When Sergt. Boyle was promoted to the lieu- tenancy made vacant by the death of Lieut. | Guy the first robbery.to take place was in front of the house of Mrs. E. 8. Alvord, No. 2217 Washington Circle. Mrs. Alvord was going in | a buggy to the depot and she had in the vehicle ‘a satchel containing $1,800 worth of jewelry. She returned to the house,leaving the satchel in the buggy, and when she returned to the vehicle the satchel was gone. When the case was reported to the police there was no clue to the thief, but the new lieu- tenant, Sergeant Harbison and Officer McGlue went to work on the case, and yesterday they had Michael Curtis locked up. Curtis was not known asa thief, but he has often been in the Police Court on charges of intoxication and fighting. He protested his innocence until last night. when he gave the officers the infor- mation that a stone had been put in ® satchel and it had been dropped in Rock creek. He located the place so well that the officers went to the creek and after guarding the spot until daylight recovered the satchel with most of the jewelry init. The| rest of the jewelry was subsequently recovered | from parties to whom Curtis had given it. The prisoner is still held at the station.

Many would come on the first ballot who had ex- pected to vote for favorite sons and others ‘would come over on the first ballot. Mr. Harrity said at the Cleveland conference last night that the Pennsylvania delegation fune | would stand solidly for Cleveland until the end was reached, and by general agreement it was decided that no second choice candidate should be considered, but that having a large majority of the convention tostart with they would stand by Cleveland until he was nominated, no mat- ter how long it might be. ‘Mr. Whitney's idea is undoubtedly that the regular New York delegation finally consent to Cleveland's nomination when they find that the Cleveland people will not yield. Word was received from the Iowa délegation that that delegation would come over to Cleve- land in a body at any time. + They announced that they would prefer to vote for Boies on the first ballot, but that they would forego that if they were needed by Cleve- land at once. The rallying point of the field was fally dis- cussed and the conclusion was reached that the opposition to Mr. Cleveland could not be con- centrated on any one. They regarded Mr. Hill as out of the fight ase candidate, and figured out that they would have enough votes come to Cleveland whenever an attempt was made to rally about another candidate to insnre his nomination. ‘They regard Gorman as the most likely candi- date for the anti-Cleveland people to go to. but the opinion was confidently expressed that Mr. Gorman would come over to Cleveland any time he could give the nomination to the ex- President. man,” and it is with difficulty that the Mary- land delegates can be restrained In their eager- ness to launch the Gorman boom. They are eager to raise the cry of “Gorman and free silver.” Mr. Gorman has to exercise the greatest dis- cretion to hold his friends back. THE DISTRICT DELEGATES. The regular District delegation arrived this afternoon. Delegates Davis and Norris and al- ternates Kelly and Manogue were accompanied by aarge delegation of District of Columbia | democrats, among them A. A. Wilson, Dorsey Clagett, Frank Hume, J. H. Gordon, C. C. Zucker, George E. Kirk, W. W. Coskin, F. G, Smith, P.H. Hall, C,H. Ficklin and W. H. Hutchigson. Dorsey Clagett and M. A. A. Wilson, both speaking at once in their enthusiasm, told me that there was not a doubt of Cleveland's nomi- ngtion; that they were here to nominate him, and that they did not hear anything but Cleve- land all the way from Washington to Chicago. “A vote taken on the train,” Mr. Wilson said, “resulted 49 for Cleveland to 11 for Gor- man and 2 or 8 scattering. John Drew, one of the original anti-Cleve- land men of the District of Columbia, said to me this morning that he was convinced Cleveland would be nominated. “I am opposed to Cleveland, but we cannot head him,” he eaid. Frank Hume took issue with Mr. Drew. Cleveland, he said, “has @ majority, but not two-thirds and he is already downed. He is losing steadily. I would prefer Hill, but Gorman is good enough for me.” THE cal MOVEMENT. One of the efforts in the direction of break- ing Cleveland's strength on the first ballot is being made to have the Ohio delegation cast = complimentary vote for ex-Gor. Campbell. This arrangement is satisfactory to Senator Brice. The probabilities are that either Campbell or Brice can get the compli- the honor to the ex-governor. The proposition has been suggested that Campbell be made permanent chairman of the convention, but this is not likely to be carried out for the reason that it would unnecessarily antagonize the Cleveland program. The Cleveland men want ex-First Assistant Postmaster General Adlai E. Stevenson of Illi- nois for permanent chairman. He has already been selected for the temporary position. “I have received this morning,” said Senator Brice today, ‘a formal letter from Charles 8. Fairchild asking seats in the convention for the seventy-two delegates and seventy-two alter- nates who were selected by the anti-Rill demo- crats of New York at the Syracuse con- vention. In his letter Mr. Fairchild said that he would present their credentials at the proper time. When the credentials make their ap- pearance the national committee will meet to consider the matter.” From the foregoing statement of Chairman Brice it will appear that the first issue between the Cleveland and anti- Cleveland forces will be raised over the con- testing delegates from New York state. Mr. Gorman is talking with ‘the workers and copsidering whether or not he will organize op- position to Cleveland. The pressure of anti- Cleveland folks is for Brice, Gorman and Wat- terson to combine in opposition to Cleveland. They have not yet decided what to do. ‘Mr Carlinle says that he does not think the party can afford to nominate Cleveland pnless he can get the support of the regular demo- crate of his state, Mr. Whitney is now waiting for a conference with Brice and Gorman.
