Senator Sherman is understood to be reluctant to assume the labor and responsibility of looking after the details of the department of state, and if he accepts it will be with the understanding that he shall be allowed to devote his entire time to the diplomatic correspon- dence ard the serious questions that are involved in the foreign policy.

AnOth er Big CITY.

The example of Greater New York
has stimulated the people of 100 cities
and towns in New Jersey, within p
miles of the metropolis, TO com bine in
to a monster city with over 1000, 600
inhabitants. 1t is already proposed to
call the new town Greater Newark. :"
or "Greater Jersey City," the latter
most awkward name. A special
telegram says: The population of the
territory involved is more than mil
lion ard is largely contri butory to the
business of New York city or depen-
dent upon it. Much of this popu! alton
is the overflow of these who cannot be
accommodated on Manhattan Island
under conditions acceptable to them
and who have sought cheaper homes,
cheaper living and less crowded
quarters in another state"
Already the territory between New
ark and Jersey City is so filed with
houses that practically there is one
homogeneous POPULATION. Were it not
for the fact that New Jersey is a
separate state, the new city might be
united to New York, forming a huge
town of 4 .0O0, 600 and more population.
This is the era Of municipal as we'll as
industrial consolidation.

A counterfeiter's den has

A counterfeiter's den has been dis
covered in Mexico und + circu instances
that implicate several very prominent
people. The hacienda of Gu .ntanella,
one of the fines st estates in the country
and situated in TlaXcata, is owned by
Jose Delofano, a hi by connected
resident of this capital. In this house
the authorities have captured an entire
coming outfit, run by nephew of the
proprietor. A large and costly plant
was taken, also silver bars. The dol
lars were made of silver, the profit be-
log in paying no mint charges. Rafael
Bernal, a prominent official of the
artist ocratic Jockey club, of Mexico
City, was also captured, aud several
others of high society are believed to
be implicated in this affair. Moreno,
who is under arrest, denies all knowl-
edge of cOunterfeiting. Some years ago
a similar coming den wss discovered at
the Huamantla ranch in the same stare,
and its owners, rich men, are still in
prison.
