WAMEIODSE ' S .JILAILS AC OLD DEMOCRACY IS COHG Silver Has About Wiped Out the Tarty iu Louisiana. roimmxs ake swamped Tlio Now Orgnniiation Will Probably Label Itself Deitiocritcy, but tlio Leaders and Hank und I'llo Will All lie for Ire 0 Silver. New Orleans, Juno 14. Louisiana pull lie were never In a more complicated condition than they are today, and It looks us If It would never be possible to Ret the Democracy together attain In harmony. At the last state election the party spilt Into two bitterly hostile factions, nnd there were two full Dem ocratic state and local tickets In the Held. The old bitterness of the anti lottery and lottery Demoorutlc still sur vive. Then there are the sonar bolt and the desertion of nearly the entire sugar-planting Interest to the Bopub llcans, the opposition to the governor and state administration, and the oppo sition to Cleveland und his policy, which Is very strong again; there Is the Ballot Kefurm league, a very powerful organization, which has entered the field In the last few weeks to get rid of the present corrupt election laws of the state, and has announced Its pur pose to pay no attention to party lines, but to support any party or faction which will vote for honest elections. With one-third of the white vote of the state gone over to the Populists nnd another considerable fraction lost to the Itepubllcans on the sugar ques tion, the Democratic outlook Is not promising, and the Introduction of the silver question Into local politics, the politicians say, will cattle still further division and render defeat certain. Nearly the entire political element In the state was opposed to bringing out the silver Issue Just now. All the fed eral otllclals, of course, were opp.ieed to It, as they had been warned that any leaning on their part toward silver would mean their discharge. Of the representatives, Meyer and Price are against free silver, Buck and Kobertson doubting, but refusing to give In to a call for a silver conven tion. Hoatner is an International bl mt talfet. and therefore opposed to the prevailing pllver sentiment of bin state, leaving Ogden the only member from Louisiana In favor of a conven tion to consider the free coinage ques tion and force It Into state politics. No Hacking from Politicians. It will be seen, therefore, that the movement here had very little back ing from the politl?lans, who, indeed, feared the lssue and tried to crowd It down. When, however, a call was made for a silver convention to meet In New Orleans on June 10, It aroused a popular sen'timent 'that was alto gether ur.3Xpee'ed. Everywhere in the country parishes the silver meetings were large nnd enthusiastic. The con vention which assembled In New Or leans was on? of the largest ever as sembled In ths state, and one of the moft representative and Influential. Only a few days Intervened between the call and 'the convention, but these few days saw the silver boom obtain such proportions that the politicians all made for It. There had already been a very strong silver sentiment In New Orleans among the commercial and middle classed. These acquisitions leave no doubt as to the fact that a majority of the voters In New Orleans are for free coinage, and It Is generally recognized that the politicians would not have come over had they not thought that the silver movement would win. The country polltlcans have also joined the movement and many who have hitherto maintained a neutral or conservative position declared for free silver. The convention Itself was a hurrah affair. It listened to speeches, adopted resolutions, elected 250 delegates to the bimetallic convention In Memphis; but the chief work was the organization Of a bimetallic league and the appoint ment of an executive committee. This committee contains very few politi cians. Its president, Ashton Phelps, Is a retired cotton merchant, although a young man, well to do, thoroughly In dependent In politics, and with no po litical ambitions. The committee has got promptly to work and Issued an ad dress to the people of the state, and has gone to work to organize systematically the silver sentiment of Louisiana. Now Party and Wntfnrtn. This hnfl caused a sensation, and al ready there are cries that the move ment means a new party based on a sil ver platform. The address of the ex ecutive committee appeals to all the white voters of Itulslana to Join the ranks of 'those who are contending for the rem motivation and the free coin age of silver, and 'the league exists to win back the 30,000 white voters who have gone over 'to Populism. It has taken up the cry of ballot reform, nnd Its two principal planks will be honest elections and the free coinage of sliver. It propels 'thfl't '.hese and nit other questions, as well as the nominations of candidates, shnll be submitted to a primary of the white voters of Loulsl anna, and that all white voters shall be permitted to participate In the elec tions, whether Republicans, Populists, or Democrats. In many respects the organization will be a new party composed of the white voters of the state, without re gard to their previous polltcar affilia tions, provided only . they believe In white supremacy, honest elections, and free silver. It may claim the name of Democracy on the ground that It em braces a majority of the white Dem ocrats of the state and that a majority of the Democrats approve the views of the executive committee and will sup port them. Borne of the men who have embarked In the movement arc a little afraid of names and that they may be accused of deserting the Democracy, and It Is, threfore, probable that the name Democrat may be preserved. The silver people are asserting that, instead of the new movement weaken ing the Democracy of Louisiana, it will strengthen It, bringing back to its ranks some 30,000 voters who left It for the People's party. It proposes to make free silver a fundamental Issue in state politics until the question la definitely settled. MOT AT A BALL GAME. A Thousand Toughs at llaatloton Indulgo in a I'roo right. Hazleton, Pa., June 10. While two amateur base bull clubs were plnylng ball here today a riot broke out among the spectators. There were upwards of a thousand people present and every body seemed to take a band in the melee.

Wholesale urrests may follow. 1IK.II KirKElM AT RUTGERS. Professional IWillet (iirls from Now York shock tlio Audience at u New llrunswick College Show. New llrunswick, June 10. The sopho more class of Bulgers coJlcge cremated Analytics Friday night with great pomp und entliuxlas.ii. About 1,000 persons paid "." cents each for seats on the grand stands which hud been erected on the vacant lots on Somer set street, where the exercises were held. The cremation began at 11.30 o'clock. A band played dirges, while the stud ents danced ubout In the grotesque cos tumes of gnomes and devils. A stuffed figure, with a face made up to repre sent a professor who has made the tasks of the students particularly hard, was thrown Into the tire, und then there vvus a song of Joy. The main feature of Inst evening's performance was an oriental dance be fore the great high dignitary of the fete, LI Hung Chang. The Chinese statesman was supposed to be trying his general. Analytlcus, for (causing China's continued defeats. Analytlcus was found guilty nnd was condemned to die at the stake for treachery. Then the entertainment of the emperor was begun with a procession of Amazons, represented by sophomores In gauze shirts and flesh-colored tights. After thu Amazons had danced with great nial the premelr dancers were an nounced. The calcium light man put on all the power of his apparatus, and soon shapely limbs In fleshings were seen shooting skyward with surprising agil ity. The old men began to get deeply Interested and the young men, si'Ulng beside their best girls, were uneasy. The duncera were not students but women, and 'they were giving an open air can-ran. "ftoorge," said one New Brunswick girl who had reddened to the roots of her hair as the dancers shifted from a rather Innocent skirt dance to the wild acrobatic contortion known as the split, "they are not men at all, but Women, la It not terrible? Let's go home." And they were the first couple to leave the grandstand. There were several clergymen and hundreds of church members on the grandstand, and the display was alto gether 'too generous to suit them. The giddy dance went on, however, and the calcium light man could not be bribed to fihut off the Illumination. Many heads ot families took their parties home to avoid Booing the worst of the high kicking. Yesterday the sophomore class com mittee itrled its best to give the im pression that the dancers were not wo men, but the musicians betrayed the secret by telling how thty had re hearsed with three New York ballot dancers In the afternoon In the assem bly room.

Al lison for president will be formally launched at the national convention of Republican league clubs at Cleveland.

Paul Goldshury, nged 25 years, a member of the Moody quartette which sang at Chicago during the World's fair, and Mrs. Welsman, the wife of a Chicago physician, had a remarkable struggle for supremacy of will power last Fri day. Both have been. spen'ding their vacation with friends in this village. Mrs. Welsmian is a Christian Scient ist, while Goldsbury, though a Christian, does not believe In Christian science. Mrs. Welsman challenged Goldsbury to a test and he accepted. They were to clasp hands and the one that yielded last was to be the victor. Hands were clasped and the clasp was not broken for eighteen hours and then only by force. This Is vouched for by iM. F. Sandon, village postmas ter. Friends at first thought the contest a bit of 'pleasantry, but as the hours wore on and neither would yield, re monstrances followed. Signs of men tal disturbance came after a night of hand clasping, and friends who had watched them meanwhile, constantly entreated them to desist. In the morning sharp words were spoken by friends, and In consequence Goldsbury and Mrs. Welsner went to the village commons, all the time clasping hands. There the friends determined that the couple should be parted by force if necessary, and Postmaster Sandson and William Shepardson told Mrs. Welsner and Goldsbury that force would be employed unless the contest was ntopped. They declined to pnelasp hands and then Sandson took Ooldsbury by the arm and pulled him from the com mons to the street, but tho clusp was unbroken. By main force the ;vo men then parted the contestants. In order to subdue Goldsbury, It was necessary to take him to his summer home and tie him. He is still under the care of a nurse. 'Mrs. Welsner showed little effects of the long struggle, but the affair caused so much comment that last Saturday she went home to Chicago. The claim Is made that she hypnotized Goldsbury.
