Michigan is Indirectly interested in
the state department at the present
time inasmuch as one of the citizens of
this state stands a very good chance OF
being appointed as the head of this de-
partment. Secretary GreSham's con-
tinued poor health may and probably
will, necesstate his resigning the port
folio of secretary of state, in which case
Don. NJ. Dickinson, of Detroit, will un-
doubtedlv become his successor. Mr..
Dickinson, rs is well known, is a
staunch personal and political friend of
the president, which fact makes his APP
pointmcnt certain. 1t is well known
fact, too, that when Mr.. Dickinson was
member of the cabinet, as postmaster
general. affairs of state interested him
quite as much as the political situation
in Michigan or the affairs of the post
office department, and the settlement
of more than one veXed question is
credited to him. Don. NJ, has, it Is
said, been keeping his weather-eye on
the presidency, but in the dilapidated
condition of his party, he sees the fulfil
ity of any hope in that direction, and
has come to the conclusion that he will
! be satisfied with the honOrs which
would come to him as secretary of state.
| Mr.. Dickinson was in the city few
! days ago, and, as usual, was with the
president good deal at the white
house, and at Woodley. the president
summer home.

Last Monday Justice Field celebrated
the thirty-second anniversary of his
connection with the United States SUI
preme court. He was appointed to the
position March 10, 1868, by President
Lincoln, but did not assume the duties
of his Office until the following May.
At the time of his appointment he was
chief justice Of the supreme court of
California. Counting from the day of
his appointment only three justices
hava been longer on the supreme bench
than Mr.. Field--Justice Marshall
Stoney and Wayne. 1t is Mr.. FIELDS
ambition to extend his term so as to
make It the longest on record, and he
bids fair to accomplish this result, not
withstanding he is now seyenty-ninC
/ years old.

Ex-Speaker Reed, of Maine, has been
here, too, for the past few DAYS, osten.
sbly to call on his sick friend, Repre-
sentative Hit, of Illinois, but really to
look after his own political prospects.
Mr.. Reed has given up the idea of go
ing abroad this summer, and this has
caused much comment here, and has
been interpl eted by some to mean that
the eN-speaker believes that special
session of congress is likely to be called.
The truth of the matter is that Mr..
Reed has been very busy man ever
since the adjournment of congress, and
has done much work in the formation
of committees and in considering mat
ters pertaining to the business of the
next house, and believes that it be-
hooves him to have his guns all primed
and in working order.

Another international complication
has arisen. caused by the killing and
stealing of sheep and cattle near the
Canadian boundary lines. Several
Minnesota farmers have informed the
department that Canadian Indians and
their dogs have stolen and killed large
numbers of both cattle and sheep, and
asking for protection from this govern
ment in this matter.

sons TO call the attention OF Mayor
Taylor to the fact that the city had no
right to Kill the dogs. a favorite puppy
OF the Major had been gathered in by
the catchers, and that gentleman was
greatly exercised over the affair He
said that he had paid his license, and
wanted his dog released, adding that
he had rather have his right arm cut

ton as TO the validity Of the law is
now being considered by the City At
torney.
When Mayor Taylor was approached
upon the subject by Dispatch reporter
yesterday, he said he did not care TO dis
cuss Il at present. The Mayor remarked
that the lounglng around the streets OF

great nuisance, and source OF annoy

proper law in this respect framed If the
