SURE OF HISHOMIHftTIQH
McKinley's Friends Looking Well
Into the Future.
CHOOSING HIS ADVISERS
So Certain Are They That He 'Will
Succeed Cleveland They Are Nuni
HK ttin Members of IIIh Cabinet.
l)eiew "WlUlle AHked to Accept the
SecretaryMlilii of Mute.
No unc ever accused an Olilo man of shy
ness when it came to seeking an (iff ice. As
much as it mas appear like counting chick
ens before tliey are liatclied, the Buckeye
contingent In Washington arc already par
celing out the fat places for "President"
McKinley.
Every Oliinan here is thoroughly imbued
with the idea that McKiuley Ik going to
walk orr with the nomination, and are
equally certain that he mill be elected. It
is for that reason tlial they are at this
time engaged in Cabinet making.
DETEW IN THE CABINET.
For Just once, tin-, by common con
sent, give the Secretaryship of Stale to
Chaunccj M. Bcpcw, or in the event he de
clines to Charles Emory Smith cf Penn
sylvania. Senator -Allison is lo get the Treasury
portfolio If he wants it, while Gen.
Urosvcuoris to Lc Attorney General, Qcn.
AlgcrSccrelar of War and Senator Thurs
loci Secretary of the Interior. Various
names are suggested Tor the other Cabinet
positions.
It is a certainty that Mark Ilanna could
have u place in the Cabinet ir he wanted
It, but his mends streneously assert that
he would not accept any sort of office.
He is working in the interest of McKiuIe-s
nomination and election purely out of
friendship, and that alone.
JUSTICE FIELD TO RETIRE.
Another plan which the McKiuley man
ngcrshaveln mind in thceentof winning
is to induce Justice Field of the United
States Supreme Court to retire. It Is a
well-known fact that Justice Field is
anxious to Ienc I lie bench, but he will not
do so as long as Mr. CItv eland Is President.
Justice Field dislikes the President and
does not wish to give him the satisfaction
of naming his bucccssor, although he would
be, like himself, a Democrat.
ihuiinis McDougal of Cincinnati is
slated 'for Justice Field's place in the
event the latter retires. The latter, man
years ago, was eligible to retirement on
account of reaching the age limit.
Mr. McDougal is one of the ablest la wyers
in Ohio and is Mini to be eminently fitted to
wear the ermine.
GUOSVENOIl WANTS TO BE SPEAKER.
Gen Grosvenor's friends say that if he
lias a rcaMiiMhlc show to be elected
Speaker of the Flftj -fifth Congress he will
not want a Cabinet place. With Grosvcnor
out of the way Ohio's next choice for the
Cabinet would be Judge A. C. Thompson,
for many years a member of Congress.
Judge Thompson is one of Mark Ha una 's
ablest lieutenants.
Ex-Congressman Bellamy Storer of Cin
cinnati is slated for ambassador to Paris.
Mr. Storer served ons term in the House,
but failed of a renoinination. During his
Congressional career l.e took great interest
In foreign affairs, and Is ambitious to rep
resent ids country .it some big court abroad.
He vv 111 probably have his ambition gratified
If William McKiuley is nominated and elect
ed President of the United States.

Last Week Itecuvored.
Baron Mugrl, the diminutive showman,
against whose crfectsan attachment was
issued Saturday, will appear before an
audience In Wilmington, Del., tonight, but
before he departed this afternoon he sued
the marshal of the District on a writ of
replevin to recover his goods.
The Ledger Job Officio of Philadelphia
sued Count Magri, brother of thebaron, last
Saturday, to recover a. note of over $100,
claimed to be due on a printing bill. Dep
uty marshals levied on the goods of the com
pany of Lilliputians, then playing at Allen's
Grand Opera House, and carried off a great
er part of the wardrobes of the little io
ple. together with the fairy team of ponies
and Que-en Mali's carriage. The latter
waskept by the marshal ocr Sunday.
Baron Magrl appeared at the city hall
today, and through his counsel, Ed Hay,

rested on nikph lun of having murdered his

Miss Daisy .Miller, at Hill Top,
Charles county. Mil., is bjfcly conrincd in
the jail at Baltimore. It Is doubtful if he
will ever be tried In Charles county, owing
to the feeling against him.
When it became known, late Saturday
night, that the officials intended removing
Coeklng to llaltimorc by way of Gljmunt
the majority of the would-be lynchers ar-
Mi Miller.
ranged to go to the latter place, and jes
terday morning, while the funeral of the
ictlms was In progress, they were ljmg
In wait at aijmoiit for the appearance of
Cocking and the Sheriff. It was the pur
pose to take the 12 o'clock boat from Glj
mont, and the men w jited until the vessel
had arricd and departed before they real
ized that the suspected murderer was not
to bebroughtto thericr. Tbey then made
all possible sp'eed back to Hill Top, but ar
rived arter the finding of the Jury and the
departure of Cocking for La Plata, in the
custod) of Sheriff Wade.
They hoped that Cocking would be con
fined In Port Tobacco Jail, which it Is
necessary to pass on the way to La Plata.
Cocking had feared this also, and had re
quested not to be put there. His request
was complied with, and lie was conejed
to the hotel of Capt. Datld Smoot. at La
Plata. There in a little baik room on the
second noor or the building. Cocking was
confined.
THE OUAKI) WAS CARELESS.
Confined in one sense, and jet at per
feet liberty. Had the people deslre-d, they
could have he-cured him almost any time
Mm. Cocking.
In the night, but the gang which followed
to Port Tobacco evidently did not relish
the guard of deputies consisting of news
paper men, officials, and business men of
La Plata, aud for some reason did not
continue their journey to La Flata.
But there was really nothing to fear from
the guard around the prisoner. At many
times during the night be was entirely
alone, while some of those who were
supposed to guard him were on the first
floor of the building telling stories or
engrossed in a game of cards. It was
about midnight that Sheriff Wade turned
bis charge ocr to the deputy sheriff and
drove to his home, beyond Port Tobacco.
Later the deputy sheriff turned Cocking
over to a man named Medley, who some
hours afterward went down stairs and
left the prisoner alone in the room and
the door unlocked.
The guarding of Cocking was a perfect
farce. Detective Gault had no charge of
th prisoner whatever, he being In the
sberUTs custody. Medley must have been
down stairs some time, because about 4
o'clock this morning lie was startled by
the appearance of Cocking la the room be
hind the bar. Cocking said he was tired
of being upstairs alone and preferred the
company of the men.
TURNED OVER TO A DETECTIVE.
Games of cards wblled away the hours.
Cocking being an Interested spectator. This
mornlnghe went about at will and there
was quite a little scene in the room of the
hotel when Detective Gault, seeing tbe
carelessness of the deputy, called his at
tention to Cocking's freedom. Medley re
plied sharply, but continued to allow the
man to go wberehepleased. This negligence

PLAYING A WAITING GAME
Harrison's Friends Ready to Present
His Uame to the Convention.
I'lult and tint Other Leaders Said to
Prefer the Ho'wlrr Stutesniun
to McKiuley.
Major McKiuley 's enemies nrc still pro
claiming that if he is Lot nominated on the
rlrst ballot he will not be nominated at all,
but they do not say who t he fortunate man
will be. Tor many days past the friends of
Gen. Harrison have Insisted that he will
walk orr with the plum in case McKlnley is
thrown overboard.
A story Is out that Piatt, Clarkson, Quay
and Manley have been warming up to the
ex-Pretldent lately, and will supixjrt him
ir it is round that he is the only man who
can beat the great protectionist. With
theinltisanjhodytodownMcKlnlcy. While
they do not love Harrison they seem to
think, so it Is said, that they would rare
better at his hands in the way of Federal
patronage than they would under McKiu
ley. The rour big leaders named are not in
politics for the fun of the thing, anil It Is
reasonable to suppose that they would pre
rera man ror President who would. In case
or success, give them a part or what the
late Samuel J. Tdden called the "usurruct
or victory" otherwise, part ot the spoils.
The Met that Mark Ilanna has denounced
the Quays, the Platts, the Mauleysand the
Clarksous as political brigands leads those
gentlemen to lielieve that McKinley's elec
tion would mean their consignment to the
tureen.
Indiana Republicans now In the city say
the Harrison delegation will be ready at a
moment's notice to spring their man on the
conve ntloft, in case there Is a possibility,
at any stage or the balloting, to secure his
nomination.
They willset uplieadquartersatSt.Louis
and lie prepared to receive company at all
hours or tlieday and night, and to advance
arguments in favor or the selection of their
nun. Harrison buttons are being manu
factured by the ton. and Harrison Clubs
will lie on hand In the Mound City. Juet as
they were at Chicago in '88, and at Minne

New Fork, April 27. The Tribune Ibis
morning prints the following interview
with Senator John Sherman of Ohio, who
arrived at the Fifth Avenue Hotel tast
evening:
"Will Gen. Harrison be a candidate for
nomination by the St. Louis ecu vent ion?"
Mr. Sherman was asked.
"Not If he Is an honorable man," replied
the venerable Senator, grimly. "There
is honor among thieves, it is said. Tl ere
should be some among Presidential candi
dates. Why, Gen. Harrison has declined
to be a candidate."
"Is not Mr. Harrison's case similar lo
James G. Blulue's when he decliiutl the
nomination in 1868 in his Flcrence letter?"
"Notatall,"wastheanswer. "Mr.Dlaine
was not in any sense a candidate, either in
1888 or lfe92. He rerused to be considered
assuch. It was dim-rent in 18.S4. Thenhe
was an out-and-out candidate and was
nominated."
thinks Mckinley will win. .-
"What do you think or McKinley's
chances? Will he be nominati don Ihe
flrst-ballot?"
"I do not know whether he will be nomi
nated on the first ballot or not. but I
think he will be nominated and elected."
Senator Sherman said.
"Is there any truth in the reports that
you will be Secretary of the Treasury again
ir McKinley Is elected?"
"I know nothing about that." replied the
Senator. "There Is no foundation for such
stories. IT Mr. McKinley has not sufficient
wisdom to accept the nomination without
conditions, he is not fit to be President."
Mr. Sherman said that as far as he could
sec. the friends or Senator Culioin will
not be able to hold the delegatin from his
Slate, but the Illinois vote in the conven
tion will be cast for McKinley.
"What have you to say of the platform
the Republicans will adopt at St Louis?"
WILL DECLARE FOR SOUND MONEY.
"The attitude of tbe Republican party
is well known," said the Senator. "It
will declare for sound money and protec
tion It Is quite probable that the Demo
cratic platform will stand In the opposite
direction."
"Will the tariff plank suggest the en
actment of a McKinley or high tariff?"
"I think It will do this." answered Mr.
Sherman. "It will demand a tarirt suf
ficient to protect American industries, and
give enough revenue for the eJtpen.es of
the government, neither or which the Demo
cratic tariff has done."
"Mr. -Sherman said he thought Congress
would adjourn about June Land that there
would he no more important legislation tins

The Times does not believe
that any Washington merchant,
simply because he happens to
use any other medium than its
columns, is foolish and throws
his money away. AH adver
tising mediums are good.
Some, though, are better than
others. The Ti.mes affords the
business men of Washington
the best opportunity to reach
the greater number of readers
and it is gratifying to state that
a large percentage of these ad
vertisers realize the situation
and are taking advantage of it
Those who fail to do so, are nol
necessarily foolish, merely mis
guided.
