The decision of the U. :. Supreme
Court in the case involving the boun-
dairy line between this State and Ten
messee, which was argued before that
tribunal yesterday. is looked forward to
with interest by Virginia officials. A
decision in favor of this State would
mean considerable increase of popu-
lation and the acquisition of some valu-
able taxable properties. The possible
accession of several thousand new
voters might be considerable political
significance in future campaigns in this
State. 4 decision i'll the case is not ex-
pected until next fall.
Mr.. C. II. Pierson, the chairman of
the populist State committee, says the
attitude of the democrats in the Senate
in not inviting the populists to the eau
Gus will, in his opinion, tend TO simpli-
iy ISSUES in future contests. Their par

office to be filled this year MIR. Cicre-

opposition to unlimited coinage Of sill

some little strength in the approaching

AN error shared by, have not the

gilt wheels, and from the platform rose
groups Of cherubs seven feet high, the
structure ending by huge oval shield.
The whole car was mass of frosted
and FURNISHED gold, just slightly yelled
by draperies of transparent purple
Grape, powdered with the golden impe-
rial bees. 1t was this transparent veil,
and perhaps the mistiness of the MORN

ground, and as the car slowly progress

HERE'S THE neutrality-suspicious.
Springer, of Illinois, who was one of
the Presidents callers yesterday, asked
him if the rule of not appointing men
who had held Office under him four
years ago was to prevail, as reported.
The President replied in the atfirma-
tive, and when asked if the rule was
inhexible Mr.. Cleveland responded that
it would be substantially SO. There
might be exceptional and extraordina-
ry circumstances which might cause
departure from it, but he could not call
to mind many possibilities to justify a
change from the policy decided upon.
Mr.. Springer asked if the rule was also
to apply to fourth-class postoiiices. Mr..
Cleveland's response was that he had
not thought about that, but he gave
the decided impression that it would
prevail to as great an extent rs posi-
BILE with these small places. Repre-
sentative Springer said that President
Cleveland has expressed his intention
of recognizing for office democrats who
during the former administration were
not recognized. In other words, Pres
ident Cleveland believes that there are
lot of good democrats who never have
received places. President Cleveland
has made the same statement to sevcra!
representatives who have called upon
him and urged the appointment Of some
democratic ex-oflice holder.

Confession of u Murderer.

OAK HILL, Fla, Mar. 10.-One year
ago last December the entire South was
shocked to learn that Mrs Packwood,
formerly Miss Bruce, of New York, with
her sister, Mrs. Hatch, and the latter's
two children had been butchered at
Hewitts. The bodies of the women
were riddled with bullets and the
throats of all but Mrs. Hatch were cut.
Jewelry, silverware and other articles
ofvalue and sum of money were un-
disturbed. 1t was proved that one OF
the women had been assaulted. A man
named Marion Clinton has now con-
fessed that Will. McRae and cOlored
man named Jenkins murdered the peo-
pie while he kept watch.

The Washington correspondent of
the Richmond Dispatch says: "a move
ment was started more than two
months ago by the leading officers Of
the National Guard in all parts of the
South as well as in many other sections
in behalf of Colonel Granville Gaines,
of Warrenton, for Assistant Secretary
of War, and he received some of the
handsomest endorsements ever given
to any man. Generals, colonies, and
staff officers all over the country, but
particularly in the South, endorsed
Colonel Gaines, and his papers have
been presented by Congressman Mere
dith. Colonel Gaines was also en-
dorsed by the Virginia senators and rep
resentatives and any number of State
officials. Colonel Lamont, however,
very frankly told Mr.. Meredith that the
selection of Assistant Secretary had
practically been made, though he did
not state who the lucky man would be.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE NEW \ DIRK
SENAToRs.-The New York .Sua says !:
"There is no truth whatever in
the report so widely published yes
yesterday that during the brief call OF
Senator Murphy and Richard Croker
upon the President on Wednesday an
agreement was reached by which the
federal patronage is to be divided
equally between Tammany and the
anti-snappers, leaving nothing what
ever to the friends of the New York
Senators. Senator Murphy said yes
terday that the visit which he and Mr..
Croker paid TO the President on We'd
nesday lasted just one minute, and that
not one word was said on the subject
of politics.
1t can be said with positiveness that
Senators Hill and Murphy will not
thrust themselves upon President
Cleveland by asking him for federal
patronage in New York State, because
they feel that there is no reason why
they should do so. If, however, the
President wishes TO consult them about
making appointments, he will find
them willing to offer their advice, and
the question of whether or not the
Senators are to antagonize the Presi-
dent will depend somewhat upon his
treatment of their suggestions and re-
concentrations. In other words the SEN
ators will not seek to bring on fight
about the disposition Of offices, for
which they profess to care little, but
should the President feel disposed to
ignore them altogether they may feel
inclined to insist upon their rights as
Senators.

right so far as relates to his foreign
policy. As stated in yesterday ;

from the files of the Senate, so that,
barring his delay in ordering Minister
Stevens to lower the T. S. flag he raised
over the government house at Homo
lulu. to send the U. S. marines there
back to their ships, and to return to this
country at once for punishment, the re-
lations between the United States and
Hawaii are as they were before the

SENATOR HILLS INTERVIEWING
New York Sua says in reference to the
interview Yesterday between Senator
Hill and the President
"Nothing can be learned as to what
took place at this important confer
ence, beyond the fact that the Senator
reception was outwardly cordial, and
that he and the President talked freely
and frankly about both personal and
political affairs. Senator Hill declines
absolutely to be interviewed about
what passed between him aud the Pres
ident and says that any alleged reports
of the conversation must of necessity
be mere guess work. Senator Hill has
a habit of refusing to take the public
into his confidence, even in the most
unimportant affairs connected with his
public duties. He refuses persistently
to talk about his movements and his
plans except when it suits him to do so,
and it does not suit him to talk about
what took place between him and the
President yesterday"
