Opinion of Prominent Men Re-

Declination.

Strength.
Probably Mr.. Allison Will Profit
MOst--General Harrison's
Letter.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-General L. T.
Michener, well known as an old time
friend of General Harrison, and one
who had much to do with his nomina-
tions, was asked for an expression con-
cerning General Harrison's letter. He
said: II have no doubt that the
decision of General Harrison is
a finality Since he left the
White House, he has never had the
slightest desire to return to it.
I do not know what Indiana will do,
but imagine that all the candidates
will develop strength there, especially
Mr.. Mckinley and Mr.. Allison. The
manufacturing. centers will probably be
disposed to support Mr.. Mckinley,
while the other sections, I should think,
would be very likely to go to Mr.. ALI
son or Mr.. Morton. 1t 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.

Senate Finance Committee Re-
ports a Substitute For the
Tariff Bill.
It Is Identical With the One
Which Recently Passed
the Senate.
Republican Silver Men Are Not
Likely to Support This
One.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The finance
committee of the senate has agreed tC
report for the tariff bill a substitute
providing for the free coinage of silver.
The substitute was suggested by Sena'
tor Vest, and was agreed to by a ma
jority of one, Senator Jones of Nevada
voting with the Democrats for the sub
stitute, and all the Republicans present
voting against it. Senator Walcott OF
Colorado was the only Republican alb
sentee, and he was recorded as voting
against the substitute. Senator Jones
of Arkansas, the only Democratic mem
Der absent, was recorded as voting for it.
just Like the other Substitute.
The substitute agreed to is in the ex-
act words of the silver substitute for
the bond bill which passed the senate
on Saturday. It provided for the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to L;
directs the immediate coinage into
standard dollars of the silver seignior-
age in the treasury accumulated by the
purchases under the Sherman act; pro
hibits the issuance of national bank

The meeting of the committee did
not last to exceed half an hour and was
devoid of especial feature beyong the
offering and and adoption of the, sub
stitute The Republicans brought up
the tariff bill and expressed desire to
get it out of committee in some shape.
When Mr. Vest proposed the silver sub
stitute it was remarked that the senate
had already been through one silver
fight THIS session and the belief was ex-
pressed that another could avail little
or nothing. When, however, the vote
was taken and the result known the
Republicans made no effort to delay the

Where a1osIerns Arc aTost Numerous.

Where S1oslefns Are Mos1 Hhinesous.
 Far in advance of any other nation in the number of the Moslems under its rule is Great Britain. In India alone there are about 60,0o0,0 000 Mohamme- dams, and they outnumber all the sub ieets of the sultan more than two to one. Besides, England rules Mohamme- dans i'll other parts of her vast empire, though not many in any one place. The queen is the sovereign of many millions more Moslelns than Christians.
 China is believed 10 come next as il country inhabited by many followers of the prophet Tho number of Mohamme- dans in the Chinese empire is estimated all the way from 30, 000, GOO to DO, ,000,- GOO, and the smallest of the guesses is moro than Turkey can match. Holland also has nearly or quite 30, 900, GOO Mos lem subjects in her populous and rich East Indian possessions Java has fully 25.000, GOO people, and nearly all of them are Mohammedans.
 The Turkish empire is supposed to contain about 23,000, 900 Moslems, counting the portion of Arabia in which the authority of the sultan is not very we'll established and is ill danger of be- ing destroyed at any time. Therefore it is apparent that unless great error has been made in estimating the number of Mohammedans in the Chinese empire the sultan is only fourth among rulers of great bodies of men and women who believe in Mohammed.
 But among other countries which are dominated by the Moslem element of their population and are under the sway of Mohammedan ruler the Turkish em- pire is easily first in numbers and ill power for Cleveland Leader.

During his sin gle term as Mayor of the city of Pine Bluff he did much to lift the city out of the slough of debt, and it can be truly said of him that the municipal affairs of this city were never more ably or skillfully handled, especially in a financial way, than during his administration as Mayor.
