Chief of Agriculture and acting chief of

of the Worlds Fair, may retire from the

Last week X. j. Richardson, member
of the National Democratic Committee from
Iowa, went to New York to urge Mr.. Cleve-
lands advisers to put the Iowa man in Jer-
emiah Rusk's chair.
Governor Boies would seem to be the
natural choice il any Iowan were taken into
the Cabinet, but he is reported as being
heartily in favor of Chief Buchanan's ap-
pointment. They are warm friends, and
have been for years. "Would you accept
the place?" Mr.. Buchanan was asked to-
day. 81 refuse to accept anything" he re-
piled, 'until it has been offered to me.

case.
Speaking of the Borden case tonight,
Andrew ]. Jennings said he did not expect
that Miss Borden would be arraigned to-
morrow, as has been published. The theory
Of the law Is that when an arraignment tor
the commission of capital crime is made,
defendant, besides pleading, will also
have an oppoftunity to say who shall be
appointed to defend her. The appointment
is made by the Presiding Judge. There is
no doubt that in this case Miss Borden will
want Mr.. Jennings to continue to act for
her. consequently Mr. Jennings feels that
when Mr.. Pillsbury shall determine the
date of the arraignment he (Mr Jennings)
will by courtesy be notified. Mr. Jennings
believes that an arraignnent will be made
within two weeks at the latest.

Suicide Hard Pressed BY Hebrews Said
to Have Let the Cat Out of the Bag.
BERLIN, Dec. 5.-The documents in the
Rector Ahlwardt case were read in camera,
as it was feared that the public, lacking
technical knowledge, might e1aggerate the
Importance of the affair. The story circu-
lated and generally credited, is that prom
inent officer, heavily indebted to and hard
pressed by Hebrews, sent the document on
which the charges were based to Ahlwardt
and them committed suicide.
The secret documents were finally read in
open court this afternoon. They show that
500 out of 939 Loewe rI6es tested for the
Landwehr at Wesel required repairs.
Colonel Brakel, in his report, declares that
these defects do not prove that the rifles
are unserviceable, as the slightest mistake
in manufacture involves repairs.

Capitalists are preparing to establish a
line of steamers between Portland, Ore.
gon, and the Sandwich Islands to obtain
a share of the trade which San Francisco
now mcnopolizes. The islands last year
paid to San Francisco firms 1878, 900 for
flour and S465, 900 for grain and feed.
Portland can supply these staples cheaper
than its rival, and in return for them
expects to bring bananas, pineapples,
mangoes, and other fruits to its own
door. AS local merchant puts it:
"There is no reason why Portland should
pay San Francisco commission on our
fruits, and no reason why the islands
should pay San Francisco commission
on Oregon flour and feed. Closer COM
mercial relations must prove profitable
both to Portland and the islands, and I
see no reason why the enterprise should
not be success"

specimen than this, was found some
years ago near Oxford, England, and is
one of the most valued specimens now on
exhibition in the British Museum. j. L.
Buck, of Everett, claims the honor of
having brought this valuable relic to
light, although it was discovered four
years ago by prospector named Frank
Wi.loughby.
The spot where the skeleton was found
by Buck, who went north for that pur.
pose, was nearly mile from where the
original location was reported. The
skeleton was finally located by Buck and
his Indian assistant on top of the cele-
brated Muir glacier, six miles inland and
sou feet above the sea level, securely i'm.
bedded in large cake Of ice, requiring
the service of the entire party for two

fact that it was equally at homo in the
water, on land or in the air. In the first
instance the rate of speed was something
terrific, the momentum being produced
with the legs, while the enormous wings
served to keep the body out of the water,
the operation bordering upon the impos.
sible feat of walking on the water. The
great size of the whale-lizard can be
judged from the fact that single bone
weighed 794 pounds, while the entire
skeleton tipped the scales at 2400 pounds.
The bones will be put together by Buck
at his home in Everett, aud after being
exhibited will be sent to the Smithsonian
Institution. The specimen is valued at
$50, 600.
