Mr. Harrison has his dandcr up 10 .
great an extent as IL possible with ma
of hls phiegmaiIc temperament. Th
cause was The publication In a numbe
Of republican pspen, including the Ne,
York Press, Of Washington specis
"a, Ing that ex-Represenia,ive McKinle,
had determined 10 antagonize Harrison
for the presidential nomination, and In.
tima.lng that Mckinley believed himself
and not Harrison entitled TO that einps,
honor Mr. Harrison has fof quite while
been monoinaniac on this subject. He
has brongh, himself TO believe that Il Is q
crime for any other member Of his party
10 aspire 10 what he thinks IL his own per-
sonal pefquIsi.e, and he has taken no
trouble TO hide this opinion from repubii-
cans that baye called on him. Whether
the statements made In this special are
true cannot say, as MIR Mckinley is not
here, but that he has presidential aspIra
iions has long been known here, and
should he, by any combination OF circum-
stances, and the liberal expenditure OF
Doodle contributed by the protected
manufacturers, succeed In being elected
Governor of Ohio this year, predict that
he Will be candidate before the next re-
publican national convention, no matter
who he has TO an,agonize. OF course u he
10 defeated In hls fight for tie goyernor.hip.
which democrats hope and believe he viii
be, that will remove him from the presi-
dental field.
Numerous reports having been printed
coupling the name Of John N Langston.
the negro es-cengressman with one OF the
new U $ Circuit Court judgeshIps. have
been making a quiet Investigation, with
View OF asceflsiuing whether Mr. Harrison
was really seriously considering such an
Insult TO the white citizens OF this country.
From what succeeded 10 learning II Is
pretty safe TO say that Mr Harrison Is fully
In certain contingencies, 10 ele-
vaie negro 10 The beach; but whether
Langsion or one OF the half dozen other
negroes whose appIi :a.lons have been filed
IL not apparent One OF the contingencies
referred TO Is public opinion. and there Is
good r.ason for believing that some Of
these fumors abou, Langaon's appointment
emanated dlreeiIy.irom the White House.
and we're started expressly for the pur-
pose Of feeling The pulse Of the public on
the subject. and that Mr. Harrison Is very
carefully studying what IL said about IL In
the newspapers.
The attorney for the Canadian govern
ment and the a,iorney- general both say
that The Ssyward case now before the
Supreme Court will mol be affected In any
way By tho negoslatior, now IN progress
between Mr. Blaine and the British Minis
ter. for making tho necessary arrange
men.s for the proposed arbitration OF the
Behring sea dispute, bet for sone cause
Mr BIsine Is yer. anxious that the aSbltra.
lion shall be fully agreed apon before a
decision Is reached By the supreme court.
and II Is stated that shen The case Is again
called up anolh.r short pos'ponement viii
be asked Tor IN the hope OF accomplishing
that end.
The negotiations for reciprocity treaty
With Newfoundland are at an end, and
there win be no treaty. Canadian officials
are responsible; they prevailed on the
British government 10 refuse TO allow
TO make separate treaty.
The idea Of annexing Newfoundland hss
not struck the administration iayorabiy.
A member Of The cabinet Is credited with
'aying that is application would not be
avorabiy received even II England gave
ler consent, because of the islands off her
;oasi being owned by France.
The partnership entered Into by ex-
Senator Malone and the negro, Langs.on,
'or the purpose OF trying TO gavianize the
corpse of republicanIsm In Virginia, Isn't
the Virginia democrats here not
sven little bit. They say that Malone
md Langston could not get out the full
'epnbllcan vote In that state 10 save their
ives, because neither OF them possess
he confidence of either the black or white
epublicans.
