Is 1t Constitutional

| am IN receipt of letters from
brethren in different parts of tho
State, asking the question, "Is it
constitutional for the Alliance to
pass resolutions for or against the
action of the March Convention ?"
| did not advise against the pass
age of such resolutions because I
held that such action was uncon-

believed that such action would be

Tho alabama Democracy United.

One of the most exciting can
vases for. Governor of Alabama
ever known has ended in the
nomination of Col. Jones for that
position. There were five candidates
for the nomination. Mr.. Kolb, the
State Commissioner of Agriculture,
was the Alliance candidate. lie had
235 votes, but he was still short of
a majority. The united strength Of
the other candidate, was conccntra-
ted on Col. Jones, and he received
the nomination after the ballot was
kept up for over three days. On
the third day the vote of tho coun-
ties commenced and every vote not
for Kolb was cast for Jones. The
result was that Jones had about "a
majority. The ballot was not an
nounccd as Kolb's friends withdrew
his name and moved Jones' nomina-
ton by acclamation.
Great enthusiasm prevailed,
speeches were made by all the candi-
dates, Kolb specially stirring the
hearts of tho convention and plodg-
ing his followers support of tho
ticket and to canvass the State for
tho nominee. The utmost harmony
now prevails and the Democracy
presents united front. Tho town
is perfectly wild with enthusiasm, as
this is the home of Colonel Jones.
Brass bands arc out and the people
are cheering. Such scene as took
place in the capitol and on the streets
has never been witnessed here before.
The convention adjourned to Q
O'Clock, as it was impossible to pro-
cccd on the regular order.

HUNTINGTON'S POLICY.
STRAINED RELATIONS BETWEEN
HIM AND STANFORD.
Let's the Cat Out of the Bag-Crocker
Couldn't Smooth the Trouble Over.

SAN Francisco, April 10.-Both Senator
Stanford and G. p Huntington declined
to be interviewed today when newspaper
representatives sought to inquire into
the personal differences that are said to
have arisen between the two men. Greed
Raymond, general solicitor of the COM
pany, was asked "What do you think
will be Mr.. Huntington's policy in the
administration of the affairs of the COM
pany?"
swell, he has already announced his
policy; whether he will be able to carry
it out or not can't tell. Maybe the young
men of the State could tell they are the
people who are now running things"
"What are the facts CT the interview
between Crocker, Huntington and Stan
ford in New York when the proposition
that Stanford should resign is said to
have been first made =.
"You know there has been some feel
ing between Huntington and Stanford
for some time. When Colonel Crocker
went East he hoped to smooth over the
trouble. He returned thinking he had
done so; SO this thing is as much of
surprise to him as to anybody else;
l did not read all of Mr.. Huntington's
remarks before the Board of Directors. l
read only as far as his reference to Mr..
Stanford's election as United States
Senator. There was not a cent of this
company's money used for that
purpose, though Mr.. Huntington
may think so. 1t sometimes
happens that railroad company
may think it wise to contribute to the
funds of one or both parties. A large
corporation like this has very many
sources of expense which are not gener-
ally KNOWN
"Who will be your successor as head
of the law department, Mr. Raymond ?"
Harvey S. Brown will be the man, l
think"
''Is it true, as has been said, that your
resignation was caused by the fact that
you were a close friend of Senator
Stanford, and aided him in his political
ambitions?"
"Senator Stanford never had any po-
litical ambition. The full history of
that campaign never has been published.
Some day it may all come out and then
it will be seen that his inter-
ests were those of the State.
He had to accept the nomination
to save the Republican party from utter
ruin and destruction. The reason why
Sargent was not elected Senator is
known probably to only three men in
the world. One of them is called Hay
mond.'
"Will the Senator be candidate for
reelection ?''
"Oh, yes; and he will be elected. 1

MADRID, April 10.-The arrival of the
Carlist leader, the Marquis D'Errallbo,
at Valencia today was made the occasion
of an anti-Carlist demonstration. Thous-
ands Of anti-Carlists met at the station,
and followed the Marquis to his hotel.
They smashed many windows. and tried
to set fire to the hotel, when a detach-
ment of troops charged and dispersed
the mob. Many persons were wounded.
A mob of 1000 persons invaded the
Carlist club and set fire to the furniture.
When the firemen came the mob tried
to obstruct them. Another mob tried
to burn church, but was prevented
by detachment of troops. The troops
have failed, however, to disperse the
constantly gathering crowds, who have
built two barricades in the streets. The
military authorities have taken posses
sion of the city, and the whole garrison
is under arms.
At midnight the rioting continues. The
troops have made several charges. Many
persons have been injured and some
killed, though orders were given to avoid
bloodshed as long as possible.
Several members of the Carlist club
fired revolvers into the crowd and three
were wounded. The mob also attempted
to attack the Jesuits' college. Order
was restored after midnight. The troops
occupy various points throughout the

His 'Ludship" Refused Admission to
the Casino at Monte Carlo.
MONTE CARLO, April 10.-The English
colony is agitated at an ''indignity" to
which the British Premier and his wife
were subjected last evening at the
Casino. 1t seems that Lord and Lady
Salisbury appeared at the entrance to
the Casino without tickets, and admis-
sion was refused them. Lord Salisbury
sent for the British consul and
demanded an interview with the
Casino officials. On the arrival
of the consul explanations were
made and tickets promptly procured.
At the same time the officials made the
humblest apologies for the inconvenience
and annoyance to which the distin-
guished visitors had been exposed. But
Lord Salisbury's indignation could not
be appeased. AS his identity had been
doubted, he produced blank passport,
signed it officially in the presence of the
abashed and apologetic officials, and
stalked away, refusing to enter the
Casino.

DALLAS, Tex, April 10.-Charles and
Commodore" Miller, indicted for rob-
bing an express car on the Texas and
Pacific road near this city, year ago,
were placed on trial today. After the
robbery no clew could be obtained to the
perpetrators. Several months later the
Millers were arrested for another crime.
Charles turned States evidence and
confessed that he and his brother COM
mitted the express robbery, had raped
two white women, robbed stores and
residences and sand-bagged pedestrians.
The case has been tried from time
to time, but without coming to convic-
tion or acquittal. The Commodore"
had always until today maintained his
innocence, but when he learned that
Charles had turned States evidence and
would 60 free, he hastened to confess,
himself, and told of more crimes than
Charles had made known. This caused
a sensation in court, and the case was
adjourned until the 18th.

NATIONALIST FACTIONS.
The Seceders Organize an Independent
State Convention.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1O.-The Con-
vention of Independent Nationalists,
composed of the seceders from the regu-
lar State Nationalists Convention, opened
in the Palace hotel today, with j. w.
Hynes, of San, Jose presiding. A plat
form was adopted demanding Govern
ment ownership of railroads and tele-
graph lines; ownership by municipal
tiles of street railways, water, gas and
light; the election of United States Sem
ators by direct vote of the people; the
adoption of the Australian ballot system,
and other measures.
A resolution was adopted declaring
that this is the only legally authorized
and organized convention of the Nation
alists, and Colonel G. E. Daley, of Los
Angeles; Mrs. Roberts, p. r. Martin
and Albert Curtin, San Francisco; J. K.
Moore, San Jose; G. w. Owen, Santa

STANLEY IN EUROPE.
The Great Explorer Interviewed Upon
His Landing in Italy.

BRrND1sI, April 1O.-Stanley arrived
here today en- route to Brussels. Speak
ing of Emin Pasha, Stanley said he did
not believe he would attempt to recon-
quer the equatorial province. An i'm
mense effort, he declared, would be
necessary to eject the Madhists, who
have overrun the province. With refer
ence to the claim made by the Germans
to territory in Africa, Stanley said he
was astonished at their pretensions.
They apparently claimed the whole OF
the country. Stanley also stated that
the Aruwhipmi forest, which belongs to
the Congo Free State, was enormously
rich, especially With rubber trees, richer
than the Amazon forests. This section
of Africa, he declared, would be the rub
ber reservoir of the universe.
LONDON, April 10.-The Herald prints
an interview with Stanley, in which the
latter maintains that the Germans in
fluenced Emin while he was sick. Stan
ley thinks the Germans intend to annex,
and will act on these plans. If Germany
secures the lake regions, he says, it will
destroy the whole value of the British
coast possessions. The conquest of the
Soudan would cost $4,000, 900, and no
Government in Europe has the stamina
to undertake it.

SILVER FOREMOST.
REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN MEET
IN CONFERENCE.
The Silver Question Gives Them Much
Anxiety-The Presidential Vote All
That Stands in the Way.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-A caucus of
Republican Representatives was held
tonight. The silver problem threw
everything else in the background.
Chairman Conger, of the coinage COM
mittee, explained the Window bill as
modified. He believed the meas
ure strong, and calculated to meet
the public demand for liberal
supply Of money. A Representa-
tive from one of the new Western States
was for free coinage, and declared it
could be established without danger and
with benefit. Representative Walker
advised the Republicans to support the
committee bill.
In the course of debate the Senate
committees proposition to coin four and
a-half millions of silver monthly was dis
cussed and found some adherents. One
of the objections made to the House COM
mittee's bill, was that there was no in
ducement for anyone to sell silver to the
treasury at the market price, as he
could more readily sell it at
the nearest market to individuals.
beneficial effect would still obtain; that
kept at the maximum.
A feature of the debate was the re-
markable strength of the free-coinage
men, and as an Eastern member said,
the House is apparently restrained from
passing a free-coinage bill, only by fear
Of the Presidential veto.
Mckinley championed the committee
bill, and Cannon showed decided lean
ing toward a compromise between the
House and Senate propositions. No
attempt was made to vote on any propo-
sition except one providing for the ap-
pointment of committee of sixteen,
including the Republican members Of
the coinage committee, to consider the
entire subject, consult with the Repub-
lican Senate committee, and endeavor to
arrange project for next Monday nights
caucus.
The committee of Republican Senators
charged with the duty of framing
silver bill to secure the support of the
majority of the Senate, held long meet
ing tonight at Senator Sherman's house.
1t is understood nothing definite was ac-
complished, and another meeting will
be necessary. There are two PROPOSE
tions before the committee, one to
authorize the unlimited coinage of silver
bullion produced in the United States,
the second to limit the amount of silver
to be coined to sixty millions year, to
be purchased by the Secretary of the
Treasury without regard to the place
produced. The impression prevails that
the latter proposition will be adopted.
