LONDON, April 24.-The Timss says:
President Harrison's rumorcd nesotia.
tions for n silver conference are an
obviously evasivc and i'll sorry attempt
to temporiza with with soft money
partisans while escaping rupture with
mercantile interests in the eastern
and central states. We fear another
period Of uncertainty and iluctuation
has been initiated by his electioneerins
move without the slightest chance oi
permanent settlement OF the problem,
or a real and lasting improvcmentof OF the
market. Mr.. Goschen, like some French
and German tinancicrs has expressed a
desire for the rehabilitation OF silver,
but we are inclined to think that sucl,
expressions, unless intended to lead 10
definite policy do moro. harm than
good.

A Man Murders His Niece Because She
Chose Her Own Lover.
SALT LAKE, UTAH, April A.-News
was received tonight OF a terrible trag-
cdy at Park City, Utah. As a
young lady, Miss Grace Fluclling,
was walking along tho railway
track conycrsing with young mai.
named Paradise, the lady's uncle, Il
Mr.. Trot.man, dogged their footsteps.
Then making a circuit he got ahead
OF them and hid in the bushes. AS the
pair got opposite Trottman jumped out
and shot the girl twice, once in the head
and once in the back. She died in
stantly. Then Trottman. realizing the
enormity OF his crime, sat down behind
the body OF his neice and shot himself
in the head. At this writing he is not
dead, but will not recover.
About five months ago the girl alb
scntcd heself from home, and her iami-
" thought tho act was on account OF
Paradise, though no criminality was
suspected. But her uncle Trottman told
her ii she went any more with Paradise
he would shoot her. To-day he fulfilled
his threat.

FARMERS ALLIANCE APPEAL.
a Critical Perlod In tho History of tho
Ordrr-A Despsrnts rlen.

Critical Porlod In tho History OF tho
0rder-A Desperate rien.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April o4.-The
Post will tomorrow print n circular con.
cerning the coming council and tho
members OF the executive committee Of
state Farmers Alliance at Birmingham,
Ala, on Tuesday, tho Sd OF May. 1t is,
in part:
This is the most critical period In tho
history OF tho order. Never has there
been such universal and such loud
cry from tho order TO tho officers for
directions how 10 conduct tho local
fight. Never has there been 30 little
concert OF action among tho officers OF
tho different states and sections. This,
II allowed to continue, must be fatal |;
concert of action Is imperative, and sue.
cess cannot be achieved without it.
The political contest threatens tho
destruction OF tho order. 4 lack Of
any uniform action by the order
threatens tho political slaughter OF its
friends. Tho nation is so large that tho
expense attending national councils OF
this character is too great to be borne
with convenience; it has therefore been
decided by tho national president and
national executive board that tho presi-
dents and executive committees OF the
states having like difficulties to meet
be called together In council.
The presidents and members Of tho
executive committees OF the following
state alliances have been invited to at
tend: Virginia, West Virginia Mary
land, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Maine,
Kentucky, Oklahoma and Tennessee.
Let no ordinary cause prevent your
coming, but should you find it utterly
impossible for you to come, have your
committee select proxy to represent
you. 1t is understood that this meet
ing will be strictly secret with none
present but those invited or their ac-
credited proxies. You arc requested
to 1T once notify c. W. Macune, 24l
North Capitol street. Let us in con-
clnsion appeal to you by all that you
love in this cause to be present.
The circular is signed by G. W. Ma
cune, chairman; J. +. Tillman, secre-
tary; Alonzo Wardwell, executive
board, and approved by l.. L. Polk,
president.

RAVACHOL's PEDIGREE.

His Patornnl Ancestors for Three Genera.
tions Have AL Becn Hanged.
PARIS, April 24.-Inquiries in regard
to Ravachols pedigree have revealed
the fact that his grandfather, great.
grandfather and great great grandfather
were all hanged. They belonged to a.
band OF robbers that terrorized certain
districts in the Netherlands for many
years. Ravachol is apparently scared at
the Wholesale arrests Of anarchists made
last week. He has become depressed
and refuses food, appearing to fear be-
trayal. He receives numerous letters.
One assured him that plan was being.
prepared to prevent his execution if he
should be sentenced to death.

stttici Dispnich to The Intcli1snctr.
WAsnlSGroS, y. G., April 24.-When
Secretary OF War Elkins appeared be-
fore tho subcommittee OF tho commit
tee on appropriations Of tho senate in
charge OF tho military appropriation
bill i day or two ago, hc suggested an
idea ior popularizing tho army and en-
couraging the militia in a mdnucr as
novel ms it was interesting.
Secretary Elkins has for years past,
i,scems, entertained the belief that the
amy OF the United States, now one OF
the smallest on the iaco OF the globe,
,houd be kept constantly under the
public eye with view not only to i'm
proving its efficiency aud keeping 1t on
iooiing with sll OF tho advanced armies
Of the world, but 10 considerably in
rrcasing its strength. III his opinion
$4,000 men would not be too large
military establishment in this country
and his reasons for that belief wcre
suggested to the committee. lle thinks
The time has come when the lurser
states OF the Union should have
Stationed within them large garrison
d federal troops composed either OF
IN cntiro regiment OF cavalry, artillery
or infantry. or 4 mixture oil all three
corps. This would not only guarantee
peace and good order in any OF those
emergencies which however improb-
able, are at all times possible. but would
also afford TO the civil governments OF
each state 4 much larger opportunity to
improve the efficiency OF tho militia
organizations.
The secretary takes Il very active in
tereSt in the affairs OF the militia OF the
states and one OF the tirst acts OF his adj
ministration in the war department
was 10 recognize and enlarge the bureau
which has charge OF all matters per-
tanning TO the state troops. lie believes
that large garrison OF troops within
each state, aside from the moral effect
oi its presence, would 90 far by way OF
example 10 teach the militia the duties
Of practical soldiery.
Rules and regulations could bc adopt
cd dby which the state autho critics them
selves Of the services Of n certain num-
Der OF officers rs instructors oil state
troops while it would also be practica-
bic TO arrange for an annual joint en-
campment OF fedora! and state troops.
