SavANNAH'S PoSTMASTERSHIP
a Lively Contest on Between Doyle
and Blum.

Washington. April 26.-Dlstrict Attorney
Marion Erwin and Assistant Attorney
Leaken, who have been here on special
business with the Department of Justice,
have departed for their respective homes,
Mr.. Erwin will go direct to Savannah and
Mr.. Leaken win visit his relatives in
Baltimore, then so TO New York ana re-
turn to Savannah by steamer.
The Department of Justice has in ac'
cordance with existing laws, appointed an
additional assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney for the Eastern District
OF Georgia. with headquarters in Macon.
Mr.. Ackerman of Dublin has been ap-
pointed to the new position.
Georgia Republicans now in Washington
predict lively contest over the Savannah
postmastership between Postmaster Doyle
and Henry Blum. 1t is understood here
that Mr.. Bun is an avowed applicant for
the place, and 1t is stated further that
he is backed by nearly all of the leaders
of the regular organization. The circum-
stances under which Bluns nomination
was sent to the Senate and then suddenly

and the friends of Mr.. Blum are conflden.
that he will not meet similar fate next
time.
There is more or less speculation and
anxiety on the other important Federal
offices throughout the state, but the
terms of the various incumbents do not
expire for some time to come, hence the
question is not under serious considera-
tion by the administration.
A flock of South Carolina Republican Of
fieeholders has swooped down upon
Washington, with a view 10 ascertainlng
their prospects for retention In the SER
vice under existing conditions. Conspic-
uous among the flock Is Internal Revenue
Collector f. A. Webster Col. Wallace,
Collector of the Port of Charleston Law
son Melton, United States Marshal Ensor,
and others. Thus far they have not
been able to reach the President direct
but IL is understood that they have been
at the various departments, looking after
their individual interests, and have also
conferred with some of the Republican
national leaders now here. With one ac-
cord, the South Carolina contingent Is
opposed to the appointment of Mr.. Ca
pers as the successor Of District Attorney
Lathrop, and they threaten to make hot
fight against Mr.. Capers' confirmation
when 1t comes before the Senate.

GROWTH OF COKE INDUSTRY
Rapid Increase In Production Shown
by Census Bulletin.

Washington. April 26.-The census bu-
reau has issued bulletin on the coke in
dustry of the country, based upon the
condition of the business in 1899. The
report shows a rapid increase in produc-
ton. the value for 1899 being $35,5S5,445. as
against SIG, 1885 in 1890.
At each census Pennsylvania has stood
at the head of the coke producing states,
more than two-thirds of the total coke
product of the United States being made
in that state. West Virginia, which was
third in rank at the two preceding GEN.
suses. became second in importance in
1899; and Alabama which was sixth in
1880, and second in 1889, now stands third.
Virginia, which reported no coke product
I'm 1880, was sixth in 1889 and fourth in
1899. Colorado. the only important coke
producing state west of the Mississippi
river. now ranks fifth among the total
number; and Tennessee, which stood
fourth in 1880 and 1889, was sixth in 1899.

WISHES OF THE SENATORS.
MIR. Hay Succeeds in Getting n Com
sensus of Opinion.

Washington, April 26.-The admnistra-
tion has succeeded at last in securing a
collection of opinions from the leaders of
the Senate of all political parties upon
which to base negotiations for a new
isthmian canal treaty to replace the Hay
Pauncefote treaty In other words, it is
aware of the wishes of most of the SEN
ators, and the only problem before the
State Department is to frame treaty
that will reflect those views, insuring a
two-thirds' vote for ratification, and shall
yet be acceptable to the British govern
ment. If, as reported from London, the
sine qua non is a neutrality clause, ofti-
cials here feel that success on this point
seems within reach. 1t is expected that
two drafts of a treaty will be framed
before long, probably the latter part of
June, on Mr.. Hays return from the West.
1t is hardly expected, however, that final
results will be attained before next au-
tumn, after the return of Lord Pauncefote
from London.

Night and Much Distress Caused.
Cincinnati April 26. The Ohio river has
been. stationary here and for some dis
tanoe below Cincinnati since 8 O'Clock this
morning, when the limit of 5965 feet was
reached. Those depending on the predic-
tion of the limit not exceeding fifty
eight feet have suffered since the stage
became almost ten feet above the danger
line.
Favorable weather is reported through
out the Ohio valley and relief Is conf
IDENTIFY expected soon. The conditions on
both sides of the river here tonight are
quite serious. The Ludlow lagoon suf-
fered much damage to-day as well as the
Newport race track and other places on
the Kentucky side. On both sides of the
river public storehouses have been opened
for the destitute by the municipal authori-
ties but there is no call for public aid.

BRITAIN'S SINE QUA NON.
with Neutrality She May AbrOgate
ClaytOn-BuIwer Treaty.

London, April 26-No definite decision
mas yet been reached by the foreign office
mere regarding the probable attitude of
the United States towards the projected
Nicaragua canal treaty. The negotiations
proceeding on the subject of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty in this connection are
understood to be based on the sine qua
non of neutrality of the canal. If this
can be definitely assured it now seems
likely Great Britain will agree to abro-
gate the Clayton-Buiwer treaty, though
there is still the possibility of an en-
deavor on the part of Great Britain to
simultaneously bring up the Alaskan
boundary matter. This last contingency
a question of policy not very likely to be
pursued if the United States is content
to make the canal neutral.

Ed. Jacks Irrigation Plant.

On Friday Of last week, in company
with Prof. WAldron, va visited Eight
Mile, and was taken in tow by our form
or fellow,o wns,nan, Ell. Jack, who made
US his guest for the brief time we we're
in his vicinity. Among other improve.
ments shown us WAS the much noted
dam constructed by Mr.. Jack within the
last two years, and which WAS washed
out in the fl ,oi last summer. The dam
ages which then occurred have been
thoroughly repaired, and many addi.
tlOnaI improvements made to strengthen
and make the structure more substantial
than It would have been had the acci-
dent not taken place. The dam proper
is being riprappeh with rock, and the
main ditch greatly strengthened by snD-
stantiaI embankments. The reservoir
thus created by the dam will be- capable
of storing enough water to irrigate ten
thousand acres Of land. When the dam
and main bitches are completed as de-
signed by Mr.. Jack, it will be the great
eat and most substantial irrigation plant
in the state Of North Dakota. Too much
credit cannot be given Mr.. Jack for his
indomitable persey erance in this grand
enterprise.

Lake, bringing with him his steam
threshinR outfit IN complete and perfect
condition. Mr.. Thrun intends keeping
the machine in this locality, and in that
case W. may expect that many farmers
will next year engage more extensively
in raising grain. Heretofore, if good
threshing outfit had been owned in the
neixhborhood, grain in larger quantities
would have been raised, but as it has
been next to an impossibility to get
threshing done here, farmers have let
the production of cereals alone.
