STATE POLITICAL POINTERS.
Henry Hall Said to Be the Republican
Choice for Auditor General

Henry Hall Said to Be the Republican
Choice for Auditor General
Philadelphia North Americana
A prominent Republican politician from up
the State who was in the city yesterday, said
that there was very strong feeling through
the Eastern counties in favor of the nomina-
tion of ex-Representative Harry Hall, of Msr-
Ger, as the party candidate for Auditor General.
The presence of Mr.. Hall in Philadelphia yes
terday strengthened the belief that there is o
movement of such a character, and that 1t is
likely to assume large proportions before the
time of holding the fall conventions The ex-
Representative stated. however. that his visit
was purely social one and had no political
significance. He came to town Oh Saturday
and expects to go to Harrisburg to-day. One
of the local Republican leadert who knows
thing or two about political matters, said that
the nomination of Hall would be a stroke of
wisdom on the part of the Republican party.
He is popular in his own county. and was only
defeated for Representative by a few votes, and
then by a combination which, it is alleged, was
inspired by the old Soldiers Orphans syndi-
cate.
The fact that the conventions are several
months off makes all talk on the subject more
or less speculative. The name of George
Pearson, who was Governor Beavers private
secretary, has been mentioned in connection
with the Auditor GeneIalship, but it is per-
fectly safe to say that up to the present time
Hall is leading in the contest. Mr.. Hall is at
present the Harrisburg correspondent of THE
PIyTsBURG DISPATCH.
The candidates for State Treasurer are more
numerous than those for Auditor General.
John W. Morrison, Of Allegheny, at present
Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives is
the most prominent. He has been looked upon

The death of P. 7. Barnum removes a

For years his name has been household

to the amusementloving public he will un-
doubtedly stand long unsurpassed. To him
more than to any other man is due the
splendor and completeness of the modern
circus. Blessed with an extraordinarily
large stock of original ideas and tireless
energy, he revolutioniEed the business and
made it what it is to-day. Some of his

Likely to Succeed.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
CLEVELAND. April 7.-Present indications
are that the movement begun by the Cleveland
vessel owners to keep all boats in port until
May 15 will succeed. The committee of vessel
owners that had the management of the work
of securing signatures Las reported that over
30 per cent Of the tonnage of this port has ell
tered the agreement and more than 80 per cent
of that of Buffalo, Detroit and the minor lake
ports. At Milwaukee the canvas Is still pro-
crossing with chances good for securing 90 per
cent of the tonnage there. Chicago is the only
point where less than four-ffths of the ton
mage is represented in the compact.
This does not include the railway line boats
running out of Buffalo, which depend on the
railroad lines for most Of their business and will
not greatly affect the ore and grain business.
which are most seriously depressed now. Only
three OF the important ore companies of this
port owning vessels have refused to sign the
agreement, but they all run to Lake Superior
points, and, as the 800" Canal is never open
before May !. and often not until the 10th,
their refusal is likely not to disturb the other
owners, who are working to postpone the open
ing OF navigation.> If the vessel men succeed
in keeping navigation practically closed until
May 10 they will reduce the effect of the con-
dition of the iron ore market and the weak out
look for grain tonnage upon lake freight rates
to minimum and make the most possible out
OF very hard and discouraging conditions.

jealous he made his great mistake. There
may be occasional cases on which
the police can work better without the aid
of the newspapers, but experience has shown
them to be very few. A reputable news
paper has yet to be charged with interfering
in the legitimate work OF the police with the
intention of aiding criminal to escape.
There are numerous cases in almost every
city in which, had it not been for aid given
by the press, Justice would have been
cheated. This is acknowledged by all in
telligent police officials, and the assistance
of the newspapers properly appreciated.

Two Americans Prominent In the Copyright
Movement to Be Decorated.

Two Americans from1nent In the Copyright
Movement to Be Decorated.
NEW YORK, April L-Count Emile de
Keratry, the special envoy of the French Coy
ernment. who is instructed to convey crosses Of
the Legion of Honor to two distinguished
Americans who have been prominent in the
fight for the copyright law, arrived here Sun
day from France by the steamship La Gas
cogne, and is now confined to his bed suffering
from the grip at the Hotel Martin, this city.
The crosses and other similar decorations are
usually bestowed through the Consuls OF the
countries comforting the honors, but IN this in
stance the French Government, after the pass
age of the copyright bill, desired to pay an un-
usual compliment to the American Copyright
League IN order to celebrate the victory, it may
be said. Robert Underwood Johnson, of the
Centuy Magazine, Secretary of the Authors
Copyright League and Of the Joint Executive
Copyright Committee, which represented all
the leagues which advocated the copyright
measure, and ex-Representative William E
Simonds were the gentlemen selected for the
honor.
1t was originally the intention of the French
Government to include Senator OrvilIe H.
Platt, of Connecticut in the list of gentlemen
upon whom crosses were to be bestowed, but it
is understood that the French Government was
informed that the laws of the United States
debarred Senator from receiving such q deco

criticised the indifference of the people in

he said, showed the rapidIty with which
trouble might come.

the cost of adequate defenses for the coast

tax would be made necessary by the appropria-
tion of this amount, and the investment would
prove wise in all respects.
