[I3y Telegraph to the Evening Journal
LONDON, Sept. S.-The Times says re-
garding the death of Whittier: ut may
almost be said that what Scott did for
Scotland, Whittier did for New England.
The most salient features of his verse
were those also observable in his personal
character-sincerity, simplicity, earnest
ness and manliness.
The News says: whittier sang Of a
distinctive New England life as no one
ever sang of il before and sinceit is going
the way of all things, as no one will ever
sing il again"
The Chronicle says: whittier was
the nearest approach to our concep tOin
OF an American Robert Burns that the
new world has given US. The world has
lost one of the sweetest Wrists of its
saddest wrongs"
The Telegraph says; whittier pos
sessed no small portion Of Wordsworth's
genius. Although inferior TO the best
work of Bryant and Poe, it is probable
that his 'Mogg Megone' and Maud
Muller will live as long as 'Thanatopsis
and The Raven.
The Standard suggests that it was good
fortune rather than pre-eminent merit
that secured Whittier an attentive and
sympathetic hearing on this side Of the
Atlantic and adds that in America itself
his claims to distinction will be more
energetically unquestioned than here.

PETER VIII Talk Some To-Day-Tin- Plata
isill to He Taken Up by the House
WASHINGTON, June 12.-The business Of
the Senate during the coming week will de-
pend upon the extent to which the Repub-
hcan Senators, who have flocked in such
large numbers to Minneapolis, will have re-
turned to Washington and have again
taken their seats in the chamber. In any
case, however, some progress may be made
on general appropriation bills, two of
which, the legislative and the agricultural.
were received from the House last Thurs-
day and referred to the committee on ap-
propriatlons. The postofiice appropriation
bill Is pending. and several conference TO.
ports will probably be presented to the
Senate and agreed to durlng the week.
The silver bill will not be taken up for ao-
tion until after things political shall have
got back into their normal condition sub
seaueDt to the Democratic national conven.
ton. Speeches may be expected upon 1t and
on the currency question during almost any
days session. Mr.. Morgan Is ready TO take
the floor upon the silver question whenever
he sees ali opportunity of extracting the
views of certain Senators, and Mr.. Peffer
has given notice of his intention TO address
the Senate tomorrow on his peculiar bill
it's circulation, to reduce the rates of in
teresr and to establish a bureau of loans"
Finally, Mr.. Call proposes, next Wednes-
day to pay his respects to certain railroad
companies, which, he thinks. show too
much interest In the question of who shall
be elected TO the Senate.
In the House the truce which was de-
clared on party measures will expire early
in the week. when the Republicans shall
have returned from their convention and
there is promise of busy week, with the
tariff again the leading issue. At this time
1t is impossible to state the order in whoa
the tariff bills will be taken mp, but the
probabilities are that the tim plate bill will
be the first on the programme If MIR. Shively
returns to Washington from Indiana In
season, AS is expected. The silver lead-ore
bill and the bill to limit the value of CLOTH
ing and the personal effects that may be
brought into the United States by touriets
are also to receive speedy consideration.
A strong disposition is apparent to hasten
the hour of final adjournment. All the
regular annual appropriation bills have
been passed originally by the House ex-
cept the fortifcation bill and the general
deficiency bill. The last named will be re-
ported to the House early in the week and
both will receive speedy trestment

Parisinn Papers Prophecy that Cleveland
Will Defeat the President
PARIS, June 12.-The Paris papers devote
some space to considering the results of the
recent Republican national convention at
Minneapolis. The Steele takes the ground
that the denomination of President Harri-
son means the continuation OF what it
designates as an aggressive protection pol
icy, and expresses the hope that MIR. Cleve-
land will succeed him.
La Patrie Is of the opinion that Mt. Reid's
nomination is owing to his successful ac-
complishment of his diplomatic functions
as United States minister to France.

it has good sound reasons for believing tn It
Mr.. Cleveland Will, If nominated at Chica-
60, succeed in winning the presidentia
race.

in al interview to-day. said "Mr. Reid

warmest regards of everybody who knew
him here. If foreigner may express his
opinion, l will say that l hope Mr.. Reid

WASHINGTON, June 12.-The Post, in it's

with Senator Hale on Mr.. Blaine's resigna-
ton, which is in some respect remarkable.
Mr.. Hale said:
"Mr. Blaine told me the day he left
Washington that he expected Mr.. Harri-
son to be nominated"
mir. Blaine meant what he said In his
letter to Mr.. Clarkson." Mr. Hale contin-
ued. lie did not want to be q candidate,
and was not, but his friends insisted upon
pushing him for the presidency, and
seeing that they would do SO,
whether he was willing OF
unwilling, Mr.. Blaine resigned. | do not

During the further course of his talk Mr..

Senator Hale he bad expressed q
desire of leaving the place some
months prior TO tho time when
he did. Secretary Blaine had conducted to

syfcia to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, ID. c., June IA good,
fat batch of appointments by the Presi-
dent will be in order soon. The most inn
porrant of the collection are, of course. the
selections for the successors to Secretary
Blaine and the late Supreme Justice Brad
ley. All the gossip as to these two appoint
ments is mere guess-work. To the names
already mentioned in connection with the
portfolio of State is added. to-day, that Of
Minister Robert Lincoln. The improbable.
ity that Mr.. Depew would take the place
appears more and more evident to the
Washington public on further considera-
ton, especially since it has been learned
here that he himself told somebody out
West that there was nothing in the rumor.
There is no news about the new Justice.
except that the appointment Is expected
soon now. and the general opinion
is that. if the President doesn't fol-
low custom and give the place
to Pennsylvania or New Jersey, it will
go to Attorney general Miller These States
are now recognized as being worth cuiti-
waiting by him. The new Judge-advocste-
general of the navy will be Capt. s. q.

into the Senate tomorrow. There are four
or five colonies working for the vacant
Coppinger. who is now out of it. of course.
The prize is believed to be between Coils
Carr, Otis, Misner and Shafter. Colonel
Carr, who is Secretary Elkins's choice, will
probably get it. All these officers are high
up on this list of colonels and have excel
lent records. The governorship of the SOL
diers Home is also vacant, and il may be
filed by Colonel OShea. of Indiana For

Col. Elliot L. Shepard. who was with the
Depew party, was naturally happy at the
outcome of the convention, but in CONVEX
sation he did not dwell SO much upon the
victory at Minneapolis as upon the neces-
sity for victory at the polls in order tn at

was much better satisfied with Harrison's
nomination than he would have been at

OMAHA, june 12.-The news of the death
of l.. l.. Polk. president of the Farmers AL
lance. was received with many manifesto
tions of sorrow by the party leaders. 1t
seemed assured that Polk would be either
first or second at the Omaha convention.
By some means it seems to have been gen.
orally understood that the independent
nominees should be selected with view TO
concentrating the West and South, as the
latter section should be accorded the sec
ond place. To-day q new plan developed
which seems to meet with much favor
among the leaders of the new party in this
section. 1t Is purpOsed to nominate United
States Senator William NJ Stewart. of
Nevada, for President, and Thomas T..
Watson, representative in Con gress from
Georgia, for Vice-president 1t is now said
that General Weaver. who has been most
prominently mentioned for the first place,
is strongly inclined to favor this ticket.
