WASHINGTON, April lo.-Ine posvv1-
flee candidacy of William j. Onahan
shines high in the ascendant to-day
far above it's fellows. Whether it will
stay there Is at present an unanswer-
able question. Not much has been
seen of it Of late. Some people had
totally lost sight of it, but it burst
upon the vision to-day and swept
across the dark political Sky like bril-
liant meteor at night 1t is still in sight,
and so are the others, but they
are DINNER than they were. The
presence Of Archbishop Ireland at the
White House attracted attention to
it. He is Onahan's indorser, Or, at
least, one Of his indorsers, and there
is no de lying the assertion that his in
dorsement is very powerful. He had a
long talk with the PreSid lent and said
what he could-which was a great deal
in favor of Onahan. 1t was not
necessary fOr him to tell the President
who Onahan was. The President knows
him and thinks well of him, and he
didn't hesitate to speak we'll Of him
But he gave no hint Of his preference
among the candida ties. Neither did he
say when he would take up the matter
for thorough and final consideration
He said, however, that he could do
nothing about it JUS at present. Mr..
Onahan has some very Strong indoors
ers besides the arch bishop, and his
claims, which have not been apparently
very actively pressed lately, will be
pushed forward with vigor and lit J.
ligence, but theirs will be no brass
band to indicate it's whereabouts
The President sent the following
nominations to the Senate to-day:
Howson T. Lannan of Delaware, to
be marshal of the United States for the
district of Delaware.
John II. Wise of California, to be
collector of customs for the district of
California.
In the Senate to-day Senator Platt,
having the floor on the subject of the
proposed investigation Of Senator
Roach, of North Dakota notice wa
given by Senator Harris that as
soor as Senator Platt should
have closed his remarks he would
move to take up the resolution for the
appointment of a committee to wait
upon the President and inquire whether
he had any further communication to
make to the Senate. Senator Platt
stated the facts in the Roach case and
argued against the views presented
yesterday by Senators George End

THE DUNIVANT CASE.
A Romantic Suit Comes to Il Sudden
End

End.
Chicago Journal: The dismissal Of
the case of Eugene Dunnivant against
Orrin w. Potter and others, i'm which
ugly charges were made against one
or more prominent citizens, must be
taken, for the present at least, as Il
complete vindicatiOn of the defendants
Dunnivants attorney pleaded for
delay, but the persons accused of con
spiracy against his client insisted upon
q trial, and rs no legal ground for a
continuance was shown the case was
dismissed for want of prosecution. 1t
is probably not too late for Dunnivant
to begin q new action, but it is doubt
full if he will.
Thus ends 81 case which, if it had
been tried, and if the plaintiffs charges
had been established, would undoubted
ly have proved one of the most Sens;l-
tional chapters in the annals of Chica-
go courts, involving, as it did, Il roman
tic attachment, "a prosecuted lover,
and conspiracy against his liberty.
Such charges are easy to make, and
may have gained some credit at one
time, but when the character Of the
plaintiff was shown people very soon
ceased to attach much Importance to
his assertions.
The end Of this case amounts to q
verdict acquitting the defendants, and,
so far as the judgment Of this world
reaches, it believes them from all Inn
putation Of having oppressed the weak.
Hcman judgment is fallacious at the
besS, and may do a wrong to the poor
and )utcast, whose motives are often
hard to fathom, but a verdict is YER
dict, and must be accepted as final by
men.

father aud father were keepers there, her
husband held the position for eleven yenrs,

old building some years ago that 1t was no

they could escape. but they were treated so
well they did not care to. Que prisoner who

Destruction of Field Pests.

A paragraph has been going the rounds Of
the papers concerning the measures adopted
By Professor Loeffier in attacking the mice
plague In Ihessalla. From further accounts
it appears that the process is remarkably
simple one and can be safely followed by
any person OF average intelligence, espe-
cially as the mixture is quite HARM
less to human beings and domestic
animals-such as dogs, cats, fowls,
etc. A pint of water, to which a table,
spoonful OF common salt has been added. is
boiled and allowed to conl. One-third of a
tube of myoktsnine Is then mixed with
two-thirds Of this liquid, well shaken,
poured into q pan and thoroughly stirred.
White bread is then cut into small slices,
and after being thoroughly impregnated
with the mixture, is ready I o be laid about
the runs and holes of the mice and rats.
1t Is said that In less than week the
largest colony of these pests can in this way
be absolutely destroyed. A more direct II
less subtle eXterminator for the Australian
rabbit has been devised IN the shape OF
slowly burning cartridge, which produces
poisonous gas. The cartridge Is placed in
the burrows, the aperatures are closed and
In very few minutes the rabbits are de-
stroyed by the power of the poison in the
smoke.

HE STANDS ALONE.
Gladstone on the Channel
Tunnel.
WILL SPEAK FOR THE BILL.
But He Is the Only English Liberal
Who Has Changed His Views
on the Question.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

LONDON. March 27.-There is no founda.
tion for the report which has been going
about that the Queen intends to visit Ire
land during the summer. The court plans
for the remainder of the year are already
settled. The Queen returns from the con-
tinent to Windsor during the last week In
April, and will then reside at the castle
until Whitsuntlde, when a move is to be
made to Balmoral. The court stays in Scot
land until one week after the Ascot races,
and returning to Windsor for about three
weeks. will remove to Osborne until the end
OF August, when the Queen goes north again
for three months.
Much curiosity is felt as to the attitude OF
the Ministers when Watkins annual chan
mel tunnel bill comes up for second read
ing, and 1t seems to be assumed that the
Government will take the measure under
its wing. But l believe, though Gladstone
will undoubtedly vote hims self and possibly
speak for the bill, it is not to be made a
Government question. Indeed, it Is almost
certain that Campbell Zimmerman will
oppose the second reading. Gladstone is
believed. as matter of fact, to be the only
leading man on the Ministerial side who
has altered his views with respect 20 the
scheme.
