WASHINGTON, ID. c., March e5.-Ac-
cordlng 10 q gentleman who Is very
close to the President, and who had
long talk with him In the last few days,
Mr.. Harrison Is grieved At the lack OF
appreciation OF his services shown oy
the Republican party. He thinks
his administration has been. such
a big success that the party
should be as one man In favoring his re-
nomination. Instead OF that there Is
strong opposition to him In the party,
whereat the President Is astonished and
panied. So deep is his feeling on the
subject that he informed his friends he
was In serious doubt whether the prop
er and dignifed course for him TO pur-
sue was not 10 withdraw his name from
the list OF candidates and let the party
look elsewhere for standard-bearer
In the coming campaign.
Mr.. Harrison is represented rs saving
that be was seriously debating this
question with himself and was inclined
TO withdraw altogether, he felt that he
could not accept the nomination unless
IL came to him without opposition.
Even in this case, he hardly thought he
could accept unless the prospect Of sue
cess at the polls was good.

TIE CHICAGO BoODLERs.
More Indictments Likely to Be Found.
Interesting Testimony.


Chicago. March S5.-With all pros
meets of additional Doodle indictments
TODAY, according TO States Attorney
Longenecker, the grand jury attack d
long list Of witnesses. One OF them,
c. =. DorSe. real estate dealer, gave
I'D some interesting testimony.
He was in control of much property
that would be benefited by an extension
OF the Milwaukee avenue street car line.
While an ordinance for the extension
was pending Alderman Bowler told him
there was no use fooling about this
thing. Ten thousand dollars would
have to be raised to pass the ordinance.
Bowler wanted nothing for himself, but
said the "boys" had to have a little.
Dorse swere he turned his back on Bow
Ter, and had no knowledge of any bribe
money being paid aldermen. The ordi-
nance was passed, however.
After hearing the testimony OF a
dozen witnesses, the jury spent consid-
erable time in considering the adyisa-
bility of indicting Aldermen Rowler
and MichaelSon, of the Fourteenth
ward, and one other member OF the
council.
1t was finally decided to indict the
first named two for attempted bribery,
but the prolonged and loud discussion
which followed this determination pre-
vented the indictments from being
drawn. 1t was finally settled by allow
ing the indictments to lay over until to-
morrow, when the matter will be recon-
sidered.
The jury will tomorrow also investi-
gate the manner in which the Calumet
electric and the Springdale ordinances
were passed.

Slastic friends. The advocates Of the
measure have constantly claimed from
thirty 10 forty majority on the passage
OF the bill and the opponents OF the
bill have generally conceded a majority
OF from twenty to thirty.
The conclusion is irresistible, there
fore, that a secret change of sentiment
or of policy has taken place within the
past few days in certain quarters, re-
Suting, doubtless, from letters and pc
titionS. The filibustering tactics OF the
opposition last night showed conclusive
ly that the anti-free coinage men can
protract interminably their dilatOry mo.
tiOnS against the bill and that hnal
vote can only be secured by the Com
mittee on Rules bringing in an order
naming in advance day and hour on
which the previous question shall De
considered as ordered.
Mr. Bland will at once call upon the
Committee on Rules, by resolution or
otherwise. to report an order setting
apart day or number OF days next
week for the further consideration OF
the silver DILL, and naming an hour
when "the question shall be put on the
final passage OF the bill. and no inter
veuing motions shall be entertained un-
iii such vote is taken"

Work Against the Free Coinage BILL
WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 25.-Rep-
reseLtatiye Harter, Of Ohio, who has oc-
cupied a prominent place among the op-
ponentS of the free silver coinage bill,
to-day commented in the following
terms upon the agencies through which
they prevented the passage OF the Dill
last night by the House:
The minority in the Democratic
party Of tue House, and il proved a large
section Of the party; the sound money Re
publicans in the House-and II would be
gross injustice not 10 say they were led by
ex-SpealIer Reed, Mr.. Burrows and others,
who proved that they were patriots hrst
and Republicans last; the quiet sympathy
for honest money which large numb r OF
the strong and able Democrats Of the South
and West showed; the correspondents oil
the great newspapers living here were
almost 10 a man with US in this fight.
The entire German press was hrst 10
last, IN deadly, most aggressive, aud most
intelligent opposition 10 the great steal.
The Grand Army enlisted again and its IN
huence extended everywhere.
The feeling OF the House is that the
Committee on Rules will see that il will oe
wise to let the matter drop, rs the enemies
of free silver are not disposed 10 chafe
their free silver friends, ana 1t is almost
universally conceded the bill is dead and
that an effort TO resurrect it would bring a
storm OF disapproOation from the country

CONCERNING tho yIrrinia Debt.

LONDON, March 25.-The Right Hon. Sir
John Lubber, presiding at the meeting OF
the council OF foreign bondholders, to-day,
cordially acknowled the justice and Impair
tiality OF the Supreme Court OF the United
States. They had long protracted strug-
gle with the State Of Virginia, and but for
the Supreme Court the British creditors
would nave been In much worse position
than they are now.
Some months ago an influential Ameri.
can committee took up the matter ana
asked the council 10 cooperate with them,
which the Court gladly did. The council
had done its best, and the Virginia credit
ors were indebted 10 them. Had Virginia
better consulted her own interests she
she would have made more just and more
liberal settlement with her creditors.

NEW York, March 25.-The World has a

10000 PEOPLE READ THE REGISTER EVERY SUNDAY MO

Berlng Sea by either nation will be In
tended simply for service in connection
with the sealing controversy and not
with the idea Of engaging in any gen.
eral conflict there. At present there
are seven or eight British war ships on
the Pacific station, three OF which are
large cruisers. The latter would prob
ably not be sent TO Bering Sea in any
case, but would be retained in British
Columbian waters, and IL is altogether
likely that our heavy cruisers now on
the Pacific coast will be held at San
Francisco to await developments.
The principal indication OF active
preparation at the Navy Department
was in connection with the matter OF
coal supplies for the Bering Sea fleet.
Navy officials have been in consultation
during the last two or three days with
a representative Of the North American
Commercial Company, and received as
surances OF the ability of the company
to furnish at Dutch Harbor ample sup
plies OF coal for as large fleet as the
government could possibly send north
ward at satisfactorily low rates.
1t was reported on good authority
last night that the President was given
by the Russian Minister assurances that
the Russian government will cooperate
with this government in the matter oil
protecting seal life in the Bering Sea.
The Russian Minister is credited with
the assertion that his government would
add four men of war to the fleet OF six
iron clads now at Vladivostock. These
Senators, who favor the position the
President has assumed in the corre-
spondeDce with Lord Salisbury, found
much to stiffen their backbone when
they learned that there was a strong
probability that Russia would be found
on the side of the United States In the
event OF hostilities growing out OF the
question of protecting the few seals re-
naming In the Bering Sea.

STILL UNDER DISCUSSION.
The Senate Spends Nearly Three Hours on
the Bering Sea Arbitration Treaty.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 25.-The
Senate to-day spent two and hall
hours In the further consideration oil
the Bering Sea arbitration treaty. AS
result, the discussion has nearly reached
a conclusion, and vote is expected to
be taken on the motion to ratify the
treaty some time next week. The dis
cussion has established strong prooa-
bility that the treaty will be ratified.
The most formidable opposition to the
ratification Of the treaty is made uD OF
the Senators who believe that IL should
be accompanied by resolution direct
ing the President TO withhold the ex-
change Of final ratification until Great
Britain consents to renew the modus
vivendi.
Notwithstanding all the discussion
had to-day, the treaty remains techni-
cally unchanged in the position and the
advancement that is to be recorded, IS
in the approach made toward conclu-
sion OF the debate.
The efforts to maintain secrecy con-
tinue, and there has been talk In exeeu-
tive session OF another investigation

NAVAL PREPARATIONS.
The Position Russia viii Likely Take in
the Bering sea Controversy.


WAsHISGToY, March 25.-There was
a lull in the excitement at the Navy De-
partment to-day, but the officials man
ifested a feeling OF uncertainty and
anxiety, pending definite developments
in the diplomatic negotiations concern
ing the Bering Sea matter.
The department authorities hardly
know how far to go in the line OF extra
ordinary preparations until the inter-
national spondence bears more
conclusive aspect, and they are i'm
pstiently waiting FOR this to come.
Meanwhile, although the naval officials
concede that our relations with Great
Britain are decidedly strained, few of
them in reality expect active hostilities
TO arise. 1t is also pointed out by naval
experts that il will hardly be the policy
of the department to concentrate a
heavy force of vessels in Bering Sea, for
even il hostilities should be precipitated
by an exchange OF shots in those waters
the war would not be fought there, but
nearer home.

Business indications are not quite so

ries is rather improved.
The iron trade shows better tone in
spite of very low prices. Larger sales OF
pig iron are reported since the recent de-
cline, and there is less pressure to SELL
Structural iron is fairly active. with better
prospects; bar iron is more active and there
Is improved demand for plates. The
stronger market for copper here and abroad

been formed. Tin is stronger and lead
