ST PAUL Nov. Ex-Governor Lind and
the Democratic State leaders have been in
conference nearly all the week in antici-
patton OF the death of Senator Davis. and
the appointment of his successor They
have agreed that it would not be wise to
appoint Democrat, though they would
prefer one. A Democrat would be turned
down by the Republican Legislature, which
convenes in January. without hesitation.
Therefore, they have decided on a Repub-
lican who is Objectionable to the party
leaders. but who has strength enough to
hold his own if once appointed.
This man is ex-senator Washburn. and
il the plans are not changed, Governor
Lind will appoint him In few days. This
would be a blow to the Republicans 1t
is doubtful If, under the circums tances,
the Republican Legislature would dare
to turn him down. He is 100 good a Re-
publican for this. and not quite good
enough for them to chose Voluntarily
Senator Nelson's term expires with the
present Congress and his successor will
also be elected by the next Legislature.
He is n candidate to sue iced himself

distance in the road after the shooting.
Moses Hoe, the next witness stated that

lice, was arrested in Baltimore yes; erday

brought to this city last night and lodged
at the First precinct police station. He
is held on suspicion of an attempt to

the possession of the police. Noonan is
thought by the police to be connected
with the gang of swindlers and confidence
men which for month past have been
operating in the city.
The police record of Noonan dates back
to March 4, 1889, when he is said to have
been arrested and held over the Cleveland
Inauguration ceremonies. When a gang
of confidence men began to operate here
about month ago, suspicion fell upon

SECRETARY ROOT RETURNS.
Rcticcnt Concerning the Question of
Cuban Independence.


Secretary Root returned to Washington
yesterday from his tour of observation
in Cuba. As result OF the Secretary S
inspection it seems certain that no legis-
lation contemplating independence ror the
island will be recommended to Congress
for enactment during its coming session.
and that Cuban affairs will be permitted
to drift.
My trip" Mr. Root said last night,
WAS simply continual ton of that which
l made last spring. At that time 1 visit
ed the western part of Cuba and examined
conditions prevailing there. / desired to
see for myself the conditions existing in
eastern Cuba ana went directly to that part
Of the island.

and contented. and pursuing their ordi-
nary ayocations. The island is growing
steadily more prosperous and the people
seem to be satisfied"
What was the sentiment is the eastern
part of the island with respect to annexa-

Il cannot answer that question" Mr..
Root replied.
rs the Cuban convention making prog
ress in the preparation of a constitution
Il did not have an opportunity 20 at
tend the session OF the convention. You
know my trip was devoted to the eastern
part of the island. and all / can say is
that conditions there were much the same
as found them last spring in the western
section"
II is said that Mr.. Root does not believe
annexation at this time is practical
question, and he is giving it no consid-
Grafton, but the Secretary would not dis
cuss any such question last night.

HoNoRs FOR GENERAL SMITH.
May He Made Governor General OF
the Philippines.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 27.-A private de-
spatch received here from Washington by
a prominent Republican says the Presi-
dent is considering The ACCESSIBILITY of ap-
pointing Gen. James F. Smith, recently
Governor Of Negros Island. and now COL
lector of customs at Manila. Governor Cen
eral of the Philippines.
This is because all Regular Army officers
CT high rank are tired of service in the
Philippines and have made application to
be relieved. Chiefs of different army bu-
reaus in this country are too old to be as
signed TO such service. In this emergency
General Smith was suggested and the Pres
ident is said to favor him for the civil
governorship. The military governor will
probably be General Chaffee.
