[THIRD TERM TALK Two Opinions in Democratic Circles on the President’s Duty. (NE CALLS FOR PROMPT DECLARATION SS The Other Advocates the Policy of Continued Silence. THE HOPE IN —_—_+—___ DELAY The latest story respecting Mr. Cleve- land’s attitude toward a third. term ‘rep- resents him as cozferring freely with his more intimate friends on the subject. Thé rames ef those friends are not given. The story in certain quarters is attributed to a cabinet officer. The politicians are puz- zied. But a little more than a week ago Secretary Carlisle, in a conversation with a. friend, afterward printed in the news- papers, stated that close as he was to the President. the subject of a third term had never come up between them. Secretary Lamont has also declared that the Pres!- dent has never mentioned the subject to him. Is there anybody, in the cabinet or cut of it, with whom the President confers more freely about public questions and his own relations to them than with Mr. Car- Isle and Col. Lamont? Some Think He Should Speak Ont. There are two opinions in democtatic circles on the subject of the course the President should pursue in this matter, and they represent faithfully the wishes of those who entertain them. The men who oppose a third term think that the Presi- dent should seize the earliest opportunity to"speak out. They assume that he must know how popular the topic has become both in the newspapers and in private cun- versation, and they hold that it is not a topic to be safely left too long to specula- tion. Delay, as they belleve, will injure Loth Mr. Cleveland and his party. He will suffer because of the assumption, which will grow, that he {s willing to violate the great precedent If only he can assure him- self of success, and the party will suffer because of the impressicn given to the country that it contains but one man upon whom the hope of winning at the polls can with anything like confidence be hung. Two ways are suggested In connection with the question ef-how the proper announce- ment might be made. Mr. Cleveland might write a letter in reply to a letter, or he might improve the occasion of sen ing his next message to Congress to make his intentions known. Either method, it is held, could be made the means of setting the whole matter entirely at rest. The Policy of Silence. But there are third-term democrats—men who see neither danger to the count any sort of impropriety in the prox renewal of Mr. Cleveland’s lease of office— and these men hold that Mr. Cleveland should not, under any circumstances, say a word on the subject-at this ti should he? they ask. It is not hi newspapers or else: He cannot afford to as y specting himself. A third term has not Leen oitered tim. For him to come for- vard now, therefore, with no better reason for doing so (han general speculation and decline another term as President would, these men declare, be an a ticnable taste. They do not “leveland capable of it. He sh insist, let this matter settle itself, and they think that such will be his decision. The Hope in Deluy. ‘The hope of the third-termers is In de- lay. They are confident that if Mr. Clev land maintains silence, and issues no pri- vate word of warring to his friends, the sentiment of the democracy will again di mand his leadership. He stands, as they insist, not only for more than iny other man in the party, but conspicuously the very things that the country nesi y Will be most interested in. The is the same advtnced by the friends of Gen. Harrison in his behalf. Here is the men who has ieen tried. Whatever the party claims credit for, and asks indors ment on, he represents. Put him up ar he'll answer for both candidate and plat- form. Fail to put him up, and the general sentiment of the party will experience a ebill. And, curiously enough, the men who ume auything re- the republicans again next year, while the Harrison republicans are predicting that ao will again take Mr. Cleve- land. —__—_.e EESIGNED TO BECQME A BRAKEMAN Why Lieut. Hine Has Given Army Commiéssicn. The President has accepted the resigna- tion of Second Lieut. Charles DeL. Hine of the sixth infantry. Mr. Hine was appointed in i888 to the Military Academy from Vir- ginia by the late Representative rbour. He had graduated from the Washington High School in 1885, and upon his gradua- tion from Wset Point in 1891 he was given commission that he has just relin- Up an “Big Four’ Railway Company. Mr. Hine has long had an ambition to join the ranks of railroad men, and after graduating from the Cincinnati Law School—which he had an opportunity to attend while his regi- ment was stationed across the river at Fort Thomas,.Ky.—and learning telegraphy he decided to break loose from the military service and begin at the bottom rung of the ladder in the railroad work. He had an understanding with the authorities of the “Big Four’ that if he should show an adaptability for the business he should re- ceive recognition and promotion, and thus rmy, with permission to resign piration. ‘That period has now Hine has become plain orking on a local freigat train running in and out of Cincinnati. Hine writes to a friend in this city that he has had three months of migt hard work, and sometimes he has missed the comfortable quarters at Fort Thomas; but he has kept at his new work with char- acteristic vim and energy, and believes that he will soon pass the trying daysof ap- prenticeship, go aheail to the position of a conductor and then reach the grade of a superintendent. Those here who knew him in earlier years are confident that he will win his fight. .———-o+_____ HEALTH OF THE DISTRICT. The Death Rate Fell Thirty-Three Per Cent Last Week. There was a gratifying improvement in the health of the city last week. The numiber of deaths, as reported at the health department, was 107, as against in the preceding week. The death rate fell 23 per cent, reaching 20.5, as compared with the previous report of 30.5. The deaths of children under five years of age declined from 79 to 53. It is thus seemingly indi- cated that the intensity of the annual rise in the mortality from summer maladies reached its climax last week, and the ou lock for a gradual improvement during the balance of the summer may be con- sidered favorable. There was but one death from diphtheria and none from scar- let fever nor from eny of the dangerous cortagious diseases reported, while there were four deaths from typhoid fever last week and four from the same ease in the former week. eo National Guard Notes.

E A CLASH IMMINENT Bitterness Between Grand Army and Oon- federate Veterans. A Fight May Ensue Over a Rexolution Whigh Seeks to Combine Them for a Sentimental Purpose. - 8 Encampment No. 69, Union Veteran Le- |- gion, is giving an excursion to Marshall Hall today in conjunction with the John’ B. Henderson Drum Corps. The excur- sionists are having an enjoyable time, and it fs expected that the speechrnaking to take place tonight will be interesting, inasmuch as Corporal Tanner will take opportunity. to reply to the remarks made by Solicitor General Holmes Conrad at the same place on the occasion of the Confederate Veterans’ excursion last week. On this outing the members of the Union Vete Legion were present as Invited guests, and were very much surprised, to put it mildly, at the tenor of Mr. Conrad's speech, especially a portion of it in which, it is reported, he declared that the war had settled nothing. Some of the veterans wanted to controvert this statement at the time, but were not allowed to by reason of the presiding officer announcing that the speeches were concluded. Corporal Tan- ner was not present, being then absent from the city, but was made acquainted with the facts on his return and will ad- dress himself to them tonight. James D. Brady of Virginia is also expected to have something to say on the subject. Further Fuel for the Flames, . There is no doubt that a great deal of bit- terness has been occasioned in Grand Army circles over Mr. Conrad's speech, and it may have the effect of raising a storm of protest when a proposition in the shape of a resolution, now under consideration by the executive committee of the Confederate Veterans’ Assdctation of this city, is sub- mitted to Grand Army posts for action. resolution, which will be acted on by xecutive committee at its meeting to- w night, was inspired by the recent nveiling of the confederate soldiers’ mon- ument at Chicago. The veterahs of both armies who made speeches on that occa- sion oke broadly of the men engaged in il war und he generic term of “the American sold. A resolution was accordingly drawn up ‘by a confederate veteran living in tii!s city which provides that all branches of the Confederate Vi ns’ Association and Grand Army posts shall combine in an ef- fert to urge Congress to pass a bill pro- viding for the erection of a bridge over the Potomac at Washington, joining this city to the national cemetery at Arlington, es a memorial to the American soldier. The resolution further provides that at the northern entrance to the bridge there shail be statues of Grant and Sherman, while at the southern entrance statues of Lee and Johnston shall be erected. At in- tervals across the structure there shail be other statues of the leading heroes of the north and south. A Combined Encampment Proposed. It is still further provided that when the bridge {s finished all the veterans who fought on either side during the war shell assemble in Washington, and camp to- gether under the Washington monument, and take part in the ceremonies of dedica- tion. In case the executive cemmitice of the Confederate Veterans’ Association de- cide to act fagorably upon this resolution, and submit it for ratification to their own associates and the posts of the Grand Army of the Repuplic, it is expected that a warm discussion will ensue all over the country, and a great deal of political ma- terial be manufactured from it for the com- ing presidential campaign.

The Citizens’ Association Presents Considerations on the Other Side —Invited to Lock at the Books, ——___) President Griswold of the Ajacostia rail- road had a hearing before, tha Commission- ers this morning with reference to the re- auest presented to the Commissioners sey- eral days ago by a commiftes,of the Ana- Association, asking that the road be compelied to put on conductors, in addition to two-horse cars..,In the laws regulating street railroads,the,Commission- ers are empowered to exumpw street rail- roads running through a ‘sparsely settled section from the requiretienté compelling them to have two horses 4¥d gpnductors. Mr. Griswold took exception, to a num- ber of the statements of tlw committee, and argued thAt the firancialtcohdition of the road was hot such as'to wfirrafit the neces: sary additional expenditure; He occupied the bulk of his time in reading a’report of the working of the road to’ ststain his posi- Uon. He- presented facts and figures to show that for years past the road and its different branches have carried less than a third of the number of passengers for which the cars offer seating accommodations. On some of the branches the proportion is materially less, but.that held good during the month of J->2, 1892, which showed the largest receipt any month in the history of the road. More Cars Used. The business of the road fell off to such an extent that it was necessary to discon- tinue conductors-in order to keep up the car service. He thought that it was better to send a larger nimber of ‘cars over the lines for the accommodation of the public without conductors than it would be to have a smaller number of ears with con- ductors. The difference in the’ receipts of the road Mr, Griswold pointed out that they would have to lose nearly 700 passengers per day to make the difference equal to the ex- penditures made necessary by the employ- ment of conductors, In point of fact, owing to all causes, the number of passengers on the road has shown a decrease of only 20% © day, and there was no reason to believe but that this decrease would have been as large even had conductors been employed upon the road. In other words, Mr. Gris- wold maintained that to accede to the re- quests of the people of Anacostia was a financial impossibility for the road, which, even as it is, has never paid dividends. Population Enough. Mr, Henry Johnson, the secretary of the Anacostia Citizens’ Association, was pres- ent at the hearing and had a few words to say with reference to railroad mAtters in that section. He brought forward a num- ber of arguments, which have already ap- peared in print from time to time, to the effect that it wes owing to mismanage- ment that the road had been a non-payin affair, rather than to any sparsity of Lope ulation in the section through which its lines pass. As to the road now being a suc- cess, Mr. Johnson expressed the opinion that it never would be so long as things are run as they are now. Mr. Griswold said that the books of the,company were open at any time to Mr. Johnson, as a stockholder in the company, A Suggestion. The Commissioners suggested to Mr. ‘Johnson that, as he appeared in a public capacity, he owed it to his people to study the books and produce arguments based on the actual receipts and ,expenses of the road, rather than arguments based on the population of the section tg which the road caters and the business that it-ought to do. The Commissioners appeared to place considerable reliance on the facts and fig- ures presented to them by the president of the road, and while they agreed to take the matter under consideration, {t4s doubtful if they will see their way cto enforcing the strict letter of the law gn the Anacostia road. # ———— No lover of gocd stories Should miss read- ing the $2,000 prize deteétive’story, “The Long Arm,” by Miss Mary BH.

WHAT QUAY HAS DONE Why Fellow Republicans of Penn- sylvania Fight Him. : ORIGHT IN THE MAYCRALTY CAMPAIGN What One of His Leading Oppo- hents Says. CAMERON TO BE OVERTHROWN From a Staff Correspondent. PHILADELPHIA, July 31.—This city is now the headquarters of beth parties of belligerents in the Quay-Hastings fight, and the main interest centers here. Both factions have established a camp from which to conduct a campaign, but the anti-Quay people are better organized ond are waging a more thorough system of aggressive warfare. The Hastings people say that they are going in to wipe out Mr. Quay entirely, and, to tell the truth, they.are making elaborate preparations to do it. - A notable feature of the contest at this stage is the bitterness and rancor that characterizes the utterdnces of both fac- tions. It is probable that after the victory has been won and the smoke of battle Las cleared away it will be found that there re some ugly scars on the body politic, and feuds will have been established which may require years to settle. bd The anti-Quay people have opened a literary bureau here, from which they are flooding the state with political reading matter in a mcst systematic manner. The political screeds prepared by the bureau are printed and supplied in proof to about 175 newspapers of the state, the small country weeklies that go among the peo- ple. Circulars are mailed to individuals by the thousands, together with reprints of editorials appearing in influential papers favorable to the anti-Quay side. The feeling against Mr. Quay is probably more bitter in Philadelphia than in some other parts of the state, due, it Is ex- plained, to his conduct in the late maycr- alty campaign, which aroused the city so thoroughly. It is said’that he espouscd a cause at that time so notably unpopular that it reflected upon him to his harm. It is claimed here that the mayoralty trouble really precipitated the present fight. Of course, it is well understood by evervbudy that his enemies had a rod in pickie for him a long time before that occurrence. + Whe Cause of the Fight. “I will tell you the whole history of this matter,” said one of the managers of the anti-Quay faction yesterday. “It started when Mr. Quay came to Philadelphia and insisted that Mr. Penrose should be nom- inated as the republican candidate for mayor. Word was passed around to that effect and it immediately aroused a storm of protest from the hetter classes through- out the city. On account of Mr. Penrose’s personal habits and manner of life the Christian Endeavor societies, the Women’s Civic Club, the Citizens’ Municipal League and prominent clergymen of Philadelphia opposed placing him at the head of the city government. Mr. Quay was called to Philadelphia and at a conference with David Martin and others he agreed to drop Penrose and take some. man more accep- ‘| able to the citizens. This was well under- stood to be the agreement, but the day before the primaries Mr. Quay reconsid- ered that decision, and insisted upon the nomination of Penrose. The local man- agers refused to do this and succeeded in nominating . Warwick. “Then we had the spectacle of Mr. Quay dragging the mayoralty contest into the United States Senate, declaring that Da- vid Martin, who had managed the nomina- tion, wore the dollar mark of a great cor- poration. From that moment Mr. Quay seemed to feel that he must fight Mr. Mar- tin and all his friends. The great traction syndicate, which had opposed the nomina- tion of Penrose, because {t was believed his candidacy would bring a democratic victory, something this syndicate did not want, fot business reasons, was also the victim of Mr. Quay’s animosity. He dumped all of his stock in the syndicate upon the market. Opposition -to Reapportionment. “But the most outrageous action of Mr. Quay, ard for which he is held most’ sc- verely to account, was his course toward the apportionment bill. When Governor Hastings made his run for office the key- note of his campaign was a promise to re- apporticn the state, as the constitution re- quired. It was the burden of his first mes- sage to the legislature, and the object of a sustained effort. When the bill was pend- ing in the legislature it was nct known that there was opposition to it from any source. The bill would have given the re- publicans two more Congressmen and sev- eral more legislators. It was a good party measure in every respect. “One day, when everything seemed to be geing smoothly, Mr. Quay turned up at Harrisburg. He had discovered that the apportionment bill would cperate disad- vantageously to Senator Cameron's sen- atcrial prospects and to his own interests in the maiter of controlling the deiegation to the national convention, because it would give Mr. Magee of Pittsburg and Mr. Mar- Un of Philadelphia additional strength. It was a cold-blooded calcuiation which he made about it, entirely. Here was a bill that the republicans of the whole state wanted, that would be of decided ad- vantage to the party, and increase its pewer, and yet, because it seemed to favor a factional element in the party to his dis- advantage, Mr. Quay must killit. He knew it was impossible to beat it in a fair fight, so he resorted to scheming. He made a combination with the democrats, who, cf course, did not want the bill to pass, and with a few republican votes of his own and the entire democratic vote, he de- feated the bill. It was a severe blow to Governor Hastings, who had promised the bill to the people of the state, and now found his pledge defeated by Mr. Quay. Quay’s Obligations to Cameron. “I think that Mr. Quay was forced into that matter by Mr. Cameron. Everybody knows he is under obligation to Senator Cameron for financial help rendered at a most pressing penod, and he was obliged to protect Mr. Cameron's interests in every way; 80 when they were menaced by the apportionment bill he had to come to the front. It is the general belief that Mr. Cameron is furnishing the money for this campaign. He ought to, for it is largely in his behalf that it is being made. , “There was ho necessity for Mr. Quay to vindicate his leadership at this time in his own cause, for up to the time he pre- cipitated this fight no one had challenged it. The fact is, Mr. Cameron found he was losing ground in the state and it was neces- sary for Mr. Quay to get hold of the state machinery in order that it should not be utilized against Cameron. Of course, if Mr. Quay should win this fight he will also use the state machinery in the make-up of the delegation to the national convention. = Cameron Overthrown. “There is one thing sure, whatever may be the outcome for Mr. Quay, Senator Cam-* eron is laid out. He is done for completely. The people were tired of both Mr. Quay and Mr. Cameron, but if they can't bring | down Mr. Quay they can certainly fetch the other one. When Mr. Cameron's term expires Pennsylvania politics will be re- lieved of an incubus it has borne long and atiently. It has been a source of sorrow ' Mr. Quay’s friends that he has to bur- den himself with Mr. Cameron, for if he did not have that load to carry he could make a great deal better fight for himself. Of course we are delighted that Mr. Quay is carrying this old man of the sea on his shoulders, and we think he is already in over his depth so that he cannot wade out with his burden. Mr. Gilkeson as chairman of the state committee. « Present Manngement Satisfactory. “The republicans of this state do not want Mr. Quay at the head of the next campaign, under any circumstances. Dur- ing his ‘masterful leadership,’ as it was called by his friends, the state had a demo- cratic governor for eight years out of twelve. The leadership of the present com- bination is good enough. Mr. Magee rolled up 40,000 republican majority in Allegheny county last November, Mr. Martin 80,000 in Philadelphia and under Gilkeson’s chair- manship the state gave 240,000 majorizy. What do we want with a change of man- agement under these circumstances?” _ The foregoing interview came from a man who is one of the moving spirits in the anti-Quay party and may be accepted as a fair indication of the state of feeling among opponents of Mr. Quay. With such a sentiment of aggressiveness and a pow- erful aggregation of political and finarfeial forces the combination is making things lively for the Senator from Pennsylvania. Oo. M. es AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Deadlock in the City Council Over Ap- pointment ofan Almshouse Keeper, Capt. Kelley’s Will—Favorable News From Mayor Beckham—The Mayor's ‘. Court — Other Items. A special meeting of the city council was called for last night -by Acting Mayor Snowden to elect, the minor city officers and transact such business as is urgent befcre the summer vacation. It was de- cided to hold no further meetings of the council until the second Tuesday in Octo- ber. Only eleven members being present, mo new business could be introduced, and, after hearing the reports of several com- mittees on immaterial matters, the council took a recess. ‘The members of the board of aldermen were then invited into joint session to pro- ceed with the election of the minor officers. The first business was the election of the fire wardens, which resulted as follows: First ward, J. M. Hill; second ward, J. B. Harlow; third ward, Louis Brill. Mr. Geo. R. Rill was elected from the fourth ward at the lust meeting of the council. The election of a dispenser of medicine was postponed until a bill could be introduced providing for two dispensers. The present iz.cumbents of the board of health were re- elected, except that the name of Mr. Worth Hulfish was substituted for that of J. G. Milburn, Mr. Milpurn having moved. For keeper of the almshouse council in- @ulged in about an hour's child's play, seven or eight names having been up at various times and several members voting for other members at different times. Upon the thirty-fourth ballot, at 11:10, upon motion of Mr. Theo. Ballinger, the joint convention dissolved. Both bodies then ad- jJourned. This fight over the office of keep- er of the almshouse is exciting consider- able interest. The two principal contest- ants are Wm. Skillman and Capt. Robt. Travers, and as each bailot ends in a “deadlock,” it seems evident that the friends of each man are determined to fight it to the bitter end. Death of Jno. Dixon. Mr. Jno- A. Dixon, one of the oldest and mcst esteemed residents of this city, dicd at his residence on North Washington street about noon yesterday. He was fh the eighty-first year of his age, and had been declining in health for several years.

Beckham went to recuperate, are to the effect that he is im- preving rapidly. Mr. Beckham's illness Was in no way serious, simply being the result of long-continued labors, from which he had had no rest for a number of years, He will probably resume the duties of mayor of this city in a short while.

Rice of the Pres- byterian Church in this efty will not accept the call he has received from Lexington, though it is feared he will. Mr. Rice is a great favorite here.
