Louisville. KY. Aug. 24.-The meeting OF the
Democratic State CentraI Committee to-day was
fiasco and has left the party in worse muddle
than ever General Hardin made long and
vigorous speech. defending his position on the
financial question and refusing to recede onel
iota from the stand he has taken regarding fiat
money. He contended tn L he IL standing on the
platform; that his party j, Kentucky is commit
ted to free silver, and the State Convention knew
his views when 1t nominated him. He would
not therefore, withdraw from the contest under
any circumstances. His speech was a long and
bitter one against the Carlisle faction. strongly

fully sound money Democrats local and Ma

might be on the currency question.

THE REFUSAL TO SALUTE
THE TRICoLoR.
WASHINGTON Aug. 24-The failure OF Com
n,ander Thomas Perry. of the United States gun
host Castine to salute the French flag at Tama-
taye Madagascar. was acceatuated by subse-
ouent incident OF n somewhat sensational char
acter knowledge Of which became public to-day
IN a statement given oat at the Navy Depart
rent. The true story Of the salute incident was
stven in a report received by the Department
some time ago In the report Commander Perry
says that he did not salute the tricolor because
q, the naval regulations which do not require
.alu,e TO vessels Of one country in the ports OF
another and Of the treaty with Madagascar. by
,,ch the United States recognized the Hova
Government as controlling the entire island. AS
there was no representative of the native Gov
.rnmen, on shore at Tamatave. he could not
salute the Hovas' authority. and hence fired no
salute whatever
conmander Perry also tells OF misunderstand-
Inc between the French authorities on shore and
officers of the Castine AS to granting prauque,
~ formal permission to en.er the port. When
tho first boat from tn. Castine landed, the
French military authorities attempted to prevent
fhe officers from approaching or speaking to Mr.
Wetter the United states Consul. and his party.
on the ground that "pratique" had not been
even. Commander Perry saws. however. that
"pratique" had been granted earlier in the day.
The French officers were greatly excited and or
dered all the Americans back to their boat. one
OF them showing Paymaster Dent toward II ana
calling on the gendarmes to drive off the Amer
leans as intruders
The excitement among the FTenchmen was IN
tense. and what might nave been serious trou-
bic according 10 Commander Perry was aVerted
orHy by the coolness and Judgment displayed py
Ens!gn George r. Evans and paymaster Dent.
Ample and full apologies to the officers OF the
Castine and TO the Government OF the United
States were promptly demanded by Commando
Merry and the French representatives al rama
Nave came on board the gunboat the next daS
vnd made full and unreserVed apologies for their

to Consul Wetter was offered ana accepted oy

THINKS HERSELF DEAD.
Strange Case of Mrs. Agnes Potter of San
Francisco.

Strange Case of Mrs. Agnes Potter of San
Francisco.
The case of Mrs. Potter is a very peculiar
one, and is pulling some of the ply
sicians. Some time ago she was taken ill,
and II was many months before she was
able to move around. Up to that time she
had lived very happy life with her hus-
band. They had been married nearly 40
years and had made their fortune together
After the sickness Mrs. Potter was a
changed woman. She believes that during
her sickness she died and that her spirit
entered another body.
Now she goes around believing that the
real Mrs. Potter Is dead and that she is
only counterfeit. Under these condi-
tons, she declines TO live with her rich
husband, although she consents TO remain
in the same house. Mrs. Potter, when
spoken to, appears 10 talk in a very intel
hgent manner. Her weak point, however,
is on the subject OF her death. The case is
an exceedingly peculiar one, and no treat
ment to which the physicians have submit
ted her seems TO relieve the woman of the
strange impression that has cast such
cloud on her life.
She can be persuaded in all other mat
tiers, but no ere can make her believe that
Mrs. Potter is not dead and that she is not
somebody else The capitalist is willing TO
give up hair of his fortune to have his wife
restored 10 her old condition of health. 1t
seems, however. that the physicians can do
nothing for her, ard she must live on in
her own estimation as somebody eise.-San

will be controlled by the international
committee of the Christian association
All the branches in the country will be
forced 10 become members of the assOcia.
ton, SO that the body viii be as strong il
not stronger than the present Amateur
Athletic union.
A very important rule of the new organ
izatiOn is that competitors must be mem
bers Of the Y. n. G. A. to be eligible tc
compete under the auspices Of the Y NJ
c. A. Athletic League of North America.
This makes it imperative for members to
sever active connections with other athletic
associations if they wish to compete in Y.
NJ. c. 4. contests. 1t is patent fact that
the Amateur union ranks at the present
time have many recruits from the Chris
tian associations, and as these branches
outnumber the athletic organizations OF
this country it is more than likely that the
new league will prove prominent factor
in future sports. Thousands of young
men, ranging from IA to 90 years of age,
will be taught the Y NJ O. a. system OF
training as the true system.
A prominent leader in Y. NJ. G. A. ath.
letics outlines the campaign of the new
league as follows:
This association has been formed fol
the express purpose of doing away with
the old system Of athletics in vogue at the
present time. We do not believe in advo-
eating specialties in athletics. This is en-.
tirely against the teaching of the Y. M. G.
A, and it is bad for the physical health OF
our members Our idea is to develop q
man all around, in running as well as in
jumping, in walking as well as In weight
throwing. To quote from the constitution
of the league, its object is the cultivation
of all around manhood among members Of
the Y, NJ. c. A, the governing of uniform
department tests and the awarding of the
association championship.
AS the A. A. L. is divided into districts
the Y. NJ. G. A. win be divided into Sec
lions. A governing board will look after
the interests of the various sections. In
the latter respect the association has fol-
lowed the mode Of the A. A. L. The con-
stitution places the entrance fee for a
branch at $40. Only amateurs can com
pete in the games An amateur is defined
as follows: One who has never competed
for or received money or valuable prizes in
connection with any branch OF sport, and
who is not an employee of branch. Dis
trict and championship meetings will be
held annually.
This action on the part of Y. II. G. A.
officials may precipitate a bigger athletic
war than that which exploded the \. a. /
A. A. a. some years ago. The a. A. Z. !
claims jurisdiction over all amateur ath- !
letics in the United States. 1t did not in ]
terfere with strictly Y. NJ. c. A. contests !
until last season, when a ulzase was issued !
obliging Y. N. c. A. promoters of any |
games in which more than one club figured |
TO register and have their date and pro-
gramme sanctioned. The storm has been |
brewing since, but a crisis may be evaded |
by the fact that the Y. NJ. G. A. advocates
general physical culture, while the other
body offers inducements for proficiency in
each eyent.-New York Sun.
