BONES OF FLORIDA.
He Says He In the Victim of an Irish
ConspirnCy.

New YoRK, juno 17.-[Spccai Telegram TO
THE BEE. l-Ex-Senator Charles w. Jones
of Florida writes long letter TO the World
In explanation of his queer conduct He
allows he was out of his mind, and attributes
IL TO n conspiracy Of 1rishmen. He is one,
but has attained political eminence, so he
declares, without their aid. part of tho
conspiracy was the engagement OF his affec-
tions by Boston young woman who Tilted
him. The letter closes.
1t was then whispered about Washington
that II the oonspirators could only get up
another love affair upon Jones, with his
state of mind and heart after his
affection consequent upon the death
af his wife and son, and HIS disappointment
in Massachusetts, IL would kill him, provided
they could have him Tilted. Tho session of
congress then came on and for awhile went
to the senate. but 1 sat motionless in my
seat Everyone saw that my mind was in a
critical state. The last time endeavored to
speak was on the Mexican treaty. i imag-

Mccullough when he played his last Othelo
in Chicago. 1 broke down in the presence of
the whole senate and was taken TO my bed
The conspirators are responsible for all this
suffering. My theory is that they were act.

get rid of me. CuAREs w. JONES.

PORT-AU-PRlNCE NOT TAKEN.
Hippolyte Has the City Surrounded
But Has Not Entered

But Has Not Entered.
NEW YORK, June 7,-lSpeciRl Telegram
to The BEE. The story denying the report
that Hinpolyte, the Haytien insurgent gen,
oral, had captured Port.au-P Prince, was con-
hrmed today by Johannes .Hansteadt, rep.
resentatlve of Hippolyte in this city. Han
steadt said at the time the report of the cap.
ture OF Portau-Prince was received at this
city via London he knew it was untrue, as he
had been kept posted rs to the movements of
his chief, Besides this, he said that Hippo
lytc was too cautious man to attempt to take
the city by, storm from one side,
and that while he knows Hippolyte
IS with his army within a few
miles of Port-au-Prince, he has not
made any attempt to enter or take the city, nor
any demonstrations against it. A movement,
however, is now on foot that will probably
result IN either Port.au- Prince falling into
the hands of the northern soldiers or their
receiving bloody repulse. Mr.. Hansteadt is
anXiously awaiting the arrival of the steamer
Sam Saginaw with authentic news of the
situation, as he understands that Hippolyte
country to the west and south of Port-au-
Prince. with the intention of covering the
city on all sides where an approach can be
made by land. Mr.. Hansteadt received two
cablegrams to-day, one from his correspon-
dent at Port Plato, and the other from his
partner Mr.. Jminez, at Cape Haytien. Both
cabegrams confirmed the report that every
thing was quiet and said nothing of Hippo
lyte having occupied Port-au. Prince Mr.
Hansteadt said, however, he was in receipt
of authentic information that Legitime is in
q very weak kneed condition and desires to
abdicate, but is prevented from doing so by
his generals.
Nothing could be learned from the attaches
OF the Haytien consulate in this city further
than that the declaration that the dispatch
denying Hippolyte's success was true.

LEADING stock men are in favor OF
inaugurating aseries of prize stock ex-
hibitions in Omaha. A fat stock show
should by all means be encouraged. 1t
would be sure to attract the interest of
cattle breeders throughout this and
neighboring states and would lead to
beneficial results. Nebraska is gradu-
ally becoming a great cattle breeding
state, and its fine stock will compare IA
vorably with any in the country. Ex-
elusive fine stock exhibitions take place
annually in the older states and the dis
plays made annually by the farmers of
Ohio, Illinois, New York Massachusetts
and elsewhere have won world-renowned
regulations. Such q project should no
longer be put off in Nebraska and u
characteristic exhibition of our fine cat
tie would fix our place permantly
among the great cattle breeding states.

''Why not sow a little hemp this spring,
kind Of a fibre our soil will producea If it is
a success, while it may not succeed in break
ing up the twine trust, it would have salu-
tary effect upon the Keya Paha county cattle

The Fremont Tribune puts the heading
"Glad to Know 1t" over the following: "W.
H. Michael, Senator Manderson's clerk Of
the senate printing committee has written
letter to The BEE to correct some state
ments made that Mlchaeps brother, who has
been appointed to a position in the govern
ment printing office. secured the position
through the influence of Senator Henderson.
The letter of explanation and denial is very
opportune, and relieves Senator Manderson
of an odium he could not afford to carry.
The appointment of w. H. Michael is big
enough blunder for any official to father.n
All Nebraska should shout, "Give US the
corn tassel" when asked to vote on the
flower to be elevated to the proud position of

egram.
Says the Stromsburg Headlight: 1.-THE
heavy firing at General Van Wyck, has
ceased for some months, and only an occa-
sional picket gun, from some half-asleep,
who was two years behind, has been heard
for sundry moons. But the other day, some
fellow stole a pair of horses from the gen.
eral, and that brought the senator's name
into print, and it was the signal for an at
tack all along the line. Every ring organ
howled that 'old crazy horse was In the
saddle and wanted to be governor next year;
and in the same breath screamed that he was
dead. When we remember how often they
have buried him, it seems as though they are
still making terrible noise over dead
carcas. Is it possible that the ghosts of mur-
dered men come back to haunt them, while
their souls marching on9 The old senator
will probably never ask the citizens of Ne
brasfa to support him again, but whenever
his name appears in print, they go into
spasms, and tremble through and through,
as old Virginia did before silent old John

is JOHN Il. DRUNK?
Sullivan's Friends Think He Has
Taken to the Bottle Again.

New YORK, June 17.-[Special Telegram
to THE BEE. lis Sullivan drunk againr'
was the great question that agltated pug
iiistc circles yesterday. While many be-
lieved the story only too true, others were
inclined to discredit the story entirely.
Among the latter was James Wakely, one Of
his hackers in the forthcoming fight with
Kilrain.

said last evening, "except what have seen
in the papers l do not believe the report.
All can say is, if he has gone back to the
bottle we shall let him go TO New Orleans
and expect to see him licked like chump
1t is too late for his hackers to retreat
now. The $4,000 IS up, and we
can make nothing by default
at this time, and there is always chance to
win, even with odds greatly against one.
If we find John is really off we shall take
him away from Muldoons, but / do not
know where we can send him to finish his

1t has been suggested that there is one
way for Sullivan's hackers to save them
selves and that is by failing to agree on

PROHIBITION IN TWO STA.

To-day Pennsylvania will vote on the
proposed amendment to the constitu-
tion prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of liquors in that state. The cam
paign on both sides had been very active
UP to the date Of tho 'Johnstown ca'am-
ty but since then the people Of Penn
sylvania have given little attention to
anything of a public nature, besides the
terrible loss of life and property by tho
floods, and the duty OF providing Tor the
survivors and replacing what was
swept away. There was no doubt before
this visitation that the vote of the state
would be overwhelmingly against the
proposed amendment, and it is now be-
lieyed, rather curiously as some may
think, that an effect OF the disaster will
be to swell the adverse majority. There
are two good reasons for this Wow, one
that the prohibitionist have been un
able to enlist the public attention, and
the other that people who before fa-
vored the amendment will now be less
disposed to give up the revenue to be

THE immediate improvement of the
New York postoffice service is OF more
than local interest. AS the great dis
tributing mail center OF the country,
the New York postoffice has vital con-
Germ for the people of all sections.
Postmaster-General Wanamaker has
thus early in his term recognized the
necessity of adding to its facilities and
making it more prompt and efficient
agent in the distribution of the mails.
The whole country is likely soon to feel
the effects of the new arrangement,
which would indicate the advantage of
having business man at the head of q

derived under high license system
from the sale OF liquors. The defeat OF
the amendment by at least n hundred
thousand majority, with greatly re-
duced vote, would not be at all surpris-
ing, but in any event the popular
verdict against this effort to engraft q
prohibition amendment on the constitu-
tion of the state promises to be so large
rs TO constitute n vigorous rebuke OF its
authors and advocates and an equally
strong endorsement and vindication of
the policy OF high license. That policy
has been on trial in Pennsylvania for
something over II year, and the excel
lent results from it in the larger cities
have supplied most convincing argu-
ment against resorting to policy which
has failed of its purpose in every state
where it has been adopted. When to-
day closes Pennsylvania will have taken
place in tho list of states which
during the last two or,three years have
rejected prohibitory constitutional
amendments.
On Thursday, Rhode Island will settle
tho question whether the amen dment
she adopted in 1885 shall remain. 1t is
not questionable that prohibition has
failed in that state. In the principal
city OF the state, Providence, the
number of places whore liquor is sold is
larger than under high license, and the
same is true OF nearly every town in
Rhode Island with any considerable
manufacturing population. The best
proof of the failure of prohibition in the
state is in the fact that so large pro-
portion of the people demanded its re-
peal that after nearly three years. trial
the legislature yielded and resubmitted
| the question. The result in Rhode
| Island Is not so clearly foreshadowed as
in Pennsylvania, but the most trusts
worthy advices indicate the abrogation
| of the amendment. The experience of
| Rhode Island with prohibition has
shown clearly that nothing short OF a
general sentiment in favor of the policy
can secure its enforcement in anything
like a satisfactory manner, and in no
state having prohibition is the senti-
| ment in support of it general. The abb
| rogation of the amendment in Rhode
| Island would be even more significant
than the defeat of the proposed amend
| meut in Pennsylvania.

A CoLORED LEADER,S COUNSEL

A COLORED LEADERS COUNSEL.
Ex-senator Bruce addressed letter
full of good sense to the conference of
men of his race just held at Jackson,
Mississippi, to consider the condition of
the colored people. Mr.. Bruce sees in
the condition of his race at this time,
as contrasted with that OF thirty years
ago, evidence of substantial and hopeful
progress. The intellectual, moral and
material status of the PRESENTS superior
to that of the past, and there is nothing
in it to indicate race failure or ten
dency to race deterioration. In order
to maintain this advancement the race
must cultivate industry, economy,
thrift and integrity. Owing to its
peculiar and exceptional condi-
tion, the race must for time depend
upon state and national authorities for
educational privileges, but this should
not be the sole reliance. There should
be generously and cheerfully added
thereto, says Mr.. Bruce, "Our own
contributions towards supplying that
satisfactory education for the youth of
our race so vitally important to both in
dividual and race progress" The inn
pediment to- advancement which results
from denial to the colured race, south,
of political and civil rights is calmly
dwelt upon, without resentment or
hopelessness. Mr.. Bruce believes in
the ultimate triumph of Justice,
he has faith in the suhiciency
Of the constitution and laws of
his country to secure to every citizen
his rights, and he does not entertain a
doubt that time will set all things right.
"Our estate" he observes, Though
embarrassing, is still hopeful, and am
sure that abundant and permanent de-
liverance will ultimately come to all
who heretofore have deserved and
faithfully wrought for it," The Judi
cious and conservative utterances OF
Mr.. Bruce will very likely not find ac-
ceptance with all the men of his race.
There are radical and hot-headed lead
ers among them who will spurn the
counsel to patiently and hopefully wait
for time 10 bring in the reign
of right and justice. Such men
may have their uses in assist
ing to work out the problom of the
colorcd race. But they are not the
safest guides for the race, though they
may do we'll in keeping up it's courage
and spirit. 1t will be more secure in
following the counsel and leadership of
men like Bruce, who better understand
its character and condition.
