THE IMPORTERS ENTER A PROTEST Against the Final Passage of the McKinley Tariff Measure. AKOIHEE SODTHEEK DEM0CE1T FIEED Both Colonel and Sirs. Bayne insist that Ms health is excellent. That is not the reason of his declination of another term in Congress. Bepnblican Senators have pro posed several amendments to the tariff hill. A delegation of New York importers pre sented numerous arguments against the measure. iritOSI JL STATP COREESrONDEXT. Washington, June 4. Hon. John Dalzell and Thomas JL Bayne were the dis tinguished arrivals from the State of Alle gheny this morning. Both were looking well, Mr. Dalzell plainly showing his grati fication at his complimentary nomination, and Colonel Bayne not disposed to give any more satisfactory explanation of his extra ordinary dramatic Teat of Tuesday than those already given. He did not go to the Capitol, hut re mained at his charming residence on Massa chusetts avenue, in comDany with Mrs. Bayne. The story that he had declined because of ill health was denied by both Mr. And Mrs. Bayne. He said his health was good. The Colonel, when asked if he were going into President Harrison's Cabinet, eaid: "The statement that anybody is to retire from the Cabinet and I am to succeed him is entirely without foundation." As to the indignation over Stone's nomi nation, he said: "I know nothing of it, Mr. Stone is a very capable man, and was lairly nominated by a convention called for that purpose. He ought to be elected." Mr. Bayne said in regard to the criti cisms upon his course in declining: "I do not see why I should be criticised. I made the race for two reasons. First, I wanted my coarse in Congress indorsed, and I did not want to subject the McKinley hill to what might have been construed un favorably, as my failure to be nominated might have been; secondly, I wanted to re tain political power in the hands of my friends. r "Outside of the fact that I have served in Congress as long as I desire," concluded Mr. Bayne, "there are no other reasons in the world, except those already given, for the course I have pursued in declining a renom ination." Liohtner. REED AS A REFORMER. THE HUCKSTERS MUST VACATE THE CAPITOL CORRIDORS. A Number of Characters That HaTo Be come Historic Forced to LenTe No Ooe Else Dared to Moke Such an Innova tionThe SpenUer Mipremc fFBOM JL. 6TATT COnBEBPOlfDENT.l Washington, June 4. Apparently, Speaker Eeed does not propose to leave a single darling abuse in the House end of the Capitol for the growlers to growl at. He made a clean sweep of the old mossback rules, when, with a stroke of his pen, he established practical prohibition in the res taurant, and now he has issned an order that tbe pie, toy and newspaper stands that have been an eyesore for long years, must tate a walk within a few days. The fiat lias created dismay and despair. The Sen ate side of the Capitol has been free from these nuisances Tor a long time, but the freedom they have had on the House side has caused the corridors of those precincts to be overrun with all sorts ot booths until the stranger might imagine himself at a church fair. The last stand tn go from the Senate was Senator David Davis' old pie woman, who for years furnished the great Illinois States man with his favorite pie and luscious glass of milk everv day at the noon hour. Some ot the Judge's eneruics in the Senate worked up a scheme to drive the old woman so far away that her chief patron would not be able to get back the same day when he went for his luncheon. She was permitted to tquat upon a claim in the lower corridor near the dungeons of the House wing. There she remains to this day, but she will have to get a move on her, as they say down in Maine, before the close of the week. Near her is another pie and milk stand, a pictnre stand, and a cigar stand. In the corridor above the chief figure is "Clara Morrts,""a very old and half-dazed French woman who has been there since the build ing of the Capitol, and had the intimate ac quaintance of every pnblic man from the time of Jefferson, to accept her own storv. This is the main corridor and the takes p nearly half the space ot the passage. Yet almost across the corridor from her is a ginger bread stand, extensively patronized bv Congressmen who are accustomed to that commodity in close association with the festive watermelon at country fairs in cam paign time. Cigar stands, newspaper and c.uiu y stands to the number of halt a dozen, hcver.il telegraph offices and a decrepit old woman with an apple basket, make up an outfit of this character that cannot be found in the capital building of any other parlia mentary bodv in the world. Time and again efforts have been made to abolish them, but tbe squatters always had enough friends to prevent their eviction. Now it is different. When Speaker Beed leans up against anything it gives way at once. The telegraph and telephone stands will also shortly be moved to a room, and so the gratia corriaors lelt vacant and majestic, without a feature more trivial than the coming and going statesmen.

New York Importers nter n Very Vigorous Protest Against tho McKinley Measure Sherman Promises That Their Demands Will Itecelre Due Connlderallon. Washin GTOif, Jnne 4. Senator Sher man to-day proposed and had rererred as an amendment to the tariff bill the wool sched ule as prepared by the National "Wool Growers Association. Senator Washburn also proposed to amend the bill by putting white pine timber on the free list. A delegation of abo ut 100 importers from New York Citv aDpeared before the Senate Committee on Finance to protest against the passage of tho McKinley bill. Tbeeommit tee adjourned, owing to the throng, to the Senate reception room, which was crowded. All members of the committee except Chair-' man Morrill were present Senator Sher man presided. Mr. J. M. Constable, of Arnold, Constable & Co., was chief spokes man for the delegation. 'He presented the formal protest of the importers of Hew York. CAUSE OF THE KICK. The importers protested against the bill because they believed it would legislate in favor of one class against another class, for the benefit of the manuiacturers against the importers, and also because it will work acainst the poor man of the country. If the McKinley bill went into operation a great many ot the importers would have to retire from business. Mr. Henry W. Curtis then spoke against the increased duties on silks, Mr. Isadore Strauss against increase on pottery and glassware, and Louis Windmuller against The increase on wool. At the alternoon session Mr. Daniel McKee protested against the increased duties on coat linings, plushes and astrachan cloths, Mr. P. B. Worrall against increase on cotton velvets, Mr. Car lisle against the linen schedule, and Mr. Maurice Lowye against- the increase on hosiery and underwear, and so on through the list, somebody objecting to each feature. The protest of business firms interested in felts was submitted in print. It objects to the L McKinley bill as doubling duties. This SHERMA5T 'WTLI, CONSIDER IT. Mr. Constable thanked the committee for its attention and consideration, and ex pressed his earnest hope that the hearing would do something to settle properly the tariff question, which was now being agi tated to the detriment of the business inter ests of the whole country. Senator Sherman responded for the committee, saying it had heard the speakers with interest, and would give due consideration to all that had been said. The printed protest presented to the com mittee by Mr. Constable is signed by 455 mercantile firms of New York City. It pro tests against the passage ol the bill for the lollowing reasons: First Because it is wholly unnecessary, the country no looser needing the revenue from such uncalled for and unjust taxation. Second It does not accomplish its purpose. Third It is unjust in that it discriminates in favor of the rich against the poorer classes. Fourth It handicaps trade. Fifth It retards the progress of the nation, the welfare of tbe wbolo country and the per manent good of the manufacturers themselves, who require a reduction rather than an in crease or tariff dutleL Sixth Tbe administrative bill increase the revenue by many millions of dollars. ANOTHER ONE BOUNCED. An Alabama Congressman jXellnqatahes Ills beat to a Colored Republican. Washington, June 4. The contest case of McDuffie against Turpin, of Ala bama, was closed in the House to-day. Mr. Wilson, of Missouri, in advocating the claims of the contestee, said that this case was intended to pave the way for a Federal election law. The verdict in this case would stain the record of the House for all time. It was a monument which wonld stand forever of the greatest injustice ever wrought on this floor since tbe loundation of the Government. Mr. Turpin spoke briefly in his own behalf. Mr. Howell, of Illinois, summed up the case of tbe contestant. In the course of his remarks he said that the time was coming when all over the United States it would be as much a crime to stuff a ballot box' or falsify a return as it would be to commit a felony. An act of justice was about to be done in reversing the wrong perpetrated in a district where certificates of election were obtained by the counters and not by the vote of the people. The first vote was ta&en on the minority resolntion declaring Turpin elected, and it was rejected yeas,114; nays, 130. The majority resolution seating Mc Duffie was agreed to yeas, 130; nays, 113, and Mr. McDuffie appeared at the bar ot tbe House and took the oath of office. CAUSE OP TEE SHORTAGE. Fnnds Deficient Becaaneof the Large Nam. bor of New Pensioners. Washington, June 4. It is stated at the Pension Office that the deficiency in the amount of funds in the hands of the differ ent pension agents, which has resulted in the announcement by the agent at Indian apolis that a large number of the pensioners will be compelled to wait until July 1 for the payment of their pensions, has been caused by the unusually large number of allow ances made by the Pension Office under the present administration. The great amount of allowances has been largely in original cases. There have been issued already 7,000 more original pensions than were is sued during the la?t fiscal year, and the office has yet a month's work before the end ot the present fiscal year. Another drain upon the appropriation, it is said, was the act of March 1, 1890, which increased to $72 per month all pensions for total disability requiring the aid and at tendance of another person. The number of these cases is large an'd involves the ex penditure of a large amount of money. A REBATE OK THE SEEK Consumed by the Employes Desired by the Itrewery Representatives. rrnoM a staff cobbesfoitdext.j Washington, June 4. The Senate yes terday passed a bill lessening the red tape difficulties surrounding the securing of tbe rebate allowed upon beer under the internal revenue laws. The bill was passed too soon for its friends the brewers, however. Bep resentatives of the brewing interests wanted an amendment tacked on allowing a rebate on beer consumed in the breweries by the employes, which would amount to no small item. This amendment was left in charge ui ucuoiuj t , i wuue mai gentleman was in a committee the rebate bill was called up and passed. Now the brewery representatives are en deavoring to get the amending done in the House. Mr. Lafollette, of Wisconsin, whose committee has the bill in charge, told them he feared the amendment might jeopardize the passage of the bill, but the brewery men told him the amendment was more important than the bill, and so the at tempt will be made to get it in.

Mell vain, Cashier or the Sulphur Deposit Bank of Snlphur, Ky., is missing. So is Mrs. Hattie Watkins, wife of John Watkins, the leading hotel keeper of Snlphur, and so, it is believed, is about $10,000 of the bank's fnnds. Expert accountants from this city and Cincinnati are at work upon the books, but have yet made no Teport, and the other bank officials are uncommunicative. Mcllvain and the woman have not been seen for four days. Both belong to excel lent (amil ipi.ind moved in the best of society. Mcllvain is married, and his father is presi-' dent ot the bant. 'Xne young man was made cashier when scarcely past his ma jority, and was an excellent official. Mrs. Watkins is quite a young woman, but she and tbe young cashier, didn't be come acquainted until a few months ago. They were greatly pleased with each other, and Mcllvain soon began visiting her. His attentions soon became so mareed that finally her husband taxed her with her guilt and drove her away from home. This was one dav last week. Four days later she got on the train tor this city, saying she was coming here to pay a visit. On the same train was Mcllvain, and they were seen by mutual friends. Mrs. Watkins cried, and said she wished she had never seen Mcllvain, and he also said the same thing of her. He prom ised to leave ber4n tbe city, and return to Sulphur, but he never did, and they have not been seen since. Detectives have been put at work on the case, but no trace of either has been discov ered. It is not believed that Mcllvain's flight will cause the bank to suspend. TOOLE JERRY IN TOWN. He Talks Fluently of Cattle nnd the Ad ministration. New York. June 4. Uncle Jerry Agri cola Busk, of the President's Cabinet, re turned to the Fifth Avenue Hotel last evening after a visit to the wilds of Blissville and a consulta tion with Dr. Salmon, Chief of Bureau of Animal Industry; Dr. Bobinson, chief local inspector, and Judsnn Smith, the general ageut in "this State. The visit and the consultation were in relation to the plague of pleuro-pneumonia that farmers and cattle owners dread. TJnele Jerry said last night that the disease had been so stamped out that quarantine and other re strictions were no longer necessary except in a small district along the boundary line be tween Kings and Queens counties. At one time there were evidences of it in nine counties in the State, and in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland. Uncle Jerry was equally well satisfied with the political outlook, and said that the chances were all in favor of General Harri son's nomination and re-election, as his ad ministration would prove to be a good and popular one as soon as the people could get a chance to view it without the disturbing effect of the stiver agitation and the tariff question. He evidently expects that these difficulties will be out of the way before 189Z THE TURNER WAE AGAIN. Tiio Sheriff's Posse Kill Two nnd Wound Three In Jinking- an Arrest. 'Louisville, Ky., June'4?

The surrey in which they were seated was struck and car ried 150 yards through Market street. James Coyle escaped bv jumping. William Mc Ginnis, of 63 Fillmore street, was instantly killed, and Frank Hauck and John Kinney are so mangled that they can't recover. The horse was not struck and was caught by a policeman. Dozens of persons saw the accident and say the driver of the surrey was entirely to blame. There are no gates at the crossine, and lully 50 lives have been lost there since the tracks were laid half a century ago. Hauck is the only married man in the trio.

Hot a Buildine of a Once Lively Tillage Aow Bemaininff. A EAILEOAD CAR BLOWN SINE MILES. Portions ef Iowa Buffer Eererely From the Effects of the Storm. The village of Bradshaw, Neb., was wiped ont by a cyclone Tuesday night. Not one building withstood the force of the wind. Twelve persons were killed and many were injnred. The storm was severe throughout the West. .SPECIAL TELEQKAM TO THE DISrATCII.1 Omaha, June 4. The cyclone which struck Bradshaw last night demolished every building in town, and instantly killed 12 persons and burled many more. A deluge of rain and hail followed the cyclone. The prairie is covered with dead stock, freight cars and building material. People are camping on the prairie. Bradshaw is a town of COO people situated on the Nebraska Bailway, about 60 miles west of Lincoln. The storm strnck the town at 8:30 Tuesday evening, coming from the southwest. Scarcely a moment's warn ing was given, the roar of the whirlwind being the first notice that the terrified people heard. It struck the town lairly and there was not left a single building. THE BUIN COMPLETE. Every business house was made a total wreck, and the princinal street was filled with the ruins. In the extreme western part of the village a few bouses are left with a semblance of their former appear ance, but they are without win dows and doors, and their contents were scattered broadcast over tho jirairie. The depot building was crushed into kindling wood, and every car stand ing there was wrecked except one that was loaded with stock, and which was blown, without leaving the track, to York, a dis tance of nine miles. Tbe telegraph lines were prostrated, and when the car arrived at York it was feared that some disaster had occurred. A mes senger went up the track, and at midnight returned with the news of the disaster. Tbe fire bells were rung, and in a short time large numbers of the people were on their way to give assistance. At tbe same time a special train left Lincoln with physicians and other relief. It was found that a Russian settlement near the town was struck, and the report is that nine persons were killed there outright. THE KILLED AND INJURED. The physicians say that in all 12 are dead, 8 mortally wounded' and perhaps 21 hurt, more or less seriously. The killed are: John Miller, child of J. Bromsey, wife and child of Isaac Penner, livingin the country; child of Mr. Chapin, two members of Mr. Shaw's family, living in the country; wife and child of Mr. Minke and hired man. The injured are: Dr. O. M. Moore, Mrs. Alexander Miller, Lulu Miller, Car rie Miller, Mr. and Mrs. John Babcock, Mr. and Mrs. John Brunsey, Isaac Penner, Mrs. Chapin, the wife of the B..& M agent, iourmetnberof theCutshaw 'family, Mtv Keharr'Miss NeIRo Dorsey," Mr. and Mrs. Williamson, Prof. McDer mott, Thomas Boss, Mrs. Wiggins, E. P. Logan, wiie and two children; Tylan Colby and many others. Governor Thayer to-dajr ordered the York militia to the scene to assist in caring lor property. He also sent 60 army tents and other supplies on a special train which left Lincoln this evening. A special telegram from Des Moines says: Western Iowa was again deluged with heavy rains last night. Great damage was inflicted uDon the towns of Underwood, Neola, Persia and Weston, in Pottawattomie county. This morning about 10 o'clock Mosquito creek, flowing through these towns, overflowed its banks and all the country was flooded. CAUSED BY A CLOUDBUEST. The sudden swelling of the creek is tnougnt to nave Deen caused by a cloud burst near Neola this morning. At Under wood about 35 residences in the low lands were wrecked by water, and as many fami lies rendered homeless Five miles of the Milwankee track were washed awav. and that part of the town traversed by the Mil waukee and Bock Island roa'ds is submerged under 15 feet of water. No lives were lost, but there were some very narrow escapes. At Weston the same creek overflowed its banks and the city was flooded to a depth of five feet. This occurred about 10 o'clock this morning, and so sudden was it that the people are firm in the belief that a cloud burst occurred near that point. Thirteen houses were wrecked and 50 more or less damaged. At Persia the overflow was equally severe. Water flooded the town five feet, and carried away the entire contents of the Alliance lumber vard, resulting in a loss ot $7,000. The creet at this point is i miles wide, and the current strong. Four houses wrecked. Beports received at the railroad offices in this city say that the Milwaukee and Bock Island sustained severe losses at Weston, Underwood and Persia. All trains are suspended on both roads. KILLING THE CATTLE. A fast stock train on the Illinois plunged into a washout nt Ackley this morning, with seven canoads of cattle. Over 100 head were killed. The storm about Adair last night was the worst ever known there. Heavy clouds rolled up trom the northwest in the evening and by lOo'clock wind was blowing a hurricane, and the rain was falling in a blinding sheet. During the night there were three different storms from as many points of the compass. Corn was badly washed out and orchards and gardens ruined In many places. Many wjndows were broken by hail. A barn near Anita was struck by light ning, and a horse was burned to death. One farmer near there lost eight head of large pigs by their being washed out of the pen into a creek. Another lost three in a like manner. A German farmer north west of Adair, whose residence and outbuildings are on the lowlands, lost CO head of good hogs by drowning. His barn, corn crib, hay stacks and fences were floated away, and three feet of water stood in his residence, driving his family to the upper story. The lightning was very vivid and continuous and did much damage. The telegraph wires were badly affected, all being down. A NAEBO'W ESCAPE. John Cook, just east of CasetT, lost a $2,000 stallion by drowning in the middle of the river this morning, and came near losing his own life. The stream was a wide raging flood. 'The storm all over this part of the country did great damage, and it is only surprising that no lives were lost People very generally took to caves and cellars. A terrible electric and rain storm passed over Ackley at an early hour this morning. A cloud burst occurred and water fell in sheets for several heurs. Beaver creek, half a mile north, is a raging torrent and bridges and culverts on the railroads and highways are washed out. Cattle, horses nnd hogs were swept from pasture. One man lost CO iarire fat hops hv the flood in Beaver Valley. Corn fields are badly, .washed out 2T6 humaa'llves ore lost as far as reported. One thunderbolt wrecked the spire of the Presbyterian Church, another riddled the Bevere House, while another killed eight cows. Tbe damage will be great, but its extent is not yet known. UNSAFE TO VENXtTBE OUT. A Dakota Gale Keeps an Audleneo In a Church All Night. Piebbe, S. D., Jnne 4. A big wind storm, accompanied by a drenching rain, came up last night and continued until 10 o'clock this morning. It was impossible to walk in the streets during the whole time, and over 300 people who attended the com mencement exercise's at the Presbyterian College, one mile east of town, were com pelled to remain until late this forenoon in the college chapel. A venturesome hack man was blown from his hack and badly in jured. - The rain still continues to fall in torrents, although the wind has subsided. The pon toop bridge is wrecked and the Missouri is 15 feet above low water. Tbe steamer Chaskaris at the landing, and is being badly pounded up by the gale. PLAN OF CONSOLIDATION. THE FUTURE OF THE PENNSYLVANIA'S WESTERN LINES. Minority Stockholders Will Probably Object to tbe Heir Arrnngcment The Amount of stock nnd Bonds to be Issued A Re serve Fnnd. tSFICIAI. TELEOIIAM TO TUX DISPATCH. Philadelphia, June 4. The directors of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis Bailroad Company and of the Cincinnati, St. Louis and Pittsburg Bailroad Company met at the general office of the Pennsyl vania Bailroad Company to-day and for mally approved the plan ot consolidation with the Cincinnati and Bichmond Bail road Company and the Jeffersonville, Mad ison and Indianapolis Bailroad Company. The plan was perfected by Wistar Morris, W. H. Barnes and Captain John P. Green, and all the papers necessary to consummate the consolidation were prepared by the lawyers of the Pennsylvania Bailroad Com pany and submitted to the directors yester day. A meeting of stockholders will be held in about 60 days, at which the plans will be submitted for ratification. The Pennsyl vania Bailroad Company owns a majority of the stock in the minor companies which constitute its southwestern system, and the ratification will probably be a lonnal matter. Tho Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St Louis Bailroad is the best paying one in the group, and there is likely to be some opposi tion to the consolidation from its minority stockholders, unless they are given a big slice of new securities for their present hold ings. The new company will be known as the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Bailroad Company. The capital stock will be $75,000,000, of which $30,000, 000 will be preferred stock, entitled to 4 per cent dividends, but the dividends are non cumulative, being payable only when earned. Bonds to the amount of $37,000,000 will be authorized. It is expected that only $40, 000,000 of stock and $10,000,000 of bonds will be required to exchange the old securi ties for the new. This will leave in the treasury of the new company $35,000,000 of stock and $35,000,000 ot bonds to be issued as required for betterments and for the ac quirement of new lines. FAILURE OF A PAPEB COMPANY. A Big Concern Bun Into the Ground la ,.t Very Short Ordcr ' " "rsriCIAI. TKLEOKAM TO TITE DISrATGTM "" Pbovidence, June 4. The Biehmond Paper Company this noon assigned to the Treasurer, F. M. Sackett, which action practically winds up the business. In Feb ruary, 1889, the company was on a good basis, with a paid up capital of $800,000, with assets of $885,000 and liabilities of $668,000, including a mortgage note to the Bhode Island Hospital Trust Company. In May, 1889, a second mortgage was given to Thomas C. Greene to secure about a dozen ofthe directors, who agreed to put in' $300, 000 additional capital, $100,000 of it to be. used as working capital. At a meeting of the stockholders soon after it was voted to leave the management of the whole thing to the directors. Busi ness became bad and in July they sus pended and in September shut down, and have remained closed ever since. In May of this vear thev were attached for $16,000 by W. F. Say'les, who claimed a royalty, ahd the assignment is the result of that. The plant ot the concern is on tbe Seekonk river, and cost $130,000, but is not worth quarter ol that now.

The Bed Line 'steamer Miranda arrived here from New foundland to-night, after being blocked by ice in Twillings Bay for two or three days. The captain reports that the whole coast from Green Bay to Trinity Bay, a distance of 130 miles, is solidly packed with bergs and drift ice to a depth of 15 miles out 'to sea. Off the Funk Islands there are two enormous bergs, nearly three miles long and about 60 feet high.

For years there has always been more or less trouble in Democratic State Conventions over the question of indorsing prohibition in the State platform. The liquor men Invariably try to insert a plank favoring license or a resubmission of the whole qnestion to tha people. Once or twice such a plank has gone through, but it has operated against party success. , The State Constitution now prohibits the liquor traffic, and temperance people, as well as those who use liquor, are satisfied to have it so. To the former Constitutional prohibition seems right; to the latter it makes no difference, as liquor is abundant enough in everv citv in the State. Bnt the matter "will not down," and to-day the sub ject came up for the Democrats to wrestle with in State Convention, and this time the friends of license got the cold shoulder. The convention was called to order this morn ing, M. P. Frank, of Portland, acting as Permanent Chairman. Tho Committee ou Credentials reported 616 delegates present Hon. W. Hill, of Exeter, was nominated for Governor. STANDS BY OKOVR. The platform adopted reaffirms the prin ciples of the-national Democatio platform of 1888, and maintains with Grover Cleveland that unnecessary taxation is unjust taxa tion: that taxation shall be reduced to the needs of an economical operation of the Government; that such reduction shall be made on the necessaries of life in common use by the people. The platform continues: At the last Presldental election, tbe Demo cratic candidate's majority of 100,000 was set aside by the corrupt purchase of the floaters in New York and Inaiana by tbe Quays and Cud leys, and Harrison is in the chair as a result of this purchase. Since bis admission to power he has shielded the bribers, rewarded tbe men who furnished tbe corruption funus and mnz zled the press by subsidizing its editors with largo offices, and the Bepnblican leaders tn Congress propose to enact a tarift act not for revenue nor even for protection, but as a job to procure means with which to pnrchase the next election at the polls. We believe in an honest and impartial enforcement of all laws on the statute book and In an honest civil service, honestly observed not prostituted to party. The platform further calls upon the Legis lature lor the enactment of a law for the settlement of labor troubles by arbitration; points with pride to the party's effort to seenre anti-bribery laws in Maine, and re news pledget-to'lewire enactment of a secret ballot act, and to support well-coniidered means for the improvement of labor. THE LIQTJOE QUESTION. The Bepnblicansof the State are arraigned for hypocrisy on the liquor question, which tbe- platform touches on as follows: We recognize the evils of intemperance and sympathize with all honest,well-directed efforts to eradicate them, and in support of this we appeal to the thoughtful men and women of Maine that all true enforcements of the pro hibitory laws has been, with few exceptions, at the hands of Democratic officials. The soldier and sailor are then remem bered, and the platform concludes as follows: ft We point with pride to the administration of Orover Cleveland and gladly contrast his manly efforts directed for the welfare of the people with those of President Harrison, whose every pledge is violated in an attempt to per petuate bis party in power. After considerable debate a minority reso lntion to resubmit the prohibition constitu tional amendment to the people was defeated 273 to 176. The convention then adjourned. DECLARES FOR DEPEW. A Chicago Republican FaTors Him for tbe Presidency In 1S92. rSPECIAt. TW.EPBASI TO TUB DISPATCn.1 New Yobk, June 4. General J. T. Torrence, of Chicago, was at the Fifth Ave nue Hotel to-day, and said to a Dispatch reporter that Chicago was prepared to give Mr. Chauncey M. Depew a rousing wel come there to-morrow evening. He added: "It is true, Mr. Depew said in his World's Fair speech at Washington that Chicago was hot in 1888. I agree with him. It was very hot for all Presidental candidates. Things have changed since 1888, and now Mr. Depew is our- candidate for the Presidency in 1892. The sentiment out West is fast crystalizing in bis favor. I hear him spoken of everywhere. It is all nonsense to say that the farmers wonld not vote for him. I have talked with many of them and know how they feel on the subject. They know that he is one of the ablest and fairest men in America. Although he does' not occupy a Government office be is known and admired all over the country. His reputation is not only na tional, but international. He could carry every Republican State and New York thrown in. I think the Democrats recog nize Depew's eminent ability, magnetism and popularity, and that is why they try to keep him from being nominated by raising the false cry that the farmers would not vote for him. He is the strongest, most brilliant and most eligible Bepublican to-day." TEE ALABAMA REPUBLICANS. A Fcw'Fodernl Officers Assemble and Nom inate Stnlo Officers. Montgomery, Ala., June 4.

It was re ported last night that a duel was imminent between two of tbe most prominent lawyers in Aiken. Colonel George W. Croti, of Aiken, has been acting as the legal representative of County Treasurer Murray, who recently defaulted to the amount of $17,000, and a few days ago Mr. P. A. Emanuel, also of the Aiken bar, passed criticism upon Colonel Croft on his connec tion with the Murray case, and this led to words between them. The quarrel was renewed to-day, and it is believed that a duel has been arranged. Colonel D. H. Henderson, it is un derstood, has been selected as Mr. Eman uel's friend, while an equally promi nent gentleman will represent Mr. Croft 'Nothing further can be ascer tained about the matter.

It is thought that when the present triple alliance expires, Signor Crispi will become the arbiter of the destinies of Europe. France, therefore, assumes a con ciliatory attitude toward the Italian Gov ernment 1BT CABLI TO THE DISPATCH. St. Petersburg, June 4. The very cordial and friendly reception of the Prince of Naples in Bussia by all the representa tive people with whom be has come in contact, and a number of other very evident indications which have occurred lately of a desire on the part ofthe Bnssian Government to cultivate tho friendship of Italy, are finding an echo in the French journals of this city. The Gr ashdanin, in particular, goes so far as to say thatltaly's participation in the Crimean war was purely platonic, and affords no reason for a coolness .between her and Bus sia. In 1892, it is believed, when the treaty of the Triple Alliance shall have expired, Signor Crispi, who has proved himself so strong a states man, will find himself by the removal of Prince Bismarck from the theater of action the practical arbiter of the destinies of Eu rope. He will hold, it is asserted, the bal ance of power between Germany and Aus tria on the one hand, and Bussia and France on the other. Hence arise the efforts of the latter two powers to withdraw Italy from tbe Tripla Alliance, and to so separate1 her from her present friends as to make it possible to in fluence her against Germany and Anstria when the time comes. To tbe prompting of this policy is to be attributed tbe- distinctly conciliatory attitnde of France toward Italy in matters of commerce as well as the social friendliness of Russia.
