MIR. ELkINS mot DOWNED."
What He Says About the West Nir-
Rinin Republican Convention.

Senator Elkins said today that the re-
ports from the West Virginia republican
convention, printed in the morning p:.pers
were designed to create an erroneous i'm
preston in that they stated that his forces
had been "downed' by the Mckinley peo-
Pile The Senator said: Il took no part
whatever in the convention, because
wanted the delegates to do exactly as they
desired in the matter of instructing the
men sent to st. Louis. 1t is, therefore, un-
true, when it is said that 1 was beaten
when the convention instructed for Nc
Kinley. do not believe in working against
instructions.
when 1 was making the fight of nv
life, while 1 was in the cabinet to secure
the denomination of President Harrison /
did not try to get instructions from our
state convention, but let the delegates do
just As they saw fit. This year 1 sent INV
private secretary up there to keep an eye
on things and to let me know how matters
were running, and told him to give every
one distinctly to understand that / did not
desire to interfere in the least with the will
OF the convention as to presidential prefer
ences, but that if a hundred men wanted
to instruct for Mckinley, or anybody else
to let them have their way
Il am sure my orders in that particular
were carried out, and there is no feeling ON
my part because Of anything the conyen-
ton has done"

The Work Done Today.
The advisory board requested until to-
morrow morning to make its report, and
this was granted.
One of the first reports made to the con-
ventIon this morning was that of the COM
mittee on agitation and education. The
committee expressed the belief that agita-
ton without education was dangerous. 1t
believed in education first. The committee
recommended that bureau of Information,
consisting Of the supreme president and one
member of each state council, be establish
ed to more thoroughly carry on the work OF
education. The committee also recon-
mended that the Junior A. p. A. be put
under the control of the Woman's A. Z. A
The committee further recommended that
all property In the United States, except
that owned and used by national. state and
municipal governments, be taxed.
The convention went into committee of
the whole to consider the report and on
rising reported back that the report had
been adopted.
The committee on ritual and paraphor-
MALTA made its report. The considers ton
of this report was interrupted for re-
cess, and it was agreed that there should
be an afternoon session to continue the
consideration of the report No material
changes it is said, are recommended in
the ritual, at least nothing that weakens
the principles of the order.
Aid for the Armenians.
During the morning hours a recess was
taken to listen to an address by Herant
]. Kretchjian, general secretary of the Ar
nenian Relief Association. AT the conclu-
sion of the address contribution was

olution of thanks to the speaker was also
adopted. It is probable that the convention
VIII adopt resolutions on the Armenian
question.
At II o'clock recess was taken until :,
o CLOCK in the afternoon. .
Speeches by Congrcssmen.
From noon until o'clock the delegates
listened to speeches from congressman
who are members of the order. Five Con-
gressmen were present and made speeches.

Depository Banks Asked for Govern
mcnt Money Which They HnId-

NEW YORK, May 15.-The Treasury De-
partment has issued further call on the
depository banks, graded according to the
amount of their holdings of government
money. The aggregate amount so held at
this time is approximately s9.o000o0.
The call is a general one on all the de-
pcstory banks for - per cent of their hold
irgs Of government money, TO be paid on or
before June /. A rough estimate of the
amount held by the depos tory banks is be-
tween SS5G0,ooo and S9,Wn,ppo, and the draft
on the money will, accordingly he for half
that sum. AT the subtreasury and at the
banks it is stated that no important change
in money rates is likely to result at the
moment from the call, owing to the large
continued receipts of funds from the interior
and heavy amounts of foreign capital that
are Offering in this market.

Paris for the present. he is a ful-fedgad
American citizen. He is a native of Bos-
ton, but has spent much of his life abroad
in study. He is accompanied by Mr. III.
Hornbostel, an American architect. residing
in Paris. who designed the architectural
features which form such prominent part
OF this design.
Mr.. Rhind. who was the second arrival.
selected large room just back of the main
entrance. where he has plenty of space. but
is compelled to use electric light. The base
and pedestal of Mr.. Bartletts model are in
position. but the equestrian statue and
alleSorical figures are still to be mount
ed. The model of Mr.. Rhind is more ai-
vanoed in preparation, and shows the statue
in place.
The model of Mr. Carl Rohl Smith is
being Tnpacked today and will be set up
without delay. That of Mr.. Nehaus will
probably be in position by tomorrow. AL
though the models of Messrs. Bartlett ard
Rhind will undoubtedly be ready before

models will he deferred until Monday next
time to complete their work. The models
will remain on exhibition about two weeks.

RESUl OF THE CAUCUS
Republican Senators Will Vots on tn
Du Pont Case Today.
The Free Alcohol Bill and That Re-
1atfng to Fruit Brandies Discussed
-AdJOurnment by June L.

The republican caucus today practically
decided that the Du Pont case must be
voted upon finally today according to the
unanimous agreement, and that motion
to postpone will not likely be made.
1t was ascertained that 1t was almos:
certain that the republicans could not Sc
cure strength enough TO seat Du Pont. All
the populists and democrats will vote
against him, unless II be Stewart of Ne
vada, who may not vote, in which event
the Senate would be tie. Jones, populist,
CT Nevada, has left the city, but a pair has
been arranged between him aad Mr.. VOL
cCtt, SO that his vote will count against
Du Pont. An affirmative majority vote is
necessary to seat Du Pont. The caucus
discussed briefly a program of business,
but no conclusion was reached, the steering
committee stating that 1t would be ready to
report next Monday. The impression was
that nothing but the appropriation bills
would be considered.
There was considerable discussion of the
bill to repeal the existing law in regard
to alcohol in the arts, which was pre-
cipitated by a statement made by Mr.. Sner-
man that the passage of the bill was Very
much desired by the Treasury Department
on account of the revenue II would bring
to the treasury.
Senator PIatt and others manifested i'm
mediate opposition to any effort to get the
bill Up, and Senator Dubois complained of
the action of the finance committee in re-
porting the bill as an amendment to the
bill in which he is much interested regard
ing the tax on fruit brandies, which he
said there would be no difficulty in passing
but for this order" This brought. on a
general discussion as to the parliamentary
status of the two bills. No voting test of
the caucus was made, but there a
sufficiently general expression friendly to
the separation of the two measures to lead
the friends of the brandy bill to conclude
that the caucus was favorable to the sepa-
ration and to hope that the finance COM
mittee will withdraw the alcohol bill an
amendment.
The sense of the caucus was not taken
directly on the question of considering the
alcohol bill independently, but it was made
so evident that an attempt to pass IL would
lead to prolonged debate that many of the
members of the caucus think the effort will
lot be seriously made, if at all. The pre-
ponderance of sentiment was against at
tempting to pass any bill except the re-
naming appropriation bills which would
cause much or any debate. Several mem
bers of the caucus expressed the belief
that final adjournment was possible by the
lst of June, and the entire tenor of the
conference was favorable to working to
this end.

THE PROPOSED REFORMS.
What the Spanish Minister Tells Sec
retnrN OIneN Abnuf ,Thcm

The Spanish minister here has acquainted
Secretary Olney with the tenor of the re-
forms which the Spanish government pro-
poses 70 make in the administration of af-
fairs IN Cuba, and the subject has been
earnestly discussed between them The
minister has shown that, liberal as were
the measures of reform held out to the
Cubans in the act of the cortes of March,
1S!3, which were prevented from going into
operation, as he contends, solely by reason
OF the actions of the separatists they are
far surpassed in generosity by the terms Of
the new act to which the queen regent re-
ferred in fer speech from the throne at the
recent opening of the sessions of the cor
ties.
In The Spanish view, Cuba, under the
OPERATION of the terms of this act would
enjoy measure of autonomy compara Die
to that enjoyed by the dominion of Can
ada. 1t is said that the principal obstacle
to the immediate application Of these re-
forms to the island lies in the indisposition
of the Spanish government to be placed in
the position of being obliged by fear of the
rebels to make these concessions, but there
Is reason to believe that this point may be
yielded and the measure applied shortly
II II can be shown. perhaps through the
good offices of the United States that the
Spanish government may 90 this without
the least reflection upon the honor of tine
nation.

LIQUOR IN THE CAPITOL.
Reporting of 81 House Bill Prohibit q
It's Sale in That Building.

The House committee on public buildings
and grounds today made favorable report
on the bill introduced by Mr.. Little, provid-
ing that 1t shall be unlawful for anyone to
sell, dispense otherwise dispose of in
toxicatins liquors of any kind, or any COM
pound preparation thereof either in the
Capitol building or upon any part of the
public grounds upon which the building is
situated. A penalty of 500 fine is provided
for violations of this provision, and the
courts of the District of Columbia exercis-
ing criminal jurisdiction are given Jur:sdic-
ton over this matter.
The report of the committee, which was
drawn by Mr.. Morse of Massachusetts,
says that the sale of Intoxicating drinks in
the restaurants of the national Capitol is
unseemly, unsuitable and gives offense to a
large and respectable number of citizens
of the United States, being a just cause of
public scandal The traffic therefore should
be entirely prohibited.

THOSE EXPLOSIVE BULLETS.
ordnance Officers Dfscredit the State
ment Coming From Madrid.

The statement coming from Madrid to
the effect that the Spanish government has
complained to the powers that the Cubans
have been using explosive bullets procured
IN the United States has attracted the at
tent1on OF ordnance officers here, and with
out exception they express disbelief in the
story. They say that nowhere in the
United States, within their knowledge, are
explosive Eullets made, nor have they been
used here Stree the early days of our late
war, when they were withdrawn by order
of President Lincoln. 1t is presumed that
tne Spanish authorities have been led into
this superstition owing to the fact that
the wounds produced by the modern small
bore rifle, when its steel.clad projectile is
clipped at the point, are of such char
acter, by reason of the mushrooming of
the bullet, as to appear to have been
caused by an explosive
