Mr. Josiah Quincy to Advise the President as to Changes. He Returns to Washington at the Personal Request of Mr. Cleve- land for Thix Purpose. Mr. Josiah Quincy of Massachusetts, for- merly first assistant secretary of state and now chairman of the democratic state com- mittee of Massachusetts, has returned to Washington for the purpose of assisting the President in completing the reorganization of the consular service. ‘This work was un- | finished when he surrendered his federal | office to undertake the management of the | democratic campaign in Massachusetts. He returns here, it Is said, at the personal re- quest of the President who desired the benefit of his personal examination of the claims of the applicants for consular offices where changes have been determined upon. | This is in a line with the President's new policy of accepting the judgment of his | cabinet officers in the matter of the less im- | portant appointments under their jurisdic- |tion. It presents, however, the unusual spectacle of a civilian practically dictating | selections for federal offices, and must be | considered as a great compliment to Mr. | Quincy. The Joint Commitice to Take Up the Question at Once. ‘The subcommittees of the House and Sen- ate committees on public buildings and | grounds, having charge of the subject of providing a new government printing of- | fice, will tomorrow commence the work of | determining upon a site. push ‘this matter to an early end and to decide upon the location and introduce and secure action upon a bill carrying suffi- cient appropriations to begin the work. It is the alm of this foint committee, its mem- bers say, to secure a site which will be ac- ments. ‘The members of the committee are sald to be considerably hampered in their work by the importunities of persons represent- ing the different sites heretofore proposed or being proposed for the building. There are a number of conflicting interests, all of them fighting each other and adding to the difficulties of the situation. It is considered more than likely that the subcommittee will disregard entirely all of the propdsitions heretofore made and will start out in its own way and time to select e wherever it may deem best.

NO STEP IN ADVANCE. The Senate Debate on the Repeal Bill Drags Along. ‘The Line of Gouprouios Work—Cleve- land and Carlisle Confident the Voorhees Bill Wi Pa ‘The Senate has lapsed back into the con- dition where the chief interest centers in| the debate, speeches are interrupted and | every now and then a running debate oc- | curs, with questions and answers and cross questions and, as far as the naked eye can see, not a single step of progress is being made. Conferences over compromise seem | to let up to some extent, the Senators set- | tling down to think it over and await fur- | ther results. There is a renewal of the talk | of the necessity of a test of physical endur- | ance vefore anything can be done. Such a test, of course, will be largely a theatrical | performance, as there is no special reason | to suppose that the silver men, having no Special responsibilities on their shoulders, | would succumb to fatigue quicker than the repeal men, wad Such® test would probably end in a truce and nothing else. It might serve, however, to demonstrate, if further demonstration ‘is necessary, the fact that | under the present rules of the Senate noth- | ing can be done by the majority when the | minority put thelr foot down and say It | sha’n't. ‘Theeats of Continued Filibustering. Some of the radical silver men, like Stew- art, declare that there shall be no compro- mise, but that the fight shall continue for a| month, or two months, or three months, | unless the majority surrender. This means, of course, if It means anything, that they will filibuster against a compromise as well as against the main bill itself. If it came to that, however, there would probably be | Ro tnore than two or three silver men who | i would take such a position if a compromise were actually presented. Thé talk of com- Promise does not signify any attempt at an agreement between the silver men and those who are out and out for uncondi- tional repeal. ‘The radical and earnest un- conditional repealers may be relied on never to agree to any compromise and the con- ferences that have been held are not with | | them, but between men opposed to uncon- | ditional repeal radically, and others who will vote for repeal, but’ who would prefer to have the bill amended. It is claimed | that a majority of the Senate would like to | see the bill amended in some particular, | but that there is not a majority in favor of any one form of amendment, and the pur- pose is, if possible, to have all who would favor amendment at all come together and agree on some particular amendment. The Line of Compromise Work. | It is on this line that the work for a com- promise is being conducted, and whether or | not ft is successful depends upon the cor- | rectness of the assumption that there are ‘enough Senators willing to see the bill | amended to make up a majority should they | Set together. The men who from the first | have taken the position that there must be an unconditional repeal of the Sherman law and nothing else at this time, are as firm as a rock and most of them are perfectly | willing to continue the fight as long as neces- sary to win, and express confidence that they can pass the bill eventually. It must | therefore be in spite of the attitude of these | men that a compromise is reached, if any can be reached. ‘The idea of Mr. Cleveland agreeing to a compromise, though he might sign an amended bill if sent to him, ts re- garded as absurd. It appears quite evident | that Mr. Cleveland will never agree to yield an inch of ground, and it is said that both | he and Mr. Carlisie are still confident that | the Voorhees bill will pass in its present | form. ‘The Morgan Rexolution. It ts said that if any compromise is reach- ed it will include a provision for the repeal of the state bank tax as well as one for| the Issue of bonds to secure gold. Mr. Mor-! gan introduced the Senate yesterday a resclution directing the judiciary committee | to investigate the question and report to | the Senate whether the act of 1837 for the | coinage of silver were still in existence and would be in force if the Sherman law was repealed. This was objected to and. went | over for consideration today not, as it was said, because of any. objection ‘to the ite formation being furnished by the judiciary | committee or doubt as to what their report would be, but because of the fear that it might be’ made the excuse for delay. This resolution relates to the theory which has been repeatedly advanced and is often con- | troverted that the law of 1837 has not been | repealed. The question has been talked | about for a long time and has, directly and | indirectly, been brought up in discussion from time to time since the silver question | has been under consideration. It has not. however, been regarded as a matter of suf. | ficient doubt to require any formal consid j eration. The answer has always been that | the law was defunct, having been repealed, and that there was no comfort for the sil-| ver men to be found in it. -°—— Montgomery's Trial Trip Postponed. The trial trip of the cruiser Montgomery, which was to have taken place today, has been postponed indefinitely in consequence of the damage sustained by the vessel in grounding just outside of New London early Wednesday morning. The government is in no wise responsible for the accident for the reason that the vessel was officered and manned by the regular force of the contract- ors. A pilot was in charge of the Montgom- ery when the accident occurred. It is under- | stood that the vessel will be taken back to Baltimore for repairs. ‘The Cruiser Olympia. Arrangements are being made at the Navy Department for the trial trip of the cruiser Olympia, built by the Union iron works of San Francisco. The Olympia will be the largest unarmored cruiser in the navy, be- | ing nine hundred tons larger than the Balti- more, which now holds the distinction. The course she will take is knowm as the Santa Barbara channel course, just off Los Ange- lies, where the water is deep and smooth, IN SECRET SESSION. | The Senate Debating on the Indian | Agents’ Nominations. THE FRESIENT SEVERELY ARRAIGNED For Violating Another Plank of His Party Platform. DEMOCRATS ASSISTING. In accordance with the agreement made! last week the Senate, immediately after a brief period of routine morning business, | went into executive session with the inten- tion of spending the entire day discussing the nominations of Indian agents. This special session was made imperative by the | attitude of th: republicans, who have pre- ented a united opposition to the confirma- tion of Indian agents nominated by the President from various eastern states—nom- {nations which the republicans say are not | only antagonistic to the platform of the democratic party indorsing “home rule,’ but which, they assert, violate well estab- Ushed precedents in the matter of such nominations. Last week an effort was made to call up these nominations, Mr. | Jones, chairman gf the committee on In- | AN ELECTION POSSIBLE. To Settle the Form of Government in | Hawaii. What an Election Wo: Willis Sees the President—Ex- ive Message Ready. ce! Interest in the Hawalian question has been revived by outward evidences that the President and the Secretary of State are giving {t a large share of their attention at present. There was an important confer- ence on the subject at the White House this | afternoon. Those present were the Presi- {dent, Secretary Gresham and Mr. Willis, | the new minister to Hawaii. The latter did not leave the city last night, as was | announced. He was not able to see the President yesterday, and it was deemed | advisable that he should do so before de- parting for his distant post beyond the reach of the telegraph. He had already re- ceived his written instructions from the Secretary of State and has had several con- | sultations with him since his appointment, | but it was not until today that he was ‘enabled to get a personai statement from the President on the subject of his policy | toward the Hawaiian Islands. An Executive Message. An executive message on Hawalian af- !fairs has been prepared for some weeks, | ready for transmission to the Senate when- ever action on the silver question permits the consideration of other business by that dian affairs, makitg the statement as an | inducement for an executive session which | ody.

Against the Death Trap Known Government Printing Omice. The Vice President today laid before the Senate a series of resolutions that were adopted last June by the International Typo- graphical Union at the annual convention in Chicago, petitioning Congress to hasten to replace the old government printing office with a new building. The resolutions are as follows: “Whereas the late catastrophe in the old Ford's Theater building in Washington, where many lives were lost and scores of people were injured, has shocked the entire country, and Whereas the calamity is undoubtedly the result of an almost criminal policy on the part of a great and rich government in crowding hundreds of its employes into buildings which are known to be structur- ally weak and so lacking in modern improve- ments as to seriously endanger health and life, and “Whereas there are 3,000 people employed in the government printing office, upwards | of $0 of whom are members of this organi- | zation, and the considered in executive session, it is sumed that the President's message is dressed to the Senate in its confidential capacity as the adviser of the executive and the sharer with him of the treaty- making power of the government. Suggested Election. A Washington special to the Baltimore Sun, believed to have official inspiration, purports to give the result of “Paramount Authority” Blount’s investigations of the situation in Hawall. According :0 this authority Mr. Blount’s recommendation is “that no action should be taken by the United States to annex the island or estab- lish a protectorate over it without the full consent of all the natives. The report Tecommends that all questions involved in annexation and establishment of a protec- torate should be submitted to a vote of alt natives, as well as foreigners, and upon their decision rests the future policy of the United States respecting the Hawatian Island. “If Mr.Cleveland adopts the recommenda- tions submitted it practically means that the queen will be restored to power, as she is said to be popular among the natives, each of whose votes is to be equal to that of a foreigner, and it will mean further the vomplete ascendancy of Mr. Claus Spreck- els, the sugar king, who, of all forelgners on the island, is most largely interested in its sugar industries, and who is said to enjoy certain privileges from the crown which no one else has enjoyed. It is stated that the itslunders have unbounded con: dence In the United States, and are willl to accept their decree as to the policy to be pursued.” euet ‘What It Would Mean. It has been charged before that this ad- ministration is opposed to annexation and to a protectorate (except of a very mild character), but it has never before been asserted, on authority known to be favor- able to the administration, that it favors practically the restoration of the monarchy. Whether, in the event of the natives declar- ing against a protectorate and manifesting desire for the restoration of Queen Lil, uokalant, the United States is to undertake the task of replacing her on the throne and maintaining her there against what appears to be the desire of the entire foreign-born population (except Mr. Spreckles), is a ques- tion upon which no disclosure is made. Secretary Gresham was seen by a Star re- Porter today, but refused to discuss the Hawallan question and would neither affirm nor deny the report that Mr. Blount had recommended the submission of the question of government to the natives. Upon the Commi Education Today. Dr. W. T. Harris, commissioner of edu- cation, was overpowered today with dis- tinguished foreign callers. Some of these Were as follows: Prof. Loula Wuarin of the University of Geneva; Raphael Georges Levy, professor of the College of Political Sciences, Paris. Geh. Regirungssrath Ber- tram, superintendent of the schools of Ber- ln; Prof. Dr. Emil Hausknecht, representa- tive of the Prussian minister of education at Chicago; Signor L. Bodio, director gen- eral of the Royal Irstitute of Statistics, Rome; Dr. Augusta Bosco, Italian political economist; Luigo Georgis Bonelli, repre- sentative of the minister of public instruc tion of Italy, at Chicago:Prof. Dr. H. Back loner of “Whereas that building is notoriously in- adequate for the purposes to which it is put, | is totally lacking in modern improvements, | having no system of ventilation, and is a! constant menace to the health and lives of | the employes in it; therefore, be it “Resolved, by the International Typo- graphical Union in convention assembled, that we do most heartily protest against further delay on the part of Congress in the matter of providing for a modern building in which to do the printing of the govern- ment, and we urge the printing committees of both houses of Congress to have the question brought speedily to the considera- tion of their respective houses at their next session.”” The resolutions are signed by W. B. Pres- | cott, president, and A. G. Wines, secretary- treasurer. They were referred to the print- ing committee, of which Senator Gorman is chairman. \ | i | ——— To Re Court Murtinted. The Secretary of War has ordered a court- martial for the trial of Capt. Daniel. F. Stiles, retired, U.S. A.

Another charge is that he pur- chased government buildings and other property at the time of the breaking up of the camp which he commanded by collu- sion with the auctioneer at prices much be- | low their actual value.

THE VALKYRIE LEADS ——o—___ Light Breeze for the Big Yacht Race. MORNING SCENES AT SANDY OOK. A Great Fleet of Excursion Boats on Hand. DETAILS OF THE CONTEST. SANDY HOOK, N. J., Oct. 5.—All New York, apparently, got up early this morn- ing, and, taking boats that varied in nize from an ocean steamship to a naphtha launch, put to sea. The first of the races for the America’s cup, the trophy of inter- national racing, was on, and town was yacht mad. The days of the naval review, when the waters of the upper bay and the Hudson river opposite the city were crowd- ed with all manner of craft, were recalled, but today the vessels were iarger and braver, for they had the bosom of the At- lantic for a rendetvous, instead of the placid waters of the bay. Never before in one day have 30 many people embarked upon vessels and gone to sea from this port. Lord Dunraven. Never has such a flotilla passed down be- tween the shores of Staten and Long Islands, out the Narrows and across the broad expanse of the lower bay to Sandy Hook and across the bar. Experiences at the trial races, when small steamboats were nearly swamped in heavy seas, led many thousands to secure passage on big ocean steamships, which were for the time pressed into service as excursion hwats. ‘There were also Long Island sound steam- boats and coasting boats built for rough weather, steamboats from points hun- dreds of mites away were in the procession, and with all the local steamboats, the steam and satling yachts and myriads of tugs, made a big flotilig. The leaden skies of the early morning 4id not daunt the crowds, and pattiotic men and women filled the decks of all the ves- sels Up Anchi Both Boats. A thick mist hung over the water and there was scarcely a sign of a breeze when the two yachts which were to stand for their nation’s honor got their anchers and started down the bay. , Capt. Cranfe Both boats had been at anchor over night off Bay Ridge. The crews had put every- thing in readiness yesterday and had turn- ed in early to get a gcod night's rest. They were astir at dawa and all unnecessary things were put on tenders. The Vixilant, with C. Oliver Iselin, the head of the syndicate of owners, on board, and Capt. Hansen at the tiller, was the first to get under way. There was ho sign of a breeze when she started at 8 o'clock in tow for the course. Lord Dunraven's C, Oliver Iselin. Valkyrie, with Capt. Cranfield at the wheel, and Dunraven on board, got under way fifteen minutes later. Both boats were towed directly out to the Sandy Hook light- ship. As they passed’ down the bay they were saluted by incoming ocean steamers, tugs and steamboats and their crews waved their caps in acknowledgment. The Luckenback and Ocean King, the two big tugs used for ‘stake boats, went down an hour later. Commodore Morgan's steam yacht May, with the America cup committee aboard, left Ray Ridge a little after 9 o'¢iock and went down to take her place for the start. The sun broke through the clouds about 9:30 and helped dispel the mist. Awaiting the Start. It 1s not believed that a larger fleet of excursion boats ever came through the | Narrows than that which this morning headed oceanward bearing thousands of persons to witness the race. Some of these boats escorted the two racers as they made |for the starting point, in order to gratify the curiosity of their passengers, who de- |Sired to see the boats at close quarters. Among the better known boats compos- ing the fleet were the ocean steamers | Olivette, Guyandotte and New Orleans, the |river, sqund and harbor boats Monmouth, William C. Egerton, Gen. Slocum, Grand | Republic, Republic, Mount Hope, New | Brunswick, Angler, Waterbury, Eliza Han- cox and Magenta, and the vessels of the Iron Steamboat Company, so well known to Coney Island goers. ‘The Valkyrie. morning at § o'clock reports Island, which Inspector Smith of the breeziest points along the coast, only fourteen miles an hour, with no cations of an increase. “The weather will be clearer later in day and the sun will come out, but wind—not a particle,” said the inspector. from says of excursion boats followed close. 12:25 p.m.—Two of the ocean steamers fol lowing the racers have got between them and the shore and thus impede the view from this point. ‘The hulls cannot be at all, and the only way the boats can distinguished ts by their sails. At -boats were apparently abreast. ‘There tage, and is siowly gaining. Valkyrie in the Lead. 1:55 p. m.—The Valkyrie gained through the hunt for wind made by the Vigilant. Valkyrie kept on down the beach, while the Vigilant went to the eastward, when the latter straightened out on her course. English boat was well in the lead. She steadily increasing her advantage. 2:05 p. m.—Valkyrie is nearing boat. It is estimated here that least a mile and a quarter in From present indications it will be no as it appears impossible with the wind it is now for the yacht to finish within time limit.
