WASHINGTON. Oct. 15.-Even before
Justice Miller is buried there is much
speculation as to who will be nomi-
mated to fill the now vacant and heav-
lily draped chair he but lately occupied
on the supreme bench. First among
the names mentioned in connection
with this honorable and responsible po
sition is that of Attorney General Mil
Ter; TO him the majority of political
gOSSips have awarded the place. He
but narrowly escaped appointment
when the prize was given Judge Brewer
and this time it is believed, he will GER
tainly have conferred upon him the
silk gown. Judge Gresham's friends
have not been slow to push the claims
of their idol, and many politicians who
are not disposed to favor Gresham
think it would be good policy to appoint
him, for such an act would Sheive
promising obstruction TO the possible
ties of Harris0n's denomination in 1892.
1t is believed, however, that Glesham's
chance for the vacancy now under COLI
sideration is too small to attract any
degree of attention. This afternoon
another name was projected into the
field. and if It's proprietor will only
allow it to remain there MI. Miller's
show for becoming Justice Miller will
be lessened several per cent. The
latter is Secretary Noble and his
friends are in earnest whtn they
say he is candidate. Personally
Gen. Noble is as well liked by the
president as is Mr.. Miller, and If is be-
lieved that the Missouri and kin, red in
f1uences which Will gather to Il e sup
port of Noble will more than outweigh
the advantages of personal asst citation
which are possessed by the attorney
general. No appointment will made
until congress reaSsembles in De cember,
for no man would care TO sit OIL the
supreme bench before senatorial contir-
mation made his calling and action
sure. The treasury department has
granted permission to the local authori-
ties of Keokuk. To-, to use the United
States court cOuse in which to place the
body of Justice Miller i'm state. in order
thatjt may be viewed by the popuiace.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 15.--Repub-
licans of this city are preparing to make
a vigorous fight for the appointment of
Judge Woods to the position on the
United States supreme bench made va
cant by the death of Justice Miller. and
already the prelIminarieS are being ar
ranged.
Inc funeral services in this city will
be attended only by these who have re-
ceived invitations. Those who have
been invited to the residence are the
chief justice and associate justices and
Uncertainties and few personal friends
who remained at the home of the be-
reaved family during Justice Miller's i'll
ness. They, with the relatives,
will form the cortege to the
supreme court room at the
capitol. 1t was found necessary to limit
the invitations TO 225, the seating capac-
ity of the court room. Cards of invita-
ton to the services there at O'Clock
were sent to the president, members of
the cabinet and members of the bar of
the supreme court and their families,
