BLACKBURN'S CHANCES
Improved by the Election of A. J. Carroll, Democrat Over Charles Blatz, the
 Republican Candidate

Louisville, Ky, Dec. 7.-In the special election held in the Sixth and Seventh wards of Louisville today the Hon. A. J. Carroll, ex-speaker of the last house, de- feated Charles Blatz, republican, by a majority of 452. The majority is the normal majority of the district, though the republicans carried it in the Novem- Der election for governor. The reelection of MT. Carroll makes the general assem- ble tie on joint ballot, with sixty-eight democrats, sixty-eight republicans and two populists.
 One of these populists is pledged to vote for the republicans, who indorsed him, and the other with the democrats. There are still seven avowed candidates for the senate among the republicans, but 1t is regarded as certain that no one save w. Godfrey Hunter, republican in congress from the Third district, has any show. The defeat of Blatz may serve to throw a slight damper on the fnaugura- ton of Governor-Elect Bradley Tuesday. The republicans hoped at that time to be able to lay claim to the senatorship, but this cannot now be done until after the house is organized. The inauguration, however will be the most elaborate ever held in Kentucky. Special trains will be run from all parts of the state, and all people, irrespective of party, have united to make it a social function as we'll

KILLED IN NICARAGUA.
A Chicagoan Who Talked Too Freely About
 His Wealth


 New Orleans, Dec. 7-Confirmation of the assassination of Joseph Hissmaier, a German resident of the city of Chicago, in Matagalpa, Nicaragua, was secured to- day by Southern Associated Press re- porter from a gentleman who is en route to Nicaragua and who is perfectly fa- miliar with the circumstances attending the tragedy. A year ago Hissmaier came to Nicaragua, and often spoke of the money that he was possessed of. This ex- cited the cupidity of the natives around, and one night they set upon the Chicago an and literally made mince meat of the poor fellow with their machetes. There being no law calling for the infliction of capital punishment on the statute books of Nicaragua, and, as it Is the habit in all of the Central American republics only a loose administration of law, par ticularly where foreigners are concerned, a number of resident Americans, know ing the parties who had done poor Hiss maier to death, went to work. and, catch ing one of the ringleaders of the outrage. promptly lynched him. Half a dozen of these American regulators were arrested, but on trial were discharged. One of these gentlemen made no secret of his conn >tion with the lynching. There was A soI Of resolution made by the Nicara- guan officials to have the case reopened and the self-confessed regulator again put on trial Fearing that he might get into trouble over the second trial, this gentleman made his escape from that part of the country.
 The gentleman that gave the above facts to the reporter says that It IS re- markable that Minister Baker made no report of the case, as the facts or the assassination and the subsequent lynch ing were well known throughout the re- r,1bliC

 w. F. Aldrich says he is not candi- date for the nomination of the populist- republican combination, but if he should be he would certainly be elected.

 Hon. R. H. Clarke is the only missing member of the Alabama delegation. He is detained in Mobile in the Lavretta will case, but is expected in Washington in a day or so
 The Alabamians here connected with the house of representatives are waiting for the yellow envelope informing them that their services will be dispensed with on and after that date. There is no civil service humbuggery about the places in the gift of the house, although the mem- bers thereof have never had the hardi- hood to strike from the statute books the law which they themselves do not maintain right under their noses. To the victors belong the fruits of victory is the legend written above the door of the house, and with thirteen months notice of their ultimate discharge there is no room for kicking by the employees about to be displaced.
 There were four places to be given the minority of the house, and in the caucus of the democrats held on Monday last the south, which ought to have had at least three of the four places, received only one, and that went to Virginia.
 When it is remembered that there are only thirteen democrats in the house north of Mason and Dixon's line, it is sad commentary on the capacity of the average southerner to get patronage. Ohio, with two democratic members, got of 10 TloPpC Now York with five another, and California, with only one, the other.

sALIsBURY's NOTE DELIVERED.
The Usual Formality of Reading It Dis-
 pensed With.

Washington Dec. 7-At II o'clock to- day Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British ambassador, came to the state depart ment, bearing in one of the character istic blue envelopes, with the accom- panying red seal, which form the dis tinguished features of British diplomatic correspondence, Lord Salisbury's reply to Secretary Olney's note in regard to the proposed Venezuelan boundary argu- ment. The document was in print with the usual wide margin for notes and printed in the customary legible type pertaining to such communications. The British ambassador was saved the neces- sity of going through the formula of reading to Secretary Olney the exceed ingly lengthy and argumentative com munication of which he was made the official bearer. by perceiving that Secre- tary Olney himself had a duplicate in his hands, which had been transmitted to him by Ambassador Bayard by the same steamer as that which conveyed Sir Julian Pauncefote's missive, and which had consequently reached him last night.
 This naturally shortened the official ceremony. The presentation of the note barely occupied ten minutes; the reading of it would have consumed several hours. Sir Julian Pauncefote left the depart ment before 11.15 Secretary Olney him self shortly afterwards disappeared. and his confidential clerks declared with much emphasis for some hours after ward that the British ambassador had not been at the state department today and that the British note had not yet been received.

DEPARTMENT GOSSIP.
The Chinese Government Facilitating the Commission-A Riot Act Read to
 PostofRce Employees.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Reports received at the state department indicate that the Chinese government has done everything to facilitate the inquiry of the United States commission at Cheng Tu to inves- tigate the riots in the province of Szechuan in June last, and has made special efforts to impress the natives of the dignity and importance of the com missioners. No information that the commission has reached Cheng Tu has come to the department. but it is be- lieved that they have arrived there. The reports mentioned state that the com mission, consisting of Sheridan P. Read, United States consul at Tien Tsin; Com mander Merrill of the United States na- wy, and MT. Cheshire, an interpreter, started from Tien Tsin for Cheng Tu on October 6, accompanied by an escort of twenty Chinese soldiers, magnificent ly mounted and equipped. The Chinese government directed the provincial judge of Szechuan to cooperate with the com mission. This judge has the highest ju- dicial authority and his assignment is considered as further evidence of the good faith of the ,Pekin powers. The route taken was also with view to inn pressing the natives.
 Bids were opened at the treasury to- day for ventilating the New York post OlliCt iHS iIditOii COipdiy OL ton. S. C., at $7OOS, were the lowest bid ders.
 The postmaster-general issued the fol- lowing special order respecting all em- ployes:
 That hereafter no postmaster, postof- flee clerk, letter carrier, railway mail clerk or other postal employe, shall vis- it Washington, whether on leave, with or without pay for the purpose of inf1u- encing legislation before congress. Any such employe who violates this order is liable to removal Postmasters and oth- CT employees of the postal service are paid by the government to attend to the respective duties assigned them, which do not include efforts to secure legisa- tion. That duty is assigned to the rep resentatives of the people elected for that purpose. If bills are introduced in either branch of congress affecting the postal service upon which any informa- tion or recommendation is desired I am ready at all times to submit such as lies in my power and province.

states.
 Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 7.-Maryland has surpassed all other states. South Carolina excepted, in her representation at the exposition. The militia exceeds in num- Der the displays of any other two states combined, with the exception named. New York and Chicago days, brilliant as they were, are excelled by Baltimore and Maryland.

The line comprised the Fourth and Fifth regiments, Com pany B, First regiment, Captain Fisher commanding; First Naval battalion, Commander Emerson; the Gate City Guards of Atlanta, Brigadier-General Stewart. Col. Frank Marshal command ed the Fifth regiment and Col. William Howard the Fourth. The parade es- corted Governor Brown of Maryland and his staff The bands played Mary land" Dixie" and other southern airs, while thousands along the streets cheered the soldiers continuously. The day was bright and beautiful, a crisp wind blow ing from the west. Governor Brown re- viewed the column from the stand in front of the Pennsylvania building. Speeches were delivered in the Auditori- ,n. Governor Atkinson speaking for Georgia. His remarks were very short, but his welcome was cordial. Governor Brown responding. was received With long applause. Mayor Porter King spoke for Atlanta. expressing in a few words the pleasure of his fellow-citizens at the presence of the Marylanders. Mayor Hooper of Baltimore followed. Rev w. U. Murkland, orator of the day, spoke at considerable length and with fine effect. Daniel Miller, president of the Merchants and Manufacturers association of Bal tImore. made the closing address. The exercises at the Auditorium were fol- lowed by a reception of the militia and civilian visitors. The Marylanders left tonight at II o'clock for home.
