WASHINGTON Sept. Z.
N N indication of the difference of
I'm opinion in the national demo-
I5\ cratic congressional campaign
Ii u committee is seen in the fac
lional disputes now raging In the
Hoosier Democracy. The tariff is the
rock upon which the campaign COM
mittee split. Senators Faulkner end
German and the other leading faetors
in the organization favored the senate
bill, and the class Of literature they
have been sending out has been in the
line of bolstering up that measure.
President Cleveland's friends have in
sisted on making the presidents letter
to Chairman Wilson the keynote of the
coming tariff campaign. The first
effect Of this breach has been felt in
Indiana.
Congressman Bynum is a member of
the congressional committee. lie was
also O member Of the ways and means
committee, and as such stood out
against the Wilson bill and in favor Of
the senate tariff bill By this attitude
he incurred the displeasure Of the
president and Chairman Wilson, and
their political following, but he won
the friendship of Senators German and
Faulkner, and the other friends Of the
senate bill, who are now the head and
front Of the congressional Democratic
campaign committee. Mr.. Bynum has
just completed his work Of editing the
campaign hand book
CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE PARTIAL
The complaint is being made among
some of the Indiana Democrats that
the campaign committee is giving
more attention to Mr.. Bynum's dis
trict than to the other Democratic
fights now waging In the Hoosier state.
The campaign committee makes no
concealnen; Of Its deep interest in the
reelection Of Mr.. Bynum, but insists
that there is no intention to discrimi
nate against other Democratic congress
sional oHndidates.--
The influence OF the Democratic cam.
paign committee will, it is asserted be
extended in an equal measure to all
Democratic candidates for congress
this year regardless Of their affiliations
on the coinage or tariff questions. But
despite this, the charge is being freely
made that 1t Is part Of the policy of
Senator German and his compatriots In
the tariff fight to look after their own
friends In the congressional elections
this fall and leave the administration
favorites to hustle for themselves,

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. z.
n Under date of Aug. 81, the fol-.
I'LL lowing>has been received from
Hi Bluefelds: Madriz, special
W commissioner, has issued decree
setting aside the order for martial law
In the cities and villages of the Atlantic
coast, to take effect on the day of in
stallation of the municipal govern
ments. 1t also orders that on Sept 18
elections shall be held in BluefeIds,
Pearl Lagon and Corn Island for the
formation of the respective municipal
tiles,
A few days ago the two dictators,
Cabezas and Madriz, committed an
other outrage upon Americans. The
launch which was steamed to the bluff
on the evening OF July 6, with several
Mosquito and Jamaica negroes, was
seized and brought to anchor before
the Nicaraguan government building.
Minister Madriz was given orders to
confiscate. the boat, as she played part
against the wishes Of it's owners in the
murder of Nicaraguans.
Under the new arrangements pro-
posed by Nicaraguans, unless a man Is
property holder, or has the sum Of
500 soils, he will not be allowed to vote.
Thus the government of Bluefislds and
the entire territory will be controlled
by very few, and 1t is safe to say that
a majority of these few voters will be
Spaniards.
PRISONERS WELL TREATED.
Captain Morgan. of the steamship
William G. Hewes from Bluefields,
Nicaragua, which arrived here yester-
day, speaking of the Americans i'm
prisoned at Managus, said that from
all the information he could get there
it would seem that they were being
treated with the utmost consideration
by the Nicaraguan government. A
letter received by Mrs. Henry
Brown, Of Bluefelds, from her hus-
band, who is one of the Americans con-
find at Managua, says that every want
Of the prisoners Is abhndantly supplied
by the government, their allowances of
eatables and drinkables being psrticu-
larly plentiful. This kind OF treat.
ment on the part Of the Nicaraguan
officials Is looked upon as nine days
wonder by those who are familiar with
the hardship to which they are wont
to subject their prisoners.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-Information
has been received at the state depart
ment that the two Americans banished
from Nicaragua for completely in the
Mosquito rebellion are now at Costa
Rica. 1t is said that these men were
we'll satisfied to accept the terms Of

or asking the protection of the United
States minister to remain in Nicaragua.

The fire which caused the sounding OF
the alarm from box 42, Third and Fellows
streets, at 80 last night was in the cellar
OF a small house on Fifth street owned by
a widow named Roche Until a week ago
the house was tenanted by Arabian image
vendors and the cellar contained a lot of
straw and shavings in which the plaster oi
Paris ware had been packed.
Officers Martin Gurrell and Sartor saw
smoke issuing from the empty house and
got lamp to go inside and locate the fire.
They were met by John Roche, son of the
owner, and he knocked the lamp from the
officers hands and otherwise obstructed
them. The Eagle Hose company ex-
tinguished the blaze before any damage
was done. Roche was arrested and taken
to police headquarters on the charge Of
interfering with the officers
Chief Ferber was seen by TRIBUNE re.
porter after the fire and he declared that
in his opinion Roche is the one who has
been burning barns in Bellevue. MIR. Fer
ber thinks Roche is the incendiary who
burned the barns Of Liveryman Kerrigar
and Butcher p. W. Joyce year ago, wher
two Of Kerrigan's horses were roasted
alive.
Chief Ferber said that while Roche was
in Pittston for six weeks last May and
June a half dozen barns were burned
there In addition to the charge against
him at police headquarters warrant will
be sworn out before an alderman today
charging Roche with arson.
