Harrison Determined to Promote Attor-
Dey General Despite Senators.
WASHINGTON CRY, April 12.-[Special.]E
1t is claimed today that President Harri-
son has decided to appoint Attorney-Gen-
eral Miller to the supreme court vacancy.
1t is known that the president had decided
to give Mr.. Miller an appointment of this
kind whenever any vacancy occurred in
the past, but his action has been deferred
owing to the opposition of many Repub-
lican senators to Mr.. Miller's elevation to
this high position. 1t has generally been
understood that the senators have in
formed the president that they would do
all in their power to prevent Mr.. Miller's
confirmation if he was appointed to a
position of this kind.
Today it is claimed that the president
has determined to take the bull by the
horns, and that he will send Mr.. Miller's
name to the Senate to fill the vacancy. 1t
is understood that he has been informed
that the opposition that might be devel-
oped to Mr.. Miller will not be strong
enough to prevent his confirmation. He
will therefore be appointed and confirmed
without doubt.

Martha washington's Grave Sacred.

RICHMOND, April 1.-THE Virginia su-
preme court of appeals yesterday heard
argument in the case involving the allega-
ton that an opinion had been given on a
lot III which is the grave of the mother of
Geoge Washington. The title of the case
Is kirtley d Robert VS.. Sheperd. from the
circuit court of the city of Fredericksburg
The records show that on February %,
1889, defendant, Sheperd, gave Kirtley 4,
Robert, real estate firm of Fredericks-
burg, an option for the purchase of the
lot, the sum mentioned being $50, 500,
which was to include also the monument
which has been contributed by New York
men. but never completed. The real estate
firm claim and the records bear out their
claim, that they found a purchaser for s20,-
500 in c. P. Huntington, of Baltimore. The
property advertised in various parts of the
country attracted considerable attention.
The result was that the people of Fred
ericksburg held a mass-meeting, at which
resolutions disappearing the proposed sale
OF the sacred spot were adopted. Sheperd
refused to accept $50, 500 and to make a
deed for the lot. The result was damage
suit instituted by the real estate firm in
the courts of Fredericksburg. The decis-
ion was against plaintiffs, the court hold
ing that the spot containing the grave of
the mother of Washington could not be
be the subject of sale. This opinion will.
tits believed, be substantially approved by
the supreme court. This the tribunal in
timated yesterday in refusing to hear argu-
ments of plaintiffs counsel.
