THE VACANT JUsTICEsHIP.
No One Yet Selected to Succeed the Late
.Iustiee Miuar

WASHINGTON, December Sth.-within the past
week the President asked for and received from
the Department of Justice all the papers on file
relating 10 the appointment of a successor to the
late Justice Miller. 1t was expected that the
nomination would be sent in to-day. but at
present it looks as If the appointment might be
delayed for several days. If the President
could carry out the purpose nearest his heart,
he would name Attorney General Miller for the
vacancy, but it is said that he had received an
intimation that the nomination of Miller would
not be confirmed. A strong effort has been made
to secure Secretary Nobie's appointment, and
the entire bar OF ST. Louis has united in a
strong petition in his behalf. 1t is believed,
however, that if the President does not name
Miller, he will go outside of the Cabinet for the
new Justice. The President has conversed on
the subject with many of his callers lately, and
the impression has gained ground that the posi-
ton would be given to Alfred RUSSELL of Detroit,
and while no positive statements have been
made, it is believed that Russell stands fore.
most in the Presidents mind next to Miller.
RusselPs appointment is recommended by Secre-
tary Proctor, Chauncey NJ Depew, and large
number of other distinguished men.

CHIEF NAVAL CONSTRUCTOR.
Probability That Wilson Will Be Ap-
pointed for Third Term,

WASHINGTON, December Sth-The belief has
become settled in naval circles that Chief Con-
structor Wilson, whose second term of Office at
the head of the Bureau of Construction and
mated to succeed himself Notwithstanding the
statement that the Secretary said early in his
administra ion that he would appoint no man
tary Tracy to change his mind in this matter
is not known, but it is understood that the
Commodore has so grstiated himself with the
Secretary by his recent good work on the plans
of the new vessels that the latter has come to
reconsider the matter.
There were, on the basis of Chief Wilson be-
ing out of the race, two candidates who ayowed
themselves as such-Hichborn, formerly of
Mare Island, and Fernal, now at the Union Iron
Works, San Francisco.
Captain Hichborn has withdrawn his name
from the list since it became apparent that the
Secretary was reconsidering his former remark,
and there is practically no competition for the
position.

The Commission Recommends Number
of Amendments to the Law.

wAsHISGroN, December Sth.-The annual re.
port OF the Interstate Commerce Commission
recommends number of amendments. The
first is that there be added to Section 8 a pro-
vision that the facilities to be offered by the
common carrier shall include the due and rea-
sonsble receiving, forwarding and delivery by
every such carrier, at the request of another
common carrier, of through traffic, at through
rates; second, an amendment to Section 10, re-
moving the antiquities in language and max
ing criminal remedies clearly applicable to a
corporation when common carrier, as well as
its officers and agents.
A further amendment is aiso indispensable,
the Commission says, providing for the service
of criminal procession corporations
The Commission also recommends a change
in Section 20, so as to enable it to obtain reports
from common carriers when desired, and call
for reports from companies owning or conduct
ing terminal facilities, or rolling stock etc.
The recommendations made in the previous
reports are renewed.
The Commission says the difficulty of obtain
ing direct evidence from parties who, by means
of participation in illegal acts, have knowledge
of the particulars of transactions is invariably
very great, and suggests an amendment 10 meet
this defect

HAWAIIAN KINGDOM.
Minister Carter Denies a Rumor Relating
to Kalakaua's Visit.

WASHINGTON, December Sth.-Carter, Minis
ter from Hawaii, left this city tonight for San
Francisco to consult with King Kalakaua. TO
a reporter he expressed the belief that the story
from San Francisco that the King was here on a
mission of annexation, is an absurd invention.
He said: II am free to say he is anxious for
an extension of the reciprocity plan to ! pro-
ducts of the Islands, and it is no doubt, on that
subject that he wants to talk with me. He is a
firm believer in the benefits OF general reciproc-
ity, and is eager TO see it consummated. should
be glad, also, If the thing could be done, but do
not think it wise to take any steps in that direc-
ton at present, in view of the attitude of the
political parties. The late election effectuslly
blocks US for the present.

GOVERNMENT FINANCES.
Money Spent for silver Purchases and the
Redemption of Bonds.

WASHINGTON, December Sth.-The Treasury
Department day purchased $50 900 ounces OF
silver at q 02 S to 81 03. so.
The amount of per cent. bonds accepted to-
day was q ,59l GOO for which o. disbursement OF
about s., $50, ,0G0 in money will be made.
The Secretary of the Treasury said this after
noon that in view of these conditions he would
accept additional offers of fours at reasona able
price, ut sufficient amount to make the total
purchases SIS 000, 600, for which he said the ex-
pendtures would be nearly SO 900 coo.
The Secretary said, further that it was mani
festly impossible, under the existing conditions,
for him TO use the fractional currency now in
the Treasury in the purchase of bonds, for the
reason that it would at once be returned to him
in exchange for greenbacks, ana leave him
with deficiency, instead OF a surplus. There
is low about SO coo fractional currency in
the Treasury, of which all but g 0o0, 900 was in
silver half dollars Asit is a legal tender to the
amount OF $40 only, it is regarded as part of the
available cash balante.
The Secretary said he would like very much
TO getit into circulation, but certainly should
rSt 81 so at the expense OF the limited available
scYDFls.

FINANCIAL SITUATION.
Secretary Window Loaning All He Car
to Relieve the Money Market


NEW YORK, December sth.-Ihe sun prints u
long report of an interview on the financial
situation by its WASH ton correspondent with
secretary Window. The Secretary SAYS the
Treasury Department is doing sll it can to re-
iieve the present stringency, and will continue
on the same line of policy followed up to this
time The stringency he says is nat the result
OF the contraction of the currency and there
has never been time in the Governments his
tory, in an era OF peace, when SO much money
was flowing out OF the treasury into the e,un.
try. The treasury hss put out over Sl00, 900 900
within the last nineteen months with no ap-
preciable effeet, and he thinks The money is
boarded. The si09,0G0,000 IN gold, held as
legal tender reserve. will never be disturbed
with his consent. He might possibly call on
the S2i,00),0C0 deposited in the National Banks
but he does not think this would be a very
popular proposition at the present time. In
conclusion, he says whatever he may do toward
allayipg the uneasiness in monetary circles he
docs not propose to let the treasury become
bankrupt.

cent. bonds, as expressed this morning is favor
able, as afording some relief itself to the none
tary stringency, but still more so from Win
oom's statement to the New York Sun CORE
sponds Mt published this morning. Wall street
regards this as an intimstion of future early
tary of The Treasury. The Improvement in the
opening prices this morning was attributed as
much TO this anticipated se.ion as to the circu-
lar calling in the four-per.eents.
THE LAW MUST BE oBEYED
NEW YORK. December Sth.- Kiernan's Agency

ly or run down prices: on the contrary, he
would wish that silver was much higher than it
is but the law has to be obeyed.
