man was appointed a member of the board Of appraisers. 1t was supposed that he would resign his seat In the Fifty-si<th congress and accept. But, having taken the matter under consideration for ten days, and having made trip south MT. sherman announced his deelinatlon of the. appraisership and his intention to remain in congress. Indiscreet friends at the time explained that MT. Sherman had received an intimation of MT. Reeds intention to retire, and that he had been induced 10 remain in congress in order to become the New York candidate for speaker. The more recent developments bear out the ex- planation.
 Mir Sherman is a candidate for speaker. He will have the full support of New York and Pennsylvania party organizations So much is assured. The probability is strong that the east will be solidly for him. By the east is meant all the states along the Atlantic seaboard to and including North Carolina If the conditions of the Fifty- fifth congress had prevailed MT. Shermans chances would have been much better than they are. In the last congress the east had 100 republicans and the west 1o2.
 By the west Is meant all west of the AL leghanies, including West Virginia, Tennes- see, Texas and Missouri. If MT. sherman commands the solid support of the east he must go into the west and get 21 votes to win.
 The west will not be solid in the beginning unless 1t departs from it's record. Hopkins of Illinois will lead. Whenever there has been talk of MT. Reed retiring the name of Mir. Hopkins has been mentioned more fre- quenty as a probability for the succession than any other. His qualifications have been demonstrated by frequent occupancy of the chair. His service upon tie ways and means committee for several terms has made him very prominent. General recognition of the fitness of MT. Hopkins for the speakership has been shown in the repeated association of his name with the place.
 As favorite sons, General Henderson of Iowa, General Grosvenor of Ohio, MT. Bab- cock of Wisconsin and MT. Curtis of Kan sas may receive the votes of their state delegations on the opening ballot.
 The only question that seems to be pre- sented is whether the necessary twenty one western men can be induced by pledges of desired committee appointments to give their votes to the eastern candidate. The east has usually beaten the west at organ ization and combination. As a matter of fitness and popular choice Mir. Hopkins would receive a two-thirds vote in the eau cus.i As a matter of fine work and power ful influence, Mir. sherman is dangerous candidate.

Atlanta Telegram to the Chicago

Atlanta Telegram to the Chicago Inter
 Ocean.
 The social and musical aristocracy of Alt lanta packed the Grand opera house to hear the first concert given by Theodore Thomas and his orchestra from Chicago. Their coming has been heralded for some weeks by the newspapers, and today much space is given to a description of the per sonnel of the orchestra and it's leader. Mir. Thomas was requested to play Dixie" and dumbfounded his admirers by the an- nouneement that his organization could not play the favorite southern patriotic tune, and in fact, that no popular" music was included in any of the programmes He eventually explained that such a hish-class orchestra could not afford to daily its time away on such compositions, and thus al- layed the excitement which at first threat ened to work some loss to his stay here.

WHEN PATTI DEMANDED A DOLL

From the Philadelphia Post.
 Although Adelina Patti has recently in- stalled new head at her castle at Craig y-Nos, it is doubtful if Baron Cederstrom will be other than a figurehead.
 When, in her young days, the famous singer was touring America, the lmpresario who was managing little Adelna as an infant prodigy" found it necessary to give her q valuable little toy each time she ap- peared.
 One evening in Cincinnati he forgot the usual gift. ''Very well," said Patti, then I don't sing!'
 But the house is filled and the audience is waiting" said the distracted manager. Entreaties proved vain; the little singer re- fused to go on the stage. After vast amount of trouble the manager purchased toy and tossed it at the feet of the song stress, who at once tripped on the stage and began to sing as only Patti can sing.

HARRIsoN's KNIFE our FOR ALTGELp

Chicago, April 21.-Mayor Harrison has turned his batteries afresh on ex-Governor Altgeld, at the same time indorsing w. j.. Bryan for president. In proof sheets sent last night from his press bureau to demo- cratic papers throughout the state he is quoted as saying:
 "John P. AltgeId is no longer a democrat, and he is not entitled even to sit in the gallery of the next national democratic con- yention He will not get within 200 feet of convention hall in 1900 unless tho national committee takes the Illinois democracy by the throat and casts aside the regular or ganization of the state. Even In such an event I have supreme faith in the fairness and wisdom of delegates on the floor of the convention.
 T propose to carry on this war to the knife. Between John F. Altgeld and my self there will be no compromise. That was settled three months ago. Altgeil's atti- tude has been repudiated by the people of this city. His municipal campaign was an organized hypocracy and an inglorious fail- ure. l want to say now with official, final and irrevocable emphasis that I am for Colonel William Jennings Bryan for presi- dent in 1900, first, last and all the time."

The State Democratic Exec utive Committee has acted wisely acted. It has resolved by a vote of 18 to 7 that the democratic party of the State is opposed to the repeal of the constitutional convention act. It has further resolved to con- duct a campaign for the call of the constitutional convention.
 The matter is now up to the people and the question is shall the people rule in this state or shall they accept 8 dictator. The governor has the power to call an extra ses- sion of the legislature, but has he the power to force legisla- tors to abandon the people and vote as he dictates :?

It was maintained last night that the real fight in the extra session of the legislature called by the governor would come up over the qualifications of Representatives Bran don, of Tuscaloosa; Morgan D. Jones, of Covington, and w. c. Mcclure, of Russell. MT. Jones. of Covington, and MT. Mcclure, of Russell, is said to be dis qualified because of the fact each now re- sides outside of the county which elected him.. In the matter of MT. Brandon. he is adjutant-general and in receipt of $125 a month for that service. Clearly the pres ent constitution inhibits him from serving as legislator.
