Secretary Carlisle is a candidate for the 'Democratic nomination (for president.

I iam today a'ble to 'state authoritatively what the attitude of the president is concerning t'he nomination, and also to explain the .meaning of the -candidacy of Secretary Carlisle.

Secretary Olney is not and will not be a candidate for president, and exSecretary Whitney is not and will net be a candidate.

The administration programme is as follows: 1. To seicure control of/the convention and adopt an anti-silver platform. 2. To nominate Secretary Carlisle If possible. 3. That failing, to nominate Mr. Cleveland for a 'fourth tiim-e*

The friends otf Secretary Olney, of exSecretary Whitney and of ex-Governor Russell of Massachusetts, who, under favorable circumstances, m!ght wish towork'for the selection of their'favorites, all understand that the president has arranged his plans on the lines which I have just described, and this state of affairs necessarily precludes the pressing of any other candidate from the wing of the party to which the president •belong's.

PREFERRED DEATH TO CAPTURE

An Unknown Thief In Chicago Shoots Himself. Chicago, April 6.—Twice within a week Chicago has furnished two sensational suicides. Several days ago a negro thief, while being pursued by the police, cut his throat from ear to ear with a razor, just uipon the eve of- capture. iSund'ay mornig a white man, while being pursued under exactly the same circumstances, drew a revolver and shot himself through the head, falling dead at the feet of his horrified pursuers. A dance was in progress at a hall in Twenty-second street and an alarm was raised that a thief was pursuing his vocation in the cloak room. The hue and cry alarmed the man and he broke from cover. Two officers, seeing the flying man, started in pursuit. A private watchman endeavored to stop the man, but the latter flourished a revolver under his nose, causing him to draw back in fear, while the stranger turned his back to a fence and stood still. The officers came up on a run.

There

was

a moment of suspense,

then a sharp report and the strange man fell forward on his face .with a ragged hole in his head behind the right ear. There was nothing a"bout the man's clothing that would lead to an identification.

On the rising vote 206 voted'in the affirmative and but forty in the negative. The speaker declared the bill passed.

The discussion revamped tjje charges oif fraud, made while the .bill was in committee. ''A •Mr. Law of New .York, who called up the (bill, said in the course oif his remarks, that a territory that was applying ftor statehood ought, not to repudiate ilts honest de'bts."

Mr. Grosvenor reported the "flllei cheese" .bill from the committee ways and means and gave not'ice he would call it up Wednesday.'

A DOLLAR A BUSHEL.

Phil Armour Says Wheat Wll( (Sell That High Soon. Chicaglo, April 6.-iP. D. Arm-cur said tonight: "'I ibctfieve that wheat will sell at i$l at txishel or near that figure «oon."

This is speaking from, the standipoint off a merchant and not of a scalper. It ought to sell there on its merits and will unless something unforeseen occurs. I have (felt "bullish for several weeks ibu't never mbre so than mow. "What any individual stealper or operator does 'has 'no reference to actual market conditions. The advance will not be a matter of sentiment, although I believe business men all over the country are ibecomting more confidant and cheenful. The advance in wheat may to a certain extent (be independent of the actton of other iproducts. This grain may be singled out for improvement. I*'believe that all other products will be helped. Corn- and oatis may sell up a few cents, althou'g'h conditions of supply and demand are entirely different In them than in wheat, 'but provisions are at a range of prices iwhere t'hey are sure to do better."
