Olney and Brmnn.
Washington, Jono' 7. President
Cleveland this afternoon announced the
following cabinet appointments :
Secretary of state, Richard Onley, of
.Massachusetts; for
attorney - general ,
J ad son Harmon, of
Cincinnati.'
The announce
ment, which was
made late this after
noon, created no
S- r. Xmmh surprise here, for It
&i WMZS has been well an
wulcsiiiOiCT derstood for several
days that Mr. Olney
would succeed to the first place in the
the cabinet, made vacant by the death
of Secretary Greeham. It is probable
that tomorrow Mr. Olney will take the
oath as the head of the state depart
ment. The president at one time con
templated other changes in his cabinet
and a rearrangement of eeveral port
folios, and in this connection considera
tion was given to the transfer of Secre
tary Smith to the department of jistice,
but this and other transfers were finally
abandoned, and tbe nremdent concluded
that the simplest plan would be merely
to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Olney's
promotion.
Reaping the Harvest.
Nbw Yobk, June 7. The Herald's
'Washington correspondent says :
England is reaping a sorry harvest as
result of the Corinto affair. By land
. ing the marines on Nicaraguan soil to
secure the payetnent of the 'Indemnity
for tbe exclusion of Consul Hatch she
sowed for herself seeds of hatred in the
native breast that has produced a crop
jfStnost bitter animosity, and has already
affected her interests in Nicaragua, and
will undoubtedly continue to do so.
This is made clear in the first report
on this subject which has been . received
4 at the navy department from Command
er nf th Alart. Thn Nimniiiniini mi)

in fact all residents of Central America,
ne says, consider tne united mates as
their natural protector, and look to us
for assistance when in trouble. They
have an exaggerated notion of the scope
of Monroe doctrine, as well as the size
of the naval and military service of the
United States, and believe, with the
majority of Americans, that tbe United
States can trounce the remainder of the
world if necessary.
It was feared by the Nicaraguans,
Commander Ide reports, that the Brit
ish intended to obtain control of the
canal, and they declared they would
rather see the canal project defeated
than have it pass into tbe.British hands.
Tbe regular monthly meeting of the
Nicaraguan Maritime Canal Company
will be held today. Is is stated that
only routine business will be transacted
Trade with China.
Stockton, Cal., June 7. Much inter
ent is felt here over the announced in'
tention of James J. Hill, of tbe Northern
Pacific and Great Northern roads, to
start a new line of steamers ia tbe flour
trade with China. The magnate of the
Korth has announced that he expects to
be able to place flour in the markets of
the Orient so that it Can be sold for 1
cents a pound, or 75 cents a sack of 5Q
pounds. From the city of Stockton by
each steamer that leaves San Francisco
for China many thousands of sacks are
shipped, and It is the opinion of the
, aoippera nere mat jrresiaent Mill will
find that he cannot long ship the staple
jor sale at the price named. It is bis
-idea to place the flour on the market at
f so low a price that it will causa the Chin
est) to use flour instead of rice.
In speaking of the matter, J. M.
'Welsh, the rebident owner of the Crown
mills, said:
"The present low price of floor has
been the cause of the large shipments,
and during the present year many of
the Chinese have learned to use the
American staple instead of the Chinese.
At present California flour in laid down
in the Chinese market -for $3 -90 per
barrel. Oregon flour can be placed
there for $3 60, or 87 J cents per sack of
60 pounds. The only reason that it cari
be taken there at the low rate mentioned
ia because the market for wheat is off,
hut if it should recuperate and. go to
$1 25 there would be an end to most of
the flour trade with Orient. The reason
that California flour cammands a higher
price in China than the -'product' of the
northern mills Is because it is a lighter
flour. It commands a Ijetter' "price ' in
any market."

M. Depew, H. Walter Webb, John Jacob
Astor, Howard Webb and H. M; Twom-

Any one who has ever had an atark
of inflammatory rheumatism will rejoice
with Mr. -J. A. Stumm, 220 Boyle
Heights, Los Angeles, over his fortunate
escape from a siege of that distressing
ailment. Mr. Stumm - is foreman of
Merrian's confectionery establishment.
Some months ago, on leaving the heated
work room to run across the street on an
errand, he was caught out in the rain.

owing to inflammatory rheumatism. He
was taken home, and on arrival was
placed .in front of a good .fire .and
thoroughly rubbed with Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. During the evening and
night he was repeatedly bathed with this
liniment, and by morning was relieved
of all rheumatic pains. He now takes
