Today's Cabinet Meeting— Mexican Boundary Commission Appointed, The largest part of the day ut the White House was taken up by the cebinet meeting, which was attended by Attorney General Mil- Jer, Postmaster General Wanamaker and Secre- taries Noble, Rusk and Foster. It began at 11:30 and lasted about an hour and a half. THESE SAW THE PRESIDENT. Before the meeting the President saw a num- ber of callers, among them being Justice Strong, Supreme Court; Representative H. ¢ ans, Tennessee: Gen. B. M. Cutcheon, Michiga Mr. K. A. Bacon, Georgia, and Mr. Morgan L. Neville, Chicago. Mr. Bacon called in the interest of Repre- sentative Clements, who is a strong candiclate for one of the vacant positions on the inter- state commerce commission. NO BIO APPOINTMENTS MADE. None of the ripe plume fell from the tree, although the crowd beneath thinks that some- thing is apt to drop any day. ‘That is probably true. ‘The President is likely to fill the vacant luces at any hour, but he is not in a hurry to 0 80. MEXICAN BOUNDARY COMMISSION. During the morning the President appointed Lieut. Col. Jno. W. Barlow, Capt. Thos. W. Symons, engineer corps, and Prof. A. T. Mos- man, geological survey, as members of the Mexican boundary commission, which was authorized by the iast Congress to relocate the existing frontier between the United Statesand Mexico west of the lio Grande. PRESIDENT POLK TALKS, ‘He Denies Some Charges Made About His Re- marks and Treatment in the West. President Polk of the National Farmers’ Al liance has just returned from his western trip | and was found this morning in bis office by a Stan reporter. ‘To the inquiry as to what foundation there was for the report in the press that he was threatened with violence while in Wichita, Kans., by the old soldiers, he said: “There was no foundation for it whatever. I never was treated more kindly or courteously than by the people of Kansas and especially by the old soldiers during my whole trip. I was peculiarly gratified at my — reception by the good people of Wichita and the large number of old soldiers present. I spoke to an immense crowd in the opera house and was never honored by more marked attention anywhere. At the request of some old soldier friends I referred to the charge that I had mis- treated Union prisoners during the war. My language. as reported by the Wichita Beacon, Was this: ‘Iam charged with mistreating Union prisoners during the war and I want to say, that in its conception, in its utterance and in its spirit it isa malicious, premeditated and base lie and I dare the man who said so to stand up in this audience and repeat it. I never cap- tured but one Union prisoner in my life and if he were here tonight he would bear testimony to the fact that I treated himas if Le were my brother.’ HIS POSITION DURING THE WAR. “I never held a higher commission than third lieutenant during the war. I never w in command of any prisoner or prison—-indeed, never was inside of a confederate prison. To show the manifest unfairness and determined purpose of the partisan press to misrepresent me, it is a fact that certain southern papers published this lying dispatch containing the statement that I was a brigadier general in charge of the confederate prison at Salisbury, when they knew that I had neve- held the commission of brigadier general. and were in- excusably ignorant if they did not know that I had never had charge of the prisox. I felt as safe in the streets of Wichita as I would in the streets of Raleigh, and naught but lavish kind- v8 and courtesy greeted me on all hands. is outrageous falsehood was not only a slander on myself. but on the good people of Wichita and the old soldiers as well, and was gotten up for the double purpose of damaging the alliance and of perpetuating sectional prejudice ” OTHER CHARGES DENIZD. As to dispatches charging that he apologized in his speeches Tor having gone into the confed- erate service and spoke approvingly of a strike among the cotton pickers of the south, Col. Polk said: “It is absolutely and unqualifiedly false in every particular. Iuttered no senti in Kansas or elsewhere which by any forced con- struction could have been contorted into ary uch expression. It is a lie out of whole cloth. ‘Ihave never uttered a sentiment in anorthern state that I would not willingly repeat in any southern state. As to the strike of the cotton pickers, I had heard nothing abont it until my return to this office. The ublic will soon learn through the frantic ef- forts of these politicians how utterly unreliable these sensational charges ure. It will be re- membered that as late as the month of July Gen. Weaver and Congressman Simpson went through the state of Georgia on a canvassing tour; they were received with the utmost kind- and cordiality, and yet they had not reached their respective homes before it was heralded tothe world that their lives were seriously threatened by the old rebels, and that actually they had to make their escape in the night time or they would have been mobbed. Slander and misrepresentation count for naught against reason and truth. Asin the past, I shall continue to stand firmly and faithfully by the alliance cause and its prinelples and will not be deterred from what I conceive to be my duty by such attacks.” ——_-e.—_____ AN ANTI-HILL COMMITTEE Mr. Hill Had No Influence in the Recent Democratic Convention. ‘There appears to be a general misunderstand- ing as to the complexion of the New York dem- ocratic committee and as to the general char- actec of the convention which nominated Mr. Flower for governor. ‘The fact that the controlling influence in the convention and in the appointment of the committee was that represented by Murphy and Croker has led to the general statement that everything is in the hands of Mr. Hill. A gentleman who is thoroughly familiar with the New York situation and who has been talking with the men who ran the conven- tion assured a Stan reporter today that Mr. Hill had no say in the convention, and tha while the majority of the committee men associated with Hill, avery minority of them are for Hill now. Both Croker and Murphy, he said, are at outs with Hill and the influence they’ exert is ali anti-Hill. He added thet ‘Mr. “Hill tried’ ‘to get the silver plank in the platform to serve his ambition for the democratic presiden- tial nomination and sent a representative to the convention with the plank he wanted adopted, but that he failed utterly, Croker and the other leaders working for the adoption of fhe plank which was, presented: by the Cleve- land folks and was afterward adopted.

Then foliowed a geu- ssion, and right on the heels of it came the announcement from S. V. White & Co. of their assignment. The reason given at there was a corner in the corn deal and their interest in the stock market was vecy limited. LOST HEAVILY ON CORN. Asamatter of fact the firm was long on 11,000,000 bushels of September corn, which Chicago operators pulled down from 64} to 53 in ten da; The story was that there was another firm mixed up and that S.V. White & Co. were carrying some of their paper. This, however, was demed by the tirm in question The excitement 1s intense and the wildest sort of rumors are flying thick and fast. It is just fifteen years ago since “Deacon” White failed before Mr. Edmund Clarence Stedman, the banker poet, came down to Mr. White's immediately on the ground of his great friendship, an made the following statement to the reporters: A STATEMENT OF THE TROUBLE. “This trouble is due entirely to the great de- cline in corn. For two or three months past the firm has been very long of corn contracts in the September option. The good weather has produced such heavy crops that there wax more corn in the country than was probably known. No assignment hax as yet been made, but one is in process of making. I do not know who the assignee will be. The liabilities or the assets are not known, the whole thing has come #0 suddenly public. "ie failure wil! affect no other house or houses in the slightes: degree whatever. Knowing of their diticulty S. V. White & Co. have not taken any large contracts of late. They have acted with tue greatest honor all through. ‘The stock ‘operations of the firm have of Inte been very small. They have not more than a few hundred shares outstanding on the board. They have confined themselves of lute entirely to corn, in which late deliveries have been very poor. “Any oue who knows 8, V. White knows that he will resume You can'tdown him. There ix no one in Wall «treet who does not sympa- thize with Mr. White. He las helped more men than anybody else on the street. “If everybody on the street whom he has helped should give him £5 he would again be a rich man. He kus. acted in absolute ‘honor, and, I have no doubt, wili beall right in the end. Lam much distreste THE DECISION To assioN. The volume of business in railroad stocks during the last three days has diverted to some extent attention from speculation and invest- ments in breadstufs. Members of the embar- rassed firm have been able to conceal the real state of their actual condition without the slightest didiculty, and so far as the general operators on the street are concerned no ques- tion as to solvency has been even thought of. It was only after thoughtful considerations anda very complete review of the situation that it was decided to make an assigument for the benetit of creditors. There were no contracts outstanding on the floor of the stock exchange and no excitement was caused there by tue announcement. MB, WHITE'S PRIVATE FORTUN! The private fortune of Stephen V. White, so long noted for the success aud boldness of his speculative deals, is estimated at 2,000,000. A number of firms who were borrowing stocks from S. V. White & Co. received notice from the firm before the opening of business today to sell these shares and the market took the stock with scarcely a tremor. Put and call holders who held privileges trom 8. V. White, chiefly calls, and who went short st their options, now find themselves in the predica- ment of having to cover. ‘The failure caused but little excitement at the produce exchange, for the reason that but few of the members were interested in the deal. It is stated that the failure will affect Chicago principally. ‘The price of corn on the produce exchange fell 15g cents at the news of the failure. The liabilities will be very iarge, but Mr. Stedman says he can give no estimate of the amount as yet. ‘The announcement of the failure was made in Chicago simultaneously with the announce- ment here. ‘The members of the New York house are 8. V. White and Franklin W. Hopkin, ‘The Chicago branch consists of 8. V. White, F. W. Hopkins, A. W. Allen and Arthur White. ‘The firm's corn contracts have been made in Chicago. They have ordered all their trades on the Chicago board of trade closed. No STATEMENT BY THE FIRM. The office of the firm after the announcement of suspension was crowded with bankers, bro- kers and reporters, all trying to get some in- formation in regard to the failure. The firm, however, bad no formal statement to make to any of them. It was stated that for some days it had been preparing to, meet the disaster, other houses bers of the firm is involved with Charles W.

Koasell Confer About Kepairs Along the Cable Line. Contractor Cranford, who is doing the asphalt paving work for the Washington and Georgetown Railroad € ‘ompany, 4 upon Capt. Rossell and the Commissioners this morn- ing and stated that the railroad company bad given him carte blanche to repair all damages along the cable construction incident to the ase of the temporary tracks. Mr. Cranford said that he thought about two-thirds of the work was perfectly good, and the Dietrict need have no fear that any damage would ever result therefrom. Kowsell, however, asked Mr. Cranford if he would be willing to guarantee the work (as under his original contract) for a period of five years. He replied in the negative, but said he thought the railroad company would be willing to do it. Capt. Rosell said that all he wanted to do wus to insure the Dis trict against any damage which might result from the rotting of the pavement. If the Commissioners compel the railroad company to resurface the space occupied by temporary tracks it would get a guarantee from the con- tractor to do the work tor five years, and this was certainly better than | auy chances afall. Mr. Cranford said that it would cost upwards of $75,000 to resurface that ortion of the pavements under discussion and an expert he wuld say it was unnecessary, for even at this time ethan om Of the damage is vasivl naked ey: The captain replied that it wae just those | places that you could not see where trouble | was to be expected, as all of the holes made by the spikes that held the temporary trucks in place were filled with dirt and manare, which would likely form the center of rotten giveways. As far as be was concerned | it was perfectly immaterial whether the com | tractor who did the work in the original con- struction of the street ur the railroad company, which subs lamaged it, guaranteed it, 80 long as the District was secure. It ix understood Contractor Cranford will do the work and the railroad company will put upaboud guarantecmg the same fore period of five years. — THE NAVAL OBSEKVATORY.
