JUSTICE LAMAR'S SUCCESSOR.
VIII President Harrison Leave tho Va.
cancy for Mr.. Cleveland?

ednCy LOT MT. SleyeiAndy
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-President Har-
rison has OF necessity been considering
the past day or two the matter Of APP
pointing a successor to Justice Lamar. Ii
has been the subject OF numerous sugges-
tons made by his political and Official
friends, but the President has as yet made
no expression OF his intention regarding
the appointment OF a new justice.
His most intimate friends expect thai
he will investigate the subject of the sue
cession as IL the vacancy had occurred I'm
the middle of his term instead of near the
end, and that when he has completed the
investigation, he will send a nomination
TO the Senate.
The probabilities are, il he sends in a
nomination, hat it will be a promotion
from the ranks OF the federal judiciary
within the district over which Judge La
mar presided. The Presidents friends do
not believe he will nominate a Demo-
crat, or leave the vacancy to be filed by
Mr.. Cleveland. President Harrison, it Is
stated, believes that there is no warrant
for an abandonment OF the functions of
his office before his term expires at noon
Of March 4.

THE V QUESTION.
Discussion Before the Committee on Rules
as TO Its Treatment.

"a 10 lts treatment.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2i.-By agreement
between the free silver Democrats and the
anti-silver Democrats there will be a con-
sideration in the House on the 9th and
10th OF February OF the silver question,
with the Andrew Cate banking and Sher-
man bullion purchase repeal bill as the
basis of consideration and OF possible &C
ton.
Yesterday afternoon both sides to the
silver question were called before Messrs.
Crisp, C~atchings and McMlllin, the Dem
ocratic member OF the rules committee.
Messrs. Bacon, Cate and Dickerson were
present for the majority of the banking
committee, Mr.. Fox for the minority and
Messrs. Bland and Pierce for the free
coinage Democrats. All these gentlemen
were asked about the resolution giving a
day for considering the bill and they each
admitted that the same treatment should
be accorded the friends of the repeal of
billion purchases as had been accorded
the free coinage men in the last Congress.
This having been conceded, Feb. 9th and
10th were fixed upon as the days for the
consideration, with the cloture feature OF
the resolution of Mr.. Bacon stricken out.
1t Ia practically certain that when the
rules committed meets today with the Re-
publican members present, the agree
ment of yesterday will be formally car
ried into effect and an order reported to
the House.
In the House Mr.. Bacon and his sup
porters will move to amend the report so
as to have cloture ordered by the House.
This will be resisted by Mr.. Bland and
the free coinage men, aided probably by
a good many others.

A Milk n Lake.

Herr Thoroddsen announces that he has
found "a very long lake" stretching
from the margin of the mighty
glacier which forms the western side of
the Vatna-Jokull, in Iceland. 1t is milk
white, from the glazier water of which it
is composed, and has been named the
Langisjor. The scenery around il is de-
scribed as very beautiful, though the dis
coverer adds that vegetation is quite alb

which terminates the lake in the south
there is an extensive plateau, on which
was seen the glitter of n large water
course, probably the Skapta, and far tc

probably, from the 1888 eruption.

VERY SCIENTIFIC POLO.
Providence Won a Great Game from
Worcester Last Evening.
WAlTHAM DEFEATED BR0CKT0N.
In the Great skating Contest at STAN
ford. Conn, Donahoe, the Newborg
Wonder, Won, and Was Cheersd by
Thousands of spectators-other Notes.

The twelve hundred polo enthusiast
who saw the game last evening between
the Providence and Worcester team
were OF the opinion that it ranked second
to none in scientific points and in inter
est from start TO finish. The Worcester
team has beaten the home team a good
many times In Infantry hall this season
and the boys were evidently determined
that II should not happen this time.
They appeared in new uniforms and this
also seemed TO give them new dash. The
uniform is IA handsome gray unlike any
in the league aud the difficulty OF dis
tinpuishing the men OF The Providence
team from the visitors Will hereafter be
obgiated.
The home team started i'm with a rush
which was too much for the Worcesters
10 withstand during the first half and it
seemed as il the ball went into the
Worcester goal all by itself. The first goal
was secured by Newcomb aud then after
seven minutes OF hard play it was Gagged
by CanavHu for Worcester.
With the score "A tie Providence started
in and made four goais in a little more
than five minutes. Here was witnessed
some of the fastest laying ever seen on
the floor and the Woic ster did team not
seem to be in il. LatiOns defended his
ca q well but he couiu not stop all The

Il TIE second half the no ne team Sc
cured one goal, and then the tide changed
and Worcester 5 emed u have all the
luck. Mccarthy could not seem to see
the LONG drives. and several which seemed
very easy to stop were allowed TO plss
him aud lodge in the cage The score
was thus brought up TO within one of a
tie, aud the spectators held their breath,
wondering If the usual luck was to
wrest the game from Providence. The
eleven minutes at the last of the game
showed no goals for either side. but wit
ness d some of the most terrific playing
ever seen on "A surface. Once the ball
was in Worcester's cage. but Lations
c~leverly pulled it out with his stick be-
fore the referee could see it. The ball
WAS kept near the Worcester cage nearly
all q time, and Latlons was busy.
When at length there remained only
about five minutes to pay the Providence
team gave rs cl yer AN exhibition OF play
ing for time as is often seen. Conway and
Legion juggling the ball successfully
while waiting % the bell.
The work of Legion, Newcomb, Con
Roberts and Whiting was Of the fiuesI
order. and the passing of the whole
Providence tea was what won the
game. Worcester vas outplayed, aud
though the scorJ a very closs, an ele-

that bride and groom had entered

in rather an odd way-by telegraphic
