That Rnuiored Engagement.
NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-Ex-Senator Thom-
as w. Palmer Of Michigan, who is now in
the city, had long conference with ex-
President Harrison at the Fifth Avenue
hotel. After seeing General Harrison, Mr..
Palmer said, "In my Judgment General
Harrison VIII not be a candidate for the
presidential nomination"
This statement Is regarded by politi-
clans as important on account Of the close
relations Of personal friendship that have
long existed between the ex-president and
Mr.. Palmer. They served in the United
States senate together, and their intimacy
was Of a marked character. After General
Harrison became president he intended
that Mr.. Palmer should have place in
his cabinet and proposed that he should
accept the post of secretary of agriculture.
Mr.. Palmer, however was bitterly op-
posed by General Algcr and other Michi-
gan Republicans Mr. Palmer declined to
place the president in "A position Of antag
onism to the dominant faction of the party
in Michigan, and General Harrison gave
the portfolio to General Jeremiah Rusk OF
Wisconsin.
General Harrison afterward appointed
Mr.. Palmer minister to Spain. Their
friendship has since been continued with
out interruption or Impairment and it
was believed that the ex president had con-
fded his purpose to ex-senator Palmer Of
keeping out of the race.
Called with Russell on Mrs. Dimmiclx.
After an active day down town ex-Pres-
ident Benjamin Harrison, accompanied by
his son, Russell b. Harrison, made form
al call on Mrs. Caroline Dimmick, at 10
East Thirty eighth street. Father and son
left the Fifth Avenue hotel in "A cab short
ly before D. m and were driven to the
Thirty-eghth street house
The general went down to the offices OF
Dillon & Hubbard to consult with ex-
Judge Dillon, who is senior counsel for
the Leland Stanford estate. The consulta-
ton related to the coming hearing at Wash
ington of the California irrigation cases.
At the conclusion of the talk General Har-
rison returned TO the Fifth Avenue hotel,
and there he had an interview with Mrs.
Leland Stanford on the same subject.
General Harrison's $ private secretary, +.
H. TibbOtt, said that the general had re-
ceivcd word from Washington that the ir-
rigation cases will not be called by the
supreme court before Thursday at the ear
liest General Harrison will therefore re-
main in New York until this evening or
tomorrow.
Mr.. Harrison may, after his return from
the capital, make an announcement on
the subject of his supposed engagement.

A BISHOPS TROUBLE.
Protest Made Against His Confirmation on
Account of Alleged Fraud.

Protest Made Against His Confirmation on
Account of Alleged Fraud.
MILWAUKEE, Jan. IA protest against
the confirmation Of Bishop Elect c. Mott
Williams Of Marquette, containing charges
that will create a sensation in Epispcopal
circles all over the cotsltry, has been for
warded TO the Right Rev. John Williams
of Connecticut, presiding bishop of the
American church. Bishop Williams in
turn has caused copies of the protest to be
forwarded to all of the other bishops.
Besides making an attack on Bishop
Elect Williams the protest attacks the con-
vention at which the election took place
by asserting that it was improperly con-
stitutcd, and then makes the charge That
Bishop Williams election was brought
about by packed ballot. The protest is
signed by four delegates, chiefly from the
parish of Snult Ste. Marie, who sat in the
primary convention held at Marquette
Nov. Il, 1895.
Besides making the charge that the
election was brought about by packed bal
lot and that the convention was not prop
erly constituted, it alleges that there is no
properly invested Episcopal fund for
northern Michigan. 1t then goes on to sSy
that there is such fund, but that II has
been improperly contributed, with inn
proper conditions annexed. These improp-
cr conditions are to the effect that the
fund is not to stand unless G. Mott VIII
liams is elected.
