KNOCKED OUT DUNN.

Florida Senatorial Situation Complicated
by the Alliance Presidents Attitude.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla, April 10.-The
sensation Of the day here is the publica-
ton in The Floridian of letter from
Senator r. F.~ReageF~, the president of
the State Alliance, in which he says he
cannot support Dunn for United States
senator Because he is national
banker. Nor Call either because the
latter is not in sympathy with the de-
mands of the National Alliance.
The letter also appeals to Alliance leg
islators who number 90, clear ma
jority) to unite upon a straight-out Al
lance candidate. This action of Rogers
who has been jealous advocate of Mr..
Dunn heretofore, puts Dunn out of the
race and opens the field against Call.
Over half of the Alliance Legislators are
supporters of Call, however, and the
prevalent opinion ia that they cannot be
tnrned from their allegiance to him.
Call does not favor the snb-treasury bill
but is in sympathy with the Alliance ON
all other demands The Alliance men
throughout the state are divided en- the
sub-treasury bill. Calls friends think
that a joint caucus will be called in a
few days and that he will be nominated
ON the first ballot.

Russians evidently After n Slice of Terri

LoNDos, April IA st. Petersburg
dispatch says that Russia will consider
as an at of war any interference by
Italy WITH the Russian expedition start
ingin thee or four days for Abyssinia.
Russia i9gards the emperor, Menelek,
as the iIlependent sovereign of an in
dependerA nation, and viii tolerate no
obstruction in dealing directly with
him. Ise expedition is under the COM
mand of Lieut.. Maskoff, very deter
mined fnan, of proved courage and pow
erful physique. He is 35 years of age
and has served two Years in the army of
the Caucasus. The second in command
is monk named Tikhou. The expedi-
tion expects to be about two months on
the Journey to headquarters of Menelek
at Antigss A substantial habitation will
be erected there for use during the
rainy seson, and excursions will be
made in various directions to gather
scientific Facts, and make inquiries as to
the condition and history of the people.
The expedition will remain three years
IN the country, and make an attempt to
reach the great lakes from direction
not yet attempted by Europeans.
1t is this part of the programme that
excites English jealousy and, it is feared
it may lead to underhanded attempts to
injure the expedition or at least to de-
feat its objects. Lieut.. Maskoff is con-
fident, however, that with the friend
ship of Menelek, which be has every
reason to expect, he will be able to re-
sist any hostile attack.

Some Sensational Revelations as to the
Dead Merchants Life Promised.
New YORK, April 10.-The testimony
taken before the commissioners in Ire
land in the suit of Sarah Branogh against
William D. Smith, otherwise and better
known as the suit of the Irish heirs of
A. I. Stewart to recover large part of
the Stewart estate, has arrived in this
city. The evidence, which is very vol
luminous, will be used on the trial of
this suit. which is on the calendar to
begin May II. If some of the testi-
Inony which the Irish commissioners are
said to have taken be true the trial will
be one of surprises and sensations. The
main purport of the evidence gathered
by the commission was to prove that
Mr.. Stewart had several close kinsmen
living who were his legal heirs. The
close. kinship is said to have been con-
clusively established.

Contest Between Washburne and Gre

Florida Senatorial Question Compli-
Gated by the Alliance Prssi-

CHICAGO, April l0.--According to the
Election Commissioner English and
Election Clerks Twohig and Bradley
the situation in regard to the mayoraty
election is unchanged from what it was
yesterday. Every precinct has been
heard from, and the official returns are
completed, and are safe under lock and
key in the vault in the election commits
sioner's office. The unofficial returns
have also been altered and footed, and
the party managers ON
Both Sides Claim a Plurality.
Only the official canvass of the commis-
sioners can decide who is elected. Chief
of Police Marsh, who has the police re-
; turns in his possession, said that nothing
short of the official canvass could deter
mine whether Mr.. Washburne or Mr..
Cregier had been elected. The unoffi-
cial returns would seem to indicate, as
nearly as he could figure them, that
Mr., Cregier had the best of the situa-
tien by couple of hundred votes. The
police returns, he said, wero wholly un-
reliable. Many of them had come in
over the telephone, and anyone could
see how easily mistakes might occur.
The Republicans still continue to
Talk of Fraud
at the polls, and declare they will fight
to the bitter end. Lawyer w. T, I'm
derwood, who was quite prominent in
the Smith Harrison contest of 1880, has
been engaged by the Republicans and
given charge of all cases which point to
an infringement of the election law.
The Democrats put forward the asser-
ton that in scores of instances, the vstes
for Elmer Washburne, the Citizens can
didate We're deliberately counted for
Hempsted Washburne, the Republican
nominee, such substitution being IA.
oilitated by the similarity of names. On
the other hand the Republicans protest
that m one precinct alone At the stock
yards over 100 votes were deposited fol-
names that were refused registration
ard that some of the names are those oi
persons who have been dead for weeks
or msnths. In this particular precinct
it is charged, affairs were 30 manipu
lated that judges and clerks, withou'
exception, were Democrats, and the plu
rality for Cregier was something alb
normal.
Needs the Omcial Couns.
1t is claimed by the Democrats thai
all the returns have been received ant
that the vote stands: Creaier, Demo
crat, 46, ,935: FL. Washburne, Republican
46, 700; Cregier's plurality, 3S5.
The Republicans, on the other hand
strongly maintain that Hempsted Wash
burne has been elected, and only tn,
official count will decide which is mayor
j. r. b. Van Cleve, Republican, for cit,
clerk, and B. r. Nicholson, Republican
for city attorney, are elected beyont

MAMMOTH COAL COMBINE.

A Ten Million Dollar Association Pro-
posed i'm the Hooking Valley.
NEW YORK, April 10.-A proposition
is under consideration for the consolida-
ton of the Hooking Coal and Iron COM
pany, and the Ohio and Western Coal
company. 1t is proposed to capitalize
the consolidated company for SO. .600, 900.
The former company has earned and
paid dividends, while the latter COM
pany, on the contrary, has been in the
hands of a receiver for years. There is
good deal of dissatisfaction on the part
OF some of the stockholders of the Hook
ing company, who will doubtless organ
lze a strong opposition to the consolida-
ton plan.
