1t may be early to begin the nam

following from tire Atlanta ConstIIu-

the stupendo1ls folly in which it set
aside Mr.. TiEden in 1880 for General
Hancock. - Grover Cleveland
lis the leader under whom the Democ-
racy can march to triumph in 1892,

more worthy of the great work to
which he is consecrated-the re-
deeming of the government from the
hands of the Republicans and placing
it once more in the hands of the
people"

metin New York city Wednesday and
elected Calvin S. Brice chairman dur
ing the unexptred term of the late
VIM. II. Barhum, in respect to whose
memory resolutions were adopted
The concensus of opinion among the
delegates was that tariff reform and
civil service reform are enduring
principles of political strength, and
toward AIr. Cleveland the frfendItest
feelings were expressed.
The Board Of Regents of the West
Virginia University, last Tuesday,
voted to throw open the collegiate de-
partmeut of that institution to fe-
males. The effort was made to adj
init females TO every department of
the University, but this was defeated
by the unanimous adoption of the
resolution to admit to the collegiate
departments only. Our Regent, DR..
W. W. Brown, opposed this sweeping
measure, and only voted for the
proposition rs adopted in order to de-
feat the more Objectionable one of
general admission. In this action he
is sustained by the sentiment OF the
people Of this section. They are OPP
posed to the system of co-education
of the sexes in our State University,
and would rather, if females are to be
given University advantages, that it
should be done through the separate
medium Of a female institution.

HE DECLINED TO RESIGN.
But the Axe Fell, and He Is No Longer
Government Official.

The commissioner Of patents to-day removed
J. p. Burke, the chief of the Gazette division
in the Patent Office, and appointed in his
place J. ". Babson. The circumstances
connected with this change have created
considerable attention. As was stated
in yesterdays STAR, the commissioner init
mated to Mr.. Burke that his resignation
would be acceptable. Mr.. Burke refused to
comply with this suggestion For the reason, as
he told STAR reporter to-day, that
10 had always advised his comrades in the
Grand Army not to resign, as 1t was abandon
ing some of their rights. The discharged sol
diers of the late war. he said, had some rights
under the law, and he stood on these
rights. He did not suppose that he
could retain his Office but at least he would not
voluntarily deprive himself of any rights which
he had under the law. lie proposed 10 make
the fight on this issue, but if he failed and his
comrades were benefited he would be satisfied.
Mr.. Babson. who occupied the position of
assistant chief of the Gazette division. was chief
of the division when the democratic admins
tration came in. He is now restored 10 his old
place.
1t is thought that Mr.. s. VI. Pool, now in the
Office, viii be made assistant chief.

Government Purchases of Silver,

Senator Stewart, of Nevada, had long in
terview with Secretary Window yesterday, in
which he tried to persuade the Secretary to in
crease the monthly purchase of silver. This,
the Nevada Senator argued, was the best way
to reduce the surplus. Secretary Window
could not see just how the surplus was reduced
by giving out greenbacks and getting silver in
return. He said he had some twenty millions
OF silver dollars in the Treasury vaults, some
of which he would be very glad to part with
To purchase more silver would be simply
changing the shape of the surplus from gold
and paper TO silver. Mr.. Stewart made the point
that the purchase of silver brought millions
of money from the Treasury and distributed
itamong the people. Mr.. Window stated that it
would be impossible to take any action in the
increased purchase of silver until the subject
had been very carefully weighed and consid-
cred by the President and discussed in cabinet
meetings. 1t is understood that the Nevada
Senator will have an interview with President
Harrison about the matter, and afterward il is
expected it will become a special subject for
discussion in cabinet meeting

land.

NEW YORK, April 12.-The steamship Elder,
OF the North German Lloyd line, which has
just arrived from Bremen, is reported to have the
Danmark's passengers on board. The steamer
lseland. of the Thingvalla line, which left Co
penhasen four days later than the Danmark
and is due here tonight, will also probably
bring some intelligence OF the disaster.
WHAT THE AGENT SAYS.
The New York agent of the Thingvalla line
this afternoon said: I'VE have here a cable
dispatch to the effect that the Danmark

overhauled and it was thought by
all that she was the best of
our fleet. There were on board at the time of
her departure at least 10 people. OF these
$50 were passengers. To manage and to look
after the comfort of this large number of pas
sengers there must have been at least sixty in
the crew and probably the number may have
reached 100 or perhaps 155. There are. three

to 7I5 people.
The Danmark is commanded by Capt. Kru-
sen. an old seaman, well-known for his courage
and presence of mind, and he is

been abandoned,
