The doubt prevailing about the church
President Mckinley would attend during
his term OF office here has been positively
and finally settled. The President
pew was rendered him by the board Of
trustees OF the Methodist M E. Church,
corner OF Four -and-a-half and stTeets
some time ago, and he quietly accepted the
offer. The President minated that ne
did not care to have his decision published
with flourish OF trumpets, and the board
has strictly complied with his wishes.
He heard Bishop Newman In this church
last Sunday, butit was thought at the time
thatit was onlyin the way OF compliment
to the bishop that he attended, and sat In
Grants pew to hear Grants preacher, and
that hereafter he would attend the Foundry
NJ. z Church, corner OF Fourteenth and 6
streets. The Presidents pew in the Met
ropolitaD Church is the one occupied by
Grant during his terms OF office. DIR. Hugh
Johnston has been pastor OF this church
for four years, and has Just been returned
by the Baltimore conference for another
year.
1he congregation OF the Foundry Church
wiz no doubt be surprised 10 learn OF the
Presidents decision. When here in Con
gTess he was regular attendant at this
church, and thinking that he would still
hold allegiance to them, the bOaTu OF tTus-
tees made a great effort and secured DE-
Lucien Clark, an eloquent divine, who has
been pastor OF the Madison Avenue Church
in Baltimore, for live years. They were
a tIifle surprised to learn that another
church in the city was making an effort
to secure the President as an attendant
They were confident that ne would still
attend the FoundFg Church upon his arrival
in the city, extended him a cordial invita-
ton to occupy pew in their church. The
pewstn Foundry Church are free, but there
is a pew known as the President pew"
and this would have been reserved FOR
President Mckinley il he had intimated
his intention to attend The board has
never received any reply from the Presi-
dent, but this morning still thought that
the probabilities were strongly In favor
OF his attendance upon their church
The Presidents pew in the Metropolitan
Church is ON the left side or the right aisle,
and the third from the pulpit The annual
renting OF pews in this church takes place
Monday. The congregation OF the Metro
politan viii be delighted to have President
Mckinley among them. and as one of the
board OF trustees OF the Foundry Church
expressed it: I'VE have invited President
Mckinley, as good Methodist, to como and
breathe the free air OF God among US, and
will be glad to have him worship with Us;
but there we let the matter rest"

MARKET RATHER QUIET.
Prices of Stocks Fluctuating, With
Firmness Toward the End.

Prices of Stocks Fluctuating, With
Firmness Toward the End.
New York, March 1O-A quiet condition
of affairs prevailed at the Stock Exchange
this morning. While the course Of prices
was irregular. the changes in the active
specialties were by no means important.
There was very little news aflOat and the
trading was almost entirely professional
At the. start some OF the prominent issues
were fractiopalIy higher, while others
were lower. Subsequently ffrmness set in
in sympathy with higher prices from Lon
don.
The Improvement in the local market
was equal to 1-4a1 1-2 per cent. the latter
in Tobacco preferred, whichrose to 1OT 1-2.
The common stock rose "a to 7s IA on
purchases by brokers alleged to be actingfOr
insiders Sugar was rather heavy at
115 I-4a115 5-e, the advance of1-15 cent
per pound in certain grades OF refined
having fallen fiat. Manhattan was steadier
for a time on profit-taking by the shorts.
Near IL O'Clock, on moderate selling by
the room traders, the early gains were
generally lost Manhattan was especially
weak and reacted to SO IA. Speculation
at the hour named was dun and listless.
There was very little inclination to
trade after l O'Clock, outside of Tobacco,
which continued strong, advancing to
78 7-8 The report that the company in
tended to retire its So, 100000 had good
effect on the stock. The variations in
the general list were confined to narrow
limits. Manhattan ruled steady at SO 1-2.
At midday the market was featdreless.

A GIFT FOR THE PRESIDENT
Continued from First Page.

succeed Mr.. TruesdeIl. Mr.. Saunders is a
well known real estate broker.
The diplomatic corps, in paying its first
visit to the new President, which took
place a few minutes before IL, did not
present the spectacular scene many had
anticipated. They were all in citizens
dress, and that robbed the spectacle OF
much of its outward show. Each foreign
representative was introduced by Assistant
Secretary of State Rockhill.
Secretary OF State Sherman, who was
late in coming, would have made the in
PRODUCTIONS, but his want of acquaintance
with nearly all of them, would. he thought,
render it somewhat awkward, as many
had unpronounceable names, and Mr- Rock
hill was personally acquainted with each
member.
There was another disappointment when
it was announced that NO appointments
would be made today. There was one ap-
pointrnent made, that of postmaster at
Borrcth, H. the home of Uncle" Joe
Cannon, which showed that the nlinoisan
was equal 10 all emergencies, and was first
at the postoffice pie counter. There be-
ing a vacancy in the office, Ii was not
difficult for Mr. Cannon to name his
personal friend, W. K. Jewell, for the
place.
There appears to be considerable of a
hitch. which so far has not been explained,
as to the failure to send to the Senate
the nomination of the four ambassadors.
It is argued. however, that the names OF
John Hay as ambassador to London and
Horace Porter to Paris, which have prac-
ticaliy been agreed upon. will not be sent
in until those for Rome and Berlin have
been selected. There are so many appli-
cants for Rome, and all so strongly in dorsed,
that it may take some days yet before the
President will pass upon the appointment.
Lieut. Gilmore, who has been detailed
to duty at the White House for the past
four years, will leave his post tonight, un-
less he should be reordered by the new
Secretary of War.
Before Secretary Lamont retired he
extended the Iieutenant's detail from the
4th to the 9th of the month. 1t was done
to accommodate the new President, who
would have use for Mr.. Gilman's services.
He may be detailed for longer service. IS
no one else has been so commissioned up
to the present time.
Lieut.. Gilmore has been on duty at the
White House for upwards of ten years,
and few young men have been more gen.
orally liked than has he. His administra-
ton OF the social affairs OF the Mansion
have been successful in the extreme. It
is thought that the President may ask to
have Capt. Heistand, who has been with
Mr.. Mckinley at Canton for some time,
detailed at the White House TO succeed
Lieut.. Gilmore.
Ex-Representatiye Farquhar, of buffalo,
says he has been promised one of three
places -Commis sioner OF Navigation. an
Assistant Postmaster General or Public
Printer.

THE DIAMOND ROBBERY.

The Tray Found in New Jersey
Avenue Saloon.
While the police were inclined last night
to make light of the alleged diamond rob
berry at Jerome Desio's jeweiry store on
F street. they made discoveries today,
which have convinced Inspector Hollinber
ger that sneak thieves did get away with
about So 900 worth of Mr. Desio's jems.
The inspector does not believe, however
that the robbery was the work of profes-
sionals, as he informed an Evening Times
reporter today that the thieves made sew.
eral bad breaks" of which professional
crooks would not have been guilty. The
tray which was taken contained twenty
two pieces OF Jewelry. diamond rings,
brooches and pins, valued at about So. 900
not $4,000, as published
This morning the tray was found in the
toilet room of Joseph r. McDonnelPs sa-
loon, 537 New Jersey avenue northwest. 1t
wasIeftthere about 2: 20 O'Clock yesterday
by two men, who came in, ordered drinks
aud stated that they were going to meet
a third party and then catch the L O'Clock
train to Baltimore. Later the men went
into the toilet room, where they removed
the Jewels from the tray and left il in
one corner of the room, partly concealed.
Mr.. Mcdonnell has furnished the de-
tectiyes with an excellent description Of
the thieves, and Inspector Hoilinberger
at once sentseveral Of his men to Balti-
more to try and intercept the crooks.
A Mrs Rose also gave a description of
the men. She ays she was passing De-
sio's store yesterday and saw them lift the
tray of diamonds from the window.

STATUS QUO N THE SENATE
Republican Senatorial Steerers
VIII Maintain II.
4 COMBINATION IMPOSSIBLE
The Organization of the Senate by
the silver Element Cannot Be
Made Effective-The Conference
This Morning Did Not Develop
Any Action.

The Republican Senatorial Steering Com
soa's room, but no action OF any kin.i was
taken. The menters received their no
tice late, and some did not arrive until
the conference was breaking up.
Willie no member of the committee was
aide TO offer a tangible solution to the
existing difficulty in connection with the
filling OF the vacancies ON the committees,
it was the general impression that no conl-
binatioh having for lite purpose the organi-
zatioR of the Senate committees by the
silver vote could be made effective.
Several members of the committee, who.
as individuals, have given this question
the most painstaking consideration and
h ave held numerous conferences With
leaders of both factions of the Democratic
party, and boiling Republicans have
reached the conclusion that the differences
between these elements are so great and
the demands made so incapable OF being
complied with that it will be utterly inn
possible for the opposition to the Repub-
licans to concentrate upon any particular
plan of action.
For this reason members OF the COM
mittee state that the status quo in
the Senate viii be maintained, and that
ultimately the vacancies viii be filled
with the Republicans retaining the chair
manships, although owing to Populist
representation on some OF these commit
tees, it will not be possible for the Repub-
licans TO fully control the action of some.
Another meeting OF the steering commit
tee viii be held tomorrow. a denial is
made to published statements that com
promise has been agreed to, whereby the
Republicans are to remain in control until
December, when the regular session con-
venes, and that at that time the contest
for the control OF the Senate is TO be waged.

McKINLEY,s EoUIPAGEs HERE.
A Brougham and a Landau aud Two

The ex-President's horses have been re-
moved from the White House stables. A
pair OF bays, always spoken OF as Mrs
Clcyeland's, was shipped to Princeton on
Friday, with a roadster which the Presi-
dent sometime drove single.
The other four horses. which were oc-
casionalIy used for White House purposes
by Private Secretary Thurber and Others,
have been shipped TO New York for sale
Joseph r Boyle. who is President Mo
Kiuley's stenographer, and was his conf
deutiet clerk at Canton, says that from
Fcbruary II, 1896, up to the time Maj.
McKinleyleft Cantona week ago yesterday,
he received and answered 9S .331 letters.
Unofficiaily IL is estimated that the num-
Der received since Maj. Mckinley arrived
in Washington, is much greater in proper
ton. Something like 1 800 applications
for office have been filed since March 4.
but there is as yet no official record of the
number received before that time. A force
OF clerks has been busy for the last few
weeks, and has just completed the task OF
briefng. .indexing and acknowledging these
applications. They were all loaded into
market wagon andsent to the departments,
where most OF them will remain unheeded
and forgotten until some future day, when
they will be sold for old paper.

The wagon contained Harry Oldfield

San Pedro. and Miss Richardson, who Is
cousin, lives at the same place. The
trio were driving home last night from

they reached the Main street line the
horse baked directly on the track and
would not move. A car was coming
about half q block away In either direc-
tion.
Oldfield was driving and supposed that
the car would stop when 1t was seen that
he did not move off the track, but it
seeme that 1t did not.
Just AZ 1t had almost reached them the
horse started. forward, but not too soon
for the platform to strike the rear end

Goes on the Rampage and Tries to
Use His Gun
A complaint was filed in Justice Nor
rison's court yesterday morning by W.S.
Tucker, charging "Six-Shooter Bill'
with assault to commit murder.
Tucker conducts poker room at
215 East First street. According to
his statement Bill entered the place
Saturday night and sat down at one Of
the tables. Bill had been drinking and
soon got into a row with another player.
Tucker tried to pacify Bill, but the lat
ter grew angrier at the interference and
finally jumped UP and grabbed revol-
yer from a rack, saying he would kill
Tucker. The latter stood close enough,
however, to knock the weapon out of the
hand of his asailant.
Tucker thought that he had averted
the danger. but Bill drew another weap-
on from his pocket and leveled the pis-
tol at fuckers head. Tucker grabbed
the revolver and then ensued a desper-
ate fight for its possession. The weapon
was a self-cocker and three times did
Bill pull the trigger. fuckers hand was
over the cylinder and the hammer each
time fell upon his flesh between the
thumb and forefinger OF the left hand,
making an ugly wound. Tucker at last
succeeded In getting possession Of the
pistol and at once elected the loads. Bill
ran out as soon as he lost his pistol. A
warrant has been issued for Bills arrest.
