CLEVELAND AND SILVER, ‘What the Ex-President’s Friends Believe to Be His True Attitude, ‘BIS VIEWS WOULD CHANGE IF HE WERE AGAIK ELECTED PRESIDENT AND THE CONDITIONS CHANGED—HE DOES NOT DESIRE ANY DIVISION OF HIS PARTY ON THE TARIFF QUESTION. The opinion is expressed by some who think they understand Mr. Cleveland’s attitude with relation to his party and the silver question that the trouble with the second-hand inter- view on the subject which has been published and in part repudiated lies chiefly in the form of expression. It is well known by all of Mr. Cleveland's intimates that one of his chief prides is in his frankness and entire freedom from any disposition to “trim” for political advantage; he would rather be bold than appear politic. He would rather be misunderstood than to run the risk of ap- Pearing timid in an explanation. Some of the admirers of Mr. Cleveland believe that his at- titude on the silver question was very nearly described in the New York interview with Mr. Stephens, but that"Mr. Cleveland in giving ut- terance to substantially the same ideas would ®0 express himself as to give no room for the suspicion that he was trying to placate those who have been offended by his former declara- tions. HIS REAL ATTITUDE. Tho day the silver letter to the Reform Club of New York was printed an interview with Representative Tracey of New York, who is » warm admirer of Mr. Cleveland, as well asa personal friend, was printed in Tar Stan. In this interview’ Mr. ‘Tracey said: “He (Mr. Cleveland) has decided convictions in oppoxi- tion to trying the experiment of free — 4 at present, and it is better that he frankly ma them known when circumstances arose calling for a statement of his views.” On reading this interview Mr. Cleveland wrote to Mr. Tracey stating that the interview correctly represented his attitude. WOULD NoT VETO A FRER COINAGE BILL. Democratic politicians who believe that Mr. Cleveland is going to be the party nominee and that his utterances on the silver question are not going to hurt him in the least declare the belief that if time should prove that free coin- age were desirable, Cleveland, being President, would not veto @ free coinage bill. They do not for a moment pretead to doubt the sincerity of Mr. Cleveland's opposition to free coinage at this time, nor that that opposition would continue the same if the conditions re- mained the same, but think that if, as they be- lieve will be the case, the strength and stabil- ity of silver asa money metal should be dem- onstrated within the next two or three years Mir, Cleveland would be free to recognize the t. HE 18 AGAINST PARTY DIVISION. The opinion is expremed that Mr. Cleveland, when he wrote his famous letter, had the ques- tion of party policy in mind as much as he had the abstract question of coinage of silver, and that even if he bad been personally favorable to the free coinage of silver as an ultimate re- sult he would have as earnestly advised against any committal of the party to a free-coinage icy as long as w division on that question threatened a division of the party and en- dangered their chance of ever lan ing in a po- sition to handle that or any other question successfully. Entirely aside from his convictions on the silver question he is said to be opposed to running the risk of a party divi- sion on any question of policy until they have made the fight to a finish on the tariff issue, in Which he expects his party to win. Having gone into power, so that what they might do one way or the other would be of some conse- quence, then, it is said, he believes it would be tume enough to determine upon new issues and to try to put their future play, into effect. SENTIMENTAL POLITICS. Many of those who are in perfect sympathy with him in all matters aside from the financial question believe that it would be very unwise to divide the party and probably defeat it by loading themselves all at once with more than they can carry, for if they keep themselves permanently out of power by sentimental politics they will not be in a position to secure free coinage or anything else they may have their hearts on. It is believed that Mr. Cleveland would have worded his silver letter differently if he had had the chance a few hours after he sent it to the Reform Club, but he would have expressed substantially the same seztiments and that if he were placed in the same position today he would occupy the same attitude, and he will occupy the same attitude until the con- ditions are such as to warrant the belief that free coinage of silver would be safe. Whether these conditions will come about between now and '92 or "St is a thing which time alone can answer. GREAT GATHE! OF SCIENTISTS. This Summer to Be = Notable One in Washington.

Kome Shaken to Its Foundations—Lives Lost —Many Persons Injured —Butldings Ruined. Rome, April 23.—At about 7 o'clock this morning a tremendous explosion shook this city to its foundations, spreading terror and dismay on all sides. The people rushed af- frighted from their homes into the streets; bouses rocked, pictures fell from the walls, thousands of panes of glass were broken every where, crockery was shattered, furniture was overturned, chimneys crashed down upon the Toofs and in some instances toppled over into the streets below. The cupola of the bouses of parliament immediately after the jonon, shook violen 4 then collapsed with « h added still further to the feeling horror which had epread through Rome. SCENES IX THE STREETS. The scenes in the streets and in the houses after this explosion have possibly never before been equaled in dramatic effect during the history of modern Rome. All the thorough- fares were strewn with bricks, stones, splinters and other debris hurled the: the force of the powerful concussion which bad caused Rome to totter on its foundations. People of ali ages and conditions were rushing, pale with fear, about the streets trying to seek console m from others who were as theroughly ter rified as themselves. In the houses Tindows and cupboards were burst open the tables, chairs and other pieces of furniture were thrown crashing to the floor. Rents and cracks appeared in the walls, the plaster fell from the ceilings and general ion pre vailed In many instances people were jerked from their beds by the shock which caused #o much alarm, and cries of terror filled the air as thousands of families rushed out into the streets. Many of them left their homes in their nightdremes and in other states of un= dress. Parents with their children in their arms, children leading aged parents, the younger helping the elders, all made for the streets, as if their only chance of safety de- pended upon their being able to reach the ‘open air. AN EARTHQUAKE FEARED. ‘The general opinion that prevailed was that Rome had been visited by an earthquake shock and that a second shock might reduce the city to ruins. Many fell upon their knees and prayed aloud. Finally, when ‘something like order had been restored, the real cause of the it was T magazine at Pozzo Pantaleo, four kilometers from here, contains ing 250 tons of powder, exploded, and that i had caused enormous ‘damage to the neigh boring fort, which was filled with soldiers. The Teportsof the affair which have reached bere add that, happily, the oflicer in command of the fort hearda rumbling sound previous to the final explosion and hastily ordering the soldiers to leave the fort he succeeded in avert ing @ terrible disaster. FIVE PERSONS KILLED, As it was five persons who were in the vicinity of the scene of the explosion were killed out Tight and a large number of others were more or less injured. All the houses within a radius of a kilometer of the scene of the explosion are damaged. Forty are in ruins. Two officers were rously wounded, and fully 120 civilians have been taken to the different hospitals suffering from wounds or bruises caused by the explosion. As this dispatch is sent King Humbert and his military staff, accompanied by the Italian mier, Marquis di Kudini, and by all the Tnombers of the Tallon cabinek, heve ters ths city for the scene of the disaster. Around the ruins of the powder magazine and of the fort a cordon of has been drawn in order to keep Lack the crowds of peo who, now that the cause of the e: ry own, bave flocked to Pozzo Pant eager touve the powder-blachened ruins. The troops, however, have instructions not to allow uy civilians to pass through the cordon until the official investigation Low being made into the origin of the explosion has been completed. KING HUMBERT ON THE SOENE. King Humbert, who was heartily cheered whenever his presence became known to the people and soldiery, used his own carriage to convey wounded hompit which wou him redoubled applause Wi came generally known. The races, cluded the Italian derby, which wore to have been run this afternoon, have beon postponed ‘on account of the explosion. ‘The shock which caused Rome to tremble did not spare the Vatican. That venerated pile shook with the rest of the Roman buildings when the force of the explosion was felt and several of the famous historical stained glass Windows of the old buildings were shattered. The windows in the ancient Kaphael chambers and the stained glass in the royal staircase, presented to Pope Pius by the King of Bavaria, were also seriously injured Naturally the full amount of the done is not known at prevent, and, “possibly, may never be known, but all’ accounts agres that the loss is very severe, the interiors of many of the old palaces and churches having suffered to.a grester or low extent, ‘The exact number of killed and wounded is also um known at present. a LINES TIED UP.
