ONLY A FEW.
Not More Than Thirty Guests VIII
witness the Dimmtck-h"rrisoh
Ceremony.

NEW YORK, April 6.-Ex-President
Harrison entertained a number of his
friends today. Final preparations for
his wedding have been completed. Ad-
mission to the church will be by card
only and not more than thirty guests
will be present. There is still great
deal of speculation about the time at
which the ceremony will be performed.
hut no information upon this has been
allowed to leak out.
"You see," said Secretary Tibbetts
today, General Harrison does not
want a crowd to be around the church
when they go in and out. 1t is not
that he desires to make himself ex-
elusive. but that he does not like Mrs.
Dimmick to be subjected to the eager
gaze of people who are not in any way
interested in her or in him. 1t is a
private matter If people knew the
hour there would be throng about
the church through which they could
hardly make their way"
General Harrison took breakfast at
the Fifth avenue hotel with Colonel
Corbin. u. s. A. He had luncheon
with Daniel Ramsdell, Lieutenant
Parker and Secretary Tibbetts. After
luncheon the party called on Mrs.
Dimmick at the home of her sister
Mrs Gray. w. II. H. Miller, attorney
general during General Harrison's ad-
ministration, arrived today and spent

READY TO RISE.
Natives Object to the Slaughter of
Cattle with the Rinderpest.


CAPE TOWN. April 5.-Alarm prevails
at Mafeking and the farmers in the out
lying districts are bringing their families
into town. They declare the natives are
preparing to rise on account of the dis
content aroused among them by the
slaughter of their cattle in the effort TO
stamp out the destructive rinderpest.
This cattle disease has been creating
great havoc among the herds of the
Transvaal and Rhodesia has become
paralyzed. Mefeking is situated on the
northeastern border of Cape Colony, with
the Transvaal adjoining it on the east. 1t
is the point from which Jameson's raiders
set out for johannesburg. 1t is also the
points from which Sir Hercules Robinson,
governor of Cape Colony, last week dis
patched force of 800 British troops to
assist in putting down the Matabele up
rising. The border of Matabele land is
$40 miles to the northeast and Buluwayo
is $50 miles away. The present outbreak
of discomfort can hardly be the result of
race sympathy with the Matabelelands.
If it have any connection with the Mata-
belle revolt, it must be through the incit-
ing agent being the same.
Measures have been taken to protect
Mafeking. The inhabitants have held a
meeting and decided to appeal to the gov
ernor, Sir Hercules Robinson, to send
troops the police not being sufficient for
the protection of Bechuanaland to the
north.

As Seen by the Courier-Journa1.

LOUISVILLE, KY. April 5.-The Cour-
Ter Journal will tomorrow publish the
following editorial on the letter of Sec
rotary Carlisle made public tonight:
The position which Mr.. Carlisle takes
is one entirely in accordance with the
dignity of the Office of president and with
the duties of the office of secretary of
the treasury. He declines to participate
In contest for the nomination, holding
that the matter of first moment is the
declaration of the party's principles. He
desires the Endorsement of his services
by his state, and though he does not say
so in so many words. if his state shall
present his name to the national con-
vention on a satisfactory platform, he
will undoubtedly accept that responsible
ity.
This is a matter OF exceptional moment
at once to the Democratic party, and to
the entire people of the United States. To
the Democratic party it brings home the
issue whether it is to continue to be the
party of Jefferson, Jackson, Benton and
Cleveland, or whether it is to set up
strange gods and lend the priceless pres
tge of its name and history to an alien
faith.

ance warrants, pointing out only that
the sensitive money interests OF the
city are often better informed on such
matters than is any part Of the COM
munity except the highest official
authority, and that my informant IS
now, and for many years has been
associated with the leading financial
enterprises. conspicuously in the inter-
national ones, Of London bankers his
name, If 1 could mention 1t, would be
recognized as very authoritative by
every New York banker as we'll as
every London banker. Such treaty
would have a vastly important bear
ing upon the continental situation. 1t
would have commensurately import
ant bearing upon the Cuban question
in the United States
Il quoted to my informant the state
ment in the New York papers reaching
me by yesterdays mail, that the Wash
ington government had received a
semi official intimation from the Bril-
ism ministry that England would ap-
prove of the recognition by the United
States of Cuban belligerency.
His reply was that exactly the con-
trary is the case; that in the first place
the Salisbury ministry is disposed TO
do anything it can with safety and in
reason to check the pretensions of the
American government to interfere in
either West Indian or South American
affairs, particularly in the West In
dies, where Great Britain herself has
most important interests, and that, sec
ondly, Spain, by this treaty, has made
important concessions to England in
return for the latter's more or less &C
tive support of Spain in her conflict
with the Cuban rebels.
Il can furnish no further details OF
this alleged treaty than that. accord
ing to my informant, it will include
giving to Great Britain the right to
harbor and refit her fleets in the Med
iterranean ports of Spain. The har-
Dor of Cartagena is one of the finest
on the Mediterranean, and would smell
ter the entire British navy. The sal
isbury ministry has openly and OH
cially stated one of its chief reasons
for the extraordinary movement, the
advance on the Soudan accepted as
hostile by France and Russia. was to
make a friendly diversion in behalf OF
Italy. All Europe has in turn ac-
cepted this assurance as proof OF En-

From all this the Importance of an
/ Anglo-Spanish alliance to Great Brit

Malta-England's only two ports on
the Mediterranean, is capable of either
/ harboring or refitting a fleet, but with
both the Italian and Spanish ports
! thrown open to the British navy, the
French fleet at Toulon would be at En-

Such are the apparent reasons why

conflict of prayer and melody, however.
The volunteers held their first public

about twenty-five of the volunteers. Most
of them wore the old Salvation army
uniform and the Ballington Booth
badge. A crowd of thousand

Salvation army corps, with brass band,
appeared on the scene, drowning the
prayers of the volunteers. The meeting
went on. however, and soon the two
bands of soldiers were praying in different
parts of the little park. There were many
patriotic speeches by the volunteers. At
the conclusion of the meeting the Ameri-

was spread, with a soldier at each corner,

asked to do so by ainging their money
upon the flag. There was a shower of
coins and handsome contribution was
the result. Afterwards there were SER
vices at the First NJ. Z. church, that edi-

My Dear Sir:-Your favor of March

many of my friends in Kentucky and
elsewhere desire me 10 become a can
didate before the approaching national
Democratic convention for nomination
of Office of president, and requesting
me to give you some authoritative or
definite expression upon the project,
has been maturely considered. Many
communications upon the same sub
ject and similar import have been re-
ceiYed from friends in different parts
of the country and while ever CRATE
full for these numerous expressions OF
| confidence and esteem on the part OF
my Democratic fellow citizens, 1 have
not been able to reach the conclusion
that the existing conditions require me
to comply with their requests by au-
thorizing them to announce me as
candidate for the presidential nomi-
nation. While 1 feel a profound in
terest in the welfare of my party, 1
am much more concerned about its
declaration of principles than its selec-
ton of candidates., because, in my
opinion, it's failure or success at the
election, as well as its capacity for
useful service in the country in the fu-

takes or omits to take upon the public
questions now engaging the attention
of the people and especially the ques-
tons affecting the monetary system of

amount of taxation to be imposed upon
our citizens. Its position upon these
and other subjects having been agreed
upon, and clearly and distinctly an
nounced, the convention ought to have
no difficulty in selecting an accept
able candidate who will fairly repre-
sent, its views and in. order that it's

little as possible by the contentious

performed by declining to participate
