Mr.. Clney's Commission Signed.

Washington, June Sat an early hour
this morning the commission of Mr..
Olney as secretary of state was filled
out at the state department and at $3.50
o'clock Acting Secretary Uhl sent 1t
over to the white house, where it was
signed by the president. Shortly after
it was returned to Mr.. Uhl, who coun-
tersigned 1t as acting secretary of state
Mr.. Uhl delivered the commission in
person to Mr.. Olney during his call at
the department Of justice.
No information has been received at
the white house as to the probable date
when Judge Harmon, the new attorney
general, will reach Washington. 1t Is
likely that he will pay his respects 20
the president at Gray Gables, where Mr..
Cleveland will go. Judge Harmon's ac-
"eptance was not received at the white
house until yesterday afternoon after
the cabinet meeting had adjourned and
then the appointment was Immediately
made public. Solicitor General Conrad
is acting attorney general today, Mr..
Olney being engaged in arranging his
private and official papers preparatory
to assuming the duties of his new office,
that of secretary Of state. He will quail
ify next week, probably on Monday. AS
soon as Mr.. Olney reached his office this
morning he received a number of call
ers who came to proffer congratulations
Among them was Acting Secretary
of state Uhl, and these two were clos.
eted for some time discussing state de-
partment matters. Nearly all the am.
~bassadors and ministers of foreign gov.
ernments sent notes of congratulatior
and kilograms poured in from all Over
the country.

THE SITUATION IN MISSOURI
Stone on the Refusal to Call a
Democratic Convention.
The Governor Thinks d Action OF the
State Committed Was Cowardly-
Says the Democratic
Party Won't Split.

st. Louis, Mo-. June 7.-Governor
Stone has arrived here to confer with
friends in regard to the political situa-
ton I'm st. Louis and throughout the
state. In an interview with a repre-
sentative of the United Press as to the
recent action of the state democratic
committee In refusing to call a state
convention, the governor said: Il re-
gard the action of the committee as a
mistake. The people can be trusted,
and II there is even a respectable NIL
nority OF the party who want a conven-
ton they should be accommodated. j
am for free silver as well as free gold.
The majority Of the party in this state
are of the same belief. The refusal to
a a convention is an act OF cowardice
by the minority of h gold people.
However, the great party of Jefferson
has suffered through many tribulations
and still lives as the friend OF the peo-
pie, and no ephemeral division OF opin-
ion like the present one can ever per-
manently divide the party. The slower
the growth of the silver sentiment with
in reason, the surer is its ultimate tri-
umph."
Governor Stone feels confident that
In less than thirty days a convention
will be called to discuss the financial
question.

Libby Prison a Failure.

Chicago, June mo stronger proof
could be afforded of the act that in this
part of the country at least the war Is
regarded as owe than the announce
ment upon the entrances to Libby pris-
M that the site upon which 1t stands is
open for lease. The noted jail was taken
to pieces a few years ago and brought
to this city, where 1t vas re-erected in
a commanding position on Wabash ave-
nue. with entrance gate and massive
stone walls somewhat resembling a fort
ress. The enterprise involved an ex-
penditure Of several hundred thousand
dollars, and it was believed by Its pro-
motors that for all time to come II
would be an attractive resort for vete-
rams Of the Grand Army and visitors to
Chicago from all parts of the world.
These expectations, however, have not
been realized, and ever prominent G.. A.
X. men who themselves had personal
experiences In the old prison have been
among the foremost In criticising this
scheme to ~perpetuate the memories Of

OLNEY SUCCEEDS GRESHAM
The Attorney General Becomes
Secretary of State.
Appoiutment Made Late FRIDAY aiter'
noon-Judge Judson Harmon OF
Cincinnati Succeeds to the
Attorney Gcneralsiip.

Washington, June S.-The president
late Friday afternoon announced the
following cabinet appointments:
For secretary of state, h j.
Olney of Massachusetts.
For attorney general, Judson Harmon
Of Cincinnati, o..
Mr.. Harmon has been for a long time
Judge Of the common pleas court ana
is a man about 50 years of age, one OF
the most conspicuous lawyers IN the
west. Upon the retirement OF ex-GoV-
ernor Hoadley from his Cincinnati hrm,
and his removal to New York, MI
Harmon took his place at the head OF
the firm of Harmon, Colston, COLD
smith q Hoadley, the last named be
ing a son of Ex-Governor Hoadley OF
Ohio.
The announcement or the transfer or
Attorney General Olney to the head OF
the state department created no sur
prise here, as it has been well under
stood for several days that Mr.. Olney
would succeed to the first place In the
cabinet made vacant by the death or
Secretary Gresham. 1t is probable That
Mr.. Olney today will take the oath
as the head Of the state department.
The president at one time contem-
plated other changes in his cabine ana
a rearrangement of several portfolios,
and in this connection consideration was
given TO the transfer Of Secretary
Smith to the department OF justice, but
this and other transfers were finally
abandoned and the president concluded
that the simplest plan would be mere
ly to fill the vacancy caused by Mr..
Olney's promotion.
The appointment of Judge Judson
Harmon Of Cincinnati as attorney gen
eral came in the nature Of a surprise.
His name had not even been canvassad
as among the possibilities. There is the
best authority for the statement that
the president had several men under
consideration, and the portfolio of JUS
ticc might have been a by James {.
Carter of New York, who was counsel
for the government in the Bering sea
tribunal and the income tax cases, had
he been disposed to accept 1t. Secretary
"ariisle knew Judge Harmon personally
ana Doth ADMIRED e"d respected his
ability. 1t was he, probably, who nrst
presented his name TO Mr.. Cleveland.
Ex-Governor Campbell Of Ohio, a close
friend Of Judge Harmon, also warmly
supported him, and the president Sc
cured also from Ex-Governor HOadley
of Ohio, who is now living in New York,
and whose law partner Harmon was,
most favorable replies as to his ability
and standing. After canvassing the
situation thoroughly, the president Of
fered the portfolio Of justice to Judge
Harmon by wire Friday, and inn
mediately upon receiving a favorable
reply, announced the appointments.

M'lAUGHLlN COULDN'T SLEEP
The Disgraced Inspector Passes Ills First
Night In Prison.

New York, June S.-Inspector Nc
Laughlin passed a sleepless night in
cell No. CT in the Toombs prison. From
the time the bars of the cell were closed
against him he sat quietly on his cot or
paced the small confines of his cell I'M
til s o'clock this morning. when he
breakfasted on two rolls and a cup Of
coffee, which he ordered from the prison
restaurant. His keepers said he was
bearing the ordeal remarkably well.
The convicted inspector is confined in a
cell in murderers' row and has for a
companion a man named Considine, who
is charged with murder. The prison Is
o~vercrowded just now and 1t was impos-
sible to give the inspector a cell to him
self. Mclaughlin will have to stay in
his cell until June II at least, when his
counsel will make a motion for a new
trial. If this motion be denied, sentence
will be passed upon him.

WILL NOT HURT MklNlEY
Triumph of Foraker Not Death to
the Ohio Napoleon.
shrewd Political Observers Predict hat
II the Foraker Faction Make War
IL VIII Help Williams
Cause.

New York. June G.--The outcome or
the recent republican state convention
In Ohio has attracted considerable In.
terest on the part OF local and visiting
public men and politicians, and there
has been a great lea OF speculation
regarding the possible effect or the
complete triumph OF Ex-Governor
Foraker upon the presidential prospects
of William Mckinley.
The opinions OF visiting members OF
both political parties from Ohio and
the n~eighboring states have been
eagerly sought. and views and opinions
have been exchanged with as much
earnestness as though the party were
on the eve OF a national convention.
The general consensus OF opinion
seems to be, however, that the outcome
of the convention will not be particu-
larly ~unfavorable, much less democrat.
izing. TO the Napoleon of the protective
tariff and his friends. In fact, many
shrewd and experienced political oh.
servers are free i'm expressing the opin.
ion that if a war upon him and his ele-
ment Of the party Is to be in%augurated
II will perhaps be the best thing that
could happen to him. Stress Is laid
upon Governor McKinley's extraordi
nary popularity as evidenced In the tn.
multuous receptions hat were accord.
ed TO him last fall clear across the cons
tinent from New York To Nebraska.
and as far south as New Orleans, and
the view In generally entertained that II
any attempt to war upon him and force
him into the background is mad by %
faction of his own party In his own
state his popularity outside will thereby
be immeasurably Increased.
A man of national reputation and
who is n close and conservative OBJ
server OF national politics said today az
the Waldorf hotel: The history OF the
last democratic presidential campaign
may repeat itself In the next republi-
can convention. Nobody doubts for @
moment that the antagonism OF Tam
many Hall. then the most important
factor In New York state politics, was
mainly responsible for the nomination
OF Mr.. Cleveland. The more bitter his
denunciation by Dick Croker, and the
more fervid the ~eloquence OF Bourke
Cochran, the stronger becam the senti'
ment i'm favor OF Mr.. Cleveland, n IL,
as has been threatened, a delegation In
