Wasmnuton, Jan. 20. The il'st of tho delegations to press the claims bf Six cltleS for the locatlou of the Democratic National Convention upon the members of tho National Committee reached hero Japt night. It consists of about 50 Tammany braves headed by Richard CroVer, the head of that organization. , , Tho aspirants for the honor of enter taining the convention aro New York, Cincinnati, MInncapplls. and St. Paul, Indianapolis, Kansas City and Milwaukee. There are about 20 members of the committee In Vashipgton this morning, ant they are In great demjind by the members of the several delegations. Kvery boomer thinks his city Is sure to be chosen, but no one can tell what tht result will be, or make a decent approx imation of the vote on tho first ballot. It Is reported that Senator and Chair man lirice is working fot Cincinnati, and under the supposition that New York did not really want the Convention. There was a feeling that the contest lay be tween Cinciunatl and Indianapolis, but the appearanco of Croker and his Tnm niany braves put a new phase on the situation, and It Is the impression this morning that New York will make a strenuous fight for the Convention. The National Committee will meet nt noon to-morrow. The advocates of the several cities, it Is expected, will be heard in public, and the Committee will go Into executive session to vote. Mil waukee will be represented by Mayor Somers, Judge Donnelly and Senator Vilas, Indianapolis by Senator Turpie, Kansas City by Gov. Francis J. Pratner and Senator Vest. The rumor is now current that al though Chicago Is not an op'eu 'competitor for the Convention, forces 'are at wprk which will succeed In Inducing a ma jority of tho Committee to vote for hold ing the Convention there. These forces are said to include Messrs. Brlce, Gor man and mil. The Pllgriinaeo or Their I.Ives. Washington, Jan. 20. General John Palmer, Commander- ln-Chlef of tho G. A. R., is In Washington.

Shober, who left this place a week ago under a cloud, havinir been de- nosed from tho mlnl.t., l,, ni.i,nn Potter for aliened drunkenness, has ro- turned nd was received with onun nrm by the people of the church to which he lormerly ministered. His friends have been busy during his absence collecting evidence to refute ths charges ma'de against Mr. Shober. The Bev. Dr. Henry L. Zelgenfuss, Archdeacon of the Poughkeepsle diocese, is among those who are working in be half of the deposed rector. Dr. Parker, of Poughkeepsle, ono of the physicians who attended Mr Shober, is said to have admitted that the state ments made to him of Mr. Shober's drinking habits had much to do with his assent to the diagnosis of delirium tremens. It is also said to be generally believed in Poughkeepsle that Mrs. Shober will begin a suit for divorce, which will bo bitterly contested by her husband. Dr. Ziegenfuss is reported as saying that Bishop Potter acted hastily in the matter. He has secured a eprHflratn frnm hU family physician in Salisbury, N. C, to the effect that since a boy any slight jticunesa nas always been accompanied by delirium. It was thought that the delirium tremens were brought on by excessive uruiK, um. as ne can prove to the con trary and as Archdeacon Harry L, Ziegenfuss has espoused his cause, It is supposed that Bishop Potter will un- uonDteuiy reinstate him. EIGHT WERE KILLED. A Sled Load of Younir People and a Train In Collision. St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 20. A Missouri Pacific railroad train ran Into a sleighing party of 21 persons at Foerstelville, six miles west bf this city last night, and killed eight.

MR. BLAINE HAD TO WITHDRAW. Rumor That lie Did Not Loave Account of Illness as Reported Has the Secretary of State. Had a railing Out Willi th l'resldent-Tlie Special Mrssagn Cannot Now IS. Transmitted Until Next Week - Admiral Walker Ordered to Valparaiso Oherardl Will Hiito Full Charge of the United States Vessels. Wabiiinoton, Jan. 20. Every member of the Cabinet except Secretary Foster was present at the beginning of the meeting yesterday. Secretary Blaine came In a trifle late. Ho had with him a memorandum of dis patches which he has received In the last two days, and he read them over to his associates. They related to the withdrawal of the offensive circular of Minister Matta. The Secretary stated that the proposals made by the Chilian Government were alto gether Inadequate. Tho United States Insists upon the withdrawal of tho offensive dispatch, and has demanded that its withdrawal bo made as general In Its character as the original dispatch. The Chilian Government is willing to do nothing further than cancel it with out explanation. The Secretary had hardly finished his reading before lie was taken ill and had to leave tho meeting. After his withdrawal the President went over with the others the rough notes of his message to Congress, which he had jotted down in his usual way be fore embodying it in permanent form. lile members improved, but as the Sec retary of State was absent action was deferred. Tho illness of Secretary Blaine will result in delaying the transmission of the Chlliau correspondence to Congress, piobably until next week. When he left the White House the Cabinet was discussing the message of the President to accompany the correspondence, as the President desires, of course, that what he has to say, his recommendations. etc., hh&itb.ivo the concurrence and ap proval or i.i rtirmoers oi tne cabinet. But no ii .. ,un had been reached when Sir. L, ue was compelled to leave. and as he vii-, the official most interested in the mailer, the further discussion was without result. The next Cabinet meeting will not occur until Friday, and as tho conclusion of the members, what ever It Is, will have to be put in shape after the adjournment, tho message will not bo ready for transmission before faaturday, and as Congress, in all, prob ability, will not be in session that day, the week will have passed before an op portunity to get It beforo Congress will have presented itsulf. 'lhe rumors that the delav in beiidlncr in the message and correspondence was due to the expected offer of arbitration by a friendly power, or the receipt of ad vices that a more friendly spirit prevails in Chlliau official circles, are untrue. Neither of these occurred. The order Issued by the Secretary of the Navy to Admiral Gherardi to proceed 10 tlie south Atlantic station, stopping at Bahia in Brazil for further instruc tions confirms the earlier debpatches. Admiral Walker will sull at once for Valparaiso, and, la accordance with the dispatches &ent him yesterday, will doubtless go by way of Cape Horn in stead of attempting tho passage of the Straits of Magellan with the Chilian fleet blocking tho way. By the time the Chlchgo, Atlanta, aud Bennington reach Chilian waters they will have the Boston, Charleston aud Yorktown to keep them company, with tlie Baltimore near at hand. Admiral Uherardi, with the Philadelphia, Kear suge and Concord, will reach Valparaiso in three weeks, and we shall have ten of the llnest vessels in the navy at the seat of action. Admiral Gherardi, as senior in com mand, will have charge of operations and Admiral Walker will be second lu command. With this licet In Chilian waters the United States will bo m a position to keep the Chilian fleet fully engaged until our land forces can bo brought Into action. WAS BLAINE ANGRY?

The report is persistently circulated this morning that Mr. Blaine'B sudden departure from the Cabinet meeting yesterday aud his failure to attend the State dinner last night is tho result of a direct conflict between the President and tho Secretary of Stato growing out of the Chilian situ ation. lhe fact Is noted that Mr. Blaine did not send his regrets to tho AVhite House until the hour set for tho dinner had ar rived, in face of the fact thut ho assured his friends that he was not ill.
