Mr. McKinley is understood to bo manning a very bold strike to put himself in line of succession to Proeident Harri• son, while the latter is disposed to t'uo- ceed himself. 'There is a very interesting game between them for honors. The Ohio statesman is said to have laid out a campaign for himself which, unless he is less sanguine than his close friends aro, be expects to lead to the White Boteo. Mr. McKinley is as certain as any one can be in advance of a happening to be the Republican candidate for governor of Ohio. His friends say that while kcal iesuos will enter into his canvass for the governorship the feature of his campaign will be hie masterly defence of the tariff law which bears his name. From this time forward until another defeat, or perchance, victory, has made further struggle unnecessary or fruitless, he pro. poses to conduct a crusade in behalf of that offspring, which gives him a feeling of immense pride. He is said to feel that the friends of that measure have boon too confident "in the spontaneous good judg- ment of the people" in not exerting themselves more in defence of the measure. He wants to be elected gover- nor on that issue and upon his author- ship of that law to base his claim upon the party for higher honors. He is said to believe that he is along enough and great enough and that the cause is good enough to overcome all the prejudice the Demoorate have excited against the measure, and be is going to sot himself about doing it. Having made that the great issue in the Ohio election this fall he proposes to hold the Republican party up to the line and keep that as the one great issue of the presidential campaign in I802. Of coarse the Demoorate say they are glad enough that there is a pur- pose to make the McKinley tariff idea the platform of the Republican party, and that they are particularly pleased that both of the principal oandidatee for the Republican nomination are willing to stand on that platform to make the agile. Mr. Harrison is said to be not disposed to let McKinley take all the credit for the tariff legislation of the Fifty-first Congress or for 11e reat of its work, but world give the world to understand that the "edninistratioo'• tock a very im- portant part in snaking that legislation nss1 1 I• h Ile is said to bad determined to 1 have his enure of the credit for tato last Congress, even at the risk of having some of i.s heavy responsibilities fell upon him. It is seldom that any department or bureau of the government is given more clerics than the head of the department him Raked for, so when the uominiseioner of Indian affairs got a copy of the Indian appropriation act and studied it careful- ly he discovered, among other things, that his bureau had been given provisions for a stenographer and typewriter at a salary of $1,400 per year which was un- asked for and unexpected. He marvelled r much at this extraordinary generosity ) on the part of Congress, until he received n visit from Senator Gall and Mr. David- son, of Florida, who possessed some in- formation on the subject. "We called," said the Senator, "in the absence of Senator Quay, to explain a paragraph in the Indian appropriation bill providing for a stenographer and typewriter." The commissioner was all attention. "There was no estimate submitted to Congress for this position," continued the Senator, "but the place 10 intended for a good Re- publican who lives in Florida and fe greatly in favor with Senator Quay,•who does a gond deal of lishiog in that region. Mr. Quay," the Senator said, "had pot the conference committee to insert the provision of the atenoJraplter and type- writer, hatless first got 0 petition signed by all the lt0publioan hcnuators 'taking. Met it be done." lir. Call staid he had eotn0 1e tel the un_umiseioner about the matter, no that lir: alight not by mistake nppoiut stmt .0110 to the place before lltr. Quay had seen him. It was the purpose of those who had this paragraph put in the bill to exempt the position front the operation of hbe civil service low, but by mistake this was not dono and Mr. Quay's friend may not get the office after all. With the death of Gen. Joseph E. Johnson, passes away the last of the great leaders of the Confederate hove. ment. Outliving the animssitiea of the war, he had served as a pallbearer of the three military heroes of the nation in that contest, Grant, Sheridan and Sher- man, calling their names in the order in which they departed from the scenes of earth. Gen. Johnson was a man of su- perior onituro, of refined manners, of groat personal popularity. The of wars of his life were passed in the National Capitol where he had nu r erose friends of all 800110ns, parties and cot. (11110n0.

Sir Charles Tupper, Canadian kligh Commissioner to England ; Hon. C4eo. E. Foster, Minister of Finance; Sir Jno. Thompson, Minister of Justice, and 0. 0, Chipman, Sir Charles Tupper's private Secretary, remelted Washington at 0 late hoer Sunday night from Ottawa. Thu object of their visit was to call by ap. peintment of Secrehlry 13l'0ine and in- formally discuss with him the 111064001• LIons embodied in the letter from Lord Stanley, Governor-G`'eueral of Canada, to Lord Knutsford, Imperial Secretary for the Colonies. Tho propositions were 1 1. The renewal of the reciprocity treaty of 1864 with such modification as wilt suit the altered cireumatane0s of both o(t111teies. 2. The reconsideration of the treaty of 1888 with respect to the Atlantic fisher- ies, with the ani of 800011ng free admis' sloe into the United States markets of Canerlieu fishery products in return for facilities to buy bait and euppiie8 and to tranship oa,goee in Canada, all stmt prf. vilegee to be mutual. 11. Protection of mackerel and other tl&bevies of the Atlantic Ocean and in. land waters. 4. The relaxation of the seaboard in. land coasting laws of the two coentrfes. 5. Mutual salvage and saving of wreck• ed vessels, and. 0. An arrangement for settling the boundary between Canada and the Unita el States. Accompanied by Sirlittlian "10111! 5fote, Blaine the ministers called on Secretary B t at his home, just before noon. Their stay lasted but a few miuntes. Return- ing to khelr hotel they announced that they were to leave Washington in a few hours. As social engagements had been made by members of the party that in- dicated a purpose to stay in Washington at least a week, the news of their intend- ed sudden departure caused some gar - /wise. This was set at rest, however, by a statement from Sir Charlet' Tnppor. who said he visited Secretary Blaine last Thursday and was cordially received. Ho explained the desire of the Canadian Government to lay the foundation for negotiations that should broaden the trade relations between the Dominion and the United States. Secretary Blaine met the proposal favorably, and Sir Charles returned to Ottawa to report the result to Iris Government and to secure bhe presence in Washington on Monday of Messrs. Thompson and Foster, Seers. tarn Blaine 110511133 arranged to receive them. Subsequently Secretary Blaine learned that the President desired to be present when negotiations wero under- taken, and his projected southern and western trip would not admit of that if ,the negotiations wero to proceed at once. Accordingly Secretary Blaine informed Sir Julian Paunoefote that a postpone- ment would be desirable, and the Minister so telegraphed Sir Charles Tupper at Ottawa, but the party bad started for Washington 'before the telegram was re- ceived and was not informed of the change of program until Monday morn• ing. Sir Charles Tupper says Sir Julian Paunoefote will notify the party when to return to Washington, which will be as soon as the President can conveniently give his attention to the negotiations. After the interview with Secretary Blaine Monday morning the party called at the White House and left their cards for the President. • t bunadiaek Now es. Navigation has opened on Lake Cham- plain.

The sale of Ootobot' last was held with the view rather of ,wing; a supply of -butler to mill owners in the Northwest than of obtaining revenue ; yet the financial lc. salt was good. The bonuses obtained for the 87511 miles sold amounted to $810,260, or $000 a square mile ; in addition to this the limits sold will ield revenue in the shape of ground rents and timber dues. The government has now sold in all /3,0513 square Minot' of lions, from which it has reoeived $2,807,387 in bonuses, besides a revenue from timber clues and ground rent averaging nearly $1,000,000 a year.
