The caucua will be held the Saturday

element of enthusiasm.
Seculationa as to presidential nooi
neca are as abundant in WaHbington as
elaew!ere,and aa uncertain. Cleveland,
Hill and Flower are each a posaibility
on the democratic side; so, Intact, are
others, including Mr. Gorman, who has
many admirers; probably Cleveland,
and Boies for second place, are now
oftenest named. On the republican side
Harrison and McKinley seem to lead,
though Blaine would, no doubt, be
nominated if he so disired. The more
prevalent Opinion probably is that be
will not run. His healtn is good, so far
as known here, and he is, apparently,
fully recover! from exhaustion, sick
ness, Infirmity or 'whatever mysterious
cause it was that kept bim at the
North during the summer. Between the
enterprising correspondents who con
fidently asaerted for many weeks that he
was a broken-down man, and the other,
wideawake fellows who as positively af
firm that he had never tweu sick but
was getting bettor very fast, the public
was somewhat puzzled. It is probable
that he needed rest and very sensibly
took it, and both his political friomlB and
his opponents can but rejoice in his
recti wrat ion.
Washington, Nov. 14 Argument was
begun in the United States supreme
court today In the anti-lottery cases in
which the constitutionally of the recent
anti-lottery law is involved. The suits
are those brought by the United States
against John N. Rapier, publixher of the
Mobile Register, and George W. Purpey,
publisher of the New Orleans States, for
violation of the law prohibiting the
sending through the mail of newspapers
containing lottery advertisements.

Application Ijrauied lor Writ of
Certiorari.
Washington, Nov. 16. The supreme
court of the Uniled States today granted
an application for a certiorari to compel
the circuit court for the district embrac
ing the Pacific coast to certify to the
court the cases of Chinese importers of
Portland, Oregon, who were lefnsed ad
mission into the United States after a
brief visit to China.
The court, in tho opinion by Chief
Justice Fuller, says it will be seen that
the case involves the construction of the
Chinese restriction act and treaties be
tween the United States and China.
The Chinese restriction act, as amended,
made identification of Chinese, other
than laborers, who were, entirely ex
cluded in the mode provided, the sole
evidence of their right to enter the
United States. Manifestly the question
involved as to whether the act should
be construed in view of treaties, 18 one
of gravity and importance, and involves
a matter of international concern. The
case, it holds, has no connection with
the Chinese case heretofore decided, and
relied upon to exclude Lan Fow Dew
for the reason that in that case the man
was a laborer and not a merchant.
The court is therefore of the opinion that
sulficient ground has been shown for a
writ of certiorari.
lMsiinisNctl from the lepnrtment
Washington ,Nov. 1 1 Secretary Noble
today dismissed from service Lewis V.
Bogy, of St. Louis, Mo., a clerk in the
pension office, for having written and

States Marshal William Carll of Lake view
arrived here late yesterday Jalternoon
having in charge George Jones arrested
for counterfeiting and being accessory to
robbery of the United States mails, he
being a member of the gang who have
been committing all the stage robberies
of late in Southern Oregon and Northern
California. Jones is a brother of A tie
Jones, who was arrested with Bill How
ard and Jack Rice, near Alturas about
the 28th or 2Dlh ot last month, and who
made his escape near Hokum's place by
getting off his boots and slipping his
shackles. Abe is atill at large. Howard
was killed at his father's place near
Redding, and the arrest of George Jones
leaves only one of the gang, Abe Jones,
at large. Now that Bill Howard is
killed, his' father in jail in San Fran
cisco, his brother, Verge Howard, and
George Jones in jail here, the gang of
mail robbers and counterfeiters who
have so long infested the border between
the two states has been broken op, Abe
Jones, being tbe only one now at large.

Man FraBrlur tVarklaig; for the
.national Convention.
8am Fbancibco, Nov. 14 Tbe work of
securing $50,000 in subscription as a
preliminary guarentee fund for the ex
pense of the national republican and
democrats conventions, in the event of
either or both those conventions being
held in this city, has been completed
by the committee of business men, and
a committee has been appointed by it to
go to Washington to lay Sao Francisco's
offer before the national committees.
The .late Eclipoe.
Boston, Nov. 16 The eclipse of the
moon last jcjht was observed under the
most favcraLle circumstances in this
city, as the sky was cloudless. At
Harvard photographs were taken, the
plates being exposed five minutes, one
at a time, tbe greatest totality being
exposed ten minutes. The plates were
immediately developed and examined,
the principal object of observation being
to determine whether the moon bad a
satellite. No sign ot sucy a body was
discovered. Harvard auw established
an observatory in Arequipa, Peru, where
a search for the satellite was also to be
made. Observations were also taken at
Harvard of the eclipse of one of the
satellites of Jupiter. This eclipso began
5 :20 and lasted three minutes.
. o IMare to Hold the Convention.
Tacoma, Nov Franklin K. Lane,
editor of the Tacoma News, returned
from tbe east, whither he had been
to lay before tbe democratic national
committee an invitation on behalf
of the democrats .of the Pacific North'
west to hold their convention in
Tacoma next year. Mr. Lane in an in
terview today, stated that it was possible
to overcome all objections excepting one,
and that was by ths newspapers of the
east. They think it would be impossible
to get adequate telegraph service from
this coast, and then the difference in
time between here and New York would
make it impossible to hold any evening
session.
Minister Porter Home.
Chicago, Nov. 15 A morning paper
has a special fiom New York saying that
United Slate's Minister to Italy Porter
reached there this morning on tbe
steamer Normandia, and proceeded at
once to Washington, having been sum
moned unexpectedly from his post. He
declines to talk, but bis sudden appear
ance gives riB to a rumor that the
Italian government thinks this an oppor
tune time to submit a demand for an
apology or a money indemnity for the
New Orleans affuir, since naval vessels
are concentrating in Chillian waters and
may be needed there some time.
RankViamlaers Take Charge.
Washington, Nov. 14 Comptroller of
the Currency Lacey has instructed the
bank examiners to take charge of the
Cheyenne National bank at Cheyenne,
Wyo.,and the national bank at San Diago
Cal., both of which failed during the
week. Lacey says he does not know
whether the report that Senator Sher
man is a stockholders of tbe Cheyenne
bank is true or not.

Itaqui, on the Uruguay line surrendered

ital of the state, is in the hands of the

join the movement against the dictator.

ports.
Nbw.Yohb:, Nov. 14 Reports of the
financial situation in Brazil, picturing it
in a deplorable light, were current
today among the Brazilian merchant
and correspondents. The reports were
based upon dispatches received from Rio,
some sent with the government's sane-
tion and others being private advices.
The latter, as was deemed natural, told
a worse story than the former, but they
' were all anything but encouraging, and
one uerchant went so far as to say that
" the situation could not be worse wirb-
out bursting wide open."
