MurphY Reinstated.

Baltimore, Feb. 1.-The National As sembly of the League of American Wheel men got down to hard work at the Royal Arcanum hall today, and succeeded in disposng of considerable important mat ter. First in importance was the election of officers this afternoon, in which Ster- ling Elliott of Massachusetts gained the victory over his only competitor, Archi- bald C. Willison of Maryland, who was a candidate for reelection. Later in the day the convention passed on the respec- five claims of Louisville and Toledo for the honor of entertaining the pedalers in their midsummer meet, in which Louis vile won.

SPORTING EVENTS.
Stuart Says He Will Pull Off the Fight if It Breaks Him-The Stakeholder Is
 Sick.

Fl Paso, Tex, Feb. 11.-Some excite ment was created shortly before noon by delegation from the Ministers union taking passage on a street car across the Rio Grande. It was learned that they ex- pected an audience with Governor Anu mada of the state of Chihuahua at Cuidad Juarez, and that their object was to petition the governor to ask President Diaz to reinforce the gendarmerie by a detachment of troops from the City of Mexico.
 Capt. James Lawler, the final stake holder, Is seriously ill with pneumonia, and another stakeholder will be selected. The opinion prevails that Referee George Shiler will be chosen stakeholder. J-~-.n l.. Sullivan and Paddy Ryan are expect ed here tomorrow morning, and prepara- tions are being made to give them rous- ing welcome. Dan Stuart said that de- spite all statements to the contrary the fights would take place according to pro gramme if it left him without a dollar Fitzsimmons, Collins, Wolcott and Dixon took a ten-mile spin down the road this morning, and on their return to the train ing headquarters were found to be in perfect condition. Maher sent word from Las Cruces today that he had quit train ing, and was ready to come here at a. mo- menfs notice. The betting here is very slow, and is even up, Maher and Fitzsim- mons having an equal number of wealthy admirers.
 United States Marshal Hall of Santa Fe is here and declares that there is no possibility of the fights taking place in the territory of New Mexico, and that he has the deputies to back him if necessary. The committee from the Ministers asso- citation had an audience with Governor Ahumada this afternoon. The ministers seem satisfied with the governors assu- l,,,t a. tion A committee of prominent citizens from Juarez and Fl Paso was waiting to see the governor when the ministers re- tired.

MIR. CLARKE IN SELMA.
He Has Changed His Opinion of MT. Cleveland Since He Saw Gene raI Pettus in
 1892.

Selma, Feb. 11.-(Special)- )-Mr. Clarke came and delivered his little speech and Selma still survives. A magnificent audi ence greeted him, but not as large as the one which greeted him two years ago when he made his canvass for Governor Oates. The audience was about equally divided between Johnston and Clarke men, while a good many ladies were out He opened his speech by paying splen- did tribute to the black belt democracy, telling what they had done to redeem Ala bama from republican rule. He forgot, however to state that Joe Johnston was the leader, the marshal of the brave boys In the trenches that did so much to re- deem our beloved state from negro rule. A great part of MT. Clarke's speech was devoted to Captain Johnston and the State Herald. He held the captain re- sponsible for every utterance of that pa- per. and claimed that both Jefferson and Dallas would go for him.
 He said that Captain Johnston showed his weakness in having to canvass Jeffer son, and that he had at least succeeded in making a better democrat out of Cap tain Johnston, for he had ceased to abuse the president. As MT. Clarke stood there and praised MT. Cleveland for all that was brave and patriotic, manly and true, one could but think that may be General Pettus was mistaken when he heard MT. Clarke say just before Cleveland's nomi- nation at Chicago: "Gentlemen, give us a democrat; for Gods sake done give us a G. d. mugwump!'
 Tonight MT. Clarke said that Cleveland was the greatest democrat since 'Old Hickory's" day, and censured the demo- cratic congress for shooting their general, Grover Cleveland, in the back. He said that congress ought to have sustained him, 1t matters not what were his views. One of MT. Clarkes warmest supporters slept through the entire speech. He had confidence in MT. Clarke, and just went to swell tha crowd

Efforts to Secure AutOn-
Omy for the CubanS.
Will Be Continued by Cleye-
land Administration.
Spain Wants a New Treaty-News
From Scene Of Hostilities.

Washington, Dec. 24--Whatever course
congress may finally take with respect
to the Cameron S,soution the insistent
efforts of the present administration, at
least. will continue 10 be exerted in be-
half of an autonomous government for
the Cubans. During the correspondence
between this government and Spain the
Canadien system has repeatedly been re-
ferred 10 as a model which Spain might
do well to follow in granting home rule
to her Cuban colonists. The objection,
however. has been made, and with some
reason, il is admitted. that a system
which would work admirably with her
majesty's subjects in Canada might
utterly fail If applied to the Cubans.
That Spain has intimated that, under
certain conditions. she would not be
averse TO granting reasonable measure
Of home rude to the Cubans is beyond
question. She, however, insists that
nothing less than disastrous defeat in
battle will cause the insurgents to heed
such propositions, and 1t is regarded in
Madrid as useless to attempt any OF the
reforms suggested until Weyler strikes
a decisive blow.
This government, however, does not
idiiJ dSltG with tlittl NitN ol lilt ttLSt,
and undoubtedly IL Is making some
progress in its contention for peace on a
basis alike reasonable and honorable TO
the Cubans. as well as TO Spain. one of
the principal motives which has actuated
this government in the course il has
taken in this matter Is the protection OF
the persons and property Of citizens of
the United States now engaged as to-
bacco and sugar planters in Cuba. AL
though the planters generally are said
TO sympathiZe with the Cuban cause,
information has reached this govern
ment that as rule they entertain serious
doubts OF the ability OF the native Gu
bans. If wholly successful, TO maintain
stable and satisfactory government.
What the planters most desire is annexa-
tion to the United States, but as the ad-
ministration, as plainly made evident.
regards this as out of the question, the
planters next favor an autonomous gov
ernment under the executive supervision
of Spain. Should Spain consent to al
low Cuba to legisate as to her own in
ternal affairs, the United States, as
stated by Mr. Olney In his report TO con-
sress. would consent to become respon-
sibie to Spain for the faithful observance
OF the conditions OF the treaty between
the two countries. The idea OF this gov
ernment Is that this agreement could be
made a part OF new treaty between the
United States and Spain. the necessity
for which is admitted by both govern
nients. The Spanish authorities, il can
be stated, share the feeling strongly en-
tertained by the United States. that the
present treaty has long outlived its USE
fulness.

A Joke On OTIS Harlan.

While walking along the Champs Elysees,
Paris, last summer, Otis Harlan was ap-
preached by q well dressed man, who said
to him, How 10 you DO, NTr. HarIany'
1t was such a pleasure TO hear his native
language spoken that Harlan Praspcd tho
strangers hand warmly. Many familiar
resorts in New York were spoken of by
the stranger, and Harlan, while not recog-
nizing him, thought he must have known
the man. Harlan finally observed, Par
don me; but l have such n poor memory
for names and have forgotten yours. -
The man told him, and they continued
their walk AS they were about to part,
Harlan invited his affable companion to
dine at his hotel, where he was introduced
to several friends. After Harlan's return
to New York he stepped into tho barber
shop of one OF the hotels. The barber pros
emily said to tho actor:
"IIow did you enjoy your stay in Paris,
Mr. Hnrlan?"
"Oh, very much, very much" replied
the actor, glad of the opportunity to talk
about beautiful "Parec."
"Do you know, said tho barber, "that
shc night dlnod and went TO tho opera
with yen vas the jolliest timo I had
abroadf"
And so IL may have been for the barber,
but tho story in some way leaked out, and
Harlan sometimes regrets his Paris visit.
