Tbb city campaign may now said to be fairly on. and yet the voice of one Wat. McPbeeters is still shrouded ia deep and direful silence.

Tbe republicans of tho Third ward couldn't find anyone willing to sacrifice himself for the good of the party, and no Domination was made for aldermen. The Bloody Third" will be solidly democrat ic this year. J. Alxz Montgomery knocked the re doubtable Capt. Koehler clear out of the ring in the Fifth ward caucus Tuesday night. ThU" would seem to indicate that rotation in office is applicable to the city clerkship as well as other offices, and that Koehler will have to drop the plum he has so long; enjoyed. It looks as though Fiebig bad the call for the collector-ship in the republican camp. He bails from the Fourth ward where the republican machine revolves on its axis in a never-ceasing whirl. When the Fourth ward republicans got "sot" in a certain direction, they gener ally "get there." This ia meant as a gentle bint to the hundred or two other candidates for this plum, that Fiebig is about to collar the swa. The house of representatives of Illi nois yesterday passed Crawford's stock yard bill by a vote of 08 to 27. The Alt ars printed the provisions of the bill at the time of its introduction, which makes considerable reduction in the price ot slaughtering at the Union stock yards near Chicago. It has taken Bro. Craw ford a good while to get to the front, but the Arqds takes pleasure in noting the fact that be has finally "got thar." Hamper's VTetk'y, which, for a quarter of a century, was the most influential or gan of the republican party, has this com mendation of the late democratic admin istration: "It has demonstrated the fact that while the democratic party counts nearly as many adherens as the republi can, it is not a revolutionary party, and that the union and the government are perfectly safe under democratic ascend ency. After a prolonged civil convul sion, with all tbe changes wrought by it, this Is a result of immense significance. It has taken from our political contro versies tbe unreasonable apprehension that the success of a party embracing half of the people threatens the existence of the government Itself and has thus tended effectively to restore the political conten tions of the country to their normal con ditions. Still further, these four years have shown the advantage of a vigorous personality in tbe presidency, the ability to resist the strongest tendency of the government by party, which is toward the practical annihilation of executive individuality."

Stocked but Resigned The Situation in the Fuller and Aubery Families. PARDON AWAITS THE EUUAVATS. Cupid Is a Small Deity, but Ha Generally "Gets There," la Spite of Rough Koad Beginning of the Romance That Took on Reality at Milwaukee Tnmday Pater and Mater Aubery Interviewed The Chief Jostlo Declines to Talk, but Mrs. Fuller's Heart and Arms Are) Open to the Young Wife. CniCAOO, Mar;h 21. The news contained In the telegram in tbose disiiatehes yesterday reporting tbe elojieiiieiit and marriage of Miss Paulina Fuller, tha 19-year-old daughter of Chief Justice Fuller, of the United States supreme court, to Mr. J. Matt Aubery, only ion of J. M. Aubery, of this city, created a eoiuiuotion in society circles in tbia city TOl'NO A f BERT'S BRIDK. which has nut been equalled in a long time. The young couple are now at tha Plaukiiiton housa, Milwaukee, where they will remain for a time. The romance began on Oet. 81, 1887, at the home of Mi Fuller, where a Halloween party was in progress. Among the guests was young Aubrey, until then unknown to the dashing brunette. Autre, who is about 23 years old, of rather at tractive appearance and withal a very inter esting young gentleman, was presented to Pauline. At tbe first contact of their glances a spark of love flashed out which ended in Tuesday's escapade. Their mutual admira tion was noticed from the first, and, as neither took paiDs to dixguise it, caused general com ment. They were always to be seen together, and every one iu the extensive circle of their acquaintances looked upon a marriage as a foregone conclusion. It subsequently trans pired, wheu the tide of their love seemed at the flood, that Pauline's mother entertained serious objections to her daughter marrying young Aubrey. It was not that there was any personal objection to him, but Mrs. Ful ler, with the natural disinclination to part with her daughter, opposed the match. V batever may have been the ground of Mrs. Fuller's objections, however, It was sufllcient to add new satisfaction to ber bus band's elevation to the supreme bench of the United States, as that necessitated removal from Chicago, and it is said the lady hoped that new scenes and new faces would obliter ate the impression made upou her daughter's TOUNQ AITBERT liUfnKI.V. heart by young Aubery. Tbe chief Jus tice himself is believed to have been not averse to the match if It was bis daughter's choice, of which there was no doubt, and It was also said that Miss Pauline had a will of ber own, and being of age had no hesita tion in expressing it, and that will was to marry ber lover, come what might. Tbe pleasures of tbe capital did not strange the affections of Pauline, and she evidently didn't care much for the society ot high official life, for on Jan. 1 she packed her trunks and came to Chicago for a visit. She went first to the home of William L. Ogden, 40 Thirty-fifth street, whose daugh ter Carrie is one of Pauline's intimate friends. There she remained a month, and then went to visit another chum, pretty Mamie Cos sens, of 3,737 Langley avenue. With Miss Cozaens she remained until March 1, when she went to visit Hattie Smith, atb,011 Grand boulevard. On Sunday "last Pauline announced that she intended to return to Washington, and should leave at 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon on the Fort Wayne, and asked several of her young friends to be there and bid her good-bye. Tuesday morn ing Pauline told the Smiths that she would spend tbe afternoon with a friend on the north aide, and expected to return to supper. If she did not, however, the Smiths were not to be alarmed, as she would have escort home in' the evening. Instead of going to the north side, Pauline met young Aubery at Ountber's candy store, and was driven by him to the Milwaukee & St Paul station, where the afternoon train was taken for the Cream -City. Arriving there, they registered at the Kirby, remain ing until 9 o'clock in the parlors. Young Aubery then asked the clerk for direction to a justice of the peace, and was referred to Justice Gregory. The magistrate was visit ed, and the wedding took place in short or der as already related, his honor nut know lng until afterward that he had been officiat ing at the nuptials of a daughter of the chief justice of the United States. Mrs. J. Matt Aubery, Jr., nee Pauline Ful ler, is tbe fifth daughter of Chief Justice Fuller, and will be IV years old next June, 8he has always been conspicuous in the south side circle bi which she has moved for her at tractive presence, agreeable manners and vi vacious deportment Neither of the words blonde or brunette would exactly describe her style of beauty. She is the posses-tor ef regular features, a fair complexion, expres sive eyes and mouth, and a figure that has ever been the despair of her own sex and the admiration of the opposite one. The young lady is famous among her friends for ber taste in dress, and ber striking toilets have never failed to excite the wonder and ad miration of those who have enjoyed tbe privilege of a view of them. J. Matt Aubery, Jr., is 23 years old. In personal appearance he ia .not at all bad looking, above medium height, erect, and rather broad-shouldered. He has a smooth face, framed with a copious growth of dark hair. He has an interesting nose, of consid erable prominence aad a large mouth. He is what is known as a "lively bey," a member of tbe Carleton club, and though not what is called a popular fellow, is on very good terms with everybody except Mrs. Fuller. In bis business be is of good habits, and if he has half a show will make a mark as well as a name in the world. Mr. Aubery pare was seen yesterday, and said the event took his breath away not that he did not know that bis son was badly "gone" on Miss Fuller, bu , be had no idea the young man would take such radical measures to make sure of hist ride. He was in Milwau kee himself Tue ay, but came home that evening, and, of course, did aot know of the presence of Matt and his sweetheart in the Cream City. "1 feel pretty bad about It," continued the father. "He's my c nly son, and a good boy at that, and we have teen very proud and fond of him, hoping to kee him with ns a long time yet. I regret the atf Mr more, however, because of its sensational character. The objections made to the marriage by Miss Fuller's parents were by no means serious, aa I understood it They merely thought their daughter and my son too young to marry just yet aad myself and wife thought so, too, and we wanted the unlc a put off for a year or two, but it seems the yc ung folks had a different mind about it; at lst they are married, and we've got to make the best of it Naturally, I'm proud of the co inection. My son's wife is not only the daughter of a good family, she is a beautiful, accomplished, and amiable girl, entirely suited In asteand ambition to my boy, with whom she has chosen to cast her lot In life.'' Mrs. Aubery wat not less disturbed than her husband. She had doubtless taken a good, motherly cry over the escapade of her boy, however, and was therefore rather more resigned than her husband, who was any thing but merry. "Why, I never drt araed of this elopement," said Mrs. Aubery. -'It ia dreadful, and 1 don't know what to say. But it really wasn't right for my son to do U Is. It wasn't neo -ssary, and it will mae Miw Fuller's parents feel so much hurt that tlie marriage took place in this Irregular way. I suppose they arranged the matter sever: days ago. Any how, they're married, and while I am proud of the oholce my son has n ade she is awonderf oily sweet ana loveable ifirl and wholly devoted to him I am cbagrlnel that the union has been consummated in a manner so out of the or dinary and proper v ay." The only communications so far received by any one in this city direct from the inter ested people were a telegram from Mrs. Au bery, Jr., to a frier d briefly telling her to have no anxiety on her account, and signed "Mrs. Pauline Aubtry"; a telegram from the young husband as follows: "I was married to-night A letter to-morrow. Matt," and the following received by W. M. Booth, of the law firm of Booth, Gregory & Harlan, from Chief Justice Fuller: What do you know of Pauline's elopement? Is It true r What cs n be done 7 M. W. Fuller. A reply was sent closing with: Nothlugcan be done unless by legal proceed ing's. A. M. Booth. A telegram from Milwaukee relates an in terview with young Aubery, in which he said that he and his afflaaced felt that Mrs. Ful ler would never oonnt to the marriags, the mother being ambitious for a more distin guished match for bar daughter, and so they concluded to take tie matter into their own hands. He would stay in Milwaukee until he heard from the chief justice, who had been duly telegraph xi, and thought forgive ness would not long be delayed. Said he: "I have been receit iug congratulatory mes sages all day. I ha1 one from my folks this morning. They art, satisfied. No, I have not heard from Waihington yet It is hard ly time." "That looks bad, doesn't itr "Oh, uo. I think it will be all right in time," ami with this bit of philosophy the husband edged diagonally across the corri dor, where some on was waiting. Mr. and Mrs. Aulery remained in their room at Milwaukee most of yesterday. The former has relatives there. He is a nephew of "Doc" C. M. Aubery, a well-known resi dent He knew nettling of the escapade until he read the nev-s in tbe day's papers. THE CHIEF JUSTICE AND WIFE. They Are ProfounJIy Shocked, but Will Welcome the Runaways. Wasdinotojj Ch y, March 21. The re port that Miss Pauline Fuller, daughter of Chief Justice Fuller, had eloped reached the capital about 1 o'clock yesterday, and pro duced a profound sensation. Mrs. Fuller was the first to brit g the news to the chief justice. She came hurriedly in a carriage, arriving after he bai taken his seat on the supreme bench, and informed an attendant of her desire to see h m. He withdrew from the beuch and an Liter-view was bad. Of course nothing is known as to the de tails of the interview, and Mrs. Full er withdrew from tbe capitol hastily without speaking of tbe matter to anybody. The chief justice risumed his seat on tbe bench, and pursued his duties with a very grave countenance. He has only spoken to one or two of his olesest friends on the sub ject, and they are entirely reticent, saying in reply to questions that nothing can be said about it Mrs. Fuller made a brief statement last evening. She said t Sat she was at a loss to understand her daughter's conduct There was no necessity for an elopement If she had said ?he wanted to marry, there would have been no oppos tiou. She and ber bus band would be welcome at ber father's home. Mrs. Fuller said further that her heart and that of the chief just oe, and those of tbe fam ily aa wall, were aa f ill of love for the daugh ter as ever. Naught eould remove that. If Mrs. Aubery (nee Fuller) could have seen her mother and beard hsr when she said this she would have supplicated her forgiveness. The consideration shown the chief justice and his family in this city on account of this news is respeotf ully profound, and the general expres sion is that whatever there is of a sensational eharacter in the affidr may speedily disap pear and be forgotten, and that tbe family, which occupies the viiry pinnacle of social es teem, may be united and happy. Chief Justice Fuller refused to say anything to any one yesterday regarding the affair. The Ea-Presllent In Florida. St. AuoceTlNI, 71a, March 21.

As this will be necessary if tie Chicago drainage bill peases, this action Is a point in favor of the lat ter bilL By a vote of 12 to 18 Berry's anti pool bill was rejected and a motion to recon sider was later defea red 18 to 18. The gov ernor's appointments were then con firmed in executive session. Bills repealing the act ceding locks and dams in Illinois river, and requiring appli cants for admisssion to the Soldiers' Home to have resided two years in the state were passed. During consideration of the general appropriation bill fihumway objected to $7,000 for the fish commission. He thought it was very foolish t pay the fish commis sioners so much money to put little fishes in the streams of the sta and have them swim down Into the Mississippi to feed the whole country. The objection was in vain Tbe house took tp the bill to regulate charges at stock yard t, and about sixty peti tions from granger ledges were read, asking its passage. It posset 96 to 27. The reso lution for an inves igatien of militia ex penses then came -up, and the pending ques tions when the house adjourned Tuesday a motion to table a notion to indefinitely postpone was decided in the negative.

Washington Crrv, March 8L Fred Orant and John C. New had tbe satisfaction of seeing their names on the list of lucky ones yesterday. The nominations to positions dip lomatic were as follows: Frederick D. Orant, of New York, to be envoy extraordinary and minister plenipo tentiary of the United States to Austria Hungary. John C. New, of Indiana, to be consul gen eral of the United States at London. Paul Fricke, of Texas, was nominated to be United States marshal for tbe western Texas district and Seligman Bros., London, England, to be special fiscal agents of the navy department at London. Tbe other names sent to tbe senate were naval pro motions. The confirmations by the senate iucluded the following: John W. Mason, of West Virginia, commissioner of internal revenue; William L. J)unlap, marshal of Indiana; John 8. Burton, marshal of the northern dis trict of Misxiasippi; Budd Deacon, marshal New Jersey; Charles E. Mitchell, Connec ticut, commissioner of patents; and the fol lowing postmasters: Joseph C. . Bartlett, Lake City, Minn. ; Joseph V. Campbell, Nor man, Minn. There is a current report that the president has requested tbe senators from several states, including Illinois, to submit tbe names of one or more persons from their respective states from which be may select a .nominee for the English mission. He did not make this request in person, but he did it as cer tainly as if it had come from his own lips. It is said that the man whom he had "in mind for that place" when Secretary Blaine secretly urged the nomination of Mr. Reid has declined with thanks on account of the pressure of important private business which he can not afford to neglect. Tbe ru mors that Blaine will, after all, be sent to England continue to be pretty thick, but thiy are only rumors, and can be traced to no authoritative source. One of the Illinois senators was seen last nilit, and was in a much better humor with tbe outlook. He was a-ktyl: "What are Illinois' chances to-morrow for a nomination)' "Good. Cullom and I called to-day and were told if we would name a man he could have a certain place " "Did you name himf' -We did." "Who is he, and for what!" "I must decline to tell you." "If the name is sent in to-morrow what dif ference does it maker "I am not sure it will be sent in to-morrow, and if the place were mentioned there would be a thousand Illinoisans in town before to morrow night" Secretary Windom is said to ba authority for the statement that there will be no change in theofliee of United States treasurer, now held by J. W. Hyatt, before the end of the present fiscal year June 80. It is under stood that Joseph U. Huston, of Indiana, has been promised the office when it becomes va cant A telegram from from New York says that a gentleman of that city stated at a dinner party a few days ago that in conversation with the prsidnt he gave his idea of a man for the English mission. "I want," said the president, "a man who will tie the equal of Charles Francis Adams, John I-athrop Motley, aud James Russell Lowell in culture and social qualifications. Heshouldbe a good lawyeras well as a states man, and he ought to be a man of wealth, too." "Have you any one in your mind, Mr. President ?'' asked the gentleman I have," replied the president "I have a man who posses) all these requirements. " The man is declared to be Chauncey M. Dopow, who, it is also declared has already declinedj tbe plaue as well aaa . place in the cabinet There was a crush oi visitors at tbe White House yesterday, including senators, repre sentatives, and delegations of citizens with a desire for somebody's appointment Fred Douglass headed one delegation of colored men, who wanted ex-Representative Hasie tou to be made a Distrtot commissioner, and another negro delegation was solid for Perry Carson to be recorder of deeds for the Dis trict Thnre was a publio reception at 1 p. ru., at which the feature was a body of Irish Americaus who had done service during the last campaign on the stump. Among these were Gen. O'Beirne, of New York; CoL John F. Scanlan, of Chicago; Capt Michael Pick ett, of Quincy, Ills.;Dr. Donahue, surgeon general of the Grand Army, and T. F. Ryan, of Indianapolis. These gentlemen were ac corded a short interview with the president after tbe crowd bad passed out From all indications the nomination of Whitelaw Reid to be minister to France will not go through the senate unscathed. Demo cratic senators have announoed their Inten tion of delaying confirmation if possible, until they can make some feeling remarks about Mr. Raid and The New York Tribune. Thereis no doubt that the nomination will be confirmed eventually. Mr. Wanamaker has a special telegraph wire running from his business establish ment in Philadelphia directly to his office in the postoffice department By this means he is kept informed of what is being done in Philadelphia, and can be consulted at any moment. Lewis Wolfley, recently nominated for governor of Arizona by President Har rison, received information yesterday that the Republican members ot the Ariaona legislature had forwarded to the president a unanimous indorsement of his nomination. NICARAGUA CANAL IN PLASTER. Perfect Model of the -Country Through Which the Big Ditch Will Pass. Washington Citt, March 21. Promoters and engineers connected with tbe Nicara guan canal have completed a remarkable model of theanal in plaster of paria, which has been on exhibition here for the past two days. It has attracted a great deal of atten tion, and has been inspected by a large num ber of prominent officials, army and navy and engineer officers. The model, thirty feet long and five feet wide, is an accurate rep resentation, as shown by recent surveys of the country through which the canal is to be constructed. A. C. Cheney, of New York, president of the Canal Construction company, who has been in Washington City for several days, says work will be begun at Oreytown, on the eastern side, where the harbor approaches have to be deepened, and a railroad has to be built across the swampy land ten miles into the interior, and where, on the uplands, the company proposes to build quarters for their workmen, using the railroad to convey the men to and from their work in tbe harbor to their homes.

A Yale Professor's Vote for Cleveland Bars His Appointment. Nw York, March 21. A special dis patch from New Haven to Tha Times says: The advisability of appointing Prof. Artbur T. Hadley, of Yale, a member of the inter state commission to succeed A. F Walker, resigned, has been under oi moderation by the administration at Washington, and a day or two ago one of tbe leading managers of the Republican party in New Haven, acting, doubtless, under instructions, called upon tbe professor to ascertain whether, at the last election be voted for Mr. Harrison or Mr. Cleveland. The professor answered that he voted for Cleveland. Mr. Walker is a Re publican. According to the intor-state commerce act whenever there is a vacancy in tbe board tbe candidate must come from the same po litical party as that to which the retiring member belonged. It is understood that Mr. Hadley was a Republican until the nom ination of Blaine in 16M4, but it is generally believed that bis vote against Harrison wyj be an insurmountable obstacle to his ap pointment to succeed Mr. Walker, although be has been strongly indorsed by tbe press of New England. Neither be uor tbe gentle man who called upon him has since heard a wold as to tho administration's conclusions, and this is regarded as indicating that Yale is not to bo honored by this appointment Call It b " Killing" in Kentucky.
