FORTY-FIFTH TEAR
HIS HEALTHJS GOOD.
The Sudden Withdrawal of Col
onel Bayne is Now Sur
rounded With
MORE MYSTERY THAN EVER
lio Present Intention of Going Into
Harrison's Cabinet.
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.

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.

Washington, June 4. President Har

THE TARIFF IN THE SENATE.
A NUMBER OF AMENDMENTS OFFERED
BY REPUBLICANS.
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.

IKPECIAL TELEQUAM TO TBS DISPATCH. 1
Louisville, June 4. Frank W. 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

A DOZEN AEE DEAD
"As the Result of the Terrific Cyclone
Throughout the West.
ONE NEBRASKA TOWN WIPED OUT.
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.

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.

' " "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.

SPECIAL TELEOBAM TO TUB DISFATC1T.J
Atjotjsta, Me., June 4. 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."

Columbia, S. C, June 4. It was re

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

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.
