New Yokk, May 22.?Republican members of congress who were in the city last Sunday night said the selection of a candidate for vies president to run with President McKinley was as per? plexing as ever, and that tho matter had taken a new phase. This is caused by tho state of the president's health. Tho information that comes from Washington is that while the president's health is not alarm? ing, it is of a character to cause uneasi? ness among his ini! mate friends, to whom the facts are kgown. They will not even breathe a doubt that the presi? dent is likely to serve four years more, yet they are satisfied that more than usual care must be taken in providing for the presidential succession. Usually the vioe presidency has been thrown as a sop to the defeated faction. This will not bo tho cast this year. At a recent conference in Washington it was assumed that Governor Roose? velt was entirely out of consideration and his name was not presented. In explaining this it may be said that there are very large numbers of Republicans in and out of the state who still believe that the governor will "be drafted" at Philadelphia. Still at the meeting in Washington other names were consid? ered, among them being those of C. N. Bliss, Secretary of the Navy Long, Sen? ator Lodge, Senator Collum of Illinois, Senator Wolcott of Colorado and Gen? eral E. S. Otis. When all was said and done it was agreed that the candidate for vice presi? dent who met all political and other ex egencies had not been discovered. Murderer Electrocuted.

The weather of the past few days would indicate the near approach of Summer, and the consequent necessity of pro? viding one's self with appropriate wearing apparel.

There has been a great deal said about the advance in prices of Dry Goods, but we see no justification for this, except in domestic goods, such as bleached, brown and plaid homespuns, that are directly affected by the price of cotton, the advance is not appa? rent.
