ORESHAM'S SUCCESSOR.
Said that There May Be Transfer in
the Cabinet.

the Cabinet.
Washington, D. c., May 2S-There has
already been considerable discussion as
to the probable successor of Secretary
Gresham The discussion has been going
on for some days, as even in case of re-
covery it was known the secretary would
not be able to take UP active work again
at the head Of the state department.
First Assistant Secretary Edwin F.
Uhl of Grand Rapids, Mich, stands in the
direct line of succession and his name has
been mentioned III connection with the
office. He has shown an aptitude for the
business of the department and since Sec
rotary Gresham's illness he has had charge
Of many important matters and has dis
posed Of them in a satisfactory manner.
1t is probable, however, the President
will prefer to call to the office man of
wider reputation than Mr.. Uhl, who was
unknown in national and international af-
fairs before he took his present place.
If the place should be filed by a trans
fer in the cabinet it is possible that Post
master-General Wilson might be trans
ferred from the postofice department to
the state department and that First AS
sistant Postmaster-Genera Jones might
be promoted to the head Of that depart
ment or a new man might be put in there.
1t has also been suggested that the Presi-
dent may ask Secretary Whitney to sit
at his right hand or may send for either
Ambassador Bayard or Ambassador Eus-
It's. Don NJ. Dickinson's recent speech
puts him beyond the range of possibilities.

GOV. MORTON FRUSTRATED.
Was Overcome by the Heat in New
York, but Recovered in a
Few Minutes.

New York, May 30.-While Gov. Nor
ton was reviewing the parade of G. A. r.
men at the stand in Madison square today,
abruptly down. The next instant he
lurched forward and fell with his head
against a rough scantling on the review
ing stand.
A w. Cole, his private secretary,
sprang forward and caught the governor S
head and raised it.
Ex-President Harrison was only a mo-
ment behind Mr.. Cole and they, with
the assistance of Mayor Strong, lifted the
governor from his chair and laid him
upon the floor of the reviewing stand.
Then he turned to the mayor and asked
him in a tremulous voice: will you
review the parade, Mr.. Mayor?
Yes, yes" said the mayor.
The governor was then helped down to
his carriage by Gen. Harrison and 9th
ers. The general got into the carriage
with the governor.
John Jacob Astor and two other mem
bers Of the governors staff climbed in
and the carriage was driven to the Fifth
Avenue hotel, where he soon recovered.
A young lady came forward and offered
a silver flask of brandy Gen. Harrison
poured some of the liquor into glass of
water and pressed it to the governors lips,
Gov Morton's face was very white, but
when band came by playing a stirring
march he struggled to get on his feer.
Gen Harrison bent over him and putting
his lips to the governors ear said, NO,
Governor, you must lie still; you have
been overcome with the heat. We have
sent for a carriage and we will take you
away"
The governor was lying behind q board
partition about thirty feet high.
Tear away that partition exclaimed
Gen. Harrison, and in twinkling three
big policemen had torn the partition
down. The governor smiled family and
again struggled to get upon his feet.
He was assisted this time by Mayor
Strong, Mr.. Cole and a member of the
governors staff Il must review the
parade" said the governor.
mo, no." demonstrated Gen. Harrison.
''You are not fit; you must come with
me-"
Il will review the parade" insisted the
governor and he stood straight as an ar
row and looked out towards the avenue.
A mighty cheer went up from 10000
throats and the governor raised his hand
to his hat which had been placed upon
his head. AS he did so he swayed from
side to side and would have fallen had
not strong arms supported him.

Ottawa, Ont, May 30.-A local paper
says a terrible accident has occurred on

The secretary's right lung was af-

RESTRICTION IN BUYING.
July L is the Pivotal Point in the Iron
Market.

Cleveland, O., May 29.-The Iron Trade
Review this week will say:
The last week of May shows more of the
developments that have made it the most i'm
portant month of the year to the iron trade.
Owing to the fact that July 1 is a pivotal
point in the calculations of a good many
producers. there is just now some restriction
upon buying, particularly in pig iron and
steel, but in finished material the pace of
recent weeks has been more than kept up
with further advances in prices. More tar
Oily than the South and the Central West,
the East has made positive advance in pig
iron in the week, the announcement of an
added so cents d ton being made by the
leading Eastern Pennsylvania interests.
Nearly a week previous Virginia furnaces
had withdrawn their low quotations in the
same markets. While q number of heavy
buyers filed up for several months before
the present level was reached on foundry
irons, there are evidences that others have
waited too long and thatftheir requirements
will bring them into the market from time
to time. Bessemer pig, which for nearly two
months has had alternate weeks of active
buying and OF light demand, has managed to
hold each successive advance in the interval
of inactivity. The past week has brought
little business, largely because the require
ments of the larger buyers are filled for
June, and there are no furnaces now willing
to accept 81 in the valley for deliveries
through the second half of the year

AT GRANTS TOMB.
Touching Memorial Address in New
York by Gov. Mckinley
of Ohio.

New York, May Bottle services at
Grants tomb were under the auspices Of
u. S. Grant post, G.. A r., and included
a memorial address by Gov. Mckinley OF
Ohio. Contributing to make this affair
noteworthy, the United States cruiser
Cincinnati was anchored in the river
near by, by order of the secretary OF the
navy, and fired salutes. The statue IN
Battery park of John Ericsson, the de-
signer of the monitor, was adorned with
flowers in honor of the distinguished
services for the Union cause.
Gov. Mckinley said: while the day
is devoted to the dead, it's lessons are in
tended for the living. Standing about
this tomb dedicated to the unconquerabie
Grant. the first soldier in the republic
since Washington, whose name recalls
the most hallowed and heroic memories,
linked as it were with the greatest crisis
in our history, l am sure that we are
made better men and better citizens, and
our great government made stronger ana
more enduring This spectacle, the flags
and songs and flowers, the children OF
the schools, the presence of the war sur
vivOrS, the rising monument must I'LL
us with nobler thoughts and lift us to a
higher and better plane of patriotism and
citizenship"
Continuing, Gov Mckinley said The
true purpose of the day will have been
altogether lost if it fails to inspire in all
our hearts deeper sentiment OF Amerl-
canism and a stronger attachment to
those great ideas for which the soldiers
of the Union gave up their lives. The
patriot is he who living in this country
is willing not only to fight but to die for
it. 1t was this sentiment which gave to
the United States the grand volunteer
army of 1861. 1t is this sentiment which
gives to all governments their strength
and security and permanency. It is this
sentiment which nerves the soldier and
gives his consent to service and a sacrl-
fee, yea, even unto death"

"Uncle Sam" is Sovereign Over
Every Individual! and Every
Foot of Soil.

Washington D. c., May 27.-The
United States Supreme court today denied
the application of Eugene V. Debs, the
strike leader, for writ of habeas corpus.
This is a victory for the government.
No more important question, with the
single exception of the income tax, has
come before the Supreme court during
the past year than the attempt Of Eugene
v. Debs and the other officers of the
American Railway union to secure a re-
versal of the sentences to jail by Judge
Woods for interfering with interstate
commerce and the running of the mails
in the railway strike of last summer.
The history Of the case is still fresh in
the public memory. but it has importance

TWELVE MILES AN HOUR.
This Speed Held Not to be Excessive for
Electric Cars.

Detroit, Mich, May 30.-In suit for
damages brought by the widow of Paul
Gilloz. baker who was killed by an
electric car on the Fort Wayne & Belle
Isle railway July "a, 1893, Judge Carpen-
ter held that twelve miles per hour is
not excessive speed under ordinary cir
cumstances for an electric car, and that
damages caused simply on account Of the
car running at this rate cannot be re-
covered from the company. The court
said if the jury was to hold that simply
because the car was going at rate of
twelve miles per hour the company
would be liable for damages, it would
practically stop the operation of electric
cars. Under certain circumstances this
rate of speed would be held negligent, as
in very crowded thoroughfare, or where
a man was seen on the track and the
motorman knew of it. A verdict was
ordered for the company.
