his highest court official, Prince NOn HO-

ing invitation Tor the prince regent 70 be
present at the Berlin celebrations. but the
prince returned a courteous refusal to
alter his plans Similar refusals We're re-

be utterly without foundation. None Of
the powers concerned, according TO this
authority has suggested the slightest

CARLISLE FOR PRESIDENT.
The Secretary Believed TO he the Adj
mfnistration Candidate.

Cincinnati. Jan. ls.-The Tribune will
tomorrow say; There now seems to be
no question that John C. Carlise is an
avOwed candidate for the romination for
President, and in some quarters it is be-
ieved that he has been selected to perpet-
uate the Cleveland dynasty.
In Washington, last week, it was def
initely ascertained that Mr.. Cleveland was
not a candidate and would not accept a
fourth nomination, even it was rendered
him. A gentleman who is known TO be
quite close to the President, said 10 a Tri-
bune reporter in the Arlington hotel last
Thursday that Mr.. Cleveland did not be-
heve in third terms and felt that the
country's safety depended on frequent ro-
tatiOn in office
1t was a very noticeable fact during
the three days that the local committee
was in Washington trying TO get the ma
uonal convention that many OF the dele
gates did not care TO exhibit a preference
until they had consulted the Secretary OF
the Treasury. His wish was theirs, and
at least nve votes came TO Cincinnati by
reason of fealty to Secretary Carlisle.
Gov. Caleb West Of Utah made no con-
cealment Of his position and he plainly
said that he was for Secretary Carlisle for
president and would vote for the city that
Secretary Carlisle wanted"

The People of the Country Prosper
Gus and PeaceabIe.

New York, Jan. &c. Marxen-Eraso,
who arrived in New York Saturday by the
steamer Philadelphia from Venezuela,
where he represents the large commercial
interests of Flint, Eddy & Co., was inter-
viewed to-day.
Mr.. Marxen- -Eraso stated that the re-
ports published in the newspapers here as
to the warlke spirit and excitement in
Venezuela were grossly exaggerated.
He had been travelling for the last two
months over large portion Of Venezuela,
from Ciudad Bolivar. to the capital, and
he was impressed everywhere with the abb
sence of anything like bravado and the
feeling prevailing among Venezuelans
that the pending question would ultimately
be settled without war
Nobody in Venezuela seems to believe in
war, and there is no inclination on the part
Of the authorities or on the part OF the
people to precipitate an issue.
The country is prosperous and business
is progressing in its usual channels with
out any disturbance. The people of Ven
ezeula are entirely satisfied with the pros
poets of arbitration and both in official
and unofficial circles there Is a determin-
alton to abide by 1t, whether contrary or
favorable to Venezuela, but they are at
the same time determined that they shall
not be despoiled by force without hear

A FIGHT TO SAVE HOLMES.
The Claim Made That He Was Not on
Hand at the Murders.

VI hhE MuEutEHs
Chicago. Jan. ia special from In
dianapolis says: Interest I'm the celebra-
ted case of II. II. Holmes has been reviv-
ed by the employment Of II. M. Bullock

that Holmes is by no means as black as
he has been painted. Mr.. Bullock claims
that ne has traced Holmes through Chi
cago, New York, Philadelphia and other
cities and will be able to show all the
facts in connection with the castle at Chi
cago and with the mysterious Hatch who
is said to have figured with Holmes in
various murders.
The evidence thus collected SAYS Mr.
Bullock, will demonstrate beyond a doubt
that Holmes was not present at the times
and places where the murders for which
he is about to suffer were committed. He
says the revelations will be in the nature
of a sensation, for they will show that
the newspapers and not Holmes have
Killed the victims attributed to him. The
records of postoffices, railroad ticket Of

sAvANxAH's sUB-TREAsURY.
The whole south should BACK Up
the Movement.


Washington, Jan. 9.-Representative
Lester and all the members Of the Geor-
gia delegation are looking forward with
special interest to the visitation to-mor-
row of Mayor Myers and his associates
from Savannah, who are to appear before
the committee on ways and means to urge
the establishment Of a sub-treasury at
Savannah. Not only are the Georgia MEM
bers in favor of the proposition, but all
of the southern and southwestern men,
bers are equally friendly to Savannah in
this matter. They realize that the COM
mercia1 Importance of Savannah fully
justffies the establishment of a sub-treas-
ury there. Besides, they contend that it
would be of mutual benefit to all the
states between Maryland and Louisiana.
The business men of Savannah have
started out in the right way and they
should not relinquish their efforts for one
moment until they have accomplished the
object in view The Morning News cor
respondent has talked the matter over
with a number of senators and represen-
tatives, and all of the practical men adj
wise the necessity of such an establish
ment in Savannah, or one of the other
larging new south. The growth of busi-
ness in Savannah and the enterprise dis
played by her citizens is fully appreciated
by congressman generally.
The hearing before the committee on
ways and means tomorrow is but one of
the preliminary steps in the project, and
from this time forward until the question
is finally determined the commercial
bodies in every one of the southern cities
should strengthen the hands of their rep
resentatives in congress by letting them
understand that the establishment of a
sub-treasury at Savannah win be a gem
eral recognition that business prosperity is
indeed returning to the south. There
should be no feeling of jealousy on the
part of sister cities in North and South
Carolina or Georgia, Tennessee or. Ala
bama, but they should all combine to let
the committee on ways and means under
stand that there is a united appeal for a
sub treasury at Savannah.

Colon, Jan. 19.-It is reported here that
the Mosquito Indians, including Chief An
drew Hendy, will invite Chief Clarence to
return to the Mosquito territory.
Chief Clarence was deposed by the Mica
raguans in 1894, and subsequently went to
Jamaica, where it was said he was in re-
ceipt of pension from the British gov
ernment. Great Britain refused to recog-
nize the new Nicarauguan government
that was set up at Bluefields after the de-
position of Chief Clarence, and out of this
grew the troubles that resulted in Great
Britain sending a squadron to Corinto to
enforce the payment of the indemnity de-
manded by Great Britain for the expul-
sion of the British vice consul at Blue
fields. Chief Hendy was appointed as the
successor of Chief Clarence.
