CINCINNATI, Feb. 16.-The excitement in
this city and vicinity over the atrocious
murder OF Pearl Bryan has been intensified
Dy the developments of last night and to-
day. People had time for reading the pa
pers this morning. The feeling tonight is
of the silent but ready sort that portends
latent danger No outbreak Is anticipated.
and a successful one here would be out of
the question with the present efficiency of
the police and the military While the feel
ing here is of the explosive sort, the ex-
ternal restraint is sufficient to prevent an
explosion. Every other man one meets ex-
presses the opinion that short work should
be made Of these men. The thinking and
strictly law-abiding element in Coving.on
and Newport have confidence in the courts.
and believe in depending on the courts to
mete out justice to the prisoners. 1t is now
probable that Scott Jackson and Alonzo

PITTSBURG. Pa, Feb. Ex-senator Quay
has dispelled all doubts as to the sincerity
of the movement in favor of his nomination
for the Presidency at the ST. Louis con-
vention, through an interview with Frank
De II. Robson, of Cleveland, made public
this evening Mr.. Robson, who is the
representative OF Mark A. Hanna, ex-
Governor McKinley's right-hand man,
called on Senator Quay at his home i'm
Beaver to-day. and pointedly asked the
latter what his real position in the Presi-
dential race was. The query was brought
about by the numerous statements that
Senator Quay's candidacy was merely a
blum. Mr.. Robson tonight said the Sena-
tor received him cordially. and. in answer
to the leading question, unhesitatingly. and
without qualification, said his candidacy
was bona fide in every respect, and that
he was in the fight to win. Should ne fail
is would not be because his friends would
not work faithfully 10 attain their end.
Mr.. Robson was pleased with the out
spoken way in which Senator Quay met
him, but says the Mckinley forces will be
nothing daunted, and will not wayer par
ticle in their allegiance TO him.
