NOT TO BOOM HARRISON.
A BANQUET FOR 1000 AT $40 A
PLATE ABANDONED.

II Was Proposed to Hold 1t in Madi-
SON square Garden, New York, and
Make it the Greatest Banquet Ever
Held-Chauncey NJ. Depew the Faith
or OF the Scheme.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-The meeting of
she republican national committee, which
Chairman Carter wanted held this month
10 prepare for the campaign of 1896 in the
interest of the denomination of President
Harrison. has been postponed until after
March by the Influence OF Senators Quay,
Johns, F. Clarkson, Mr.. Manley and other
anti Harrison men in the conferences held
here and in New York during the past week
on the subject 1t will probably be held
about the same time as the meeting of the
national league of republican clubs, which
is to be held in Louisville in
May, and is to be the
greatest republican meeting ever held
in q southern city. It will not be Har-
rison demonstration, the intentions of the
managers being to treat President Har-
rison as being out Of consideration after
March 4.
1t appears that tbs ti>Harrisoniaus on
the committee had a narrow escape. IL
was proposed by Chauncey Depew and
other friends Of President Harrison to give,
Just before or just after March 4, in the
Madison Square Garden, New York,
under the auspices OF the national commit
tee, the Union League of New York, the
Union League of Philadelphia, the
Republican Club of Massachusetts,
and other republican organizations, the
greatest banquet ever given in America
Covers for over 1900 at $50 apiece we're
proposed, and speeches by all the republican
leaders, the purpose being to boom Presi-
dent Harrison for 1896. The proposition
was suggested to the national committee
men and President Harrison got wind of it
soon after. While the anti -Hnrrisonians
on the committee were trying to discourage
1t they heard that President Harrison knew
of it, so they felt bound to present the mat
ter to President Harrison. He seemed
to be delighted with it at first,
but asked day to consider. On
the morrow, 10 the great relief
OF the anti-Hsrrisonians, President Harri-
son said that on second thought he thought
the project had better be abandoned. In
view of personal bereavement he would
not enjoy bsnqueting, and besides the de-
feat in November was a party and not q
peIsonal one, and there was no occasion for
a personal demonstration in the nature of
consolation to himself. They smiled at the
way In which he put it, but they were glad
he did not want the banquet.

Lode las Seen Its Best Days.
SAN FRANCISCO, OAL., Jan. 14.-One Of
the signs that the bottom has really dropped
out Of the great Comstock lode is the tele-
graphic order from D. o. Mills, now In
New York, to suspend publication next
Sunday Of the Virginia City Territorial
Enterprise. the Oldest newspaper In Nevada,
which for twenty-five years mas been con-
trolled by the bonanza millionaires and
the Bank of California. 1t was the organ OF
these people. For over ten years the paper
has not paid expenses. The Enterprise had
the honor Of serving as kindergarten for
most Of the noted California writer's With
the exception Of Bret Harte, all have
served on this Nevada paper. Mark Twain,
Joaquin Miller and Dan de guile were re-
porters in the early days, and some OF
Twain's best stories first saw the light in
the Enterprise.

An Electrical Company Wants It's
Plant Admitted Free of Duty.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-There was an
outcropping Of the tariff this morning dur
ing the hearing before the committee on
ways and means on bill which contem-
plates governmental assistance to the Chi
cago and st. Louis electric railway. The
company was represen ed by Dr. Yelling
ton Adams, who urged the passage of a bill
admitting the entry free of duty, of the ir
electrical apparatus and steel rails. He ad-
vanced the argument that this should be
done to foster a pioneer enterprise, and cited
instances where congress had done 30 In the
past. This led Mr.. Turner, dem, to remark
that this might then be considered as an
application of "the idea OF building up new
industries on the principles of free trade"
Mr.. Reed, who came in late, when told
what the hearing was abods, only observed
that If corporations did not desire to buy
their material in this country they ought
not to build here.
