lowed him on board the little steamer

only fifty-four days out from Trapani, a
remarkably quick passage, fourteen days
better than that of the Austrian bark,
Industre, which arrived last week, max
ing the run in sixty eight days, which was
considered excellent time. Her Italian
tonnage, reduced to bushels:is 26, 500, near
ly twice as much as was brought by the
Industre. She will be placed in her berth
tomorrow or Thursday.

COL. BILL MORRISON.
Illinois Presents an Heir to thu
Democratic Throne.
PALMER NOT THE ONLY CHOICE
Morrison's Friends Can Figure Gres
strength-They Claim He IL the Resid
uary Legatee OF the Votes OF Clsvelans
"A Tariff Reform Pioneer.

CHICAGO, May A.-Col. VIM. n. Nor
merce commission and for many years
chairman of the ways and means com.
mittee Of the federal house, has suddenly
forged to the front as . somewhat for.
midable presidential candidate. The new
Democratic state committee met In this
city yesterday and most Of the Illinois
delegates to the national Democrats
convention and politicians from al
quartersof the state, assembled here.
The 4s delegates from Illinois are In.
structed to vote as unit in the national
convention and recommend to favor the
nomination of Senator Palmer In case it
should be deemed expedient to come east
for candidate.
1t now appears certain, however, that
Col. Morrison and not Senator Palmer r.
the choice of decided majority Of the
ballot for Cleveland and a complimentary
one for Palmer, 1t is the intention of that
majority to throw the solid support OF
the AZ votes of Illinois to Morrison. Un-
der the unit rule, imposed by the state
convention, this can easily be done.
Col. Morrison himself was In the city
yesterday and was busy during most OF
the day receiving visitors and holding
conferences with political leaders. To the
press he maintained silence as to his
presidential prospects,, but his friends In
sisted that he would receive the support
of Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Kentucky
and indeed nearly ali the solid South
whenever the Illinois delegation should
present his name to the national conven-
tion.
State Committeeman Brinton, the lead
er Of the Morrison forces, said that Nor
rison was the inevitable heir to the
Cleveland vote, whenever the nomination
of the ex- President should appear inn
practicable. He said Morrison was the
pioneer in the great tariff reform move
ment, had an excellent military record
and had always been right on all great
public questions.

Tho Feeling I'm Providence.

The amount of Blaine sentiment found
in this community is something which
must be gratifying to those who are so
anxious to see the Plumed knight placed
in nomination for the Presidency.
There was always a Blaine feeling in
a candidate either for the nomination or
for an election, the favorite son of Maine
has found Rhode Island backing him for
all IL was worth.
During the recent State campaign the
mere mention of Secretary Blaine's name
was sufficient To arouse the audiences
to the highest pitch of enthusiasm and
the mention of his excellent administra-
ton of the duties OF his Office was greeted
with telling applause.
This is why, upon the streets to-day,
every Republican who was questioned
concerning the candidacy of James q.
Blaine, expressed the sincere hope that
he would be placed in nomination at
Minneapolis aud that his mo" would
not be taken for an answer.
The greatest confidence was expressed
in the ability OF the party TO sweep every
thing before them IL they had Blaine for
n leader, and this was not said with any
disparagement of President Harrison,
whose administration was commended
by all as an able aud faithful one; but
Blaine was asked, hoped and yearned for.
His name seemed to bc rolled sweetfy
over the tongue and to bring satisfaction
TO the mind.
The utmost confidence was expressed ia
the ability Of the party TO elect all their
candidates run here in the fall, and with
such n feeling thus early In the campaign,
what cannot be looked for in the way OF a
great solid Republican majority in
November next.

at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
FORAKER ON THE SITUATION.
Will Mckinley Take Second Place on the
Ticket and Make q Campaign for Re
ciprocity and Protection? - National
Politics Getting Mighty Interesting.
ESPECIAL TO THE NEws.I

NEW YORK, May 24-Secretarv of State
James G. Blaine arrived in this city last
night and is now stopping at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel. 1t was claimed that he
was on purely a private errand, and some
probability was added to this view by the
fact that Gen. Clarkson left last evening
for Washington, crossing the Secretary of
State on the way.
There were numbers of curious specta-
tors assembled at the Pennsylvania de-
pot in Jersey City at 0 o'clock. Some per-
sons were there that had not seen Mr..
Blaine since he passed through this city
on his triumphal return from his Euro
pean tour in 1888 They were anxious to
see whether the gloomy reports OF year
ago relative to his supposed failing health
were fully borne out by fact.
The train was four minutes late. Mr..
Blaine descended with springy step
from the parlor car, and he handed down
Mrs. Blaine, who accompanied him. On
the ferry boat Mr.. Blaine was recognized
by officials and others, who hesitated,
however, to make themselves known to
him.
On reaching this side the party took a
carriage and drove to the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. Many prominent politicians made
il point to be there on the Secretary's
arrival, and the corridor was well nigh
thronged
Immediately on his arrival Mr.. Blaine
courteously received a delegation OF news
paper men. The secretary answered the
few questions put to him in a hearty
manner. Naturally the first inquiry was
as to the nature of his visit. To this Mr..
Blaine made jocular response to the ef-
feet that his visit had nothing to do with
politics.
He added that one of his objects In COM
ing was to consult an eminent oculist, and
then he added, pleasantly, tina he was in
terested in his newborn granddaug hter.
Mr. Blaine further stated that his visit
would extend over three or four days,
and that he would return before Satur-
dav.
On the question of the Presidential
nomination Mr.. Blaine was silent. He
would not discuss the subject in any way.
Among the prominent Republicans In
the corridor during the evening was ex-
Senator Platt. Mr.. Platt insisted that
the Secretary's visit had no bearing what
ever on the political outlook, and that the
personal reasons the Secretary had as
signed for his trip were the motives for
his coming here.

ALMY's CASE AGAIN.
A Serious Question of Constitutionaiity 10
Now to be Raised.

A Serious Question Of Constitutionality 10
Now to be Raised.
CONCORD, N. H., May 24.-The consti-
tutionality of Almy's sentence il again to
be raised when the Supreme courts r,eets
June 8. 1t Ii claimed that the sentence
is not legal, inasmuch as the murderer
was not tried by jury.
So far as statutory provisions were con-
cerned, the proceeding OF the court in
the matter OF trial was legal and proper,
but, singularly enough, the enactment OF
any such law as that quoted Is strictly
inhibited by the constitution of the
state. The two articles, 10 and Is, OF the
latter instrument, which bear upon the
subject, reads as follows:
No subject shall be deprived OF his life, but
by judgment of his peers or the law OF the
land. No subject shall be liable to be tried
after an acqnittal for the same crime or Of
fence; nor shall the Legislature make any law
that shall subject any person to capital pun
ishment excepting for the government OF the
army and navy and the militia in actual SER
vice. without trial by jury.
The situation created by the raising OF
the question described, while being one
in which great public and professional
interest will centre, will, nevertheless, be
one of most embarrassing conditions.
The issue will be directly as to whether
Aimy shall be given his liberty or wheth-
er he shall be subjected to another trial,
and this will depend upon the interpre-
tation given to another provision Of the
original law. TIE constitution says:
"Nor shall any person be subject for the
same offence to be twice put in jeopardy
of life or limb" That Almy has already
had one trial is fact scarcely to be con-
troverted, and that another would twice
place him In jeopardy Of life would seem
to be equally clear. In the opinion of
many lawyers the sentence is not legal.

WHAT ANDERSON SAYS.


From report made to the police by one
of the non-striking plumbers it would
seem as though the strikers were not pre-
serving the quiet orderly spirit which
characterized the early days of the strike.
John f. Anderson, living at 93 Atwel's
avenue, employed by McCauley Bros, in
the new house at the corner of Public and
Taylor streets, complained to Capt. Cos
tine of Station 5, that some of the striking
plumbers tried to make him stop work
recently.
He stated that on his refusal to comply
with their demands one of the men pro-
duced revolver, and threatened to shoot
him If he did not accede to their request,
and leave off work. Anderson did not
stop, and the men went away. The police
have the ma tier in charge.

PREsBYTERIAN CHANGES.
Committee on Revision OF Confession Re

Committee on Revision OF Confession Re-
ports to the Convention.
PORTLAND, Oregon, May 24.-At the
Presbyterian convention the committee
on bills and overtures reported that 10 IL
not considered wise in view Of the pres
snt agitation in the church to proceed
Immediately with the preparation Of the
shorted creed. This shelves the matter
for another year.
The fiscal report of the committee on
revision of the confession of faith was
presented. None of the changes proposed
impair the integrity OF the Calvinistic
system OF the confession. The action
proposed by the committee consists of 28
overtures, each one covering a change
proposed to the confession. The report
says: at was found impossible to meet
the individual preference of every Pres
bytery without setting aside what were
known to be the views of the large ma
jority Of the church. There was an effort
made to see harmony at any sacrifice"
The report is the very best that the
committee has been able TO prepare after
weeks of labor. The division into Is Sec
tions will enable the church to approve
a single alteration without endangering
the whole revision.

IL members Of the committee and with
exceptions by IL members. OF the 2S
changes in the confession OF faith, 13 are

covenant, the new chapter on the Holy
Spirit, Mans fall, the new chapter on the
Gospel, predestination, effectual call, in

viii IL be Blaine and Mckinley

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 24-Politi-
clans of both parties think that Mr.. Blaine
while in New York will. il he has not al-
ready done so, communicate his final de-
cision respecting the nomination to be
made at Minneapolis to those most anx-
ious to know it, and upon whose course it
will have so important an effect.
The talk Of Mckinley for second place
is spreading. The argument Is that with
Mr.. Blaine at the head of the ticket repre-
senting reciprocity and Mckinley at the
tail representing protection the party
would be united and every vote polled.

Cunningham Held for Murder.

BOSTON, May N.-Wm. e. Cunningham
the alleged murderer Of Lizzie Williams
at Cambridge, was given brief hearing
in the Cambridge district court yester-
day. The only witnesses examined were
Mrs. Emma Sullivan, in whose house the
deed was committed, and Medical Exam
iner Swan. 1t did not take much evil
dence from them to lead Judge Almy To
find "probable cause" and the accused
was accordingly bound over to the grand
Jury without bail. Cunningham looked
in good health and gave no evidenee Of
his recent close call to death.
