CANADY TO RETIRE
The Serg; ant-at-Arms of the
Senate will Resign To-day.
HOT FIGHT FOR THE POSITION.
Evsrything Points to the Selection of ex-
Congressman Valentine of Nebraska

The End of the Silver Debate Not Yet In
'sight-The Tariff Bill will b. Placed ON
FInsi Passage Wednesday, Another
Contested Election Case-Eulogies to
the Late Representative Kelly.
WASHINGTON, May l9.-It is settled
finally that Sergsant-at-arms Canady of
the Senate is to resign. 1t is now de-
termined that Col. Canady will hand in
his resignation this afternoon to take
effect probably July LIST.
His successor is to be chosen at a eau
Gus of Republican Senators. 1t is likely
that Mr.. Leeds of Philadelphia, ex-Re-
preventative Valentine, of Nebraska,
and Col. Swords, of Iowa, will be put
in nomination in the caucus, but it looks
to-day as though Mr.. Valentine would
have a clear field after the first ballot.
He has the backing of the West and he
will get few votes on the first ballot
from New England.
Deputy Sergeant alarms Reed was a
strong candidate to succeed Col.
Canady, about the strongest in fact.
but last night he withdrew from the
race in favor of Mr.. Valentine. His
withdrawal probably settles the tight
for succession. Mr.. Swords will re-
ceive . complimentary vote from Iowa.
on the first ballot, but he will likely DO
withdrawn after that, leaving the CON
test between Mr.. Valentine and Mr..
Leeds.
The position of sergeant-at-arms and
doorkeeper of the Senate pays $4,000.
It 10 considered particularly desirable
because of the patronage connected with
1t. The sergeant-at-arms Ia the execu-
tive officer of the Senate. Col. Canady
has held the position of sergeant-at-arms
for nine years, he was appointed from
North Carolina to succeed t'Diok"
Bright at the instance of Senator Sher-
man, who has used his influence ever
since to keep him in office.
Determined efforts have been made for
moro than year to have Col. Canady
removed and great many charges
against him have been published in the
ne Wrappers; but they have all been dis
proved. The political pressure for the
place has been very great and the fact
that North Carolina IL q Democratic
state has rendered Col. Canady's tenure
of office very. insecure for some time
Nothing but his personal popularity
would have kept him in the place for SO
many years.

BISMARCK TALKS.

PARIS, May 19.-The Matin publishes
an account of an interview had with the
French journalist, Das SIOUX, who re-
GENTLY spent few days At Friedrichs-
ruhs and was entertained at dinner by
the ex-Chancellor.
The conversation was devoted princi-
pally to political "reminiscences. Prince
Bismarck referred to his resi- gnation as
a frst-clsas funeral, but added that he
was quite alive still. He did not under
stand the French law, compelling re-
tirement from public service at 90 to IS
years Of age. He had been forced to re-
tire at 70, but he was too young to do
nothing.
Speaking of the Emperor he says: 81
pity this young man. He Is like q
young hound that barks at everybody,
that smells everything, that touches
everything, and that ends by causing
complete disorder In tho room in which
he is, NO matter how large 1t may be.
I think he the Emperor William 10 the
victim of current history, which he
might have ourbsd by a reign of tran

advantages gained in 1870. If one stone

HAVANA, May 1S.-A hardware store
In which was kept a large quantity Of
powder was destroyed by fire in this
city last night. When the Are was rag
ing and the fremsn were endeavorinS
to subdue it a tremendous explosion o.
Cured, bringing down the walls and
scattering burning brands for several
blocks in all directions. Over fifty
persons were killed and wounded, either
directly by the falling debris or by the
explosion itself.
Among the number killed were Ave
chiefs of the fire department, several
fremen and policemen, and the resident
Consul for Venezuela. The calamity is
one Of the most disastrous that has
occurred to this city for many years,
aid has produced a feeling of general
CONSERVATION and horror,
All business Is practically suspended,
and every effort 10 being directed to an
examination of the ruins and the dis
oovery of the extent of the loss of life,
which cannot now be estimated with
certainty. Working parties were at

The conduct of the authorities is tho
subject of universal praise. The high

in conducting the search for the dead,
and have offered the use of their own
carriages to convey the injured to the
hospitals.

hardware store, has been arrested.
1t 10 feared that there are several more
victims in the ruins. Over tho thea tres

ance ~ the Cameo
new York, May 19.-Baseball man
ayers expect to sec more interest taken
In the national game as the vs+ather be-

people have had little opportunity a.
yet OF seeing the Western clubs, but a.
they are now here and will be for several
weeks chances for the study Of their
work will be afforded.
The Cincinnati club comes here to play
on Decoration Day, and as it il the 6rst
time in years the patrons will no doubt
turn out In large number to greet them.
Pittsburg and Cleveland are so thor
ou4hly new that it is hard to say what
they will do. They are giving only
fair exhibitions of the game, but moth
ing more can be expected until they are
more thoroughly organized.
That the magnates have lost money
so Tar goes without saying. Chicago
has been the greater loser to both clubs,
on account of the bad weather, and
Cleveland and Pittsburg have also suf-
fered. Every CITY has been handi-
capped. 1t is said that it takes an average
attendance of 1900 people throughout
the season to enable a club to pay all
Its expenses.
Whether the Players League will
continue to gain the popularity which
1t has thus far received remains to be
seen. There are already indications Of
9 change Of sentiment toward the old
League. In Brooklyn the attendance At
the League grounds has been larger
than at Eastern Park, in Philadelphia
