President Harrison Not in IA Hurry to Fill
WINDOWS Shoes.

WASHINGTON, February l.-Specu-
lation aS to who will be Secretary OF the
Treasury is still strong here. and new
names are being added TO the list OF
availables hourly. The Presidents
message to Congress suggesting an cX-
tension Of the time within which he can
make his selection is puzzlng good
many people, whethar it means that he
desires To bring home some who is now
in the Diplomatic service abroad
or wishes to take some one who Is
now in Congress, and whom he thinks
it inexpedient to remove from that
sphere until the end of the session.
There is difference OF opinion. II is
known that John c. New, OF Indiana,
now Consul General TO London, was
very anxious to be Secretary OF the
Treasury when Harrison came in, and
many people are saying that 1t is now
HarriSon's desire to give the place TO
New; but New is making about $4,000
a year in London, and it is not believed
he will give his present job up for one
that would pay very much less, al
though much more important and in
fluential one.
Others believe that Harrison wants
to make Mai. Mckinley Windows sue
cessor to get him out of the field as a
Presidential candidate in 1892, but hes
itates to take him out Of the House Of
Representatives before the close Of the
session.
Those who are close to Mckinley de-
clare he would not accept cabinet
place il IL were offered 10 him. An
other man now in Congress whom the
quid nuncs insist Harrison IS very apt
to appoint is Senator Spooner. Mr..
Stephen Il. ElkinS' name is also fire.
quently heard, and some Of the West
Virginians in town seem to believe he
is not at all an improbable man for the
place.
1t is claimed that Harrison has a very
high opinion Of Mr.. Elkins and kindly
regard, and that the fact that Elkins is
an ardent admirer Of Mr.. Blaine's will
not stand in his way.
Ohio people who are not specially
friendly to Mckinley give eX-Goyernor
Foster rs Il straight tip. The only
Eastern men mentioned are Senator
Aldrich and Cornelius y. Bliss, OF New
York.

A Big SNOWFALL Battle-special Acts OF

NORTHAMPTON, MASS, February l.
Smith College girls have just had no
vel experience. 1t was SNOWFALL bat
tie between the "Sops" and "treshies,
and the former won after spirited
fight. The s0phS were led by Captain
Wilcox and the freShies by Captain
Gain. The young ladies were dressed
in their gym" suits, and were prepar-
ed for regular trough and tumble
racket" The signal for the commence
ment OF hostilitieS was given by the
gymnasium instructor, Miss Adams,
aud the fun began. Captain WilcoX's
shot hit daring freshman in the front
rank directly in the right ear. \ cheer
went up from the fort and the old gold
banner was waved aioft.
But one shot does not win battle.
The freshmen had marched upon the
campus with a determination 10 win the
fort, and the flag, If they could in the
half hour allotted TO the battle. The
most reckless sailed up to the very
walls. Here they met perfect volley
of grapeshOt, from which all but one
tall, handsome brunette llnched. A
bold SOrtie had been made, and SOpho-
moreS were mauling the daring besieg-
ers. But for moment only. The fresh
men rushed back like drove Of prairie
ponies, wildly cheering. Then began a
hand To hand encounter.
''Why, those horrid things actually
threw me down and walked on Inc, "
said one Of the sophomore lieutenantS,
Indignantly. The cascade Of hail came
tumbling down. and one WARRIORS eye
had a dismal hue, The Chicago and
Pennsylvania recruits distinguished
themselves by special acts OF bravery.
When the bugle blew at the end, the
sophomoreS held the fort with their
golden banner still floating.

CAUSED BY BACCARAT.
A Threatened Slander Suit Agitates En-
glish Society.

LONDON, February 1.-The West End
is much interested IN a threatened suit
| for slander, involving persons very well
known at the Turf Club and on the turf.
The matter arises out of an incident
which occurred at the time of the last
Doncaster meeting. Mrs. Arthur VIII
son, of Grosvenor square, the wife Of
the wellknown millionaire. had offered
eer house near Doncaster TO the Prince
OF Wales for race week, His Royal
| Highness, OF conrse, inviting the party
who were To occupy II. Among the
guests was Sir William Gordon Cum
ming, whose engagement To the second
daughter OF the late William Gardner,
OF New York, has recently been an
nOunced, and who is 4 particular friend
OF the Prince and of Lord Randolph
Churchill.
The company at Mrs. Wilson's amused
themselves in the evening after the
races with baccarat. Some question
arising as TO whether certain bets had
or had not been made. one gentleman
present got the impression that Sir
Gordon Cummings bets were not made
as plainly as they should have been.
The Prince, who is very sensitive on
all such subjects, insisted that this
should be inquired into. An inyestiga-
tion was accordingly made, and Lord
Coventry and Owen Williams are said
to have decided that the circumstances
were so unsatisfactory that the best
and kindest thing that could be done
would be to drop the whole business
into oblivion on Sir William Gordon
Cumming promising the Prince that he |
would have nothing more to do with |
playing cards.
Mrs. Wilson's party broke up earlier
than was expected, the Prince Of Wales
going over to spend the end OF the week
with his son, Prince Edward, at York.
This gave rise to much tittie-tattle, and
sundry ladies chose to attribute the
faSco OF Mrs. Wilson's party to some
personal dissatisfaction on the part of
His Royal Hghness with the presence
there Of one or another particular lady.
This by degrees has led to all manner
OF imputations and charges in connec
tion with baccarat and Mrs. Wilson's
party and the Turf Club. and II is now
that Sir Gordon Cumming Is
determined to bring the whole business
before the law courts In the form Of
suit for SANDER, as IT is now stated that
he intends 10 present as defendants his
friends, owen Williams and Lord Cow

New YORK, February Miss Helen

Conflict Between White and BIncI, Miners.

BusM1NGuAM. ALA, February l.
Four negroes were shot dead and five
Others severely wounded, three OF them
perhaps fatally at Carbon Hill mines, in
Walker county, five miles west OF this
city. Friday night. The only offense OF
the dead and wounded negroes so far as
is known that they took the places OF
the white miners during the strike, and
when the strike was settled the com
pany would not discharge them. The
nine negroes were surrounded while
asleep i'm their cabin, and shot down be-
fore they had an opportunity to escape
or offer resistance. White miners
are suspected Of the crime, but there
seems to be no evidence against any
one. as at last accounts no arrests had
been made. The wounded negroes say
the men who shot them down were
white. but they were unable to identity
them. Is is believed another bloody
conflict between white and colored
miners will take place. Repeating rifles
and cartridges in large numbers have
been ordered by both sides. 1t Is re-
ported that the officers OF the company
operating the mines, have announced
that they will protect all colored miners
in their employ.
