SAYS he CANNOT ACCEPT.

The Chattanooga .'Times" Doesn't Like
the ON nous Look Of Jackson's Appoiut-
ment.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, February d
The Chattanooga Times this morning
saws:
But can Judge Jackson afford to ac-
cept this appointment in the present
situation? AS advised at the time OF
this writing we say, as Judge JacksOn's
friends, most emphatically: No.
That petitions have been circulated
for the past few days since Justice La
mars death asking Judge Jackson's ap-
pointment, by Republicans, cannot
oe denied. This. with other
well grounded rumors in this
connection, justifes the belief
freely expressed that Judge Jackson's
appointment is not made on its merits.
Two reasons are assigned. First, that
the President wants to make Il place for
his law partner and Attorney General
Miller, who would be made judge Of q
circuit which takes in the field Of the
Presidents law practice. Second, TO
get Judge Jackson out of the way, so
that partisan use can be made of the
election machinery and so that Repub-
licans can be placed in all Offices within
the appointing power OF the Circuit
Judge.

WEATHER NEWS FROM EVERYWHERE.

ToPEKA, KAs., February 9.-The full eff
fects OF the recent cold wave In this county
were not known until this morning. James
Mitchell, wife and one child were found In
their home, a dilapidated frame house,
seven miles north Of this city, frozen 10
death. Neighbors had passed the house
Yesterday and answering no signs or life
assumed that the family had gone from
home. This morning a neighbor, noticing
that Mitchells cattle had not been fed,
went 70 the house, when he was shocked at
finding the three bodies dead and frozen
stiff, with but thin quilt over them-all
the covering there was in the house.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February 3.-At =
meeting of the Senate Judiciary Commit.
tee to-day there was some opposition 10 the
nomination OF Judge jackson TO succeed
Justice Lamar, and the nomination went
over under the rules. As far as can be
learned the opposition does not toucn
Judge Jackson's character or fitness, or
even his Democracy, but is based on an OBJ
lection founded on principle, the Demo-
crats having taken the position that il was
not proper for an outgoing President to ill
life places of such Importance. There is
no question that Senators on both sides Of
the chamber are deeply concerned by the
probability Of the nomination OF Repub-
lican Circuit Judge TO succeed Judge Jack
son, the Democrats being determined in
advance TO resist the installation Of a Re
publican on Southern circuit and the Re
publicans fearing that they will have a
hard struggle TO confirm such nomina-
tion at this late stage in the session.

THE CITY OF PEKING.
The Big Pacific Liner is Now More
Than Ten Days Overdue.
GREAT ALARM IN SAN FRANCISCO.
The Vessel Left Yokohama With
Her Machinery in Splendid
Condition - Her Engines and
Boilers Completely Overhauled
Last Summer by the Union
Iron Works, Of San Francisco.

SAN Francisco, February 3.-The
steamship City of Peking is still on the
missing list. She is now "a days out
from Yokohama, and should have ar
rived here over ten days ago. The Of
ticials Of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company and the UsIon Iron Works
have made statement 10 the Associ-
ated Press In regard 10 the ma
chinery Of the steamer. They
refer TO the reports which
have been published Of the
effect that on the last two voyages OF
the Peking trouble was experienced by
heating and melting Of the rings in the
thrust block, and that on her last west
ward trip she had her rings repaired at
Yokohama and patched with babbit
metal TO prevent heating. Alexander
Center, the general agent OF the Pacific
Mail Company at this port, makes the
follOwine statement:
"The steamer City OF Peking was laid
up from the middle OF July 10 the l7th
o. September last undergoing q most
conplete and thorough overhauling OF
the hull, the boilers and machinery
at tho Union Iron works OF this city.
and on Aer departure for Japan and
China September last, she was In a
thorough ahd complete state OF repair.
Included in the repairs made was n new
thrust shaft aud a new set OF thrust
rings. The engiOes on her trip TO China
and return worked most satisfacto-
rily, but through the carelessness OF an
oiler, after leaving Yokohama, who al
lowed the thrust rings TO heat, II was
determined on her arrival ~ San Fran
cisco, 10 remove those rings and replace
them with an entire new set. This was
done and the vessel left for Japan No
vember Goth last. The latest authentic
reports received from the City OF
Peking were dated Yokohama, January
10th. the date on which she left -
port for san Francisco. These reports
from her engineers state that from the
time OF leaving San Francisco up 10
that moment her machinery In all parts
had been working In thoroughly sat
isfactory manner"
Henry Il. Scott, the President OF the
Union iron works, makes a statement In
confirmation OF the Pacific Mail agent.
He says:
when the PekInR went 10 sea about
the middle OF last September she was In
thorough and complete condition.
O"The thrust rings, that heated on her
return voyage, were made OF government
bronze, and OF such material as Is now
in use In the Charleston, San Francis
co and ell government vessels OF
the highest class; and In our opinion
II was not necessary TO renew them,
from tho slight heating experience on
her first voyage, but the Pacific Mail
Company insisted upon them being re-
newed, which was done, and we consid-
cred that the Peking left here on
26, last, left with all her ma
In proper and complete work
ing order"
The Pacific Nail officials express tho
belief that the Peking has put into
and that tho first reports %
her will be received when the next
steamer arrivee from that port on Feb
ruory 8.

Il Owns the Franchise Of the Two Great Press Associations
NEARLY Two-THIRDs
OF the Members of the House Show Their
Favor for the Apti-OptIon Bill.

WASHINGTON, d. c., February g.
The friends OF the anti-Option bill OBJ
tanned victory in the House to-day.
Although the Speaker decided against
them and ruled that the House could
not at present non-concur in the Senate
amendments, and thus throw the bill
into conference when report would
become privileged), the House, not
withstandins the determined fight OF
the members Of the Ways and Means
Committee and Of the other opponents
Of the bill, referred it TO the Committee
on Agriculture, which is favorable to
its passage. And it did so by a large
majority-not quite two-thirds, but ap-
proximating to il so closely that IL is
still debatable question whether II
two-thirds vote is required it could
not be obtained.
the anti-Option bill should be referred
TO 8 standing or select committee. He,
therefore, sustained the point OF order
against Mr. Hatch's motion to non-con-
cur in the Senate amendments, and TO
agree TO a conference.
Mr.. Hatch did not appeal, but moved
to refer the bill to the Committee on
AgriculpGre, and on that motion de-
manded the previous question.
Mr.. Boatner made a point Of order
that the bill did rot belong to the Com
mittee on Agriculture, but to the Com
mittee on Ways and Means.
The Speaker suggested hat IL was In
the power OF the House to, refer TO
whatever committee it wished. \
Mr.. Kilgore made the further Npoint
that the bill, having been originally re-
ported by the Committee on AgricGl-
ture, that was its natural reference
now, and the Chair had not the right TO
entertain a motion to refer 10 that COM
mittee. II motion TO refer was made
1t should be made TO refer to some other
committee.
Mr.. Boatner argued in support OF
his point of order. The Speaker
overruled the points OF order and held
Mr. Hatch's motion TO he proper one.
The question was then on Mr.. Hatch's
demand for the previous question. On
a division the vote stood 10 To 65, and
Mr.. Cummings voice furiously demand
ed the yeas and nays, which were or
dered. The previous question was or
dered-yeas l51, nays Sand the bill
was referred TO the Committee on Agri-
culture without division,
The Speaker then laid before the
House the Presidents message relative
10 the bond transit over Canadian roads.
Referred.
The deficiency appropriation bill was
passed and the Indian appropriation |
bill was reported.
The House then paid tribute 10 the |
memory Of the late Representative
Craig, Of Pennsylvania, and adjourned.

WHY He DID Il
President Harrison Forced to name Judge
jackson by Republican Senator's.

WASHINGTON, d. c., February a.
There are many inquiries as u the rea-
sons which led President HARRISON to
appoint a Democrat to succsedlthe late
Justice Lamar on the Supreme Bench
The statement comes very direct that
he was led to do this because Of Repub-
lican opposition to his making any nom
ination and the respons bilitY Tor the
failure to nominate a Republican IS said
to lie upon ten or twelve republicans in
the Senate who were deterniuei 10 oD-
pose any confirmation poposed by
the President. 1t was a first his
intention tonominate eitherIudge En-
ory Speer or Judge PardOa On max
ing inquiries among the Republican
Senators as TO which would b most apt
TO secure a ready contirmathn, he dis
covered that there were abht twelve
Republican Senators who wol oppose
any confirmation, partly on aEOunt Of
their personal antagonism to g. PreSl-
dent and partly on account OF heir de-
sire to bring other matters to u front
in the Senate. AT first, on dist syering
this, Mr.. Harrison decided lat he
would not send in any nominat9. he
held 10 this purpose until thk2fter-
noon OF yesterday, when he bcame
convinced that a Democrat mig t be
confirmed with the aid of Dem1ratic
Senators. lie then decided to sal in
the nomination of Judge Jaceson, Nom
he believed could be confirmed and
whose confirmation would leave asRry
important Circuit Court iudgeshil to
be filled.
The Republican Senators whof,p-
posed his making the appointments Rll
probably try to prevent confrmatlC.,
and there appears to be a strong pros
bility that they may succeed unIea
advantage being taken of the cie
tom OF Senatorial courtesy" whisl
discountenanceS delay in action 6
the nomination Of an ex-senator the
matter is forced to the front with great
promptness. If confirmation is secured
promptly II is expected that the Presi-
dent will nominate Judge w. 0. Brad
ley, of Kentucky, who is one OF the
prominent leaders OF the Southern Re-
publicans, and was very prominently
spoken of at Minneapolis for the nomi-
nation for the Vice Presidency, to sue
ceed Judge Jackson on the Circuit
bench.
