MORRISON CHICAGO, iL, January 16.—Chicago ho- tel Keepers do not seem to like the agree- ment made by the citizens’ committee at Washington yesterday to the effect that no Chicago hotel will book any delegation for the national democratic convention within thirty days, or before the national com- mittee engages ita quarters, and do not cersider it binding on them. News of the selection of Chicago as the place to hold the national democratic con- vention was received locally with no mani- festations of excitement. The feeling from the start has been that if Chicago was to be chosen as the democratic convention city it would be for the sole reason that Chicago was best qualified to take care of it in the minds of the national committee. Hotel proprietors and managers and some of the trades exhibited a certain degree of interest in the matter, but that was all. The convention will doubtless be held at the Coliseum, but that is a matter to be settled by the national democratic commit- tee. Ex-Mayor Hopkins, in speaking of the lateness of the date of the convention, said: “I regret that the national committee decided to hold the convention so late as July 7. The democratic party is in control of the national administration and it has always been the rule for the party in power to hold its convention first. It looks like cowardice on the part of the democrats for them to hold their convention this year after the republicans.” Controller Eckels did not think the place of holding the convention would have any- anything to de, one way or the other, with the conventisn’s nominee, whether it was an eastern or western man. When asked what effect he thought it would have on Cleveland's alleged third term candidacy, he_ said: “TI do not wish to talk on that, for I do not think there’s anything at all in it. I —- believe he is a candidate for re-elec- tion. “What effect do you think it will have on ging out a western man? ‘None at all, any more than if the cqn- vention were held in New York or any other eastern city.” ‘Do you think it will help the candidacy jovernor Matthews of Indiana?” ot at all.” The Post today says: democratic politicians, representing both the silver and anti-silver wings of the party, unhesitatingly declare that the lo- cation of the democratic conventicn at Chicago has vastly improved the chances of Colonel Wm. R. Morrison as a presi- dential possibility and makes him at once the mostp rominent among candidates. Al- ready plans are being laid in Cook county to select a delegation favorable to him, and unless a radical change in the local sentiment occurs Morrison will have the Minois delegation instructed for him or not, just as he chooses. ——— THE DEADLOCK CONTINUES. bri Prominent local Wellington Gains at Annapolis, but Not Enough to Elect Him. Special Dispateh to The Evening Star. ANNAPOLIS, Md. January 17.—The third joint ballot of the Maryland general assembly for the election of United States Senator was taken at noon today with the following result: Republican: George L. Wellington.. Phillips L. Goldsborough Charles T. Westcott James C. Mullikin. Robert B. Dixon. Sydney E. Mudd me Lanes Democrats. John W. Smith. -19 Henry Page. 8 John J. Wirt. oS Senator A.Lincoln Dryden had announced his withdrawal from the fight, and his vote, as well as that of the Somerset delegation, “was cast for Phillips L. Goldsborough. The Wellington men are delighted with the Congressman’s gains over yesterday and declare that they will stick to him to the end. Goldsborough, despite his gain from Somerset, lost ground, and his supporters ‘are unfeignedly disappointed at the result of the ballot, as they had high hopes of his election today. The Dixon boom failed to gain, its one vete coming from Serator Norwood of Frederick, who has voted for the Talbet banker with unfailing regularity. One hundred and six members of the gereral essembly were present today, but Serator John W. Smith declined to vote, and 10% ballots were cast for the several candidates. No desire for a second ballot ‘was >vinced, although a number will prob- ably be taken tomorrow. Unusual activity is being displayed by all the candidates and their Meutenants, and many rumors of deals, withdrawals, new complications and radical changes in the situation are circulated. The members of the general assembly are growing restive. The prospect of a protracted struggle is par- ticularly repugnant to them, and the lead- ing candidates are doing all in their power to precipitate a stampede in their several directions. The Wellington men appear par- ticularly jubilant, and they assert that their leader will be elected by Monday at the latest. Up to today Phillip L. Goldsborough has been looked upon as Wellington’s residuary legatee, it being understood that the Con- gressman intended to aid the Goldsborough boom should he withdraw, but his support- ers now say that under no circumstances will they support Goldsborough, and it is understood that should Wellington leave the fight his faction will go to Wa@tcott. The activity manifested by Attorney Gen- eral Clabaugh, Controller-elect Graham and George R. Gaither tn Goldsborough’s behalf has occasioned Wellington's change of heart, and the Westcott men receive the prospect of a transfer to their standard with great satisfaction. The Goldsborough men are working like beavers to carry the general assembly by storm. ‘Through the efforts of Speaker Mudd, Dr. Washington Tuck and Charles T. West- cott an effort to stampede the joint as- sembly today for Goldsborough was frus- trated, but further efforts are anticipated. The appearance of Mr. Wm. Dixon, Mr. J. Kemp Bartlett and other prominent business men of Baltimore in the interest of Mr. Robert B. Dixon of Talbot county has started speculation as to Dixon's being the successful dark horse. Mr. Gary has written Senator Wilkinson, saying that he is not a candidate. ee POPE LEO NOT TO ARBITRATE. Cardinal Satolli Has Not Tendercd the Pontif’s Services. Cardinal Satolli has not tendered the services of Pope Leo as arbitrator in the !Venezuelan controversy, nor has the car- ginal received up to this time any intima- Uon that he will be called upon to offer the feTwices of the pope in that capacity. This ls the answer given at the residence of the Cardinal in response to inquiries as to the eport in the London Chronicle that the (Pope had taken this step through the iAmerican delegate. 2 Street Extension Casc. «, Juror Settle, one of the seven appraisers ‘Jn case 433, Ingleside subdivision, the sec- ond of the street extension cases heard, (tated to a Star reporter this afternoon t the jury would report their findings to judge Cox, in the District Court, tomorrow jorning. eS The Barbo: Estate.

Bill Resumed. jnflaencs’ of the Bond Issue on Loans by the Banks. The selection of Chicago as the “place of holding the democratic convention is not a complete victory for the anti-silver wing of the committee, but it is satisfactory to them and is a defeat for the silver men. How far this is significant, how far it may influence the course of the convention, is problematical. ‘The fight. began..with the determination on the part of the silver men that the convention should not go to New York, and on the part of the-gold men that it should not go to St. Louis. This made it probable from the start that Chicago would be selected. Several silver men voted for Chicago, however, so that the result is robbed of most’ of {ts sigttifitante:: When the condition was. imposed, by. the, commit- tee that the management of the conven- tion, distribution of tickets, etc., should be left entirely to the national committee, it was upon the assumption -that.the..conven- tion was to go to Chicago, and it was a re- flection on the condtct of that: city toward other conventions. _ No Enthusiasm Over the Result. It is remarked ¢hat there was ne enthusi- asm over the.result, but it is equally true that there,was none at any stage of the proceedings. It was- painfuHy evident throughout the meeting of the committee that they were entering into a hopeless fight for the presidency and-that the-real sig- nificance and importance of the action of the committee and of the convention to follow relates to the internal affairs of the party. Struggle te Fix the-Policy. The feeling is that at the convention the idea of preparing for a winning campaign for tke presidency will be. lost sight of in the struggle to fix the policy of the party, and that the convention will amount prac- tically to a national democratic caucus to determine its course for the future. The gold men have the first blood in the fight. At the convention the struggle will be desperate. The anti-silver men are de- termined to sacrifice every other consid- eration to secure the adoption of their policy. The silver men are equally in earn- est. It is not regarded as probable that the argument of expediency will have much weight, with either faction. If the general prospetts of party success were brighter roth sides might be disposed to be accom- modating, but under the existing circum- stances the end of the fight is felt to be merely the contrel of the party. organiza- ticn, and neither will be disposed to con- sider anything else. May Be n Split, That the convention will result in a split is regarded as not the least prebable thing. Men of sober judgment are discussing this Proposition, and the opinion is not infre- quently expressed that there will be an- other democratic convention follow! ing that at Chicago. There was a most unusual demonstration at the opening of the session of the House today. The blind ehaplain, whose ardent Americanism -has frequently . occasioned. remark, prayed fervently today for “strug- gling Cuba” and the‘“success of her bat- tle fer-independente?’, When he concluded the sentiments he had expressed were given a héarty“round of applause. = On motion of Mri ;Gamble.(S. D.) a bill was passed gr@nting to the city of Cham- berlin, S. D., thegright “to use’ American Istand, in the Sioux Indian reservation. The President's special message urging the ndvessity “H6r imniediate: tegislation: to” extend the limit time allowed the gov- ernment in Whteh3to bring ‘suits to’ annut grants of pubiie lids was-laid before @he House and referred to the committee on lands. ARGUMENTS OF THE DEFENSE GENERAL MARKET REPORTS The trial of Mr. Elverton R. Chapman, the alleged recalcitrant sugar trust wit-|° hers, was resumed today before Judge Cole in Criminal Court No. 1, by the submission of prayers to the court for special instruc- tions to the jury. District Attorney Birney exploded a sort of bombshell by asking of Judge Cole but one direction. It was to the effect that if the jury find that Mr. Chapman was law- fully summoned to appear before the Sen- ate investigating committee, that he did appear, was asked a question and refused to make answer, then a verdict of guilty. must be returned. “You mean, practically,” remarked Mr. Wilson, ‘that the jury be instructed to convict Mr. Chapman.” “It does look something like that,” re- plied Mr. Birney. “If it was not for a dictum of the Supreme Court of the United States in a case recently decided I would ask for a corviction in so many words. Every element to establish guilt under the ruling of the court yesterday has been ad- mitted by the defendant on the stand. All the material facts alleged in the indictment, in this case have been substantiated, and it is not plain to me why the jury should not be instructed to convict.” After denying that Mr. Chapman had ad-| mitted the facts, as alleged, the defense submitted over forty prayers, Mr. Wilson reading the list, and later arguing in sup- port of the same, laying particular em- phasis on the contention that it must be found that the defendant “‘willfully’’ re- fused to answer. It was also again pointed out that as the Senate took no action on the report of its investigating committee the questions asked by that committee were not pertinent. Mr. Birney, in reply, declared that it was rot necessary for the declination to an- swer to have been “willful” or “mali- cious.” “‘The statute provides that the mere doing of the act shall be punished,” he said, “and we have presented such proof, and therefore the prayers of the other side should not be considered.” Mr. Dittenhoefer, who followed Mr. Wil- sen, asked if Mr. Birney desired to go down in history as having corducted an opera bouffe for the past ten days. The proposi- tion of Mr. Birney he characterized as suf- ficient to put a-person out of temper. If the case included rot more than the facts now stated by the district attorney, con- tinued Mr. Dittenhoefer, the trial could have been concluded in three hours. After going over all the points set forth |. in the prayers in detail, Judge Cole grant- ed the single prayer asked by the district attorney, and refused all those desired by’ the defense. A number of other prayers were then submitted by the defense, but the court promptly refused to grant them, and a re- cess was taken in order to permit a con- sultation between Mr. Chapman's attor- neys before addressing the jury. A Four-Minute Address. After recess the defense announced that it had decided to address the jury, and there- upon Mr. Birney made the opening for the government. He quoted so much of the tes- timony of Mr. Chapman as@howed that the latter appeared before the Senate investi- gating committee and refused to answer the questions there put to him. Mr. Birney spoke but four minutes. Mr. Wilson, who opened for the defense, declared the matter at issue to be the most extraordinary ever before a jury, and then went on to review the facts in the case. Mr. Dittenhoefer, who followed Mr. Wilson, argued on the line that the prosecution has sought to make a common criminal of Mr. Chapman and throw him into jatl, when he has not willfully violated any law. The dis- trict attorney, according to Mr. Ditten- hcefer, depended solely on technicalities in Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, January 17.—Under cover of extreme dullness values receded frac- tionally from yesterday's level, and were barely steady at the decline. London's prices were uniformly lower, and no im- portant foreign business is reported. Fre- quent intervals of total inaction demon- strated the narrowness of the present stock market and emphasized the total ab- sence of incentive. In many instances current prices under- estimate “merit, but in the present sensitive condition of the money market immediate improvement is not likely. It 1s impossible to determine the probable number of individuals who will apply for the new government bonds, and bankers are consequently in doubt as to how much available money should be on hand on the date of the sale. As is usual, the doubt is met by a refusal to extend loans beyond the limit of actual necessity and a careful husbanding of funds. Money rates, how- ever, as yet do not reflect any embarrass- ment to the borrower, but this condition is largely due to the fact that the borrower has become as cautious as the lender. Money will be released, however, after the government terms have been complied with, and if an active demand should arise, as it certainly willif the new bonds are as popu- lar as they were meant to be, there is abundant evidence of the likelihood of its being promptly supplied. The time between now and the fifth day of February is the doubtful period, and stocks are not likely to be bought in large quantities by those using borrowed funds in settlement of the transaction The engagement of one million gold for export was announced during the day. Several houses which had intended to ship by tomorrow's steamers postponed the operation until next week, when a liberal outflow may be expected. The foreign ex- change market advanced slightly durin the day under a small volume of business. The anthracite coal interests will meet on Thursday next to consider the conditions of the trade, and to take such action as may be deemed advisable for the improvement of the same. In the present stagnant condi- tion of speculation the coal stocks are not likely to be influenced by the results of this meeting beyond fractional limits. The short interest in Manhittan was re- sponsible for an early gain of 1 per cent in the price of that stock, but renewed sell- ing at the advarce resulted in the loss of the entire gain. Realizing on the granger shares detracted scmewhat from the prices of those securi- t‘es, but sentiment is still partial to this group when ultimate results are considered. The industrial list was almost as dull as the remainder of the market, and pre- sented no new features. Several forces, Political, diplomatic and legal, are expect- ed to be employed as incentives to active speculation in this department in the near future. Sugar, for instance, is liable to have all these forces concentrated for or against its value. The last hour was dull and productive’ of no pew develepments. The market, while not likely to be ma- terially depressed, offers few inducements to the operator at present committed on neither side. ‘the whole for,‘ considers tion: of the pension appro} n bill. The general ’deWate on the bill closed yesterday and theibill was today open to amendment unger, the five-minute rule. Mr. Steeles Ameniiment. Mr. Steele (thd.J” offered’ an amendment in the shape .ef & proviso requiring the commissioner of pensions to make public all rules and regulations regarding the prosecution of cases in matters of evi- dence to conform to the rules of the courts and to give claimants and attorneys prose- cuting cases access to all documents and papers relating to the cases with which they were connected. Mr. Bartlett (N. ¥.) raised the point of order that the amendment changed exist- ing law. The chair sustained the point of order. More Points of Order. Mr. Herman (Ore.) offered an amendment, which was practically a per diem pension bill, that also went down under a point of order. Mr. Mahon (Pa.) offered an amend- ment declaring a pension to be a vested right, not to be suspended on charges of fraud until such charges had been proven in a-court of law...A point of order was reserved against-this amendment, which was temporarily passed over to allow. Mr. Bartleit to raise his point of order against the provision in the bill requiring a widow to prove that her “net income” does not exceed $500 before she can: receive a pen- sion under the act of 180. The present law requires that a widow under the act of 1890 shall prove that she is dependent on her daily labor for support. This was the clause in the bill against which Mr. Bartlett had been directing his assault throughout the week. The point of order was that it changed existing law. The point was sharply con- tested by several republicans. They corterded that the provisions of the bill simply construed the act of 1890 and did not change it. It interpreted the words in the law “without other means of sup- port” to-mcan not to exceed a net income of $500 a year Mr. Dockery 0.) touk the position, as a friend of the provision, that the chair should rot be embarrassed by be- ing forced to rule-on a very questionable point, but that the appeal of members should be directed to Mr. Bartlett to induce him to withdraw his point. See eee THE DEMOCRATIC DELEGATES. Hew Representatives From the Dis- triet Will Be Selected. The method of electing the six delegates hereafter to be chosen according to a res- olution of the national committee to rep- resent the District 1n democratic national conventions is naturally a matter of inter- ested speculation. Mr. James L. Norris said today that in all probability two would be chosen from the eastern part of Wash- ington, two from Georgetown and two from the main part of ithe city. Mr. Norris did not anticipate any friction from the in- crease of the number, but, on the con- trary, it seerned to him that there would be a happy division of honors in the new public The House ther z “went into committee of a DISTRICT GOVERSMEN Owing to the unusual number of com- plaints that have been received during the past few weeks of a scarcity of water in the higher parts of the city, the Commis- sioners have found it necessary to take some positive action looking to a remedy. After a conference upon the matter it was decided to appoint an--inspection force, whose duty it will be to visit every water taker in the city and inspect the water pipes. If It is found that there is an un- necessary waste the offending parties will be taken into court. The scarelty of water is due, the authori- ties believe, to the fact that many house- holders fearing the freezing of the water pipes have turned on the faucets full force and allowed the water to waste. This, of course, is not allowed, and any person found so offending will be punished. For some time past the regular Inspectors have been at work with their patent water- = FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, The following are the opening, the high- est and the lowest and the closing prices of the New York stock market today, as re- ported by Corson & Macartney, members New York stock exchange.

In sperking of the action of the national 73° ey committee to Increase the District repre- sentation at the convention, Mr. Lawrence Gardner ‘said ‘today that he thought it would be a good thing for the District to have six yotes in the national convention. It would Bive the District greater influence to have six votes than to have two, and if the territories were to be accorded such representation, because of their popula- tion, certainly ‘the District was eniitled to at least equal consideration. As to the local changes which the pro- posed increase would make, he said, that would remafm. to be seen, He had not given the matter any consideration, and he did not know a ¢hange was to be made until the action of the committee had been announced. —————+e+___. AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Tomorrow the Commissioners will inaugu- rate their system of inspection, and eight temporary inspectors will commence a thorough inspection of the city. The Dis- trict will be divided into districts, and each inspector will have charge of one of them. The reports will be made daily and when a case arises where summary action is needed, the proper authorities will swear out warrants, and the violators will be taken before the Police Court. There is no regular appropriation out of wich these inspectors can be paid, so the Com- missioners will be obliged to call upon the emergency fund for their compensation, believing that the exigencies of the case require such action. Short-Weight Coal Carts. The Commissioners: have instructed Maj. Moore to instruct the officers of the police Mr. Birney made no reply to the argu- ments of the defense, so Judge Cole there- upon charged the jury. The trial has occu- pied a long time, he said, but the question to be disposed of would not require any great amount of deliberation. The case, continued Judge Cole, is not at all extra-~ ordinary, for there have been hundreds of a similar nature. The instruction asked by Mr. Bigney was then read to the jury by Judge Cole. It would be a dangerous policy, significantly added the court, if any citizen should be permitted to decide, even upon the advice of counsel, whether or not a law enacted by Congress is erroneous.

The case of the Donnelly liquor license is being fought in earnest. Donnelly is an applicant for a wholesale Hquor license at the corner of 1ith and H streets northwest. The neighvors, or at least'a number of them, have joined in a protest against the place, and the excise board in deference thereto has held the license up pending an inquiry into the facts. It is claimed by the opposition that Donnelly is not. entitled to a license, being within 400 feet of a school, namely, the Emerson Institute. On the other hand, Mr. Donnelly claims that he was licensed prior.to the passage of the. law prohibiting the licensing of saloons within 400 feet of a school. It is here the opposition bases its case. The attorney, ng & I. Erie. wi nealing & L. Erie, Pfd Western Union Tel. Wisconsin Central.
