Denvee, Coi., April 27. Notwithstand
ing the claims of his many admirers Presi
dent Harrison is anything bnt a favorite
among Colorado Republicans, as was
evinced here to-day, when the State Repub
lican Convention selected as delegates to the
Minneapolis convention three of the Presi
dent's bitterest enemies. For months past
United States Senators Teller and Wolcott
have done everything in their power to
turn their constituents from the present
administration. Letters have been written
by the score and the nomination of Secre
tary Blaine advocated.
This fight against the President was
caused through the appointment or N. P.
Hall as a member of the International
Monetary Commission. This gentleman is
reported to have said that should President
Harrison seenre the Colorado delegation at
Minneapolis ho (Hnll) would be made a
member of the Harrison Cabinet in case of
the President's re-election.
"With the aid of his paper ex-Senator
Hall has done everything in his power to
capture to-dav's convention. In this he
was assisted by "William H. Griffith, pub
lisher of the Colorado Sun, who is opposed
to Senator Wolcott.

The fieht was a most bitter one. "Wol
cott's and Teller's interests were looked
after by Isaac K. Stevens, who in all prob
ability will be Colorado's next member
in the National House of Representatives.
From the first it became apparent that Har
rison could claim no recognition at the
hands of Colorado Republicans, and as a
result to-dav's convention selected as dele

will fight Harrison and push the nomina

A QUARREL IN NEW JERSEY.
The Entire State Committee Forced to Be-h-n
Too Many Defeat- Under Its
Iend-rjhip Tha Committee Indorses,
bnt Doesn't Instruct for Harrison.
Trenton, N. J., April 27. Special
There was lively quarreling among the Re
publicans who held their State Convention
in Taylor Opera House to-day to appoint
delegates to the National Republican Con
vention. On the surface there was a brave
and cheerful show of harmony and enthusi
asm, but beneath it, and yet in plain view
of everybody, was a scene of ill-feeling and
disorder, and the feeling developed was so
intensely bitter that instead of going into
the campaign "shoulder to shoulder," to
die in a gallant political fight, they are
going to the battle, unless the ugly mani
festations made to-day shall prove ephem
eral, handicapped so greatly that even a
vigorous campaign will oe impossible.
Just as the theater was ringing with
cheers for Peter F. Wanser, the members of
the State Executive, Committee tendered
their resignation in m body not because
they wanted to, as it was made to appear,
but because they were forced to by the rank
and file of the party who for years have
been led to disaster by them. The whole
sale resignation of the committee was ac
cepted on the instant, and later, when ex
Senator Griggs and others spoke in their
defense, it was made clear that they were
terribly disgruntled, and intended to do
less for the party than they were willing
or able to do in the past
This was not the only feature of the con
vention that was disturbing in its character.
Other things occurred to give the lie to the
placid appearance ot the proceedings, ana
which must stir up strife among the Re
publicans in every part ot the State. A new
State Committee was formed, and Essex and
Hudson counties were given two members
each, while the other counties were accorded
only one member each.
The delegates at large to the Minneapolis
Conventic were fixed upon by the bosses
months ago, and although half a dozen at
tempts were mc.de to break the slate it was
not even scratched, and the failure to
smash or dariage it in any way added to the
general disgust of the convention. The
delegates at large are General "William J.
Sewell, John Z Blair, G. A. Hobart and
George A. Halsey.
The platform was adopted without
trouble. It indorses the Harrison adminis
tration, reaffirms the Republican polioy
touching national issues, and "pitches into'
the Democracy of New Jersey on general
principles. The convention came to a close
with a humorous speech by Congressman
Horr, of Michigan.

Though Maine Republicans Think He Is a
Mighty Good President.
Bangor, Me., April 27. The Republi
can State Convention to-day adopted the
following platform:
The Republicans or Maine assembled in
State convention look with gratification
upon the many ovldences In all parts of the
country that the popular strength of the
party at the approach of the Impending
campaign is increasing. They pledge
anew their faith in the great principles to
which the party is oommitted: the protec
tion of American labor. Joined with its ally
and handmaiden, reciprocity: a sound cur
rency for the people: tne political rights of
all citizens; the purity of tho ballot, and a
wise and prudent administration of general
government Tnev look with pride upon
the record of the distinguished representa
tives of tho party in Congress, and are glad
to here express their continued loyalty and
devotion to that great statesman and leader,
the Secretary of State, Hon.James G.Blaine.
They congratulate the country and the Re
publican party on a vindication by
the highest court in the land of the
principles of tho majority rule so well
enunciated and so ably and courageously
maintained by Elaine's honored son, the
bpeaker or the last Ilnnse or Representa
tives. Hon. Thomas B. Reed. Thev recosr-
nizo the marked success of the present ad
ministration: its wise conduct ot affairs in
all the departments at home, and its marked
triumphs in the diplomatic complications
which have arisen between tho United
States and other nations, the record of
which establishes their confidence in Presi
dent Harrison, and they believe that the
best interests of the party and of the coun
try will oe served by his renomination and
re-election. ,
General Thomas "W. Hyde, of Bath, and
Hon. W. M Nosh, of Cherryviile, were
chosen Presidental electors, and delegates
at large were chosen in the order named be
low: Edmund B. Mallet, Charles E. Little
field, Edmund J. Webb and John L. Cut
ter. Immediately after the resolutions were
adopted Delegate Cutter asked it the last
resolution was intended for instructions to
delegates, and ex-Governor Davis replied
that it was not, and upon this understand
ing they were unanimously adopted.
London, April 27. In the House of
Commons to-day Sir Albert Kaye Rollit
moved the seoond reading of his women's
suffrage bill. He declared that, although
much had been said derogatory to women
exercising the franchise in Wyoming,
where they had the right to vote, he had
official documents showing that such exer
cise of the franchise was beneficial in that
State.
Samuel Smith (Liberal) moved the re
jection of the bill. He urged that female
suffrage was introduced in Wyoming by ac
cident. Educated Americans, he said, were
opposed to giving the franchise to women.
The only forces that would benefit by the
passage of the bill would be clericalism and
socialism.
Mr. Balfour favored the bill. He said
he did not agree with those who held that it
would be degrading for women to take part
in politics. There were other women's
associations, including the Women's
Liberal Federation.
Here Walter a McLaren (Radical) in
terrupted Mr. Balfour, saying, "Of which
Mr. Gladstone is President"
Mr. Balfonr said he did not wish to enter
into a personal question, but, at any rate,
every section of the House is only too glad
to avail themselves of- women. It did not
lie in any of their mouths to say that taking
an active part in framing the policy of the
Empire wonid be degrading to women.
A most surprising feature of the debate
was the attitude of the Liberals, whose pro
gramme inoludes a great extension of the
franchise. Mr. Gladstone did not speak at
all, though from his recent letter it is
known that he is opposed to granting the
franchise to women. A division was taken
on Sir Albert Rollit's motion, and it was
defeated, the vote standing 175 to 152.
The ladies' gallery of the House of Com
mons was packed, among the occupants be
ing Mrs. Gladstone, Lady Harcourt, Lady
Henry Somerset and Mrs. Pawcett The
emallnessof the majority against the motion
caused surprise, as many had expected that
it would be rejected by a vote of two to one.
cannot be persuaded to submit to
a reduction of from 20 to 40 per cent of the
appropriations for their respeotive States, as
recommended In tho bill. Such propositions
are not meeting with favor, for those mem
bers who have succeeded in getting a good
big slice of the appropriations are not dis
posed to yield any portion of it
The arguments ottered in" support of the
proposed reductions are that it the bill is
too large it may fail altogether. In other
words. Senators insist on having their share
of the "pork," and they fear that if they
add their amendments to the already large
bill, it will go way beyond the river and
harbor bill of the "billion-dollar" Congress.
JUEYHE5 BEAHDED AS C0WAED3
By an Excited Parisian Slob, for Their
Leniency on the Anarchists.
Paeis, April 27. The conciliatory tone
of Judge Goes, who presided at the trial of
the Anarchists, is severely condemned. It
is suggested that the jury took their cue
from the Judge. A majority of the people
in the corridors of the Palace of Justice
were amazed when they heard of the verdict,
and many of them became indignant
As some of the jurymen passed the excited
groups, they were greeted with angry cries
of "cowards."
The police to-day arrested 25 Anarchists
at Roubaix, a large manufacturing town in
the Department du Nord. Two Anarchists
named La Peyre and Francois have been
arrested in this city. Francois is suspected
of being concerned in the explosion at the
cafe ot M Very.

Fought A New Sheriff Turns the
Tables, but Gallows Are Cheated.
Syracuse, N. Y., April 27. Special
Joseph Kief, who was once convicted of
murder in the first degree, was set at lib
erty to-day on his own recognizance. He was
charged with being the accomplice of Carrie
C. Howard in poisoning her husband.
Kief was a farm hand in the employ of
Howard. Mrs. Howard was tried in 1886
and acquitted. Judge Martin was sur
prised, and said in discharging the prisoner:
"The juJy has found you not guilty, but as
a matter of fact, I would suggest that you
don't do it again."
Kiel's first trial was concluded in Octo
ber, 1886. He was found guilty of murder
in the first degree and sentenced to be
hanged on November 26. 1886. From then
to the present time Kief has been an inmate
of the Morrissville jail. The General Term
reversed the judgment of conviction of the
lower courts. From this decision the Dis
trict Attorney appealed. The decision
affirmed that of the General Term. The
case was called in Over and Terminer again
on Monday. An extra panel of 100 jurors
was drawn, but it was found to be impossi
ble to get an unbiased jury. A motion by
the defendant's counsel for a change of
venue to Chenango county was granted.
The case, if it ever comes totrial, will come
before the October Oyer and Terminer nt
Norwich. The jurors all said that he ought
not be punished because "Carrie Howard
wasn't"
Kief's eight years in jail have not been
irksome. For a large part of the time he
naa me uoeny oi ma puono ouuiuugs uuu
has lived on the fat of the land. He has
played croquet and lawn tennis in a striped
blazer on the green in front of the jail, and
he has whiled away his idle hours by paint
ing and decorating the court house. He
has drank wine and smoked good cigars pro
vided by admiring friends. He has had
visitors to see him and has been mixed up in
a scandal. This free and easy life occurred
mainly under the administration of Sheriff
Leander Burroughs, who was removed for
malfeasance in office.
When Sheriff Remick was elected and
qualified, Kief, who was carrying the keys
of the jail, approached him and said: "I
don't suppose we'll have any trouble, Sher
iff." "Not if I know it. you won't. You'll be
on one side of the cell door and I on the
other, and I shall be on the outside," said
the Sheriff, and he has kept his word. It is
extremely improbable the case will ever be
tried or, if tried, that a conviction will be
secured.

CAMDEN NOT A CANDIDATE,
An Administration Victory in the First Day
of the Convention.
St. Loots, April 27. Special' The
Missouri Republican Convention opened at
Jefferson City to-day. Chauncey L Filley,
who has been for so many years the boss of
the "hoodlum" element of the party, was
knocked out ny the "regulars," and under a
ruling of the Committee on Credentials,
was not even allowed to hold a seat in the
convention. He held a proxy from a St
Louis ward in which he did not re
side. Filley, however, as chairman
of the State Committee, called the
convention to order, and in his ad
dress eulogized the Harrison administration.
He has all along been one of President
Harrison's bitterest enemies. William
Warner, Filley's leading antagonist was
elected a delegate-at-large by an almost
unanimous vote. Filley, however, got in
as a delegate-at-large bv a scratch. R. C
Kerens, another anti-Filley man, was also
elected a delegate to Chicago. Colonel A.
C, Dawes was chosen as the fourth delegate-at-large.
The district delegates were then
chosen.
The point of greatest interest of the day
then arose on the election of a chairman ot
the State Central Committee. The result
proved a complete knockout for Chauncey
L Filley, the choice falling on Bothwell, o'f
Sedalia, a bitter opponent of the big boss.
The convention then adjourned till to-morrow.
The Kongo May Get Into Trouble.
Brussels, April 27. An article in the

of the anti-slavery conference decision, has
ordered 20,000 repeated rifles, which will be
bartered with the natives for ivory. The
paper further charges that certain officials
are allowed a commission of 10 per cent

parliamentary action bo taken to expose the
transactions of the Kongo officials.
Italian Socialists Disorderly.
Rome, April 27. A dispatch from Reg

the nolice were compelled to disperse them.
A slight resistance was made, but the mob
soon scattered. Five of the leaders were
arrested.

finished her maiden voyage to this port from
London to-day. Her time was 11 days.
She is the second twin-screw freighter of
the Atlantio Transport Line launched this

freight, being fitted with ventilating ap
paratus that keeps the cargo'in icy coolness.
They run directly to London, enabling the
luxurious citizens of that town to . eat
American strawberries, tomatoes and other
delicious Yankee iruit 11 days after ship
