at Birmingham, Ala, after Icing convict
cd and sentenced to death for crime OF
which be was innocent, He was enabled

Of tbi, city, fer whom be was working at
the time the murder was committed
Now Canes the sequel to the story in the
tragic death Of the real N uIderer who

ious intent, and Persica blew his head of

Concerning our Pension List.

=
BENJAMIN Harrison, Of Indianapolis de-
liysred a speech at the G. A. R. encamp-
ment recently held in that city, in which
he insulted every man Of the orgarlza-
ton who loves honor and decency. We
still refuse to believe that the grand Army
of the Republic is chiefly composed OF
men who SEEK to prostitute their patriot
lam. Oar faith in the integrity of the
order has received some stunning blows
however, and we are forced to believe
that it is al least dominated :by dlsloyal
men. Indiana lately erected magnificent
monument to her soldiers, and Indian
spolis this year subscribed $4,000 for
the G. Ar. encampnent. Yet the g.
Ar. insisted that the dates of the hexi
can war on this monument be moved up
to an obscure place on the shaft. Even
With this concession, the G.. A. r. changed
its route and insulted the soldiers monu
ment BY refusing to march past 1t. There
were some Georgia and Mississippi troops
In the Mexican war, consequently that
war vac fought by traitors. After thus
shsmefully affronting every instinct OF
honest loyalty, these men listened to Mr.
Harrison ssy: "Hss the moth Of avarice'
the caukss of greed, so eaten into the
hearts of tIis geneIatiOn that they are
unmindful of these men God forbid J"
And in the face of the fact that this
generation is paying annually one ham
dred and sixty million dollars in pensions
--nsarly one.half of its total revenues
fouI times as much as the combined pen
siou lists Of Europe,-to neatly fonr hun
dred thousand more men than ever en-
lated in the Confederate service-twenty-
eight years after the close Of the war,-in
anita Of this, no one in Mr.. HarrisOn's
audience had the spirit to get up and kick
him hard and repeatedly, or even to re-
sent the insult in a lsss ostentatious man
mar. IL ia hard to realize how the Grand
Army of the Republic could have been
placed in its present shameful attitude

A FUTURE FOR BLOUNT
He May Be Sent as Minister TO
Hawaii.
There Are Objections, but They Will
Probably Not Have Much
Weight.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON. April 2s.-An official of
the State Department said to-day that
nothing was more probable than the ap-
pointment of Special Envoy BlOunt to be
Minister TO Hawaii to take the place Of
Minister Stevens. who sent IN his resigna-
tion some time ago, and is supposed to be
on his way to the United States at this
time. Though nothing definite is known in
regard to the matter. it is supposed that the
assumption of superior authority over him
by Mr.. Bount in ordering the American
flag to be hauled down from the Govern
ment building fastened the apparently un-
ceremonious action of the Minister, and
that the latter may have an interesting
story to tell touching the actions of the
quick-tempered SOutherner who has sup
planted him so absolutely. It Is clearly
apparent from the atmosphere of the State
Department that, aside from those officials
who have been appointed by Cleveland,
there is little sympathy felt in that quarter
for the policy of the new administration
relative to Hawaiian affairs.
OF course there are many reasons why
Blount should not be made Minister to
Hawaii, and these reasons are perfectly
well understood by President Cleveland.
The hauling down of the American flag
was not popular in this country. for in-
stance, and 1t has been criticized as no act
Of u foreign representative of the nation was
ever criticized before, but that criticism and
hostility would have no weight should the
President desire to appoint Blount.
There is, however. another and much
more important objection, or at least one
much more likely to have weight at the
White House. This lies in the fact that a
commissioner appointed to assist in settling
a controversy between two parties in a for
eign nation can hardly hope to be persona
grata to all factions after the settlement is
effected,

parade was late and he was compelled to

into the carriage at the hotel to drive to the
reviewing-stsnd the President struck his
head against the carriage door, abrasng
the skin on his forehead. The doctor al the
hotel dressed the wound, and after delay
Of ten minutes the President proceeded.
DIR. Burt said the cut on Cleveland's head
was not serious The sharp edge of the

the skin gash an inch and n half long

KEPT BAD FAITH.
Cause of the Navajo
Trouble.
TWO ASSASSINS GIVEN UP.
The Whites Had Reason to Think
There Were More.
SO TOOK HALF A DOZEN INDIANS.
This Was Resented by the Red Men
and There Will Likely Be
Serious Trouble.
SO TOOK HALF A DOZEN INDIANS.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

DENVER, April 2S.-The trouble between
the Navajo Indians and the white settlers
in Southern Colorado and Northern New
Mexico has caused great excitement here.
Although no hostile move has been made
on either side yet an outbreak may be ex-
pected at any moment. The trouble arose
over the killing last week of an Indian
trader named Welch by the Navajos during
a quarrel which may have resulted from too
much hrewater. Yesterday the settlers and
Indians held conference, and the latter
decided to give up the murderers of Welch.
Accordingly twoIndians were turned overtu
the settlers, but they thought that morered-
men were implicated in the murder and
captured half dozen additional savages.
The Indians objected to this, and de-
mandeG the return of the prisoners who
were last night taken by the whites. This
was refused by the settlers who were re-
enforced by coMb boys from the surrounding
country.
The Indians number 1000. and the settlers
would have little chance in case of battle.
The matter up to this hour is unsettled and
may result in fight at any time Governor
Waite was telegraphed to for aid, but owing
10 the trouble being in New Mexico he can
take no action.
WASHINGTON, April 2S. - Lieutenant
Plummer, acting Indian agent at the Navajo
agency, New Mexico, reports an uneasy, ex-
cited feeling among he indians. One white
has been murdered. and the lieutenant asks
that four troops Of cavalry and two COM
panies of infantry be sent in that section.
Governor Thornton has also asked for
troops and General McCook. commanding
the department of Arizona, has been or
dered TO supply them.
Late this afternoon a telegram from
Agent Bartholomew of the Southern Ute
Agency, Colo, stated that serious com mplica-
tions were arising en- the San Juan River
between the NavajOs and settlers. The
Navaios surrounded several white families
seventy miles southwest of the agency.
The Ute chiefs have offered their friendly
offices TO restrain the Nayaios, and the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs has ap-
proved the suggestion that they proceed to
the scene with the agent.

LIKE HIS OWN FATHER.
What 1t Was That Saved
Premier Gladstone.
The Assassin Was Ready, but the
Appearance of His Venerable
Victim Disarmed Him.
Special TO THE MoRSING CALL.

LONDON, April 2S.-The Pail Mall Gazette
states that on the day the Irish home-rule
bill passed to second reading William
Townsend, the man under arrest on the
nominal charge of having discharged re-
yolver unlawfully in a public place, but
really on suspicion of having intended 10
assassnate Gladstone, lay in wait for
Gladstone's departure from his residence
with the full purpose of numbering the
Premier.
Townsend. armed with loaded revolver.
deliberately prepared to shoot Gladstone as
soon as he came within reach. When Glad
stone came out of mis- residence and the
would be assassin saw him his purpose
weakened, for the peculiar reason that the
venerable appearance Of the Premier re-
minded Townsend of his own fathers
appearance on his deathbed. The pistol
slipped from the fingers of the intending
assassin, and he rushed into the park, sank
on a bench and burst into tears. 1t is
asserted that Townsend made his way into
the Central Hall of the House of Commons
on the same night and vigorously de-
nounced the home-rule bill.
