OF conversation with the writer aid one
OF the leading ply sicians of the country,
who occasionally attends the secretary, the
physician remarked: ~ see some of the

sixty-two years old. and although you have
told me, and ! believe, that in heart, lungs,
kidneys and otherwise, am free from or

ton and election to the presidency, l could
not accept it. At my ago and with my
temperament, and knowing what effect

Opposition TO the SMEAR Trust.

PHILADELPHIA, April S.-From informs
ton received by Philadelphia firm which
handles and distributes a large quantity OF
refined sugar, it appears that the Sugar
trust is beginning to fear the results of tho
determined warfare which has been in
augurated against it by Wholesale grocers
all over the country, especially those of
Philadelphia and New York. Grocers are
said to be holly interested in the proposed
new retindries here and on Staten island.
The big corporation has so far condescended
to notice the movement as to offer the i'm
porting Erocers Of Philadelphia q table of
rebates by which they will be able, if ac-
copied, to get small profit on the sugar
they handle. a meeting with closed doors
was held by q number Of importing
grocers yesterday fer the purpose OF
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of ao-
cepting or rejecting the proposition.
So far as can be learned, no definite con-
clusion was reached. Philadelphia dealers
are getting letters from all over the eoun-
try 10 keep up the fight and that dealers
in Chicago, Cincinnati, New Orleans, ST.
Paul, Denver and all other commercial and
manufacturing cities will stand by them.

rate data obtainable it is learned that since

In the House

WASHINGTON, April S.-A resolution was
lands to examine into the resembling of the
leases of the Yellowstone Park association
and granting the same later to S. S. Hunt
ley. The House then went into committee
of the whole on the cotton bagging bill.
English, of New Jersey, author of the
ballad "Ben Bolt" in dissertation upon
the tariff, opposed the bill. Hemph III
favored the bill.
Simpson, OF Kansas, announced himself
as an absolute free trader. He was not
willing to compromise with wrong; he
wished to see, from selfish standpoint. the
southern farmer released from every tax.
The less the southern farmer was robbed
the more he would have left to buy Kansas
corn; so he favored the bill. II took a step
toward putting everything else on the free
list. 1t was the protection necessary to
protect labor. Had not somebody
deprived labor Of its natural life! Labor
was king; labor was sovereign, pushed
from the throne and capital a bastard
monarch, relgned instead. On account of
the protective system the House passed n
few days ago a bill which is disgrace TO
any civilized nation, to protect the country
against the labor OF the highest protective
nation in the world. The House did this in
the interest OF California, and in defense
OF the people Of California; he had been
compelled to vote against the BILL
The general debate being concluded,
Turner, of Georgia, IN charge of the bill,
moved TO strike out the clause to make free
hoop or band iron or hoop or band steel
flored, splayed or punched. Agreed to.
The committee rose, the bill was reported
to tho House and a recess until O'Clock
taken.
The evening session of the House, last
ing from S to 10 80, consisted of the usual
Friday night farce a little tragedy was

a High Polish Ecclesiastic Assassinated.

BERLIN, April S.-Near Kosreleg, vii
lnge in Prussia. DR.. Poninsky, high Polish
ecclesiastic, was waylaid by four men and
riddled with bullets. A number of villag-
ers pursued the sssassins, and after des-
perate fight killed two of them, and then
the two remaining murderers, seeing es-
cape was impossible, took their own lives.
On each body was found red ticket, with
the words: "Execution committee, Polish
Anarchists DR.. Poninsky had incurred
the wrath of the Anarchists by his utter
ances and was in consequ nee killed. Great
Indignation exists and efforts VIII be made
to capture the other conspirators.
Some persons asserted the assasslns
were nothing but common robbers, who
took advantage of the prevailing excite
ment caused by Anarchist outrages to use
cards signed COMMITTEE of Polish Anar-
chists" for frightening Dr. Poninski into
surrendering money, of which he was
known 10 have large sums in connection
with his position in the church. The
authorities, however, are searching in
every direction, and If it should prove true
that the four assassins were really Anar-
chists, 1t is thought whole band of con-
splratorS will soon be arrested.

The Cattlemen,s ARMY IN comn.

CASPER, Wyo, April S.-A courier from
the seat of war arrived here to-day and re-
ported the army of Pinkertons and cattle
men, who are after the rustlers, is in camp
ct the narrows, about seventy miles north
Of here. The army is well supplied with
ammunition and supplies. The
rustlers have made small ranchmen be-
lieve it is to their interests to OPPOSE
the army, ard if fight occurs, it will be
desperate one. They believe fight will
take place not later than Saturday, as the
rustlers are prepared, and they think the
army will show no quarter. Another army
OF cattlemen is reported on its
way to reinforce the first one. M
one doubts but that the cattlemeu
from Texas and Montana are combining in
an effort TO crush out the rustlers. IL
both armies of cattlemen now in the field
unite, they will undoubtedly win the bat
tie, but the rustIers defy either of the par
ties il attacked by but one at time.

Especial to TIE HERALD-Examlner Dispatch. ]
WASHINGTON, April S.-The Kaleidoscope
of American politics is about to present
the unique spectacle of great states man
aud possible candidate for the presidency
under training in the hands of a profess
sional wrestler. Both men occupy the
very highest position in their respective
fields OF activity, for one is the secretary Of
state, James G.. Blaine, and the other is the
scarcely less Distinguished William Null
doom. Although, naturally enough. the secre-
tary had strong objections to having the ar
rangemenL made pubic, but the facts
Leaked out to-day. An intimate friend OF
MIR. Blaine, who was IN the city Tor several
days last week, suggested to him that less
medicine and strict observance of the
laws OF nature under competent QIrec-
ton would make sound man
OF him again. MIR. Blaine readily
assented TO tins proposition, but when the
friend suggested Mr.. Muldoon as q prCper
the secretary smiled. Under much persua-
sion, however, he consented TO an interview
with the famous athlete. MuldoOn was in
Washington with q theatrical company and
after the matinee mpanied Mr. Blaine 8
frleud, and with considerable en- barrass-
ment entered the Secretary's presence.
Alter an interview lasting an hour, during
which Mr. Blaine was subjected to rigid
examination as 10 his condition and moue
OF living, Muldoon gave minute directions,
which the secretary carefully noted
down, as 10 diet, exercise and
hours of rest. The wrestler expressed
regret that his contract with the
theatrical company would not permit him
to give Mr.. Blaine his personal attention
at present, but promised TO place himself
at The secretary's service at the end of the
season. MIR. Blaine is said 10 have taken
fresh nope from Mudoon's visit and has
flung physic To the dogs. He is now living
up TO the directions.

MELBOURNE, April Sit is believed the
trial of Deeming will prove the most inter-
esting that has ever taken place anywhere
in the world. AS stated in these dis
patches, the defense will be insanity, ard
many experts will be called to testify as to
the species Of madness with which his coun-
sci claim ne is afflicted. No denial is vet
made by the defense that Deeming did
commit all the murders attributed TO him;
in fact his counsel by his tacit admissions
at the coroner's inquest shows be believes
his client is at least guilty of the killing
with which he is charged, but be claims
that owing to the cougential Influences he
is not responsible for his homicidial mania.
Efforts will be made to procure a pro-
lenged adjournment OF his trial in order to
enable witnesses to come from England 10
