Attorney General Maynard holds that
the act Incorporating cities of the fourth
class does not disfranchise women at school
elections. He is clearly of the opinion that
women who are duly qualified under the
general school law can continue to vote and
hold Office as heretofore.

The republican national committee at Its
meeting in Washington, Tuesday, decided
to hold the national convention at st. Louis

was lively one, requiring five ballots to
reach result. San Francisco led with 20
votes, st. Louis IS, Pittsburg 9, Chicago 8,
New York 1. The final vote gave st. Louis
30, San Francisco 10. Chicago 6. The date
makes plain the fact that the republican no.

HORR's TILT WITH HARVEY.
Harvey Gives Alleged Reasons on
which the Debate Rests.


Chicago. July 2S.-No evidence of fatigue
or lack of breath were apparent in either
of the principals in the Horr- Harvey de-
bate when time was called for the sixth
round to-day. Mr.. Harvey led with a vim
dication of the importance Of the debate
which he said rested upon five historical
reasons.
First, for two hundred years prior to the
demonetization Of silver in 1873, silver was
seeking the mints Of the world for coinage
into money.
Second. for two hundred years prior to
1873 there was no variation between the
commercial and the legal ratio of fifteen
and a half to one. During the p years since
1873, however. the two ratios had separated
widely and had gone from l5ss to l to
about 81 to l.
Third. for S3s years prior to 1873 the guam
tity ratio between silver and gold ranged
from Sc of silver to one Of gold to four of
silver to one Of gold. Notwithstanding this
wide variation the commercial ratio had
clung tenaciously to the legal ratio.
Fourth. the price of silver in the Lon
don market as measured in gold up to 1873
was practically steady. while, since that
date silver had declined from sixty pence
per ounce to 2S.7 pence per ounce.
Fifth, that this violent fuctuation from
the price Of silver has been going on since
its demonetization and is going on to-day
Mr.. Horr did not reply directly 10 his
opponent. but took up Mr.. Harvey's state
ment of yesterday that but one error had
been found in his work saying that there
were myriads of mis-statements not in
express statements Of facts, but by false
implication which any man of sense would
repudiate on sight. At this point Mr. Horr
created some derision at the expense Of
Mr.. Harvey by saying that he did not deny
that his opponent believed all he had writ
ten. AS a matter Of fact II was impossible
for him TO tell what a man inAIr Harveys
state of mind might be capable of believ-
ing. The statement In Coins Financial
School that every ounce Of silver produced
up to the present time had cost the pro-
ducers " an ounce was secuted by Mr.
Horr. If the mine owners had been pro-
ducing silver at this cost and selling II as
they had been doing at from Sl.2O to o.
cents an ounce they had lost by the trans
action during the past three years some
$236, ,OO0O 600
The next point Of attack was the state
ment on page So OF Harvey's book that the
people of this country are annually paying
10 England SzO,VOVVOO IN interest on nation
al and private bonds. Mr. Horr denied this
proposition fatty, and challenged any one
10 produce evidence that the indebtedness
of the people of this country to all the ma
tions of Europe involved anything like
such an amount OF interest
Mr. Harvey then took his opponent to
task for skipping about the book to find
substances for his remarks instead of con-
lining himself to the regular order of pro-
ceedings as agreed upon, and said that
he would not be diverted from his origi-
nal plan by such tactics.

JACKSON's FAMILY FEUD.
Excitement Revived by a story That
Three More Had Been Killed.

jackson. Miss, July 3.-Great excite
ment was created here to-day on a report
that the McRee-Terren feud had broken
out afresh and that three more men had
been killed.
Sheriff Harding went down this morn
ing IN answer to telegram stating that
trouble was apprehended and all sorts of
rumors were ahoat. The representative
or the Southern Associated Press wired
Learned for particulars and learned that
the only ground for the rumor was that
Section Boss Phillips of the Little j"
had shot and killed a negro named Isaac
Campbell. The excitement was further
augmented by the fact that a Jackson
hardware dealer received an order for ten
pounds OF buckshot and six boxes of Win
chester cartridges to be shipped to Learn
Ell by first train. There are about twenty
hve men on each side of the McRee-Ter-
reil feud, and 1t is confidently expected
that more blood is going TO be shed before
the trouble ends, as the heads of the fam
mes are desperate characters. The feud
Is OF eight years standing, during which
nghts have been frequent and killings oc-
casional.

Two More Victories for the Regu-
Iars-CampOs Not wounded.
Havana, July 2S.-A dispatch from Rem
edios reports that Col Yzquierdo with his
command has had another battle with the
band of the rebel leader, zayasa, which
was again dispersed. Col. Yzquierdo's
troops closely pursued the main body of
the insurgents for some distance. Col
Yzquierdo has also routed an insurgent
band under the rebel chief Suarez. and is
marching to Camajuani.
1t IS reported at Santa de Cuba that
Gen. Lechambre is at Veguita with 1900
troops.
Gen. Martinez Campos is al Bayamo in
good health. The reports of his having
been wounded are untrue.
Key West. Fla, July 23-United States
District Attorney Clark arrived by the
steamer Mascotte to-day to take charge
of the case against the steam tug George
w. Childs. A fine Of 81 900 was imposed
on the Childs by the collector of customs
for failure to submit a passenger manifest
upon entering from jamaica, IL having
been reported to the collector that she had
been engaged in carrying passengers The
proof is conclusive that the Childs has en-
gagged in flibustering. The revenue cut
ter McLane returned to this city to-day
from Pine Key, where she was sent by
Collector Browne to search for arms,
etc. She reports finding large quanti-
ties of beans, rice vermicelH, bread aud
ether provisions in a small house on the
key which bore evidence of having been
recently occupied by a number of peo-
pie. A number of Cubans came to the
city from the keys yesterday. 1t is sup
posed that hey had been camped a Pine
Key waiting for the Childs TO take them
off and when she was seized by Col
lector Browne. word was sent them by
the Cuban managers here TO return as
the expedition had been broken up. There
is no doubt that Collector Brownies prompt
action in selling the Childs on Sunday
prevented her from taking an expedition
to Cuba

Gov budd stirs Up the Foreigners
at san Francisco.
San Francisco, Cal, July 2s.-The pub
hcation of Gov. Budd's proposed procIa-
nation regarding semi-mllitary organiza-
uons bearing arms, has caused a tumult
among the foreign societies, who have
arms in their quarters and have been in
the habit of drilling upon state occasions.
The officers of the French military So
cieties are particularly demonstrative in
their talk. Their basis is that there can
be no French society without the French
flag"
Under no circumstances could the flag
be carried with arms" President V. Fe-
lizett of the Swiss Sharpshooters, said:
I'VE will give up our arms sooner than
our flag. l believe that if we turn out
with both flags no one can prevent US
and the law to the contrary is, in my opin-
ion, unconstitutional. We will probably
test 1t too"
The intended proclamation is stirring up
a tumult which will probably end in the
United States courts.

The White Metal Democrats TO Hold
"A State Convention.

st. Louis, July 2a.-Despite the opposi-
tion that met them at every step in agita-
ting for state convention, the free sill
yer wing of the democracy have tri-
umphed at every point. The state con-
vention will be held at Pertle Springs on
Aug. 6. After the call for the conven-
tion was issued by the state committee
the sound money democrats raised the
point that the convention would be a mass
meeting and could not bind the party, as
no county conventions to choose dele
gates could be held for lack of time This
hint was accepted by the silver men and
conventions were called in every county
in the state to choose delegates. A num-
Der have already been held The silver
men claim that the convention, which is
certain to declare for free silver will be
regular.
The sound money democrats are di-
vided. Some favor delay at every step,
while others favor an early convention,
believing that the silver men will thus
expend their enthusiasm and the sooner
return to what they term orthodox prin-
ciDles.
