Carlisle the Stalk
ln lloise.
"Washington, Feb. 26. The formal an
nouncement of Kichard Ulney's enndi
ducy for the presidential Humiliation
is the fore-runner of war1 In the ad
ministration cump. The followers of
John U. Carlisle are furious at what
they term Josiah Qulncy's audacity,
aiHl It is known that the president is
so worked up over the "February
boom" of his secretary of state thut he
will Ignore the yulney-Matthews com
bination in Massachusetts politics and
bolster up the fortunes of those who
train behind the standard of William
K. ltusselL
The t.t-governor's friends In this city
liuve not been Idle, and they have es
tablished a modus Vivendi with secre
tary Carlisle, promising, In return for
his inllueuce with the federal office
holders of the old Buy slate, to de
liver the Massachusetts delegation In
the Democratic national convention to
the Kentuckian, with the distinct un
derstanding that If he is successful
Carlisle w ill throw his support to Hus
Bell for the vice presidential nomina
tion. Of course, Governor Russell's
friends would prefer to see him nomin
ated for the presidency, but it Is a con
dition, not a theory, that confronts
.them, and they realize that without ex
terior help the Quincy machine would
sweep all before it in the state conven
tion. They recognize that entrenched
behind .the Olnejites have a great ud
vuntuge that can only lie neutralized
by Jtussell s control of federal pup, and
they huve made their alliance with
Carlisle, contident thut every branch
of the national administration will be
used as u lever to place the ex-governor
In the ascendancy. They count,
too, on Russell's popularity with the
masses of the party to pull htm
through, for no matter what the ma
chine men may say, he has demon
sturted that he has a remarkable hold
upon the voters of Mussuchusetts.
JEALOUS OF SECRETARY.
President Cleveland admires his sec
retary of state, but he realizes that If
olney Is nominated it will be becuuse
the secretary is considered the father of
the vigorous foreign policy In the Vene
zuelan boundary dispute and the jingo
istic attitude assumed by the adminis
tration in Its closing day. Now Mr.
Clevelund wunts the world to believe
uikI history to record that he alone is
responsible for this sudden and gratify
ing ubout face, and he is Hellish enough
to reap the harvest himself. He is by
no means satisfied thut he is out of it
us u. presidential possibility, and his
ear-trumpet has been put in good con
dition so that he may hear "the call of
the people." when It comes, demanding
thut he step Into the breach and "save
the country" for u third time. His so
culled friends, men of Hie Coudert
stump, have bolstered up his Pellet that
he is the only Democrat who can ccrvy
tlie country this year, and if that "call"
comes It is a hundred to one that Burkis
is willln'.
With affairs In such u shape the pres
ident resents Mayor yulncey's uttitude
In numing Olney, and his confidential
friends will send a round robin to all
the federal office holders In Massachu
setts calling upon them to fall In behind
AV'illiam R Russell.
It Is known here that ex-Congressman
O'Neill Is anxious to light the new
power In Massachusetts politics, and
he will have the hearty support this
time of men who have been his lifelong
political opponents. These men have
received nothing but kicks and cuffs
from Koston's mayor, and they are
thirsting for revenge. At any rate, you
may believe that Olney's candidacy is
frowned upon by the national Demo
cratic leaders, and will be vigorously
opposed by the great silver wing of thut
party. You are upon the verge of war
In Massachusetts, and while you may
gather up the local threads I will keep
you posted upon the developments of
the struggle in Washington. There is
considerable gossip here about the Re
publican big four for St. Louis, and I
have heard more than one declare for a
ticket which will contain the numes of
Hoar, Lodge, Ureenhalge and Wolcott.

ence of opinion regarding the advisa
bility of such a parade since ft was
first, proposed. '
Many people in a position to judge
Intelligently of the results and effects
of such a parade have opposed it from
the start. Still the arrangements for It
went on until Commander in Chief
Ivan N. Walker, of the Grand Army
of the Republic, put himself on rec
ord as being opposed to the parade
on the proposed lines.
Commander-in-Chief Walker, in an
Interview said that he had made him
self familiar with the sentiments of
the leading Grand Army men of most
of the important .cities of the country
and found they were opposed to the
parade.

ALL EYES WTTHE BOOTHS
The Outcome of the Salvation Army
Kcvolt Creates Interest.
CQL'KSE OP DEPOSED LEADERS
Ample Means to Equip a New Army
Have Been Offered .Mr. and
Mrs. Ballington Hooth Eva
Booth's Eloquence.
New York, Feb. 26. There Is a feel
ing of great uneasiness today among
the officers and soldiers of the Salva
tion army as to just what action the
late Commander Uulllngton Booth is
to take regarding a similar manage
ment In the I'nited States. Despite ex
Commander Booth's refusal on Monday
to lead a secession movement, when of
ficers and soldiers were enthusiastical
ly declaring themselves as willing and
desirous of following liltn and his wife
In such a policy, there is a well defined
rumor today thnt Ballington Booth and
Mrs. Booth will lead a religious move
ment on much the same lines as the
Salvation army with probably the uni
form of the worker as nearly the same
as that of the Tnlted States army as
the laws will allow.
Little groups of minor officers and
soldiers were today gathered 'in the
headquarters of the Salvation army in
West Fourteenth street discussing a
report that H.tKfO.OOu had been placed
at the dispobal of Bulllngton Booth If
he would start such an organization.
The story wus that yesterday a man
of large means, of thin city, had sent
word to ex-Commander Booth that he
would accept his note of hand for the
amount If he nnd his wife would lead
such a movement and make announce
ment of such Intention by next Saturday.-
The name of the man making the
offer Is1 not mentioned. That there is
reason to believe that some money If
not a million hits been placed at Bal
lington Booth's disposal, there seems to
be but little doubt.
One of the soldiers said toduy: "None
of us know just where we stand.
Whether we are with Clod and General
Booth, or with Bulllngton Booth and
his wealthy friends, seems to be a mat
ter of doubt."
STILL VNDECIDED.
Ex-Commander Ballington Booth, in
whose name the property of the Salva
tion army stands, has said that on Sat
urday he will either turn over the prop
erty or "make u stand." Just what he
means by "making a stand" Is not
clear, but Is thought to mean that he
may lead an independent movement.
When a reporter cnlled nt the home
of Miss Grace Dodge, of the Auxiliury
corps, today, it wus said she was not nt
home. The butler who opened the door
did not know whether she had gone to
Montelair. N. J., to see Bulllngton
Booth and his wife or not.
A large number of telegrams arrived
at the army headquarters for Miss Eva
Booth, all of which were said to be as
surances from officers in different parts
of the country of their loyalty
Two cablegrams were delivered at
the army head'iuatieis for Ballington
Booth. Their contents ore not known.
They were sent to the ex-commander
at Montelair. N. J.
It Is reported that between now and
Saturday -a meeting of theAuxlliary
corps will be held und resolutions sup
porting Ballington Booth passed and
also resolutions refusing; to give finan
cial aid to his successors.
COLONEL NICOL'S OPINIONS.
Colonel Nlcol, who last night ad
dressed a meeting of the Salvation
army In Philadelphia, and returned to
this city today, said:
"I have heard all the reports of
money being offered ex-Commander
Booth to conduct an independent
movement in this country. I know
nothing as to their truth, however. I
believe Bulllngton Booth to be a mun
of Integrity, and huve no doubt he will
turn over the army's property to the
proper authorities on Saturday. If it
should come to a fight in the courts, I
think the army would win, as Balling
ton Booth's title to the property is only
to hold tt in trust for his father, Gen
eral Booth."
Asked what proportion of the army
would in his opinion follow Ballington
Booth in an Independent movement.
Colonel Nlcol said that he thought that
the number would be Inconsiderable.
MISS BOOTH'S ELOQUENCE.
Miss Eva Booth, the temporary com
mander of the army said she was ar
ranging for a tour of the country to
make speeches in the leading cities.
The first, she said, would be made In
New York, but where and when she
could not at this time say.
Miss Eva Booth Is un unusually elo
quent speaker, and in England, where
her eloquence is known, when an an
nounce men t is made In advance that
she Is to sneak, the halls are crowded
beyond their capacity. It is said that
her father. General Booth, relies on her
eloquence to overcome the feeling in
Tavor of Bulllngton Booth. Miss Booth
has held every rank from lieutenant
up to her present position of commis
sioner. For years she was engaged In
slum work in London, where she is said
to have been very popular.
MAJOR GLEN RESIGNS-.
At tn headquarters of the army the
situation was not materially changed
from that of yesterday. The one im
portant change was the resignation of
Major Peter Glen and his wife.
Major Glen had been in charge of the
field department, and was one of the
most powerful officers In the work. The
couple today sent a letter to Commis
sioner Eva Booth, giving as their rea
son for resigning the belief that Com
mander and Mrs. Ballington Booth had
been dismissed without a Just cause.
Major Glen said today that Bnllington
Booth had In no way advised his resig
nation, and that his action In with
drawing was entirely of his own ac
cord. "Ballington Booth will not lead an
American army," was the answer Ma
jor Peter Glen made today to questions
about Mr. Booth's Intentions. "He has
received a number of ii. vltations to con
duct evangelical meetings and very
probably will engage in some such
work."
Mr. Glen also said that the published
reports that large sums of money had
been promised to Mr. and Mrs. Balling
ton Booth to carry on any work they
might desire, were In a measure true.
He said that a committee of prominent
citizens had made such offers, but who
they were he would not say. Officers
of the army have little fear that Bal
lington Booth will not turn over the
funds of the army In this country
which are all deposited in his name in
various banks, lie has already signed
checks for the current expenses of the
organizaations. Another account hns
been started in the name of Eva Booth,
to which all available funds are add
ed; but many of the contributions still
come in the form of checks "to the or
der of Ballington Booth." which must
be deposited In the accounts in his
name.

JACKSON CONFESSES.
Anothor Link in the Chain of Evidence
Against Pearl liryan's Murderers.
Cincinnati, O.. Feb. 26. Scott Jack
son, in an exciting Interview with a
reporter at the jail this morning con
fessed he had had impropre relations
with Pearl Bryan. This is the most
Important- confession of the prisoner
since his Imprisonment.
Ever since his arrest Jackson has held
out aguinst overwhelming facts that
his relations with Pearl Bryan were
absolutely honorable and that his sole
purpose in having her come to Cincin
nati and undergo a criminal operation
was to protect his friend. William
Wood. He now charges that Wood was
equally guilty with him. Wood, when
seen after the Jackson interview, un
consciously corroborated Jackson's
story except In the. matter of his
(Wood) confessing to having improper
relations with his second cousin.
Tomorrow Is the date set for the
hearing In police court of the cases of
Jackson and Walling.
ANOTHER TRACTION WAR.
The leellng of I'nrcst Among Philadel
phia Street Car Employes Has Not Been
Dispelled.
Philadelphia, Feb. 26. A renewal of
the agitation caused by the dissatis
faction of the motormen and conduc
tors of the Union. Traction company is
again threatened. Since the supposed
settlement of the differences between
the traction company and its employes
by the peace commission, which was
composed of representative citizens of
Philadelphia who were working for the
best Interests of all concerned, an un
dercurrent of unrest has been manifest
among the men of the company. They
claim that the Traction company has
not lived up to the agreement made
with the peace commission by both
sides and this dissatisfaction culminat
ed tonight in the presentation of the
grievances of the employes to the cen
tral committee of the Amalgamated
Association of Street Railway Em
ployes. The committee decided to refer
these grievances to the peace commis
sion, but what the outcome will be it is
difficult to forecast.
From various sources It has been
gnthered that another strike of the men
of the Traction company was contem
plated in May or June, but the im
patience of some of the employes In pre
senting their grievances at this time
may bring on another strike before that
time.
HORSES DIRT CHEAP.

of trotting stock, consigned by promin
ent breeders, at Madison Square gar
den, for $8,250 to James Butler, of New
York city, the president of the Fleet

not up to that exected by his owner.
Monroe Salisbury, who remarked after
the sale that the sum was just one
third his real value.
The speedy mare, Lesa Wilkes, with
a 2.09 record, whose Blre- was Guy
Wilkes and dam Hannah Price, was
knocked down to the highest bidder in
the afternoonfor $4,150, a price saldto
be much below the mare's worth.

as a rule of good quality, but the prices
were unusually small.

Allentown, Pa. Feb, 26. The theory
that Kline Frederick and Asher Barnes,
the Catasaqua boys w ho disappeared on

SILVER PARTY ANALYZED
Probability of a Republican Stampede
Is Emphatically Denied.
NO SILVER SEXTIMENT EAST
Representative Hantaan, of Montana,
Believes That the Majority of Ameri
can People favor Bimetallism.
The Situation About the State.
Washington, Feb. 26. Philadelphia
despatches are shadowing the possible
defection of the free silver Itepubll
cans and the nomination by them of
Senator Teller, of Colorado, or Whar
ton Baker, of Philadelphia, on a free
coinage platform, are. received by
leading Itcptibllcun members of the
house with Incredulity. The claim that
the sliver men hold the balance of
power In New York and Indiana. Is ab
solutely denied. There are said to be
certain sections of New York state,
where little groups of free silverites are
to be found, but they are widely scat
tered and not of sufficient Importance
to carry a stngln county election.
The Indiana Republicans who wero
spoken with feel certain that the mem
bers of their party who favor free
coinage will not desert the nominee of
the St. Louis convention. Mr. Steele,
who represents tho Marion distrtot,
said there would be no defection worth
speaking of. "We have always had to
beat." said he, "all the isms in In
diana, when we succeeded in carrying
the state, and It will be nothing new
to beat them tills time."
Mr. Johnson, of Indiana, took: the
same hopeful view. Excepting Schuyl
kill county In Pennsylvania, where
there still remain many members of tha
old greenback party, there Is not, ap
parently, any sentiment in Pennsyl
vania for free silver that, in the opin
ion of the Pennsylvania representa
tives will cut any figure in the ap
proaching campaign.
A PITTSBURO OPINION.
Mr. Palxell, of Pittsburg, says there
Is no silver sentiment In the state of
any consequence. He Is satisfied that
the action of the free silver men In put
ting their erase above protection will
have a tendency to drive out of thein
ranks intelligent Republicans everv.
where. Mr. Dingley, of Maine, the Re- Y
puoiican leader of the house, venture
the assertion that outside of the mining.
"u iew oi me adjoining states.
wie iree silver men In the north, east,
aim west are not worm considering. In
his judgment they will cut no figure in
the elections this year.
Nebraska Republi "ins insist that the
sound money eleme, i in that state Is
largely In the ascendancy. The Re
publicans are mainly for sound money
and from 16,000 to 20,000 Democrats, It
Is said, would vote the Republican
ticket If the Democratic party commit
ted itself to a declratlon favoring the
free coinage of Bilver.
Representative Hartman, of Mon
tana, who le a pronounced friend of
silver and one of the active members
of that minority, believes there is a
free silver sentiment in the east, but
he frankly added tha "it does not crop
up In the house." He has heard of no
plan by tho silver Republicans looking
to a holt if the platform at St. Louis be
not satisfactory to then. He believes,
however, that as between bimetallism
and the single gold standard, the ma
jority of the American people favor the
former. He goes even farther In say
ing that a majority of the voters would
support a 16 to 1 proposition because
that would produce genuine bimetall
ism. TO ARREST DISEASE.
