has not dictated, interfered or even sug-
gested the election of any one in the States
in which there are Democratic Legis-
latures and where contests are being
made. One of the objects of the charge

force of the public objection which. Mr..
Cleveland made to the election Of Mr.. Muir

TO be conveyed was that he was enGeayor-
ing to dictate a personal Senate"
HAS Mr.. Cleveland expressed himself
about these reports?"
''He has, ana most empbatieally. twas
reported that Mr.. Cleveland was In favor
of the election Of Mr.. Foote in California
as against Mr. White, because Mr.. Foote
was relative Of one of Mr. Cleyeland's
friends. The report was not true and Mr..
Foote's withdrawal was quickly followed by
silence as 10 the charge. Mr.. CleyeIann has

eeive many letters asking if the reports are

his objection TO Mr.. Murphy. as he had a

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Jan. 3.-There are
no new cases of disease at the pententiary.
The dozen patients have been discharged
from the hospital. The Mayor considered
the advisability of notifying the convict
lessees that he would arrest all conyicts
sent to work on the city streets, but on a
consu ltation of physicians it was decided
that there was no danger Of contagon from
cholera patients In the penitentiary, and
the Mayor withheld his proclamation tem-
porarly. The convict lessees say they
have the right to put men on the streets in

continue to do so. The Mayor insists that
he will march at the head OF his entire police
force, and arrest every convict on the
streets, If necessary, to protect the city

fines provided the authorities kept the
prisoners within the walls. and this will be
done.

CASEY IN DANGER.
His Opponents Determined to Beat
Him at AnV Cost.

BISMARCK. n. D., Jan. 3. = The chief
interest In the session of the North Dakota
Legislature. which convened to-day, centers
in the contest for a successor to United
States Senator Casey. The Republicans
have clear majority and the result hinges
on the decision Of the party caucus.
Caucuses for officers Of both houses were
held this morning, but the opponents Of
Senator Casey hope to secure his defeat
and prevented a caucus on the senatorship.
It is alleged some OF them have made over
lures to the Democrats and called the
attention Of Cleveland to the matter. The
latter Is said TO have refused 10 have
anything TO do with it saying the party
could not afford to run the risk of being
charged with corruption. and advised the
election Of as clean a Republican as pos
sible. 1t seems likely Casey will be elected
In the end.
The House organized with George Walsh
as Speaker, J. 6. Hamilton as chief clerk
and full set Of officers as chosen by the
EepublicaB caucus this morning. The
Senate organized also in accordance with

Five Men Fatally Hurt and the End
of the Fighting Is Not
Yet Come.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

LOUISVILLE, KY. Jan. 3.-The bloodiest
fight In Magoff1n C0unty's history took
place to-day about mile from Salyersville.
There were eight or ten Of the c0unty's best
known citizens engaged ON each side armed
with repeating rifles and navy pistols, and
the trouble, which had its inception in
trivial occurrences of the day before, cul-
minated In pitched battle. John Davis
was killed by pistol shot said to have been
fred after be was disabled and disarmed.
". Z. Deskins. a constable. was fatally
wounded by shot in the right hip. Monte
Vile Deskins. Justice of the Peace, has
not been found since the fight and Is sup
posed to be fatally wounded. Shepherd
Cole, the Coroner of the county. received
ssme severe blows with cubbed gun aud
,as die. Brice Patrick was shot through
RI, as psa is reported n he dyius ~
T. Patrick received rifle ball In the side of
the head and at first was supposed to be
dead, but rallied and his physicians say that
he will live IL there is no concussion of the
brain.
The reports as to who is Immediately re-
sponsible for the terrible affair are conflict
ing, and 1t is not even known who fired the
fatal shots. Dug Risner and Samuel Risner
were brought here this morning by Coroner
Cole and strong guards, charged, under
warrants issued at Monteville. with assault
on w. T. Deskins. The Coroner committed
the dangerous improperly OF making
guards OF the persons who were identified
with the prosecution and for whose protec-
ton the warrant was issued. This was
resented by the friends of the prisoners and
both sides came to town heavily armed.
The prisoners were taken before Police
Justice George H. Gardner and the COM
monwealtb not being ready for them they
were released under bonds. Some loud
talking at that time on the part of one Of
the prisoners very nearly precipitated q
fight in town, but the prompt interference
of the authorities prevented it and the
fight took place an hour later No arrests
were made and it Is feared that another

~ MURPHY THE CHOICE.
There VIII Probably Be No Opposition
tn Him

ALBANY, \. Y, Jan. 3.-The Legislature
convened at noon. William Sulzer of New
York was made Speaker Of the House
Governor Flowers message was read to both
houses and an adjournment taken for one
week. The Governors statement of the
finances showed theState owed $500 900 and
had balance of 81, 701. .4S7 in the treasury.
The Buffalo strike cost the State S192, CAT.
Commenting on the strike, the Governor
said any man had rIghtto quit work and
peacefully to pursuade others to 90 like
wise; but any exhibition of physical force
TO prevent others from working must be
prevented with the whole power Of the
State, if necessary. At the same time he
c0unseled employers that the desire for In
creased wages was the proper aspiration of
all employees and should be met In spirit
Of fairness. The Governor recommends as
a remedy for the sweatshop system
that a registry be kept OF all persons
taking out work and that none be
allowed 20 work In unhealthy quar-
teIs. The message recommends a
carefully guarded compulsory education
law; the utilization of power at the locks
Of the Erie canal for the generation of
electricity to propel canal boats, the power
TO be furnished by the State; the consider
alton Of legislation against the coal combi-
nation; rigid enactments against election
bribery, and Government supervision of
quarantine abroad, leaving local quarantine
TO the State.
The Democratic sentiment as gathered
here from leading Democrats of the State
OF New York indicates the desire of all for
the unanimous election OF Edward s. Muir
ply Jr. as United States Senator. The
predicted opposition does not materIalize.
From all that can be gathered by listening
to conversations in the different hotels and
other places in Albany, Mr.. Murphy is the
choice by an overwhelming majority.

TYPHUS OUTBREAK.
A Belief That II Will Not Turn Out an
Endemic

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The appearance Of
six new cases OF typhus fever and one death
to-day causes much alarm, but DR.. Roberts
of the health board summed up the sitaa
tion this afternoon as follows: There will
be no epidemic. We have only to watch the
lodging houses and the disease can be
stamped out. 1t is confined to these houses
and to North Brother Island"
One danger, which has not been spoken OF
but which has not been overlooked by the
health authorities. arises from the possibi-
ity Of some frequenters of the lodging
houses having been scared away by the
typhus outbreak and so having carried the
germs OF the disease into furnished rooms
in tenements or into the cheap boarding
houses.
Twelve new cases of typhus fever were
reported to-day, making sixty-six since the
outbreak. The third death occurred at
Riverside Hospital to-day.

The Property in Better Condition Than
Ever BEFORE

BosToN, Jan. 3-The News Bureau says
a syndicate nf American aud foreign bank
ers have traded with the trustees Of the
Union Pacific guarantee per cent notes for
all the Oregon Short Line and Utah
Northern consolidated per cent bonds held
in trust. About S4.O00,0O0 Of these
bonds were pledged under the famous
refunding Of the Union Pacific floating
debt OF 1891, when S13,530.O00 three-year

plation the three-year notes should be re-
duced in few weeks below $4,000, 600.

Some Investors Who VIII Now Have
Their Inning.


ST. Louis, Jan. 3-By the arrest to-day
of William Whaen in this city some 107
victims Of one of the most stupendous min
ing frauds OF recent years got hold OF the
author Of their undoing. In 1889 Whalen.
who was the reputed owner of mine called
the ST. Peter, in Antelope district, came to
this city, and by the aid OF a smooth tongue
and apparently good references succeeded
in placing among some 107 persons nearly
1900 shares of the stock OF tie mine In lots
ranging from 500 shares downward. To
keep up appearances Whaen paid out some
S65. 600 as dividends on the stock sold. At
length suspicion crept in and Whalen was
arrested. but a compromise was reached
and he left town. The stock fell fiat and Of
holdings OF q face value of $4,000 the
stockholders had left only the printed cer-

BLAINE'S CONDITION.
There Are Conflicting Stories, but
He Seems to Be Better.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 3--Blaine's condi-
tion has taken backward turn, but the
change is probably not of character to ex-
cite serious apprehension. The patient has
been suffering from constipation the past
two days.
The report that Blaine had suffered
another relapse and that his condition had
assumed an alarming aspect was not sus-
tanned by inquiries. On account of a Pc
culiar organic disease Blaine in his present
weak condition is susceptible to the slightest
change in the weather. These various
changes have depressing effect upon his
spirits. but are of short duration. Blaine,
1t is said. appeared unusually bright this
morning and showed an especial interest in
the doings of the members of the family.
The family share the belief of DR.. John
ston that the ex-Secretary is maintaining
the steady improvement noted in his condi-
tlon during the past week.

BUSHNELL,S MISSION.
Has Nothing to Do With the Panama
Concession

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3.-Some speculation
has been INDUCED in with regard to the
mission of II. NJ Bushnell Of Nebraska TO
Panama. BushnelPs mission has no rela-
ton, remote or intimate, to the Panama
canal, and 1t may be said that the State
Department has not the slightest idea Of
acquiring that concession for the United
States, whether the French relinquish it or
not. Bushnell Is there simply as special
commissioner to investigate the quarantine
system and to arrange for the adoption of
such regulations as will protect the health
of the people there and at the same time
not close the port unnecessarily to vessels
from the United States.
