The fact that General Harrison had
an important statement to make drew a
large crowd of politicians and others to
the corridors of the Fifth Avenue Hotel
in New York, one evening last week.
Many of the politicians expected that
General Harrison would make declara-
ton as to his candidacy for President
and were disappointed when they heard
that the General talked of matrimonial
affairs instead Of politics. At the ap-
pointed time Mr.. Tibbitts. the Generals
Private Secretary, made the following
statement in his room, where he received
the members of the press:
General Harrison authorizes the an
nouncement that he and Mrs. Dimmick
are engaged to be married, and that the
marriage will not take place until after
Lent"
When the Secretary finished reading
the announcement he refused to say
anything further. Mrs. Dimmick. to
whom the General is engaged, is better
known in Indianapolis and Washington
than in New York. During the life of
Mrs. Harrison. who was her aunt. Mrs.
Dimmick partially governed Mr.. Harri-
sons household in Indianapolis. and d.
rected the household affairs of the White
House during the period Of Mrs. Harri-
sons illness, and or to her death.
That Mrs. Dimmick was favorite with
the then President in Washington is
without doubt.

IT is not improbable that the Venezu-
elan commission may find itself without
employment before it has gone very far
into the mysteries of the Schomburgk
line or the numerous other mysteries
which it was expecting to consider in
the Venezuelan question. 1t is learned,
says Washington dispatch, that advices
have been received by the State Depart
ment which lead it to believe that the
matter is likely to be reopened by Great
Britain and Venezuela and that there is
a disposition on the part of England to
try to adjust the question without seri-
GUS delay. Just what the details Of
these advices are cannot be learned, but
it is known that those who are in the
confidence of the administration are
hopeful that the matter may be salts
factorily adjusted.

Owing to Justice Brewers engage
ment on the Supreme Bench, the Venez-
uelan boundary commission has not
been able to make much progress since
its adjournment. Arrangements have
been made, however, for meeting in
temporary quarters in the Sun building.
One of the matters expected to be set
tied at this meeting is the election of a
Secretary. Severe Mallet Provost. of
New York will probably be selected. He
stands we'll at the New York bar and has
an international practice. He is a fine,
linguist and especially familiar with the
Spanish language.

TREASURY officials continue to express
the belief that the success of the bond
sale is already assured. 1t is now in their
opinion only a question as to the am
cunt of premium that will be offered
upon the bonds. And it seems probable
from what can be gathered that the
premium offered will be considerably in
excess of the rates which Mr.. Morgan
proposed as the basis for the operation
of this syndicate. Every effort is being
made by the Treasury Department to
popularize the loan. The latest one is
the circular from the Comptroller of the
Currency to national banks, urging
them to call the matter to the attention
of their customers, and offer them such
facilities as are practicable for making
subscriptions to the loan itself. There
seems likelihood of pretty cordial CO.
operation on the part of the bankers.
The Brooklyn Times warns the Legis-
lature of New York that if they vote for
Greater New York they will hear from
Greater Brooklyn" The Brooklyn Ea
gle is equally outspoken. 1t demands
resubmission of the entire question and
says: THE fight is only yet on the Skin
mish line. To refuse resubmission or
referendum is to confess that Brooklyn
is against consolidation. Those who re-
fuse it or who support the refusal of it
line themselves up on the side Of COM
pulsory effacement. The Legislature
and Governor together that dare to do
that have not been elected. They have
never yet been born. They will not be
born or come of voting age until after
the present constitution and the present
courts have been compulsorily effaced.
Their compulsory placement must pre-
cede any constitutionally possible COM
pulsory placement to this city and
county"

FUSION IN GEORGIA.
Proposition az tn Electors from
Popuiists to Democrats.

ATLANTA, GA, October 1.-THE Popu-
list Executive Committee of the State
met here to-day to discuss fusion. To-
night resolutions were adopted taking
down seven electors and calling ON the
Democrats TO take down six Of theirs.
This would permit OF a fusion In which
the Democrats would have seven and the
Populists six electors, all OF whom the
Populists want pledged TO vote for Bryan
and Watson The resolutions declare 1t
should be the pleasure and pride OF every
Georgian to advance Mr.. Watsons In
terests--"a man who Is without stain,
above reproach, and whom all fair minded
men esteem, respect, and honor. and
whose every action in this campaign has
been so patriotic and manly as to chal-
lenge the admiration of American man
hood"
Notwithstanding this. the Populists an
nounce that II is their belief that the
Democratic leaders Of Georgia 'intend 10
defeat and humilate Mr.. Watson, II pos
sible. either by a corrupt ballot or by
partisan Legislature setting aside the VIII
of the people
The Democrats are given five days i'm
which to accept this proposition, with the
alternative that If Il Is rejected the
Populist Central Committee shall have the
authority TO either reinstate the seven
electors who are withdrawn or take down
the remaining six. which would leave the
PopuIists free TO vote as they might
please.
Chairman Clay. of the State Democratic
Committee, has issued a call for a meet
ing of the Executive Committee on next
Tuesday. Sentiment is divided on the
question OF fusion in Georgia.
The electors withdrawn by the Popu-
lists are: William II. FELTON,, at large;
II. c. Newton, Second District; Thomas
f. Davis, Fourth; w. 5. Whitaker
Sixth: ]. j. Green, Eighth: William Lans-

NORTH CAROLINA RADICALIsN.
Praise of Cleveland for Destroying
the Democratic Party.

CHARLOTTE, n. c.. october l5.-Ex-
Judge d. l.. Russell, Republican candidate
for Governor Of this State. spoke here
to-day to an audience OF about 2,oOo. near
.ly all of whom were negroes. He devoted
his speech mostly to State matters, and.
I'm advocating cooperation with the Popu-
lists saying that the Republicans owed
their political liberty 70 the help OF the
Popullsts. He praised President Cleveland
for destroying the Democratic party and
ridicued the present Democratic plat
form. He declared that North Carolina
Is the only State In the South having
good and honest election law. for which
he thanked the late fusion Legislature,
and predicted its return TO the capital.
This honest-electlon law. he said, would
bring many northern capitalists TO the
State.
Regarding the tariff, he said that the
South was freezing to-day. because Of the
low tariff. while the Yankee IS protected.
When Judge Russell had concluded.
Marshall G. Mott, Of Wilkes county, made
a characteristic Republican partisan
speech. and strongly advocated the inter-
national bmetallic plank of the Republi-
can platfOrm.

popULIsTs DECLINE FUSION.
North Carolina Democratic Proposi-
ton Finally Rejected.

RALEIGH, n. c., october l5.-The Pop
ulist state Committee was in session all
night and until 1870 to-day. 1t discussed
the Democratic Committees proposition
for State, congressional. and legislative
fusion, and rejected It by vote Of ls to 2.
The cause Of the long session was the
argument of two committeeman against
stopping all further negotiations with the
Democrats.
Populist Chairman Aver this afternoon
wrote Democratic Chairman Manly a LETT
ter, in which he says he is instructed
by his committee to say that the Demo
cratic proposition is declined. first be-
cause the Democrats. August lst, de-
clined Senator Buffers proposition for
complete fusion; second. because it Is now
too late to make fusion a success-that
IS, TO secure the hearty and loyal sup
port OF both parties necessary TO make
il successful; third, because IL is not
possible tn make a proposition accepta-
bic TO the Democratic Committee which
would be sustained by the fun strength
Of both parties. The committee, i'm con-
clusion. suggests that the only way for
the Democrats to defeat the Republican
nominee for Governor is to withdraw
the Democratic nominee and concentrate
the Democrats Oh the Populist nominee.

bana, which reached Quarantine last eve
ming. This morning the brothers stated
they were not yet ready to make state
ment for publication. They were glad
to get away from Cuba with their lives.
although financially ruined. their fine
plantation and property at Sagua having
been entirely destroyed Both men had
been in prison for thirty-nine days. but.
through the efforts Of the United States
Consul at Sagua and other influential
friends they were finally liberated. No
cause was given by the Spanish ahthori-
ties for their arrest, their only crime
being the fact that they were Amerl-
can citizens, which. in Spanish eyes..was
sufficient evidence that they were hostile
to Spain.
Both men are warm I'm their praise OF
the United States Consul at Sagua, and
also OF General Lee. the United States
Consul-GeneraI at Habana, who were un-
firing In their efforts TO regain for them
their freedom. The Clean brothers will
