The members OF the Cabinet began to
arrive shortly before IL O'Clock, secre-
tary Sherman being the first one of the
Presidents official family to put in an
appearance An OF the other Cabinet
officers came few minutes later.
The President was warmly congratu-
lated ON his improved appearance. The
Cabinet meeting was a long one, and lasted
for nearly two hours
Secretary AIger laid before the Presi-
dent report of the distribution of the
Congressional appropriation for the relief
Of the flood sufferers.
Other business OF Importance was dis
cussed, but the Cabinet officials maintained
a strict reticence as to what trans
pired.
1t is said that the President has now de-
cided to turn his attention to District
matters, and will in a short time he ready
to name the new Commissioners
The prevailing impression at the White
House is that John b. Wight, Harry L.
West. Chaplin Brown, and Commissioner
Ross stand decidedly the best chance Of
securing the coveted places.
The large humber OF candidates for the
positions, however, makes the President 5

necessarily slow.

AGREEMENT NOW In SIGHT
Republican and Democratic Steer
ing Committees Come Together.
Virtual Control of Senate Commit
tees Conceded to the Domi-
nant Party.

The steering committees Of the Repub-
lican and Democratic caucuses met sepa-
rateiy this forenoon, and after ward there
was a brief Joint meeting of the sub
committees of the two committees headed
by Senators Mcmillan and German. The
Democrats formally submitted their prop
ositiOn, which was that the Committees
should be reOrganized, existing vacancies
to be filled according to the politics of
the retiring Senators.
The Democratic Senators said they had
10 desire TO interfere with Republican
control OF the Senate, and only asked that
the present status be preserved. The Re-
publicaDs stated that they desired only TO
be assured OF the control of committees,
and TO determine what committees should
have minority Chairmen.
This proposition practically covers the
two main matters in controversy. The
Republicans desire to have full control
ofthe three greatcommittees oftbe Senate,
and also to displace the silver Republicans
from the chairmanships that they now till,
or at any rate TO have these cfairrnanships
charged TO the minority.
Pettigrew ischairmanof the COInmitteeon
indian Affairs; Mantle of National Banks,
and Teller of Claims. MIR Cannon has no
craftsmanship, but It is understood to be
part of the plan of the Demoer,Ss and their
allies that he shall succeed TO Dubois old
chairnianship OF Public Lands.
Notwithstanding the apparently wide
division between the two committees, Sem
ators OF both parties were talking this
morning more hopefully than before. Sen
ator Carter says there are many reasons
for believing that an agreement would be
reached, each side making some ccnces-
siOus.
Democratic Senators are very much in
earnest in the assertion that they concede
enough when they permit the Republi-
cans to control nearly all the committees
with less than majority of the Senate.
.'At any rate, you can depend on one
thing said o prominent member of
the Democratic steering committee
to The Times this afternoon, 1--WE shall
insist that they must abide by the arrange
ments they made when they took eonJiOl
of the Senate.
I'VE win never permit the Republicans
to punish the silver Republicans for being
true to their principles in the last cam~
paign. And all the Republican proposition
amounts to is an effort to deprive them
OF their ctairmanships and their influ-
entail places on the leading committees OF
the Senate"

struction and amendment OF general tariff

The Vice President laid before the Senate
a letter from Secretary OF War AIger reIa-
tive TO tho claim of A. II Herr for $50, 900
for the use of Hers Island at Harper's
Ferry by Union troops during the war
Accompanyin his letter was report from
the quartermaster general OF the army in
1857, stating the circumstances of the
occupation.
At IL 80 Senator Morgan took the
floor, and discussed his Cuban resolution
during the remainder of the morning hour.
He devoted much of his time to reading
from the Forum and other magazines. His
speech contained a large amount OF in
formation as TO the conditions existing
in the island, and the former commerce be-
tween the United States and Cuba, which
he asserted would be wholly destroyed by
the prolongation of the war. He said the
first Cuban revolution had lost 100 900
lives and had cost Spain $I00 200, 900.
The present war was only later ca mpaign
of the same war.
A bill was introduced for the relief of
the Potomac Steamship Company. 1t pro-
vides for the payment of $5 ,o90 for work
done by the company at Hampton Roads in
1882
A communication from the Secretar of
the Treasury as to the regulations made
by him in connection with the retroactive
duties provided for in the Dingley bill
was read, and was followed by q resolu-
ton offered by Mr.. Vest, declaring that
such regulations are without authority
OF law, and in violation of the statutes and
customs regulations"
The matter went over till tomorrow.
Mr Davis, chairman of the Committee
on Foreign Relations, gave notice of bis
intention to move ON Thursday next to
proceed to the consideration of the arbi-
tration treaty.

Petition for Pardon to Go to the
President Tomorrow.
The petition for the Communication of the
sentence imposed upon Columbus C. Fear
son, who, without executive interposi-
ton, will be hanged April3o for the murder
OF John Ford, last August, Is to be pre-
sented TO President Mckinley tomorrow
The paper represents, among other things,
that Pearson was acting in defense OF
his property, his habitation, and his life,
at the time he fired the fatal shot, and it
is also claimed that he was not given
justice at the trial.
The case upon appeal from the trial court
has just been decided by the court Of ap-
peals of the District, that tribunal holling &
that there were no grounds for the ch irge
that the accused was not fairly tried, and
a new trial was refused, thus leaving the
sentence of the court TO be carried into
effect
tits the hope Of Fearson's counsel, Messrs.
t. c. Taylor and A q. Bradley, that on ac-
count OF the prisoner great age and other
extenuating circumstances that they can
secure a Communication of the sentence TO
Imprisonment for life.
1t is asked that the President shall in
terpose, and prescribe such punishment as
would be inflicted for maDslaughter, the
limit OF which is ten years at hard labor.
This is petitioned for upon the grounds that
had there been an intermediate punishment
possible at the time of trial, he would have
been then entitled to it,
Justice Cole and eX-Assistant District
Attorney Birney viii be asked to approve
OF the petition for mercy, and it is un-
derstood they are willing to do 50. 1t is
necessary that prompt action shall be
taken. in order that there may be time
for the President TO consider the applica-
ton, the date OF execution being near.

JERRY SIMPSONS OPINION.
Doesn't Think Administration PoItey =
VIII Amount to Much.

Congressman Jerry Simpson, speaking for
the PopuIist today, said: 1--WE do not think
the Administration policy, seemingly in
favor of International bimetallism, will
amount to anything. The Republicans In
Congress are all split UP on the money
question Some want the absolute gold
standard perpetuated; some howl for in
ternational agreement and bimetalism,
which doesn' mean anything, and stillothers
are as rank advocates of the free coinage of
silver as the Popuiists.
Reed viii see that no bill gets through
Congress prior to the elections OF next year,
a big fight viii be made for delay, while
the promise will be held out that the Re
publican party viii take care of silver
eventually. We like Reed personally,
but I'm going to be on deck to conduct
q guerrilla warfare. It's all we can do
Our proposition TO join forces with the
democrats doesn't seem to be acceptable

Frankfort, Ky, April 13.-The friends
OF Henry Martin, sound money Democrat
and friend of Blackburn, are working
hard to elect him. They say the silver
to support Martin, and il they will 90 SO,
his friends say MarGin can win. Six Re-
publcans have been promised to him. To-
days ballot will be formal, as the pairs
are not allin. Tomorrow will show what
the new strength Hunter has been ae-
credi yed with having secured will iIlamountto.

A roll call showed only 5S Legislators
present., Hunter people alone having an

tor resulted: hunter. 81; no elecuon
The Hunter men defeated a motion TO 9d-
iourn, which one OF tlfeir members made
by mistake Thea there WI as tedious W ait,
M hich both sides were afraid TO make
a move. Finally the situation became so
laughabie that adjournment was agreed
upon at 1850
At / O'Clock the grand Jury adjourned
until tomorrow without returning in
dictments for alleged Senatorial bribery.
The Republican party managers here are
much exercised over the Kentucky SeHa-
toral situation. 1t is most important
for them To add that vote to their present
strength in the Senate, and it is reliably
reported that Chairman Hanna and others
have today brought heavy pressure to bear
on :he anti-Iunter Republicans in the
legislature To fall into line and prevent the
possible election of Martin, gold Demo
crat
They fear that Martin, on account of
his support of Bryan, even though differ
ing with Bryan on the money question,
may finally be supported by the entire
Blackburn following, rather than permit
Hunter to capture the prize.
Should the Republicans elect in Ken
tucky. and were Corbett to be seated from
Oregon. the Republicans would just have
one-haIf of the Senate.
Senator Faulkner says that as matters
now stand. there Is solid, compact ma
tority in the Senate against the Republi-
cans.
Faulkner. who is the Democratic hustler
on the flour, admits that the tariff bill
viii pass, but thinks it will probably he
several months before it is a law. The
Democrats and PopuliSts are preparing o
debate every paragraph and fight utterly
sections they regard as unjust and of a dis
eliminating nature.

Pile, after short time, contracted
with certain parties to dig a we'll

feet limestone rock was struck,
but no indications of water. The
men hesitated whether to give up
the job or to 60 on; finally, the
rock appearing thin, they worked
through; and found, to their great
surprise, a fine rich surface soil !;
digging through this they found
gravel, clay, and plenty of water.

If at all. The boy who is effect
lively taught at home that it is
unmanly and vulgar as well as
wrong to indulge in lying and pro-
fame swearing can just as certainly

criminality and unhappiness in the
land as there unfortunately is.
