He bad not seen any necessity for apologizing for any mistake made In tho predic tion. Now it Is said the other party is looking for a candidate. Htro is the first niesiueni of tne Ulilo so ciety ready at hand. A statesman himself, and the son of a statesman, and, if for any reason that name, Ewing, is not called, (hen, in the language of my frhnd Mr. Bennett, would like to know why not Calvin d. Brlce. Two states claim him, uud he is bright enough for the whole forty-four, The Ohio man continues to be prevalent. In the present cabinet, for Instance, out of seven members four are from Ohio. Wheu these four vote together and the president joins them, the rest of tho concern mutt feel lonely." In closing, Mr. Held paid he was happy to have escaped in apparent safety from public service, and made a heartfelt expression of most grate ful thanks. THE FALL ELECTIONS. Some Speculation on the Result in Rhcde Island. New Yokk, April 11. The Tri bune siivb: "From the East comes light. Little Rhode Island is large enough to deal the free traders a stunning Llow. The Ippe that 'Cleveland and reform' will carry the Eastern states is burioi under a plurality of 2070 In a sm ill state, where the Democrats had a plurality of 4419 in 1889. In the light of re cent events a presidential estimate of some yulue can bo made of this election. The new ippolntment gives to the South 159 electoral votes, to the East 117, and to the West 108, the total being 444, with l23 to elect. The South must retain all of its own votes, and secure 04 votes from the North; but If the South carries New York with SO votes, New Jersey with 10, Connecticut with 0, and Indiana with 15, or 07 Northern votes in all, it will bo still in the minority, If It loses one small South ern state as West Virginia with 6 votes, or Florida with 4. If Con nectlcut, New York, New Jersey, Indiana, Iowa und Montana be classed as questionable with their 83 electoral votes, It follows that the Democrats might elect If they could carry all these uud prevent a loss of more than 18 votrs In the South, but the chuuee thut all these- Northern states can be carried by the Demo crats seems decidedly smaller than tho chanco that tho Alhanoa will cost them more than 18 Southern votes." HAS DONE HIS DUTY. Appraiser Shaen, of San Frjn cisco, Is Not Aft aid. New Yobic, April 11 A corres pondent saw Jacob Shaen, asls-tiu( appraiser of Sau Francisco. Ho is hero to attend a meeting of local appraisers, whloh Is to bo held next Tuesday. When Shaen was asked about tho trouble Iu tho custom house In Sau Francisco he did not seem worried, and tieated subject very lightly. In conversation with him, tho impression ho left on the listener's mind was that he had no fear of being removed. He hud Just returned from Washington, but while there tho subject of his dis missal wus not mentioned to him. "The first direct report of any trouble In tho San Francisco custom house," ho b lid, "reached mo today, I received a telegram from a friend there which stated a San Francisco paper said I was to bo removed, aud thut I was in Washington squaring up my accounts. Now, I want It understood by my friends and ene mies ulike that I fear nothing, for there is certainly no trouble In my department. Tbore may bo something wioug In others than mine, but I don't know anything about It, I have nothing to do with woolens, dry goods or luces. When 1 loft home everything was all right. Tho reason why I am here uow Is because I received order from the secretary of the treasury tocomoou mid attend the anuual meeting of the local appraisers, which will take lace next Tues day. I arrived a few days earlier to learn about some changes In the prices of imported goods. It Is very singular that Assistant Treasurer Bpauldlug, with whom I wus closeted for some time Saturday iu his office In Washington, did not mention the snbject of tho trouble out there to me. Next, however, I will say to the treasurer thut 1 situ ready to show my books nny ilino if be has any suspicion of wrongdoing. I don't think there Is any cbanco of my being removed for cause. I don't admire my position very much, but I will do my duty while I hold It." Wantsd a Dam Site. Pikenix, Ariz., April 11.

Yesterday King ordered the party to quit work at the point of u rille, which they did. Tho latter insisted upon them leav ing their camp and upon their refus ing fired several shots, none taking effect. The camp cook, named Crum, returned the fire, hitting King in botli legs. He was brought to the city in a precarious condition and it is thought he w ill die. Crum is under arrest aud It is likely a bit ter feud will follow for tho posses sion of Dam Site.

Malheur county, say the killing of William Humbert by Bailey Bros, was a cold blooded murder, The trouble began at tho Democratic primaries, neiq baturuay. Tne contest was close and exciting. Considerable whisky was consumed and bad blood soon commenced to crop out. At one time two of the contestants for delegates w ere a tie, one being one of the Bailey Bros., who Intercepted Wm. Humbert, ubo attempted to vote, hot w ords followed, and in a few minutes Humbert started for home. Shortly after one of the Bailey boys said he had been cut on the arm by Humbert. A brief con ference was held aud one of the sjaug suggested that it would be the proper thiu to overtake him and kill him. Five of the number at once mounted their horses and started to carry out their murderous threats. When Humbert had arrived within a shot t distance from his homo he was overtaken by the Bailey boys who were on swift horses and, it is alleged they riddled him with bullets, four shots taking effect iu the back. Humbert's little daughter saw the shooting and ran to her father, but was too late to see him alive.
