Considerable comment wan created In Washington to-day? principally because of Its prob iitbto effect on tho hot-headed'' Span lards, Jjy tho nnnouiic'meiit that tho UnltedtStatos wur ship Maine, now with th'ir great Heoi olf tho ro.ist of Florida, has bfiin ordered to Havana.

Mr. Gray said It was very proper to have a war Khip In Havana for tho protection of American interests. Mr. Morgan said 'Germany had shown thu United States tho way by sending bar war ships to Havana and wm'ovldontly bulgering this government in tlu tuittur. The administration has for somo dmo believed that tlio previous ad ministration made n mistake in ubau aoning tho pr.ieileo of sanding tho North A'ilantle squadron on cruises to itho WcsHndlcs with stows at Havana, .especially as other nations eon itlnued JIio practice.

Never has so largo and powerful a licet of wnrslilps of the United States been gathered together as that now off tho extreme southern coast of Florida, within direct striking dis tance of tln island of Cuba, engaged ostensibly in drill, but really hi watch ing the progress of events across the narrow chnuncl which separates tho Drv Tortugas from Havana, For a year the navy department hn lieon preparing for this emergency.

Tharc Is rea ion to boltevo that tho tn6ral Irillu once of the United States will support Groat Urltaln In Its ufTorts to keep China open to tho markets of tho world, says tho Washington cor respondent of. tho Herald. The onl.T aotlvu stops which tho administration .will probably take will bo to enter tho negotiations wlth'Gormany respecting tho treatment-of Amorlcan ships en tering Klno-Chnu and such other portB In China as may bo seized in thefuturo by Itussia or .Japan. "if China hns leased Kino-Chan on tti'o'Tconditlon tliat It shall bo opened by Germany ns aChlneso port, then It will not b.s necessary for tho President to take the stops In the matter," said an official of tho administration. "It will menu thut tho commurco of all nations will be allowed unrestricted on try thorcto. If, as we believe, how ever, Klno-Chnu should bo leased to Germany without conditions, then Germany will have tlio right, and will undoubtedly oxorelso it, to put in oporatlon port and customs reg ulations such ns are now in forco in German homo ports Tho United States cannot make objection to the extension of such regulations in Klno Chnu In such on event for It will bo German soil to nil in touts and pur poscH, as in Hamburg. However, the administration will expect from Ger many any privileges tliat may bo granted by her to uny other nation, and will therefore renp the advan tages which Great llrltaln's attitude against th shutting of tho Chlucso door to tho Coramorco of the world will glvo. This Is roquirod In accord a n CO with tho articles of tho treaty between Prussia and tho United States of May I, 1S2. which provides: "If either party shall hereafter grant to any other nation any particular fa vor, of navigation or commerce,, It shall Immediately 'b'ecotuo commonv to tho other party where it Is frcoly grunted to atieh nation, or yielding the samo compensation when the jraut Is conditional." Alluches of the Chlnoso legation aro naturally very much pleased nt tho attitude assumed by Great ltritain, as thoy appreciate that she will havo tho moral iulluonou of the United Sta'ies and other nations trading with China, which havo no territorial designs on the Celestial empire, Tho policy which Groat Urltaln lias inaugurated moans, they feel confident, the con tinued integrity of tho Chinese gov ernment.

The desire of the English people to know nil tho details of tho official and private life of their royal family will bo partially ap peased by tho publication in Lou don this week of tho first couiploto biography of tho Prince of Wales. Singularly enough, no complete rec ord of tho remarkably tictivo and di versified career of the heir to tho throne has been given to tho world before. Attempts in this direction have bean discouraged by tho subject hinisolf, und tlio present boolc fur nishes Internal evidences that it was not compiled under the royal sanction, for, while it breathes thu spirit of tho courtier rather than tho erltlo it re cords Mich episodes as the famous bacearrat trial, which the prince would probably bo willing for tho public to forget.

Hund reds of delegates from all parts of the country arrived here last night and thi3 morning for tho national mone tary convention, which was called to order In thu Grand Opera house by II, II. Hntina, chairman of the executive jommlttnc. Tho convention was welcomed to the state liy Governor Mount. Gover nor Leslie M. Shaw of Iowa was named for president, and in taking the chair said he believed that his hearers rep resented tho non-partisan purpose ns well as the financial bcntiment of a large majority of tho American peo ple. Every time the question had been voted on, the peoplo had declared for sound money. The greenback and tho silver move ments wero compared, both being ehurnotoi'i.od us abortive attempts at repudiation. "Wo must have si paper currency," continued Governor Shaw. "I bcliovc tho country nt large, without regard to party, agrees to this nronosltion. We must have a paper currency, and of sufficient volutnu for tho needs of a groat and prosperous people, with many and varied interests. Thoso who believe In tho principles Indorsed nt the polls in IS'.iil, together with thoso who accept the verdict then rendered as of binding force, agree tliat every dollar of paper currency must bo re deemable, directly or indirectly, ox chaugeab'.e or convertible, at par for gold." Governor Shaw concluded: "And now, gentlemen, It does not Ho with your chairman to diseuv details. The fact that the Interests at stake in this movement are financial, industrial and commercial will justify no less care than If they wero political. That you represent something besides the names your parents gave you will not militate against such recommenda tions as you may bo pleased to sub mit Whatever tho country may think of tho banker, it thinks well of you. Your Interests are in common with those of tho people generally. I would only uriro that you be thoughtful, bravo und true ami the people will be with you." To-morrow morning ex-Secretary C. S. Fnirohild und Congressmnn Over street will spenl: on tho monetary commission's bill and in tho nftornoon tho committee on resolutions will re port. This will cordially indorso the plan of the commission for currency in its entirety. "Prof. Jenks of Cornell university, who Is a dolegato to tho convention, expressed the bollut that the move ment for free silver would bo strength ened if tho Republicans did not earn estly worlc for a reform in tlio cur rency laws. "Tho gold Democrats," ho continued, "voted for McKlnloy, or at loast against llryan, in order to becu'ro financial reform. They are not getting it, and cannot be blamed for dissatisfaction. I heard one prominent gold Democrat say the other day that it did not mako much dlttcreneo which way the country went to the devil whether through bad money or bad tun 11'.

O. llrown npps.tretl before tho liny conference of tho Congregational chore i unexpectedly this morning, expre iscd tlio deepest couti'illo.'i for his b ickslldlntr, resigned himself to futo, Was chastened nnd dropped out of thrt Congregational ministry, shook handsj with the ciiastencrs and. ended bydoqlurlng that He was glad of It all. Dr. 'llrown salJ: "A small part of tho accusations j aimed ut-mb wero true j For any wrong 1 svliloh 1 had dono I hail sought forgiveness both of God uhd man. I hud turned utterly and wlith ubhorrence from It long be fore llwas publicly accused. No ac tion but my own now tuken could do prlvo me of my pulpit or any fellow ship In Chicago. I confess to the Du buque and Chicago associations tliat I did them grievous wrong In nceepting fellowship of the one and seeking that of the other. 1 herewith request that my namo be dropped from the roll of the church association." Dr. llrown read the confession to tho Hay conference and in every tone of his volcj thero was a tremulous plea for mercy After thu conference had rendered its decision of expulsion he said: "It is all for the best, I sup pose, yet It is hard for me to bear." The llrown scandal, which has had many rnmlticalions, first attracted general attention about the cud of 1SH3 when Mrs. Mary A. Davidson was arrested on a charge of extortion made by Dr. Drown, pastor of tho fashionable First Congregational church In San Francisco. Sho was a worker In tho church, though not a member. The essential allegation was that he had given her 3500 to keep quiet about an uilugcd intimacy with Miss Overman of Tacoma, Wash., who had visited at llrown's house. After an exciting trial Mrs. David son was acquitted. The inference from the testimony being tliat lirown was guilty the congregational council Investigated him. llrown mndo a hard tight and the hearing wus even moro replete with sensational iiici-. dents than the Davidson trial had been. Tito investigation resulted in a partial acquittal, but so much noto riety had attended that afi'alr that Brown's continued term of the pastor ate was impracticable and ho was dis missed after much bitterness had been engendered between his supporters and his opponents. The next development was a confes sion by Miss Overman, which Drown donounced ns false and which was not generally bolloved. llrown secured a Chicago charge and then appealed to the Hay coutcrence of California for a reopening of his case. This was de nied und lirown appealed to the mutual couferenco of the Congrega tional church. After a review of tho case a dubious finding was returned, tho Ray conference buiug upheld, but the original charge ignored. The af fair has assumed vurious other aspects at different times, and Hrown's troubles have been exceedingly num erous. OHIO BRIBERY INQUIRY. Committee Concludes It Work at Cin cinnati.
