DIPLOMATIC DAY.

Secretary Olney Receives Visits From
but Three Foreign Ministers.
This was diplomatic day at the State De-
partment ard was devoted by Secretary
Olney almost entirely to the consider
alton of business brought personally
to his attention by the representatives
of foreign governments. The gen.
eral absence Of the members Of the
diplomatic corps from the city at this time
is indicated by the fact that there were but
three of them at the department today.
notwithstanding it was the first oppor-
tunity they have had of presenting general
bushes to Secretary Olney since his re-
turn from his vacation at Falmouth, Mass.
Although the Secretary's door is always
open to foreign ambassadors and ministers,
they are expected to conflEe their calls to
Thursdays, unless the business in hand Is of
special Importance.
The Secretary's diplomatic visitors today
were Baron Fava, the Italian ambassador;
Senor Romero, the Mexican minister, and
Senior Andrade, the Venezuelan minister.
The nature of their business was not dis
closed. Particular interest was shown in
the call of the Venezuelan minister, because
of the report that he was inclined to make
formal complaint of the recent arrest and
punishment of Senior Fombona Palacio, sec
retary of legation, on the charge of insult
ing ladies on the street in New York city.
Inasmuch, however, as Mr.. Andrade said
subsequently that his visit had no relation
to that affair, it was assumed by the gos-
sips that 1t probably related to the much
mere important question Of the boundary
dispute between Venezuela and Great
Britain, which the United States is exerting
its influence to have settled by arbitration.
1t is currently reported that the admins
tration is disposed to take strong and
vigorous measures to induce Great Britain
to recede from its present position against
the submission Of this International issue
to arbitration, but the report cannot be
traced to any reliable source, and it is not
easy to see what further action can be
taken by this government to accomplish
that much-desired result.

Death of Major Penrose.

Adjutant General Ruggles has been in
formed that Major Charles B. Penrose of
the subsistence department died at Carlisle,
Pa, yesterday Of bilious fever. Deceased
was a native of Pennsylvania and was ap-
pointed to the army from that state in Au-
gust, 1861. He served gallantly during the
war and was brevetted three times for
meritorious conduct. His last brevet was
lieutenant colonel. His death will promote
Capt. o. Wells Willard to the grade of ma
jCr, but will not create a vacancy in the
department, for the reason that the pres
ent number is already two in excess of the
legal limit.

UNHAMPERED BY FACTS,

The United Press Gives Another
Demonstration of It's UnreliabiIity.
NEW YORK, September 19.-Yesrerday
the United Press furnished another DEM
orstration of its unreliability in the SER
vice of news. President Cleveland had ex-
pected to start the machinery at the At
lanta exposition at o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon. by pressure of an electric button
in his room at Buzzards Bay. There was
some delay, however, in the wire connec-
tions, and the Atlanta people decided to
defer the Presidents function until $50
pm. All was not in readiness at the hour,
and it was not until 6:55 o'clock that the
electric circuit was closed at Gray Gables
and the wheels moved in Atlanta
Unhampered, however, by facts, the
United Press promptly, at pm, reported
In New York amusement was afforded to
those with stable sources of information
by this opening by United Press paper,
under heavy head lines, in it's last edition:
ATLANTA, Ga, September 1S-Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland touched a golden
button at Buzzard's Bay at 2 o'clock to-
day, and instantly the wheels of the ma
chinery at the cotton states and interna-
tional exposition, one thousand miles away,
leaped into life. Cannon blazed and thun-
dered, 10000 people cheered, a thousand
flags fiuttered from the tops of the many
buildings, and the great south's industrial
exposition was officially opened"
In Washington and at other points a few
misguided newspapers were telling the
same story.
While waiting the hour for his action
President Cleveland's evening mail was
laid before him, and with it an evening
paper supplied from sources referred to.
AS Mr.. Cleveland read aloud the fervid de-
tail Of his having started the machinery at
2 o'clock, while waiting between and
pm. to do so. 1t was with manifest disap-
proval.

q long record of fabrications, proyokes

TACoMA's PROPOSED FAIR.
Committees Appointed to Perfect
Plans.

Plans.
TACOMA, Wash, September ia pro-
ject to hold an occidental ana oriental fair
in Tacoma in the summer of the year 1900
was considered by a large meeting of ci:i-
zens held at the chamber of commerce
and unanimously approved. A preliminary
organization was formed and committees
appointed to perfect plans and get the
work started, both in this country and in
the countries east, which it is hoped to
interest.
The object will be to foster trade rela-
tions between the United States and ori-
entail nations. The project has been de-
cided upon as result Of the great growth
in oriental traffic, which has SO increased
in three years that 10000 tons or four
hundred train loads of freight from and
going to the orient will be handled by the
Tacoma-China line this year. Congress
will be asked early in the next session to
appropriate 100000 for the fair on the
ground that the Pacific coast is entitled to
an appropriation for fair, never having
had one.

BEATEN BY "BUCk- MCCARTHY,
Meeting of Chicago Republicans Ends
in a Brutal Fight.

Meeting of Chicago Republicans Ends
in Brutal Fight.
CHICAGO, September 19.-The "har-
mory'' meeting of the republican county
central committee wound up last night In
the parlors Of the Great Northern Hotel
with a brutal fight between Alderman
Henry hammers of the anti-Swift element
and Buck. Mccarthy, a strong supporter
of the mayor.
The political affairs of the committee had
been settled by what was called a COM
promise, in which the anti-Swift men had
a decided advantage. All that the mayors
supporters gained was the consent of their
opponents that all the credentials to the
convention IN October should be submitted
to a committee before the convention went
into session. The anti-Swift men, however,
have secured a majority of four on the
committee, and everything will be their
way when their report is submitted to the
convention.
This was all the harmony" shown at the
meeting, and curses and epithets of all
sorts and degrees were passed back and
forth while the harmonious" agreement
was being patched up.
Just at the close of the meeting the doors
were opened, and a large number of Mo-
Carthy's followers from the stock yards
district were admitted to the room. 1t was
without question preconcerted move in
order that Alderman hammers, who had
been a strong opponent to the Mccarthy
gang throughout the day, might be done
up"
Mccarthy who is a burly. powerful fell
low, engaged hammers in conversation,
and in less than ten minutes the men were
rolling on the floor of the committee room
fighting savagely. McCarthy's friends
formed a ring, and prevented any inter-
ference, while Mccarthy himself pounded
hammers in the most horrible fashion.
The latter's face was beaten to jelly one
eye was gouged out, his head was cut in
several places, and he was more dead than
alive when Mccarthy was finally dragged
off OF him.
The result of the harmony" meeting IL
that tine entire matter will be fought over
again when the convention meets.

THE GUARANTEED NEGROES.
The Government Has No Money
Send Them to Alabama

The Government Has No Money to
Send Them to Alabama.
Acting Secretary Hamlin today sent a
telegram informing the 400 negroes quar-
aEtined at Eagle Pass Tex, that the gov
err ment has no appropriation from which
could be paid their expenses to their homes
in Alabama. These negroes some time ago
went into Mexico to form a colony, but
the scheme was a failure, and in returning
had reached Eagle Pass, when smallpox
broke out among them, and they were
quarantined. At last accounts there were
1l5 cases of smallpox among them, and on
the advice of friends they appealed to the
government to assist them to their homes
In Alabama as fast as they were discharged
by the quarantine officers. Their request,
Tor the reasons stated, cannot De granted.

THE BATTLE SHIP TEXAS,

the
Official Test.
Reports from the battle ship Texas show
that the vessel is gradually being put into
shape for the official test, which has been
postponed from time to time, and the date
for which cannot yet be fixed. The ms
chinery which was damaged by the shoal
water at the Norfolk yard has received
a general overhauling. 1t is believed at
the department that no permanent damage
was sustained. The recent experience of
the ship shows that she will certainly be
troubled with her ventilating apparatus
which was constructed on the same plan
as that of tho monitor Amphitrite and is
said to be very defective. There is conse-
quently much complaint of extraordinary
high temperature and consequent agita-
ton for change of system
