SEVERAL MEMBERS EXPRESS THEIR ViEWS—TRET SEEM TO THINK THE SEXATOR HAS SECURED AN ADVANTAGE IN GETTING HIS STATE DELEGATION SOLID. While the action of the New York state con- vention has been anticipated for some time, the thing being now an accomplished fact, it is the topic of discussion at the Capitol today. ‘The free silver sentiment in the House leads to an opposition to Mr. Cleveland from the worshipers at this idol, which permits them to watch with unconcern the development of the Hill boom, thongh they usually confess that Mr. Cleveland is strong with the mass of peo- ple at their homes. The silver men construe Mr. Hill's expressions on the silver ques- tion to mean that he will not oppose any convictions of his own against those of a ma- jority of his party, and even though they may be convinced that he is merely dodging the question they prefer a man who stands enough in favor of them to avoid an issue to one who boldly opposes them. It is evident that it is a pro-silver sentiment that makes a pro-Hill man. It is remarkable, however, how few are ready to admit the inference from the York convention that Mr. Hill will carry the national convention. WHAT THE SOUTH WILL DEMAND. It is evident that the southern men will want tobe convinced that the protest of the inde- pendent democrats in New York is not strong enough to endanger Hill's election before they will commit themselves to him. Had the New York state convention indorsed Cleveland it would have called forth a universal declaration ghat his nomination wae sseired. STRANDED COLONISTS The Society Claimed to Be Not Re~ HENRY COTTON OF ENGLAND DEAD, Brave Efforts of a McKeesport, Pa., Fireman. OTHER TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. THE STRANDED COLONISTS, ‘They Will Be Sent to Liberia by the Colonie tation Society. New Yorx, Feb. 23.—Rev. Dr. Thomas Q Addison, rector of Trivity Church, Washing- ton, and Reginaid Fendall of the same city are here representing the Awerican Colonization Society in connection with the negroes whe are stranded in New York. Both are members of the execntive commit: tee of the society, and the first had of the stran: the newspapers. Th ing aud were met by # delegation from the would-be colonists. “We intend,” said Dr. Addison to the colonist delegation, “to get help from the charitably disposed people of New York for the Purpose of sending you to Liberia.” This seemed to please the delegates Mr. Fendall eaid toa roporsor “We will place our check for €2,000 with the treasurer of the fund to be r oviding ® su tion of £15,000 be o! lineddivon. it will take $20,000 to send the 200 people to Liberia and keep them for six months. We intend to pubic eting © week from today. We no idea that any such excursion had been up for Liberia, although we bad ar- ranged for @ year or more to transport forty intending colonists from Morrelltown, Ark., bud We instructed them not to report in New Kerk until March 9%.” Bishop Potter is president of the American Colonization Society and the executive com- mittee includes Judge Charles Knott of the United States courts, Rev. Dr. Sun Rev. Dr. Huntington, professor in the Colum- bian University, Washington, and ex-Superim- tendent of Public Schools W. J. Ormonde. Dr. Addison said the committee never asked pany one to goto Liberia, but simply assisted With Hill as the choice of the state convention the politicians in Washington are not as ready to spring to the conclusion that his nomination ‘is assured. REPRESENTATIVE BROWN'S VIEWS. Representative Jason Brown of Indiana said toaSran reporter that, of course, there was no surprise in the action of the New York con- vention,as it had been anticipated for a month or more. It was impossible, he thought, to pre- dict what would be the result of the anti-Hill movement in the state, but it might lead to the defeat of any New York man. -Going to the convention with a solid New York delegation behind him, he thought, Senator Hill would be a formidable candidate, and it might be diffi- cult for Mr. Cleveland to get the nomination, not having a single delegate for him, yet it was impossible to tell what popular ‘sentiment might bring about. Mr. Cleveland, he eid, was Nery strong with the massos in Indians, ough some ot 1c iticians opposed bim, and fo believed that fr nocinatcl Mr. Clove: land could carry the state against any outside man. The Indiana delegation would go to the Chicago convention, he thougnt, support- ing Mr. Gray for the presidential nomination, and thus it would be neither Hill nor anti-Hill, except in the general way that 1t would be for some one else. At the same time, he wasof the opinion that Mr. Hill’snomination for the pres- idency would mean the nomination of Mr. Gray as second on the ticket. ‘WHAT GEN. FORNEY SaYs. Gen. Forney of Alabama said that he thought the action of the New York state convention, together with the protests of the anti-Hill men, would stir up the people all over the country, to that the ight between Cleveland and Hill would be pretty well settled between now and the convention. As far as the soath was con- cerned, he said, they would look on at this pre- liminary contest and their votes would be cast for the man whom they believed could be elected. He was rather of the opinion that it would be either Hill or Cleveland, but a great many things happened in a day about conven- tion time, and it might be that Gorman, Boise or Morrison would indicate such strength that it would make the nomination of one of them very wise. Hill going to the convention witha solid New York delegation, of course, gave bi a considerable advantage at the start. To over- come this the Cleveland sentiment throughout the country would have to amount to « ground cs BILL AS CAPTURED NEW TORK. Representative Covert of New York said: “There 1s one thing that is evident to us all. Mr. Hill has captured New York and has the solid delegation; that is an accomplished fact. ‘The strength of ‘the anti-Hill movement is yet to be developed; much depends upon this. It will take time to determine how strong the movement is, and until this is determined one such as are comprised in this circular. In view, can hardly venture an opinion as to just what Mr. Hill's position is. ‘The anti-Hill move- ment may show very great strength or it may not. That is the uncertain thing in the situa- tion at this time.” HILL'S TREMENDOUS ADVANTAGE. Mr. Crain (Tex.) said that having the solid New York delegation it would give Mr. Hills tremendous advantage before the convention, and it would be difficult to overcome it. The object of the southern people was to elect the President, and they would be for whatever can- didate they thought would stand the best chance of success. When he left Texas at the opening of Congress the Cleveland sentiment in that state wasverystrong. He said he had not been — lately, but ret wggerea ‘that Hill was gaining strength steadily. “that, take the mass “The fact is,” he of the people of Texas, they are for free silver, as I’ beheve ‘the masses are generally in te country. In spots there is an anti-silver senti- ment in the state, and silver is probably not as strong in my district as in some other parts. So you can see, taking the state over, that Mr. Cieveland’s attitude on the silver question is calculated to weaken him. As far as the Tam- many control is concerned, I am not frightened by the buguboo. I remember at the close of the war Tammany was the only democratic or- ganization in the country and upon it was formed the party.” —————— MUST COME TO TIME, Commissioner Simonds’ Circular to the Chiefs of Division in the Patent Office. The following circular has been sent to the chiefs of division in the patent office: It has been brought to my notice that the chiefs of divisions in this office do not all have the same understanding of the circular of the Secretary of the Interior, dated January 2, 1892, with regard to the keeping of the efficiency records.

Coppinger, at Washington on February 9, had caused some confusion in the plan of the society. Mr. Cop- pinger's death was sudden, he having been all only afew days. The secretary conducted alll the details of the affair and for the present the executive committee are at sea in regard to the business.
