FOPBJT IH II, Sherman, Poster and the Ad ministration Get Even With Fire Alarm FOE HIS EECE1STT TICTOBY. The Ex-Governor May Uot Even Be Allowed to Be a Delegate TO THE MINNEAPOLIS MEETING. i Keir Ohio Big Four Eisej From the Winter's Tribulations. POLITICAL NEWS OP SEVERAL STATES SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Columbus, O., April 25. The results of tbe Republican primaries in Ohio on Satur day and to-day show that the Sherman wing of the party has elected nearly all the dele gates to the State Convention except in Cincinnati and Cleveland. This is a sur prise for the Forakerites, who, flushed with capturing the organization of the convention by the State Central Committee in this city a. few weeks ago, were loud in their talk of what they intended to do. All is changed now, and the more stalwart of the Sherman crowd say it is very doubtful if even one of the four delegates at large to be elected at Cleveland Thursday will be a Foraker man. It was originally intended that two of the four delegates at large would be Governor McKinley and ex-Governor Foraker, but now that the power is in the hands of the Shennanites, Fire Alarm is to be punished for the unpardonable sm of having run atriinst Sherman for United StateB Senator last winter. A Now B!c Four for Ohio. The Foraker slate was the ex-Governor, Colonel A. L. Conger, member of the National Republican Committee from Ohio, Auditor of State Poe, and, if he behaved like a good little boy, McKinley. On the other hand, the friends of the Mansfield statesman insist that the following shall be the elect who shall pose as the adminis tration "bit: four," who have come up out of great tribulation in this winter's fight with the world, the flesh and the Foraker: Governor McKinley, of Canton, Mark A. Hanna, of Cleveland, John Sherman and "William M. Hahn, of Mansfield. Conger and Poe want to go from Ohio to the National Convention. "Will they do so? Why, no! Lord, no! Secretary of the Treasury Foster is work ing like a beaver to have the delegates in structed to vote for the renomination of President Harrison, but while the adminis tration maybe indorsed, this may not be done. Governor McKinley will not go to Cleveland before Wednesday. The TVnr Keally on at Toledo. The Republicans of the Xinth Ohio Con gressional district (Toledo) to-day elected "W. H. Tucker and J. B. Wilson as dele gates to Minneapolis, audit D. Sargent and G. B. Spencer alternates. All are Harrison men, and were instructed for the President. The sentiment was decidedly for an anti administration man, but the Federal office holders so manipulated things as to carry the day. A bitter factional war, which will certainly result in Democratic votes, is now on. During tbe County Convention Post master Brown became very angry, calling his opponents -unprintable, names. Affida vits were made to-day callin? the attention of the Civil Service .Commission to his con duct, and a petition asking his removal was numerously signed. The Republican County Convention held at ZanesviUe to nominate delegates to the State Convention was a very exciting one. A committee consisting of one from each voting precinct chose a slate. The fun com menced when C TJ. Shryock, editor of the Sunday Noes, submitted a minority report, denouncing the action of the committee, and charging certain members with having packed the same, and with having cir culated tickets with the above names upon them. A red-hot time followed, the speakers on both sides being greeted with cheers and hisses. The report of the com mittee was, however, adopted by a vote of 2 to 1. The delegation is a solid Sherman one, but the secret of the contest lies in an effort to name E. D. Martin, of Noble connty, as State Central Committeeman for the district. Wh.it ForaUer's Fight Sloans. A special to The Dispatch from Wash ington says: The big fight against Harrison at present is in Ohio. The opposition of Foraker means more than it appears to, and some of the biggest men in the Republican party who "ar generally supposed to be friends of Harrison are backing Foraker in his fight against Secretary Foster for the possession of delegates. "When the work in the Buckeye State is done, the anti-Harrison men will go to work in earnest. They do not intend to go to Minneapolis with a cut-and-dried candidate. That is not their politics. They mean to have a perfect un derstanding among themselves, however, and to work in harmony hen the conven tion ground is reached. They were never so hopeful of defeating Harrison as they are to-day. FAEMEE TAGOAET OK CAKEEON. Be Won't Exactly Admit That the Senator Knocked 111m Oat. HAEKISBUBG, April 25. Special Representative Taggart, of Montgomery, whose fight in the State Republican Con vention last week for Congressman at large won him many new admirers throughout the State, accepts his defeat with good grace. Mr. Taggart was in Harrisburg to-day, on bis way to Mechanicsburg. Mr. Taggart is uncertain as to his political future. Ho positively asserts that he will not be a candidate for Congress in the Berks-Montgomery district, and has not yet decided whether to ask of his constituents another term in the House. "I am satisfied witb tbe result of the con vention," said Mr. Taggart. "General Iiilly is said to be a very fair man, and I have no doubt Major McDowell is equally as good. I shall certainly support the ticket. Is Senator Cameron responsible for mv defeat? He is charged with it But that's all right He has good cause to be against me. I openly opposed his re-election to tbe Un itcd States Senate. I have no fault to find with anyone." Spirited Contest at PottsTllle. Pottsville, April 25. The Republican Connty Committee assembled here to-day for the purpose of electing a County Chair man. The contest was a spirited one be tween Elias Davis, W, J. Whitehouse and J. T. Shoener. On the third ballot Davis was elected by 81 votes over Shoener, who received 63. Davis was a member of the last Legislature, and Shoener was a candi date for Congress at the last election.

The Thirty-, District Republican Congressional ition, held at' Tonawanda to-day, Conventio elected delegates to the National Conven tion. Resolutions were adopted approving President Harrison and Secretary Blaine. The delegates were not instructed. ONE OF ETJES HAEEISOH'S FBUNDS Selected as a Delegate to Minneapolis From Albany. - AiBAjnr, N. Y., April 25. Special The Republicans of the Nineteenth Con gressional dlstWot, -embracing Albany county, met to-day to elect two delegates and two alternates 'to the National Con vention at Minneapolis. It required two conventions to decide who should go. The regular conventibn was cap tured bv the Harrison men, and despite the protests of 22 anti-administration delegates, John A. Sleicber, the pres ent non-resident editor of the Mail and Ex. press and ally of Prince Russell Harrison, and Thomas Austin were elected delegates to the Minneapolis Convention. The bolters, headed by James Wellington Bent ley, a stanch Tom" Piatt man, held a second convention and nominated E. A. Durant, Jr., and James O. Woodward as anti Harrison delegates. The regular convention adopted a reso lution which indorsed the Harrison adminis tration as "pure and patriotic," but tacked a Blaine rider on it, which congratulated him on "his advancement of the well-established Republican policy of reciprocity and protection." No open instructions "were given to the delegates, but both delegations are understood to be ready to join in an uproar for the Plumed Knight should it turn out that he has ordered his letter of declination to be burned. ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS GATHERING In Readiness for thn Convention at Sprlnc flold To-Morrow. SrKlNGFiELD, III., April 25. Delegates to Wednesday's Democratic State Conven tion are already assembling in this city in large numbers. It is generally conceded to-night that John P. Altgeld, of Chicago, will be nominated for Governor on the first ballot, as his only actual competitor, John C. Black, ex-Commissioner ot Pensions, does not seem to be making any appreciable headway. There is every indication of a lively contest over the Presidental question. United State! Senator Palmer has an unquestioned majority of the State delegates uninstructed for his support, but there is a strong move ment among certain Southern Illinois dele gates against any instruction whatever of delegates to the National Convention. There seems to be little doubt of the spirit of the delegates to give Palmer cor dial indorsement, the only question being whether the delegates will be positively in structed to vote for him in the National Convention. Palmer himself Tias distinctly stated he will be satisfied with a general in dorsement, the delegates being merely in structed to vote as a unit at the Chicago Convention for whoever they may deem the most available candidate.

Special After some friction on the apportionment bill it was finally agreed on, late this even ing, but notin time to present to the extraor dinary session ot the Legislature at its first meeting at 8:30. To get the support of the majority of both Houses, alterations in tbe original draft ot the bill not strictly war ranted by the arithmetical ratios of the enumeration had to be made. It was the New York, Brooklyn, Buffalo and Troy Democrats on ono side, and the rural Dem ocrats on the other.

The Wealthy Senator Wouldn't Consider a Third Party Nomination. Washington, April 25. Senator Teller was kept busy to-day denying the statement that he is interested in a third party move ment, the basis of which will be the Farm ers' Alliance, and asserting that he has no Fresidental aspirations. The article which caused the Senator so much annoyance ap peared in a number of papers, and reported that he favored a party which would adopt free coinage ot silver as its platform, and would seek votes from theDeuiocraticand Republican parties alike. "There is absolutely no truth in the state ment," said Senator Teller. 'It is true that Senators and members of the House in terested in silver have held a conference here, but it had no object other than the formation of a bi-metallic order to secure a wider interest in silver. It had no political bearing in any way, and I am sure that those persons who were concerned in the conference would not countenance the severing of party ties." Another Failure to Elect In Frovldenoe. Peoyidence, R. L, April 25. A third attempt to complete the city's representa tion in the Legislature proved futile to-day, and another trial will take place in ten days. The vote was light, beincr 1,500 less than the second attempt. Nine Repre sentatives are yet to be chosen. Each trial costs the city about 53,000. CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT HIS BBUlE.

TAW jL Y 1L UlLll V lUiJi IMS. If And Violations of It by Some Balti more Postoffice People. MR. WANAMAKER ON THE STAND Admits His Ignorance of the Statutes on the Subject, and Is INCLINED TO BE BATHER SARCASTIC Washington, April 25. The House Committee on Reform in the Civil Service to-day began its investigation into the alle gations that the civil service law has been violated by the Federal officials at Balti more. The resolution under which the committee is proceeding recites in the pre amble that Theodore Roosevelt, Civil Service Commissioner, in May 1891, re ported to the Civil Service Commission that a number of Federal office holders in Baltimore took an active part in the pri mary election there,raised-and spent money for political expenscs,and, as they admitted, violated the United States civil service statutes, the punisnment for which is dis missal from office and imprisonment; that the commission, upon Roosevelt's findings, recommended to the President the dismissal of the guilty officials, and that the Civil Service Reform Association, of Baltimore, called attention to the fact that no official action has been taken in consequence. Therefore the committee is directed to ascertain whether any or all of the guilty officials are still in office, and whether they have been indicted or prosecuted. Post master General Wanamaker was the first witness. Purpose of the Investigation. Chairman Andrews briefly reviewed the purpose of the investigation, stating that 21 ot the employes found to have violated the law were in tho Baltimore postoffice. He asked whether any of these persons were still in office or had been indicted. The Postmaster General replied that the persons were all in the emplov of the Gov ernment, and none had been indicted. The witness said the postmaster at Baltimore had asserted that injustice had been done the employes in Mr. Roosevelt's report, and witness thereupon ordered an investigation by the Postoffice Inspectors, who reported: "It is our opinion that the facts do not jus tify the dismissal of the 21 employes, or any of them, for violating the civil service laws, as charged. " The employes in the case, said the wit ness, were poor men, soldiers, and sons of soldiers, and the amount of their contribu tions was not much larger than the sum that would be required to pay for printing the report of the Civil Service Commission. Mr. Boatner, a member of the committee, asked if there was any law authorizing the investigation by the inspectors. Mr. Wanamtikcr's Ignorance or Lairs. The Postmaster General was unable to point to any such law, but explained the precedents and the functions of the inspec tors. In this case, Postmaster Johnson had been reprimanded. Mr. Andrews wished to Know why the postmaster had been reprimanded. The witness replied: "For allowing his men to be in the position of making state ments that could be excepted to. If these men gave an impression to the Civil Service Commissioners that could not be verified under oath, that makes trouble for, the com missioners." To Mr. Boatner, the Postmaster General said that if tho men were engaged in assess ing eaoh other, or in coercing votes, these actions were certainly violations of the law, but the men denied that thev bad done so. Mr. Boatner asked of what use was the Civil Service Commission if the heads ot departments had authority to go behind the commission's reports and direct investiga tions on their own account Inclined to Be Sarcastic The Postmaster General replied that this was the first intimation given to him that the Civil Service Commission or any other had control of the departments, independent of its head, and could step in and order dis missals of its own sweet will. Mr. Andrews asked the Postmaster Gen eral if any employe who made one state ment in April and another at a subsequent time, contradicting absolutely his former statements, ought to be retained in office. Mr. Wanamaker said he did not think that any untruthful persons ought to be employed, bat he called attention to the fact that 19 of the men contended that they did not say the words attributed to them. He would not keep any dishonest person in his employ, but he referred to the fact that a man might say that he had done some thing and had told another person, through fear, that he had not There were two men of the 21 he had not forgiven, but none ot the men were held for a violation of the civil service law. Mr. Wanamaker admitted that he had not read all of the inspector's report YELLOW FEVER VICTIMS By the Score Iteported Every Day at Rio Janeiro Sometimes ISO In a Day Other Diseases Swell the Total Tho Epldemio In Other Cities. Rio de Janeiko, April 25. The ques tions which apparently gives the Govern ment most concern at present are those of public health and the increased cost of liv ing. The mortality caused by yellow fever, the growth of which had been checked by heavy rains, is again increasing, and as is usually the case when yellow fever prevails here, there are at the same time many death' from other fever.'. On the 13th there were in this city, according to official statistics, 145 deaths, the largest nnmber that has been reported for one day this year. Of these 56 were caused by yellow feyer. 26 by other fevers, and a number by a violent disease, the action of which was exceedingly rapid, sometimes causing those attacked by it to drop dead in the streets. On the 16th 63 deaths from yellow fever were officially reported, but the number of deaths from all causes was not as great on that day as it was on the 18th. It is gen erally asserted that there are many more deaths than those officially reported, and it has even been said that the average number from yellow fever alone was 150 a day, but this is regarded as an exaggeration. The epidemic has extended from this city and Santos to the interior of the States of Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Minas Geraes. Some of the small towns have been almost entirely abandoned by their in habitants. ColS Comfort for Murderer Keclc Philadelphia, April 25.

DISPATCH, TUESDAY, A FUND FOR COLONEL 0LC0TT Bailed by the Theosophbta Yesterday at Chicago The CommlttM Elected for the Enintns Year Ea Wheeler "Wilcox Elected a Councillor. Chicago, April 25. About 100 mem bers of the American section of the Theo sophical Society were present at to-day' session of the annual convention. The gen eral secretary was instructed to devise mean's of consolidating the work of the Oriental department, and the services of Prof. Drivedi were dispensed with. It was decided to request every member of the or ganization to contribute $10 toward a fund for Colonel Olcott, the retiring president The following committee wis appointed for the coming year: E. A. Heresheimer, New York; Alexander Fullerton, New York; A. H. Spencer, New York; Elliot B. Page, St Louis; E. B. Rambo, San Francisco; Dr. A. P. Buchman, Fort Wayne, Ind.; William Q. Judge, New York. Mr. Heresheimer was elected Treasurer, and William Q. Judge was re-electe General .Secretary. Among the 24 councillors elected was Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Secretary Judge explained why Mahat mas were usually found in the Himalayas. As there is no inaccessible place in Amer ica where Mabatmas might exist, every newspaper man in the United States would find them out and interview them and choke out of them the secrets they have. Do you think Mahatmas could live in Chicago, in New York? No; they would be asked to advertise. There is no reverence in the American people. Mahatmas could not exist here. That is why they are found in the utmost fastnesses ot the Himalayas. The remainder of the day and evening was occupied in the reading and discussion of papers on theosophical subjects. STEAL BLAINE'S THUNDER. Canadians Propose Reciprocity With Eng landNo Hope for a Treaty With the United States America Said to Have an Unfriendly Spirit. Ottawa, April 25. In the House of Commons to-day, Member McNeill moved a resolution to the effect that if tbe Parlia ment of Great Britain and Ireland admits Canadian products to markets of the United Kingdom upon more favorable terms than it accords to the products of foreign counties, the Parliament of Canada be prepared to accord corresponding advantages by a re duction in the duties it imposes on British manufactured goods. He spoke at great length in support of his motion, producing voluminous arguments in support of the success of the English policy of free trade. He quoted the Hon. Oliver Mowat, Premier of Ontario, when he said that proof of the nnfriendly spirit entertained by the American Republic was shown in their schools, their Fourth of July speeches and diplomatic dispatches. Member Hazen followed, advocating the motion, saving that Canada would reap great benefit it she could send her goods at a tnper cent advantage into Great Britain and admit British goods at a'similar advan tage. Statesmen of free trade tendencies should endeavor tosecure preferential duties. At present it seemed useless to hope for a reciprocity treaty with the United States as it was evident that such a treaty could only be obtained by giving American pro ducts an advantage over the manu factures and products of Great Britain. CHEMISTEY OF GRASSHOPPERS. The Insect Furnishes Good Formic Acid and Considerable Copper. Some very important uses for grasshop pers have recently been discovered. There would seem to be no reasou why they should not be applied to commercial advantage in the event of a plague this year. Not long ago four quarts of liquid, expressed from half a bushel of "hoppers" under a cheese press, were shipped in a glass jar from Spirit Lake. la., to Prof. William K. Ked zie, of the Kansas State Agricultural Col lege. He made a complete analysis, and by distilling the juice with sulphuric acid, ob tained a colorless, limpid solution of formio acid. Now, this acid is very valuable,having a present market quotation of 60 cents an ounce. It is not only employed in medicine to a considerable extent, but is also utilized in the laboratory to reduce salts of the noble metals, gold, silver and platinum. Hitherto it has always been ex tracted from red ants, but the possibility of getting it in large quantities from grasshop pers suggests a method tor employing those insects to an unlooked for advantage. An interesting feature of the analysis was the discovery of a certain amount of copper in the liquid. This metal has been found in the blood of other animals, par ticularly in that of the horseshoe crab, which always furnishes a trace of it It is not suggested, however, that grasshoppers would asay a sufficient amount of copper to make it worth while to smelt them. CUT HEK THROAT WITH A RAZOR. A Mother Sulcldei in the Presence of Her 10-Year-Old Son. Reading, April 25. Mrs. JohnMeterko died at St. Joseph's Hospital to-day, the result of having slashed her throat with a razor yesterday afternoon. The woman had been a great sufferer during the past ten weeks, as a result of a strain re ceived from lifting too heavily, and was con fined to her bed. Yesterday afternoon she se cured a carving knife, with which she at tempted to cut her throat, but as the knife was dull, only succeeded in scratching the skin. Calling her 10-year-old son into the room she requested him to bring her his father's razor. The boy complied, when no sooner had she the razor in her hand than she opened it, and with one slash cut her throat from ear to car. The son, horrified at the sight, ran from the house and informed the neigh bors. The woman was soon afterward taken to the hospital, where she became very violent, tearing the bandages from her throat, and it was with great difficulty that she was quieted. She grew weaker until she expired. BOARDS OF TRADE To Be Organized In Bnssla to Assist In Pre venting Famines. St. Peteksbtjeg, April 25. The Amer ican Consul here says that the Russian Gov ernment intends to establish boards of trade in every province of thie country under the direction of paid officials. These boards are to be constituted on a system similar to that whjch has been adopted in the United States. The organizations will gather and disseminate all available information in re gard to crops, approaches of storms, atmos pheric phenomena, etc It is hoped that they will assist in pre venting famines in Russia in future by giv ing timely warning when the danger of such a state of affairs is apparent to the authorities and the farming population, which will thus enable them to take meas ures of precaution accordingly and provide against a dearth ot provisions. A Bath Without Water. In foreign countries people sometimes bathe in sand. A big bath is filled with it, and it is made as warm as it can be without burning the skin. When it is the right heat the bather steps into the bath and an attendant buries him in the sand in such a way that be is qilite covered without having too heavy a weicht on any part ot him.

CHARGED WITH VAGRANCY. Holmea Anderson Picked Up by the South. Ida Polloo Xltstimmons Friend De fends Himself, and Declares He Is Hot a loafer Ha Uvea With His Sister. Recpllections of the famous Fitzsimmons case were revived on the Southsido last night Holmes Anderson, through whose correspondence with Fitzsimmons, the latter was captured, was arrested at the Lake Erie depot, and locked up in the Twenty-eighth ward station house, on a charge of vagrancy. He is charged with loitering around the de pot at various times and begging nickels and dimes. Anderson was interviewed in the station house last night He said he had not been doing anything out of the way. He said that one night last week he came in from West Liberty borough, where he is living with a sister, and, in company with Alder man King, had a few drinks of whisky. He admitted that while he was under the influ ence of liquor he might have begged some money, but he was sober la3t night and came down the incline from Beltzhoover borough to meet his brother-in-law, and as soon as he arrived at tbe Lake Erie depot he was arrested. His connection with the Gunsaulis mur der and subsequent connection with the Fitzsimmons affair, are still fresh in the minds of the people. He was indicted for the murder of young Gunsaulis, -an Alle ghenian, whose body was found near West Liberty borough one morning, but there was no evidence against him and the case was nolle prossed. It was while he and Fitzsimmons were in jail together that they became fast friends, and after the latter escaped he wrote letters to Anderson ask ing him to meet him in New Orleans. Anderson tried to conceal the correspond ence, bnt he was not sharp enough for Warden McAleese, who discovered two letters the morning Anderson was re leased. Anderson is a riverman, but he says he has not been working lately. He has been living with a married sister. He still man ages to dress well, and has a rather intelli gent appearance. AT LATIMER'S.
