The Grown Princes Best Day.

SAN RENO, Feb. 2O-Midnight.-The
Crown Prince passed the best day he has
had since the operation. The cough and
expectoration has absted and the patient is
in good spirits. The Prince of Wales ar
rived to-day and was met by the Grand
Duke of Hesse, Prince Henry and
Princess Irene. He Immediately Wis
tied the Crown Prince and diDed with
him. he Will remain until Wednesday.
The meeting to-day between the Prince
and his sister, the Duchess of Baden, was
extremely affecting. The Prince being un-
able to speak resorted to pathetic signs.
The Duchess broke down in food of tears.
The weather is cold and unhealthy. 1t is
expected that there will be decisive turn
for good or i'll in the Princes condition
within ten days. DR.. Mackenzie in an in
terview confirms the report of dissension
existing among the Princes medical ad-
visers. DR.. Mackenzie said that he remained
at San Reno at the desire OF the Prince,
but left the treatment of the case in the
hands of Or. Bergman. DR.. Krause sides
with DR.. Mackenzie.

All, There, CARRIER.
New Albany Ledger. !

Mr.. NJ. G. CARRIER, President of the Re-
publican Editorial Association, in his
speech at Indianapolis said:
ISL The RePGblicsn a.. party in the campaign of
lSoe, presents as its first and paramount Issue
tne sanctlty oi the ballot box. The Republican
frauds upon the suffrage OF the people The
Democratic everywhere is. These continual out
RACES upon the bsllot-box have grown into
national ISSUE"
Mr.. CARRIER is q represent tatiye Republi-
can. He is well versed in Indiana politics.
He is.especially well posted in regard to
politics and elections in Madison, where be
resides and -edits an able Republican paper.
Is it possible that in making a speech
before the assembled dignitaries OF his
party that he forgot the record made by a
Republican trustee of Madison county, a
few years ago2 Surely be ought to have
borne that in mind, and should also re-
member what party was benefited by and
defended the fraud. Perhaps the Herald
can enlighten Mr.. CARRIER as 10 the details OF
the matter.
Mr.. CARRIER also forgot to mention tue
fact that in 1864 gangs of soldiers we're tent
out from Indianapolis over various rail-
roads and voted at all the precincts that
could be reached during the day.
The speaker also forgot that for Quarter
of q century ballot box stuffing, tally-sheet
frauds and other ways and means we're re.
sorted to by Republican leader. to control
the vote Of Indianapolis.
Mr.. CARRIER omitted the fact that few
years ago men were marched up to the
polls in South Bend and voted by their
Republican bosses, on the command to
vote that ticket or you are discharged"
President CARRIER also failed to remind
his hearers that but few years ago the
owners of more than one factory in Massa-
oh ffo 4hofr
they owned them, and the matter is OF
legal record. The same was true in other
States, and yet nobody even heard Of the
Republican party making any strenuous
exeltions to put stop to such frauds on
the ballot. On the other hand, the party
leaders sought to cover up the crime, spol-
ogize for and defend the criminals.

STRIVING DEMOCRATS.
A Hot Contest for the National Conven-
ton Going on in Washington.

Hot Contest for the National COnven-
tiOn Going on in Washington.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The delegation
from the western cities are as busy as bees
tonight striving to secure the honor Of
entertaining the next Democratic conven-
ton. Three principal delegations, Chi.
cago, st. Louis and San Francisco, are ell
confident of success. All three unite in
declaring the convention will 90 west and
assert that the Cincinnati people realize
that their fight is almost hopeless one.
OF the three delegations, San Francisco
is the most enthusiastic and it is admitted
by the st. Louis delegation that tonight
the talk runs toward the Pacific coast bat
they assert that this is due to the exsrava-
CANT promises that are being made. The
Chicago delegates are the quietest bat their
plan Of campaign is we'll defined, and each
committee does what is allotted to it ana
reports to headquarters without making
much noise. Naturally the rival delega.
tions are unwilling to say much, except
in q general way about their expectations.
When asked If they would have eighteen
votes Mr.. Tarpy, the San Francisco repre-
sentative said, ''yes We will have more than
that"
The st. Louis people say they expect to
be well up in the procession and Chicago
lie evidently feared by the others. From
the best analysis possible it would seem

investigating the Sugar Trust.

New YORK, Feb. 20.-The committee OF
the State Senate to investigate the various
"trusts" began its work here to-day, open
ing with the sugar trust. Henry Have
meyer, of Havemeyer & Elder, testified
that each stockholder surrendered the
stock held in each company, and was given
stock or certificates in the companies in
return. There was no written agreement
as to what should be done by the board
of management of the new organization
after the surrender of the stock. The
Board has the right to place it's officers in
any of the refneries. The witness acknc WI
edged that one refinery in St Louis, two
in st. Louisiana, one in Boston, two
in Philadelphia and two in San
Francisco, had been forced into
the pool. The production of sugar.
since the 1st of December, 1887. has
decreased about oRe-quarter and the
price has gone up. The North River
Company has gone out of business entirely,
but the board has taken its stock. The
amount of stock OF the combined COM
panles for which certificates have been
Issued was $45,OO0,0OO. The board has
decided to close their refneries. Tney
will still get a share of the
profits as If running. Mr.. Hsvemeyer re-
fused to produce a copy OF the "Trust"
agreement. Mr.. Parsons, counsel for Mr..
Havemeyer, and also a member Of the
board, also declined to produce the paper,
claiming q lawyers privilege.

BOUND BY ITS OWN RULES,
The Senate Finds That 1t Cannot Make
the Fisheries Treaty Public.


The Senate Finds That 1t Cannot Make
the Fisheries Treaty Public.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The Senate in
secret session o.day listened to the read
ing of the fishery treaty and then for an
hour there ensued an earnest but unsuc-
cessful struggle TO make it public. The
lead in this matter was taken by Senator
Frye. who is as anxious that his constitu-
ents shall be informed suthoratively SIS to
what they have to hope for from the mat
ter. The motion was gallantly supported,
and would have been successful but for
the discovery that the Senate is powerless,
in the ace of its own rules, to do what it
desires.
To publish the document now would re-
quire a change of rules, and to make q
change or even to discuss proposal to
make change requires q days notice.
Hence as the matter is expected to come
from Ottawa within a day or two, the
Senate contents itself with sending the
treaty to the Public Printer Ito be printed
in confidence" The provisions of the
document are said TO be very much as the
papers have already stated them.
That which seems to hsYe fastened itself
most nrmly upon the senatorial memory
as the hasty reading was progressing is the
provision that the privilege of going into
the Canadian ports to buy bait shall be
withheld by Canada unless the United
States Congress passes laws for the free
admission of fish and oil. The document
is commented upon by one side as prsctlc.
ally conceding that the Canadian conten-
ton has been correct as to the interpreta-
tion of the treaty of 1918. Upon the other
hand, Senators friendly to the administra.
ton express the opinion that all has been
accomplished by the Department that
could be expected, and that a quarrel which
has lasted over half a century has thus been
brought to an end.

MIR. WV. ICorcoran Seriously III.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 19.-Mr. w. w. Cor
coran. the aged millionaire of this city, is
again seriously i'll, and mis- relatives were
telegra pbed for, and arrived here yester-
day. His present illness is not connected
with the partial stroke of paralysis which
he suffered in July last, but is the result
Of bronchial alta OK which has confined
him to his bed for the last five weeks, and
has refused to yield to treatment. Mr..
Corcoran's physician states that during
the past three days his condition has
assumed much graver aspect, and that he
thinks there is good ground for serious
apprehension on the part of his friends and
relatives. Mr.. Corcoran's neice, Miss
Eustis, says that he sleeps heavily and
almost constantly, and that he seldom
rouses sufficiently to recognize those around
him.

LONDON, Feb. 20.-In the Commons this
evening Sir James Ferguson, Parliamentary
Secretary of the Foreign Office, declared
that there was no truth whatever in the
report that any military or naval action
was being taken or contemplated against
Venezuela. Negotiations have been carried
on respecting doubtful territory between
Spanish Guiana and Venezuela. The latter
proposed that the matter be submitted to
arbitration. The British Government was
not averse to the principle of arbitration,
but were unable to accept the basis Vene-
zuela proposed. Negotiations were temper.
airy stopped in consequence of the suspen-
sion OF diplomatic relations by the late
President Blanco. Referring to the New
Hebrides, he stated that the French troops
would evacuate the island within four
months from November 16 last. The date
OF agreement was signed.
Robert Cunningham Graham, the men,
Der imprisoned for taking part in the Traf-
algsr Square disturbances some months
ago and released Saturday, was given an
ovation by the Parneliites when he made
his appearance in the House to-day.
Mr.. Chaplin. Minister of Agriculture,
resumed the debate on the address in re.
ply to the Queens speech. He commented
upon the prolonged depression of agricul-
ture, said the subject was of greater i'm
portance than the Irish question, forming,
perhaps, the greatest problem of the times.
1t was question which the Government
must inevitably deal with at no distant
day. The loss by deficient agricultural
values was estimated for the year 1885 at
43, SOC, 600 pounds sterling. 1t would not
now be less than $4,000, 900 pounds sterling,
an amount equal to reduction Of one.

Many thousands of acres of land had gone
out of cultivation. There had been a con-
current decrease in cattle and sheep. An
other effect of the depression was the in
crease of the masses of unemployed, Re-
liable estimates showed 700, 900 persons.

while those employed were forced to work
at greatly reduced wages. What could the
Government do to assist to a better state of
affairs? He presumed it was not by re-
turn to protection. [CIies of "hearm

remedies. His object was TO obtain from
the Government what the farmers had
right to expect from them.
Lord John Manners admitted the terri
BILE condition of agriculture and said the
Government had no specific against Its de-
preston. He hoped the improvement in
general trade symptoms which is now ap.
parent would lead to improvement in the
condition of the farming interests. Too
little attention had been hitherto given Of
ieially to agriculture. The Gese-nment
therefore decided to ask the two houses to

ment Of Agriculture. Cheers

The Appellate Court Confirms the Decis-
ions as to all the Defendants

The Appellate Court Confirms the Decis-
ions as to all the Defendants,
CHICAGO, February 16.-The Appellate
Court handed down its long-looked-for
decisions in the Doodle cases this morning.
Both cases are affirmed. One was the case
of Edward S. Mcdonald, formerly engi-
neer Of the county hospital, who was in
dicied snd tried jointly with William j..
McGsrigle. After the verdict McGarigle
escaped to Canada, evidently fearing the
three years penitentiary punishment i'm.
posed by the jury. AS he was never sem
fenced by the court, the appeal was only
taken in McDonslds behalf.
Judge Beckwith appeared as chief coun-
sci for Mcdonald, although he did not par
ticipate in the trial. Mr.. Alexander Sulli.
van was chief counsel for the defendants in
the omnibus case in their appeal, and was
the only one Of the seven lawyers original
ly engaged for the defense who was retain
ed in the appeal proceedings. During the
trial, George G. Klehm, ex President of the
County Board, arose and pleaded guilty in
presence of the Jury, after having assumed
to be defending in good faith with the
other eleven. 1t subsequently became
known that while Klehm was attending the
consultations of his co-defendants, he was
clsndestinely meeting States Attorney
Grinnel every night and carrying to him
the secrets of the defense.
The other case is what is known as the
omnibus case in which twelve defendants,
eleven of whom were county or ex-county
commissioners, were put on trial.
The jpr- convicted all eleven and fixed
the pun. nent OF four at fine of 81 900
each, and for the remaining seven at two
years imprisonment in the penitentiary.
The four who were fined promptly paid
their fines. One Of the seven, Captain r.
S. McClsughrey, man sixty.fve years old,
refused to appeal and went directly to the
penitentiary. Attorney Sullivan later Sc
cured stay Of execution, until March 9th,

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 20.-Mr. n. s. Reardon,
conductor Of the Louisville and Nashville
train which was caught in the cyclone at
Mt. Vernon, ILL.,, last evening, and who
had shoulder dislocsted by having q big
trunk hurled against him by the wind
arrived here last night, and gives the fol-
lowing brief account of the scene:
1T was all over in q minute" said he.
1.-THE thing that most impressed me was
the destruction of the County Court House.
a magnificent three-story brick building
The Court House stood in prominent
place, and could easily be seen almost from
the tower to the ground. 1t looked to me
as though the huge pile of brick and NOR
tar had been struck by gigantic bsttering-
ram, or, il you please, by big club in the
hands of power strong enough to knock
IL down at a single blow. 1t seemed to col
lapse at once, spread ont, crush and bury
the buildings surrounding il.
Marcus Aarons, drummer for q Phila-
delphia house. who was passenger on the
train, says: 1T was terrible calamity. l
