clares Himself Against the League.
BALTIMORE, March 24.-Mr. Earle Wagner,

A Cock -and-Bun Election Story About Ex-
President Cleveland Denied.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i
MAS sILLoN, March PA highly colored
story has been sent over the country from Can
ton and Alliance which processes TO give the
heretofore untold inside history of the reason
why ex-Presldent Cleveland declined to assist
in the defeat of Mckinley last November. by
lending his presence and delivering few
speeches in the district. The pith of the story
is that Cleveland ignored all the pres
surs brought to bear upon him to come,
and finally, in answer to an appeal from
Governor Warwick. telegraphed that II
Warwick would guarantee that he would
have at least 2 ,00O majority in the district he
would come. but he could not afford to injure
his prestige by coming if the Democratic ma
jority was likely to be materially reduced.
Governor Hill was then importuned and re-
sponded by making speeches at Canton, this
city and Mllersburg, and upon Warwick's
election by 800 he wired Hill, thanking him for
the result. A son of Warwick's and State
Senator Howells, who we're Mr.. Warwick's con-
tldential advisers in this campaign, character
ize the story as ridiculous and utterly without
foundation. Senator Howells denounces 1t as
having probably been started by some drunken
man. Governor Warwick is in California.

"EXECUTIvE DEPARTMENT.
STATE OF LOUISIANA. :
BATON ROUGE, March q. 1891.
.'Hon. James 6. Blaine, Secretary Of State,
Washington, ID. c.:
''SIR-At late hour on the 10Th inst. 1 re-
ceived dispatch from you having reference to
the forcible breaking, on the l4th of this
month, of the Jail of this city, and the killing
of II persons confined therein under indict-
ments found in the Criminal District Court for
the parish of Orleans.
You stated to me that it had been repre-
sented to the President by the Minister of Italy
accredited to the United States. that among
the killed on that occasion were three or four
subj -cts of the King of Italy. The telegram
disclosed an apprehension on the part of
the Minister, evidently shared by the Presi-
dent, that the disturbance was continuous
and swelling disturbance which might involve
the Italian subjects in New Orleans.
Il have reason to believe that the hope ex-
pressed by the President, that 1 would co.
operate with him IN maintaining the obliga-
tions of the United States toward the Italian
subjects. who might be within the perils of the
excitement, and that further violence and
bloodshed might be prevented. was based upon
that belief. The President further expressed
the hope that all offenders might be promtly
brought to Justice. = =
'-On the 10th inst 1 telegraphed you that
there was no excitement in the city at that
time. and that l saw no reason to anticipate
further trouble. also stated that the action
taken was directed against particular indi-
viduals and that the race or nationality of the
parties did not enter as factor into the dis
turbance. A week has passed since the date of
my last dispatch. and the opinion then enter
tanned as to the termination of the trouble has
proved to have been well founded. The men
killed, as have stated, we're confined in prison,
under indictments found in the Criminal Dis
trict Court for the parish of Orleans; the
Sheriff has made his return of the facts to that
Court: the Judge thereof has charged the grand
jury. now in session. in regard to the matter
and the whole subject is, I assume, now under
Investigation by that body.
Il am satisfied that most of the persons
killed were American citizens, but 1t is prob
able that two or three we're Italian subjects.
Il have the honor to be. very respectfully,
FRANCIS T. NICHOLS, Governor
Governor Nichols letter is written on
official paper, and dated at the capital of
the State. 1t is evident, however, that it
was written in New Orleans, as it speaks of
the killing as having occurred at the Jail in
this" (that) city" Secretary Blaine has
sent copy of the letter to Baron Fava. the
italian Minister.
The Department of State will not take fur
ther action in the matter of the New Orleans
tragedy until the Italian minister makes
some further communication upon the SUBJ
ject. He has cabled the substance of Gov
ernor Nicholl's letter to his Government,
and the impression at the State department
is tina. he will await the action of the New
Orleans courts before making further repre-
sentations to the State.

George w. Moss from the gallows. The con-
demned man was visited this afternoon by his

at the trial. The Colonel had prepared an affi-
davit, which Moss signed. 1t will be presented

asked for until the case can be reviewed by the
Supreme Court .-.
The affidavit sets forth that insanity was
hereditary in Moss family for generations;

ruled out by the court that, if admitted, would
have acquit ed the prisoner Oh the ground of
insanity. This must be placed in the hands of
the Governor tomorrow at the latest as the
