WORKING FOR HARMONY.

Louisiana Democrats Agreeing to Settle All
Their Little Differences.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 15.-The State Cen
tral Committee met at noon to-day. There
was large audience, and lengthy execu-
tive session was held, the object being to
secure general interchange of views
among the members. The desire for har-
mony was unanimous. At 2:30 o'clock the
doors were thrown open and the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, The State Central Committee
of the Democratic party OF Louisiana do
hereby adopt and ratify all that the state
Executive Committee has done since this
body was last in session, and especially the
action of said Executive Committee IN dl-
recting that all the Democratic tickets have
printed on them Against the Amendment
and that all Democratic nominees for the
General Assembly be Instructed to vote
against any call for a constitutional con-
convention, and all other recommends
ions of said committee.
Colonel Crandall then moved that the
chairman of this committee be authorized
and directed to communicate to t. S.
Wilkinson. the chairman of the other COM
mittee. propositions looking to the unity
and harmony of the Democratic party, the
same propositions as those contained in the
proposition of the Executive Committee.

TAMMANY AND CLEVELAND.
The Tiger viii support the Ex-Presiden
Heartily If He's Nominated


WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 15.-TSpecial I
Some of the Tammany Congressman who
were summoned to New York to attend a
conference there Saturday night with Senator
Hill, have returned, and additional partic-
ulars of the conference are beginning to
leak out. Mr.. Croker notified the Senator
that Tammany would not go to Chicago
claiming that Cleveland could not carry
New York. While it would sing the praises
of Hill it would not abuse Cleveland. If
asked, it would frankly admit that if CIeve-
land is the candidate, Tammany will sup
port him as enthusiastically as it would any
otner candidate. The Kings county people
talked in very much the same fashion. Sen
ator Hill was very much upset by the result
of the conference, and instead of coming on
to. Washington to resume his sadly ne
elected Senatorial duties, he returned to
Albany.
The fact that Hill is sending out 100, 900
copies OF his Elmira speech from here goes
TO confirm the opinion of Senator German
that Hill intends to vote for free coinage.
1t will be remembered that the speech was
very satisfactory to such silver advocates as
Senators Stewart and Teller, but did not
suit New York, and in few weeks after
Hill made another speech at Albany, in
which he changed his views on the silver
question. The Elmira speech is being dis
tributed in the South and West. and a
goodly number of copies are sent into
Missouri.

CURTIS TELLS HIS STORY.
A NARRATIVE WHICH, IF TRUE,
CLEARS THE MYSTERY.

He and q Companion Both Arrested by
the Murdered Officer Grant-The Other
Man Breaks Loose and Fires the Fatal
Shot-Why the Actor Ran.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15-In opening
the defense in the Curtis case to-day At
torney Wilson said they would prove Cur
tbs was not left handed; that the nipper on
his right wrist would have prevented him
from shooting Officer Grant. and that Cur
tbs did not do the shooting; that witnesses
had been tampered with by the police and
the testimony suppressed.
Wilson said that on the night in question
Curtis was under the influence of liquor,
and near the corner of Third and Fulton
streets, he was accosted by man who
asked him for a light for cigarette, and re-
minded him of having played with him years
before. He walked several blocks with him,
Curtis trying to get rid ofthe man. Suddenly
he was knocked down, when Police Officer
Grant came up and arrested both OF
them. The other man started to run and
Grant put the nippers on Curtis wrist
Curtis did not know he had been robbed
till he reached the station. The officer took
the two men across Folsom street, when the
first shot was fred. Two other shots fol-
lowed, and, believing himself shot at, Cur
tbs broke and ran.
Attorney Wilson said he would introduce
witness who saw two men with Officer
Grant, and saw the men run rapidly up
Fifth street after the shots were fred.
Other witnesses would say the same thing,
and the man who ran up Fifth street was
not Curtis. Defense would show that Cur
tbs was not in the habit of carving revol-
yer and had none that night, that the man
who robbed him fired the fatal shot
Curtis then took the stand and testified
that on the night in question he left his
wife at the theater and took a walk He
told of meeting the man whom he did not
know, and of the subsequent happenings as
related by the attorney above. He said he
did not have a nistoI that niobt

RUIN OF FRESH PAINT.

How the Finest Luncheon Ever Given In
Washington Was Spoiled : Shocking
Discovery Made by tho Lady Guesti
After Partaking of Their Dinner.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 15.-[ Special
"A dreadful mishap occurred few days
ago at luncheon given by the wife of the
richest man in the United States Senate,
which has been much talked about in
fashionable circles. The luncheon was one
of series given in the new dining room
which was added last summer to the Sena-
tors x street house and gorgeously decor
ated in white and gold
The luncheon was by far the most ele-
CANT ever given In Washington. The
flowers and fruits were brought from the
Paclflc coast, the wines were imported, and
the vlands were served on plates of solid
gold The luncheon was an artistic and
gastronomic triumph, and greatly enjoyed
by the ladies until, as they were about to
rise, an awful thing was discovered. The
ladies noticed as they arose that their
gowns showed strange disposition to part
company with the white-and- gold art chairs
on which they had been seated. As they
looked at each other and began to arrange
their draperies, what was their horror to
discover that each gown was decorated with
broad, broken stripes of white paint.
A chill of dismay fell upon the company
followed by explanations of pain, surprise
and disgust, in tones varying with the tact,
self-control and temper of the different
guests. One lady who wore gown spe-
cially made for the occasion, in the owners
Judgment an inspired work of art, was so
chagrined at seeing the ruin which the
paint had wrought that she almost wept
The explanation of the accident was that
the chairs had been freshly painted and
gllded for the occasion, and in some unac-
countable manner had not been properly
dried before the guests sat down in them.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb 15.-The case OF
the United States versus Eugene Garcia,
paying teller of the Louisiana National
Bank, came up to-day in the United States
Circuit Court, Judge E. G. Billings, presiding.
Garcia is charged with the embezzlement of
$194, 900 of the funds of the bank. There is
much sympathy for Garcia, who alleges the
shortage occurred through mistakes
Garcia testified that he never stole
the money and never appropriated
one cent of it to his own use.
Witness solemnly swore that he never
speculated, gambled, lived high or kept
horses. His lite was simple, quiet and un-
ostentatious. He has good salary and is
satisfied with it. For 26 years he was not
one hour late coming to work.
Garcia seemed very much affected. Tears
frequently welled up to his eyes and his
voice became husky. DR.. Edmond, of
Souchen, testified to the condition of
Garcia during the past five or
six years. He considered Garcia very
nervous and impressionable man, and very
absent minded In fact witness was aston
ished that Garcia could occupy such re-
sponsible position as paying teller of large

conservatively in all measures taken, with
a view of upholding the honor and credit of

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-[Special Sir Ed
win Arnold spoke his farewell piece to the
American public at Days Theater to-day.
Before concluding his reading he made this
little speech:
ask your permission before I conclude
this last of my readings with some verses
from the Persian of Sadia, which explains
and justifies my books, to offer, first to you
and next through you, to the 65 audiences
which have had the honor to address in
various cities of the United States, my most
respectful and heartfelt thanks for the
grace and kindness of the receptions which
they have given me. I do not presume to
praise what is far above my praise the
large-minded enlightenment, the glad in
terest in great thoughts, which have found
everywhere existing and active in this
country, evidenced to me in many clear and
remarkable ways. But 1 will dare say that
here, if anywhere in the world, the poet
toward his kind and firm faith in their
glorious destiny, may fearlessly speak what
is in his heart and brain and be sure of an
attention as gentle and generous as it is cul-
tivated.

history of the human race depends for its
happy development upon that firm and
eternal friendship of the great republic and
of the British empire, which is at once so
necessary and so natural. Resolve on your
side of the Atlantic along with us who know
you on the other, to allow no ignorance, no
impatience, no foolish passing passion to
shake that amfty. The peace and progress
of the earth are founded upon it, and those
who would destroy it are guilty of high
treason against humanity
Sir Edward will go to New Orleans to-

thence by steamer to Japan. Later he will
go to India, where he will supervise the
transfer of the sacred temple of Buddha
from the Brahmins to the Buddhist priests.
