Mr.. Allen, "whether it is for or against
silver will not have the slightest effect on

matter to be influenced by a mere de-
claration by such a body as this. 1 will
say. however, that if the national Repub-
lican convention does not nominate free
silver candidate or declare for free silver
the party need not expect to carry state
west of the Mississippi river.
They will vote the ticket of the party
declaring for silver" said Mr.. Allen

GOLD AND SILVER.
Secretary Morton Tells of the Sentl-
meNt in the West.

Secretary Morton Tells of the Sentl-
mcnt in the West.
"I believe there is a growing feeling in
favor of the gold standard among business
men of the west" said Secretary Morton,
in conversation with a Star reporter today.
while I have not been west for several
weeks, that was the impression got then
and which comes to me from different
sources.
Sometimes I think that the sentiment
favorable to the gold standard is increasing
among other classes Of people in the west,
but it will not do to be too confident about
this. You see, the people who are most
actively concerned in fostering the silver
sentiment have direct pecuniary interest
in the free coinage of silver. They put in
their money, time and Intellectual effort to
the working up of free silver sentiment.
"On the other hand, the people who de-
sire the establishment of the gold standard,
are only interested in a general way No
particular Individual has a pecuniary inter-
est in the matter and, therefore, does not
feel called upon to devote mis- time or
money in efforts to bring it about
I'm this way, then, it happens that the
people at large hear more in favor of free
silver than they do against it. There is no
organization to do for the gold standard
what the league of interested persons is
doing for silver. For this reason 1 am not
oversanguine of immediate education of
opinion among the people against free COIN
age"

TO KEEP OUT OF THE FIGHT.

During the summer.


During, the summer.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, March 9.-"Senator- Corr
man and his family will sail from New
York early in May andewili spend the sum.
mer abroad. returning to America in Sep~
tenber. They will spend the time travelling
leisurely on the continent, visiting Carls-
bad and other German springs for the
benefit of the Senator's health"
One of the Senator's closest personal
and political friends made the above an-
nourcement today. He continued: HE has
come to the conclusion that it will be i'm.
possible for him to obtain any rest IL he
remains in this country-no matter what
part of it he might select. When he goes
to Saratoga or Atlantic City the politicians
Immediately follow him. Very few of them
can follow him to Europe. He has been
importuned to take charge of the state
committee this year and he may consent
to do it If his health is good on his return,
but he does not want to be in the state
when the primary conventions are
he will be held responsible by his
enemies for all that may be done.
Several of the candidates are per-
sonal friends of his, and it would be em-
barrassiug for him to make a choice,
hence he will go so far away that II will
be absurd to accuse him of interference In
current affairs The Senator realizes that
the party is In a critical position in Mary
land and that unwise interference on the
part of himself or any other leader might
do great harm. He has decided to be out
of reach while the preliminary contests are
going on. He will return after the nominal
tons are made and exert all his skill to
elect the party ticket and keep Maryland
in the democratic ranks. The whole plan
has been definitely settled and there is no
doubt whatever about it. Mr.. German Will
be out OF the state and out of the country
all summer and as far as he is personally
concerned there will be no Interference
with the course of politics here"

MORE ARMY REORGANIZATION.
Changes In the Duties of inspectors
Contemplated.

NnuhSes IN the duties OF inspectors
Contemplated.
1t Is said that Secretary Lamont con-
templates making further changes in the
organization of the military establishment
at an early day. Although the details of
the new plan have not been disclosed
enough is known to admit of an outline
of the general scheme. Under the proposed
plan department commanders are assigned
the duty of inspecting the corps under
their command These inspections will be
made at least once year, and as much
oftener as appears necessary to the de-
partment commander These inspections
have hitherto been made by officers of the
inspector generals department. who. it is
said. will hereafter have nothing to do
with tho troops.
Their work will embrace more especial
ly the inspection of store houses, depots
and accounts. They will also be subject
to any special service assigned them by
the Secretary of War The work of the
inspectors will be divided into five depart
ments. thus giving the inspector general
one assistant and each department an in
spector. The departments will be organ
lied for the convenience of this inspec-
ton. The proposed assignment of this
inspection duty to regular inspectors will
enable the. department to return line Off
GERS now on that duty to their regular
stations.

COUN TING THE COST
Why the Government Hesitates to Re-
taliate.
The President Said to Wish to Avoid
the Loss of Revenue 1t
Would Entail.

1t is said that the reason for the hesita-
ticn on the part of the State Department
to follow a vigorous policy in dealing with
Germany, France. Belgium, the Neither
lands and Denmark, is that President
Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle fear that
we cannot afford the loss of revenue which
would be involved in retaliation.
1t is said that both Mr.. Cleveland and
Mr.. Carlisle believe that on account of the
loss of revenue. this government would be
a greater sufferer from any prohibition of
imports from foreign countries than those
countries upon whom we were retaliating.
1t is said that Mr.. Cleveland even believes
that these European countries would like
to have us retaliate. and thus open the
way for non-intercourse. This conviction
is so strong with him, it is said, and he is
SO desirous of preventing further falling
off in the revenue. that 1t is doubtful il he
could be brought to issue a proclamation
under the exclusion law Of 80. no matter
hcw fragrant the discrimination against us
by foreign countries might be.
Reaching n Crisis.
The controversy has reached critical
stage, however, and it is likely that point
will be arrived at where the attitude of
this government will have to be declared
one way or the other and the flag law may
go into operation in spite of Mr.. Cleve-
lands disinclination to have foreign i'm
portations checked in any way. Instruc-
ticns have been sent to Minister Eustis by
the State Department to represent to the
French government that we will not assent
to the proposition that the exclusion Of our
meat and live stock is due to the discovery
of disease either in the cattle or the meat.
He is instructed to state that it is i'm
possible fol. 1.-The same piece of meat to be
both diseased and not diseased, and that
knowing from three Inspections, one of
them made at the same time with that of
the French government, that there is no
disease as valid excuse for the exclusion
of our meat
An Awkward Situation.
The instructions are very emphatic, and
If adhered to must lead to declaration on
the part of this government that there ex-
lists an unwarranted discrimination. Hav
ing made this presentation of the case
through our minister, it is claimed that
it would be extremely embarrassing and
awkward for this government to refuse to
execute the law requiring an additional ten
per cent duty, even If the act of 1880 is not
availed of by proclamation. 1t looks as If
would have to be resorted to in spite of
Mr.. Cleveland's reluctance, unless the for
eign Determinations are revoked A failure
to retaliate would be regarded as an ac-
acknowledgement on the part of our govern
ment that we must depend upon the reports
of the foreign inspectors rather than upon
those of our own, and that a diplomatic
contention is not to be overthrown by
mere facts as discovered scientifically.

Fifty Desperate ''Hoboes" overpower
a Trains Grew.
ROUTED BY THE WILMINGTON POLICE
Eleven Taken After a Running
Fight.


WILMINGTON, Del, March 9-Last
night a gang Of about fifty tramps cap
tured the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore freight train from Baltimore,
which was due in this city about ii 80
O'Clock. The tramps got on the train just
outside of Baltimore, and at once began
to abuse the trainmen.
Conductor Riley and his crew were pow
erless. A few of the gang had revolvers,
and all were armed with knives and clubs.
One brakeman was caught on top Of a car
and beaten. In the fight his lamp was
broken. and the tramps then attempted to
force him from the car. He managed to
escape and took refuge on the engine.
At Chase station the trainmen were all
driven from the tops OF the cars, and It
was expected that an attack would be
made on the engine. But after the tramps
had secured possession of the train they
began quarreling among themselves. ana
during one of their fights a man was
thrown from the train. and it is supposed
fatally injured. if not killed outright.
Conductor Riley telegraphed to this city
for assistance, and when the train reached
the west yard in this city there were about
fifty policemen in waiting.
As soon as the train was brought to q
stop the tramps jumped from the cars and
sterted to run across the fields. The heavy
fog prevented the officers from capturing
many of the men, but, after a running
Fight, in which several shots were fired.
the officers succeeded in capturing eleven
of the gang. When the tramps were cors
nered they showed fight, and only sur
rendered at the point of a revolver.
Nearly half of the gang left the train at
Newport, Delaware, the first station below
this city. Those arrested gave the follows
ing names: John Wilson, Martin Kfldays
John Kelly, James Clear, John Conner, Edo
ward johnson, George Wilson, Harry Cin>

The Casualties of the LonEfeIIow's
Sinking.

Sfhk1nE.
CINCINNATI, Ohio March 9-Although
a morning paper places the death list Of
the Longfellow disaster at II, there is only
a certainty of G. namely: Clerk ]. L. Car.
ter, Passengers David Aldridge, Rome. N.
Y; Mr.. and Mrs. Aul, Dayton, Ohio; Bar
tender Augustus Chauvett Porter James
Miller.
AS to two given in the list of H. Mrs,
Dr. Mary Anderson and her patient, Miss
Harrington OF jamestown, n. Y, they are
not only alive, but expect to resume their
Journey to New Orleans on the Buckeye
State, which leaves for New Orleans this
evening. Two others of the list of u are
deck hands who were yesterday reported
drowned and afterward heard from as
alive, but as they have no settled home 1t
is difficult to definitely locate them. The
other is a coIored barber, Jones, who has
not yet appeared at his usual stopping
places and may be lost
Still another is colored servant in the
officers quarters named Walker. The only
evidence that he is dead is that he has not
reported at the companys office. But both
as to him and the barber reports have been
received from the officers of the Longfel-
low that they escaped.
The company this morning sent the
Carrel with a strong crew to examine the
portions of tine wreck for the purpose OF
finding the bodies that are missing. Three
trunks have been recovered, upon one or
which is painted the name of Z. j. En-
NETT. No such passenger is remembered
by the clerk, and ii is thought the trunk
was piece Of freight.
