CLEVELAND AND HILL.
A TAMMANY MAN DIsCOURsEs OF THE
MANHATTAN DINNER.

At Which the Two New Workers Met
Kissed and Made Up-Tammany Won't
Take Clcveland-For Hill First and
German Next.
Grover Cleveland's friends at the Ma
tional Capital appear to be very jubilant
over the fact that the ex-Prcsident and
Senator-elect David Bennett Hill met at a
dinner party given last Saturday night by
State Senator William i. Brown at the
Manhattan Club in New York City.
The Cleveland shouters in this town say
that the fact that these two pronounced
candidates for the Dem ocratic nomination
for the Presidency actually broke bread
together is evidence that truce has been
fixed up; that Hill has finally given his
consent that the big man should have the
field all to himself, and that Tammany
Hall has also fallen into line, the dc u
being that Tammany will get all the fat
offices in the metropolis in the event of
Cleveland's election. Might as well say
that Charles A. Dana had buried the
hatchet and joined the Cleveland process
sion. Only week ago Cleveland and the
editor of the Sun sat down at the same
banquet table-the occasion being the
Policemens dinner.
House, said TO The Critic reporter this
morning: David i. Hill Is as much of
a candidate for the Presidency to-day as
he was one week before he was elected
Senator to succeed William NJ. Evarts.
Hill will continue TO be in the field until
the last ballot in the convention Is taken.
New York will stand by him.
"Wbat nonsense TO talk about Tammany
Hall trusting Grover Cleveland The
1a~.,
ories. IL has been less than six years
since Cleveland was inaugurated. What
did he do for usp Nothing. He simply
did all he could TO wreck our organization.
In face of the fact that he was advised by
ex.Secretary Whitney and other County
Democracy men to appoint to Federal
Office some active man in our organization
he refused to do it. He made the lame
excuse that Tammany did not support him
for the nomination.
'That was true, but he could not say
that Tammany did not warmly support
HIM at the polls. Rather than confer an
office on Tammany Cleveland gave the
best office in his gift the Collectorship, to
an up-county man--Dan Magone. No, il
Cleveland expects Tammany Hall to help
him in his ambitions, he will be sadly
left. We are engaged in these days OF
our prosperity in assisting our very worst
| enemy"
"Then you don't think Cleveland can
secure the New York delegation?"
81 am certain of that. If Cleveland is
nominated he would lose New York by
| $4,000 votes and he wouldn't come within
1000 or 5000 of carrying either Jersey oi
| Connecticut"
HAS the New York Democracy sec
ond choice after Hill?"
| Eyes. Arthur p. German, the ables
leader since the days Of Tilden."

A Child seriouslx Burned.

Bessie Skates, a 9-year-old colored girl,
was painfully burned at the home of
Frank Hosmers, 1885 Seventh street
northwest, to-day. While the family
were absent from the house the child be-
gan playing with lighted paper on the
stoye-hearth and her clothing became
ignited. Officer McNally heard her pitiful
cries for help and succeeded in extinguish-
ing the flames, but not until the child had
been very seriously burned. She was
taken to the Children's Hospital in the
Ninth precinct patrol wagon.

The City of Charlotte Has Disastrous
Fire.

Fire.
CHARLOTTE. N. G., Feb. "A disastrous
fire occurred here early yesterday morn
ing. A high wind prevailed at the time
and the entire business portion of the city
was threatened. The fire started in the
basement of the Wilson Drug Company.
Over the drug store was the Belmont
Hotel, an annex Of the Central, connected
by frame bridge, which also took fire.
The Central Hotel was crowded with
guests, among, whom there was panic,
is not known at present what the loss will
aggregate. The Wilson Drug Company
was insured for 100000, which fully COW
ers the loss on stock. The Central Hotel
was insured for $4,000, but only portion
of that structure was damaged to any ex-

The Weiner Abendblan is one of the lead
ing daily journals published in Vienna.
In its issue of December "a it publishes
some queer gossip purporting to convey
the opinion of Eduard Strauss concerning
America and Americans. Strauss has but
recently returned to Vienna after pre-
sumabfy profitable tour through the
country 1t Is reasonably certain that he
was not subjected to half the incon-
venience and annoyances which the
American tourist in Europe must endure;
and If the quality and quantity of st.
Louis beer did not please him Mr.. Strauss
is not easily entertained. 1t is scarcely
credible that the Vienna musical director
really sanctioned the following amusing
impertinences recorded the in journal
named and translated very freely as fol-
lows
ut was in Boston that Strauss made his
first appearance. The audience numbered
about 5000 people, two-thirds of whom
were in their shirt sleeves. They repre-
sented the middle class of Americans
working people who receive high wages
and who are always willing to pay well
for the privilege. OF listening to European
artists preceded by a fine reputation. The
first, second and third pieces on the pro-
gramme were performed, but not hand
was agitated in applause. Upon the con-
clusion of the fourth number the audience
began to whistle. Strauss was naturally
much surprised and asked an explanation
Of his manager, who came forward smil-
ing and Offering congratulations. What
does this meant? inquired Strauss. Don't
YOU understand was the answer. you
have excited the enthusiasm of your au-
dience and they are showing it by whist
ling
''Strauss and his musicians suffered
much from the impoliteness of railway
conductors, the thievishness of negro
servants and the peculiar way of the tenn
perance people. The negroes steal like
crows, appropriating everything thay can
lay their hands on. In the hotels no
guest is sure that he will find his money
and clothes on waking, and Strauss and
his musicians were in constant dread of
losing their instruments. II was the tenn
norance people, however, who annoyed
them most. In some of the prohibition
States the Vienna musicians were forced
to go dry. Instead of beer they were
given American water and when they
asked for wine they were told they could
not have it without physicians pre-
scription. Strange to say, all the men,
bers Of the orchestra fell sick, and they
speedily exhausted the stock of remedies
at one drug store. Mr.. Strauss yesterday
related these incidents of his American
| tour to large number of guests at his
house. lie added that his engagement
across the water had proved a triumph for
| the Vienna waltz and that he expected to
| visit the United States again next season,
| going as far West as California"

MIR. TELLER's EXPLANATION
Regarded rs Singular In View of n Pre-
vfous Agreement.

HteSaTucu ub NleW OI ~ ITe-
vfous Agreement.
Mr.. Teller last Saturday made an expla-
nation Of his vote in regard to cloture and
the Federal Elections bill, which is con-
sidered by the friends of those measures
as somewhat singular in view of the fol-
lowing agreement:
We will vote, first, TO take up for con-
sideration ON the first day of next session
the Federal Elections bill, and to keep IL
before the Senate, to the exclusion of all
other legislative business, until 1t is dis
posed of by vote.
Second, to make such provision as to
the time and manner of taking the vote
rs shall be decided by a majority of the
Republican Senators to be necessary in
order to secure such vote, either by a
general rule like that proposed by Mr..
Hoar and now pending before the Com
mittee on Rules, or by special rule of the
some. purport, applicable only to the
Elections bill.
This agreement was signed by Messrs.
Teller, Stewart, Jones of Nevada, Wash
burn, ingalls, and Cameron, all of whom
have voted to side-track both cloture and
the Elections bill.

Killed by an Explosion.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 2.-William Swisser was
killed and John Kelly badly burned in the
ammonia ice plant Of Tamm Bros glue
works yesterday. Those connected with
the works say that a large iron casting
was being placed in position directly over
one Of the pipes through which ammonia
gas was being forced so that the casting
fell and broke one of the pipes, and that
the escaping gas exploded.

A WARNING TO REED.
The Silver Bill Must Have Fair Treat

The silver Bill Must Have Fair Trent
ment-No Jugglery.
Some of the Eastern radical journals are
calling upon Speaker Reed to "lxill the
Free Coinage bill" 1t Is easy enough to
give such advice, but even Speaker Reed,
with all his arbitrary rules and his queer
ways Of ''beating the devil around the
stump" will not have such plain sailing
in stamping the life out of free coinage.
A large proportion of Mr.. Reeds own
party friends in the House are in favor of
free coinage and they will insist upon
square dealing In the disposition of the
pending measure. They say kill II II
you can by fair means, but no jugglery."
A Western Republican member said to
THE Critic this afternoon: "If Reed
should attempt to keep us from getting
vote on the Senate bill will volunteer to
lead q revolt against giving him the COM
plimentary nomination for the Speaker

More Praise for Arthur Pue German.
From M6 boston Globe.


Senator Gorman's mastery maneuyrng
in the Senate has elected the enthusiastic
praises Of the Democrats and excited the
ire of the Republicans. He is always
alert, never taken by surprise, always
keeping within the bounds of parliament
tary usage, and always master of the situ-
alton, as much as q minority leader can
be, Thus far the Republicans have been
outgeneraled at every point, and IL
they have gained any advantage they have
gained 1t by gross violation of the rules
and usages of the Senate.
German very perceptibly towers above
Hoar and Aldrich and the other Repub-
lican leaders in the mastery shrewdness
Of his parliamentary leadership. If he
has finally succeeded in preventing the
passage of the Force bill, he will have
earned reputation as tacticlan not
second to that of the late Samuel j. Ran
dali, whose great fame was chiefly made
by his brilliant and successful fight against
the Force bill in the Forty-third Congress,
seventeen years ago,
