Blaine Wants Him Bounced.

Secretary of State Blaine Friday
wrote to President Harrison requesting the
recall of the nomination of Frederick
A. Bancroft Of New York, for consul at
Brunswick Germany. Mr.. Bancroft was
formerly librarian Of the department of
state. and the Secretary declares that he
was removed because Of "his utter unfit
ness for the place. He had no aptitude
for the work. the Secretary says, qiiarrclled
with the other officers of the department
so that business was interferred with, and
treated Mr.. Blaine with discourtesy when
transferred 10 the consular service. The
position of state department librarian was
given to Mr. Bancroft of Illinois, by Sec
rotary Bayard and lie was the only re-
naming chief of the bureau appointed
under the Cleveland administration. MIR.
Blaine nominated him to the consulship at
Brunswick, Germany, on May 18th. MIR.
Bancroft's literary pursuits make it i'm
possible for him to live abroad. Mr..
Blaine's object was to get rid Of him, as it
appeared.

with the skeletons, but no buttons bearing

taken as evidence that the remains are
those of Confederate soldiers.
During the war there was very hard

were unearthed, and the burial place
while now an open field, was at that time

MELBOURNE, May 23.--After the execu.
ton of Deeming, the murderer, this morn
ing, when the body had remained in view
of the spectators for few seconds, the
curtain in front of the scaifold was drawn.
coroner's jury was then empanelied.
Death was instantaneous. The tongue
was subsequently seen to protrude slightly
from the dead mans mouth, while the
jaws were firmly set. His eyes showed
signs of recent heavy weeping.
All of Deeming's writings are in posses
sion of the authorities, and it is under
stood that he made written confession of
the Windsor murder. The bulk of his
Literary offerings, however, are but repe-
tition OF his previous conflicting state
ments. The biography, which report had
it he was going to bequeath to Miss Kate
Housewife, his latest tiancee, is full of
ribald illusions and fantastic vaporings.

scious of SO doing. can only regard my
execution as a murder. Still, death will
be relief. should have died happy but
for this point" lie referred to Miss
Housewife in terms that the Rev. Mr..
Scott declines to have published.
The chaplain said that Deeming was the
strangest man he had ever met IN the
course Of his long-experience with crimi-
nails. He declared that he was doubtful
whether the murderer was a splendid
actor Or n lunatic, but he was inclined to
believe that he was crazy.
When Deening was PRAYING in his cell,
just before the execution, he was overheard
asking forgiveness for the injury he had
done his family. This is construed as u
confession Of the Rainhal murders.

The Corpse of Suicide Found on the
Touchet, Near DAYTON.

DAYTON, March 21.-TSpecial While
stock hunting this afternoon, Carl Bishop
and Benny Whiting, 14-year-old youths,
found the remains of man two miles
from Dayton, on the Touchet. Coroner
Van Patten and Sheriff Thronson were
notified and went to the scene at once.
The body was found resting on the right
side. the left arm across the breast, the
right arm upright with the hand bent
over A 44-calibre revolver with two
chambers empty was found on the ground,
as if he had dropped it from the right
hand. A hole in the forehead told the
cause of death.
Numerous letters found on the dead man
indicate that his name was Nick Tram
pert, OF Luxembourg, Germany. The let
ters found were addressed to him at No.
30 Madison street, Portland, Or, and were
from Peter Trampert, Eden Valley, MINI.
A silver watch and chain, two note books,
buckskin purse and red silk handker-
chief were also found. The notebooks
contained the address of +. ID. Meredith,
Portland, Or, and nothing else. Inside
the watch case were tintypes, presumably
likenesses of Nick, which are mentioned
in one of the German letters written by
Peter Trampert. The purse contained
only cents.
Transport was well dressed, wearing an
astracan coat and vest new pants, shoes
and underclothes. He was last seen in
Dayton nearly a month ago. when he pre-
tended to be buying cattle for Spaulding &
Co., of Portland. All the letters found
are written in German and are from Lux
emburg to Peter Trampert, who remailed
them to Nick at Portland. One letter
sends greetings to his bride, but there is
no other evidence of his having been mar
ried. The coroner's jury returned ver-
dict of suicide. Sheriff Thronson tele-
graphed to the friends of deceased and Is
awaiting their disposition of the body.
Trampert was about 35 years of age.
Although the jury returned a verdict of
suicide today there is likely to be a further
investigation in the case tomorrow. Since
the remains have been brought to the city
it has been discovered that the hole in the
forehead of the dead man is the best indi-
cation that he was shot from behind.

that the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company were endeavoring TO charter the
City of Pue5la to ply on the San Francisco

contract with the Pacific Mail requiring
certain time to be made between Panama
and San Francisco. The steamers now on
that route have been falling short of the
required time lately. The last steamer
was four days late in making her passage
and 1t is now proposal that a faster
steamship be engaged for her run until
other permanent arrangements are made.
