Ex-rRtsIDENr CLEVELAND TALKS.
But Is Non CommittaI on the watterson-
BilI Letter.

New YORK, Fel quarry l2.-The Herald
prints the folio ring: called upon
Mr.. Grover Cleyeland in reference TO the
Watterson letter. First, | asked Mr.
Cleveland for an expression OF opinion
AS to the unity of the party for 1892.
Mr.. Cleveland inquired why the 'ques-
tion was asked now, and then told him
the question was founded upon the let
ter of Mr.. WatterSOn TO Governor Hill.
What can | say about it?n said Mr..
Cleveland, echoing one OF my questions.
"You know more about these things
than do. l go to and from my bnsi-
ness and mind mind my own business.
Some people make great deal out OF
very little. Now | am not worrying
about these matters in the least. am
attending to my own business and |
don't know why | should be asked about
these matters"
reminded the distinguished Demo
cratic leader that very large section OF
the country would be very glad to hear
from him.
Il recently attended "'ner," said
Mr.. Cleveland looking ou = the win
dow with smile on his i., which
was given by gentleman, ,n,o,s great
deal was made of it by othC tt pie. 1t
-,as talked about and writtes sout and
looked upon as something very extra
ordinary"
That was because you met Governor
Hill there"
''YeS. but did not know he was TO be
present, and he did not know | was to
be present. Ii was Il meeting of good
Democrats at a gentleman's table, and
that was all. ."
And you had no private conversation
with Gov. Hip"
"Gov. Hill and l" said Mr.. Cleveland
quite seriously, have, ever since | left
the gubernatorial chair, been on the
very best of terms. Every time have
Oeen to Albany or passed through it |
have called on Gov. Hill. Why should
We not be on cordial terms? The even
ing of the dinner Gov. Hill was visiting
an armory in this city. No, we had no
private conversation. All that hap
pened was stated in the newspapers.
Finally | remarked that, notVith-
standing the recent Democratic cyclone
in the country, the Democratic party
would have good deh TO do to beat
the Republican party.
at will be no child'S play said the
ex-PreSident, very quietly. Before
he handed me back the paper he looked
at the date Of the letter, quoting il
aloud. Mr.. Cleveland, however, made
no comment on the supposed letter.

cLEvELAND's ATTITUDE
On Free Coinage Creates "A Big Sensation
in Washington.

SPECIAL Telegram 10 the Register.
WAsmNGroN, d c., February l2.-
The sensation OF the day here was the
Cleveland letter against the free coin
age OF silver. 1t stirred members OF
Congress up as nothing has in long
time, and it was discussed in all its
bearings with warmth. The more ar
dent silver men, Democrats as well aS
Republicans. made no concealment OF
their disapprova of the letter, as they
fear that its effect will be decidedly bad
on the present attempt TO pass free
coinage bill. Indeed, it is believed it has
DESTROYED whatever chance there may
have been to pass that measure at this
session.
In speaking Of the letter, Senator
Faulkner said rs the Democratic party
is now solidly in favor Of tariff reform,
that is no longer an issue within the
Democratic lines. Mr.. Cleveland is the
most prominent man in the Democratic
Marty. and his letter on the silver QueS-
tion will make that the most prominent
question before the National convention
newt wear. The Democratic State con
yentions have spoken in favor OF Tree
coinage of silver, the Democratic Sena-
tors and members in Congress have also
voiced the sentiment Of four-iifths OF
the rank and file of the party in the
same way.
Senator German did not care to
express any opinion on the let
ter at this time. Senators Barbour ana
Daniels, OF Virginia, thought Mr..
Cleveland'S letter grave mistake,
which would make almost impossible
his nomination next year. Mr.. Wilson,
of West Virginia, thought the letter af-
forded fresh proof Of that courage
which the people so much admired In
Cleveland. 1t might hurt the ex-PreSi-
dent in the West and South, but IL
would give him greater strength IN the
North and East. What the effect would
be on the nomination in 1892 could not
be Judged at this time.
Mr.. Bland was very indignant about
the letter. He said: THE free coin
age of silver is a Western and Southern
measure, in the interest Of freedom from
the thralldom of Wall street. Free cleo
tions and free coinage go hand III mana
and no man can Oe elecle" vi VHo i'O",
cratic platform who is not in sympathy
with that movement. Mr.. Cleveland's
letter makes his candidacy for the Presi-
depcy ridiculous. He will have no fol-
lowing west of the Allegheny Noun
tainS.'
MIR. Kerr. Of Pennsylvania, said that
the letter might strengthen Mr.. Clcve-
land in New York and PcnnSy vania'
bu, that the impression seems to be that
il would hurt him in the South ana
West. The full effect OF the letter ne
thought. could not be foreseen at TINS
/ time. iii.
Mr.. Dargon, of South Carolina, said:
1T may hurt him with politicians out
If will strengthen him with the peo pie;
II is manly letter and he is right. !
believe Cleveland is so strong ana mas
snch hold on the confidence OF the
neople that although majority oil lhe
narty in the House are opposed to MN
on this proposition, he will carry 'he
country with him. think 1t fortunate
that he wrote the letter. His course l.

The Wounded Knee Inquiry.

WAsHINGroN. ID. C., February l2.-
The Secretary of War this afternoon
made public the result of the investiga-
ton of the battle Of Wounded Knee
and Colonel ForSythS conduct on that
occasion. Endorsing the record OF the
court of inquiry, General Miles scores
Colonel Forsyth in mercileSs manner.
He accuses Colonel Forsyth Of neglect
OF dutv. diSobedieuce OF orders, general
incompetence and lack of Judgment aud
discretion. General Schofield, in en-
dorsing the report, says that the inter
ests of the service do not demand the
Of Colonel ForSyth's sus-
pension. and states that the record OF
the court shows that great care was
taker by the officers and enlisted men
of the Seventh Cavalry, and that in his
Judgment the conduct OF the regiment
was well worthy Of the commendation
bestowed upon it by him in his first tel
egram after the engagement. Secre-
tarv of War Proctor reviews the evl-
dence at great length, and in conclu-
Sion sustains fully Colonel Forsyth

LONDON, February l2--The McCar-

continued in session until midnight.
Mr.. Mccarthy and Mr.. Sexton have IS
sued 4 brief official statement declaring
that the Boulogne negotiations were

ity, uninnuenced by any other mem
bers of their section, and specifically

ship was impossible.
Mr.. Condor states: had an inter
view this evening with MeSsrS. O'Brien
and Dillon. Mr.. Dillon expressed him
self as strongly against Parnell's leader

stances would he ever again serve un-
der Mr.. Parncll and that rather than
to do so he would quit politics alto
gether.
The report read at the meeting occu-
pied twenty minutes. The report Will
not be published in its entirety, unless

publication necessary. The Mccarthy

of the bunker known as Victor Mace,
whose disappearance was announced
Yesterday, is Berneau. Among his
clientele were about six thousand priests.
The Pope recently sent to Berneau the
Papal benediction. and a photograph oil

This had the effect OF increasing the
bankers credit among the clergy. The
money deposited with Berneau amount
ed To 5000, 600 monthly.
The banker kept no books, ana maze
no record beyond the simple entry OF
deposits made. He gambled on th'
Bourse. on the turf, and at cards. HIS
luck turned recently, and he lost 2'o''
600 francs monthly. As a last resource
he went to Monte Carlo.
