The republican press has cordi-
ally endorsed the nomination of
Harrison and Reid. Some papers,
like the Chicago Tribune, perfer-
red Blaine, but they have all re-
spected the will Of the convention
and metaphorically speaking have
taken off their coats for a lively
campaign.

personal convenient jaunt today and i'm
mediately drove up to the provincial jail
and informed Governor Moresby of their
Willingness to be taken into custody, as
they had learned that warrant was out
for their arrest. Moresby stated that he
had no warrant and was Powerless to ar
rest them, but would telegraph at once to
the attorney general for instructions.
J. c. Armstrong accompanied the much
wanted publishers to the city bastile, and
on the word of honor of the three that
Messrs. Kennedy would be on hand at
their place of business when wanted, the
little interview terminated and the party
drove down town and spent an hour or
two receiving the congra tulatlons of
friends. A dispatch was sent to the attor-
ney general. notifying that functionary of
the kennedys' readiness for arrest. About
3:45 Moresby announced that the pursued
publishers were free so far as he was con-
cerned, as his instructions. from the attor-
ney general were to the effect that he had
no power to act. This looks like clear
backdown on the part of the government.

TACOMA, April 19-ESpecial. Mayor H.
s. Huson's municipal administration was
inaugurated today. The council organized
by electing H. A. Corell president and
Samuel J. Smyth clerk. Preference for
Monday or Saturday afternoon as the
date of meeting, was expressed, but the
matter was laid aside. The finance COM
mittee having examined the books of the
city treasurer. reported balance of $685.
S31.09 on hand. The rules of the old coun-
Gil will guide the proceedings of the pres
ent council. The initial move of the new
council gives evidence of the fullflment of
the assertion made by the Posr-INTELLr-
GEScER during the municipal campaign,
viz: that the so-called ring would
not survive under Mr.. Huson's admin
istration. Although personally cratic
at times, especially in dealing with people
who either rubbed the fur the wrong way
and were offensive to him, Mr.. Haskins
has made an efficient city clerk. He was
identified with the much-talked-of ring,
and received one vote for clerk to six re-
ceived by William Fink, and nine by Mr..
Smyth, the Republican candidates.
At the Republican caucus last night,
Fink received six votes to four for Smyth.
Therefore, although the ballot was Sc
cret,. it is assured that the Democrats sup
ported the successful Republican candi-
date. Mr.. Corell is a young lawyer, the
partner of Galusha Parsons. He read law
in New York state. and previous to COM
ing to Tacoma was official stenographer
for the state Senate Of the Empire state.
Mayor Huson will probably name his
appointments in time for the considera-
ton OF the city council Saturday evening.
The Democrats boast tonight that their
votes elected President Corell. with the
understanding that he would favor them
in the committee makeup. Corell denies
this. The Democrats also intimate that
Smythe is Democrat. The alleged rea-
son for downing Fink, who had a majority
Of the Republicans in caucus, is that he
would appoint Haskins assistant, thereby
recognizing the ring. Under the Demo-
cratic support of Corell it is alleged there
is combine to retain the present police
officials. who are principally Democrats
and who opposed Huson at every torn,
also that an attempt will be made to inilu-
ence Huson's appointments by implied
threats of refusal to confirm

CHOKED IN HIS CELL.
A Prisoner in Puyallup Reser-
yation Jail Kills Himself
CANADIAN EDITORS VICTORY.
sufcide OF . worthless Fellow Ut spo-
kane-Noted Seattle Divorce Decision
Affirmed by Supreme Court

TACOMA. April 19-TSpecial.l -Charles
Smith, native of Saxony, committed sui
eide this morning in the Puyallup reser-
walton Jail by converting two dozen small
cords into q rope, twisting 1t about his
neck and tying the ends to one of the iron
bars in front of the window. He had 10
cents in his possession and it is conjectured
from a message written on piece of fir
board which was found in his pocket that
he was in some way connected with opium
smuggIers. The message was addressed
to the superintendent of the reservation
and announced at the beginning that that
official is the man who made the prisoner
suicide. Then follow these words:
know the opium is saved now. 1t is funny
a big, armed crowd pickt me up and the man
going away with $3.50 worth of smuggled goods.
For several months Smith has been
camping with party of probable tramps
or smugglers ON the reservation, about q
mile from the reservation schoolhouse.
Last week the Indian police went to ar
rest the suspicious characters, and sue
ceeded in taking Charles Smith and an
other man named Jack Smith, who is not
related to the deceased. Gus Kautz, the
reservation justice of the peace, sentenced
Charles to thirty days. imprisonment
in the reservation Jail, and discharged his
pal.
In the meantime search was made for
hidden opium, but none was found. This
morning when Smiths keeper took his
breakfast to the Jail he found him dead.
He had been dead but a short time. The
deceased is believed to have been con-
frmed opium eater. because in his note he
alludes to taking it every day of all my
life." He was probably demented.
Coroner Franks thinks he killed himself
because his pals got away with the stolen
opium. Inspector Mulkey is searching
for the opium. which it is believed has
been cached on the reservation.
No evidence was secured tonight to
warrant the belief that Smith and pals
had q cache of opium. Some time ago
Smith and others threw stones and fired
shotguns at Indian young men. Later
they captured an Indian and carried him
into the woods, and bound him to tree
without food from Saturday until the fol-
lowing Monday night; besides, they held
another Indian captive for a day. The
Indians were indignant and decided to
drive the intruders off the reservation.
During the past year there have been one
or two mysterious murders on the reser-
walton. All tramps and suspicious charac-
tiers will hereafter be placed under sur
veilance by the Indian police.

convention recognizes in Grover Cleveland

honorable means to secure his nomination

srructing the delegates for Cleveland was
lost, and the delegates go uninstructed
but are favorable to Cleveland. A resolu-
ton indorsing Governor Pennoyer's adj
ministration was passed and one asking
that his name be placed on the national
ticket was lost. The convention then
adjourned.

THE LOUISIANA ELECTION.
Foster, the Antf-Lottery Candidate for
Governor, Probably Elected.

New ORLEANS April l9-The election to-
day was one of the most important ever
held in Louisiana. The people voted for
governor and other state officers, for full
legislature and for district, parish and
local officers. The citizens of New Orleans
voted, in addition. for municipal officers,
from mayor and councilmen down. Three
amendments TO the constitution were also
voted for, the important one of which
is the famous revenue amendment extend
ing the charter of the Louisiana Lottery
Company: another authorizes New
Orleans 10 fund bonds at lower rate of
interest, and the third authorizes police
juries to levy additional taxes for school
purposes.
Five complete and distinct state tickets
were in the field:
FiTst-The regular Democratic ticket with
Judge McEnery for governor.
second--The anti-lottery faction, headed by
Murphy J. Foster
Third-The regular Republican ticket, headed
by A. II. Leonard.
Fourth--A Republican ticket, headed by John
Ebreaux
Fiith-The Peoples party, headed by R. I.
Tansill.
The regular Democratic nominee for
mayor, John Fitzpatrick, who is Nc
Eneryite, is opposed by Joseph Shake
speare, the present incumbent and Fos-
terite. At 5 p. m. an extra edition of the
S.1tes declares that Fitzpatrick is elected
mayor by from 5000 to 1000 majority over
Shakespeare. The vote SO far shows that
Leonard. of the regular Republican ticket,
leads Ebreaux of the other Republican
ticket, in this city. 1t is also claimed that
McEnery held his own in most of the city
wards. Advices indicate that Foster has
carried the state by 10000 plurality. The
Republicans carried about six parishes. but
McEnery will be second in point of votes.
The election was quiet, and scratching in
the city is unprecedented.
At II 80 indications are that McEnery.
for governor, in this city has about 10000
majority. Almost the entire Fitzpatrick
city ticket is apparently elected, as also
the members of the legislature.
Baton ROUGE, La, April 19-Indica-
tons are that Leonard. Republican, has
carried the parish by about 100 majority.
McEnery beats Foster by about 200 votes.
Entire McEnery local ticket is elected.
except possibly two Leonard Republicans

pleted until tomorrow.
