It showed that two alley missions had been estab- lished, one in Glick’s alley the other in Willow Tree alley. The report also gave a detailed ac- count of the work of the different branches of the union. A question ‘arising as to the best means of promoting general interest in the work of the union, the matter was discussed by Mrs. Cohen, Smith and others. ‘The treasurer's report was next presented, and showed that the receipts during the quar- ter from all sources, including alley missions] donations, to have’ been $453.32, of which $303.75 was disbursed. leaving a balance of $149.57.

There can be no doubt that as seen by the stay- at-home Representatives, even the preliminary struggle at Minneapolis has awakened an added bitterness between the partisans of the Presi- dent and his Secretary of State. Asarepublican Representative from New York putit today, “The bitter feeling which seems to be growing every day promises to render it impossible, or at any rate highly inadvisable, to nominate either Blaine or Harrison.” Friends of Mr. Blaine at the Capitol comment severely on the fact that the Harrison bureau at Minneapolis is scattering copies by the thousand of Mr. Blaine’s February letter. Both sides at this end of the hne express the greatest confidence in the result. The Blaine men say there is not the slightest chance of the Secretary writing any further letters and no doubt of his accepting the nomination if ten- dered. WHAT MR. BLAINE SAID RECENTLY. In this regard a well-authenticated converea- tion of Mr. Blaine’s with an extremely well- known citizen of Washington, who has no con- nection in any way with politics, but who {sa personal and close friend of Mr. Blaine’s, comes to light. This talk occurred within the past few days and in it Mr. Blaine stated emphatically that his opinion in regard to the nomination had materially changed since he wrote his letter in February, and that while he would not lift his little finger to obtain the nomination he would not refuse it if tendered. DEMOCRATIC POSSIBILITIES. Naturally the Minneapolis convention rather overshadows the discussions of democratic pos- sibilities, although members of the majority are already beginning to turn anxious thoughts toward Chicago. The question is still Cleve- land or somebody else, the somebody else taking an extremely indefinite form. The Syracuse convention and its action has among even firm adherents of Mr. Cleveland acted somewhat as a damper, although large class of feeling was expressed by the Tennessee Congressman who said today to Tue Star that while he was not fixed in his regard or adherence to the ox-President, he could not, in looking over the ground, find any one whom he favored in preference. EFFECT OF THE SYRACUSE CONVENTION. The Syracuse convention has, however, undoubtedly shaken the advocacy of many democrats. “In my opinion,” said Mr. Heard of Missouri, ‘the action of the New York convention has rendered it an extremely grave question whether under the present circumstances it would not bea mistake to nominate Mr. Cleveland... Missouri sends a Cleveland delegation to Chicago, but it is probable that under certain circumstances the delegation would vote for some one else. As for Mr. Morrison—-and personally I con- sider there are a number of gentlemen thor- oughly eligible for the nomination—yet in my opinion the people of Missouri outside of Mr. Cleveland would favor Mr. Morrison, who is looked on as a strong, safe man and one of the fathers of tariff reform. es DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. THE DISTRICT MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION. Speaker Crisp yesterday laid before the House the joint resolution relating to the Memorial Association of the District, as amended by the Senate. On motion of Representative Lanham the resolution was placed on the Speaker's table for the present. ‘TO COMPEL PAYMENT OF WATER RENTS. Senator Faulkner has introduced a bill making it lawful for the District Commission- ers ‘whenever application for water connec- tions shall be received to refuse such obliga- tions until all rent and charges for the use of water against the premists in respect of which such connections are desired, are adjusted and paid.” CONFERRING ON THE APPROPRIATION BILL. Commissioner Douglass was at the Capitol today talking informally with members of con- ference committee on the subject of the street improvement items in the appropriation bill. THE GLEN ECHO RAILROAD. Both the Senate and House have agreed to a conference report on the bill allowing the Glen Echo railroad to cross the Conduit road and the government reservation. The confer- ence report provides that the railroad shall cross the road at right allowing if, however, to make a neces#ary through the reservation. It also provides that in no portion of the route, excepting at the place where the road crosses the Conduit road, shall the inner rail be within less than fifty fect dis- tance from the line of the road. SSS BLAINE WILL ACCEPT IF NOMINATED. So Says Senator Eugene Hale of Maine. Washington Dispatch to the New York Herald. Wasurxaton, June 2, 1892, One of the most significant developments of the Blaine campaign is the declaration of Sena- tor Eugene Hale of Maine to me today that Mr. Blaine will certainly accept if nominated. Senator Hale has been a strong friend of the President, even while the Blaine movement scemed to be at its height, and his declarations that Mr. Blaine was not in the field have given great comfort to the President and his friends. Senator Hale seems at last to feel that there is no stemming the Blaine tide, I asked him to- day whether Mr. Blaine bad said he would write no more letters before the Minneapolis convention. “I do not think,” replied Senator Hale, “that Mr. Blaine has said anything to anybody. I think he is occupying @ passive position. He is saying nothing. He is going to let things take their course. He has done everything that he can do to keep himself out of the nomination. He meant every word that he wrote when he penned his letter to Chairman Clarkson in Feb- ruary last declaring that his name should not be prevented to the convention. “This action on. his part was followed by the election of a delegation from Maine to the na- tional republican convention that was known to be favorable to the renomination of President Harrison. No stronger evidence could be fur- nished by Mr. Blaine or his friends in Maine that he was not a candidate than his letter and the action of the district and state conventions of Maine. BLAINE PERFECTLY QUIET. “Mr. Blaine is remaining erfectly quiet. If he does not communicate with the convention through some of his friends he is likely to be nominated if he has delegates enough to do it. I think he is entirely indifferent whether he is nominated or not. If the convention nomi- nates him, he will accept. ‘There is no ques- tion about that. The only point to be con- sidered is whether he will prevent the conven- tion from making the effort to nominate him.” “Will somebody be empowered to for Mr. Blaine by the time the first ballot has been taken?” Tasked. + “Tt is quite probable.” “Is it not true that the first ballot will be made up largely of complimentary votes for favorite sons?” “No,” replied Senator Hale earnestly. “There will be but one ballot. I have no idea there will be more than one. Either Harrison will be nominated on the first ballot or Blaine will be. No other names will be presented to the con- vention.” c “Will not Alger's name be ted?” “I do not think it will be,” was the reply, “but he is not likely to have any following out- side of his own state delegation, and the votes that they will cast will be so very few, com- paratively, as not to affect the result.’ No,” continued Senator Hale, with emphasis, “one call either Blaine or Harrison will be the repub- PLANS FOR A CREMATORY.
