Cowen has been at the head of Baltimore and Ohio af- fairs for several weeks, it may be said that the actual work of the new management will only be entered upon tomorrow, when Vice President Oscar G. Murray, formerly of the Big Four, will enter upon his duties. Vice President Murray is,,it is said, to have absolute control of the traffic depart- ment of the road, and his authority will also extend over the Baltimore and Ohio South- western railway. Ex-Vice President Smith, whom Mr. Murray succeeds, has already entered upon his duties as the representa- tive of the Baltimore and Ohio in the trunk line pool at New York. Mr. Murray, it is understood, intends to make many changes, which, in time, will amount to a complete reorgauization of the road. The position of general passenger traffic mamn- ager is to be created, and General Passen- ger Agent Charlies O. Scull will, it is stated, be promoted to the higher office. It has al- so, it is understood, been determined that Mr. Frank Harriott, who has been freight traffic manager for many years, will be re- tained. There is considerable talk in railroad cir- cles about the selection of a general coun- sel to succeed Mr. Cowen. The office will be given either to Mr. E. J. D. Cross or Mr. Hugh L. Bond, who, some time ago, was appointed the company’s general attorney. —_——_+_—_ At the Metropolitan Club in New York last night 2 dimmer was given in honor of the trustees of the New York Library and Dr. John Shaw Billings, the lately appointed I- Vice A ST FREE SILVER. House Recommendation to Non-Con- cur in the Senate Amendment. After ten days’ debate, the House yes- terday afternoon, by a vote of $0 to 190, In committee of the whole, rejected the Senate free coinage amendment to the bond bill,and reported the bill to the House, with a recom- mendation to non-concur and insist on the Heuse bill. The strength developed by the silver men was disappointing. They had been confidently claiming over 100 votes. Propositions were offered during the day to concur with amendments as follows: To coin the American silver product, for the re- tention of the seigniorage by the govern- ment, and to open the mints to the free coin- age of silver at the ratio of 15% to 1, when Germany and France should have agreed upon similar action. All were defeated by large majorities. The last proposition, offered by Mr. Towne of Minnesota, mus- tered fifty-three votes, the highest number of any. Mr. Towne had stated to the House that similar propositions would be submit- ted to the reichstag and the French parlia- ment at the present sessions. The most significant statement yesterday came in the form of an intimation from Mr. Dingley that a bill might be reported from the ways and means committee looking to the initiation by this country of a project for another international monetary confer- ence, to meet within a year. While Mr. Ding- ley sald he was simply expressing his per- sonal position in the matter, it was gen- erally understood,from the manner in which he said it, that the suggestion had already | matured into a well-defined intention on the part of the republican leaders of the House. ——_—+ 2+ _____ The Chemieal Society. The Chemical Society of Washington held a social meeting last evening at the rooms of the Down Town Club. This departure from the ordinary meetings of the society was to inaugurate their new President, Dr. EB. A. de Schweinits. About thirty-five members were present, and a coilation was served. Speeches were made by Dr. de Schweinitz, 3 Bolton, Prof. Dr. Wiley, Prof, F. W. Clarke, Prof. Mau- roe, Dr. Cameron and others. ABCUT NANSEN'S ATTEMPT|THE WORLD OF SOCIETY [Yano eee Gardiaor G, Hythard Talks of the Report From Siberia. Lieut. Peary! Expresses His Doubt— Judge Dgfe and Others In- ee * elined to Be Skeptical. Mr. Gardiner °G. Hubbard, president of the National Gedgraphic Society, was asked today by a reporter for The Star !f he thought the arctic explorer Nansen had reached the north pole, as the dispatches yesterday appeared to indicate. “I do not think he could have possibly done that,” said Mr. Hubbard, “but he has probably been heard from. The news came from a ‘remote part of Siberia, from two men who were employed by Nansen, and it wouldn't be probable that it would have been ‘sent abroad if nothing had been heard from the explorer. It is probable that Nansen simply floated out and then floated back again.” The reported discovery by Dr. Nansen of the north pole, telegraphed to yesterday's Star, is mueh discussed in the press, and the general opinion seems to be somewhat skeptical, without denying the possibility of the truth of the report. But this report is held to at least indi- cate that Dr. Nansen is safe and is re- turning. The English Royal Geographical Society's officiais consider it strange that they should have received no word, as Dr. Nansen promised that the society should have the very first news, und they have as yet received nothing. ‘The news which was telegraphed from Irkutsk, Siberia, was received there from Ust Yacht, at the mouth of the Yana river. The Yana river falls into the Arctic ocean by several mouths in latitude 70 degrees north and longitude 137 degrees east of Greenwich. Ust_ Yacht or Ust Yansk is one of these. In fact, Ust or Oost is the Russian name for the mouth of a river. Ust Yansk is only a little more than a hundred miles from Liakovis- land, which is one of the New Siberian Islands. The mouth of the Yana is con- siderably over a hundred miles east of the Lena delta. The ill cd Jeannette was crushed in the ice in legrees 15 minutes north lati- tude and 155 degrees east longitude, June i3, 1881. This point is to the northeast of the New Siberian Islands. ‘Those of the expedition who reached land came 500 miles in boats and sleds to do it. ‘Their point of arrival was west and north of Ust Yansk. Lieut. Perry Expresses Doubt. When a Herald reporter saw Lieut. Peary last night in New York, and asked him whether, in his judgment, any reliance was to be placed on the report that Dr. Nansen had reached the north pole and is now re- turning, he promptly replied that what, with the meagerness of the dispatch, the locality from which the news comes and the season, it did not seem to him as like- ly to be authentic. Dr. Nansen, if his theory in regard lo the current be correct, Mr. Peary said, would not be likely to ever get back in that direc- tion. He expected to cross the pole and to me out somewhere on the east coast of Greenland. “The most probable report was that which appearedin September last, which said that a ship ‘supposed to be the Fram had been seen in the ice off the eas! coast of Greenland. Jf that report was true, and if the ship seen then was Nansen’s, we will probably not get any news from him until next summer. As to the drift theory, I have no opinion to express, as I have hecn 0 much preoccupied with my own methods that I have not given consideration to the theories of other explorers. If Nansen, or any ot his party, was where it is said he was, why did not the message come direct from him? Napsen is certainly a very plucky explorer.” Thinks the News Not Probable. Ex-Judge Charles P. Daly, the president of the American Geographical Society, in discussing thé dispatch respecting the re- ported outcome of Dr. Nansen’s expedition in search of the north pole, said: “That is very startling news, and, if true, is the most important discovery that has been made in ages. It is possible that it is true, but It is not probable, It is most singular that the news should come from Irkutsk, and I shall wait for further in- formation before I accept it asa fact. Yet I have always felt that’ the north pole would be discovered some day, and Dr. Nansen is well calculated to make the dis- covery. What inclines me to doubt the truth of the dispatch is my belief that we should have had the first news of Nansen from Cape North er Hammerfest.” George C. Hurlbut, the librarian of the American Geographical Society, said: “What makes me doubt the truth of the story is that it is too early to hear from Dr. Nansen. He himself expected to be away for five years, and he has not been absent three years, and yet the dispatch reports him on his way back.” Lieut. Brainard’s Disbelief. Dr. Nansen, according to Lieut. D, L. Brainard, United States army, who accom- panied the Greely expedition, “seems to have disregarded, or, at all events, taken his chances on one important factor, the baffling and uncertain nature of the cur- rent flow, about which nothing is definitely known. I believe that not only will the Nansen expedition prove a failure, but that it will end in disaster. I think it doubtful whether Dr. Nansen will ever be heard from. I think that he has had too little experience to cope with the difficulties he will inevitably encounter, and especially with the ice.” A TARIFF SETBAC The Senate Declines to Take Up the House Bill. The result of the effort made by Senator Morrill yesterday afternoon to take up the; tariff bill, after t > urgent deficiency biil had been disposed of hy the Senate, proved something of a surpr.so, and produced a mild sensation, which grew rathet than di- minished during the remainder of the day. While Senator Morrill had never acquiesced in the proposition, it had come to be gen- erally understood that he would not press his request until the appropriations bills should be disposed of. It was also the gen- eral understanding that the democrats and the other opponents of the tariff bill would not oppose the consideration of that meas- ure when an effort should be made to take it up. The vote had scarcely been announced when a story was started that the result was an indication of the means that the combination of the anti-tariff and pro-silver men intended to employ to defeat the bi ard admissions made by some of the more pronounced silyer republicans who voted against consideration of the populists gave color to this ruiner. ‘hey said that the re- sult meant that.there must either be an agreement to couple silver with the tariff and allow the bilf to pass in that shape or submit to having any proposition for the consideration of the bill defeated in the fu- ture. Some of the more cautious and con- servative Senators, whose votes were recorded in the negative, refused to commit themselves to thts statement, and they as- serted that there would be no objection to the consideration of the tariff bill “at the proper time.” They added that it would have been discoufteous to displace the Cu- ban resolution, which had been made the unfinished business by unanimous consent, which would have been the result of ac- cepting Mr. Morgjil’s proposition. The vote created more or less feeling, and the extreme tariff advocates were inclined to accept the explanation that a combina- tion had been formed by this means to de- feat the bil, a result which both those of the democrats who oppose both the tariff bill and the silver substitute and the silver men of all parties are anxious to accom- plish. They argue that this is the only stage of the bill upon which a solid democratic vote could be secured, and that the methods adopted today is the only course open to the stiver men to prevent adverse action by the Senate on silver. Senator Platt of the finance committee accepted the result as final. It means,” he ie indefinite pestponement of the tariff bill,” and added, “tt also means the end of the silver agita- tion in this country.” Whatever the real cause of yesterday's ceedings, there is no doubt that the bill Teceived a very decided set-back, and it is impossible to now say when it can be taken up.
