THE PRESIDENT

Trying to Harmonfxc the Democratic EAor
tions In New York Before Distributing OF
dcial Patronage-The Future of the Par
ty the Controlling Inauence-It IL Har-
mony or Defeat.
WAsHINGToN, d. c., June 24.-The
Star last evening published the following
respecting the political situation in New
York State, and the delay of the Presi.
dent in making appointments in that
State:
"The President is said to be giving
thorough attention to the situation of
political affairs in New York. Though
the subject has been frequently discussed
between him and Secretary Manning,
nothing as yet has been definitely settled
concerning the New York appointments.
The President is said to feel that the
future of the party depends upon their
course in New York this fall, and in ordel
to do this all differences must be settled
and the party thoroughly harmonized.
The great danger to be averted is fac
tional fight over the Federal patron
will be carried into the conven-
ton. finally having grand burst
up, and giving the State to the Republi.
cans. The President is giving much
thought, it is said. to the question as
to how he. is to guide the party into the
right channel, without getting involved
himself in any entanglements with the
factions. His policy will be not to es-
pouse the cause of any particular
individuals or factions, but to appeal
to the party loyalty to be united in
their actions, each to make such sacri-
fees as may be necessary at this time
to enable them to get firmer bold.
His advice is that they first get the
pie in a safe place before they begin
to talk about the division, for if they
don't the enemy will come in and carry
it off while they have each other by
the ears. The delay about the appoint
ments in the State is occasioned by the
fact that the policy adopted is to look
very closely into the records of the cam
factions, considering both the suitability
of the appointment and the effect it would
have upon the party. The idea is, after
best men, regardless of faction, and to
present them to the various local
leaders, together with the reasons
for selecting them, and to attempt
by candid argument to show that the Sc
1ections were made with regard to the best
interests of the whole party. Those who
are disappointed will then be appealed to
and urged to lay aside their personal
feelings and to assist in strengthening
the party's hold on power.
Meanwhile Mr.. Manning is doing all in
his power toward this end, and the New
Workers with whom he has surrounded
himself here will exercise their active in.

Great Excitement.

Discovery of Silver at Minersville, Pa
Great Excitement.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, June 25.-Much ex-
element prevails over what is claimed to
be the discovery of rich mine of silver
ore at Minersville. John Hackett, q min
ing engineer, who came here from Cali
fornia, while examining the ground found
surface indications of silver. He worked
quietly at the place for several days and
convinced himself that there was a for.
tune there for him. He leased the
ground, and has made satisfactory ar
rangements with the owners to begin
digging. Experts examined specimens
of the rock, and say it is quite rich in
what is known in Colorado, as white
iron, which is found where gold and sill
yer abound. Prospectors are already ar
irving. People are more enthusiastic
than when the great oil wells were
struck,

Another wife Beater Flog<ed,

BALTIMORE, Nd, June 24.-Henry A..
Myers paid part of the penalty to-day at
noon for having brutally beaten his wife.
The sentence of the court was that he
should receive twenty lashes and undergo
one years Imprisonment. The twenty
lashes were laid on by Sheriff Airey, the
instrument being the same as that used
upon Ryers' back last week. Myers re-
ceived the flogging without crying out,
but squirmed considerably. Each lash
left bright red mark upon his back
where the leather struck. When it was
over Myers seemed utterly overwhelmed
with shame, and was led back to his cell
with bowed head.

DEATH INTERPOSES.
A Washington Wedding Prevented By u
Death of the Bride-to-Be.


WASHINGTON, D. c., June 26.---
DR.. Emil Bessels, the well-known Arctic
traveller, and Madame Ravenna, che
singer, were engaged to be married. Last
Saturday was the date fixed for the we'd
ding. But the doctor was suddenly taken
i'll on Saturday, SO the wedding wss
postponed until last Monday. On Mem
day, when the bridal party reached She
residence of the minister they met WITH
another disappointment the minister,
the Rev. Mr.. Schneider, having unex
pectedly gone to Baltimore. Suisse
quently all arrangements were made
for the wedding to take place on
Wednesday. Yesterday the expectant
bridegroom drove to the house of his
bride to take her to the minister's, but
was shocked to learn that she had been
taken suddenly and seriously ill. The
progress of the disease was so rapid that
by night Madame Ravenna was dead.
She was to have been married at twelve
o'clock, and this termination of what
was looked upon as happy affair is in
expressively sad. Madame Ravenna has
had quite a varied career. Since her
arrival in this country she has been q
concert singer.

After the Hostile Indians.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June A.-Gen-
eral Crook telegraphs the War Depart
ment that he has stationed detachments
of troops at the water holes along the
Mexican lines, and sent Indian scouts
into the mountains to drive the Indians
out. His troops, he states, are hidden,
and should the Indians appear at the wa
ter holes, as is most probable when they
cross the Mexican line. he hopes to cap
ture them. He further says that it is not
likely that he will be heard from for So NE
time, as he will be beyond all lines of
communication for two weeks or m ire,
unless he is more successful inn finding
the Indians than he now anticipates.
