He received no callers, and at 11 o'clock drove to the house of his daughter, Mrs. Damrosch. E; ‘ker Reed. Murat Halstead and a num- ber of other politicians called, but failed to see Mr. Blaine. The Secretary seemed to be in excellent spirits and, as he approached his carriage, walked with a vigorous step. As he stepped into his carriage he said to a presn representa- tive: “Iam going to see my granddaughter and I may remain all the afternoon.” Further than this he would say nothing about his plans while in New York. Sr. Louis, Mo., May 24.—The @lobe-Demo- erat this morning contains the following special from Washington: “Mr. Blaine has stated to another member of the cubinet that he will not accept the nomina- tion, and that if the President desired it he would write another letter. The Secretary spoke with extreme frankness and fairness. le showed that his mind had undergone no change in respect to the nomination from the decision expressed in the former letter. But the men who claim to be friends of Mr. Blaine still insist that if the convention will nominate him unanimously he will not decline.” —— “LET LIQUOR ALONE!” Murderer Fitzpatrick’s Advice as He Stood on the Scaffold.

A prominent member of the administration, whois as near, if not nearer, Secretary Blaine than any other man in the country, said to » OT HAVE IT. Stan reporter this afternoon —_that Harrison would certainly be — nomi- nated at Minncapolis and that it was nonsensical for the anti-Harrison forces to try to deteut him by the unauthorized use of Blaine’s name, for the simple reason that the Intter is out of the race altogether. ‘The speaker said that Blaine, sinee he wtote the letter saying bis name would not be pre- sented at the convention, had told the Presi- dent at least fifty times that he was not a candi- date and that he would not accept the nomnina- tion if it came to him. “And,” added the official in question, “he has told me the same thing nearly aa often, aad it strikes me it’s about time the politicians knew it.” ——— THE NAVAL PERSONNEL. Several Bills Affecting It Acted Upon by the House Committee. ‘The engineers of the navy today succeeded in securing from the House naval affairs commit- tee a favorable report ona measure the pas- sage of which they have been urging for some time as essential to the maintenance of tho efficiency of their branch of the naval service and demanded by the increasing number and change in t: of naval vessels. It is a Benate bill and provides that the reduction in the num- ber of the engineer corps of the navy provided for in the act of 1882 shall be considered as having ceased Jnne 30, 1891. Several private bills were acted on by the committee. A favorable report was ordered on a bill to give the rank of commodore, but not the pay, to Geo. H. Perkins, now a captain on the retired | list,and also on a bill to anthorize the President to. appoint Lieut. Col. John L. Broome of the ma- rine corps, now on the retired list, a colonel on the retired list. A bill having the approval of the of the Navy providing that hereafter promotion toevery grade in the marine corps below the rank of colonel shall be made according to seniority, unless an officer fails to pase the ex- amination ided for in the bill, was also acted on favorably. By the terms of this bill officers failing to pass the pny md iea- examination will be retired provided bility was incurred in the line of duty, and if he should fail for these reasons he will ‘be given a re-examination at the end of one year and be dropped from the rolls if he again fails. a ag THE SIXTY-SIXTH ANNIVERSARY Of the American Home Missionary Society of the Congregational Church, One of the great religious gatherings with which this city is favored from time to time will begin this evening at the First Congrega- tional Church at the corner of 10th and G@ atmets.

ESCAPED FROM THE Z00. Chasing a Grimly Bear in the County. RESIDENTS IX THE NEIGHBORROOD ALARMED— BRUIN FINALLY BROUGHT TO BAY AXD KILLED WHEN IT OFFERED RESISTANCE TO CaPTURE—OXE oF PURSUERS BITTEN. As a colored boy who resides near the “Zoo” was passing along the Pierce's Mill road about 5 o'clock this morning there appeared at the brow of « hill he was climbing a grizzly bear. It had excaped ouly a short time before from the Zoo. | Words cannot describe the feelings of that | colored youth, who immediately put forth all | hie powers of locomotion to get away from the uncomfortable-looking animal. the bear the keepersat the Zoo think he was too badly frightened to know exactly what hap- 1. pen Watcbman Cook was on duty when the bear | eecaped. He had been by the bear caves and cages after 40 clock and the bear was there at | that time. An hour later aud the cave was with- out an occupant. The escaped bear was about three years old. Last September it was caught ata hotel in the j Yellowstone Park, and the superintendent of | the park sent ithere to the Zoo. This species of the bear family causes the hotel meu and others in the vicini(, of the YeUowstone valley considerable annoyance, as they appeat at night | and rob the pens of the young pigs. Itwas | considered the most ferocious animal of the | Dear t the Zoo and occupied the large | eave adjoining that in which are the polar bears. Above the cave ou the east side isa stone wall, which, while it was thought to be sufficient to keep’ the animals in, would have been built higher had the appropriation been large enough. “Animals,” said the keeper, “cannot be Properly cared for unless the proper quar are provided.” The animal was small for its! age and although considered of a tion the keepers did not anticipate attack any one unless it was cornered of je to recapture it. When it certainly not hungry and as was not en meat to eat it was ore than likely that it would continue to live on grasses | and roots rather than attempt to kill any one with the intention of ‘securing a square meal. ALAM THROUGHOUT THE VICINITY. Soon after daybreak word of the animal's escape spread through the country aud caused a feeling of uneasiness, especially to those per- sons who had to eend their children to school. Farmers who heard the news started out to fee that their cattle were protected, and at almost every house through the country where the news wax known the doors and windows were kept closed, for fear that the animal might appear at the wrong time and play havoc with the people as well as with the stock. NO APPREHENSION aT THE 200. Nosuch fear, however, is entertained by - it) TO PUNIBI VIOLATORS OF TREATY RIGHTS. ‘The calendar was laid aside at 2p.m. and the bill to provide for the punishment of violations of treaty rights of aliens was taken up—Mr. Morgan continuing bis argument in advocacy of the bill. THE HOUSE. Mr. Stewart (Tex.) from the committee on rivers and barbors, reported back the river and harbor appropriation bill with the Senate amendments thereto, with the recommenda- tion that the Senate amendments be non-con- curred in. He asked unanimous consent that this course be followed and that @ conference be ordered, but Messrs, Holman and Bynum (Ind.) objected and the bill was referred to the committee of the whole. ‘THE SUNDRY CIVIT, BILL. The House then went into committee of the whole (Mr. Lester of Georgia in the chair) on the sundry civil appropriation bill. The next amendment reached was one offered by Mr. Taylor (II) appropriating $12,000 for the construction of a steam vensel to be used in bourding vessels at the port of Chicago, in ad- dition to the wum of $28,000 appropriated by the last sundry civilact. Adopted. ‘The paragraphs relative to the coast and geodetic survey were then taken up. Se JUST A WORD FROM BLAINE. ‘What a Number of Political Leaders Are Now Anxious to Get. Mr. Clarkson, who arrived in Washington last night, had o long’talk with Mr. Quay last night and received a number of prominent callers /this morning, among them Senator Allison, who is credited with trying to keep on the out- sie of the fight for the presidential nomina- tion. He saw these callers all by appointment and left orders at the clerk's desk not to per- mit cards to be sent to his room. Mr. Quay, after a conference with Mr, Clark- son, left this morning for Pittsburg. Though great care seems to be taken to keep their do- ings a dead secret, the purpose of every move is asserted to be to bring about the nomination of Mr. Blaine. Up to this hour they still a confident thal Mr. Blaine. will sot at they put i, refane his services to the party when greatly needed and it is insisted that unless he positively for- ids it he will be nominated. If he absolutely refuses to serve the party further the same forces which are trying to bring about his candidacy will, it is stated, go over to Sherman. ‘They do not regard Sherman as as strong a those connected with the zoo. When a Star | reporter reached Pierce's Mill road he found Supt, Blackburn bad sent for a pack of hounds, but was unable to get them. AFTER THE BEAR. About 11 o'clock a posse started in pursuit of Bruin. Messrs, Cramer ot Rock Creek Park and Cramer of the Zoo Park were mounted, while Messrs. Coyle and Houghton, citizens, were also in the party. Farmer Routt was armed with a breech-loading gun. ‘The Stak reporter, ona bicycle, was also in the party, Dr. Baker arrived shortly after and almost every “Zoo” employe joined in the pursuit. ‘They were armed with pick handles, pitebfor! stones, while some carried pistols, After tracking the bear a short distance in the direction of Pierce's mill they returned across the road into the park, where they agein found his track. BRUIN BROUGHT TO Dar. ‘The pursuing party steadily increased until about a score of men armed with various weap- ons were following the bear, Shortly after 11 o'clock brui crossed the road in the rear end | of the Zoo Park and for more than an hour he | was kept in wight, Mir. Louis Hess, a carpenter in the grounds, with Mr. Hunter and another man, had him sur- rounded at one time and then for the first time the infuriated animal showed fight. The ani- mal attacked Hess and might have killed him had not Hunter beaten him off with a club. The bear then made a wild dash for the woods.

AConference Between the Incorporators and the Senate Subcommittee. Two weeks ago Senator MeMillan reported from the District committee House act 429, “To candidate as Blaine would be, but they sy that he could carry New York probably, whereas Mr. Harrison, they declare, would have no chance whatever in that state. ‘The Platt and the Miller forces are repre- | sented as united in the effort to nominate | Mr. Blaine, which carries with it united opposition to Mr. Harrison. They con- that they can unite the party in New York stato on_ either ine or Sherman, but better on Blaine, and cannot do anything for Harrison. One of Warner Miller's closest friends enid to a Star reporter that New York state would not be satisfied with Mr. Harrison’s nomination and that he could not carry the state. This fact, he thought, ought to be enough in itself to prevent Harrison's nomination, but in addition to the Css in New York there was, he claimed, a decided antagonism to Har- rivon in many other parts of the country. The efforts in behalf of Mr. Harrison, which, it is claimed, brought out the letter of declina- tion from sometime ago, have been renewed with great earnestness with a view, it is eaid. to compel Mr. Blaine to go further than he has yot and declare that he would not accept the nomination if offered betel The story is put ont today, with the assertion that it ison the authority of o cabinet ofticer, that Mr. Blaine will absolutely decline the nom- ination if offered. Elsewhere it is said that the only basis for this statement is that Mr. Blaine declared that be meant what he said in his original letter. Sa ee PLAYING THE SINGLES.

It was converted into a north and south cross-town line, and a pro- | Vision was inserted which gave free transfers to and from all intersecting roads—the Eckington extended, the Metropolitan and the Washington and Georgetown. This arrangement Was not satisfactory to the syndicate which is seeking the charier, so yesterday afternoon there was consultation over the matter in the room of the Senate District committee. Sena- half of the committee. ‘The syndicate was rep- resented by Eppa Hunton, J. W. Denver, Chas. E. Creeey, John T. Mitchell. G. P. Davis and Harry Barton. In a little while the de- sires of the incorporators were made plain. They wanted to enter the city from the Bla- densburg road on i5ih street northeast. Then the route was southward on 15th to F and west on F to 4th street west (Judiciary Square); thence to the Metropoiitan tracks at D street and Indiana avenue and on thove tracks to 5th streetand Louisiana avenue; the western ter- minus to be at Louisiana avenue and 7th street, Incidentally, there would be no objection on the part of the company to transfers with the Eckington and Belt companies where there was intersection of tracks. ‘The entire proposition was discussed at length and such objections as suggested them- selves to the Senators were aired quite thoroughly. Chairman McMillan called atten- tion to the fact that F street would be itnproved materially when the Baltimore and Ohio company carried its plans into effect; the thoroughfare would then be # beautiful drive- railroad on H street now one on D street when the Eckington built its extension. The width of F street was also considered. Mr. Barton said it was 100 feet between the building lines, but he thonght the roxdway was about 35 feet. The roadway could be widened withont much difficulty. Chairman McMillan did not became enthusi- astic over the intimated p: ition to cut sev- eral feet off the euteeae Maren eke propert; erman, who owns F street, would object to the oceupation of (hat resin Peggable weed that Senator Sherman's tenants were for the road.

District business was continued in the House | yesterday after Tne Star's report closed. The bill for the extension of streets brought ont further discussion and was still further | amended. Mr. Hemphill offered an amendment | providing that one-half instead of one-third of | Mr. Walker wanted all the damages placed on the property benefited. ‘Mr. Cobb offered an amendment in regard to | the money for the improvements, which read: | “That the amount awarded by raid court as | lamages for each highway or reservation or | part thereof condemued and established under this act shall be changed wholly upon the land, or upon the land and to the District of Colum- | } bia in such proportion as the court shall deter- mine. and the amount charged against said Dis trict shall be paid exclusively from the revenues thereof.” The discussion as to assessing benefits was further extended, aud then Mr. Cobb's amend- | ment was adopted. Mr. Blount offered an ax adopted, providing th in connection with any | reets, reservation ements outside of Georgetown. Mr. Hemphill proposed a paragraph ov pr tr ing that if Congress took uo action within six months after the court had made an award the | proceedings in the case should be void. NR. BUCHANAN DEFENDS THE DistRicT. — | In a formal amendment Mr. Buchanan of | New Jersey, said: I know a great deal is said | abont the great liberality of the general govern ment toward the people of the District, but | there is a tremendously big story to be told on the other side. In the first plave the people of the District gave chapter! wage the ground | the government owns today. In the next place | they are not represented upon this floor, and | the representatives upon this floor come from intereste which are antagonistic, in some de- gree, to the interests of the peopie of the District, I want to give you one illustration with which you are personally familiar. I called attention to it at the time. The appropriations made for the boring of the so-called tunnel in the upper portion of the city this year ou the appropria- | tion bill iseut down toadegree below. the | amount that will be raised by taxation. In- stead of remitting that amount of taxes to the | ple of thix District, the government, in vio- | tion of ite pledges, in violation of good faith, coolly pockets that money. The law under which that tunnel was bored provided that the people of this District shoul in oppor- funity to pay their share by installments, and by that action this year we deny them that privilege and coolly’ put that money in our porket. There is nothing right, honorable or fair about iz. That is a eiagle instance. I can- not tell the story in five minutes; it would take too long. The bill was then passed. The bill providing for semi-annual statements by foreign corporations doing business in the District was passed without debate, as was the int resolution relating to the Memorial Asso- ‘iation. | OVERMEAD WIRES DISCUSSED. | the testimony taker | it ranks the post affice Engineer Commiasioncr Were te the Garbage lavestication, Ex-Commissioner Henry M.

Mr. Washington —_of- fered cn amendment that any road could use overhead wirc outside of the boundary streets of the city. Mr. Hi thonght the amendment out of place. Mr. Washington thought the amendment was a step toward rapid transit. Mr. Henderson thought the matter should be considered as a separate measure and remarked thet the plan at the present time in almost every city of this cotntry of any size except Washington and New York, and the only reason it was not in ion in the District today was because of jon not by the people of the District y the members of another branch the legisiative power that hae control of the of legislative affairs of this District. without being amenable to the people of the District. MR, HENDERSON OX LOOSE LEGISLATION. Mr. Henderson (Iowa), speaking of r.cent legislation, said: “Knowing, as I do, that it has been the steadily maintained policy of the eom- mittees on the District of Columbia and the wish of the people generally in the city to do away with these unsightly lines of overbead wires, I was surprised to find that an amend- ment had boen adopted authorizing a railroad company here to use them: and now the amend- ment of the gentleman from Tennessee seeks to permit the continuation of this eystem on sub- urban lines, “But I am protesting now against such seem- ingly harmless amendments being thrust on to these bills without consideration, which. as we wom seen in the past,in one instance at —_ ven extraordinary power to a corporation organized for another purpose.
