SMITH GOES TO RUSSIA.
oUAY's OPPOSITION FAILED TO
DEFEAT THE EDITOR.

President Harrison and Secretary
blaine Wanted to Reward Him for
His Work at Chicago-A Philadel-
mia Man Named Harrison, the
choice of Quay and Wanamaker.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The prediction
That Charles Emery Smith, editor of the
Philadelphia Press, would be minister to
Russia, which Mr.. Smith was quoted as
calling ridiculous" when it was first made
in these dispatches three weeks ago, was
verified by his nomination to the Senate to-
dav. as the successor of Allen Thorndyke
Rice, deceased. Mr.. Smith owes his appoin :
ment to the personal friendship of Secretary
Blaine, together with the personal graft
tude of President Harrison for Mr. Smiths
services IN the Chicago convention, where,
as manager of the "Fiter BOOM" Mr.,
Smith helped the Blaine men to beat every
body but Gen. Harrison.
QUAY AGAINST SMITH.
Naturally enough, this did not endear
Mr.. Smith to Senator Quay, who was try-
ing to unite the Pennsylvania delegation on
Senator Sherman, and Senator Quay does
not love Mr.. Smith now, although tueir re-
latious are more friendly than they were.
Postmaster Ge aeral Wanamaker wanted c.
C. Harrison of Philadelphia, whose "sug ar"
had helped Sc lator Quay elect Gen. Har-
rison President, as minister to Russia. He
recommended him himself. and he got Sem
ators Quay and Cameron to indorse him.
QUAY GOES TO WORK.
Senator Quay, perhaps because he feared
that Mr.. Smith would get this place, and
he hoped TO beat him with Mr.. Harrison,
turned in his hand, got the signatures
Of all the republicans in the
Pennsylvania delegation to Mr.. Harrison's
recommendation. He got even the sigma
lures of Congressmen Harmer, Scull, Gull
bertson and DAIzell, the anti-Quay quar-
tetU, by sending Gen. Bingham for them.
When they found out that it was for Sem
ator Quay's benefit that they had signed the
anti-Quay quartet kicked vigorously, but
they could not very well withdraw their in
dorsemeut.
HARRISON WANTED SMITH.
But President Harrison did not take
kindly to G. G. Harrison, and in spite of all
that had been done for him, he received
scaut consideration at the white house. The
President aud Secretary Blaine wanted to
do something for Mr.. S nith just as much
as they did not want to do anything for c.
C. Harrison, and so Mr.. Smith was APP
pointed. [ is stated that he will not remain
abroad year, returning next winter to
resume his place on the Press.
j. Fenner Lee of Maryland was nomi-
mated to be secretary OF the legation at Rio
de ia eiro. Mr.. Lee is now chief clerk of
the state department, and was appointed by
Secretary Bayard.

directors of the bank claim to have been
deceived by Bard, who doctored the books
and advanced large sums with
out their knowledge Bard has

NASHUA's STRIKERS.
They Refuse TO Submit Their Claims

W AIDlbraJlO1s
NASHUA, N. H., Fob 10.-The employees
in the carding room Of the Nashua COM
panY, about 40 in number, who have thus
far refrained from joining the striking
operatives, this afternoon organized and
notified Agent Shaw that they were desir-
Gus Of having their pay restored. The
striking mule spinners and weavers
held protracted meetings this after
noon, at which Agent Shaws propo-
sition to submit the questions at issue to
board Of arbitration was discussed. 1t was
argued that the two men selected by the
corporation and two selected by the strikers
might not be able to agree upon the fifth
member of the board, aud in the meantime
the employees would still be at the mercy OF
the employers as heretofore. Both meetings
decided not accept to the agents proposition.
The result of to-night's conference is gener-
ally regretted by the community as pro-
tracted strike Is now certain.

MEMPHIS, Feb. 10.-The towboat Port
Eads, Capt. Nelson Davis, Of the st. Louis
and Mississippi Valley Transp ortation COM
pany, was sunk at O'Clock this morning at
the new railroad bridge, two miles below
this city. She carried a crew of about
forty men and for a time the widest
rumors prevailed. 1t is now known that
seven of the crew we're lost, all colored.
The Port Eads had tow of SIX grain-ladea
barges and one fuel barge destined for New
Orleans from Cairo. They passed this city
shortly before o'clock this morning, run-
ming through heavy fog hugging the
Tennessee shore.
APPROACHING THE BRIDGE.
The Gamer approached the bridge as
slowly as possible, but owing to the dense
fog she was unable to locate the sunken
pier. A moment later she was seen to stop
suddenly, hang stationery for a minute, and
then swing around with heavy force and
settle on one side. Men ran from every
direction to the yawl, fighting each other
In panlc-stricken desperation to reach it.
RUSH OF WATER.
One man detached the ropes holding it,
and was about to climb in when the water
rushed in over the boa y deck, and all ran
to the other side. Another wave closed
over the boats deck, and all ran to the
opposite side when she settled lower. Ten
of the crew were taken to the United States
hospital, near by, suffering from cuts and
bruises, and the remainder will be cared for
along shore. The Port Eads cost $50, 000.
