WASHINGTON, .lan. 0.—President Harrison sent a long list of nominations to the senate Tuesday, among others being James W. MeDill, of Iowa William M. Lindsey, of Kentucky, and William R. Morrison, of Illinois, for interstate commerce commissioners.

Judge MeDill, who succeeds Chairman C'ooley, will have little more -than a year to serve, but it is probable lie will then be renominated for the full term of six years. Nothing is said against his selection, while there is much in his favor. His experience in Congress, on the bench, and as a state railroad commissioner, it is believed, give him unusual qualifications for the duties he will have to perform. For a long time the scales were nicely billanced between MeDill and I,amberston, of Omaha. MeDili had been with

er.iged Mi-ami college, and the personal friendship then formed probably tipped the beam in his favor.

Judge Lindsay, who succeeds Com-! missioncr I'.ragg, will have three years' to serve. His legal standing is well known and he enjoys great, popularity with the southern people. He has gained added prominence through his efforts in behalf of tlj world's fair. His appointment on i. inter-state, commission will make it eeessary for him to resign his place as commissioner at large.

Other Nomination*../-^v

Tlie president also sent to the senate, these nominations: K, (i. Rathbone, of Ohio, to be fourth assistant postmaster general.

William 15. Hess, of Indiana, to be consul general of the United States at Constantinople.

William I). McCoy, of Indiana, to be minister resident and consul general of the United States to Liberia.

Andrew P. McCormick, of Texas, to be United States circuit judge for the Fifth judicial circuit (as provided by section 1, laws ISUl, United States statutes at large).

Matthew T. Allen, of California, to be attorney of the United States for the southern district of California, vice Willoughbv Cole, resigned.

Abraham J. Seay, of Oklahoma, to be governor of the territory of Oklahoma, vice (ieorge W. Steele, resigned.

Daniel A. Kay, of Illinois, to be principal clerk of surveys in the general land office.

Chief Engineer (ieorge W. Melville, United States navy, to be engineer in chief and chief of the bureau of steam engineering, with the relative rank of commodore.

Consuls of the United States---Camp-bell L. Maxwell, ot Ohio, at Santo Domingo: Charles Weare, of Iowa, at Aix la Chapelle: Sigmnnd C. Braida. of New .lersev, at San Juan del Norte Walter T.

A MexHtiKe on the Ituxsiuii Funilne. WASHINGTON, Jan. 0.—President Har rison sent to congress the following message touching the efforts to relieve the distress of the famine sufferers in Russia. It was referred to the committee on naval affairs for action on the recommendation contained therein: "To the senate smd house of representntives: The famine prevailing in sonic of the provinces of Kustda is so severe and widespread as to have attracted the sympathetic interest of a large number of our liberal and favored people. In some of the great grain producing states of the west movements have already been organized to collect flour and meal for the relief o! those perishing ltussian families, and tho response has been such as to justify the belief that a ship's cargo can very soon be delivered at llio seaboard through the generous cooperation of the transportation lines. It is mo*t appro-I priate that a people whose storehouses have been so lavishly tilled with all the Iruits I of the. earth by the gracious favor of H1 should manifest their gratitude by large j/irts to 1IU suffering children in other lands. The secretary of the navy lias no steam vexsel at his disposal that could be used for the transportation of these supplies, ami 1 Ili'refore recommend ihathe.be authorized to charter a! suitable vessel to receive liiem. A sulllcient I amount should be off-red to send them under the charge of a naval olllcer to such a UIINsian port as may be most convenient for ivady distribution to those ill most. need.

WASHINGTON, Jan. (». —'I he resumption of the business of the senate after the close of the holiday recess was marked by a pretty full attendance of senators, particularly on the republican side of the chamber. Vice President Morton occupied the chair. The opening prayer was offered by Chaplain butler.

Senator Wd.shburn (Minn.) offered a joint resolution authorizing the secretary of the navy to employ a naval vessel to convey to Russia food and supplies contributed by the ertir.ens of the United States for the famine sufferers and appropriating whatever amount might be necessary to also charter other ships for the purpose. Mr. Washburn said the secretary should designate the sailing ship Constellation, which carried the supplies to the Irish sufferers in 1880, but it was evident the Coiustellation could not carry one-fifth

Real Merit.

Is tho characteristic of Hood's Sarsaparilla, and it is manifested every day iu the remarkable cure this medicine accomplishes. Druggists say: When we sell a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla to a new customer we are sure to see him back in a few weeks after more- proving that the good results from a trial bottle warrant continuing its use. This positive merit Hood's Sarsaparilla possesses by virtue of tho peculiar combination, proportion and process used iu its preparation, and by which all the remedial value of the ingredients used is retained. Hood's Sarsaparilla is thus peculiar to itself and absolutely unequalled in its power as a blood purifier, and as a tonic for building up tbe weak and weary,and giving nerve strength.
