LOUISVILLE, KY, March 2S.-The two
three-story warehouses of the Pleasure
Ridge Park Distillery company was de-
stroyed by fire this morning with all their
contents, including upwards of 10000 bar
rels of whisky.
1t is believed the fire was caused by a
spark blown from one of the smoke
stacks of the distillery proper.
The plant was equipped with fire SER
vice but as the fire started forty-fve feet
from the ground, the streams could not
reach the flames. The fire spread to the
barrels inside the buildings and in less
than ten minutes the first barrel exploded
throwing burning whisky all over the
place and putting the fire beyond control.
The wind was blowing a gale and famed
the flames to a great height. The efforts
of the employees were directed toward
saving the distillery proper, ana as that
was on the windward side of the fire they
We're able to cut off the flames from it.
The cooper shop burned to the ground
in less than twenty minutes.
The total loss is about $425, 900, of which
$3.50, 600 is on bonded whisky, $4,000 on free
whisky, and the remainder on the build
ings. The insurance is s3z5, COO.

NEW YORK, March 29.-The World
this morning says: A special has been
received by the personal manager of
the Bermuda's alleged flfbustering ex-
petition from Captain O'Brien. in co.m-
mana OF the steamer. The cable ad-
DRESS OF the manager is IS. S. Smith /"
his real identity has never yet been
disclosed. Captain O'Brien or "Dyna-
mite Johnny as he is better known
briefly stated in his cablegram that The
Bermuda arrived out" These faurfl-
lar words conveyed a host of infornpa-
ton to John D. Hart, the reputed
owner of the Bermuda, to the McCaldin
Bros. company, Captain O'Brien's en-
ployers, and TO the Cuban revolutionary
party.
Captain O'Briens information sig
miles, said member of the Cuban
Junta, more than the mere fact that
the Bermuda men have been landed
on Cuban soil. We knew that before.
1t means that the Bermuda is safe
on her way to Vera Cruz, the port
for which she cleared. Allowing that
the post at which the Bermuda landed
her expedition was only twenty miles
west of Havana, the distance to Vera
Cruz is about $50 miles The Bermuda
has plenty of time to make it.
She will probably be reported at
Vera Cruz Sunday, March 20. She is
obliged to make the port for which
she cleared unless stress of weather or
accident compels her to deviate from
her course

New York Financier on the Situation
and Outlook.
NEW YORK, March 2S.-The New
York Financier says this week:
The statement of the associated banks
of New York City for the week ending
March Is is in marked contrast with those
made since the award of the govern
ment bonds. the loan item decreasing for
the first time in seven weeks Loans.
however. are still nearly twenty millions
IN excess of the low record of February
last. 1t is somewhat difficult to trade
the cause of the falling off last week
except on the theory that stock ex-
change business was very dull and that
some OF the banks whose reserves have
fallen too low are calling in their loans.
When it IS stated that twelve banks
hold 100000 of the cash reported by the
Philadelphia clearing house, and that
half Of the former number hold two
thirds of the surplus reserve, some idea
of the distribution of cash may be OBJ
tained. 1t is this fact that has forced
a number OF banks out of the loan mar
ket almost entirely. The banks are still
losing cash, according to the report
The statement reflects, perhaps the
final payments made last week into the
sub-treasury by the government deposit
tory banks This it is said has heen
continued during the week 1t was stated
last week that call might be expected
from the treasury for a second payment
by the depository banks into the sub
treasury, but the week closed without
this incident
The movement of money is now toward
New York and everything seems to favor
an early resumption of gold exports 1t
is doubtful. however, whether the treas
ury would resort to the expedient of fore
ing rates to a point where these exports
might be prevented, even if only tenn
porarily. The money market is, in a way,
more normal than for long time past
md no saf will oo.t
as much attention as they did last win
ter.

WeyIer Resigns.

NEW YORK, March ga special to
the World from Key West says: The
Morgan line steamer which arrived
from Havana today reports that it was
stated semi-officially in Havana that
Captain General Weyler, in spite of all
stories to the contrary, had become dis
gusted and rendered his resignation be-
cause things are in a bad shape 1t was
an open secret in Havana that owing
to this determination to resign and the
seeming determination of the United
States to recognize the belligerency of
Cuba, all parties have come together
in Madrid, and the prime minister of
Spain will resign to accept the captain
generalcy of Cuba.

OKLAHOMA CITY, o. T.. March o.
The Republican territorial convention,
which met here today to elect delegates
TO the St. Louis convention, brought on
bitter struggle between the Reed and
Mckinley factions. Tonight, the Reed
men are claiming victory. However,
Reed was not endorsed by the platform
adopted, and the Reed victory is limited
TO the voting down of resolutions en-
dorsing Mckinley. the defeat of the six
Mckinley candidates for delegates to St
Louis, and the election of delegation
said to be IN favor of the man from
Maine.
The platform adopted congra tulates the
Republican party on the "commendable
array of presidential timber" and de-
clares ii to be the sense of the conven-
ton that the delegates elected shall lay
aside all personal preferences and use
their influence in the national conven-
lion for the commercial advancement
of Oklahoma" through the nomination of
a man for president who will give Ok
lahoma interests the consideration they
deserve"
The financial plank is as follows:
I'VE contend for honest money; for a
currency of gold, silver and paper with
which to measure out exchange that
shall be as sound as the government and
as untarnished as its honor, and 20 that
enu we favor DlmeIaillSm ana demand
the use of both gold and silver as stand
ard money, under such restrictions, to
be determined by legislation, as will Sc
cure the maintenance of the PARTIES of
the values of the two metals: also that
the purchasing and debt-paying power of
The dollars. whether in silver, gold or
paper, shall be at all times equal, and
we believe the best way to continue the
parity of our dollars, and at the same
time enlarge the circulating medium,
commensurate with the growth of the
population, is the unlimited use of the
domestic silver product of our monetary
system, and the prohibition of foreign
silver. modified by financial reciprocity"
Other resolutions of the platform
adopted affirm allegiance to the princi-
pies of the Republican party; condemn
the present Democratic administration,
declare in favor of the principle of terri
torial home rule: endorse the record of
Delegate Flynn in congress; thank the
lower house of congress for its action in
passing the free homes bill, and express
the hope that the senate will also pass
this measure.
The delegates elected to the st. Louis
convention are Q. A. Mitcher, Oklahoma;
Charles S. Day, Day; j. c. Roberts,
Kingfisher; Henry Asp. Guthrie; ]. A

Work of Three Hundred Armed
Men in the South.

CHICAGO. March 2S.--A special to
the Inter ocean from New Orleans
says:
Three hundred armed men with Win
chesters and shotguns held possession
all day Friday of the little town of
Palmetto, twenty-nine miles from Ope-
lousas. in st. Landry's parish, where
the trouble occurred about ten days
ago. Their presence there was for the
purpose of preventing the negroes from
registering. Registrar Swords was adj
vertised to open the registration Of
fee in the morning. He kept it open
all day, but not single negro regis
tered. The blacks were thoroughly
overawed by the presence of the armed
men. Palmetto has a population of
about 400 negroes and twenty whites.
After the registrar had left the town
the armed men rode off. They came
from all parts of the parish. The same
tactics will no doubt be pursued in 9TH
er parts of the parish.

LIVING IN HOPES.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2S.-
Among the arrivals by the Coptic was
r. Negishi, who is on his way to Lon
don as agent there for a new line of
steamers to be put on by the Nippon
Yusen kaisha between London and
Yokohama. The Nippon Yusen Kali
sha owns over sixty steamers, plying
between the ports of the east. 1t is
probable that this company will before
long establish line between one of
the ports on this coast and Yokohama
If a line should be established, Port
land or Tacoma would probably be
selected as the eastern terminal.
