Me Will E lenvor to Shift the Re- sponsibility of Insufficient Revenue From His Shoulders. The withdrawals of gold from the treas- ury have not as yet amounted to enough to be a positive menace. The tide having set in that direction at this time, however, though it is not strorg, there exists an ap- prehension that it may grow in force. If there Is anything like a steady increase in the amount of withdrawals it is expected that Mr. Cleveland will make another ef- fort to s eck No Legislation From This Congress, It is obvious that no such legislation can ured from this Congress, but this was pparent when M Cleveland sent age to Congress which stopped the holiday r- s adjournment. In dealing with a hostile Congress (or one unable to act) Mr. Cleveland's aim appears to be to sponsibility upon the leg! ative body with any emergency. Con- irly eady to adjourn. If it vd or the lth of June, as is thought likely it will, there will be a long stretch, between then and the first gre: adjourns on the no Monday in December, during which the executive will have to act upon his own re- sponsibility should the conditions of last fall be renewed. Mi over, during the agitation of a political campaign, when a new par it not the democratic party, will dec silver 16 to 1, the uneasiness in business cireles is expected to become manifest, even if it is for nothing more than specu- lative purposes. ‘The administration people have been con- sidering for some tims the probability of such a situation developing after the ad- journment of Congress, and the exporta- tion of gold which h: is regarded as indication of a pos: raid on the treasury this summe Mr. Cleveland Will An ipate This. It is said that Mr. Cleveland will an- ticipate this if the indications become more prenouneed. It is a matter of debate whether it would be better, from a politi- eal point of view, for him to warn Con- gress before adjournment of the danger to the gold reserve of having it unpro- tected during the long recess, or to wait until the situation feared shall develop and then to call a special session to deal with that one subject. It seems to be a question which method would emphasize more positively the inability of Congress to deal with the financial situation. If another bond sale should become neces- sary ‘before the November elections Mr. Cleveland wants to give the country to un- derstand that he has done all in his power to guard against it. Whether the public blame the republican party for the failure of remedial legislation or lay the blame on the silver men is a matter of more or less indifference to him if he can shift the responsibility from his own shoulders and cenceal the part the lack of revenue plays in the depletion of the treasury. He is satisfied, from the attitude of the silver men in the Senate, that there is no danger of his being called on to act upon a tariff Lill, and it cannot be said that he has re- fused any form of relief, but that, on the centrary, no sort of relief was offered. Won't Wait for an Extra Session. ‘The opinion is expressed by some of Mr. Cleveland's friends that he will not wait for the occasion to call an extra session in the summer, but will send a message to. Congress just on the eve of adjournment, after both houses have adopted an adjourn- ment resolution, insisting that they shall afford some relief to the treasury before seing to their homes. He is not expected to name any particular form of relief, thus leaving the impression that he would ac- cept most anything. Personal Mention. Capt. C. M. Rockefeller, ninth infantry, is in the city on a visit. Lieut. Wm. H. Driggs of the Columbia is at the Cairo on leave of absence. Mr. Marshall Field of Chicago was among the President's yisitors today. rived in the City. AMOUNT ON HAND The next military statue to he erected in this city will be that of Gen. William Te- cumseh Sherman, the hero of the famous “march to the sea." Arrangements to that <nd are now in a fair state of pro- gress. Ample funds are available for the purpose, and a site has been already se- lected fer the statue. What remains to be done ts the selection of a design and the construction and erection of the statue. The arrangements for the erection of the proposed statue are In the hands of a gen- eral committee, consisting of the Secretary of War, the major general commanding the army and a committee of the Society of the Army of the Tennessee, composed of Gen. G. M. Dodge of New York, presiden’ Col. J. F. Howe of St. Louis, treasur Gen. J. W. Noble of St. Louis, Col. D. Henderson of Dubuque. Towa: tus Jacobson of Chicago and Col. Cornelius Cadle of Cincinnati. Congress appropriated $80,000 for the statue, and the Society of the Army of the uted $16,000) more. De- for award veling and other necessary expens um of 300,000 Is now available for the entire work, including excay and equest tion, jan statue. foundation, pedestal Clreulars to Sculptors. Several months ago the committee of the Society of the Army of the Cumberland sent circular letters to all the pri pal sculptors in the United States, inviting their partietpation in a competition of de- signs for the proposed statue. Each de- sign wes to be shown In an accurate and elaborate model, including both pedestal and statue, on a scale of one inch to or foot. It was annour.ced that the contract for the work would be awarded to the ar- ist “whose design is deemed best, provided is considered satisfactory." It was also provided that the sum ef $14"0 each would be paid “to the arti thmitting the next four de: deemed satisfactory for s important rk, but whose models hav not heen w comy ulptor: eit $ ul artist will be required to ed statue in the United & s0, all the stone work and bro! ng must t tricted to ar in this countr and ad, and the rod Twenty-five de @ rer thi and the mui up » top corridor of artim anuary, when ions were to have been made.

Sherman or really grasp- ed the individuality of the man. The therefore selected four of the best mode! with a view of further elaboration, under the direction of the committee, for future competition, the three finally unsuccessful to receive $1,000 each for merit and each for the additional labor. he four designs selected for further elaboration were those submitted by Py Bartlett of Pari: Massey Rhind of N York, Carl Rohl Smith of Chicago, and Ch. . H. Niehaus of New York. Their medels were to be elaborated on a scale of two inches to the foot. An award of #1, given to H. K. Bush Brown of New Yor for his design, but it was not regarded sufficiently meritorious to enter the fin competition. An arrangement was made at the time of this action that the elaborated models should be ready for the Inspection of the Sherman statue committee in this city on the 15th instant. As In the case of the original competition, Col. J. M. Wilson, in charge of public buildings and grounds, will assist the committee in the Prosecution of their work. He superintended the ‘setting up" of all the models in the first competition, and he will perform the same service in the coming final competition. The corridors of the War Department, heing too small to per- mit a proper display of the enlarged models, he has rented the building 1704 G street tem- porarily for that purpose. Three of the models have already arrived, and the artists and their assistants are busily engaged in putting them in position, and adding the finishing touches. The building has all the romance and reality of an artist’s studio for the time being, and presented a scene of unusual bustle and a tivity when visited by a Star reporter toda. ‘The three models on the ground are those of Mr. Bartlett, Mr. Rhind and Mr. Smith. Mr. Niehaus’ model has been completed in New York, and will probably be shipped here tomorrow. Gen. Miles of the statue committee is in the city, but Secretary Lamont and G 5 Dodge, the latter representing the Society of the Army of the Cumberland, are not expected to reach here before Monday next. They will have a difficult task in choosing among the four models the one best suited to perpetuate in granite and bronze the “hero of Atlanta.” . The Site Selected. The site selected for the Sherman statue is officially described as follows: That por- tion of the grounds south of the Treasury Department, and bounded as foliows: On the north by the-street immediately south of the Treasury Department; on the east by 15th street; on the south by D street extended, and on the west by the gravel read around the ellipse and the south grounds of the Executive Mansion. A small frame building used by the Treasury Department as a photographic gallery now occupies a portion of the site selected, and it will have to be torn down and removed. ——-e—_____ THE McKINLEY BILL. 18 K How an Effort May Be Made~to Seeure Its Re-Enactment.

It is generally believed that they have carried cff first prize and the Galveston cup, and the announcement of the judges tomorro evening is expected to show one of the largest percentages ever made by a com- pany in an interstate drill.

They wore black hlouses and white duck tro and the wildest enthusiasm prevailed among the spectators from the moment of entrance until the conclusion of the drill, Not the semblance of an error could be discovered in the drill of the Mortons, and it soon beeame apparent that the Ogle- thorpes had omitted at least a dozen move- ments. The ‘program opened with the formation of the company, followed by maneuvers in quick and double time. There was firing standing, kneeling and 1; down, and when that line of immac white trousers fell prone in the dus prised “Oh!” arose from the grand stand In the firings the Mortons used blank car tridges, and every rfle went off one piece, the effect being beautiful. The Ogle- thorpes merely snapped the hammers. of their rifies. y movement of the Mor- tons was vastly superior to that of th competitor, and the spectators were backward in attesting their appreciation of that fact.

The exercises at the drill ground yester- day afternoon were of a very interesting character. A competitive battalion drill between the Citadel Cacets and the Barnes- ville Cadets attracted an immense audience and the eahibition was really excellent. A regimental dress parade followed, in which three battalions participated. ‘The first, consisting of the Morton Cadets, the Ugie- thorpe Infantry and the Aurora Zouaves, was commanded by Capt. Shilling as ma. Jor, Lieut. Robinson of the Mortons, adju- tant, and Berst. Brant, also of the Mortons, as sergeant major. In passir gin review the Mortons received all the applause. Later the company ‘gave an exhibition drill, which, as usual, created great enthuslasm. The company retired early in preparation for the contest toda Th2 exercises opened with an exhibiti drill in extended order and the bayonet ex ercise by the battalion of Citad@l Cadets, and then followed the big drill. The most interesting event of the week from the standpoint of the crdinary spectator will he the big street parade at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon. There will participate five com- panies of the first regiment, four companies of the first battalion of infantry, the Geor- gia Hussars, the Chatham Artillery, the Savannah Naval Reserves, the Brunswick Naval Reserves, the Morton Cadets, the Oglethorpe Infantry and the three compa- ries of the Citadel Cadets, two companies of the Barnesville Cadets, the Aurora Zou- aves, the Indiarapolis Light Artillery, the Liberty Independent Trcop, the Liberty Guards, the Mount Pleasant Field Band, the fourth brigade band of Charleston and the first regimental band of Savannah.
