Talking of the Vice Presidency.
The vice presidential talk has now
swung around To Cornelius n. Bliss as
McKinleys probable running mate. There
seems now TO be little doubt in the minds
of the republicans that if Mr.. Bliss will
consent the use of his name, he can be
nominated by the same unaimity that
will characterize the selection of the man
for the place.
That New York should be given second
place on the ticket has been so generally
taken for granted that there mas been
no suggestion of names from othel
states. But il has also been recognized
that in order for New York to secure
this place, there must be perfect harmony.
The fact that Senator Platt did not take
kindly to the administration suggestion
of Secretary Root and the further fact
that Senator Hanna for the admlnlstra-
ton put his foot down squareiy on the
Woodruff boomlet led to talk OF a vice
presidential candidate from some other
eastern state; but now that IL seems
probable that perfect harmony could be
obtained through the nomination OF Mr.:
Bliss, there is general expression OF
opinion that this would be the happiest
possible solution of the problem

General Wheeler's Disappointment.

Alabama friends of General Joe Wheel
r expect the general To soon return to
Washington and resume his duties as
member of congress. They say they have
had nothing direct from the l.ttle general
i'm some time. but all they have had in
dscates an early return.
Ills close friends here make no secret
of their belief tht General Wheeler Is
bitterly disappointed over the treatment
he has had out I'm the Philippines. Wheel
n accepted a COMMISSION I'm the volun-
tccr army ana went to the Philippines
on the theory that he was To be given
chance al the fighting. He has had no
chance az all and this is attributed by
Wheelers admirers as being due To regu-
lar army jealousy of the volunteer Off
GERS. The same sort of jealousy, they eX-
plain. that mas kept titZhugh Lee IN the
background in Cuba. They do not think
this feeling of jealousy or enmity is based
or the fact that these men are ex-con-
f,derates. for they say IL has been mani

has been ineffective in his case simply
L.cause Wood made for himself a place
from which he could not he dislodged; he
was beyond the reach of the regular
army influences.
When Wheeler went out To the Phil
ippines he was offered the military COM
mand of one of the islands where there
had been no fighting and where there was
70 chance for any. II declined this.
Since then the only time his name has
been mentioned i'm the press dispatches
was when his secretary happened 10 be
attacked by some highwayman. Some
time ago General Whe eeler made inquiry
of the president. through General Otis,
whether the president desired him to re-

The latest bit of yellow news con-

the projected uprising OF the Dutch ana
the Irish I'm this country for raids over
the Canadian border-has not been con-
sid.red by the state department. as
worthy anything like formal dcn'ah.
The most charitable view of the officials
of the department having charge or our
foreign relations is that the talk of such
uprisings. If there has been any ut all.
WAS the direct and logical result OF over
indulgence i'm Christmas cheer. TneV
know that there is no sui stance 20 any
such wild imaginings. and they go 50 iaf
as To say that. i'm their opinion, even the
lima ginings have never existed.
This is but one of a number Of stories
more or less Wild in their nature when
have found their way INTO print since
this trouble in South Africa began. The
most nopuar If these have been the
onss telling of heavy enlistnents for the
Beer armies. The ambassador from
Great Britain has been pictured as nav
ing several times hurried to Mr.. Hays
cffice To enter vigorous protest against
the pro-Boer movements-the latest OF
these publications making him Reg the
secretary cf state aud the president TO
do something To head off the growth of
Boer sympathy on the part of ;he Amer
lean people.
Sits Steady in the Boat.
As matter of fact. there nave been

department nor Sir Julian Panncefote
has shown any evidence of Eys>eria.

alleged heavy enlistments for service III

confidence i'm the secret serv &c of that
department. This state department Sc
cret service is the one secret thing about
