John W. Foster as Secre- ' tary of State has been predicted in these dispatches, and pretty generally during the last ten days, it came to-day as something of a shock to the sensibilities of leading Bepublicans in and oat of Congress. President Harrison has usually been cau tions in his appointments, as he is fahly cautious in all his acts; bnt occasionally a high official has been chosen and retained in office after his repudiation by the public in the most unaccountable manner, and a con spicuous instance is that of General Green B. Baum, of the Pension Office. With a record so shady that he has stood ont as a glaring example of misuse of high position, Iianm has been supported constantly by the President, though Corporal Tanner, the former appointee, for a tithe of the mis deeds that have been charged against Baum, was ignominiously dismissed the service. Made the Ilostof Opportunities. Now Mr. John W. Poster is appointed to what is recognized as the highest place in the Cabinet Mr. Foster has been Minister to Mexico, to Russia and to Spain under different administrations, and has proved false to his country in all his career by im mediately accepting when ont of office the position of counsellor for foreign govern ments in their claims against the United ites, taking advantage of knowledge ained when he was the representative and idvocate of the United States. It has been well known here, though it has been referred to only vaguely, that Foster wriggled himself into the graces of the President, and actually. long months aco, thurst Blaine out of his position. Much of physical indisposition attributed to Blaine, and the queer rela tions that existed between him and the President for a year priorto his resignation, was due to the impudent interference of Mr. John W. Poster. Mr. Blaine was too proud to say one word to counteract the miserable gossip which Foster whispered into the ears of the President, describing the ambition and "treachery" of Blaine, and his purpose to secure the nomination for the Presidency this year for himself. Poisoned the President Against Blaine. Foster had the ear of the President con stantly. Many of the State papers in the. Chilean correspondence to which Blaine's name was signed, and whose phraseology was the wonder and speculation of those who knew the style of the man from Maine, were written by Foster and indorsed by the President. It is a good time to say that far from there being a "conspiracy" to defeat Harrison, there has been lor months a conspiracy be tween Harrison and Foster to kill off Blaine. It has been deliberate, well thought out, carried to a successful conclusion. As a final coap, Foster openly in sulted Blaine at the meeting of the Canadian Commissioners a meeting where his very presence was without precedent and insulting by a direct statement that the Secretary of State did not reflect the views of the President It was this, more than all else, that led the Secretary to send his resignation, so curt in tone, at a time which was peculiarly unfortunate for him which surprised Quay, Piatt, Fas sett and others of his supporters beyond measure, and which has been inexplicable until this time. TJnn'easant Truths to Come Oat The whole truth is yet to be known, but ,f mill A ..... ! A Al .3 mviuj uuk iii uuc utile, ana many things for which Socretary Blaine has been blamed by his best friends will have an explanation which will show the man who was nominated and so promptly con hrmed to-day to have been a snake in the grass hissing into the ear of a man who should have been too clever to have been his dupe, and now unaccountably appointed the diplomatic Minister oi tbe Government, is possibly an exception to this, as he has been for many yean employed as diplomatic agent under -various Secretaries. He has not been prominent of late, however, his last service being a member ot the Pan American Congress. Mr. Foster has been employed as a lawyer in international cases, having the United States Government or private citizens' claims against the Govern ment as his clients ever since Grant made him Minister to Mexico 23 years ago. He bos since been Minister to Bussia and Spain and has been almost constantly em ployed in the State Department for 20 years. Bach successive Secretary of State since the time of Hamilton Fish has seemed to ieel the need oi Mr. Foster's services and the great demand for thcra has proved what has often, been stated, that diplomacy is an unknown art among American lawyers and politicians. A Surprise In All Circles. But because a man is a successful and well-posted diplomatic agent Is not general ly regarded as a reason why he should be made a member of the Cabinet, and ibis is what causes surprise among the politicians in Washington. For the President to ap point two Cabinet officers from Indiana and 'neither of them of considerable influence and sagacity is thought to be a remarkable thing. Mr. Foster has been the confiden tial friend, adviser and co-worker of both President Harrison and Secretary Blaine since the beginning of the administration, and, except lor the legal advice of Secretary Tracy, has been the actual head of the State Department during the recent sicknesses and prolonged absences of Mr. Blaine. Bnt it would have been easy for the President to have retained his valuable services and put into the Cabinet a man who would help him politically in the coming fight ' A Republican Senator who stands close to the administration gave his colleagues an explanation of Mr. Harrison's action to-day Just before the nomination of Mr. Foster was confirmed. He said: "It does seem strange that Harrison should have chosen A Man Without Political Influence to be the Premier of his Cabinet, bnt he did so solely for the reason that he intends to devote nearly all of his time from now on until November to his campaign for re election, ana ne aesired to have at the head of his State Department a man thoroughly acquainted with its policy and its routine, so that the President when absent from the citv or engrossed in political work could ieel absolutely confident that his foreign department was in capable and trustworthy hands. Therefore he sets precedent aside, turned down the Republicans who had can didates and selected the man of his choice." In Washington, where Mr. Foster is well known, there will be little criticism of his appointment, except on the score that politically he will not strengthen his party, lie is an affable, approachable man, kindly and assuming by nature, and very prompt and business-like in his methods. In per sonal appearance Mr. Foster is tall and slender, with thick, snow-white hair and bushy white side whiskers and mustache. He is an active member of the Presbyterian Church, and lives with his family in the large double house on I street, which he has owned for many years, and which, during his absence in Mexico, was the residence of Judge Greham. An Act Alraoit Without Precedent The action' ot the Senate in confirming the nomination of Mr. Foster almost im mediately upon its reception and without reference to the Foreign Belations Com mittee is almost without precedent, as here tofore it has been customary to reserve this honor for Senators in active service who are nominated for office. John W. Toster was bqrn in Pike county, Ind , March 2, 1830. He was graduated. at the Indiana State Unhersitv in 1855. and after one year at Harvard Law School was admitted to the bar and began practice in Evansville. He entered the national service in 1801 as Major of the Twcnty-lifth Indiana Infantry. Later he was appointed Colonel ot the One Hundred and Thirtv-sixth Indiana ltegiment He was sent as United States Minister to Mexico by President Grant i n 1873, and w as reappointed by Presi dent Haves in ISSOl In March of that tmp he was transferred to Russia, and held that mis'on until November, 1881, when he re signed. President Arthur oppoiilted him Minister to Spain, and he served from February, 1881 to March, 1885,xwhen he re signed and returned to the United States, having negotiated an important commercial treaty with the Spanish Government.

DOWN Irritates the Fore Spots in the Eepublican Banks, and Some Say THE PRESIDENT IS TOO OFFICKftJS FROM A STAFF COBBESp'OVDEirr.j ' ' Washington, June 29. The fight be tween Qnay and Chris Magee over the ap pointment of George W. Miller as Internal Bevenne Collector at Pittsburg is assuming importance in political circles. This Is not due to the importance of the office involved, but to the fact that the contest is between two Eepublicans, each of whom is a national figure. It was rumored about the Senate to-day that Senator Quay had polled the Senate Finance Committee and, on finding that he had not enough friends there to carry 'the day, announced his intention of abandoning the fight Senator Quay has reached the reticent stage regarding this matter, and refuses per sonally to either affirm or deny the rumor. His friends, however, insist with much warmth that the rnmor is as unfounded as it is absurd. They say that Senator Quay could influence enough members of the Finance Commitee to succeed in having Mr. Miller rejected by the committee. Even should he be unsuccessful with the commit tee, they say his outspoken opposition on the floor of the Senate Upon the presenta tion of the Finance Committee's report would result in Mr. Miller's rejection, and consequently Mr. Magee's defeat It is not pretended that Senator Quay's personal in fluence is so potent, "but Senatorial cour tesy," it is said, would compel the Senate to pay heed to a specific request from a member regarding such a matter. The next regular meeting day of the Senate Finance Committee is the coming Tuesday. A special meeting may be held before that day. THE CLARKSON SORE law of 1890, known as the Sherman act, and includes safeguards against the dumping of loreign coin into this country to be melted and recoioed. In this shape the bill is thonght to be acccpmblo to a majority in both Houses. Senators-Sherman hjmself is in favor of the repeal of Uje-law of 1890 and so is Senator Carlisle. Each of these Sena tors is 'warmly sufAorted' by men on both sides of the chamber. Senator Morgan lis confident that when the bill passes President Harrison will promptly sign it for the one reason, if for no other, that he would not care to assume tne responsibility of vetoing it in view ot the fact that he is a bi-metallfst from prin ciple and business, and it would be very bad politics to continue the question as a political issue and give the Democrats the benefit of a Eepublican veto. o x The movement to pass the silver bill be fore adjournment has attracted little atten tion heretofore, but Senator Morgan is con fident that it is being cleverly managed, and that it will undoubtedly succeed. A BILE THE LAST STRAW 1 hat Drove a Penniless Couple to Snlclde In a Baltimore Lodging House They Were Strangers In a Strange land Retorted to Poison. Baltimore, June 29. A man and woman, registered as Fv St Cloud and wife, were found dead this afternoon in their lodging house. At 1 o'clock this afternoon a bellboy was sent to the room with Mrs. St Cloud's bill, amounting to a little over S60. About 4 o'clock, the bill not having been, paid, the acting manager visited the room. He knocked, but received no response. He tried the door, but found It locked. En trance to 'the room was obtained by climb ing over the transom. St Cloud was found lying on the bed dead. The woman lay on the floor with her feet toward the bed, also dead. Neither had more than a single gar ment on. The room Was in treat disorder. Their trunks were open, and their contents were scattered about ttie floor. Quantities of rough on rats, laudanum and morphia were bund in the room, and it is presumed that it was bv some such means the couple committed suicide. . A coroner was Bummnned and examined the bodies, but declined to bold an inquest He decided that the woman had been dead about three hours. She must have killed herself immediately after the presentation of the bill.

Notwithstanding the prompt confirma tion of Mr. Foster, the feeling here among Bepublicans against his appointment Is in tense. It is a feeling that the President has taken things madly in his own hands in the selection of the managers of the cam paign, and in appointments making and to be .made, and that he may as well have his own way and get the credit for his own ruin.

JVVashihgtok, June 2a Special John Foster's appointment as Secretary of State surprises the politicians as greatly as any thing President Harrison has done since he came into office.

William 7 XrHcotjtjDf the State Deowtment, Xtipii, Ho Can Show His Civil Service Ideas in Tilting a Vacancy. Washington, June 29. Special President Harrison has at hand a very good opportunity to put into' practice his civil service reform principles. There are several vacancies in the departments to be filled on the 1st of July and for nearly all .of them there are candidates from among the men now in the service. The most conspicuous vacancy of this class is that of Comptroller of the Cur rency, caused by the resignation of Edward S. Lacey, ot Michigan, who has been made President of the new Bankers' National Bank oi Clncpgo, with a capital of $1,000, 000. Mr. Lacey's service as Comptroller will cease to-morrow, and he will leave for Chicago on the following day. To-night he was the guest of honor at a dinner given by a number of prominent Congressmen and private citizens of Washington. Mr. Laeey does not know who his suc cessor will be, but he does know that one of the most active applicants is the present Deputy Comptroller, S. M. Nixon. .Mr. Nixon has served in the Comptroller's effice for many years, and is thoroughly ac quainted with its duties and able to per ioral tuem. lie nas a nost ot political back ing and is a Eepublican. His appointment wonia ue a piain recognition, ot ttie pro fessions of the administration, but still ft is thought that he will be set aside for some man more prominent and active in practical politics. The salary of the office is 55,000, and the Comptroller is practically independent He makes his reports direct to Congress and is not under the control of the Secre tary of the Treasury. It is understood that Mr. Lacey will receive 520,000 a year in his uew position. HIS FIBSI PUBLIC APPEABANCE. Tho New Secretary Attends a Reception Given In Honor of EL S. Iacey. Washington, June 29. SDtctaLl John W. Foster made his first appearance in public to-night as Secretary of State. The occasion was a dinner at the Arlington Hotel in honor of Edward S. Lacey, who is about to retire from the office of Comptroller of the Curreney. Senator McMillan, of Micnigan, presided and a number of dis-t tinguished persons were present Considerable merriment was caused by the Secretary of State being seated directly opposite his namesake, Charles Foster, Sec retary of the Treasury. Nearly all of the speakers made pleasant allusions to the new addition to the Cabi net, and one of the guests facetiously remarked that tnlv nn. "An -nA-. was expected to be present, yet two of them were in attendance. The Foster family contributed its share to the wit and humor of the occasion, and the gnest of the even ing, Mr. Xacey, was the recipient of many deserved commendations.

Washington, June 29. Special. Tom Carter, of Montana, the newly elected Sec retary of the Eepublican National Commit tee, is greatly troubled. He wants to be Sloat Fassett's successor, and yet he feels hardly reconciled to giving up his influen tial place as Commissioner of the General Land Office. He said to-day that he felt tempted-totleclinBirhT new appointment and hang o the Government job with its S3", 000 salary and its vast influence with Western land interests. Later in the day, however, Mr. Carter had a long chat with the Presi dent at the White House, at 'which Na tional Committee Chairman Campbell was also present, and it is now thought that Mr. Carter will take the Secretaryship and leave the Commissionersbip for some other good Government Western Eepublican. There is much bad blood still coming to the surface over the row that ended in Clark- son s downfall, and all Bepublicans in terested feel that the administration took altogether too much interest in the selection or a ohairman. The friends of Harrison en deavored to rub in the defeat of Clarkson by packing the Executive and Advisory Committee with well-known Harrison men. This was resented br Bepublicans, who feel that they are still within the party fold, even though they opposed the renominatlon of the President at Minneapolis, and they plainly expressed their opinions in the com mittee meeting. ' Tnere were several lively tilts after the Clarkson movement'had failed, during one of which Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, elo quently and bitterly rebuked Senator Carey, ot Wyoming, for insinuating that the men who were Harrison's opponents before elec tion would not now serve his interests as faithfully as those who favored his nomina tion. Senator Wolcott served in the com mittee as a proxy of the Colorado member, and created mueh enthusiasm bv his manlv announcement that the Bepublicans of Col orado are Eepublicans alwavs. and that even the defeat of Blaine did not shake them in their party allegiance. It is understood that this year the work of the National and Congressional Commit tees will be merged, and that the former will absorb nearly all of the work usually managed by the latter committee. Edward McPherson, of Pennsylvania, is the secre tary of the Congressional Committee, and will map out the work to be done in, the effort to elect a Eepublican Congress, but the National Committee will manage the details and foot the bills. The result of Mr. Clarkson's overthrow has been rather demoralizing to the large force of sub-secretary's and clerks who have been employed for tne past six months pre paring the preliminary work of the cam paign. Many of them have not been pre sented their salaries for some months, and it is understood the committee will repudi ate all contracts made by the old one and start in on a new plan, which contemplates the abandonment ot the work mapped out by the Clarkson coteiie. Altogether the Eepublican bosses are having a lively time for such hot weather. short time. The man and woman came to the hotel June 21 and registered from New York. Little was known about them at the hotel. They seemed simply average people. Among the effects were papers, snowing St Cloud to have been discharged from the Grenadier Guards of England, June 25, 1890. His linen all bore the name of F. F. Blondy. On the woman's hand were two rings, one of which was inscribed "From Mamma to Irene." On the fly leaf of a book fonnd in the room was written: "Irene M. Story, January 21891. Locust Point." Sitae handkerchiefs J were also found, marked Mrs. 8. W. Coats. The room, be sides being littered with cigarette ends, contained several ale bottles and glasses in which cold drinks had been served. The bodies, horribly contorted, were taken to the morgue. FREE SILVER MAY PASS. YANKEE 0CElf RACERS. The International line WJII Probably Have Pour Bnilt by the Cramps.

Cramp said: "The steamship company is prepared to order four ships, and the models of hulls and the designs of machinery are practically settled. They will be according to our most improved methods and of a new type, and will, of course, be distinctively American in every sense.

As soon as the Democrats adopted their platform, she cent out invitations to her Democratic friends to meet at her house and exchange views. They responded on Tuesday afternoon. Miss Sarah E. Fuller, also of Sorosis, was made secretary of the meeting. Every effort was made to keep the fact of the gathering secret Mrs. Ormsby, as the originator -of the plan, made a stirring address. She is tall and graceful, and is an eloquent and force ful speaker. She aronsed much enthusiasm when she dwelt on the part that women onght to play in this campaign. She Couldn't Explain the Tariff. "When I was in Eome," she said, "I was commissioned by Mrs. Potter Palmer to en list the sympathy of Italian women in the World's Fair, and going among them I found how their lives were narrowed, their aspirations frosted and their homes burdened by the oppression of their odious tariffs. I started for home with the song of "American freedom on my lips and in my heart, only to find on arriving at our ports that the Eepublican party had put a bit terer barrier at our doors than could be found anywhere in Italy. "Nothing gave me more mortification ttt Eome than to try to explain the McKinley bill. How could I, as a peace representa tive, justifying such an anti-fraternal, anti brotherhood, warlike attitude as that as sumed by our country in adppting the Mc Kinley principle?" "Bnt I used to know ypn as a Eepubli can," broke in Mrs. E. J. Cadwallader. "I was a Eepublican once," -Mrs. Ormsby said sharply, "but my eyea were opened and when the McKinley bill was passed I saw the full iniquity of the tariff system. It is the duty ot every' woman to make as light as possible the work of those who labor for the home. How can thev do it better than bv cuttlne down the expenses of the household? But let us not cut down the comforts, let us cat down the prices. No man knows like a woman, the burdens of the home." now Ehopplng Influenced Her Views. "I went out shopping one day after the country had been McKinlevized and found prices almost doubled in some instances. That fall I induced five of my Eepublican friends to vote the Democratic ticket for the first time in their lives, and I say that every Democratic woman in the land can do the same. My sisters, we have no vote, but thank God we have influence. This sentiment drew out a great burst of applause, in the midst of which Mrs. Orms by resumed her seat "Let us call it an influence club," said a sweet-faced woman in black. "Yes, that's it," said half a dozen women at once, catching the cue from the closing sentiment of Mrs.' Ormsby's speech. Mme. Clara Lanza, daughter of Dr. Wm. H.

The ob ject of the conference was to choose a steer ing committee for the balance of the session. To ,The Dispatch correspondent to-day Senator Morgan said that, notwithstanding the outcome of the Chicago Convention, he is still sincerely of the belief that a free coinage bill will pass both Houses of Con gress and become a law during this session.

IS AStngular Court Case , 12 Before the dawn of another day the great strugzle at Homestead between organized labor on one side and centralized capital on the other will have begun. To-night the adversaries are resting quietly in their tents, and to an untutored stranger this picturesque town of Homestead is strangely dull and qniet The streets are all but de serted, and at this writing the great ma jority of citizens are indoors. The few dozen loungers grouped about the railroad stations are quiet and orderly, and from pres ent appearances things will remain much as they are until morning. But all this peace and quietness may prove but the lull which always precedes the storm. The very silence is portentous. ' All Slarched Out at Dawn. When the hands of the great clock which hangs in the office of the company an nounce the hour of 4 this morning every man in the new and old open hearth depart ments, the 32-inch armor mill, the 119-inch plate mill, the 33-inch beam mill, the 23 inch beam and structure mill, the convert ing and blooming mills and the new beam mill will, at a given signal, put on their coats, gather up their belongings and walk out ot the works. All told, they number 3,800 men. According to their leaders the unique spectacle will be devoid of any sen sational features. If they obey instruc tions, and from present appearances they will, the strong-armed, deep-chested sons of toil will make their final exit from the scenes of their labors peacefully and quietly. A Big Mass Meeting Called To-Day. They will hasten to their homes and there they will remain nntil 10 o'clock. This is the hour set for the big mass meeting which is to be held in tbe Opera House, and at which it is confidently expected tlut all the wags workers will be present Just what will be done at this meeting it is difficult to predict If the present programme is car ried ont the men will have half a dozen or more speeches from their leaders, and the report of what was done at a secret meeting of the Executive Committee of the dozen or more lodges of the Amalgamated Asso ciation located in and abont Homestead.

AH strangers will be sub ject 'to a rigid cross-examination and unless the result is satisfactory they will be re quested to leave Homestead post haste. Even the credentials of the newspaper men are subjected to the most rigid scrutiny. A number of effigys of John A. Potter, general superintendent of the works, and H. C. Fricfc, the recognized head ot the Carnegie Companv, were displayed in the mills during tne day, but aside from a deal of good-natured griying by the workmen . there was no demonstration. Both sides are quietly awaiting develop ments and are exceedingly close mouthed about their plans for the future. Were it not for the wire-crested wall of stout plank ing which surrounds the plant there is nothing visible in or about the works to in dicate that the company had prepared for war. TJp to 2 o'clock this morning there were no new developments. An effigy labeled with the inscription "Down with Frick" has been suspended from a telegraph pole on Dixon street, near the tracks of the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston Bail road. It is surrounded by a jeering crowd, but no outbreak is expected, HOMESTEAD'S LIVELIEST DAY.

While doing so a hoie with a stream of water of about 200 pounds pressure was turned upon him, not only completely drenching him, but forcing him to the ground. William McBrown, chief watchman at the works, who was also represented by an effigy, tried to explain matters to the men in a brief address, but they only jeered and derided him. McBrown is suspected of having entertained some Pinkerton men at his house. An Ex-Offlcer Roughly Handled. About 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon s man wearing a blue uniform went out to tbe Carnegie Steel Company's office and bad a consultation with some of the firm.
