Special Dispatch TO the Standard.
HELENA, Jan. 10.-The republican
caucus met at 80 o'clock last-night in the
hall of the house of representatives. SEN
ator Folsom was chosen chairman. The
first two hours was devoted TO prelimi-
nary work the principal part of which was
the disposition of the long and short
terms.
1t was finally agreed that the west side
should take the short term.
At 1915 o'clock the nominating speeches
began.
Rodgers placed Richards in nomination
and Metcalf and Knippenberg seconded
the nomination in vigorous style.
Mantle was placed in nomination by
Senator Sigh, the nomination being
seconded by Tallant and Paschal 4
forward and depositing his vote as his
name was called.
The result was: Lee Mantle, 81; John
E. Richards, 16; B. f. White, 3.
The nomination of Mantle was made
unanimous amid hearty applause.
Mantle's campaign was remarkable for
its aggressive, but clean and honorable
methods. There has mover been the
slightest suspicion of the use of money TO
secure his nomination. Nor was there
any large and bosterous lobby working in
his behalf. He did not have to have any.
His claims to the position were recognized
from the start and as soon as the mem-
bers of the legislature had assembled in
Helena it was perfectly clear that he
would be his party's choice.
Governor Richards conducted an earn-
est and active campaign, but the odds
were too heavy against him and the Won
der is that he could not see that he was
not in it at all, but as late as o'clock
this evening some of his friends were pre-
dieting his nomination with the utmost
confidence.
Sanders was put in nomination by
Leonard, Carter by Baggs, Weed by Myer,
Power by Collins, Story by Anderson. The
first ballot resulted:
Carter, Il: Power, Il; Weed, z; San
ders, II; Story, 4.
Second bollot-Carter, 21; Power, u;
Weed,7; Sanders, IA; Story, 3.
Third ballot-Carter. %; Power, IA;
Weed. 6; Sanders, u; Story, 3.
This ballot was declared void, the total
being 5S. an excess Of one. \ motion TO
adjourn was lost.
Fourth ballot-Cartor. 10; Power, 10 f;
Sanders, 10; Weed, 6; Story, >. 1t was
now 2 o'clock and motion to adjourn till
8 o'clock tomorrow night was carried.

KNOCKED IN The HEAD
Carlisle'S Currency Bill Pul OuL in a
Punch.
THE TEST VOTE AGAINST 1T
Springer Is the Only Ono OF the
Committee Who StlIl Thinks
There's a Show for the
Treasurv's Pet Plan.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Socretary Car
isles currency bill is considered defeated
as the result of n test vote on the passing
of a rule 20 close debate. With the single
exception of Chairman Springer the MEM
bers of the committee on banking and
corrency stated after the defeat OF the
rule that the bill was killed. They also
agreed that no further currency legisla-
ton was possible at the present session.
Speaker Crisp and his democratic asso-
ciates OF the rules committee have re-
allied for several days thero was ma
jority against the bill and the result to-day
was accepted without surprise.
Springer said after tho test voto against
the bill: 1--WE will make no effort TO take
up the bill again this week. 1t would be
well for the house to turn its attention 10
other bills and after n rest from the
finance debate it may be made apparent
that a majority will support the bill. l do
not think the adverse vote on tho rulo
puts an end TO all currency legislation. SO
far as am concerned shall continue to
press the subjedt until something is ac-
complshed."

RICE'S WHISPERS.
They Are the Arkansas Turfman's Most
 Valued Possession.

A special telegram to the St. Louis Post Dispatch from Chicago, says: "Capt R. R. Rice, the Arkansas turf man, is one of the characters of the Western circuit. Besides his race horses the Captain owns an immense cotton plantation in Lincoln county, but, undoubtedly, his most valued possession is his tremendous crop of whiskers. They reach below his knees and are so lengthy that the Captains friends are afraid that his legs will get tangled up with them some day. Naturally, the conse- quences would be disastrous.

A NEW CHIEF CLERK.
A Change In the Railway Mall Service
 That VIII Delight Many,

W. L. Cate is no longer Chief Clerk of the Railway Mail Service in Ark ans. He has been removed from that position and placed in one of lesser responsibility.
 Mir. Cate is Republican of the most pronounced and partisan stripe As Chief Clerk 0f the Railway Mail Service in Arkansas he had vast power over several hundred govern ment employees, and he never failed to use that power against those un- der him who were Democrats. It is gratifying that the administration has at last curtailed his power and placed a Democrat i'll the position he held and abused.
 The gentleman who succeeds him is Mr. Price, late clerk on the Monet & Paris K. P. o. He is said to be a man of intelligence, executive ahility and sound Democrat, and we feel sure that the railway mail service, under his management, will be greatly improved.
 MT. Cate was removed to St. Louis and will act in the capacity of Chief Clerk of the Iron Mountain route. He will only have about sixty men under him, instead of perhaps 300, as heretofore.

A REIGN OF TERROR.
DOWN IN CLEVELAND COUNTY
Caused by Negroes Supposed to be Escaped Conviets.-A Fight in Which One Negro
 Was Killed.

From a letter from Rison yester- day we learn that there is great excitement in Cleveland county three miles west of that place, caused by the depredations of gang of negroes supposed to be escaped con- viets. From whence these culprits came no one seems to know, but they are going through the country searching the houses of white people and terrifying the white women. A posse has been organized and is in hot pursuit On Friday a battle took place in which one negro was killed and another badly shot and one white man slightly hurt. Yes terday a posse was securing the country for the blacks scoundresl and it is thought they will be cap- tured. The white people in that section of the county are much alarmed and are up in arms.

The Agreement to Be Abrogated.

Today the officers of the St. Louis Southwestern railroad served notice to the telegraph operators employed on that line that the agreement be- tween the company and operators would be void after July 2S. This is supposed to be a strike at the organ ization known as the Order of Rail- way Photographers, which, it is claimed, has been assuming to the members of the order more power than the officials of the railroad deem good for the company, if it's business is to be properly conducted. What will be the outcome of this ah- rogation of contract between the operators and railroad company re- mains to be seen. The agreement between the two parties called for thirty days notice before either side could break the contract. This notice the railroad officials have given

HO! FOR MALVERN.
THE ROAD AN EARLY PROBABILITY
MT. ". l.. Powell, of the Southwestern Construction Co, to Visit This City and Go Over the
 POposed Line,

For several days the GRAPHIC has been agitating the question of a rail- road from Pine Bluff via Sheridan to Malvern and Hot Springs, and few days ago we set forth the advantages of the proposed line to Pine Bluff, and especially to our wholesale trade, as we'll as to the other points along the proposed line. At that time we also set forth the opportu- mites offered by the road for profita- ble investment, and the comparative cheap cost of constructing the same. We were not advised then of any immediate movement looking to the early building of the road. but since that time we have eOmeintO possess ion of information which we believe to be reliable, but which we are not authorized to disclose, sufficient to warrant the statement that 1t is not at all unlikely that the road will be constructed and in operation by the first of next year.
 The distance from here to Malvern is only fourty-two miles, and a care ful estimate of the probable cost of theroad has been made and found to be only $450,000, including rolling stock and a depot at Malvern and Pine Bluff.
 This estimate, ds we'll as the ad- vantages offered by the road, have been presented to the Southwestern Construction Co.,, of Boston and Kansas City, with the result that the officials of that company have be- come so much interested in the pro- posed railway that next week they will send their President, Mir. W. L.. Powell, to this city to go over the proposed line and investigate the country between here and Malvern.
 Mir. Powell should be given a cor dial and hearty reception by our people, and made to feel and know that we are ready to extend the en- 
 every possible encouragement. No road in Arkansas. with the possible exception of the Diamond Joe line, offers a better field for profitable investment than the proposed Pine Bluff and Malvern road. It would pass through a fertile agricultural country, and would open up one of the richest timber districts in the South; in addition to which 1t would have the Cotton Belt as feeder for Hot Springs. That it would prove paying road does not admit of a doubt, and the comparative cheap cost with which itcan be built should insure it's early construction.
 We congratulate the people of Pine Bluff, as well as those along the pro- posed line, upon the encouraging prospects of the road.
