Washington, D. 0., Feb. 6
Col. Jnhan 8. Carr, President of tbe
Durham Tobacco Company, aeeompi ;
nie«l by bis wife, is now here stopping at
the AHngton They hve just been to :
New York and stopped here on th< ir re- j

might consult with ex-Gov. Black, of j
Pennsylvania, concerning the Greens- j

If oke Smith and the Bench.
It is probable that the Senate will p'is
the bill ti retire Jnstice.Ta kson from th*
Bwpreme Court this week, lie is to b<>
retired on ace unt of his ill health. A1
though rumor has had it for a week that
Jnstiee Jackson would lie succeeded bv
William I*. Wils<>n, there is another man
who has been mentioned, and there are
those who predict that he will be the
fortunate man. The tew name men
tinned is that of Mr. Hoke Smith, Secre
tary of the Interior. S cretary Smith is
the biggest lawyer in the cabinet w ith
the possible exception of Olney, and is
so regarded here. His purpose is to re
turn fe the practice of the law on his
retirement. If tendered the position he
might aesept it, though this is nor, (w
--tain. He gave up a practice of s3l oTTn
a year to accept a plane in the cabine
and is ki yout g a man that he could
easily retsrn to a practice equally as lu
crative.
The President Guard d.
No President in the history of this
cunntry has been so ear fn' in having
Mmself guarded s Mr Cleveland.
Tliree sentry box*s without lookout
windows have been erected in frrnt and
•n ei'l er side of the builuiug. In th- se
armed gauds do duty day and night,
while others patrol ihe grounds.
la ths day time ample guards are about
the house and grounds 'watching for
•ranks o<* others who may enter with
malicious designs. Whether the Presi
dent personalK or his friends insist upon
ibis personal guard is not known. Cer
tain it ia, however, that no information
can be got fr* m any of them. They as
mrefully exp l the camera fiend from the
grounds m they do a crank, and have so
far prevented a snap shot at even a sen
try box
Whoa the President drives be is follow
ed by a well armed secret service man,
who trails along a short distance b hind
the executive carriage in a buggy diiven
by a •ompmion. Several times he went
•n horseback, but the buggy idea has
been found to attract least attention,
and te be more preferable.

On the morning of ihe 16th the ex
Queen was arrested at her resilience by
Brown and Parker and confined in a

where she now is. Mrs. Chares Clark
continues to attend her.
That afternoon, the volunteer troop*
and sharpshooters were all called in and

pleted for the prosecution early in ihe
afternoon of January 19ib. Wilcox,
James Lane. Grey, Wiedemann and

From other sources, it is ateertaimd
that only 288 iifl«s were landed at
Waialao and that the whole numt erof

These men were gathering during all
Sunday, January 6 They were em
p’oyed in cleaning the rifles of the sand

Wilcox, with forty m*n, retreatedint<>
the mountains and walked across Manoa.

in the mountains, Himself crossing to
Su; ann. Nowlein and his three younger
companions got up Pal lo ridge and soon
alter to Woilili. where thev lay con
oealed for a week, fed by tin* natives.
The whole attempt proved an absolute
fiasco through the incapacity of the e; d
ers, a lack of discipline in the men, and
a general lack of courage aud persist
