A TRIPLE DEADLOCK
First Congressional Convention
Adjourns with No Choice.

TO the indianapolis Journal.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, April 19.-The con-
gressional convention of the First district
adjourned in a deadlock after midnight,
after taking forty-seven ballots The vote
at that hour Stood Frank b. Posey, 50;
James A. Hemenway, 50, and Arthur p.
Twinehem, &C. The outlook now is quite
uncertain as when the convention opened.
There were six candidates at the opening of
the convention, but McCutchan, Leonard
and Truscott have cut no figure at any
stage. The convention is good-natured, but
seems TO be unwilling TO accept any solu-
ton Of the problem. The friends of each
candidate stand to their colors with sur
prising steadfastness. The following reso-
lutions were adopted before the balloting
commenced:
The Republican party of the First con-
gressional district, in convention assembled,
profess renewed and ardent devotion to the
principles of the party as laid down in
the platforms of the national and State
conventions of 1892, and call on all true and
country-loving men to assist in the restora-
ton of our paralyZed industries. The
mournful contrast between existing condi-
tions and the marvellous prosperity of the
country under the Republican administra-
ton, fully warrant our belief that there
is but one right side and that the hope of
the country lies only in the restoration of
the Republican party TO national control"

CHEYENNE, Wyo.. April 19.-Ex-Presi-

through Cheyenne this afternoon en- route
from the Pacific coast to Indianapolis.
Three thousand people gave him an inform

waited. Ex-senator Warren introduced
General Harrison, who said:
Il did not intend TO discuss political mat

of the whole people; as a citizen, while L
have my own convictions and hold them
strongly, 1 hold them in perfect respect for
the man who differs from me. The ac-
cumulated energy and push of this people
Is such that we cannot always be kept in
the trough of the sea. We shall be on the
crest of the wave again. How soon and
by what method the great patriotic people
of this country will determine. 1t is not
well worth while 10 hold office; no man can
make il worth while, no honor can make
IL worth while, unless a man can leave Of

you and abide with you and may every
American citizen be guided so that his in
fluence may be on the side of those meas

South CarOlina's Dispensary Law
Declared Unconstitutional.
Profit to the State Feature Condemned
as ViciOus-200 Blind Tigers"
Open at Charleston.

COLUMBIA, S. c., April 19.-The Tillman
State dispensary liquor law has been de-
clared unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court of South Carolina. The decision was
rendered by Chief Justice McIver, Justice
MCGOWAN asserting. Justice Pope. Tillman-
lite. dissents. The decision was rendered
In a composite case-a case originating In
Darlington. and appealed to the Supreme
Court by the State authorities, and several
minor cases likewise appealed by the
State. The ground on which the law is de-
clared unconstitutional is that ii creates
monopoly for the State. Justice McIver's
decision declares the law unconstitutional
In nearly every respect, and practically
holds that ii cannot be upheld on any vital
point. The profit to the State feature is
declared vicious
In answer to rather pressing request
for statement. Governor Tillman said
to-day: 'T have not read the decision. and
do not know its scope yet. L have tried to
enforce IL because ii was the law. The
action of the court makes it incumbent
upon me to take such steps as, in my
judgment will protect the State. The mat
ter Is not finished. / will obey the court
Tor the present and appeal to the supremest
court-the people,"
John Garry Evans, a candidate for Gov
ernor, and Governor Tillman's right-hand
man, declared to-day that the decision was
a political one. and il is believed that the
Tillman administration will meet the result
on this line. The law decided unconstitu-
tional to-day is the old law, but the opin-
ION practically -annihilateS the new and
amended law, as the provisions declared un-
constitutional are identical in the new law
The only hope of the administration is said
TO be in securing a stay until June. when
a new TflIman justice will supplant Justice
McGOWan on the bench.

Views of COnEressmen

WASHINGTON, April 19-The South
Carolina delegation in Congress was thrown
into CONSERVATION on the receipt of tele-
grams stating that the Supreme Court of
the State had declared the dispensary
liquor law unconstitutional The dispensary
law has been such a supreme issue in South
Carolina, accentuating party lines. that the
Congressmen from that State regard the
decision as profoundly important.
Mr.. McLaurin. who. as former Attorney
general. is familiar with the case and has
all the briefs which the decision was
based, said: THE essential point in the
case was whether the State had the right
TO engage in the whisky business as a
means Of profit and TO raise State revenue.
No one doubted the power To regulate the
business for police purposes but the legal
point was made that the State could no
more go into the whisky business for profit
any other business enterprise. 1t is prob
able that the decision hinged on this
main point. The decision is not a personal
reverse for Governor Tillman. He has sim
He did not make the law, but the Legisla-
ture enacted il. and ii was his duty TO
execute it."
Representative IsIer a member of the
conservative or anti-Tillman party of the
State. said that the decision would un-
doubtedly bring peace TO much disturbed
State. The law had been a source of poit-
ical division and individual contention. This
had brought but disorder and riot within
the State and much criticism of South Caro-
lima from the country at large.
Representative Talbert, of the Reform. or
Tillman. party said: Il think the decision
will have the effect of strengthening the
reform party. on its face il appears TO be
a reverse. and IL will undoubtedly appear
that the decision Is biased and il will eX-
cite such feeling I'm the State that the re-
form element Will eventually be benefited" !"

WASHINGTON, April 19.-Speaker Crisp
to-day authorized Sergeant-at-arms Snow
TO make public the new form OF certificate
by which the old law, in disuse for thirty
years. is revived and the pay Of members
is "docked'' for absenteeism. The member
certifies TO the number Of days he was alb
sent during the month and the Speaker cer-
titles TO the amount due him Mr.. Snow
said, concerning the new system: Il feel
that IL must result in much confusion and
friction, yet, as the law exists and the
House wants me to execute ii, / will do SO.
There will be many difficulties in keeping
the accounts, and members viii necessarily

time we will not have the members signed

The certificates cannot be made until the
last moment as the deduction for absentee
ism may occur on the last day. Then il Is
not within the bounds OF possibility for $50
members OF Congress To make out their
certificates at the moment they are wanted.

The Butte Contingent.

BUTTE, Mont, April 19.-The Butte con-
tingent of the Coxey army. fully five hun
dred strong, started on its march to Wash
ington to-day. A mile east of the city it
captured an east-bound Northern Pacific
freight train consisting of five cars and a
caboose. The engineer had orders to run
the train back TO the yards in case the
E--7E attempted TO capture IL, and obeyed
the order. When the train reached the
yard Sheriff Reynolds and a crowd of depu-
ties took the engine from the control of the
Coxeyites. Marshal Hogan, of the army"
then held an interview with the local agent
of the road and the army postponed the
start until tomorrow. The soldiers wanted
TO hold the train, but finally agreed 10
transfer their baggage to an empty box
car and go into camp.

our tearing up the tracks for them?'
The meeting then named committee OF
prominent citizens to go to the Bluffs in the
morning, and plead with the railroads to
give Kelly a train. 1t was understood that
Omaha workmen should march to the
Bluffs in the morning to give the army
whatever physical assistance IL might need
in case it had not left by that time The
signal for meeting was TO be blowing OF
the whistle at the Union Pacific shops. 1t
is expected several thousand will go.
General Manager st. John, of the Rock

after learning the condition of Keily's men,
advised President Cable by telegraph to

HAGERSTOWN, Nd, April 19.-The COM
monweal arrived here this evening. The
town was alarmed after the way the Coxey-
ties showed their teeth at Hancock last
night and seventy constables have been
sworn In. The army came near taking in a
desperate recruit last nigh. at Hancock.
The man had been loafing for day or two
with a camp of twenty-five recruits that
had been waiting on the outskirts of town.
Just before the arrival of the commonweal
boats the man was identified by Sheriff
Wilhelm, of Fayette county. as James Ma
son, alleged to have been the murderer of
chief engineer Paddock IN the Connellsville
coke riots two weeks ago. Mason was ar
rested and taken back TO Fayette county.

CHARLESTON, S. c.. April 19.-The
news of the handing down of the dispensary
law decision by the State Supreme Court
was received here shortly after 10 o'clock
this morning. An hour later upwards Of
two hundred blind tigers had recovered
their eyesight and were in full blast Many
of them hung out signs inviting the passers-

TO accept the invitation. There was no lack
of stimulants in the city, an immense
stock had been laid in when the dispensary
constabulary was engaged in the Darling

that Governor Tillman will call an extra
