LOUISVILLE, May 3.-Henry Waiter
son, in a letter from Washington re-
viewing the political situation, con-
cludes as follows: 81 believe and I
hope that the disappearance of Cover
nor Hill from the field even of conjec-
ture, and the apprehension of his alleged
methods allayed, the clear good sense of
the party will reassert itself, and that
two months hence all Democrats will
see. as plainly as is now seen by Demo
Gratis who are advised of the true situa-
tion, that the nomination of Mr.. Cleve-

because of two simple, conclusive rea-

OMAHA, May 4.-The second days
meeting of the quadrennial conference
was opened with Bishop Merrill, of Chi
cago. in the chair. The galleries and
balconies were crowded with sightseers,
mostly women. The devotionals were
conducted by DR.. j. @. Hatzell and
after singing the Coronation, the min
utes were read and Immediately there
was trouble, as many of the delegates
claimed that their votes had been re-
corded improperly and heated discus
sion arose and an hour was lost in try
ing to straighten out the records.
1t was finally discovered that the pub
lished report in the daily record was
erroneous aud peace was restored.
The conference seems to he a body of
men with at least six distinct opinions
on each and every question and the pre-
siding bishop was compelled to beg time
and time again to have order, but it
seems to he almost impossible to secure
it. Many spectators drifted inGo the
hall and appropriated seats set apart for
delegates and would not give them up,
and it became necessary to call the roll
to discover the wolves who had gotten
into tie fold.

annouhced DIR. Stiles White, sitting
among the layman, had lost his pocket
book, containing $40 and ticket. This
raised quite a ripple of laughter and DR.
Palmer threatened to eject any reporter
who would publish the facts, whereupor
every reporter in the room copied it il
his report.
Bishop Foster now assumed the chair

impossible to proceed with business.

A heated wrangle ensued and twent,

Ruralist: Even the editor of THE

to accept the price OF prostitution. He
took time to write to make sure that
the company was solvent.
Even if the editor of The REPUBL1

Senator Pettigrew sends THE EEPUB-
LlcAN a copy of the recent speech OF
Senator Chandler upon Senator Pal
mer's proposed amendment to the con-
stitution providing for the election OF

argument against the proposition, the
gist of which is summed up as follows,
based on remark by the Illinois sena-
tor that the. people of Illinois believe
that the election of senators by their
state legislature under existing condi-
tions has failed of satisfactory results:

will resign in June ssto return to the

ticket before getting very deeply i'm

Argus-Leader: The MITCHELL RE
PUBLICAN says Sioux Falls is '' ''lawless'
because she does not enforce the prohib-
itorv law. Then must Mitchell be law
less for she does not enforce the law
against swearing. See?
The MITCHELL REPUBLICAN said
nothing of the kind. What it did say
was as follows in the issue of April 2G:
But what is it if not lawlessness for
the city government of Sioux Falls to
encourage the violation of state law
by giving its violators q quasi-protec.
tlon for consideration?
In its issue of April 24th The REPuB,
LIcAN also made the following obser.
vation:
The Sioux Falls Press very properly
argues that the city authorities have
nothing to do with enforcing the state
prohibitorv law. But by the same sign
they have less to do with encouraging
its violations by receiving so-callee
license money.
Does the AL. feel like discussing
these propositions fairly, or does it pre-
fer to misrepresent The REPUBLICAN
as above?

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-The World has
mail advices from La Guayra telling of
the arrival of the Caracas at that port as
follows: There is intense excitement
in this city over the arrival of the Red
Line steamer Caracas from New York
by way of Puerto Cabello, an insurgent
port. Captain White, in command of
the United States cruiser Concord, an
ticipating difficulty, advised the cap
tain of the Caracas not to deliver up the
steamers papers at the customhouse
here. Furthermore, in order to keep
those papers from falling into the hands
of local customs officials, Commander
White sent boat to the Caracas with a
force of armed men, who received the
and conveyed them to the Concord's
commander for preservation until the
Caracas should be ready to sail. Two
Venezuelans were thrust into prison on
landing. for having taken passage on the
Caracas from Puerto Cabello. The Gus
toms officials at first refused to grant
the Caracas permission to discharge her
cargo, but afterward consented to allow
her to unload freight consigned to this
port.
United States Minister Scruggs has
sent formal demand to the Venezuelan
capital for the return of SIX refugees
taken from Caracas some time ago, and
now in the hands of Urdaneta. He has
also demanded salute to the American
flag and the payment of personal dama-
ges to refugees. There was no regular
government to reply to these demands
for reparation, as the capital is in a
state of anarchy. Foreign merchants
are imprisoned unless they give money
to the army. Minister Scruggs has ad-
vised Americans not tn pay anything for
such purpose. Villegas Pulido, who.
has assumed the role of president, has
taken an army of $4,000 men and started
to attack General Crespo at Los Teques.
A rigid press censorship has peen estab-
lished throughout Venezuela. Trouble is
apprehended when the steamer Caracas
undertakes to leave port.

Another steamer Loaded.

NEW YoRK, Sept. 26.-On board the
steamer Caroline Whiting, which is
lying off of Twenty-sixth street, Brook
lyn, everything was quiet today. Her
cargo of mysterious bundles and boxes
is safely slowed, and her bunkers filled
with coal. Captain Eldridge said the
vessel would be ready for her voyage be-
fore Tuesday morning, but would not
say what her destination is. He laughed
at the idea that he could not land load
of arms ON the Venezuelan coast in spite
of the efforts Of President Pulido's gov
ernment. He says h will engage his
crew tomorrow and that two passengers
will go'on the voyage with him. Who
these passengers are he will not tell. In
further conversation the captain said
the syndicate which owns the Caroline
represented IN this city by w. III. Bow
man, had been approached two weeks
ago by Minister Bolet Peraza, who said
he desired TO buy the Whiting for the
Venezuelan government and paid $4,000
for FIVE days option. This, however,
was allowed to expire, and the present
charters of the ship do not represent
the government of Minister Bolet
Peraza.
