The case ,of Louis Stern OF New York,
who forfeited his bail of 10000 marks un-
der convictions of having insulted Baron
Won Thuengen. deputy commissioner OF
the Spa at Kissingen, last summer, has oc-
cupied great deal of attention since the
publication of the correspondence on the
subject which passed between Baron Won
Thielman, the German En- bassador at
Washington, and Hon. Richard Olney,
Secretary of State. The home papers have
assumed that the publication OF the CORE
spondence was due to Mr.. Olney for the
purpose of causing inconvenience to Baron
Won ThieIman and bringing about his re-
tirement, but it has not occurred TO them
that the pcndence was published in
the ordinary course of things, with no pos:
sible bias behind its appearance apart
from the utterances of an irresponsible
press.
The position entertained in the Foreign
Office is that Stern did not exhaust the
ordinary legal means at his disposal to
obtain reversal of his sentence and that
he asked the State Department to inter-
fere in his case before he had gone to the
end of his legal resources. thus causing
trouble ali around which could have been
averted.
DIR. Chrysander, Prince Bismarck
physician, .has informed the Silesian de-
putation, who has arranged to call upon
the ex-Chancellor and pay their respects

Prince is such as to render it desirable
that the reception of the deputation be
postponed. The dates of the reception
has therefore been fixed for June 6.
Mrs. Edwin Uhl, wife of the United
States ambassador, is about to begin a
series of receptions, which will be held
at her residence in Thiergarten Strasse.
The Emperor has telegraphed the Gar
a message of sympathy and sorrow at the
unfortunate disaster upon the occasion of
the fete upon the Hodynsky Plain at
Moscow yesterday when upward of a
thousand men, women and children were
crushed TO death.
A meeting of the German Colonial So
ciety was held yesterday at which it was
resolved to petition the Reichstag to grant
credits for an increase in the strength OF
the navy upon the ground that the navy
as it is at present constituted is inadequate
to protect the expansion of the German
colonial possessions.
Prince George of Cumberland, son of the
Duke of Cum berland, who recently under

NEW YORK, N. Y, May 31.-The New

FROM its cores ondents throughout the
Union to the following set of questions:

In summing up the situation the Times
says:
The replies show that the results of the con-

complexion of the Chicago convention. The

Dakota. In these contests will be found the
balance of power. Neither the gold nor the
silver men can secure two-thirds of the dele

1t may be safely predicted that the Demo-
cratic convention will not straddle the tinan-
cial issue. Everything indicates that IL will

In almost every State the issue has been made
between the silver men and the gold men.
Moreover, the Democrats will recognize the
financial issue as paramount in the coming
campaign. With them the tariff has become
of secondary importance.
1t is doubtful If there will be bolt of anv
considerable dimensions from the National
Democratic Convention. AS 10 the silver men,
they have announced their determination to
nominate an independent candidate if neither
party dominates silver man.

TESTIMONIAL.

The Edw. w. joy Company-Gentle-
men: For almost year past have been
troubled with pains in my back and side
from liver and kidney trouble; also head
aches, especially in the morning. 1 was
attracted toward joys Vegetable Sarsa-
parilia by the startling testimonials in the
daily papers, and, although preiudiced
against such things generally, the testi-
monials seemed SO practical that was in
duced to try it, knowing that If it was
purely vegetable it could at any rate DO
me no harm. After taking the second
bottle my aches and pains disappeared and
l felt like a new man, and am still taking
the medicine, as it is very pleasant to take
and acts as gentle laxative. 1 cannot
recommend it too highly. Yours truly,

Patterson Says Kentucky Is Notc ia tn
Republican Column


Republican COlumn.
LOUISVILLE, KY, May 81. The
Courier-Journal in an editorial to be pub
lished tomorrow, throws up both hands
as far as future Democratic success in Ken
tucky is concerned. 1t says the State is
from now on in the Republican column.
The editorial in part says:
''They (the Democrats) have repudiated
the only President the Democratic party
has elected and seated for fifty years.
They have repudiated the most dis
tinguished of Kentucky's living sons and
the greatest Democratic intellect in the
United States. They have spit upon the
fathers of the party whose name and
Jefferson an ignoramus, Jackson a con-
spirator, Benton knave and Cleveland a
traitor.
For the faith handed down through
hundred years of glorious party history
they have substituted fad rejected by
every intelligent civilization on the globe,
and for the opponents of that faith they
have substituted such apostles of popu-
hsm as Stewart such exhorters of social
ism as Tillman, evangelist of anarchism
as Altgeld.
Saturdays work makes Kentucky Re-
publican for years. Before Saturday
Bradleyism was dead, but Saturday made
it possible for any Republican to carry
Kentucky over party which binds itself
to the corpse of free .silverism. The one
thing now for tne Kentucky Democracy is
that the Chicago convention shall not
ratify its stupeDdous blunder, and that
chance seems all too remote"

The third event of the day was the
shoot for the individual cham pionship of
the California Inanimate Target Associa-
ton. Sensaboy broke 20 straight birds
and took the championship medal. Chick
took the second prize of SIS, and Heidel-
Hauxhurst OF Stockton made fine
showing in all of the shoots, as did Frank
Merrill, the youthful mem Der of the
Stockton Athletic Association team. In
the team shoot yesterday for the Overland
trophy he MADE 20 straight birds, and In
the snoot-off to-day made another run OF
20. The best all-around shooting was
done by Shell OF the San Joaquin Valley
Gun Club who took away more money
mo
grounds.
The honors of to-day's shoot were di-
vided between Tanning of the Olympics,
who did frst-class work; Shell of Visalia,
Trombone Of the Reliance Club, Frank
Merrill OF the Stockton Athletic Assocla-
ton and Sensaboy of VisaIia. from bone
of the Reliance Club did great work with
his Winchester and made some clean
scores. He thinks that he was defrauded
out OF one bird ana that he should have
been given tie with Sensaboy Tor the in
dlVldual championship of the State. Last
year he was the winner of this medal.
On the whole the tournament was well
managed and the committee, headed by
Charles Haas of this City and President
Allen and Secretary Schaefer of the asso-
c1atlon, deserves great credit for the man
ner in which it arranged to accommodate
the crowds of shooters who have faced the
traps Tor the past few days. Never before
in the history OF trap-shooting in this
State were there so many entries as in the
tournament that closed this evening, and
there has never been meeting. OF the men
who break bluerocks that was as success
fully conducted as this shoot of the Cali
fornia Illuminate Target Association that
has Just ended.
The club members who remained in town
sat down to a banquet in the Yosemite
Hotel Tonight. They were a merry
throng, anu there was not one who left
Stockton but who was well pleased with
the two days of sport in this city.

The Stceepfna Victory of Free Coinage
Men ia Kentucky.

Men ia kentucky.
LEXINGTON, KY, May 31.-The free
silver leaders are jubilant to-day over their
sweeping victory throughout the State
yesterday. Accurate figures on returns
from the entire State show $40 free coinage
delegates to the Democratic State Conven-
ton. against 240 for gold. The silver men
carried every Congressional district in the
State except the Fifth, which is the Louis
vile district. The western end of the
State, including the First, Second, Third
and Fourth districts, did not send single
sound money delegate, and for that reason
the leaders, who have consulted with Sem
ator Blackburn, think it will be proper to
make Western Kentucky man chairman
of the convention. The choice will prob
ably fall between ex-Congressman Good
night of the Third District and Congress
man Stone of the First.
Senator Blackburn is DISPOSED to be-
magnanimous. He said tonight: This
Is no time for quarreling. The success of
the Democratic party ought now to be the
aim of every true Democrat. We have
fought good fight and we have won. We
ought not to say an unklnd word of our
late opponents, nor censure those who
came to us at the eleventh hour
Inc trends OF Carlisle and Cleveland are
not so easily propitiated, for they say they
Will not vote for free-silver candidate for
PRESIDENT They openly avow their pref
erence for Mckinley or any other Repub-
Ican for President over a silver Democrat
running on a free-silver platform.
Senator Blackburn will probably be
made temporary chairman of the conven-
ton Wednesday. He is in splendid spirits
tonight over his victory, and has received
hundreds L,l OF congratulatory kilograms from
all over the Union.
