Lorisvu.LH. July 14.—For Kentucky,
tate which has taken so mnch pride
lu the steadfastness of her Democracy,
n aimed novel convention is being
held in Louisville under the name of
t b e ••National” Democratic convention.
While the selection of a candidate for
the state court of appeals is the ostensi*
[% purpose, it does not give a true in-
siplit into the motive of Buch a repre
sentative fathering. Behind it all is
what the leaders of the movement pro-
ncmnce a principle of Democracy, and
this goes l ack to the Chicago conven
tion ami platform which evolved the
•■Bov Orator” as a nominee for presi-
cent of the United States and brought
shout a conflict which divided Ken
tucky Democracy. In fact, gold or sil
ver was the fight in this state and that
auestiou is the one which underlies the
contest here.
Over loo delegates are in attendance.
Opponents of this convention, of
tours ■, have mnch to say in deriding it,
but the names of such men as Carlisle,
Li u dsay, Breckinridge, Watterson, and
other well known leaders of Democracy
lu this state bear great weight in the
luce of the charge that their numerical
strength does not faithfully represent
the feeling and voting strength of the
state Democracy.
It now appears that the Republicans
have given up any idea of making a
formal overture for fusion, haviug, in
vain, demanded that the nominee of
the Democrats should have his name
placed under the emblem of the Repub
lican party to secure that party’s
support.
REPUBLICANS AT DETROIT.
St. I.ouU IMa*form Indorsed—'The Anne:
t ion «>l Ha'taU Is F«*vored. .
Detroit, July 14.—Combination on
league officers and the location of the
next convention was the topic of active
discussion among the delegates to the
convention of the National League of
Republican clubs prior to the calling of
the convention to order. The - cam
paigning and logrolling had been going
on in hotel lobbies and candidates’
headquarters far into the night.
At lo:4.'. oVi ck Chairman Woodman
see called the convention to order. The
committee on credentials was not ready,
6o the committee on rules made its re
port on order of business aud rules.
The rules of the Fifty-third congress
were recommended to govern the con
vention an the delegates were each to
cast the .a t vote. The report was
adopted.
The committee on credentials re
ported that tire questions of seats had
been settled amicably, with the ex
ception of that the Louisiana delega
tion of 2U, headed by H. M. Blunt, a
negro, was recommeuded to be seated,
and that the delegation of four, headed
by C. C. Wilson, be excluded.
The report of the credentials commit
tee was adopted after a brief but stormy
scene, in which several whites and
blacks tried to talk at once.
The resolutions, which were then re
ported through the chairman of the
resolutions committee, Colonel Bundy
of Ohio, declare unfaltering allegiance
to the "principles and policies of the
party of protection, sound money, re
ciprocity aud patriotism, as expressed
in the St. Louts platform. The faith
which prompted the nomination and
election of William McKinley and a
Republican congress has been justified
and we congratulate the country uj
the evidences of returning prosper
We pledge anew the organized efforts
of league men[throughout the Union for
the party of Abraham Lincoln.”
The platform commends the president
and congress in sending a monetary
commission to European nations; for
inaugurating measures for the annexa
tion of Hawaii, and for an attitude on
the Cuban matter that has tended to
lessen Spanish atrocities in that island.

Clever Reply of Finance Minister to So*
dnlUte Avert* Government Defeat.
Paris, July 14. •— The government
narrowly escaped defeat in the cham
ber of deputies.
The ministers wished to postpone un
til autumn discussion of a bill to read
just direct taxes, the passage of which
would chiefly benefit the peasantry.
The opposition, led by M Millerand
(Socialist) urged immediate discussion
In the first divisiou the government was
defeated by a vote of 270 to 245.
Mr. Oochery, the finance minister,
made-a clever reply to M. Millerand,
saying that the vote implied that the
Socialists preferred the existing system.
A scene of wild confusion ensued, the
Socialists rising to their feet, shouting
and shaking their fists.
An other division was finally taken,
and the motion for immediate discus-
sioif was lost by a vote of 270 to 257.
Otto Gresham In * Polios Court.
Chicago, July 14—Otto Gresham,

Buffalo For Whitney’* Form.
Albany, July 14 —A shipment of 13

20 antelope passed through this city.
for many months a famine is not now
expected.
There is at present an abundance of
ooal in the market, and thousands of
bushels seem to be available. Operators
are in daily receipt of letters from the
mines east and north of Pittsburg offer
ing them large quantities of coal from
75 cents to $1.25 at the mines, on freight
rates varying from 33 to 59 cents.
While the visible supply on the Mo-
□ongahela, between here and Browns
ville, does not exceed 7,000,000 bushels,
the operators say calls can be made on
the Clearfield district, where coal oan
be obtained without difficulty and at
rates as reasonable as conld be expeoted.
The present quotations for coal ran
from the mine $re $1.25 and $1.50. On
Monday sales were made at $1.80.
REPORT ON JAMESON RAID.
Conclusion* of Committee Appointed to
Investigate Xrauivaal Trouble.
London, Jnly 14 —The parliamentary
South Africa commission that has been
inquiring into the Transvaal raid has
agreed upon its report The Pall Mall
Gazette publishes a summary of the
conclusions of the committee. T£e re
port will express an emphatio opinion
that, whatever justification there might
have been for actiou on the part of the
people of Jahannesburg, there was none
whatever for Cecil Rhodes’ conduct in
subsidizing, organizing and stimulating | crease in valuation or
an armed insurrection against the gov
ernment of the TransvaaL
A heavy responsibility, according to
the report, remains with. Rhodes, de
spite the fact that at the last moment
Dr. Jameson invaded the Transvaal
without Rhodes’ direct sanction.
The gravity of Rhodes’ transaction is
weightily expressed by the committee,
who find that “he seriously embarrassed
both the imperial and colonial govern
ments; that his proceedings resulted in
an astounding breach of inter.-Htional
comity; that he utilized his position and
the great interests he controlled to as
sist and support revolution and deceived
the high commissioner, as well as con
cealed his views from the members of
the colonial ministry and the directors
of the Chartered company.”
The committee is of the opinion that
of the Chartered company directors
who were examined, only Mr. Beit and
Mr. Maguire were cognizant of the

ROADS KICK ON REDUCTION.
North Carolina Lino* Declare That Rate*
Are Already Too Low. |
Raleigh, July 14—The hearing by
the railway commission of the question
of increasing the tax valuation of rail
ways and also reducing passenger and
freight rates has ended. It was the
most important session the commission
has ever held.
The Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley
•resented its case. Counsel George M.
aud Messrs. Fry and Kyle appear
ing for it. They assured the commis
sion that the rate of valuation ought to
be reduced; that the road was not mak
ing mouey, but was struggling for ex
istence, and they protested against any
reduction in rates.
President Hancock of the Atlantio
and North Caroliua railway declared
his road could not stand either an in-
deorease in
rate* The state is two-thirds owner of
this road. He asked to be permitted to
later file statements to prove this, and
the commission granted the permission.
F. H. Busbee of counsel for the South
ern made a statement as to its earnings
and said it was taxed high enough.

Flood—Several Bodies Kocovsrei).
Newburgh, N. Y., July 14—Mel-
zingah reservoir, in the Fiahkill moun
tains, near Matte wan, burst at 3 a. m.
owing to the heavy rains. The water
fan into the creek, and ? miles below,
near Dnchess Junction, washed away
brick yard buildings, including a board
inghouse occupied by laborers. It is
reported here that nine of them were
drowned and others are missing.
The flood at Dnchess Junction washed
away 200 yards of the Hudson River
railway track. The trains are stalled
on each side of the breach.
There were two reservoirs in the
mountain, the lower one half a mile dis
tant from the other. The upper one
gave way, letting the volnme of water
into the lower reservoir. This also
burst, and the water rushed down
.through a ravine. Van Boren and Tim'
"othy’s brick yards on the Hcdson just
below Dnchess Junction are a mile dis
tant from the site of the lower reser
voir. Without warning the flood reached
them through the ravines and made a
terrible havoo. Buildings were torn in
pieces and their oocnpants carried away
in the raging flood. The waterworks
system was operated by a private com
pany and supplied the villages of Matte-
wan aud FishkiU-on-the-Hudson.
Eight buildings, two of which were
boardinghouses, were swept away by
the rushing water and 20 people are
missing.
Seven bodies have been recovered.
They am those of Peter Mulligan and
wife, a mother with u child, and the
wife of an engineer at Timony’e brick
yard.
The names of the others are not
known. It is reported that 20 are still
missing. Tons of earth and 6and were
washed down in the flood and men are
digging into this mass to recover other
bodies.
The reservoir, the bursting of which
caused havoc at Dnchess Junction, is
situated in the Fishkill mountains,
about 1 mile east of the junction. It
collects the surface water from the
north side of South Beacon and the
sonth side of a neighboring mountain
and is 500 feet above tidewater. Its
overflow reaches the Hudson by way of
a small stream known as Towanda
creek. At the end of the ravine are de
vastated brick yards.
The reservoir is of oval shape, 500
feet long and 300 feet wide and 80 or 35
feet deep. It is used, as an auxiliary
supply to the regular waterworks sys
tem of Mattewan and Fishkill lauding,
from the main'source of which it is dis
tant about 4 miles. The largest reser
voir of this system is a considerable lake
near North Beacon, which has massive
masonry, is intact.

The Ponlbllltlo* of Extending the Foreign
Markets For. Oar Cereal*.
Washington, Jnly 14—Some import
ant data as to the possibilities of the
material extension of the . foreign mar
kets for our cereals 1b given in a report
of the agricultural department on
“United States Wheat For Eastern
Asia.”
Owing to the rapid recent develop
ment of the new wheat producing areas
in other parts of the world and the in
creasing competition the United States
is compelled to meet ip European mark
ets, the future disposal of our surplus
wheat has become an important ques
tion. It has been suggested that the
changes now taking place in the civili
zation of Japan and Ohina may result
in the opening there of markets for oar
wheat that will to some extent compen
sate us for losses that may be inonrred
through the increasing competition of
other countries in the European mark
ets that this country formerly was able
to control.
The report says that ohlef among the
indications of plausibility of the sug
gestion is the remarkable increase in
our exportations of wheat to eastern
Asia daring the decade just dosing.
Most of this wheat is shipped in the
form of floor, exports of grain being
comparatively small. The total amount
of wheat floor shipped to Japan and
China during the entire fiscal year 1897,
just closed, should reach, it is stated,
above 1,000.000 barrels, equivalent to
more than 4,500.000 bushels of wheat.
The major portion of American floor
sent across the Pacifio goes to Hong-
Kong and is thence distributed to other
Chinese porta
Exports of floor to Japan, while con
siderably smaller than to China, show
an increase daring the last four yean
proportionately greater than to Ohina
It is estimated that the total exports of
wheat floor from this country to Japan
dnriug the fisoal year just ended amount
to 200,000 barrels. The exports of wheat
in the grain have been chiefly to Japan.
Amerioan wheat also is sent to eastern
Asia in the form of|bread and bisonlts,

the purpose of arresting Taylor Delk,
and they were resisted by those within
the'dwelling. As to who were in the
house has always been a matter of
donbt. It wa9 certain that Tom Delk
and Tom Langford were there, bat it
has always been denied by old man
Delk and his son that the former was
present when the shooting took place.
The sheriff with the posse advanced
upon the boose. Firing commenced,
the officers of the law stating afterwards
that tbe inmates fired first and the in
mates swearing that the officers were
the first to fire. One of the shots from
the house killed Sheriff Guinn. Tom
and Taylor, his father, were tried and
convicted for murder after a hasty trial,
there being* fear of mob violenoe. Tom
was hanged a few weeks ago.
Taylor having been given a new trial,
had his sentence postponed. A second
time he was oonvioted and sentenced to
hang on Jnly 19. His case was appealed
to tne supreme coart, and is now pend
ing. Langford escaped after the mur
der and conld not be found.
_ Tom Delk always stated that Tom
Langford fired the shot which killed
Sheriff Guinn. To this statement he
stuck until his death.

“PURE ROT” SAYS HANNA.
Tho Senator Declare* That He I* Not te
Be a Dweller at the White House.
Washington, July 14—“It is all pure
rot and nonsense.” said Senator Hanna
when asked concerning the statement
that he was hereafter, until the disso
lution of congress, to be a resident of
the executive mansion. “The only
foundation for the story lies in the fapt
that I did spend Sunday at the White
House. I still have my rooms at the
Arlington. I do not intend to beoome
boarder or a lodger at the White
House.”
The Btory, at first accepted as true be
cause of the close personal friendship
between the president and Senator
Hanna, and because of the latter’s
health, which has been somewhat im'
paired by the incessant onslonght of
offioe seekers, is now proving a source
of irritation and annoyanoe to the sena
tor. He feels that it impeaches the
good, hard common sense both of the
presideut and himself.
On the simple published announce
ment that Mr. Hanna would take dii
ner aud spend Sunday with President
and Mrs. McKinley was based an airy
fabrio to the effect that daring the cqn-
tinned absence of his family nt a sum
mer resort in Massachusetts Mr. Hanna
would occupy a bed chamber at the
executive mansion.
As a matter of fact Mr. Hanna's fam
ily have not been with him except for
few days preceding and subsequent
to the inauguration; so his loneliness,
he expresses it, has not been in
crettsed by any recent events.
