CONSULTATION.
While the cabinet. as a body, did not as
semble for deliberations to-day. the joint
presence of Secretaries Blaine. Elkins ana
Tracy at the white house this afternoon
bore strong resemblance to a meeting of the
cabinet. They remained in conference
with the President for a long time, and
Gen. j. W. Foster was called In for CONSUL
ta5ion. The discussion related generally TO
the Chilean affair, but the question most
directly under consideration was the char
acter Of the Presidents message to con-
gress.
Senior Montt, the Chilean minister, was
at the state department to-day and had a
short interview with Assistant Secretary
Adee, bat it is understood he had nothing
important to communicate.
MAKING READY THE MONITORS.
RICHMOND, VA. Jan. 2O-Orders have
been received here from the Secretary Of
the Navy instructing Commodore Graham

the entire fleet Of seven vessels will soon be
sent to Norfolk for certain armament pre-
paratory to being placed in service.
MAY CARRY COAL TO THE SHIPS.
PENSACOLA, FLA, Jan. 20.-The light
house supply steamer America, which makes
an annual tour of the coast from Maine 10
Mexico, is now In this harbor bound west
There Is great stir and hustle on board Of
her, growing out of orders Just received to
complete here present mission as quickly as
possible and return to New York. 1t Is
inferred therefrom by those on board
that she is TO be dispatched to
the South Atlantic with coal and stores
for the ships Of the navy now in those
waters or that may be sent in view Of an ap-
preaching conflict with Chile. While every
other navy yard in the country is a scene Of
great activity in the excitemens incident to
the possibility OF war scarcely a nail is
driven in the Pensacola yard. just enough
laborers are employed therein to keep the
building in repair and these have work in
finding work to perform.

fishing Company, aud James Mills, editor ,

and the greatest interest," was manifested
in the proceedings. When thelcetfrt was

their counsel. Upon the opening of court
the counsel for the defense asked for a post
ponement on the ground that important
witnesses were absent, bat after discussion
the motion was overruled. The work of
selecting jury consumed two hours time
and also almost exhausted the panel Of sixty
Jurors. Finally, after much wranplinR
twelve men were chosen. % 55aN
i WANTED THE INDICTMENTS ouAsFTFD.
Mr.. McCook, attorney for the defense
then moved TO ouash the indictments in the
cases for the reasons that it was not alleged
in the indictments that the publications
complained of we're untrue; thatsRd publi-
cations were false to the kno owledpe of the
defendants; that the alleged libels were
maDclously published, or that the publica-
tions were written and published malic-
iously. The motion was denied and the trial
proceeded.
The counsel for the prosecution read the
publication In the Post, upon which the suit
was brought, and In closing intimated That
the prosecution would merely show that the
allegations In the Indictment were correct
and then the case would be rested In order
to give the defense an opportunity to prove
what they said is true.
The court adjourned until tomorrow.

returned to-day and after he had received
the congratulations of half the Senate he
had consultation with Chairman Brice

cratic national committee with respect to
the selection of the convention city and of
the date Of the convention, and the decision
Of the other questions coming before it,
especially those relating to seats In the COM
mittee. The national committeeman, most
of whom have arrived, and the convention
city boomers, all of whom are here, spent
the day and evening trying to find out what
the senatorial syndicate had determined, but
up to late hour without result, except that
they were given to understand that June
81, two weeks after the republican conven-
tion. had been determined upon as the day
Of the convention. They gathered, too, that
the senatorial syndicate we're satisfied that
New York could no more get the conven-
tion than San Francisco, and that they
favored Chicago. However, they had not
apparently finally determined to press
Chicago on the committee. They want to
select the convention city without friction
and may, if pushed, take one Of the smaller
cities. Chicago, anxious not to make
enemies to its $5000,00 worlds fair appro-
priation proposition. may be frightened by
the small city men into refusing peremp-
torily the costly and dangerous honor.

ATLANTA. Ga, Jan. 2O.-The Metropoli-
tan street railway has been put m the hands
of a receiver. The bill was fled by the
Consolidated Street Railroad Company yes
terday and the application was granted this
afternoon about 8:3o o'clock by Judge
Clarke. Arnold Broyles was appointed re-
celver and took charge OF the property i'm
mediately. The lines embraced are the
Grant Park dummy lines and the
Washiugton and PulliAm street horse car
line. The public has been under the I'm
preston that the Metropolitan line had
been merged into the Consolidated compa-
nys various roads. but such seems not TO
have been the case. However, it has been
operated by she same board Of directors
with Joel Hurt as presidents OF both oom-
panies.
NOT PAYING EXPENSES.
Whom the consolidation of the street rail-
ways was effected IL was found that the
metropolitan was not paying its running
expenses, let alone the interest on its bonded
indebtedness, and II was decided to run the
road separate aud distinct under its old
charter. For some time past the Consoli-
dated company has been putting I'D the
money TO run the road in the vain hope that
1t would In the end prove a paying piece Of
property. In this way, so IL is said, the
Metropolitan is now indebted TO the Con-
solidated about $50, 900. Had IL not been
for this temporary assistance tho road would
have succombed to the financial pressure
some time ago.
COUPONS UNPAID.
The last January coupons have not been
