but il was stated then that his plan would
be to pass other reform bills and when the
lords had rejected them also to appeal to
the country with stronger cause.
According to the dispatch, this course
has been abandoned. There Is great feel
ing in England now regarding the aboli-
ton of the lords. to end or mend them
as the phrase is.

liberals is to fight the house of lords, which
cannot be recOnciled with the theory or

refnarking on the 'intolerable condition 10
which the peers have reduced public affairs.
the News adds: THE Lords are faithful
only to the selfish interests Of their class.
Therefore. their decisions command no re-

ANOTHER SURPRISE.
Tri-weekiy Receptions at the White
House to BE Rcsumed.

The President furnished another surprise
today. when he instructed the ushers at
the White House that he proposed to re-
sumo the tri-weekly afternoon receptions
to the public, beginning with today. These
receptions were inausurated by President
Cleveland during his first term. and were
continued by President Harrison through
out his administration, but for some unex-
planned reason they were discontinued al
together by President Cleveland soon after
his Inauguration for the present term.
Heretofore they were held at one o'clock
in the afternoon of Mondays, Wednesdays
and Saturdays of each week, and they
will be continued on those days from cow
on. They will be held hereafter at lis
O'Clock, however, instead of at one O'Clock.
The change in time is made to suit the
Presidents hour of luncheon. The recep-
tons are held in the east room.
The President was there at l:l5 O'Clock
this afternoon to receive all persons desir-
ing to pay their respects. but the attend
ance was small owing to the bad weather
and the fact that il was not generally
known that the President would receive.

Representative Johnson Says It's Too
Early to Determine u Candidate.
The speech of Representative johnson of
Indiana on the Hawaiian question, in which
he justified the course of President Harri-
sons policy toward Hawaii. has led to the
report that Mr.. Johnson voiced the views
of Mr.. Harrison. But the Indiana Con-
gresham disavows any such Inspiration
ard his friends have learned that he is not
among those who speak for Mr.. Harrison
or who consider 1t settled that the ex-Presi-
dent should again be a candidate for the
presidency.
1T is too early" said Mr.. Johnson, Ito
determine on presidential candidates 1
have always been an earnest supporter of
Mr.. Harrison He Is an able man. But
there are other able men in the party whose
availability will be considered. The presi-
DENTAL candidate must be able to draw to-
ward him the people and the leaders of the
party There Is question as to Mr.. Har-
rison' s ability to do this. for. however eapa-
bic he Is, he lacks those peculiar traits
which attach men to him and solidify all
elements 1t Is rather early. therefore to

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 12.--The charges
pronounced by Lieut, Col Samuel p. NJ.
Young against Col. VIM. NJ. Graham, COM
mander of the forces at Presdio, adjoining

At Preside no one dares talk out but il
is apparent that the sympathy of officers

generally speaking. they are for rude and
Ungentlemanly conduct toward him. What
the outcome will be no one can tell.

may be brought against him. He has an
untarnished record Of thirty years service
and II Is lamentable that he should now be
subjected to humiliation. II this trouble
had been between two captains. II would be
summarily disposed of, but the higher the
official the greater scandal and expense of

IL they are tried, jury Of their superior
officers cannot enforce q sentence. That
power is vested with the President of the
United States. and unless in cases of very
serious character the matter Is never taken
