Gen. Green Clay Smith Favored for
the Presidential Nomination.
LOUISVILLE, April 12-The Prohibition
State Convention assembled this morning
shortly after II o'clock in Lieierkranz Hall
in this city. Five hundred and twenty-five
delegates are entitled to seats in the conven-
tion, and the number in attendance approx
imates $50. The meeting is one of the larg
est ever held by the Prohibitionists in the
State. All the prominent members of the
party in the State are present. The object
of the convention is to select
delegates to the National Prohibition
convention, which will be held in Indian
apolis June 6. Each Congressional district
is entitled to two delegates, and four will be
sent to represent the State at large. Those
most talked about as candidates to repre-
sent the State in the national convention
are Gen. Green Clay Smith, of Lexington: !:
Judge Fountain T. Fox, of Louisville, I.
B. Demaree, of Madison county, George
w. Balm. of Lexington, Josiah Paris, of
Paducah and Col. Lucian Anderson, an ex-
member of Congress! At the National
Convention, it was stated last night, it was
very probable that Gen. Fisk, of New
Jersey, would be the party nominee, al
though Green Clay Smith has strong
following, and his claims will be urged by
Smith out of the way, Mr. Fisk will be
Kentucky's second choice.
The delegates to the national convention
from the State at large were chosen.
THE PLATFORM.
At the afternoon session the convention
adopted resolutions as follows:
First, That the greatest question before
the American people is just settlement of
the evils of liquor traffic.
Second, That the State and national pro-
hibItion supported by a Political party is
the only effectual remedy for those evils.
Third, That all tax and license laws max
ing crime a source of revenue should be re-
pealed.
Fourth, That support be pledged to the
National Convention at indianapolis, May
30, next.
Gen. Green Clay Smith was unanimously
indorsed, and the delegates instructed to
vote for him for the Presidential nomina-
tion. Clinton B. Fiske was named as the
second choice.

BREWERS ON A STRIKE.
The War of the Employers on the
Union the Cause.

CHICAGO, April 12.--All the union mails
ters and brewers in Chicago went ON
strike at 4 o'clock this morning. The move
had been imminent for some time, and had
its origin in a circular issued by the brew
cry proprietors, which in substance an
nounced their determination to refuse
recognition of any brewers and masters
unions
The immediate cause of the strike was one
non-union man employed in Ernst Bros
brewery. The union men employed there
demanded the discharge of the Intruder
This was refused and a strike of Ernst's
men followed. A meeting of the Brewers
and Masters Union resolved to back up
the Ernst men. Negotiations were fruitless
and this morning 300 masters and brewers
quit work, stopping every brewery in the
city, except Ernst Bros, and throwing out
of employment probably 1,500 to 2, 900 men.
Ernst Bros. establishment Is working, be-
cause the proprietors some days ago
secured force of non-union
men. Another cause of irritation
is the determination of the employing
brewers not to renew contracts for year
with the men, and not to recognize unions
in dealing with the workmen. A similar
stand has been taken by the Milwaukee EN-
ploying brewers and the circular before
referred to has been distributed there
The Chicago Brewers and Malsters' Union
is not in good financial condition. 1t bas n
good many Socialists in it, and furnished
the bulk of the money expended in the de-
fense of the Haymarket rioters. The union
was organized by Oscar Neebe, one of the
HaYmarket men, who is now serving a
fifteen years sentence in the penitentiary
for his share in that affair Tho employing
brewers do not care to reduce the wages of
their men, nor to increase the working
hours, but they desire to free themselves
from the dictation of the Brewefs Union.
A THREAT IN NEW YORK.
NEW YORK. April 12-The Master Brew
ers' Association to-day publish an adver
tisement giving notice that unless the boy
colt placed on them by the Central Labor
Union of this city is removed by April 10
they will ''reorganize their working force"
by wedding out all malcontents, and they
have opened an office for the registry of
names of applicants for work. The work
men in the breweries are very un-
easy over this movement. The Mas
ter Brewers Associations of Mil
waukee and Chicago have sent telegram
upholding the action of their New York
brethren.
A STRIKE AT CINCINNATI.
CINCINNATI, April 12.-There is a strike
in Moerlins brewery, which grew out of

About thirty-six of the 150 men are already
out and the dissatisfaction is spreading.

The Tariff and Appropriation Bills
Next on the Tapis.
WASHINGTON, April 12-There was a
good deal of speculation among the MEM
bers of the House after adjournment to-day
as to the probable course of business in the
immediate future. Not few members were
congratuating themselves on the fact that
the swamp land indemnity bill, which was
the special order for to-day, had been
sent back to its remote place on
the calendar. Strong opposition bad
been worked up aga nst this particular
measure, and it was feared that an insist
ance uron its consideration woull result in
repetition Of the events of the past week.
1t was broadly hinted that the obstructive
tactics, ostensibly against the direct tax
bill, were really in large part directed
against the swamp land bill. As il is, the
special ORDERS made by the House upon the
recommendation of the Committee ON Rules
covering the present and last week have all
been swept aside, and although some
Of the chairmen Of committees,
thereby deprived Of days, express an i1ten-
ton TO make renewed efforts to secure other
assignments of special dates for the con-
deration Of their bills. II is tho general
impression that but few will succeed but
that the appropriation bills and tariff bill
will consume the time of the House for a
long time TO come.

A Significant Feature of the Recenf

Mormon Conference. Y
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, April 12.-The
annual conference of the Mormon church,
which has closed its four days session,
brought people from all the States and
Territories whore there are Mormons. The
feature of the occasion was an epistle
signed by Wilford Woodruff, in behalf
of the twelve apostles, which differs
materially in tone from similar papers is
sued by his predecessors It is an exhorta-
ton to the people TO lead pure lives, being
simply such an epistle as any bishop or pas
tor of Chris IAN congregation might pre-
sent to his flock. The late President John
Taylor used TO make use of these epistles to
advocate polygamy and argue its rightful-
ness by reference TO the Old Testament
and alleged Mormon revelations, but
President Woodruff has ignored the subject,
evidently being determined 10 keep the
church in line with tho movement inaugI-
rated year ago to abolish the plural wife
system. A significant circumstance is the
fact that when during the conference,
young elder from the country named Claw
son, being called TO the pulpit, spoke in
favor Of continuing the practice Of poly
gamy, his utterances were repudiated on all
hands. In this connection it is stated that
there is no evidence OF a polygamous mar
riage having taken place for more than a

GOOD CHEER FROM CoNKL ING.
He Passes the Night in Restful Sleep
Everybody Hopeful

NEW YORK, April 12-The news from
Mr.. Conkling's sick chamber this morning
was of most.cheering character, and there
was every reason to believe that the dread
crisis had passed. Mr.. Conkling spent one
of the best nights since his illness began.
The attacks of delirium did not manifest
themselves at all during the night. The
patient slept off and on, and there were
few, if any, symptoms Of pain exhibited
during his sleep. About 8 o'clock this morn
ing he awoke and was given drink, when
he do zed off soon again, and up to $3.50
o'clock he was still sleeping soundly.
JUDGE CoxE's CHEERFULNEss.
At 8 o'clock this morning Judge Coke,
who left the house, announced the welcome
intelligence that Mr.. Conkling had slept
well all night Judge Coke said: He
awoke at $3.50 o'clock this morning for a
short time, but quickly dozed off again,
and left him sleeping now"
DR.. Barker left the house at 730 o'clock.
He too had cheerful news. "Mr. Conkling, "
he said, ''passed a good night and every
thing now looks promising"
MRS COMBINES GOOD SPIRITS.
At $50 o'clock Mrs. Conkling was seem
pearance since yesterday. There was hope
in the faithful wife's voice and eye. She.
too, had slept, and much of the haggard
appearance had left her countenance. She
said that DR.. Hartley had just informed
her before he left that her husband had
passed one of the most comfortable nights
since he had been ILL., She herself had only
been called once or twice during the night,
and had enjoyed, like her husband, some
refreshing sleep. She was overjoyed at the
favorable indications in the sick chamber.
ENCOURAGING REPORTS.
New YORK, April II, 10 P M-The re-
ports from Mr.. Conklings sick room to-
night are more encouraging. He has slept
the greater part of the afternoon and even
ing. His principal physicians have paid
but short visits, and the family and attend
ants seem under no special concern tonight.

BISMARCK'S POWER.
No Doubt But That The Marriage VIII
Be Postponed.


BERLIN, April 12.-The Cologne Gazette
states that Prince Bismarck's interview
with the Empress on Tuesday and his audi
ence with the Emperor yesterday resulted
in bringing the question of the marriage of
Prince Alexander and Princess Victoria to
a standstill. The crisis, in so far as it re-
lates to the Chancellor, is not likely to reach
more acute stage within tho near future.
A PROMISE TO THE GEAR.
Dispatches from Vienna, affirm that the
interview between Prince Bismarck and the
Car in November last had reference to the
marriage of Prince Alexander and Princess
Victoria, and that the Chancellor at the
time declared that such a marriage should
never take place, at least while his advice
was accepted.
VERY MELoDRAMATIC.
The Post states that at the conclusion of
her long conference with Prince Bismarck
the Empress grasped the Chancellor's two
hands and said: II sacrifice my daughter
on the altar of the fatherand"
Other papers pint various reports One
story is to the effect that Prince Bismarck
before tho conference, formally tendered
his resignation, but that the Emperor re-
fused to accept 1t.
The worry over the crisis has had bad
effect upon the Emperor's health. The
rumor that another swelling has appeared
in his larynx is repeated tonight.
Owing to fits of coughing last night the
condition of the Emperor was less satisfac-
tory this morning.
GIVEN A DIAMOND NECKLACE.
Princess Victoria received from her pa
rents as a birthday present a diamond neck
lace. 1t is reported that tho Princess has
voluntarily agreed to postponement of
her engagement to Prince Alexander
RUSSIAN OPPOSITION.
ST. PETERSBURG, April l2.--The Journal
de 50. Petersburg, referring to the proposed
marriage of Prince Alexander and Princess
Victoria, says: "The facts cannot be effaced
from the pages of history. Every one knows
the causes which alenated Prince Alexan-
der from his august protector, and every
one remembers the late Emperor's condem-
nation of the Princes actions, which were
not only ungrateful but compromised the
peace of Europe. Who knows but that the
placing of Prince Alexander in
new high position might rekindle
a thought of his return among the leaders
of the Bulgarian revolution, and notwith-
standing assurances to the contrary, defer
the establishment of tranquility in the Bal
kans and also of the Pacific relations be-
tween the powers The question is how to
reconcile these possible consequences with
Prince Bismarck's programme and Enl-
peror Frederick's pacific views and friendly
assurances. We are certain that German
policy will know how to weigh the conse-
quences and prevent possible dangers to the
relations between Russia and Germany and
to the general peace"

PARIS, April 12.-The Chamber of Depu-
ties will be reopened April 80, and, it is ex-
pected, will remain in session. until the be-
ginning of May. In expectation of a debate
on the policy Of the Cabinet the President
has postponed his journey 90 the South and
M. Floquet his tour of the departments.
A crank fired three shots from "A revolver
at the gates of the Elysee palace, the Presi-
dents residence, to-day. Upon being ar
rested he said in explanation that he wanted
President Carnot to attend TO grievances of
which he was victim.
NJ La Lande, Deputy of the Department
of Gronde has written a letter to NJ
LGrande, Minister of Commerce, in which
he says that the proposed English duty on
bottled wines is preiudicial TO the wine
growing industry, and that the wine mer
chants of Bordeaux beg the government to
protect their interests.
The Crown Prince has not visited his
father for week and both he and the
Crown Princess were absent from his sisters
birthday dinner party to-day.
1t is stated that upon receiving a letter
from Prince Bismarck to-day the Emperor
summoned the Chancellor to the Castle and
as q result Of the conference between them,
the proposed marriage was abandoned for
the present.
The now development in the Emperor's
malady is an acute swelling of the tissues
surrounding the orifice, through which the
canua is inserted. DR. Bergmann remained
with the Emperor all night.
The FignrO says the Orleanists will meet
Saturday at the residence Of the Count of
Paris at Twickenham, England, to decide
upon the advisability Of supporting or con-
demning the union of the sections of the
French Conservative party who are advo-
eating the cause of Gen, Boulanger.
A MANIFESTO.
A manifesto has been issued TO the electors
of the Department Du Nord, signed by
Deputies Laguerre, Susini, Saur, Herrisse
and MichelIn, protesting against the en-
ployment Of police and other measures
which they attribute 10 the government 10
prevent the election Of Gen. Boulanger
The manifesto declares that the General is
a Republican and will enter Parliament to
maintain the programme of sincere
democratic reforms, and that he will defend
France and the republic.
BOULANGER BLUNDERs.
NJ. de Freycinet, Minister Of War, has
rescinded the order enforced by Gen. Fer
ron and Gen. Logerot against the playing
of Boulangist airs in the army. Gen. Bou-
LANCER has recommended 10 the electors of
DordOgne ex-Minister Fourton, who urged
Marshal Macmahon to become dictator as a
stepping stone TO a monarchist regime.
This is considered a blunder on the part Of
Con. Boulanger, NJ Fourton being regarded
with aversion throughout the country.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE VICTORY.
1t Shows the Strength of the Revenue
Reformers.

Reformers.
WASHINGTON, A pIil 12.-The Democratic
caucus did its work well. 1t has broken the
dead lock, postponed the consideration of
the direct tax bill until the next session,
and by adiourning the House, prevented
the consideration of the $40, 100000 swamp
land grab bill set for to-day, thus throwing
IL over until the end of this session or the
beginning of the next session. 1t is great
victory for the tariff reform leaders They
directed the filibustering, they controlled
the caucus, and they accomplished their
purpose. They have demonstrated both
strength and wisdom, and now are more
confident than ever that e. ey will be
able to get the tariff Till up
on Tuesday next and get it through the
House by the middle Of May. They think
nothing has suffered by the deadlock,
although the Cultivate Union Pacific bill
