SEAMAN KILLED.
Didn't Understand a Spanish
Sentry's Command.
England Now Has a Grievance Which
Must Be Explained.

BALTIMORE. March Sat 2 O'Clock on
| the morning of March 10, Spanish sentries
murderously shot and killed seaman of
the British steamship Laurestina, and
badly wounded Cuban negro at St.
! Jago, Cuba The British government Is
investigating the matter and compllca-
tions between Great Britain and spain
may result.
The Laurestina arrived at this port yes
terday afternoon from 81. Iago, and her
officers denounced the shooting as murder.
They stated that the seaman was John
Lowe, aged 80, resident OF Leeds, who
had shipped at Cardiff On the night of
March Is, the crew went ashore for a
stroll and walked up from where the yes-
sci was lying to the town of st. Jago, a
short distance away. The boatswain,
Lowe and another seaman were Of the
party and after walk about the town,
started TO return TO the ship.
Language Was UnlnteIiigible.
When nearly there, Lowe determined 20
return TO the town, and started back in
company with Cuban negro. En- route
they had to pass Cuban fort garrisoned
by Spanish troops. Suddenly sentinel
sprang out of the darkness rs they neared
the fort, and In Spanish commanded them
to halt
Lowe did not understand tho command
and started To hurry away. The next in
stant tho sentinel raised his musket and
fired. Lowe dropped to his knees and
rolled over corpse. The negro then
started to run, when he, too, was shot and
mortally wounded.
The dead man and the wounded negro
were carried inside the fort. AT daybreak
Captain Gavin of the Laurestina went TO
the fort and demanded the body of the
man. The demand was refused and he
has made formal complaint TO the British
government. An investigation Is TO be
made.
Complaint Goes to England.
WAsHINGToN March 2S Ambassador
Pauncofote has received no news as To the
killing OF Seaman Lowe of the Laures-
tina by the Spanish soldiers at st. Jago
After reading the account Of tho matter
given by the officers of the ship, he said;
''Shis is evidently very outrageous
case, and will, of course, be promptly in
vestigated. IL is not a matter that would
come TO this Office at all, however, the
complaint being made directly To Eng.
land. No doubt the captain OF the ship
will make a deposition as TO the facts be-
fore the British consul Captain Seagrove,
at Baltimore. and the latter will forward
1t to England. l am glad to have had my
attention called TO II, as I can make cer-
tain that all the evidence Is taken"

This statement Ia made in face OF
the established face that the East Is the
grave of silver. and while the demaha
continues from year 10 year. no silver
eyers comes back from those countries.
England is now vainly attempting 70
force the gold standard on India by the
bayonet, and the best financiers regard
the effort as desperate.
Il. may as we'll be understood al
once that all this clap trap and mis- !,
statement will not divert y majority OF
the people FROM stern and unylelding
opposition to the single gold standard
1t is the old fght-old as our race
between the masses and those VINO
attempt TO use governmental power fof
self aggrandizement. We are making
the same fight that our fathers made
when led by Jefferson and Jackson, and
we will bequeath it to our children.
This country. situated between the
gold countries of Europe and the silver
using East, has now the great oppor-
tunity of becoming the commercial and
financial mistress Of the world. BY
maintaining both gold and silver as
standard money we can trade with all
countries in the money they may choose
as a medium of exchange. With silver
demonetized and gold as the single
standard. we are the financial serfs OF
England.

Poor, wandering ghost of once

Carlisle and Hon. w. j. Bryan stood
squarely together on the money ques-
ton. Up to the very hour that Mr..
Carlisle went into Mr.. Cleveland s
cabinet he had never uttered word or
written line to signify that his well
known views on the silver question had
undergone change. In 1890 he had
written letters declaring his devotion to
the free and unlimited coinage Of silver
and had written them for the express
purpose of assuring men with Populist
tendencies that they could get free silver
coinage in the Democratic party. That
was his position when he accepted Office
under Mr.. Cleveland. Since then-but

The Way of the Transgressor.

CoRsIoANA. Tex. July Last eve
ming W. E. Wake arrived in the city
and registered at the Matthew House,
giving his residence as Longview, Tex.
Early this morning he went to the depot
and met lady. The two returned to
the hotel and went directly to Wake S
room. No sooner were they there than
two men were noticed climbing the
stairway to the third story, on which
floor was Wakes room. Wake had
engaged room No. 10 near the head Of
the stairway. and the men had only a
few steps to take and they were in the
doorway. Then the scream of woman
was heard, followed by the rapid firing
of pistols. Wakes dead body was
found on the floor pierced by seven
bullets. Two entered the breast near
the nipple and passed through the back
of the head, one through the right
breast, one through the thigh and
another through the right side of the
abdomen.
The lady with Wake proved to be
Hattie Faulkner, of Groesbeck, and
wife of J. d. Faulkner of that place.
The men who did the shooting were the
father and brother of Mrs. Faulkner.
They had came in ON the same train
with Faulkner.
After the shooting the father and son
walked out of the hotel into the street
and gave themselves up to Policeman
Nut. Wake is herse trainer and was
| we'll known here among horsemen.

AS it will require 224 votes to elect it
will be discovered by the simple process
of addition and subtraction that if the
gold men carry every state east of the
Mississippi and north of the Ohio they
will secure only 2i4 votes, M ten less than
necessary to a choice. The Journal
finds that wholly apart from past
political affiliations there are forty three
votes that will certainly be cast for free
silver, viz: California, Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Colorado
and Utah, and then proceeds to say:
Every one of these states is Republi-
can, and we can add to them Kansas
and Nebraska, eighteen more-or in all
sixty one electoral votes which an anti
silver or doubtful silver candidate can
no more carry than he could the moon.
Stubborn self opinioned people can
gabble and gobble as much as they
please-there the states stand. And
they are all Republican states. To
nominate candidate in opposition to
the practical unanimous sentiment of
their people is to commit political
harikari-and practical politicians, and
particularly Republican politicians,
don t do that sort of thing The
journal, it must be remembered, is a
Republican journal that believes the
Republican party will surely lose the
election next year if it refuses to adopt
a silver platform. People who have
any leisure time can take the tables
given and figure from them according to
their pleasure, and ambitious politicians
who are given to reading signs will find
much food for thought in them.

Congressman Terry breaches the Doc.
frine.

To the Editor of the Little Rock Press
The editor of the johnson County
Herald in its issue of June 81, in at
tempting to bolster up the remarkable
statement of the Arkansas Democrat,
that the Populists ORIGINATED the de-
mand for free coinage, says:
1t may be true, as Senator Morgan says in his
letter to the Memphis convention, that he
democratic element in congress have been boil
ing over with the free coinage sentiment Tor the
last twenty years. but at the same time 1t Is very
strange that the people did not notice any Of the
ebulitiOn until after the meeting of the Omaha
convention.
Now, in order to show our clever
friend of the Herald that there was some
''ebullition going on among demo-
Gratis in favor of free silver at the old
ratio of 10 to long BEFORE 1.-THE meet
ing of the Omaha convention, would
call his attention to the record of his
party (Democratic) in the second session
of the forty fourth congress in the vote
upon house resolution 4189: IA bill
authorizing the coinage Of the standard
silver dollar, and restoring its legal
tender character. One hundred and
twenty four Democrats voted in favor
of it, and only II against it. (See Con-
gressional Record, pages 143 and IA. }
In the senate twenty five democrats
voted in favor of it and only seven
against. (See Congressional Record,
February 1878, page 2O9.)
Again on June 7, 1890, in the fifty
first congress, on the question of direct
ing the report of the bill in favor Of free
coinage at 16 to 101 Democrats voted
in favor Of it and only thirteen against
it. 1t may be that some of our gold
standard editors have FORGOTTEN about
these things, but the Democratic masses
of Arkansas know that the great ma
jority of their party have been battling
for free coinage of silver in the halls o1
congress for many years before the Pop.
ulists were ever dreamed of; and con
gress was the place where the fight had
to be made.

recent silver convention in this city.
number of prominent Democrats VINO
attended that gathering held a meeting
and plans were outlined for an organiz-
alton of free silver men within the
Democratic party for the purpose OF
carving on the silver campaign within
marty lines. As result OF this meeting
the following address has been sent 70
Democratic leaders throughout the
country:
ssSoon after the adjournment OF the
silver convention held in this city on
the 18th and 18th inst. many Demo
Gratis, representing several States OF the
Union, held meeting here for the
purpose of considering the best metnod
of securing the free and unlimited com
age of both silver and gold into fuii
legal tender money of ultimate redemp
ton at the ratio of Is to |, without
regard to the financial policy OF other
countries, and it was unanimously
agreed as the confident opinion OF that
conference:
.First-That the only hope of secur.
ing the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver at 16 to is through the action OF
the Democratic party.
'second-That large majority of
the Democratic party of the country and
a very large majority of the people OF
the United States. irrespective Of party.
favor such cOinsge-
.Third-Thas 1as success of the
Democratic party IN the campaign OF
1896 largely, if not wholly. depends on
the earnest and active advocacy OF the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver.
'Fourth-That thorough organiza.
ton of the Democrats of the several
States, who favor the free and unlimited
coinage of both silver and gold on terms
of equality at 10 to 1 is necessary and
proper means of controlling the action
of the National Democratic Convention
of 1895 upon this vital important
question.
'Fifth-That in order to avoid
friction and the complaint of such
Democrats as oppose the free coinage of
silver we will not invoke the action of
the regular machinery of the party.
whose duty it is to act for the whole
party without regard to differences of
opinion upon single question.
therefore, VIC, tic uuutTsiSutu,
were appointed committee to take
such steps as may be necessary to a
thorough national organization of Silver
Democrats, and for that purpose we
respectfully invite you to meet US at
Washington, D. c. on the 14th day of
August. 1895, in order that we may
confer and coz operate in establishing
such organization, and you are requested
to bring with you such Democratic
friends as are in full sympathy with
this purpose. It is important that a
Democrat acceptable to the Democracy
of your state, and willing to represent
it on National Executive Committee.

And what is the difference between
slumber and sleepY' We shall not un-
dertake to explain these terms further
than to say that the silver convention
probably thought that it couldn' i'm
prove upon the grammar of the consti-
tuition and the language of the Almighty

Command Higher Prices In st. Louis
than Any Other.
Trnm fhe Little Rnck (nzeite.

From the Little Rock Gazette:
During the present season persons who
have noticed the matter have been much
gratified to see that Arkansas potatoes
bring a higher price in st. Louis than
any other potatoes, and are in greater
demand. For instance, one day last
week Arkansas Triumph potatoes
sold at IS to Soc per bushel in sacks.
The next highest priced potatoes were
Tennessee Triumph. On tlyst day
twelve car loads of Arkansas potatoes
were sold, which amount equaled all
other sales.
1t costs 25 cents per hundred pounds
to ship the potatoes from this State to
st. Louis, SO it will be seen that they
bring the growers good price.
