A NEVADA PROCLAMATION. pois Cmrcaco, July 11.—“I favored the repeal of the Sherman act at the last session of Con- gress,” said Senator Palmer last night, “but we pass the repeal. I think n-w, however, the act can be repealed. although the silver men Will make s strong fight against it I assume that at least eight states in the west, with a rep- Fesentation of sixteen in the Senate, will be opposed to the repeal of the bill. The silver men of the south will probably be willing to vote for the -repeal upon the consideration that the tax on state bank circulation be recalled. Such & repeal would be, in my opinion, calamity httle short of free coinage. Not that the tax is right, for it is not. I believe it is an abuse by the government of its taxing powers. It is considerably like the proposed | option tax. I believe that state bank circula- ion js wrong, aud the government—the great banker—should suppress it directly, not by tax- ing it. “My idea of a remedy for the present condi- tion is the repeal of the Sherman act, the re- demption of outstanding circulation, and the issue of notes payable in coin at the option of the holder. “This talk that the President is using his power of appointments to help him in the | effort to repeal the Sherman act will be readily taken up by the silver men, who are anxious for just such timber. I know that if I were president I would appoint men to office who | agree with me on all great questions. If Mr. | Cleveland has as much sense as I think he has he will do the same thing.” A NEVADA WAR RY. Wivxgaveca, July 11.—The chairman of the state central committee of the silver party of Nevada has issued the following: “The gold bugs, with Grover Cleveland at their head, are making « most determined effort to have the Sherman law repealed extra session of Congress and gold standard permanently fixed upon this country. Intimidation, bribery and executive threats are their weapons. The | friends of silver in nearly all of our sister states | are energetically organizing for the conflict. | Shall Nevada lag bebind? She was foremost of all the states in her loyalty to the silver cause in the late presidential campaign. Let | every silver club in the state and every election | precinet meet in convention and pass resolu- | tions in earnest protest. “To secure unanimity of action we advisé that such meetings be held Saturday, the 15th | instant. | “It is of the highest importance that Nevada | shall be represented at the meeting of the | American Bimetallic League to be convened at | Chicago August 1, and we suggest that the | silver leagues of each county, so far as possible, name a delegate to that meeting.” — THE PRESIDENTS FISHING TRIP. He Experienced ‘Sail. ‘Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Buzzanp's Bay, Mass.. July 11.—President Cleveland spent yesterday afternoon fishing on the bay without any bad results. With a fair wind they ran down to Wing’s neck, a point of | land which makes out from the Pocasset shore about six miles from Gray Gables. ‘This is orie of the best spots in the bay for bottom fishing, the President's favorite pastime. Bass, scup and twutog are always plentiful here. It was an ideal day for fishing, the wind in the right quarter and the tide flood. The President was the first to make a catch. a big rock bass. The party fished until 3 o'clock, the fish biting rapidly. Ou the homeward trip the Rath was inter- cepted by the inevitable camera man, who was lying in wait in « boat in the lee of Hog Isiand. On the way up four snap shots were taken at the presidential party. As Mr. Cleveland bad gone below, and Dr. Brysnt. sitting in the stern, was mistaken for the President, the family as the chief executive in the collection reserved y the camera man. While the party was down the bay fishing Mra. Cleveland. Mire, Hoyt and Baby Huth | drove over to the bay. Mrs. Clevelend got out of the carrinre at the station. She said the Presi- deat had almost entirely recovered from his attack of rheumatism. Baby Ruth has regained strength and is healthy and robust. Her face and little hands are very much tanned. Mrs. Cleveland drove to the Whittier cottage and made a short call oa the Jefferson family, returning to Gray Gables in time to meet the President and his friends. Tt was 4 o'clock when the boat reached the landing at Gray Gables. The President was the first to land. With Mra Cleveland he walked slowly to the house. He did not exhibit any signs of lameness until ascending the steep steps to the veranda, and then it was hardly noticeable. Mrs. Hoyt, the President's sister, met the party on the veranda. The insistance with which the stories alleg- ing that the President has greatly increased in weight are circulated may deceive many peo- ple who are not sharp enough to see that this is only one of the forms of attack to which bis opponents resort. To any one who sees the President it is clear that these stories are cir- eulated for purposes of ridicule. He is no w now than he was a year ago when he was y Gables. Robert L. O'Brien, the President's executive clerk, arrived yesterday afternoon. He will look over the mail which has accumulated for the past few days and then return to his home at Arlington. ‘THE PRESIDENT TAKES A DRIVE. By United Press. Buzzaap's Bar, Mass., July 11.—The Presi- dent did not go fishing this afternoon, but after breakfast saton the piazza until 12 o'clock, when his carriage drove up and behind his pair of bays he came over to Buzzard’s Bay. Col. Lamont occupied the seat with the Presi- dent and Dr. Bryant sat with the driver. ‘Mr. Cleveland stopped at the post office for | his mail and then drove back to Gray Gables, where Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson called later. per Ea OBSERVING THE NEW COMET. Profs. Brooks and Elkins Gazing Heavenly Stranger. Guava, N.Y., July 11.—Prof. Brooks, di- rector of the Smith observatory, observed the new comet last night low down in the north- west. The position at 10:45 was: Right ascen- sion, eight hours thirty- minutes; declination, north — forty-six degrees fifty-nine minutes. The motion is very rapif in the right ascension and toward the body of the Great Bear. The comet was easily at the dogrees in length: in the telescope the head appeared large and bright, with strong central condensation. New Havex, Cows., July 11.—Prof. Elkins of the Yale observatory is making observations on the “neked eye” comet discovered by a rofessor describes the new comet as an exceed- ingly beautiful object, in appearance about the size of « star of the second or third magni- tude.

Worxp's Farn Grouxp, Curcaco, July 11.— The inquest on the victims of the fire began today. The scene at the morgue, where the inquest was in progress was a horrible one. Swarms of people, some looking for friends and relatives among the dead, and many more attracted by that morbid curiosity which is al manifest at fires and casualties, crowded into and around the charnel house. After the jury had viewed the bodies of the vietims, Coroner McHale decided to adjourn the inquest until Thursday next. “I want to have time,” he said, “to pre- pare for « thorough investigation. This is @ serious matter and I shall call upon Chief of Construction Burnham of the world’s fair and Fire Chief Sweeney of the Chicago fire department to be in attendance for examination. The plans of construction of the cold storage warehouse has been brought before me. It is rumored that two sets of plans are in existence. The first set, it is said, provided for a tower of steel lattice work for the ware house and these were adopted. Subsequently a now set was pre- pared, in which wood was substituted for the steel, and frou these the structure was put up. Idon’t know how much truth there is in the report, but I propose to find out.” pictur shies IN WALL STREET TODAY. Bears Had Things Their Own Way For a While. New York, July 11.—The local stock market opened in sympathy with lower cables from London. The market developed increased weakness soon after the opening and the room traders succeeded in bringing about material decline in prices.

A project is eubmitted for the improvement of the re- ceiving reservoir, which contemplates the building of dams across East Creek, Mill creek and Little Falls branch, and carrying the water thus interrupted through a tunnel into the lower part of Little Falls branch, Only three breaks, and none of them serious, occurred during the year in the thirty-one miles of mains which supply the city. An entire re- newal of the wooden superstructure of the Pennsylvania Avenue bridge across Rock creek has been made. Col. Elliott deems the follow- ing work necessary to be made: Removing the accumulation of depotits from the conduit; lowering the height of the cross dam at the distributing reservoir; protecting the inlet to the aqueduct at Great Falls; cleaning out the distributing reservoir, repairing Griffith's Park and Cabin John’s Bridge; certain air valves and flow-off valves "in the 36 and the 30 mains; rebuilding the bridge over the tunnel from the fillway at the receiving reservoir.

An attache of the German legation said toa Sran reporter this morning that the legation knew nothing of the reported coming of the German emperor to this country, ‘We do not believe that he is coming,” he added. “We have received no official inquiries regarding a proposed trip. In fact not a word that would indicate that he has any intention of coming has been received here.” Later the reporter meta gentleman who bas just arrived from Germany and who is engaged im making preparations for the transportation and accommodation of Prince Schlesswig-Hol- stein, the emperor's brother-in-law, who will come over here as the. emperor's personal rep- resentative in September to visit the fair. This gentleman said apropos of the report of the emperor's coming: “He would like very much tn come. He has so expressed himself within the month. He would like nothing better. coming would not be so much to honor America as to honor the Germans who have come here and who have made this country their home. He does not like them to leave Germany, but he remembers how generously they assisted the fatherland during the Franco-German war, and he is grateful.” “Were he king of Prussia only I think be would come, but he is emperor of Germany, and I do not believe that the council of feder- ation would like him to come. He is emperor by their good will. Were he to go so far away it would be necessary to elect a regent to reign during his abvence ‘and that would involve much trouble and annoyance. It is for that reason that I do not believe that he will come. “But the Prince Schlesswig-Holstein will come. He will be here in September. He is about thirty years old, unmarried and a dash- ing young man, full of life and fun. Nothi jvmeotonnine ae ae THE FINANCIAL SITUATION. Gov.

Bulkley of Connecticut was in the city today en route home from a trip through the northwest, where he paid particu- lar attention to the financial situation now agitating that section. Having lately seen both sides of the silver question through his resi- dence in Connecticut and his observations in the west, Gov. Bulkley was in a talk interestingly to a Stam man, who ¢ Interior Department this morning. think the result of the struggle between the free.silver and the gold standard men will bea compromise.” he said. ‘As a matter of fact, that rabid free silver sentiment which pre- vailed in the west two years ago has abated somewhat. ‘The people out there want an in- creased volume of money. They feel that there is not enough money in circulation to transact the business of the country, aud they turned to the iden of free silver as a method of relief. If free coinage is impracticable, prc>ably some system of fiat money would serve them just as well.

We who have lived through the times when state banks were in existence remember the trouble we bad with their notes, I think the west would soon get tired of state banks. “Of course, in my state, being © community of banks and financial institutions, we naturally prefer a single standard, a gold standard. We don't want state banks, we don’t want any fiat money or fres coinage, but we may have to yield something to the demands of such a large Portion of the people of the country and meet them half way in some compromise measure after the Sherraan act is re] “It is hard to say wha’ the compromise will be, but I feel assured that it will be a wise and safe act.

Ihave confidence in the wisdom of the people and their ability to safely work out of the present unpleasant financial situation.” a eS INSPECTION. HOUSE Report of Mr. Peters on the Work Up to Date. Mr. B. F. Peters of the health office, who has charge of the work of house-to-house inspec- tion, made his report to Health Officer Ham- mett this morning, showing the progress of the work to date and also showing the amount of work done last week. The report was trans- mitted to the Commissioners. The report is as follows: Number of squares inspected, 53; number of houses and premises inspected, 2,107; number of families occupying houses, 2,196; number of persons resid- ing in houses, 10,416; number of rooms, 14,049; number of water closets, 2,053. number of box privies, 692; number of ‘n sances found, number of lawful garbage receptacies, 610: number of unlawful garbage receptacles, 1,155; number of premises sewered, 1,509: number of ‘premises without sewers, 597; Making total is in this service to date as follows: ; houses and prem- ises, 22,001; 3 persons, 110, 893: rooms, 160,875; water elosets, '28,456: Lox privies, 4,877; nuisances, 6,638; lawful karbage receptacles, 7,098: unlawful garbage receptacles, 11.060; premises wewered, 18,086; Premises without sewers, 3,914. During the week 268 nuisances previously re- ported were abated and 1,005 closots found without modern plumbin; The water supply of places inspected was: Potomac, on premises, 1,472; public hydrants, 222; pumps or wells, 442; «prings, 28; cisterns, 2. The number of ‘squares in the city limite inspected was fifty-three. Designation of the number of +quares outside of these limits is impracticable, and therefore inference as to the work performed must be judged, to a certain extent, by the number of houses inspected and the territory gone over. By examination of the report it will be seen that the total for the week shows 2,107 houses and premises inspected, an increase over last week of 817, an increase of 106 nuisances and a larger. number of closets without modern plumbing. ‘The latter may be accounted for yy the county inspections. “The force I now have at work I believe is sufficient to compiete the work of hous.+.o- hovs> ins;ection in a eatisfactory manner if continued to the end of the summer season.” —__ WHISKERS that are prematurelj or shouldbe colored t prevent the Toa Of “age saed Buckingaam’s Dye excels all others in coloring brown or black.
