Tlie Jack son flub, of Columbus, Refuses to Boom David B. Hill BLALNE XOT IN THE OHIO STRUGGLE TSrECIAI. Tn-XORAM TO THE msrATcn. Topeka, Dec. 22. The persistent refusal of Governor Humphrey to talk with any one concerning his intentions regarding the appointment of Senator Plumb's successor teriouslr complicate the situation. The Governor ill not even read the numerous letters and tclej:nms sent to him urging the appointment of particular men, and will not until Saturday. As a consequence, the ruo't knowing political prophets do not pretend to speak by the card M-hen ventur ing predictions as to the successful man. George 15. Peck, who has been promi nently mentioned in connection with the appointment, is not a candidate. Many of liis friends strongly urged him to permit his name to be presented to the Governor, and assured him that could his consent be gained there would be little doubt of his securing the place. Mr. Peck took the matter under ad visement, and communicated at once with Allen Manvel, president of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Hail road Company. UN Kailrord "Won't Let Hitn Go. Mr. Manvel advised him not to consider the question for a moment; that his services at this time were indispensable to the com pany, and to resist all attempts to influence him to accept the position. This decided Mr. Peck, and he at once informed his friends that under no circumstances must he be considered in the field. Mr. Peck has tnanv warm friends who are so anxious to see him launched on a Senatorial career that they are nlready planning to have him enter the csmraicn next summer and make the fight for the Senate in the Legislature. Major J. K. Hudson is being talked of frcly in connection with the Senatorship. There arc many prominent men in the party who believe him to be deserving of there ward which is now in the power of his party, through Governor Humphrey, to give him. Hudson has never held any office, and his Trends say has never asked for one. As editor of "the Capitol he has done excellent service for the Republicans, and his party loyalty is not doubted. It is asserted that his appointment would greatly strengthen the influence of his paper in next rear campaicrn, and that it would create ie-s dissension in party ranks than that of any other man mentioned. "ot Booming Himself Editorially. Should Major Hudson become an avowed candidate, as now seems certain, Governor Humphrev wou'd gain a friend by appoint ing him whose services would be of inesti mable value in his future political aspira tions. The Capitol has so far had nothing to say concerning the candidates mentioned as Senator Plumb's successor, and this silence is nc-epted as a certain indication that he intends to be an applicant for the position. 0 The report that Govenor Humphrev was seriously considering the claims of B. W. Perkins has caused many open expressions of criticism. Perkins' appointment would be accepted as a declaration that the Gov ernor intended to make the race for con gress in the Third district and desired to get his principal opponent out of the way. The general opinion is that such a step would, instead of improving Humphrey's chances, result in his certain defeat. Those opposed to Perkins will present this objec tion to him in due time. The Governor will be urged to make the appointment not later than Thursday of next week. INGALLS HO FSIEND OF HARBISON'S. The President Not Anxious for the Kansas Man to Be Returned. WASHINGTON, Dec 22. Special It is considered hardly possible that Ingalls' sharp and eloquent tongue will get back into the Senate ,by reason of Senator Plumb's sudden death not, at least, if President Harrison can prevent it. An old storT about Ingalls and Harrison is now re called. In the organization of a Territorial government in Oklahoma the Senator had a candidate from Kansas whose appointment he wanted to urge on the President, and he started for the "White House with that pur pose in mind. On the way he met a man whom he stopped to consult about the mat ter, as he was acquainted with the details of the case, and was informed that President Harrison had a friend of his own from Kansas that he intended to appoint to the place. "Is he a Republican?" asked Ingalls. "Yes," was the reply. "I don't see how that can be," rejoined the Senator. "I think I know every Re publican of any prominence in Kansas', and I don't know ot one that is a friend of Har rison's." K0T BOOMING SAYS HILL The Jackson Club, of Columbus, Denies it . Recent Rumor. Columbus, O., Dec 22. Special. The Jackson Club, the leading Democratic or ganization of Central Ohio, held a meeting to-night to complete arrangements for the 8th of January banquet, which this year they concluded to confine to State limits in theinvitation list Seme one made a suigestion a few days since, in connection with the forthcoming banquet, that the club was favorable to Hill for the Presidency, and this provoked a series of resolutions which were presented and adopted at the meeting to-night, by a unanimous ote, setting forth the club would refuse to he a vehicle to boom Mr. Hill for the Presidency, It is thought the resolutions emanated from the Governor's office, for the reason that Hill refused to aid Campbell in his recent campaign in Ohio.

Passengers From the Burning Abys sinia ArelJow Safe in Port, BROUGHT THERE BY THE SPREE. The Ship Afire at Both Ends Before the Peril Was Known. TROUBLE COMING IN IRELAND TO-DAY Southampton, Dec 22. The North German Lloyd steamer Spree, with the passengers and crew of the burned steamer Abyssinia on board, arrived here at a late hour to-night. The passengers aboard the Abyssinia first heard of the fire last Friday afternoon. The steamer was then on fire at both ends. Three hours afterward the steamer Spree was sighted, and she was asked to take off the Abyssinia's passengers and crew. The Spree immediately sent her boats to the rescue, and all on board were safely trans ferred to the Spree with the exception of one seaman, who jumped overboard and was drowned. As there was then not the slight est chance of saving the Abyssinia she was abandoned, and the Spree proceeded on her voyage. No Panic on the Burning Ship. Perfect discipline was maintained aboard the Abyssinia, and there was no excitement among the passengers on the discovery of the fire. The rescued passengers are full of graditude for the kindness with which they were treated by the captain ot the bpree, to whom they have presented a testimonial. The fire was discovered by the officers at noon on Friday. The flames had then gained such headway that they soon spread over the whole vessel. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is attributed to spontaneous combustion. All of the Abyssinia's passengers were landed here. The Abyssinia was 363 feet long, 42 feet beam and 34 feet depth of hold. Her gross tonnage was 3,651. She wasan iron boat, single screw with an engine capacity of 600. The Poorest of the Gulon Fleet; She had seven bulkheads; had an average speed of 13 knots an hour. Although regis tered at Lloyd's as first-class, she was con sidered the poorest of the Guion fleet, which includes the Alaska, Arizona and "Wyomiug. The value of the cargo is esti mated at 5750,000. The vessel was valued at $200,000, and was built for the Cunard line by the Thomp sons, of Glasgow, Scotland. She was rated as A 1, and was counted one of the Cunard Line's crack steamers at the time. In 1882 she was re-engined. For the past five years she has been running between "Vancouver, B. C, and Hongkong as one of the Cana dian Pacific Line steamers, and this was her first regular trip for the Guion Line since then. PUGNACIOUS PARNELLITES Give the McCarthyites at "Wnterford n Hot Physical Reception Davltt Hopes to "Win in His Enemy's Stronghold Healy's Assailant on Hand. Dublin, Dec 22. As the time draws near for the polling in the Waterford election, which will be held to-morrow, feeling on both sides runs higher and higher, and it will be a matter of congratu lation if somebody is not hurt before the polls are closed. Several prominent mem bers of both factious of the Irish Parli-meiitaryF-, oro-iit-rrnierrora, and among them is Michael O'Brien Dalton, the Par nellite who assaulted Timothy Healy. To-day Dalton met David Sheehy, M. P. for South Galway, who is in "Waterford sup porting the candidacy of Michael Davitt, the nominee of the McCarthyites. Dalton violently abused Sheehy, who retaliated in kino. A large crowd of supporters of John Redmond, the Parnellite candidate, gath ered about the two disputants, and lor a time it appeared as if the whole crowd would fall upon Mr. Sheehy. They threat ened him with all manner of bodily harm. and undoubtedly would have carried their threats into execution had it not been lor the police. James C. Flynn, M. P. for the Northern division of Cork county, and Thomas J. Condon, M P. for East Tipperary, also had a serious adventure with a mob of Par nellites. They were quietly passing along when they were set upon by a rabble, and for a few moments their predicament was a very serious one. They finally got away from their assailants and took refuge in the room of the McCarthyite election com mittee. The mob pursued them to the very doors, which they tried to force, but were unsuccessful The McCarthyites are acting together on the defensive, so far as their personal bat tles are concerned, but they claim that the balloting will show that they have carried the political war into the enemy's own country. A K0ST REMARKABLE THEFT. The Plaintiff in a Eibel Suit Steals Her Own Pearls to Save Her Brother. London', Dec 22. Sir Charles Russell, Q. C, the distinguished lawyer who was leading counsel for Mrs. Osborne, the plaintiff in the libel suit, has with drawn from the case, and the most extraordinary rumors are in circulation. The mysterious document handed to Sir Charles Saturday was a letter written to the Presiding Judge by Benjamin & Sons, the tailors. They said' that on February 23 last a lady asked a member of the firm to change the sum of 550 in gold into an equal sum in bank notes. The firm, not having that amount -of money in their safe, introduced the lady to the National and Provincial Bank's branch house in Picadilly. There she was accommodated with the 550 in bank notes. This sum, it will be remembered, was the price paid for the stolen pearls by Spink & Sons, the Bond street ie elers. This morning silence reigned when Sir Charles Russell, counsel for the plaintiff, arose and slowly announced that he was compelled to retire from further con nection with the case, and to ad mit that the jury must render a ver dict for the defendant. He said that the jury must find for the defendant, counsel must say that the ser"ous imputa tions made in court and out of court against Major Hargreaves, Mrs. Hargreaves and "another" understood to be Mr. Engle heart must be withdrawn, as there was no basis in truth upon which to found them. The jury confirmed this announcement. As the court was be ing cleared a rumor was circulated to the effect that Mrs.0 sborne stole the pearls in order to save her brother from disgrace, the latter being at the time in a state of desj cr ate indebtedness.. , TEE GERMAN 8CH00L QUESTION.

Special The steamer Keweenaw, from New York for San Francisco, has arrived from Val paraiso. One of her passengers, an En glishman named Edmunson, in the course of an interview to-day, said: "The treatment which American citizens receive at the hands of ihe Chileans is out rageous and wholly unwarranted. England would not stand it a week. I know what I am talking about, and what I say to you is authentic I have been going to and from Chile for years, and for the last year and a half I have resided in Valparaiso. You will be as tounded when I tell you that Chileans will actually spit in the faces of Americans on the streets. It's an actual fact. Resent it, and you will be beaten to death by a mob. "You surely can have no conception of the sneers; jeers and "insults heaped upon your citizens there. German, French, English and other foreign nations repre sented there have commented upon the state of affairs, and I know that had it been any of these nations Chile would have paid dearly for it, long ago. Prominent officials of Chile have no hesitancy in say ing they are perfectly willing the United States should declare war against them."
