Lieutenant Backus. heard Prom.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-The
only information received at the
war department concerning Lieuten-
ant Backus Is confined to foreign
dispatch stating he had turned up
and been identified. IL is presumed
at the war department that the
officials at Governors island will
look after the lieutenant, and until
they have reported no instructions
will be given as to the disposition
that will be made of him. The
natural course will be to have him
examined 10y the medical officer
at Governors island, and if found
insane, as his conduct would seem to
indicate, to bring him to this city
for treatment at the government in
sane asylum. Lieutenant Bliss,
aide To General Schofield, who was
II classmaie of Lieutenant Backus,
Gays he has not seen the latter for a
number nf years, but W hen he grad
uated he was an exceptionally bright
young officer, and a man of the
most exemplary habits. A letter
received here from friend of the
Lieutenant, attributes his trouble to
the too free use Of morphine, which
he has been taking to allay neural
gic pains.

A REGULAR BATTLE.
Cattle Men and Band of Horse
Thieves Fight.

HELENA, Mont, April "a dis
patch from Dillon announces that
battle occurred two days ago be-
tween bind of horse thieves and
cattle men on the Montana side of
Windy river. The cattle men be-
coming exasperated by the depreda-
tions of horse thieves, began to
organize a search for the robbers and
found a large b Idy entrenched in
winter quarters. They attacked
them, and were repulsed, losing
eight killed and many wounded.
The robbers lost heavily. The place
where the fight is said to have oc-
cured is isolated, and news of the
fight would not reach outside for
several days.
CASPER, Wy, April "a courier
from the seat of war arrived here
yesterday and reported that an
army of Pinkerton's cattlemen were
after the "rustlers" In camp at
Marrows about seventy miles north
of here. The army is well supplied
with ammunition and supplies.
The "rustlers" made small ranch.
men believe IL to their interest to
oppose the army. 1t is believed that
IA fight will take place today, the
"rustlers" are prepared, and they
think the army will show no quar-
ter. Another army of cattlemen is
reported to be on their way to rein
force the first. No one doubts that
the cattlemen from Texas and Mon
tana are combining in an effort to
crush out the "rustlers." If they
unite they will undoubtedly win
the battle.

morning. The chief executioner
has received a number of threaten
ing letters from anarchists. Anas-

He promised by a movement of his
eyes to certain questions. The
brother will ask regarding the sensa-
tions experienced when the knife

Geary's Anti Chinese Bill and SEN
ator Doiph.

SAN FRANCISCO, April ga
Washington special says: "rhe
Pacific coast senators have resolved
to make a determined effort to pass
Geary's Chinese till in the senate.
There is a good deal Of opposition to
be vercome. The fact that Senator
Do'ph is not as warm in support OF
Geary's bill as he should be, is
littls bit dlscouraging to bis friends
Of the coast. Sepafor Dolph's bill
xtending the existing anti-Chi-
nese laws for further period of ten
years was ignored by the house OF
representatives, consequently, the
senator has grievance against the
Icw er body, and he declares Geary's
lill is almost too radical. The sena-
TORS Pacific coast friends, however,
are inclined to think he will moi
manifest any serious opposition to
the Geary bill, having always here
tofore been arrayed on the side OF
the laboring men against CHEAP

MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRATS
In Convention, Adopt a Platform
Favoring Cleveland.

Favoring Cleveland.
BosToN, April 9.-The ID mo-
cratic state convention for the choice
of four delegates TO the national con-
yentlon at Chicago, met yesterday
Hon. Edward Avery, Of Bralntree,
was chosen permanent chairman.
When Avery said that the next presl
dent must be Democrat, there wns
applause and shouts of cleveland" ]"
Avery attempted to proceed, but
cheers were demanded for Cleve-
land, and given with will and a
tiger. Then came a call for cheers
for Hill. These were given, but
with liberal mixture Of misses, AS
Avery proceeded to draw the ideal
candidate, the convention was quick
TO recognize the portrait of Cleve
land, and there were reported cries
of cleveland"
A platform was adopted with Il
few dissenting voices. 1t reaffirms
the principles of the Democratic
conventions Of 1890 and 1891, and
says that from the power to tax
arises the whole force of govern
ment, but taxation must be limited,
and 10 more money be collected
than is necessary for an economical
administration of the government.
The free wool bill now i'm congress is
approved; as are bills to place coal
and iron on the free list; it favors
General reduction of tariffs imposed
hy the bills of 1888 and 1890. Re-
ferring to money, it says: We be-
lieye IN honest money, the gold and
silver coinage of our constitution,
and currency convertible into such
coinage without loss. We believe
that all dollars coined by the United
States should be equal in intrinsic
value, and all paper currency Issued
by the government should be re-
deemable in either gold or silver
coin, at the discretion of the secre-
tary of the treasury. While we
believe in the full reconciliation OF
the latter metal by international
agreement, we are equally opposed
to the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver by our government, indepen-
dent of action by other nations. We
denounce the Republican act of
1890.
The platform declares the best
interests of the Democratic party
demand the nomination Of Grover
Cleveland. When Cleveland's
name was mentioned there was rap
turous applause, and the convention
was plainly in sympathy with the
resolutions. Thomas r. keenan,, OF
Boston, offered resolution favorlng
David B. Hill, of New York, but as
there were some objections to it,
Keenan, withdrew it.

WORDS FROM THE POPE.
Contained in a Letter Written to
Cardinal Gibbons.

BALTIMORE, April 9.-The Catho-
lie Mirror Of this week will contain
correspondence between Cardinal
Gibbons and the pope. In his letter
to Rome the cardinal wrote:
1--WE need hardly say how much
light your holiness recent eDcyclical
letter las thrown on social questions
closely connected with the good Of
religion, since its wisdom has been
apparent even to many who are not
of the faith. However, If we are
not mistaken, it would seem that
several things which 1t contains
were especially written for the good
of the country, and for this reason
have been productive of much fruit
among us, There was yet another
matter which we recognized with no
less pleasure. A groundless fear had
taken possession Of many mind
lest what was being commonly cir
culated about "national bishops"
though without any foundation
Whatever, should be reduced to
practice. We did all in our power
10 dispel this idle apprehension.
especially when we saw the matter
bitterly discussed ih the public press
and looked upon with disfavor by
the government. Our words, how
ever, were of noavail until the voice
of your holiness was heard. Tha
put an end to all discussion anC
manifested to our government tb'
wisdom and prudence with which
Catholic affairs are handled by your
holiness"
The answer of the pope contained
the following;
1--WE rejoice, indeed, that yol
esteem the care which we have be-
slowed upon your dloceses and tht
sentiments of gratitude which your
letter expresses have for us no small
comfort. All these things avail, as
YOUR devotion increases, to incline
our good will daily more and more
toward you and your flock, and thus
to draw close those bonds of charity
and faith which give such great
strength and glory to the church.
1t is most agreeable to us to know
that your prayers are offered to God
for us, for nothing is better suited to
the difficulty of the times In which
we live. With like feeling of charity
therefore, we on our part implore an
abundance of heavenly graces for
you, and as an earnest of them i'm
part permanently in the Lord, to you
our loved son, and to your brethren,
and to the episcopate of the United
States, as we'll as to the clergy and
faithful committed to your watch
fullness, the apostolic benediction. "
