Ben Tillman, although at present play

him as "a man of blood and iron" The
reckless, bulldog obstinacy he exhibits
comes to him both by blood and associa

Butler, was asked, Whats the news

dull, was the reply; "only one man killed
a week now" Not so very long ago
shooting scrapes on court day in and
around the public square were more fire.

front legs was crushed some time ago by

the dog, which is very intelligent little

with ex-President Harrison, in which
he refused to deny the interview with
Harry s. New as to his candidacy for
denomination. 1t was deemed signif-
icant, but the editor of that paper spent

The close relations of Manager Perry
Heath and Editor Woodward with lar
rison, and the fact that they spent most
of the day with Harrison leaves no
doubt about this being an official an

WASHINGTON, May 81 Disquieting
news was received at the treasury today
from New York, concerning gold ex-
portations. Rates of foreign exchange
continue high. and firm, and in con-
sequence large shipments are looked
for. The reports are that at least IS, O9o,-
600 will be withdraw for shipment from
New York. next Saturday. with the
probabilities that this amount will be
greatly exceeded. These shipments
alone will reduce the gold reserve to
about S92,00O.OOO. or course the gold
withdrawn does not diminish our ca N
resources. On the contrary as United
States AMI treasury notes are given in
exchange for the gold. each withdrawal
adds so much to the treasury available
cash balance.
OF the s1.500. 600 gold taken by the
Augusta Victoria S1,470,0ou comes from
the subtreasury. The drain upon the
reserve in the United States treasury
has led to suggestion that the banks
of this city redeem some of the S32. OO0,-
600 clearing house certificates which
they now hold and furnish the gold ex.
porters with rhe specie they require.
Lazard Freres shipped 81, GOO. 600 in gold

suits. When the hour set to march to
the state house arrived only forty men
were in line, but on the way more were
added, and total of 100 men climbed

Gen. Weaver marched at the head of
the column aud acted as master of cere-

greeted Weaver and informed the crowd
that the governor would appear shortly.

".AlI we want" SAID Weaver, "is to

Vice President Van Horn, of the

requesting that official To furnish a

replied that he would transport one

offer of Mr.. Cable was recalled. He
then read requests he had made to all

said:

executive council of the state and see

REPUBLICAN, CITY COMMITTEE,

On the street yesterday election ex-
element was at fever heat.
There were rumors and counter ru-
mors of the most wild and ridiculous
character, and after story had passed
through few mouths it was magnlfied
beyond recognition by the original liar
who set it ahoat.
There were reports that the canvass
was in progress and that the returns
were developing changes which made
losses for Smith and gains for Doran;
that Smiths plurality had been cut
down 10 $50; then that it was down to
1873; then that Doran was elected by 2.
and so on TO the end of the chapter.
Amid all this excitement the ballots
which record MIR. Smiths election arc
resting in calm quietude at the city hall
awaiting the opening OF the sealed
boxes and canvass of the votes by the
city council at their next meeting.
Under the election law the Judges of
election make out two sworn tally sheets
of returns. One is placed in the ballot
box with the ballots actually cast. and
the box is locked with spring lock. the
kew being placed upon The inside and
the seal of the judges placed upon the
aperture through which the ballots
are thrust as they are cast. A
duplicate of this tally sheet is
made out by the judges and sent by
them with (but outside of the box to the
city clerk. This duplicate the city clerk
is at liberty to open and allow to be in
spected. This has been done, and a
careful revision and rerevision and ad.
dition of the vote for mayor shows that
MR.. SMITH has EIGHT HUNDRED

GlllItH pluTdIly, Gle.
The report that the official canvass
was in progress making wonderful
developments grew out of the fact that
the Republican city committee went to
the city clerks office yesterday and
asked to have the privilege of inspect
ing and ta5ulating the returns. This
request was granted by the city clerk,
and the committee went through the
figures for the first six wards yesterday,
and. presumably, will go through the
other five wards today. When they
have completed their work they will dis.
cover that Robert A. Smith Is elected
mayor of St. Paul by SIS plurality
Members of the Republican committee
disclaimed to, GLOBE representatives
that they had any idea that their count
would show anything more than posi-
bic minor changes in previous reports,
as to the number of votes cast for Smith
and Doran respectively.
Whether this count of the Repub-
lican committee is merely for the pur-
pose of information or to cast discredit
on the returns they can best answer.
If for the latter purpose, 1t is refiec.
ton on their own judges, for every
precinct had at least two Repub-
iican judges to one Democrat, and
in son.e of the precincts every judge
was Republican. Possibly their famil-
iarity with their own party makes
them suspicious of themselves. and the
GLOBE will not attempt to galnsay that
they ought to he suspicious of the work
81 knI fN, H. e.
there was. as a rule, one Democratic
judge on the boards to see that an hon
est count was made.
Inspection of the outside duplicate
returns yesterday placed the city treas
urership III doubt. 1t was at first given
ont that the footings gave WAGNER,
Democrat. GO plurality, while yester-
days new inspection gave Horst, Re
publican, 60 plurality. There is, there
fore, sufficient element of doubt as to
who is elected treasurer, on the face OF
tie returns, to require the official count
to determine.
The only other development of yes
terday's tally sheet inspection was con
corning the assemblymen. 1t was set
tied that William Banholzer, Democrat
is elected, while this result had pre-
viously been reported as doubtful. l,
was further ascertained that Melady
Democrat. who has previously been re
ported as elected. is now in doubt a.
between him and Lewis, Republican
and the official count will be necessary
to finally determine which one Is
actually chosen.
As the GLOBE has previously an
nounced, johnson and Copeland, Re

and if Lewis should prove to have de
feated Melady the assembly will stan,

PITT sBURG, Ps., May 3.-The result
of the coal conference today was a call
issued by committee appointed by the
meeting for national convention OF
operators and miners to be held at
Cleveland at 2 p. m. May Is. The call

Secretary McBryde for the miners, and
for the operators by W. II. Holcomb,
Illinois; j. s. Smith Talley, Indiana; j.
s. Morton. Ohio, aud F. l.. Robbins,

wages was not discussed at the
conference, the main object being Co
operation. While neither operators nor
miners representatives would talk
much after the meeting as to the basis
of the compromise expected at Cleve-
land, 1t is said the miners idea will be
to secure the appointment OF an arbitra-
ton board on the English plan, which
will have iull power to settle all local
questions of dispute, thus putting stop
to future general strikes. The meeting
at Cleveland is expected to be partici-
pated in by practically the entire btu.
