WASHINGTON. d. c., MAY 2S.-r Special Tho
Ropubhcan officers hero are cxaulung over the
acton of the Farmers Alliance in Ohio in de-
,.in,nr 10 put State tcket.in the field. The
federal officials in Ohio are specially iubi-
liant. declaring that the absence of a farmers
ticket VIII assure Republican success. preSi-
Geat Harrison has been very anxious as 20 the
outcome of the next Ohio election, realizing
t..ta Democratic victory would be a serious,
j. NOT q fatal. setback to his party. But the
indications arc that the Republicans are pre-
mature IN their Civilizations.
Adviccs received here to-day Indicate that
the Farmers Alliance Of Ohio generally con-
drmus the action of their conference and In
ast upon the naming OF "a state ticket. The
fact is that the conference or convention was
manipulated by one Of the shrewdest Re
lrhIican managers of Ohio, Colonel Brigham,
oae of the most ardent Republicans of the
State. for political purposes ingratItated him
self with the farmers. By shrewd tactics he
won their confidence, despite the fact. APP
ilrent 90 many, that he was SIMPLY kepuO-
j .4u emissary.
THE DEMOCRATS REFRAIN.
The Democrats decided 10 refrain from any
Interference with the farmers TO let them
manage their convention III their own way.
brigham saw his opportunity and took adj
vantage 0f IT, Only "a few days ago he came
e. Washington and conferred with Secretary
Foster and by him was taken 10 the fresl-
don't As a result of TINS conference all the
Federal machinery of Ohio was put at the
command of Brigham toI the purpose of de
lrlInc the farmers Hence when the conyen-
ton met the Republicans were ON hand,
leI hv Brigham and backed by the entire IN
fueuce of the administration. The Democrats
l,ll a.oh. As result OF The kepubhcan ma
1..rlatiln the convention defeated the pro-
r.-lls for farmers ticket 10y one vote. In
f.-rratlou received here from ONO indicates
that the Republicans have not yet won their
victory The farmers generally are dlssats-
fled with the action of their convention and
iti-nore than probable that they Will nomi-
ratea State ticket despite the action OF their
representatives. They Will certainly nolnl-
nate county tickets I'D nearly every county OF
tLe State.
AN EMMY OF SHERMAN.
Another sharp thorn insthe Republicans
eide IS That Brigham is an ayOwed enemy OF
Sherman. and has declared his purpose to de
feat the latter for reelection to the United
States Senate He is devoted friend OF Nc
Kinley. and DE- sclemng 20 first make the lat
ter Governor and then senator. his attitude
has stirred the sherman forces toactivlty. and
they are working Co down bingham and TO de
strov hs schemes So the Republican fac
tiou- aye a. bitter against each other as are
tie opposing Democratic clements and we'll
informed Ohio Democrats insist That the
l4lce- of success next fall are still with
t,.rfo okct.
NEXT TRIAL on THE yEsUvIUs.
Experts who are unpreUdiced politicians
pri That The next trial of tie dynamite

great utility and value and VIII more than
Justify eX-SeCretary Whitney I'm making the
experiment. When the NesuUus was con-
sfructed II was conceded that she was an ex-
pertinent. That it was new departure IN naval
warfare which If successful. wouldred0undt0
the credit of the administration making the
test Now naval officers who were detailed 20
take charge of the recent test freely admit
that the Nesuvius lis great success. They
c0ncede that Smith guns are necessary TO rem

made without great expense
In the face of the reports of this character
from naval officers of many years experience.
the department is now compelled 10 grant
the Vesuyius a fair trial and the coming tests
Will be made under better auspices In re-
sponse 10 the demands of the officers of the
vessel the department has ordered that She

toms authorities. The Treasury Off

THAT BEHRING SEA MATTER.
The Behring sea matter is rapidly approach
inc solution, and the indications are now that
Great Britain and the nited States viii act
in concert on the fisheries question. The
move made i'm Parliament to-day 10y the Eng
h-h Government is regarded in official circles
herea an evidence that Great Britain iswilhng
10 accept. with q few notifications. the pro-
pO-als of the United States 10 JON hands IN
preventing pOachlng IN Behring Sea. The
United states is willing and anxious 10 do IT,
There are now fifty vessels, mostly
Canadian in Bchring sea, fitted out
and actively engaged IN seal fish
ing. Secretary Foster said this after
noon that it looks now as though Great
Britain would accept our propositions He
was afraid the British Government was a little
late I'm taking action. but If the motion sub
mitted by MIR. GOschon went through Paria-
menr within week aud a vigorous warfare
made on poachers much good could still be
done.
