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.

HILL'S POLITICAL SUNSET.
The I.lgbt That Failed Snuffed Out by Be- t
cent Event! 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.

BlKMINGHAM, AXA., April 11. At
Wilhite station, between Birmingham and
Decatur on the Louisville and Nashville

dently being to steal a ride. Two brake
men saw them and attempted to drive them

FEAST FOR TEE FANS.
Opening of the Baseball Season To
. Day Despite the Weather.
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. Agent Culbertson had com
mand of one sqnAd, Agent 8chlosser of
another and Sheriff Good of thethiid. Tne
men were all welt mounted and well armed.
The plan is to capture Pritts, who the reve
nue 'officers have definitely located, and
hand him over to Sheriff Gocd. The revenue
officers will then continue the raid against
the moonshiners.
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

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. John Allen, Congress
man from this district, asking him to appeal
to the Federal Government for aid.
