They represent sixteen states and two

the senate just before the close Of the
session, but it was impossible to have
any conference with the senators, or to
see any considerable number of them.
AS it was not possible to make a
thorough canvass among them, 1t was
decided to leave them out entirely, so
that no misunderstanding might exist
between those willing to sign and those
who had no opportunity to do SO.

dress, that it had been issued in order
to call attention of the rank and file to

favor of bimetallis1n.

it impossible to longer defer action
1t is alleged that Mr.. Vanderbilt's
relations with Mile. Neustretter were
SO openly paraded by him with the
purpose of forcing his wife to take
cognizance of them. Mr. Wander
bits friends report that prior to
this yachting trip his behavior to
Mrs. Vanderbilt has always been
considerate, and that he had before
that time conducted himself in an
exemplary manner. They assert that
he had no affection for Mile. Neu-
stretter, and was in no sense fascin-
ated by her. Throughout the pub
lications coupling the name of Mr..
Vanderbilt with that of Mile Neu-
stretter, that gentleman has only
once made denial of any printed
statements. He protested against
an allegation that he had caused the
young woman's servants to be ar
rayed in the w. K. Vanderbilt liv-
cry. The denial of this charge was
vehement, and the explanation was
made public that at no time had the
two been identical. Though the fact
has been known for some months,
that the Vanderbilts were agreed
upon the general disposition of
divorce, it was not known by the

public until the decree was filed to-
day, that proceedings had been be-
gun. Mr.. Vanderbilt met Miss
Smith, who afterwards became his
wife, in 1878, when he was twenty
nine years of age. 1t is understood
that the settlement upon Mrs. Van
derbilt included the marble palace
at Newport, the residence at Fifty
second street and Fifth avenue, and
money and securities that will make
her income 100000 year.
Her sister is the former wife of
Ferdinand Yznaga, whose present
wife returned to the United States
last night to secure divorce. The
woman in the case" is Nellie Neu-
stretter, one of the most beautiful
queens of the Partisan demimonde
Mr.. Vanderbilt is alleged to have
been giving her all his large win
nings at the last Grand Prix de
Paris. At present Mr.. Vanderbilt is
cruising on board his yacht Valiant,
in the Mediterranean, with party of
friends. Mrs. Vanderbilt and her
friends have made all their arrange
ments for sailing for Europe, having
planned to occupy palatial quarters
in Paris.

EXPOSITION FARCE.

The Anderson committee made a
report yesterday morning, as also
did Mr.. Feig. The latter report was
given little heed, but some members
felt temporarily inclined to attach
weight to the offer of the Mime
apolis exposition directors to donate
their white elephant of building
for a state capitol site if the new
capitol is erected thereon within ten
years. There was also a statemnt
to the effect that Loring park and
100000 cash would be donated by
the Mill city if the new state house
was erected therein.
No Hennepin member offered to
substantiate the alleged offer, or to
regard it as made in earnest, with
the possible exception of Mr.. Baston.
Mr.. Feig moved that the report be
adopted, and Baston seconded.
P. H. Kelly asked Feig to with
draw his notion. as a matter of
common courtesy and fairness, but
Henry said nix.
Then Mr.. Sander took a flying
center shot at the dilatory tactics
of the Kandiyohi statesman, who
wanted to postpone the special order
of the day for two weeks.
Feig's game was pure bluff, but

SIBLEY FOR PRESIDENT.
IF the conference had authority
from the people to name a candidate
for president, it would name Joseph
c. Sibley, of Pennsylvania, but not
having such authority it can only sug
gest the name and invite expressions
from the people by petition, reso-
luton or otherwise, believing
that the national conventions,
when made, should reflect in the most
direct manner the will of the people,
uncontrolled by caucus machinery or
by professional politicians"
3 Hon. J. L. McLaurin, of South Caro-
lima, was appointed to select a provis-
ional national committee to consist of
one member from each state and ter
ritory, and the District of Columbia,
to take charge of this movement in
the several states and territories.

of the league that Republican should

Prussians object to silver.

BERLIN, March 5.-In the lower
house of the Prussian diet today
Arendt raised discussion on the cur
rency question. Burk regretted that
Germany, with her we'll regulated
monetary system, should have initiated
a proposal for an international con-
ference on the question of currency.
Waldow declared that the gold stand
ard was running husbandry, and Herr
Liedmann welcomed the attitude Of
the imperial government on the silver
question. After Eyenern had ex-
pressed the conviction that an .interna-
tional conference on monetary affairs:
would not result in change of the
present system, the subject was
dropped.

FRANCE RECEIVES A HINT
Not to Make an Intimidatng Naval Force
Display at San Domingo.

Washington, Feb. 26-It is stated that
the presence of three French ships of war
| in the harbors of San Domingo have been
made the subject of diplomatic represen-
tations on the part of the United States,
at the request of the Dominican govern
ment France has long held claims
against San Domingo which seemed in
capable of settlement by ordinary diplo-
matte methods and the three naval YES
sells were assembled in the vicinity as an
incentive to speedy action.
Secretary Gresham, it is asserted, in
response to requests from the govern
ment of San Domingo, pointed out to
France that the United States also has
long standing claims against San Do
mingo, ante dating those of France. The
French reply, it is claimed, comedies this
point but represents that immediate
reparation is demanded only in the case
of a French citizen who was recently as
saulted with the ascertained connivance
of Dominican officials.
The United States thereupon replied, as
is understood that this was matter
which could not be held to warrant a
hostile naval demonstration on the part
of the French, and suggested that the
difficulty is easily susceptible of an ami
cable settlement, and justice could be
obtained more certainly in the absence of
q threatening armed force.
So far as can be learned, the incident
rests at this point. Should any further
difficulty arise, it is possible that one Of
the vessels of Admiral Meade's fleet, now
at Barbados, 500 miles from San Do.
mingo, may be ordered to cruise on the
coast of Hayti and San Domingo for the
protection of American interests, which
are very considerable there. SANTANA bay,
on the north side of the island, has long
been treated by the United States navy as
practically an American possession.

THE ELBEI INQUEST.
Testimony Before the Jury at
Lowestoft, England.
Pilot Greenham Of EIbe Tells the
Story Of the Disaster.
Capt. Gordon OF cratiie Says Elbe Was Gone
When Searched Tor.

London, Feb. 26.-In the Lowestoft in
quiry, today, Pilot Greenham testified
that after the crash be saw attempts made
to close the water-tight doors of the Elbe
When he got to the deck he saw the Elbe's
rockets, her blue lights burned and hel
syren was blowing. Captain Won Goesse
was on the bridge until the last. The
captain ordered the boats got out, but the
ropes We're frozen and had to be chopped
away. The orders given by the captain
We're obeyed and there was no confuson.
When Greenham got into the boat he saw
a green light and white stern light, which
he believed to be the lights of the collid-
ing vessel. These lights disappeared tc
the southwark.
The speed of the Elbe at the time of the
collision was 1G miles an hour, and she
would consequently go some distance be
fore she ran her way off after her engines
were stopped. 1t was impossible for those
aboard to see the lifeboat without a
light. Mr.. Greenham said he burned a
paper in the boat to attract the attention
of the colliding vessel and expressed his
belief that if the Crathie had kept good
lookout it would have been possible for
them to have seen it burning
Captain Gordon, commander of the
Crathie, testified that when the wreckage
was cleared away from the CrathIes bows
the ship was turned around to go after
the Elbe. This was about three quarters
of an hour after the collision, but the Ell e
had steamed away Both the captain and
chief engineer of the Crathie deposed that
the telegraphs were frozen at the time of
the collision. Orders were given to the
lookout man who shouted them to the
engine room. The engines We're all right
when the vessel sailed from Rotterdam.
On the conclusion of the engineers
testimony, the coroner intimated that the
inquest would be adjourned until March
26. The solicitor for the captain of the
Crathie objected to this proposal and
asked the jury to render a verdict. 1t
would be cruel, he said to let the matter
hang fire over the captains head for a
month. The coroner opposed the render
ing of a verdict at the present time, and
the inquest adjourned.
