The Republ' cans of Idaho Raise New
Slogan.
PocATELLo, ID. May 6.-Ths republican
state convention to nominate six delegates
to the Minneapolis convention was held
here yesterday OK Senator Mcdonnell be-
ing chairman. The convention was domi-
mated by two leading ideas, free and unlim-
tied coinage Of silver and James g. Blaine
as the candidate OF the party for PreSi-
dent. The speeches were devoted largely TO
these two subjects, and it was apparent that
the delegates were very much in earnest on
both points. and the name OF Secretary
Blaine aroused wild enthusiasm whenever
mentioned. The following delegates
were selected; Senator Dubois, Willis
Sweet, James NJ. Shoup, w. B. Hepburn,
Monte b. Gum aud ID. G. Lockwood. Fresi-
dent Harrison is not referred to in the plat
form but a strong Blaine plank was adopted.
On the silver question the platform reoites
at length the evils attributed to silver de-
monetization and continuing says: "The
Republican party to-day i3 confronted with
the alternative of restoring silver to free
and unlimited coinage or losing the results
OF protection. The anti-silver policy OF the
government is lowering the prices OF all
products and wages must eventually be in
volved In disastrous decline notwithstand-
ing the protective system"

NEW YoRK, May 6.-The meeting of the

in either an abandonment of the plan, or
action which would encourage hope of final

modification of the plan in the future cans
not be avoided. All OF the members of the

RUDINI RESIGNS.
French Papers Think the Crisis
Menaces the Dreibund.


Menaces the Dreibund.
ROME, May 6.-The Marquis di Rudini,
the prime minister, to-day rendered to
King Humbert the resignation of all the
members OF the cabinet, due to the refusal
yesterday of the Chamber of Deputies to
adopt vote of confidence In the govern
ments financial policy. which included a
heavy reduction In the credits to be devoted
to military and naval expenditures.
King Humbert has not yet accepted the
resignation OF the ministry, and he is uu-
decided what course to take in the matter
1t is we'll known that the finances OF Italy
are In very bad way and in some quar-
ters this condition of affairs is attributed
solely to expenses incurred in maintaining
ltaly's place in the triple alliance. But
this is not alone the reason, There is
another form OF extravaganza that is not
peculiar TO Italyal one. This is the irrational
number of employees IN all departments
of the government. Signor Crispi was the
first prime minister who resolutely set
about reducing the number of employees in
the public service and be was really UPSET
on the project for reduction Of administra-
tive expenses by this means. This fact was too
patent to the Kudini ministry for it took a
risky step IN this direction, and the result is
that placeholders are still drawing large
sums annually from the public treasury. In
the opinion OF many people, economies in
the army and navy are the last that should
be made. The expenditure on the army
is, paradoxical as it may seem, the most
profitable the nation makes. The army is
the school of manhood of Italy, and the
surest aud quickest means Of indispensable
unitication, still incomplete, and the best
cure for many ancient evils still lingering
in the body polite.
FRENCH PAPERS ELATED.
PARIS, May 6.-The newspapers here hail
the Italian crisis with great satisfaction,
holding that it will be a check TO the triple
alliance. The Figaro says King Humbert
is In a dilemma; that he must either disarm
his army or see his country bankrupted.
The GGtlots claims that the Italian situa-
ton is a triumph for the vatican.

A BANK PRESIDENT ARRE srED.
He is Charged With Grand Larceny
of the Banks Money,


of the Banks Money.
New YORK, May 6.-Gharles II. Pink
ham, formerly president Of the Harlem
Bank, was arrested to-day on charge of
grand larceny. Bank Superintendent Pres
ton and NJ. r. st. John, of the Mercantile
Bank, and the directors Of the Harlem Bank
are the complain ants The charge grows out
of a transaction in 1889 and came to the sur
face in the recent work OF consolidating the
Harlem Bank with the Hamilton Bank. Mr..
Pinkham, in his official capacity in the bank,
gave two promissory notes to A. II. Wood,
a theatrical man now in prison for
swiudling 10 connection with the erection
of the Harlem theater.
These notes were for the payment of
money, made by Wood, and bore the face
value OF 81, 900 and 1900 respectively. He
also states that he also gave his check
on the Harlem Bank for s14,500
to Wood for the notes according to the
complaint and accommodated others in the
same way, the whole amount being stated
at $4,000. Pinkham Is 40 years old and at
present general agent for the Equitable
Insurance Company. Bail was fixed at
$500. David +. Porter. successor to Mr..
Pinkham as president of the
Harlem Bank, said: "Mr. Pinkhan
borrowed OF the bank for himself, or se-
curities which we have found to be worth-
less. So far as known he is not a gambler
or fast man. The son Of an ex-alderman
seems to have benefited by these trans-
actions, and l am free to say that we should
have him indicted toon

sippi river, has been suspended owing to
numerous wsshouts along that portion OF

trains coming east have to stop at Daven-
port and Rock Island, and west
bound trains will not attempt to move out
Of Chicago before this morping. At Joliet
