DIR. Logan said the second was only

full not TO destroy the reputation and

TO allow this brother TO take this chair,

If we do what the committee ask, the
public will think that we have tried and

Again, the proposed action is against

refuse to confirm him in that chair, but
let us wait before taking irretrievable

Democratic Success.
Special TELEGRAM to tie REGISTER.
WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Representa-
tive w. L. Wilson reached here after
his long western trip last night, and
went home this morning. He was lit
tie tired from the almost continuous
travelling and frequent speech making
of the last few weeks, but felt well
pleased at the results of his trip through
the west and northwest.
He was astonished at the great inter-
est which the people of the northwest
were taking in the tariff question, and
at the remarkable drift of sentiment to-
ward tariff reform which he found even
in strong Republican sections. He saw
everywhere he went signs Of the most
encouraging character for the Democ-
racy and predicted that the great land
slide, which began last fall, will be con,
tinued.

ABOUT THE ONLY CHANCE.
The Itata win be Captured If She Meets
Our Cruiser.


WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Ihe brief
cablegram received at the Navy Depart
ment last evening, from Capt. Remey,
simply announced the arrival OF the
Charleston at Callao without news Of
the Itata.
1t is expected at the Navy Depart
ment that she will spend two or three
days at Callao, taking coal aboard. She
has been 10 days at sea since leaving
Acapulco, and her coal must be nearly
exhausted. She should make the run
from Callao to africa, Chill, where she
is expected to touch, in two days, or If
she keeps straight on, she should ar
rive at her destination and join the
Baltimore and San Francisco at IquiQue
in three days from her departure from
Callao.
Unless the Itata blunderS into port
while che Charleston is there it appears
that the chances of her capture by that
vessel ar. now very small.
DR.. A. NJ. Soto, the Venezuelan Min
is ter. confirms the Associated Press dis
patches received from reliable sources
which state that the Mexican govern
ment ordered the insurgent Chilian
cruiser ESmeralda to leave the harbor OF
Acapulco The commander Of the yes
sci said he was willing to leave, but his
ship had no sails and could not depart
without steam power. The government
then allowed the ship TO take enough
coal to carry the order into effect, and
she received two hundred and tifty tons,
her ordinary consumption being fifty
tons per day. The Esmeralda sailed on

A THOUGHTLESS JUROR
In the Elliott Murder Trial-He is Bounced
From the Panel.

FROM the faHeis
S2ecidI Telegram TO the Register.
COLUMBUS, O., May 2s.-A small SEN
sation relieved the monotonous proceed
ings of securing jury in the Elliott
murder trial to-day. When court opened
Judge Pugh had on his desk a paste
board shoe box which had been given
him by the bailiff in charge of the jury.
On one side of it written these words
BILL Elliott, hang till you are dead,
dead, dead" The bailitf said he
found it in the sleeping room
of the Jury Each of the jurors so far
secured was called to the desk and ques-
toned. All denied ever seeing the box
until Juror j. Fl. Behm came forward.
He admitted writing it. but said he did
it in thoughtlesS moment. 1t was the
title to | story he had read long ago,
supplying the name of Elliott only. He
had not shown it to any other juror.
Judge Pugh reprimanded him, re-
moved him from the jury. and sent him
to Jail for contempt of Court, but later
released him with Il fine Of $25 on ac-
count of the sickness of the jurors wife.
1t is thought now the jury will be
completed tomorrow.

PERSPECTIVE VIEW OF COUNTRY HOUSE.
 A tall house, or one with tower, upon a small lot in the country, is out of keeping with the surroundings. Besides, low house, somewhat rambling in it's external appearance aud simple in design, is more restful to'the eye, giving an air of comfort and liberality and of genuine hospitality within. Simplicity and unconventionality are the real charms of country life, and were best illustrated in New England home life in the days of the colonies, when the spinning wheel instead of the modern piano occupied the time and attention of the girl of the period; when our grand fathers cracked nuts and drank cider by the open wood fire in a temperature of 65 degs. Fahrenheit by the light of "tallow dip" instead of eating swell dinners and drinking champagne in steam heated apartments at 90 degs. Fahrenheit in the glare of the electric light.
 would not raise my voice against prog ress in the arts and sciences, but is there not happy medium between the extremes whereby the modern love of luxury and display may be tempered with more of the sweetness of home life, as it was in the "olden daysg'
 The accompanying cuts represent the plans and perspective view of asensible and comfortable country house, which is de- signed to be located in the middle of a large plot of ground. The building has an ex- treme frontage of 70 feet, and is one and a half stories in height, with the roof prettily broken with gables and dormer windows. The main entrance is protected by broad porch, which opens into the large stair case hall The latter can also be used as & reception room. The staircase and finish of the hall are of oak The main newel of the stairs extends to the ceiling, with cor responding plaster against the wall, with an ornamental frieze of spindle work which, with the three stained glass win dows and the handsome front door, gives to this feature of the house most pleasing effect.
