Westinghouse Electric company, which
was to have been held at 10 o'clock this

a unanimous surrender of certificates

probably delay the matter as much as
possible. Mr.. Westinghouse says that

while the ball was at one end OF the

game was Sullivan, sent here from De-
troit some time since, for twenty-five
years for knocking an Italian in the

Jackson colored burglar, who
was brought back from Wood

Topeka, Kan, May 1s.-The Morn

Is the strongest man the Republicans
could name, and believe he should be
nominated. Five Senators would not
commit themselves, and twenty-five
said that Harrison had made a
good President, was entitled TO q
second term, and would be renomi-
mated and reelected. These interviews
show that Blaine is as strong as ever in
Kansas, but nearly all the Senators ex-
pressed the opinion that Blaine will not
be candidate. 1t was admitted by all
who were interviewed that with Blaine
at the head of the ticket the campaign
would be more enthusiastic than with
HARRISON as the candidate, but large
number of the Senators believe Harri-
con has elements of strength that Blaine
has not, and that his election would be
