TOPEKA, June 24.-Captain H. +.
Hatch, who was appointed superintend.
ent Of the Hutchinson reformatory,
which is to be opened July 1, will prob.
ally be dismissed before the institution
is ready for business, as he has had
serious misunderstanding with the
board Of directors, which today in.
formed Governor Morrill, that it in
tended to discharge him. Hatch was
for years warden of the state peniten-

to his efforts that the radical prison re-
form laws were enacted by the Kansas
legislature last winter, and that the re-
formatOry, which was begun number Of
years ago and abandoned, was ordered
completed. The directors allege that
he has been guilty Of INSTRUMENTATION,

LOUISVILLE, June 26.-The admins

the morning and into the convention at
noon with confidence. In the district

complexion Of this committee could not
have been changed by the appointment
Of both members at large from the sill,
Verites, But when Judge W. NJ.
Beckner, as temporary chairman, di.
vided the members at large, giving one
of the two to each side, the silver men
felt that they had been outclassed al

Silverites Claimed Victory
They claimed o victory in the election

former divided the appointments equal.

mis- conservative views, 10 claims were
made on him. Stone would have ap.
pointed only 'sOund money" men on

Sound money" man, but favored Gen.
eral Hardin for governor. Although
General Hardin favors free coinage, he
has been supported throughout by
many who insist on a sound money
platform. The silver men on the COM

Augustus Coulter; Second district, W.

mittee On resolutions by Professor
Arthur Yeager, a man of pronounced
gold standard views, but who has de-
voted his time to college work and not
to politics. Senator Blackburn aspired
to the Craftsmanship of this committee
and expected to have a majority of its
members with him for free coinage and
against Cleveland and Carlisle. When
BLACK burn was defeated in the Seventh
district, it was ascertained that the
Hardin men did not want to be EN-.
barraSsed by his appointment of the
members at large and Mr.. W. T. Ellis
Of the second district offered Senator
Blackburn his proxy. Objections were
raised in the convention on the an
nouncement Of Blackburns name for
the committee from the Second district
and no further efforts in that direction
were made.

NTadrld Press stlrred ~

MADRID, June 23.-The Madrid press
is publishing infammatory statements
as to the reported demand of the United
States for the settlement of the Mora
claim. The impression apparently is
that Havana is to be seized and held
unless the Mora claim is paid. The
Madrid newspapers say editOrially that
President Cleveland's recent proclama-
ton against Cuban filibustering in the
United States was to be followed by
payment Of the Spanish government Of
the Mora claim. The papers take the
position that under this understanding
the United States authorities will not
exert themselves to carry out the presi-
dents proclamation by suspension Of
fihbustering until Spain has actually
paid the claim. There is silence on the
subject in government circles, and the
excited statements of the Madrid press
are not credited among officials.
