TOPICS AT THE CAPITAL.
NO DOUBT OF THE SELECTION OF
WALTER Q. GKESHAM.
How Partisans Kegard It—The Treasury and
tho Bond Question—A Georgian in
Favor—Other Matters.
Washington, Fob. 10.—| Special. 1—The re-
port that the portfolio of state has been of-
fored to Judge Gresham is generally accepted
as true here. I have the very best reasons to
believe that Gresham lias been offered a
cabinet position and has accepted it. Mr.
Carlisle says ho has no reason to doubt it.
Messrs. Gray of Delaware and Vilas of Wis-
consin, both close friends of Mr. Cleveland,
believe it. My bolicf, however, is founded on
tho statement of a gentleman whom I know
enjoys tho very closest confidence of Judge
Gresham, and who would not encourage a
false report in regard to him for anything in
the world. This same gentloman showed me
letters from Judgo Gresham jnst bofore tho
last election, in which tho writer unbosomed
himself to his correspondent in that confid-
ing way which assured me that the two en-
joyed the closest relations. This gentleman
informs me that Judge Gresham has been
tendered the place in the cabinet and has ac-
cepted. The astonishment of tho democrats
and republicans alike passes all bounds. To
say that tho former aro hopping in ad but
feebly expresses their condition. Still iu their
anger they observe the rules of diplomacy. In
other word A privately they aro vory loud in
their ™
condemnation of mr. cleveland
while publicly they aro vory choice and soft
in their expressions of dissatisfaction. Some
of them say they can not believe that Mr.
Cleveland would make such an appointment,
thus expressing confidence, yet disapproval.
Patronage is a very groat and terrifying thing
so I ascertain to-day. Tho chief point to
which democratic legislators call attention is
that Gresham said when ho announced that
ho intended to vote for Cleveland that ho was
still a republican and that ho had never
recanted from his republican faith.
The repubicans very naturally jeer at tho
democrats. They say that Gresham is a sore
head republican and that it has come to a
pretty pass when tho great democratic party
has no man within its ranks that will till ac-
ceptably to its president tho important place
of secretary of state. They say that Gresham
is a republican, though a disappointed one.
Another point they in a KG is that under the law
now if Cleveland and Stevenson were to dio
within tho next four years tho presidential
oftico goes to the secretary of state and Mr.
Gresham, a republican, would become presi-
dent.
All this, it is unnecessary to say, is extreme-
ly galling to tho Hickory democrats. I asked
a prominent democrat this evening what he
thought of the situation, and ho said this was
a splendid time for men who wanted a few
offices, like himself, to
saw wood and say nothing.
It is stated from apparently reliable author-
ity that Mr. Hoke Smith of Georgia will go in
the cabinet as secretary of tho interior. Tho
Georgians believe it implicitly, and Mr. Don
Dickinson is credited with having stated that
such is the case.
Mr. Gorman denies the report that ho was
consulted in regard to tho appointment of
Gresham. He says Mr. Cleveland has not
consulted with him about the secrotary of
stato's office at any time.
Late to-night it is said in a way that all
reasonable inon take as true, that Foster, sec-
retary of tho treasury, sent for Carlisle and
other democrats and consulted with them in
regard to the issuanco of bonds, stating that
it must bo done, and that ho is doing so.
Secretary Foster has denied that he intends
to issuo bonds in ordor to get gold in tho
treasury; still no ono here believes him.
As I have stated a dozen times in the last
six months tho troaiury is virtually bankrupt.
To such straits lias tho administration beon
put for money that it long ago adopted a
policy of delay in even putting out money to
build public buildings and meeting other ap-
propriations.
this policy is exemplified
in tho matter of tho payment to the Cherokee
and Chickasaw Indians for their lands em-
braced in the Arrapahoo and Cheyenne reser-
vations. Harrison first refused to order the
payment for this land because ho thought
there was an amount of about $50,000 not
proper out of tho $2,900,000 which congress
ordered paid. This amount of about $50,000
was remitted and the Indian representatives
made a deod to the land. Then there was a
kick about tho wording of tho doed; in fact,
evory subtorfugo has been adopted to delay
matters and tho Indians have not got their
money yet.
The lirst I hoard of the determination of
tho secretary to replenish the swamped treas-
ury by an issue of bonds was from a senator
who, of his own volition and without any
suggestion on my part, said: "You need not
quoto mo, but I will bet a good round sum
that Mr. Charley Foster sells bonds bofore
March 4."
No ono believes Mr. Foster's denial. Ho was
put in tho cabinet to manipulate the treasury
figures so they would appear all right during
the campaign. If ho does not sell bonds it
will be because tho uncovering of his schomo
no early has made it impolitic because of tho
unpopularity bond-selling idea generally.
It is said in response to his denial that bonds
or certificates to be converted iuto bonds are
now being propared for issuanco. This issue
can bo made under section 5 of the resump-
tion act, and it is thought that Foster's first
issuo will bo $50,000,000, to bo followed up to
an amount approximating $350,000,000.

Cotton Statistio*.
Washington, Feb. 10.—February returns
to the department of agriculture which rolnto
to cotton give county estimates of the crop
compared with that of last year, the propor-
tion that has loft plantations, avorage dato of
close of picking, insect losses, etc.
Consolidated returns of the comparative
crop make the following state percentages:
Virginia 55 per cent, North Carolina 73, South
Carolina 75, Georgia 74, Florida GO, Alabama
65, Mississippi 60, Louisiana 55, Texas
Arkansas 68, Tennessee 64 j general average,
69.2. No allowance is made for underesti-
mate of crop or overestimate of distribution.
The proportion of crop received at porta,
in stocks at interior towns, in the hands of
merchants unreported and en route from
plantations, is thus stated, as reported by
county correspondents: Virginia 86 per cont,
North Carolina 85, South Carolina 87, Georgia
89, Florida 89, Alabama 89, Mississippi 88,
Louisiana 89, Texas 87, Arkansas 87, Tennes-
see 86 i general average, 87.9.
The quality is fairly good, as a rule, though
better on the Atlantic coast and in Texas than
on interior areas. In the later picking tho
cotton was much discolored by frost.
In most of tho states tho average yield of
lint is reported at 87 | ?] per cent.
Averago dates of close of picking aro as
follows: Virginia, November 10; North
Carolina, December 1; South Carolinn,
December 1: Goorgin, November 27; Florida,
November 15; Alabama, November 28j Mis-
sissippi December 3} Louisana, December 4;
Texan, December 15; Arkansas, Decuinbor 1G,
and TenuoBsee, Docomber6,
Ljosaoh from insect depredations wore rela-
tively small. No lossos are reported north of
Georgia and the gulf states except in Arkan-
srs. The boll worm did more damage than I
t.p niw'.Tpillar, mainly in Mississippi Hnd in
stat. w. st of the river. The eatcrpiliar was !
ebpecia'iy injurious iu Alabama.
A relatively large proportion of seod Us
been sold to the oil mills on account of the
small size of the crop and the high price of
oil, in sympathy with the advance of the lard
market. The price varies, according to the ac-
cessibility of the mills, from 15 to 25 cents per
bushel. In somo sections planters have been
induced to sell by liberal payment in fertil-
izers.
Nolect Committee on Private Police.
Washington, Feb. 10.—Mr. Callinger, from
tho select conimittoe appointed by tho senato
to investigate and report to tho senato tho
facts in relation to employment for private
purposes of armed bodies of men or
detectives in connection with tho dif-
erences botwoen workmen and employ-
ers, submitted tho roport of the com-
mittee to-day. The committee expresses tho
opinion that if firms and corporations would
discontinue tho employment of armed men
on occasions of threatened or existing strikes
their interests would bo botter subserved. It
strikes tho committee, the roport continues,
that if Mr. Frick had acted upon the views
laid down by Andrew Carnegie iu his article,
"The Results of tho Labor Troubles," in tho
Century Magazine, which in the lotter Carne-
gie allirmed, and had further extended nego-
tiations with his workmen tho strike might
have been avoided. Tho committee declares
that tho employment of a private armed guard
at Homestead was unnecessary. The commit-
tee says tho states have undoubted authority
to legislato against the employment of armed
bodies of men for private purposes, but the
powor of congress to so legislato is not clear.
llontls I to in £ Issued.
New Yohk, Feb. 10.—a Washington special
says Secretary Foster is now issuing bonds in
order to ropieuish tho Rtoek of gold in tho
treasury. The issuo is upon authority con-
tained in section 5 of the resumption act and
over $50,000,000 aro to bo issued. It is the pur-
pose of tho department to have the bonds
issued and gold in their possession before a
public announcement is made of the issue and
then Mr. Foster will give out the facts.
Starting with $50,000,000 tho plan contem-
plates the issue of as much moro as circum-
stances demand up to tho limit of the full
amount of outstanding greenbacks.
A Cabinet Meeting.
Washington, Feb. 10.—All tho members of
tho cabinet wore present at tho meeting to-
day, which lasted nearly an hour. The prin-
cipal topic discussed was the action of Minis-
ter Stevens in proclaiming a protectorate
over the Hawaiian islands. In view of the
fact that the next steamer leaving San Fran-
cisco for Honolulu is scheduled for Tuesday,
the 14th instant, it is not bolioved that any
detinito action will be taken approving or dis-
approving Minister Stevens' action until the
day beforo tho departure of the steamer for
the islands.
The Chilean Award.
Washington, Feb. 9.—Tho secretary of tho
navy to-day approved tho findings in regard
to tho distribution of the Chilean award for
tho families of those killed and injured at Val-
paraiso October It), 1801, in an attack on sea-
men of the Baltimore. The board arranged
the casualties into classes aud assigned a pro-
portionate amount of the $75,000 to oach. Tho
families of those killed get $10,000 each.
Those seriously injured receive amounts pro-
portionate to their injuries.

Washington, Fob. 10.—[Special.]—The fol-
lowing named persons have beon granted pen-
sions:

ish tho stock of gold in tho treasury. Secre-
tary Foster this afternoon authorized an em-
phatic denial to be given to tho public.
Investigations Lagging.

FIFTY-SECOND CONGRESS.
Senate.
Washington, Feb. 10.—In the senate this
morning the calendar was taken up and a
number of bills passed of no general interest.
Tho senate bill prohibiting the transporta-
tion of merchandise from ono American point
to another through foreign ports was passod;
also tho bill providing that any foreign cor-
poration may bo sued in any district where
found.
Tho conference roport on the bill to restoro
to the public domain a portion of tho White
mountain Apache Indian reservation was
agreed to.
The railway car automatic coupler bill
was takon up. Aftor debato it was agreod
that a voto on it bo takon to-morrow.
Tho legislative and Judicial appropriation
bill was referred, and aftor tho executive ses-
sion the senate adjourned.
The House,
Washington, Fob. 10.—Goneral discussion
of an appropriation bill is usually a pro forma
proceeding. It was supposed, however, that
when the pension bill came up in the house
to-day there would bo a break in tho dull rou-
tino, but thoro was not.
Mr. Mutchler of Pennsylvania, who hnd
charge of the bill, mado a two hours' speech,
which, though bristliutf with statistics, did
not attract attention, nor did any
other speakor. Mr. Mutchlor Baid sevoral
amendments to the bill would institute re-
form ; the first, and he thought most import-
ant, was that providing for the transfer of tho
portion bureau from tho intorior to tho war
department. Such transfer would lesson the
amount of money appropriated for pensions
and would not deprivo a single deserving sol-
dier of the pension which ho now had or
which he might hereafter obtain. The pen-
sion bureau could not bo taken out of politics
until it was put where that did not count.
Mr. Grout opposed tho transfer of the pon-
sion bureau, while Mr. Tarney favored tho
amendment.
Without closing goneral debato tho commit-
tee rose and tho house took a recess, the even-
ing session to bo for consideration of privato
pension bills.
Hardship to Be a Witness.
Ran Francisco, Feb. 10.—[Special.]—On
Christmas eve there was a disturbance on the
ship Marc Frazior, lyimr at Howard streot
wharf, in which Morris Powers stabbed W.
N. Smith, whoso hand had to bo amputatod.
Among tho witnosses wore Frank Chapman,
Andrew Mathowson and John Clark, mate,
cook and sailor of tho British ship Thistlei
who wero subpounaed to testify. Yestorday
tho case was called in the police court. Those
threo witnesr.es failed to appear, and bench
warrants wero issued for them. Policeman
White went to Port Costa, where' tho Thistle
is now lying, took tho men from tho ship, and
returned with them to this city. They were
locked up to await tho calling of tho case.
The witnesses, who are intelligent sailors,
aro very indignant at being takon from tho
deck of their ship and thrown into jail, and
not oven provided with bods or good food.
They will appeal to the British consul for re-
lict from what they consider an injustice.

STIR AMONG POLITICIANS.
EXCITEMENT OVER GRESHAM GOING
INTO THE CABINET,
Surprise and Some Soreness Among Demo-
crats—What the Newspapers Say
of the Expeoted Event.
Criticism on an Appointment.
New Yohk, Feb. 10.—The Herald's Wash-
ington correspondent says: "Tho rumored
selection and acceptance by Judgo Gresham
of tho state secretaryship is generally dis-
cussed and believed here. Democrats wore
unwilling to froely oxpross thomselvos on tho
subject, but when they admitted for argu-
ment's sake tho truth of the rumor tho tone
was unfavorable and Clovoland was criticised
for the appointment.
Senator Palmer is thought to bo in an un-
pleasant frame of mind. Mr. Morrison can
not behovo the report is true. Isaac P. Gray,
it is presuinod, will bo given a bureau appoint-
ment or a mission abroad. Senator Palmer
said ho know Judge Gresham and admittod
his ability. Said ho: "I think a good demo-
crat might havo boon found somewhere, if not
in Illinois, for this, the most important cabi-
net plaee. I know it is claimed that Judge
Gresham is now a domocrat, but I believe he
confesses himself a democrat only to
the extent of having voted for Cleveland at
tho last oleetion. I am not disposed to criti-
ciso Mr. Cleveland for his appointment, but
1 must say I believe many good democrats
will be disappointed. They may have no right
to feel aggrieved, for tho reason that a presi-
dent is expected to exorcise his own judgment
and persoual preference in his selection of the
secretary of state, but still they are likely to."
The senator does not think tho Illinois demo-
crats will protest. Ho evidently beiiovos they
will
get over their disappointment.
When asked his opinion as to tho political
wisdom of the appointment in a general sense,
Senator Paltnor replied that he felt a delicacy
in expressing himsolf upon the point, because
ho had not been consulted and it was proba-
bly nono of his business. He ventured to Fay,
however, that Mr. Cleveland had certainly
departed from the ordinary lines of political
preccdont.
Locally, the Herald says: Politicians wero
treated to a genuine surprise yestorday in tho
announcement that Judge Walter Q. Gresham
of Chicago was to be secretary of state in Mr.
Cleveland's cabinot. Many democrats did not
believe it possible that tho presidont-eloct
would go outside his party lino for the premier
of his administration, but it certainly looks as
if Mr. Cleveland had again manifested his
spirit of independence and chosen for tho
place the man that he considered best fitted
for it, irrespective of party.
The World editorially says: "Assuming the
truth of the report it is an example of Mr.
Cleveland's political boldness thus to call to
what is nominally the first place among his
advisors a man who hasnover definitely joined
the democratic party. Judge Gresham is a
conspicuous representative of the great host
of former republicans who have broken with
their party bocauseof its infidelity to the peo-
ple's interests and havo brought
the democratic party into power
in ordor to restoro tho administration of tho
national government to the principles of duty
and responsibility on which the nation was
foundod. Of Judge Gresharn's great ability
and high charactor there can be no question.
He is thoroughly American in all his instincts
and training."
Tho Times speaking editorially says: "Mr.
Cleveland's roported invitation to Judgo Wal-
ter Q. Gresham to take tho place of secretary
of state in his cabinet is received with marked
satisfatiou by prominent democratic senators
in Washington. Apart from tho fact that
Judge Gresham is a man of the highest char-
actor and of decided ability, his Belcction is a
new guarantee of disregurd of narrow po-
litical considerations on tho part of Mr.
Cleveland. Tho appointment would be re-
garded with enthusiasm in tho west."
The Sun says: "In substantiation of tho
news from Chicago concerning Judge Gresh-
am thoso close to Mr. Cleveland in New York
admittod yesterday that the oortfolio of secre-
tary of state had been oilerou to tho judge imd
that there was reason to boiiove ho would ac-
cept. This would make tho cabinet up to
date stand: Secretary of state, Walter Q.
Gresham of Indiana; secretary of the treas-
ury. John G. Carlislo of Kentucky; secretary
of war, Daniel S. Lamont of Now York. It is
known that Mr. Cleveland has solected his
postuiastor goueral, but neither he nor any of
his friends will give tho name. Some of thorn
say tho place has been given to a westorn man.
Ex-Gevernor Isaac I'usoy Gray and bis In-
diana friends have insisted that tho portfolio
was promised personally by Mr. Clovoland to
ox-Governor Gray. In refutation of this, ono
of Mr. Cleveland's advisors said: 'Who ever
hoard of
MH. CLEVELAND PROMISINO ANYTHING?'
"But in any evont should the news concerning
Judge Gresham turn out to bo correct it is not
probable that Mr. Cleveland would give tho
Hoosier stato two places in tho cabinet. Tho
gossip concerning the place was all to the
effect that it would go to either Governor
Boies of Iowa, or E. C. Wall or Edward F.
Knight of Wisconsin, or ex-Governor Almon
B. Morse of Michigan. The name mentioned
more frequently than any other for secretary
of the navy is Hilary A. Herbert of Alabama,
chairman of tho house committee on naval
affairs.
"Tho reports to the effect that Henry Vil-
lard is to be secretary of the interior are re-
vived. Mr. Cleveland's closost advisers, es-
pecially on financial matters, aro Mr, Villard,
Horace Whito, Carl Sohurz and James T.
Woodward, president of the Hanover bauk.
"It may be put down as a fact that General
Patrick A. Collins is to succeed John C. New
as consul gonoral in London."
Minnesota Elevator Commission.
St. Paul, Minn., Feb. 10.—One of the most
important bills of the session was introducod
in both houses to-day croat iug a grain board
of sevon members, by whom a twenty-million
bushel elevator shall be oroeted at Duluth and
a fivo-million-bushel elevator in St. Paul, be-
sides numerous warehouses, in which farmers
may storo wheat without having it mixed with
other grain. It i* provided that tho board
shall fix rates of charges for all services con-
nected with storing grain, and tho railroads
shall load grain froo of cost to shippers when
offered in sacks. The annual expenditure is
to como from a grain fund made up by a tax
on tho gross earnings of railroads from tho
transportation of grain and from charges for
storago and inspection.
A Nebraska Investigation.
Lincoln, Neb., Fob. 10.—The house resolved
itsolf into a committoo of the whole to inves-
tigate the senatorial bribery chargos.
Sergeant-at-Arms Dungan admitted that
ho had been approachod by a man
named Walsh, who intimatod that he would
pay for votes for a certain candidate. Dungan
stated that ho had taken Representatives
Sadorinan and Krock, populists, to Walsh.
Tho matter was referred to a special commit-
tee for further investigation.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Fob. 10.—Soveral popu-
lists to-day voted for Thompson, democrat,
for senator, and it is probable that he will
bo ultimately olectod.

Waldo and Purdy.
Globo-Democrat: For some time past the
Kansas City, Sodalia aud Parsons dispatches
havo given much space and attention to the
affairs of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
management and sevoral rumors of impend-
ing changes have been published in tho south-
west. Such information usually emanates
from sources of an unreliable character, while
in some instances information foundod on
fact becomes distorted long before it reaches
tho eyo of the gonoral roader and tho inform-
ant, with whom tho wish is father to tho
thought, moro frequently places his own col-
oring upon the story.
According to the rumors originating in So-
dalia, Parsons and Kansas City, Vioe Presi-
dents Waldo and Purdy havo been carry-
ing on a bitter warfare, and tho heads of
the traffic and transportation departments
no longer speak as tiiey pass by. That was
the story sent over the wires. The fact, how-
evor, is that those vice presidents perused
theso publications in certain papers within tno
past fow days while seated together in Vice
Presidont Waldo's office at headquarters hero,
and derived considerable amusement from it.
While they may differ on various business
mattors connected with the management
there was certainly no evidenco of
strained relations. The heaith of Vice Pres-
ident Waldo has been vory indifferent for sev-
eral weeks, and he has not been ablo to give
his usual close attention to tho affairs of the
traffic management. In fact, he has boen ad-
vised to seek rest in a milder climate. It has
also boen said that differences exist at the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas board in New
York among the directors concerning tho pol-
icy to bo pursued toward competing interests
in the southwest. It should not be forgotten,
however, in this connection that Vieo Presi-
dent Waldo prosided at tho recent conference
in St. Louis for the purpose of roorgauizing
the Southwestern traffic association and that
as tho representative of his company ho
strongly advocated harmony of interests for
tho maintenance of rates.
various changes.
Tho following dispatch was roceived from
Sedalia last evening:
Skdalia, Mo., Feb. 7.— The Democrat this
evening contains an interesting article on the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway. Its in-
formant is a gentleman who at ono time was
connected with the road in a prominent offi-
cial capacity and knows wheroof ho speaks.
Somo of tho changes are to tako place March
1, and others at the annual election. Tho
fight between J. Waldo and Vice President
Purdy has beon bitter and to tho knife. The
gentlemen differed fundamentally in their
methods and ways of managing a railroad,
and those who are acquainted with Mr. Waldo
and his successes know at once that ho toler-
ates no opposition. He proposes to do his
work to suit himself. If it is a failure, ho is
willing to stand the consequences and give
way to another man. His official record is ono
that few men in the west havo equalod. Tho
fight has ended in his resignation and the ac-
ceptance of tho same at headquarters in Now
York. The position of second vice presidont
will be abolished, and Mr. Purdy givon the
title of first vice president and general man-
agor, with headquarters in St. Louis. His
offico is expected to be located in St. Louis
within a few woeks. Goorge J. Pollook, geu-
oral auditor, will leavo the road. Robert W.
Maguire, a Purdy man, who succeedod Treas-
urer Ben P. McDonald, will be mado goneral
auditor and local treasurer. Mr. Pollock
will return to tho Missouri Pacific, whoro ho
stands very high in tho estimation of General
Auditor C. G. Warner. This arrangemont will
remove Assistant General Auditor D. Willard,
who i3 really chief clerk for General Auditor
Pollock. It is understood that he will be
given tho position of chiof ciork of tho voucher
department, which was lately made vacant by
the resignation of Thomas Hickoy, now with
C. G. Warner at St. Louis. General Solicitor
Hagorman has resigned and tho office is vacant
at prosout. Tho position of tax commissioner,
now hold by J. H. Hall, at one time confi-
dential clerk to the receivers, and later to
President H. C. Cross, will bo abolished.
another rumor.
Another story emanatos from Sodalia, to
tho cffect that Mr. Waldo has accepted tho
position of traffic manager of tho Gould
southwestern system at a salary of $L'5,000 nor
anuum. There is nob a shadow of founda-
tion for this story.
