SILVER IN VlR GIN A
Representative Otey Gives Some Statistics
as to the Delegates Elected.
Belief That the Unit Rule VIII De
Adopted at the Coming State
Convention.

Representative Otey of Virginia is leading
the fight for silver in that state. He is state
chairman Of tho democratic party, as well.
When asked by a Star reporter this morn
ing II there was anything new in the Vir-
g.nia situation Mr.. Otey said:
"As I Will leave here today or tomorrow
for Lynchburg, and will be absent several
days, l will give you a statement of how
the vote stands up to May 20. 1t is as fol-
lows: Number of counties, cities and towns
in the state, us, of which 100 have already
elected delegates to the Staunton conven-
ton, which meets June 4. The total num-
ber Of delegates in the convention will be
1,639 OF this number 1851 have been
elected
THE number Of silver delegates so far
elected Is 1,UO2; gold delegates, 267; unin-
structed 81. OF the 2sS delegates to be
elected l estimate that silver will get 1s5
and gold 103.. This will make the Staunton
convention stand 1.1s7 for silver. 80 for
gold and 81 unclassified. Five counties
have so far given solid vote-61 delegates
for gold; sixty-nine counties have given
solid vote-S16 delegates-for silver; twenty
six counties have divided, giving 2O6 for
gold and 1S6 for silver
Unit Rule VIII BE Adopted.
Silver men say that the unit rule will
be adopted and that the solid delegation OF
the state will be for silver. This will be
vigorously opposed by the gold men, ana
the enforc enent Of the rule may result
seriously.
Representative Otey's home county,
Brunswick. passed resolutions instructing
him TO cast the full vote of the county If
none of the other delegates are present.
Lynchburg will elect dele gates tomorrow
and Staunton Friday.

SECRETARY LAMoNT'S LETTER.
Statement That 1t Was Not Voluntary
Information to Mr.. Sayers.

1t is said at the War Department that
Secretary Lamont's action in regard to
the appropriation for the victims Of the
Fords Theater disaster has been misun-
derstood. The facts in the case, as stated
at the War Department, are these: May
90 Secretary Lamont received letter
from Judge Sayers of Texas requesting
certain inform 1tion in regard to the claim
ants for damages growing cut of that dis
aster. In the usual routine of business
this letter was referred to Col. Ainsworth
chief Of the record and pension office, and
was subsequently, returned by him to the
Secretary with report, giving the re-
quested information, which report the Sec
retary transmitted to Judge Sayers, with
'out comment, as an answer to his COM
munication. Col. Ainsworth's report con-
tanned the statement drawn up by Mr.
Brown, the officia, in charge of the 10th
street branch of the office. and indorsed
by several Of the other officials of that di-
vision. This report stated in substance
that eleven of the beneticiaries named in
the appropriation act as passed by the
Senate were not justly entitled to any re-
lief from the government in consequence
of the accident to the theater building
Special emphasis is laid upon the state
ment that Secretary Lament did not vol
unteer this information, and that 1t was
sent to Judge Sayers in a purely perfume
tory way only after he had made special
applica ation for it.

GOING TO GRAY GABLES,
Mrs. Cleveland and the Children Will
Leave Next Week.

In anticipation Of the adjournment Of
Congress early next month preparations
are being made at the White House and
at Woodley fer the early removal of the
presidential household to their summer
home at Gray Gables. on the shores of
Buzzard's bay. Mrs. Cleveland and the
children will leave here early next week
for Gray Gables. They will be accom-
panied a greater portion of the journey by
Mrs. olney, who has arranged to spend
the summer at Falmouth, Mass. The
President will join Mrs. Cleveland at Gray
Gables Immediately after the adjournment
of Congress, and 1t Is expected that all the
members of the cabinet will speedily fol-

Secretary Olney will spend the summer
at Falmouth, and Secretary Lamont will
seek recreation at Seabright, N. j., where
his family has preceded him.
Mrs. Cleveland and the children will
make the trip to Gray Gables by rail, but

vate yacht Oneida or on one Of the revenue
cutters or light house vessels at New York.

BOTH CONFIRMED.
The Commissioner of Pensions and
the Assistant Comm issiOner.


the Assistant COMMISSIONER
The Senate in executive session TODAY
confirmed the nomination of Dominic I.
Murphy, to be commissioner of pensions.
and Napoleon j. T. Dana, to be assistant
commissioner.
The executive session was ordered early
in the day for the purpose OF disposing of
these nominations while there was a quo
rum present. The proceeding in executiv,
session was little more than formal in it's
nature. Having received assurance that
the opposition to the confirmation Of Mr..
Dana would mot be pressed, Senator Gal
lingeT withdrew his motion for the recon-
sideration Of the vote by which Mr. Muir
phys nomination had been confirmed at a
previous session. Mr.. Murphy was then
confirmed without opposition. Senator
Pasco, who had in a former session op-
posed Mr. Dana's confirmation at that
time, stated the reasons for his position
saying that he cnly desired that Mr.
Dana's fitness for the office should be in
vestigated in view of the fact that there
were two reports on file in the Senate on
a bill to place Gen. Dana on the retired
list of the army, saying that he was in
capable of work on account Of advanced
age
Senator Gallinger, chairman Of the COM
mittee on pensions, replied, saying that he
had investigated the facts in Mr.. Danas
perform the duties of the office Senators
Palmer, hardler, Sewell and others testi-
fled as to Gen. Dana's fitness for the po-
stion. There was no division on the mo-
ton to confirm.
The nomination of W. H. Fowle to be
internal revenue collector for the sixth
Virginia district was reached, but went
over at the suggestion Of Mr.. Daniel.
Other COMBINATIONS.
The Senate also made the following con-
firmations: William Franklin Sands of the
District of Columbia to be second secretary
of the legation of the United States at
Tokyo, Japan.
Postmasters-Maine, Edward H. Chase at
Dexter; Florida, A. P. Jordan, at Leesburg;
Illinois, John C. Neltnor, at West Chicago;
Mary A. Harrington, at Geneva; Nebraska,
Bernard Monnich, at Hooper,; w. S. Cor
mutt, at Culbertson.
Also Lieut.. Samuel c. Lemly of the Unit
ed State navy to be judge advocate general
of the navy, with the rank of captain in
the navy.
Also a number Of minor offices in the
navy.

RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
The President Getting Data to Use in
His Coming Veto MessaEc.

His Coming Veto Message.
1t Is an open secret that the President
has fully decided to veto the river and
harbor approx Ration bill, and that he is
even now engaged in the preparation of a
message returning the bill to Congress
with a full statement of his objections to
it's becoming law. The officials of the
War Department, including the officers Of
the corps of engineers, have been called
upon to furnish a mass Of data for the
Presidents information on the subject.
There is a possibility that the veto message
may be sent in before the close of the
present week, but If not 1t will undoubtedly
go in early next week. The constitutional
time limit in which this measure may he
returned will expire next Wednesday even
ing, but it Is not believed that the Presi-
dent will need more than a few days longer.
He is said to favor an early adjourn
ment and Is not liable to do anything to
interfere with that result.
1t Is understood that he bases his objec-
ton to the river and harbor bill on the gen.
eral ground that the government finances
do not warrant such expenditures as 1t
carries. regardless Of the merits of the
works. 1t ls also asserted that he holds
that the measure carries to dangerous
extreme the plan Of committing the gov
ernment to large expenditures through con-
tnuous contracts.
Feeling at the Capitol.
Members of the Senate and House inter
ested in the bill are certain that the bill
can be promptly passed over veto. The
time consumed in the matter, IL 1t becomes
necessary to pass the bill over veto, will
depend upon whether there is anything
said in the veto message which will COM
pei Congress to make a defense OF its
action.
The accepted theory IS that the veto, If
1t comes. will be on the ground that the
amoun. is larger than the state Of the
treasury will warrant. If this proposition
is made in a veto message it will lead to
political discussion in both houses Of Con-
gress 1t will be treated as an acknowledge
ment that the statement Of the President
In his annual message and of Carlisle in
his report that the treasury was not
troubled by deficiency of revenue was
misleading. It is held that the insistence
of the administration that revenue legis-
lation was not what was needed bars the
President from plea Of lack of money,
unless he is willing to confess that the
contention Of the republicans was correct
in spite of his former declarations to the
contrary. There will be a disposition on
the part of republicans to make the most
of this to show to the country that tariff
legislation is what is most needed to re-
lieve the treasury
