Representative Shively Says They Are For
Gray and That the Latter ID Satisfied.
The action of the Indiana democratic con-
vention yesterday has provoked considerable
discussion at the Capitol, and there is a wide
difference Of opinion as to the meaning Of the
resolutions The assertion that Mr.. Cleveland
is made the first choice OF the Indiana delega-
ton is denied, and the snti-Cleveland men de-
clare that there is nothing in the resolutions
that can be construed into an instruction to
vote for Mr.. Cleveland at any time. They con-
tend that the only instruction is that they pre-
sent the name Of Mr.. Gray, but that in doing
SO they shall make no fight against Mr.. Cleve-
land as long as he is in the race.
The language Of the resolution OF instruc-
ton, it will be observed, is very peculiar II di
reefs that his (Gray's) name be presented to
the convention by the delegation this day sp-
pointed as a direct instruction, and then
qualities it by the further instruction to use
every honorable means to secure his nomins-
ton if Cleveland is out Of the race.
Mr.. Shively of Indiana says that there is no
question about the instructions being to vote
for Mr.. Gray from the first
Mr.. Shively received the following dispatch
from one Of Mr.. Gray's lieutenants at Indian
apolis last night: Eighteen delegates for Gray
and twelve for Cleveland Resolutions per-
fectly satisfactory to Gov. Gray"

What the Republican Silver Senators Have
to Say on the Subject.

to Say on the Subject.
While it is an open secret that the President
is endeavoring to secure an international con-
reticence in regard to the whole subject is
and Treasury departments.
1t is understood that the President has prac-
tically completed arrangements for such con-
ference to be held early next summer and that
invitations will be issued within few weeks.
This knowledge is not received with any dis
play Of enthusiasm by the silver Senators. SEN
ator Stewart is outspoken in his characterize
ton OF the plan as an electioneering device,
absolutely devoid of any honest purpose to
carry out the express declaration Of Congress
in favor of the full remone citation of silver
Senator Teller does not See how the confer
view Of the insurm pu 'e' iimi.a an
ton to be placed upon the confer
ence, according to the reports. 1t is quite
clear that none Of the republican silver Sem
atOrs have been taken into the conf
dence Of the administration in this latest
project. Ono of them says that he
knew that some such plan was in contempis.
ton and that this government had already
made overtures to the governments
OF European countries looking to
a conference, but, as he had
been informed that before any definite propo-
sitions were submitted to the parties
to the conference the silver Senators
would first be consulted, he was sur
prised to learn that there had already
been a practical agreement that absolutely
negatived any idea that the result Of the con-
ference would be-as it was intended by Con-
gress-a restoration of silver to its place
AS a money metal. This Senator limited that
the administration, and not Great Britain, as
reported, had really secured the limita-
ton of the subjects to be passed upon
by the conference to the confederation Of
means to secure the enlarged use of silver as
money, and had prevented the consid-
GRAFTON of the question Of the best
means of securing free coinage
Of silver. He held. and other silver Senators
entertained the same belief, that the confer
ence would come to nothing unless it was al
lowed to consider the free coinage question.

THE ALLEY QUESTION.
II 10 Discussed at Length by the Senate Dis.
trict Committee.

Alleys-wide and narrow, blind" and open,
light and dark, healthy and unhealthy-wers
discussed in the Senate District COMMITTEES
room this morning. Six Senators par
ticipated in this discussion Five Of
them-McMillan, Wolcott, Hansbrough, Harria,
and Barbour-were members of the commit
tee; the sixth was Senator Kenna. who had
been invited to appear. Heretofore Senator
Kenna has believed in thirty-foo alleys, but in
future he will advocate q width Of ct lesss
forty feet His amended position 10 due 70
two causes: First, TO the fact that he found his
thirty-foot proposition supported by the in
tensely speculative element, which, much to
his disgust, looked upon him Its cham
pion. and, secondly, to the truths drawn out
in debate today. 1t was finally decided 70
amend the resolution before the committee by
SO changing IL as To require the District Com
missioners not TO issue any permits Tor build
ings which it might be proposed to erect in
alleys OF width less than 40 feet during the
present session OF Congress.
In the meantime the committee will frame
and endeavor 20 have enacted Q
bill in which the whole subject Of
alleys will be treated so as to best conserve mo-
rality, order and the public health. An inter-
esting feature of the debate was Senator Ken
mas powerful argument for an increased

more than three quarters OF an hour.
