Thought He Was Tillman.

Ex-senator Butler, of South
Carolina, who attended the recent
Chicago convention as spectator,
says that many of the delegates
hooted and jeered Delegate Mars
den of Louisiana under the impress
sion that he was Senator Tillman.
The evening following the first
days session, when "The red-hesd-
ed rover of the Red river" as Mr..
Marsden is fsmilisrly called at
home, tried to make speech, sew
eral visitors to the convention met
Gen. Butler and proceeded to tell
him how they had "squelched"
Senator Tillman, who loves Gen.
Butler as we'll as the devil does
holy water, and that feeling is re-
ciprocated by Gen. Butler. The
visitors were going on to tell the
General how successfully they had
howled down Tillman.
"Why," replied Gen. Butler,
with some astonishment, Senator
Tillman did not address the con-
vention today"
"Of course he did not, for we
would not listen to him, and we
broke him all up," insisted one of
the party.
II am quite sure that l was in
the convention while the session
lasted" said Senator Butler, "and
I am sure Tillman did not speak
to the convention today"
"WhatP' exclaimed the party in
chorus, "wasn't that red-headed
fellow who tried TO drink the lake
dry Ben Tillman?"
"No," replied Gen. Butler, shat
fellow was Marsden, of Louisiana"
"Well! welll we'll" exclaimed the
anti-Tillman rooters. ave

HIS STARS DIPPED IN BLOOD
Captain General WeyIer Will Make Major
General Of One Of His Most Relent-
less Butchers.

Havana, June 27.-Advices have been
received here to the effect that Brigadier
General Melquisen will positively be pro-
NOTED TO major general.
Gerenal Melquisen is at present in
command of the troops in the southern
part of the province of Pinar del Rio.
He has gained most unenviable notoriety
through his killing of inoffenslve pacifi-
cos, men, women and children. II was by
his orders that Dr. Delgado was shot,
and he was also responsible for the Camp
of Florida massacre Many tales have
been told of his lust for blood, and
though the charges that he has butchered
hundreds of persons in cold blood have
been proved beyond a shadow of a
doubt, he is to be honored by promotion
on the recommendation Of Captain Cen
eral Weyler.
The Farenesco squadron, while operat-
ing near Capellanias, province of Ha-
vana, met large rebel force under Col
lazo. A fierce engagement followed, in
which the rebels lost twenty-one killed
and many wounded. The troops lost
seven wounded.

SOME MILLS HANG BACK.

Boston. Mass, June 27.-The Boston
News bureau says in regard to curtail-

1t does not seem to be easy to bring into
line some Of the millss represented In
Boston so that they will take part In the
short time movement. 1t is understood
that none of the mills in Manchester are
likely to stop, and 1t is very unlikely thar
the Acushnel, Hathaway, Dartmouth and
whitman mills of New Bedford will stop
any of their machinery. There seems to

its own best interest, and 1t as going to be

The stock OF print cloths on hand today
Is 2.O67, 900 pieces, the largest stock by
some hundred of thousand pieces that
there ever was in The country.
The demand for print cloths and kim
dred goods Is limited, and Ii is difficult to
see how manufacturers can expect TO get
any advance on the part of prices, even
with the proposed curtailment OF produc-
tion for four weeks during the summer,
considering the enormous stocks of gray
cloths which musf be marketed and the
limited needs Of the calico printers and

New Orleans, June 27.--A unique VIOLA

degree. The Jurors retired at s:45 o'clock
last night, and until their return to the
court room at 11:04 o'clock this morn
ing nothing was heard from them. Gen

the pronouncing of his doom his appear
ance was pitiable.
The court officers would not admit the

o'clock for the purpose of receiving the
verdict the room was well niled; After
waiting for few minutes for the jury
and no tidings from them being forth
coming Judge Yerkes temporarily left
the bench. The delay of the jury was re-
garded as favorable to the prisoner. At
II o'clock word was received from the
Jury room that verdict had been reach
ed, and when the jurors walked silently
to their seats there was breathless sus-
pense In the court room.
Gentry, who had been sick during the
night, was led to the dock trembling hke
q leaf Tears rolled down his cheeks and
his manner was one OF utter ueJeCtioH'
When the clerk of the court asked the
foreman of the jury, Have you agreed
upon verdict?' the prisoners mouth
twitched perceptibly and he gasped for
breath The words guilty of murder In
the first degree fell upon Gentry as
though he had been struck heavy blow.
He grasped the front railing of the dock
with both hands and 1t was with dificul-
tv that he remained upon bis feet. He
sought relief in tears and when he was
allow ed 10 sit down he buried his face In
his hands and continued TO sob. The
xcsne was very impressive.
At the request of LawytT Brooke OF
New York senior counsel for The defend
ami thu Jury was polled individually and
each man re-echoed the words OF the
foreman
The verdict was formally recorded and
Mr.. Bforke inen made the customary
motion for a new trial, Thursday next
was set by Judge Yerkes as the day for
hearing argument upon the motion, and
In the meantime the prisoners attorneys
W.T. file their reasons for new trial
The Judge before sdischarging the jurors
thanked them for "the faithful perform
ance of their duty" and warned them
not to discuss what had transpired IN
the jury room.
Gentry was taken to his cell In the
city hall supported by tip STAFF, and
later in the day be was returned to the
county prison.
