IT'S A GIRL AFTER ALL
TIE President In Favor Of an Uncondl.
tional Repeal Of Her Sex.
ALL HANDS WANTED A BOY
But tho Policy Of This AdminIstra-
tion Doesn't Always Hit II
Right-Rock-a-bye Eaby In
the White Houso.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 9.-Mrs. Cleveland
gave birth to-day to q baby girl at noon.
Mother and child are doing well. Ii was
more than an hour after the baby was
born before anyone outside the white
house was aware of tho fact. The affair
was kept q close secret until Dr. Bryant
was convinced that the mother had un-
dcrgone the ordeal safely and the baby well
and sound. When given out the news
quickly spread over the city and was the
subject of conversation In the lobbies OF
all tire hotels aud many houses. Though
tho press has estimated at times that Mrs.
Cleveland would become q mother, the
birth Of the baby to-day was q source of
surprise. Mrs. Cleveland was out driving
last evening. She bowed frequently to
passing friends and acquaintances and
appeared in excellent health and spirits.
The baby was born exactly at high noon,
just as the ball on the flagstaff of tho
state. war and navy buildings, opposite
the white house, dropped from the top Of
the staH. From time to time during the
morning the president was quietly ad-
vised as to the condition of affairs in the
sick room. aud exactly at II o'clock DIR.
Bryant summoned him from the reception
room and made the important announce
ment. The smile on the doctors face and
the reassurinR pressure of tho hand told
him that his wife was safe and without
pausing he asked, 'Is it boy OF girl?'
Something like shadow OF disappoint-
ment swept across Cleveland's face rs the
physician told him the newborn babe was
girl. Tho fact Of the birth was not made
public until 2 o'clock. The news was bul-
letined at tho telegraph Office, the capitol.
the departments and prominent hotels
and was almost the whole theme OF con.
versation during the afternoon. Every
whcre disappointment was manifested
that the baby was not boy. Before 4
o'clock messenger boys began carrying
congratulaiory kilograms to the white
house. This il the first time in tho history
of the republic that the wall Of newborn,
infant of president of the United States
has been heard within the walls Of the
white house.

WAR AGAIN POSSIBLE.
France Seams Determined to Flick Fus

France seems Determined to Pick Fuss
of some Kind.
PARIS, Sept. 9.-The story of fresh COM
plications between France and Siam,
cabled exclusively to tho associated press
yesterday. was fully confirmed to-day by
the utterances of the French press. There
is no doubt that France Is fretting under
the scoring comments of foreign newspa-
pers upon her alleged backdown before
England's firm attitude. There Is still
less doubt that the French government is
determined that the foreign press shall
not easily have another such chance to
hold up tho republic to ridicule. Much ir-
ritation is felt against England from the
fact that she was supporting. II not ad-
visinR Siam In tho dilatory attitude the
latter country assumed In the treatment
Of concessions made to France. In conse-
,,uence the French newspapers are spur
ring the government to make n deter
mined effort to teach England not to in
terfere with the colonial policies OF
France. Not only has Earl Grin post
poned his proposed vaca,. b Switrer-
land, but ii Is added that diti1 Stches of tho
most important nature were exchanged
yesterday between the British foreign
Office and the British embassy at Paris.
As having n bearing on the Franco
Siamese complications the Figaro makes
q most important announcement to tho
effect that Germany, having been in
formed that the visit of the Rus
sian feet to Toulon will result in tho
establishment of coaling station for
Russian war vessels on the French coast
has obtained as a counter blast the ccs-
sion by Italy OF n small island in tho Med
iterranean which Is to be fortified, coalcd,
supplied and used as rendezvous similar
to tho use by Great Britain OF tho Island
of Malta, and that when done, Germany
will maintain u permanent squadron in
the Mediterranean. This action. IL is
said. was taken after both Italy and Ger
many had concluded with England. The
exact position OF the island is not d.
vulged. but IL is said to be admirably
| suited for the purpose and within easy
steaming distance of the Dardanclles aud
| near the Suez canal.

necessary for the protection of American

Information to the secretary Of the navy,
and q conference was held 10 determine
what vessel was most available in the

john Richards Commits Suicide In the
Phiiipsburg County Jat,.
Special Dspatch TO ths STANDARD
PHILIPsBURo. Sept. "a man known
as John Richards shot himself in the
county Jail this morning. He was arrested
last Tuesday on q charge of forgery. He
was q native of Dover, Y. D.. and came to
Philips5urg from Madison, Wis, about
two weeks ago. He put ii-caliber ball
through his brain. How he got possession
of the weapon is a mystery. IL appears
that at the time J. w. Brown was impris-
oued hers for murder, some three months
ago, q revolver belonging to one OF the
jail officers mysteriously disappeared and
no trace of IL could then be found. The
weapon used by Richards has been iden-
titled as tho one that disappeared. II Is
thought that the person who had the gun
m Ist have gained admission to the jail by
requesting to visit the prisoner.
Richards made sure shot, the ball en-
tering the right side of the head near the
temple and coming out behind tho left
ear, scattering his brains against the wall.
No reason is given for the act, but II is
thought that Richards was not quite sane
at tho time. lie was apparently about 20
years OF age. In coroner's jury to-day
the prison officials were exonerated from
any blame In the matter.

which most of them confess there Is
against them upon tho question
OF repeal. They may be said to
have fairly exposed their plan Of
operations through the prolonged speech
made by Senator Stewart and that begun
to-day by Senator Teller. It is evident
for the present at least that they mean to
talk indefinitely upon the financial ques-
ton with tho hope Of forcing some con-
ccssion from the president and senate
majority. There was tims this week
when they seemed In fair way towards
securing general consent to compromise

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-The September
report of tn, statistician Of the depart.
ment of ag riculture shows q decline in the
condition Of corn to 1871 from $40 for the
month of August and 1872 for July. The
change is marked in nearly all the corn
states. In comparison with September
reports during the past 10 years only three
are less, 10.1 in 1880, 72.3 in 1887, 16.6 in
1885. Tho decline was caused by pre-
vailing drought. The condition OF wheat,
both winter and spring. where harvested.
is 7i.0 against $50 in 1892. Tho geneI al
average Is the lowest since less, when II
was 72.0. The condition Of fruits has still
further declined. New Jersey, Delaware.

He Refuses to Bulge an Inch From un-
conditional Repeal.
wAsHINoToN, Sept. q. 9.-President Cleve-
land absolutely refuses to consent to
grant any concessions in the silver fight,
says the Post. More than this. he will
not promise TO agree to any recognition
of silver, even should the repeal bill be
passed. This is the sum and substance
of his position as reported by the senators
who had conference with him yesterday.
II renewed the confidence of the friend
of unconditional repeal, who assert un-
wavering faith in the final passage of tho
measure.
Tho unconditional repeal or nothing"
senators have settled down for a long
siege. Meantime the democrats i'm tho
senate who are concerned for their party,
will make a careful canvass to see if
votes cannot be secured for some measure
that will command sufficient votes to en-
sure passage. There will be plenty of
time to take this poll, for enough speeches
are already in course Of preparation to &C.
cupy three or four weeks IL needed. They
will not be delivered In their length en-
tirely II at any moment the votes neces.
sary to the passage OF some concession are
secured.
On the house side of tho capitol but lit
tle credence is given to tho reports of
compromise action In the senate on the re-
peal bill. The democratic leaders In the
house say the Faulkner proposition in the
senate to coin silver up TO $500, 900 600 and
then stop has received undue prominence.
1t is evidently the plan of the house lead
crs to prevent Mt this time any financial
or currency legislation which might COM
plicate the situation in the sennte. They
do not propose, however, to allow the
house to fold it's hand and adjourn from
day TO day until action is had on the re.
peal proposition in the senate. As soon
as bills can be reported from the COM
mittees, the house will take up the bills to
admit the territories of Arizona, New
Mexico and Utah, the bill to repeal the
federal election law and possibly the
bankruptcy bill. These measure will
keep the house busy until tho senate acts.
They will show the country that some
thing is being done and the same time
prevent the consideration Of financial
bills that might complicate the fight for
repeal i'm the senate.
The fifth week of the present extraor-
dinary session of the senate closed to-day
and, SO far as outward appearances indi-
cate. that body Is no nearer o conclusion
upon the question before II than il was
the day after Voorhees, reported his bill
from the finance committee. The sena-
tors who oppose tho repeal Of the Sher-
man law talk as bravely OF continued OPP
position. though hardly SO confidently of
success upon the voting tests. as when
they were first called together, and as yet
