The $4,000 acceptedby this governs
ment from Chile in settlement OF all
damages In the Baltimore riots IN
Valparaiso, are now in the United
States treasury to the credit Of thelsec-
retary OF the navy, but Judging from
present Indications q long time will
elapse before any part OF the sum ts
drawn ont for the purpose OF distribu-
tion among the claimants. This prob.
able delay is mainly due to the opinion
of several OF the government legal adj
yisers that neither the secretary OF the
navy, nor any other federal official, has
sufficient authority to disburse the fund
in q way thatwould fully and etfectually
protect the government from the de-
mandsof such OF the claimant as might
be dissatisfied with their allotment.
Secretary Tracy has expressed grave
doubts on this subject and thetetore
hesitates to assume the responsibility
naturally placed on him. There are
said to be no precedents TO guide the
navy departmentip thismatter.
The Sldr this evening says: Poll
ticians here do not believe that Mr..
Murphy, of New York, can be defeated
for tho United States senate, and they
believe that Nj. Cleveland apprentices
the fact
at present Mr.. Cleveland has no per-
sonal representative in the senate who
is long experienced and in a position to
act asleader. Should he succeed in the
election OF a personal friend in New
York it would not improve the situa-
ton greatly as no now man, however
capable, can figure very prominently IN
that body.
Mr.. Cleveland will, however, have
strong personal friend In the senate by
the time the Fifty-third Congress will
be organized unless all present plans
miscarry. This will be Mr.. Bayard, OF
Delaware, in all probability. It's ex-
pected that Senator Gray Will 20 into
the cabinet, though he Is at present
disincli1ed to do So His retirement
from the senate will mean the election
Of Mr.. Bayard.
