Administration Men Jubilant—Others Hope for a Combination. “Ob, yes, Harrison will be nominated on the of | rst ballot,” said Representative E. B. Taylor of Ohio this morning. “The proceedings last ith | night, in my opinion, settled the matter and ut- terly set at rest the extravagant claims of the anti-Harrison men.” Mr. V. A. Taylor, who was seen immediately afterward, was equally confident that the nomi- nation was settled in favor of the President and that the cheering was the .only thing yet re- maining to be done. The above sentiments of the two Ohio Congressmen about cover the feelings of the Harrison men at the Capitol today. To say that the administration feeling in one of jubilation would express it very ANYTHING TO BEAT HARRISON.

Generally the sentiment is that in case the President is successful the old ticket will be the fact. Harrison and Morton is said to be the plan: JUSTICE HARLAN SUGGESTED. During the past day or #o several names not as yet in the public mouth have been men- tioned as possibilities on either the top or bottom of the presidential ticket. One of these namos—it received moro than a little attention—is that of Associate Jus- tice Harlan of the United States Su- Frome Court. He was mentioned in response question as to whether the republican Party was stréng enough to take one of its iidates from south of Mason and Dixon line.

D. SSSR EE LO eas WILL HILL WITHDRAW? A Story That He Has Written a Letter for Use if Necessary. Astory which comes from Troy, N. ¥.; from sources which aro alleged to be reliable, has it that Senator David B. Hill has written a letter authorizing the withdrawal of his name from all further consideration by the democracy, state and national, whenever, in the opinion and discretion of Richard Croker, Hugh Mo- Laughlin and Edward Murphy, jr.,and W. F. Sheehan, such a step should be taken. The Philadelphia Times cays: “The letter has not been given out for publication and Senator Hill may possibly continue to pose as a candi- date, but the fact remains that the letter has been placed where it will do the most good and that the New York delegation, in spite of ita ironclad instructions, is perfectly free to vote for Grover Cleveland or anybody else without rendering itself liable to a charge of treachery.” When Chairman Murphy called the Hoffman House caucus a good many politicians sup- Posed that the Croker-Sheshan element had me alarmed at the strength shown by Mr. Cleveland outae the state and were prepar- ¢ ultimatum of Croker and McLaughlin was delivered to Senator Hill at Washington by Lieut. Gov. Sheehan on Sunday morning last. Sheehan came back with the letter on Monday, and the Hoffman House resohitions were on Monday evening. McLaughlin and | are not unfriendly to Hill. but are simply look ing out for their own interoste. He is their choice. Asa second favorite they have William C. Whitney, ex-Secretary of the Navy. Murphy and Sheehan aro pushing Gov. Flower, because if he gets a place on the ticket Sheehan will be in line to succeed him as governor. The adoption of resolutions to fight Hill's battle to the that s good stout string is at- nched fo those. resolutions ‘and that the end hereof io inthe bands not’ Micherd Croker, Tammany's mightiest eachem, and of Hugh MeLaughlin, ruler of the Kings countr demoo- racy. Messrs. Croker and McLaughlin have been viewing the horizon and have decided that Senator Hill's chances are not #0 good as, thoy looked in February last. It would never do for them to leave Chicago in the train of a beaten candidate. So they demanded as a condition to their acceptance of the ‘Hill or bust” reeo- Iution, something that would permit them te jump to the winning side at the proper time.” MR. HILL BY PROXY DENIES IT. the New York Times’ report that he has with- drawn from the contest for the presidential nomination, which was telegraphed by the As- sociated Press last night, Senator Hill simply said: ““On the eve of « national convention Ido not propose personally either to admit or deny any sensational canard which may be circulated by political enemies. Ihave nothing further to say.” Mr. John Birmingham, his private secretary, seid, however: “There is no truth in the New York Times’ statement, It is made out of the whole cloth. No such letter has been written or contem- plated. It is a specimen mugwump lie con- Eeived and designed to injure Senator Hill and to aid the mugwump candidate. It is impossi- le for the Times to tell the truth in reference to anything relating to Senator Hull ‘The pub lic for the next two weeks should. be fecal soda Got eon Ts eset ae te same source.

Bicyclists are still being annoyed by thieves who ride off on the silent steed from in front of now and then one of the thieves gets caught and the bicyclist secures the return of his | property. Two stolen bicycles have been re- | covered this week, and the alleged thicf is in custody. One of the ‘bikes’ belonged to E. G. Hine, while the other was the property of Rudolph Behrend.

Assistant Attorney General Maury appeared for the Secretary and read the answer of that officer to the rule. It was as follows: “The answer of Charles Foster, Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, to the rule on him laid by the honorable court to show cause why he should not be ordered by this | court to pay forthwith into its registry or to pay to the order of the said commission the sum of $827,275.85, the rnid eum being the sum heretofore ordered by this court to be paid into the registry of the ou commission.” Totesting that t] ti- tion n Aled aginst him "by. tho ‘commited ap pointed to select the land for Rock Creek Parl 1890, does not present a case within the special ministerial powers conferred on this court by the enid act of Congress, and protesting further- more, that the said petition is in man- damus and not cognizable as an original ‘application by* thie court sitting in General Term, nevertheless, and without waiving the jurisdictional exceptions aforesaid for answer to the said petition, saith that true it is, as stated in the said petition, that the enid requisitions have not been paid, but that re- | spondent denies that the fact that ther, nor gither, of them, have been paid, affords ground for subjecting this respondent’ to the compul- sion of «mandamus, which, respondent is ad- vised, is a process intended to be directed against public officers who set the law at detiance with delicate and important trusts, and cannot consont to be enbjected to Judicial’ onders con- trolling his discha: proof or _avermen = duty, and without | t that he has refused to pay the, said Toquisition, or that | he noting in bad falth. And this respondent avers that in. good faith and with a view only tothe | Public interests and to proper comity toward co-ordinate branch of the government, a@ hereinafter stated, he has delayed action, and for no other reason whatever. THE COURT AS No POWER. And protesting that this honorable court has | no power under the case made in the eaid peti- | tion and under the Constitution and laws of | the United States to compel discovery of and review the reasons and considerations by which the respondent has been influenced in with-| holding payment of the sald requisitions up to time, this caeent, nevertheless, | further answering, saith thaton January 12, | 1892, @ member introduced a bill in House of Representatives (H.R. 2777), titled en- | bill to repeal an act authorizing the establishing of a in the District of Colum. bia,” and ti same was thereupon | referred to the committee on fhe Dis-| trict of Columbian (Congressional Rec- ord, Fifty-second Congress, first sesnion. | p. 27 d this respondent saith that on the | tame day Mr. Dockery introduced a preamble | and resolution with reference to the suid Rock | Creek Park, which was referred to the com- | mittee on appropriations, and that the object | of the said preamble and ‘resolution was to in- stitute an investigation of various matters | connected with the aid pai | more fully appear by reference to | the said preamble and resolution i filed and exhibited and marked responden’ exbibit A.

At the completion of the reading of Secretary Foster's answer Mr. Perry moved that a per- emptory order for a mandamus be made on the Secretary's answer. The request, he said, was in the nature of a demurrer, as it admitted all | the facts pleaded. Mr. Perry then addressed the court on the | motion, explaining that be was at a loss to! know just what points the Secretary “relied | | upon. “The President's approval of the values | showed the determination of the government to take the tracts in question, and that action of the executive vested in exch property owner a right of action for the value of his property taken. From that moment aban- donment by the government was rendered im-| possible. As to the conflict of authority on | this point it was indispuated that once the cor demning party has taken possession at the price | judicially determined he bas by such elec-| ign fixed the status of the condemnation | ings and made abandonment no | possible. Therefore, it was i that the government | had "be: | legally possessed of the an thet it could now take no step nullifying its action. Mr. Perry read from « decision of the solicitor general, which decision was sar oe by the Attorney General. ad Pronideut that’ his epproval of the values was the last step necessary to the acquisition of the tracts in question, and the government thereby became the legal possessor of the tracts, WHAT 18 THE REMEDY? As to the refusal of the Secretary of the Treas- ury to pay this money the question was, what | is the remedy? On the refusal of a public offi- cer to pay damages which have been lawfully souseeed there could =m question as to the officer compelled by mandamus the same. The Secretary of the Trenwury fd undou re! to pay the money, al-| naemreciaes somone by the court and there was nothing in the anewer denying that fact. ‘Mandamus being the proper remedy, the juestion arose as to who was ‘ntitled to ite aid, Tre say Court of the United States had decided that when a piain oficial duty, roquir- ing no exercise of discretion, is to be performed longer es But thie multiplicity of suits could be obviated by the grant this one. Not only were these land personal injury, but #0, too, cer of the law may set that law at defiance with impunity. All the officers of the government, from the highest to the lowest, are creatures of the law and are bound to obey it.” Assistant to Mr. Perry, sion had been ?

Mr. Maury concluded with the assertion that there was enough doubt in all these things to justly cause the tgcretary of the Treasury to esitate in obeying the wish of the commission, MK. PERRY EXPLAINS Mr. Perry, in reply, briefly eaid that the ae sistant attorney general had gone out of hie way to accuse the commission with engaging in arace with Congress. The accusation was both unwarranted and uncalled for. The commis- sion had done nothing except by and under the authority of law, and only after consultation with the chief law officer of the government. As to the assertion of Mr. Maury that the funo- tions of thiscourt were in @ case ministerial only Mr. Perry said that a mere reading of the park act would show «uch an assertion to be entirely unfounded. ‘There was but one single point in the Secre- tary’s answer, his failure to January last’ one member of duced ‘a bill to repeal the park member introduced a resolution to appoint e committee of inquiry, and because, fur: ther, the chairman ‘of the yropriations committee had requested that payment be withheld, No injury of pub- alleges the Secre- was the answer to an order of a court of law by one of the servants of the people. At the conclusion of Mr. Perry's reply the court took the case and will probably render ite decision Monday next. > THE G. A. R. AMPMENT. Maj. Moore's Estimate of the Additional Police Service Kequired. Some time ago the Commissioners requested Maj. Moore to give them an estimate of the amount required for extra police service during the encampment of the G.A.R. This morn- ing Maj. Moore replicd as follows: Pursuant to your verbal request Ihave the honor to submit herewith an estimate of the amount deemed necessary to eecure the main- tenance of public order on the occasion of the national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic to take place in this city during | the weck ending September 12, 1892. The appropriation for tho inaugural cere- monies of 1859, granted by the act approved Febraary 13 of that year, was €8,500, und suf- ficed for the employment of 400 extra police- men for fivt days, with a per diem compensa- tion of @2.50 per man. The accompany extimate aggregates $9,581.20, an increase €1,081.20-—and it is intended to provide for 300! men, at the same compensation, for a period of seven days, ns well aa for the eame number of detectives from other cities ax were employed in 1889, to serve, however, during the entire week of the encampment. ‘It is believed that with the temporary additions to the local police force herein recommended good order can be | mairtained during the encampment, and the Visitors, as well ax the residents, will be well protected from the thieving fraternity, ever ready to prey upg large gatherings —oe pecially # upon one like hich is to meet axhing- ton in.

Sergt. Robt. B. Boyle Appointed Today by the Commissioners. On recommendation of Maj. Moore the Com- missioners this morning appointed Sergt. Rob- ert B. Boyle of the first precinct lieutenant to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Lieat. Guy. The appointment will meet with general satisfaction. The new lieutenant’s LirvT. | record is a good one and he is noted for his ex- | cellent discipline. He was appointed a private on the force February 12, 1874, and promoted to sergeant April 13,1883. The other pro- motions and appointments caused by the death of Lient. Guy are as follows; | Acting Sergeant Joseph Acton to be sergeant, Private E. J. Keefe to be acting sergeant, Pri- vate W. E. Austin to bea private of class two and Charles G. Nauck to bea private of class one. A SKETCH OF BOYLE'S SERVICE. The new Beutenant isa native of this city, | having been born here June 24, 1848, and he is therefore forty-four years old. He went on | duty asa patrolman on the 14th day of April, 1874, and six years later he was made acting eer he was made full sergeant an yin the first and sixth pre- cincts, where it has always been necessary to have good, active and ex men. As an officer his record has been first- class and he has participated in many arrests of daring criminals and has unearthed numerous schemes involving the robbery of citizens. Several years ago, when called to quiet a man | crazed by liquor, he exhibited wonderful nerve jby facing the ‘man, who was armed, and though he was shot in the face he secured his man. His promotion was received with favor by the members of the force, who think it « just recognition of his past services. He is re- garded as e good disciplinarian, but not as pressive. His promotion gives general faction. nm THE COURTS. Cracrir Court —Judge Montgomery. Today—Lynch agt. R. and D.
