment.
The vessel Musahi Maru foundered dur

that the sailing ship Younabu Maru has

Bad for the Tobacco Men,

The internal revenue department at
Chicago has received information of a
clerical error in the Mckinley bill that
may mean difference of several hun
dred thousand dollars to the tobacco
manufacturers and dealers of that dis
trict alone. The bill as passed by Con-
gress provided that on all manufacture
tobacco on hand at the time of
its passage a rebate of cents on the
pound would be allowed. 1t is re-
ported, however, that the clerk who
prepared the bill for sending to the
President omitted the clause providing
for the rebate, and that the measure
was engrossed and recorded without
the error being noticed. In this district
there are 100000 to $4,000, 900 pounds
Of manufactured tobacco on hand at the
time of the bills passage, making a
difference of from $780, 900 to 100000 to
the manufacturers Of the Chicago dis
trict

WAR OVER THE SEA.

PORTUGAL.

HOstilities Opened Between England and
Portugal.
LONDON, Oct. 13.-It is reported here,
but the officials at the admiralty and
the foreign office discredit the report,
that a British gunboat ran into and
sank a Portuguese eunboat at the
mouth of the Zambesi River.
Conflicting reports have been re-
ceived regarding the situation of affairs
at the mouth of the Zambesi
River. One report alleges that
one of the British stern-wheel
gunboats attempted to pass
up the river, to prevent which line Of
Portuguese gunboats had been anchored
across the mouth of the river with in
structions to passively receive the pass
age of the British vessels, and the latter
sank one of the Portuguese wsSrships.
Another report says that the British
gunboats have not yet started from Fan

Ralfour on the Potato Crop.

Mr. Balfour, chief secretary for Ire
land, replying to an inquiry as to the
real condition of Ireland, writes as fol-
lows: "Regarding the potato crop in
the west of Ireland no positive or final
conclusion can be formed until the po-
tatoes are dug, but all testimony which
is of any value, and which obviously is
not doctored for political purposes, ap-
pears to indicate that the cry of gen
eral famine in Ireland is wholly absurd
although in particular localities the fail
ure of the crop is undoubtedly serious.
The measures that have been taken by
the government will, without question,
be sufficient to deal with any real dis
tress which it may be beyond the pow
er of the ordinary poor law to meet"

The Documents in the Milwaukee Post
office Matter Are Finished.
WASHINGTON, d. c.. Oct. 14.-Papers
in the Milwaukee post-oftice matter are
now completed in the supervising
architects office, and have been sent to
the first auditor of the treasury for
his action. Thence they go to the comp
troller, who will authorize a draft to
issue for payment for the site. They
will then go to the register of the
treasury for final action. All this takes
time, as the papers have to be copied
onto the books of each office,
ard it is probable the draft on the
treasury for final payment will not
be mailed before next week. A little
longer and the vexed question will be
settled, and work upon the plans for
the building will begin.

Terrible Shipwreck on the Nova Scotia
Coast-Worst Gale in Years.

AerrIDIe SnIDWreCk on the nova SCOCla
Coast-Worst Gale in Years.
HALIFAX, n. S., Oct. IA dispatch
from Little Harbor, Pictou County,
gives the details of the wreck of the bark
Mulmerby. which was one Of the most
distressing in the history of the Nova
Scotia coast. The bark Mulmerby, Capt.
Olson, sailed from Quebec October l for
Greenock, with cargo of square tim
Der. October they encountered
a heavy gale, which caused the
ship to spring leak. All
hands were sent to work at
the pumps, which were kept going all
night, but the water gained with such
rapidity that the vessel was water
logged. The deck cargo was thrown
overheard, and the logs washed about
the deck. October 7 the Norwegian
bark Nightingale offered to take off the
crew, but Capt. Olsen refused to leave
the wreck. The Norwegian ship sup
piled them with biscuits and water, the
first food the sailors had tasted since
the previous Sunday. A fishing
schooner was spoken Wednesday,
which lay by them and supplied them
with food ana other necessities as far as
they were able.
AT this time the vessel was a helpless
wreck. She drifted about in this con-
dition until Sunday, when she struck a
ledge near Roy's Island, when Capt
Olsen, the plot, and fifteen Of the crew
started in the ships long boat to make an
attempt to reach shore, but the surf was
so violent, and such was the awful force
of the undertow, that only one man, the
pilot, succeeded in reaching shore; all
the others were drowned. The ter
rible calamity was seen by crowds
of people on shore. who made deter
mined efforts to launch boats, but the
sea was SO angry that no boat could live
in it, At midnight one of the sailors
who still remained in the wreck jumped
overheard, and after desperate ex-
ertions succeeded in reaching the shore.
His name was Samuel Cook. James
Fletcher successfully followed his ex-
ample two hours later. The other four
men were afraid to run the terrible risk,
and they still remain on the wreck.
Among the lost are Capt. Olsen, the
first and second mates, and Sailors Nc
Namara, Donovan, Harrison, Hughes,
Mcdonald and Jones. The names of
the other seven are not given. Most of
the men lost belong in Liverpool, En-
gland.
A dispatch from Cape Breton says
the storm was the worst for many years.
1t blew east and northeast, and greatly
helped the shipping as it ran parallel
with the island. Two fishing vessels
were lost. The sea was the highest
ever known. 1t swept right across the
beach and flooded the houses. Many
wrecks are reported.

A Wheeling, West Virginia dispatch
of the 18th says: GA tremendous rain

age. In the valley of Caldwell's Run
six or eight families were flooded out,
while number of cattle were drowned,
and much property destroyed.
In the valley of Wheeling Creek,
the people suffered greatly. Two bridges
on the Pittsburg division of the B. & O.
road are gone, and no trains are rum

blockaded, and the Chicago express is
ately. There is considerable loss
throughout the city, and the Eighth

ize this statement. They assign as
the cause the i'll health Of the young

cent reverses of his family, his moder--
ate income, and the still more recent
burning of the old homestead, had some
weight in shaping Miss Winnle's de-
cision. Mr.. Wilkinson refuses to make
any explanation, even to his most mt
