THINKING HARD, SAYING LITTLE.
The President Keeping I'm Pace With
Political Events.

Special Dispatch 10 The Evening Star.
BUZZARD'S BAY, September 2s.-For
two days President Cleveland has denied
himself the pleasure of venturing out upon
the waters of the bay to fish, having heed
ed the admonitions of the weather bureau
that the Florida hurricane was due to ar
rive here and that oatboats and all coast
wise craft had better avoid it, but the
storm has failed to reach here thus far,
and 50 a good opportunity to angle for bot
tom fish has been lost.
Mr.. Cleveland has developed an extra
ordinary interest In agriculture and land
time ashore is now devoted to famlliarizing
himself with the condition of the land
upon this loo-acre estate, to an inspection
of the Improvements now IN progress. and
TO laying out a lot of work for his ground
keeper, Bradford Wright, and assistants to
proceed with as opportunity offers during
the coming year. AT present a consider
able force of men are engaged in digging
muck from the bottom of Lily pond a
shallow mud pond of about an acre, To-
Gated near the center of the estate. The
muck is carte1 TO the adjoining fields for
dressing. and ;he pond will be made into
an ice pond to supply the house with ice
for the next season.
The sad Circums stances surrounding the
sudden death OF Miss Marion Bender of
brooklyn, sister-in-law of young Joseph
jefferson here this week have had de-
pressing. effect upon all Mr. and Mrs.
Cleveland have been among those to call
upon the Jeffersons and offer their con-
duicnceS. Miss Bender was a Young ac-
tress of ability and had been one of the
most joyful of the pleasure-seeking com
pany of young people which had gathered
here this summer.
Nothing that has arisen in the way of
public events has happened to arouse the
keen interest Of the President since his
arrival here as the result of the New York
democratic convention. He has questioned
the confidential callers eagerly ana he ap-
pears To be most alert TO The exgencieS of
the crisis impending In the political af-
fairs of the empire state, and the relative
effect they may be expected to have upon
national politics. He will say nothing for
publication, but Is thinking hard beyond
question, is evinced by his conversation.

He Talks to a Star Representative
About the New York Situation.
AS TO THESE WHO DON'T CARE FOR HILL
Democratic Leaders Who Are Not
Ardent Hill Men.
THE DEMOCRATIC CHANCES

a representative Of The Star asked Sec
retary Lamont today about the democratic
nominations in New York, and the general
situation to the guberEatorial canvass.
II see 10 reason" said the Secretary
why Mr.. Hill should not be elected. New
York is a democratic state, and has been
for thirty years. Mr.. Hill is a vote-getter,
and the campaign will undoubtedly be an
active one. There may be some men of
greater less prominence. with more or
less of a following, who will refuse to sup
port him, but he will not be concerned
about that. He has his own way of max
ing a canvass. and will look elsewhere for
his votes. He has unquestionably looked
the ground over and knows about where
his strength lies, and thoroughly under
stands the situation. His opponent is not
an exceptionally strong candidate. MIR.
Morton is an agreeable gentleman, but
there is nothing in his candidacy to attract
such democrats as may not like AIR. Hill.
nor is he likely to draw the independent
vote. l see TO reason why Mr.. Hill should
not be elected"
Attitude of the Leaders.
The talk OF democrats who are not at all

their part to accept the situation as they

York Senator will acquire in the party if
he is elected. 1t might be easy way to
get rid OF him forever as a factor In the
party BY defeating him at this time. but the
talk among leaders in the party. though
unfriendly TO Hill personally, tends against
this idea, and his election is predicted by

CORBETT IS INDIGNANT.



PORTLAND, Me, September 2S.-Pugilist
Corbett was indignant today when shown
the dispatch sent out by John L. Sullivan
last night accusing him of beating about
the bush. Corbett said in substance:
These people do not cut ice with me.
Sullivan had always more mouth than
courage. He is a quitter from the word
go, and do not care to have anything to
do with him. He Is out of it, but there
is one thiag-if l ever meet FitzSimmons
in the ring, l will make better fight than
Sullivan did with me. or course Jake Kill
rain, Sullivan and Jackson are sore. and l
know it, but that does not make any differ
ence to me. The Olympac Club does not
want a fight; they want TO make money
out of me. Now. l am not inclined to let
them until L have proof that Fitzsimmons
is somewhere in my class. and this he can
demonstrate by knocking out O'DonnelI.
l am making good money now and am not
taking any risks to please any number Of
Soreheads."
Corbett became excited as he talked and
plainly showed that he Is deeply touched
by the various stories which have been
circulated within the past few hours.
BOSTON, September oS-Bob Fitzsim-
mons letter to Corbett was shown to W.
A. Brady, CorbettS manager, at the Bow
doin Square Theater today.
'Al | have to say in reply to that" OBJ
served Brady, lis that $1,000 is placed for
$1,000 or $lo,WO bet in the hands of David
w. Blanchard that FitzsimmonS cannot
beat o'Bonneil. 0'DoEHeii made him quit
in Australia, and he can do ii again. If
FttZs!nmonS wants to fight Corbett, let
him beat O'Donneif, and then Corbett will
meet him, but not before. That is Cor
| belts ultimatum.'
In regard to the dispatch from New
Orleans reporting that the Olympic Club
will declare FitZsimmons champion unless
Corbett fights, Mr.. Brady said: THAT is
| all rot. l will not discuss the matter, for
! ii is absurd on the face OF it,.

TUSSLE WITH A TORNADO
Experience of the Coast Line Steamer
Eldorado
Chased by Wind and Lightning Since
Sunday Night-Reports From
the South.

NEW YORK, September 2S.-The Moran
line steamer Eldorado. which arrived
from New Orleans yesterday afternoon, was
twelve hours overdue. Her delay was
caused by a severe tussle with the tor
nado, into which she ran Sunday night of
the southern coast of Florida. Capt. Percy
had been warned of an approaching storm
previous to leaving port by a sudden drop
in the barometer, but decided to chance
it. Sunday night the wind howled through
the rigging at fifty-knot clip, and every
thing movable on deck had to be doubly
lash.ed. The rain fell continuol sly and in
torrents.
Capt. Percy never changed the vessels
course, and at daybreak on Monday he
found hc had weathe-ed the storm and was
on the edge Of the tornado. At this point,
however, the wind veered to the north
ward, and followed along in the wake Of
the flying steamer.
1T kept right along with US. though"
said the captain. and followed US right
up to the highlands. We kept on the verge
Of II, however. and Ii simply fiirted with US
all the way up. The torrents of rain con-
tinued to fall throughout IT all. / have
been in storms before where the velocity
OF the wind Was great but never be
fore experienced such continuous fall
Of rain. 1t was like a cloudburst. Just
commenced to flash. and streak after
streak chased each other across the sky
for forty-eight hours. Some of the flashes
were SO close that 1 thought We should
be struck. The passengers had a sorry
hVe days trip of IT. They were housed
most of the time. and many were sick the
greater portion of the passage"
Capt. Percy says that any steamers
which Were twenty-four hours behind him
must have Jared very badly for they
would be In the very center of the storm.
The Ward line steamer Cienfugos, which
went to sea yesterday afternoon, only ven-
tured as far as the lightship and then put
about and dropped anchor in Gravesend
bay.
Survived the Storm.
SAVANNAH, Ga, September 2S-The

and Dessong from Philadelphia, arrived

ing the preliminares necessary to equip

drawings to be followed in the construc-
ton.
The Work to BE Pushed.
This portion of the enterprise will be
hurried along as rapidly as its delicate
character will permit, and as soon as it
is sufficiently advanced the work Of ex-
cavating for the conduit will begin. The
conduit will be built In accordance with
the latest engineering ideas and will be

for cable uses in case it is found that the
winter climate in this section makes the
proper insulation of underground electric
wires such as are used in the improved
Buda Pesth system impossible No such
result Is expected by even the most pessi-
mistic investigator of the system, but the
company desires to be on the safe side and
ready to meet any emergency that may
arise In way that will cause the least
Inconvenience to the company.
How the Money is to he Raised.
