London, May C. The expedition to
leave England on June 1 to explore a
hitherto unknown portion of the Dark Con
tinent will, as before cabled, be led and en
tirely equipped by William Astor Chanler,
a youm; American known to all interested
Jn African explorations from his darini
trip through Massailand around Mt. Kil
imanjaro onie three years a;o. Mr. Chanler
is the son of the laie John Winthrop
Chanler and a grandson of the famous Sim
Ward.
The expedition has as its objective point
a section of Africa wlnin, owing to the in
Tcterate hostility of the inhabitants, has
defifd the most persistent endeavors of
nil explorers. It is even a terra incognita
to the Arab slaves and the Smahlci traders.
Accompanied by Lieutenant Home, of the
Austrian navy, who has already traveled
in Africa with Count Teleki, Mr. Chanler
will leave Limu on the e.Tt coast, in the
territory of the Itriti-h East African Com
pany, about the middle of June.
Only Trro V liltp In the Tarty.
His caravan will master 200 rifles. George
Galwin, Mr. Chanler's servant, who accom
panied him on his expedition to Massailand,
tiill be the only other white man He
row from the homo of the Chanler on
tl Hudson river, and was only 17 when he
accompanied his young master into the
heart of Africa.
The objects of the expedition are purely
scientific, and the equipment will be as
complete as possible. As Mr. Chanler and
Lieutenant Hornel are acclimated and ac
customed to African diet, none of the por
tirs strength will be wasted in the trans
port of canned jnod, and consequently the
expedition will be the more able to carrv a
yrrat quantity of 7crlected instruments
and cases for the preervation of botanical
ai.d entomological specimens. Anions
other new appliances, Mr. Chanler will
e-sav for the first time in Africa the use of
the Ions distance photographic machine.
After leaving Mmii the expedition will
proceed up the Dana river to Mt Kenia.
Some weeks will here be pcnt in explora
tion and in attempting an ascent
The Kouti as Mapped Out.
From Kcnia the expedition will go north,
traversing the territory east of Rudolph
Lake, a tract of country of which nothing
is known except that it is inhabited by war
like Nilotic tribes. This country has been
the objective point of many abortive expe
ditions, and was the scene'of the massacre
of Baron Van Dereckcn and of the more
ivcent and less tragic failuics of Revoli,
I'rincc liusnoli and Ferrandi.
Mr. Chanler believes that bv entering the I
itftlntrr nf flirt niln .in.? llnni.ln. Va !.., I
direction, nn thus taking them unprepared,
these fierce tribesmen will be more disposed
to assist the strangers on to the coast and
get them out of the country quickly, rather
than to drive them back into the "interior,
where, by stirring up their enemies against
tbeni. they might be a source of trouble to
the Galla and the Somalas for years. Upon
this supposition, and upon the fact that his
caravan will have been trained and hard
ened by a year's travel before reaching tiie
hostile native, and not be confronted bv
tlieoi immediately on reaching the Somali
coa-t, as was the fate of his predecessors,
Mi. Cianler bases his hopes of overcoming
tin- innumerable difficulties incident to so
d.iringan undertaking.
H- is also of the opinion that the sight of
his any rifles will incline the hearts of even
the most warlike Somalas to gentle wavs, ol
peace. Marching down the JudIli river,
Mr. hanler hopes to reach the coat within
t" Mrs after leaving it, having traveled
3, mm miles through the least known por
tions of the continent.
Th- Gra mi Old Man 3Iaks a Mistake.
Within both Mr. Gladstone's immediate
circle and the rank and file of the Liberal
iarty, his refusal to receive the delegates
irnia the Woniingmen's Conference, who
h--r"d to present the eight-hour question
t l.im, is fceuly felt to hate been a tactical
mistake. Quick to take advantage of this
nustaKC, the Conservative members of the
Hon-' of Commons lor London held a
meeting and decided to inlluei.ee the Gov
erament to take the opposite course. The
L.beral menibrs also held a special meet
ing, bat they hesitated to take action con
demning Mr. Gladstone. They, therefore,
relerred the natter to a committee with in
structions to repirt next Tuesdav. In the
meantime the Conservatives steal a march
upon them by inducing Lord Salisbury and
Mr. JSallour to receive a deputation from
the trades unions.
Tiir I.al.or Itiilioals Not to IJo Dnped.
The leaders of the Trades Union Council
are almost without exception Radicals.
They will not be dup-d into supposing that
the Conservative chiefs are more zealous in
the cause of labor than the Liberal leaders,
nor will cither Lord Salisbury or Mr. Ball

in the
net House .mil held that the labor com-
iT-Tiratinus -nnl1 Tirf nnlv a minor in-
Jue'nce. Sir William Vernon Harcout, in
f conversing with the agents, stated that the
Wlections were certain to be held at the
opening of July, following tne Ulster con
vention at Belfast, and the all-Ireland
Unionist convention in Dublin in June.
The Orange lodges. Sir William asserted,
are privatelysubscribingmoney for the pur
chase of arms to carry out the threats to
rebel rather than to submit to an Irish
Parliament. Whether or not the Tories
sincerely believe that an armed conflict
would follow the establishment of an Irish
Parliament, thev assume the sincerity, and
cultivate the belief that civil war would be
the outcome of home rule.
Mr. McDonnell, Lord Salisbury's private
secretary, has written to an Oxford clergy
man that "His Lordship is glad to see you
impress upon the electors the probability
that home rule would produce the greatest
of all curses a religious civil war." After
this it is no wonder to hear of men drilling
in Ireland, and that rifles and munitions of
war are being stored in England.
Ships to Fly American Flags.
The free ship bill and the report that the
Inman line will build two ships in Amer
ica, are causing considerable discussion in
English shipping circles. The first effect of
the passage of the bill, according to En
glish opinion, will be to advance the value
of the English tramp screw steamers, many
of which will replace the wooden sidewheel
steamers now engaged in the American
coasting trade. A subsequent result will
be that some of the large Atlantic lines will
be put under the American flag. In regard
to the Inman line, Clyde builders hold that
building their vessels in America will add
one-fourth to the cost, beside the extra ex
penditures for the wages of the officers, en
gineers, seamen and firemen.
In a conversation with a representative of
the press, Sir Charles Tupper, Canadian
Ilish Commissioner to England, expressed
confidence that Lord Salisbury intends to
give effect to the desire of Canada for a de
nunciation of the Belgian and German
treaties, despite the tenor of the recent dis
patch of Lord Knutsford, Colonial Secre
tary to the contrary. Lord Salisbury, Sir
Charles said, proposes to place India and
all the British colonics ou an equal footing.
Gun Importers Dodslng tlio Tarlffi
A report on the Birmingham gun trade
shows an increase of 66 per cent in the num
ber of barrels proved in tho year the Mc
Kinley tariffbill has been in operation over
the previous year. American importers are
supposed to have found a way to evade the
tariil by taking the gun material in parts.
Countess Clancartv, wile of the Earl of
Clancartv, whose escapades while she was
plain Belle Bilton, a favorite music hall
singer, must still be fresh in the miuds of
American readers, has adopted the best way
ol getting into society. She has joined a
select circle of lady horse owners. Her
horse. Sunlight, ran "in the Gal way Hunt,
but was beaten. Countess Clancarty has
benefitted physically by entering into mat
rimony. She now weighs 170 pounds.
No petition in Deeming's case has yet
been lodged with the Judicial Committee
of the Privy Council. If a petition is for
warded from Australia it will promptly be
refused a hearing. Mr. Lyle, Deeming's
solicitor, delended the murderer Colston,
who was executed in Melbourne last
August. In that case he presented a peti
tion to the Privy Council asking for a re
hearing on the "ground that the Judge had
misdirected the jury on the definition of
insanity. The appeal was rejected. A
similar course in the Deeming case would
receive no consideration here.
A Catholic Chaplain for tho Lord Mayor.
Alderman Stuart Knill, representing the
Bridge ward, who is a stanch Roman Cath
olic, will be the next Lord Mayor of Lon
don. It is expected he will appoint a
Catholic priest as his chaplain. Should he
do so it will be the first instance of a Roman
Catholic holding the position since the
Reformation.

London; May G. To-day another En
glish outrage is reported, and, taken in con
nection with the Greville-Xugent case and
the other cases that have been reported of
late, the opinion grows in strength that the
English railway companies will have to
adopt better means than those at present
employed to protect women in railway car
riages. The last victim of the compartment sys
tem is a dressmaker named Amy Faulkner,
and irom present lnd'cations her assailant,
if arrested, will have to answer a charge of
murder, borne men walking along the rail
way near Leeds found a woman lving near
the rails. She was terribly injured, and
was just able to state that she had been as
saulted in the compartment of a railway
carriage and that her assailant had thrown
her headlong from the carriage. The train
was running at full sp,.ed and her injuries
were sustained by her being thrown from
the train. The police are looking for her
assailant, but there is little hope of his
being caught

Quaker Town of Salem.
OLD COLUMBIANA COUNTY SFTTLES IT
ISPECIAI, TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Salkm, O., May 6. The Kepublican
convention of the Eighteenth Congressional
district caused an invasion of this quiet,
quaint Quaker town to-day by a delegation
of more than fi,O00 representative Eepubli
cans, who gathered from every point In
Mahoning, Columbiana and Stark counties,
including a special trainload of business
men, manufacturers and members of the
Amalgamated Association, the latter warm
adherents of Judge King.
The little city was illy prepared to enter
tain such a large gathering, and many who
came in last night, to be early on the scene
and assist in booming their candidates,
were compelled to sleep on cots, while to
day the dinner of many consisted of a sand
wich and German champagne. The Bize of
the convention was beyond the expectations
of the several committees. Aside from car
ing for the press representatives properly
bad management seemed to characterize
everything.
T. R. Morgan opened headquarters early
at the Hotel Greiner, securing the only
suite of rooms on the first floor, which were
amply supplied with conversation water,
while Judge King was compelled to open
his headquarters on the second floor
A Very Bitter Fljht Waned.
Prior to the opening of the convention a
bitter fight was waged among the candidates,
none having a sufficient number of delegates
pledged to insure a nomination on the first
ballot. The leaders of the Morgan con
tingent, from Stark county, finally centered
their attack upon Judge King.of Mahoning,
conceding that he was the only opponent
whom they feared, and resorting to all the
tactics known in political warfare to break
his delegation, and later to hold the Morgan
contingent 'rom breaking away.
Through trains containing delegates being
late the convention did not assemble until
alter 2:30 o'clock, and was called to order
br Harry Weber, of Canton, and J. J.
Grant, of Canton, substitute Temporary
Chairman. The several counties reported
officers and members ot the several commit
tees. Judge William -R- Day, of Canton,
was elected Permanent Chairman, and E.H.
Hosmer, of Youngstown, Permanent Secre
tary. Judge Day said:
Thanking you for the honor, I want to
congratulate you In eettinjr back asuin into
the old district. We never did llko those
Holmes county fellows very well, and are
glad to get rid of them. I want to say to
you that only one of the distinguished gen
tlemen whose names will be presented can
be nominated. Whoever he mav be, let him
De the united choice of all. We did not
carry away any old sins from that grand
convention in Cleveland. Let us emulate
their example, and all rally to tho support
of the nominee.
Five Candidates In the King;.
After the adoption of rules the conven
tion proceeded with the presentation of
candidates tor Congress. Judge P. C.
Young nominated M. B. Billingsley, of
New Lisbon. William Monahan, also of
Columbiana county, was presented by John
M. Dickinson, qf New Lisbon. Judge
Arrel, of Youngstdwn, presented the name
of Judge King, of Mahoning county.
Judge Johnston, of Mahoning, was nom
inated by Generals. W. Jones, of Youngs
town, who said: "With five such elegant
gentlemen to select from, the convention
has the hardest task to select one of any
convention ever held In the Eighteenth
district. It seems to me we ought to send
all of them to Congress." Judge Baldwin,
of Canton, in nominating Thomas E. Mor
gan, said: "I heartily indorse the opinion
of the Chairman, that we are glad to get
rid of those Holmes county fellows. We
found too many tinplate liars down there."
Applause.
The Committee on Eesolutions presented
the following:
Resolved, Ily tho Eepublicans of tho Eight
eenth Congressional District, in delegate
convention assembled, That wo reaffirm tho
principles ot Republicanism as enunciated
in tho National apd State platforms of our
party.
Resolved, That wo extend hearty congrat
ulations to the present Governor of Ohio on
the splendid beginning of what promises to
bo a brilliant. business-lilo and patriotic
administration of State affairs, and declaro
our conviction that ho is eminently fitted to
fill any position within the gift of tho Amer
ican people.
Resolved, That wo heartilv Indorse the
administration of President Harrison.
Morgan Leads From the Start.
The convention numbered 222 delegates,
requiring 112 to nominate The ballot of
Mahonine was delayed, which brought
Judge Ambler, of Columbiana, to his feet
demanding that the viva voce rule be en
forced, each delegate announcing his vote
to the Chairman. The first ballot resulted
as follows:
Columbiana King, 21; Billingsley, 3S. Ma-hoiiin-r
King, 47: Johnston, 9. Stark Mor
gan, 93; King, 1; Monahan, 1.
King steadily gained until the fifth bal

There was practically little change made
in the balloting until the thirty-third ballot
was reached, when Columbiana county
broke and gave Colonel H. K. Hill, of East
Liverpool, 14 votes. On the fortv-eighth
ballot Stark county gave Judce Day, of
Canton, 12 votes, but he declined, stating
that it was throwing away votes to give
them to him. The fifty-ninth ballot re
sulted as follows: Columbiana King 24,
Billingsley 38, Monahan 9; Mahoning
King 50, Johnston 6; Stark Morgan 82,
King 1, Johnston 12.
At 5:30 the convention took a recess un.

Stark Morgan 81, King 5, Jonnstou I, Mona
han 2. No choice.
Columbiana Settles the Matter.
After the sixty-ninth ballot, without
any change, the Columbiana county dele
gates asked leave to retire for ten minutes
for consultation, which was granted. While
the delegation was out the convention
called General Jones, of Youngstown, to
the front, who made a ringing tariff speech.
"When Columbiana county returned, alter
an hour's deliberation, the seventieth bal
lot resulted as follows:

John A. Logan, Jr., as the colleague of Mr.
Ambler. John K. Davis, also of Mahoning,

Youngstown, and J. J. Grant, of Stark
county, presented the name of George E.
Baldwin, of Canton. Baldwin was nomi

FOB BLAINE AND FHEE SILVER.
The Peculiar Mixture of Man and Princi
ple In a Western State.
POOatella, Idaho, May G. The Re
publican State Convention to nominate six
delegates to the Minneapolis Convention
was held here yesterday. The convention
was dominated by two leading ideas free
and unlimited coinage of silver and James
G. Blaine as the candidate of the party for
President. The delegates were very much
in earnest on both points, and the name of
Blaine aroused wild enthusiasm whenever
mentioned. The following delegates were
selected: Willis Sweet, James M. Shoup,
W. B. Heyburn, Monte B. Guinn and D. O.
Loekwood
The platform congratulates the people of
Idaho upon the progress made under two
years of Statehood; renews allegiance to the
doctrines of the Republican party; con
demns the Democrats in Congress for at
tempting to put wool and Mexican lead sil
ver ore on the free list, and for refusing
to make adequate appropriation for the sur
vey of public lands. President Harrison is
not referred to in the platform, but strong
Blaine and free silver planks were adopted.
A County Chairman Bowled Out.
Indiana, Pa., May 6. Special. At
the meeting of the Republican County
Committee, held here this afternoon, there
was a lively contest as to who should be
Chairman for the coming year. John T.
Bell, candidate for re-election, was defeated
bv John L. Getty. Mr. Bell has made an
efficient Chairman, but in his recent contest
for the nomination for State Senate against
M. C Watson he became so identified with
the Elkin faction that his defeat for Chair
man was a logical sequence.

A PITTSBURG GIRL STOLEN.
SINGULAR DISAPPEARANCE OF .
STRIAN LASS IN JtfEW YORK.
She Is Only 12 but Wanted to Marry A
Thousand Dollars Pacifies Her Tho
Anxious Father Thlnlft She Has Keen
Kidnaped One Arrest Made.
Nkw York, MayG. Special The Syr
ian colony in Washington street is talking
of the strange disappearance of 12-year-old
Cenie Noherer, the prettiest girl of the lace
in the city. Cenie disappeared Wednesday
night. Two men are suspected of having
robbed and kidnaped her. One, who is
known as John Isaacs, is now a prisoner,
arrested on a warrant sworn out by John
Noherer, father of the girl, who is a
merchant of Pittsburg.
Koherer is reputed to be well-to-do. He
came to this country about five years ago.
He has been fortunate, it is said, and now
owns five stores in Pittsburg and employs
many peddlers. Among Xoherer's em
ployes is a young Syrian named Charlees.
This young man fell in love with Cenie,
who, although but 12 vears of age, looks to
be 20. The girl returned his affection, and
would have eloped with him, but her father
learned of their plan just in time to pre
vent its execution.
Friends of the family say that Coherer
brought his daughter here intending to sail
with her for Syria in order to escape from
Charlees. The Noherers went immediately
to the big Syrian boarding house at 25
Washington street. The girl longed for her
lover, and begged her father to take her to
him. He refused, and she fretted and wor
ried until she became ill, and a doctor was
called.
Noherer says the doctor told him he must
do something to get the girl's mind off her
lover, and that he gave her 51,000 in Amer
ican bank notes about a week ago and told
her she could deposit it in a bank in her
own name and when she came of age she
could do what she liked with it. This
seemed to please her, and she took the
money, but did not put it in the bank.
John Isaacs and Salem Nana live and
work in the peddlers' supply store at 7!)
Washington street Isaac paid some atten
tion to Cenie Noherer, and, her father says,
learned that she had fl.OOO. The rest of
the story is told by two Syrian peddlers
who boarded in the same house with the
Noherers. They say they were sitting in
the rear yard of 25 Washington street on
Wednesday night when they saw Isaacs
and Xami talking to Cenie. They appeared
to be trying to urge her to do something,
and she'kept shaking her head and saying
'No, n a" Suddenly the men seized the
girl by the arms and began to force her into
the house. That was the last seen of her.
The two peddlers told their story to Justice
McMahoa and he issued warrants. The offi
cers had no trouble in catching Isaacs, but
Kami could not be found. Noherer be
lieves that Isaacs knows where his daugh
ter is.

Dunkirk, K. Y., May C Special. An
unknown man of about CO years iound him
self in jail here this evening. Upon his
application for lodging he was admitted to
the jail corridor. No prisoners were in
there. At 7:30 o'clock an officer admit
ting another lodger iound the old
man dead, hanging to a cell door, having
made a noose of a piece of blanket. His
feet touched the floor. The man had gray
hair, mustache and goatee, a blue, narrow,
ragged scar near the center of his forehead,
a mole on the left aide of his
nose. His height was 5 feet 8 inches.
He wore dark clothes, well worn, and an
outside shirt of red and black checkered
flannel. He had no money, but carried a
dull pocketknife, with which he had at
tempted to cut his throat and had gashed
his arm. An envelope in his pocket, dated
January 5, 1892, was addressed "James
Campbell, 81 Pittsburg street, New Castle,
Pa."
8AL SCENES AX THE WEECK.
Major Hudson, a Prominent Journalist and
Politician, Was a Passenger.
Fort Madison, Ia., May C Tiie scene
of the Santa Fe Bailroad wreck presented a
fearful appearance to-day. The woman who
was killed was found to be Mrs. G. Bausch,
of San Bernardino, CaL Her babe had evi
dently been drowned, as no marks of
violence were found. Her 2-year-old daugh
ter was found unhurt, crying beside her
dead mother. Among the passengers was
Major Hudson, the editor of the Topeka
Capital, who was a candidate for the seat of
Senator Ingalls.
In the express car the men found a small
burro, or donkey, in a box which was com
pletely wedged in by the timbers of the
car. It was taken out unhurt. Had the
accident happened to the California express,
with its 350 people, which was the train due
at that time, the disaster would have been
far worse.
i A- CHINESE SPECTER
Disturbs tho Equanimity of the Meth
odists in Conference.
THE EXCLUSION BILL DENOUNCED
As a Partisan Trick on the Part of Congress
and the President.
THE QUESTION IS FINALLY REFERRED
Omaha, May 0. Bishop Mallalieu pre
sided at the morning session of the Metho
dist Episcopal General Conference to-day.
There has been a lively contest in the or
ganization of the Temperance Committee.
Among those who desired to be chairman
Rev. J, G. Evans, of Illinos; Prof. W. T.
Whitlock, of Ohio; Dr. A. J. Kynett, of
Philadelphia, and Bev. H. E. Pendleton, of
Kansas, were the most active. Rev. J. G.
Evans secured the election by a majority of
two votes. The Temperance Committee is
looked upon as a very important one.
The order of the day was the report of
Bishop Thoburn, of India and Mayalasia.
The Methodist Church, he said, was teach
ing and preaching the Gospel in India and
Mayalasia in 13 diflerent languages. Dr.
Thoburn's report gave a detailed account of
the work done in the three annual confer
ences, and the women's conference in India.
It stated that the work in India is in excel
lent condition, but the need is great.
How the Church Grows in India.
The working force from America has
fallen o2 Borne, but the work has continued
to grow. The membership has increased
nearly 30,000 during the quadrennial. The
Methodist Sunday schools in India now
have a membership of over 55,000, an in
crease of 15,000 during the four years past.
In the day schools the Church has 29,000
native pupils of India. People by thousands
are giving up their ideas and the native
ministry is rapidly increasing both in num
bers and in efficiency.
The report warmly commended the work
of women in the missions of India. The
Church has established three publishing
houses, and is sending out pamphlets and
periodicals in nine diflerent languages from
its own presses. The report recommended
that there be live Conferences organized, in
stead of three. The Conferences are too
large at present, compelling some of the
ministers to travel 2,000 or 3,000 miles to
attend them. "The day of small things is
past," said the Bishop; "we must take np
the work before us and carry practically the
lesponsibilities laid upon us. We do not
know what may happen to-morrow, but we
do know that the sun never sets in the
morning. It is just morning in India. Let
us up and be doing while the daylight
lasts."
The Chinese Exclusion Bill Comes Up.
On motion of Dr. Hamilton the report of
Bishop Taylor, of Africa, was made the
order for to-morrow. The Conference then
requested the committee appointed the pre
vious day to prepare a resolution upon the
Chinese exclusion bill to report. Judge
Lawrence submitted the report, which
stated that the committee has learned that
the bill had already been sigued by the
President, and it is, therefore, too late to
take action until the exact wording and
condition of the bill should be ascertained.
Dr. Windells ollersd a minority report,
to have tho question referred to the Com
mittee on the State of the Church. He
feared the passage of the Chinese exclusion
act would jeopaidize the lives and the prop
erty of missionaries in China, and he
wanted the matter thoroughly considered
and disposed of, so that the Conference
might be thoroughly informed as to the
actual stato of affairs.
During fhe discussion Dr. Leonard de
nounced the President and Congress, and
said the Chinese had the same Tight here as
other foreigners, notably the Irish. He be
lieved this Conference should take action in
no uncertain tone in relation to it.
Denounced as a Political Measure.
Dr. Buckley, of New York, asked that the
matter be referred to a committee, instruct
ing them to get a copy ot the bill and make
a clear leport on the subject.
Dr. Windells again made an earnest ap
peal. He argued that until some action is
taken the country would regard the confer
ence as approving the bill. The bill, he
said, is the most iniquitous measure ever
passed by the Congress of this country.
Dr. Edwards, of Chicago, later took the
floor. He said it is a political measure.
"This bill," he added, "is a sop to the
steerages now unloading at Battery park,
New York. It was rushed through a Demo
cratic House, passed by our noble Senators
and signed by our well-nigh unimpeachable
President solely for political effect." He
moved to refer it to the Committee on Mis
sions.
Dr. Payne, of Cincinnati, said the Church
should show that it is not controlled by any
partisan bias, and that no political party
manacres it. He believes the Conlerence
should show that it does not anprove such a
political measure, and moved" to send the
matter to the Church Committee. He was
wildly applauded.
Dr. Buckley again secured the floor and
denounced all reference to politics, saying
that the man who would try to build up
one party or tear down another in this Con
ference is nothing but a demagogue.
Finally the matter was referred to a special
committee consisting of five ministers and
four laymen. There was a universal sigh
of relief when the question was temporarily
disposed of. The Conference adjourned at
1 o clock.
CARLISLE HAS A BOOM.
His
Kentucky Friends Expect to Present
Ills Name at Chicago.
Louisville, Ky., May 6. At Frank
fort to-day the friends of Senator Carlisle
from different sections of the State gathered
and passed resolutions strongly advocating
him as a candidate for the Presidency upon
the Democratic ticket. The Democratic
Committee to send delegates to Chicago
meets here May 25, and it is probable that
Carlisle will be there, and an enthusiastic
indorsement will be given him.
A telegram from New York says: In an
interview with Hon. John G. Carlisle,
printed here this morning, he is quoted as
saying: "I certainly am not a candidate
tor President, in the sense of seeking the
nomination. If Kentucky decides to pre
sent my name to the convention, in view of
existing conditions, that is another matter."

TOSI REED MAKES IT WARM FOR TIIE
OHJECTOR.
The Ex-Speaker Waxes sarcastlo nt the
Expense of the Indiana Choese-Parer
A Bait River Appropriation Knoclicd
Out by a Bit of Pleasantry.
Washington, May 6. It was made "evi
dent in to-day's proceedings in the House
that the lliver and Harbor Committee has
the great majority of the House on its side,
and the reception that amendments not
favored by Chairman Blanchard met was
certainly discouraging to members who
wanted to ohange the distribution made by
the committee. Mr. Holman, of Indiana,
is having it made very warm for him in his
.opposition to the bill. Mr. Iteed, of Maine,
this afternoon, to the great amusement ot
the House, applied his wealth ol sarcasm to
tho Indiana objector, and in a quiet way
poked fun at Mr. Holman for defending an'
appropriation made for a stream in In
diana. The House did nothing to-day but con
sider the river and harbor bill in committee
of the whole, Mr. Hatch in the chair. Mr.
Caruth threw a little amusement into the
proceedings bv offering an amendment ap
propriating 52,000 for the improvement of
Salt river, Ky. After expatiating upon
the great benefits which would accrue to
commerce from the improvement of the
navigation of this stream, he alluded to the
advantage which the appropriation would
bring to defeated candidates for the Presi
dency. Mr. Blanchard remembered that some
Kentucky representative had asked for a
survey ot Salt river.
A Good Tiling for Election Time.
"Will you get It ready before the No
vember elections?" was Mr. Caruth's plain
tive rejoinder, and the House, bursting into
laughter, promptly defeated the amend
ment Then Mr. Eeed, of Maine, saw an oppor
tunity to stir up Mr. Holman, and he did
so by moving to strike out the appropria
tion of 813,000 for completing the embank
ment on the south side of the Great Miami
river. In a sarcastic manner he called upon
the Chairman of the Committee on Appro
priations to rise and protest against this ex
travagant expenditure, even though it was
to be expended within his district It
seemed that the gentleman had a redeeming
trait that he was so human that when it
came to an appropriation tor his own dis
trict, the great principles of economy, re
trenchment and reiorm were no more appli
cable to him than to the weakest ot Repre
sentatives. Laughter.
Mr. Holman defended the appropriation.
Belerring to an illusion made by Mr. Iteed
to the town of Lawrenceburg, Ind., he said
that if he had alluded in a similar manner
to a town in the gentleman's district the
gentleman could think of nothing that was
too mean lor him to reply. He denied em
phatically that in advocating the paragraph
he was in any way actuated in legislation
by a personal motive. ,
Reed and Holman Have a Tim1.
Mr. Keed replied that he had not said the
gentleman was actuated in legislation by
personal motives. But die had been here
for 15 years, and he had never seen the gen
tleman vote against an Indiana project.
Mr. Holman Yes, you have. You have
seen me do so over and over again. You
have seen me vote against the Swamp Land
bill, in which Indiana was interested.
Mr. Eeed That is right that fs an ex
ception. Mr. McRae, of Arkansas He is not
right.
Mr. Eeed Is that so? Then that settles
that instance.
Mr. Eeed's motion was lost without di
vision. Mr. Whiting, of Michigan, moved to
strike out the appropriation for a ship canal
21 feet in depth, connecting the waters of
the Great Lakes between Chicago, Duluth
and Buffalo, and inserting in lieu thereof a
provision authorizing the Secietary of War
to appoint a Board of Engineers, to whom
shall be referred the report of Colonel O.
M. Poe upon the subject of a 20-foot chan
nel from Duluth to Buffalo, through the
Great Lakes; the board shall also report as
to the practicability of raising the water
level of the lakesand connecting harbors by
damming the Niagara river.
Pending action the committee rose and
the House took a recess, the evening session
tr be for the consideration of" private pen
sion bills.
