NEW YORK NOT A UNIT.
Candidate ohauucey Dspew Explains HIS
Position.


Position.
NEW YORK, June 12.-"The New York
State delegates to the Chicago convention"
says q member of the Republican County
Committee, will 90 to the convention
without any previous consultation, and
with no understanding as to taking any
position as State in that body.
''There is considerable dissatisfaction" !"
he continued, cover this fact, and feel
ing that New York's strength should be
shown in q decisive way in some direc-
ton; bot her strength has been divided,
and she will be without weight in the
convention. 1t will be too late for calm
and cool deliberation when the delegates
meet in Chicago, even if they attempt to
confer before the convention assemblies. !"
In an interview with Mr.. Dspew con-
cerning his position, the interviewer said (:
"Major Buudsy, of the Hail and Express,
is quoted as saying that, in reply to q ques-
tion rs to whether or not yon would ac-
cept the nomination, you said: i would.
Who would notP"
''That is exactly what said in Major
Bundy's presence" replied Mr.. Depew,
land that explains my position exactly
If the nomination should be rendered me
by the convention / would accept 1T. VINO
would not? do not desire the nomina-
ton; do nDt want it; but there Is some
thing more than personal wishes to be con-
sidered. If the leaders of the party decide
that / should be the man to head the
ticket / think it would he my duty to
waive all personal matters, and, for the
good of the party, of the country, perhaps,
accept the nomination. Who would not
do so? Who could refuse?"
"Can you suggest any possible cause for
the authorship of the letter referred To by
the Globe DemOerdt?"
| ''WeII, think the statement / have Just
made to you might possibly have caused
some one to write il, though Of course
have no idea as to who either the sender
or the recipient was. The statement on
nv part, that would be in no position to
say whether or not the convention woulc
act wisely in selecting me for their candl
date, coupled with the declaration that
am not candidate for and do not desire
the nomination, might be very easily con
strued into meaning that would not al
low my name to be used in the conven
tion. The construction would be wrong
however, fer that is not what mean, ant
have made no positive statement to any
person, at any time, to the effect that
would not accept the nomination In case
were rendered me. My position in TIN
matter does not rest with me, but witt

The Body of the Baltimore Banker Found
Floating In the River.
BALTIMORE, Sune 12.-The body Of L.
Harrison Garrett, who was drowned on
Thursday night last by the sinking of bis
yacht, the Clean, by the steamer Joppa,
has been recovered.
1t was found mile distant from the
spot where the accident occurred. The
steamer Nantieoke brought the remains to
Baltimore.
The Nsnticoke was on her way up the
river to this city when the body was dis
covered. The pilot saw dark object
floating in the water and notified the cap
tain. Order was given to run close to 1t
and in few minutes the boat was near
enough for those on board to see that the
object was the body of large man, and,
as it was suspected, proved TO be that OF
T. Harrison Garrett. A small boat was
lowered and the remains were placed on
board.
The body was in an unexpectedly good
condition. On the left temOle there was
red mark and one of the hands was some
what bitten, probably by crabs or eels,
with which the waters in this vicinity
abound, and which it was feared would
greatly disfgure the body. The face was
black, and blood oozed from the nose. The
body was completely dressed, in q yacht
ing suit. Yachting shoes were on the feet
The watch and chain and other jewelry
| worn by the unfortunate man were In their
places.
The remains on reaching here were Ia
ken to an undertsker's establishment
whence they will be transferred to th'
Garrett residence. Mrs. Garrett was i'm
mediately notified.

WASHINGTON, D. O., June 12.-The
Democratic members of the Ways and
Means Committee were In consultation for
some time to-day in pursuance of the
effort to abridge the five minute debate
on the tariff bill. Taking advantage Of
the desire of q number Of the Republicans
to have the consideration Of the bill sus-
pended long enough to allow them to
attend the Chicago convention, the Demo
Gratis offered to consent to the
D p1stponement if on their part the Re,
publicans would agree to take final vote
upon the bill at q fixed date. The tender
came to nought for the reason, as stated
by one of the members Of the committee,
that the Republicans could not agree
among themselves.
