THE JUDICIAL VACANCY.
WHY HARRISON APPOINTED A DEM
OCRAT TO FILL 1T.
1t Gives Him Chance to Appoint q
Republican to District Judge
ship-Opposition to Jackson's
Confirmation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-There are in
quiries as to the reasons which led Pres
ident Harrison to appoint Democrat to
succeed the late Justice Lamar on the
supreme bench. The statement comes
very direct that he was led to do this be-
cause of Republican opposition to his
making any nomination, and the re-
sponsibility for his failure to nominate
Republican is said to lie upon IL Re-
publicans in the senate who determined
to oppose any confirmation proposed by
the president. 1t was at first his inten-
tion to nominate either Judge Emery
Speer or Judge Pardee. On making in
quiries among the Republican senators
as to which would be most apt to secure
ready confirmation, he discovered that
there were about IL Republican sem
ators who would oppose any confirmation
! pe..iy On saas-ause of thais-pssscnal an
tagonism to the president and partly on
account of their desire to bring other
matters to the front in the senate. At
fret on discovering this Harrison de.
cided he would not send in any nominal
ton. He held to this purpose until the
afternoon of yesterday, when he became
convinced that Democrat might be
confirmed with the aid of the Demo-
cratic senators. He then decided 10
send in a nomination to be confirmed
whose confirmation would leave very
important circuit judgeship to be filed.
The senators who opposed his making
the appointment will probably try to
prevent confirmation, and there appears
to be strong probability that they NAV
succeed. Unless advantage is taken of
the custom of senatorial courtesy !"
which discountenances delay in action
on the nomination of an ex senator, the
matter will be forced to the front with
promptness. If confirmation is secured
promptly it is expected the president
will nominate Judge w. 0. Bradley of
Kentucky, who is one of the prominent
leaders of the southern Republicans
and was very prominently spoken of at
Minneapolis for the nomination for the
vice-presidency, to succeed Judge Jack
son on the circuit bench.
The fact that Judge Jackson was
favored by Justice Brown of the su-
preme bench and by President Harri-
cons brother, If o Republican could not
be confirmed, had some influence in
inducing the appointment OF Judge
jackson under the existing circum-
stances.
At a meeting of the senate judiciary
committee today there was some opposi.
tion to the nomination of Judge jackson
to succeed Justice Lamar, and the nom
ination went over under the rules. The
objection is chiefly based on the princi-
pie that an outgoing president should
not make an important life appoint
ment.

ENORMOUS DAMAGE DONE BY THE
RECENT SHOCKS.
The Whole IsIaud Devastated-Many OF
the Inhabitants Crazed by Fear.
The King to Visit the
Scene OF Distress.

ATHENS, Feb. SIT is an undisputed
fact that the earthquake during the past
two or three days is the worst that has
done damage on the island in modern
times. The shock experienced last
night did enormous damage. In fact
the whole island was devastated. To
add to the terror of the inhabitants a
most terrific thunder storm prevailed at
the time of the shocks. The people
were panic stricken and 80 great was the
fear Inspired that many persons en-
tirely lost their reason and are
now hopelesely crazy. An unfortunate
situation is the fact that last nights
shock destroyed the bread ovens in
Zente, rendering it impossible for the
greater portion of the inhabitants to
procure the most necessary article OF
tnaas--The. r,iaissAs " &I1t h6i has qaS

ROME, Feb. 3.-The pressure among
the deputies for parliamentary in
quiry into the bank scandals WAS in
creased today by confirmation of the
report that Signor Tanlongo, the i'm
prisoned governor of the Bank of Rome,
made statement duplicating Premier
Giolitti and ex.Premiers Di Rudini and
Crispi. Immediately after the opening
of the chamber, the president read a
letter from ex-Premier Crispi denying
the charges in strong language.
Signor Rolsjani spoke at length con-
cerning the necessity of appointing a
parliamentary commission to inquire into
the scandal. His speech was delivered
amid increasing confusion, which swelled
to an uproar when in conclusion he
shouted defantly: "The National bank
paid annually large sum OF money to
the secret service fund; all suspected
this, and many of us knew it."
"a more utterly false statement could
not be made" exclaimed Premier Gio-
litti.
Giolitti, during his speech, was inter-
rupted frequently with protests and the
statements of his unalterable determina-
tion to oppose parliamentary inquiry
produced tumult.
Signor Grimaldi, minister of justice,
amid renewed disorder, repudiated the
infamous accusations against him and
the department OF justice.
After short, but sto my debate, the
chamber decided to authorize the prose
cution of Deputy Zerbi.

Signor Notarbartolo on train near

CHICAGO, Feb. 3.--Col. Volney @. Ash
ford, ex-commander of the Hawaiian

the opinion that the United States must
either annex the Sand wich islands or let
them alone. A protectoy.lte, he declares
will be distasteful to the Hawaiians.
They would in all probability prefer an
independent republic, or even a return
to the government of the deposed
queen.
II have seen it strongly questioned. -
he said, whether the gentlemen who
are representing the provisional govern
ment at Washington represent the
majority Of the people. and
L can most emphatically sav
they do. 1t is reported that the British
inhabitants of the islands are more nu.
merous than the Americans and there.
lore British influence is above par there.
That is very great mistake. The
Americans are the most numerous and
the desire for British rule or for aonera.
tion to the British empire amounts corr
paratively to nothing. Even the Brit
iHh residents of the islands realize fhat
the commercial prosperity Of the Sand
wich islands lies in annexation to the
United States. | do not believe Great
Britain will file any protest against fbs
