THE KENTUCKY REPUBLICAN, STATE
CONVENTION.

Grant Gorges the Entire Delegation.
LOUISVILLE, April 1.-THE Republican
State Convention was called to order by
George Denny, jr., Chairman State Com
mmittee. The call of the counties showed
the representation to be larger than usual.
John W. Lewis, OF Washington, was
elected temporary chairman over John j.
Landrum, Of Gallatin county, the vote
standing 800 to 5O0-the former shows
Grants strength in the Convention.
Lewis on taking the chair made strong
speech in favor OF Grant which was loud.
ly applauded.
7 Thos. Speer, OF Louisville, was made
temporary Secretary.
A motion pledging every delegate to
support the nominee OF the Chicago Con-
yenlion, created q long and hot debate be.
tween the friends Of Grant and the oppo-
sition. AT times q dozen delegates were
addressing the chair at the same, time and
wild disorder prevailed.
The resolution was finally declared
adopted amid loud protests.
The Committee on Credentials, Resolu-
tons and Organization were appointed,
after which recess was taken.
The convention reassembled at o'clock
and the Committee an Permanent 0rgani-
zation reported James Speed for Chair
man, and Thomas Speed for Secretary,
and an assistant secretary for each Con.
gressional district. Adopted.
The report Of the Committee on Cfeden-
tials in favor OF excluding the anti.Grant
delegates from the contested wards oi
Louisville, was adopted. 1t also admitted
the votes by proxy from the counties not
otherwise represented.
The Committee on Resolutions reported
in favor OF the instructions for Grant, but
before their adoption, minority report
was reported and was received with wild
applause by the anti-Grant men. The
stage had been lighted up, and the surg.
ing crowd In the dim twilight, as they
arose to their feet and cheered when the
last report was read, made wild and ex'
citing scene.
The majority report was adopted by
about 700 majority, so the delegates go in
structed TO vote as O unit for Grant.

CONFLICT BETWEEN THE O. s. CONSUL
AND THE TURKISH AUTHORITIES.

LONDON, April 14.-A letter from Con
stantinople dated April 9th, gives the fol
lowing particulars Of conflict OF jurisdic'
tion between the United States Consul
General and the Ottoman authorities
growing out Of the arrest Of the American
citizen for murder, an account Of which
was telegraphed on the 10th inst: A case
has come recently before the American
Consul which involves few very i'm.
portant questions OF international right,
and establishes the privileges and position
for American citizenj. A treaty between
the United States and Turkey stipulates
that any American citizen having COM
mitted penal oifense must be delivered to
the American Consulate for judgment.
This is not the case with any other
foreigners, who, II charged with criminal
otense, would be tried by an Ottoman
judge, although his case would be watched
by the dIagoman OF his consulate.
A month ago an American citizen, es-
tablished in business at Constantinople,
killed an Ottoman subject accidentally.
He surrendered himself to the American
CouEsul, after having remained hidden
a few days. In the meantime the Turkish
police seized everything in his warehouse
in Galata, without having asked the assis-
tance Of the American dragoman. The
accused is an importer OF arms and the
minister OF police forced box OF arms
open and appropriated several revolvers,
which example was followed other otIici-
ais. Consul General Heap, who is also
charge D'AGaires, was informed OF the
charge against the American. After this
act and on the day previous to his sur
render he complained to Sawas Pasha,
Minister OF Foreign Affairs, that the
domicile OF au American citizen had been
violated and robbery committed by po-
lice officials.
On the surrender OF thehomicide Heap
informed the Minister OF Police OF the fact,
stating that according to the stipulations
between the United States and Turkey he
would himself try the prisoner. The Min
lister Of Police has not appeared at the
Consulate, and Heap has informed Sawas
Pasha that he will not surrender the pris.
oner to Turkish tribunal, aud he ex-
pects evidence to be brought before
Consular court. Thus the case stands at
present. II the prisoner Is tried by Heap
the other powers will claim the same priv
ilege for their subjects.
A dispatch from Constantinople cabled
the 10th and dated four days later than
the above letter, states that the prisoner
had been tried and found guilty Of man
slaughter, and sentenced to Two months
imprisonment, and that Heap declined to
give him up TO the Ottoman authorities.
The following was received from Con-
stantinople direct tonight:
CoNsTASTlNoPLE, April l4.-The Ameri-
can who was convicted OF manslaughter
before Consular court and sentenced to
fer two months, has been
sent 10 the American prison at Smyrna.
He was conducted thither by Consular
General Heap himself.

ed the assassination OF King Alfonso on
the evening of December 80, as the royal
carriage containing the King and Queen
was passing through the palace gate, was
executed this morning. at the time OF

Yesterday morning the governor OF the
prison and the authorities reused Otero
and led him in irons bareheaded, and clad
in the clothing he wore the day he attempt
ed the life OF the King, to the hall where
condemed prisoners hear their sentences
in the presence Of the Judge. 0tero was
pale but composed, and signed his SEN
tence with a firm hand. The Judge then
delivered 0tero into the custody OF the
Brothers Of the order Of Pas.y.C .Caridad,
who led the prisoner to chapel dimly
lighted. 0tero expressed repentance but
refused all ministrations OF the priests.
The regicide was executed at half past
eight. The authorities usually present on
such occasions were on the scadold, in
front Of which large crowd assembled.
Perfect order was maintained. The final
visit was made 0tero by Duke DeZaeto,
Grand Chamberlain, who remained twen-
ty minutes with him. 1t Is not known that
the prisoner made any disclosure.

BosroN, April 14.-Charles E. worthen,
who sued the Grand Trunk Railroad Com
pany for damages received by a collision
owing to the carelessness of the company's
servants in 1876, received verdict yester-
day for $4,000. On the first trial he was
awarded $4,000, and on the second trial
SEC, 900. The amount is the largest award
for damages ever obtained in Massachu-
sets court. Worthen, in 1876, was sales
man in the employ OF Fields, Letter & Co.,
OF Chicago. On July 2Sd, that year, he
left his home in New Hampshire for Chi.
cago, on the Grand Trunk railroad, and
