THE POOL ROOM HOMICIDE.
Victor McCreary Sentenced to Jail and
Fine Imposed-Judge Cox's Remarks.

Victor McCreary Sentenced to Jail and q
Fine Imposed-Judge Cox's Remarks.
On the opening Of the Criminal Court this
morning Judge Cox sentenced the youth, Victor
McCreart, to one year less day in Jail and a
fine Of 300 on his plea Of guilty Of Granddaughter
entered yesterday. The indictment charged
him with the murder of Arthur c. Vandeventer
by striking him with billiard cue in pool
room on February % last. Judge Cox said
that he had reflected on the evidence and
was satisfied that the accused had no
intention to infict fatal injury or
to do more than to knock the
deceased down. The instrument-the billiard
cue-while in the hands of an able-bodied man
might be regarded a. a deadly instrument. could
scarcely be considered such in the hands of the
prisoner. There appeared to be some provo
cation for the blow, but the witnesses did not
hear the words, and the defendant claimed that
he had been threatened. He was satisfied that
If the case had been tried by jury the verdict
would have been accompanied by recon-
meDdation to mercy, and he was not inclined
to send him to the penitentiary.

cLxvELAsD,s DANGER.
Uncertainty - to the Action Of the Conf
New York Convention.

Uncertainty - to the Action OF the Coming
New York Convention.
II is possible that the action Of the movers Of
the May convention in New York may make
futile all the efforts Of the Cleveland people
outside of that state
The conviction has become very general at
Washington that Mr.. Cleveland will not permit
his name to go before the national convention
if Mr.. Grace's convention adopts such course
as would place the Cleveland people hopelessly
in opposition to the regular democratic organ
ization.
The understanding is that il the May conven-
tion goes much further than to merely make an
earnest protest against the manner in which the
other February convention was called and held
Mr.. Cleveland will write letter Withdrawing
his candidacy.
action of some of his friends In New York. it is
generally believed that Cleveland is in better
shape for the convention than it was expected
he would be.
If, however, the Grace convention drives him
out OF the race. by making him merely the can
dldate OF boiling faction in the state il will
leave the Cleveland people in other parts Of the
country without a candidate and scatter their
forces.
Mr.. Blount Of Georgia said to a SrAR re-
porter today that he thought it evident that
there was an overwhelming demand from DEM
oerats outside of New York for the nomination
OF Cleveland. He did not think this could be
overcome except by very determined opposi-
ton in New York, and it was doubtful whether
that could prevent his nomination.
This is not due to hero worship" Mr. Blount
declared, "but to the fact that the democrats of
the country are bound to make tariff reform
the all-absorbing issue of the campaign and
not to let up on it until the object il accom-
plished. They believe that they can make the
issue clearer with Cleveland than with any other
man as a candidate, and that is why they de-
mand his nomination.
HILLS EXPECTATIONS VANISHED.
There are excellent reasons for the belief that
MIR. Hill no longer entertains the expectation
that he will be nominated by the democrats at
Chicago. 1t is believed that he will stay in the
night for the purpose Of killing Cleveland if
possible. but that the sanguine spirit which has
possessed him SO long has vanished.
The Cleveland men have generally become
convinced that if Cleveland is nominated he
will get no support from Mr.. Hill during the
presidential campaign.

Wealthy Individual OFFER TO Assist In Max
Ing the Italian Representation Creditable.
1t seems now as though Italy would be salts
factorily represented at the worlds fair.
Mr.. c. F. 2. Caracristi, secretary of the Italo-
American worlds fair board Of promotion,
knows something of the prevalent conditions,
and to a STAR reporter said:
at seems that since the settlement Of me
little differences between Italy and the United
States the feeling Of sending an official
representative to the world fair has been rap
idly growing, and have no doubt but that
within few weeks the whole matter viii be in
good shape.
''The cablegram which found its way into the
press stating that the government had agreed
to send commissioners, to be selected from and
by the Italian boards Of trade, is too absurd to
be thought of with any seriousness. 1t seems
to be q falsehood made Of whole cloth.
"a monarchical government does not gener-
ally leave its affairs to be attended to by pri-
vate society or corporption, and especially is
this SO when trade organization is in question.
Americans cannot appreciate the strict rules
governing the actions of monarchy; IL they did
no credence would be placed in the rash asser-
tions SO ably manufactured for American con-
sumption. OF course some of the chambers Of
commerce might send their representa-
tives to Chicago rs exhibitors Of the wares
Of their respective cities but the government will
have no more to do with those people than will
the Gar of Russia. Private advices from Rome
inform me that his majesty the king will bring
the question of Italian representation ut the
worlds fair before the new Italian cabinet at
very early date. This means that official repre-
sentation is fully assured"
How do the Italians Of this country feel on
the subject2" was asked.
well, they are very much detected over
ltaly's non-action, and the fact is that some of
the more wealthy have written me, offering to
subscribe to fund to pay the expenses of an
italian commission; but such proposition to
the government would be as absurd as the sup
posed commission from the chambers Of
commerce"

1t Was Decided to Again Ask Mr.. Blaine to
Re n Candidate


1t Was Decided to Again Ask Mr.. Blaine to
BE Candidate.
According to Detroit afternoon paper it was
definitely decided at the republican conference
in that city to draw Secretary Blaine into the
presidential race. As soon as Gen. Clarkson
reaches New York he will proceed directly to
Washington, where secret conference will be
held with Secretary Blaine, and an effort will
be made. to have him consent to make the run.
The paper adds:
SIN case Blaine consents to be nominated as
presidential candidate Alger will be pushed
for second place. This was also decided at last
nights conference. In case nothing will in
duce Secretary Blaine to rescind his determine
Alger will be pushed for the head of the ticket
by the entire anti-Harrison contingent all over
the country. He will then have behind him
such leaders as Clarkson, Qua1, Platt, Thurs
ton, Langston and Fassett, with all that that
implies"
Chairman Clarkson left for New York on the
noon train. He would say nothing in regard to
the conference.
Gen. Algcr was reticent when approached in
regard TO the conference. What the outcome Of
the conference was he declined to state, but
said that the political situation was canvassed
by those present and its possibilities discussed.
All were III favor Of James G. Blaine for Presi-
dent, and every means would be used TO get
him to accept the nomination. The general
declared that the talk about conspiracy
against President Harrison was silly, for the
reason that in this country. where every man
has Fight to have and express an opinion. such
a meeting as that held Wednesday evening was
no conspiracy. It was only to discuss what Il
best for the success Of the party.

ADJUSTMENTS,

Miss LINcoLN's CoNcERr.-The testimonial
concert rendered Miss Bertha ID. P. Lincoln ut
the Universalist Church last evening was not as
largely attended az it should have been, yet q
goodly number of her friends were there to well

Lincoln was in excellent voice and her friends
were gratitied to observe marked improve
ment in her singing. Her work last evening
evidenced earnest and conscientious study and
she is to be congratulated upon her success.
Mr.. Rieger was also in excellent voice,
and sang his numbers as delightfully."- as ever.
His voice is one of the best tenors on the con-
cert stage. Mr.. Rowland. a young baritone,
has good voice, though not so pleasing in the
upper register and sings with good effect. Mr..

REVENUE CUTTER SERVICE,
Secretary Tracy Makes = Strong ArEumel
Favoring the Transfer.

Secretary Tracy Makes . Strong Argument
Fsvoring the Transfer.
Today Secretary Tracy appeared before the
House naval committee and made strong argu-
ment in favor of the transfer of the revenue
marine service to the navy. The Secretary pre-
scented the case fully from his standpoint to the
committee and gave at length his reasons Why
the transfer should be made. He
also made IN argument in rebuttal to
that made by the opponents of the
measure and explained the benefits that would
accrue to both the navy and the revenue marine
by the proposed legislation. The point Of the
Secretary's argument was that the transfer
would give naval officers opportunities to ia
miliarize themselves with our coasts by service
on cutters, which they could not get by duty on
sea-going vessels, and that il would result in o
great saving from an economic standpoint to
the government.
Under the present condition Of promotion in
the navy the Secretary stated it was seldom that
an officer got command Of ship until he was
nearly fifty years of age, and by that time he
bad to certain extent lost confidence in himself.
would Immediately have commands, anda means
would be provided to give number of officers
duty at sea who cannot now have that service for
lack of ships. Not more than one-third of the
officers of the navy could now be employed on
sea-going ships, the Secretary stated, even
when all the vessels under construction were
completed.
The Secretary thought the objections raised
against the measure were purely sentimental
and did not believe it would demoraiize the
young officers. Is had been stated, any more
than duty on receiving ships, detached duty or
other service not purely military.
In concluding his argument the Secretary
stated that he still adhered to his former decla-
rations favoring the bill.
Indirectly he administered severe rebuke to
certain naval officers who have jealousy en-
gagged in the effort to defeat the bin by remark
ing that he felt it necessary to address the COM
mittee in support of the measure lest the mem
bers should be impressed with the belief that
ertain arguments made before it 10y bureau
officers OF the Navy Department were made
with his approval or consent,
