THE New YORK mugwumps and
anti.snappers have definitely determ-
ined to repeat their last years trick
and to hold State convention in op-
position 10 that called by the regular
organization of the New York democra-
cy. 1t is publicly stated that while
neither Mr.. Cleveland nor Secretary
Lamont will take part in this attempt
to disrupt the party to which they be-
long in their own State, both of them
will refuse to support the ticket to be
nominated by the regular democratic
convention. This can hardly be so, for
they know that though the vast body
OF the New York democrats opposed
the nomination of Mr.. Cleveland, they
supported his election TO man.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 26.-There are pros
poets that those persons opposing free raw
materials in the Wilson bill, coal, iron and
lead ore. lumber. etc.. will concentrate
their efforts to secure changes in the bill in
the Sen ate. Delegations representing
these various\interests will be here during
the coming week to begin the work, Dem
ocrats, as far as gossible, being delegated
to make the protests. John NJ. Burke of
Idaho, the advance guard of the lead men,
is here and will be joined in few days by
others representing the States of Montana.
Wyoming, Nevada and the Territory Of
Utah. Burke says free lead ore will abso-
lutely paralyze the mining industry of the
States and the Territories named. He was
Dem ocratic candidate for Governor of
Idaho in the last campaign. If the duty
on lead ore cannot be retained. in part at
least. by the Wilson bill. these lead miners
will ask for the retention of the duty of 2
cents on pig lead. reduced by the Wilson
bill to 1 cent. An effort will be made on
the part of the representatives of the sew
eral interests to combine so as to secure
concerted action, but whether the combi-
nation can be effected is uncertain.

What Was Claimed to Be an Accident
May Prove a Murder.

from gunshot wound, which took effect
on the right side. Immediately above the

emerging under the left ear. In its course
through his neck it passed directly through
the center of his windpipe. so that the
wind passed out through the apertures.
The men who brought him to the hospital
stated that the wound was accidental, and
that it was caused by the explosion Of
pistol which fell on the floor.
Dyke says lie was a common laborer
working in the vicinity of Sanger. He
claims he was sober at the time of the in
jury. and that as he went into saloon

Now it appears that the mysterious visit
of Mrs. Leslie Carter to Superintendent
Byrnes on Saturday is a direct result of
the Belasco row. Mrs. Frederic Belasco,
hearing, as she claims, that David had
been circulating slanderous stories about
her, went on a still hunt for that gentle
man Friday. She did not find him at his

mother, responded.

she was about 10 push past Mrs. Dudley
into the hall when Mrs. Carter appeared.
what do you want here, Miss Wal
lace?" demanded Mrs. Carter.
-: Mrs. Belasco, if you please" corrected
that lady, with dignity.
Mrs. Carter apologized for the slip and
assured her visitor that David was not
within. There were some angry words.
and Mrs. Belasco departed, yowing ven-
geance. just how David heard of this
may never be known, but that very night
he sought out his young brother and smote
him right heartily on the eye. The next
morning Mrs. Carter visited Superinten-
dent Byrnes and begged him for protec-
ton against Mrs. Frederic Belasco. Byrnes
told her thai he could not interfere in fam
lily troubles and babe her depart in peace.

Cash Balance i'm the Treasury Still

WASHINGTON. Dec. 26.-The prospects
are that during the present week the

The total balance the 1st of the present

ton during the month Of S4,712. 34S. The
loss, however. has fallen more largely on
