Senator Harris Opponent.

MEMPHIS, March 16.-It was given
out here today by those in position to
know that Hon. James D. Porter, the
American minister to Chill, has decid.
ed to return to the United States about
the middle of April. Mrs Porter is in
receipt Of cablegram from her hus-
band stating that he will sail from
Valparaiso on April 10.
The return of Minister Porter is ac-
cepted by friends to mean that he has
made up his mind to enter the race as
the administration candidate for the
United States senate against Senator
Harris. The supporters OF the admin.
istration in Tennessee have been cast
ing about for man to oppose Senator
Harris, and strong effort was made
to induce Gov. Turney to become a
candidate, but he declined. They then
settled on Mr.. Porter, and it is said by
his friends that he has consented to
run.
The friends of Mr.. Harris have been
expecting opposition account of the
senator's strong views in favor of the
free coinage of silver and his opposi
ton to the repeal of the Sherman act
last fall.

An Inndel Editor,

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, March 19.-An
attempt was made to blow up the
IroncIad Age, an infdel paper, publish
ed at No. So Indiana avenue. this city,
Saturday night. The Office is located
in large building, the upper floors
of which are rented to families.
Miscreants entered the Office through
the cellar aud after turning on the
natural gas in two stoves lighted q
lamp.
The pipes were removed from the
stoves in order to prevent the gas from
escaping through the fues, and the
doors and windows were carefully clos.
ed and locked. The men even took
the precaution to close a transom
which had been left open about two
inches in order to let in pure air The
persons in the plot then left the build
ing, closing and locking all the doors
behind them.
The expected explosion was prevent
ed, however, by the arrival of the editor
of the paper, who discovered the con-
dition of affairs and opened the doors
and turned out the gas. The paper is
very bold in its denunciation of all
forms of the Christian religion, and it
is believed that the attempt to blow it
up was made because of the bold stand
1t has taken in the matter.
