CARLISLE HAS ACCEPTED
This is the Word at Frankfort, and tho
Senatorial Contest is Now On.

Senatorial Contest is Now On.
FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. At is re-
ported on reliable authority that John
q. Carlisle has concluded TO accept the
Secretary Of the Treasury portfolio.
This information comes from a promi
mont politician who is an intimate
friend Of Senator Carlisle. Congressman
been rendered MIR. Carlisle.
1t is believed here that he has ac.
copied, and the contest for tho Senator.
ship has commenced.
WASHINGTON. Jan. Represent ia tive
DickersoD, OF Kentucky, VINO succeeded
MI CARLISLE whom the latter was pro-
NOTED to the Senate, said yesterday that
should MIR. Carlisle accept place In the
next Cabinet, Judge Lindsay, of Frank
fort, would probably be chosen to fill
the vacancy. MIR. Dickerson says that
Judge LINDSAY, who is Virginian by
birth, was Senator Carlisle's most for
mldable competitor in the Senatorial
contest and is immensely popular in the
State. lex Representative j. Proctor
Knott would also be an aspirant for the
honor, and might be successful.
Mr.. Dickerson does not believe that
the Senator can render Is better service
to the Democratic party than by accept
ing the portfolio of the Secretary of the
Treasury. Tho East is fearful" he
said, of tho financial theories OF the
west 1t would be good thing to have
MIR Carlisle as Secretary to practically
demonstrate TO the country thai West
ern man can be as conservative, as able,
and as capable AZ 4 man selected directly
from Wall street. It will be good
objrct lesson for the moneyed men OF
the East, and l should like to see Mr..
Carlisle AZ the head of the Department.
There another way to look at this
matter. l think that MIR. Carlisle should
accept a place in the Cabinet, because
IN that position he becomes more Of o
national character. No matter how
much his ability as Senator is con.
ceded, he is still closely connected with
the State of Kentucky. as Secretary of
the Treasury he deals with national
affairs and is given an opportunity to
step upward, possibly, to the Presidency.
Indeed, think that il Mr.. Carlisle goes
into the Treasury ne will become,
through the daily evidence of his cnpa-
biilty, prominent candidate !or the
Presidency.
81 know that Mr.. Cleveland, who can
not expect q denomination, would rather
aid than hinder such an outcome For
the next four years the Secretary of the
Treasury will be the greatest person in
the Cabinet. England is far more in
terested just now in learning who will
be tho Secretary of the Treasury than
She is who will be Secretary of State
This is equally true OF every other
European country. We have no diplo.
matte question as important as the
silver question or the tariff With MIR.
Carlisle in the Treasury he has an
opportunity to bring his acknowledged
talents to the full view of tho world.
and hope he will look at the matter in
that light"

on the East Side of the City and In
the Most Thickly Populated Districts.
Several Deaths From the Disease-The
Health Board VIII Adopt Extreme
Measures to Wipe Ont the Scourge

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Typhus fever is

victims since December /, whom the
plague first broke out.
There WAS ono death from the disease
at North Brothers Island during tho
night, John Silsky, who had been taken
from "a Bayard street.
IL looks as if the disease has made
great Roadway with the health depart
ment. There was some delay in taking
rigid precautions against the scourge as
lar as the lodging houses are concerned,
and to this may be attributed tho rapid
advance which the disease has been
making. All lodging houses south of
Fourteenth street, and there are ZIG of
them, werc visited last night by health
inspectors. Every one Of the dodgers
wore examined. 1t is intended to pro.
vent the overcrowdiDg OF these places
and to compel proprietors to place no
moro beds in the rooms than their
Licenses allowed.
Inc pest hole, 81 Bayard street, where
the first case was discovered, was found
to have thirty-sevcn beds in excess.
The total number Of dodgers in all tho
lodging houses in the city is $1,000.

BISHOP KEANE's EXPLANATION.
He Throws Some Light on the McGlynn
Case.

WASHINGTON, Jan 4.-Bishop Keane,
being asked this evening as to what he
had to say in regard to tho recent state
ments concerning the suppressed letter
in the McGlynn case, said:
''lt is very singular that tho parties
who have SO carefully reproduced the
old story of 1897 have failed to give also
TO tho public the official statement by
which tho story was at that time dis.
posed of. On September 12, 1887,
statement was given to tho press of tho
country explaining the reasons why DR..
Burtselfs letter was not handed to tho
propaganda Briefly stated, the letter
was directed to Cardinal Gibbons, then
in Rome, and not to the propaganda
Instead of suppressing the contents of
the letter Cardinal Gibbons was very
careful to communicate them to tho
cardinal project OF tho propaganda
Cardinal Gibbons was in no way au-
thorized to act as an intermediary be-
tween McGlynn and his archbishop and,
therefore, scrupulously avoided inter
fering in the matter, in which he had
no direct concern. and his visit to Rome
had In view different purpose

"A Slick Fraud.

WILMINGroN, Jan. A stranger,
representing himself as DR.. w. II. Eli
son, of Washington city, and executor
of the estate Of Mrs. Eliza Wardlaw,
called on Rev. DR.. Nash, pastor of the
Fifth Street Methodist Church, last
Monday and informed him that Mrs.
Ware law had, in her will, left that
church $500 and he wished to draw a
sight draft on DreXell e Company, of
Philadel phia, in favor of DR.. Nash for
that amount, which was done. He
added that the costs in the court when
the will is probated would amount to
S6.l5 in connection with the draft, which
amount DR.. Nash gave him. The
stranger so captivated the pastor by his
pleasant address and oily tongue that
he was invited to supper at the parson
age, where he entertained the family
with stirring incidents of the late war.
1t has just transpired that the seduc-
tive stranger is fraud, and that he has
been playing the same game at other
points. There is no trace of him thus
far.
