The Tributes of Those Near to CAPTAIN
Renfnn.

Very few men knew Captain Renton as
well as did Mr. Samuel L. Crawford, and
certainly no man had Captain Renton's
confidence 10 greater degree than he
had. Mr.. Crawford received the first news
of Captain Renton's death from a PoSr-
ISTELLIGENcER reporter and was deeply
affected. Said he: Captain Renton was
a great big, noble. manly man. There
were no mean traits in his character. He
loved the truth and was a completely fair
man IN all his business relations. If ne

might find the stolen articles in the pawn
shops. He accordingly made search

HEALTHY CHINCH-BUGs WANTED.


KANSAS CRY. May 1~0.-Chancellor Snow.
of the State University of Kansas, has sent
to Secretary Mohler, Of the State Board of
Agriculture, . letter concerning his oonclu-
sions regarding the present wheat pests In
Kansas. The Chancellor says: THE pres
emit spring has been particularly unfavora-
BILE for the health of chinch-bugs, but still.
in twenty counties in the southeastern
part of the State, the chinch-bugs are out
in full force. In other counties Of
the State the pest is not SO
numerous. still it exists in fully
one-half of all the counties. The bugs now
in the wheat field are q emnant sOf last
falls brood, which nibernated. The fe-
males have been laying their eggs and the
young Will soon be Matched. The eggs are
very susceptible to the influence of climatic
conditions. and If we should We heavy
rains between now and May 80 tAe crop of
young bugs will be much ensmalled."
Continuing the report says: active
measures must be resorted to to keep the
pests down.. Much hope is placed in the
outcome of the workings of the new rem
edy'. namely the attempt to spread artifi-
cially a contagious disease among theibugs.
The experiments of the early spring in the
laboratory indicate the activity of the con-
tagion. and If the cooperation of the far
mers, by sending in large numbers of live,
healthy bugs, may be relied on. the station
will be prepared to scatter infected bugs
all over the State"

STABBED BY THE MAFIA.
Mysterious ARRAY. in Which an italian Wa
the Victim of the Deadly Stiletto.

NEW YORK, May 1o.-A stabbing ARRAY
which bears q strong resemblance to the
work of the Malta occurred Friday night
in the Italian quarter in West Hoboken.
Almost the only things definitely known
about tie case are the name Of the man
who was stabbed and the probability that
his wounds are dangerous. There is one
wound in his breast and another in his
neck, both made with . ~stiletto. The VIC
tim is Louis Poretti, a silk-weaver, who
boarded in Spring street. He had given up
to sail for Italy yesterday. On Friday
evening he was the center of a group of ex-
cited Italians, who were talking and ges-
ticulating, at West and Hague
streets. Suddenly two of the Italians
seized him. one on each side, and
his breast and neck. Some of the Others in
terfered and saved him from being MUIR
dered outright. Justice Sc~hneurigher, of
Union Hill, who was q witness of the scene,
sent for q policeman. but before the mes
senger could find one the assailants were re-
leased by their companions and had disap-
perred, running in the direction of Jersey
City. Policeman Vermont followed them
for q short distance, but soon ave up the
chase.
Poretti refuses to disclose the names of
his assailants or make any complaint
against them. The West Hoboken police
hold that this relieves them from any re-
sponsibility in the matter, and they will
not make any effort to capture the murder
Gus Italians. Residents of Italian quarter
advanced the theory yesterday that Poretti
was possessed Of some secret that his assail-
ants feared he might divulge when he
reached Italy, and they decided to kill him.

~DEsPICABLE TACTICS.

Efforts of Democratic Leaders to Create .
Division in Republican Ranks.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 10.-A heroic effort.
which is having small effect, is being made
by the Democratic press. at the direction
of Senator German n Mr. Cleveland. to
create q breach between President Har-
rison and Mr.. Blaine primarily. and the
former and General Alger latterly. For .
whole week the changes have been runR on
the statement that friends of the President
have been trying to force Mr.. Blaine to
make an announcement as to his intentions
respecting the use of his name for the pres
idential nomination next year and the
statement has been made in every para
graph edited by the head Of the real Demo-
cratic national committee, German, that
Mr.. Blaine IS TO be forced to tax himself
out of the line of possible nomination. BY
O singular coincidence the Democratic press
of the East to-day itallcizes this %nounc
ment. and makes the further statement that
Secretary Foster is about to begin the off,
cial d~ecspitation of all revenue officers in
the South who have uttered. o. who may
In the future utter any sentiment c0mpli-
mentary to General Alger.
The Republicans of the country should
know in reading these statements about
Mr.. Blaine and General Alger that they
are without the slightest foundation, are
hatched In Democratic quarters here and
in New York by the men who are seeking
the Democratic nomination for the presi-
dency, and that they are but part of a we'll
defined programme to create breaches in
the Republican ranks. The edict has been
issued that the Republican party will elect
it's candidate in spite of the Democratic
h~irelings and selfish politicians in tho
Farmers Alliance and Prohibition party
If dissensiOns are not created among the
Republicans. Those who understand this
viii be amused to watch the different
moves from Democratic headquarters dur
ing the next three or four weeks, moves
winch will show themselves only in Repub-
lican circles. Senator German is to be Mr..
Cleveland's candidate if it appears that
the latter cannot safely make it, and the
Maryland boss is in the harness now.

Engineered by Democrats, who Hope to
Hoodwfnk Northern Farmer.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 10.-Congressman Ed
munds, of Virginia. o Democrat of the old
school. is in Washington, and unwittingly
gives away the plan of the Democratic
managers to use the Farmers Alliance or
ganIzation in the West to destroy the Re-
publican organization in general. He says.
snd truly. TOO, that tho Alliance in Virginia
has resolved to not put an independent
ticket in the field. In fact. the Alliance
throughout the South is to stand by the
Democratic candidates. Mr.. Edmunds
says: 1.-The thlrd-party movement is not
seriously considered in the South. but In
the West. where farmers secured a majority
in several Of the state legislatures, the
Democrats and Republicans are apprehen-
slve lest Q third party may beat them BIO tn.
There is, / believe, q slight difference be-
tween the farmers and Democrats ON one
or two questions. but the difference Is not
so radical that it cannot be adjusted. and,
for that reason, l should say the Southern
Democrats and farmers will work together
in the fall elections"
Mr.. Edmunds's further statements show
plainly that the Democratic organization
has charge of the Alliance in q political
way. 1t is asserted in the South. he says.
that the Democratic and Alliance princi-
pies are the same, but In the West there Is
such q variance that the farmers are told
they must have al Alliance candidate to
combat both the Democratic and Repub-
lican candidates. Mr.. Edmunds himself
acknowledges that in the West the Demo-
cratic members of the Alliance seldom, il
ever, refuse to vote for the Democratic can
didates. Republicans here believe they
will soon be able to prove conclusively
that the political wing of the Alliance in
the West 10 maintained by. Democratic
brains and Democratic capital. The polit-
ical nonpartisan elements in tho Alliance
are regarded as distinctive elements and
few of the Alliance member in the West
are believed to favor the adoption of the
political wings demands.

from Nevada, while the Democratic candi-
date would get only one vote from New
York. In some States, like Ohio and Wis
consIn. there would be a stand-off, there
being in each a Democratic and Republican
Senator.
This recalls a curious omission in the pro-
vision for the presidential election in the
House. No provision is mad for such
States whose DELEGATIONS consist of two
members, in case they should be of opposite
politics. In the present House there are
fye such States-Florids. New Hampshire,
Rhode Island. South Dakota and Vermont.
IL 90 happens that in each case both men,
bers of the delegation are Of the same
party. the three first being Democratic, the
two last Republican. But If it should have
happened that IN any one of these States
one member had been . Democrat and the
other q Republicans contingency BY no
means impossible-the two gentlemen
could never have agreed on q candidate,
and that very interesting question would
then have arisen az to how The State should
vote. Under the Constitution it would
have lost its vote altogether. This would
seem to deserve the attention of Congress.
1t is plain. therefore, that the Alliance N
it's national political future are worthy OF
careful attention.

Captain Remy. 1T midnight, on Frid ay. IL

patch, and, ct 4 O'clock in the morning, all
visitors were ordered ashore, and the
Charleston was put to sea. The Charles
ton 10 provisioned and coaled for q long
cruise. and instead Of going outside TO try
her guns, as was supposed at first. it is
CHILEAN steamer Itata, with orders to
capture her. If the Charleston does not
catch her, the orders are to keep on until
Admiral Brown Is encountered in Gillian

as to how the Itata was manned when she
left the harbor. The statement was veri-
fed by the men on the dredges, and the

$50 armed Chilians were seen aboard the
craft as she sailed out. Marshal Gard,

Scheme for Providing Pensions for Depart
ment Clerks Out of Their Own Salaries.
WASHINGTON. May 10.-The Sunday
Herald says: A movement is on foot in
various departments of the government
located in this city to establish what
might be termed q comparative pension
sch eme for the benefit of those clerks who,
throug Oh advanced age or physical disable
Ity incurred by their service for the gov
eminent. become unable to attend to their

salary of each clerk. those sick or aged
would receive q pension during the
time of their disability or for
life when regularly retired by the action of
an authorized board. 1t is suggested that
a percentage of about 2 per cent. a month
be deducted from the salary of each gov
eminent clerk and deposited in the United
States Treasury to be held there in trust as
a fund to pension those regularly retired.
and to paw O stated amount to those who
are temporarily disabled. The number of
clerks of an advanced ago who are retained
In the departments simply because of their
faithful service for many years is very
large. They have outlived their actual
usefulness and are allowed to remain only
for the reason hat if dismissed they would
be in actual want. With the pension these
could be retired. with the result that the
number of promotions all along the line
would be very large.
