QUAY HASN'T CALLED YET
HARRISON TRIES TO TRAP HIM BUT
SLIPS UP.

The President scheming to Make Is
Appear That the Interview Was OF
the Senator'S seeking-The Latter
Catches on and Lets the Meeting Go
Over
WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Quay's
interview with President Harrison has been
postponed until the senator's return from
the two-weoks' yachting cruise on which
he starts from Philadelphia tomorrow.
The President sent word to the senator this
morning that he hoped he would call to-day
to arrange for the interview at a future
day this week or next, as might suit his
convenience. the President finding himself so
overwhelmed with work that he
could not take az much time as he
thought the Importance of the conference
required. Senator Quay replied that be

ates. Evidently Senator Quay suspected
that the President was beginning the con-
sultation already in a characteristic way,
and did not care to be put in the attitude OF
calling 10 see when he could see the Presi-
dent.
or HARRIsoN's SEEKING.
This interview Is Of the Presidents seek
ing, and Senator Quay evidently does not
propose TO let IL be made TO seem OF his
seeking. He is ready to listen TO the Presi-
dent and to meet him half way, but it is
the President and not the senator who is 10
treat for terms. The Presidents idea, as
set forth by one Of his friends to-day, Is to
use Senator Quay and his influence as far
as may be necessary, but no
farther. He does not propose to
relinouish the contest of his canvass for
renom!nation nor TO give Senator Quay
control OF his campaign for reelection.
He does not think IL would help him TO have
Senator Quay at the head OF things, but he
does want Senator Quays advice and assist
ance zs one OF his lieutenants. President
Harrison IL reckoned as making a good bar
gain by politicians, and thsy say he will not
pay any more than he can help for Senator
Quay's aid.
APT TO MAKE TERMS.
Senator Quay, on the other hand, is
clever at bluffing, and will probably abats
some Of HIS demands, so that it seems likely
that they win make an agreement which
will give President Harrison Pennsylvnnia's
delegation and give Senator Quay more con-
troll of the patronage. President Harrison
finds IL easier to bring himself to bargain
with Senator Quay now that the force
bill, which was the cause OF their
from public view. Senator Quay
really killed the force bill by his insist
ence upon the consideration OF the Mckinley
bill President Harrison recognized that
fact and blacklisted him, just as he did
Senator Cameron. He found aftsrward
that he couldn't afford TO keep Senator
Quhy's name on blacklist, and so took il
Off; but 80 far that has meant little more
than that Senator Quay should have the
opportunity 10 indorse the men Postmaster
General Wanamaker recommended for
office. Senator Quay wants more than that,
and President Harrison must make reci-
procity agreement with him II be wants TO
make sure of his aid.

A Compromise With the City Council
TO Avoid an Election.
ATLANTA, Ca, May 1s-It was feared,
and with some show of reason, that Atlanta
might soon be threatened with the trouble
and turmoil OF another prohibition election,
but the action Of the city council this after
noon. and Of the 1890 club tonight, was
reassuring. The club presented TO the
council what was deemed its ultimatum
This ultimatum bound the club to precipi-
tate no election for the present on condition
that the council should agree 10 grant no
liquor licenses for term longer than three
months. This proposition, It is thought,
was made with an eye to possible legislation
which might be effected at the approaching
session Of the general assembly.
ACTION OF THE COUNCIL
The council stood upon its dignity, and
practically declined to be dictated to, yet
at the same time, with an eye to q COM
own proposing. At this afternoons meet
ing Il was decided that LIQUOR licenses
granted on July / should be good for six
months only, instead of one year. In this
shape the question was left with the pro-
hlbition club. When the members of this
organization assembled Tonight opinion was
largely divided. Some insisted on standing
by the terms originally proposed by the
club. The moderate element, however, was
In the ascendant, and before the adjourn
ment resolutions were adopted virtually
according to the terms laid down by the
council, and IL was determined that for the
six months the prohibitionists should re-
main quiet.
