ing that the Committees Snap Judgment Be
FOilsd-Ths Committees Sentiments Do
Not Accord with the Party's Views.

New YORK, February 6.-The follow
ing has been issued by committee OF
mem 0ers Of the Democratic party, who
are opposed to the calling OF party

"The State Committee has called its
convention for the twenty-second OF
February for the manifest purpose Of
forestaling public opinion, and OF in
fluencing the political action of other
States by an apparant unanimous dele
CATION OF New York in favor OF the pre-

any action at al"
"Above all we counsel constant and
earnest devotion TO the great issues
which carrien the party to victory in
1890, and absolute loyalty to the candi-
date who shall be declared by the Ma
tional Convention of the party to be the
best and truest representative OF those

In the Command of the Baltimore and
CharIestOn-SchIey and Rsmy Relieved.
WASHINGTON, d. c., February O.
There were some smpOrtant orders Is
sued from the Navy Department to-day,
interesting in view of the recent pros
pect of u Chilean war, Captain w. D.
Schley is relieved from the command OF
the cruiser Baltimore, which had occu-
pied such a large share of public atten-
tion, and placed on duty in charge OF
the Third Lighthouse District, with
Headquarters at Staten Island, New
York, relieving Captain II. (. Picking,
who is ordered to command the cruiser
Charleston, which figured so prominent
ly in the Itata incident.
Capt. Geo. G. Remy, is relieved from
his command and granted two months
leave Of absence. The Baltimore is TO
be commanded by Capt. Wm. White
head who is at present on duty at the
Boston navy yard. he will leave that
position the 18th and will take COM
mand OF the vessel as soon as he can
make the journey across the continent.
1t was stated at the Navy Department
this morning that these orders had no
bearing on the Chilean episode, as the
relief Of Captains Schley and Remy is a
matter Of rule, those officers having al
ready served more than the regulation
time as commanders Of vessels. The
relief from their commands during such
a period a. the Chilean affair would
have been regarded as rather severe un-
less there were some specific reason for
the change.

Arrested at Middleport, Ohio-The List OF
His Crimes Increasing

MARIETTA, O., February 6.-The in
tense excitement caused by the J. S.
Stowe, Jr., forgeries has not abated,
but is on the increase, as new forgeries
come to light. The case is resolving
itself into large proportions, and is the
most systematic work Of the kind ever
committed in this county. The authori-
ties have kept up steady search, and
kept the wires hot with description Of
him to different points in Ohio and
West Virginia, until finally their re-
ward came In the shape of his
arrest by the authorities at Middle
port, O., this afternoon. 1t is a sur
prize to everybody, when it is known
that Stowe was apprised Of the fact
while in Parkersburg OF the forgery
coming to light, and of his probable ar
rest, and at once by perjuring himself
obtained a considerable amount Of
money in that city. with which it was
supposed ne would go to a far-away
point and avoid arrest as long as possi-
BILE. He was among ftiends at Middle
port, and with others who left Marietta
to avoid the grand jury and poker. The
marshal left this afternoon for Middle
port to bring Stowe here.
The grand jury will consider Stoves
case in the morning, and then adjourn,
after the longest session in years. 1t
was expected that they would give the
gamblers an airing, but they have left
1t TO future grand jury.

Tie Husband Names Several Prominent People as
AdUlterOus CO-Respondents and Leaves His
HOms-Ths Wife Charges Conspiracy to
Defraud Her Of Their Estate.

CLEVELAND, O., February Ga SEN
sation was caused Yesterday when Capt.
j. w. Moore, one Of the wealthiest and
best known vessel owners on the lakes,
began suit for divorce against his wife,
Mrs. Laura Q. Moore. He is about sixty
years old and she about forty. He mar

her with gross unfalthfuinesS at many
times and places and cites a number OF
instances.

pondents. Capt. Moore has for a week
lived at the hotel, and his vile occupies
their handsome house on Detroit road.
To-day Mrs. Moore sued Capt. Moore,
Capt. VIM. Mack, Capt. Richard Neville
A. RumSey, j. Arthur Wilson, and an
other whose name is unknown, for
500, 900 damages. She alleges that
Wilson, or person going by that name,
was introduced to her by VIM. ). Mack
as being personal friend OF her family,
and that Wilson, under plea OF taking
her to visit his wife, and through the
conspiracy of the defendants, took her
instead 10 house OF i'll repute.
Sha claims that Wilson compelled her
to remove portion of her clothing and
that when she was in that condition the
door opened and VIM. S. Mack, Richard
Neville, A. Rumsey, and another man
who said he was an officer Of the law,
entered. The intruderS, she says, then
ordered the alleged officer to arrest her,
which he did.
Mrs. Moore claims it is conspiracy
to deprive her of her just share of her
husbands estate, and that Wilson was
paid $1,000 for his work.

TO CAPTURE CARA.

This Government and Mexico Decide to
Take Active Measures to that End-
Neutrality Laws to be Enforced.
WASHINGTON, d. c., February O.
The Cara movement along the Mexi-
can border is giving the officials of the
War Department considerable trouble
just at present. No secret is made Of
their disappointment that Cara il still
az large la American territory and that
his operations cannot be confined eXclu-
Siyely 10 Mexican territory. Cara aud
his followers are known TO have re-
ceiyed aid and sympathy from the Mex
lean residents in the vicinity of the
Rio Grande, and the fact that United
States troops are unable to capture the
revolutiOnists is in a large measure at
trlbuted 70 the deceptiOns practlced on
them by these people.
General Grant, acting Secretary OF
War and General Schofeld had con-
ference with the President on this sub
ject to-day and it is understood that IL
was decided 70 take vigorous action 10
capture Cara and his immediate fol-
lowers and drive them out OF this coun-
try. Senior Romero, the Mexican min
lister, also had talk with Secretary
Blaine on the same subject to-day and
was assured that this government would
do its utmost to preserve the neutrality
laws.
The President OF Mexico has with
drawn the suggestion made by him that
Mexican troops in close pursuit Of the
revolutiOnists be allowed to cross the
Rio Grande at points where the exact
line Of division Of the two countries is
as yet underlined, like privilege to De
conceded TO United States troops under
similar conditions. 1t is understood
that this action was taken at the sug-
geStion OF this government, on the
ground that the presence Of armed
troops on foreign territory might result
in dangerous international cOmplica-
tiOnS.
This government will continue to CO.
operate, however, in the strict enforce
ment of the neutrality laws.

Anti-Lottery People Think q Bitter Fight
VIII Have TO BE Made to Put Down the
IustitutiOn


VIII Have TO BE Made to Put Down the
Institution.
New YORK, February Ga private
dispatch received by Mr.. Charles Is.
Spahr, one OF the editors OF the Chr'S-
tian Union, from Col c. Harrison Par
ker, editor Oh the New Orleans Net0
Delta, the organ of the anti-lottery
party. He says:
I'VE will push the fight TO finish.
II is war TO the death. We have no re-
lance on the Morris promises. The
Fostor ticket will march on 10 victory.
Mr.. Spahr, who attended the conven-
tion at Baton Rouge in December has
been following the campaign in Louis
lana with special interest and has been
in constant communication with the
leaders Of the anti-lottery movement.
Speaking with reference TO the Morris
letter and the present condition OF al
fairs. Mr.. Spahr says:
"UnleSs n Governor and Legislature,
hostile TO the lottery, are elected, the
business OF the lottery company can't
possibly be brought 20 an end before
January /, 1895, and would then prob
ably be allowed TO continue without au-
thorization in the constitution. With
the State machinery in its hands, the
lottery might easily call constitutional
convention and secure arecharter with
out submitting the proposition to the
people.
"Many Of the anti-lottery people be-
lieve that Mr.. Norris himself, who is a
millionaire, with influential social con-
nections in New York and Boston, would
gladly give up the fight and retire from
the lottery business with the fifteen or
twenty million dollars he Is reported TO
have accumulated, but it would only be
too easy for him to dispose of his inter-
est to other men. In spite Of the postal
law fifteen or twenty million dollars a
year comes to the lottery company from
other States In the Union.
Those who have been fighting the
battle against the lottery therefore ap-
peal to the friends of their cause In
other States TO help them in the strug-
gle. The anti-lottery people in Louisl-
ana have already contributed beyond
their means In carrying on the cam
paign aggressively in every corner OF
the State The fight is rot over; the
hardest part Of it is just ahead"

received from Ellsworth stating that he
had changed his mind, as he found that
he could wed a young lady in Valpa-

tain II her recreant lover told the truth,
