Mr.. Cleveland Does Not Expect q Consulta-
ton With Him.
NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-Speaker Crisp arrived
in the city this morning at eight o'clock. Con-
siderable interest attaches to his visit to New
York at this time as it has been publicly an
nounced that he was coming to confer with
President-elect Cleveland in reference to Mr..
Crisps reelection Speaker of the House and
other matters of national importance.
After breakfast Speaker Crisp left the hotel
alone. He did not go to MIR. Cleveland's house.
and il he went anywhere else to see Mr.. Cleve-
land he failed in mis- object. for the next Presi-
dent remained home all the morning.
Mr.. Cleveland seen soon after IL O'Clock
and asked about the expected conference which
he was to hold with the Speaker.
The President-elect smiled in a weary sort Of
a manner as he replied: II know nothing of any
conference to take place between Mr.. Crisp and
myself beyond what have read in the news
papers. They seem to know all about it. The
Speaker has not told me what he was coming to
New York for. If he has come"
Mr.. Cleveland declined to say whether he ex-
pected call from Mr.. Crisp today, but left it
he say what subjects would most likely come up
for discussion in case he and the Speaker did
meet.
Politicians say that the Mills men are making
SO open a fight against Speaker Crisp's re-elec-
ton that the latter has come to New York to
assure himself of Mr.. Cleveland's support.
Speaker Crisp is strongly in favor of extra
session of Congress and is quoted as saving
that he would. while in New York this time,
frankly lay his views before Mr.. Cleveland on
the subject.

ABLE FINANCIERING,
How Representative Bacon Saved a Bank
That Was Almost Wrecked.

How Representative Bacon Saved a Bank
That Was Almost Wrecked.
If Mr. Cleveland can get Secretary of the
Treasury capable of such feat in national
finances as Representative Bacon Of New York
has accomplished in relation to the bank at
Goshen, n. Y, in which he is interested, the
administration will be safe.
When Mr.. Bacon returned from the Chicap 90
convention he went directly to his home to
seek needed rest The first thing when he
arrived in his town he was met with the an
nouncement that the cashier, on whose bond he
was as county treasurer, was short in his ac-
counts and had gone; that number Of others
on the inside of the bank had been spending
money faster than the bank could make it, and
that there was financial crash imminent
Without going to his home Mr.. Bacon took the
matter in hand. He found that all the banks
reserve and so per cent of its capital stock was
gone He at once acquired enough Of the
stock to place himself in control. got rid of
those OF the old force who had not before that
taken their departure, surrounded himself with
the best new men he could get and set to work
to save the bank. 1t was after midnight when
he got to his home. but he had started the work
of resuscitation. Since then he has directed the
management Of affairs. The bank is again on
its feet, and more than that, is prosperous. He
told a STAR reporter today, after some one else
had related the story, that the bank was TODAY
in better condition than ever before in its
history

THE OVERDUE UMBRIA

NEWS FROM THE RIO GRANDE
NOTHING HEARD OF THE UMBRIA.

u is Now Over Ten Days since She Left
Queenstown.
NEW YORK. Dec. 2S.--At 80 O'Clock nothing
had been heard of the Umbria, which Is now
ten and one-half days at sea from Queenstown,
the longest she has ever spent on the passage.
375 passengers and $50 men. including officers,
engineers. firemen and servants. OF her pas
scugers 1870 were in her saloon.
Vernon II. Brown, the agent Of the Cunard
line in this city is not nervous regarding the
delay IL due to an accident to her
machinery and to the rough weather.
The steamer is under command of Capt Hor-
alto Mckay. vice commander of the Cunard fleet
aad one of the most careful commanders afioat.
The Cunard people have every confidence in
his ability and discretion and are satisfied that
the Umbria could not be in. better hands.
Mr.. Brown said this morning there were very
good reasons for her delay, which should cause
anxiety to any one Capt. Mckay might
have decreased the speed of the boat to
prevent damage, and secure for the
passengers much comfort as possible.
Another and powerful reason for slowing down
might be the necessity for economy in the use
of coal. 1t was quite possible, in Mr.. Brown s
opinion, that Capt. Mckay had found that the
coal was getting low and that. anticipating a
longer voyage than usual, he had ordered the
speed of the steamer lessened.
The fact that the Umbria is overdue causes
anxiety among those who have friends aboard.
and a number called today at the Cunard Office
for information. Their fears were quieted by
the agents confidence in the staunchness of the
ship and the ability of the captain.

The American Association OF Educators Of

Ex-Mavor Hall welcomed the association in
behalf of the city; Prof. VI. C. s. Doble. super
b. Dudley for the teachers. Rev. A. Z. Tor

Responses were made by Prof J. NJ. Greg
DRY. president. of Washington, ID. c.. Third
Vice President J. III. Johnston of Virginia
Prof II. f. Webster of Georgia and Prof. W.
II. Council. Alabama.
The expressions of ex-Mayor Hall in his ad-
Dress referring to the fact that III the state of
North Carolina efforts to suppress popular cdu-
cation among negroes had met with deter
mined and skillful opposition upon the part of
the leading men of the state, met with n
very warm approval.
The president of the association. in his
speech. expressed the hope that the many
advancement made by Christian men and
women of both races in the south would receive
the publicity and consideration it deserved.
This remark was happily received.
A noticeable feature of all the speeches made

THE CHILE INDEMNITY.
The Matter Will Probably be Referred to
Congress.

The Matter Will Probably be Referred to
Congress.
The $4,000 accepted by this government
from Chile in settlement of all damages in the
Baltimore riot in Valparaiso are now in the L.
$. Treasury to the credit of the Secretary of the
Navy, but judging from present indica-
lions long time will elapse before any part
OF the sum is drawn out for the purpose
of distribution among the claimants. This
probable delay is mainly due to the opinion of
several OF the governments legal advisers that
the Secretary of the Navy nor any other federal
official has sufficient authority to disburse the
fund in a way that would fully and effectuallv
protect the government from the demands of
such of the claimants as might be dissatis-
fed with their allotment. Secretary Tracy
has expressed grave doubts on this subject
himself and, therefore. hesitates to assume the
responsibility naturally placed on him 1t was
at first thought he would appoint a board of
naval officers to consider all the claims
on file in connection with the Baltimore
affair and to report plan for
an equitable pro rata distribution of
the fund. A discussion of such a course
developed all sorts of possible legal complica-
lions and technicalities, with the result that it
has been temporarily abandoned. and the Sec
President to refer the matter to Congress with
a view to the enactment of special legislation
which will insure the distribution of the award
in proper legal form and at the same time re-
duce the prospects of future litigation in regard
thereto to a minimum. There are said to be no
precedents TO guide the Navy Department in
this matter.

The Ex-Champion's Backer Tells Ugly
Things About the Big Fighter.
When John L. Sullivan sent broadside at
James Wakely the other day it riled the ex-
champions former hacker. Some of the things
Wakely said about John wouldn't look well in
print.
''Of all the ingrates who ever lived on this
earth Sullivan is the worst" was Wakely's
opening remark. HE is the biggest no account
champion this country ever had. For twenty
five years I've been dealing with fighting men
and can say now truthfully that Sullivan is
the only one among the lot whose word
wouldn't take. He doesn't know what it is to
tell the truth.

licked Sullivan the best day that worthy ever

Sullivan is talking through his hat about
being drugged. Any man who saw the fight
knows that. He was whipped by man who
could give him cards and spades at any time
