Plenty of Bond Bids.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Although no
news is obtainable of a definite nature
at the treasury department for the new
per cent loan, it is certain that the
number is large and undoubtedly ex-
ceeds the expectation Of the officials.
Some estimates place the number as
1900 to 1900. AS to the amount of the
bids or the rates offered nothing is
known, as the original envelopes in
which they were received still remain
unopened in one of the treasury vaults.

Good Digestion.

A good digestion is as truly obliga-
tory as good conscience pure blood is
as truly part Of manhood as pure
faith; vigorous brain is as necessary
to useful living as vigorous will,
which it often helps to make vigorous,
and we'll ordered skin is the first con-
dition of that cleanliness which is next
to goodness. III. w. Beecher.

Opinion OF Prominent Men Regarding
q y General Hsrrison's Deoiinstion.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. General L. 7.
Kitchener, well known as an old time
friend Of General Harrison, and one
who had much to do with his nomina-
etions, was asked for an expression con-
cerning General Harrison's letter. He
said: IT have no doubt that the
decision Of General Harrison Is
3 finality. Since he left the
White House, he has never had the
slightest desire to return to it.
~ do not know what Indiana will do.
but imagine that all the candidates
win develop strength there, especially
Mr.. Mckinley and Mr.. Allison. The
manufacturing centers will probably be
disposed to support Mr.. Mckinley,
while the other sections should think,
would be very likely to go to Mr.. Alli-
son or Mr.. Morton. It seems to me
that Mr. Allison would naturally have
considerable support from the state. not
only as matter Of gratitude for the
timely and efficient support which
General Harrison received from the
Allison men in the national convention
of 1883, but also because his known
conservative characteristics and views
would make him particularly satisfac-
tory to those friends of General Harri-
son, who were drawn to him because
of his possession of the same qualities.
The Thunderer on Harrison's Letter.
LONDON, Feb. 6-The Times has an
editorial discussing ex-President Harri-
sons retirement from the candidacy
for the presidency and the chances of
other candidates, which says that it
thinks that President Cleveland will
now derive an advantage from fair
and honorable settlement of the Vene-
zuelan affair. The Times also dwells
upon the necessity of the British and
American negotiators obtaining fuller
information regarding the disputed
settled districts.
Hahn Says Mckinley Is q Winner Now.
COLUMBUS, O., Feb. civilian
M. Hahn, secretary of the Republican
national committee, says the declina-
ton of Harrison makes McKinley's
