GEN. JOHN C. NEW
Very Generally Mentioned tor Hccte
tasy OF the Treasury.

New YORK, Feb. S.--A gentleman of
more than local prominence who has long
been identified with public affairs and is
thoroughly informed regarding the inside
workings of the present administration. has
Just returned from Washington. He said
today "At > o'clock Thursday afternoon
President Hsrrigon cablcd to general John
c. New. consul general to London, to come
TO Washington at once. 1t will ir re.
mcmbered that when President Harrison
was making up his cabinet Gen. New was
very anxious to be appointed secretary of
the treasury. He had been treasurer and
assistant secretary Of the treasury and
bis ambition impelled him to seek
the secretaryship. His friends urged
upon him that he could not then
afford to sacrifice the consul geoersl.
ship for the position of secretary Of the
treasury. The consul generalship would
eettsinly yield him S25, 600 annually. and
beside would give many legitimate oppor-
tunities OF adding to it. Indiana had fall
en- into very bad form politically, aud the
Pretident and his friends were much dis
gusted. The prominent candidates for the
tre a'ury portfolio are as follows: Ex.Gov.
Foster Of Ohio, William II. Mckinley Of
Ohio and Cornelius N. Bliss Of New York.
Unless General New should decide that the
handsome income from the consul general.
ship with freedom from care is better than
the secretaryship with its perpIexitiee.
leaving out the impulses Of ambition, he
will probably be the next secretary Of the
treasury. This is settled 10 the opinion Of
those best informed as to the president 9
purposes.
Outside Of personal relations existing
between the President and Mr. New. the
la.ter's ownership Of the Indiana polls Jour
nal and influence it can WELD in political

knorledsed candidate is 4 feature entering
into the Presidents choice of important
cabinet officers. In case the policy Of the
administration on the Behring sea and fish

whole question thoroughly from the inter
national standpoint and as he 10 man Of
great discretion and caution besides thor.
oush'y American, his views will be Of the
grea.est importance to Harrison who fully
realizes this. This fact alone msk.s Gen.
New the strongest possible candidate for

A "HAUNTED HOUSE "
A Story OF Romance Not OF Ghosts
Revealed

BosroN, Feb. S.-A romantic story was
revealed last week in contest over the
$500, 600 estate of the late Samuel Welch,
who lived in so many places that the pro-
bate judge doesn't know where to locate
his legal residence. For years fine
looking brick house on Elm street, Somer-
vile, has remained uutenanted, its win
dows and doors heavily barred aVainst en-
trance by any one excep: the possessor of
the key. All sorts of ghost stories have
been copjured up about this house. and
everybody who lived in the neighborhood
was convinced that the house was haunted.
IL bad that reputation, any way, ard timid
wcmen and children always went q block
cut Of their way to avoid pas sing it at night.
The ghost stories vanished In the light of
today s revelations. That house was built by
Mr.. Welch years ago with the proceeds OF a
lottery prize which he had drawn. He was
engaged to be married to an estimable young
woman, and the wedding day had been
appointed. When the intended bride heard
that the foundation Of his wealth hsd been
laid through lottery investment she re-
fused 10 marry him. Mr.. Welch immediate
ly barred up the house which had jus. been
completed. aud never would give bis con-
sent to its being occupied. He then led a
rowing life in Massachusetts and New
Hampshire, where he passed the greater
part Of his time. Mayor Pope of Somer.
vile was today appointed administrator OF
the estate, which he will distribute among a
large number of heirs.
