Col. J. NJ. Wilson received a telegram
from Wakefield, Va, this morning saying
that the shaft Of the monument to mark
the birthplace of Washington was put into
position yesterday, and that the monument
itself is now complete, without q single
flaw or biemish. He will make a visit to
Wakefield in day or so to personally in
spect the work before accepting it from the
contractors, John Crawford & Sons of Buf-
falo. The obelisk will be protected by an
iron. sharp-pointed fence, eight feet high
and thirty-six feet square. within which
there will be space twelve feet from each
side of the base, which will be sodded and
parked. No arrangements have been made
for the dedication of the monument That
Is a question for the determination of the
Secretary OF State, who is charged with the
disbursement of the fund for the erection
Of the monument. Representative Jones'
whose district includes Wakefield, has had
several conferences with him on the sub

CARLISLE AND OLNEY.
Belief That the Latter VIII Not Enter
the Presidential Race.

BSue1 That the Latter VIII Not Enter
the Presidential Race.
The Stars announcement few days ago
that Secretary Carlisle would positively be
a candidate for the democratic presidential
nc mination is confirmed from several
sources.
In answer to 4 question from q Star re-
porter this morning Representative Nc
Creary of Kentucky said:
Secretary Carlisles Kentucky friends
are very anxious that he should become
candidate, and there is strong demand
from every part of the country. I am for
him, and believe that he will allow his
Eame used. Under all the circumstances
think he is the proper man for the place,
and that he is the strongest democrat who
can be nominated"
AS stated in The Star it is expected that
a formal announcement Of the Secretarys
candidacy will be made within a short
time.
The politicians are now wondering wheth-
er Secretary Olney will also consent to
allow the use Of his name, but the opinion
seems to be that he will not enter the race
with Mr.. Carlisle in it. The opinion also
seems to be that the administration in
fuence will be exerted in behalf of the
most undivided support Of the aGministra-
tion democrats in every section of the
country.
Another question which presents itself
is this: Will Mr.. Carlisle's candidacy re-
move President Cleveland from the pos
sibilities and induce him to make some
statement putting himself out of the race?

PROTECTION THE REMEDY
One Opinion as to Why Mckinley is Getting
30 Many Delegates
1t IL Not Considered to Mark the
Personal Triumph Of q Man
Responsibility Of Success.

An experienced republican politician, in
conversation with a representative of The
Star today. said:
THE returns from the contests for dele
gates to the st. Louis convention indicate
the general tendency to look to protection
as the remedy for present ills, rather than
mark the personal triumph of a man. 1 do
not mean to say that Mr.. Mckinley as q
man is not worthy cf the highest honor
the people can bestow. On the contrary
1 regard him as one OF the cleanest and
ablest of the public men Of the day. But
look at his principal competitors. When
has better field of candidates for a pres
idential nomination ever appeared? A:r
Reed has great force and attractiveness
and Mr.. Allison and Gov. Morton are men
of marked sasacity and conservatism. If
1t were sn ordinary contest among men,
would Mr. Mckinley walk away with his
competitors as he IS now doing? By no
means. 1t Is no disparagement of him
to say that in such circumstances he would
be unable to contest a New England state
with Mr.. Reed, or take tine northwest away
from Mr.. Allison. But in the popular con-
ceptfon he embodieS the principle of pro-
lection. and that is making him invincite
The people for three years now have been
eroaning and sweating under burdens of
1everses and dfstresses. and they have
come to believe that they can only be re-
lIeved by return to a high tariff and
full treasury. Therefore the demand for
Mr. Mckinley. His is the name most prom

sen, If it is the Mckinley tariff, or its up
to-dete equivalent. that is demanded why
not put Mr.. Mckinley himself in the White
House, where, as President, he may super

On protection basis? This is the feeling
that is abroad, and it cannot be controlled

The Responsibility of Triumph.
viii not this very f1oodtide of expecta-
ticn on the part of the people make a re-
publican triumph in November If Mckin-
ley is nominated one of great responsibility
for the party?'
"A triumph of the greatest responsible
ity," was the reply. "Mr. Mckinley and
his lieutenants will have to approach the
standard, and almost perform the Deeds
of wonder workers The unrest in this
country Is really very great. The people
cannot understand it, except upon the ac-
cepted hypothesis that they made an awful
blundcr in 1892. They are urged now to
restore the former order of things, and are
promised that If they do so prosperity will
return. But, of course, it is going to take
very wise heads, operating with very great
care, to do this. The men who undertake
the job will have their hands full To bring
order out of the chaos of this administra-

The men ran upon seeing that they were

there are pending numerous complaints
He is forty-two years old, has served sew
eral terms of Imprisonment, one of fifteen
years for highway robbery, yet he has

schemes
Early in 1894 he joined BILLY" Hamil-
ton Charles Fisher and Steve Boyle in an
expedition to England. purposing whole
sale swindle of banks there. The plan had
been fomented by Fisher and Hamilton in
prison. They failed in one of their very
first ventures. Hamilton presented forged
order for check book for Adams, G:llfll
& Co., East I1d:an merchants, at the Bank
of Scotland, in London. A clerk of the
firm happened to be in the bank at the
time and Hamilton was arrested. convicted

SECRETARY LAMoNrs DENIAL.
No Letter of MIR. Cleveland's DecIlna-

No Letter of MIR. C1evelnnd's Decllna-
tiOn In His Possession.
Secretary Lamont. when asked today
concerning a published statement that he
had in his possession a letter from Presi-
dent declining to be again a candidate for
the presidency and urging the democratic
party to stand for sound money and its
previous position on the tariff question,
said that the statement was absolutely
untrue. The Secretary added: II never
have heard Of such letter." From an
other and unquestionably excellent source
of information. it is learned that the pub
lished statement is absolutely without
foundation, and that 10 such letter has
been written by the President.
The fact that President Cleveland had
fully decided not to be a candidate for
denomination and that Secretary Carlisle
would go before the Chicago convention as
an aspirant for the democratic nomination
on sound money platform, was announc-
ed exclusively By the Associated Press a
few weeks ago. but the matter has not vet
gone beyond the lines then indicated.

E'nct and Their AllaY0uce.

Secretary Morton has sent to members
of Congress n circular announcing that
seed are ready for distribution. The Sec
retary announced that there are 1900

The members are requested to send the
lists Of names of those to whom they want
the seed sent, and the department will at
tend 10 the mailing. 1t Is understood that
southern members will be given their seed
first, as the season for first planting is
now almost gone.
A number of members are dissatisfied
with the number Of papers or packages
rut in each package, and Representative
Morey this morning had resolution to
introduce requiring the Secretary to put
five packages in one, instead of fifteen.
This will give each member three thousand
packages, and will extend the list of per-

There were no further developments in
the rupture of the Union Republican Club
today. A meeting Of the new executive

will be taken regarding the present dis
turbed state of the organizations affairs
Those who are dissatisfied with the official
management of tho club, and particularly
with Secretary Emery's course in the past,
declare that the original executive commit
tee was still In existence because the resif,-
nations of its members have not been re-
ceivcd by the club, much less acted upon
There has been a desire expressed on the
part of some Of these members to remain
in the club and fight the battle for suprem-
acy there. but others on that side of the
question declare that the best thing for
them to do will be to form separate and
distinct organization, and 1t is probable
that this will be accomplished early in the

Chicago and Alton passenger train which
leaves here shortly after o'clock for st.

tive A pile of ties had beeen laid across
the track and the rails loosened. The stop
ping OF the train quickly was all that pre-
vented a. serious accident. Believing that
q train robbery had been planned, guards
were at once put out, but the train was
not molested- 1t was over an hour before
the wreck could be cleared.
1t Is thought here that robbers had cal

their purpose to loot the wreck during the
confusion which would follow. Six weeks
