county, bordering on the Ohio line
w. j. Glenn was named for door
keeper by Representative Serene
Payne, of Auburn, New York. Rep
resentative Grosvenor will sup
port Captain McElroy, Ohio's can
didate for postmaster.
AS to the nomination of Mr..
Reed, a proposition was favorably
discussed today to have it done by
reclamation and a rising vote, up
on the motion of one Of the Maine
members, disregarding all preced-
ents. No plan, however, was de-
cided on.
1t is said automatically that Mr..
Reed relied on Representative Jas.
B. Sherman, of New York, as
chairman of the house committee
on Indian affairs; Charles A.
Chickering, of the same state, for
committee on rivers and harbors;
John Dalzell, Of Pennsylvania,
committee on judiciary.
1t appears the candidacy OF Rev.
Henry NJ. Cond6n, the blind
preacher, of Port Huron, Michigan,
for the chaplainship of the house,
is believed to be successful. His
blindness was caused while serv-
ing in the army, and was received
in battle, when, as sergeant COM
handing a small detachment near
Austin, Miss, he was fighting the
guerillas. He is Universalist min
lister.

red today at the meeting Of the
municipal council, when M. Bonn
bard, president and also member
of the chamber of deputies, pro-
posed that delegation attend the

public in 1871. Some denounced
him as a coward for insulting the
heroes of the commune. The mo-

ence has been arranged between

THE FOXY SULTAN.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Nov. 30.-The
ministers senta new report TO the
palace relative to the guardship
matter after Wednesdays council.
The first dragoman OF the British
embassy remained at the palace
all night. The sultan sent Said
Pasha on a confidential mission to
the British ambassador long after
midnight. Ambassadors OF six OF
the powers signatory to the Berlin
treaty held a long conference to-
day. Nevertheless, matters have
not been advanced. The tone OF
the diplomats, anent carrying the
guardship point, is appreciably less
confident than 1t was yesterday.
Most people in Constantinople re-
gard the concession demanded as
disproportionately small. The Turk
ish conviction OF the smallness
proves the powers collectively are
not in earnest. Said Pasha fol-
lowed his visit to the British am
bassador by visits to all the other
ambassadors, whom, in behalf OF
the sultan, he tried to dissuade
from persisting in their demands.
Sir Phillip Currie, British ambas-
sador, had a private audience with
the sultan today.
