HELD FOR GRAND JURY.
Colored Postal Clerk Has Hearing on
Serious Charge.

When taken before United States Com
missioner Arson S. Taylor this afternoon
William A. Cornish, the colored postal
clerk who was arrested last evening on the
charge OF robbing the mail. pleaded not
guilty and waived a preliminary eXamina-
ton. Commissioner Taylor fixed the bond
at $50. which was furnished. Ind Cornish
was released, pending a hearing by the
grand jury.
Cornish was arrested last evening about 8
O'Clock by Post Office Inspector William ].
Maxwell and Policeman Boyce Of the first
precinct, just as he was leaving Station G.
on G street, to go to his home 1909 Sth
street northwest. The prisoner was immedi-
ately escorted to the first precinct station
house where the charge was placed oppo-
site his name on the blotter.
1t is stated this afternoon by the post
office authorities that the first discovery
of the loss of letters was made about MAY
%, at which time Post Office Inspectors W.
b. Smith, James H. c. Wilson, Thomas
Troy and William Maxwell were assigned to
the case. After investigating the various
complaints of loss OF letters and finding the
remnants of torn letters suspicion, 1t is
stated by the inspectors, fell on Cornish
When arrested last evening, it was stated
Inspector Maxwell found three letters on
Cornish, which had been torn open and
were addressed, respectively, to Mrs. Lena
Schultz. 1446 Broadway. New York N. Y -
Mrs. James r. Buchanan. Loreto P O..

DISCUSSED AT CAPITOL.
Effect of the Speeches of Cleveland and
Hill.

The speeches of ex-President Cleveland
and ex-senator Hill at the Tilden Club
dinner in New York last night were widely
discussed among democrats at the Capitol
today. Mr.. Cleveland's speech caused more
comment on account of his greater promi-
nence in the party.
1t was the judgment of some of the most
prominent democratic politicians that Mr..
Cevelands speech will have practical eff
feet in one way; it will bring the C1eve-
land democrats and gold democrats back
to the support of the democratic congress
sionai nominees in the fall elections. Some
of the democratic managers of party af-
fairs were very much elated today over MI.
Clevelands speech on that account.
They say that the great democratic fac
ton which deserted the party on account
of free silver, voting with the republicans
or refraining from voting. and which. in
the succeeding campaign, supported the re-
publican candidates for Congress or stayed
away from the polls. may be brought back
by Mr. Cleveland's exhOrtation.
The democrats in Congress are very anx-
iouS to carry the House next fall as one
step. and an important one. toward re-
Mobilization of the party in advance OF the
next presidential campaign They regard
Mr. Cleveland'S utterances as distinctly "a
vorable to harmony and reunion of the
scattered forces 1t is only in its relation
to the straying Cleveland and gold demo-
Gratis that the efforts Of Mr.. Cleveland and
Mr.. Hill are regarded as important.
The speeches of the two great democratic
leaders naturally arouse the scorn and de-
rison of the Bryan wing of the democracy
which still has representation in Congress.
But these very Bryanites are willing enough
to accept all the Cleveland and gold demo-
cratic votes for Congressional candidates
in the hope of electing a democratic House.
They are glad enough to take that much
benefit out of the situation, even If they de-
sire later to f1out the hands which aided
them when 1t comes to dickering for presi-
Dental candidates.

CLEVELAND. Ohio June 20.-The fight
for control of the next democratic conven-
ton is not regarded in this state as per-
sonal between Mclean and Johnson. 1t is a

leaders. Chapman IS not a Mclean man,
nor have Col. Kilbourne and Judge Patrick
been identified with the so-calIed Mclean
faction. In fact, they have always been
recognized as anti-McLean men.
On the other hand. the men who are now
identified with Mayor johnson. particularly

NO IMPERIAL CUSTOMS UNION,
Australian Premier Says It is Impossi

LONDON. June 20.-In an interview to-
day on the subject Of the forthcoming
colonial conference Edmund Barton. pre-
mier of Australia. said he considered that
an imperial customs union was not within
the bounds of practical politics, though it
might be possible many years hence. Free
trade within the empire now would deprive
the young communities of their main source
of revenue, namely, the customs, and rem
der it impossible to carry on their internal
government successfully. Mutual tariff
concessions within the empire stood on a
more practical basis. and he hoped to see
the difficulties h the way OF such conces-
sioes removed.

that there was a general want of efficiency
in the navy. on which depended the exist

been proven a fact. Every increase in the
number of ships and every improvement In
