The democratic cohorts began to gather
early in the vicinity of the Academy of
Music this morning, and the places I'm the
neighborhood where comfort for the inner
as well as the outer man could be obtained
were surprisingly well patronized for such
time of day. The candidates and .heir
friends. among whom were many of the
delegates who were to participate in the
days proceedings at the Academy. were
busy exchanging information over the prob
abilities and endeavoring to secure some
adequate idea of what would be done. It
was rumoi ed around long before converting
time that opposition to the combine ticket
would use money plentifully to secure VIC
tory for their side of the contest, and many
delegates appeared to be anxious to find
out where and when the distribution would
take place. 1t was finally learned that

He Will Become General Counsel of n
Railway Company.
1t is extremely probable that Assistant
Attorney General John I. Hall will tender
his resignation to tine President within two
months. Judge Hall has just returned here
from Atlanta. and he said today that, while
he had not yet resigned, he may do so
later in the spring. He has been offered
the general eounselship of the Georgia
Southern and Florida railroad. Mr., Hall
denied that Secretary Hoke Smith, who
represented the bondholders in the recent
foreclosure of the mortgage on the road
had any knowledge Of the prospective ap-
pointment until after the offer had been
made, and in stating that the matter had
no. political significance, Judge Hall said:
Il have no thought that Secretary Smith
will become candidate, and I have no
Idea that he has had any thought of enter
iES the race for the senatorship. He fire.
quently has been urged by his friends to
do so, but has never given his consent"
Judge Hall Is a close friend and fellow
Georgian of the Secretary, who at the be-
ginning of his administration secured his
appointment to take charge of the legal af-
fairs of the Interior Department. The con-
tract between the Georgia Southern and
Florida and it's present general counsel

termination of the contract is required
Judge A. s. Little of Columbus, Ga, in all
probability, will be Mr.. Halls successor in

THE PRESIDENTS POSITION.
He Will Tell Congress Why He Or
poses Cuba BeIligcrent Rights.

The adoption of Senator Hoar's resolu-
ton calling upon the President for informa-
tion regarding the situation in Cuba will
afford the President an opportunity to
state his views with respect to the ex-
pediency and propriety of recognizing the
belligerency of the insurgents under ex-
isting conditions. Notwithstanding his re-
cent statement disavowing responsibility
for the semi-of1icial "deliverance" popular
ly attributed to Secretary Olney, there is
good reason for the belief that it was an
accurate exposition Of his views on the
subject.
1t is known that Secretary Olney has
becn engaged Of late in the preparation of
some important state paper, elating, it is
said. to the Cuban affair, and the belief
prevails that the President will make it
the basis of a message to Congress, giving
his reasons why he does not deem it expe-
dent to recognize the belligerency Of the
insurgents under prevailing conditions. 1t
is fully expected that a message outlining
the policy of the administration will ac-
company the Cuban correspondence, which
will be sent to Congress probably next
week, in response to Senator Hoar's reso-
luton.
Regardless of the sending of such a mes
sage, there is not a shadow of a doubt tina
the President is opposed to the granting OF
beligerent rights to Cuba just at present,

To BE DOcked Saturday.
STRUCK

1t is not doubted at the Navy Depart.
ment that the battle ship Indiana, which
sailed day before yesterday from Hampton
Roads for Port Royal, S. c., to be docked
ran into the center ef the hurricane which
swept along the Atlantic coast yesterday
and probably struck the ship off Hatteras
Not the least anxiety Is felt for the safety
or the big ship. however, and, in fact, the
naval authorities, while they would not de
n1crately send the ship out into such
weather. are rather pleased at the oppor-
tunlty to test her quality in that respect
L. Is believed that Capt. Evans, who is a
careful navigator, put the ships head
straight out to sea at the first sign of Sc

OIL the Hatteras shore, to insure plenty OF
sea room in the blow.
Stanchness In Bad Weather.
The designers of our naval vessels are
pioud Of their stanchness in bad weather
and are particularly gratified at the results
OF an encounter of the Olympia with big
gale off the Japanese coast about month
ago. just reported to the Navy Depart
ment. The ship was driven straight into
the storm, to test her quality, and the re-
suits. as seen from the decks of passing
merchant craft. and made the subject OF

newspaper accounts, driven into the sea a,
the great speed of twenty-one knots pei
hour and the picture shows almost nothing
OF the hull below the smokepipes, the seas
lying clear over the ship from stem to
stern. AS this performance followed close
upon some adverse criticism in the Japan
ese and Chinese newspapers upon the fail
ure of the Olympia to beat a British mail
steamer which was running at seventeen
knots, our naval authorities regard it as a
sufficient v.nd.cat:on of the speed and sea
worthiness Of our warships.
To BE DOcked Saturday.
1t is probable that the battle ship Indiana
VIII be put in dry dock at Port Royal Sat
urday morning. The ship has never been
in dock since receiving her armor, more
than year ago, and although her hull has
since then been partially cleaned by divers
the plating has thus been left exposed un-
protected by fresh paint. and it is highly
deslrable that the bottom be taken care OF
properly at the earliest possible moment
1T was expected that the Port ROYAL dock
the only one in the country that can re-
celve the Indiana today, would be ready for
the ship weeks ago, but owing to the dis
covery of important leaks at critical points
repairs were necessary, that have made ii
impossible up to this TINA TO use the dock.

Of each house of yesterday be read. An
objection was made tofthe reading and the

that he had understood that only the

wrnngle Over the Journal.
Bronston made the point that the journal
of the joint assembly must include the jour-
nals Of each house. He made the argument
made yesterday, that there was no separate
journal kept Of the joint assembly, and that
it was therefore necessary to have separate
journals of each horse read in accordance
with the law.
Mr.. Landes said that the joint assembly
had no jurisdiction to change or correct
anything that occurred in either house yes
terday, and that Bronston had no right to
make request to have anything read save
the journal Of the joint assembly. He
asked the chair to declare the gentleman
out of order.
Mr.. Blanford said that the joint assem-
part of the journal Of the house senate
of yesterday, and therefore he decided that
neither should be read
Brohs.on said: THE time has come when
we must understand each other. The jour-
nails of the house and senate of yesterday
are but a part of the journal of the joint
assembly"
He argued at length.
The chair decided that the joint assembly
was a separate assembly, distinct from
each house. and that the member was only
entitled to have read proceedings of the
joint assembly.
After more wrangling, Salyer (democrat)
moved that the reading of the journal of
joint assembly be dispensed with Agreed

Trying to Clear the Floor.
Before the call of the roll on the ballot
was begun Senator Bronsten stated that
he understood that there was stationed
in the corridor a platoon of police, he sup
posed for the purpose Of preserving peace
and good order. He continued: II ask
why certain persons now on the floor Of
this house are here. l ask first as a
request and second motion that every
one be excluded from the floor of this

officers and the press"
Mr.. BarLatt made the point that the mo-
ton was out of order.
The chair said he thought the motion was
out of order, but he would put it to the as
sembly any way.
The republicans refused to vote, with the
intention of breaking q quorum Edring-
ton voted with the democrats for the mo-
tion, as did Poor. The chair announced

A Basis of Settlement.

The Interior Department has submitted to
the Otoe and Missouria Indians, and to the
settlers who purchased land within that
reservation, a basis for settlement Of the
disputes that have existed between them
for some time. 1t proposes, among other
things, to allow settlers a rebate of five
years interest on deferred payments, and
provides that the balance due from these
settlers be paid in five equal annual INSTALL
ments, without interest, on the express con-
dition that failure to meet any one of the
annual payments shall work forfeiture of
the entry. This will be urged upon both
sides as the most practicable plan of ad-
iustment.

THE PRICE OF GAS
A Broad Resolution for Information
Adopted by the Senate
Sworn Statements to he Called For
From the Washington Gas
Light Company.

The question of the price of gas in the
District of Columbia was briefly agitated in
the Senate this morning. There Is a very
general desire on the part of Senators to
obtain Information in this matter, and
had it not been for formal objection the
Senate would doubtless have passed in the
morning hour very comprehensive reso-
luton asking for great variety of IN
formation relative to the manufacture and
price of gas in the District. In view of the
fact that the dollar gas bill has already
passed the House and is now pending in
the Senate District committee. with the
probabilities all leaning toward favor

today is taken by many to indicate that
the upper house will speedily give its con-

mitted e resolution directing the District
committee to make an investigation of the
gas question. 1t has been laid over from
day to day, and today when it came up for
action Mr.. Call explained that it was in
troduced at the request of a large number
Of persons interested in the subject of
gas lighting in the District.
He asked for present considerations but Mr..

suggested an amendment, and was followed
by Mr.. Hawley, who suggested a further
amendment, and then MIR. Hoar suggested
another amendment in the nature of an
addition, until the resolution was material
ly heightened. Mr.. Call then asked for its
immediate consideration, but Mr.. Wolcott
suggested that in view of the several
amendments made verbally on the floor Of
the Senate the, resolution ought to be
printed anew, so that ii could be acted
upon more inteliger tly. This objection, OF
course, prevented immediate action, and
the resolution was laid over, to be called
up on the next legislative day. AS it now
stands the resolution reads as follows:

Owing 20 the limited number of advance
copies of the British blue book containing

SO far the commission has been obliged to
struggle along with one single copy. which
is, of course, inadequate for the stimuli
taneous study of all of the members, but it
is expected that within day or two the
mails will bring sufficient supply of the
documents from London to facilitate the
progress of the work. Meanwhile, far as
the document has been examined, it can be
stated that it is not regarded as bearing
out the promise Of fnyulnerability claimed
for it in London. In many points it is said
to be open to impeachment as to actual his

siderable supplementary support to enable

A Satisfactory Outcome Expected.

A Satisfactory Outcome Expected.
According to the best authority, matters
are proceeding in such fashion as to war;
rant the belief that there will be a satis-
factory outcome. 1t is admitted that at
present it cannot be told whether the
ultimate settlement Of this question will
be effected as the result of direct negotia-
tions between Great Britain and Venezuela
initiated through the medium of sorne
mutually friendly power, or as the con-
clusion of the work Of our own Ven ,zuelan
boundary commission, but in one way or
the other a peaceful and honorable settle
ment of the dispute is believed to be en-
tirely probable in the end, though this end
may be still far removed in point of time.
No Direct Negotiations Yet.
If negotiations directly between Vene-
zuela and Great Britain have been resumed
at Caracas, the fact is not known to the
officials here, who should surely be advised
for their own guidance. Inasmuch as the
Venezuelan commission is proceeding dill
gently to the discharge of its duty of
weighing all of the evidence obtainable re-
specting the actual location of the bounda-
ry line and in this has been assured of the
cooperation informally, ii is true, to
