The prospects to-day are that the Pop

Republicans, and that the situation will
then lapse back into the condition of yes

In that event the only resource left the
Populists Will be reliance upon provis-

The general feeling this morning is one
of renewed uneasiness, and predictions
are freely made that to-day may see the

A STORY telling about the establish
ing of u ranch on an island in Puget
sound, by James Wardner, a wealthy
citizen of Fairhaven, Washington, for
the propagation of black cats for their
alleged valuable fur, was printed, with
considerable interesting detail, in a
Washington state paper about q year
ago. The story, copied all over the
country, turned out to be fake and al
legged ''joloe." But for months after
ward Mr.. Wardner was annoyed by let
ters from all over the country making
inquiry about the ranch, Offering cats
for sale, and making all manner of
propositions touching the novel Indus
try. His denials of the whole thing
were printed, but they never complete
ly caught up with the story. Now an
Iowa paper gives the picturesque fiction
all over again, and odds that the writer
has been to the ranch and seen the cat
colony, and that n black catskin Is
worth two dollars.

SOME of our republican contempora-
ries are advising Mr. Cleveland to avail
himself of the opportunity to inaugurate
a new policy respecting the civil ser
vice and rise above the usual partisan
method of disposing of the offices. Why
in the world didn't they commend a
similar opportunity to Mr. Harrison's at
teption some four years ago? If he had
risen to the altitude which they would
like Mr. Cleveland to attain respecting
the civil service, what a kicking there
would have been along the whole repub-
lican line.

HELD FOR MURDER.

New Haven Man Dies After Being
Assaulted BY Bartender.
New HAVEN. Dec 9.-At about o'clock
this morning Frank E. Reynolds died in a
mysterious way. and hasty examination
by the medical examiner revealed circum-
stances which warranted the arrest of
George G. Brennan to be held until the
coroner can arrive at the true state of
things. A knowledge of details is meagre,
but so far as they can be obtained, the
story is as follows: George ]. Brennan is a
bartender for James f. McGann, who
keeps a saloon at the corner of Hill street
and Congress avenue. Yesterday Rey-
nolds went into the place and took drink.
As the story goes he refused to pay for it
and wordy quarrel took place between
him and Brennan. The latter. it is said,
was struck by Reynolds and in turn
smashed Reynolds in the face. telling him
to the floor. The latter picked himself up
and walked home. He complained of feel
ing badly last night and this morning died
as stated above. The medical examiner
finds that death was caused by clot on
the brain. Brennan is under arrest.
