Telegram From the Senator Announce
ing His Withdrawal.
MINNEAPOLIS, March 26.-The sensa-
ton of the day in political circles was
the withdrawal of Senator Davis from
the presidential race. The announce
ment came in the form Of a telegram
from Washington to his chief friends
and advisers and was as follows:
am bound to, always did, and do
most Loyalty respect the wishes OF the
people of Minnesota; for that reason !
request that my name be not consid-
cred in the deliberations of the Mime
apolis convention Give all my friends
my most enduring and heartfelt thanks.
Minnesota Republicans should, in my
opinion, declare against the United
States undertaking the uni m ted coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to |.
Should also declare for protective
tariff that will encourage, secure and
perpetuate domestic production of
everything agricultural, mining or
manufacturing that we can produce or
make, that will in consequence cause
steady employment to be given to the
American wage Garner at wages ade-
quate to the American standard of liv-
ing; that will also pledge the Republic
an party to protect American industry
and MANHOOD against the competition
now threatening them from the
Orient, particularly Japan; that
will also, by provisions for
reciprocity, enlarge our foreign COM
merce with nations who produce
what we cannot produce; that will also
assert the policy of the United States
as declared by James Monroe and by
every one of our statesmen since; that
will also declare that the people, Of
Cuba ought to be recognized as bellig-
erents; that will also declare for coast
defenses and such other naval and
military preparation as will surely
make us able to secure peace by our
manifest invincibility in war.

effect of clearing the atmosphere, and

ing Mckinley resolution and secured
its adoption by rising vote.
Although the convention was the
largest ever held in the state every
thing went along smoothly and har-

with great enthusiasm, the only fight
on it being. made in committee, the
Ohio financial plank being voted down.

Secretary olney has issued an order Of
far reaching effect upon the American con-
sular service.
IL abolishes many of the fees against
which foreign shippers and domestic i'm
por,CrS have SO long protested and at
the same time sweeps away the lucrative
attractions of many conSIllatcs abroad,
particularly those in Great Britain, where
the loss To consular officials in the shape
of fees which they have hitherto retained
will aggregate over $500, 900. The new
amendments 10 the consular regulations are
as follows:

tiun of invoices of merchandise on the
free list or subject to specific duty only.

These regulations. which take effect at

The Treasury Department has been en-

ment OF the service in Washington.
As previously stated in The Times the
contract system OF street cleaning is like
ly TO be abolished here. The existing con-
tract expires ON the 3Oth of next June, and
the belief is that whether the work Is
hereafter done by that method or by the
District 1t is likely 10 cost more for the
succeeding year than ii has for each of
the last three, owing principally 10 the
fact that the eight-hour law will apply
at the close of the existing arrangement

The Com mIssioneIs are striving now in
advance or any recon mendation To inform
themselves as to the expense likely 10 be
incurred by the day labor plan, hand sweep
ing, instead of by machine. and whether
or not the District should continue machine

Upon these experiments and the informa
ton To be Cleaned by Supt. Mckcnsic in

to enlist Congress in behalf of some plan
that will meet the demands i'll all respects
as to efficiency as well as economy.
