JOHN 3 M'LEAN CALLED A LIAR
Don Dickinson Goes That Far to Deny the
Fuller Boom Story.

Fuller Boom Story
WASHINGTON, May Al Special. THE
story that some of Clevelands warmest
friends, including Judge Goudy, of Chicago,
Senator Villas, of Wisconsin, and Don NJ.
Dickinson, of Detroit, were arranging to
have the mantle of Cleveland fall upon
Chief Justice Fuller, brought out crop OF
denials and affirmations to-day. Repre-
sentative Forman says he has talked the
whole situation over with Judge Goudy,
and knows the latter is a sturdy and un-
compromising Cleveland man. Don NJ
Dickinson has teiegraphed that the story is
false SO far as he is concerned. He adds
that John r. Mclean, who was credited
with being the author of the story, lies in
what he SAYS concerning Mr.. Dickinson.
On the other hand, Mr.. McLean's friends
are not "hedging" on their original story,
and they say there is much more to it than
has yet been told. Representative War
wick, the Democratic successor to McKin-
ley, and close intimate of McLean's, said
to-day that he knew for a fact that the
availability of Chief Justice Fuller was be-

MORGAN Is CONFIDENT
That He Will Secure the Nomination at

YOUNGSTOWN, O., May 4-[SpeciaL J.
Thomas r. Morgan, of Alliance, who as
pires to the seat in Congress held for many
years by Governor Mckinley, made hur-
ried visit to this city to-day, with the in
tention of breaking into the Mahoning
county delegation and securing some of the
10 votes pledged to Judge King. Securing
a carriage he drove to the residence of Judge
Johnson and was closeted at the home of the
iurist for some time. The prevalent
opinion is that Morgan hoped to have Judge
johnson throw his delegates in favor OF the
candidate of Stark. Mr.. Morgan said:
While am not boasting much, l am con-
fident of securing the nomination. As to
how many delegates will get in the con-
vention do not care to say. but 1 will get
there, although there is any amount of
political trickery going on that I cannot
practice. Personally, 1 am warm friend of
Governor McKinley's, and that will not
hurt me.
Judge johnson, when seen, said that Mr..
Morgan had made him friendly visit, but
no proposition was presented as to his dele
gates 81 said to Mr.. Morgan during the
conversation, said he, "that was in this
fight for myself, and intended to get all the
delegates possible, as wanted the nomi-
nation. He did not ask, and I made no
promise.

CLEVELAND HIS OWN MANAGER.

Tho Ex.President Leeking After His Own
Canvass Just Now.
PHILADELPHIA, May &--seoretary Of
the Commonwealth William 3. Harrity,
Attorney General Hensel and ex-United
States District Attorney John r. Read
spent Sunday at Lakewood with ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland, whose candidacy for the
Democratic nomination they all favor.
They tried to keep the visit a secret, but 1t
leaked out One thing that the visit hos
established is that ex- President Cleveland Is
still in the field for the Democratic nomina-
tion.
When the story was sent out from WASH
ington in Yesterdays papers to the effect
that Mr. Cleveland intended to withdraw In
favor of Chief Justice Melville W. Fuller
it was thought that the Pennsylvanians
might have gone to see the ex-President
about that alleged deal. That story, how
ever was emphatically denied by Secretary
Harrity, who was represented as being in
the Fuller deal When asked last night if
it was true that he had Joined in that move
ment he said: 'It is not true. So far as I
know there is absolutely no foundation for
that story"
Mr.. Harrity was taken very much by sur
prise when asked as to the significance of
the visit. He finally said: II want to say,
however, that the visit had no political sig
nifcance. We made the trip at the sugges-
tion of friend who thought it would be a
good place to take brief rest We saw a
good deal of Mr.. Cleveland while there,
but there were many things besides politics
that engaged our attention. Further than
that there is nothing for me to state"
Since the visit has become known there
has been some speculation as to whether the
ex-President is taking hold of his own can
didacy and directing the movements of
his friends. 1t has been contended all along
that Mr.. Cleveland was not raising his
hand to obtain the nomination, but some
Democrats are beginning to think that his
interest in his candidacy grows as the time
for holding the convention draws nearer.

HALDANE'S NEW LAND BILL REJECTED

LONDON, May 4.-Richard Haldans's bill
| to give to local authorities power to compel
land owners to sell their land, in order that
1t may be divided into small holdings, was
discussed In the House of Commons to-day.
Herbert Asquith advanced Liberal),
member for East Fifeshire, spoke quietly
in favor Of the measure. He contended
that the owner of the land on which human
residences are built is not entitled to the
improved value of the land due to the in
crease of the population. In that, Mr..
Asquith held, land differed from consols or
q commercial enterprise
Before he had an opportunity to explain
wherein the difference lies, he was inter-
rupted by Cunningham Graham, the So
cialist, who represents the Northwest di-
vision of Lanarkshire, who excitedly asked:
"How about swindling the shareholders
in company"
He Wouldn't Come to Order.
Amid cries Of order Mr.. Graham shouted,
IT have right to explain. This is swim
ding speech"
The House was in great confusion, and
Speaker Peel called Mr.. Graham to order.
The latter refused to be silent, and finally
the Speaker said: 'The conduct of the
member is such that am compelled to
name Mr.. Graham" This action was greet
ed with cheers. Mr.. Graham retorted:
"All right; 1 am named for standing up
for socialism
This caused renewed confusion, and at
last Home Secretary Henry Matthews
moved Mr.. Graham be suspended. To this
Mr.. Graham said: "Oh, suspend. I don't
care"
Mr.. Matthews motion was seconded, put
to the House and adopted without dissent
ing vote. The suspension Is for one week.
When the result was announced Mr. Gra-
ham said:
"Mr. Speaker, beg to apologize for my
apparent discourtesy to you, but consider
that have been suspended for standing up
for socialism, I would be glad to argue the
question before 100000 people in Hyde
Park"
He Swaggers Out, Still Talking.
During the scene, Sir John Lubbock, who
was sitting near Mr.. Graham, tried to con-
troll the latter, urging him to obey the
Speakers call to ORDER Mr.. Graham, In
response to these well-inteRtioned efforts,
said, II don't care - I have been
named for talking socialism"
Immediately after the motion suspending
him was adopted, Mr.. Graham walked with
q staggering gait down the floor, saying as
he went, "This House Is swindle. am
suspended as a Socialist" He talked until
the door closed behind him.
The discussion of Mr.. Haldane's bill was
then resumed. When the measure was put
to a vote the House rejected it; 146 mem
bers voted in favor of it, and 223 against it

HUSTON FOR Hoos1ER GOVERNOR.
A Peace Patched Up With Harrison on
That Kind of a Basis.


WASHINGTON, May Al Special 1-Ex-
United States Treasurer j. N. Huston, of
Indiana, arrived in the city Saturday night
and left for home last night. The object of
Mr.. Huston's visit here was the subject of
considerable speculation among politicians
who knew Mr.. Huston and were acquainted
with the facts surrounding his retirement
from the Treasurer's Office 1t was under
stood that Mr.. Huston was displeased with
the treatment he received by the President,
both socially and officially, threatening to
resign for several months before he did, in
order to embarrass the administration. Now
it is said, on pretty good authority, that the
administration sent for him to come to
Washington, and after several conferences
it was arranged that Mr.. Huston should be
the administration candidate for Governor
OF the Hoosier State this fall.
1t is claimed that Mr. Huston's candi-
dacy vii! have harnonizing effect on the
party in Indiana, and that he will bring
into line all the discontents and disap-
pointed ofice-seekers in the State. Besides
this, be will be able to raise a good cam

INDICTMENTS TO BE PUSHED.
Attorney ". F. McCook Will See That the
Law Is Enforced,


Law Is Enforced.
Willis F. McCook, attorney for the prose-
cution in the oleomargarine cases, said yes
terday in regard to the indictments found
by the grand jury:
There seems to be a misrepresentation on
the part OF some of those against whom the
grand jury have found indictments for SELL
ing oleomargarine that these indictments
will not be pushed. I wish to inform them
otherwise. I will further state that pro S
cutions will likewise be instituted against
those not already returned, including whole
salers II hereafter sales in any form are
continued, second returns will be asked for
at the next term of court the punishment
for which is imprisonment.
Neither my clients nor myself desire the
punishment or fine of anyone. We ask only
that the law be enforced against citizens of
other States and their products as it is
against ours. This, in the sincere hope that
if the sales of such a necessary, healthy and
cheap food are stopped, the Legislature may
recognize the wisdom of repeating an OBJ
noxious law, which discriminates against
citizens of our own State, manufacturer and
consumer alike.

DEFINING THE DEMON Is DowNoAsE
After His Execution His Brain VIII Prob
ably BE Examined.

MELBOURNE, May 4-Deeming, the
wife murderer, has become very much
downcast during the past "a hours. He ap-
pears to place but little reliance in an ap-
peal to the judicial Committee of the Privy
Council He admits he is now partly con-
vinced that he committed the murder, but
still insists that he does not remember any
of the incidents that led to the killing, or
of the killing itself He expresses no re-
gret, and makes none Of the usual profess
sions of repentance. He declines to see the
Jail chaplain or any other clergyman.
The biography which Deeming is writing
deals at length with the killing of Mrs.
Deeming and the four children at Rain
Hill The Governor Of the Jail, who has
seen the manuscript, says the story is writ
ten in an incoherent way. It Is probable
that after Deeming is executed experts will
be allowed to examine his brain in order to
determine the question of his sanity.

friend of Senator Quay, in speaking. of the
allegation of Philadelphia paper that he
got $40, 900 year salary while Chairman of
the Republican National Committee, says:
Such a thing is ridiculous L know all

the other hand, he, with A. L. Conger.
Dudley, Fassatt and Clarkson had to incur

This sum is still carried by notes as debt
of the Executive Committee, and the man
tor whose election the debt was incurred
has never offered to pay off a cent of it or
to assist in carrying it.
This was not quite so bad as in the
Blaine campaign of 1884, when a debt of
almost $4,000 was settled by B. f. Jones
and Stephen B. Elkins"

sickness of his counsel, D. F. Patterson, it
was postponed until Monday,
During the day Attorney W. D. Moore,
who had been employed by Mcclure, asked

Marion had been employed to defend Nc
Clure, but the latter did not seem to have
full confidence in them and had engaged
Mr. Patterson also. He, therefore, wished
to withdraw from the case. The Court made
no comment on the matter and Mr.. Moore

A Feeling That Is Too Common
in the Merry Month of May.

In the spring there is, the doctors say, almost q
universal tendency to languid, depressed feelings
And they say lit is natural"
The nerves are weak, the blood impure, and the
general health out of order.
Rev. P. O. Abbey, well-known preacher Of
Barre, VT, is no exception to this rule. A corre-
spondent of the Boston journal quotes him as say
ing:
II was feeling very much debiitated, with that
languid feeling such as comes from overwork: that
is. felt old. tried Paine's celery compound, and
was soon relieved from that worn-out. fatigueo
feeling. Since then always use 1t at the change
of seasons, and with the most satisfactory re-
sults.''
Rev. Mr.. Abbey's experience is but one of many.
He voices the universal opinion in regard to this
compound. the best spring medicine in the world
1t is not sarsaparilla, bitters nervne. 1t is
scientific discovery the most beneficial spring reg
ulator ever known. Pure blood. strong nerves and
clear brain come to its users.
