WASHINGTON , Aug. 1C President Cleve
land left Washington via the Pennsylvania
road at 7:20 : o'cUck this morning for Gray
Gables. In explanation of his sudden de
parture the following statement was fur
nished by Private Secretary Thurbcr : "The
president left this morning for a few days'
absence under the advice of his physicians
In the hopa of shaking off a malarial attack
from which ho has been suffering for several
days. Yesterday the attack culminated In
a fever , which was , however , under control
this morning. Dr. O'Reilly , his physician ,
expresses no doubt but that a few days of
salt air and real will recuperate the presi
dent sulllclcntly to renew his official duties
and ho will return to Washington by the
middle of next week. He has gone lo Gray
Gables accompanied by Dr. O'Reilly. Cap
tain Roblcy D. Evans alco accompanied the
president , but It Is probable that ho will
stop In New York , where ho will take com
mand of his ship , the New York , In a day
or so , "
Senator Berry , Representallvcs Outhwalte
and Turner of Georgia and several other
congressmen called at the white house soon
after 9 o'clock and were surprised to find
that the president had departed.
President Cleveland took with him the
river and harbor appropriation bill and
thus can act on this bill while away If ho
BCCB fit to do so. He also took with him a
printed copy of the tariff bill , presumably
for examination. The enrolled copy of the
tariff bill , which Is the one he must sign ,
was taken from the white lionso about noon
to the Treasury department In the usual
course nf olllclal routine. It Is not at all
likely that this record copy will be sent to
Gray Gables later , and the probabilities
therefore are all In favor of presidential
action on the tariff bill helm ? delayed until
Mr Cleveland's return to Washington.
The ten days within which the president
has to act on the river and harbor bill ex
pires Saturday night , but ho has until Mon
day , the 27th lust. , In which to act on the
tariff bill. The president , It Is believed ,
\vlll return on the 24th or 2Dth Inst. , and ,
probably , on the 24th.
REPUBLICANS HAVE A SCHEME.
The republican steering committee met
previous to the convening of the senate to
day and decided to support the motion to
submit the supplementary tariff bills to the
finance committee , and to seek to amend
them In various ways , the principal amend
ment to bo offered for the repeal of the
tariff bill Just passed. The discussion
which occurred In the commltteo Indicates
n preponderance of opinion In favor of the
reference of the bills as contemplaled by
Benalor Harris' motion , the feeling being
that there was no reason In the present In
stance for departing from the usual course
.In such matters. The Idea was also ad
vanced that If there Is reason for amending
the tariff bill In so many essential particu
lars as Is contemplated In the supplemental
bills there Is doubt as to Its general worth
and republican senators will take the posi
tion that It should bo repealed outright.
Enough , they claim , was developed before
the senate bill was accepted by the house
to Indicate thtt If the bill could
have been brought back to the senate In
any way It would have been defeated and
they assert a belief that the same votes on
the democratic side which would then have
been cast against the bill would now bo
cast for Us repeal. They count upon the
votes of Senators Hill , Caffroy , Blanchard ,
Allen and Kjlo. If they should fall on the
repeal amendment they would seek to sub
stitute the bounty provision for the pend
ing bill for free sugar and would expect to
secure the votes of the five senators men
tioned above , except Senator Hill. They
will also offer numerous other amendments
In certain contingencies. Including ono for a
duty on wool. They admit that If the sugar
bill should pass with an amendment pro
viding cither for a bounty or for the repeal
of the main bill the house probably would
refuse to accept It and It most likely would
fall In conference , but they claim the senate ,
especially the republican senators , would not
bo responsible for that result.
The senators also discussed the proba
bility of maintaining n quorum , which they
think piobably cannot long continue. There
nro home republican senators who may not
vote with the majority of their colleagues
on the motion to refer , but It Is believed
that the party would ho practically solid on
the amendments proposed to bo offered.
DIAMONDS MADE FREE.
By n slngtihr typographical error It has
been discovered that diamonds may have to
bo admitted free unless the flaw can be
rectified by a supplementary measure. It
all turns on the matter of n semicolon In
place of a colon. The copy of the tirlff
-llll In possession of the chairman of the house
enrolling commlttleo by which the bill sent
to the president was compared and verified
and which Is regarded as unquestionably
the same as the president's copy contains the
following paragraph In the free list1
Preo List 167 Diamonds ; miners , glaziers
nml engravers diamonds not t t , and diamond
mend dust bert to bo used In the manufac
ture of watches nml clocks.
It Is the semicolon after diamonds at the be
ginning of the paragraph that Is considered
of such Importance. Senator Jones of
Arkansas Insists that the semicolon will not
bo construed so OK to admit ill diamonds
Trio of duty. The Intention , ho t > ald. waste
to have the word diamond made u subhead
and the mistake of n semicolon instead of n
colon will not bo allowed to admit diamonds
free , especially when constiued with the
Jewelry schedule , which especially provides
"uncut precious gems of all kinds 10 per cent
ad valorem. " ,
Senator Jens says the words quoted taken
in connection with the Intention to mike the
word "diamonds" In the free list as a sub-
luvul wlt | be construed to make diamonds
subject to the duty on precious stones.
"Secretary Carlisle Is too good u lavvytr to
construe the act In any oilier way , " remarked
the Arkansas senator.
The statements of customs officers of the
Treasury department to the Associated press
representatives yesterday , however , r.HTcr
from Senator Jones. They asserted that
the strict teller and punctuation of tariff bills
nnd not congressional Intention are followed
by the courts. It Is thought quite probable
tint the matter eventually may have to bo
settled by Judicial construction qf the mooted
point , provided , of course , that a curative act
lie not passed by congress before the new
tariff hciomes a lavv ,
Tl ere U a prospect that If the republican
members of the senate finance committee
Insist ( hat the democrats shall llll the va
cancy on the commlttto befotc action Is
taken upon the supplemental tariff bills the-
democrats will hava trouble In reaching a
decision upon that point. While the ques
tion has not been taken up formally by the
democratic ulcerlng committee , there Is an
understanding that a majority of the demo
cratic senators hnvo united upon Senator
White for the place. Mr , White Is an ad-
vocalo of the free coinage of silver , and
probably will bo opposed by tenatorn who
do not agree with him upon that subject.
There are also Indications that tha demo
cratic senators who are opposed to tha .sup.
plcinontal bills will oppose any action at
this time on the ground that the place Is
too Important to bo filled In an emergency
like the prcfcnt.

urged unity of action and adherence to some
definite plan to advance bimetallic princi
ple ,
The afternoon session was dtfvoted to a
discussion of the coinage laws. A number
of speeches were made bearing on the claim
that legal authority to coin sliver exists. The
speeches were based on this assertion , that
the repeal of the Sherman act docs not re
peal the clauses In the Bland-Allison act.

TROMSOn , Norway , Aug. 1C. Walter
Wollmun , with the crew of the crushed
strainer , Ragnvald-Jarl , arrived here ycster-
diy by the fishing yacht , Berntlno , Captain
Johnson , from North Spltzenbergcn. All
members of the party arc well. Regarding
the failure of his expedition to reach the
pole , Mr. Wellman said to a representative
of the Associated press : "After the loss
of the Ragnvald-Jarl and the consequent
breaking up of my line of retreat I was
compelled to modify my plans for the sum
mer's work and make sure of being able to
return to the coast of Spitsbergen earlier
than Intended , though the expedition reached
within a few miles of the eighty-first parallel
on May 12 , eleven days from Tromsoe.
"The scsson had then changed to the
other extreme. North of the Seven Islands ,
situated at the extreme north end of Spllz-
bergen as far as we could see , were masses
oC heavy , unbroken Ice , which appeared
arnolulely Immssible.
"The expedition then turned Its face cast ,
along the northeast land , and , though the
northeast gales broke up the Ice which had
promised to afford smooth and easy traveling ,
the northeast land was explored.
The scientific men of the parly made many
Interesting observations In geology and
natural hlslory. Prof. Owen B. French of
the coast and geodetic survey , Washington ,
accurately surveyed a large part of the coast.
"Among the points added to the may by
virtue of the discoveries made during this
survey are Capes Gresham , Whitney , Armour
and Scott , and Walsh Island.
"On July 1 , with the seven men and an
aluminium boat , I started to force my way
over the pack Ice , but was compelled , afler
several days of frightful struggling with the
Ice , to glvo up the attempt.
"On July 1 , I started to return to Walden
Island , crossing Dove biy. Wo were all
compelled for hours to wade through water
waist high. The screwing of the pack Ice
threatened to destroy the boats and sledges ,
but though they wcro subjected to the hard
est usage , aluminum boats came through
uninjured. Had It not been for the protec
tion afforded the stores by the water-tight
cases , progress would have been Impossible
In pack ice , where men and sledges were
half the time In the water and halt the time
on the Ice.
"Crossing Dove bay , Ame , the metorolo-
glst of the party , broke a bone of his right
leg and had to be carried In the boats to
AValden Island , which was reached on July
22. Wo waited a fortnight In vain for open
water , and on August 4 decided to
push through the Ice. The attempt ,
which was a most dangerous one ,
was wholly successful , and our four boats
reached Low Island on August G , where we
sighted the Bertlne. Eventually we hired
her to convey our party to Tromsoe. Wo
sailed from Low Island on August 7 and
reached Dare's Island on August 8. There
we took off Prof. Oyen , the geologist , and
Hycrdahl , the runner and sportsman from
the University of Christiana , and the stores
which they wore guarding for us.
"Though we were unable to get as far
nortli as wo hoped In 1894 on account of the
loss of our steamer , etc , and the bad nature
of the season , I am determined to try the
Spltzbsrgen route again In 1895. "

Salvadorean Connul t { ' " > Francisco Help
ing' Him In Ills Troubles.
SAN FRANCISCO , Aug. 16. New and un
expected complications have arisen hero In
the Ezeta case. It became known today
that warrants for the arrest of the refugees
have been In San Frqnclsco since Tues
day , but that owing tuj d ssenshns among
the local representatives ! of the government
of San Salvador the documents cannot be
served. The gunboat Bennlngton continues
In Iho meantime to crlilse off the heads ,
beyond the three-mile Ihnlt , while the law
yers who are here representing the San
Salvadorean government are endeavoring to
patch up the affairs of the local consulate.
The trouble hero is due to the fact that
the consulship Is held by a man who owes
his appointment to ex-Crestdcnt Ezeta , and
who Is still loyal to Uib deposed president ,
though the new government has rccsgnlzed
him as Its official.
Carlos Vrlngojen Is the local consul.
Nearly three weeks ago he left San Fran
cisco suddenly and went to New York , and
It is said now that his purpose was to meet
ex-President Ezeta when ho should arrive
there. Soon afterward V'co ' Consul Kelly
departed for Mex.co , leaving the affairs cf
San Salvador to bs lopked' after by Mariano ,
who formerly represented San Salvador
here. He , like Consul Vringojen and Vice
Consul Kelly , Is friendly to the Ezctns , and
will do nothing lo jeopardize their cause.
As a result , the warrants of arrest are
lying In Consul Vrlngoven's office , and there
Is no ono who will officially place- them In
the hands of the United States marshal.
Consul Vnngo > on Is speeding back to San
Francisco as fast aa steam will carry him ,
but those in a position to know declare
that he can be depended upon to do noth
ing that would Injure his friend Ezeta.
It Is probable , however , that Vrln-
goyen will be deposed as consul. It
Is said his successor Is now cnroute here
by steamer from San Salvador. L G. Gon-
zalcs , son of an influential merchant , Is
also mentioned as a poss ble successor.

SAN FRANCISCO , Aug. 16 The Chroni
cle , In reference to the trial of Rev. A. C ,
Hirst before a commission of the Methodist
Episcopal conference , says : The friends of
Dr. Hirst allege that the accusations are
the result of Ineffective1 attempts at black
mail. Ills champions are Rev. J. rilben ,
Detective Thompson1 and a youth named
George Wlllard , as well as many others , who ,
wlthsut pretending to Intlmale knowledge ,
have Implicit faith In the accused clergyman.
The wltness3s mentioned say that Rev. S. E.
Rogers Is a clerical adventurer. Dr. Filben
said : "Ho came to this city from England
with letters of Introduction to Bishop Nlcols
from the bishop of Liverpool and others.
Ono of those letters Intimated that Mr. Rog
ers was not quite right mentally. After
being here a short time Rev. Rogers left
the Episcopalians and1 joined the Baptists ,
then he went into the Presbyterian church ,
and finally became a Methodist , receiving
his appointment t the Methodist mission
In Frultvale at the hands'of his clerical coun
cil In this case , R.v. Dr. Carroll. "
Mr Filben further stated , and In what ho
said Detecllve Thompson concurred , that Mr.
Rogers boastsd that he had put others in
the sama plight ns Dr. Hirst , and that ho
had an English lord rolling In jail. The
> outh , George Wlllard , , ilgncd a statement
accusing Dr. Hirst of unmcntlanablo crimes.
Edmund Bldvvcll Is a , rather sullen youth.
He Is said to be Rogers' chief witness ,
though he mumbled yesterday when that as
sertion was mads : "There's n dozen more
boys. " Ho Is credited vwlth having made

to the crime. lie was . .for some months a

ST. LOUIS , Aug. -Wholesale dry goods
merchants expect a still further revival of
trade now that the statesmen at Washington
have agreed upon a tariff bill. In anticipa
tion of the passage of some sort of a tariff
bill dry goods that had been lying In bond
were being put In condition to ship on short
notice ten days ago. Wholesale dry goods
and wholesale hardware merchants of this
city have had thousands upon thousands of
dollars' worth of foreign goods lying In bond
for several months whllo waiting to bee what
the outcome of the tariff legislation would
be. Now all tlitse goads are being withdrawn
fiom bond as qulcfcjy as possible and are to
be thrown on the' niarket. ,
Wholesale mercliqrits , have figured that
the passage of n tariff hill lowering duties
would finally compensate them for the loss
of time and Interest on- their money by al
lowing their Imported goods to remain In
bond.
At Collector Daltoti'Riofllcc It was learned
that In the last. thrp day" * there has been a
scramble to get the goods out of bondas

DALLAS , Aug. 16. At 1 o'clock this morn
ing the Cleveland democracy headed by
Ocorgo Clarg , jumped Into the saddle In
Texas and rode over the free silver 14 t : > 1
ratoes by a vote of 451 to 415. The platform
presented by the minority of committee's
report was adopted by that vote. Had the
majority of free silver at the ratio of 1C to
1 report bscn adopted there Is a probability
that the straight Cleveland men would have
bolted the convention , for the feelings had
bjen worked up to the point of anger , and
It Is said many free silver men voted against
their convictions In the Interest'of harmony
When the convention assembled at 1 30
today Chairman Hambley read a letter from
John II. Reagan withdrawing from the race
for governor , declaring he had made his
canvass on the Issue of free silver at the
ratio of id to 1. and that ho would not ac
cept a nomination on the platform adopted
If given him Ho said , however , he would
support the ticket that shall be nominated
The convention prc cded to nominations for
governor.
At the beginning of the first billet John
D. McCall withdrew , leaving the rac > b ° -
twccn Culberson and Lanaham. Reagan's old
forces were largely for Culberson , and when
ho had received over 600 votes the roll call
was stoppsd by Lanahum's friends and Cul-
berson nominated by acclamation.
George T. Jester of Corslcana was nom
inated for lieutenant governor. The con
vention then took a recess llll 8 o'clock th s
evening. The platform reiterate * the
national democratic platform adopted In
1892 , endorses the state administration ,
Governor Hogg , and reaffirms the "harmony
agreement" between the democratic facllons
ontred Into March 19 , 1894 , at Dallas.
President Cleveland's administration Is en
dorsed as w so , patriotic and statesmanlike ,
and the president's action In calling out
troops to suppress lawlessness during the
recent railway strike was commended. The
financial and tariff planks arc as follows
Wo hold to the use of both gold and sil
ver as the standard money of the country
and the colnaagc of both metals without
discrimination aga nst either metals or
charge for mintage ; but the dollar unit cf
coinage of both metals must be of equal
Intrinsic and exchangeable value , adjusted
through International agreement or by Mich
safeguards of legislation as shall Insure the
maintenance of the parity of the two metals
and the equal power of every dollar at all
times In the markets and in the pa > mcnt of
debts , and wo demand that all paper cur
rency shall be kept at par and redeemable
In such cln.
Wo demand cf congress the passage of'
such tariff laws as mav be In strict accord
ance with the principles announced in our
last national platform and denounce all at
tempts to secure special protection or privil
eges , for any particular class or classes as
unwise , unpatriotic and undemocratic.
Upon reassembling at 8 p. m the con
vention at once proceeded to fill out the
balance of the state ticket. William Cock-
rane of Cleburlio was nominated for attorney
general on the first ballot.
The convention Is balloting on a candidate
for secretary of state at midnight.

BUFFALO , Wyo , Aug. 10 ( Special to
The Deo. ) The democratic state ticket nom
inated at Cheyenne was very coldly received
by Johnson csunty democrats. The r dele
gation went down to the conventlsn entirely
unpledged , but with a perfect understand
ing that the main object In view was the
defeat of Congressman H. A. Coffeen and
the removal of A. L New from the chair
manship of the state central committee.
New has retired from the latter position so
quietly and quickly that It Is difficult to
define the exact t mo of his exit. Traces
of his vvcrk may bo seen In the defeat of
John Charles Thompson for congress and
the substitution of Coffeen. The latter ap
pears to have received the support of the
Johnson county delegation from the start ,
which Is somewhat hard to explain , in view
of the very strong feeling cgainst him
manifested by botli sections of the democratic
party here. Johnson county democrats seem
to consider that they were entitled at least
to go on record as opposed lo his nomina
tion. Ccffecn's main strength lay In the
solid and sullen support of the .Sheridan
county delegation , who absolutely refused
to take psrt In any compromise which did
not Include Coffeon as nominee for congress.
Pcisonally , Coffecn Is not popular In his
own county , and It Is dlfllcult lo say what
Influence Is at his back. He claims him
self to bo able to control a good many popu
list votes , but In this lie Is probably mis
taken. Ho Is said to IIEVO sought and re
ceived Ncw's aid In the convention , but
considering that their relations have been
greatly strained for some time and that
Coffeen Is at present openly opuccd to
h m , this seems doubtful.
The choice of W II Holllday for governor
Is fairly satisfactory , except to the sloek-
growing clement and their friends , to whom
ho Is bitterly opposed on the Invasion ques
tion. The balance cf the ticket provokes
little comment , except a general endorse
ment of Judge Corn for supreme judge.
Ncllla Corthcll , who was mentioned In con
nection vv th this position , IK now chairman
of the democratic state central committee ,
and an unknown quantity. The ticket will
probably be strengthened by the substitution
of Perry Organ as sUto treasurer In the
place ef John Stone , the present nominee ,
who Is leaving the state , and as a whole
Is likely to receive the support of the party ,
but will draw no vfitcs from the populists
la Johnson county.
