Piatt, Qnay, Clarkson, Manley and - ElklnsTalk ItOrer, j , The Washington Times of yecterday saysr .( Probably the most importsnt meet ing; of recognised Republican leadera einee tbe stormy "days preceding tbe national campaign of 1899, was last night held la this city. -. : j ' The gathering was Ckeluelve to the almost limit of diserimiaatloal Those preacnt would not constitute what Is popularly supposed - to represent a corporal's guard,- but tbe far-reach ing scope of their influence is not.de termlnetlve by axiom or logarithm, There were jest five composing the participants in a conference that may meaa the making of Prealdenta or the outlining of )-'party politlot. Ths meeting was held at the residence of Senator Blkins, 1487. Rhode Island avemue, and those present werei Sena tor Elklns and Quay, Oea Clarkson, ex-Senator Piatt, of Maine, chairman of the Republican executive committee, The conference was necessarily In formal. Mr. Piatt was the last arrival. reaching tbe city oa a let train from New York, ', But the' discntstoa of topics political continued until mid alght. "The fate of empires and tbe destiny of republics has beea deter mined lu lesa time tbaa three hours. After the r melting. Mr. ; Manley stated that the executive committee would meet this afternoon In the baa. quel hall of the Arlington Hotel, but beyond ths fact there was . ao aate- aseembling news to be given out.- The gathering at 8enntor Blklaa! did aot equal the dignity aad formal ity of a banquet, but might best be designated s a luncheon. : Refresh ment wars , nerved and over tbe as. hogaay table theee five gentlemen of national reputation discussed tbe fu ture of the Republioaa party. The personnel was unique from tbe faot that all those present except Sen ate JBIklns are unalterably opposed to the rehabilitation of Benjamin Harri son, as a Prssldsntlnl candidate. Mr. Maaley is openly committed to the fortunes of Thomas B. JBeed 6nera Clarksoa favors Senator Allison first, but anybody to beat Harrison after ward, while Senator Qnay is sconced of growing aspirations, . but pending their justification ie underetord to be vibrating with Senator Piatt, beeween Governor MoKaley nnd Mr. Reed. ' Tbr possibilities of such a conference as this ran neither oe computed, nor estimated. . ' ' ' . .,' ,' The withdrawal of Senator Blklns from tbs support of ex-President Har rison would indleate a aerlous, tf aot fatal, defection. The abaadonment of Seaator Allisoa by General Clarksoa eaa.only b eoatemplatad as a fatality. - . Conld Name tbe Man. The combined eupport of these flte gentlemen would conatliote the practi cal assurance of a nomination. The latenesi of tbe hour aud well known diplomacy of those present prevent the publleatioa of a detailed aesount of their conversation and eon. elusions. But It is safe to say that no basis calculations can exaggerate the import anceof this meeting and its eventful effect upoa the selection of a Republi can Presidential nominee. , ' Above; all things ths eonference of these leaders presages the' fact that thy will, be nnlted when the time amss for final action. There will be ao sentiment or con troversy, btff these Republtcaa chief tains v ill forego their personal prefer eneea aad determine U aupport ac a unit some definite choice for the Precl denoy. - The qaes'Joa now is, upon what fa vorite soa will they agree t Workof UteSapreme Court, , : The Supreme Court takes up appeals todsy from the Eleventh District.

AFTER EIGHTEEN TEARS Workmen Ready to Begin Work on Morgen Street Bridge. After eighteen yearc of talking and squabbling the Morgan street bridge eeema to bs Bearing a rnality. Tb Seaboard baa a force of men to begin work, aad tbey would have done'eo yec terday but the condition of the e!e mente wac ?ry unfavorable s Is the ease todsy. - As soon aa tbe weather breaks, work will begin promptly. It ia a big feather in the evp (jrowe. If you please) of the present admfoistra tioa that they should have broight thia matter to such n successful en ling when o'her bosids of other days snd of as much patriotism have tried and failed. Now that the bridge is aisured, the extension of Morgan street westward is a matter of the near future. Ths Board of Aldermen, at ths last meet lng, ordered that a committee consist ing of five appraisers be appointed to appraise property on the new street. When Morgan street is opened it will develop some valuable property which at present ic lying in a state of waste and doesn't make a respectable cow pasture. The property belongs mostly to the Camerons, Boylans and Morde- cais. Several partiee have an eye on these isnds, if put up for sale. It is a good thing. Push it slong. Perhaps certain farmers, who pos sess timid, unpertuaaive stock get more sstisfsction out of tbe opening of the street than any other class of citixens. It is a fact that many farmers have re fused to market at Raleigh because they did not care to encounter tbe atreet care on Hillsboro street. Morgan street, as extended, will tap tbe Harrison road which connects the penitentiary and Hillsborough road. HARPER DANIEL. Danghtcr or Senator Daniel to Wed Mr. Fred Harper. Mr. and Mrs. John W.
