JACKSON WILL eB CONFIRMED.
Favorable Action by the Senate on
Monday Not improbable.

Favorable Action by the Senate on
Monday Not improbable.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-PresIdenb Hnrrls
son expects to see Judge jackson confirmed
next week He is already at work selecting
a man to nominate for circuit judge In his
place. The President appears to have no
one in mind in this connection, except that
William o. Bradley of Kentucky whose
services 20 the Harrison managers at Min
neapolis entitle him to the Presidents re-
gard. Inasmuch as the circuit includes
Ohio and Michigan, as we'll as Kentucky
and Tennessee, the President Is also being
asked to nominate Ohio and Michigan
men. Inquiry among we'll informed
senator's to-day developed the fact
that President Harrison has good
ground for expecting the speedy confirma-
t1on OF Judge jackson. Senator German,
who always knows what is going on on the
democratic side, said that he expected 10
see Judge jackson confirmed on Monday.
Another democratic senator said that while
the Tennessee senators on account Of local
political differences were not friendly with
Judge jackson, and while several OF tho
old fashioned democratic senators held the
doctrine that Judicial nominations made by
an outgoing President ought not to be con-
flrmed agreeing with Senator Edmunds
that the politics Of the nominee
had nothing to do with il;
that all the rest Of the democrats
were in favor Of Judge Jackson's cons
hrmation and expected to see it promptly
made. Senator Teller, who is throughly
informed as TO the purposes Of tho anti
Harrison republicans Of the Senate, said
most emphstically they were not opposing
Judge Jackson's confirmation and that he
expected TO see him confirmed. The fact
that President Harrison proposes 20 nom-
mate a republican as the successor OF Judge
jackson does not affect Judge Jackson's
prospects, because IL the senator's do not
want his successor confirmed they
can prevent IL without much difficulty. At
torpey General Miller feels considerably
annoyed that his name should have been
brought into this matter when there was no
possibility of its being considered by the
President, inssrnuch as he Is a resident OF
another circuit.

Peace With the Emperor.

The Ex-Chancellor Anxious to Maks
Peace With the Emperor.
LONDON, Feb. 4.-The prospect Of a
reconciliation between Prince Bismarck
and Emperor William is better than before
in the last two years. Prince Bismarck,
despite many reports TO the contrary, is
failing In health He has lost some fifteen
pounds in weight since last summer, does
not sleep well and is subject TO frequent
fits of depression. A belief that his
days are approaching their end has grown
upon him recently and his feelings toward
the emperor have softeued with the growth
of the belief. To this Is attributed the CON
oiliatory announcement of the HAMBURGER
Ndcbrichts9 that il viii! not attack the
foreign policy Of the government further,
and hat IL has only praise for the emperor's
conduct during the visit OF the ozarowitz.
Prince Bismarcks excuse for the change
is that the government has improved
It's foreign policy, but that
this is merely pretext is shown by the
hitherto unnoiced incident that before
the toast to the car was spoken Prince
Bismarck, in "a Friederichsruhe diuner in
honor of the emperor and himself, proposed
in cordial words the toast to William II.
The old chancellor has made the first ad-
vance and but awaits a response from the
throne

NO MORE saors FIRED.
The vesuvius Remains Quietly at Eer
MooriuG.

Mooripg.
PORT ROYAL, 8. c., Fe5. The Vesuv-
ius remained quietly at her mooring along-
side the naval dock to-day. The members
of the board did not come up the river this
morning, but remained in the lower harbor
marking out a course off the bay
point. All hands aboard tho Vesuvius
were employed In moving the fine
gunpowder charged shells from the lighter
TO the deck OF the vessel and replacing the
wooden filling Of the shells with Portland
cement. The lighter carrying the loaded
shells which was moored a few hundred
yards up the river again drifted loose this
morning. The timely arrival Of Lieut..
Dodd in the Wahneta alone saved her from
being left stranded high and dry on the
shore by the falling tide. Tho lighter was
towed alongside OF tho Vesuvius by the
Wahneta and the gunpowder shells lifted TO
the latter boats deck.
WHAT THE SHELLS LOOK LIKE.
The gunpowder shells are very different
In appearance from the dummy projeotiles
The nose and tail pieces are OF brightly pol
ished brass, the body OF the she'll OF boiler
tube steel. and the whole projectile exhibits
a superior order OF workmanship. The shells
were taken from their boxing and stood on
end to prevent possible accident. The
cylindrical wooden pieces. with which the
shells are filed, were removed and the
space left vacant filed with Portland
cemeut, giving the projectiles weight
similar to those filled with gun cotton.
Everything will be in readiness for expert
ment which will begin again Monday.
Senator Don Cameron OF the senatorial
naval committee came to'Port Royal to-day,
but has not as yet visited the Vesuvius. He
went TO his shooting box at st. Helena-by-
the-Sea, and it is believed that his visit has
no connection with the testing OF the pneu-
matte guns.

A Probability That He VIII Be Driven
From the Premiership.
LONDON, Feb 4.--The Italian bank scam
dals are leading rapidly up TO a cabinet
crisis. The Italian chamber, like the French
chamber recently, has been demanding
cabinet which will devote itself to uncover
ing corruption in high places. and therefore
a cabinet in no wise tainted by scandal.
Sig. Giolitsi, the present PREMIER is up to
his ears In suspicious and rumors.
His hesitancy in refuting stories about him
circulated under his very nose is regarded
as proof that he is too deeply involved
TO court a controversy. The contrast
between his behavior and that Of EXPIRE
miers Crispi and Rudini, who have de-
manded Investigations of similar rumors
ened him. greatly. It is reported
to-day that of 100000 francs
spent by King Humbert recently to redeem
compromising notes given by high poll
ticians to the Bank Of Rome nearly 1500,-
600 francs went to save the present pre-
mier's name. Sig Gioliti is believed to
have supervised the expenditure in the last
elections Of money obtained by assessments
on six banks Of issue in Italy. The money
was spent to elect deputies favorable to the
triple alliance and opposed to the vatican.
When the government found that three
deputies formerly supposed to be safe for
the ministerial coalition were forming a
separate and independent faction, Sig.
Giolitn called them to a conference with
him and Sig Grimaldi, the minister of JUS
tice. Two days later the three deputies
oashed checks for $4,000 francs each drawn
In their favor by the premier, and the inde-
pendent faction was never formed. The
total OF the sums spent by tho banks of Issue
in the last eight years Is said to have ap-
proximated 10000, 900 francs.

BOaorA's RIOT.

Over 100 Killed and Between 500 and
600 Wounded.
PANAMA, Feb. 4.-Private advicss from
Bogota are to the effect that the recent
riot was much more serious than first re-
ported. 1t is stated that 1t was a severe, san
culinary battle between the populace and po-
lice. The mob defeated the police and held
possession Of the city for two days. Then
the national troops were called out and
martial law proclaimed. The soldiers suo-
ceeded in restoring order. The leaders Of
the mob were arrested and executed. Alto
gether about 100 persons were killed and
from 500 to GOO wounded In the conflict.
Rigid censorship of the press dispatches Is
being maintained, so that it is difficult TO
get at the facts.
