BIG THIRD PARTY CONVENTION.

Harrison Condemned by the adjunct of the
Farmers' Alliance In Indiana.
INDIANAPOLIS, May 27.-The State con-
vention of the Peoples party attracted
more attention from the old parties to-day
than did the Prohibition convention .yester-
day. This was largely due to the fact that
most of the delegates are recent deserters of
the old parties. The convention numbered
about 800. It was stated about the lobby
that the committee had pretty hard time
In getting platform together, for the
reason that the Prohibitionists had largely
1ntringed on their ideas. After a bitter
night proposed prohibition plank was ex-
cluded from the platform. The following is
the financial plank:
We demand national currency, safe, sound
and flexible. issued by the general Govern
ment only, full legal tender for all debts,
pubic and private, and that without the use
OF banking corporations: just. equitable
and efficient means of distribution direct to
tne people, as a tax not to exceed per cent,
to be provided as set forth in tho sub-Treas-
ury plan of the Farmers Alliance, or some
osner system: also by payments in discharge
OF It's obligations for public improvements.
We demand the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver, and condemn President Harrison
1or calling the international Monetary Con-
ference and inviting other nations to assist
us in liking q value on our silver We regard
It as an effort to demonetize the silver dol.
lar by q national agreement. We demand
that the amount Of the circulating medium
be speedily increased to not less than $50 per
capita. We demand a graduated income
tax. We believe that the money of the coun-
try should be kept as much as possible in
the hands of the people, and hence we de-
mand that all national and State revenues
shall be limited to the necessary expenses Of
the Government, economically and honestly
administered.

FREE SILVER SPEAKERS

Put in Another Day of Talk at Washington
Ono Man Would Rather Vote for Vic
toria Than Cleveland-Radical Remarks
of Others on the Subject.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-At 1O:15 o'clock
this morning Chairman Warner called the
Silver Convention to order. Short addresses
were made by Mr.. Shinn, of Kansas, and r.
X. Thomas, of Pennsylvania. The latter
said that ten years ago his farm was gen.
orally regarded by his neighbors as
worth $4,000, and since that time
he had ever been more successful
than his neighbor and had been able,
by close attention to business, to save
about $500 year. This was the result Of
the labor of every member of his family.
But while he had been able to save $500 his
farm had deprecated in value even more,
and the farm that ten years ago was worth
$40, 900 in cash could not be sold to-day for
more than $4,000. This shrinkage he at
system, which was being operated in the
interest of money lenders, corporations and
monopolies.
The speaker denounced both of the lead-
ing political parties, and said that rather
than vote for Grover Cleveland (who seemed
to be the logical candidate of his party),
with his free trade ideas, he would vote for
Queen Victoria for President of the United
States, and rather than vote the ticket of
the hypocritical, weakened Republican
party he would vote for Cleveland.
Mr. Merrick, of Colorado, explained to
the convention the constitutional question
involved in the somewhat celebrated silver
brick case which was recently decided by
the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia against an application for a
mandamus to. compel the Secretary of the
Treasury to receive and coin the silver
brick which was rendered to him.
After recess the convention was briefly
addressed by Captain Nichols, of Boulder,
Col. E. d. Stark, of Ohio, read long
paper upon the general subject of silver, in
which he expressed himself as having no
confidence in the proposed international
monetary conference.
Morton Frewen, the well-known free
coinage writer of England, was introduced
to the convention. Personally, he said, he
would prefer to see the free coinage of sill
yer brought about by an international
agreement, yet he had no doubt that
America could restore silver to its old
place without the least danger of sending
gold to premium, and in that event he did
not believe that any silver of consequence
would come from Europe to be exchanged
for gold.
Brief remarks were made by Mr. New
lands, of Nevada; Senator Teller and ex-
Symes, of Colorado.

been. Mr.. Clarkson is frank man. So is
the President. Cold and reserved as the
latter is he says what he thinks and means.
There is no shadow of doubt that the Presi-
dent complained bitterly that the Republic
can national organization had been turned
against him, and there is little doubt that
Clarkson told the President plainly that a
few Southern Office holders could not be
allowed to dictate the Republican nomina-
tion, and that Blaine seemed to be in uni
versal demand. 1t is known that Mr.. Clark
son had not intended to call upon the Presi-
dent, but that his visit of this morning was
In response to direct request of the latter
conveyed by Land Commissioner Carter
yesterday.
The Presidents friends saw that he is
much depressed by the resolutions adopted
yesterday by the Ft Wayne, Ind, con-
vention in favor of Blaine. He had not an
ticipated such a blow from his own State,
and it has probably done more to dishearten
him than anything that has happened here
totore, on account of the effect it will have
in the mere sound of it upon the public
mind.
Just a Sign of Blaine Friendship.
The member of Congress from the Ft
Wayne district says that while the action
OF the convention was surprise to him, he
has no reason to suppose that it was due to
anything else than a sincere admiration for
and devotion to Blaine.
The action of ex-Speaker Reed, in pro-
Tossing himself favorable to the nomination
of Blaine in his interview with Chairman
Clarkson yesterday, has also had dis
heartening influence on .the friends of the
President. While it was we'll known that
Reed has not been friendly to Harrison for
some time, it was not expected that he
would throw himself bodily into the arms
of the man with whom in recent years he
has had serious political differences.
Mr.. c. L. Magee passed the day in this
city, calling on friends and discussing pri-
vate business matters. Mr.. Magee is not
swerved for moment from his devotion to
the President by the wave of Blaine en-
thusiasm that is sweeping over the country.
He does not believe there is any substance
to the opposition, and will go to Minneapo-
lis to vote for Harrison in the full belief
that the President will be renominated by
a complimentary majority. L.

TWO POISONING CASES.

One a Murderous Attempt, tho Other a
BIunder-A School Ma'am Frustrated
by Cheese in Her Basket-Horse Medi-
cine in the Family Cake.
BLAIRSvILLE, PA, May 27.-l Special +
A peculiar poisoning case is agitating the
people of Ridgeview Park. At noon to-day
Miss Sadie Patch, teacher in the public
schools of Blairsville, attended picnic at
Ridgeway Park to-day. The trustees of the
Park Association held meeting there to-
day, and the lady was invited with other
guests. At noon they sat down to lunch,
Miss Patch eating out of her own basket,
which had been packed at home. She ate
some cheese, and Immediately after was
taken violently ill. Antidotes were
promptly administered. The young lady
was taken to her home in Blairsville To-
night she is reported resting easier, though
she is still dangerously sick.
No one can explain how the poisoned
cheese got into the basket, nor why anyone
should attempt to poison the pretty school
teacher. An analysis was at once made of
the cheese, and revealed the fact that it
contained enough poison to kill half
dozen people.
1t is reported tonight from Long Bridge
that several persons were seriously poisoned
there yesterday. Joseph Nesbitt, his wife
and four children, and boarder named
Mcdonald and two young lady visitors
named Pershing sat down to the meal,
where cakes were served. After all had
partaken of the cake peculiar taste was
noticed by Mrs. Nesbitt. Almost immedi-
ately all present were taken suddenly and
violently ill. Physicians were sent for,
who pronounced the case one of arsenical
poisoning, and prompt remedies were ad-
ministered with good effect Two of the
children, however, were very low for some
time, but tonight al are pronounced to be
out of danger
There were two bottles similar in appear
ance on the pantry shelf One contained
horse medicine, in which arsenic was the
principal ingredient, while the other con-
tanned Jamaica ginger. By mistake the
servant took the wrong bottle, nearly kill
ing the entire family, herself included.

FOOD FOR THE ROMAN ARMY.
That of Animals a Constant Element
Found Hurtful to Soldiers.

That of Animals as a Constant Element
Found Hurtful to Soldiers.
The great Roman General CorbuIo was in
one campaign reduced to extremities, his
army having suffered, not indeed from
losses in battle, but from being driven to
satisfy its hunger from the flesh of sheep,
says the London Lancet To the average
Briton into whose dietetic cult the mutton
chop enters so largely, this announcement
must seem inexplicable; SO much so that he
might be excused for thinking lightly
of the stamina or pluck of his
forefathers who allowed themselves to
be conquered by the soldiery for whose
stomachs the flesh of sheep was too strong.
The fact is, however, that animal food as a
constant element in the Roman soldiers
fare was found hurtful to their health
Gear, in his Gallic war, tells the same
story. Cornmeal was the grand necessary
of life to those legionaires who, led by
Cesar, subdued the world, and who counted
themselves starved, and were apt of mutiny,
if reduced to the 'famine fare" of animal
food. Even British troops have been
known to suffer from an exclusive meat
diet, as, indeed, they found in the Zulu
campaign of 1879

A HORIZONTAL CUT

To Be Made in the Mckinley Duty on
Iron and SteeI-Sections of the Bill
to BE Presented by the Democratic
Tariff-Makers Very Shortly.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-It is not i'm
probable that the House Ways and Means
Committee will report a bill making i'm
portant revisions of the iron and metal
schedule within a short time. After
consultation with his colleagues on the
committee, Mr. Stevens, of Massachusetts,
to-day introduced bill to place iron ore
and scrap iron on the free list, and to re-
duce the duties on manufactures of iron
and other metals.
The first section of this bill places iron
ore, scrap iron and scrap steel on the free
list after the first day of October next, but
provides that nothing shall be deemed scrap
iron or scrap steel except waste or refuse
iron or steel fit only to be remanufactured
The second section provides that after
said date, pig iron and like metals shall be
subject to a duty of one and one-half
tenths of cent per pound, which is S3 Sc
per ton-just half the present rate.
The third section provides that bar iron
and structural iron and steel shall be SUBJ
iect to duty of half cent pound, or
The fourth section provides that after
the same date steel rails, ETC., shall be SUBJ
iect to a duty of three-tenths of a cent per
pound, or Sc y per ton.
The fifth section provides that after said
date no rate of duty imposed by the articles
embraced in the metal schedule of the Nc
Kinley bill shall exceed 35 per centum ad
yalorem.
Mr.. Stevens, in explaining his bill, said
that it was comprehensive measure en-
bracing the whole metal schedule, and that
the rates imposed on the articles were about
one-half of the rates provided for in the
act. Notwithstanding this, how
ever, they were more than sufficient to
cover the whole difference in the cost OF
production of such articles in this country
as compared with Great Britain. The facts
upon which the bill is framed are based
upon the late report of the Commissioner
of Labor upon the cost of production of
ma nufactures of iron and steel in this
country and in Europe. "This BILL" said
Mr.. Stevens, 'does not limit the tariff to
the difference in wages, but covers the
whole increased cost of production in this

MAKING A NEW RIVER,
The Mississippi Now Threatens to Take
Short Cut Near Memphis.

The Mississippi Now Threatens to Take a
Short Cut Near Memphis.
MEMPHIS, MAY 27.-The Mississippi
river now, from its steady force and power
full current, is evidently seeking to take a
short cut from below Old river, about one
mile above the city to a point below West
Memphis, and every rise of the river makes
this danger more threatening. Two or three
years ago the Government commenced mat
tressing the Arkansas bank from below to
where coal fleet is anchored nearly mile
above
In the spring rise of last year about 25O
feet of this work was carried away, and in
this present rise about $50 feet more have
gone, and the water is pouring over into
the woods at that point. The overflow finds
passage back into the river by the way of
-Four Mile bayou, which, heading in Marion
Lake above Mound City, runs west of West
Memphis and empties into the Mississippi
some two or three miles below this city.
The channel made by the overflow in its
course from the river to the BAYOU is be-
coming more and more defined daily.

M'K1NLEY ON THE BLAINE BOOM
Ohio's Governor Still Thinks the President
viii Be Renominated.

Ohio's Governor Still Thinks the Presiden:
Will Be Renominated.
COLUMBUS, O., May q. Special. J.
There is an air of confidence in the de-
meanor of the Blaine men here which is
very significant. The followers of the
Plumed Knight, who are the chief lieu
tenants of Ex-Governor Foraker, are vigor-
GUS in their claims that Blaine's name will
be presented to the National Convention
for President. All of Ohio's delegates have
been chosen, and the friends of Blaine
claim that 18 of the 45 will be cast for
Blaine in preference to Harrison.
Governor Mckinley was interviewed to-
night as to the situation from the Ohio
standpoint. He expressed himself candidly,
and said If it was q contest between Harri-
son and Blaine the Ohio delegation would
be divided very closely. The Governor
thinks President Harrison's position, as
outlined in his New York interview, was q
manly one He still believes the President
will be renominated without any prolonged
ballotting. The Governor, however, admits
that affairs are complicated, owing to the
energetic efforts of anti-administration men
to push Blaine into the race, regardless of
his wishes"
