Proctor Knott for GovernOr-The Work
 of the Democratic Convention.
 LOUISVILLE, May 1.-The Democratic State convention nominated Hon. J. Proctor Knott for Governor this morning on the seT- enth ballot. During the progress of the bal lot Mir. Owsley and Gen. Buckner were with drawn and the fight lay between Gel. Jones and Knott. When the call of counties was concluded Jones had 373 and Knott 368 votes Before the result was announced great excitement was aroused and the chair man of the Owens county delegation (which had been instructed to cast it's vote for Knott, but had supported Jones) rose and changed it's whole vote to Knott against the protests of the Jones minority of the delegation A wrangle ensued and changes were hurriedly made. It is asserted that Knotts friends paid $1 1000 per vote. At any rate Colonel Jones' name was withdrawn and Knott de- clared the unanimous choice. The Post (Democratic) editorially charges that J. M. Atherten and John G. Roach, prominent members of the distillers' associa- ton, were Knott's agents in the purchase. There was tremendous excitement preceding and following the result of the ballot. So great was the excitement that recess was taken till 3:3O D. m., when balloting was re- stunned for the other State officers. knotts nomination gives satisfaction to the best class of people in the State.
 X curious fact leaked out this afternoon when the committee on resolutions reported that John G. Carlisle, candidate for Speaker of the lower house of Congress was here Sunday and it was general ly understood that he would prepare the tariff plank of the platform 50 that his State would declare the issue of his difference with Randall. Henry Watterson, the cham pion of the tariff for revenue only cause, was with Mr.. Carlisle. The latter suddenly dis appeared and has not been at the convention. It was rumored that he and MT. Watterson could not agree on the tariff utterance and that Mir. Carlisle was not willing to adopt MT. Watterson's war cry. Last night the Cour- ier-Journal, MT. Watterson's paper and agent of the associated press, autographed the fol lowing abroad: The committee on resolu- tions will report the following to-morroW, which will be adopted.

Appeals in Patent Cases-A New Set of Rules to Govern Them-scrnps From The Reporters Note Book.
 WASHINGTON, May 17.-Secretary Teller to- day promulgated new rules which are her g.
 after to govern appeals to the Secretary of
 the Interior in patent cases. These rules
 direct that appeals from the action of the
 commissioner of patents in uncontested cases
 where the construction of the rules of prac
 tice is involved and in contested cases will
 not be entertained by the Secretary of the
 Interior unless the petition therefor be filed
 with the commissioner of patents within ten
 days after the date of the action to which it
 relates. The commissioner is required to re-
 port the case to the Secretary and notify the
 appellant that his case has been submitted
 within twenty days after the receipt of the
 papers by the Secretary. The appellant is
 directed to file printed brief with the Sec
 retary and in contested cases the written &C.,
 knowledgment of the appellee that he has
 been furnished with copy of the appellants
 brief showing the date it was received. No
 oral hearing will be allowed until the rule re- lating to the filing of printed briefs is com piled with, and then only the suggestion of the Secretary that he desires to hear the par ties.
 The Secretary of the Interior to-day de- cided to withdraw the lands of the Northern Pacific railroad within the granted limits which is forty miles on each side of the def nite location of the road, also the indemnity lines of ten miles additional, holding that suchwithdrawal is impicitdly required by acts making the grant in order to protect the company. Although the Secretary has discretion under the law to determine when, in what manner and to what extent with drawals in indemnity lines shall be made to properly protect the rights of the company, of individual settlers and of the public, the Secretary declares that the company should make prompt and speedy selection of it's lands in order that those not recorded to supply the grant may be restored to the market at the earliest moment. If the com pany fails to proceed with such diligence as the important public interests may require it will be proper for the Secretary himself to revoke the withdrawals and throw open the lands te settlement. He declines to with draw the second indemnity belt at present deenning the withdrawal of the first indem nity limits sufficient to afford probability of fully satisfy ying the grant without resorting to the recond indemnity.
 The Star route trial was adjourned to-day until tomorrow on account of the illness of one of the jurors.
