Gossipy politicians around the Senate end of the Capitol today assert that Gen. Clarkson has s good reason for looking dubious when it is suggested that President Harrison will be renominated by acclamation. It is also intimated that the Minneapolis and St. Paul people are in secord | with him for purely business reasons. When the twin cities joined hands to have the repub- lican convention located in their midst they raised a large sum of money to meet the neces- sary expenses. This cash was contributed by hotel and business men, upon the understand that the sestion of the conven: be prolonged ible so that the which was cast upon the waters last November might re- turn with butter on at least one side. With a knowledge of these conditions it is not dificult tounderstand why Minnesotans shake their heads and talk hopefully of every other posmble nominee than Gen. Harrison. It will readily be seen that if the impression once got abroad that the convention would ehut up immediately after the first ballot the crowd in stienstence would be comparatively smalland profitless. —__- - «+ SOCIAL MATTERS.

Cutting the Items in the River and Harber Bill, ‘The Senate commerce committee today ap- plied the pruning knife liberally to the river and harbor appropriation bill. Probably the discussions in both Houses of Congress re- cently led to this action, but however that, may. be, althongh the bill had been reported to the Senate and was to be called up for action probably today, the committee at the last moment decided that the total of the bill as reported to the Senate— $21,346,975—was too large, and realizing the endless trouble and dissatisfaction that would follow any effort to discriminate between the various contracts and continuing appropriation Projects which it was determined should bear the brant of the reduction adopted the course of reducing the appropriations of all of them 25 per cent. rr ae the reduction of the spp made by the bill by e088 7 caer that total down to $20,381,368, which is nearly $1,000,000 less than the appropriation made by the bill as it came from the House. The projects which were scaled down were as follows: Port Judith, It. I., reduced: from $100,000 to $75,000; Charleston, 8. C., from $300,000 to 000; Savannah, Ga., from $425,000 to $318,750; Mobile, Aln., from $250,000, to $187,500: Humboldt,’ Cal., from — §200,000 to" $150,000; from to lakes, from $500,000 to $375,000; cascades Columbia from $435,000 to @326,250: Great Kanawha, West Virginia, from 300,000 to eens St. Jobn's river, Fla., from $150,000 to $112,500; lower Miseburl, from $750,000 to $562,500; Dalles of Columbia, from $250,000 to $157,500. ae NO TROLLEY WIRES. Probable Action of the Senate Committee on the Metropolitan Railroad Resolution. Seriator McMillan and Clerk Moore of the Senate District committee visited the offices of the Metropolitan Railway Company this morn- ing on a tour of investigation. The Mouse resolution extending the time before which the company shall be compelled to change its motor is in the hands of the Senate committee just now and Senator McMillan desired all at- taiuable information as to the company's offorts to bring about a change before he submitted a report on the resolution to the full committee, something he will probably do on Friday. The resolution will be badly mutilated anyhow, for the action of the Senate committee at its’ last meeting knocked out every prop that stood be- neath the trolley proposition’ in’ the. northern end of the Capita. ‘It is not improbable that the House resolution will be carefully laid away on or beneath the table and that a new resolu- tion granting simply an extension of time will be passed by e.

Herbert Bryant, chairman of the city commit | Gi tee on streets, has been watchful to see that the work should -— done, and in consequence of is representations themed used in his work has been changed to a better quality and the ramming of the work has been more thoroughly done. The ordinance which grants the right of way over the city streets provides that the railway tracks “ not obstruct the ordinary use of the streets upon which they shall be laid, nor affect injuri- ously the drainage thereof,’ * * * and the company shall keep their tracks and the space between the tracks and two feet on leetrade iharear paved and in good repair.” There is no. provision requ uiring the ape company to use the same kind of pavement as that used on the street. The company have the right of way over portions of Columbus, Oro- noko, Fairfax, Doke, Royal,Franklin and Payne streets, but they have until the Ist day of January, 1893, to make their road on these streets. The Cameron street route and part of the Columbus street route will be completed this May, and within ninety days the Fairfax, Pe and Royal street routes will be com- pleted, as the company is pressing the work forward with great vigor.

Reference was made to the building of @ ca- thedral in Washington. Land and money to the amount of $260,000 had been given. There had been some criticism in regard to the loca- tion, but it would be some years be- fore the cathedral could be built and by that time he believed the location would be Quite near the center of Washington. In ite Present phase the enterprise needed no action at tho present convention, Those having jcharge of it are carefully going over the round and getting | ready, t 9 on with the work as soon ae the fun secured. ‘The bishop spoke of the texportence of the cathedral and said, that it be was intended Al. to ® mere local enterprise, but one that would be diocesan in’ ite scope. He expressed the hope that the enterprise would have the fa- voruble consideration of all the members of the convention, RECOMMENDATIONS MADE. The bishop suggested that a committee of five be appointed to confer with the trustees of St. James Coltege with the view of determin- ing whether the institution can be consolidated with the house school mede possible by the benefactions of Mrs, Warticld at Sikesville, Md. The bishop recommended that owing to the increase of the work of his office that lowed the services of a good man as clerk and tance such aman could give would be of more value than what an assistant could bring to the aid of the bishop. Kefcrence wax made to the trouble between the vestry and rector of St. Matthew's Chu Oakland, Md., and the bishop spoke at length the relations between vestries and rectors. ‘The address of the bishop was quite lengthy and when he bad concluded a resolution was adopted directing the bishop taappoint a com- mittee to conter with a com@Mittee from the diocese of Easton relative to the relations between rector and A commitice was also authorized to be ap- pointed to take into consideration that portion of the bishop's widress relating to his assistant. It was decided to hold daily sessions until 1:30 each day and then take a recess of three- quarters of an hour for lunch. The afternoon session will continue until 4.30 and the evening to begin at 8 o'clock. At 1:30 the convention adjourned for lunch, which was served in the room in the rear of the church by the ladies of the A missionary moetit ing at Epiphany Churc — FREE ART. Strong Appeals Made to the House Waysand ‘Means Committee. Anumber of advocates of free art, repre- senting the National Art Association now bold- ing a congress here, appeared before the ways and means committee of the House today to present to the committee their plea for the free admission into this country of the fine arts, Among those present were John Armstrong Chandler, T. Carroll Beckwith, Edward E. Sim- mons, John Sartine, Wm. A. Coffin, Stanford White. F. D, Millett, H. Watrous, Thomas A. Eakins, C. Coleman, H. R. Butler Mrs. Pandrau Wheeler and Cora Wheeler Keith and Miss Kate Field. Miss Kate Field read a communication from Albert Bierstadt, the -distingwivhed artist, in which he advocated the free admission of art in strong sterms, and raid the United States was the only country that levied a tax on works of art. American art, he said, will not revive in this country until the obstructions to its true progress are removed, and when art was made ree the cornerstone of a new prosperity would be laid. Miss Field also read a letter from J. Q. A. Ward advocating free art. Mr. J. Carroli Beckwith, president of the Na- tional Free Art League, spoke briefly on the work of the league and former legislation for the advancement of art. He, too, urged upon the committee the necessity uf removing the tax on art, in order, as he said, to properly educate our art students end save ‘them the expense of going abroad to pursue their studies. Wm. A. Coftin, secretary of the Society of American Artists, made a general argument for free art. in which he said that beyoud dispute since the Philadelphia centennial there had been a great increase in the interest of free art in the country. He denied that art was a luxury and stated that while the pictures of t value were usually owned by the rich, still this did not ee vent the poor from obtaining a glimpre of wrhon they were displayed in Gallertce and sta- dios where all could see them. Tax on art, he thought, was a tax on education. Jolin Armstrong Chandler stated that he had recently raised $60,000 in Boston, Cincinnati and other cities to be used in sending pupils from the various art institutions abr. for an advanced course in their studies. He also ad- vocated free art and said that if it was neces- sary to impress the committee he could pro- duce letters from the leading art institutions of the country favoring the ste] Edward E. bimmons of Massachusetts, who has resided abroad for a number of yeurs, made a short argument in the same line. At the conclusion of the hearing Miss Field threatened the committee good naturedly that asa woman and an editor she would make their lives a a aloes they made art free. same arguments for free art were also = fet by the delegation before the Senate committee on fivauce later in the day. —_ THE COURTS. eet r Couns Justice Montgomery. ‘ague agt.
