The Baltimore Sun says:
The republicans carried the state of
Maryland for Mckinley and sound money

1000 more than Governor Lowndes re-
ceived last year.

instead of four. as at present. the con-

large democratic majority of Wicomico

democratic majority of Worcester to 10

ecker, of Smyrna, was named for COVER
nor, and Jonathan s Willis, of Milford,
for congress, by the Addicks faction of the
Republican party, in convention, yester-
day. Both nominations were by aoclama-
tion. The platform reaffirms loyalty to
Republican principles as enunciated by
the St Louis convention, denounces the
action of the St, Louis convention in un-
seating the Addiclls delegation, and de-
clares the Higgins state committee to be
"a mere pretense." James c. Shaw, d.
Mifflin Wilson and Daniel J, FoOks were
selected as presidential electors. 1t Is ex-
pected that the convention, headed by the
Higgins delegates, which will be held at
Georgetown tomorrow, will indorse the
nomination of Mr.. Hoffecker for governor

THE South beat the North at Chicago II
they didn't beat it at Appomattox. The
leaders of the rebel states rode rough shod
over the Northern Democratic states, and
showed no quarter. Whether the rebel
veil" went up has not been stated, but that
il was ready to go is not to be doubted The
cheering notes of that doggerel called Dixie
was the standard music and brought out more
applause than the star Spangled Banner
Ia the excitement of the moment the Demo
crats are likely TO hurrah for Bryan and
Sewell, but after a few days pass by and
they not only hear from the conservative
men Of their party, and what is still better
sit down and think the matter over, they
will be very apt to come to the conclusion
that mistake has been made. If they con
slider carefully they will be very apt TO dis
cover that the best way to follow the lead of
Jefferson and Jackson is to start right away
in directly opposite course TO that in which
Tilhnan and Altgeld are leading the Demo-
cratic party.

per cent has been stricken by that terrible

To add to the horrors of the situation the
cholera has made its appearance, threatening
to become epidemic at least such is the
opinion of experienced physicians. At the

estimated that Spain will be compelled to
send almost an entire new army to Cuba in

condition will tax her resources to the
sutmost.

Ir has been question Of doubt as to the
control Of the Senate in the 55th Congress,
but the table prepared by the American
Protective Tariff League shows that a Re
publican majority is assured. In Ohio and
Maryland Republicans have already been
elected. New York, Wisconsin, Indiana and
Illinois are also counted upon as sure, while
Kansas, South Dakota and Missouri are
counted as probable. Counting the four first
mentioned as sure and letting the vacancies
in Kentucky and Delaware balance each
other, the new Senate would stand, Repub-
licans so, combined opposition 10. This com
putation takes no account Of the Silver
Senators who are counted with the opposition
so that the Republicans are sure of a
majority Of 2 and possibly 10 votes.

A DESPERATE CONVICT.



TRENTON, July t5.-John Monnhan,
convict in the New Jersey state prison,
made desperate attack on his keepers
with knife yesterday. Captain William
II. Hensing, acting center keeper, WIS
gashed in the throat, and Clerk Thomas
b. Madden was cut severely on both hands
Their wounds will not result seriously
Monahau has served three and "A hnlf
years of five years sentence for assault
and battery. He had for some time been
suspected of carrying knife, and while
he was exercising in the jail yard yester-
day his cell was searched. The weapon
WIS not found, and when Monnhan was
brought back 70 his cell Captain Hensng
ordered him to stand in the center" with
his face to the wall. Then he said you
have something l want" Monahan turned
quickly md answered that he had knife
and that he was going to use it to cut out
Henslng' heart With that he lunged at
the keeper, who is u much smaller man
than the convict, and cut deep cash in
his throat Madden ran TO the rescue land
seizing Monahan from behind threw him
TO the floor. The convict wildly swung
his knife and inflicted the wounds upon
Madden
Other deputies came TO the assistance of
the Keepers, and Monahan was secured
and locked in "A dungeon. To get the knife
from him it was necessary to pry open his
hand with a stick. The convict has been
acting strangely Of late, and an inquest
into his sanity will be held. If he is proved
sane complaint will be made to the Mer-
Ger county grand jury and he will be in
dicted for atrocious assault and battery
with intent to kill.

ForeIeners in Cuba Must Register.

HAVANA, July 15 - Captain General
Weyler has issued decree that all foreign
ers in the island are to register in IA special
book in the governments charge previous
to their being justified in appealing to
Article VIII Of the decree relative to for
eign citizenship Of November, 1884. Those
not registering within thirty days, Cap
tain General Weyler says, will lose their
privileges and rights as foreigners All
consuls have been notified of this act The
reason given for issuing this decree is that
native Cubans are taking advantage of
the rights accorded to foreign citizens to
escape penalties which they lay themselves
liable TO.
