Democrats Are Fcnrfu! of Losing
Kentucky and Maryland.
CARLISLE CONSULTS CLEVELAND
The Two Leaden of tho Administration
Democracy lo Not, However, See
Mneh Hope in the Outlook.
Other Live Political New.
Washington, Sept. IS. Secretary Car
Hole's visit to the president at Oray
(tables has not for Its object, as the
gossip claim, the determination of a
tiiiaiu'kil jxilk'y to be pursued, but is
in relation to matiters of deep import to
the polftli's of the IVmoor-.itle party.
Fear of losing two 'Democratic states
in the coming elections has caused Sec
retary Varllsle and President Cleve
land to put their heads together and
discuss the situation. If anything ran
be done in the states of Kentucky and
Maryland to avert the Impending cal
amity he realizes that now Is the time
to g,-t hi work, for the situation may
soon be beyond the grasp of the polit
ical managers, even if It Is not already
S'.
Secretary Carllslle has received word
chat Democratic affairs are in very
bad shape In Kentucky. The incon
gruity of the head of the Democratic
ticket there. Colonel Hardin, the nom
inee for governor, declaring openly for
free coinage, while standing on a soitml
money plaform, has caused very prom
inent men in the party to renounce the
ticket, and declare that they will vote
for a sound-money 'Republican. It will
prmhahly take the combined sagacity
of President Cleveland and Secretary
Carlisle to devise a method of recon
ciling the differences now existing In
the state, anil it is considered quite
doubtful If such an end can be con
summated. Kentucky Republicans are
In a white-heat of hope ami anticipa
tion of a glorious victory.
The situation In Maryland Is also be
coming menacing for the Democrats.
Splits In the nartv are neouiring In a
number of counties and more are
hreatened. It is ithe anti-Gorman ele
ment In that state which is causing
he trouble. The alarming feature Is
the persistency with which the opposl-
nn to Gorman Is maintained ana ttie
ngth which his opponents seem
willing to proceed In order to secure
his downfall. It is believed that tliey
would be willing to turn the state
over to the Republicans for one term
thereby they could freeze out Sir.
(lorman. Indications point to the pron
nbillty that the Democracy may bo
downed.
Of course President Cleveland floes
not want to lose either of these states
his fall, for they will be needed very
badly in the presidential elections or
he succeeding year, so lie ami secre
tary Carlisle are putting tneir neaus
igether over the problem or saving
them from Republican rule.
UTER IIAKRISON'S DELEGATES
Kccd and Mckinley Slyly Poaching tin
the Kx-Prcsident's Preservcs-The I'co
plo I'avor the Ohio Man, but tho
Politicians Want Kccd.
Indianapolis, Sept. 26. Oeneral Har
rison is being pressed for an announce
ment prior to the conference of party
leaders here on Oct. 10 as to whether or
not he 'will be a candidate for renoml-
nation for president. Those who are
Insisting that he shall speak are mak
ing use of the old argument that the
general owes It to the other candidates
for president to throw some light on his
position.
In the meantime he has given no in
dication that he will talk, and many
who know him well say that he will
accept what fate and the convention
have In store, but will not seek to shape
the result.
At least two of the other candidates
are busy taking second-choice pledges
In the state, and It Is said that unless
(Seneral Harrison declares soon that he
will enter the race first-choice pledges
will be taken right here at his home.
McKlnley and Heed, through their
agents, are actively at work In the
northern and southern parts of the
state. If (Seneral Harrison were "out
of the way" It would be "nip and
tuck" between M?Klnley and Keel in
Irnllana. Men who have been over the
state a great deal the last few months
fay It seems evident that McKinley Is
tne more popular or the two with the
people. The leading politicians, how
ever, are not so friendly to 'his candi
dacy ns they were two yenrs ago. They
ore Inclined lo doubt the wisdom of
nominating a candidate with extreme
tariff views.
It Is understood that the new con
gressional dHrscation has agreed to
take cure of !ed's Interests In case
fleneral Harrison Is not a candidate.
MCTilLL NAMED IN JERSEY.
Tho Democrat Hold nn rnthiisinstlc Con
vention -Their Plntform.
Trenton. M. J Sept. 28. The Demo
cratic state convention today nomi
nated for governor Alexander M. (till,
the present chancellor of New Jersey.
His nomination occurred on tho first
ballot, his only comnetlfnr. Aiiiniutna
W. Cutler, of Morris county, obtain
ing altogether only 1.13 votes out of
a total of 9ISS. or a necessary 470, votes.
As soon as Kssex and Hudson counties
voted the nomination of McC.lll was
assured. Despite the fact that the
Democrats have been feeling hopeless
regarding the outcome of the election
this year It wns an enthusiastic con
vention. The delegates sitting In Tay
lor's Opera house In their shirt sleeves
shouted and cheered almost continu
ously, and the mention of McOIII's
name was as many times the signal
for rafter-rlnglng demonstration.
Tho platform reaffirms the nntlonnl
DeitnocmKc platform of 1S2 and Indorses
the administration of President Cleve
land. It congratulates the people upon
the revival or prosperity nnd asserts that
the industrial depression of the past three
years Is chnrgeultle t olhe national legis
lation enneted by the Itepuhllcun party.
The purchase of silver to he stored in the
treasury and the enactment of unjust
tariff laws to enrich a few favorites by
the oppression of the millions of con
sumers are cited as main causes of the
paralyzation of our markets. These de.
press'ng causes, It Is claimed, Imve been
remedied by a Democrati c congress.
On stuto tnntterst 4he platform de
nounces as maliciously false the state
ments of the Republican platform that the
government of New Jersey has been con
ducted by the Democratic party In a dis
honest and extravagant manner. The
adoption of a constitutional amendment
Is favored that will render Impossible anv
law for the legalization of cnmlillmr In
sny form. The Hepuhllcnn legislature of
mo Is charged with the responsibility for
all lawn permitting on horse races. The
platform pledges the Democratic party
to the enactment of laws that will secure
to the people of New Jersey control of
the portable waters of the state. The
final clause In the platform Is a demand
that the laws of the state be amended to
provide severe penalties for discrimination
In the flx'ng of rates of transportation of
freight In any wise Injurious to the far-
mr or outer people or in. staie.
WAS TIIK JURY FIXED?
This Is a Oncstion Suggested
Its
Singular Verdict.
llaltlmore. Sept. 20. An Intereittlng
suit terminated In the .Superior court
today with a verdict of one cent dam
ages. Martin Curhindcr and his wife
visited the World's fnlr last October and
were compelled to occupy upper berths
in :i Pullman sleeping car. Hlillns
backward during the day rendered Mrs.
Cui'lamU-r 111. A sympathizing party,
who hail purchased a section through
to Chicago, but left the train at some
point east of there, wave his receipt for
the section to Mr. Curlamler with per
mission to occupy It. The Pullman
1 ondtictor re-scld tho section and forced
Mr. and Mrs. Curlamler to vacate.
Mr. Curlamler sued the Pullman
company for $H.0rtO damages, claiming
that his wife was nuade ill by being
forced to ride backward. In the trial
Judge Ritchie decided that the pur
chaser of a seat or s:etlon In a 'Pull
man car had a legtil right to transfer
It to whomsoever h: pleased and that
Mr .Curlamler was entitled to damages
bt -ause of the conductor's action.
The point of law being d-.clded the
case went to the Jury after n week's
trial. This afternoon a verdict was re
turned for nm cent damages.
M'RAm llKFEXSE.
Itcllcs I'pnn the Uoll Cull of n Medical
College to tsulst In 'rovlns"n Alihl.
San Francisco, Sept. 26. The defence
In the 1 Mi rant case today took up the
Important iiuesMon of roll call at the
li-cMire In the Cooper Medl?nl college
on the afternoon of the murder. It Is
upon this that Durant mainly relies for
his uliM. This lecture began at !t..to
and cimi!lni!,"d ujitil 4I1!. 'It was a
few minutes after three when Miss
I.nmont left the school from which. In
the company of a young man. sup
posed to be Durant, she went to the
church. She entered the church about
live minutes after the adjournment of
the lecture, nnd t.he roll call was made
at the conclusion of the lecture. In
view of these facts It Is vltnl for the de
fense to show the presence of Durant
at 'the college at that time. It produced
two witnesses on the point today.
One of these was Dr. William F.
Cheney, who delivered the lecture. He
testified ns to the subject, which was
"Infants' Food." and said the rule to
call the roll was followed at Its con
clusion, die had made an investiga
tion to verify the roll call us to Intr
ant's presence, but the result of this
was not admitted. An Ineffectual ef
fort was made to got Into evidence an
opinion from the doctor as to whether
or not Durant was present at the lec
ture, 1ut tints the prosecution pre
vented. He denied that there was such
confusion In his class as to Interfere
with proper calling of the roll. The
roll, he said, was carefully guarded
against Interpolations, as It was ma
terial In arriving at the standing of
the students.
A vigorous fight was nrctde against
the Introduction of the roll call, but it
was admitted. The prosecution tried to
discredit the roll call by showing that
frequently students answered for one
another. The settlement of this ques
tion of the Introduction of testimony
went over until tomorrow.
Ten Students Absent.
It was shown that there were seventy-four
students in the class to which
Dr. Cheney lectured and that ten were
marked absent.
The defense put on three defectives
to testify to marks about the dKr to the
lower belfry and about Pastor Gibson's
study In Kmmanuel church. The shoe
with a blood stain on the sole belonging
to fSlbson, which was found In his
study the morning after the finding of
'Minnie William's body, was produced
and Identified os having been among
six shoes In the study.
The door leading to the church tower
with marks supposed to have leen
made with a chisel was shown in court.
The blnde of the chisel did not com
pletely fit the mack of the doors and the
detectives were not sure that they had
not been made' with a Jimmy. The
marks were such as might have been
made with an instrument like a Jimmy
as well as a chisel. One of these marks
had been varnished, which Indicated
that !t was made before the time of the
murders. There was also a mark In
the door ns though made with a ham
mer. The hammer and chisel which, It
Is thought, were used In the making of
thei-e rcr-.rks were placed In evidence.
They came from Rev. fSlbson's tool box
always kept open In his never closed
study. The object of their Introduc
tion by the defense was to add to the
material for connecting C.lbson at least
by Innuendo with the crime.
The defense today announced that It
would have between forty-five and
fifty witnesses. This Insures three
weeks more of the trlnl.

SUNK IN SIGHT OF LAND
Graphic Description of He Loss of a
Spanish War Vessel.
GRAND SCENES OP HEK0ISM
With tho Vessel Fust tiolng Down, Offi
cers and Crew Rcfuso to Lntertho
Boats I'ntil Their Friends
Have Filtered First.
Havana, Sept. 2G. The following are
the particulars of the accident off 101
'.Morro, Cuba, on Wednesday last, when
the Spanish war vessel. Sandiest illar
cuiztegul, sank: The Spanish cruiser
left the buy of Havana with Admiral
'Manuel Delgado Y Parejo and his stall.
He was about to make a circular cruise
around the island. She cleared from
her moorings at ll.itO on Wednesday
night, steering for the narrow channel
leading to the open sea. She was under
easy steam, or half speed, when the
lookout notlcid a red and white light
on the signal station nt the entrance
to Hie hai'lior. Indicating that a steamer
was standing in for the entrance of
the channel. 1SI10 was steaming In
from the northeast end of the island.
She wns only two cable lengths away.
Instii'Mly Captain Iliunvi, of he
ciulscr. ordered the helm to starboard,
thus steering In to his right and close In
on Kl iMorro, leaving ample room for
the incoming steamer to pass on his
port side. He duly announced his
course by a single blast ff the whistle,
that being the signal under the lnter
natitmal code. Both ships were rapid
ly nt'arlng each other, bow to bow.
Cuptai'ii. Iuaneis's signal failed to elicit
an Instant reply. He repeated the sin
gle blast, but ns less than the usual
time Interval elapsed between the two,
the Incoming steamer, thej Mortera, In
terpreted is as one signal of two blasts,
indicating the port helm. She answered
by two whistles and changed her
course. This made the collision Inevi
table. They kept bow to each other.
(Viptain luanez, realising the great and
Instant ierll. gave the order for full
speed astern, and ordered his wheel
hard over to meet the new nnd unex
pected condition of things. This neces
sitated thirty-four turns of the wheel
and Involved a loss of very valuable
time.
A Fireman's Costly Mlshnp.
During this critical moment, when
the fate of the ship was In the balance,
a fireman stumbled against the elec
tric wires supplying light and displaced
them, and In an Instant tot'al darkness
enveloped the phlp. The side lights on
tha bridge, and forward fhe usual red
and green lights, were supplied by the
electric current. Momentarily the Mor
tera lost sight of her in the darkness.
Under such circumstances the ship
waa doomed. In vain did the captain
of the Mortera order his sh'lp full speed
astern. Ere he could stop tils headway
the two Iron steamer came together
with a dreadful blow and crash.
It was 12.05 when they struck. Even
In the face of Instant death, full and
perfect discipline was maintained on
board the cruiser. With the ritolcal
heroism of the Spanish sailor, Captain
Ibanei gave orders to clear awav and
lower fhe boats. Lieutenant Rlcardo
Oarcla Juneo was on duty forward, and
he knew that an Immense hole had
been knocked In near the bow plates.
The forecastle was full of water. It
continued to pour Into the ship, and
she commenced to sink hy the head.
Lieutenant Junco, recognizing the dan
ger. Instantly reported to the admiral
as follows: "Admiral, In five minutes
the Sanchez Rarcaiztegul will go
down."
The admiral, advanced In years and
In poor health. In a quiet, self-pos
sessed lone, replied: ''Report what you
have said to me to your captain, th-.et
he may take any precaution he deems
necessary." Obeying this order Lieu
tenant Junco reported to the captain,
who Issued his final orders. 'Previous
ly Captain Ibaneis had ordered the load
ing and lining or a cannon as a signal
for help, 'but time did not permit. She
was sinking too rapidly. All the boats
were floated.
A Kcmarkoblo Secnc.
Then followed a remarkable scene
the rough nnd ready sailors entered on
a contest of generosity and heroic self
denial. "I will wait for the last boat:
I have no one to mourn me," said one.
Another cry was heard: "You that
have wives and children get Into the
boats." The brave fellows refused to
be first. The same spirit actuated all
on 'board officers and men alike. They
were cool nnd self-possessed. The cap
tain and his officers surrounded the
venerable admiral on the bridge. The
latter Insisted on being the last to
leave the ship. "Admiral," said Lieu
tenant flarcla, "If your excellency
wishes, you can be lowered to n boat,"
which he declined, saying: "Thanks,
mv son, although aged I can help my
self." Then tho admiral addresser! the crew.
Haste, men. let all save themselves."
The ship was sinking under them Into
the deep waters oft" the Moro. Almost
bv force the admiral was placed Into
a boat that of Lieutenant Oarcla Jun
co. Still, many remained on hoard,
when a general cry went up that the
ship was sinking. The third bout, con
taining the ndmlral, was still alongside,
when nn effort was mnde' to clear her.
When but a few yards away the ship
gave a final lurch and disappeared
amid a sea of creamy foam. The suc
tion caused by the .sinking of so large
a ship drew In everything nearby, In
cluding the 'boat containing 'the ad
miral, who, with all the crew, were lost.
Sharks (inptitro Live Prey.
Scenes at such moments are simply
IndcrcrlbaOle. The surface of the wiater
was studded wllh heads struggling In
the waves sweeping In from the At
lantic. The air was filled with shrieks,
prayers and cries fearful, heartrend
ing cries some shouting farewell to
mothers, wives nn"l children. This
solemn nnd dreadful scene was made
simply awful by the appearance of
11ju.11 y sharks. The harbor and coast of
Cuba Is known for Its mnn-entlng
sharks. Some of the unfortunate men
were seized by the legs and drawn tin
dur, others sank beneath the waves.
Whllo this fearful scene was being
erracted the brove and gallant captain
of the Moreta, Jose Ii. Vlnolas, had
lowered all of hl boats and forty-five"
officers and men were rescued that,
but for his assistance, would have been
drowned within a hundred yards of a
largo and populous city, All were loud
in their pra.lse of Oaptnln Vlnolas.
In drawing this harrowing scene 1o
a close, the gallant captain of the liar
caixetegul must not be forgotten, Jle
saw to the embtirklng of every man and
was hm on tho ship. As she gave
the flnial lurch he Jumped Into the sea
nnd disappeared In the suction that
drew under the ship's boats and crew.

IS
Irish National Alliance of the World
Has been Formed.
HEADQUARTERS AT NEW YORK
Membership Is Limited to Citizens of Irish
Descent Who Will Pledge Themselves
to Aid in the Liberation of Ire
land by Any Fair Means.
Chlcngo, Sept. 2fi. Birth was given
by the Irish National convention this
afternoon to an organization which has
for Its avowed object the Independence
of Ireland and a republic by a policy of
physical force.
The ashes of the Fenian brotherhood
are rekindled; tho National league, with
Its trust in legislators ami Its rellunce
upon parliaments and enactments, is
buried frtm sight, and In iIb place rises
the Irish National Alliance of the
world. Incidentally, too, the Irish par
liamentary party across the Atlantic
Is repudiated, nnd henceforward will be
deprived of it he abundant revenues
that have been contributed from this
country for its maintenance and sup
port. The next two years at least New York
city will be the seat of operations of
the new movement, William Lyman, a
wealthy Irlrth-Amerk-an, of thnt city,
having been selected as first president
of the Alliance, with authority to ap
point a seoretaary of his own choice.
The plan of operations adopted pro
vides for a central council with au
thority to issue charters for mate or
ganizations. Membership Is limited to
people of Irish 'birth or descent, and
who shall pledge themselves to aid In
the liberation of Ireland by any means
"consistent with the laws and usages
of civilized nations." The plan closely
resembles that of the old Fenian broth
erhood. This evening the convention
adjourned sine die. Nothing was done
by the convention at the morning ses
slon, owing to the delay on the part of
the committee on resolutions in agree
ing to a report.
Ways and Means Committee Report.
When the 'delegates re-nssembled nt
3 o'clock the committee on ways and
means and plan of organization pre
setited Its report. The Introductory
was as follows:
The new movement organization shall
he known by the style und title of the
Irish National alliance.
U shall have for its object tho securing
or the tnleiienlenee of ire ami uy any
means within Its power consistent with
the laws mill usages of eivillzeii nations
The quulilieatlons for membership shall
lie good moral character, blrlh on Irish
soil or descent from Irish parentage on
paternal or maternul side, or both, and
the tiiklnir of the following nledKe:
I hereby pledge my word of honor
to aid by every means within my power
In conformity with the constitution aivl
bv-luws of the Irish National alliance In
securing the Independence of Ireland.
The membership Initiation fee was
fixed at 1. wtth dues ot-lM wntw' per
quarter, and It was provided that 75
per cent, of t'he gross receipts of the
subordinate councils should be turned
Into tihe national treasury.
Some sharp criticism was made upon
the report by John FItzpatrick, or Jill
nois. a veteran, who said tha't he had
tramped 'barefooted while carrying
messages In his hat for the revolution
Ists of '4S, ami who contended that the
convention should form a government
then and 'Chore and establish a provi
sional Irlsilt legislature on American
soil. The report, ihowever. was adopt
ed wJ't'h half a dozen dissenting.
F.nglnnd Denounced.
The report of the committee on plat
form and resolutions was presented by
O'lNelll Ryan, of St. Louis, und was
unanimously adopted amlit great cneer
Insr. It denounced England and Eng
lish rule In Ireland In the most vigor
ous language, and then continued as
follows:
