GEN. SMITH SERIOUSLY ILL.
He is Suffering From a Carbuncle Oh
His Neck.

He IL Suffering From a Carbuncle On
His Neck.
About three weeks ago Gen. Green Clay
Smith was compelled to take to his bed
on account of a carbuncle on the back Of
his neck, at the base Of the brain. 1t was
not thought dangerous at first, but a few
days ago DR.. John w. Bayne performed an
operation. which relieved him for the time
being. Since then, however, he has been
steadily growing weaker, and today he is
very low. though very slight change for
the better was noticed this morning. He
is only conscious at intervals, the danger
being that his vitality may give out, though
he is, physically speaking, a well-constitu.-
ed man. Drs. ]. w. Bayne and H. r. Street
are attending him.
The general is sixty-six years Of age, and
commanded brigade of Kentucky troops
In the Union army. He represented Ken
lucky In Congress from 1853 to 1866 was
governor of Montana in 1S66-69 presidential
candidate of the prohibition party in 1870
and is now the pastor of the Metropolitan
Baptist Church in this city. He was an
honorary pail bearer at the funeral of
Abraham Lincoln.

SILVER DEMOCRATS PLAN.
An Effort to Change the TyvO-Thirds
Rule In the Convention.

An Effort to Change the TwO-Thirds
Rule In the Convention.
Representative 10. Abbott Of Texas said
to Star reporter today that he thought
there will be an effort made In the next
democratic national convention to change
the rule which provides that a two-thirds
majority shall be necessary for the choice
of nominees for the presidency and vice
presidency. This rule might be changed by
the convention. by a majority vote. and al
though it has never been deviated from
since the organization of the democratic
party, 1t is thought the silver delegates will
seek to change it,as the only hope they will
have to nominate a silver man. 1t is gen.
orally conceded that the silver people will
not be able to muster two-thirds vote for
silver candidate, thought it Is thought
likely they might get a majority for such
candidate. But there is a long-seated
opposition among party men against chang
ing a rule that has grown SO venerable as
that requiring two-thirds majority for the
election of candidate for the presidency.

MURDERED BY KURDS,
Definite Information of the Fate of
Lcnz, the Bicyclist.

Definite Information of the Fate of
Lcnz, the Bicyclist.
Although he has been given up as lost
for over a year, the first authentic infor-
nation of the fate of Mr.. Lenz, the Amer
lean bicyclist who undertook to make a
tour of the eastern hemisphere on his
wheel, was received at the State Depart
ment this morning. 1t came in the form
of a cable message from Mr.. Terrell,
United States minister to Turkey, bearing
date of Pera, a suburb of Constantinople,
June 20. The text of the message is as
follows:
British consul at Erzeroum informs me
that Lenz, the cyclst, was murdered near
Dahar by five kurds, whose names he
gives. Arrest and punishment demanded
by me at the Sublime Porte and the CO.
operation of British consul requested"
When Last Heard From Personally.
The unfortunate victim of this outrage
was last heard from personally in a let
ter dated at Tabriz. in Persia, in April,
1894. He had just concluded a tour
through India and announced his inten-
tion of leaving Tabriz for Erzeroum, in
Asiatic Turkey, over a dangerous route
known to be infesred with brfgands. Ac-
cording to the statement Of the British
cor sui he met his death at a point in Ar
menia only fifty miles east of his destina-
ton, and when just about to emerge from
the semi-barbarous countries Of Asia into
Europe, where he would have been in bod
lily safety. AS it was, he successfully
traversed most of the Dan gerOus territory
before he was aSSassnated. Parties are
now engaged in looking for him, and it is
possible they may find some trace Of his
remains Secretary Olney has Sent copy
of Minister Terrell message to the friends
of the adventurous bcyclist.

Mr.. O'DrscoIl of Maryland offered a reso
luton. which. he said, would change the
democratic states. 1t provides for pro.
tective tariff reciprocity, honest elections,
gold. silver and paper on a parity, aggrss-
sive foreign policy. SC.
Mr.. Frank Greer of Oklahoma offered the
following:
First. We demand the free and unlinlit.
ed coinage of the American silver product
with prohibitive tariff on the foreign
product, modified by financial reciprocity
laws.
Second We are opposed to the single gold
standard inaugurated by Grover Cleveland
and the democratic party at the dictates
of England. We believe in absolute bi-
ed and maintained by the republican
-party-gold, silver and paper circula ting
upon a parity-one dollar tie equal in all
purchasing and debt-paying function with
every other dollar.
Third We believe in a tonnage tax, in
addition to the regular protective tariffs on
all goods entering our ports In foreign
vessels; that the American flag an
American marine may command surrem-
acy Upon the seas, displaced by the blight
ing monopoly by England of the world S

w c. Schultz of New York offered q
strong gold standard resolution.
B. L. Carr of Colorado offered the reso-
luton of the silver men that was given in
these dispatches yesterday.
A Sound Money Resolution.
Mr.. Gould of Massachusetts offered a
sound money resolution. 1t opposed the
free and unlimited coinage of silver in
very strong terms
The silver men and the anti-silver men
continued for some time alternating reso-
iutions that did not materially differ from
those that had been previously piled up on
the secretary's table by the representatives
of their respeo tive factions.
Mr. Knowles of Delaware broke the mo-
notony by offering a resolution for one
presidential term only of six years.
Then. in order to shut off the flood and
the fuss, a motion was made that the rule
for the reading of the resolutions be re-
scinded.
This brought out debate on the gag
rule. EX-Gov Prince. Senator-elect Thur
ston and others opposed shutting off the
reading. A debate followed, in which
neither the speakers nor the chair could
recognize each other.
Chairman Robinson, from the committee
on resolutions, came to the hall and re-
ported that the committee had worked all
night and again today, and had hoped to
be able to report tomorrow morning, but
if all these resolutions were to be consId-
cred the committee could not report before
next week .
The motion to rescind the rule for the
reading of resolutions in the convention
was lost !
Shortly after o'clock recess was taken
until tomorrow afternoon.

SILVER MEN DISAPPOINTED.

They Expected to Find Greater
Strength.
Special From Staff Correspondent.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 2O.-The silver
men have met with keen disappointment
since they reached Cleveland and surveyed
the field.
The delegates from the far west con-
fidently expected a measure of co-opera-
ton from some of the delegations from the
south, and perhaps from .he central
states.
They were very much cast down when
they found even the Arkansas delegates
wearing yellow badges and shouting loudly
for sound money.
Missouri, too, although hedged i'll with n
solid free silver phalanX Of democrats,
sent sound money republicans
The same showing was made by Ten
nessee, Mississippi, Alabama anfthe Caro-
linas, while West Virginia hoosed at the
idea of free silver.
Truly, 1t was hard lines for the Rocky
mountaineers, and their enthusiasm suffer-
ed perceptible check.
There is a marked difference between the
attitude of the sound money republicans
here toward their free silver brethren and
the position of the same factions in the
democratic party. The sound money re-
publicans bear more patiently with their
political brothers and 'disclaim any inten-
ton of being hostile toward the use of
mood to relegate the money question 70 the
rear temporarily, until some definite basis
can be provided upon which both factions
can meet.
In contrast to this is the well-known po-
sition within the democracy where the
line is sharply drawn by the sound money
men who are willing to cut loose from their
silver colleagues and make the fight upon
straightout lines of hard money against
fiat currency.
Probable Democratic Bolt.
The significance of all this to the politi-
clan is that there is likely to be wide
breach in the democracy within the next
year. with the cha1ces in favor of an
armed truce between the factions of the
republicans when the, time comes to go to
the polls.
Another indication iof the possible trend
of affairs in republican politics for the
near future is the movement In favor OF
| renewed agitation Of the tariff question

EXCITEMENT IN COMMITTEE.
Colored Delegates Resented Lack OF
Recognition.

COlOred Delegates Resented Lack of
RecHgnidOn.
Special From STAFF Correspondent
CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 20-An unex-
pected sensation occurred when the negro
question was sprung in the committee on
resolutions last night. Colonel James Hill,
member of the netional republican COM
mittee from Louisiana. and one of the
most prominent colored men in the United
States, was chosen to represent his state
on the committee on resolutions, and the
colored delegates hoped and expected that
he would be appointed on the subcommit-
tee. The failure of the chairman to recog-
nize the colored people left the colored del
egates and their friends among the whites
feeling sore. They were not in humor
to calmly consider resolution rejecting
on the negroes.
Hence it was that when a delegate from
Texas appeared before the committee on
resolutions and offered declaration in
favor of building up white republican
party In the country by having separate
conventions for whites and blacks there
was tumult in the room.
Excitement ran hieh for a few minutes
and the Texan reldktantly withdrew his
resolution.
But one contest came before the commit
tee on credentials, that of South Carolina,
where two factions contended for the right
credentials having the signatures of the
proper league officers of the state are repre-
sented by sbut two delegates Dr. Clayton
and Congressman Murray, colored man.
The opposing faction is represented NY
seven contestants.
DIR. Clayton presented their side of the
case to the committee. He is the member
of the executive committee for the state
and Is the highest league officer of South
Carolina. The trouble in that state has
grown out of a convention which was call
ed by Murray, and the fact that the con-
testants are not qalembers of the league
Bitter feeling existed between the two
factions and the contestants claimed repre-
sentation on the ground that they are re-
publ.cans.
DR.. Clayton stated that they had let the
party organization decline until there was
danger Of losing the organization alto
gether.
A full hearing was given both sides and
the committee decided to seat the delega-
ton holding credentials signed by the prop
eriy accredited officer of the league, or the
one represented by DR.. Clayton and Mr..
Murray. They at once rendered the de-
feated delegates the right to sit with them
as delegates and participate in all pro-
ceedings except the selection Of commit
teeman,
