POLITICS OF THE DAY What is Said and Thought of Pres- NORTH CAROLINA ALLIANCE MEN MEET | § Elections of the Methodist General Conference. WRECK OF A CIRCUS TRAIN. “HARRISON,” SAYS McKINLEY. Ohio's Governor Says That the President ‘WIN Be Renominated. Cotrmavs, Onto, May 17.—Goy. McKinley anda number of distinguished buckeyes have left for Ann Arbor. At the close of the na- tional convention of republican students a bonquet will be given at which Gov. McKinley will address the students. Before leaving here McKinley said: “President Harrison will be the nominee of the Minneapolis convention and there is no good reason to doubt his re-elec- ion,”* CHAIRMAN CLARKSON’S VIEW. Curcaco, May 17.—Significant expression of opinion on the political situation was given ut- terance here today by Chairman J. 8. Clark- son of the republican national commit- tee. Mr. Clarkson, fully restored = in health, reached Chicago this morning on his way to New York from Hot Springs, Ark. Toa number of newspaper men and friends who called on him st the Grand Pacifie Hotel he said: “The 7,000,000 of republicans who will be represented — at Minnenpolis have not made np their minds regard- ing their candidate. The results of the con- ventions held in the different states clearly show ‘There will be more uninstructed dele- in the Minneapolis convention than has been known in the history of the repub- lican party.” CLEVELAND-HILL FIGHT IN CALIFORNIA. Fresno, Cat., May 17.—The democratic state convention will be called to order here today. ‘The call under which the convention is assembled provides that the convention shall elect delegates to the national convention, choose presidential electors, elect a new state central committee and divide into district conventions and nominate Congressmen. It is expected that the conven- tion will last three days. Fi For in additition to this routine work there are two matters of special interest which are expected to come before the gathering. One is whether delegates to the national convention shall be instructed to vote for Cleveland, and the other is whether the platform shall contain a plank indorsing the San Francisco Traffic Association and de- claring in favor of low freight rates and com- peting overland railroad. The fight for chairman to a limited extent hinges on these questions, The candidates who are put forward are D. A. Ostrom and B. D. Murphy. ‘The Cleveland forces, who wish to instruct and declare in favor of railroad compe- tition, are behind Ostrom, while the Hill men and other conservatives, who think it unwise to instruct and who desire to evade the railroad issue, favor Murphy. ee POLITICIANS MEET SECRETLY. North Carolina Alliance Men at Raleigh— Democratic Convention. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Raretou, N. C., May 17,—A conference of alliance men called by State President Batler met here today. Besides the delegates to that conference several hundred prominent alliance men of state and national reputation are pres- ent,including President Polk. whowill remain un- til the adjournment of the democratic state con- vention, which mects tomorrow. The Butler conference is a secret meeting and no official report of the proceedings can be made. It is jed to make certain demands of the democratic convention. It was said this morning that nearly all the conferees are third party men, and will be extreme in their action, The News and Observer today advises democrats not to let the conference influence action in the con- vention, ‘The democratic convention will be the largest ever held—9$4 delegates. ‘Trains are loaded to- day with politicians. The fight for governor will be between Holt, Sanderlin and Julian 8. Carr. The latter has been gaining ground during the last few weeks and it is extremely probablo he will be nominated. Many Holt and Sander- lin men are for Carr as second choice, and if a break comes in the ranks of either of them noth- ing could prevent his nomination. There is | S360! strong sentiment that he is the most available man at the present crisis, Carr is making no active canvass, but many delegates have been instrueted for him and he will accept the nomi- nation. €or n Alexander will also be placed in nomination, but he will probably withdraw, Elias Carr, ex-president of the state alliance, will be named for treasurer, Chairman State Committee Chambers Smith leading for attor- ney general.

Arcnrsox, Kax., May 17.—The first section of Ring Rhen Brothers’ circus train, east bound on the Central Branch road, was ditched one mile east of Concordia at 2:45 o'clock this morning.

U ESD fit aa THE NEW NAVY. Important Debate on the Naval Ap- proprintion Bill, MR. VILAS OPPOSES ANY INCREASE. He Thinks Enough Ships Are Pro- vided For. THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL. Its Consideration Further Con- tinued in the House, THE SENATE. After the routine morning business Mr. Sher- man introduced # joint resolution to authorize the Washingion Scheutzen Verein to erect at it ‘own expense # colossal bust of Baron von Steu- ben, a general of the revolutionary army, in one of the public parks or reservations of Waehing- ton city, to be aclected by the Secretary of War, the superintendent of public buik and grounds und a Scheutzen Verein. After explanations it was read three times aud 5 MORE AMERICAN SHIPS. Mr. Chandler introduced a bill to authorize the registration of certain steamships as vessels of the United States, and it was referred to the committee on commerce. Mr. Vest referred to Mr. Sherman's statement tome dave ngo that the treasury was confronted with a deficit, and suggested that the warning would have been more appropriate and of in- finitely more utility if it had been given to the last Congress, It was now very much like locking the stable door after the horse was stolen. THE NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL. The naval appropriation bill was taken up— the pending question being the provision for an increase of the navy. The House bill pro- vides for one armored cruiser of about 8,000 tons displacement, to cost elusive of armament) not less than $3,500, gpd the Senate amendment provides (in add tion) for one sea-going coast-line battle ahip of about 9,000 tons displacement, to cost not over $4,000,600; also for one harbor-defense double- turret ship of the monitor type with a displace- ment of about 7,500 tons, to cost not over $3,000,000, four light-draft’ gunboats and six yi torpedo bi FAVORS THE INCREASE. Mr. Higgins made a speech favoring the in- crease of the navy,even if it involved an increase of the national debt. Mr. Vilas desired to state the reasons which would govern his judgment in the vote he felt disposed to give. It was during the administration of President Cleve- land, he said, and under the skillfal manage- ment of Secretary Whitney that the new navy of the United States came into being practically. He made e recapitulation of the present ehips of the navy and suggested the question whether those and the vesscls under construction did not present » sufficiently etrong naval force. Mr. Hale remarked that in order to have @ naval force sufficient to compete with that of England it was only necessary to be able to cope with that emall portion of her navy that could be sent against this country. When that point was reached his ju it would be that the country was sufficiently protected, and that money enough had been spent on the navy. Mr. Vilas said that the idea of England's going to war with the United States in this age of civilization and good sense was simply pre- posterous, The characterization might be a but the contingency was (at least) al- almost an impossible one. He did not treat a8 a very serious one the objection made by Mr. Gorman last Friday that ces- sation of the building of war ships would crip- ple the great steel plate rolling industries of the country. That objection would be growing In the present condition of the treasury could Congress (Mr. Vilas aaked) Justify great additions to the appropria- tions’ He thought not. If the Senator from Mary- land were present he would ark him how could the democratic party go before the people of the country if it yielded on that matter aad added unnecessarily to the publie burden. But he appealed to all Senators, ‘It was hot (at least it ought not to be) a party question. All Senators were interested alike in it. If the total annual appropria- tions for the year were paid. equally by the states in proportion to their population, Wisconsin would have « to ¥ $13,500,000, Illinois $80,000,000 and owe $15,000,000," The nt of anni appropriations now im upon the country’ might, not impropelis, ‘be “de- scribed as appulling. It threatened not merely the omfort of the labori classes of the country, but it threaten something more. It threatened the security of the country in some degree. He thought that the Senate should measure the su posed necessity for an increase of the navy with temperance, with calm business judgment, and le was unable to think that the Senate ehould go farther under the present cir- cumstances than the House bill provided. He should be glad to see even that provision withdrawn unless there appeared to be greater necessity for it than he hud yet heard suggested, THE HOUSE. Even the prospect of a silver skirmish, if not a battle, today did not have the effect of bring- ing a large attendance to the House this morn- ing, and there were not 100 members present when the hour of noon arrived. ‘MR. WALKER'S OBJECTION. The journal having been rend Mr, Walker lass.) objected to its approval. He did so for the reason that the resolution to expunge cer- tain remarks of his from the record was a special order for yesterday, but was not called up.

The anti-Harrison folks have been holding more conferences for the purpose of deter- mining what sort of ground they are standing on. With all their bopes placed in Blaine they are made very anxious by the doubt in which he keeps them. They have redoubled their efforts within the past two days to get seme ex- pression of opinion or indication of purpose from him, but they have failed to get anything from him.

Mr. Simpson saya that the third party is as much in confusion over their nomination as are the other two but that % looks like Weaver Towa, He says that if the republicans nominate Blaine it will be the worst poseible thing for the democrats and the third party. ———_—_e-____ DISTRICT IN CONGRESS.
