The President Will Not Submit the Papers in Relation to Appoint- ments — Dakotaians Charged With Being Bourhon Decoys. The Herald's Stomach Turned. WASHINGTON, Jan, 2h—[Special Tele- gram.]—The New York Herald, which has been the organ of the administration, and has given a full report each day of what was done at the white house, éven to the number of cups of tea the president drank and the number of people that called upon him, has Jumped the track, and now comes down on Cleveland. respondent, ealled upon the president and asked if he intended to send to the senate the information upon which he had sus- pended officials, This has been a lerald hohby. President Cleveland said he wounld not. Deseribing the interview the corre- spondent says: “lle has come to the conclu- sion that the constitution gives the senate no right of inquiry, and that he ought to stand upon his constitutional right, and. as he said 0 your correspondent, ‘hand down the presi- dential prerogatives unimpaired to his sue- cessor” Itis not many weeks ago that Mr, Cleveland got some cheap applause by the declaration that his administration was “living behind s doors,” This is supposed 10 be a government of the people, for the peo- ple. and every administration ought to ‘live behind glass doors.” Secrcey in publ s almost always means fraud, corruption, chi- canery and Intrigue. But it seems Clevo- land, soured by democratic, office-seeking senators, has determined to pull down the curtain, and cover his glass doors. He tells the Herald's Washington correspondent he will not make public the papers in relation to his dispensation of offices. e will mot give these papers to the open senate any more than to its secret sessions, and it wounld seem that he inclines to look with favor on the senate sooret sessions, We are sorty for Cleveland He had a good opportunity by the coat tails, Dbut his held has slipped.

Hle said that {here was a strong sym- pathy in congress for railrond companies that have constructed their lines by aid of land grants: that they bonded their roads and their grants, and therefore their lands have passed into the hands of innocent pur- chasers, so that the corporations would not be hurt by forieiture, but the purchasers of the lands would be. Mr. Payson predieted that the only lands of the Northern Pacitic which will be forfeited are those on the Pacific slope, where the road has not been built, and only the grants of the Atlantie Pacific east of Albuquerque (New Mexico) ‘would be forfeited.

The Crisis Hangs Fire. Loxpox, Jan. U.—[Sp Cablegram.]— This has been an interesting but disappoint- ing week. The English and Irish public alike looked to the queen’s speech and to the speeches of the conservative and liveral lead- ers in parliament for some relief to the pro- longed anxiety about Irish matters, ‘They get very little, The erisis hangs fire. Neither the tories nor liberals are satisfied with the course of affairs. What most contents the most people in England is what the queen says about home rule. The speech made in her name by the ministry definitely places the conservative party againstall attempts to disturb the existing legislative union between England and Preland. The minist 1 method of dealing with the other and more urgent part of the Irish question bears marks of a compromise between the differing see- tlons of the cabinet. The tone of the speech itself was thouzht firm, though known to have been moditied in consequence of Lord Randolph Churchill's remonstrances against the use of the word coercion. Lord Salisbury in the house of lords and Sir Michael Hicks- Beach in the commons disclosed modifica- tions much more important. The best kept secret of the ministerial pol- fey was the resotve to propose reform of pro- cedure in the conmons, and giye this reform precedence over all other business, Irish mat- ters included. The ministers allege as an or delaying Irish legislation the ne- of obtaining further information. apointiment as chief secretary for Ireland supplies plausible pretext for this delay. A new man must have time to decide ona new policy. The liberals retort, “Why, then, did you make the queen draw such a gloomy picture of the social condition of the country, about which you now profess not to know enough to be able to legislate?” There is no answer to that question. The tory mistake as a matter of tactles is obvious. They have wholly broken with the Parnell- ites. "They must, th , rely wholly for a majority on the liberals, who are opposed to home ruleand ready to grant the govern- ment the powers they consider needful for restoring law and order in [reland. But the ministry postpones the demand for these powers fora while, though eyery day’s delay weakens their case and gives time to restore unity in the liberal ranks. ‘The liberals for a moment seem to be with- out leadership. The ministry offered a dis- tinet challenge on home rule. Nobody takes itup. Probably it is a good party move to abstain. The ministry, if beaten, would ap- peal effectively to the country as the cham- pions of imperial unity. Nor could they probably be beaten in the commons on that issue. Nobody is willing to make the first move or show his hand. Gladstone’s speech was the speech of an adroit tactician, and committed him to nothing. He regained, while speaking, his old ascendancy over the house, and excelled himself in fervent appeals to a spirit of con- ciliation and justice. It is doubtful, never- theless, whether he has ot still further widened the breach in the liberal party. Everybody understood the speech as a bid for a Parnellite alliance. The Irish cheered him warmly throughout. His denial of the responsibility for home rule schemes convinced nobody. He did not deny his conversion to the prineiple of home rule. While his speech confirmed the uni- versal bellef in his desire to secure the I support by creating an Irish parliament tone was one of anxious deference to Irish opinion. Nothing marked it so strongiy as when he b8sought the Irish to forgive him for saying that he still w nllly supported Lord Spencer's administration, The Irish members not only for him. but warmly welcomed the new recruit. Parnell, with his usual dexterity, declared himself desirous to imitate Gladstone’s spirit, e said he believed betws them they could find a solution of the [rish problem. He sat down without giving asingle hint as to what scheme of home rule he was ready to propose oraccept. There matters stand, and seem likely to stand for the present, the leaders all round making time, Outside of parlinment nothing has so much influenced English opinion as the statements of theloyal Irish deputations to Lord Salis- bury, representing that commerce, industry and society were suffering grievously from the tyranny of the league, Gladstone’s refusal to these numer- ous and influential deputations was sign cant, Not less significant was the fact tl Lord Hartington did receive them. Many other topies, some of them important, oceupied the queen's speceh, but nothing diverts attention from Ireland, The queen’s presence at the opening of ‘parliament grati- fied the tories and set some liberals grumblng. ‘The reception on the outside was cordial, but groans were oceasionally heard, On the Watch for Dynamiters, LONDON, Jan. 23,—1The police authorities n making extraordinary precantions 1o guard against the possibilities of dynamite outrages.

Kansas City Shakés St. Louis and Pulls with the Western Metropolis. CuicaGo, Jan, 24.—{Special Telegram. |— The Kans lity delegation of business men who came tothe city a day or two ago to im- press upon the Southwestern Railway asso- ciation people the necessity of a reduction in rates from Kansas City to St. Louis and Chicago, had a meeting yesterday with the members of the Chicago board of trade and the Chicago freight bureau to pave the way for united action between Chicago and Kan- sas City business men in a movement to secure a reduction in’ rates from Missouri river points. The Kansas City men, when they first came here, were inclined to join hands with the St. Louis people, but the arguments made before tho meeting of the Southwestern Railway association showed them they were being used by the St. Louis people to pull their chestnuts out of the fire, and that the intercsts between Kansas City and Chicago were more identical than those between Kansas City and St. Louis, and, therefore, they mean to act in harmony with the Chicago people. “The proposition of the St. Louis people to base the rates from Missouri river points to St. Louis and Chicago upon the actual mile- age, they found would affect Kansas City in- terests moie cerfously than Chicago. That proposition, if carried out, would ~seriously affect Kansas City business, particularly as Is the southwestern Kansas trade, This is only one of the many nstances where freight would be diverted into different chan- nels were the St. Louis proposition adopted.

COAL BUSINESS DEMORALIZED. The Wheat Visible Mistrusted—-Rate for Sterling—Light Increase in In- quiry Will Send Gold Out by the Million—The Stock Market, The Week One of Waiting. NEw York, Jan, 24.—|Special Telegram. ] ~The week has made little change in the prospects of general trade. The severe weather and other eauses have tended to in- terfere with any great activity, and the situ- ation may best be deseribed as one of wait- ing. Insome departments of business, not- ably the dry goods interest, there is a continu- ation of the hopeful feeling regarding the volume of business and prices, while other trades—the iron producers being the most conspicuous example—are somewhat appre- hensive and give expressions caleulated to induce the belief that some of the late esti- mates of the boom in 1884 were unfounded. The steel rail situation is unchanged. Some purchasers openly assert that in - spite of the combination they could make contracts at §53 per ton; and further, that rails can bo bought for $30 per ton before long. In view of the amountof railroad construction in various parts of the country, this seems rather a risky vrediction. The anthracite coal business thorough state of demoralization. Prices arecut nghtand left, and noone seems to have the slightest contidence in the future. 1t, therefore, does not seem likely another pool can be formed, and there is every pros- pect that the demoralization of the eastern hard coal market will continue indefinitely. There is a general fecling there is a great dealin the discovery that interior milling points are obliged to fall back on the Chicago supply of wheat in order to supply their wants, The enormous visible supply has been harped npon so long that there appeared no escape from a further fall in wheat, It secms, however, to have dawned on the peo- ple’s minds that if such important milling centers ag Akron (Ohio) and other points cannot depend on the local supply, but have tohaul wheat from Toledo and Buffalo, there is something wrong with the visible supply business, and we will not have anything like the surplus stock for export which has been so much talked about. Atthe sametime the foreizn wheat ma kets are in a condition which does not wi rantany considerable advance in our prices. Rates for sterling exchange still hangata pointwhere the difference between buying bills and shipping gold to a large exchange house is only about $10 in $10,000. Under such circumstances it is not surprising that $500,000 in gold went out this, and more ex- pected to follow mnext week. The reduction of the Bank of England rate on Wedndsday last from 4 to 3 per cent does not affect our situation in the least. The fact® of the ex- change situation is, it only needs a slight in- in the Inguiry for exchange: im- ortérs to send out gold by the millioh, ’l‘he stoclommirket ts In a puzzling condi- tion. The oldest Wall street men hesitate to risk any predictions as to its cowmse. While there isa great deal of bearish feeling among the veterans, there is by no means any dis- position to sell stocks which are known to be strongly held. The news of the week is gen- erally bearish, but is nearly all of a charac- ter which might be reversed very quickly. Bull pools seem to be kept intact, and await only a slight change in circumstances to try for another advance. The street is consequently divided in opinion to a much greater extent than usual, and It was further noticeable there isa great irregularity in the relative situa- tion of the various stocks and ses of stocks.

New (inlxK Jan, 24.(Special Tele- gram.) —The Tribune bhis morning prints & story of A séhiational en- counter in an all-night chop house in Sixth avenue, known as the Silver Grill, much fre- quented by the young men about town, and the women of the town. The central figures were Fred May, who became known outside of Baltimore by his quarrel and duel with James Gordon Bennett; Barry Wall some- times called the “King of the Dudes,” and “Tift” Miller and his brother, friends of Wall. Walland the Millers were enjoying their oysters, when Fred May's burly forum appearea before them, ““I have been told by friends,” remarked May, gently. as he towered above the oyster caters, leaned slightly forward, and looked hard at “Tift” Miller, *“That you said the other night that T was a blanked liar, Is that s0? Tift Miller became more interested in his n ysters, but the other two men kept their on May. The latter repeated the ques- ||0ll, and Miller, without visible emotion, replied: “I don’t know whether I did or not. I really don't remember. Possibly 1 did. Perhaps you have been misinformed. Lreally don't know what I said.” After some more words between the two men, Miller, who is a small, handsome young man said: Con are a botter man than 1 am; [ know that very well, and L don’t nt any quarrel with you. T ecan’t fight with you and 1 don’t want to. You could make short work with me, I have no doubt. Repressing outward appearances of anger, May at last made Miller admit he might have called him a liar. Then he toyed a moment with his glove, and suddenly exclaimed fiercely, “'thake that thien, and that.” Ie slapped Miller's pink and white cheek thrice with his glove. Mlller said nothing, but looked down and seemed to shrink into him- self under the blows that werelight in weight but heavy in the dignity that was meant by the big man who inflicted them, “There ismy glove, sir,” exclaimed May ou can (lu \\h:\l you «hooiv nboul it. You Name An Al yoar own conditions.” Then a garrulous table remarke , Fred May, society crossed you off the list long ago. Nobody cares about your glo May walked away from the table for a few minutes, talked and laughed with friends at the bar, and finally returned to the three men, and said: “Well, Mr., Miller, I'shall hear from you to-morrow.” Miller replied that he might and he might not, but probably would not, and intimated that he did not care to have any further deal- ings with May. The men then separated, Trouble Is expected, as it is thought May will not let it drop. e ——— FRUITS OF THE SI‘OI!M. Terrible Fatalities from Colorado Snow Slides.
