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

Iter. Mr. Slioher Stands a Good
if ltelnstatement.
Barhytown, N. Y., Jan. 20. Rav
Francis E. 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.

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?
Humor thut He Hid Not Iti tlie mi Account
of Illness.
AVashixotos, Jan. 20. 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.
A United Struts Senator expresses the
opinion that from his knowledge of the
very delicato arid critical, situation of af
fairs aud frotrt tlie fact Ijiat Mr. Blaine
has all along been in favor of a peace
policy he is Inclined to believe that there is
