fortunes Said to he Inflicted in tho Colo
rndo state Penitcntiary.
The Denver News, in an extended cx-
posture of alleged abuses in the Colo
RADIO State Penitentiary, describes two
methods said to be used to discipline re-
fractory prisoners. The description is
attributed to a convict, from whose lot
ter tho following is taken:
After supper tho un Apply victim is
led forth from his cell to the vicinity of
tho stable and compelled to stand with
his back to a post erected for such occa-
sions. Two officers arc generally or
dered to tie the prisoners hands behind
his back; n strap is then drawn around
him, lashing his body to the post
An officer attired in waterproof clothes
now stops behind the post and holds
tho prisoners oars, whilo another
stands off about six feet and throws
stream of water in the prisoners face.
There is generally a sixty-pound pros
sure on the pump, and the water is
thrown with so much force that it tears
the flesh from tho prisoners face. Tho
force Of the water compols the prisoner
to open his mouth, and tho stream is
thrown down his throat until he is al
most strangled. He is then granted
respite till he has thrown up the water
he swallowed and regaincd his breath.
This operation is repeated three or
four limos. Finally, whom the guards
have had sufficient fun, tho water is
thrown in the victims face until he is
knocked down.
Another engine Of torture is what is
known as tho urging-up machine. 1t
consists of a pair of handouts and a
rope. Tho prisoner Is taken to the
warehouse and obliged to ascend a plat
form that is situated in ono corner of it.
Before adjusting the handouts the ropes
are twisted so that when the offender is
swung from tho platform no is whirlcd
In tho air at the rate of ono hundred
revolutions minute. He is wound off
the platform by means OF windlass.
When the whirling motion has ceased,
inc officers PROFOUND all kinds OF taant-
ing questions to their victim, and if no
shows moro fortitudo than thoy like to
sec In an unfortunate man one OF thom
VIII jump up and swing himself from
tho prisoners shoulder in order to In
crease tho pain The victim is lott
hanging until non-circulation causes i'm
senaioility. II 10 frequent occurrence

The state Convention.

With the holding of the democratic
state convention st Springfield yesterday
the campaign of 1890 in Illinois may be
presumed to have been formally inaugur-
ated. 1t was large and enthusiastic
gathering of the democracy OF the state,
and the best of feeling prevailed through
out the entire proceedings Never before
in the history OF the party 10 the state was
such q spirit of confidence and surance
displayed of al ultimate victory The
spirited fight for the nomination OF state
treasurer was sn illustration OF the san
guinness OF the candidates themselves
that whoever secured the nomination wss
reasonably sure of election. The desfen>
ing applause which accompanied the
reading OF the letter from ex-President
Cleveland was only excelled in intensity
snd noisy demonstration when the reso!u-
ton endorsing Gen Palmer for the United
States senate WAS presented. and when
the veteran leader appeared before the
convention
Both nominations for state officers sle
particularly strong, and will have decided
effect in assisting Gen Palmer to carry the
legislature. The convention wisely al
lowed the Cook and other county delegs
tons instructed for Fitzgerald to vote as q
unit, and then very sensibly chose Wilson
on the first ballot. To q casual OBJ
server it was readily apparent that the
Cook county delegates were sadly d.
vided when actual sentiment was arrived
at over Fitzgersld's candidacy, and while
instructed to cast the full vote of the
county there were many bitterly opposed
TO his nomination. When the roll call
showed clear majority for Wilson, Cook
county quickly moved to make the nom
instion of Mr.. Wilson unanimous. and
the motion went through with unsnim-
ity that dispelled all fears OF disaffection.
The selection of exState Superintendent
Rsab was also wise and Judicious nom.
ination. On the whole the democracy OF
the state have never held a more salts
factory or enthusiastic convention than
that of yesterday.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 5-A coIlven-
ton of German Lutherans met yeste rday
in the west side Turner'S hall to take such
action as is within its power to bring bout
a repeal of the Bennett school law. There
were 400 delegates present, and Chairman
Koerner, editor of The Germania, pres ided.
A number of speeches, all bitterly de-
nouncing the Bennett law, were made and
when Rasmus b. Anderson said that ~the
English language needs no proteo ton;
| that it is not an infant industry, but an
all powerful giant, marching with sweep
| ing tread and irresistible force through the
country" the sentiment was received nth
| tremendous applause.
Refused To BE Bound.
| Before the vote was taken on the Nc
Kinley bill, several gentlemen askei the
chair if the caucus was intended to bind
those present The chair stated hat it
was rather conference than a caucus
and that no one would be bound by its
action. When Nckinley's bill had finally
| been agreed to, a motion was made and
carried to make the action of the confer
ence binding on those present. Connell OF
Nebraska Immediately announced tn at in
spite of the resolution he would not hold
himself bound by the action of the con-
ference. At 6:55 an adjournment was had
Cornell says that Payson and Others wh1
voted against the redemption clause vii

conference This leaves the silver 4ues
ton still unsettled.

WASHINGTON CITY. June 5-A train
load of eastern importers dropped down
with a dull thud on the senate finance
committee yesterday and engaged the at
tention of that committee all day They
were armed with samples and statistics
and were on hand TO ask whole lot of
changes in the direction of lower duties in
the Mckinley bill. ]. Fl. Constable, of the
firm of Arnold, Constable & Co, of New
York, led the assault and said that the
delegation included representatives Of ev-
cry large city in the country. He said the
Mckinley bill was constructed wholly in
the interests of manufacturers, and
against those of importers and consum-
ers.
Kick from a silk Man.
Mr.. Curtis. a silk dealer, objected to the
silk schedule because, he said, il taxed
heaviest the goods used by people of mod
crate means and gave the manufacturers
entire control of the market
The glass and pottery sellers were rep
resented by l. Strauss, of New York, who
complained that fine china vases came in
under very small duty, while cheap
goods were taxed 3S4 per cent. The tax
| was high enough now and home manufac.
turers supplied 90 per cent. of the trade in
this country. He wanted raw materials
free and then he did not ask any duty on
| the foreign article at all
The Wool Men Represented.
Louis Windmuller protested against the
| schedule on low grades OF wool He ar
| gued that a decrease of the duty would
| result in the use of American woods in
| carpet making, which was not done now
| Ernest Warner, a New York importer
| said the proposed wooden schedule was
| prohibitive. and entirely unwarranted
| besides being hardship on the wearers Of
4 wooden goods The upholsterers were rep
resented and opposed the duty on pushes
| cotton velvets, etc. while Carlisle read {
protest from the linen importers, who sale
linens could not be manufactured in thi
coun ~ equal TO Irish and other foreign
linen.
| Miscellaneous Protests.
There were protests against the hOsier!
schedule, the window-glsss, hardware
lace, button, wood pulp, shawl, cement
and hop schedules. and arrangements wer
made to file additional protests in tn
| future. Ia fact, there was hardly man
ufactured article in the bill that its sched
ule was not attacked, the duties being al
legged to be too high, and without the leas

hotel was swept away, with over twenty
horses and vehicles, and lodged against q
RAILROAD bridge below. Growers livery
