BUODE ISLAND BII-ELECTIONS BEGIN SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. New Yoke, April IX. The announce ment irom Philadelphia yesterday that "there will be no reconciliation between Senator Quay and President Harrison, and as a result 3Ir. Harrison may eventually not be a candidate for renomination," made much talk among Republicans in New York State. It did more to develop the real rela tions between theBe Republican and the President than anything for a long time past. It is said now, on good authority, that at the Republican State Convention at Albany on April 23 the President's administration will be"coinmended, and that there is little doubt that ei-Senator Piatt, Chauncey W. Depew, Warner Miller and Senator His cock will be selected as thn big four to go to Minneapolis. "Whether they will all go is quite another question. The Dispatch's telegram from Phila delphia said the President would decline a renomination unless Senator Quay, Mr. Piatt, General James S. Clarkson and the rest are solid for him. By "the rest" is meant "Warner Mille-, Colonel "W. "W. Dud ley, Sam Fessendcn, of Connecticut, and others who took an important part in the Harrison battle of 188S. Vanainakers TTork With Qnar. Concerning John Wanam3ker's efforts to reconcile Senator Quay with the adminis tration, it was asserted by high authorities that Wanamaker had been lor some time negotiating with Quay, but that Quay would not be reconciled. The situation, tieiefore. was that Quay would, without doubt, attempt to control the Pennsylvania delecation against the President: Colonel Dudley will do the. same thing In Indiana; General Clarkson will do his utmost to the same cntt In Iowa. Here in Xew York. Piatt and Miller's fol lowers are withou; doubt strongly opposed to the President's renomination. Mr. Miller hlmelf Is as yet taking no part inthebat tlo, but his friends have not yet recovered from their anffer at the President for refus ing to recognize their Idol after he was beaten for Governor in 18S3. Senator His cock is up to date a Harrison man, and Dr. Depew rather leans that way. Both His cock and Depew have a certain following, but it is not to bo compared to the Republi can armies which are behind Piatt and Miller. The recent visits of Secretary Tracy, Sec retary Foster, Secretary Elkins and Post master General Wanamaker to New 1'oik Citv had other purposes beside social en gagements. Mr. Foster, it was said to-day, as an Ohio politician, was too wise to at tempt to meddle with the management of the Republican party in Xew York State. Mr. Tracy has become entangled in a fierce battle in Brooklyn, but Mr. Wanamaker was here to undertake to appease the antago nists of the President, and Mr. Elkins has the same contract. Elkins 'ot 3Iach Encouraged. The only strong peace man In the little party was Mr. Elkins, and he got very little encouragement. Indeed, the statement was made to-day that the President was now compelled to rely for his boom In New Yoik upon Mr. Elkins and Colonel Elliott F. Shep ard. The critics of the President said he was very willing to accept tho services in 188S of Quay, Dudley, Clarkson, Piatt and Warner Miller, who are all against him now. It was recalled that General Harrison, after his election and Just before his inaugura tion, announced that it would be good Re publican politics not to give so much at tention to efforts to carry New York State. It was said to-day that in view of the; utterances it v, ould be quite useless for Sec retary Elkins to undeitake to patch up a peace: furthermore, that the situation had so changed that not only the Southern States, but also all the silver States, arc op posed to Harrison, while as for Indiana, It was confidently predicted that the Presi dent could not come within 10,000 rotes of carrying his own State now. Altogether, some of the most competent Republican politicians saw in the announce ment that Harrison may possibly withdraw the interesting conclusion that the Presi dent Is fully aware of the forces arrayed against him; that the men selected to bring aDout peace in his favor have thus far utterly failed; that whilo voting Republi cans respect him he has aroused no en thusiasm in their breasts, and, in conclu sion, that he will not thrur himself upon the Minneapolis Convention unless the minds of the party leaders aro changed toward him. ALDEICH HOT OUT OF THE WOODS A Well-Developed Senatorial Boom Ap- pears for Ex-Governor Wetmor. Pbovidexce, R. I. April 11. Special Senator Aldneh's friends aro alarmed over a well-developed boom in favor of ex-Governor Wetmore as a Senatorial candidate. The talk about the ex-Governor and his senatorial ambitions has suddenly become general since the ques tion of the legislative majority has been settled, and the strength and influence or the foiemost friends of Mr. Wetmore have grown ith the campaign. Senator Aldricli and General Drayton, it is known, expected to elect more than SO of the new Legislature. They not only expected to cany the whole Blackstonc Valley, as they did.'bnt their as surance of the entire list of town in the Second Congi essional district was out- ardly manifest. It was the scheme to keep the Democrats down to the smallest minor ity, and belore election day the Kepublicans made no hesitation in saving that not a seat would be occupied by Democrats. juu xiepuuucaus nave a oaro majority elected on the first trills, while tho Demo crats have 29 members, with their chances of more far better than those of the Ee liublicins. With a bare margin of Repub licans elected in the fti3t election by a ma jority vote, the Aldricli men are not reasonably happy, for the simple reason that too many outwaidly ex pressed and openly avowed. Wetmoro men are in the new Legislature and promise to at once become a power at Newport, when the organization and Sena torial election takes place in the earlv days of June. With 30 or raoie Democrats in the Houses, and the number including some of the best known politicians in the whole State, a condition ol affairs could be brought about that might cause some astonishment to the outside world.

Gorman Bowing Graoe fully to the Cleveland Boom Whitney's TTork With Tammany Halt. Washington, April 1L SpeciaW Senator Hill is back, but Washington is apparently unmindful of the fact. Hill's light has grown so dim that nobody here Is attracted by it The way he is neglected by the very men who regarded him in the light of a hero a few weeks ago is almost pathetic. He no longer attracts crowds to the Arlington, and there are several other Senators in the hotel who have just as many friends, if not more, than the New York' Senator. His mail, which was so large a few months ago, -has become greatly re duced In size. Even the employes about the hotel have quit referring to him as the "next President." Hill must reallv hate Washington. When he was at the height of his glory, and came here to reside in the city, he said he did not like this place. Now that he is neglected and only regarded as an ordinary Senator, he must detest it. Hill Not Even a Factor. Tho politicians hardly seem to regard Hill now even as a great factor in the race for President. Many who onoe Insisted that he would surely he nominated now admit they cannot seo any reason for presenting his name to the National Convention. The fact that the Calumet Club, which Is the Tammany Hall of Baltimore, has de clared for Cleveland, has also tended to put a stop to the talk of Gorman for President. Mr. Gorman controls this club, and it would take no action that he would not sanction. It only verifies what was predicted months ago that Arthur P. Gorman would cast his vote In the National Convention for Grover Cleveland, unless there was a chance to nominate Gorman. Mr. Gorman saw that his chance had passed within the last lew dftrL AVhen Senator Hill went to New York this last time, and found it was impossible to get the New York delegation to unite on Gorman, the Maryland Senator saw the best thing to do was to tall into line for Clove land. Gorman Carrying Out His Idea. Mr. Gorman certainly intends to follow the policy indicated last summer, when he was credited with having said that as be tween Hill and Cleveland it was to his best interest to see tho ex-President renomi nated, us in four years Cleveland would have to get out of the way, whereas If Hill got In Gorman would have to wait eight years before being able to think of reaching the White House It is said that Tammany Hall refused to support Gorman when the matter was sug gested to it. The hint thrown out by Con gressman Campbell, in his letter on Satur- day, that the nomination would suiely go to Cleveland or Whitney, is very significant. While Mr. Whitney has all along been loyal to Mr. Cleveland, it has not been until the last ten days, figuratively speaking, that betook ins coat on ana went to woric lor tne ex President's interest. He is now working Just as hard as ex-Senator Falrcbild or ex Mayor Grace, only he is pursuing different methods, he and John D. Crimmins having managed to corral Tammany Hall, as well as Boss McLaughlin. Whitney has prom ised to use his influence in behalf of Tam many next fall and to continue it in case of Cleveland's re-election, provided Tammany would agree to formally withdraw Hill from the race.

At Wilhite station, between Birmingham and Decatur on the Louisville and Nashville road, this morning five negroes broke open a car of a freight train, their purpose evi dently being to steal a ride. Two brake men saw them and attempted to drive them off but were unsuccessful The train ran a short distance aud then stopped at the sta tion, and the men left the car and ran off into the woods. Tho matter was reported to officers at Falkville, and they started out In search of the men. They came up with them at S o'clock and a fight occurred, the negroes opening on the officers with revolvers. One of the negroes fell mortally wounded. Another was cap tured.

Elton Richardson Takes His Own Life in a Most Horrible Manner. Heaping, April H. Special Elton F. Richardson, at one time considered the crack riflo shot of the country at 200 yards, committed suicide in a horrible manner to-day. He was found dead on the kitchen floor of a house owned by him on West street, with a discharged shotgnn lying beside him and a stove pokerln his baud. Ho had pulled the trlggor with the poker. The clothing had caught Are and burned off the uppor portion or the body, making a hor rible spectacle. Three large holes weie burned through the floor, and but for the timely discovery the housewould have been consumed. Both barrels of the shotgun were dis charged through the heart. Death must have been instantaneous, lie had been sick for a long time and did not Improve. Ho felt that be had no friends and that nobody cared for him. He was a member of the Lawrence Rifle Association and formerly of the Massachusetts Rifle Association. He had a wide circlo of acquaintances among rifle men. Alleged Brutality In an Infirmary.

PEOSPECTS OF THE CONTESTS. New Tork and Pittslrare Expected to Give Their Opponents A LIVELY ARGUMENT IT THE OUTSET SPECIAL TELEQKAM TO THE DISPATCH. New Yoek, April 11. A well-informed baseball man sizes up the op'ening of the season as follows: To-morrow the serious business of the baseball season will begin. The opening games ot the first series of the National League championship will be played, and, as the preliminary season ends on July 13, there will doubtless be a scramble from the start. The team that wins the first series is sure of a chance to play for the world's pennant, and the losers in the preliminary season will have to struggle for dear life in the final series. Therefore, it is evi dent that the battle from Btart to finish will be fast and furious. The results of the first games will be watched with great interest. The teams have been so changed, and so much new ma terial added, that estimates as to the strength of the various organizations have been difficult There is only one draw back to the opening, and that is the weather, but doubtless, as a majority of the teams play well South, its effect will not be injurious. New York's Chance at Philadelphia. The New Yorks will make their first grab at the flag In Philadelphia, aud will have as opponents the sturdy team gotten together by Harry Wright. Powers' men will be minus the services of Tiernan, whose wrenched knee will not permit him to play for at least a week. This is unfortunate, but as Fields is a good man in tho out field, and a iiretty striker, the gap is not so serious "as it might be. In all other respects the New Forks are in good shape. Rnsie, who never had more speed than now, will pitch, and Boyle will catch. Ewlng. Bassett, Fuller, Lyons, O'Bourke and Gore are all in torm to play. The Philadelphia-; are in better condition than the New Yorks. and have tho advant age of playing on the home grounds. It is pruu&uie neeie will pucu, unu us no ia smu to be in first-class form the outcome of his efforts to deceive the New York stiokers will be watched with interest. There is good ground for the belief that Philadelphia, in order to win to-morrow's game, will have to hit Kusie hard, and it will be very surprising if the Indiana cyclone does not fool them. The New Yorks may be expected to hit the ball unless they are confronted by some extraordinary pitching. On the whole, the only thine in lavor of the Quakers is the fact that they play on their own grounds. Where the Other Clnbs Open. The Brooklyns will begin at Baltimore, and Judging from the make-up of the teams Ward's men should win. The Brooklyns are in bad shape as to the box, Lovett and Had dock holding off. Hart, Stein and Inks are hardly strong enough to keep opposing bat ters down. The Boston ehampions open at Washing ton, and while the odds are In their favor, they are not unlikely to run against a snag. Pittsburgs will try to win a game from Comisky's team at Cincinnati, and the meet ing should be a lively one. Cleveland plays at Louisville, and the battle should be even and pretty. Uncle Anson will take his glass arm and colts to St. Louis, and the indications aie that the ball giounds there will look like a plowed field when Yon der Ahe's diffident ynun? men get through arguing with tho Windy City boys. Altogether, the opening of the baseball season promises to yield rich entertainment for the cranks. Full scores of all Xeague games will beputt- lished daily in The Dispatch. EX-SOLDIERS INDIGNANT. They Fear Being Left Ont in. tho Allot ment of Lands In Oklahoroa2-The In dbtn Have the Choice of It Boomers Arrive and Depart. Kingfisheb, O. T., April IX The ex soldiers here have been in a condition of intense excitement for several days in con sequence of the persistent repetition of the report that the Secretary of the Interior has sent instructions to the land officers provid ing for but one declaratory statement from each agent and excluding soldiers from the use of the malls In filing declaratones. No such instructions have been sent and they aie not expected, as they would be in direct Violation of law. It has been reported that Governor Seay was opposed to the filing of declaratory statements, but be indignantly denies the charge and says he has always been the friend of his comrades and they will hesi tate long before believing him guilty of op posing Jheir interests. He is in Kingfisher to-day arranging his appointments of county officers for the new counties and will return to Guthrie to-morrow. The allotments still attract comment, and many homeseekers, after examining the maps, vent their indignation in language more emphatic than elegant, and turn their horses' heads toward the country from whence they came. After the wild boom Is over thousands more will be found wending their nay homeward deceived, disgusted and penniless, lor the Indians have the choice lands. But still they come, prairie schooners and vehicles of overy description are hourly ar riving, and tho Rock Island trains are load ed down with constantly renewed additions to the motley throng. Tho projected meet ing of old soldiers has been postponed for a day or two, and some spicy resolutions are expected to result from their conference. A RUSTLER FIGHT. The Stockmen Got the Best or It and Their Opponents Fled. Douglas, Wto., April 11. A telegram from the Sheriff of Johnson county to Sheriff Campbell, of Converse connty, states that a fight has occurred between the stockmen and rnstlers on Powder river, and directs him to arrest fugitives. Under these direc tions the Converse county authorities have guards stationed at all bridges along the Platte north and west of here and at river fords. The mail carrier on tho Southern Division of the mall route between Buffalo and Douglas came in this afternoon but had no mail from Buffalo. He reported having heard of two fugitives at Felterman return ing from the reported battle. Two deputy sheriffs were sent out after the fugitives. The men had stopped at Win. Worner'a house at Felterman. They were mounted on fine horses, newly shod and badly Jaded. They wanted to ex change horses, saying thoy belonged to a big cattle outfit which would pay all damages. Ono of the men was wounded in the arm. Worner refused to give them fresh mounts and they pushed on. The deputy sheriffs followed their trail for several miles south of Wor ner's ranch. A short distance out they found a piece of coarse muslin saturated with blood, which had evidently been rolled Into a plug and inserted In a bullet wound. There was evidences of drops of blood on the ground. Tho fugitives left the road when several miles above Douglas, and their trail was lost. S0LDIEES AND INDIANS RILLED In an Engagement on the Yaqol Kiver That W as a Lively One. PHOiNrx, Aaiz., April 11. Special Yester day the authentic report reached this city that the Mexican soldiers, under Lieutenant Montana, of the First Sonora militia, hod met the renegade Yaqnis, well up the Yaqnl river, and had bad a hard fight with them, In which a number of both sol diers .and Indians were killed. Later the absolnte truth of the report was determined by dispatches to prominent Sonorans in this city. The soldiers, 200 strong, met the Indians in a defile of tho Snnlo Ban cos. There was a large number of the lndians,though Jnst how many could not bo determined. The engagement lasted eight hours, when the Indians dispersed through the mountains, leaving the soldiers masters of the situation. This Is the way the Tauquis fight, and it makes them a formidable adversary. They will rise up in large numbers, and when close pressed every one becomes his own com manderand takes to the hush. They are' urave, too, ana seiaom re i use to ngut mo soldiers when, equal in .numbers. The fight ing forces or Mexicans have sent or rein forcements, when they will pursue the rene gades further into the mountains. THE SENATE-FIRES YOUNG. A. Triumph of Irjpjtlco Over Fairness The rowerfal Committee Pushing the Case Whips Benslble Senators Into Lino Still There's a Leak. Washington, April 11. After three and a half hours spent in executive session behind closed doors, and after a stormy de bate, the Senate to-day yielded to the pow erful pressure brought to bear by the Com mittee on Foreign Belations and vacated the office of Executive Clerk filled for ten years by James E. Young, When the doors were closed a definite 'proposition was taken up. It was to order an investigation of the conduct of Mr. Young, who had been ex cluded from the executive sessions ever since the Bering Sea treaty was laid before the Senate Tnis was defeated after a spir ited contest, in which Mr. Mandersnn freely commented. In terms of bitter sarcasm, upon the course of Senators who were will ing to case an imputation upon an honorable employe without affording him an oppor tunity to vindicate himself from suspicion. Mr. Cameron presented a letter from Mr. Yonng in which the latter, while signifying his willingness to surrender his office at the will of the Senate, in a plain and manly way requested a tbtirough Investigation, stating that if he had betrayed executive secrets, as had been nllcged, he was liable to punish ment under the law, and that he was per- ieet:y ready to aDiae oy ino result. There was much difficulty in getting a quorum, but finally the quorum was secured and the motion looking to an investigation was defeated by a narrow majority. So small Indeed was the majority that the members of tho Foreign Helations Com mittee became alarmed, and under the lead ership of Mr. Sherman, aided by Mr. Hale, thev redoubled their efforts to reap tho fruits of their victory through the adoption of the alternate resolution declairng the office of execntlvo clerk vacant. It was stated to the Senators who betrayed reluctance to Join in the move ment to convict the clerk without Investiga tion, that the Committee on Foreign Rela tions had absolutely satisfied itself or the Justice of the provision. It was said if the Senate decided to maintain the secrecy of executive sessions the number of employes in whom confidence was reposed must be decrcised below the present number, and that secrecy had been maintained since the employes had been excluded. Finally, however, the committee made the matter a personal issue, and implied that the Senate must choose between Its members and Mr. Young, intimating that thev would not participate in executive business if the clerk was not dlsmissod. Under this kind of statement, despite the efforts of Mr. Manderson and others advo cates of a fair investigation, the Junior Sen ators who sympathize with the clerk gradu ally weakened, and fearful of incurring the ill will of the powerful Commltteo on Foreign Relations voted lelnctantly for the resolution vacating the office, which was carried by about ten majority. NOW AFTER PRITTS. A Big Posse of Men on the Trail or the Murderer Thought to Be Located A General Bald on Moonshiners 1T1I1 Be Made. Somerset, Pa., April 11. Special The United States and State authorities have at last united forces and a desperate effort will be made to effect the capture of Pritts, one of the murderers of old Hoch stetler, who is still at large. Albert Miller, General Seigle's youngest son, John H. MillerJ the Justice of the Peace who found Hochstetler's body the morning alter the murder, and Boh Miller's wile were visitors to the county Jail this morning. They nil expressed n great desire to have Trltts captured, and Albert Miller offered to act as guide for a posse who would attempt his arrest. Ho said, however, that ho did not bollevo that Pritts could ever be taken alive. The noon train brought Special Rev enue Officeis Culbertson, Schlosserand Rob inson ro Somerset. They were in consulta tion with the county officials during the af ternoon. They.wbre very close-mouthed as to their business. This evening's train brought Deputy Collector P. A. Johns and ono or two other revenue officers to town. At a late hour to-night it developed that arrangements have been made for a grand midnight raid, andunless the raiding parties' plans miscarry murderer Pritts and 10 or 12 of his fellow moonshiners will be behind the bars OT the countv. jail to-morrow night. At 10 o'clock the rafdlhg party ielt Somerset. There were 21 men in the party, divided into three squads.

BIO M0HEY IK BUGAE-MAKING. Clans Fpreckels' Profits on His Sell-Out to the Trust Just 85,000,000. San Francisco, April lh Special Since Clans Spreckels, the sugar mill'onaire, re turned here there have been many conjec tures as to the real status of the compromise between him and the Sugar Trust. Some of the Trust people declared that the com bine bad brought Spreckels to his milk, while Spreckels' fliends ' assert that he had practically mado his own terms. To-day one of Spreckels' most in timate friends gave new tacts in regard to the lecent dicker between the California king and the trust. He said: "The formation of the trust, about five years ago, was a surprise to Spreckels, but lie was still more surprised when tho trust gave him the option of going in with It or being crushed. The offeuslvo way of bluffing him aroused the old man's wrath, and he defied them to do their worst. While they were laying plans to shut down the refin eries here ho went to Philadelphia, built a $3 000,000 refinery nnd opened an active fight in their own camp. They stood the competition until this winter when they became weary of the struggle and agreed to Spreckels' terms, $3,000,000 for his Philadelphia refinery and liberty to control the sugar interests of the coast, so Spreckels came back with his $5,000,000 in profits ready to meet the Hawaiian planters and secure control of all the sugar crop of the islands. Sprockets cave $1,000,003 each to his three children. The old man is worth fully $20,000,000, all made In sugar."

MANY PEOPLE DROWNED And Thousands of Dollars' Worth of Prop arty Destroyed Besalts or the Recent Big Cobumbas Flood Hundreds ot People Homeless, Columbus, Miss.", April 11 Special The last few days have been themost distress ing this section has ever experienced. Wed nesday the Tombigbee river, already full, tegan rising rapidly. By Thursday all the low lands were submerged, the river having risen 14 feet that night. It continued to rise all that dav, and by Friday morning it was seven feet higher than ever known before. Black and Luxappalila creeks Joined tbelr waters with BIgbee, nnd Columbus was lit erally an island with five miles of water la each direction. There has been great loss of life and an immense amount or property destroyed. Fourteen negroes were drowned within a few miles or this place. A low estimate puts the loss at 50 in this connty. Up to this time no whites have been reported drowned. The flood has carried destruction in all sections. Hundreds of homes have been swept away, miles of fences destroyed and the loss of mules and cattle is fearful. The river and creeks rose so rapidly that a great number of people were aroused from their slumber by the rush of water through their houses and could save nothing of tbelr household effects. As soon as the extent of the flood was known In the city, tho authorities .had a great number of boats made and rescuing parties began their labors of mercy. Hundreds were saved and brought to this city and are now being cared for by the citizens. There are no less than 600 negroes here now being sheltered and fed by the city and county Jointly. The loss has been so great and the want so extended that the mayor of the city and the President of the Boaid of Supervisors have telegraphed to Hon.
