Mr.. GRlGGS' SUCCESSOR
OHIOANS UNITE UPON SOLICITOR
GENERAL RICHARDS.
Postmaster General Smith May Re-
tire From the Cabinet by the
First of July.

The President made no suggestion to mis-
cabinet officers today as to the successor
to Attorney General GrigSs, who will re-
tire from his office in less than ten days.
The situation as to this cabinet position is
an interesting one. For a long time after
the announcement of the retirement of Mr..
Griggs the President tried to induce that
officer to remain for another term, but Mr..
Griggs each time held firmly to his origi-
nal intention. When it was apparent that
Mr.. Griggs could not be induced to change
his opinions the Presidents mind turned
to Philander C. Knox of Pittsburg. The
President had known Mr.. Knox for years,
and knew that he possessed all the quail
fications for the position. His feeling.
therefore, was to offer the position to Mr..
Knox All the time, though, he has held
the office open, that every suggestion may
be made him as to suitable man. Up to
twenty-four hours ago he had not even Of
fered the position to Mr.. Knox, and does
not even know that Mr.. Knox would ac-
cept if the position should be rendered him.
He has simply been holding the door open
for suggestions, looking to a bigger and
better man than the PlttSburg citizen, II
one can be had.
Mr.. Knox, it may be stated, is in San
Bernardino, Cal, where he is spending the
winter. He is probably not aware of q big
portion of the talk regarding his name.
Solicitor General Richards.
The uncertainty of the situation has been
well known, and during the last few days
the Ohio senators and representatives have
begun to lay the groundwork for the selec-
ton of Solicitor General Richards.
Senator Foraker and the Ohio delegation
have indorsed Mr.. Richards candidacy 1t
is understood that the justices of the
United States Supreme Court have indicat-
ed their qualification over the possibility
of Mr.. Richards being appointed. They
were very much impressed by his legal
acumen as brought out in the arguments
on the Porto Rican cases before the Su-
preme Court
Mr.. Richards was elected attorney gen.
eral of Ohio when Maj. Mckinley was
elected governor, and it is said that never
has the office of attorney general been
more acceptably filled that during Mr.
Richards incumbency. He is a native of
Lawrence county, Ohio a strong republi-
can section, and is a graduate of the Har-
ward Law School His reputation as law
Yer has been enhanced by his handling of
the governments cases during his present
tenure of office.
1t is understood that another change In
the cabinet is impending. 1t is said that
Postmaster General Smith will retire from
office about July l and return to his edi-
torial work, unless, indeed, there should be
still further changes in the cabinet mean
time which would transfer him to a port
folio other than that of the postmaster
generalShip

| Fresident of Guatemala on Relations
| With United States

The Guatemalan minister, Mr. Lazo-Ar-
r1aga, has received copies of the message
OF the president delivered to the congress
of Guatemala when it assembled ON the
lst instant. In referring to foreign affairs
the president speaks of the satisfactory
condition of relations with the United

points out that irritating border controver-
sizes have disappeared, and that Guatemala
enjoys most peaceful and cordial relations

{ The State Department has not received
any advices from Lima or Santiago con-
cerning the reported action of the Peru
Wan ministry in recalling their minister
from Chile and making a protest against
Ch1le's course on the boundary question
and it is hardly thought the differences
have reached critical stage else the de-
partment would be advised by the minis

The Department Of State has received
the following cablegram from United

NEW SIGHT AND CLIP.
Recent improvements Made to the
kraE-JOrgensen Rifle.

hraE-JOrEensen Rifle.
The ordnance department of the army
has just arranged to equip all the United
States magazine rifles, commonly known as
the krag-Jorgensen, with a new sight, de-
veloped by the department itself after some
years careful experiment. The feature of
the sight is the combination of the ordi-
nary hinged elevating eyepiece with a side
movement, controlled by a simple and
strong friction clamp, which turns the sight
into a very effective graduated wind gauge.
The new arrangement adds very little to
the number of parts in the sight, practical
ly nothing to it's weight and very slight
hgure to the cost. The sight can be an
Piled readily to the existing models of mag
azine rifles, and not only will the future
product of the arsenals be thus fitted, but
the rifles now in service will be called in
from time to time and given new sights.
The ordnance department has also Sc
cured an effective clip for the Krag-Jor-
gensen. something very much needed to
bring 1t up to the rapidity of fire of other
magazine rifles. Heretofore the soldier was
obliged to draw each cartridge separately
from his belt and insert it in the breech.
with this clip, resembling that in use in
the Mausers, the soldier, by simple moye-
ment OF the thumb, strips the five car
tfldgeS at once into the magazine One
hundred of the new guns fitted for use with
these clips have been sent to the Philin
pines and the department is awaiting the
result of the service test to be made there.

vfncial Government


BACOLOR, Island of Negros, March 22.-
According to expressions of a large ma
jority Of delegates from occidental Negros
and Of few who were present from the
oriental side, the sentiment of the people is

salaries of officials, the establishment Of
schools and the improvement of roads

PEKIN, March 22.-The troops on both
sides OF the disputed land at Tien Tsin
have been withdrawn, and all danger Of a
fracas Is ended. The opinion of the Brit
ish is that the promptness Of Gen. Bar
row in calling up the marines from Taku
prevented a collision.
The British report that prior to the ar

piled from the Madras pioneers, who for
several days were surrounded by crowds OF
foreign soldiers, mostly French, who as
sailed them with all kinds of abuse, calling
them coolies" The Madrassees were be-
coming restive when the marines arrived at
night and quietly relieved them, and it
was only when daylight appeared that the
Russians discovered the change.

The Tomato as o Tonin

According TO the North American
Practitioner, DR.. True OF Philadelphta
has made quite extensive experiments
with the juice of the red tomato for
the purpose of discovering its virtues
as medicine. DR.. True's investiga-
tions have led him to adopt the juice
Of the tomato in cases in which the
blood needs toning vi. The United
States government and the German
government have also made expert
ments, and many facts of interest have
been discovered. During the recent
war with Spain the juice Of the tomato
vas utilized extensively as a health
preseryative among certain bodies of
troops, with results which were eui.
nently satisfactory.
