sented to the St. Louis COnven-
dent-He Discusses the Financial
Question.

Louisville. Ky. June 4.-The Com
mewial's special from Frankfort con-
ta!ns an interview with Gov. Bradley
which is his official withdrawal as II
presidential candidate. He announced
to-day to his friends that his name
would not be presented to the st. Louis
convention. although the Kentucky
delegates-at-large and some district
delegates are instructed for him. Gov.
BRADLEY looks on the growth of free
silver among the Southern and West
ern Democrats with alarm as threat
ening the interests of the country. He
urges the Republicans to meet the is
sue squarely, and closes his interview
thus:
"'rhc nominee Of the Republicans at
st. Louis should have the undivided
support Of the party. for the CONNER
cinl interests of the republic are in as
much danger as in 1861. Personal
preferences should be laid aside and
petty animosities forgotten and patri-
0tic Democrats who stand for the ma
ttonal advancement and prosperity Of
the nation should be appealed to assist
In the defeat of those who would lower
the standard of our money and thereby
necessarily strain the nations honor.
Kentucky Republicans won signal
triumph last fall on ringing dcclara-
tion for sound money. They should
stand by their guns. forgetting all in
tcrnecine strife and march shoulder to
shoulder to a grand victory in No
vembcr."
Gov. Bradley's friends say he stated
as soon as the returns of the silver
tidal wave last Saturday came in that
the time had come for state favoritcs
and personal preferences to be laid
aside

SLICK JOB.

Scheme Put Up by Detective to Gain
Glory and a Reward.
West Superior, Wis, June 3.-The
preliminary examination of Thomas
Kennedy for the burglary from the
Superior Warehouse company's place
last August was taken up this morn
ing. The place in question was re-
lieved of 5000 worth of goods. mostly
valuable furs and sealskins. The
state put OH as n witness John Master
man of Ripley. Minn.. who claimed to
have been told inside history of the
robbery by the defendant. He testified
that Kennedy, while in hiding, in a
burst of confidence. told him that he,
with Superior detective whose name
begins with p. and a man named
Mead, committed the deed; that the
job was put up by the detective, who
was to recover the goods and secure
the reward. He further says that the
goods were taken to we'll known sa-
loon and hid for several days, the own
er of the place only requesting a seal
skin cape for his wife's use. Other
sensational developments are expect
ed. The detective supposed to be the
one referred to is George Purchase,
who had some of the goods in his Dos
session last fall, and was arrested FOR
holding stolen property. He was dis
charged Mt the time. but was represent

Tennessee Celebrates Her State
Centennial.
Nashville. June 3.-The anniversary
day which Tennesseeans have looked
for with such emotions of pride and
with such delightful anticipations,
dawned gloomily. The sky was over
hung with clouds. which fingered after
the heavy rains of the day before, and
as the day advanced the rain once
more began to fall. The city's gay dec
orations were drenched. and the pros
pect for the splendid and elaborate pa
rade was disappointing. However, the
booming Of cannon. giving what was
intended to be the sunrise salute of
sixteen guns. thrilled the assembled
multitudes, and despite the clouded
skies and the show ers of rain, the
streets were alive with hurrying cour-
iers and cavalcades Of marshals and
aides, who were busy preparing for
the parade. The great procession was
to start at $50 o'clock, but so forbid
ding was the weather tie committee
decided to postpone the parade. A
century ago this morning George
Washington. first president of the
United States. issued the proclamation
which set forth the fac that Tennes-
see was admitted as state. 1t was
the sixteenth state to be so honored,
Vermont and Kentucky alone having
previously been permitted to Join
forces with the thirteen original states.

The Project Takes Definite Form in
Washington.
Washington, June 4. - The project
for a Pan-American congress which
Secretary Olney and Representative
Smith of Michigan are endeavoring to
promote. was given definite form to-
day in II resolution introduced in the
house by Mr.. Smith The resolution
authorizes the president, whenever in
his Judgment it may be opportune, to
notify the governments of the repub-
lies of Mexico. Brazil, Central and
South America. Hayti and San Do
mingo to join the United States in a
conference to be held in Washington
for the purpose of considering and
recommending to each of the govern
ments such measures as will provide
for arbitration of all disputes between
any of the governments and measures
to improve and extend their business
and commercial relations and promote
and insure the security of the people
of each of the countries. An appropri-
alton of S:}O.OtO is proposed. The pres
ident of Ecuador recently proposed
conference of this character to be held
in the City Of Mexico or Washington.
Owing to the course of Mr.. KEN of
Nebraska in objecting to um.'imous
consent for business. there is not much
probability, Mr.. Smith fears. that the
resolution can be passed during this
session of congress, although 1t
meets with favor from all the members
of the house committee on foreign af-
fairs.
