OLNEY AND HARRIrY.

The First to Be Attorney General and
the Latter Secretary of the Navy.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Mr. Cleveland
has invited Richard Olney of Boston to be
Attorney General. Mr.. Olney had not
accepted at last accounts, although the
offer was made early last week. Mr..
Oluey is life long democrat, except that
he bolted Ben Butler in 1888; successful
lawyer whose practice yields an income Of
over $50, 200 year and was considered by
Mr.. Cleveland for chief justice when he
appointed Chief Justice Fuller. He is about
55 years old and in vigorous health. He
is counsel for the Chicago, Burling-
Atchison and Santa Fe, the Boston
and Maine and other railroads
and would have to make great sacrifices to
accept. He is supposed to be now prepar-
ing to disentangle himself with a view to
accepting. Massachusetts representatives
OF both parties praise the appointment.
From the same source which yielded this
news comes the statement that Mr.. HarritY
of Philadelphia is to be Secretary of the
Navy, having reconsidered his refusal to
serve in the cabinet.

rior court building and for few momentsit
looked as II a serious cutting affray would
ensue The case was called for arguments
this morning before Judge Jenkins OF the
Flint circuit and pending a recess Of the
court, which was held IN the judges office,
a spirited tilt occurred and for a brief
space 1t looked as IL blood would be shed.
The room was crowded, there being some
twenty or thirty people present. mostly
lawyers, and they were not prepared
for the scene that transpired. Ed Coates,
one Of the former proprietors OF the 1eIe-
graph, was In one part OF the room, while
Mr.. Wimberly, a young attorney, was in
another just as Judge Jenkins closed the
door behind him on leaving the room Mr.,
Wimberly walked up to Mr.. Coates and
clutching the lapel Of his coat, said: "I
want 10 tell you. sir, that the card in Sum
days NetCs Is unequivocaily false. II you
ever In the future write or say anything
ear 70 ear" Mr.. Wimberly had
in his hand a knife, but he made no at
tempt 20 use it. As the last words fell
from his lips Mr.. Coates struck at him, but
several gentlemen interfered before any
blood was split. There was no further de-
velopments. and friends OF both express q
hope that the affair is ended.
When the case was resumed again Judge
Jenkins ordered that the property must De
sold at public auction between the legal
hours Of sale on March g.

NO MORE TESTS AT PORT ROYAL.

The Relation of the Detonating Com

On board the Vesuvius to-day the work
consisted in removing the charges of wet
guncotton from the tne shells remaining
In the racks. The inference is that the
board will convert the live projectiles into
dummies and fire them for the purpose of
obtaining more accurate valve settings at
ranges OF 900 and 500 yards Whether or
not this will be done under special super
vision of the board, or will be left to the
officers Of the Vesuvius, has not been stated,
but it is taken for granted that Capt.
Barker Of the Philadelphia and the other
members Of the board will accompany his
