A Mice Point Which the President Will Have to Decide. In the case of our minister to Italy the President has @ nice point before him for decision. Mr. William Potter of Pennsyl- vania, the present representative of the United States in Rome, was appointed by President Harrison last November in place of Gov. Porter of Indiana, who resigned to take part in the campaign. The Itatian gov- ernment _has since raised its legation in the United States to the rank of an embassy and has recommissioned Baron Fava as an ambassador. Mr. Potter meantime remains minister and envoy simply. International courtesy requires that the United States should reciprocate by sending an ambassa- dor to Italy. The point Mr. Cleveland has to determine is whether he will send in Mr. Potter's name to the Senate as ambassador and thus in a manner reappoint one of Mr. Harrison's selections, or whether he wili re- move Mr. Potter earlier perhaps than ke in- tended by sending in another person's name with the rank of ambassador attached.

Besides the fact that those engazel with him in the transactions resulting in his in- carceration have been released lends some assurance that Justice will not be violated by the pardon of the remaining participant, whose guilt {s certainly not greater than that of his associates. I confess that. in ad- dition to other considerations, I cannot miss the fact that the granting of @ pardon in this case will bring comfort to a wife and daughter, whose love and devotion have never flagged and whose affection for a hus- band and father remain unshaken.” President Harrison repeatedly refused to pardon Claasen. — Assignments of Assistant Secretaries. The supervision of work in the Department has been assigned to the as- sistant secretaries as follows: Wm. Edmond Curtis—Supervision of pub- lic moneys, loans and currency, miscelian- eous, bureau of engraving and printing and the offices of the chief clerk and superin- tendent (including world’s Columbian ex- position), the supervising architect, the supervising Cot epee epee of the marine hospitat service and the supervising in- spector general of the steamboat inspection service. Charles 8. Hamlin—All matters pertain- ing to the customs service, revenue marine, speclal agents and secret service and the bureau of statistics. Scott Wike—All matters relating to war- rants, estimates and appropriations, ‘sta- tionery, printing and blanks, matt and files, the navigation and immigration bureaus end to the offices of the light house board and life-saving service. Another Naval Payment. ‘The Secretary of the Navy has made the twenty-second payment of $91,8% to Cramp & Co. on account cf the construction of the battleship Massachusetts. Eight more installments of this kind will complete the purchase of this vessel. _ Resignations Accepte The President has accepted the resigna- j tions of the following named officers of the Department of Justice: James O’Brien, as chief justice of Mexico, to take effect October 1; H. A. Wyman, as assistant at- torney for the district of Massachusetts; L. B, Bartlett, as judge of the probate court of Utah. To Stop the Meetings. In consequence of protests against the long and unnecessary sessions of the na- | tional commission and the board of lady managers of the world’s fair, the Secretary of the Treasury, who is determined that these sessions shall cease, has ordered that all the accounts, puchers and dis- bursements of the national commission shall be forwarded to the Treasury Depart- ment for review, examination and settle ment like other public accounts. -— ‘The Alleged Ute Trouble in Colorado. General officers of the army are not sur- rised at the news from Denver that the Rites have invaded Colorado from Cesh ne thelr annual hunt. It has been a regular thing for the Utes to leave their reserva- tion at this season of the year. Gen. Me- Cook has not notified the department of | any alleged dangerous condition of affairs | as represented by Gov. Waite of Colorado, The Interior Department also has received no information confirming the alarming reports, consequently the War Department will not take action matil such notifica- tion is received. SILVER CONFERENCE. Free Ooinage and Anti-Silver Men Discuss Matters, PROPOSITION OF THE SILVER COMMITTEE Opposition of the Anti-Silver Men ; to the Plans. SITUATION UNCHANGED. ‘The committee appointed by the silver caucus yesterday have agreed on a propo- sition to go ahead with the considegation of a silver bill at once. Their proposition 1s practically that which has been discussed and involves the introduction of a bill, one section of which repeals the Sherman law and one section provides for the free coin- age of silver at a ratio not named. They agree to vote on amendments fixing dif- ferent ratios until one is reached which can be agreed on, and then to take a vote on & substitute striking out the whole bill as so constructed, and providing for the un- conditional repeal of the Sherman law. The point of the agreement is that if al- lowed to vote on the amendments which they propose providing for the coinage of silver the silver men will offer no obstruc- tion to a direct vote on the question of an wnconditional repeal of the Sherman law. The purpose was to go ahead with the matter in the House today if possible, and to do so a recess was taken until time should be given for the anti-silver men to decide whether or not they would agree to the proposition as adopted by the silver men. isle was in conference with Mr. Cockran and Mr. Tracey this morning considering the proposition. Their confer- ence was not yet over when the hour for the meeting of the House arrived, and hence the recess. Some Anti-Silver Opposition. There 1s some opposition or the part of anti-silver men to the agreement proposed, though it gives them a direct vote on the Proposition they wish to carry, for the rea- son that some of them think that if they do not have an agreement they can get a direct vote on a proposition to with- out giving any opportunity on amendments providing for coinage of silver. The silver ren, ever, will Se this es unfair. ‘They hold that in all fairness both sitions should be voted on without any ob- struction, and that a majority should con- trol. Anything short of this they will re- gard as an attempt to trick them. and they ‘would meet {t with a stubborn filibuster. Unable to Reach an Agreement. ‘The proposition in regari to the ratio of coinage advanced by the fres silver men was opposed by the anti-silver men and when the conference took a recess the anti- silver representatives met to further dis- cuss the matt ‘They were also unable to reach an agree ment respecting the conduct of the discus- sion of the bill to ve prepared by the com- mittee of the free silver caucus. The anti- silver men say the advocates of sliver did not make sufficiently definite proposals upon which to act. One element of this indefiniteness said to be included tn the suggestion tl the beginning of the discussion be postpon- ed until the rules of the House shall have been adopted. It was argued on this behait that it would not require more than five minutes for the House to temporarily adopt the rules of the Fitty-second Congress, and then the debate could proceed in an orderly manner, and with some assurance of ability to enforce the terms of the agree- ment that should be entered into. The gentlemen composing the conference are: Free silver men—Messrs. Bland, Boatner, Culberson, Bryan, Bailey, Bankhead, Catch: ings, Oates and’ Lane.’ Anti-siiver_men— Messrs. Cockran, Tracey, Harter, Rayner, Lapham, Gassenhainer, Coombs, Fitch, Wil- son (W.'Va.), and John DeWitt Warner. The situation at 1 o'clock, at which time the House reconvened, was unchansed. The anti-silver men had not reported to the sil- verites any conclusion upon the proposition made by the latter. After waiting for an hour for an agree- ment which would permit the silver discus- sion to begin today the House adjourned, it being then apparent that no ‘agreement cou reacl ime for anything be done today. How the Case Stands. It is now the anti-silver men who are standing in the way of an immediate con- sideration of the question. The silver men having agreed that a vote might be had on both sides of the question, so as to fairly get the sentiment of the House, the anti- silver men, or, rather, some of them, have been seized with fear that there must be some parliamentary advantage to the other side in the proposition, and they therefore insist that it should not be accepted. It is said that the prospects of a settle- ment are still very good, but the delay ia in the fact that some of the antl-sliver men are opposed ving as much time for debate as the silver men want; others do not want to let the silver men have a vote on their proposition for coinage, but want to confine the vote to the repeal bill without chance to amend by any condition, and still others, as it appears, do not want the matter disposed of in this sudden way, without their having had a chancs to get the credit of having led a fight for the re- eal. It is believed that this latter personal feeling is ngest in preventing action. It is considered a most extraordinary position taken by those of the anti-sllver men who are assuming the attitude of ob- structionists. The only way the Sherman law can be repealed is by getting a vote on it and a majority in favor of repeal; Zet.when the silver men offer to let a vote e taken, they shrink from it and offer ob- fections to secure delay. They appear to afraid to let the question be tested in the House by a direct vote, ‘The silver men are found in the attitude of being ready to go ahead and vote on anything and everything. Why They Want a Simple Repeal Bill As the silver men understand it, the rea- son the anti-silver men want to put in a repeal bill as the first proposition before the House is that such a bill would not be amendable s0 as to aid a provision for cotnage of silver. A bill providing for the repeal of the law and for the coinage of silver would be amendable by striking out the provision for coinage, but to a. ‘elm le. "al bill an amendment providing for coinage would not be germane and could not be voted on. ‘The jealousy ‘between the rival leaders in the New York delegation appears to have been compromised by putting ‘Tracey and Cockran on equal terms in the conference, The two rode to the Capitol today in the same carriage, and Secretary Carlisle con- rred with both of them at once, thus giving both of them the sanction of the administration in a measure and disposin, of the controversy as to which is the ade ministration representative in Congress. More Gunboats for the Navy. The Secretary of the Navy today issued advertisements inviting proposals for the construction of three gunboats, under au- thority of the last Congress. The delay in calling for bids was due to the decision of the Attorney General, which held that the Secretary had no power to build composite boats under the act providing for these ships, designs for which had already been drawn up by the department, and bids were about to be asked. The ships are to be of 1,200 tons displacement, to have triple ex- pansion engines and to’ be capable of about fifteen knots speed. They will be practical- ly of the same type as the Bennington and Yorktown, although somewhat smaller, and they are ‘intended for service in Chinese waters. Under the advertisement the de- partment reserves the right to award the contract to any bidder, regardless whether or not his bid fs the lowest submitted. This is done in order to make a more equitable distribution of the construction of warships among the shipyards of the country. Here- tofore nearly all the ships built for the navy have been constructed by two or three firms, who have been able to outbid the smaller companies by reason of their larger plants. Government Receipts Tod: ‘The receipts from intenal revenue today were $483,08; from customs, $672,206. —— A heavy earthquake shock was felt in San Francisco shortly after 1 o'clock yes- terday morning. Bropo-| Camber SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE}| B RIEF SESSIONS|SECRETARY'S STATEMENT,|NFAL 1S NOMINATED. The Silver Question Not Discussed at Today's Meeting. Republican Dissatisfaction at the Line of Action—Possibility of Favorable Wational Bank Legislation. The democrats in the Senate do not pro- pose being forced by the republicans futo hasty action upon the silver question, and have resolved that no forward step sill be taken until they have agreed among themselves upon a plan of action that shall secure the support of the untted party. So, when the finance committee came to- gether this morning for the first time this session, Chairman Voorhees, who had ts Wished ‘time to discuss and agree upon & me scuss yy line of action, and therefore desired that the silver question should not be brought forward at the meeting, | By next Tuewiay’s meeting he hoped that the subject in order. Republican Dissatisfaction. The republican members of the com- mittee, save Senator Jones of Nevada, who stayed in the room only a few moments after learning of his mother’s death, ex- Pressed their dissatisfaction at this pro- gram, and announced that they were ready ‘at once to proceed to discussion and action, as the President had called attention %0 the need of special legislation. But as they realized that a simple expression of the wish of the majority was equivalent to formal motion which would undoubtedly prevail, they made no further resistance Mr. Voorhees’ suggestion, and the silver juestion was relegated to ‘next week, so as the finance committee is concerned. National Bank Circulation. In order that the time might not be altogether wasted, however, the committee took up and discussed the proposition to allow the national banks to issue circula- tion to the full face value of the bonds deposited in the treasury, Instead of limit- ing it to 90 per cent of the value of the bonds, as at present. It wes urged that the result of this legislation would be more immediately beneficial than any other that had been suggested, as it adda sum to the money in circulation as qui as the notes could be printed. Possibility of Favorable Legislation. It was made clear that for the first time in many years there is a possibility of legislation favorable to national banks in the line indicated, for although no vote was taken the discussion appeared to in- dicate @ leaning toward the measure by @ majority of the committee. The present however, lies in an attempt to the bill’ with amendments thet will involve the whole silver question and prevent @ disposition of the measure on its Owns merits. —_____- «-______ ONLY OFFICIAL NEWS To Be Issued Hereafter From the Pen- sion Bureaa. By a verbal order issued to the chiefs of division in the pension bureau it is believed by the officials that the character of the news concerning that branch of the govern- ment will be improved. A conference was held yesterday between Commissioner Lochren and his chiefs, at which it was agreed that hereafter no information for public print shall be given out excepting through the commissioner or his deputies When a news hunter desires to follow up certain trail he is to apply directly to the commissioner. If the subject be deemed sufficiently worthy the chief of division, who should know what is wanted to be known, shall be sent for, and the conversation contain- ing the matter whioh it is desired to print will take place in the commissioner's office. That official will then know what is given out for publication. This is the theory on which the order is founded. All’ the chiefs with whom the reporter for The Star talked this afternuon stated that nothing so far liad been said to the employes about the order, but imtimated that the anti-news elict would gradually become nolsed around and that the em- ployes would be expscced to take the hint. ‘One chief of division told the reporter that some officials had heen so indiscreet as to let loose information which should have been nursed by the bureau. A great many things had gotten mto print which ought to have remained vut. ‘The present order was designed to improve the news eervics, give all the news sent out an official stamp, as it Were, and suppress the loquacity of some subordinates. Another chief told the reporter that the commissioner had been particularly an- noyed by stories which purported to be news, but which were not. Some corre- spondents had sent out sensationalities, which were all fake. He thought that the present order would be powerless to effect @ cure, but would rather tend to Increase the evil complained of. No rule could pro- tect the department from alleged new: paper, men who depended more on imag nation than on hustle for stuff. He not think that in all ways the order was ® wise one, but as it was an order it would be obeyed.’ He thought, however, that the gbJectionable matter would continue to go orth. Another official high in the confidence of the commissioner sald that there was not the slightest intention to suppress news. No such ‘policy had been contemplated. It would be unfair to the public and decidediy un-American. The department would be perfectly frank and straightforward with the press. What the department objected to was to publication of inaccurate news given out from other than official sources, he order was simply designed to insure the accuracy of pe! mn nt TALKING OF COMMITTEES.

Silver continues on the rise in the piice this morning being, according to official advices received at ‘the Treasury Department, $0.76% per ounce. This is a cent per ounce above the price ia by th treasury yesterday. Of the 367,000 ounces of allver offered yesterday the treasury bought 322,000 ounces, at 30.7515 per ounce. —_—____-e-___ Gaining Ground in Haiti. From a recent consular report of the British government the Bureau of the American Republics learns that during the last few years the American exporter has been able to supplant to an important de- gree in Haiti a certain class of British dry goods, such as papas Oxfords, nanki- nettes and drills, and, in fact, most articles used by the greater part of the alaitien people for outer wear, by American manu- factured articles. These goods, it is said, are appreciated for the soft finish of the cotton and the lasting colors, principally blue grounds. The importation of these ar- ticles has very largely increased during the last few years. “The American supplier,” says the report referred to, “notwithstand- ing that he only allows from two months’ to three months’ credit, whereas the Brit- ish shipper allows six months’ credit, has gained much ground in the Haitlen ‘mar- et.” Personal Mention. Assistant Secretary Curtis has gone to New York. Mr. Thomas R. Martin left the city last night for a much needed rest. He will join his family at Saratoga, where they pre- ceded him some time ago, and where sev- eral weeks will be spent. In Both the House and Senate Today. THE SILVER DISCUSSION DIFFICULTY.

The democratic employes hold over, as u matter of course. For the payment of the salaries of all employes of the Senate @ certain amount is appropriated. From this is deducted the aggregate of the salaries of the republican cals, and then the aggregate of the sal- aries of the hold-over democrats. The re- mainder of the appropriation is prorated among the several democratic ators. Each democratic Senator has af his disposal ‘one position a: ti bout $3,000, or, if he so desires, he can give to two or more of his constituents pos! at not exceeding this sum in the aggregate.

There ts one friend of the trolley in the House who is bold enough to announce his stand in ad- vance, and that is Represeatative Tom L. Johnson of Ohio. In conversation with a Star reporter he sald: “If they don’t want a friend of the trolley on that com- mittee they should not put me on, for I certainly favor the use of the trolley under proper Festrictions. i) would favor its use In this city by putting Nght ornamental poles on the sides of the streets.

A meeting of the stockholders of the Georgetown and Tenleytown Raflroad Company was held yesterday after- moon at the office of the com- pany, 1321 F street. A proposition to au- thorize the issue of bonds amounting wo 360,000 for the purpose of paying off the floating debt and a small issue of bonds Was agreed to. A good proportion of the proposed new issue will be taken by the secretary and stockholders.

He did state that out of the earnings of the last two months we had curtailed our indebtedness $00.

With the sin- gle exception of myself, there is not a sin- le stockholder in the ‘Bethesda road who fas ‘not ten times ag much interest in the Georgetown and Tenleytown road. And as for myself, I desire to say that the indi- vidual criticisms paseed uj me, coming, as they do, from a place where I have lived all my lfe—namely, Georgetown, are thor- oughly unjust, and that I think I rather should have the thanks of the citizens of that place, as for me ae I gave my ser- vices to the road, never receiv one gent of compensation, I can only add that Iam sure that a full investigation will vin- dicate me in the minds of all fair-minded People. “Till a8@ further that at the m of the stockholders yesterday Mr. C.

A Star reporter this inorning talked with several members of the committee with reference to any local measures that they had contemplated introlucing, but pone of them had as yet given this matter their at- tention. Senator McMillan, the former chairman of the committee, has iost none of the interest that he nas always taken in District affairs, and some time iater, when he thinks that there will be some chance of obtaining action on bills that he may introduce, will present a number of the measures of Importance that were left ui acted on by the last Congress. For the present, however, he wiil not act as he says that as far as he can discern the democrats seem to be disinclined to allow any business to be transacted.

After the clock had turned ten, however, they came in like an avalanche, and when fifteen minutes later the impatient chair- man brought down the gavel and declared the convention called to order, the dele gates and apectators numbered over three thousand.

Chairman Barger, in opening his address, contrasted the condition ef the country and the United States treasury at the time Cleveland's administration went out of bower with that at the expiration of Har- rison’s administration, the contrast being favorable to the democracy. The various Ws from which the country {% suffering Course of the Fepubliens Conese and the e .

The true intent was this: That after the weight of either @ gold or silver dollar had been fixed by law the citizen it have his bullion converted into money the government under the rules, regulations and weights as provided by law.

If we should mit coli of either metal or change the stan of weights the matter of coinage should free up to the limitation, but the government could never enter "the ‘buy metal for coining purposes. “We should have a sound and stable currency founded upon a coin basis, and it is not necessary for us to adjust that basis to ayit the governments of Europe as to the ratio between gold and stiver, or adopt & standard to suit their pecullar notions, nor is it nécessary for our whole country to be domineered in this manner by a sin- gle elty, whose business relations and sel- sh Interests favor the aa es ean notions and ideas without to the interests of her own country. When we fully realize that our own country can furnish all the material comforts neces- sary for man's happiness, we will not be required to give attention to Ei money standards, or become in this @ follower of any nation or people.” The remainder of his speech consisted of a denunciation of the protection policy of the republicans and a defense of the Gemocratic administration of the pension ws. Beasty aeons nctuated, the salient rtions of the speec! it was y oud and prolonged when the speaker de- clared that this country should no longer be dominated by European money stap- dards or by American cities that Suances owe too much allegiance to foreign nations. The report of the committee on creden- tals, seating the Neal contesting delegation from Ross county, went through by accia- mation, and so did the proposition that the temporary organization be made per. manent. Chairman Barger modestly declined to make a second speech on assuming the duties of permanent chairman, and the con- Hood ot “osatory ‘by adopting a resoistion flood of oratory ju that all nominating es should be kept within five minutes. ‘The convention had barely been in ses- sion an hour when it was announced that the committee on resolutions was pr to report. This was a welcome surprise, as the committee was supposed to be in & tangle on silver, and when ite chairman, A. J.

Clearly and deliberately Mr. McMahon read as follows: The Platform. ‘The following platform was afopted unanimously: s We have hereby adopted the platform of the democratic party adopted by its national convention at Chicago, and espec- lally those portions of it referring to the tariff and to currency legislation. We congratulate the country upon the early prospect of measures of relief as outlined by the President's late message to Congress, and we have confidence that the democratic Congress will devise laws to furnish such retief. The financial] situation is the unfortunate outcome of the republican administration; it ts the natural result of the McKinley tariff, the Sherman silver law, extrava- gance of the republican party recently in Power and the creation and fostering of trusts and corruptions by that party, all combining to shake credit, to create distrust in the money of the country and to paralyze its business. ‘We recommend that national banks may be permitted to issue their currency to an amount equal to the par value of United States bonds which they may deposit with the ‘treasurer of the United States, to the end that the volume of currency may be immediately increased.
