Mr.. CLEVELAND'S POSITION
A Belief That he Will Not Veto Moderate
Tariff Measure.
Both That and the Bond Bill Will
Pass the HOuse-DiMculty
In the Senate.

The impression is growing strong~that
Mr.. Cleveland has intimated to Mr.. Reed
that he would not veto financial and
tariff measure If the tariff proposition was
not made too radical. 1t is not pretended
that any positive assurances have been
given as respects the specific measure re-
ported today, but the committee in making
up their bill were Influenced to moderation
by the impression that there was a pros
pect of the bill becoming law if drawn
on moderate lines. The bond proposition
is to Mr.. Cleveland's liking, and it is prob
able that If he has indicated compliant
disposition in dealing with the matter it
was with the idea that the two propositions
would be combined in one bill
Both Bills Will Pass the House,
While there is no doubt about both bills
passing the House, there are a few re-
publicans who are greatly dissatisfied with
the bond bill. and there will probably be
some republican speeches against it, There
appears TO be a fair chance that the tariff
till VIII get through the Senate. Opinion
among Senators as to this differs widely,
but in the end all the republicans will prob
ably vote for the bill, and it is likely to
receive tie support of three populists, and
possibly two or three democrats. 1t is
known that few of the democrats would
like to see the bill passed 1t is a ques-
tlou now Iar party politics may influence
them in voting.
The Bond bill Situation
The situation as to the bond bill is differ
ent 1t seems almost an impossiblity for
that measure to go through the Senate
The vote on the Allen silver resolution the
other day was more significant from the
fact that even the most radical silver men
in the two old parties are reluctant to vote
for any proposition emanating from a pop-
ulist: While looking upon the resolution as
cranky. the fact that it purported to be in
the interest of silver impeled them to vote
for 1T. This shows how completely sub
servient they are to this question, and it
made the vote stronger test than a more
sensible proposition would have afforded
The chances of the vote on the bond bill
may be estimated on this. The majority
against the bond proposition will probably
be larger than that by which the Allen res
oluticn was adopted.
Therefore Mr.. Cleveland, If the tariff bill
reaches him, will have to consider it indie
perdently of the other measure.

THE HAZING TRIAL OPENED,
Seamcn Gunners Charged With Per-
scouting COlOred Classmen.

senmen Gunners Charged With Per-
scouting COlOred Clnssmen.
The court-martial summoned by the Sec
retary of the Navy to try Ramsey w
Smith, Edward Murphy, Archibald J. La
mont and Raymond w. Fox, seamen in the
navy and members of the gunners' class
at the navy yard, on the charge of hazing
John A. Jackson, John Thompson and
William Johnson, members OF the same
class. convened in the court-martial room
at the navy yard this afternoon at 1
o'clock. The hazing charged was due, it
is claimed, to desire to rid the class of
colored members.
The trial is the result of the investiga-
ton recently made by a court of inquiry
over which Commander Washburn May
nard presided.
Acting Secretary McAdoo ordered the de-
tail of the following ofiio ocrs to compose
the court-ntartial: Captain Purnell F. Har-
rington president; Commander Richard p
leary, Commander Joshua Bishop Lieu
tenant Commander Joseph N. Hemphill,
Leutenants Charles Laird, Dennis H.
Mahan and John Hood, with Ensign War
ren j. Terhune, judge advocate.
When the accused were brought into the
court-martial room this afternoon and
asked if they had any objection to any
member of the court no objection was
made known, and the court was then
sworn in in the usual way.
Judge Advocate Terhune then read to
smith. Murphy, Lamont and Fox the
charges and specifications. The charge is
conduct to the prejudice of good order and
discipline" The specification under the
charge set forth that the accused between
the l4th day of September and the 14th day
or November, conspired for the purpose of
driving from the gunnery class Seamen
John a. Jackson, John Thomson and VIM
Johnson, by hooting at and jeering them,
and by singing derisive song in their pres
ence, with intent to annoy them and bv
other acts of persecution and maltreatment
The. specifications further describe in detail
various acts of annoyance charged.
Adjourned Till Tomorrow.
When the accused We're called upon to
plead to the charge their counsel, Mr..
Thomas w. Field, arose and asked the
court to grant continuance until Monday
next on the ground that he had been un-
able to acquaint himself with the details
of the case.
The motion was opposed by Judge Advo-
cate Terhune, and at the close of Mr.. Ter
hune's argument the court was cleared for
elaboration. When the doors were again
opened the president of the court an
nounced that while it was the desire of the
court TO afford every opportunity for a
fair trial to the prisoners, it would be con-
trary to law to adjourn until the time
asked for by the counsel for the defense.
1ne court would however, take a recess
Until tomorrow morning at 1880 O'Clock,
and II the counsel was not then ready to
proceed he might again ask for additional
delay, and the request would probably be
granted. There must, however be no re-
quest of the sort simply for the sake of de-
lay. The arraignment of the prisoners was
deferred until the assembling of the court
tomorrow morning. The court at once ad-
jOurned,

HOPING FOR PEACE.
Attitude of Two london Evcninr
PAPERS.

LONDON, Dece mber 26.-The Globe this
afternoon, referring to the message which
the Prince Of Wales and the Duke of York
jointly sent to the New York World,
through Sir Francis Knollys, regarding the
prospect of war with America, says this
afternoon that the Prince of Wales and the
Duke of York did the right thing in the
right place"
The Pail Mall Gazette remarks: Their
message Is intrinsically admirable and
brimful Of tact. But the real significance
in it is the fact that no such step as that
has been taken, except after consultation
with the premier, and the fact that the
Marquis of Salisbury approved of the idea
may be regarded as evidence of the spirit
with which the government views the
crisis. In common with the Prince of
Wales end the Duke of York. they earnest
ly trust and cannot but believe the present
crisis viii! be arranged in a manner satis-
factory to both countries"

winds. The Lancaster started from New
York with officers and crews for the relief
