Mr. Cleveland’s Humorously Treated Theme at the Bankers’ Banquet. Ex-President Cleveland made an after-dinner speech at the chamber of commerce banquet in New York on Tuesday night that was remark- ably well received. It abounded in a style of banter which no one suspected Mr. Cleveland Possessed. After speaking of commercial rec- iprocity and its advantages, he said that he was strongly tempted to say something about Mr. Depew, but the fact that every other speaker of the evening had metaphorically jumped on that gentleman made him hesitate. Btill, Mr, Depew was able to stand a great deal of jumping on and was competent to fight any number of men who might attack him, CLEVELAND'S FIRST NOMINATION, “When Mr. Depew spoke of Mr. Springer in connection with myself,” said Mr. Cleveland, “I could not help thinking that Mr. Springer had learned the trick of nominating from Mr. Depew himself. As a matter of fact, Mr. Springer said a very innocent thing and he was probably impelled to the utterance by Mr. De- ew's example. I well remember the first time ever saw Mr. Depew. It wasin Albany. At that time I was governor of the state, and the occasion was a banquet of some kind—a fire company’s anniversary or something of that sort. Iwas then quiet, unambitious man, content and happy in the belief that I was do- ing the state some service. 1 bad ed a most elaborate address, and when I given utterance to it Mr. Depew arose and congratu- lated the people that they had at last elected governor who could make an after-dinn speech. He said many other nice and com; mentary things of me, and then made this statement: “I know of nothing better for the demo- cratic party than that it should nominate Mr. Cleveland for the highest gift within the power of the people. And I know of nothing better for the republican party than that it should nominate for the presidency that great and glorious statesman whose name rises in the minds of every one here, but does not rise to my lips!” “I was astonished and puzzled. My sereni was disturbed, It was the first nomination had received for the presidency, and I was agitated. One other thought came to my mind and it has lingered there ever since. That concerned the identity of the great unnamed statesman towhom Mr. Depew had alluded and the inevitable conclusion was forced upon me that the reason Mr. Depew did not mention that statesman’s name was because he was sud- denly struck with overwhelming Loopy ag at submit it to youif this example of De- pew’s does not excuse Mr. Springer. HIS DESIRE TO RECIPROCATE. “Well, as time advanced there was a national administration with which I had something to do. Atleast I have been held responsible for all the errors and reverses of my party since that time. Nevertheless I made up my mind at the time of Mr. Depew’s Albany nomination of me for the presidency that I would return the favor and nominate him for the Presidency whenever I could doso without harm to myself. Surely that is reciprocity. “But the difference between Mr. Depew and myself in this matter of nomination—he was ali magnanimity and generosity and I am all selfishness. He said so many kind and compli- mentary things of me that his party condemned him. His expressed admiration of me caused @ western adherent of his to write him a letter, in which the writer declared that, while he had always regarded Mr. Depew as an ideal man and one in whom there is rare presidential timber, after what Mr. Depew had said of that fellow Cleveland the western adherent would not vote for him for townmaster. All this car- ries with it an acknowledgment and a confes- sion, and I still declare that,whenever I can do so without harm to myself, I shall reciprocate Mr. Depew’s kindness and nominate him for the presidency. z Mr. Cleveland's remarks were received with cheers and immoderate laughter, in which Mr. Depew joined with apparently vast enjoyment, — soe should have 300 and the foreign conference 200 delegates in the council, and a committee Was uppointed to apportion the 300 American delegates. A discussion took place as to the site. Bishop Hurst favored Baltimore, Dr. 8. F. Mor- gan, Philadelphia, and Dr. Hamilton, Wash- ington. Finally the question was referred to & committee consisting of Bishop Hurst, Bisho) Bowman, Rev. Dr. E H. Wisner, Cc. Phillips, Griftin and Dr. J. W. Gassawa: ‘This committee reported in the afternoon in favor of Bultimore, provided the necessary fund for entertainment can be secured, but the whole committee substituted Washington in place of Baltimore.

Justice of the Peace Gassaway of Annapolis has called the attention of State's Attorney Monroe toa case of alleged cruelty, in which a woman is said to have been horsewhipped by the keeper of the Anne Arundel county alms- house while she was an inmate of that institu- | fioa.

It is perfectly formed im every particular and, the physicians state, will live, with proper care. ir. and Mrs. Donaldson are both healthy and robust and have four other stout and healthy children. They feel very proud of their little baby, which has been the talk of the neighberhood for miles around. Hundreds of persons have visited their home and admired the little one.

Norton Will Cross the Atlantic in @ Double Bottom Vessel. The midget steamer Norton will sail from New York on Saturday for Toulon, France. She was designed by her captain, Francis L. Norton, and measures 58 feet over ail; her ] beam is 12 feet, and she has a draught of 6 feet 434 inches when loaded with 8 tons of coal, her full capacity, She can steam 8 miles an hour with her 30-horse-power engines, but her commander expects to run at least 250 miles a day, burning but half a ton of coal. She car- ries an enormous amount of canvass for such a small vessel, especially a steamer, and her speed will be greatly increased when a favor- able wind prevails. Capt. Norton expects to make the trip in nine days, He sailed the 36-foot yawl Neversink to the Paris exposition last year, and he is the man who in 18@ made the passage from Boston to London in the yacht Ocean Pearl. The Norton is constructed on the water bal- last system, of which Capt. Norton is the in- ventor, and which it is his ambition to have adopted by France for her life boats. She has a double bottom, divided into six ballast com- partments lying on each side of the keel and made of galvanized iron. Close to the keel in the bottom of each chamber is an open- ing fitted with a lead sleeve. CANNOT BE UPSET. The sleeve is perfectly water-tight. The weight of the boat drives the water through these openings and fills the chamber, the air being driven out through the main deck auto- matic tubes. The boat therefore floats on the inner pbottom. Two life boats constructed on this plan are on board the Norton, and, like the large boat, Capt. Norton says, they cannot be capsized by the ordinary waves, The crew of the vessel consists of Chief Engi- neer Wm. Crawford, Assistant Engineer Arthur McClaran, Sailing ' Master Carisen, Steward Geo. Marshall, Seamen John Neilson and Thos, Anderson and a cabin boy named Robinson. Mrs. Norton accompanied her husband on the Neversink. Capt. Norton's niece, Mise Rickaby, who is the other passenger, is also a good sailor, Each lady, the captain and steward have sepa- rate cabins, while there is galley or kitchen, a dining room, several good-sized closets, com- modious quarters for the crew and an engine room that compares favorably with those of larger yachts, ‘as Consolidating World’s Fair Exhibits. At Tuesday's meeting of the congressional committee on the world’s fair Hon. Edwin Wil- lets, assistant secretary of the Department of Agriculture and a member of the government board comprising representatives of the dif- ferent departments at Washington, was very positive in the opinion that the site question should be settled ut once; that it should not be a divided si that the government exhibit should be close to the state agricultural and live stock exhibits, and that Jackson Park was the best place for the main body of the show, At the meeting of the fair commission in the afternoon a resolution that all plans for public buildings be referred to the committee on grounds was passed. Then Mr. M. H. DeYoung of California offered a resolution reciting that as the proposition for a double si nant to the experienced judgme: sense of the entire world the ac commission in accepting the various sites offered be rescinded. The board of directo: was requested to immediately furnish the com- mission with a site where the exposition can be held as one exhibit. Que A donation of £50 from Sir Edward Clarke, M.

PRINCE Is PUGNACIUUS. President Prince of the Bostons declares that he is by no means ready to quit. This may be ® “bluff” toinduce better terms from the Na- tional League. “You will find,” said Mr. Prince yesterday, “that we have not gone on our knees yet, and that we do not propose to do We sturted to stay, and we propose so to do. Our people, almost to a man, will stand by us. They see, too, that to return to the old body means nothing but a decrease in salarics and inferior treatment to what we have given them.” Mr. Prince Proposes to fight for the rights of the Players’ League for all they are worth. He has consulted the best attorneys onthe subject, and his own opinions on the matter are strengthened by the fact that the opinion Cabs to the league people as to the Players’ ague constitution and contract coincides exactly with that which has been given his side. As soon as he was enabled to act on the legal advice received Mr. Prince placed himself in communication with counsel in cities where deals of consolidation had boen going on, and instructed them to protect the interests of the Players’ League, Mr. Irwin has gone to New Ye where be will confer with the representa- tives of the Brooklyn and Philadelphia clubs, Secretary Brunell has not been idle, but has been busy preparing fora legal fight. JOHNSON’S OFFER, “Al" Johnson of the Cleveland and Cincin- nati (P.L.) clubs yesterday submitted to the National League a proposition to sell out. The substance of Johnson’s proposition is that the league pay him $25,000 cash for every- thing connecte ith his Cleveland Club and 7,500 for his interest in the Cincinnati Club. This is $8,000 less than he offered to quit base ball for in his etatement to the league last Sat- urday. The league offered him $29,000 and he refused it, but now he virtually accepts it, It issafe tosay that Johnson’s proposition will not be accepted, PROSPECTIVE ASSOCIATION CLUBS.

Rev. Vaughan 8. Collins presided, and in the absence of the secretary Mr. Roszel Cathcart was elected to that office, with W. C. Woodward and Chas. J. Stengle, both of this city, assist- ants, The president in his report stated that there are now about ten crganized presiding elders’ district leagues and about 150 local chapters. This is # tenfold increase_in local chapters, The report concludes by saying that the efficiency and success of the Epworth League can be added to by adopting a financial system by which the district expenses can be met without burdening the churches. The remainder of the day session was taken up with hearing reports from Fotos elders’ districts and local chapters and devotional exercises, ‘Will Sue Mrs. Bateman.

The Meaning of His Son’s Election to the Pacific Mail Presidency. The election of George Gould to the presi- dency of the Pacific Mail Steamship line, as narrated in yesterday's Stax, was the result of patient planning. Since early last spring, when George Gould was ousted from the presi- dency of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company by C. P, Huntingdon and his friends, the Goulds have been lying low, waiting for an oppor- tunity to regain control of the company. This they have now accomplished. The retirement last May of George Gould from the presidency of the company and the causes that led to it are still rememberef by railroad managers, Young Gould had a plan of promoting the in- terests of the Pacific Mail Company by start- ing steamship lines between Tacoma and Ja- pan and China. The carrying out of this scheme would have hurt some of the interests re; nted in the Pacific Mail Steamship Company's directory, Mr, Hunt- ingdon and his friends op; it, and got to- gether sufficient holdings to retire George Gould, and put a stop to his steamship scheme. The stock went up at once as soon as the Goulds lost control, but went down with the general crash of the past few weeks, and when at the bottom figures the Goulds began to buy. They are now on top again and Jay Gould him- self is out ina card announcing the victory. According to the New York special to the Balti- more Sun he says: “Good will come ont of the present depres- sion, Some railroad managers will not feel as big as they dida few months ago, I have noticed a mellowing already on the part of a few of them. The big head isa terrible dis- ease, and if I ever get it I hope my friends will put me inan asylum.

The uncertaiuty in financial circles in New York caused an unsettled feeling to possess the minds of those who have deposits in the banks of the city, particularly among the poorer peo- ple. Depositors in the Citizens’s Saving Bank of the city of New York at Bowery and Canal street besieged its doors yesterday from the opening hour till 6 o’clock, when the doors were closed with difficulty. All day long a crowd surrounded the bank and clamored for admission. The officials paid the demands of the depositors with as much expedition as possible, but it was impossible to pass over the money quickly enough to satisfy the appli- cants, who were laboring under the impression that the bank had failed. President Quintard, at the close of the day, said about $100,000 had been paid out, averaging about $75 to a de- positor. Mr. Quintard said that the bank was allright.
