NEW YORK, April 10 4 American Press
Special Telegraphic Letter. There is
more political gossip here to-day than on
She eve of elections While President Cleve-
land, Secretary Gresham and party were
spending Sunday at Wilmington with AM
bassadors Bayard and Eustis, Secretary
Lamont, Lieutenant Governor Sheehan and
others who had just come from Washing
ton were seen here and the wires We're kept
so busy between New York and Whining
ton it was evident that appointments, es-
pecially for New York, had been under
consideration more than foreign affairs.
Sheehan has returned to Albany and his
friends expect that he and the New York
senators will get their ultimatum at the
conference with the president next Friday.
Sheehan Denies Report.
Blue-eyed Lieutenant Governor Sheehau
of course denies that the little black bag
which he carried when he called on Presi-
dent Cleveland Saturday contained Tam
many's ultimatum, the newspapers bad
hsinuated. With charming naivete the
lieutenant governor declares that not be-
ing member of the Democratic state gen
eral committee he'takes little or no interest
In the distribution of federal patronage in
New York, and he further states that he
simply went to Washington to confer with
the president regarding some appointments
in Buffalo and Erie county-his home. AS
he will return to the national capital for
another interview on Friday of this week
the suspense will not last much longer.

The Trial of buchanan.
Last week was great week for the de-
Tense in the case of the little Nova Scotian,
Doctor Buchanan, who is charged with
having killed his wife with mixture of
morphine and its antidote, atrophine. The
prosecution is still on, but most of the
witnesses have proved of valuable assist
ance to the defense. In fact it is asserted
confidently that the original plan of at
tack by the prosecution has been practically
abandoned. All this because Mr.. O'Sulli-
van, one of the counsel for defense, is as
thorough medical man as the experts.
He cross-examined SO "expertly" that they
didn't know where they were most of the
time.
Pay for Rescue of the Hecla.

turned back and towed the disabled Hecla
to New Vow, will come in for pretty sum

reach $50, ZOO.
