WASHINGTON, Jan. Yesterdays
New York Sun says:
Chicago will play the same game that she
did with the Republican committee, and is
more hopeful this time of success She will
not ask for the convention, but she hopes to
get it just the same, and the politicians gen.
orally who are not tied down to any particu-
lar city rather hope SO, too. The reports
that come from Minneapolis about the al
most absolute impossibility of securing de-
sired and required accommodations are
hurting the chances of st. Paul and the
other small towns. Such reports as
these have within the last few
in favor of taking the convention to one of
the large cities-New York or Chicago. and
it is not improbable that the frst-named city
may walk off with the prize without making
a struggle. 1t is too early yet, however, to
form an opinion as to the prevailing senti-
ment Milwaukee and Detroit have a great

it is said to be fact that the advocates of

Chicago is making still hunt and making
every possible effort TO give currency to the
rumOrs that in hotel and telegraphie facIli-
ties Minneapolis is seriously deficient, and
hoping thus to build a sentiment that will
send the convention to the Windy City.
This was read and commented on at
the hotel Hobbies and at the several
headquarters, and every time st. Paul
worker began the clipping would be
thrust in his face. To make matters
still worse the New York Herald, in
discussing the situation, has this fling
at Minneapolis:
AS to ST. Paul. thereis very decided OBJ
lection to her having the convention, on &C.
count OF her inability to handle the crowd
Minneapolis was only given the Republican
convention upon the ground that, together
with ST. Paul, ten miles away, she could
handle the crowd. Later developments do
not make good this promise. There is
already widespread dissatisfaction. Those
who have applied to Minneapolis for hotel
accommodations during the Republican CON
yentlon have in no case met with salts
factory response. AS far as accommodations
go both Milwaukee and Kansas city can offer
much better inducements to them.

CENTER OF POPULATION.
The Point on Which Indianapolis
Makes Its Fight.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 19. Congressman
Bynum, Shively and most of the other
Democratic members of the Indiana con-
greSSiOnal delegation are lending cordial
assistance to the indianapolis gentle
men who are laboring so earnestly to
secure the convention for the Hoosler
capital. This city guarantees conven-
ton hall of $1,000 capacity, and posted
around the room are pictures of the
leading hotels Of the city. The hotel and
boarding house facilities are claimed to
be sufficient for the accommodation of
$4,000 people. A circular issued by the
delegation states that Indianapolis,
with her sixteen railroads, is with
in few miles of the exact
center of population, and is nearer and
has more direct connection with a
larger number of cities of more than
$4,000 population than any other city In
America. Nearly third of the entire
population of the country is within a
days ride of indianapolis. and it is the
equi-distant point for those who must
come from outside this radius. An ag-
gregate saving i'll mileage amounting to
upwards of half million dollars can
be made. it is claimed, by holding the
convention here. A special plea is made
to the press, and it is claimed that an
advantage of the indianapolis telegraph
offices is that, on account of the location
of the city, they have the largest facili-
ties for sending matter I'D all directions,
east, west, north and south, at the same
time. The superintendent of the two
companies estimate that they could send
100000 words of press matter daily, in
addition to the large private message

Startling Rumor Of a Quarrel
Between Harrison and

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The Post
will say tomorrow: 1t is learned on
good authority that the state depart
ment received information from the
Gillian government that the country
was ready and willing to make repara-
ton for all losses to life. limb and honor
suffered by American sailors.
WASHINGTON, JAM. 10. = Notwtih-
standing the existence of strong reasons
to believe that the Gillian incident has
taken favorable turn, the most dill
gent inquiry fails to secure any official
confirmation of the receipt of dispatches
of peaceful tenor. On the other hand,
one member of the cabinet this after
noon declared that there was mo
change in the situation" The president
did not pursue the discussion after Sec
rotary Blaine's retirement from the
cabinet meeting, so that any dispatches
he may have had in his possession could
not be fully considered at that time. 1t
is understood, however, that the subject
will be taken up at the point where its
discussion was interrupted when the
cabinet meets again, which may be to-
morrow, and in the meantime the CORE
spondence will be withheld from con-
gress.
1t is learned officially tonight that the
presidents message on this subject will
not be sent to congress tomorrow. While
official information on this point does
not extend beyond tomorrow, there are
strong surface indications that The
president has practically determined TO
postpone final action on this matter un-
til next week, and this gives color to
the belief that conciliatery dispatches
have already been received and that
more are expected. 1t is known that
the president would strongly indorse
any proposition for a settlement of the
questions at issue on peaceful basis
consistent with the honor and dignity of
the nation.

erOSitY,

crosby.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19-There was
lull in the talk today with reference to
the Gillian matter OH the house side of
the capitol. The disposition was to
await the receipt of the presidents mes
sage before endeavoring to form any
decided opinions on the subject. The
feeling expressed was nearly all on the
side of disbelief in war as the probable
outcome of the trouble.
A number of Democratic representa-
tives who were talked with deprecated
war with SO small nation as Chill.
and said the United States is large and
strong enough to afford to overlook
great many things rather than proceed
to extremities. Chill. they say, had
only 5000, 600 people to our 10000, 900,
and they were as whole poor. only
partly civilized and without a strong
government.
During the afternoon it was rumored
that Great Britain had INTERVIEWED and
offered heUgoOd offices to bring about
peaceful adjustment of the relations
between the two countries. No official
confirmation of this rumor could
be obtained, but it found credence
with many from the fact that it
had been anticipated that an amicable
arrangement might be reached through
the friendly interposition of some third
nation. and Great Britain, with her vast
material interests In Chill, was looked
upon as most likely to be the interven-
ing power.
A difference of opinion was mani
tested as to whether or not the United
States ought to accept the mediation of
any third party without an expression
from Chill of regret at the lawless acts
of her citizens and disavowal of official
connection or sympathy with them. One
member said that the United States
first receiving an apology from Chill,
and that he did not believe President
Harrison was willing to do so.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Secretary
Tracy had very busy morning before
he went to the cabinet meeting today.
Soon after reaching his office he had a
long conference with Senator Cameron,
chairman of the senate naval commit
tee. The secretary was also today in
consultation, as usual of late, with his
stall officers on various matters con-
corning the present operations of the
department. Among them were Com
modoreS Ramsey and Folger, of the
bureau of ordnance and navigation:
Capt Mahan and Commodore Chadwick.
Commander Evans. of the Yorktown,
today informed the navy department
that the Gillian steamer Esmeralda left
the port of Valparaiso at 1 o'clock this
morning to go to the assistance of the
British mail steamship John Alder,
which Is reported ashore 100 miles south
of Valparaiso. That his dispatch made
no allusiOn whatever to the Yorktown's
having been fired on is taken as an alb
solute refutation Of the rumor to that
effect circulated last evening.

sailed south from the Barbados. pre-
sumably for Montevideo. This indi-
Gates general naval movement of i'm
portance, as the station lines OF the

There is considerable speculation as
to who would be placed in command of
the naval force in the Pacific in case of
war, but the general opinion centers
upon Rear Admiral Kimberly, who is at
the head of the active list. He is now
on shore duty in this city.

CHICAGO OUT OF 1T.
And the Other Eight Contestants
Rejoice Accordingly.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The formal
announcement that Chicago is not to be
considered an aspirant for the conven-
tiCn has inspired all the delegations
from other cities with exuberant conf
dence, and the contest tonight presents
a scene of unusual activity. If there is
single city in the country that has not
commodious accommodations for at
least 10000 more people than the order
calls for, that particular city has failed
to put in bid for the convention.
Chairman Durburrow, OF the worlds
fair committee, who was largely influ-
ential in quelling some of the enthusl-
astic friends of Chicago, said:
I'VE have given our word long ago
that Chicago was not after the conven-
ton. 1t would be indelicate for us now
to make fight for it. We are counting
upon the good will of too many other
cities and states for the $1,000, 600 APP
preparation for the worlds fair.''
although l think it wise for Chicago
to make no contest" said Mr.. Springer,
yeti think she should be prepared to
receive the convention in case the honor
should be extended to her. Her promi-
nent citizens should be prepared to
make the same pledges and assurance
of accommodation that were made in
1884. But she should make no request.
The initiative should come from with
out. not from within, from the commit
tee, in case other cities are not deemed
SO desirable, and not from Chicago"

answer to the people who are so foolish

No Delay Allowed in Making Them
Ready

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 19.-Efforts to
prepare the war ships at Mare island
for sea service were redoubled today,
and by far the largest force of men
since the close of the War of the Re-
bellion is now working day and night.
Electric light plants have been set up,
enabling the men to work in the docks
at night without cessation, ana large
force of outside machiniSts were re-
ported at the yards today to complete
work upon the wooden feet as we'll as
upon the steel cruisers.
The wooden ships Adams, Ranger
and Nipsie have been asked for by the
navy department. The Mohican is
ready ana can leave the yard at any
time, having her crew and stores on
board. Naval officials refuse to discuss
matters concerning what IS likely to be
done. The Charleston is expected here,
and she will go into dock at once. Her
hull will be cleaned, and every atten-
ton paid to her machinery. The Balti-
more is in the stream, and a force of
W0rkmen on board.
Inside of month the yard can be
cleared of all the vessels now here in

view of the fact that she was to have
