McComas and Mudd.

President Roosevelt having declined to APP
point Aloysius E. Bowling. who had been
recommended by Congressman Mudd for sub
treasurer, asked Mr.. Mudd TO name some
other person. Last week Congressman Mudd
and jackson called at the White House and
recommended James B. Belt, of Prince
Georges county for sub-treasurer. 1t had
been suspected that the opposition to Mr..
Bowling by Senator McComas was simply OPP
position to Congressman Mudd. The recon
mendation of the appointment Of Mr.. Belt
was speedily followed by a protest from Sen
ator McComas. When areporter called upon
Senator McComas to learn his position toward
Mr.. Belt, he said-s'I have not fled any
charges against Mr. Belt, nor do Intend to. =
The reporter Immediately sought Congress
man Mudd and asked whether any charges
had been made against Mr.. Belt and Mr..
Mudd produced the following letter
WHITE HOUSE, June 10.
Nh Dear Sir Replying to your letter of
the nth instant, the President requests me to
state that Senator McComas has informed hi m
that the character and record of the man you
suggested are such that the Senator would feel
compelled 20 oppose his confirmation.
Very truly yours,
Gso. B. CoRTELYoU, Secretary.
Hon. Sidney E. Mudd, House of Representa-
tives.
Congressman Mudd also made public two
letters, one endorsing Mr. Bowling for sub
treasurer, signed by McComas and all the
Congressman from Maryland except Blake
ney, and one protesting against the appoint
ment of Mr. Bowling and signed by McComas
and the Congressman, except Mudd and Jack
son. In the latter protests this declaration
1--WE are confident that Mr. Mudd's indorse-
ment of Mr.. Bowling would not assuage, but
rather increase irritation"
Upon this Mr.. Mudd made the following
comment:
~ have not failed to note, continued Mr.
Mudd, s.the expression of my friends on the
delegation as to the effect of my Endorsement
of Bowling / am frank to say that regret
that they should have seen fit to make such a
personal fling at myself, understand the ma
ture and the purpose of it thoroughly. did
not expect it from the members of the House.
This sort of fighting properly belongs TO Nc
Comas expected it from him. ltisln line
with his personal efforts to discredit me with
the President and to discredit me elsewhere,
which have been going on for quite length
of time, covertly and clandestinely, while he
has been to my face making profuse profes
sions of his personal and political friendship
for me.

KING EDWARD ILL.
The Coronation Postponed.

LONDON, June 24.-The coronation Of
King Edward VII has been postponed.
He was operated upon at 2 p. m. Tuesday
at Buckingham Palace, London, for peri
typhlitis-a disease practically the same
as appendicitis, by which name it is com
monty known in this country.
Operations such as the one performed
on him are often successful in the cases of
men as old as he-60 years-but his
weight and his habits of life are against
him. He has been in failing health two
weeks, and is said to be suffering from
great nervous depression, aggravated by
belief in prophecy that he would never
live to be crowned.
By the Kings special request the coro-
nation dinner to the London poor will be
given next Saturday, but all other fetes
in connection with the event are postponed.
Official and personal messages of sym
pathy from all over the world, including
one from President Roosevelt, have been
received at the palace.
Large sums of money have been made
by persons in London who bet at odds OF
to 100 that the King would not be
crowned Thursday.

Judging by the speeches and general tenn
per of the meeting of the Columbia Club of
Baltimore, on Tuesday night, that Club is
after the scalp of Hon. Frank c. Wachter,
member of Congress from the Third District,
and other prominent Republicans with great
big knife. Among the speakers were Mr..
Charles L. Wilson and Gen. Adam E. King.
Mr.. Wilson closed his speech by saying
"They must get together and form an organ .
ization that would be so compact and strong
for either offensive or defensive warfare that
the national administration would be com
PEELED to recognize it.

In speech in New York last week Elk.
President Cleveland bewailed the loss OF
Democratic Governors and United States
Senators in the North, and wanted to see
unity and harmony in the party. That was
an unfortunate allusion for Mr.. Cleveland,
for Democratic Governors and United States
Senators disappeared in the North during his
last term as President. He caused division
in the party. 1t does not need any reorgan
ization. The old guard is still steadfast. Mr.
Cleveland and his friends should join them.

DETROIT, MICH, June 25.-Specials
from Northwestern Michigan tell of a severe

Texas, County Judge Sheehan, of Zapata

drought situation in Zapata County grows
steadily worse and thousands of people down
there are suffering for food.
No rain has fallen III many parts of Aapata
County for over three years. All the live
stock is dead and all people who could have
left the county. Those who remained here
for months past subsisted entirely upon charity
from people in other parts of the state. Zapa

Pattison for the Third Time.

ERIE, Pa, June 25.-For the third
time in 20 years, ex-Gov. Robert Pattison,
of Philadelphia, was nominated for Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania today by the Demo
cratic State Convention.
George w. Guthrie, of Pittsburg, was
the unanimous choice of the convention for
lieutenant Governor. James Nolan, OF
Reading, was nominated by reclamation
for secretary of Internal Affairs. The plat
form makes no reference to national ques-
tons, which indicates that the campaign
will be made strictly on state issues. Patti
son appeared before the convention and

IN MEMORIAM.

Lines on the death of Miss ANNIE E. MoRELoCK
who died June q, 1901.
One mournf9l year has passed away,
And yet it seems but yesterday
That my dear daughter was taken away.
Kind hands tried to save her;
Tears and signs were all in vain;
Happy angels came and bore her
From this weary world of pain.
Yet again we hope to meet her,
When the day of life is fed
And in Heaven with joy to greet her,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
BY HER MOTHER, X. NJ
My dear friend loved you sc.
How sad it was to part,
One dear thought of your smiling lace
Will cause the tears to start.
Outlines longing comes TO me
To see you once again.
All, since then my heart is saddened,
Since that day all my hopes are slain,
But your voice seems sweetly saying
Courage we shall meet again.

From the N Y Evening Post, Ind. Rep.
With the Republican Senators giving up
even sconferring' about Cuban reciprocity,
the death and burial of that measure, for this
session of Congress, must be set down as now
certain. Those who love to delude themselves
NAV still talk about this or that shift or device,
but it is clear that nothing will be done.
Senator Plat, of Connecticut, speaks bravely
about going boldly to the floor of the Senates
with the Spooner bill and making Republican
90 on record, but this is idle. The Senate has
a thousand ways to avoid going on record.
Besides with the eight led by such half
hearted leaders as Allison and Aldrich and
Hanna. surrender would occur before the bat
tie was fairly joined. Any one can see that
the device worn in their helmets is, not a
white plume, but the white feather. Equally
Elusive is the cheerful talk about the Pres
dents obtaining by treaty what has been re.
fused him by bill. If he could not get ma
iority the Senate, how is he going to get two
birds? Even if he could, the House Would
thave to be reckoned with. No hope lies that
way. Look at the matter as you will, nothing
is to be seen but President repudiated by
his party, that party disrupted, and the whole
Cuban policy of the Administration lying in
