WHEN the new dredge is purchased
to remove obstructions IN the river, the
most important step IN the way of i'm
proving the water way and exciting
interest in the navigation Of Grand

Resolutions and speeches are of no

needed is practical demonstration OF
the fact that the city really wants deep
water navigation. The purchase of "a
dredge ispractical evidence of this, and
will do much to interest congress in
the cause.

Harrison Must Be Nominated, but
Cannot Be Elected.
BALTIMORE, April 1.-THE News this
afternoon prints conversation over
heard in the United States senate cham
Der between Senator Hiscock, of New
York, and four Republican politicians
from that state, who called to ask the
senator to urge President Harrison and
Secretary Foster to remove Democrats
now holding places in the New York
pOstoffice and custom house and replace
them with Republicans.
"Gentlemen,' said the senator, sit is
of no use. | have gone to both the
president and the secretary about these
very matters, and they will not listen
to me any more, and will absolutely
no nothing. The president thinks
be has a chance to capture
the mugwump vote by playing
civil service reform, and has refused
over and over again to contemplate
any more removals. | have talked with
him and Mr.. Plat has done the same
thing until we are both tired, and l

York for him. He is not particularly
popular now, and if he refuses what we
ask it will only add to his unpopu-
larity."
"Well, we can't help that" the
senator, 1--WE have got to nominate him
whether we want to or not Blaine is
too sick to take it. Ayers record
shuts him out. Sherman is more un-
popular than Harrison, and we will be
obliged when the convention meets to
renominate him OF repudiate the admin
lstration OF the last four years. In
my candid opinion, it don't make
much difference who we nominate,
he is bound to be beaten. The
Democrats will have to nominate Cleye-
land, and the whole country seems to
be going wild over him, and he will be
elected hands down. Harrison IS un-
popular here and everywhere else, and
Blaine is the only man we could have
Bny chance OF electing, and it would be
a hard squeeze to elect him.
"But he is out of the race. He is al
most as good as dead now, and if he
were to be nominated | don't believe he

STEWARDS MORTGAGES.
The Senator Denies Responsibility
for the Gold Clause.

WASHINGTON, April T. After the
routine morning business, 4 resolution
was offered by Mr.. Teller, and agreed
to, calling on the secretary of the treas
ury for a statement IS to the amount of
silver offered 10 the government each
mon tn since the passage of the act of
July IA, 1890, by whom and at what prices :;
the amount of silver bullion purchased
each month of that time, from whom
and at what prices, and number of days
given the sellers in which TO deliver the
silver.
Mr. Stewart made personal eXplana-
ton Oh the subject of an article contain
ing list OF mortgages made to him In
Alameda, Cal, WhereOn there was an
obligation that payment should be made
in gold coin. These mortgages, he said.
had resulted from sales of property at
auction through firm OF brokers in San
Francisco. The mortgages, he pre-
Sumed, were drawn up in the usual
blanks, which contained an obligation
to pay in gold. Mr. Hale hoped that
the senator would see to it that no such
thing should take place in the future.
Mr.. Stewart promised to do so, and
added that he would be glad to be paid
in any kind OF money.
NThe matter of appropriating money
to entertain the q. A. r. encampment
went over without action, after Mr..
Hawley had given notice of an amend
ment placing the expenditure under the
control of the secretary of war. Dur
ing the discussion the bill to place wool
on the Tree list and to reduce the duty
OH WOODEN goods was received from the
house: and after the district bill was
laid aside the wool bill was laid before
the senate by the vice president. and
was referred to the finance committee.
The senate, after short executive Ses-
sion, adjourned.

Gray to Be Pushed at Chicago to
Help Turpie.

Help Turpie.
CHICAGO. April IA Tribune special
from Indianapolis says: There are APP
prehensions of a split in the coming
Democratic state convention, and in
consequence the supporters of Cleye
land were yesterday advising that it
would be policy for the convention to
ndOrse Gray for first place in per-
functory way, as it will have to be done
if it is done at all. 1t will not be sur
prising if all understanding of this KIND
is reached within the next few days.
The object the Cleveland people
set out to attain has been &C
complished, namely: The killing of
the Hill sentiment in this state.
No one now rises to dispute the state
ment that whatever disposition is made
of Gray, the delegation that goes to Chi
cagO Will be for Cleveland as soon as it
becomes evident that Mr.. Gray cannot
be nominated for president.
No one has seriously supposed Gray
will stand any show of nomination for
first place, but kis claims will, it is ar
gued, give him some prestige for sec
Opd place. The opponents of Gov.
Gfay's candidacy for president, in COM
bina'iOn with the friends of Senator
Turpie. are endeavoring to wipe out all
possibility of Gray succeeding Turpie
as United States senator by having the
state convention direct for Gray's cleo
ton. A resolution will be introduced
instructing the legislature to re-elect
Turpie, and those who are behind the
movement say the resolution will pass.

office seekers beat Cleveland, and if
there were no good reasons they would
beat Harrison. As long as the present
system of disposing patronage lasts the
administration will change every four
years, and the disappointed Of
flee seekers will do it if
nothing else does. There has
been more disappointment, more heart
burning, more dissatisfaction over Har-
rison's appointments. and those of his
subordinateS. than there has been dur
ing any other administration within
my recollection. He has tried to carry
water OH both shoulders, and be civil
service reformer and a partisan Repub-
lican. No man could be both unless he
is very great man. and even Harri-
sons warmest admirers have never ac-
cused him of greatness"

John Sherman Softly Sits the Sit

New YORK, April 7.-Senator John
Sherman was at the Fifth Avenue hotel
yesterday afternoon. sit looks now"
said Mr.. Sherman, ''as if the candidates
of 1888 would be the candidates of 1892
Harrison and Cleveland again."
"What Impression has Senator Hill
made in the senate?" MI. Sherman was
asked.
Gle has made none, for he has said
nothing YETI replied Mr.. Sherman. at

atOr to take little or no part in debate"
''Will the silver question come before

Eyes, it may come up at any time.
Senator MOrgan'S resolution is now on
the calendar. 1t must take its turn, UNI
less it be called up out of order. To do
this would require vote which would
be test on the main question, and a
vote on motion of this nature would
be satisfactory to US. The friends of
free coinage. however, will not be salts
fed with vote of that kind, but insist
on vote of the direct question"
would free silver measure pass the
senator"
1.-The senators do not tell each other
how they are going to vote. Many would
like to know, for instance, which way
Senator Hill will vote" replied Mr..
Sherman.

He did not give them much comfort,
however, as in response to long recital
of their wants he simply expressed his
regret that 1t was out OF his power to do
anything for them, and bowed them out.
