PARDON DENIED.
Ihe President Refuses to Interfere
In the Cases of Two Criminal.

Inc PRESIDENT Refuses to Interfere
In the Cases of Two Criminals.
The President has denied the applications
Tor pardon in two criminal cases of i'm
portance. One is the case of Lewis Red
wine, prominent social character of At
lanta. Ga, who was convicted of embez-
zling the funds of a national bank. and
sentenced January II, 1894, to six years
Imprisonment in the Ohio pententiary.
The President says he does not regard the
sentence as severe one, and that he sees
nothing in the papers in the case to en-
title the convict to clemency. The repre-
sentations in regard to the state of the
prisoners health do not, in the Presidents
opinion, justify his release at this time.
The other case was that of F. NJ. O. Hol
ston, convicted in Oregon of forgery In a
pension case, and sentenced January %.
1871, to ten years Imprisonment. In de-
nying the application for pardon the Presi-
dent says he is decidedly in favor of strict
punishment of persons guilty of forgery.

MATTHEW'S FOR SILVER.
He Has Written n Letter Saying He
is for Free Coinage.


Is for Free Coinage.
To stop the booms for Morrison and Ste
venson among the silver men, the sup
porters of Governor Matthews of In
diana find that they must do some
thing. OF course the only way to
successfully prevent further acquisitions to
Morrison or Stevenson from the silver
ranks would be to have Matthews come
out az cnce for silver. That is what it is
alleged he will do.
He has just written letter to a friend in
Washington saying that he is for free COIN
age, and that his position on the question
is identical with that of Senators Voorhees,
and Turpie. This puts him with the pro-
nounced free silver people, and throws lin

Senator Morgan Continues Examining
MIR. C. p. Huntington.
Senator Morgan today continued his ex-
animation of Mr.. c. P. Huntington con-
cerning the affairs of the Central Pacific
Railroad Company, in connection with the
hearing which the Senate committee on Pa
cific railroads is conductinSs The questions
submitted today were basea largely upon
the report on the Pacific roads made by the
Pattison commission, but Mr.. Huntington
said he did not remember to.have ever read
this report. He said the central Pacific
had been built upon asset4 amounting to
s44, ,Oo0, 900, of which s2s,0Oo So0 consisted of
government bonds, but th6t it had cost
more for all the securities were sold for
less than par in currency and with the pro-
ceeds gold was purchaseds which on an
average cost about 81 in currency for each
60 cents worth. 1t was necessary to use
gold in all transactions Oh the Pacific
coast when the road was constructed.
He admitted that he, Hopkins, Stanford
and Crocker were the members OF the con-
tract company, but said that they took up
the construction work because they could
get no one else to do It, When the or
ganization of this company was under con-
sideration he wired Crockers saying: Take
as little of the stock as YOU can and as
much as you must When the work was
completed the contract company owed
about $l0,000,000, and although it received
S30,030,0o0 in Central Pacific stock, It's as
sets would not have paid its debts. The
company, however. came out ahead in the
end by holding the stock until its value IN
creased. He declared, however, that he
could not remember what the profit was to
the company or to its individual members.

SECRETARY CARLISLE ACCEPTS.
He Will be the Guest of Two New
York Clubs Next Week

Secretary Carlisle has accepted an invita-
ton to attend a dinner at the Metropolitan n
Club, New York, next Monday evening, as
the guest of Naval Officer Baldwin. On the
following evening he will be the guest of
the Manhattan Club. Over 800 invitations
have been issued to the Manhattan Club
dinner, including the members of the cab
met, all the democratic United States Sem
atcrs. the members of the Venezuela bound
airy commission and the leading bankers and
business men of New York. According 10
the New York Sun, the hospitality to be ex-
tended TO Secretary Carlisle will be the first
that he has accepted at the hands of New
York city men since he has been head of
the Treasury Department in Mr.. Cleveland $
cabinet.
Secretary Carlisle has been averse appar-
emily. to meeting the New York bankers for
it is well known that on several occasions
he has found IL convenient not to accept the
cordial invitations of these gentlemen to
entertain him. This was notably so couple
of years ago. when dinner at Delmon:co's 5
was got up for his benefit He relieved his
fosts from any particular embarrassment by
coming in when the coffee was served. The
list Of guests at Mr.. Baldwn's dinner in
the Metropolitan Club has not yet been
made up. The reception at the Manhattan
Club will be more general affair.

FAVORITE SON MOVEMENT
McKinley's Friends Recognize That It is
Aimed at Him.
Only Three Candidates Considered
Trouble Expected I'm the New York
and Pennsylvania Delegations.

The friends of Mckinley are naturally
greatly interested in the favorite son move
ment that has started. They recognize that
the movement is aimed at Mckinley, but
they profess to feel no anxiety about the
matter. They conte ID that it is confess
sion of Mckinley's strength, that the oppo-
sitio1 is driven to this course by the convic-
ton that if they do not thus divide the dele
cations up among many men the Ohio can
didate will be nominated on the first ballot
1t is not believed that the plan is aimed
directly against Reed, but the opinion is ex-
pressed that it will prove hurtful to him on
account of the implied confession of his chief
rivals strength
The Mckinley people refuse to regard any
but Mckinley Reed and Allison as serious
candidates, though they grant that Davis
Is himself sincere in his candidacy. The
naming of Morton the favorte son of
New York they regard as simply move of
P1att'S to prevent the delegation from that
state being divided between Mckinley and
Reed. 1t is thought that Reed Will be hurt
Much by this move. though it is aimed at
Mckinley. and it is predicted that the whole
thing viii break Up in bitter factional fight
in the state. The belief is freely expressed
that Quay will not be able to control the
Pennsylvania delegation, and that most of
them will go to Mckinley. in spite of Quay's
name being presented. The claim is made
that the only way that Quay can even make
the appearance of solid delegation will be
by agreeing to the adoption of Mckinley as
second choice. The move in Pennsylvania
and the announcement of Henderson as a
candidate, are pointed out as the most open
attacks upon Mckinley, and the most direct
confession of his strength In both these
states. the friends of the Ohio candidate
say. the sentiment is overwhelmingly for
Mckinley, and 1t is simply an undisguised
effort to tie the delegates up.
The Mandeison candidacy is meeting with
Inn I'm Nnl,r IL
expected TO come of the favorite son idea
there. The fact that Senator Thurston is
openly and publicly supporting Mckinley
and that the Mckinley forces are well or
ganiZed in the state, is expected to prevent
Manderson's Endorsement by the delegation
Davis. they concede, will have the Mime
sofa delegation solidly, and will be sincere
in his candidacy. but that he will have any
considerable strength in the northwest is
disputed. Illinois, they do not believe will
support Cullom a favorite son. but they
say II it does the delegation will be all for
Mckinley. and will do no more than COM
pliment Cullom. The Mckinley people count
Reed their chief opponent, and concede that
he will have the entire New England dele
cation. They say that there is a very
friendly feeling toward Mckinley In New
England but that there will be no effort
made to capture any of the delegates for
him. Nor will they, they say, dispute GER
tain southern territory with him.
