IT is AMUSING.
No Second Place Will Be Accepted for Mr.
Reed on National Ticket

Washington. April 2S.-The published
story to the effect that Speaker Reed
might agree to take second place on a
ticket with Mckinley, is amusing
rather than serious for the adherents
of the man from Maine. j. H. Manley
of Maine. who was at the Capitol yes
terday, denied that there was any
truth in the report
There is absolutely nothing in it. .
said Mr. Manley. Mr.. Reed will not
take second place on the ticket with
the Vice President of the United
States. When l was in St. Louis it was
suggested to me that it would be a
good thing for man like Mr. Reed To
be in the chair of the Vice President
and revolutioniZe the customs and
rules of the Senate.
Il told those who suggested ii that
unfortunately for their theory. the
Senate was differently constituted and
the rules of the one body could not be
made to apply to the other through
the mere ruling of the presiding Off
Ger. l very much doubt if Mr.. Reed or
any other man, will ever be able,
single-handed and alone, to change
the rules of the Senate.
The story has no foundation in fact.
Mr.. Reed is a candidate for the Presi-
dental nomination at st. louis, and
nothing else. You may make this
statement with such emphasis that it
cannot be misunderstood"

The trust" said the committee, lis

the Ice Trust promises to cheat them

the ice houses on the schOoners from

is an outrage.
We know we have the sympathy of

pound after there has been a shrink

A REPRIEvE
To Be Asked for Convicted
Murderer H. n. Holmes. s
Intimates That He Will Disclose His
Murderous Associates.
Lawyer Bullock Hints That End Of Hatch
Story is Coming.

Philadelphia. April 2S.-Lawyer Bull
lock of indianapolis. who il in this city
IN the interest of H. H. Holmes, the
convicted murderer of Benz. F. Pitezel,
sentenced to be hanged. May Z, today,
admitted that a rcprieve would be an
piled for.
One of the principal reasons, the at
torney said, for asking for a reprieve,
is that Holmes has become tired Of
standing alone in the punishment for
his crimes. and if the government
could be induced to grant him q brief
respite. he would divulge the names Of
several men who aided him in the kill
ing of so many persons
Mr.. Bullock refused to mention the
name of any one equally guilty with
Holmes. but he rather fnysferiously in
timated that the end of the Hatch
story was about to be reached.
You can rest assured" he continued,
that there is strong card yet to be
played. Even if the Governor should
refuse to intercede, there are other
openings through which Holmes can be
saved from the gallOws, until he has
explained fully his connection with the
several crimes to which he has con-
fessed.''
This evening. Coroner Castor of In
dianapolis, ana Lawyer Bullock will
have conference with Holmes. They
made several attempts to reach
Holmes. yesterday afternoon, but per-
mission was not granted them to enter
the prison until today.
