Some Doubt as to Who will Lead the

WASHINGTON, February 12th.-A great
deal of rubbish has been printed from time
to time recently about the manipulation oil
New York politics from the White House
for the purpose of securing a solid delega-
ton from the Empire State, and Cleveland
has held anumber of interviews with promi-
nent New York politicians since the meet
ing of the New York State Committee. and
it would be foolish TO deny that these con-
ferences have not been for the purpose OF
adjusting the differences that exist in the
party. AT the same time the reports of a
bitter fight between Hill and Cleveland to
capture the New York delegation to the
National Convention are greatly exagger-
ated.
When Congress assembled public senti-
ment was unanimous in Washington that
Cleveland had no competition in the Dem
ocratic ranks for the nomination. There
has been something of change in feeling
on this subject since that time The Presi-
dent has done nothing in the last three
months to ALLEVIATE from his support
any of the Democratic leaders except
to write the message sent to Con-
gress on the tariff That message
alarmed some of the managers in New
York, New Jersey, Ohio and Connecticut,
and the delay of the Ways and Means
Committee in bringing in tariff reform
measure has not helped to allay their fears
for the future
The Presidents opponents have been
quick to avail themselves of this spirit of
discomfort, and they are spreading reports
that Cleveland will not be able to obtain
the united delegation from New York to
the National Convention, and that if he
cannot do better than divide the New York
delegation he will not be renominated.
They count upon disaffection among the
delegates from the States above mentioned.
There is not so much talk about Hills
candidacy as might be expected While
he may be put to the front, Clevelands op-
ponents believe that Mayor Hewitt would
be stronger candidate before the people
than Hill, and that Secretary Whitney
would make better candidate than either.

THE BOYS BENEFACTOR.
senator Stanford's Dinner to the Pages
of the Senate.

Copyright, 1885. Ly the California associated Press
WASHINGTON, February 12th-Senator
Stanford has made himself solid forever
with the fifteen pages who do the errands
of the United State Senate. When he claps
his hands for a boy there will be q rough
and-tumble scramble for the privilege of
waiting upon him. Last Christmas he
gave each of the boys S5 for a Christmas
present. Last night he entertained all of
them at dinner at his house on K street
The table about which the boys gathered
was handsomely decorated. Along the
center of the cloth ran strip of golden
plush. A great silver vase in the center
was filled with pyramid Of bouquets, loose
knots of hybrid roses, narcissus, tulips and
other fine flowers, which were distributed
at the close of the dinner to the manly
little chaps TO take home to their mothers
The table was lighted with tall Candida
bras, the tapers tipped with pretty shades
At each cover, resting on the folded nap
kin, was buttoniere of carnations and a
rose geranium leaf. On the top of the
water-goblet was card with the name and
date. Stuck in each card was q handsome
gold scarf-pin, some chased, and others
with pearl and turquois settings. a
fancy box of bon-bons lay near each cover
Senator Stanford sat at the head and Mrs
Stanford at the foot of the table. French
favors with funny notices were an anus
ing feature when the time came for the
dessert. The menu comprised every sub
stantial and dainty that II boy could desire

Tariff Reformers Wrestling With Very
Ugly Monster.

Ugly Honster.
Copyright, 1855, blythe California Associated Press
WASHINGTON, February 12th.-The ma-
jority of the Ways and Means Committee
have not yet been able to prepare tariff
bill for submission to the full committee.
and it is suggested that two or three weeks
time may elapse before the measure is per-
fected. The Democratic members of the
committee would have no difficulty in re-
serving revenue reform if they felt sure the
House could be brought to its support. In
every reduction proposed the trainers of the
bill have to consider what its effect will be
upon almost every State and District in the
House represented by Democrat A bill
must be proposed that will not only reduce
the revenue, but that will not be seriously
objectionable to any considerable number
of Democratic Congressional districts.
Probably if Mills was called upon to say
whether or not General Hancock had cor
rectly defined the tariff as local issue, he
would now reply in the affirmative Ran
dali and his few followers in the House
have not given the majority of the Ways
and Means Committee any intimation of
their wishes respecting the formation of Il
tariff bill, or what their policy will be
when the bill is reported, but it is assumed
that they will be hostile to parts, at least,
of the measure. The enlargement of the
free list, and the readjustment of the metal
schedule are subjects that give the commit
tee the most trouble.

Prospective Internal improvements in
Central American States.
WASHINGTON, February 12th.- The
United States Consul at San Salvador has
made report to the Department of State
in regard to the railway system of Central
America. He says that President Menen-
dez, of Salvador, is an earnest friend of the
United States, and, like President Barrios,
of Guatemala, favors an assimilation of
the institutions and business methods of
his country to those of the United States.
Barrios projected the construction of a
railway from the Bay of San Lomas, on
the Caribbean Sea, to Guatemala City. a
distance of $50 miles, where it was to con-
meet with the existing narrow gauge of the
Guatemala Central, 75 miles in length and
terminating on the Pacific at the open
roadstead of San Jose. Forty miles of
this uanscontinental road from Puerto
Barrios to Guatemala City, were half-fn-
ished at the time of Barrios' death. His
successor, President Barillos, purposes the
same policy, favoring the construction of a
trans-Isthmian and other railways pro-
jected in Guatemala, particularly the one
designed to connect the Capitals of Guate-
mala and Mexico.

Of course it had been viewed by dozens of
men, and had laid in the pickling-vat of
the college for several days before being
placed upon the marble slab for the use OF
the ladies who study anatomy. 1t is said
the subject was peculiarly interesting one
to the lady students, on account of the
cause OF death, childbirth. When the
body was turned over to friends it had been
in the hands of the students for some days.
What was left of it was reinterred yester-
