Messrs. Ingalls and Morrow Both Said 10 He
After the Vacancy
The cabied news Of the death Of Minister
Swift at Toxic has started all sorts Of stories Is
to his successor. The sudden increase Of avail
able republican material, owing TO the ad-
journment Of Congress and the termination Of
quite q number Of official existences. has en-
barrassed the President not q little in that he
has such q large number Of leading lights to
select from who feel that they are entitled to
recognition at this time. Senator Blair was
the first to get plum and he is understood to
be making his arrangements TO go to China
He was at the Navy Department this morning
and the story went that he was asking whether
there were not q vessel Of the navy going TO
make a trip to China before long on which
he might sail as passenger. Nothing definite
is settled in regard to this, however. Among
the latest rumors is one that ex-senator ingalls,
is booked for the Japanese mission and another
Is that ex-Representative Morrow of California
has laid his pipes on the same line. The Presi-
dent. however, keeps on banging away at ducks
while these rumors are floating and is probably
making some combinations for the vacancies
between shots. He will return on Saturday.

A Dwarf Who Was Noted for His Good
Qualities and Brittle Bones.
Mr.. J. T. Hall, a clerk in the stationery divis-
ion Of the Treasury Department, died yester-
day afternoon at the age Of fifty-one years.
He was one of the most familiar figures around
the department, having been employed there
twenty-eight years. At the time of his
death he was second-class clerk.
He was dwarf and his bones were
Of such peculiar composition that they broke
on the slightest provocation. 1t is stated that
he has sustained twenty-seven different frac-
lures during his life. Six weeks ago he broke
his leg, which rapidly knit together, but his
stomach failed him and this was the
cause Of his death. When he was
lad of fourteen he had severe
fever, which stopped his growth, and he has
consequently remained about three feet in
height ever since. His head was fully devel-
oped: He was quiet and very witty, having
a bright, pleasant word for his acquaintance
at all times. He was native of Ohio and left
no family. His funeral will take place Sat
urday.
