GENERAL NEWS. Announcement of ilo Successor of George W. Childs. PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 18 --The > Ledger in its editorial columns says, "'1 he I übile Ledger, founded iu 1830. and of which George VV. Childs was editor and propri etor from Dec. 8, 1884, to Feb. 8, 1594, passes, by reason of his so universally lamented death, and in consonance with ( nil agreement entered into during the life time of each by Mr. Childs and his friend and partner. Anthony .1. Drexel, under the absolute ownership of the Drexel es tate, and the editorial and business man- j agement of George W. Childs Drexel, whose name appears at the head of this column as editor and publisher. The formal announcement of this complete change of proprietorship and directum of the Public Ledger makes necessary the statement that it involves no change in the character of this journal, as its char acter was created and maintained by that wise, just man, who for 80 years of unre mitting energy and sagacity wrought in 1 high principles, good conscience and uu selfish pub ic spirit to render the Public Ledger worthy the confidence, respect j and support of popular Intelligence and virtue. That Mr. Childs succeeded in doing this is testified to by the extraor dinarily long continued and existing ' prosperity of the Ledger, the general esteem in which it is held, the wholesome influence it exerts, and the respect enter tained for it by its contemporaries." Governorship of Ohio Next Year and Then the Presidency, CLEVELAND, 0., Feb. 12.— A special to the World dated Columbus, 0., from a very close personal friend of ex-Governor Campbell, and who is also an ex-state official, states that, notwithstand ing his declaration that he is out of poli tics, the ex-governor is now intending to secure, if possible, the democratic nomi nation for governor in 1895. The facts seem to indicate that this arrangement had been made with President Cleveland and probably also with Senator Brice. It is slated that several very wealthy demo crats of Ohio have expressed a willingness to furnish the ex-governor all the money necessary to carry ou his campaign. It is stated that Mr. Campbell declined to ac cept a place in Mr. Cleveland's cabinet with this course in view and that the ob ject is to make the election to the gover norship a stepping stone to the nomina tion for the presidency which will come the year after. The report from Wash ington that ex-Governor Campbell will be nominated to congress to succeed Ilouk is discredited here. Studios in Athletics. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Feb. 12.---Dr. J. W. Seaver, associate director of tne Yale gymnasium, has given out a tAle of statistics compiled from the examinations of atheletics during the past few years. He reached definite conclusions regarding the development, obtained by baseball, football and aquatic training. He finds that in general satisfactory and symmetri cal physical development is obtained by training for the crew or football eleven, but that, baseball training results gener ally in unsymmetrical and irregular devel opment. His table of statistics shows that comparatively few of the muscles ! are normally developed by baseball prac- | ties and establishes the conclusion that for all-round development baseball train- i ing is not desirable. West Superior Wants a l'ight. WEST SUPERIOR, Mich., Feb 12.— Frank Shaw, the wealthy bookmaker, has offered to pay the purse money of the Corbett] Jackson fight, should it occur in West Superior.

It is expected that arrangements for a purse will be made the present week and a guaranty posted.

I This year the old custom will be observed j by the boys as usual, but additional in terest will be given to this day by the fact that the young ladies of the institu tion take part. Muckers Still Come. BETHLEHEM, Pa., Feb. 12.— Frank Lor enz, a saloonkeeper of Milwaukee, Wis., arrived here to fill an appointment with green goods men.

Hooker Hammersley, and nephew of the first ; husband of the duchess of Marlborough, is dangerously ill. He is the prospective heir to #7,000.000. The duchess has a life j interest in the millions he left behind, but on her death they revert to the little stranger who came to inherit, if he should live, the great fortune and keep it from "going out of the family." Should there be no other tnue of the Hammera leys, and the dowager duchena survive them, the property will he hers to dispose of as she will. She has no children. Spain and Morocco. MADRID, Feb. 12.—The government ha* ' received despatches from General Mar tines de Campos, who is trying to nr range with Sultan Muley Hassan the settlement of the Melilla difficulty be tween Spain and Morocco. The cabinet - was summond at once to meet, and the I ministers remained in conference six hours. Although nothing is known of the contents of the despatches, it is feared that the negotiations for a settlement are not making satisfactory progress. German and Russian Treaty. * BERLIN, Feb. 13. The commercial treaty with Russia has been signed. The North German Gazette, in announc ing the fact, proceeds to comment on a line implying that the treaty is an offen- j sive and defensive alliance. [ n the min isterial circle the treaty in taken for what it ie worth—that it Assists to prevent but does not deter war. Trade and commer cial circles hail it as an undoubted suc cess It certainly gives great advantage ' to the Fast Prussian and Berlin markets ! Jt is difficult to see how the agrarian cobservatives can oppose the treaty in the fact that Russia concedes a tariff that is generally beneficial to all j Germany, but especially good for the I eastern mark eta , J- ' ' WASHINGTON. Wliat Congress Has on Hand This Week. WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—The resolution i reported from the committee on foreign i r lations declaring it unwise and iuex- { pedient to consider further the project of j annexing Hawaiian territory, was a rain • under consideration iu the senate yester day, and was the subject of au interest ing debate. Senator Gray, of Delaware, spoke for about three hours, in cootinua- ' tion of the speech which lie began 0:1 Monday. He supported the resolution, and commended warmly the position of j President Cleveland, to whom, lie sai 1. ! the country should be gratelul for his wisdom and courage in daring to do the right thing. If ever the American people were to start out on a career of empire j or colonisation Mr. Gray hoped that it | would be with head erect and without j the breath of susp cion or dis ion r, in- I trigue or low dealing. Senator Teller, of j Colorado, asked him whether the whole | matter might be considered as resubmit ted by the president to congress, and upon being told that that was Mr. Gray's 1 understanding, expressed the hope that ! the senator from Delaware sp >ke by au thorbyofthe presideut. The resolution | went over without action and was taken up again to-day, and Senator Daniel, of i Virginia, addressed the senate upon it. I The house bill, requiring railroad com , pauies in the territories to have stations I at town sites established by tile interior I : department was then taken up and dis ! cussed until the senate went into execu- I tive session—adjourning at 5:10 p. in.

This later ; batch consists of copies of two letters, j one from Secretary Greshnm to Minister j Willis, setting forth an account of his in terview with Minister Thurston when he called to ask if the United States would j use force to put the queen on the throne, I ! and the other from Minister Willis to j j Secretary Gresham giving an account of his declination of the invitation to atteud 1 j the celebration of the establishment of provisional government. In bis letter to | Mr. Willis Mr. Gresham say's Thurston 1 ! culled upon him in the morning and asked if forco would be used, and he J (Gresham) declined to answer until after ! noon, when he asked Thurston to return. J Meanwhile Mr. Gresham called upon the | president, nnd in the afternoon, in re- ! spouse to Mr. Thurston's inquiries told him it was not the intention to use force nor do anything to injure the provisional government or the people; that if injury came to them it would be through their own acts. Mr. Willis, it appears, gives , no reason for declining the iuvitutution , 1 Bent him. For Woman Suffrage. ! I WASHINGTON. Feb. 13.—Mr. Pence (pop., Col.) has offered in the house a bill pro viding for woman suffrage. The bill dif fers somewhat from others presented 011 the same subject heretofore, as it does not propose to amend the constitution but simply gives women over the age of 21 tho right to register and to vote at all 1 ; elections lor members of the house of | representatives, and provides that tho j right shall not be denied or abridged by j the United States or any state.

Id. The Sun says 1 bat the banks which have subscribed > Ibe bond issue ar" disposed t-j gradufillv work out of tlicir hoidiugs, anil to this • Mil they are inviting the attention of their country correspondents to the at tractiveness of the Investment. As sev eral of the banks which do a large busi n< ss with country institutions have re-i cenlly reduced the rates of interest al lowe 1 on balAnces, it is thought that a g'.od demand will come from th" coun- j try as so, -n as the bonds are delivered. In addition to disposing o. 1 1 • bonds t iii , local banks will auccee lin lower-in r the ! excessive balances of their correspond- I eats without reducing their cash hold- ' ings. Money is by no means as,cheap all ' over the country as it is in Xew York, i and the country banks will find it profit abl- to take out circulal'on against the i bonds. The dealings in the new b mis are scarcely active as yet, and quotations , for them are uncertain. As a rule they are quoted tractionly above the upset price of issue. The dealings, of course, are in the treasury's receipts which carry B per cent, interest. The heads of great financial institut ions report that never in their experience lias bu iness been dull as at the present tin e.

A lav- r.sble surprise is in r--.il: -i >f the public sale of home and foreign si:ka at New York, prices paid, instead "fro ; suiting In a loss, as predicted, farn-s'u .g a fair margin of profit, and p anting a, the willingness of dealers to replenish stocks in advance of immediat • demand*, i ! There is a gain also in movements of | men's-wear woolens from eastern centres, ! and the in< reused demand for steel bib hts at P.ttsburg and at Chicago is Mr h that prices are nearly if not quite >1 a ton iiiger, and more than 40,000 to us of steel have been c n tract el for. De mand for rods, wire apd nails has in creased as well, and some mills have re- i fused further orders nt current prices. Sales of southern pig iron have be. n ia i r nise iin the west. A good deal of ea it- i i cm money has been sent west, its use be- ' ing noticeable at Giiiaha and Duiuth. C bicago bank reserves are in excess of tha local demands, and the interest there on country bank balances lias bean reduced to 1 1-2 per cent. Bank clearings ' : amount to $5.58,000,000 as reported from i i ! cities throughout the country, an increase j : of 15 per cent, over the preceding week, ! but a decrease as compared with the li. week last year of 88 per cent. This in li- ! f*at*s a distinct Improvement when cou- ! t ranted with comparisons of preceding weeks' totals with those in corresponding : weeks last year. There were B-50 failures in the United States last, week, against 340 weekjbeforc, ; i -.MB in tlie week a year ago, 214 two years ago and 3('iO three years ago.

Improvement is noted in some general merchandise lines at Boston, but others 1 lack life. Credits are being extended moderately. At Philadelphia there is no ! gain in the wool market, and woolen mil is continue on restricted time. Dry goods are more sluggish, but there is an iui- ! provement in demand for iron. Bait imere reports the trade for January 20 per cent. ' less than last year and current demand ' not up to expectation, llnnd-to-mouth ! purchases continue the rule in general ' merchandise lines at Pittsburg, but in- ! <iu:rics for iron and steel "have increased.

At Cincinnati ( i here is no change, except that manufac- I Hirers report more life in inquiries- There is a slight increase in business at Louis ville, particularly in leaf tobacco, sales ' of which are satisfactory and prices higher. There is a slight increase in bus iness at Indianapolis, notably in building materials, dry goods and hardware. Only! a moderate business is reported at Detroit ! with the exception of wholesale groceries! .Shipments of dry goods arj mora con- I spicuous from Chicago, although sales of | hardware have improved.
