HORNBLOWER IS OUT.

Majority of the Senate Committee Against Confirmation. William B. Hornblower, President Cleveland’s nominee for the vacancy on the United States Supreme bench," received a knockout blow Monday. At the meeting of the Senate Judiciary Committee Senator Hill was instructed to make an unfavorable report from a majority of the committee on the nomination. Mr. Hill, aec rding to a Washington correspondent,- has been gunning for Mr. Cleveland's man for months,

and now apparently the game is in his hands. While the report does not make confirmation absolutely impossible, it is thought Hornblower's fate is settled. The fight cn Hornblower has been wicked. While that gentleman is a capable lawyer, hi's attitude toward corporations and the apprehension that he might overturn important decisions affecting railroads caused him to be subjected to the sharpest sort of criticism.

WILLIAM B HORNBLOWER.
