Waiting on Salisbury.

WASHINGTON, March l5-The cabinet
meeting was attended by all the members
except Blaine, Foster and Noble. The
Bering sea question was referred to Incl
dentally. It is pretty we'll settled that
nothing further will be done in this matter
until Salisbury replies to the Presidents
note Of the 8th inst, insisting on the re-
newal Of the modus vivendi. If response
from Salisbury is not soon received it is
understood the president will call the at
tentlon of the British minister here to the
fact that the government is awaiting Sails
bury's reply and asking that the matter be
brought to his attention

mousse ~ determining to consider the free
coinage bill az much as does President
Harrison. The president had hoped
that no action would be taken, 90 that il
would not be necessary for him to put him
self on record BY vetolnR the bill, as he
will have to do if it passes both houses of
congress. as now seems inevitable. He was
so much worried about the matter that he
sent w,rd to Ex-Speaker Reed and other
leaders on the republican side urging them
to act with the opponents of free coinage
on the ether side Of the house in securing
postponement. Mr.. Reed and some of
the other republicans in the house are not
averse to making Mr.. Harrison uncomf mfort-
able, and they would do nothing to help
him ont Tbs republicans in the senate
would also like to postpone it until after
the elections, for they realize that if the
bill goes to the senate from the house it
will find its chief advocates on the repub-
lican side Of the chamber, and will be
passed By the votes of republican senators.
1t Will show that the republicans are as
bndly divided as the democrats on The Sill

THE OLD ROMAN.
Thinks Cleveland as Strong rs Ever viii
the PannIe.

Thinks Cleveland as Strong as Ever With
the People.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 15.-Ex- Senator
Allen G. Thurman recently expressed his
views on the question Of the presidency to
m old friend. MT. Thurman thought that
beyond all doubt Mr. Cleveland repre-
sents the best interests Of the country to a
greater degree than is enjoyed BY any llv-
or, the merchant the banker, the laborinR
man, as we'll as the manufacturer, Mr..
Cleveland ia strong where other democrats,
possibly more brilliant. moro successful SO
far rs politics enter into and make what ID
by some regarded as Craftsmanship, are
weak and wavering. Mr.. Cleveland gave
TO the country an administration that for
straightforward and rigid honesty of pur-
pose has never been surpassed and seldom
equalled. The very best element in the
republican party has been honest enough
to coucede this upon more than one ocoa-
sion. 1t IL not necessary at this time to
give reasons why Mr.. Cleveland should re-
ceive the nomination for the presidency at
the hands of his party. These reasons are
TO certain extent presented to US every
day. and occasionally in manner more
forcible than might be desired, by men
that have been born and brought up in
the democratic faith.
Nlf. CleVelanu mas given the democratic
party an issue-an issue which still exists,
and upon which the party is united az ono
man. While it is true that Mr.. Cleveland
was defeated for reelection, he was not
beaten because of his stand for tariff re-
form, but for other causes that are not
necessary to refer to at this time. This is
clearly demonstrated by the fact that al
though Mr.. Cleveland went down in de-
feat, the issue lives and will continue to
live until the evils complained of are cor
rected, which can never be until that party,
pledged to a reform of the tariff, ia again
in control of the government.
There is to my mind but one course for
the democratic party to take. Its duty is
plain. In the event that Mr.. Cleveland al
lows his name to be presented before the
Chicago convention, the right thing to do
would he to nominate him by acclamation
and leave the result to the people. for by
them must the victory be won. The logic
of the situation points in that direction,
and it is manifest with the people, regard
less of party, Grover Cleveland is stronger
than he he was four or eight years ago."

This morning the Commissioners gave aIhear-
ing to a number Of parties interested in House
bill 1856, for the construction of the District

were DR.. G. G. Stone, Guion Miller A. NJ
Stabler Frank b. MetZerott. DR.. +. Thomas, J.
Enos Ray. R. H. Miller, E. Everett Rapley and
A. q. Thomas.
Mr.. Guion Miller acted as spokesman for the
party, and explained that the road desired.
after reaching the District line, to use either
of the following routes:
First. beginning at point In the city of
Washington, District of Columbia. at the inter-
section of Florida avenue and New York ave-
nue. and exte nding parallel with the line of the
Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad to point about one mile from said
Florida avenue; thence leaving the line
of the said Baltimore and Ohio railroad
going in a northerly course to the northeastern
boundary line of the District of Columbia at or
near the intersection of the said boundary line
and the Sargent road, as may hereafter be sur
veyed and agreed upon by and between the
parties named herein or their successors and
the Commissioners Of the District of Co
lumbia; or, second. beginning at point
at or near University station. on the
said Metropolitan branch of the Baiti-
more and Ohio railroad. and extending

and would provide railroad facilities
for a section of Maryland, which was known as
the garden spot of Montgomery county, IA local
ity which lay between the Metropolitan and the
main branch of the Baltimore ard
Ohio railroad, and which was practically
without outlet The length of the road
would be sixteen or eighteen miles. and it was
proposed to use the trolley system of overhead
wires. Should the first route be selected the
capital stock would be $50. 900. and twice that
sum should the second be determined upon.
Mr.. X. II. Miller and Mr. A. G. Thomas Of
Maryland explained the great necessity for
such road stating tina. there We're great dairy
and lumber interes which would be advanced
by it, DR.. Stone also advocated the read.

THE MEXICAN BORDER.
The Secretaries of State and War and Attor-
ney General Working In Harmony.


The Secretaries of State and War and Attor-
ney General Working In Harmony.
Gen. Grant, acting secretary of war. said to
q STAR reporter today that 1t Is absolutely I'M
true that there is lack of harmony between the
Department of Justice and the State and War
Departments growing ont of the condition of
affairs along the Mexican frontier
He was corroborated in this by Secretary
Foster and Attorney General Miller, each Of
whom was interviewed on the subject by a STAR
man. There Is, however, considerable specula-
ton as to the object Of Capt. Bourke's recent
visit to Washington and an effort is being made
to give it undue Importance
1t is learned today that his mission was
strictly secret one and that its object would
be defeated by its becoming known just at
present.
1t can. however, be stated positively that
Capt. Bourke does not carry back to Texas any
instructions regarding the plan Of campaign
and that all orders on that subject will con-
tinue to be issued through General Wheaton,
the commanding general of the Depart
ment OF Texas. In fact. that officer has
already been given general instructions to pur-
sue most vigorous campaign along the border
and endeavor, with the aid of the three additional
troops sent him, to capture or destroy all per-
sons engaged in the revolutionary movement
who are discovered violating the international
laws. The details will be left to Gen. Wheaton
to work out.
1t is now believed that the principal object Of
the department in calling for Capt. Bourke
to get statement from him of what had taken
place in the past. and not upon plans of the
future. This he first made verbally In a short
interview with Secretary Elkins and Gen. Scho-
heid, and afterward put it in writing for the
information of Secretary Elkins upon his re-
turn TO Washington, probably tomorrow.

Alexandria on the 9th of January, but
finally they, too, agreed to come to Washing
ton and Deputy Marshal Geo. W. Hawkshurst
accompanied by the officer named, embarked
on the Richmond train with all four of them
bound for Washington. and at o'clock deliv-
cred them to the District officials.
