Secretary Blaine is reported to be extremely annoyed today because gossip, which just now has « keen relish for all things political, has at- tached significance to his absence from the cab- inet meeting yesterday. Ho is said to fool that injustice has boen done him in preeupposing a sinister motive attach- ing to his absence. Asa matter of fact Secre- tary Blaine did not think that any cabinet meet- ing would be held, it is said. He received no intimation to that effett from the White House and. supposed that the Presi- is trip to Rochester fired ond would not cal special tired and would not call a meeting, es as Secretary Foster way away. ig id ‘THE SECRETARY AT HOME TODAY. Secretary Blaine did not call at the White House today and was not at the State Depart- ment. Itis understood that he feels a little fatigued after his New York trip and remained at his residence. NO CABINET MEETING CALLED. At the White House today it is learned that #8 cabinet mecting was not called yesterday, the President having nothing of particular moment to lay before his advisers, but that the members who dropped in hed an informal talk about matters in general. SS es THE VIRGINIA DELEGATES, Gen. Allan Says a Majority Will Support Harrison—The Mahone-Brady Fight. Gen. Edgar Allan, a special assistant to the Attorney General and chairman of the republi- can city commitiee of Richmond, is a delegate to the Minneapolis convention from the Rich- mond district. Gen. Allan is well posted on the political situation in the south. In conver- sation with a Star reporter today he said: “The majority of the delegates from Vir- ginia will support President Harrison for a re- nomination. His vote in our delegation would have been larger but for an unfortunate clash- between the administration and Gen. Ma-| hone, who is the chairman of our state central | committee. The relations between the President and Gen. Mahone have never been cordial during the presidential term. The strained condition grew out of the appointment of Col. James D. Brady as collector of internal revenue for the istrict which embraces the city of Petersburg, where Gen. Mahone resides. In point of pa~ tronage it is, perhaps, the most important office in the state. So bitter was the feeling between Gen. Mahone and Col. Brady that the general thought he was entitled out of courtesy in view of the former senatorial re- lationship between himself and the President, as well as his position asa party leader, to have rome other person not obnoxious to him placed in this position as a neighbor of his own. Since this campaign opencd it has rather seemed to the frien of Gen. Mahone that the administration could only be effectively reached through what is termed the Brady faction, and it is generally understood that this faction has impressed the President and his advisors with the idea that those republicans in Virginia who were not of them were not for him. In reality up to this development Virginin might have been termed a solid Harrison state, but f-om that point in the canvass it seemed as though the test of loysity to Mr. Harrison was made an assnrance of disloyalty to Gen. Mahone. “Whenever such a test is made Gen. Mahone will be on top much larger politically than he is physically, and the reason is this: That of the 60,000 white democrats who left that party when Gen. Mahone came out it is a mild esti- mate to say that fully 50 per cent of that white vote are for Mahone first and the republican party next, so that they would resent in the party organization or by voting against its nom- inee any imagincd ¢light or indignity to the leader they almost worship. “In our state convention the vote against in- structing our delegation was more than two to one, hundreds of pronounced friends of Har- rison’s renomination voting against instructions, because the anti-Mahone faction sought to have them adopted. The delegates from the Rich mond district are both in favor of the renorgi- ion of President Harrison, and yet in full thy with Gen. Mahone as their party Gen. Allan is past junior vice commander-in- chief of the Grand Army of the Republic and the present commander of the departmont of Virginia and North Carolina, He returned yesterday from Virginia, where he had been to erintend memorial day ceremonies at the city Point National cemetery, under the aus- pices of Phil. Kearney Post of’ Richmond, with Col. John P. Church of this city as oxator of the day. He expects that about 500 comrade: is department will be in line of parade at ‘eptember encampment, several posts ex- pecting to come in a body. SHOOTING STARS.

C., in May, a Death of Daniel Donovan. Daniel Donovan, one of the oldest and most valued clerks of the District government, died suddenly at his home, 101 I street northwest, this morning at 9 o'clock of inflammation of tho stomach, At the time of his death he was in the anditor’s office and his long experience with District affairs made him very valuable. _ He first entered the service of the District during Mayor Bowen's time as as- sistant surveyor to P. H. Donegan. When the board of “public worka was organized, in 1871, he wes appointed a clerk in the au: ing department, and liter, when the board was abolished, he was appointed a clerk to the board of audit. When this board was abolished and the present form of government organized he was placed in charge of old records and transferred to the oitice of the auditor of the District, where he has since served. He leaves @ wife and nine children. pocmaS Woman's Christian Temperance Union. ‘There was a delightful gathering of the West End W.C. T. U. in the parlors of Mrs. 8, M.

How the Opposition to Mr. Harrison is Made Up—Table of Delegates. The political center is now shifting from Washington and New York to Minneapolis for the time being. Every train now is taking some of the republican workers westward. As the time for the meeting of the republican con- vention nears the situation from a closer point of view seems more mixed and uncertain. Un- der ordinary conditions, there being no other candidate in the field, it would be a certainty that Mr, Harrison would be renominated. For these many months his friends have gone along without interruption or sign of opposition gathering in the delegates, the presumption being that Mr. Blaine had taken himeelf beyond the reach of his enthusiastic friends” and that no one would contest the honor with Mr. Har- rison. After having had a free way so long an opposition sprung ina night would ordinarily beof little moment. But the conditions aro peculiar, and it is now apparent that the anti- Harrison forces have becn at work earnestly for a much longer time than the public and Mr. Harrison have been awaro of. Tt is quite prob able that, as the Harrison folks claim, there are enough delegates committed in one way or another to the President to give him the nom- ination if they can all be held. But it is doubtful that they can all, or even most of them, be held. THE INFLUENCES OPPOSING HARRISOX. The influences which sre now opposing Har- rison bitterly are thore which have dominated tho party at the conventions and during the campaigns for some years. The mort active cpyonents of Mr. Harrison are the managers of the national party, under whose directions campaigns are fought and whose voico as to the vailability of a candidate is listened sousally. Ir will takea great many friendly delegates in ‘the convention to count for as much as the opposition of Messrs. Platt, Quay, Clarkson, aiger. Teljer, Washburn, Reed, Wolcott, Fas- sett, Dudley and the thousand and one workers of their school who stand ready to carry out their commands. Even without tho magnetic name of Blaine as a watch ery, auch opposition would be serious. The situation looks even more serious for Mr. Harrison when one comer to look over his forces and see who are in com- mand to lead them in the fight at the conven- tion. There is no great party leader among them, and those men of tolerable strength who are counted among his friends are believed to bo attached to. him by a very slender thread. Apparently he lus no conetderuble following whlch will stick by him through thick and thin, and his chance for the nomination seems to de- pend upon hie gesting it by first intention, be- fore the opposition lias become compact through several ballots, It is, of course, possi- Vie that he may get the nomination on thegirst ballot by reason of the uncertaint? as to where the opposition is going to land, but it appears next to impossible that he should get it on a later ballot than the second. "The prevailing opinion is that unless Mr. Blaine lots it be known beforehand that he will decline the nomination if given to him spontaneously Mr. Harrison's position is hopeless.. For this to prove otherwise the southern delegates would have to be made of different material than those in pas: conven tions, and it is upon these southern delegater largely that Mr. Harrison relies.

Impressive Ceremonies at the Synagogue— Fifteen Young Ladies in the Class. The simple impressive ceremonies attending the confirmation of fifteen young ladies in the Hebrew faith were enacted this morning at the Hebrew synagogue on 8th street before a large audience, Rabbi Stern conducted the cere- monies. The altar was profusely decorated with palms and a floral arch made of choice roses surmounted the whole. Shortly after 10 o'clock the ceremonies com- menced. Fifteen young ladies, all dressed in white and carrying @ large bunch of nephetos roses, marched up the middle aisle and took seats on the platform. Little Miss Rosa Herzog opened the ceremo- nies witha prayer, which she delivered ina masterly manner. Then came the recitation of the Ten Commandments by the class in Hebrew and English, with questions end answers on Judaitr. ‘The confirmants then in a pleasing manner told of the history of Israel. Lotta Kaufman took the epoch from Abraham to the death of Mores. Celia Mundheim told the story from Jorima to the division of the kingdom. Eveline Heidenhefiner maade a good selection in the story of the yionian exile and return and Estelle Peyscr gave a history of the second Jewish commonweulth. Aline Lansburgh took the dispersion and Jochanan Ben Saccai as her text. and Ella Loeb recited the interesting story of Sanhedrin and Hillel. Edna Gusdorf told in an interesting narra- tive the story of Mishnaand Talmud and Grace Cohen took Rabbi Akkibaas her theme, and told of the life cf that good man, his trials, vicissitudes and death by torture. Lillie Heil: brun gave a touching prayer and Lillie Bern- stein told of the persecution of the Jews a the middle ages. ‘The two parts of Jewich life and work were told by Annie Sondheimer and Bertha Alexander, and Sadie Stern of better days. Rosa Herzog took the period be- tween 1402, the discovery of the land of the free, and 1892, and told of the wonderful ad- vances made ‘by civilization and the the Israelite played.

Senator Sherman did not succeed yesterday in converting any of the free coinage Senators, but he secured their closest attention and oc- casionally struck with such force as to bring forth queried remonstrances from some of the more radical western men. Interest in his speech increased as he proceeded and for more than two hours every Senator who was at the Capitol occupied a seat in the chamber. But for the many interruptions the Senator would have concluded his remarks yesterday. He will probably close this afternoon. DROPPING THE SILVER DOLLAR. Discussing the dropping of the silver dollar from the coinage in 1873 and the substitution of the trade dollar for it, Senator Sherman said that it was done on the representations and pe- tition of the legislature of California—the pe ple of that and the other silver mining siates wanting to transport their silver to China, The total amount of silver dollars coined from the foundation of the government up to 1873 had deen only a little over eight million dollars, and ne thesilver dollar was obsolete, No one wanted fairand unmanly to arzaign the gentle- men who had chargo of the bill which had de- ed silver. Tho only trouble about that law was that Senators were not as wise as the mighty and could not eee ahead. If it had sen known that silver was going to fall as rap- ly as it did he would have kept the silver dollar and put it on tho same cooting as tie fractional rilver. Tho suspension of silver coinage by the Latin union had given another blow to silver, and the increased production of silver had given it another blow. It was not true that he was unfriendly to silver. Mr. Toller asked him whether he had eup- ported the Bland-Allison bill, XO BLAND-ALLISON BIL. Mr. Sherman—There is no Bland-Allison bill. They took the “Bland” out of it and left only the “Allison.” [Laughtor.] I cannot permit the Senator to give a bad name ton good measure, What is the question Lefore us? "It is the free coinage of silver. We are required to pass alaw that any holder of silver bullion may have it minted into silver dollars at the rate of sitteen of silver to one of gold. But the trouble is that one ounce of gold is worth more than sixteen ounces of silver. An ounce of gold will buy today in any market in the world twenty-three ounces of silver. That is the position in which this question is presented. It is wrong in principle, wrong in tail, wrong in every axpect—a fraud on the "creditor, s deception to the debtor and a demonetization of gold. It would advance the pound — sterling from its present rate of $4.86 to $7, and the twenty-frane piece to £30. And all’ this dis turbance is to be caused—for what? to give a market toa domestic product. And what is the amount of the silver fund to be drawn from? A fund of nearly 4,000,000,000 ounces is now in sight, and it is well known’ that the pro- duction of silver is increasing enormously. RESULT OF FREE COINAGE. The free coinage of silver, therefore, will re- sult in one of two things—either it will bring the whole mass of silver in the world up to the gold standard at 16 to 1, or gold will be de- monetized. Is there any doubt about it? Can there be any half-way measure in it? Ix thereany ch this inevitable logic of results 5 ? Is there a Senator here who ves that the value put on silver in all the ntries of the world can be changed by our action and our offer to buy that rilver? We might buy it and pay our notes for it, but at the end the government debt would be greater than it was at the end of the war. I bold in my hand a paper showing the assets and liabilities of the government. The assets amount to $127,737,181 all told, and of that amount one hundred millions are in g specially set aside for a specific purpose. Does any man believe that on that basis of #127,- 000,000 we could maintain the parity between silver and gold—taking in view all the silver of the world. If 80, how idle that dream. Create a doubt, raise a suspicion that we cannot maintain our present system and you will bring ruin and dis- aster upon us. This very threat of the free coinage of silveris, in my judgment, doing more than anything else to disturb the business of the country, The idea that we could main- tain the parity between gold and silver on this fund of =127,000,000 is the wildest dream of the imagination.’ It is utterly impossible to do so. How should we meet the task? Shonld we sell bonds for gold? The very attempt to do so would probabiy impair our credit. Should we sell the silver that we have on hand? We have $ 100,000,000 of silver in the treasury and to at- tempt to +eil on a falling market would be only adding misery to ruin. Mr. J. F. Richards Criticises the Adminis- tration of the Office. Mr. J. F. Richards, formerly of the agricul- tural division of the census bureau, appeared before the House committee on the eleventh census this morning. He thought that the selection of special agents in that division and in the division of wealth and taxation was very unfortunate. It was a matter of current talk that Special Agent John Hyde of the agricultural division was especially ignorant of agricultural matters. He (witness) had been assigned to write a re- port on the sugar beet industry, and in doing so had had correspondence with all the manu- facturers in the country, which had becn carried on on paper and envelopes fur- nished by himself. On the 13th of June, 1891, he had received notice that his services were no longer required, and Mr. Hyde had asked him to turn over the letters which he had received from the manufacturers. ‘This be had refuced to do,‘stating that the letters were is private property. A few days afterward he as arrested for purloining government papers. The statement that he had stolen papers was an infamous lie, and he had so stated to the court. He had given bond for his appearance, and the case had been allowed to hang along until October, notwithstanding he had made written and oral demands that he should be given a speedy trial, In the latter part of October the case was calied up and was nolle proszed by the ent, and Judge Bradley had denounced ecation as a high-handed outrage. DISCRIMINATING AGAINST THE UNION SOLDIER. Mr. Richards went on to criticise the admin- istration of the census bureau for discriminat- ing against the Union soldiers in the matter of dismissal and in favor of those who had served in the confederate cause. One of the persons retained while Union republicans were dis- charged wos a man who attempted to abduct President Lincoln and take him within the con- federate lines. And another was a woman who, on hearing of Sherman’s death, had exclaimed: “The devil bas got his due.” —_—_—-°-____ OUR FOREIGN SERVICE.

Senator Wolcott Makes Himself Comfortable and Others May Do So. Senator Wolcott is an inconoclast. He has done a good many things which other Senators never dared do. He fractured the most vener- able unwritten rule of the Senate by addressing the chair and by moving to proceed to the consideration of executive busi- nes before he had drawn his first | check on tho disbursing officer, and in several | other ways has established his breezy and really popular independence. Yesterday he broke | another idol by appearing in the Senate cham- ber with bis feet ineased in tan-colored shoes. Other features of his apparently comfortable ime were a striped shirt aud a silken belt. ‘Old Senators who saw the shoes and the shirt | and the encircling suxpender ehook their heads | and hoped audibly that the example would not | becontagious, Their worst fears. ha ever, been realized, for today Senator Gray of | Delaware also wears ruset shoes, and there is j no telling but that he may also indulge in an j outing shirt and perhaps even a sash. | Who will be the next is now a question of more vital importance to the Senate than any- thing that can be said or surmised as to pros- | idential possibilities. . —-e. THE RAUM INVESTIGATION. The Commissioner Presents an Extended Statement Defending Hix Administration. Commissioner Raum of the pension bureau appeared before the House pension office inves- tigating committee this afternoon for the first timo since the threatened fracas between himself and Representative Enlos. Mr. Euloe was not present. ‘The commissioner had prepared a long statement for ubmission to the committee, but it was not re- ceived in evidence, as the members of the com- mittee desized to examine it first, The most important information contained in it relates to the $13,000 note of Mr. Raum’s, which Attorney Geo, E. Lemon indorsed. The H s that he paid $3,500 on the note before any publicity bad been given to its making and that he paid the balance, $8,500, the maturity of the second note, made as an ex- tension of the first note. ‘The statement gives a comparison of the work under Commissioner Ravm's administra- tion with the administration of his predecessor, showing a large increase in efficiency the number of claims adjudicated. improvements in the system and tle ing ual responsibility for of methods fixing indivi jaction were cited. The statement also makes a detailed explanation of the workings of the completed files order, which it declared had been invented Mr. Raum and¥issued without notice to any one. It was asserted that no preference of par- tiality had been-showo to any attorney. Adjourned. — THE NAVY YARD. Rumored Change to Be Made in the Com- mandant. Gossip in naval circles intimates that a change is to be made in the commandant of the Washington navy yard, It is said that Commodore Skerrett slated for sea duty and that Capt. W. T. Sampson, recently de- tached from the San Francisco, will be placed iu command of the yard. it is farther id that the new commandant will fill the duties of inspector of ordnance.
