AUSTIN, Tex, Oct. IA well known
sporting man in the city says that there
Is but one place on the American CONT

New Laredo, Mex. He says that mas

the initiative in the matter Of excluding
tie fighters from this state that other
governors will necessarily follow suit
He adds that some three weeks ago the
Florida Athletic club signed papers
to have the fight in the bull ring
at New Laredo, and up to this hour
they have not asked for release from
their contract, which certainly goes to
prove that all along the line the fight

CHICAGO April 2i-After one of the
most exciting meetings in its history the
1roquois club last night repudiated the
Democratic national platform of 1892 the
state Democratic platform of 1874 and
adopted single gold standard resolution.
LEXINGTON, Ky, April 24.-The most
radical stand taken by political party
on the currency question is that adopted
by the Republicans of Woodford county,
the home of Senator Blackburn, in reply
TO his announcement that he was free
silver l6-to-1 man. The resolutions
adopted seem also to be a response to Sec
retary Morton's declaratiol that "the
time for straddling has gone by" for they
are written in the plainest language and
leave no doubt of the sentiments of the
Woodford county Republicans. 1t is be-
cause they are SO plain and SO radical that
they are of interest az this time. when
such declarations are generally on the

t;ons:

currency is one of the chief supports of

the higher place and is the only possible

THE CHARGE AGAINST WALLER.
Said to Have Advised the Hovas Of French
Movements.


WASHINGTON, April 25.-The Waller
case is getting interesting. because the
French charges are beginning TO be I'M
derstood. As they have to do entirely
with information given, as alleged, by
Waller to the Hovas as to French move
ments, the case brings into the front first
thing the question Of how far Uncle sam
recognizes the right of the French to
supervise things in Madagascar. A tele-
gram from Paris says The Soi- states that
Waller acted as the medium between the
Hoyas aud the English for the conveyance
OF orders for munitions and arms. When
France declared war against the Hovas
Waller, according to The Soir, acted as a
spy at Nojunga, and by means OF waving
of colored lanterns at night advised the
Hovas of movements of the French. This
once nearly resulted in 60o French troops
falling into the hands of the enemy.
Another telegram from Paris says that
the evidence against Waller was that he

WASHINGTON, April 2i. The Nicar-
aguan minister here has received a cable
gram from his government announcing
the arrival at Corinro, Nicaragua. of two
British wnrships with the expressed pur-
pose Of enforcing the demands contained
in the British ultimatum. Just how this
i to be done the minister was not informed.
The Indications now are that Nicaragua
will offer 4 passive rcsistancs 10 the Brit

tleanwhile the United Safes will do
nothing but await the Development OF

Chairman Hinrichsen.
SPRINGFIELD April II Chairman Hin
richsen, of the Democratic state central
committee, gave out last evening per-
sonal letter received from Judge An
drew J. Hunter of Paris, Ills, in relation
to the coming state convention. The let
ter is very lengthy, deals with the con-
troversy which has been going on since
the call for the convention was issued
and expresses qualification at the prompt
action taken by the committee to secure,
IL possible. ''such harmony in the party
as will enable il TO redeem the state aud
save the party from the great dangers
that now threaten its existence.
Judge Hunter says the party is badly
divided owing to the refusal of the ad-
ministration. senate. and house to carry
out the Chicago platform, all their acts
being to make gold alone the standard
and repudiatc silver in every conceivable
manner THE acts of the administra-
ton says he. '.feil like blight and mil
dew upon the hopes Of the party, leaving
nothing bat defeat and disintegration as
a monument"

the only safe course left open to honest,
/ faithful servants of the party-to 60 to
the people with these complications, &c,
them speak, and when thei- voice is
heard let it be final. If there are men in
the party not willing to obey the COM
mand OF the people it is time for them tc
learn thai the Democracy is not play
