The coveted prize OF the Governorshlp OF
the National Soldiers Home has fallen to
worthy aspirant in being awarded to Gen.
DAVID s. STANLEY. The recomm endation OF
this officer for the post is creditable to Secre-
tary LAMONT. who had several deserving can-
didates to pick from. the place being plum
for distinguished general officers retired for
age and always vigorously sought after But
no mistake was made in giving 1t to Gen.
STANLEY. A subaltern in the Second ORA
Goons forty years ago. after his graduation
from the Academy. he has had an unbroken
career in the army ever since. Tho outbreak
ofthe civil war found him a Captain OF cavalry
and he was made Brigader- General Of Vol
unteers in 1881. He was RosEcRANs's chief OF
cavalry the following year and in 1863. while
his subsequent career in command OF dvs-
ion and finally Of the Fourth Corps showed
him to be an admirable soldier. His brevets
for Stone River. Resnca. Rufus Station. and
Franklin attest his m erits. After the war. and
up to his recent retirement for age. he filed
many responsible commands. notably in
Texas. Gen. KELroNs vacancy at the Soldiers
Home has been suitably filed.

Who the Deuce Is Pillsbury?

An esteemed correspondent in Brooklyn
Insists that PrLLsBURY. who is said to be
: candidate for the Republican nomination
for Governor Of Massachusetts,. be pro-
duced. A Legitimate curiosity inspires the
demand. but who is to satisfy it We as
sure our Brooklyn friend that PILLsBURY
Is not on our premises. and who the deuce
and where the deuce he is We know not
We publish this morning some selections
from vast collection of material that
comes to us from Massachusetts. The most
Interesting thing in this is the evidence it
gives of the enthusiasm with which tho
name OF INDEPENDENCE BALL inspires the
Bay State poets. The quality OF their per-
formances may not be OF the best. but we
must remember that Parnassus was
rocky old place. any way. Devotion to
BALL Is not more strongly manifested in
these verses than violent Discrimination
to PILLSBURY on the ground OF his sup
posed weakness and consummate lack Of
whereabouts.
From these verses and from the other
Massachusetts, letters which we print to-
day. our correspondent may or may not get
some more definite idea Of the situation OF
PILLsBURY. We confess. for our part, that
the more We read about PILLsBURY the
more puzzled do We become. II here and
there there seems to be an opening and q
glimpse OF daylight. the darkness Of the
forest and the night soon closes around
the strolling mysterious figure. At the
blacksmith's shop at noon. at the village
grocery at night, men ask each other sui
lenly and suspiciously. Who the deuce Is
PILLsBURY. Meanwhile this shy roamer
of the thickets. this underbrush statesman.
makes no sound. and is not seen in the
haunts of men. Who shall essay to track
these fugitive steps. to grasp this will-o'-
tbe-wisp. to hobbe this phantom OF the
dusk? Even could we find PTLLsBURY. his
honest answer to our inquiries might DO

BERLIN, June 24.-The progress today
by elections appears to support the gov
ernment calculation, that reballoting
will give it SO seats. The government
will thus have in the new reichstag 1893
votes out OF 397, bare majority OF one
vote-not much to rejoice over, yet the
government organs express content with
the result of the voting. In the Berlin
second district today the united
strength OF three parties was not sufi-
cient to defeat Herr Fischer. candidate
of the Social Democrats. In the first
Berlin district, DIR. Lengerhaust, Richt-
erist. scored the first success yet credit
ed that party or faction.
The speech Of Emperor William open
ing the reichstag is awaited with much
anxiety, as reports indicate that bis
language will menace the freedom of
the eufffage.
In an interview today a prominent
minister said the government neither
anticipated q further dissolution Of the
reichstag nor any encroachment on the
suffrage.
Chancellor Won Capriyi, DR.. MIGUEL,
DIR. Stephan and other political notables
voted for Lanerhaus today. With this
decisive example before them, OF min
listers actually supporting an opponent
of the army hill rather than allow the
Socialists to triumph, the adhesion by
the electors to the government candl-

lists, has become secured.

SAN FRANcIsco BANKS.

Excitement substded-PeopIe Redeposit-
ing Their Savings.
SAN Francisco, June 24..There was
nothing around any of the banks of the
city this morning to indicate any excite
ment. Small groups Of men stood on
the sidewalks in front of several savings
banks, but there was no attempt at q
run on any Of them. The San Francisco
Savings union reported a greater
amount of deposits than it had
received on any one day for q
month or more. A number of persons
who had Withdrawn their accounts from
the Hibernis bank yesterday, called al
that institution this morning and wanted
to redeposit their money, but they were
informed that their deposits were not
desired. r. II. Mcdonald jr. stated
this morning that the Pacific bank
would open again 5000. There is
nothing out of the ordinary at any of
the commercial banks.
