20 lcf. Il viii therefore be readily
that the statesmen will have TO stir

,to an Of March. The House hes passed
80. largest Of the appropriation

e,.ta Is not only backward, but
90 10 be giving rather too
h ,;r-a 10 the general business outside

GA. RAGGED along because IL has been
,.5 3oWn with amendments, and II IL
torly doubtful u that measure will

t.e.. here viii be big fight over several
- ,Ee amendments. IL seems to DO as
c..l as lost.

OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED.

y.- Uaie ally announced tins after

g. ..rravrIate action WAS taken by both
o.. ~.r.'. and the House
l.--a. sherman and General Joseph Il.
r.....r were intimate friends before the
.,I although they fought against
. ..tar during tho late unpleasantness
-rsrsaual friendship was never cooled.
rf..ItafW1 venerable warriors had the
.......-sf'aehment for each other. When
II .lI..-.-.r Administration took hold OF
.-s General Johnston was the Commits
.-.- .t Railroads. a place 70 which he
"a. Dob iltel by Mr.. Cleveland.
HARRISON REFUsED.
r.r.-l sherman wanted his friend re-
t..-I and as there was no politics in
,.,f Do made special appeal 10 the
r......rt t1 keep in office the Confederate
,.s-.r II was strong evidence of the
o.. G.'r. between these generals that
a-..n.st should have been made, but
II Il snNa oct q
t..s-.. So. ruan made Of him, and General
..-aa frequently complained Of the dis
r,.. s 10 HIM by the President.
QUITE A UTFFERKScE.
Genera. Rosccrans is still the Register of
ell. T-.s.rrr. and is r Democrat. General
.r-s0. IS Is cousin Of the wife Of Chaun-
am. I.rsv. and the powerful influence
o. dc l--ldeut Of the great New
F-s Central railroad keeps "old
..r7 ir soft berth. There is
II E- difference General Sherman
u. r-v.fe citizen and had little
..I influence, hence the shabby treat
r1ai him by the present Admin
n ..-..r. To-day the President gushed in
II t..-...- l Congress over the death OF
II r,1tr. Sherman. Hemight have granted
II g. tu simple request while the OLD
Il v--..r Was living.
TIE TREASURY PORTFOLIO.
II T.-4i. q report being quietly circulated
n t.r.t.e leading men TO the effect that
Fl ill.,. fa,t Harrison has made a selection
II .-,a ling Of the vacancy OF the Trea-
Fl rv caused 10y the death of Secre-
Fl n Window. The belief IS that
. rIy.r4ar Foster. of Ohio, is the
Fl s-.- man. He has been very
III .grseommended by men Of powerful
III .al influence, and it is claimed by
III l.t--sl who are accredited with having
IL rst.-' n facilities for obtaining inside
II r.-~.-.1n. that the President not only
hs,3 .yer the matter at the Cabinet,
r.e.,-. but that he informed the men,
i-ttae Cabinet that he had decided to
g. -, Governor Foster.
A WISE sTRoKT.
Itt'k around the Capitol is that there
Isl ,.a strong element Of probability in the
...--. tri- is generally conceded that it
r I'D taa wise political stroke for Presl-
...- Isrr .0n 20 call Mr.. Foster into the
Dr.. It would help Harrison in the
a'-t. g., the delegation. There IS 70
r.t though, that such an appointment
Do. slstasteful 10 both Sherman and
N.tr. ss. but ex-Governor Fosteris strong,
r.Tv wealthy. and at the head Of the Urea
ii GT could WELD an immense political
UaE lr behalf Of Harrison for renOmlna-
r. az course the death of General
S-.,ulr lls postponed action on the Urea
i.-yl -,' DO question, and it is not now
eyed tiat ANYTHING will be done until
a".- tag erals Of both Admiral Porter
-;i p...r.. Sherman.
-ta 'tGar.u would seem 10 give Gov
f~' trr decidedly the best chance,
ora u.l. rr.minent Republicans contend
'' b. appointment has already been

CARLISLE or IRE COINAGE.
S.a'0- Carlisle has some very sensible
a' I'D ,te free-coinage silver question.
.a-. ''a' there is undoubtedly q strong
.4tI Orb the West and South for the
a- i.e system. and even II be were
F g. free coinage he would vote 70
s ile..U because the great majority OF
E. o. F.r demand it. Mr.. Carlisle and
other leading Democrats believe
''le issue VIII be as prominent IN the
r NJ l-s2 as 10 IS to-day, for the
'.l- he farmers demand free com
-.. '.s. the bill cannot be passed be-
', BOSS ul 1922, because Harrison will
., veto The next House can
coinage bill over the Presidents
bot there will not be atwo-tbirds

Carlisle has thought for some
