CARLISLE1S LETTER
Gives Cold Comfort to Kentucky
Free Silver Democrats.

| FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. l9.-In re-
ply to Democratic members Of the
| legislature, who are supporting the
Democratic caucus nominee, and who
appealed to Secretary Carlisle to urge
| the five Democrats who oppose Black
| burn to join them in their support, the
| following letter was received from Sec
rotary Carlisle:
"Washington, Feb. 7, 1S96.-Gentlemen
| Your telegram, in which you appeal to me
| to request and urge the five Democratic
members of the general assembly who are
not supporting the nominee to join with us
! (ycu) in voting for him was duly received
ana has been given the careful consideration
| which it's object and the number and char
acter Of its signers demanded.
'Inasmuch as the five gentlemen referred
| to are acting in a representative capacity
and are familiar with the whole situation and
all the circumstances connected with it, l am
bound to assume that they are more COM
petent than l am to determine what their
duty to their party and to their constituents
is, and how that duty shall be discharged,
and an attempt to influence their action
might very properly be regarded by them as
presumptuous interference in a matter of
the greatest Importance, which has been
committed wholly to their own Judgment:
but even if this were not SO, l have no right
! to assume that the honest convictions of the
| five gentlemen alluded to in your commune
cation could be changed by my interference
or that they could be induced to act contrary
to such convictions by advice which they had
not solicited. Having heretofore rendered no
advice or made any suggestion, directly or
indirectly, to any member of the party on
either side of the unfortunate controversy
now existing, I must respectfully decline to
do so now or hereafter.
at may not be considered inappropriate in
this brief response to your appeal to assure
you that I will at all times cheerfully CO.
operate in any manner with you and all
others in any effort that may be made to
unite all our friends in supporting the Demo-
cratic organization in Kentucky and in main
tanning sound Democratic principles and
policies, as declared by the constituted au-
thorities of the party, state and national. and
to repeat what has been said to all who have
cared to ascertain my views upon the sub
Ject; that | sincerely desire tc see the present
general assembly elect to the senate of the
United States a Democrat who is in full
sympathy with these objects. 1 have the
honor to be, very respectfully yours,

TURBULENT SESSIONS OF THE
DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN
REVOLUTION.
DISCUSSION GROWS HEATED.
SEVERAL LADIES WHO ATTEMPT
TO SPEAK ARE ROUNDIY
KISSED.
ALL THIS BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
In the Evening the Public Are Adj
mitted and Everything Is
Lovely.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19-The sec
ond days session Of the Daughters Of
the American Revolution was held be-
hind closed doors, much to the disap-
pointment and dissatisfaction of the
ladies'. Notwithstanding this, what
transpired during the day was learned
considerable discussion ensued at the
morning session on q motion to en-
ploy counsel for the board of man
ayers, and many of the ladies thought
they ought to secure a man to perform
special duties. There was some objec-
ton and 1T was argued that the rules
and constitution of the society forbade
1t. Finally the board was authorized
to employ counsel if necessary. A new
office, that of vice president general.
who is to preside in the absence Of
the president general was created.
The afternoon session is described as
having been rather turbulent and none
out members were admitted. Nearly
the entire afternoon was spent in
discussion Of the society magazine.
Inc American Monthly This is the
exponent of the organization, but MANY
oI the daughters are dissatisfied with
Viz PicSeIl management. Several res
buttons were offered protesting against
MRS. Lockwood, the editress, but no
actlon was taken and a resolution was
passed granting her $1,000 a year as
editor. During this discussion, Mrs.
Wlttenmeyer arose to object to the
methods by which business was being
transacted. While she was speaking
efforts were made to drown her voice
ana she was finally Kissed down. She
made her protest Immediately after
ward, however. A motion that all the
reports submitted to the congress be
revised and edited before being pub
nshed in the society organ, brought
forth strong talk. The motion was OPP
posed by Mrs. Donald Mclean and
she also was Kissed into her seat but
taking the platform she made her ex-
plantations and won her point
The evening session was a. public
one, Mrs. Hinkle presiding. Miss Edna
Doe opened the programme with a
song and was followed by ten-minute
reports from sixteen of the state
regents on the progress Of the work
accomplished during the last year.

ANGRY GOV. THORNTON.
Declares That Delegate Catron's In.
situations Are False

SANTA F'E, N. M, Feb. 10. = The
| charge made by Delegate Catron at
| Washington, that Gov. Thornton, of
New Mexico, was acting in collision
with Dan Stuart to have the prize fight
ccme off in New Mexico, before the re-
cent act of congress in regard to prize
lighting was passed, continues to be
the subject Of much comment in this
territory
The governor, in an interview, said
that he was indignant at the uncalled-
for conduct Of the delegate. He de-
clared that, while he recognized the
weakness of his legal position, he had
left no stone unturned to prevent the
fight coming off in New Mexico; that
his correspondence with the attorney
general was on record at Washington,
showing that he had both telegraphed
and written, asking for the aid of SOL
diers to assist the civil authorities,
prior to any congressional action; that
over a month ago he had written to
the district attorney Of Donna Ana
county, and the district attorney of
Grant county, directing them to use
their utmost endeavors to prevent the
laws violation. He had also written
to Judge BantZ asking for advice and
cooperation in the matter; consulted
with the solicitor general and United
States Attorney Hemingway, and had
motion to be able to prevent the prize
fight. While the punishment was only
fine, he realized the danger of the
fight being brought off here in spite of
his efforts, as there is a strip Of coun-
try eighty-five miles in length, extend
ing from Ell Paso to Deming, where
there is no settlement whatever, and
the pugilists and their friends could
board a train in Ell Paso, go up the
road fifty miles, and fight before it
would be possible to get officers on the
ground.
This they were not afraid to do while
the penalty was a simple fine. The
governor also stated that he gave the
associated ministers at Ell Paso the in
formation of the absence of any legis-
lation, either federal or territorial, to
properly protect the territory, which
information the ministers association
wired to Congressman Cockrell, which
doubtless resulted in Mr.. Catron intro
ducing his bill The governor says he
defes Mr.. Catron or any other man to
produce an iota of evidence where he
has neglected to do his whole duty in
this matter, or to show any completely
with the prize fighters. II think" con-
tinued the governor, that Mr. Catron
deserves great credit for pushing the
bill, but 1 object to his misrepresent-
ing my position in order to glorify him

: STUART KEEPS MUM
NOT UNTIL TONIGHT WILL HE TELL.
WHEN THE BIG FIGHT Is TO
OCCUR.
ALL is QUIET AT FL PASO.
nIAHER,S EYES ARE STEADILY M
PROVING-FITZ IN FIRST-CLASS
CONDITION.
GOV. THORNTON SORE AND ANGRY.
Declares That the Instructions That
He Was Aiding the Fighters
Are False.

Ell PASO, Tex, Feb. 19.-The fight
was practically asleep today, the only
point of interest in it being the condi-
ton of Makers eyes, and Of them the
report was as it has been for the past
three days-Steadily improving. Fitz-
simmons remained quietly in his quar-
terS all day, and gave the numerous
MexicanS and rangers who watched
him every time he leaves the house a
chance to rest themselves. He is doing
only very light work, in order to keep
himself in frst-claSs condition. He is
certainly III superb shape, and reiter-
Rted today his firm belief that the
fight would be short one and that he
would be an easy winner inside of five
rounds. Jack Everhardt went over to
Fitzsimmons' quarters today to help
him train, and will probably be one of
his seconds in the ring.
Considerable merriment was caused
at Stuarts headquarters today by
story from Galveston that the fight
would be on barges in the Gulf of Mex
leo, off that city. 1t was to be fought
before the kaleidoscope and few wit
nesses only. The plan was never
thought Of here until wired from Gal
weston, and the impossibility of the
kaleidoscope taking photographs if the
water was in the least rough is alone
enough to put the plan out of the ques-
ton. All sorts Of rumors are afioat as
to the location Of the battle ground,
but Stuart is keeping his own counsel,
and not until tomorrow night will any
information be given as to the location
and the time of the departing train.
Buck Connolly came in from Las
Cruces tonight and reported Maher as
being much improved. He said his
man would be down on the 10 o'clock
train tomorrow morning and would be
ready to enter the ring at any time
after his arrival. He was not inclined
to be communicative regarding
Makers general condition, but Dick
Plunkett, who came in from the Maher
camp with Connolly, declared Peter
was in excellent shape and strong as
an OK. His eyes, according to Plum
kett, are somewhat inf1amed, but his
general condition is excellent.

HEADQUARTERS AT ST. LOUIS

CHICAGO. Feb. 19.-The next con-
vention Of the Republican National
league will be held at Milwaukee, Aug
25 rs and q. Instead Of leaving the
selection to the meeting of the exec
utiVe committee, a ballot was taken
last month by correspondence, and Mil
Waukee won out by an overwhelming
vote. and today the executive commit
tee formally ratified the selection. The
meeting of the executive committee
Is held for the purpose Of securing
money to carry on the campaign this
year. Hitherto there has been no lack
Of funds, or rather very little difficulty
in securing all the money needed, and
no effort has been made until today
to arrange for the financial end Of the
work. Secretary Bowling says that
there is no definite plan before the
committee. The work will be con-
eluded with session tonight.
At the afternoon session the men,
bers set about raising funds to carry
on the campaign of 80. New York
came forward with cash subscrip-
ton, and was followed at once by
other states. 1t soon became apparent
that all financial difficulty would be
overcome. AT this juncture telegram
was received from the attorney of the
league congratulating the meeting on
the successful outcome of a suit which
mas Deen penang since 1883 IN Albany,
by which the league is given $4,000,
which it had sued to recover on lit
erature contract. A telegram of sym
pathy was sent to James H. Manley,
of Augusta, Me-, a prominent men,
Der of the league, regarding the death
Of his wife. The secretary was in
structed to distribute 10000 copies of
T. B. Walters tariff pamphlet.
1t was decided to open headquarters
I<S,< oil bot al
st. Louis. and it is expected that there
will be large attendance of league
members at the convention. A general
meeting of the league will be held in
the convention hall the night of June
16, but the league will not go pledged
to any candidate, and will only work
for general Republican interest.
In regard to the Milwaukee conven-
ton, committee on rates was ap-
pointed, consisting of John GoOdnow,
M. J. Bowling, 0. l.. Rosenkranz. and
one on securing speakers, consisting
Of MeSSrs. McAlpin, Goodnow, West,
Baxter and Bowling. Reports on the
general work of the league in the diff
ferent states showed good working Or
ganiZation in all the states except CAL
ifornia, and the secretary was instruct
ed to organize that state at once. The
state of Iowa claims to be the best or
ganized of any Of the states, with TOO
clubs in good standing. Iowa's
scheme of organization has been gener-
ally adopted by the league in the other
states.

NOT BELIEVED OF TAYLOR
That He Complained of Speech Made
Before n Society in Madrid.

before u Society in Madrid
WASHINGTON Feb. 1s.-If Mr.. Hannis
Taylor, United States minister to Madrid
has, as is reported the authority of a
spanish newspaper, addressed a curt note to
tIe spanish government demanding an ex-
PLANTATION of an attack made upon the United
states, in an address delivered by Senior
ConVas before geographical society then
responsibility, for nothing of the subject mat
ter OF the complaint is known at the state
department. 1t is felt here that the facts
cannot be as represented or AT least there
must be other facts not stated in the cable
dispatch for our minister would not it is
assumed, base an official complaint upon an
ADDRESS entirely lacking, as this appears to
nave been, in official character 1t is not
presumed here that our ministers abroad can
take cognizance of all criticisms passed upon
their country by individuals before private
gatherings
Senior Convas, in the address in question
asserted that the moral atmosphere of the
united States was very defective and that
family relations lacked much that was to he
desired. Education, he also stated. while
widespread, was only the surface and
American politicians, he added have no pres
uge. He concluded with the remark that in
America everything is sacrificed to the al
mighty dollar and that business and the ma
terialities of life drown all noble sentiment.
MADRID, Feb 19-Admiral Beranger. min.
lister of marine, has made investigation as
to the circumstances Of the address delivered
by Senior Convas. The latter has denied the
accuracy of the extracts of his lecture which
were published in the press, and has said
there was nothing in it offensive to Amer
ica The government has offered Hannis Tay-
lor, United States minister, satisfactory as
surance Of its sincere friendship for the
American nation. 1t is believed that the in
cident has thus been ended.

Terrible Treatment of Prisoners in
Convict Camp,

OCALA, Fla, Feb. 19.-After ten days of
torture at a convict camp whittier they had
been sent as tramps, eleven young men were
released on writs of habeas corpus issued by
Circuit Judge Hooker. The young men gave
their names as George Saunders and Charles
Smith, Kentucky; Jack Ingram, Ohio; Oscar
Wagner, Missouri; Thomas Cummings, John
Davis, New York; Thomas Forbes, Pennsyl-
vanfa; Jack Ryan, Louisiana; Don Clint, ILL
nois; John SOPHIA, Texas; Joseph Stone, Mas
saohusette.
Two weeks ago the party reached Ocala.
They were we'll dressed, and said they were
walking to see the country better and to hunt
and fish at will. They had a lot of novelties
for sale. They did not ask aid, but the day
after their arrival they were arrested. Jus
tfce Clara sent them to the convict farm as
tramps.
At the ranch they were barbarously treated.
They were chained to negroes and given i'm
possible tasks. Every night upon reporting
the tasks unperformed, they were stripped,
tied across logs and whipped with rawhides
till the blood gushed. Last night the coolest
of the winter. the guards drove them into a
pond, shouting:
you haYe been wanting a bath, now get
it."
Twice day they were given bread, but NO
meat At Judge Rockers request they barred
their backs, which were found raw and auiv-
ering. Five Of them may not recover. In
discharging the young men, Judge Hooker
said their arrest, sentence and treatment dis
graced civilization, and every one concerned
In 1t should be severely punished. The habeas
corpus proceedings were brought by Ocala
citizens. The victims OF the outrage will bring
heavy suits for damages ny
