NOT pr GEN. .cLARKsoN's ADVICE.
The Chairman Of tho Republican Committee
Has Taken No Sides i'm the Local Fight;


Has Taken No Sides i'm the Local Fight;
Gen. J. s. GARRISON, chairman OF the execu-
tive committee of the republican committee,
arrived in this city last night. Immediately
after reaching here he went to the Arlington,
where he engaged a quite of rooms. From the
time that his arrival in the city became known
he was overwhelmed by callers who wanted to
talk with him on n thousand and one things.
Notwithstanding this fact he found time to dis
cuss the political situation in Washington with
a STAR reporter who sent UP his card
late this afternoon. The statement
was made today, apparently upon good
authority, that the Carson clement i'll local re-
publicanism acted by the advice Of Gen. Clark
son when they called meeting of the republic
can committee for yesterday morning and that
they had his support in the matter. InlS Gen.
GARRISON denied most emphatically in his con-
versation with the reporter this afternoon.
The statement that i was or am back OF
either faction IL this fight in Washington is alb
solutely without foundation" said the political
leader, when the Question was put to
him point blank by his caller. Il know
nothing about the details of the fight
beyond what / have seen in print. l saw the
full account of the various mass meetings held
Tuesday evening that was given in The STAR
last evening, and judging by the amount OF
space that was devoted to them l came
TO the CONCLUSION tnat tue matter Wis
of good deal of local importance in Wash
ington. As to the merits of the fight that
seems to be on between the Chase and the
Carson factions really know absolutely moth
ing.
Furthermore" continued the general. on
being further questioned by THE STAR man, 81
do not see how the difficulty can DO settled be-
fore the national convention III Minneap-
oils. When the national committee met
in this city call was issued for
tho republicans Of the District of Columbia to
meet and elect their delegates to tho national
convention. l appointed special subcom-
mittee to issue the call and 10 prescribe
the manner Of holding the election, and
the faction that has followed out these
directions is presumably the one that will be
recognized at the national convention. So far
as know the first time tho matter will be
formally brought up will be just before the
in Minneapolis, when the
executive committee is called upon
to make up the roll Of the
delegates. This will be before
the report of the credential committee is made,
and will be subject to the revision of that COM
mittee. OF course ] am not in a position to say
which faction In this city has followed out the
provisions of tho call or that either faction has
done So and this Is really all that know in the

that they were in a hurry, as Miss Atwells
father was giving them n hot chase. Under the
circumstances license was refused them and
they were making pref arations to board train
for New York state when the old gentleman
arrived. The would-be groom retired to a
respectful distance, while the girl and her
father argued the matter all over the station
platform. The young lady, as pretty as a pic

should not return unless as Mrs. Ghost. A

Mr.. Chase Protests Against m Appoint
ment on the petectiye Eorce.

ATs Nhhse frotesb against m appoint
ment on the Detective Force.
The complication in District politics has man.
ifested itself at the District buildings. In the
gossip concerning the republican convention
Commissioner Douglass name has been used
quite freely as a possible candidate for the
honor Of representing the District republicans
in the Minneapolis convention.
Before the election of delegates to the cen
trail committee both sides favored Commits
sioner Douglass as one of the delegates, but
representatives of each faction said that if
Mr.. Douglass would only appoint Henry Lacey,
one of the ward leaders. to a position on
the detective force his election would be GER
tain. Mr.. Lacey was one of the delegates
elected at the recent election, but since that
time he had come out openly a Carson man.
1t Is now said that if Mr.. Douglass appoints
Lacey to a position On the detective force he
will not get the support of the Chase men.
Today Chase called upon the Commissioners
and presented a letter protesting against The
appointment of Lacey. saying that 1t would not
meet the approval of the colored people OF this
city. He makes a number of statements con-
corning Lacey's past life in support of his pro-
test

AN ABSURD RUMOR.
A Statement That Caused Much Amusement
at the Navy Department.

Great amusement was created at the Navy
Department today by the appearance of a
statement in an Out-of-town paper to the effect
that the government has purchased the steam
ships Ohio Indiana, Illinois and Pennsylvania,
built in Philadelphia some years ago for the
American Steamship Company. 1t was said
they were to be used as transports.
Such rumor, say the officials, is absurd on
its face. The government has no more right
to purchase vessels Unfortunately without
the specific authority of Congress than
the Secretary Of Agriculture can borrow a
million dollars from the treasury for the pur-
chase OF breed hogs with which to bull the
foreign market. The cases are quite analogous.
A similar rumor was in circulation n few
days ago asserting that the government had
purchased twelve torpedo boats in England.
such an action would also need congressional
consent.
So far the only things passed by the House
ard Senate have been time and a resolution to
pay salaries.
