That the republican leaders do not
feel sure of their ability to jam the ship
subsidy job through congress is shown
by the presence in Washington of ex-
Senator Edmunds, who has been en-
ployed, he says by the shipping inter
ests, to lobby for the bill. Mr.. Ed
munds has made elaborate arguments
before the committees of the house and
senate IN favor Of the bill, but those
arguments were not intended for the
committees, majority of both having
been persuaded to support the bill long
ago by Boss Hanna and his assistant
pushers. Mr.. Edmunds is not cheaI
man, and he would not have been EN-
ployed if his services had not been con
sidered necessary. His arguments are
expected to brace up the weakened
republicans who have candidly &C
knowledged themselves to be afraid o
the ship subsidy bill, as well as t.
furnish texts for the republican editor
to preach from.

1t seems that one of Boss Hannas
chief literary agents, First Assistant
Postmaster General, Perry Heath, has
also been sharing in the administra-
TONS financial favor. Last June Per-
ry Heath became the largest stockhold-
er in the Seventh National Bank of New
York City, Of which his brother be-
came Vice-president, and that imme-
diately that bank was made the deposit
tory for post-oflice funds in New York.
OF course, neither politics nor Heath's
official position had anything to dc
with it. Whoever heard of one the
Hanna school of politicians working
his official position for his persona
profit?

which led to the tragedy today began
while they were in the volunteer army.
A feud sprang up between Colson and
Scott while the troops we're in camp at
Admission, Alabama, and in this, it is
said by Colson's friends, that Captain
Golden was a warm partisan of Scott,
Col, Colson sought to have Lieutenant
Scott examined by board of officers
and discharged for inefliciency. The
trouble between them eliminated in q
meeting the men had in a restaurant at
Admission, Alabama. Hot words were
passed and Scott shot Colson, inhict-
ing what was for a time a serious
wound. The regiment was shortly af-
terward mustered out of the service.
Scott was acquitted at his examining
trial at Admission, Colson failing to APP
pear as a witness.
Since then the parties had not met
until today and it has been generally
believed that blood shed would follow
their meeting, for both we're under
stood to be looking for each other.

Will Be a Candidate for Reelection.

Nashville, Jan. Is. While the cleo
ton Of the United States senator is a
year in the future the contest for that
exalted Office is already assuming an in
teresting character. Candidates for the
legislature which will elect O senator
are beginning to she'll the woods and
the indications are that the crop will be
large. For several days rumor has
been peristently circulated to the effect
that Governor McMillen will at no dis.
tant day announce his candidacy for
the senatorship. The governor, how
ever, denies the rumor. He has never
made public announcement that he
would or would not be candidate for
senator. It is the current opinion
among the best informed politicians
that he will be candidate for re-elec-
ton for his present position. 1t is the
belief Of some that he will probably en-
ter the senatorial race after being re-
elected governor.
Mr.. Carmack's friends claim that he
is winner, but Judge Snodgrass has
elements of strength that will doubt
less prove surprising to some of them.
Neither has opened headquarters here
yet, but Mr.. Carmack will do so soon,
and Judge Snodgrass will doubtless dc
so, also, in the near future.

If the republican grumblers in the

of wasting time, as has been done ever
