STILL A MYSTERY.
The Place of Holding the National Dem
0cratic Convention
NOT YET DECIDED UPON.
Chairman Barnum Will Not Talk, and
All Talk Is Mere Pre-
diCtiOn.

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-William III. Bar
mum, chairman of the national Demo-
cratic committee, is at the Grand Pacific
hotel. He arrived this morning, did not
register and cautioned the clerks against
revealing his presence in the hotel to
the newspaper men. a note sent to
him asking for an interview was re-
turned with the remark that he was too
busy. Postmaster Judd, the Illinois
member of the committee, said he had
not seen Mr.. Barnum. Although the
committee appointed by the local Demo-
cratic organizations to secure the
national Democratic convention for
Chicago have gone to work
with will to secure the $4,000
which are necessary to defray the eX-
penSes of the gathering, there is never
theleSS very prevalent feeling that
ChicagO'S prospects for securing the
convention are hardly as bright as they
appeared Il month ago. Despite the
Semi-Ot1icial announcements that the
president himself has expressed no
choice in the matter, and that it is i'm
material to him where the convention
may assemble, the guarded utterances
of his friends in this city indicate very
clearly that he has preference for
New York or Indiana, and that, al
though no claim has yet been put for
ward in behalf of Indianapolis, he would
be very we'll content to see it go to that
place. The breach between eX-Chair-
man Barnum, of the national commit

cent action of the former in publicly al

chances of the city. New York, Chi
cago, Boston, Cincinnati, ST. Louis and
San Francisco comprise the lists of
claimants to date, but should Indianap-
lis enter the field it is believed that it
would stand an even chance with the
first two named. A circular setting
forth the advantages of Chicago and
signed by Melville W. Fuller and Hon.
Martin j. Russell, of the Herald, was
mailed to-day to each member OF the ma
tiOnal committee.
NEW YORK'S CLAIM.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l.-1t is now
reasonably certain that New York city
will be selected as the place for holding
the Democratic national convention.
Most of the party leaders believe that
the best way of inSuring the carrying
OF the empire state is to hold the con-
vention in New York. Senator Beck
called upon the president at the in
stance of certain Cincinnati parties, and
he says that Cleveland insisted upon
holding the convention in New York.
| Senator Voorhees, told member of the
Cincinnati committee that no matter
| what the presidents choice might be
| the convention would be held in some
| Western city. Other Democrats who
| are interested i'll the convention declare
| that the matter is all settled, and the
convention will be held in New York
! city.

A PACIFIC POLICY.
Peace Assured Unless Russia Is
Provoked by Her NeighbOrs.

BERLIN. Jan. 21.-The Moscow Ga
zette yesterday indicated the pacific
policy of Russia. 1t declared that peace
was assured unless Russia should be
provoked by aggressive acts of her
neighbors. The NoyOe Vremya protests
that the Russian ornaments are purely
defensive. The Sveut disputes the
Wochenblatt'S figures and tries - rrave
that Germany can concentrate On 90
men on the frontier of Poland within
ten days, while Russia's huge areas Of
territory and imperfect means of trans
pOrtation render difficult the work OF
mobilization. The pOstponement of the
rup ure is not in accordance with the
strategy of the Berlin war office nor
with the wishes of the VienneSe, but
continues due to the irreS0lutiOn of the
Austrian government. Although con-
WINGED that war is inevitable, and that
it would be preferable for Austria
sooner than later, Count Kalnoky per-
SiStS in waiting RuSSia'S time. Public
sentiment in Vienna and Pesth dis
plays irritation over the position. The
Hungarian papers charge kalnOky with
too great SubServience to Bismarck, and
urge that action be taken without wait
ing for an order from Berlin. The truth
OF the position, however, is that Prince
Bismarck has already fully possessed
Count Kalnoky of the fact that German
initiative to war is impossible, leaving
the Austrian gOvernme t free to open
hOStilitieS when it deems the time ripe.

Knights of Pythias Quarrel.

CINCINNATI, o., Jan. 21.--The COM
mission to try the charges preferred
against the grand lodge of Pennsylvania
knights of Pythias. consisting of How
ard Douglass, supreme chancellor; A.
r. Brant, of Georgia; W. w. Blackwell,
of Kentucky, and John G. Burns, of
Ohio. were in session to-day investi-
eating the charges. The grand lodge of
Pennsylvania presented, through Chan
cellOr Cotton, a written answer in
which it denies it the right of the su-
Dreme lodge to enact any laws for its
government, or for the government of
subordinate lodges under its control,
the sole right of making and enacting
such laws being vested, as is claimed
by the Pennsylvania lodge, in the grand
lodge. 1t is understood that the COM
mission has unanimously decided in
favor of the suspension of the grand
lodge of Pennsylvania, and an edict to
that effect will be at once issued. The
supreme chancellor is receiving large
numbers of letters daily from Knights
in Pennsylvania pleading loyalty and
obedience to the laws of the supreme
lodge.

ChicagO's Natural Gas.

CHICAGO. Jan. 21.-During the past
two weeks Commissioner of Public
Works Swift has been engaged in sink
ing well on the lake shore in direct
line with the Leland hotel and the
Cooke brewery, in the hope that gas
might be struck. A pocket of the tickle
illumination was found at depth of
ninety feet Thursday morning. An
assistant, wishing to add joint to the
protruding end of the siX-inch pipe,
gave orders to have some live Goals
placed on it for the purpose of thawing
the ice from the threads. A bright
flame was instantly started which
blazed two feet high for several hours
and was burning brightly when it was
off. The gas, it is supposed, comes
from quantity of quickSand some dis
lance above the Trenton strata, where
it is believed to exist in great quantities.
The natural gas expert, who is boring
the well for Commissioner Swift, says
it confirms a theory of his own that the
gas struck so far is but leak from a
big deposit lying some place beneath
the city. Work OH the well will be con-

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-The eighth annual

Grain Trade Falling Off.

BALTIMORE, Md, Jan. 21.-It is stat
ed by old members of the corn and flour
exchange, that the grain trade of this
port has not been so much depressed
for twenty years as it is at this time.
The entire receipts for the week ending
to-day were: Wheat, 1924 bu; corn,
50,462 bu; oats, $500 bu; and rye, 3.2444
bu. The sales for the same period were:
Wheat. 1,162,000 bu; corn, 306,419 bu;
oats. LOO bu; and rye, 800 bu. Apart
from all other causes. some assert that
the decline in receipts is due to the ex-
cessive elevator charges, while others
attribute it to the lack of foreign de-
mand. Whatever may be the cause, it
is certain that the grain trade has fallen
off fearfully, and so little interest is
manifested that membership tickets,
the par value OF which is $500, are sold
down to S1l0, each, and there are few
seeking them at that figure.

EMPEROR WILLIAM.
For the First Time in Fortnight
He Takes a Driye-The Crown
Prince Hopeful.

BERLIN, Jan. 21.-Emperor William
drove out yesterday for the first time in
a fortnight. He looked well. At the
reception given to the president of the
landtag the emperor talked freely and
cheerfully, but avoided abiding to the
political situation. The abandonment
of the SchlOss balls and other carnival
festivities dullS the whole season. Pri-
vate receptions are out of the mode,
only the public fetes being maintained.
The annual ball III aid of charity, the
artists ball, and the dramatic and press
balls will be given as usual. The crown
prince, in letters to friends, says he Is
hopeful of returning to Berlin early in
the summer. He took a walk to-day,
accompanied by the Prince and Prin-
cess of -Meningen and Prince
Henry, his son. An address of condo
lence and encouragement, signed by
10000 persons, will be sent from Berlin

CORRECTING ABUSES,
Many Abuses OF Foreign Consular
Protection at Morocco Being
CDuoa%o1

Many Abuses OF Foreign Consular
Protection at Morocco Being
Corrected. )
WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. THE depart
ment of state has received report from
United States Consul Lewis at Tangiers
in relation to the abuses of the system
of foreign consular protection i'll Mo
rocco and the steps taken by him for
their correction in respect to the pro-
lection of native MOOrS by the repreSen-
tatiVeS of the United States. On taking
charge of the consulate in March, 1887,
Mr.. Lewis found cut over 500 persons
enjoying official and unofficial prOtec-
ton under the United States. The class
of unofficial protected far outnumbered
those entitled to official protection. and
an instructive example is given of the
nature and extent of the protection
claimed and conceded. About year
ago the inhabitants of village near
| Tangiers, famed for boar hunts, having
been ordered by the sultan to pay tax,
refused to do so OH the ground that their
village was an American colony, and the
baShaS inquiry on subject was answered
by Mr.. Lewis predecessor that the vii
layers numbering about 800, were en-
plOyed as beaters at the boar hunts Or
| ganiZed in connection with the Amer
| lean consulate, and must, therefore, be
| exempt from taxation, as all employees
| OF the consulate were under the pro-
| lection of the United States. All Off
| ciaI protection has now been abadOned
| by Mr.. Lewis, and only three classes of
natives enjoy official protection, those
actually employed in the consular serv-
| ice; those protected in consideration of
| their former services to the United
| nd in No
rocco for citizens of the United States
engaged in wholesale import and export
| trade in Morocco. All these classes are
| expressly provided for by the existing
| treaties, particularly by the treaty be-
| tween Spain and the United States of
1880. 1t appears that at the present time
the number of native MOors protected
| by the United States ON account of
| present or past official employ
ment is only twenty-nine, most of
them being in actual service
and writer's of Arabic. OF business
agents receiving protection there are
! tWenty-siX, all of whom are in the bona
fide employ of citizens of the United
States actually engaged i'll importing or
| exporting according to the terms of eX-
listing treaties. This, the department
officers say, is gratifying exhibition,
and indicates conscientious and sue
cessful reform of much complained of
abuses in the past in connection with
the United States consulate at Tang Ter.
Mr.. Lewis has been directed by the
president to take part jointly with the!
United States minister to Spain in the,
approaching conference at Madrid to-
consider the still continuing abuses of
foreign protection in Morocco, and to
devise further means for their correc-
ton, and at the same time for the full
security of legitimate foreign interests
in native hands.

Must Have Cheap Gas.

CLEAELAND, o., Jan. 2l.-Some
time since the city council passed an
ordinance reducing the price of gas
from $1.25 to 81 per thousand feet. The
gas company refused to comply with
the terms of the ordinance, holding
that as their charter was granted before
the adoption of the present state consti-
tuition, the city had no authority to reg
ulate the price to be charged consumers.
A suit was begun in the circuit court to
compel the company to show why it did
not reduce the price. A decision was
rendered to-day to the effect that the
city has authority under the statutes to
do just what the ordinance contenl-
nlateS,

1t may not be generally known that the
little seaport town Of Wismar, in the
Baltic, is virtually in the same position as
Montague Tigg's shirt-namely, at the
pawnbroker's. 1t was in 1903 that
Sweden pawned the town to the Duchy
of Mscklenburg for a round sum Of
money. 1t was then stipulated that the
town should be restored to Sweden at the
end of century, provided the sum lent,
together with interest, were paid back to
Mecklenburg.
This sum Is now said to amount to sew
eral hundred million marks, and appar-
emily there is little chance of Wismar be-
ing able to pay it at the date fixed. This
singular treaty has lain dormant in the
archives Of the municipality ever since 1t
was made up to the other day, when
