Tue House Foreign Affairs and Appro-
priati0n Committees held a joint secret
meeting to-day, and heard Secretary Frey
linghuySen give his reasons why Congress
should appropriate S250.000 TO enable him
10 obtain desirable concessions from Mica

il is known that 1t was agreed 10 recon-
mend the House 10 vote for the Senate
amendment 10 the consular and diplO-

ing was never better in that State, and

Democrats is Cleveland. but Bayard has
many supporters, they say, and several OF
the delegates to the Chicago Convention

"Blaine is bound TO be beaten. The Pro
hibiuoniStS have State ticket in the heid
i'm Indiana. and state and national ticket
i'm Ohio. Then, the detection among the
German Republicans Of the West Is spread
ing like 4 prairie-hre.' SAID i, " Inc
nomination OF Mfr. Hendricks for Governor
OF Indiana will secure that State to the
Democrats" YES" said he. "and the
Republicans wanted to nominate POstmaS-
ter.General Gresham against him rs their
only chance. but he would not accOmmo-
date them. When he was telt graphed," he
added. "to know if he would take the
second place on the presidential ticket. he
significantly replied after declining the
doubtful honor. that he thought Harrison
would 20 well with Blnne." If Mcdonald
does not secure a place on the democratic
presidential ticket it is probable, 1t is said,
