janitor, w. p. Preston, were hemmed in
by smoke and fire on the second floor
and made their escape by ladders placed
Their by the firement.

forty people, but they all got out with

The people of this city and district
are so much calmer that the civil guards
have been withdrawn from the United

are now detailed for its protection from

Not only were the manifestations of
students Quilted by the discharge OF the
guards, put it is understood that orders
have been given to fire with ball if such
a demonstration is repeated. In fact,
religious professions, with the crucifix
borne aloft and priests PRAYING for rain,
have taken the place Of political dem

known before. In Catalonia it has
caused immense damage to agricultural

Another noteworthy fact is that in
this prosperous community a strong
sentiment has lately developed admit

autonomy for the island.

ference of some twenty-five free silver
Democrats, representing various sec
tons of the state. A permanent state
organization was effected, with Charles

and George p. Hummer. secretary.
The conference also appointed an ex-
ecutiye committee and a state central
committee, consisting of one member
from each congressional district, with
authority TO appoint subcommittee,
and TO thoroughly organize the state.
1T declared that three-fourths of the
Michigan Democrats favored free silver

THEY ARE GROWERS
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA DEMO
CRATIC CONVENTION.

Six Delegates to the Chicago Convention
are Chosen on a Combine by Interests
Whose Opponents Charge UnfrIendIi-
ness to the President and Friendliness
10 Free silver-Government's Venezue-
Ian Attitude Endorsed and the Cuban
Resolutions as WeII-A. p. A. Denounced
in MISUNDERSTANDING Language.
Washington, March 12.-The district
Democracy held its convention today to
choose delegates to the national con-
vention at Chicago. a combine
slate was fixed up embracing delegates
from the several sections of the city
and despite many vigorous efforts to
break it, it went through with the ex-
ception of Edwin Forest, who was beat
en- by George Killen by three votes.
The delegates to Chicago are Robert
Z. Mattingly, Frank P. Morgan, John
Boyle, William A. Holemade, George
Millen and Z. j. Jordan. During the
fight against the combine frequent di-
rect charges were made that its mem
bers were hostile TO the administration
and were in favor Of free silver but
they stated that in conducting their
campaign they would do so committing
themselves save in the general endorse
ment given the administration in the
platform adopted today.
The platform Endorsed the admins
tration of Grover Cleveland. particul-
arly the bold stand taken on the Vene-
Zuelan question, the enunciation of the
Monroe doctrine being declared a cor
rect Interpretation Of true American
ism; expressed sympathy for those en-
gagged in the battle for freedom in the
island of Cuba, and cordially indorsed
the expression of that sympathy con-
tanned in the joint resolution of the
senate and house.
The plank contained in the Demo
cratic national platform of 1856, and
directed against the Know Nothing
party Of that day was put in the reso-
lutlons. This declared that a political
crusade in the nineteenth century
against Catholic and foreign-born cfti-
zens is contrary to the genius of our
institutions and cannot be too severely
condemned
There was a significant absence in
the platform of any expression on the
silver question. The A P. A. plank
was not vigorous enough for Mr. Den
mis- Callaghan, and he made a Vigorous
but unsuccessful fight TO have substi-
tufed for it a set Of resolutions de-
nouncing the 4. p. a. in the bitterest
language. The endorsement Of the ad-
mInistration was received with mingled
cheers and Kisses and evoked a hot an
u-CIeVeland speech from ex-COngress-
man Turner, who has been practising
law since his retirement from active
PARTICIPATION in TammanY hall affairs
