NEW YORK, April 27.--Tbe Tribune pub
fishes the following under the heads: s'Po-
litical Murder in louisiana ''The Recent
Counting Exploits of the Democrats Accom-
panied with Assassinations.
New ORLEANS, April 25.-The Evening
Item ye terday received information from
Monroe, to the effect that on Sunday. April
%, William Adams, resident of Ouachita
parish, was shot to death by unknown per-
sons at the court house in that town. Adams
was Republican, and just before the cleo
ton came to this city and obtained from
Governor Yarmouth authority to distribute
the Republican tickets in Ouach;t,, Frank
lin and other parishes of that district. He
rendered himself obnoxious to those who
dominated the politics Of that district. and
this led to his assassination The number of
men engaged in the affair could not be ascer
tanned.
On iuquirilig why no telegrams or other in
telligence had been sent to the city, the Items
informant said that there was an apparent
reign of terror in Monroe, and that the peo-
pie did not dare to send out news, for fear of
being assaulted. Seeking further informa-
informed that Adams had the reputation of
being a rough and dangerous man or
''Swamp Angel" Some years ago he was
tried for the murder of Judge Crawford and
Arthur Harris, district attorney of that dis
trict He was, however, acquitted of that
charge
Still another statement is that he was shot
in the court house yard, wounded in the nose
or,I fpnfl lo,
from which he subsequently, returned to the
court house. Upon his entering the court
house soilffiing was heard and it is supposed
that he was killed with knives Shortly
after, a carriage was driven away from the
court house, which is supposed to have con-
tanned his body which has not been found.
The local papers give no particulars of the
tragedy, but say Adams has disappeared.

Important Events at the Seat of the Ma
tional Government.
WASHINGTON, April 27.-The house COM
mttee on foreign affairs this morning agreed
to report favorably the joint resolution,
authorizing the president to appoint dele
gates to the International Geodetic associa-
ton, to be held at Berlin. The committee
also agreed to the report of the conferees on
the Paris exposition bill
At meeting of the house committee on
ways and means this morning resolution
was adopted calling upon the secretary of
the treasury for computation, based upon
the returns OF the census Of 1880, showing
how many persons are engaged in the manu-
facture of articles produced in the United
States into competition with which imports
come, and the value of such articles manu-
factured. 1t was subsequently reported in
the house and there adopted.
Just as the short session of the meeting ad-
journed ex-Chairman William R. Morrison
entered the room and was received with ap-
plaiise. He spent some time in social con
versation with members and tten went on
the floor of the house.
Immediately after the transaction Of
morning business the house went into COM
mittee of the whole on the tariff bill.
The senate increased the appropriation
from 5000, 900 to $500, 600, and the conference
committee compromised on s25O,OOO and
raised salaries of the commissioner general
and the sub-commissioners in proportion to
the increase of appropriation, on the ground
that the time which must necessarily be
given to the work is greater than the exposi-
ton. The provision relating to American
pork in France was stricken from the bill in
the senate. The committee will take I'D for
disposal the consular reorganization bill two
weeks from to day.
The house committee on public lands
amended the senate bill which annexes No
Mans Land to Kansas by extending the laws
of New Mexico over that country and estab-
fishing land Office in No Mans Land. The
committee also acted favorably upon the
senate resolution withdrawing from purchas-
ing the timber lands in Mississippi, Louisiana
and Arkansas, SO as to put thefu beyond the
reach Of speculators until action can be
secured on the general land bill

NEW York, February 25--fSpecial There
were many republicans assembled today at the
republican club, 40. y West Twenty-eight
street They composed the executive and sub
executive committee of the national republi-
can league. It is the first meeting of these
bodies since the Chckcring hall national cen
yention Of republican clubs held in December.
The executive committee consists of one mem
Der from each state and territory III which re-
publican clubs have been formed.
A session of the sub-eXecutive committee
was held at II O'Clock and the general meeting
was began at l o'clock. Both sessions were
executive and not open TO the public. Most of
the day was taken up in listening to and dis
cussing the reports of the progress OF the club
movement in the different states and terri
tories After these were heard plans were
submitted for vigorous canvass from now
until the end of the campaign the intention OF
the committee being to take up organization
in every state where local clubs are unable TO
do So All the members reported that the
club movement is going ahead with undated
enthusiasm
Judge John a. Caldwell. who is the execu-
tive committee man from Ohio says:
'fhe outlook with us is very bright. Gin
cmnati has three OF the largest clubs of any
state in the union. The Lincoln, Blaine, and
West End. They have an active membership
of between 900 and 5000. We have organ
lied in the city large number of earnest
district clubs and the latest among us to be
formed is n Foraker club which is now in
corporated and has leased and furnished club
house 1t has already 800 members We
have a great many wool growers, and Mr..
Cleveland's recently expressed free trade
views have injured whatever chance he had
heretofore in the state. The general opinion
there is that he will be nominated, but
should not be surprised to see The Ohio de-
mocracy for Iiill''
Secretary T. w. Sanderson, of Newark, said
that when the republican state league of New
JERSEY was organized. there were nineteen
clubs in the state. Since then fifty more have
been formed, and there is an active demand
for constitutions for new clubs.
Executive Committeeman c. S. Forbes, OF
Vermont, said that his state is now organized
more thoroughly than at any time since the
"wide-awalle" campaign of 1860. 1t has 81
clubs, all organized since December, the
members of which include the most prominent
repuplicansof the state.
Committeeman Banners, Of Minnesota. who
has led in the organization of 200 clubs in his
state since the convention, said it was Won
derlul the way tho club idea had grown in the
state. 1t had been taken up with an enthu-
siasm far beyond the most sanguine expec-
tations.
President Foster, who returned last night
from the Michiganc Tub dinner said affairs in
that state were booming, the club having ,00G
members with branches in different counties
and that there were beside sixty clubs now or
gained in the state.

Gossip About the. Prominent AS
pirantS for Office.

NEW YORK, February 25.-Tomorrow's
World will contain a three column interview
with Mr.. Blaine, which has been cabed from
Europe, by /. f. Crawford, for some time the
Worlds correspondent, in Washington, and
now in Europe. Mr.. Blaine in the course Of a
long conversation designediy asserted that I'M
der no circumstances whatever would he allow
himself to be named in connection with the
presidential nomination. lie insists on the
sincerity Of his withdrawal and insists that he
had made IN his mind thereto long ago. He
considers first that any man whose name has
been associated with defeat in a presidential
campaign owes it TO his party not to allow
himself to be renominated, secondly lie is I'M
equal to facing the fatigues, worry and excite
ment Of another canvass, all the more as he
would feel himself bound to work as hard as
on previous occasions.
Mrs. Blaine and other members of his family
are most emphatic III their approval Of his
withdrawal which is definitive and neither
hasty nor recent III its decision. Mr. Blaine
will not return from Europe until June and
not until after the republican convention. lie
declines to express himself On subject of repub-
lean candidates now in the field, but asserts
that he did not retire III favor Of any particular
one Of them. He is convinced of republican
victory, basing his conviction in particular on
the tariff question.
When Mr.. Blaine was asked the direct cues
ton whether he would, under any ciFcum-
stances. permit his name to be used again as q
candidate, he replied in a most emphatic mega
tive, but then added:
Il do not wish to make any new alternatives
on the subject. | have said all that wish
to say in that letter. That letter, as you must
know, was not a haphazard, ofhand affair.
1t was the result OF much deliberation and
careful thought. You will remember that I
told You in Paris last December. that 1 had 10
intention of being a candidate again and that
| practically made up my mind at that time
to forbid the use Of my name in the approach
