CLOSE VOTE BEING POLLED. The A. P. A. Feeling High and an “Al- leged” Assassin Takes an Al- leged” Shot at the Mayor. KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 7.—A cold, damp atmosphere was on hand when the polls opened this morning to the greatest and biggest city election held here for years. The issue is strictly A. P. A. and anti-A. P. „and the two principal tickets in the field, Republican and Independent-Demo- cratic, are made up of Republicans and Democrats indiscriminately. Henry C. Kumpt, ex-Republican Mayor, and a promi- ment banker, is leading the Independent- Democratic ticket, and is supported by a faction * Bel opposed to the A. P. 4 and James Jones, a Police Judge an well-known young lawyer, heads the Re- publican ticket and is receiving the solid support of the A. P. A.’s as their candidate. at S. Crosby is running for Mayor on the People's ticket and has but two others on the ticket with him running for small offices. The largest vote of years is being olled. A great deal of scratching is being one and it will be late before an inkling of the result will be known. The Australian system is working successfully and peace prevails at the different booths. loons generally have rigidly obeyed the closing order issued by Chief of Police Irwin last night. The vote is on Mayor, Treasurer, Auditor, Police Judge, City Attorney, President of the Upper House, four members of the Up- per and ten members of the Lower House, and one member of the School Board. At 12:30 indications were that the Kumpf was leading. The Tenth Ward, ooked upon as a Jones stronghold, was laimed by the anti-A. P. A.'s.§ Whatever the result, it is generally conceded that both tickets will run very close. In the Fifth Ward a negro, an Viet, was arrested for illegal voting. trouble was caused. M’KINLEY AND BRADLEY. They Ran a Close Race and Have a Contest at Louisville. Special to The Post-Dispatch. LOUISVILLE, Ky., - April 7.—Surprising developments came to-day in the count of the votes at the Republican primaries yes- terday afternoon and to-day. The morning apers gave the result of the primaries in avor of Bradley, giving him ninety-eight delegates, to McKinley’s seventy-three. There was confusion, it seems, in the count, and the McKinley people to-day claim the election by large odds. They say McKinley wins 123 delegates to Bradley's seventy-two. The Bradley people will make a contest and have employed Hon. Augustus E. Willson to represent them before the District Com- mittee, which meets Friday. They stin claim to have carried the district, al- though it is extremely doubtful. An A. P. A. Victory. BLOOMINGTON, III., April 7.—The elec- tion of members of the City Schaol Board was an exciting event. The women partici- pated in large numbers. The victorious ndidates are: Colvin Rayburn, F. M. Funk and Mrs. Stephen Akers. The result was ce , — as a victory for the organiza- On. TO THROTTLE SILVER MEN. QG— — Ex-Cengrossman Hurd Tells How Gold- dugs Hope to Win at Chicago. ex-con- No *Ex-Congressman Frank Hurd of Toledo, O., is at the Southern en route to Hot Springs, Ark., for his health. Mr. Hurd was a pioneer tariff reformer, and, though he hasn't been in public life since 1584, he has watched with keen in- terest the progress of the movement with the starting of which. he had so much to do and has not abandoned hope of seeing ab- solute tree trade in this country. “I am a goldbug in the strictest meaning of that term,“ said the distinguished Ohioan to a Post-Dispatch reporter. In fact, I con- ceive these two principles as the cardinal doctrine of Democracy. Protectionism is the hand-maid of an 8 monetary system. In other words, if we are to wall this country in by high tariff or any tariff at all—if the oceans are to be treated as seas of flame cutting us off from all the rest of the world—then we can establish and main- tain our own monetary system. In that case we could use silver, rags, or buffalo chips as the stand- . r oN of value. But if we are to keep abreast of civilization we must throw our ports open to the world and trade on free terms ith all the nations of the earth. To do that we must use the standard money of civiliza- . tion, which is gold. “I am not against silver per se, but am merely for a single standard of value or ‘measurement, and since gold is the more precious of ghe two metals I want to see this count financtal system kept on that basis, where Grover Cleveland has placed it. The time may come when silver will be the more precious metal, and if I am then alive I will be just as ardent a free silverite as I am now a ldbug. “However, fiatism in all its forms is a very alluring theory to shallow minds and it is hard to combat. For that reason I am d us as to the sort of colnage declara- tions that the Chicago convention WIII . am certain, though, that the ld men will control the Ohio conven- on, which, by the way, hasn't been called yet. By that I mean that our four delegates-at-large will be pronounced gold- bugs. As to the district delegates I am in- ad to believe that the free silverites about split even with us, or maybe get a small majority. If, however, the men control the State convention we adopt the unit rule and thus tie the of the silver men when they get to “If we can do this it may make us, mas ber the situation in the National Convention, Ohio’s solid vote added to that of w England, New York and Pennsylvania control d commit the party to the gold standard.

WASHINGTON, April 7.—The meeting of the Cabinet was to-day postponed without date owing to the sudden appearance of the measles in the President's household, little Esther Cleveland being stricken with it. This infantile disease has been almost epidemic in Washington for some time past and all precautions have not avalled to prevent its spread everywhere. Private Secretary Thurber's children have all had the disease in regular course, and to prevent the possibility of its transmis- sion to the White House, Mr, Thurber has absented himself from his own domicile for the past week and has made his resi- dence at the White House. However, this sacrifice was of no avail, for this morning the eruption suddenly appeared on little Esther n ee her as the first im at the White mous 190 prevent the spread ot the disease among the families of the Cabinet officers word was sent by telegraph to the various departments that there would be no meet- ing of the cabinet to-day, and then steps were taken to combat the disease in Mr. Cleveland’s household. Orders were — to Woodley, the yam ay s suburban resi- dence, to put the place mediate voception of the family, and Mr Cleveland, accompanied by all of the chil- dren, left the White House to make their home at Woodley until the disease has run its course. Little Esther was taken away in & separ- ate carriage in the hope of confining the disease as much as possible, and she will be secluded at Woodley from the other children. Meanwhile the President and Mr. Thurber will remain at the White 2 until the measles have run its course in the family and the mistress and children are ack, IN DEATH NOT DIVIDED. A Bachelor Brother and His Two Maid- en Sisters Die on the Same Day. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SYRACUSE, N. Y., April 7.—In an under- takers’ room in Pompey lie the bodies of John Van Brocklin, aged 80 years, and his two sisters, Eliza, aged 83, and Martha, aged 73. All three died in the same house on the same day of pneumonia. The three were taken ill almost simultaneously. Their brother called on them Saturday morning and found them ill. He summoned Dr. Dibble. When the physician arrived he looked at Eliza and felt her pulse. “This woman is dead,“ he said. John and Martha died soon afterward. At the time Eliza died Wm. Van Brocklin was sitting in the room awaiting the arrival of the physician, and neither he nor John nor Martha knew that Eliza’s life was ended until told by the physician. None of the three was ever married. They have lived together for seventy years. It is be- lieved that Eliza and Martha never in their lifetime saw a railroad train. For seventy years they remained close to Pompéy Hill. CASHIBR -BARNARD'S WAY S Seme New Developments Regarding His Transactions. ROME, N. Y., April 7.—There are some new developments regarding the transac- tions of George Barnard, cashier of the Fort Stanwix National Bank of this city, who committed suicide in January, after wrecking that bank. Mr. Barnard was ad- ministrator of a large number of estates and it is said the funds of some of them have been tampered with. One of the largest estates handled by him was that of George Clark, who was the largest land owner in the State of New York. Since the death of Mr. Barnard the attorney for the estate has made an investigation and has found that there is on hand with the Manhattan Trust Co. a balance of $3,305, with no vouchers to show where the balance has gone, and the account with the bank here is found to be overdrawn $1,400. What Mr. Barnard has done with all this money is not known. He pen aot a high liver and had no expensive abits. LIBUTENANT-GENBRAL, A Reselution Intended to Revive the Grade for Gen. Miles. WASHINGTON, April 7.—The House Com- mittee on Military Affairs to-day décided to report favorably to the House the reso- lution to bestow the rank of lieutenant gen- eral on Gen. Nelson A. Miles. The resolu- tion follows: “Resolved, etc., That the grade of lieu- tenant general be, and the same is hereby revived in the army of the United States in order that when in the opinion of the President and Senate it shall be deemed proper to acknowledge distinguished ser- vices of the major general commanding the army, rendered in the volunteer army dur- ing the late civil war, and in command of expeditions against hostile Indians in the frontier States and Territories,’ the grade of lieutenant general may be special- ly conferred: provided, however, that when the said grade of lieutenant general shall have been once filled and become vacant this joint resolution shall there fter ex- are and become of no effect; provided, 1 * in these resolutions ase e num - ficers of the army.“ ne The vote was 8 to 4 in favor of the reso- CUBAN RESOLUTIONS.

Three Men Sadly Regret the Hands of Sirens. Thomas Dugelby of Dallas, Tex., tray. eling car accountant of the Missouri, Kan. sas & Texas Railroad, stopping at the Planters’ Hotel, claims that while the hallway at 609 North Thirteenth street late Monday night he was suddenly seized by a negress, who robbed him of a pocket- book containing $40 in bills and eleven rail- road passes. The woman then ran back into the house. Dugelby complained to the police and Patrolmen Fitzgerald and Dalton searched the place and recovered one of the passes. Drucilla Summerhill, an inmate, wes ar- rested on suspicion. The police are now look- ing for Mary Jones, the proprietress, who left the house and remained away all night. Michael J. Burns of 231 North Thirteenth street claims that he was robbed of $86 while in a colored resort on Lucas avenue Monday night. O. A Gordon of 1631 Market stree, who keeps a news stand at Tenth street and Franklin avenue, claims to have been robbed of $100 in a resort at 1211 Chestnut street late Monday night. MARCUS WAS IN DEMAND Lis One-Eved Bride Wrested Him From His Colored Sweetheart. Marcus O’Connor is the most venture- some cuss matrimonially that ever sold newspapers. Monday afternoon he married Laura Dilly, the one-eyed newsgirl who sells papers at Sixth and Pine streets. This in itself would soare an ordinary man. Having repaired to the home of the bride, 32 Spruce street, preparations were being made for the brida] blow out when a dusky sweetheart of the groom, Lucy by name, got wind of the affair. Although her hair is kinky her heart is straight and her love for Marcus true. She hied herself to 325 Spruce street and getting on the blind side of the bride she poured her tale of love into the ears of the new-made husband. She upbraided him for his perfidy and even in sight of Laura, Lucy persuaded Marcus to elope. Down the steps they sneaked and were half way to Broadway when Laura discov- ered their absence. She chased them up the street and the colored sweetheart, find- 3 White wife on her trail, took to her heels. Then Marcus and Laura kissed and made up and returned to the house. When they got back, however, they dis- covered that the house had been robbed during their short absence. Laura claime:l to have lost $50, and it took several extra cans of beer to dispel the gloom. DEFAULTED IN MEXICO. And the Police Are Looking for N. L. Goodman in St. Louis. Chief Desmond’s men are on the lookout for N. L. Goodman, who is wanted for embezzlement in Allende, State of Coahuila, Mexico. A reward of $100 is offered for his apprehension. He was the Allende agent of the Wells Fargo Express Co., and occupied a similar position with the Mexican Inter- national Raltlroad. On Feb. 18 last he disappeared and with him went a large sum of money which be- longed to his employers. Goodman has relatives in Lexington, Ky., and is a United States Army deserter. He belonged to gy? A, 3d Cavalry, but de- serted at Camp Eagle Pass, Tex., in 1888. He is thought to be in this vicinity. THE MAYOR ON A TAU. He Is Raiding the Rural Districts fer Gubernaterial Delegates. His honor, the Mayor, Cyrus P. Walbridge, was at his office in the City Hall for only a few minutes on Tuesday. He tarried long enough, however, to state that he was do take a train later in the day for Canton, Mo., where he is booked to make a speech at a politcal meeting. His able and efficient secretary, Mr. Clarkson, could not say how long the Mayor would be absent beyond Wednesday. But he stated that, while not desiring to commit himself on a matter of so great weight, he was reasonably sure that the Mayor would not be in his office Wednes- day. SUBURBAN MAIL CARS, The Government Will Probably Pay Enough to Keep Them Ruaning. Although Charles H. Turner, President of the St. Louis & Suburban Railway, has served notice on the United StatesPostal Department that the electric railway serv- ice on his line would be discontinued after April 30 there is a strong probability that the service will continue. Negotiations are pending in Washington and it is thought a new contract will be made. Four years ago the service was in- augurated at Mr. Turner’s suggestion. It had never been tried in any city. He fixed a very low price on the service, with the understanding that should the experiment prove successful'the Government should pay an adequate sum for the service. It was successful beyond expectations, and the plan has been copied extensively in this and other cities. The government, how- ever, never increased the compensation and the work has been carried on at a loss. De Hodiamont, Wellston and Florissant and several other substations depend en- tirely on the Suburban for their mail, and the St..Louis postal officials are confident the government and Mr. Turner will agree on compensation before the present agree- ment expires.

John Riley, 29 years old, living at 1516 Biddle street, dropped dead in a drug store at Fourteenth and O’Fallon streets Tuesday morning. Riley had a headache and went to the pharmacy for medicine.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 7.—There is weeping and wailing among the so-called “swell set,“ owing to a whipping administered to one of their leaders by an actor. Nat Good- win met his enemy, Lorillard Kip, at an early hour yesterday morning in the cafe of the Hoffman House, and the meeting re- sulted disastrously to Mr. Kip. There is a long, tedious history to the war between Messrs. Goodwin and Kip. A wo- man was the cause of it. LoriNard Kip is the best known of the wealthy young men in the city. There has been more or less bitterness between him and Nat Goodwin since they almost came to blows in front of the Waldorf several months ago. Some- body told him a lot of tales about Kip on his return to this city. Sunday evening Kip and several friends were in the Hoffman House restaurant, when Goodwin arrived, escorting the wo- man that had caused the bitterness between the two men. When.Mr. Goodwin left the restaurant it was late, but he soon returned, and without making the slightest ado he ‘“‘sailed into’’ Lorillard Kip, landing a left and right swing on the jaw, followed by a straight right-hander on the bridge of the nose. Al this made young Mr. Kip extreme- ly Froggy.“ Like Ajax defying the lightning, Goodwin, with his hair standing upon end, defied the dudes,“ as he called them. One of Kip's companions, who poses as an athlete, made a bluff to reach Goodwin, but permitted himself to be securely held by a waiter who weighed about 90 pounds. A sporting man who was present gave Goodwin what is known as a “roasting’’ on general prin- ciples. In a short time quiet was restored and all hands were requested to leave the restaurant. Goodwin was on Broadway yesterday af- ternoon celebrating his easy victory over his rival, who, it is said, has retired to the seclusion of his home to await the disap- pearance of the discoloration of his eyes. LAWRENCE IN LINE. Elects Silver Delegates, Commends Gov. Stone, Denounces the Republic. Special to The Post-Dispatch.

Harley and J. T. More, all strong silver men, as delegates to the Sedalia Convention. The following res- olutions, were adopted without a dissenting vote: The Democrats of Lawrence County, in Delegate Convention assembled, declare that financial reform is the paramount issue in the present campaign and that the Democratic party in State and Na- tional Conventions should declare in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the pres- ent legal ratio of 16 to 1 into standard money, the same to be legal tender for all debts, public and private, without the aid or consent of any other country. That no bonds should be issued and sold by the Federal Government, on any pretext what- ever in time of peace. That no corporation should be authorized to is- sue money or control the volume thereof, but the money of the country should be gold, silver and non-interest bearing treasury notes, comimouly called greenbacks.

Daneri was a witness to tie Sight between one of his col- ored porters hd Daniel Rudd, a cab driver. The police] say that Randolph Payne, a porter in * 2 s saloon, fired the shot at Rudd, while! Rudd declares that the man who shot at him was Tom Stanton. At any rate, the bullet struck Daneri. The police pay Rudd, who is a son of By- ron Rudd, the livery man, Stanton and Payne were engaged in a game of dice in John Thomas Brady's restaurant in the rear of Daneri’s saloon, when an argu- ment arose and either Payne or Stanton chased Rudd out of the room and followed him over Twenty-second street to Phelan & Brewster's stable. Rudd ran into the back part of the stable and concealed himself in the bed of a wagon. The negro followed and found him. He drew a long-bladed knife from his pocket and would have stabbed Rudd before the latter could escape had not Lee Fulton, a porter employed in the stable, grabbed him from behind and dragged him out to the sidewalk, There the knife was taken away from him with the assistance of J. O. Chrisman, the driver of a mail wagon. It was not thought he had any more weapons and he was released with the order to leave the place. But he broke through the crowd at the door and ran back through the stable, carrying a revolver in his hand which he had taken from his hip pocket. Rudd had climbed out of the wagon by that time and when the negro saw him he fired two shots, neither of which took effect. Rudd ran out on the sidewalk and when the crowd saw the armed man in pursuit it scattered. When the negro reached the sidewalk he raised his revolver and shot three times at Rudd as the latter was running toward Twenty-second street. r One of the bullets struck Daneri, who had followed the men cut of the saloon. The wounded legislator went to a doctor’s office and then called a cab, which took him home. It is not thought that he is seriously injured. The negro then ran back through the stable and the back door and through the alley where he scaled a fence and reached Walnut street by passing through a yard. The police at the Four Courts were nofi- fied and a patrol wagon with four police- men and Sergts. Woodlock, Meehan and Byrnes went to the scene in a hurry, but neither Payne nor Stanton could be found, nor did any one know where they lived. James June, who was a witness to the shooting, was taken to the Four Courts, where he will be held to identify the man who held the révolver, if such a one is ar- rested. Rudi was also locked up, and on a second visit to the neighborhcod, Payne, Stanton and Fulton were taken in and locked up at the Four Courts.

This i w the only question at issue. And s the most important one. No * ici ace. to doubt that Missouri Dem- 5 9 8 ~~ wrats are overwhelmingly against the Administration's financial policy, and for the free colnage of silver at the historic ratio. The Sedalia Convention is certain to ratify and indorse the Pertle Springs platform and to commend it to the ac- ceptance of other Democratic States, as well as of Mississippi, which has al- ready adopted it as its owm The vital point now is the delegation to Chicago. The overwhelming victory of the free silver men, after a contest with a frac- tious minority which has lasted more than a year, will be rendered compara- tively fruitless if Missouri’s voice in the National Convention is made discordant by a divided delegation. To accomplish this is all that the Ad- ministration factionists now hope for. It is all that is expected of them by Mr. Cleveland and his Wastern advisers. They first tried bulldozing in order tb attain this. Now they aré appealing to the mercy of the victors. This appeal must not be heeded, any more than were the threats. Not in an- et to inflict personal humiliation pon anybody—but in the interest of the Demoeratic party and for the sake of a ~ Breat Democratic principle which has been impertilled by treachery, Missouri must send a solid free silver delegation to the Chicago convention. Te do less than this, after a Wetorious battle for it, would be fatyous and ignominous sur- ‘ der, It would itself be treachery to the party and to the cause. —, ——— A BREATHING SPELL FOR BOODLERS. y “The March Grand-jury concluded its en 1 labors and adjourned Monday without indicting any of the members of the Municipal Assembly for boodling or other corrupt practices. It was after several of the suspected parties, how- ever, with a sharp stick and kept some of them guessing at a lively rate.

Nobody is bound by these dickers and deals except the persons who make them. They are not made in the party's interest, but for purely personal and selfish advantage. The majority at Sedalia should pay no more heed to them than to any other ar- rangement between private individuals in which the party's welfare is ignored. ~ ol BEWARE OF FREE PASSES. The various railroads centering at Se- dalia have agreed upon a one fare round trip rate to and from the Sedaba Conven- tion for all delegates and alternates. This is one of the advantages of selecting a place for holding the convention that is reached by more than one line of railroad. For the Pertle Springs Convention, reached only by the Missouri Pacific, a similar concession was refused. As Sedalia is centrally located, the cost of going to the convention from any part of the State will not be burdensome, and where the delegate cannot afford to pay his own expenses he should be cheerfully assisted by his neighbors and fellow Democrats. He is performing a party service. and those to whom he is render- ing it will no doubt gladly afford help where it is needed. No delegate should accept-or travel upon a free pass, unless it is obtained for him openly by the party officials in his county. There is reason ta believe that the free pass is to be worked for all it is worth. It is the only resource left to Messrs. Phelps, Lehman and their associates. Defeated in all their other schemes, they are relying upon the free pass to enable them to accomplish something in the direction of thwarting the people's will at Sedalia. it is understood that Col. Phelps con- tinues to assert that he will beat Stone for delegate to Chicago.“ The free pass is his sole reliance for accomplishing this, because it is the only influence“ left him. In order to go as a delegate from his township to the county convéntion, he was compelled to accept free silver in- structions. His work against Stone and the silver leaders must be done under cover. Its chief instrument will be the free pass. No delegate should accept one from him. Any delegate who does accept one should be looked upon with suspicion and watched by his colleagues. ——_—_ o~- © WHO SHOT WEBSTER DAVIS’ HAT! Interest in Cleveiand’s action on the Cuban fesolutiows, in Harrison’s honey- moon, and in the outcome of next Thurs- days primaries has been eclipsed by an event of more burning import to Mis- ed | sourians. Every man, woman and child in the State is consumed with curiosity to know “Who shot Webster Davis’ hat.” Ever since Monday night, when “the young man from the Kaw with abund- ance of jaw” rushed into a meeting of Republican Kansas Cityans and pro- claimed that he had only a few minutes before sustained a serious wound in the hat, exhibiting a ghastly rent in his som- ‘brero in proof of the assault made with firearms on the most spectacular article of his wearing apparel, public opinion concerning the accuracy of Mr. Davis’ explanation of the occurrence has been split. He says an assassin shot him through the hat on his way to the meeting. This will be received as gospel truth by his admirers all over the State, and they will whoop up his gubernatorial boom with noisier fervor. Skeptical Democrats, on the other hand, and envious adherents of Maj. Warner and our “reform” Mayor turn up their noses and scoff at this story. They assert that Webster perforated his own hat either with a bullet or a conductor’s punch and that he did it for political ef- fect. In proof of this they declare that the hat was powder-burnt and that the ap- pearance of the holes in it shows conclu- sively that it must have occupied a pos! tion below its owner’s shoulders at the time it was pierced. Thus has a new and mysterious issue been projected into Missouri Republican politics that will not down until the ad- journment of the Springfield Convention: “Who shot Webster Davis' hat?“ — — . — e — AN OBJECT LESSON IN TIN PLATE. The growth of the tin-plate industry in the United States during the last two years emphasizes the superiority of a moderate tariff over a high protective one in increasing manufacturing prosperity. While the McKinley schedule of duties | was in existence the American Tin-Plate Co. at Elwood, Ind., was a four-mill plant employing 300 men, with a pay roll of $3,000. After an experience of a little over one year of the Wilson bill the same concern has been enlarged to a sixteen- mill, twenty-one-stack plant, employing 1,250 men, making 15,000 boxes per week, and its payroll is increased to $55,000. The other day the stockholders ordered its facilities to be expanded 15 per cent. Other tin-plate mills throughout the country show a similar growth. On the other hand, as a result of the 160 tin-plate mills now successfully op- erating in the United States, 250 mills are idle in South Wales, from which this country formerly received all its supply. In the year ending June 1, 1895, the Welsh manufacturers sent to this coun-- try 222,901 tons of tin-plate, out of a total export of 365,982 tons. So far this | year the proportion shipped to the United States is barely 50 per cent. of the above amount. a The superiority of a moderate over a high duty on imports could in no way receive more striking illustration. ee = “One by one the roses fall.” And the Francis boot-lickers all over the State are having a similar experien State Com- mitteeman John H. of Putnam; Thomas, of Gentry; B „ Of Saline; r ee ee ee Po As. ee ann * . c ; ! .

The Century Decides to Race the St. Louis Cycling Club. ‘SECRETARY KNAPP RESIGNS. Each Club to Name Twenty Men, From Which Ten Racers Will Be Selected. The St. Louis Cycling Club and Century Road Club of St. Louis, the crack bicycling organizations of this city, held their reg- ular monthly meetings last night. In the light of the coming inter-club road race be- tween these clubs and the much talked-of \dissension in the ranks of the Centurys, yesterday's meetings were of more than ordinary importance and were looked for- ward to with much expettancy by local wheelmen. Those who expected trouble and a square back down from the Centurys were disap- pointed. While the meeting at the corner of Leonard and Bell avenues was not what would be called harmonious, it certainly Was a unit on the proposition that the St. Louis Cycling Club should be given es hard @ road race as it lay in the power of the Centurys to give them. While the road race committee was reorganized and Ed Grath substituted thereon for E. A. Knapp, they were given explicit instructions to go @head and bring matters to a culmination. Mr. Knapp, who was Secretary of the Cen- tury and also their representative to the Associated Cycling Clubs, tendered his resig- nation as a member of the club. Paul Robyn was chosen to succeed Mr. Knapp as Secretary, while W. A. Shockley was appointed to represent the club in the As- sociated Cycling Clubs and Ed Grath will take Mr. — ’s place as a member of the Century Roa ace Committee. It was erroneously stated in a morning aper that the Century would ask the St. uis Cycling Club to make certain condi- tions as to the personnel of the riders who would take part in the race. The fact is that the number of riders, the distance, date, and all the preliminaries were settled by the clubs as was published in the Post- Dispatch at that time. Each club agreed to name twenty men two weeks before the date set for the race, from which ten would be later selected to ride. An embargo was placed upon “ringers” by a stipulation which says that neither club shall enter a representative who was not a member of said club prior to Dec. 1, 1895. There is no possibility of ringing in crack outsiders as was stated in a morning 2 he date of the race was set for June 13, and unless the clubs go out of existence before that time the race will take place as per schedule. Grath, Miller, Hurck and the other cracks who, it is alleged, were disaffected, express themselves as much pleased with the turn affairs have taken. They say they will — in condition to ride the race of their ves. Over at Thirtieth and Chestnut streets, the home of the St. Louls Cycling Club, a most enthusiastic meeting was held. As it was known that the fate of the inter-club race would be decided that night the atten- dance was very large. When the news that the Centurys had decided to race reached the Qycling Club a wild cheer of rejoicin and exultation went up. Members —— each other by the hand and waltzed around the rooms. Two or three of the more en- thusiastic jumped on their wheels and rode over to the Century Club-house to congratulate their prospective opponents. Tt was a night of general rejoicing in cycling club circles. The Centurys seem well satisfied with their work of last night and feel no mis- givings over the result of the race. “We have all to gain and nothing to lose, said John Hurck. The Cycling Club has deen building up its reputation for ten years. We are but a year old, yet, by the ney of this race we are now in the same class with it. If we lose we will still be second best; if we win we will be the whole thing, and I think we will win.“ The Associated Cycling 1 are making another effort to get 4 race track built at the Fair Grounds. A committee of the A. C. C. waited upon Secretary Aull of the Fair Association and explained their plans to him. Mr. Aull was favorably impressed and at the next meeting of the Board of — he will submit the proposition to em. 1 OBNOXIOUS RULE CHANGED. Touring Wheelmen Can Now Visit Canada Free of Cost. OTTAWA, Ontario, April 7.—The feeling among wheelmen created by the\re-enact- ment of old regulations governing tourists’ bicycles brought into Canada has prompted the Department of Customs to frame regu- lations to meet the case of bona fide tour- ists. Members of the League of American .Wheelmen may bring their wheels into Canada free of cost, providing that the heels shall leave the same port. This ge meets with the approval of the L. A. W., and will do away with that obnoxious regulation which now requires the payment ef entry when a tourist brings his wheel into Canada.

Von der Ahe and his apologists are prin- cipally basing their claims that the Browns will do better than last year on the fact that he has a large number of men under contract, Pray, take notice,“ says the boss, “that I have secured two men for every position. So you see if a man is dis- abled I will have somebody to replace him and the club will not be crippled. There- ney the club will finish in the first divis- on.“ ‘ This is magnificent reasoning and ought to convince anybody—nit. ese substi- tutes that Der Boss“ is prating about have had their hands full with the semi- rofessional clubs down in Texas; in fact, ave been beaten once or twice. Compare the Browns—the best team they can put in the fleld—with Baltimore, Boston, Cleve- land, Philadelphia, Chicago, Brooklyn New York or Pittsburg, and where will you land? These are the clubs they must play when the championship season begins and not a lot of third-rate minor leaguers. There are amateur clubs in St. Louis that rank with the Texas league clubs. As @ matter of fact, they are nearly all re- cruited from local amateur ranks, yet the fans are expected to believe that because the Browns can defeat such clubs by hard work they can finish ahead of six National League clubs. 4 ‘ Word comes from Texas that the mem- bers of the team are very much dissatisfied with Diddlebock’s management. What has made the boys sore is the splitting of the team up into two clubs to play in dif- ferent towns. They claim, and with some reason, that this makes the preliminary practice utterly valueless for developing team work, which every tyro knows is in- dispensable to the success of any club. At present part of the Browns are knocking about in one part of the Lone Star State and the rest in another. This is a disorganizing and senseless plan, but it was prompted by financial considera-~- tions, and that is what goes with the management, Two clubs playing in dif- ferent towns can draw more money than one club playing in one town, and that is what “knocks” with Chris every time. 80 far the financial reports sent in by Diddle- surprisingly good and show that the club is more than paying its way in the South. As long as this con- Unũes everything else will be satisfactory. * * The Rusie case is attracting considerable attention. Amos has hired a lawyer and the reserve rule will be tested in the courts. There is something peculiar in the situation and Freedman’s friends are insinuating that Brush is inducing Rusie to give all the trouble possible. For several ears past Brush has secured the big fel- low's signature to a New York contract when others could do nothing, but since his little tilt with Freedman the Cincinnati magnate has not been pulling for the métropolis to any great extent.

ATHENS, Greece, April 7.—American athletes found no competitors worthy of their steel at the first revival of the Olym- plan games, which took place in the famous arena where Greek met Greek in athletic contest more than 3,000 years ago. Homer has sung in immortal verse of the athletes who made Heles famous in ancient days, but never did the blind bard hear of finer phys- ical specimens than the men who to-day represented the great Transatlantic Repub- lic in contest with the great athletic nation of the modern world. Impressive ceremonies and a tremendous attendance of over 80,000 people lent dig- nity to the opening of the old Olympian Stadium. Athens and the surrounding cities were decorated in beautiful fashion and were thronged with visitors from all parts of the world. King George of Greece made the dedi- cating speech and took possession of the Stadium in the name of the Greek nation. Every endeavor was made to rekindle in the breats of the people the patriotic and athletic fires which burned so strongly in the hearts of the Hellenes in the days of Fpaminandos and Lysander. From an athietic standpoint the games were not of much account. They were too easy for the Americans. The repre- sentatives of Princeton and the Boston Athletic Association were in very fine con- dition and full of confidence. Their compet- itors of various nations showed very plainly by their action that they were afraid of the prowess of the American athletes. The result showed that their misgivings were not groundless. While yesterday’s contests were but pre- liminary trials and as such did not decide anything definitely as to the final result of the various events, it is not too much to say that the Americans will win out easily. In yesterday's contests the first heat, 100 meter (109 yards) dash was won by F. A. Lane of the Princeton team in 122-5s. Szo- koly, a Hungarian, was second. In the second heat, T. P. Curtis of the B. A. A. beat Cholkondglis, a Greek, in 12 4-5s. In the third heat, T. E. Burke of the B. A. A. beat Ogman, a German, in the very good time of 11 4-5s. In no case did the Ameri- cans have to extend themselves. Capt. Robert Garrett of the Princeton team surprised the spectators by beating the Greeks at their own game, throwing the discus. ; H. B. Jamison of Princeton won the 400 meter (440 yards) dash from Osman, the German representative. In the second of this distance, T. E. Burke, B. A. A., won from Gemetin, the English crack. The games will be continued to-day. . BREWERS ON BIKES. Workers in the Big Malt Factories Have Taken to the Wheel. If there yet remains in St. Louis a person cynical enough to doubt that the bicycle has become a widespread article of every day necessity, a trip to South St. Louis in the early hours of some fine spring morn- ing will quickly disabuse his mind of such fallacies, and bring him around with a sudden jerk to a realization of the fact that the wheel is no longer a fad, or simply an item in the amusement of the leisure classes, but has been taken up as an econ- omical and valuable ald by the work-a-day 8 * ; mh any of the streets leading to the big South Side breweries an observer can on any morning in the week witness the unique sight of the brewers going to work astride of wheels.

It was not far enough to suit some of the boys, so they determined to make it longer by going to House’s Springs. Six of them made the trip all right, but Ed Goedde’s tire sus- tained a very bad cut, and he was forced to walk almost the entire distance from House’s Springs to Valley Park, about seventeen miles. He pushed his wheel all the way, too. The 2:30 Club made a trip to Clayton Sunday and took dinner there. It was 3:30 p. m. when they finished dining. and as they wanted to see the foot ball game at South Side Park, a rapid move was neces- sary. Will Coburn set the pace for his three brothers, Fred Hattersley and about six riders. Their time from Clayton to the Blair statue, four and one-half miles, was 12m. 5086. The roads were far from rfect, too. When they arrived at South ide Park they were as fresh as if they had just started. Capt. Rogers and Tom Dempsey of the Centurys made a disastrous attempt at a century yesterday. They rode a tandem and tried to make their 100 miles over the Ballwin-Bonhomme course. Every con- ceivable especies of ill luck followed them. Punctures, loose nuts, broken chains and a score of other annoyances to which the wheelman is subject put them out of the business before half the distance had been covered. A Post-Dispatch representative rode over the Fair Grounds road race course yesterday and found it in excellent condition. The Fair Grounds certainly is an ideal place for road racing. Spectators can view the con- testants over one-half of the ourney. Those who have struggled to see the Forest Park road race winners finish will appreciate this. Base Ball Notes. Phil Reilly, 2723 Dickson street, would like an engagement with some good club. He played in the Minnesota League last year. Smith Academy beat the High School yes- terday, 2 to 14.

Manager Jake Bere of the Wassermans will take his team to East St. Louis next Sunday to play a game with the East St. Louis team. Sporting Notes. Chief Harrigan refused to allow Corbett to box Monday night, and that feature of the show will have to be eliminated for the rest of the week. Dick O’Brien of Boston defeated Doc Payne of Cleveland before the Eureka Ath- letic Club at New York Monday night. Paghe was put out in the second round. Arthur Bradley, one of the principdls in the fatal ope t at Lawrence, Mass., last Saturday night, has been arrested and held for the grand-jury under $4,500 bonds. Charges of manslaughter and prize-fighting have been preferred. It is semi-officially announced that the quadrungular boat race between Harvard, Cornell, Columbia and Pennsylvania will be rowed at Saratoga on June 2%. Columbia held out for the Poughkeepsie coursé,. but was overruled by the other colleges. Jackson W. Showalter-of New York won the last game and the match by defeating Emil Kemeny at chess in Philadelphia Mon- day. The deciding game was a Ruy Lopez, — Kemeny resigned after the thirty-third move. The final score is: Showalter, -7; Kemeny, 4; drawn, 4. Lorin F. Deland has resigned as coach of the Harvard foot ball team, and Bert Waters elected in his place. Deland has been recognized for many years as one of the greatest foot ball strategists in the country, and the crimson rooters are disconsolate over losing him. ~ GRAIN CONGRESS.

MADISON, Wis., April 7.—While at prac- tice last evening, a mile out on Lake Men- dota, a squall] struck two shells manned by oarsmen of the University of Wisconsin crew. One man was drowned and two others are in a critical condition. The dead: JOHN DAY, Janesville, Wis., only son of Mrs. Leanette Day. The injured: LESTER STREET, Dixon, III. 8 C. MecoN VILLE, La Crosse, 8. The boats started out for a short working trip for the men. Within a few moments after the boats left shore the wind began to rush and just as one of the boats was about to make the turn it was struck by the squall. In this boat were P. J. Odea, the assistant trainer, Day and McConville. Water began to rol] over the stern of the boat and ore the men proceeded far it was swamped. The men succeeded'in turning it over and in getting on top of the shell. They were soon washed off by waves. Day, who could not swim, failed to regain his hold and was wned.

Melba’s Juliette Was Something of a Disappointment. LE — JEAN DE - The season of grand opera under the direc- tion of Messrs. Abbey and Grau began last evening when Gounod’s version of Romeo and Juliet’’ was sung at Music Hall by the following cast: Julletttse 44 Mme. Melba 60. ...e eee eee seep —— Pee ae Mlle.

Rinaldini ee ee eee eee M. Jean De Reszke The audience was disappointing in point of size, but it was a brilliantly dressed gathering, and of a discriminatingly appre- clative turn. The applause was earnest and at some periods enthusiastic, though in the interest of truth it must be said that the lifting of the curtain after the first act was an excess of courtesy; considering the feeble demand for it. However there was ustification for every subsequent raise. The transcendent merit of the production impressed itself on the*audience and every climax brought forth a storm of applause, the “Bravos!” of the learned few who ap- prove in the vernacular of the Continent, mingling with the clapping of the many who stick to the Occidental commenda- tion of the glad hand.“ The auditorium was uncomfortably cold. Apparently no heat had been turned on, — 4 the audience shivered every time the lifting of the curtain gave the air currents an excuge to readjust themselves. It was hard to become invested with the true Vero- esea_spirit and imagine a moonlit garden 1 balmy Italy. while pneumonia microbes and bronchitis bacilli were fattening and ravening in the real, tangible atmosphere, But the crowd that had assembled to hear @ master composer's lyrical version of the love story par excellence of all the ages in- terpreted by artists of such celebrity, reck- ed little of physical discomforts. The final drop of the curtain was not until after 11 o'clock, but there were few departures be- fore then. It was Jean de Reszke’s night. This su- perbly gifted artist sang the role of Romeo with an intelligence and a passion that were accepted as perfect. He was in magnificent voice, and there was never a sign of hesi- tation nor an appearance of effort as he went to che high notes. There was a sugges- tion of latent power in his vocalization which was a revelation to those accus- tomed to the struggles of weaker singers 60 absorbing as to exhaust all their ener- gies and leave no strength for acting. M. de Reszke acted the part excellently. Mme. Melba’s admirers were rather dis- appointed in her Juliette. So finished and capable an artist could not but sing the art admirably, but to those who had seen — in the role under more inspiring condi- > tions it seemed that she lacked fire,aer’s _ enthusiasm. iter In the first act as the to whom love is an instinct ratwer than a knowledge she was at her best. She in- vested the solo, The Fair D of Youth with a tenderness and girlish loneng inex- h ing, but iny-ne later scenes (egy By meee s burst into full where the bud of passion Bower che aid not —— high standard erself. 4 — 4 .— de Rfszke’s Frere Laurent Was a suggestion „Ather than an illustra- tion of the pow Of this giant among lyric artists. The #0norous tones of his noble voice rose r and deep and strong as the thunder a church organ, and could be hear Atrident but melodious above the nious din of the orchestra. It was a arce of regret that he had not more to do. M. Plancon is another singer of great power, and he also knows how to use his strength with effect and delicacy. His Capulet was in every respect satisfactory. The Mercutio of Gounod is not the charm- ing wit of Shakespeare, but M. Be Vries Sang the role in a most enjoyable manner, fixing himself firmly in the esteem of the audience by his rendition of the Queen Mab solo. Stephano is a creation of the iibret- fist, whose counterpart is not to be found n the original tragedy. He is Romeo's valet, and is probably intended as a substi- tute for the cautious Peter of the play. He is a lightsome rouse with a fine sense of the dignity of the house of Montagu and a cheerful willingness to take issue with any 4 owning allegiance to the Capulats. It is this spirit in the lad which brings on the recontre ending. in the slaying of Mercutio and Tybalt and the banishment of Romeo. Miss Clara Hunt sang the part There is a solo in it—one gem, in melody, of the score—which Miss Hunt rendered in a style that suffered nothing by comparison with the work of other artists in the cast. Mile. Bauermeister sang the role of Ger- trude, the nurse, in her habitually conscien- tious manner. The Tybalt of M. Maugulere was worthy of a member of the company. The opera was put onin the style for which Messrs. Abbey and Grau are re- nowned. Every detail of costuming and scenery was correct, and the chorus was perfect in training. The orchestra, con- ducted by Sig Bevignani, got its share of _commendation, The symphony with which the last act is opened was a grand bit of orchestral work. The ensemble work of the company was magnificent. Bizet’s opera, Carmen,“ will be sung to- night by the following cas: men.. Mme. Emma Calve Frasqu ita ö Mlle. Baue meister Mercedes ......... „Mme.

Francis Wilson, the nimble-legged and piping-voiced comedian of comic opera, put on a new production Monday night at the Grand Opera-house. It is entitled »The Chieftain.”’ Mr. Wilson has had a great suc- cess with it in the East and he showed here ust why he has been so fortunate. It is Tull of beautiful music and but for the dreariness of the libretto at times it would be an unusual opera. The music of The Chieftain” is the work of Sir Arthur Sullivan and there are in it many touches of that genius which made the distinguished English composer so successful in his collaborations with Gilbert ten or fifteen years ago. While none of the airs are catchy, there is a freshness and vigor about the whole score, with occasional tuneful interpolations, which render the musical ensemble satisfactory, So much, however, cannot be said of the book. Mr. C. Burnand, editor of the London Punch, is the gentleman who is re- sponsible for it, and while the plot ts good and the situations ever and anon really judi- crous and amusing, there is lacking that spontaniety and sparkle so characteristic of American librettos which are perhaps alt ther not so meritorious as this. There are few really bright lines in it. Mr. Wilson, however, takes hold of what him and by a deft handling of hands, voice and face, he succeeds & great many things very funny, ks hard from the moment : stage * — cena ness’ immeasura than Mr. Burnand’s tintinabu. is n -_ — 3 1 5 oa * 3 * * eof * at eo. given the opportunity for picturesque tuming of the chorus and scenic display. The star’s part is that of an English tourist, whom the band insists on making their chieftain and marrying off to the deserted wife of their former king. In this situa~- tion with the consequent matrimonial com- plications lies the comedy of the piece. The supporting company is a strong one. Mr. Wilson seems to have paid particular attention to the obtainment of singers and the choruses are all admirably rendered. Miss Lulu Glaser, as fascinating a soubrette as ever danced over the boards, was badly cast in the role of an English lady. She developed a surprisingly good voice, which made up in part for the winsomeness lost with the acquirement of dignity. Mr. Bhys Thomas, as the Count, and Mr. Joseph C. ron as Sancho, were both in excellent voite, and other members of the a ae deported themselves well. : Chieftain’’ will be produced until Tuesday, when The Merry Monarch” will be put on. The only matinee this week will take place Thursday, owing to the grand opera engagement. RECEPTION T0 SATOLLI. Great Homage Will Be Shown the Car- dinal by St. Louisans. Great preparations have been made for tthe reception of Cardinal Satolli to St. Louis. The distinguished churchman will arrive in the city at 6:50 o’clock Tuesday evening, and every effort is being made by the Catholics of this city to make the oc- casion a most memorable one. Monday evening Archbishop Kain, Frs. M. W. Tobyn, James McCaffrey, James Bourke, James J. McCabe and Joseph Schaeffers, Brother Paulian and R. C. Ker- ens, Jr., left for Cincinnati in the private car of Hon. Richard Kerens, which had been placed at their disposal. On the re- turn the Cardinal will occupy quarters in the car. Another large delegation left Union Sta- tion at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon to meet his eminence at Carlyle, III. This delegation numbered fully 300 persons and was con- veyed in a speciai train of six cars. The train was decorated with United States flags, the Cardinal colors and the Papal colors. This delegation is headed by thirty-five priests. With them is the Christian Broth- ers’ College Band of thirty-five pieces; the Presidents of the forty-nine conferences of the. Society of St. Vincent de Paul; twenty-four members of the Marquette Club; representatives of the Knights of Father Mathew; Presidents of the local branches of the Catholio-Knights of Amer- ica and laymen from each parish in this diocese. At the Union Station the noted visttor will be taken in charge by the reception committees and escorted to the Archiepis- copal residence on Lindell boulevard, where Cardinal Satolli will rest, preparatory to the round of duties devolving upon him during his stay. ; BIS OLD FRIEND “HAC,” Green B. Raum Sees a Possibility of Me- Kinley Being Slaughtered. Gen. Green B. Raum, who was Pension Commissioner during Pres‘dent Harrison's administration, arrived in St. Louis Tues- day morning and registered at the Southern. | Though he says he is here on purely priv- ate business, he thinks it probable thas he may get around among the prominent local Republicaus before returning to his home in Chicage. | In reference to the National situation, he said to a Post-Dispatch reporter: “There is no doubt tha?

In fact, Mac seems to be certain of getting at least a plurality of votes on the first ballot. Whether he will get a ma- jority remains to be seen. “One thing that must be taken into ac- count is the excellent quality of the presi- dential timber now before the people. The country is to be congratulated on the char- acter of the men who have announced them- selves as candidates. Though I think Mac is at present by far the strongest man in the field, I have seen enough of National conventions to know that no man would be warranted in wagering that the man from Ohio will be selected as the party can- didate. I think that if he does not get a majority of the votes on the first ballot, or at least on the second or third, he will nos get the nomination. “Just who would be named if Mac should be turned down is difficult to conjecture. One thing is certain, though. Harrison will not be in the field. Harrison is a man of character and absolutely sincere in all his utterances. He has spoken and his decision is final. “Personally, I do not believe the party could put up a stronger or more able can- didate than Gen. Harrison. He is without a doubt the most accomplished all round man in the United States. Physically and men- tally he is still splendidly fitted for the Presidency. Still he has said that he dees not want the nomination, and he means what he says. “The National Convention will probably be one of the most interesting and, per- haps, the longest ever held since the birth of the Republican party. “It looks like nobody but McKinley now, but in 176 it looked like Blaine, and in 1880 it looked like Grant. Hayes came to the convention of 1876 at Cincinnati with only 49 votes behind him, yet he was nominated easily. “I have been a delegate to a number of National Conventions, and I speak adviged- ly when I say it is not impossible that the McKinley people will vote for somebody else when the supreme moment comes.“ THEY FOUGHT WITH WHIPS. Peculiar Duel Between Italians Whe Loved the Same Girl. Special to the Post-Dispatch. FRANKLIN, N. J., April 7.—Two Italians known as No. 4 and No. 18 caused much ex- citement near this place yesterday by fight- ing over a girl of their own country, with whom both were in love. The fight was a peculiar one. The two men were stripped to the waist and their left hands and arms were strapped to their sides, while a rope about 8 feet long, which was tied around their waists, prevented the fighters from running away. A glove was put on the right hand of each man and to each was given a small bamboo whip. When the signal to begin hostilities was 1 the men began to belabor each other, or five minutes the fight was kept up, until blood poured from their wounds. 4 finally threw down his whip, which was an acknowledgment of defeat. The refer- ees and witnesses, numbering 100, then made both men shake hands. Then the fighters and their acquaintances repaired to the — ary 1 ovens, can was called into n. 0. and th | married this week. A cor JACKSON'S TRIAL, The Hearing Has Been Postponed Till Tuesday, April 21 NEWPORT, Ky., April 7.—Scott Jackson, the alleged murderer of Pearl Bryan, was before Judge Helm to-day for trial. Upon application of his attorneys the Judge post- poned the hearing until Tuesday, April 21. As Jackson was leaving the courttroom he passed in front of a woman sitting in the front row. of seats. He looked down at her smiling, when the woman ddenly de- livered a vicious kick at the prisonér, and No. . ARMOR TALKING THROUGH HIS. HAT When He Gives Out That Farmers Will Have Dollar Wheat. SO SAY ST. LOUIS GRAIN MEN. The Chicago Millienaire Said to Be “Long” and Anxious te Unload Several Million Bushels. The quoted interview with P. D. Ar- mour, the Chicago millionaire meat packer and grain speculator, telegraphed from Chicago, in which he states that dollar wheat is a possiblity of the near future, has created much comment in local grain circles. The general opinion seems to be that Mr. Armour has permitted himself to be inter- viewed preparatory to putting his large holdings of wheat on the market. It is also stated that whenever Mr. Armour makes a prediction the market usually takes a contrary turn. Armour is believed at this time to be a heavy holder of wheat and the St. Louis trade is of the opinion that he wants to get rid of it at the best prices obtainable. A Post-Dispatch man talked with a num- ber of the big speculators with a view to ascertaining their views of the statements made by Mr. Armour. H. F. Langenberg of Langenberg Bros. & Co. said: Nobody can tell anything about the situation at this moment and for that reason I should prefer not to express an opinion that I may have to explain later on. David Block of Block, Dean & Co. said: “I guess Mr. Armour has a good lot of wheat on hand that he wants to dispose of. I see nothing in the present conditions to jus- tify his prediction of $1 wheat. I have felt bullish on wheat all the time, but I am forced to aeknowledge that the prospects for a good crop are of the best. cannot, however, tell until the crop is actually har- vested. There is always the possibility of drought, disease, wet harvests, etc., but I do not expect any of these contingencies. We are certain to have good enough crops to put $1 wheat out of the range of prob- abilities. I am informed that there was lit- tle plowing done in the Dakotas last fall. They are only now beginning to plow there and it is near seceding time.“ A representative of the Pfeffer Milling Co., Lebanon, III., said: We have a 600- barrel mil] and during the week have made twenty-four cars of flour and have sold but one of them. I see nothing in this to justify Armour’s prediction of $1 wheat. When there is no sale for flour there can be no heavy advance in wheat. It seems to me that Mr. Armour must be a heavy ‘long.’ * Redmond Cleary said; “Mr. Armour’s prediction may mean something. With his heavy holdings of cash wheat and his money, I believe that he could put it to $1 if he wants to try it. Chicago winter wheat has been going out rapidly and get- ting scarce, and it may yet go to $1, though it is not probable. No. 2 soft red cash wheat sold on east side tracks Monday at 74 cents.“ Oswald Graves said: “Armour owns the principal part of the cash wheat in Chicago and he may be able to chalk up May to his figure, but I do not believe he can do it on futures. The public has been fooled so often on this kind of a thing that they are not apt to bite again merely because somebody is interviewed. It simply looks to me as if Armour was a heavy ‘long’ and intends to put his holdings on the market.“ t E. C. Catlin of the Brinson-Judd Grain Co. said: Armour is liable to make such statements as he is quoted in if he happens to be ‘long’ five or ten million bushels, as he is reported to be. He is said to have been a heavy seller at top prices Monday. The sup- ply, however, is short, both here and in Europe, and the seaboard clearances are short. Wheat will be higher, but it looks more to me like prices would remain in the seventies than that they will get to 31.“ President C. H. Spencer of the Mer- chants’ Exchange said: I see no legit!- mate conditions to warrant Armour’s pre- diction of $1 a bushel wheat. If gossip is correct Armour has been a bull on wheat for the past three years, and I believe that he has a larg@ interest in the mar- kets at the present time. Crop condl- tlons west of the Mississippi are unusually favorable for the coming crop, though it is true that in Ohio and Indiana, two of the most important winter, wheat producing States, the conditions -are very low and there are some reports of damage in Mis- sourl. Present prices make wheat the highest food product we have, but then there is speculation in wheat and none in anything else.“ W. B. Kennett of the Francis Commis- sion Co. said: Armour said the same thing last year about this time and soon after wheat went all to pot. His opinion is worth no more than that of any other in- dividual. If statistics are to be believed higher prices for wheat are a legitimate prediction, but statistics are notoriously unreliable. They are now making predic- tions on the growing crop about which they can tell absolutely nothing. Ig my opinion interviews like that with Mr. Ar- mour count for little.“ Notwithstanding the statements to the contrary as quoted above wheat showed a strong bullish tendency in St. Louis Tues- day morning. The Chicago market, which usually sets the pace for all speculative markets, was closed Tuesday and St. Louis took her place as the guide. The opening for May was 62%c and at 9:37 a. m. it sold at 64%c, an ad- vance of 1%c. This sharp advance was un- doubtedly caused by the fact that the St. Louts market was largely oversold. The majority of St. Louis traders have been bearish. They believed the conditions good for a large crop of winter wheat and that this market was so handicapped by its stock of No. 2 hard winter, for which there is apparently no demand, that they sold heavily and boldly. The advance caught them short and in getting out the market was forced up. : It is said that pare are only 122 in the St. Louis pit Who are wheat to any extent. One is John T. Milil- ken and the other Amadee B. Cole. E. B. White and W. L. Green, both exporters, have been bullish, and it is understood that their customers are all “long. CHARFEE OF NEBRASKA.

PAID BEY: a Heavy Load, But the Little Fellow Never Flunked. The quiet neighborhood beneath the eaves of the Anheuser-Busch brewery witnessed more excitement Sunday afternoon in the payment of an election bet than it has seen since Mr. Anheuser opened up the faucets of the brewery to his neighbors one day thirty years ago. Fully 2,000 persons saw a small, frail man roll a blacksmith weighing 263 pounds around the block in a wheel- barrow. Over a month ago Nicholas Linz, who conducts a coal office in that vicinity, bet Henry Steucher, the heavyweight smithy, that Koenig would not be elected to the School Board. Whichever lost the wager it was agreed should wheel the other around a block in one of Steucher’s wheel- barrows. Linz lost and the date for the payment of the wager was fixed as Sunday, It Was April 5. Articles of agreement were drawn up and when they were finished it had been mutually decreed that every time Linz up- set his load he would have to purchase a keg of beer and that if he got his load at the journey’s end, no matter under what circumstances, Steucher would purchase five kegs of beer. At 2 o’clock in the afternoon there was a great crowd about the corner of Lemp av- enue and Pestalozzi street: That was the starting point. There was a brass band in attendance and Joseph Schlag carried a flag in front of the wheelbarrow. Little Mr. Linz grappled with the handle bars after Steucher had seated himself and the band struck up “Tramp, Tramp, Tramp; the Boys Are Coming.” But Lins no more than lifted the load when over it went and Steucher’s 263 pounds of anatomy rolled across the landscape. The crowd went wild —a keg of beer! Again the procession started, the mob followed and the 123-pound coal-dealer got as far as Lynch street with his burden when Steucher fell out of the conveyance again and the crowd in its exuberation over the joy of anticipating anéther keg of beer sent up a shriek that split the calm Sunday atmosphere for blocks. . Then the march was continued, this time west on Lynch ‘street in the direction of Salina, but poor Linz stumbled over a loose brick and he and his load -both made in- roads into the dust of thé street. The hap- piness of the mob could no longer be kept n reasonable bhounds—three kegs of eer! Appropriately the band played “all is not lost.“ (except the piece has a German name). Little Linz rubbed the great heavy drops of perspiration from his brow and resumed his task, this time in his shirt sleeves. At the corner of Salina street there was another fall and another keg charged up to the losing Mr. Lenz, and a skinned elbow was received by the corpulent load. But there was no discouragement, for the mob urged Linz on—perhaps in the hope that he would again fall, but the loser wiped his hands in the dust vigorously, grabbed the handles with a vengeance, gfit- ted his teeth in determination and road Steucher the other two biocks, to Lemp avenue, in safety. , Down Pestalozzi street was the home stretch and the band played The Conquer- ing Hero Comes.“ Women raised the up- stairs windows in their homes and cheer- ed the men along as well as the mob that crowded the streets below. But the joke was when some person who wanted to appreciate the quietness of East- er Sunday rushed into the Second District Police Station and excitedly told Capt. Keeble that a mob was trying to lynch a man in front of Schlag’s place at Lemp avenue and Pestalozzi street. A patrol wagon loaded with policemen went tearing to the scene and as it broke through the crowd with its deafening gong the mob gave a moan in fear that the anticipated carnival of beer should be stopped. When the police saw what the excitement really was about they drove back to the station. When the wheelbarrow had returned to the starting point the erowd had possibly increased to 3,000 pers Then, the beer was bought and those who were there said that there was never a livelier night in South St. Louis than that of last Sunday. DR. WAIT IS WROTE. The Coroner Talks About the Men Who Oppose His Claim. Coroner W. J. Wait this morning received Official notice from City Counselor Marshall of the injunction proceedings prayed for by the Taxpayers’ League to prevent pay- ment of his—Dr. Wait’s—claim. The Coro- ner will therefor appear in the Circuit Court with his attorney, John D. Ellis, and make himself a party to the suit. Dr. Wait was in his usual amiable mood. The action did not seem to phase him in the least. My bill,” be said, “ig a law. It is a city ordinance, and if it is not valid, then none of the ordinances under which the city’s welfare is preserved are valid. I fancy I obtained the relief fairly and be- lieve it is due me.” The Coroner then proceeded to give his opinion of those opposed to him. Said he: Haeussler is worth $250,000..I received warning through the press over a week ago that he intended attacking the bill, but I have not seen fit to call on him. felt that if I was entitled to any of the money I was entitled to all. J also notice that my old time friend, William E. Fisse, of School Board fame, who was responsible for delaying the At- kinson contest for about four months at great cost to the city and myself, but of mutual benefit to himself and Dr. Atkinson who is also interested in the non-payment of this claim, is pushing the proceedings against me. „1 also notice that the President of the Civic Federation, Mr. Cabanne, has re- signed and announced the Federation to be a failure, that the treasury of the afore- said Federation was somewhat embarrassed and that there was a proposition that pub- lic spirited citizens should contribute $10 each annually into the coffers of the Civic Federation. This money could be spent only in the employment of attorneys, It is clear that Mr. Haeussler and Mr. Fisse know their business. “The city will have lost very little by my occupancy of this office, as my books will show that by careful and economical administration I have saved the city over $2,000 this year.“ ONE OF A THIEVING GANG. “Skinny Gilson” Caught While Try- ing to Dispose of Stolen Property.

Their Feeling One of | tment, Rather Than Bitterness. Special to The Post-Dispatch. OMAHA, Neb., April 7.—Ex-Goy. Saun- ders has been interviewed upon the fact that his son-in-law, Russell Harrison, did not attend his father’s wedding yesterday. Mr. Saunders said, as to the feeling of the children towards their father’s mar- riage, that it was a delicate subject, and none appreciated it more than the children themselves, They had tried to keep it among themselves, but it soon became ap- parent to the 1 that dissatisfaction existed. He said it was probably first an objection to the father remarrying at all, and then to his m one so closely allied to the family, t was not a feeling of bitterness, but rather one of disap- pointment, which would wear away. He thought that Russell did not care so much and was disposed to permit his fath- er to do as he thought best; but with Mrs. McKee it was different and she was deep- ly sensitive on the subject. Mr. Saunders said that the children had been to Indianapolis several times to dine with their father, and it was evident that they were disposed to maintain friendly relations in the family regardless of the marriage, yet it did not conceal the fact that there were some heart-burnings over the ceremony celebrated in New York. Mrs. McKee Leaves Indianapolis. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 7.—The Sun has the following special from Indianapolis, Ind.: Mrs. Robert McKee, daughter of ex- President Harrison, will leave here to-mor- row for the East and will not be present to receive her father and his bride when they reach home to-morrow night. She has been making preparations for her de- arture since Mr. Harrison left for New ork, and among the things she will take with her are several pieces of furniture and bric-a-brac, part of the latter being vases and china painted by her mother. PIONEER OF TAR TRADE. Death of the First Furniture Dealer West of the Mississippi. | Dr. John I. Ellet, who died of apoplexy at Kansas City, was a former citizen of St. Louis, and was the first person to establish 3 store west of the Mississippi ver. This was in 1849, said Mr. H. H. Curtis, President of the Scarritt Furniture Co., which is the outgrowth of the business started by Dr. Ellet. Prior to 1839 furniture was not handled as merchand but was made to order by workmen in shops. Dr. Ellet began business at the southwest corner of Second street and ashington avenue. He continued the business till 1847, when he was succeeded by Scarritt & Mason. In 1861 Mr. H. H. Curtis bought out fhis firm. In 1866 a new firm, 1 Curtis & Mason, was formed. Later Mr. tis con- ducted the business alone, and in 1877 the present corporation of the Scarritt Furni- ture Co. was organized.

The imprisonment and proposed expulsion of Rev.

In support of this report it is stat that an imperial irade, providing for the expulsion from Turkey of the Christian missionaries and agents of the Red Cross Society has already been signed by the Sultan, although it has not yet been issued from the palace. The Turkish officials assert that the Rev. napp has persistently encouraged sedi- tious movements among the Armenians, in spite of several official warnings, but Mr. ampton, the British consul at Bitlis, pro- nounces the charges absurd. The American missionary, nevertheless, was informed that it had been decided to try him before the criminal court on the charge of conspiring against the Turkish Government, and was notified to appear for trial. Mr. Terrell then notified the Porte that he would not consent to have Mr. Knapp tried in the manner proposed, @nd it was later decided to try the misionary here in the presence of a representative of the United States Government.

THE LAST STRAW. . King Alexander of Servia Wants to Wed an American Heiress. BERLIN, April 7.— The proposals of mar- riage made by King Alexander of Servia have been rejected by half a dozen Ruro- ean princesses, and Princess Anna of Montenegro has jilted him. ow it is an- nounced that ex-King ‘Milan of Servia will start for New York in May with the ex- press purpose of finding an American girl with plenty of money who will be willing to marr ing Alexander. King Pasha, as Alexander is nicknamed, is described as one of the most offensive and displeasing youths that could be found from the Bosphorus to the banks of the Tagus. His manners are coarse and brutal in the extreme, fully in keeping with his beetling brows, low forehead and almost bestial nose and jaw; while the opinions which he vouchsafes with regard to women in general are characterized by an affecta- tion of cynicism and disillusion that is re- volting indeed. The future Queen of Servia will also have to satisfy the caprices of her all but amia-., ble father-in-law, who is an incurable spend- thrife and whose excesses have caused his dethronement, His was a singularly ribald, turgid, shameless and erratic reign.

NEW YORK, April 7.—A riot occurred at Jacmel,*Hayti, on March N.

The firing became so general after nightfall that the Dutch Royal Mail Co.'s steamer, Pring Wilhelm IV., had to leave the harbor without her clearance apers and part of her cargo.

Uncle Filley and Col. McCullagh’s Faith- ful Hénchmen Meet Cel. Swords. Col. T. H. Swords of Iowa, sergeant-at- arms of the Republican National Com- mittee, is at the Southern, having come from Washington. Col. Swords says he is „on his way West,“ without specifying his destination or route, and that he stopped over in St. Louis to consult with the local arrangements committee concerning cer- tain details of the Convention Auditorium. Among Col. Swords’ earliest callers Tues- day was Louis C. Bohle, the missin link, the umbilical cord or something of that ind between Uncle Filley and Editor Joseph urbridge McCullagh, and who has be- strewn this town with Allison buttons dur- ing the past few weeks. While Bohle Was talking to the Colonel there came sailing though the long corridor of the hotel like a majesti¢ ship on a calm sea, the sturdy and weather-beaten form of Uncle Fille himself. “I'm just ten minutes late,“ said De Ole Man“ in an apologetic manner to Col. , “butI guess if we get to work right away we can get through the business this morning.“ And with arms locked Uncle Filley and Col. Swords strode out of the Southern toward the Planters’, keeping their heads very close together as if in earnest con- sation. [| am to-day more hopeful of Allison’s hination than I ever was before,” said | Swords to a Post-Dispatch reporter. pointed out to you by Gen. Clarkson other day when he was here, the high- vote ony candidate will enter the con- ntion with will be at least 100 short of nomination, McKinley will, of course, e the highest vote, but McKinley's lagers, as stated by Gen. Clarkson, e so conducted his campaign as to nate all the second choice States and delegates. Therefore, the Ohloan's defeat seems certain. “Allison is indisputably the strongest sec- ond choice candidate. The followers of Reed,’ Morton and all the favorite sons, to- gether with the bulk of McKinley's, will come to him with a rush when they see that their men are doomed. But nothing is helping Allison so much as the Harrison movement.”’ Do you mean to say that Gen. Harrison is actually in the race?“ Col. Swords smiled. “Why, didn’t you know that?“ he inquired. I have suspected all along that the ex-President’s declina- tion had a string to it, and now I know it. When the convention assembles here in June and gets down to business you will see the solid vote of Indiana cast for Benjamin Harrison on the first ballot when that State is reached on the roll call. Those Indianans, led by State Chairman J. K. Gowdy, are playing a very shrewd game. They are the smartest politicians in this country, but they are going to be outwitted this year. They have been flirting with McKinley and his managers in the hope of getting on good terms with them, and have even gone so far as to encourage the belief that Indiana is for McKinley to the end of rd the Me- Kinley following when the Adlock of the convention comes. But they can’t do it, for the reason that the forces behind McKinley are the very forces that deféated Harrison four years ago and they will never be recon- clled to him. 4 And that’s the reason I say the Harrison movement will help Allison. The bulk of Mc- Kinley’s followers have nothing against Mr. Allison. In fact, they Uke him. Then can’t you see that when the crisis comes McKinley’s men will break to Allison in or- der to head off Harrison?“ BUT SHE GOT THE WARRANT. George Mueller’s Mother-in-Law Ex- hausts the Authorities’ Patience. “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again,“ seems to be Mrs. Louis Bassett's motto, and her persistent adherence thereto rocured her a warrant againet her son-in- aw, George Mueller. He is charged with abandoning his 14-year-old wife, Leoni, last Friday. Mrs. Bassett has not lost a mo- ment since the alleged desertion. She has lit- erally haunted the Four Courts, until out of sheer desperation Chief Desmond begged that & warrant be issued. Col, Johnson held out as long as he could, but had to capit- ulate. Madam,“ he said to the mother, “if you harassed your child’s husband as you have the officers of the law I don't blame him for skipping. If I were in his place I would never step moving until I got on the opposite side of the world.“ The mother-in-law said nothing in reply.

NEW YORK, April 7:—Mamie Timothy, e preity girl of 15, with a face indicating in- telligence and vivacity, and John Timothy, her brother, aged u years, were arrested last night in Jersey City for highway and other robberies. More than twenty com- plaints are lodged against the children, and evidence of their guilt was found at their parents’ home. The brother and sister, according to the girl’s staterrent, started on their career of crime on March 6, when they stripped Florence French, aged 3 years, of No.. 378 Grove street of her hat and cloak, Their method was to pick out victims from among little children playing in the street, boys or girls yhe were well-dressed get them into a convenient hallway an strip them of their sacques and hats. If their victims had any toys that they took a fancy to they would take them also. They did not confine themselves to rob- bing children, however, but stole baby car- riages, tricycles and rugs from the cellars and halls of flats. With the money which they realized from the sale of the stolen property Mamie and her brother bought clothes for themselves and visited cheap shows in the city. Mamie denied positively that her parents knew anything about her actions. She also said she forced her broth- er to participate in the crimes.

They Brutally Treat a Couple of De- fenseless Women. LEXINGTON, Ky., April 7.—It has just been learned that regulators visited the house of Mrs. Nancy Blair, near Stoch holm, Edmondson County, Saturday night, and gave her and her daughter, Mrs. Adal- ine Dugger, a terrible whipping. They or- dered them to leave the community and then tore down the house. The women went to the home of Seth Davis, but regu- lators notified Davis that his house would be torn down if he harbored them. The cause of the raid was the alleged action of George W. Hagan in leaving his family in destitute circumstances and residing with Mrs. Dugger. The mob declared that they would hang Hagan If found, but he escaped, DR. NIETERT Is WBARY.

Ex-Champion Corbett's visit to St. Louis to cater to a horde of hero-worship- ers at 50 cents each has also brought with it a fresh distinction in the shape of a chal- lenge with bare knucks to a finish. The ex-champion visited Capt. O'Malley at the Four Courts 111 the captain being an old acquaintance of his, their fam- ilies having lived at one time in the same part of Ireland. The Captain, to show his appreciation of the visit, was Corbett's chaperone about the Four Courts. He was shown the rogues’ gallery, the hold-over, the court rooms, the morgue, the gallows and lastly the City Jail. In a few minutes every one in the neigh- borhood had heard that Corbett was in the building and an awful crowd jammed the halls and corridors—all anxious to get a glimpse of the actor-pugilist. While he was in the ＋ a guard gave Corbett a card, on the back of which was written in lead pencil: “T will challenge you to fight me in a twenty-four-foot ring, anywhere on_earth, any time before Sept. 1 and after June 7, at 190 pounds weight, with no gloves. Cell The epistle was amusing to the fighter and he was shown to cell 27, where he had a talk with George Johnson, a tall youth awaiting trial on a charge of assault. Johnson stoutly maintains that he knew nothing about the card, that he did not write it and never. saw it before. His cell-mate, however, an elderly man who can hardly stand alone, avers that he saw Johnson hand a card out to one of the “trusties.” The guard said the card was ven him by a trusty,“ but the latter in- dividual had forgotten from which cell he got it.

Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 6.—The des- perate purposes of the gold-bug bosses in the Jackson County Democracy have been more fully seen during the past week than at any period since the call of the Demo- cratic State Committee at Excelsior Springs. Legislative Lobyist John H. Carroll, who is the chief fugleman for Chief Factionist Francis, ‘dropped into Kansas City last Monday night for a conference with the leading lights among the gold-bugs. It is current rumor in political circles here that Lobyist Carroll guaranteed to the gold- bug leaders here that all necessary finan- cial aid would be forthcoming from St. Louis to enable the goldites“ to carry the primaries to be held in Jackson County on April 9 for the selection of State delegates to the Sedalia Convention, The conserva- tive leaders among the gold standard faction of the Kansas City Democracy concede free- ly that the free silver sentiment is in a ma- jority in this city. This was evidenced in the Democratic State Convention held at the Auditorium in 1894, when nineteen of the thirty-two Jackson County delegates under the leadership of Frank G. Johnson, Repre- sentative H. S. Julian, Alderman’ Pender- ast and Col. Joseph W. Mercer voted in avor of the Stone-Bland platform. It must de remembered in considering this signifi- cant fact that Barney Corrigan and W. Cox, the then Police Commissioners, Hugh McGowan, Frank Graham, ex-Mayor W.S. Cowherd and other prominent Francis- ites holding influential political positions ex- erted their influence to the utmost in behalf of the substitute financial plank offered by David R. Francis. The rank and file of the Democratic voters in Kansas City are earnestly in favor of free silver. This is particularly true of the mem- bers of the labor unions and the industrial classes generally. The country districts in Jackson County outside of Kansas City are practically unanimous in favor of bimetal- lism. Lafayette County, which, with Jack- son County, comprises the Fifth Congres- sional District, has already held its township primaries and selected its delegation to the Sedalia Convention. This delegation is in- structed to gupport for delegates-at-large to the National Convention at Chicago Gov. Stone, Dick Bland, Senators Vest and Cock- rell, and for district delegate the Hon. J. D. Shewalter of Lexington was indorsed as the choice of that county for one of the district delegates. The goldites made the strongest fight of which they were capable in Lafayette County, and were ignominiously defeated, So badly were they defeated that not a single member of the new County Commit- tee selected at the same primaries favors the gold standard. It may appear strange to effort to capture the two district delegates from the Fifth District under these circum- stances, but their plan is well understood and is about as follows: on March 3 the Demoeratic Central Com- mittee of Jackson County held a regular meeting at the Coates House in this city and after a session of about two hours ad- eae after arranging all the details for or the holding of the primaries on April , the apportionment of delegates to each f the fourteen wards and nine townships n-the city and county and the names of he persons designated to call the primary ass meetings to order were definitely fixed t that time. At this meeting the gold- ug clique, anxious to gain some future old in the country districts, arbitrarily re- moved Committeeman George Spuill, a free silver man of Washington township, and filled his place by selecting one of the gold- ite deputies in County Assessor Campbell's office who claims a residence in that town- — No excuse or justification was given and everybody understood that this anded and revolutionary proceeding was aken for the sole pu se of strengthening he goldbug forces. No considerations of party usage or justice were permitted to stand in the way of their desperate purpose to control the expression of the Democracy — — county in the pending currency con- est. unanimously selected ag chairman of the County Committee when the two factional committees, one headed by Marcy K. Brown and the other by George M. Shelly, were merged into one, issued a formal call for a county conv n in conformity with action taken by the committee. Last Tues- day a part of the committeemen met ir- regularly, without the proper notice, and assum to change the an of holding the primaries adopted at the previous reg- ular meeting of the committee and in flag- rant violation of all rty precedent at- tempted to appoint goldbug Democrats to call the ward meetings to order in each of the wards where the committeeman was known to be friendly to the cause of free silver. Inspired with a hope of handling some of the Dave Francis boodle a desperate : g of political fixers in this city is de- termined to thwart the Wishes of the ma- corse element of the party and send gold- dug delegates to Sedalia. f the silver men submit to the high-handed and revolution- ary programme outlined above it will be in the 2 of the goldites to send the two di e rom the Fifth Con- ressſlonal District from this city and thus ebar Lafayette County from any repre- sentation, but in order to accomplish this it will be necessary for them to carry Jack- son County solid for gold. How tan this be done when there is a pro- nounced majority of the Democratic voters in favor of silver? Their plan is understood to be to elect ali silver men, who are under the control of the county officials now holding their offices as the beneficiaries of the monstrous election frauds of 1894. The Francis factionists know that under a goldbug banner, even with the power of un- limited boodle, which can be corruptly used in large cities with telling effect at primary election contests, they cannot hope to gain a victory. The chief promoters of this scheme are Frank F. Rozzell, Police Com- missioner under Francis; Thomas R. Mor- row, corporation attorney and legislative lobbyist, who also held a commission as Po- lice Commissioner during the Francis ad- ministration; ex-Mayor W. S. Cowherd, at- lican boss, who was appointed Superintend- ent of Streets during the Cowherd adminis- tration, and who is now under indictment for election crimes; Henry M. Stonestreet, Circuit Clerk, and John P. O'Neill, Sheriff, who are both holding their offices as the re- sult of the election crimes of 1894. Stone- street has appointed among his clerks and deputies Oswald McAllister, an indicted election thief, and the notorious Ba ford. Stonestreet is as th dential political friend and personal repre- sentative of James Gibson. There has been much comment within the few days upon the attitude of Gibson imself so far as the currency fight in Jack- son County is concerned. Nearly every po- litical and personal friend of Gibson's in Kansas City is allied actively with the gold- bug forces, while the Judge himself pro- fesses support to the silver men. It has been charged that Mr. Gibson cannot forget sla, whe appointed. hien Circuit Judge of poin m reuit Judge of Jackson County in 1889 and who K. him to control the patronage of the Govern during the Francis regime or’s office “Probate J n Guir ¢ Tenge aE BG fe, who gg: n- Representative Henry S.

Stone in refusing to issue a comm n to James H. Bremer- man ore Attorney in 1884 and later was smashed by the special session of the Legislature in enacting a new election law for Kansas Cit putting an end to election thievery. The primaries and convention for the se- lection of delegates from this county to_the nominating convention at Jefferson City in 1888 are memorable as being the most shameful in their boodling practices and reckless disregard of honest methods. Francis, then Mayor of St. Louis, Brother- in-law Ellerbe, Lobbyist John Carroll and Kinsman Turner E, wis came here and through the assistance of the worst ele- ments of Kansas City succeeded by brazen methods of bulldozing and ptt | of or- ganized gang of ruffians, in overriding the wishes of the reputable eitizens and captur- ing the delegation to Jefferson City for Francis for Governor. Up to that time in Jackson County politics the normal Demo- cratic majority had been 3,000 in the coun- ty. The Francis methods, so-called, in the primaries, résulted in a beggarly plurality of about 700 votes for the State ticket in November of that year. The reign of Rozzell as Police Commissioner, and of Owsley as Recorder of Voters, is too well owe to require any elaboration at this me. vicious and law elements in both r- ties became confederated together, John May Republicans and Francis Democrats, and honest elections became a farce in Kansas City. It was this same gang that defeated the present United States District Judge, John F. Phillips, in the Congres- sional campaign of 1880 Guinotte, ll and Cowherd, so far as the general know, have never denied that they knifed Judge Phillips in that fight and supported Warner, who was elected. The opposition against this ring, at first confined to the Republican party, constantly gathered strength from the reputable ele- ments of the Democracy until the cam- of 1894, when the oposition to their continued encroachments became 80 great that despite the gigantic frauds committed n e Second, Sixth, Eighth and Ninth Wards, the Republican candidates for Pros- ecuting Attorney and Marshall were elected by small majorities upon the face of the returns. The country townships outside the city, which had heretofore been almost unanimously Democratic, also returned Republican pluralities for the county ticket. William T. Jamison, Republican candidate for Prosecuting Attorney, had a majority of 325 votes. The returns were given out upon the night of election by Recorder of Voters Owsley and his chief deputy, ex-Alderman Ed R. Hunter from the seventy-three voting precincts of the city, and were published on the following day in four daily news- papers. When the returns from the coun- try precincts reached the Court-house at Independence, one of the county seats of Jackson County, it was seen that the Dem- ocratic gang candidate, James H. Bremer- man, was defeated. The official count began on Friday and completed the Monday night following. When the footings were made public it appeared that Bremerman was elected by something over 200 votes and that the apparent plurality of Jamison had en- tirely disappeared. An investigation revealed the fact that the judges’ returns from a number of pre- cincts had been altered, forged and changed in the office of the Recorder of Voters. Consternation reigned throughout the city. Public yore pre was general that this flagrant crime against the right of suffrage should not be consummated, and many of the leading citizens and officials wrote to Gov. Stone urgent requests to come to Kan- eas City. Serious apprehensions of mob vio- lence were felt by the best citizens of the ° — c After the Governor had come to Kansas City and carefully examined the returns in the Recorder of Voters’ office and ascer- tained beyond any question that a crime had been committed, and Recorder Owsley him- many of the silver leaders throughout the self acknowledged that the returns had been State that the goldites should make any | forged. and changed, the gang leaders still earnestly importuned him to issue a com- mission to Bremerman and then let the courts decide the controversy.

The election trials, owing to the influence of an unlimited fund con- tributed by the gang bosses, and the re- sourceful expedients of the ablest criminal lawyers employed for the defense of the election thieves, have delayed the trials of the cases. There have been several confes- sions, and during no trial has the defense attempted to deny the perpetration of gigan- 12 frauds. Circuit Clerk Stonestreet, Sher- if. O'Neill, County Clerk Crittenden, Pro- bate Judge Guinotte, are among the bene- ficiaries of the election frauds and have figured in these cases as bondsmen and en- deavored by every means in thelr power to keep their pals out of the Penitentiary. The antagonism of this element to Gov. Stone can reavily be understood. Their ' ib torney for John May, the notorious Repub- | ust () resentment against his refusal to ecome a partner in these election crimes, and thus disgrace not only his high office, ut the entire Democracy of Missouri, of which from his official positon he is the acknowledged leader, will be satisfied with nothing less than the defeat of free siiver at Sedalia in the hope that in this man- ner they can humiliate him. They have viciously assailed Gov. Stone upon every possible occasion, belittled his administra- tion by every means within their power, and have even joined forces with the Star, the implacable enemy of Democracy in this ctty and county for years, in their desperate and reckless purpose to discredit his admin- istration. No official act of the present chief executive has escaped their censure and condemnation, and in their rabid hatred of the Governor they will stop at no ex- cesses to override and subvert the majority sentiment of the * of Jackson County, which is emphatically in favor of the free coinage of silver. At the rump meeting of the County Com- mittee held on the Ast, at which the at- tempt was made to take away the pre- rogatives and rights of the free silver mem- bers of the County Committee,the following substitutions were made of the temporary chairmen of the primary mass meetings in the different wards of the city. In the Second Ward James B. McGowan was set aside and George J. Pierce substi- tuted. Pierce is under indictment for elec- tion frauds, but holds an appointment as Deputy Sheriff under O'Neill. In the Third Ward Dr. Edward F. Brad a citizen of recognized personal worth an a loyal Democrat, was set aside and J. J. Williams, a Police Court lawyer, named to call that ward meeting to order. Williams is known as Poker Joe“ and is also the attorney for indicted election crooks Moran and O. W. and R. L. Krueger. In the Seventh Ward, Finis E. Farr, law partner of ex-Recorder of Voters Owsley, was named. In the Eighth Ward, which comprises one of the best residence districts of the city, ex-City Clerk Graham was selected to do the dirty work required. Graham was charged in the recent election trial of John May at Lexington, with having taken the bundle of ballots to John Moran’s saloon, in the Second Ward, so that they be fixed up and stuffed into the boxes before the election began in the morning. James J. Franklin, son of ex-Congressman B, J, Franklin, who was appointed Gover- nor of Arizona a few days ago by President Cleveland, also testified in the May trial that Graham had offered him a bribe of $50 to stuff the ballot box in the Eighth Ward. This will illustrate the reckless tactics and desperate methods of the gang and fixers in Jackson County in their bold scheme to humiliate the free silver leaders by sending Dave Francis as a delegate-at- large to the National Convention at Chi- o. he silver men, under the leadership of State Committeeman M.
