Kentucky Republic nism.

louisville, Ky. - Especial. - The
state republican convention for the
purpose Of electing delegates to the
Louis convention adopted platform
containing the following financial
plank.
ave are opposed to the free and un-
limited coinage of silver believing that
it would involve the country in finan-
cial ruin. The gold dollar Is the best
dollar aid least liable to fluctuations
and for these reasons and in order to
conform our standard to that of other
great commercial nations, we favor 1t
as the standard money Of the United
States and the maintaining on aparity
with it of every other dollar, whether
Of silver or paper.

New ORLEANS. [Special.l The
latest returns cause the Foster demo-
Gratis to claim they have carried the
state by from 10000 to 25,0D major
ity, although Pharr's managers In this
city claim the state by q small major
ity.
The great democratic loss from TO-
GOO majority in 1892 to q small major
ity, even II they are not defeated in
the state, is attributed largely to or
ganization Of the national republican
party by the sugar planters and the
combination entered into between all
the republicans and populists. In
1892 the democrats polled 10000 more
votes than their opponents in this
city, while in yesterdays election
their majority will not exceed 1900
for governor.
Congressman Buck, who was the
regular democratic candidate for
mayor, takes his defeat philosophic-
ally, and says it was the strong senti-
ment against the old city ring that
carried the day for the citizens

BATTLE WITH BLACKS.
4 soRTlE PROVED 4 FAILURE.
Many Troops Sick With La
Grippe Not Time for d
Visits.

CAPrTowN. Especial. Telegraphit
communication with Buluwayo was 10
opened for q time followed by another
break. It is thought, however, to b
only temporary. While the wires
were up news was received that the
British had made q sortie In force, en-.
countered q large number of Mata-
beles, inflicted heavy loss on them
and suffered In return.
The official version says that q
force Of three hundred troops with
one maxim rapid flregun and . Hotch-
kiss quick fire gun mustered outside
the defenses Of Buluwayo for dash
at the enemy's line.
Contrary to custom the Matabeles
had thrown out pockets who gave the
alarm and aroused the Matabeles
resting behind their stone top earth
work. The rapid fire guns In the
meantime were sent to the rear to
avert danger of their capture. Grad
ually the MatAbeles pressed forward
BY sheer force Of numbers and almost
surrounded the British who, to avoid
being encirCled, retreated fighting
foot by foot. Eventually they were
hard pressed. They were at one time
in danger Of annihilation and finally
compelled to retreat.
Reports place the number of Mata-
beles killed at between 400 and 1000.
The British lost many killed and
wounded. In brief the soatie was q
failure and defeat for the British and
what is worse under the circumstances
the expenditure of much Of the small
stock Of ammunition remaining at
Buluwayo. The Matabeles are be-
lieved to be flushed with victory. It
Is said both the Hotchkiss and Maxim
rapid fire guns worked badly.

IOWA POPULIsTs.

They Favor An AmaIgamation OF All Re-
formers-Frisndly to Boies
DEs MoINEs-[Special. The popu-
list state convention was one of the
largest in the history of the party in
Iowa. Chairman Taubeneck of the ma
tional party, and Gen. Coxey of Ohio
and Gen. Weaver of Iowa led the in
terest Of the day. and no doubt the
large attendance was in part due to
their presence. The meeting was call
ed to order by J. E. Anderson, chair
man OF the state committee. He in
troduced Gen. Weaver as temporary
chairman, who delivered an Out-and-
out free silver speech. He advised
unioh of all silver forces.
There was considerable undercur-
rent of Boies talk among the delegates
and the hope was freely expressed that
the democratic convention at Chicago
would split on the silver question and
both wings nominate candidates. IL
this is done the Iowa populist delega-
ton at st. Louis will undoubtedly
seek to have the silver democratic
nominee for president Endorsed, es-
pecially il Boies should be the man.
The following delegates to the st.
Louis convention were selected:
Gen. Weaver was chosen to head the
list of delegates at large by acclama-
ton. The other delegates at large
chosen are: A. w. G. Weeks, w. H.

The bill amends existing laws in sew.

from him for seven years; it provides
that assertions or dishonoraOle dis
charge shall not be a bar to pension

man served ninety days subsequent to
such discharge; it provides that PEN

first application; it fixes the maximum
income of widow entitled to q pen
sion under the act of 1890 at $500 per
provides that no pension shall
be reduced or discontinued except for
fraud or recovery from disability, and
that discontinued pensions, when re-
and reallowed, shall date
from their discontinuance.
Picker Of South Dakota spoke for
three hours in support of the measure.
It added no new classes of pensioners
