1.-THE alleged family quarrel in the
democratic party is Pigment in the
mind of republican editors and cor
respondents and exists nowhere else.
Hon. S, S. Cox of New York was ask
ed what he knew about the alleged
strong movement in New York in
favor of Gov. Hill and opposed tothe
denomination of President Cleveland.
He laughed in aqqiet way and said,
1--WE all think Cleveland will be re-
nominated. The opposition to Cleve-
land talked of in the newspapers can
not be located, it is mystery. 1t
is said to be mystery to Gov. Hill.
asked Mr.. Cleveland about it. He
said it was mystery to him; that
he did not understand it. But of
course the republican newspapers
will 60 right along printing full par
ticulars of the anti-C Cleveland move
ment that does not exist. d" 'A '
The President and Mrs. Cleveland,
accompanied by Secretary and Mrs.
Whitney and Col. and Mrs. Lamont,
leave here tomorrow on a special
train for Jacksonville, Florida,

urgent invitation from the State Off
cials. The party will spend two days
in Florida, and on the return trip
will make several short stops. The
party is sure to meet with the Wild

democratic administration which he

The Senate Committee on Terri
tories heard arguments in favor of the
admission of Utah to the Union,
Saturday. Mr.. Richards of Salt Lake
City, explained the adoption of the
constitution and its relation to the
Mormon church. Ex-senator Nc
Donald argued the law points. He
claimed that Congress had no right
to keep territory out of the Union
of States after its people had fulfilled
the conditions and complied with the
requirements for admission.
The Fisheries Treaty has been con-
Guided but not yet made public, and
so the numerous reports in circula-
ton as to its provisions are mere
matters of speculation. Secretary
Bayard states that these rumors are
without foundation in fact. Before
the treaty becomes effective, it must
be approved by the Senate of. the
United States, Queen Victoria, the
Dominion of Canada, and the prov
ince OF Newfoundland. If the treaty
is ratified, it will certainly prove a
signal and memorable triumph for

In all probability tariff bill will be
introduced to the House this week.
The main features of the bill have
been agreed to by the Democratic
members of the Ways and Means
Committee. The details of the bill
are not known outside of the Demo-
cratic members of the Ways aud
| Means Committee, Speaker Carlisle
and several other gentlemen high in
the party councils, but it is safe to
say that itfollows the general line OF
the Presidents message-a document
likely to give its author high place
in the history of:our country, as the
possessor of unlimitedmoral courage.
