lice judge. 1t was one of the hottest
contests waged In recent years in a
municipal election In this city, and the
combined pull of the Juvenile gentle
men" and the outside influence was too
much for the democrats and they went
down after a hard struggle. Voting
began early in most of the wards and
there was not much falling Off from
the registration. The hardest fight
was in the Third ward. where j. M.
Evans and F. L. Darbee were candi-
dates for aldermen. and when the polls
closed nobody could safely predict the
outcome OF the battle of ballots. OAR

DO NOT PULL TOGETHER
Recently Converted Silver Men Not Much
Trusted.
Lack of Harmony Among Bryan's
SuppOrters-Opposlt to the
Eastern influence.

There are signs Of mutual distrust among
the sey yeral elements that are supporting
Bryan. 1t is demonstrated how that there
cannot be a complete fusion arranged be-
tween the democrats and populists, and an
additional disturbance Of harmony Is found
in the disposition Of the extremists not to
accept the professions Of good faith and
party loyalty made by democrats now sup
porting the Chicago ticket who nave not
been as radical as they. It is not enough
supporting the Bryan ticket. or even that
they have voted heretofore for free silver.
They appear to think that no man can be
trusted who has not shouted himself red
in the face for silver during the past twen-
ty years.
This extravagant spirit, encouraged by a
blind faith that there is a great uprising Of
the people, threatens to deprive Mr.. Bryan
OF that assistance of experienced men
without which his campaign must be a
headless thing. or else to SO hamper the
managers as to render their work largely
ineffective. The hitch over the establish
ment Of their national headquarters at
Washington, where Senator Jones wants
them, Is due to the fear On the part CT the
eXtre miSts that eastern influences might
extract some of the red fire from lhe cam
paign.

EARLY SETTLEMENT EXPECTED.

Statement In the House of Commons
Regarding the Venezuelan Dispute.
LONDON, August 1.-THE first lord of
the treasury, Mr.. A. ]. Balfour, in the
house OF commons, replying to Sir William
Vernon Harcourt, the liberal leader, who
requested information relative to the pro-
gress of the negotiations for arbitration of
the Venezuelan dispute, asking whether the
apparent difficulties had been removed by
the proposal of the United States contained
in the dispatch of June r. said that the
government was still considering the latest
proposals of Secretary Olney, which are re-
garded as opening the way for an equita BILE
settlement.
Mr.. Balfour added that the government
has every reason to expect that the pend
ing negotiations will lead to an early set
tlement of the dispute.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt said he
thought the house of commons would re-
gard Mr.. Balfour's statement as eminently
satisfactory. (Cheers) He added that.
considering the anxiety felt on the subject
throughout the country, and since the ne
gotiations had assumed shape which led
to the belief that the papers on the subject
can be communicated to the house at an
early day, he hoped that this would be
communicated to the public as soon as pos
sible.
YES" answered Mr.. Balfour, "it is the
desire of the government to communicate
the papers as soon as this can be done
without prejudice to the public's interest.

Controller BOw1er's Decision In the
Dispute With Howard Cniversity.
Judge Bowler, controller of the treasury
has given a decision in favor of Freed
mems Hospital in the controversy between
the officers Of that institution and the Off
GERS of Howard University in regard to the
heating and lighting Of certain rooms used
by the university. The story Is told in a
letter sent by Controller Bowler to the
District Commissioners today, as follows:
II I'm In receipt of your letter of the 18th
instant, stating that the buildings and
grounds used by the Freedmen's Hospital
are rented from Howard University, the
latter reserving solely for its own purposes
certain rooms in the medical department;
that the trustees Of the university have
demanded that the Commissioners shall
pay as rental for the buildings and grounds
used by the hospital the sum of $1,000 for
the fiscal year 1897. and in addition shall
provide for heating and lighting the rooms
reserved by the university for it's own use
at an estimated cost OF about 81 ,GhO.
''You ask whether payment is authorized
of the sum required to heat and light the
rooms reserved by the university.

Fer rent of hospital building and

For fuel and light electric lights
and other absolutely necessary ex-
penses, 81, 800
THE above appropriation for fuel, light,
&c, was clearly made for heating and
lighting the Freedmen's Hospital and Asy-
lum. and not for heating and lighting any
portion of the university.
las the total appropriation Of $4,000 for
the rent of the hospital buildings and
grounds is exhausted by the rent demanded
by the trustees of the university and as
the appropriation for fuel and light Is not
available for the payment of the further
demand made by the trustees, and as there
is no other appropriation available for the
payment of such a charge, payment Of any
