WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-There are

may have changed his mind about post
poning the appointment Of q secretary
Of war until after congress meets. Mr..
Proctor has announced privately that
he will be in Washington this week or
the first of next to induct his successor
into Office. It is expected that when
the president returns from his duck
shooting he win be ready to announce
TO the cabinet at their meeting on Fri
.say the name Of Mr.. Proctor's successor.
sIt is still believed by folks close to the

can national committee are pressing

LONDON, Nov. 1S.-The finances of

direction of slashing economy has not
aroused much stir in the London mar
ket. although everybody approves the
boldness of the queen regent in stopping
the addition to the navy when mari
time power il laying on taxation. right
and left, or issuing loans to build new
ironclads. A dispatch from Madrid
says that the new policy was deter
mined upon only because the queen
regent resolved that IL should be. The
ministers earnestly objected, but the
queen insisted, and Spain will have to
be content with the respectable, but
not formidable feet which it now pos
sesses. The queen 10 also. it is said,
urging another economy and that is the
stoppags of the pensions Of ex-ministers
after certain period. Scores of former
members of the cabinet are drawing
these pensions In Spain, although some
OF them served only q few days and
then resigned. Queen Christiana wants
these pensions abolished. Quite stir
was created in Madrid on Monday by
the circulation Of an anonymous paper
urging that the property Of the church
be confscated as the best way of get
ting the state out OF its financial diff
culties. Notwithstanding plunder by
the French In the early part of the cen
tury the church in Spain il still very
rich and has an immense endowment OF
valuable estates. OF course Queen
Christiana, who is q devout Catholic,
could not entertain such proposition.

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, Nov. 1s.--
The figures in reference to the blockade
to navigation in Lake George fats last
month have Just been completed. They
are OF interest to the entire country.
The accident. which was caused by the
schooner George w. Adams sinking the
steam barge Susan Z. Peck, occurred at
l:10 p. m. Saturday, Oct. 10. The Peck
was sunk In thirty feet Of water across
the channel. there being only q channel
of eight feet ahead Of her stem and six
feet ahead OF her stern. The following
morning three dredges were put to work
which were supplemented by another
the next day. The four dredges dug a
channel seventy feet wide at the bow OF
the wreck and extended mp and down
the stream about 900 feet in each direc-
don. The material moved is estimated
u about $4,000 cubic yards. The acci-
dent occurred at 1:10 p. m, Oct. 10, and
Was not cleared until noon, Oct. al,
when the last vessel was taken through
the new channel. The total number oi
vessels delayed was 275, the total delays
pmount to 827 days, . hours and II
sninntes. The value of tonnage delayed
- ga, ,2e4, 900. The estimated loss tc
the vessel interests il $146,238. The
delay, while being most disastrous ia
nayigation, win have the effect oi
placing before congress the Importance

Cheyenne River agency came straight
to this agency and reported. In my
opinion they mean no mischief. They
express discomfort with the treatment
at their agency. I have counselled
their return and that they shall make
application there for transfer IL they
have reasonable grounds for such appli-
cation. believe they have
no wish to make trouble. Dis
contented with the management
at their own agency, manifested by all
visitors from Cheyenne river, inclincs
mo to the belief that there IL some
ground for complaint. The matter win
be looked into without delay Mr.. Bell
has recommended to the secretary of the
interior that the inspector now at
Cheyenne river agency, be instructed to
give the complaints and causes Of dis
content Of Bear Eagle and his followers
careful investigation and consideration
and 10 submit a full report on the sub
ject. The secretary has approved the
recommendation. The acting commits

The Baltimore Sum Gives Utterance to Its
Views ON the Question.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 1S.-The Baltimore
Sun in an editorial article on Democracy
In the Northwest, refers as follows to
the point that has been made that the
Democratic candidate for president
should be a man who, If elected, can
succeed himself, Should Cleveland
and Boies be nominated and clected in
1892, Boies with some Eastern or South
ern man, perhaps a Maryland man, in
the second place, would naturally lead
the Democracy in 1896. Thus would be
secured the continuance of leadership.
some Of our New York contemporaries
profess to be necessary. Mr.. Cleveland
would not, perhaps, be available for =
third term, but his election next year
would help the election Of his successor.
The principle OF continuity of leadership
Is fine thing, but when you have q
leader like Mr.. Cleveland, who leads
and wins votes for his party, this very
principle requires that you shall retain
him in command till the battle he has
planned shall have been fought and
won -

that neither Cleveland nor Harrison can

would be folly for the parties to nomi-

question, said he, Cleveland would be
supported by the Alliance, but there
win be other issues on which his posi-
tion is Objectionable. Campbell would
