Decision on the Merits of the Two Buildings Made on the Question of Accommodations, CHICAGO, Irv.. Feb. 1.—The next Democratic nominee for the Presidency wijl be named in the Colliseum at Sixty- third street and Jackson Park. This was the aecision of the sub-committee of the National Democratic Committee this even- ing after an executiye session of over four hours, and it means that an audiencé of not less than 15,000 will be afforded an op- portunity of greeting with acclaim the name of the successful candidate. It was also decided to locate the head- quarters of the National Committee at the Palmer House. There was an informal discussion on the appointment of a ser- geant-at-arms, the only names mentioned being John 8. Cooper, president of the Cook County Democracy, and Elijah Brooks of Indiana. It was agreed, how- ever, that no definite selcction should be made until the next meeting of the sub- committee, which will be held in this city upon & future date to be selected by Na- tional Chairman Harrity. The members of the committee spent the morning in an ingpection of the Col- liseum, which is still in course of construc- tion, but under contract to be completed by May 1, and of Tattersall’s, the only other auditorium that has been submitted for its consideration. No attempt was made by the local committee toinfluence the National ccmmitteemen in reaching & conclusion between the two buildings. ‘When the party was atthe Colliseum there wag some hesitdncy in expressing a favor- able opinion on account of its distance from the center of the city, while fears Wwere expressed that the close proximity of the main line of the Illinois Central, the tracks of which are alsoused by the Michi- gan Central, and other roads, might tend to create a din that would be embarrassing toorators or interfere with the rolicalls. Tbe committeemen were assured, how- ever, that the railroad officials would put @ veto on the tooting. of cpgine whistles in the vicinity. and that the noise of the running {rains would not penetrate within the structure. - In some particulars the sub-committee- men weré favorably impressed with Tat- tersall’s. but there were strong doubts as | children.

It was ad- mitted by the engineers of the structure that not more than 7500 people could be seated on the ground floor, but it was claimed that safe galleries could be erected in which an equal number might be ac- commodated. When the committee went into execu- tive session, extra blue prints of the inte- rior of Tattersall’s under the proposed ar- rangement were sent for, and it looked for a while as though the Colliseum was in disfavor. The decision hinged solely on the ques- tion of accommodations, and, after the matter had been thoroughly canvassed and representatiyes of both structures called in to explain dispuged points, it was decided by a unanimous vote to accept the offer of the Colliseum. In announcing this action to President Dickinson of the company owning the structure, Chairman Harrity stated ex- plicitly that the committee had decided to require seating accommodations for 15,000 people. The Colliseum people had pre- viously shown that the interior of their structure could be so arranged as to pro- vide for 20,000 without crowding, but the committee was of the opinion that 15,000 was the safest figure as a maximum. e iEsns SENATOR CULLOM WILLING. Ready for the Presidential Nomination if 1t Is Tendered. CHICAGO, ILL., Feb. 1.—Senator Shelby M. Cullom departed for Washington this evening, and left behind an understanding with the Republican-party leaders in Cook County as to kis position as a Presidential candidate. He told all whom he conferred with that he would ‘‘be pleased to have the support of the Illinois delegation in the coavention,” which admission is consid- ered by the.party men as a declaration of a “receptive candidate,”’ such as Benjamin Harrisou is said to be by his friends. Senator Cullom intimated to his party associates that he disapproved of ‘any statesman seeking the Presidential nomi- nation, and preferred not to publicly an- nounce himself as a candidate for the honor.. Prominent Republicans’ did not speak enthusiastically of the senior Sena- tor as a Presidential possibility, but re- garded him as the foremost Republican from Illinois in public life and, naturally, the favorite son, who would be a good card for the Illinois delegation to hold up their sleeves to play as a contingency. — BROTHER ERWIN DEWANDS A SHARE Objects to the Compromise Settlement Made in the Vast Estate of A. J. Davis. CHICAGO, ILv.; Feb. 1L.—A bill was filed in the Federal Court here this morning by Erwin Davisof New York, a brother.of A.J. Davis, the multi-millionaire whose fortune has been contested for in the courts of Montana several years on account of the will, which it was alleged was a forgery. Last March the children of John ‘A. Davis, a brother of the deceased, agreed to a com- promise settlefnent with their combative cousins and other relatives who contested’ the will, and a.division of the vast estate was decreed by the court. John A. Davis bad died during the litigation. Now Erwin, another brother, attacks the compromise, which Ieft bim and his brother Calvin and his sisters out of the settlement, He exhibits a4 copy of an agreement sigiied by all the brothers and sisters of the deceased that balf of the money received should be given to Erwin in consideration of his fnrnilhing‘ the money to fight the claims of Mrs. Bagett's COMPLICATIONS INTHE TRANSVAAL, An American Consul to Be Sent to the Cape Town Vacancy. MR. OLNEY IS RETICENT. | The Secretary Will Not Speak of Independent Actioh in Behalf of Hammond. KNIGHT NOW AFTER MANYON. Violated Consular Regulations in Cabling Direct to the State Department. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 1.—In view of the complications in the Transvaal arising out of the arrest of American citi- zens there, the President will soon appoint a Consul at Cape Town to fill the vacancy there, which has existed since Charles H. Benedict of Minnesota died some months ago. The present Vice-Consul and Acting Consul, Mr. Knight, is an Englishman, born in the colony. President Cleveland and Secretary Olney. have the matter of the appointment of a Consul under consideration, and may be expected to.decide very soon. Secretary Olney declined to say any- thing to-day.about the news from Johan- nesburg that he had cabled a declaration to the effect that the United States would act independently of England in seeking a settlement in the case 6f Hammond and the other Americans arrested. Whether or not Mr. Olney has sent such a dispatch he will undoubtedly adhere to that posi. tion which has been the consistent policy of the administration. 8 Becretary Olney also declined to be seen with reference to the statement that Vice- Consul Knight of Cape Town had threat- ened to suspend Mr. Manyon, our con- sular agent at Johannesburg, for com- municating directly with Secretary Olney instead of through Mr. Knight, his imme- diate superior. As a8 matter of fact, Mr. Monyon did violate a consular regulation in cabling directly to Secretary Olney, but he bad the excuse that Mr. Olney, who has little regard for red tape, sent him di- rectly a cable that did not pass through Mr. Kniihr‘a hands. Mr. Manyon is a na- tive of New York, though he was a ;oinud consular agent as a resident of outh Africa. CHICAGO WHEAT ADVANCES. Considerable Excitement Among Specus 3 tators in the Pit. CHICAGO, ItL., Feb. L.—Another ex- cited and upgrade wheat market was ad-- ded to-day to the lict of those which have made trading sensational during the last two weeks. The price started witha jump of 13{ cents and at the end of the session a rise of 21/ cents had been recorded for the day. The opening of the market was a surprise to the trade and set the pitina ferment. Yesterday the closing price wus 65 for May and- when business began to- day a wild shout went up for it at 664 cents to 66)¢ cents. The ostensible reason for the unexpected advance was Liverpool sending quotations.showing a big advance in the face of a decline for the day before. Armour was a heavy open seller, both on the first and second advance, the market receding in forty minutes to 6615 cents be- fore it took a whirl again to 67. ¥ ‘Two Resolutions Reported by the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Adopted by a Strict Party Vete, With the Exception of Newlands of Nevada. WASHINGTON. D. C., Feb. 1.—A reso- lation censuring Embassador Bayard for the sentiments expressed by him in his recent English speeches was. adopted by the House Foreign Affairs Committee this atternoon. Two resolutions were re- ported. The first censures Mr. Bayard by name for the language used by him in his Bos- ton and Edinburgh speeches, and incorpo- rated with this will be a second resolution expressing the disapproval of the com- mittee of .our representatives abroad dis- cussing American political affairs and dis- playing partisanship and the condemna- tion of political parties or other reputable organizations-of American citizens. This conclusion was not reached until the entire subject of Mr. Bayard’s alleged indiscretions had been fully discussed by the committee. The discussion was pre- cipitated by the-calling up by Cbairman Hitt of the foregoing resolutions, which were prepared respectively by Pearson of North Carolina and Cousins of Iowa. Party lines were at once strictly drawn, the Democrats opposing the cen: ~-e of Em- bassador Bayard, while the Republicans insisted that bis offense desérved a rebuke from the American Congress. McCreary, of Kentucky and Money of Mississippi championed Mr. Bayard’s cause. The Democratic leaders refused to agree to any proposition which might re- tlect upon our Embassador at London, whereupon the Republicans decided that the two resolutions above referred to should be agreed to. B - The resolutions were adopted by a strict party vote, with the exception that New- lands of Nevada, a ‘representative of the silver party, joined the "Republicans, while the Democrats unanimously opposed them. All the members of the committee were present except Draper (R.) of Massa- chusetts. i Chairman Hitt' will present the resolu- tions with a majority report to the Rouse on Monday. - A report embodying the views of the minority will probably be submitted by Dinsmore of Arkansas. Chairman Hitt declines to make public the text of the resolutions. The preamble of the first resolution re- cites the language used in both speeches, and condemns Embassador Bayard for its use. The tenor of the second resolution does not differ from that outlined above. 1t is said to take tbe form of a rule of con- duct for embassadors and other represen- tatives abroad, reaffirming in stronger language the rules in vogue at the State | Department during the period that ‘Mr. Bayard filled the office of Secretary. UNREST I8 THE GERMAN CABINET, |Rumors Continue to Float CENSUREFO M, YR of Resignations of . Ministers. THE CRISIS POSTPONED. But There Is a Prospect of Further Trouble in Increasing Credits for the Navy. HONOR TO THE LATE DIPLOMAT Emperor William Sent a Big Army Detail to Embassador Runyon’s Funeral. BERLIN, GERMANY, Feb. 1.—The rumors which have been in circulation here of the impending resignation of Prince von Ho- henlohe, the Imperial Chancellor; Herr von Boetticher, Minister of the Imperial Home Office and representative of the Chancellor, and Herr Hollman, the head of the Imperial Admiralty, have been traced to journalists who claim connection with high official sources of information. The rumors, of course, created a great stir until they were semi-officially denied, when the interest they had awakened sub- sided. If there is mothing behind tbese reports the Government officials have had themselves to blame for the circulation in choosing as mediums of spreading in- formation upon previous occasions men whom they are now obliged to repudiate. In spite of these officially inspired denials, however, some responsible news- papers persist in the -assertion that a ministerial crisis is merely pestponed. In support of this contention the Neue Nachrichten recalls the circumstances that the late Chancellor, General von Caprivi, upon the eve of his dismissal from office recgived orders from the Emperor to assure the Ministers of the several federal states that the then currert stories oi a Ministerial crisis, were positively without foundation. Nevertheless General Caprivi was relieved within a very few days there- after. - The Hanover Courier insists thata crisis is latent, the Emperor persisting in his notion of asking the Reichstag for a large increase of naval credits for the construc- ‘tion of additional warships, etc., which Prince Hohenlohe has declared to be impossible. oy Within the ministerial circle, Prince Hohenlohe is credited with haying taken a more hopeful view regarding the voting of ‘increased navai credits by the Reich- stag, assuming that be is able to manage a coalition of the Conservatives and Agra- ians or the National Liberals and Agra- rians. The chief difficulty in’ the way of such a combination, however, is - the fact that ninfe the defepl,z ‘gl the,j n‘xziu‘p:li)n mono) roposal the majority in the Reiemp?nz if bi{&rly bostile to tge Minis- ters. 4 The Government' is now endeavoring to | Minister of Agriculture, following his reconcile the situation, and has chosen the | Unterhaus as the scene of its first ap- | proaches to an entente. Herren Heyde- | brandt and Strachtwitz, Agrarian mem- | bers of the Unterhaus, having declared that Count Kanitz’s proposal had taken second place, the monetary question com- ing first. Herron von Puttkamer and Plauth, Conservatives, next dectared that such a decision in regard to the legislative programme ought in no wise to separate a party from the Government. Then Baron von Hammerstein-Loxlen, cue, assured the Agrarians that the Gov- ernment was in no respect hostile to them. Chancellor Hohenlohe watched his best chance for a deal in furtherance of the Government’s monetary scheme for naval purposes, and seized the opportunity to say that he had always regarded the Agrarians as the proper representatives of the agricultural interests ot the country, and more in the'same vein. A further ex- change of courtesies of this character fol- lowed, and the whole proceeding is held in ministerial circles to corroborate their | contention that a project is on foot looking | to a coalition with a view" of securing the | desired navy credits. | The public are clearly indifferent to the | matter of constructing new warships. as t evidenced by the fact that the movement | in favor of calling for a large public sub- | seription for the purpose of building | cruisers has collapsed, the total sum col- lected in weeks having been insufficient to | pay the expenses of therequired agitation. | Dr. Stoecker, formerly court chaplain, has resigned his membership in the Con- servative party owing to the opposition caused by his refusal to declare himself against the Christian socialist mevement. The Colonial Council is discussing a new emigration law, which proposes that all emigration from Germany shall be state directed. The aim is to regulate emigra- | tion so that the main stream thereof shalt | be gmded to the German colonies instead foreign countries. The Emperor has again offered to confer upon Dr. Miquel, Prussian Minister of | Finance, a hereditary barony, but the doc- tor has declined the dignity upon the ground that hé-is not sufficiently wealthy to support the dignity and title after he | shall cease to be in office.- | Concerning his refusal the Voerwaerts, the socialist organ, maliciously remarks that Dr. Marquel refused the barony be- | .cause he was afraid to face the disclosure | of letters which, when he was a young man, he wrote to the socialist agitators, Marx and Engel, denouncing the nobility. The Emperor paid & special honor to the late Embassador Runyon by sending six- teen officers, drawn from each regiment of | the guards now in Berlin, to the memorial " service, -held in St. George’s Episcopal | Church, all of whom were attired in pa- | rade uniform. This distinction corresponds with the usage in.Germany at the obsequies of brig- adier-generals who have served in actual war. Mrs. Runyon is rapidly recovering from the shock caused by her husband’s sudden death. It is the intention of the | members of the family to give her a change of scene and she will shortly go to Dresden and Wiesbaden. Robert T. Kneebs, the American trotting lorse owner, who is in prison here under the conviction of having startec a ‘‘ring- er’’ on the Berlin and other German tracks, has offered a large amount of bail for his release pending the hearing of his appeal against his conviction, but the Judge to whom the application was made refused, and told the lawyer who applied that he’ would not let Kneebs out of prison if he furnished $100,000 bail. At the grand court reception held at the palace on Wednesday Mrs. J. B. Jackson, of thé United States embassy, was pre- sented to the Empress., The presentation was. made through the Countess von Brockdorff, grand mistress of the court of hef Majesty, the Empress and Queen.

HAVANA, Cusa, Feb. 1.—General Pando telegraphs from Santiago de Cuba that the Spanish troops under Colonel Sandoval came upon the forces of Jose Maceo and Rabi in their stronghold on the hills of San Augustan on January 30.

C., Feb, 1.— To- day’s official dispatch from Havana to the Minister of War at Madrid, a copy of which was received by the Spanish Minis- ter, is as follow: A HAVANA, Feb. 1.—The column of Col- onel Sandoval, operating in the Cobre Mountains, Santiago de Cuba, took the position beld by the enemy in Manuela Rajon, Retiro and_Godicia, killing four and wounding many.
