E. p. KISNER TRIUMPHANT
RANDALL'S CANDIDATE DEFEATED
 AT HARRISBURG

By a Vote of 42 tc 35-President Cleve-
 Chairman of Pennsylvania's State Demo. cratic Committee.
 HARRISBURG, Jan. 19.-"There are seventy nine members of the state committee" said a Randall Democrat yesterday morning, "and we claim fifty-fve for Sanders sure. kinneI men claim fifty-four sure, and somebody is going to be fooled.n
 All night and all morning the Randall and anti-Randall people worked with will to corral as many delegates as possible. It was noticeable that while both wings of the De mocracy claimed a big majority of the mem bers of the committee, yet neither of them let up ill the least in the work of trying to get more under their banners The advent of MT. Sanders Tuesday evening gave little courage to the Randall people, and they tool heart enough to go to work When Randall got here he received an ovation that any ma1 would be proud of, and his presence not only inspired his followers, but occasioned consid- erable consternation in the ranks of his op- ponents MT. Scott was up bright and early and put more life into his men. So confident were some of the Philadelphians who came here to elect Kisner of his success that they considered the battle over and left for home.
 There was considerable trouble in making up the poll, as there were number of substi- tutes who, it was alleged, were not authorized. and they were challenged. The convention got to work finally and count of the balloi gave the result as Kisner having received 4. votes and Sanders, 35. Cansternation ano dismay seemed to settle over the Randall men, and there were all kinds of apologies to offer for the defeat of their man.
 Elliott F. Kisner, who was elected chair man of the Democratic state committee, is we'll known among the workers in Pennsyl vania politics, having been one of the secre- taries of the Democratic committees for the past eight years He is a member of the Luzerne county bar and resides at Hazelton, where he combines the practice of the law with journalism as one of the editors of The Sentinel. He is gentleman of genial man. ners and great industry, about 45 years oi age, and is generally regarded as a valuable assistant in party management.
 The executive committee is composed of William A. Wallace, William L. Scott, Eek ley B. Coxe, Samuel J. Randall, William Mutchler, William McClelland and J. Henry Cochran. Scott and Coxe are millionaires Scott offered resolution endorsing Cleve- lands administration, which was unanimously carried.
 Harrisburg was fixed as the place, and the 23d of May as the time for the meeting of the state convention.

SATISFACTION DEMANDED ]!
TALK OF EXPELLlNG ITALIANS FROM
 FRENCH TERRITORY.

The Consular Incident at Florence As-
 stunning Serious Aspect-Full Repara-
 tion Insisted Upon-Italy Much Dis
 satisfied-Foreisn Intelligence.
 PARIS, Jan. 19.-One serious aspect ill the unpleasant Franco-Italian consular incident at Florence has hardly been touched.upon by the French papers. The real importance of the whole matter arises from the fact that it is mixed up with the Tunisian question. The Italian officials, in dealing with the property of the Tunisian general whose death at Flor ence brought the French and local authorities into collision, acted under the provisions of convention concluded by the Italian govern ment with the bey of Tunis in 1868 respecting legacies, which convention was specially con- firmed by treaty concluded in 1884. The French government on the other hand holds that the conventions have been abolished by the French protectorate ill Tunis. Now Tunis has always been very sore point in the deal ings between France and Italy, and it is matter of doubt whether the Italian govern ment would care to jeopardize its popularity by yielding to France on so delicate point. The tone of the French papers respecting Prime Minister Crispi is not calculated, more over, to give rise to a conciliatory spirit on the other side of the Alps
 PARIS, Jan. 19.-The Republique Fran caise has telegram from Rome which says that M. Flourens the French foreign minis ter, has complained to Sig. Crispi the Italian foreign minister, of Italy's delay ill settling the French consulate incident, and warned Sig. Crispi that if the Italian judge at Flor ence executes his threat to re-enter the French consulate and seize the papers sought after, France will recall her ambassador and take such measures as the honor and interest of the country demand.
 The incident mentioned consisted of a breach of consular rights on the part of the Florence police, who had searched the French consulate for papers connected with pending lawsuit concerning the disposal of the fortune of the late Tunisian Gen. Hussein, who died short time ago at Florence.
 It is semi-officially announced that Count de Mouy, the French ambassador at Rome, having informed M. Flourens that the pr;etor of Florence had intimated his intention to re- move on Friday the seals affixed by the French consulate to the documents relating to the Hussein succession, M. FIourens has re- quested Count de Mouy to inform Sig. Crispi that if such an act of violence is committed the French government will hold Italy re- sponsible.
 The French consul at Florence has received certain instructions as to the course to pursue in case the incident is prolonged.
 The Paris urges the government to demand complete satisfaction from Italy for the in dignity offered to the French consulate at Florence, and in the event of a failure by Italy to comply, to sever the relations be- tween France and Italy and expel all Italians from France
