to its ability to hold anything like the 15,-
600 people for whom the managers claimed
they could make provision. 1t was adj
mitted by the engineers of the structure
that not more than 1900 people could be
seated on the ground floor, but it was
claimed that safe galleries could be erected
in which an equal number might be &C.
commodated.
When the committee went into execu-
tive session, extra blue prints of the inte-
rior of Tattersall's under the proposed ar
rangement were sent for, and it looked for
while as though the coliseum was in
disfavor.
The decision hinged solely on the ques-
ton of accommodations, and, after the
matter had been thoroughly canvassed
and representatives of both structures
called in to explain disputed points, it
was decided by unanimous vote to accept
the offer of the coliseum.
In announcing this action to President
Dickinson of the company owning the
structure, Chairman Harrity stated ex-
plicitly that the committee had decided to
require seating accommodations for 15,0 600
people. The coliseum people had pre-
viously shown that the interior of their
structure could be SO arranged as to pro-
vide for 10000 without crowding, but the
committee was of the opinion that Is, 600
was the safest figure as maximum.

BROTHER ERWIN DEMANDS A SHARE
Objects to the Compromise Settlement Made
in the Vast Estate of A. j.
10vie

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. LA bill was filed
in the Federal Court here this morning by
Erwin Davis of New York, a brother of A. j..
Davis, the multi millionaire whose fortune
has been contested for in the courts of
Montana several years on account of the
will, W hich it was alleged was forgery.
Last March the children of John A. Davis,
a brother of the deceased, agreed to COM
promise settlement with their combative
cousins and other relatives who contested
the will, and a.division of the vast estate
was decreed by the court. John A. Davis
had died during the litigation.
Now Erwin, another brother, attacks the
compromise, which LEFT him and his
brother Calvin and his sisters out of the
settlement. He exhibits q copy of an
agreement signed by all the brothers and
sisters of the deceased that half of the
money received should be given to Erwin
in consideration of his furnishing the
money to fight the claims of Mrs. Bagett's
children.

CENSURE FOR Mr. BAYARD
Two Resolutions Reported by the
House Foreign Affairs
Committee.
Adopted by Strict Party Vote. With
the Exception of Newlands Of
Nevada.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Feb IA reso-
luton censuring ambassador Bayard for
the sentiments expressed by him in his
recent English speeches was adopted by
the House Foreign Affairs Committee this
afternoon. Two resolutions were re-
ported.
The first censures Mr.. Bayard by name
for the language used by him in his Bos-
ton and Edinburgh speeches, and incorpo-
rated with this will be second resolution
expressing the disapproval of the COM
mittee of our representatives abroad dis
cussing American political affairs and DIS
playing partisanship and the condemna-
ton of political parties or other reputable
organizations of American citizens.
This conclusion was not reached until
the entire subject of Mr.. Bayard's alleged
indiscretions had been fully discussed by
the committee. The discussion was pre-
cipitated by the calling up by Chairman
Hit of the foregoing resolutions, which
were prepared respectively by Pearson of
North Carolina and Cousins of Iowa.
Party lines were at once strictly drawn, the
Democrats opposing the cen: Re of EN-
bassador Bayard, while the Republican s
insisted that his offense deserved rebuke
from the American Congress.
McCreary of Kentucky and Money of
Mississippi championed Mr.. Bayard's
cause. The Democratic leaders refused to
agree to any proposition which might re-
fleet upon our ambassador at London.
whereupon the Republicans decided that
the two resolutions above referred TO
should be agreed to.
The resolutions were adopted by a strict
party vote, with the exception that New
lands of Nevada, representative of the
silver party, joined the Republicans
while the Democrats UNANIMOUSLY opposed
them. All the members of the committee
were present except Draper (R.) of Massa-
chusetts.
Chairman Hit will present the resoIu-
tions with majority report to the house
on Monday. A report embodying the
views of the minority will probably be
submitted by Dinsmore of Arkansas.
Chairman HIT declines to make public
the text of the resolutions.
The preamble of the first resolution re-
cites the language used in both speeches.
and condemns ambassador Bayard for its
use. The tenor of the second resolution
does not differ from that outlined above.
1t is said to take the form of rule of con-
duct for ambassadors and other represent
tatives abroad, reaffirming in stronger
language the rules in vogue at the State
Department during the period that Mr..
Bayard filled the office of Secretary.

UNREST IN THE
GERMAN CABINET.
Rumors Continue to Float
of designations of
Ministers.
THE CRISIS POSTPONED.
But There Is a Prospect of Further
Trouble in Increasing Credits
for the Navy.
HONOR TO THE LATE DIPLOMAT

Detail to ambassador Runyon's
Funeral.

BERLIN, GERMANY, Feb. 1.-The rumors
which have been in circulation here of the
impending resignation of Prince Won Ho-
henlohe, the Imperial Chancellor; Herr
Won Boetticher, Minister of the Imperial
Home Office and representative of the
Chancellor, and Herr Holman, the head
of the Imperial Admiralty, have been
traced to journalists who claim connection
with high official sources Of information.
The rumors, of course, created great stir
until they were semi-officially denied,
when the interest they had awakened SUBJ
sided. If there is nothing behind these
reports the Government officials have had
themselves to blame for the circulation in
choosing as mediums OF spreading in
formation upon previous occasions men
whom they are now obliged to repudiate
In spite of these officially inspired
denials, however, some responsible news
papers persist in the assertion that a
ministerial crisis is merely postponed. In
support of this contention the Neue
Nachrichten recalls the circumstances that
the late Chancellor, General Won Caprivi,
upon the eve of his dismissal from office
received orders from the Emperor to
assure the Ministers of the several federal
states that the then current stories OF @
Ministerial crisis were positively without
foundation. Nevertheless General Caprivi
was relieved within very few days there
after.
The Hanover Courier insists that crisis
is latent, the Emperor persisting in his
notion of asking the Reichstag for large
increase of naval credits for the construc-
ton of additional warships, etc., which
Prince Hohenlohe has declared to be
impossible.
Within the ministerial circle. Prince
Hohenlohe is credited with having taken
more hopeful view regarding the voting
of increased naval credits by the Reich
stag, assuming that he is able to manage
coalition of the Conservatives and Agra
rians or the National Liberals and Agra
rians. The chief difficulty in the way Of
such a combination, however, is the fact
that since the defeat of the .Kanitz grain
monopoly proposal the majority in the
Reichstag is bitterly hostile to the Minis
tiers.

Ready for the Presidential Nomination If
1t Is rendered.
CHICAGO, ILL, Feb. Senator Shelby
NJ. Cullom departed for Washington this
evening, and left behind an understanding
with the Repub lican party leaders in Cook
County as TO bis position as Presiden tial
candidate. He told all whom he conferred
with that he would ''be pleased to have the
support of the Illinois delegation in the
convention" which admission is copsid-
cred by the,party men as declaration of
receptive candidate such as Benjamin
Harrison is said to be by his friends.
Senator Cullom intimated to his party
associates that he disapproved of any
statesman seeking the Presidential nomi-
nation, and preferred not to publicly an
nounce himself as candidate for the
honor. Prominent Republicans did not
speak enthusiastically of the senior Sena-
tor as Presidential possibility, but re-
garded him as the foremost Republican
from Illinois in public life and, naturally,
the favorite son, who would be good card
for the Illinois delegation to hold up their
sleeves to play as contingency.

COMP L|CAT TONS

An American Consul to Be

Violated Consular Regulations in
Cabling Direct to the State
Department.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. lin view
of the complications in the Transvaal
arising out of the arrest of American citi-
zens there, the President will soon appoint
Consul at Cape Town to fill the vacancy
there, which has existed since Charles II.
Benedict of Minnesota died some mouths
ago. The present Vice-Consul and Acting
Consul, Mr.. knight, is an Englishman,
born in the colony.
President Cleveland and Secretary Olney
have the matter of the appointment of a
Consul under consideration, and may be
expected to decide very soon.,
Secretary Olney declined to say any
thing to-day about the news from johann
nesburg that he had cabled declaration
to the effect that the United States would
act independently of England in seeking
a settlement in the case Of Hammond and
the other Americans arrested. Whether
or not Mr.. Olney has sent such dispatch
he will undoubtedly adhere to that posi-.
ton which has been the consistent policy
of the administration.
Secretary Olney also declined to be seen
with reference to the statement that Vice
Consul knight of Cape Town had threat
ened to suspend Mr.. Manyon, our con-
sular agent at johannesburg, for COM
municating directly with Secretary Olney
instead of through MIR. Knight, his imme-
date superior. AS matter of fact, Mr..
Monyon did violate consular regulation
in cabling directly to Secretary Olney, but
he had the excuse that Mr.. Olney, who
has little regard for red tape, sent him d.
rectly cable that did not pass through
Mr.. Knights hands. Mr.. Manyon is a ma
tive of New York, though he was ap-
pointed consular agent as a resident of
South Africa.

1t was also decided to locate the head.
quarters of the National Committee at the
Palmer House. There was an informal
discussion on the appointment of a ser.
geant-at-arms, the only names mentioned
being John S. Cooper, president of the
Cook County Democracy, and Elijah
Brooks of Indiana. 1t was agreed how
ever, that no definite selection should be
made until the next meeting of the SUBJ
committee, which will be held in this city
upon future date TO be selected by Ma
tiona Chairman Harrity.
The members of the committee spent
the morning IN an inspection of the Col
liseum, which is still in course of construc-
ton, but under contract to be completed
by May 1. and of Tattersall's, the only
other auditorium that has been submitted
for its consideration. No attempt was
made by the local committee to influence
the National committeeman in reaching
a conclusion between the two buildings.
When the party was at the coliseum there
was some hesitancy in expressing favor
able opinion on account of its distance
from the center of the city, while fears
were expressed that the close proximity

The Journal is having the same
kind of a tussle in Reno with the
County Commissioners as the APPEAL
has had in this county for years. The
law against Commissioners being in
terested in county contracts is very
severe. A violation of it means loss
OF office and service in the penitenti-
airy. All money taken illegally from
the treasury can be recovered by q
suit brought by any taxpayer. The
felony clause of the statute outlaws in
three years. but the right of any tax
payer to SUE and recover does not out
law. The Journal charges that T. X.
Hymers a County Commissioner lets
contracts to his pets has the claims
assigned to him and then passes en-
them.
He is thus clearly interested in the
contract and comes under the section
Of the statute making such offenses
felonious. If the Grand Jury and
