sufficient to have prevented the loading of hogs

The hog market this week has had n stronc
downward tendency, though it opened a shade

McMILL|N TO BE CHOSEN
Will Succeed Harris in the United State,
Senate.
Opposition Expected From West Ten.
nessce-Candidates Before the
Legislature.

The Tennesseeans who went from Wash
ington to attend the funeral of Senator
Harris have returned. 1t is stated positive
ly that Representative McMillin will be ap-
pointed to succeed Mr.. Harris in the Sen
ate. This, 1t Is said. has been definitely de-
termined upon, and there is general ac-
ceptance of the situation. The appointment
is regarded as a fitting one. Mr.. McMillin
has had long service in the House, always
holding prominent position in the council
of his party, and 1t Is thought that he will
fit in the Senate even better than he does
in the House The only question raised
against his selection is that based on the
sectional division of the state. Mr.. McMil-
liz comes from middle Tennessee. 1t
seems that west Tennessee holds to the
opinion that, Mr.. Harris having come from
that section, the balance OF the term should
be accorded to a west Tennesseean, and at
conference gentleman who was Mr.
Harris law partner was indorsed for the
place, simply to serve out the remaining
four years.
Hot Fight in the EeSisaature.
The appointment Of middle Tennessee
ali. it Is said. will provoke a hot contest
when the legislature meets in January,
1898. Unless an extra session of the pres-
ent legislature is called. which is not at
all expected. Mr. McMfilin will have to
serve until the new legislature meets
This legislature will have not only to fill
the vacancy to which Mr.. McMillin will
be appointed, but will elect the success
to Mr.. Bate. The supposition is that Mr.
McMillin and the present governor Bob"
Taylor, will he candidates, one for the
short term and one for the long and 1t is
suggested that they may combine their
forces. 1t is very positively stated, how
ever. that Mr.. McMil1in,s SELECTION. is not
based on any understanding of this sort
between Mr.. McMillin and the governor
1t Is said that there will be a hard fight
In the legislature against both Of them, on
account of the claim west Tennessee now
makes to the appointment, and that east
and west Tennessee will probably, form a
combination to elect two new men, Repre-
sentative Cormack probably being one of
the men decided on.
Spenkershfp Contest SimpIiHed.
The appointment of Mr.. McMillin to the
Senate will relieve the situation as to the
speakership of the next House, should the
democrats get majority in that body
Among the prospects Of the future should
the democrats be successful In the next
congressional election, was that there
would he an embarrassing contest over the
speakership. both McNIilin and Richardson
of the same state being candidates against
Bailey. The retirement OF Mr.. McMillin
from the House will put this out Of the
lire of possibility. Mr.. McMillin has been
twenty years in the House Though a
young man, he is one Of the representatives
of longest service in the House.

REV. LAMONT VISITS DURRANT.
Clergyman Has Doubts ms 10 the
Young Mans Guilt.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 15.-Rev. Hugh
Lamont, uncle of Blanche Lamont, for
whose murder Theodore Durrant has been
sentenced to death, has visited Durrant at
the San Quentin prison. Speaking OF his
visit. Rev. Lamont said: Judging from the
evidence 1 believe Durrant guilty, but his
demeanor is that of an innocent man. I
had no intention of making public what oc-
CURED between U.S. but In Justice to that
unhappy boy I have changed my mind. /
visited Durrant at San Quentin. and con-
versed with him In Capt. Edgar's office.
We greeted each other, and Durrant held
out his hand to me, saying: i suppose,
Mr. Lamont, you are attending the Chris
tian Endeavor meeting. / greatly regret
my inability to avail myself Of the same
privilege
During the conversation Rev. Lamont
said: IT believe in your guilt: but IL you are
an innocent man. the evidence will be soon
forthcoming"
Durrant replied that he was an innocent
man, and hoped that his innocence would
be proven before his death, but, at any
rate after the execution.
Durrant refused to discuss the question
as to the probable murderer. and after a
little other conversation the Interview
ended.

DISCUSS UNIFORM SCALE.
Wide Differences Of Opinion ms 10
Adopting such Rate. ..

P1TTsBURG. Pa. July 15.-While the set
tlement OF the miners strike on the basis
of true uniformity IN prices and conditions
In the Pittsburg district is regarded as al
most foregone conclusion by the arbitra-
ton commissioners, many operators have no
confidence in the success OF the plan. They
claim l. will be impossible TO get The op-
era tors on the Pennsylvania railroad to
consent to pay the same rate as may be
decided upon for the Pittsburg district.
The last uniformity movement" saId one
was humbug, and this attempt VIII he
tie same. The plan Is all right, and DE
Armltt's position is all right, but uniform
ity can never be established IN tine Pitts
burg district"
The members of the joint board spent
the entire morning in discussing true uni
formity as proposed by President DE Ar
mitt, and they believe that The plan can
soon be established. Commissioner Schmid
o: Indiana said that the commissioners
expected smooth sailing low In bringing
about settlement. Everything is en-
oouraging." said he, ''and we do not an
ticipate that much time will be required
in getting the operators to sign the agree
ment."
