ANTI-SALOONISTS.
Radical Republican Reformers-Sa-

Radical Republican Reformers-Sa-
looms to be wiped Out.
NEW YORK, May 2.-The second national
Republican anti-saloon conference began
this morning in the Cooper institute. Dele
gates from all the stateswere in attendance.
Chairman Griffin, In his opening address,
said that the only way in which the move
ment cen be successful is to have the help
of others whs are not now in the move
ment Seventy-tive per cent Of the Repub-
licans, he continued, are opposed 10 the
saloons, and consider il a paramount ques-
tion. Fifteen per cent more care more for
political movements than the saloon Ques-
tion, and only ten per cent favor the saloons.
Only one-half of l per cent of the Repub-
lican party are in The saloon business, and
we hope that by the action OF the next nat
ionaI convention this element will be
eliminated from that business.
Letters Of regret were read from Joseph
T. Havley, William NJ. Evarts, John Sher-
man and William Window.
QMr. Griffin introduced General Thomas j..
Morgan of Rhode Island as temporary
Chairman. Mr.. Morgan made an eloquent
appeal 10 the young men of the country to
join in the work of driving the influence Of
the saloons from politics.
General Stewart l.. Woodford then well
coined the conference in a brief speech. He
said if ne had the power he would stop the
sale of liquor altogether. II know that
three fourths of the people of New York
City drink liquor. There are not Federal
bayonets enough in this country to enforce
the prohibition of liquor. Let us, then. 20
to Chicago, declare onr opinions and work
for our candidates"
Senator John Sherman in letter of re-
gret says: II certainly would support all
reasonable measures tending TO restrain
the evils that flow confessedly from the
sale of liquors in saloons. The remedy de
pends SO much upon the state OF public
opinion in the community in which the law
is to operate, that no rule of prohibition or
even regulation can be successfully en-
forced in all places alike"
Members of the national committee so
far named are Hon. f. 5. Page of Vermont
and General A. b. Nettleton of Minnesota.
At the opening of the afternoon session
the following telegram was sent TO the
Republican state convention at Springfield,
ILL.,, and the conventions of Republican
clubs at Des Moines and indianapolis. The
national anti,saloon Republicans, in con.
vention assembled in New York City. tele-
graph you cordial greeting with keynote,
1.-The saloons must be destroyed"
Elijah A. Morse Of Massachusetts was
then introduced. He said among other
things, that in 1854 crime was committed
by the Prohibition party-not knowingly,
however-by defeating James G. Blaine.
Ex-Governor Sidney Perhan of Maine
was made permanent chairman. The re
mainder of the afternoon session was
spent listening to reports of progress Of the
work in various states, .all of which were
favorable.

He glanced casually at the people and they

that almost amounted to frenzy. The Prince

marched by, then. saluting his brilliantly
uniformed staff, he cantered away. Dur

SAN MARCIAL, N. M, April S0.-A
remarkable story comes from Mormon

rivals for the affections OF a young cowboy
named Whitman The latter is Gentle

shots and found Miss Ballon lying on the
ground seriously wounded. The Leemore
girl was standing few feet away with a
pistol In her hand. She averreda that they

pchver News.
The Board OF Managers of the State
Capitol held q meeting yesterday afternoon
and looked over the bids submitted for
completing the state capitol. Without
violating any confidence, 1t can be stated
that the result was not very satisfactory.
The thirty-one bids which were received
Oh Monday for the construction of the
building were gone over In detail and 1t
was found that the lowest was something
over 81, 200, COO. In view OF the fact that
there is only ts7o,o with which 10 do
what Architect Myers aud his yet CO.
worker, Richardson, said could be done for
that amount added to the $l30, 600 which
Richardson wasted, the board did not at
tempt to settle the question OF future
course. Instead, they called in Attorney
General Marsh and requested legal advice.
The matter was Laid before the states
counsel In Its proper light and he WIS
ask, for an opinion, which he promised
TO prepare and submit 1t NJ the meeting on
Saturday. That the board is in n quandary
there is no doubt The original appropria.
ton was 81 coo 900, and Architect Myers
prepared plans which were 10 be executed
for III 4. amount The contrsc, tot the con.
struction was awarded TO Mr.. Richardson,
whom Mr.. Myers called upon the scene, and
work WAS beg un. After n great deal
discussion aud trouble, in which Con.
tractor Richardson developed astonish-
Ing lack OF capaoility for builder who
had accomplished SO much, his affairs
became hopelesSly entangled. The boa d
was very In tulgenf, and Architect Myers
WAS decided In his opinion that Richard
sons contract would be satisfactorily car
ri.d out. Bat 1t was not, and after much
whining on Richardson's part and patience
on thai of the board IL was decided 10 relct
the contract Richardson sued the state
for about 60 zoo, which he claimed was due
for extra work. This suit is still pending.
The board advertised for bids three months
ago, and the contract for the foundations,
which was as far as Mr.. Richardson ever
got, was let to Geddis & Seerie. This con-
tract isnow under way, and Will shorty be
completed. The contracts for the other
work is now before the board, nd prom
ises to give considerable trouble.
CCompetent authorities, Architect Myers
perhaps accepted, have held all along that
the appropriation OF tl,ooo, coo was inade-
quato TO carry out the plans submitted by
Myers, and ihat their Judgment was cor
rect finds substan tiation in the present dif
fculty. There is, as stated, but $50. 900

and this will certainly not pay for sl,2N,'
600 worth OF work. There are two COURSES
open TO the board. one OF which vii, be
adopted, at least,if the state is 10 havea cap

Pope ana Land League.

LONDON. April s0.-A dispatch from
Rome says that the College OF the Holy
Office was charged to examine Mo,signor
Persico's reports and state whether the
Catholics belonging TO the National League
were guilty of sin and debarred from abso-
luton. The congregation, the Pope pre-
siding, replied in the affirmative and drew
up decree TO that effect.
Cardinal Simeoni, acting under the
Pope's orders. forwarded the decree 10 Ire
land, with special instructions TO Monsignor
Persico and the Irish episcopacy, wh.n
isstructing the clergy to enforce it, TO in
form them that they must refuse absoiu-
ton TO anyone declining to renouuce MEM
bership In the National League.
II Is further stated that neither the
League nor its political aims are explicitly
condemn ed by the Holy 0fIice, which con-
fines itself to declaring that the methods
employed are contrary to the religious du.
ties of Catholics. The Pope approved the
decision without in any way -njering into
the political questions pending busws.n
