WASIII.VOTON' , Jan. 21. [ Special Tele

been the organ Of the adnilnlstiatlon , and
has given a full report each day of what was
done at the white house , even to the number
of cups of ten the president diank and the
number of people that called upon him , bus
jumped the track , and now comes down on
Cleveland. Yesterday Mr. NoidhotT , the cor
respondent , called upon ( he president and
asked If he Intended to send to the senate
the Information upon which he had sus
pended olllclnls. This has been a Hciatd
hobby. President Cleveland said ho would
not. Describing the Interview the cone-
Npondcnt says : "He has como to the conclti-
hlon that the constitution gives tlio senate no
right of Inquiiy , and that he ought to stand
upon his constitutional right , and , as ho said
t/ ) your coiie.spondcnt , 'hand down the piesl-
dentlalpieiogallves uiilmpalicd to hh suc
cessor. ' His not many weeks ago that Mr ,
Cleveland cot some cheap applause by the
declaration that his administration was
'living behind glass doors. ' This Is supposed
to be a govei nnient of the people , for the people
ple , and every admliiNtrotlon ought to 'live
behind gla.ss doors. ' Seciccy In public affairs
almost always means fraud , corruption , chi
canery and Intrigue ! . But It scorns Cleve
land , soured by democratic , olllce-secklng
senators , has determined to pull down the
cur tain , and cover his glass doois. He tells
the Hciald'ft Washington coricspondent he
will not make public the papers In relation
to his dispensation of olllces. He
will not glvo these papcis to
the open senate any more than to Its
secret sessions , audit would seem that ho
Inclines to look with favor on the senate
secret sessions. We aio sorry lor Cleveland ,
lie had a good Opportunity bj the coat tails ,
but his hold lias slipped. He had a chance
to take the people Into his confidence , and
he tuins his back on them and goes In with
the political class Poor Cleveland. By

Jteprcscntatlvo Payson of Illinois , who Is
now and haj been for many years a member
of the hotiso committee on public lauds , said
to the ! : : coiiespundent to-nidit that con
gress will not declare foitlficd any lands
granted to and along railroads which have
been built , no matter whether they have been
built within tlio lima prescribed by the grant
or not. He said that theio was a strong sym
pathy In congress for railroad companies
that have constructed their lines by aid ol
land grants ; that they bonded their roads
nnd their grants , and thcicloio their land ?
have pas-ed into the hands of innocent pur
chasers , so that the corporations would not
bo hurl by forfeiture , but the purchasers ol
the lands would be. Mr. Payson predicted
that the only lands of the Northern Pacific
which will bo forfeited are those on the
Paclllc slope , vvhcio the road has not beer
built , and only the grants of the Atlantic S
Pnoilic east of Albuquerque ( New Mexico ]
would bo forfeited.

LOXDON , Jan. 21. [ Special Cablegram. ]
This has been an Interesting but disappoint *
Ing week. The Kngllsh and Irish public
alike looked to the queen's speech and to the
speeches of the conservative and liberal lead
ers In parliament for some relict to the pro
longed anxiety about Irish matters. They
get very little. The crisis hangs lire. Neither
the torlet nor liberals are { . .itlsllcd with the
course o affairs. What most contents the
most people In Kncland Is what the queen
says about homo inle. The speech made in
her name by the ministry definitely places
Ihc conservative party against all attempts to
disturb the existing legislative union between
England ami lieland. The ministerial
method of dealing with the other and more
urgent part of the Iilsh question bears marks
of n compromise between the differing sec
tions ot the cabinet. The tone of the speech
Itself was thought linn , though known to
have been modified in consequence of Lord
llandolph Clmichlll's remonstrances against
the use of the word coercion. Lord Salisbury
In the house of lords and Sir Michael Illcks-
Dcach In the commons disclosed modlflca-
tlons much moio Important.
The best kept secret of the nilnlstcilal pol
icy was the resolve to propose reform of pro-
ccdino In the conmons , and give this reform
precedence o\er all other business , Irish mat-
eis Included. The ministers allege ns an
ixcuse for delaying Irish legislation the ne-
csslty of obtaining luither information.
Smith's appointment as chief secretary for
reland .supplies a plausible pretext for this
ilelay. A new man must have tlmo to decide
ilia new policy. The liberals utort , "Why ,
.hen , did you make the queen draw such n
gloomy nlcluie of the social condition of the
country , about which you now profess not to
know enough to bo able to IcglsIatcV" There
s no answer to that question. The tory
mistake as a matter of tactics is obvious.
They have wholly broken with the Parncll-
. They must , thcicfore , rely wholly fqt
imajoiltyon the liberals , who are opposed
o homo iiiloand ready to grant the govern
ment the powcis they consider needful for
estoiing law and order in Ireland. But the
nlnlstry postpones the demand for these
powers fora while , though every day's delay
weakens their case and gives time to restore
.tnity In the liberal ranks.
Tlio liberals lor a moment seem to be with
out leadership. The ministry offered a dis-
Inct challenge on home rule. Nobody takes
t up. Probably It is a good parly niovo to
ibstnln. The ministry , if beaten , would ap
peal effectivelv to the country as the cham
pions of imparial unity. Nor could they
probably bo beaten in the commons on that
issue. Nobody Is willing to make the flr&l
move or show his hand.
Gladstone's speech was the speech of an
adroit tactician , and committed him tc
nothing. Ho regained , while speaking , his
old ascendancy o\cr the house , and excelled
ilmself In fervent appeals to a spiiit of con
ciliation and itistlcc. It is doubtful , never
theless , whether ho has ot still furtlici
widened the breach in tlio liberal party ,
Everybody understood the speech as r
bid for n Parnclllto alliance. Tin
Irish cheered him warmly thioughoat
Ills denial of the responsibility lor lionu
rule schemes convinced nobody. He d Id noi
deny his conversion to the principle of honu
rule. Willie his speech continued the uni
veisal belief in his desire to secure the Irisl
support by creating an Irish parliament , itf
tone was ono of anxious deference to Irisli
opinion. Nothing marked it so strongly a ;
when he besought the Irish to forgive bin
for saying that ho still warmly biipportei
herd Spencer's administration. Tlio Irlsl
members not only forgave him. but warmh
welcomed the new recruit.
Parncll , with his usual dexterity , dcclaici
himself desirous to imitate Gladstono's spirit
He said ho believed between them they coiih
find a solution of the Irish problem. Ho sa
down without giving a .single hint as to wha
scheme of homo rule ho was icady to proposi
or accept. There matters stand , and been
likely to stand for the present , the leaders al
round making time.
Outside ot parliament nothing has so mud
Influenced English opinion as the statement
of tholoval Iilsh deputations to Lord Sails
bury , implementing that commerce , Industi ;
and society weio suffering grievously

The Kansas City delegation of business men
who c.imo to the city a day or two ago to im
press upon the Southwestern Hallway asso
ciation people the necessity of a reduction in
rates fiom Kansas City to St. Louis and
Chicago , had a meeting yesterday with the
niembeis of the Chicago board of trade and
the Chicago freight bureau to pave the way
for united action between Chicago and Kan
sas City business men In a movement to
secure a reduction in' rates fiom Missouri
river points. The Kansas City men , when
they first came here , were inclined to join
hands with the St. Louts people , but the
arguments made before the meeting of the
Southwestern Hallway association showed
them they wcio being used by the St. Louis
people to pull their chestnuts out of the lire ,
and that the Interests between Kansas City
and Chicago wcie more Identical than those
between Kansas City' and St. Louis , and ,
thcrefoic , they mean 16 act In harmony with
the Chicago people. .
The proposition of the St. Louis people to

WEEK IN TRADE AND TRAFFIC
The Commercial Situation Par From n
Condition of Hopefulness.
COAL BUSINESS DEMORALIZED.
The Wheat Visible atlsttnstcd-Rnto
for Sterling Light Increase In In
quiry Will Send Gold Out by the
Million The Stock. Market.
The Week One of Waiting- .
Nuw YOIIK , Jan. 24. [ Special Telegram. ]
The week lias made little change In Hie
prospects ot general trade. The severe
weather nnd other causes have tended to In
terfere with any great activity , and the situ
ation may bast bo described as ono of wall
ing. In soniodopailiilcntsof business , not
ably the dry goods Interest , there Is n continu
ation of the hopeful feeling regarding the
volume of business and pitccs , while other
trades the Iron producers being the most
conspicuous example aie somewhat appre
hensive and give expiesslons calculated to
Induce the belief thatsoinoot the late esti
mates of the boom in 1S81 were unfounded.
The steel rail situation Is unchanged.
Some purchasers openly assert that In splto
of the combination they could make contracts
at SU'l per ton ; and filrther , that rails can bo
bought f or SSO per ton before long. In view
of tlio amount of railroad construction In
various patts of the country , this seems
rather a risky prediction.
The anthracite coal business is In a
thorough state of demorall/a'tlon. Prices
arc cut right and left , and no one seems to
have the slightest confidence in the future.
It , therefore , does not seem likely another
pool can bo formed , and there Is every pios-
pcct that the demoralization of the eastern
haul coal market will continue Indefinitely.
There Is a general feeling theio Is a gicat
deal In the discovery that Interior milling
points are obliged to fall back on the Chicago
supply of wheat in order to supuly their
wants. The enormous visible supply has
been harped upon so long that there appeared
no escape from a further fall In wheat. It
seems , however , to have dawned on the pee
ple's minds that If such impoitant milling
ecu tors as Akron ( Ohio ) and other points
cannot depend on the local supply , but have
to haul wheat from Toledo and Buffalo , there
is something wrong with the visible supply
business , and wo will not have anything like
the surplus stock for export which has been
so much talked about.
At the same time the foreign wheat mar
kets are in a condition which does not war
rant any considerable advance In our prices.
Kates for sterling exchange still hang at a
polntwhcro the difference between buying
bills and shipping gold to a large exchange
house is only about S10 in 810,030. Under
such circumstances It Is not surpilslng that
5500,000 In gold went out this , and moro ex
pected to follow next week. The reduction
of the Bank of England rate on Wcdndsday
last from 4 lo 3 per cent does not affect our
situation in the least. The fact * pf tlio ex
change situation is , it on ly needs a slight In-
d.rojv hi tiioInquiry for exchange' , by int ;
porters to send out gold by the'ralllloii1" ;
The staclrtnarlretv Is In a puzzling condi
tion. The oldest Wall street men hesitate to
risk any predictions as to its course. While
there Is a great deal of bearish feeling among
the veterans , there Is by no means any dis
position to sell stocks which are known lo bo
strpngly held. The news of tlio week Is gen
erally beailsh , but Is nearly all of a charac
ter which might bo reversed voiy quickly.
Bull pools seem to bo kept intact , and await
only a slight change In circumstances
to try for another advance. The
stiect Is consequently divided In opinion
to a much greater extent than
usual , and It was t'nither noticeable tliero
Isagtcatirre.gulatily In the relative situa
tion of the various stocks and classes of
stocks. For thu time being there Is no uni
son In the market. It Is thcicfoie mora than
anoralnailly dangerous place lor n Iamb to
Ibc In , and In Its present condition best to be
eft to the gentlemen of the exchange , who
chase the nimble eighth ana evasive quarter
per cent from day to day.

NK\V YOIIK , Jan. 34-LSpcclnl Tele
gram. ] The Tribune this morning
trlnts a story ot A sensational en-
ountcr in nn all-night chop house In Sixth
v\enue , known as the Silver Grill , much fre
quented by the young men about town , and
ho women of tha ton. . The central figures
veto Fred May , who became known outsldo
if Baltimore by his quarrel nnd duel with
James Gordon Bennett ; Hairy Wall some-
lines called the "King of the Dudes , " and
" 1'Ift" Miller and his brother , friends of
Wall. Wall and the Millers \\ero enjoying
heir oysters , when Vrcd May's burly forur
appeared bcfoic them.
"I have been told by friends" remarked
"May , gently , as ho towered above the oyster
atcrs , leaned slightly forward , and looked
lard at "Tlft" Miller , "That you said the
other night that I was a blanked liar. Is that
so ? "
Tlft Miller became moro Interested In his
oysters , but the other two men kept their
> jeson May. The latter repealed the qucs-
Ion , and Miller , without visible emotion ,
epllcd : "I don't know whether I did or
lot , I really don't remember. 1'osslbly 1
did. Perhaps you have been misinformed.
t really don't know what 1 said , "
Alter some moio words between thn two
ncn , Miller , who Is a small , handsome young
nan said : "Von mo a batter man than 1
am ; i know that very well , and I don't want
any quarrel with you. I can't ' light with you
and 1 don't want to. You could make short
work with me , 1 have no doubt. "
Hcpiofislng outward appearances of anger ,
May at last madoMiller admit ho might have
called htm a liar. Then ho toyed a moment
with his glove , and suddenly exclaimed
fiercely , " 'thake ' that then , and that. " Ho
slapped Millet's pink and white cheek tin Ice
with his glove. Miller said nothing , but
ookcd down and seemed to shrink Into him
self under the blows that were light in weight
jut heavy in the dignity that was meant by
.ho big man who Inflicted them.
"There Is my glove , sir , " exclaimed May
"you can do what you choose about It. You
may answer this In any way you wish. Name
yoarown conditions. "
Then a gauulous young woman at the next
lablo remarked : "Oh , Fred May , society
crossed you off the list long ago. Nobody
cares about your glove. " May walked away
Tioiu the table lor a few minutes , talked and
laughed with f i lends at the bar , nnd finally
returned to the thico men , and said : "Well ,
Mr. Miller , I shall hear fiom you to-morrow. "
Miller replied that he might and ho might
not , but probably would not , nnd intimated
that lie did not care to have any further deal
ings with May. The men then separated.
Tumble Is expected , as it i.s thought May will
not let It drop.
