TENNESSEE REPUBLICANS.



and Demands Election Law.
NASHVILLE, July 3O.-The Republican
state convention was called to order at
noon. There is larger attendance of del
egates with fewer number of colored
men on hand than usual. Congress Houk
was made permanent chairman.
The platform was adopted with great
applause. 1t reafirms allegiance to the
principles of the last national platform and
endorses the administration of President
Harrison, also the action Of the Republican
represent ,tives in congress, especially
their efforts to enact q protective tariff law.
1t recognizes the right and duty
of congress to pass an effective
national election law, and expresses conf
dence in the wisdom and patriotism of the
Republican party that it will not pass any
law that would unsettle the business inter-
ests of any section OF the country. 1t con-
graduates Republicans upon their wise
solution of the silver question. Strong OPP
position is expressed to trusts, and the bill
recently passed by congress against such
combines is approved. The Democratic
administration of Tennessee is denounced
as weak and short-sighted, non- progressive
and unpatriotic.
Hon. Lewis T. Baxter, of Davidson
county, president of the Nashville Com
mercial Club, was nominated for governor
by reclamation.

New YoRK. July 30.-A morning paper
says: The Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany has made demand upon the repub-
lie Of Guatemala for half million dollars
indemnity for the illegal seizure of a por-
ton of the cargo OF the steamer Colima.
A formal demand was sent to President
Barrillas two days ago, and particulars Of
the claim were also filed with the state de-
partment which has promised to promptly
investigate the matter. President Hous-
ton. it is stated. has confirmed the report.
He says their agent at Guatemala offered
to send back the arms to San Francisco BY
the next steamer and the authorities
agreed. As soop as the arms were loaded
in the launch, however, they seized the
whole consignment.

PROPER DECISION.
Can't Believe What Tacoma
Says About Seattle.
The Seattle Smallpox Hoax MssniAsd
lnte ssrseus Matter. So That Quar-
ansins was Threatsned.

Verona, July 3o.-There was consul
tation ct the custom-house here this morn
ing between the suthorjties OF customs and
quarantine, the outcome of which means
much TO the prosperity Of Victoria and the
Sound country. The debate arose over q
copy Of the Tacoma Ledger. which contained
under alaring headlines telegram referring
to an outbreak Of smallpox in the Seattle
jail. By the strict letter OF the law, the ati-
thorities here felt that they were upon
such announcement, obliged to quarantine
every steamer arriving here that had
touched 1T Seattle. This in the midst of
the tourist season would mean ruin pos
sibly to Alaskan and Coast excursion tfaf-
DC for the year. and serious loss to every
city In this part Of the country.
Finally the authorities decided that the
announcement was made in paper whose
policy had been in the past to injure Seat
tie wherever possible. and sven II it was
only alleged that the pest was in the Jail
and the city was not affected quarantine
would not be rendered necessary, nor will
one be enforced.

CHANGE WORKERS ARRESTED.
Caught Trading q One Dollar Bill 70
Five Dollars.

Caught Trading a One Dollar Bin for
Five Dollars.
Either the police have discovered
clever band of change workers. or two
young men who stand almost convicted of
obtaining money under false pretenses, are
the victim of circumstances. Bernerd e.
and Thomas ]. Buell., brothers. and young
men of very respectable connections, were
arrested yesterday afternoon on Pike street
near Sixth street. by Officer John Huff on
complaint of Mrs. v. T. Chambers, pro-
prietress of a cigar stand.
Mrs. Chambers claimed that Thomas
Buell., the elder of the brothers, had substi-
tuted 81 bill for S. bill while she was
making change for purchase. She had
been interrupted by second party, who
entered while she was counting the money,
and did not notice the bill until after Buell.
had gone. Following him out she caught
him in the act of giving the change to his
brother. The Buells protested that they
had never seen the woman before, but were
taken to police headquarters. There the
elder brother was identified as the man
who worked A. Sapp. Jackson street
grocer, on the same game week ago. The
two were then searched, and package of
cigarettes purchased from Mrs. Chambers
was found on the elder brother, and the
change given him was found on the
younger Buell.. Justice Miller released the
two on cash bail in the sum Of $50 apiece,
and will hear their cases today. The police
suppose that there is third member of the
gang. and are now on the lookout for him.
The Buells have resided in Seattle for
three years and came here from Brooklyn.
They have two elder brothers in the grocery
business at Second and Virginia streets,
and they reside with their mother on Gold
street. The elder of the two owns . ranch
at Gilman. They strongly protest their
innocence.

A Worthless Sot's Futile Attempt ut
Suicide.
Charles 0'Hare, barber employed in
the Standard barber shop, on WASH
ington street, went into the Tycoon
saloon at midnight last night and
swallowed seventeen grains of NOR
phine. He had purchased the poison
a few minutes before at Kerkow's drug
store. with the intention of committing
suicide, but prompt action on the part of
the bystanders saved his life.
A few minutes after he had taken the
drug he dropped off into q doze- A
stranger saw him and reused him
up with great effort. He became conscious
long enough to tell that he had taken the
morphine with the intention of ending his
existence, aud then he went off into an
other dangerous sleep. In this condition
he was walked up and down street to
arouse him and the efforts were finally sue
cessful.
To q Posr-INTELLlGEScER reporter, who
was q witness of the efforts to save him, he
said that he had wanted to kill himself on
account of trouble with his wife. They
lived very unhappily, he said. partly be-
cause he drank good deal, and he could
not stand it any longer and determined to
put an end to the trouble by
committing suicide. He was married in
Iowa eight years ago, and moved to Chi
cago soon after. Two years ago
he and his wife came West
and stopped for some time at
San Francisco and some six months ago
they came to Seattle to live. Mr.. O'Hare
is about 80 years of age. and is very good
looking young man, but it is said he is .
hypo-fend.
A reporter called at No. 800 Yesler ave-
nue.. the address the man gave of his wife,
and inquired for Mrs. O'Hare.
Mrs. O'Hare lives here. but she Is in
bed" came smothered female voice
through the crack of the door.
docs she know that her husband is
probably dead by this time? He took
morphine to kill himself, and said 1t was
all on account OF his wife"
"Oh, the fool" again came the voice,
now little animated and more holder.
HE is sot anyway. and he deserved
nothing else. so won't tell his wife to-
night She is good woman, and he not
only drank. but abused her. and then. too.
he would run around with other women"
The informant said the couple had been
separated about four months.

current that the sealing schooner Mary
Ellen will never return to an American
port. Her captain, Dan Mclean. Is heav-

by arguing that Mclean intended to send
his catch down by the Mischief, but had
not had room. The owners say the re-
