New York is threatened with the trolley, President Crimmins of the Broadway and allied roads being credited with the intention of in- troducing this system on various lines, The New York Tribune of today sa; “If anybody had proposed two or three years ago, when the community was in a state of indignation and alarm at the demonstrated perils of overhead wires, to introduce an ex- ¢ system of trolleys in New York he would have been deemed a lunatic. tation soon subsided and now it is considered ‘e sane and safe to announce such an enter- prise. But overhead wires are just as much of a nuisance as they ever were, and the trolley is no better adapted to a thickly populated city than it was at the time when a prospect of it introdnetion here would have almost bred a riot. But because popular feeling has grown cold there is considerable danger that Mr. Crimmins will succeed in his purpose.” ‘The New York Times today say method of applying electricity is a crude and tentative affair, which bas no merit except im- mediate economy, und which cannot. last. jy dangerous and unsightly. and it ought not to be tolerated in the of a civilized city, not and cannot have even the merit of speed. ‘The engineers and experts are believed to be making progress in this matter and to have suc- ising successful appliances, and every opportunity should be afforded for The greatest obstacle haa been the reluctance of existing corpora- tions to incur the expense of a general change in the equipment of their roads.

One of the prettiest weddings of the season occurred last night at the country home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas 0. Thomson at ‘Takoma Park. It was that of their daughter, Miss Minnie Shriver Thomson, and Mr. Oliver May Bosby- shell, the private secretary of the Philadelphia mint. ‘Tho event was one in which the society of Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia was interested and many friends were present from those cities and New York. The assembly presented a brilliant scene and the house was beautifully decorated with palms and emilax and fragrant with hun- reds of roses, At o quarter of 8, to thestrains of Mendelssohn's wedding march, entered the ushers and bridesmaids,followed by the maid of honor, the bride's sister, Miss F. ‘Thom- con,and_ then the bride, leaning upon the arm of her father and meeting in the drawing room the groom and his best man, Mr. Haskins of Philadelphia.

Knight and Mr. Walter dar Krowl, Falla} A Telegram Keceived From Chauncey M. ‘Depew at Minneapolis. THE NECESSITY FOR HIS DECLARING IX UNMIS- TAXABLE TERMS WHETHER HE IS IX THE PRESIDENTIOL RACE OR NOT IN ORDER TO AVERT A SERIOUS BREAK IN THE BEPUDLI- CAN PARTY. A telegram has been received in this city from ‘Minneapolis which will cause an immediate con- ference of republican leaders who are now here and which may result in Mr. Blaine making a positive announcement to the country within the next twenty-four hours of his position in re- gard to the nomination. ‘The telegram is said to have been signed by Chauncey M. Depew, who is nowin Minne- apolis, It is anderstood: that action is to be taken upon the line suggested by the telegram during today. ‘The purport of this intimation received from Minneapolis is that the cool and conservative republicans who are on the field there are seri. ously concerned at the grave possibility of dissension in the republican party unless change is made in the tactics which Mr. Blaine’s friends are now pursuing. HE MUST SPEAK OUT Now. It is argued that if Mr. Blaine is sincere in his understood determination not to be a candi- date it is devolved upon him to announce that fact in unmistakable terms to Piatt, Quay and Clarkson, who are now confidently proclaimin; his ‘acceptance of the nomination if offered In other words, if Mr. Blaine intends to de- cline at the last moment an acrimonious dis- sensiogin the republican party will by that time bhve been brought about through the efforts of the men who are now fighting for him and it will be too late to weld the breach in the party together again after his declination. Itis to prevent such a dissension thet the ‘Minneapolis party leaders have wired prominent republicans in this city to take action. The tion is said to be made not in the interest of Mr. Blaine or Mr. Harrison, but in the inter- est of the republican party’s autonomy. THE PLAN OF ACTION PROPOSED. ‘The plan of action proposed is that » mutual friend of Mr. Blaine and Mr, Harrison shall go to Mr. Blaine today and urge him to use the same frankness and candor now that he dis- played in the campaign of 1888, It will be remembered that after writing his famous Florence letter of declination, Mr. Blaine, who was in Paris, was advised by his friends that the country would not accept his Jetter, and shat further action would be required of him. Mr. Blaine thereupon wrote a letter_to Mr. Whitelaw Reid, under date of May 17, 1888, positively declaring himself out of the race, and acknowledging in unmistakable terms that he appreciated the necessity of frankness at ‘that cri If Mr. Blaine appreciated the necessity of frankness at that time, say the Minneapolis leaders who inspired the telegram referred to above, it is tenfold more necessary for candor at this juncture, when the most serious break in the republican party ever threatened is now pending. It is understood that a man will be selected this afternoon to present the case to Mr. Blaine. ‘MR. BLAINE AT THE CABINET MEETING. Secretary Blaine attended the cabinet meet- ing for half an hour today. He was driven to the White House in his own carringe and was accompanied by Secretary Elkins, and together they passed up the stairs and into the cabinet room, where Secretaries Rusk, Noble and Fos- ter, Attorney General Miller ‘and Postmaster General Wanamaker had already assembled and were awaiting the arrival of the Secretary of State and the Secretary of War. Secretary Blaine remained at the White House about thirty minutes and then came out of the cabinet room alone, and entering his carriage was driven back to the State De- ‘tment. After Secretary Blaine’s departure the other members of the cabinet remained in conferenee a considerable time. a DISTINGUISHED CANADIANS. They Want to Prevent Retaliation for Their Discrimination Against Millers. Three distinguished Canadians visited the State Department today and bad a conference with Secretary Blaine, being introduced by the British minister. They were Mr. Geo. E. Foster, Canadian minister of finance; Mr. Mac- Kenzie Bowell, minister of customs, and Mr. Douglass Stewart, It is understood the purpose of their visit is to prevent anticipated retaliation by this coun- try against Canada for alleged discrimination by Canada against American millers in the mat- ter-of tolls levied. Secretary Blaine was obliged to suspend the conference to attend the cabinet meeting, but after remaining in the cabinet about balf an hour he returned to the department and re- sumed the discussion. Gen. John W. Foster took part in the conference. i THE NEW CITY POST OFFICE. A Baltimore Man Gets the Contract for Exca- vation and Piling. ‘The Secretary of the Treasury bas awarded the contract for excavating the foundation and tarnishing piles for the same for the Washing- ton city post office. The successful bidder is W. B. Brooks, jr., of Baltimore, at £39,993, the work to be completed within four months.” As stated in Tae Stam severals days ago, Mr. Brooks’ bid was the lowest one furnished. ee FELL FROM A SCAFFOLD. Six Colored Hodcarriers Injured and One May Die. Six colored hodcarriers were more or less injured this morning at the new building in course of erection at the corner of 8th and D streets southeast by the falling of a scaffold, and one of them was so badly injured that he may die, The scaffold was erected on the third floor of the building several fect above the floor joists and the accident happened soon after the men started to work. Cornelius Hatch had a hod of mor- tar on his shoulder, while George Preston, ‘Moses Wormley, Philip Jett and Moses Harris each hada hod of brick. Henry Ricks was working beneath the scaffold when the acci- dent hay When the men had got on the scaffold, which the police say was not quite finished, the wall plate came out and precipitated the ‘four men to the joists below. ‘The weight of the scaffold, men aad bricks fell upon Ricks, who was be- heath, and broke his feg. Jett’s spine was #0 badly injured that he ap- peared to be paralyzed when he reached Provi- dence Hospital and it is feared be will die, although the physicians say he may recover.
