WASHINGTON, April il6.-Secretary Car.
Isle Sunday evening gave out the fol-
lowing letter to Chairman Long, of the
democratic state central committee Of |
Kentucky, declining to enter the con-
test for the democratic nomination for
the presidency:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT., OFFICE OF
THE SECRETARY,
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 4, 1895.
Chas. r. Long, Esq, chairman demo-
cratic state central committee, Louis
vile, KY:
MY DEAR SIR:-Your favor of March
30, In which you say in substance that
many of my friends in Kentucky and
elsewhere desire me to become a candi-
date before the approaching national
democratic convention for nomination
for the Office of president and request
ing me to give 'some authoritative or
definite expression" upon the subject,
was duly received and has been ma
turely considered.
Many communications upon the same
subject and of similar import, have
been received from friends in different
parts of the country, and while very
grateful for these numerous expressions
of confidence and esteem upon the part
of my democratic fellow citizens, have
not been able to reach the conclusion
that the existing conditions require me
to comply with their requirements by
authorizing them to announce me
rs q candidate for the presiden-
tial nomination. While 1 feel pro-
found interest in the welfare of my
party am much more concerned about
its declaration of principles than in its
selection of candidates, because, in my
opinion, its failure or success at the
election, as well as its capacity for USE
, ful service to the country in the future
depend upon the position it takes or
omits to take upon the public questions
now engaging the attention of the peo-
pie, and especially the questions affect
ing the monetary system of the coun-
| try and the character and amount of
taxation to be imposed on our citizens.
| Its position upon these and other
subjects had been agreed upon, and
clearly and distinctly announced, the
! convention ought to have no difficulty
in selecting an acceptable candidate
who would fairly represent its views;
and in order that it's deliberations may
be embarrassed as little as possible by
the contentious Of rival aspirants and
their friends, 1 think my duty to the
party will be best performed by declin-
ing to participate in contest for the
nomination.
The obligations assumed when l ao-
cepted my present official position re-
quire me to devote my entire time and
attention to the public interests COM
mitted to my charge, and l shall have
to continue the discharge of my duty,
as imposed upon me, to the best of my
ability, End in such manner as will
in my judgment most certainly
promote the true interests Of
the country; and, if the opinion
of my fellow democrats in
Kentucky my services entitle me to
their commerdation and approval,
would regard their Endorsement of my
public course as an ample reward for
the little have been able to accom-
plish in behalf of honest administration
and a sound financial policy.
With many thanks for your kind let
ter, am, very truly yours.
j. G. CARLISLE.

piece of needle in the foot of seven
year-old Rachel Newell, of East Liver
pool, O., was ascertained, and In less
than minute after the first incision,
the needle was found, placed exactly
rs in the photograph. The operation
lasted so seconds.
While Rachel was running about .
room five weeks ago her foot struck q
needle, and about q quarter of an inch
of the steel ran into the ball of the
foot. Acute irritation set in and the
foot swelled to twice its natutal size.
Frequent probings were made, but the
steel could not be located.

Boise, April 4.-The supreme court
decided the case of f. NJ Conger VS..
the Latah commissioners, Judge Piper
being reversed. The members of the
board had individually asked w. H.
Clagett to assist the prosecution in the

ton of the board and Judge Piper sus-
tanned the latter. The supreme court
holds that in such a case the commits
sioners must act as body, their action
being made matter of record. The
issuance of the warrant was therefore
illegal.

Piper's action in granting a new trial

GREAT ALARM AT MAFEKING
Fleeing Farmers Say the Natives Are
Preparing for an Uprising.

Cape Town, April San alarm prevails
at Mafeking, and the farmers in the out
lying districts are bringing their fami-
lies into town. They declare the natives
are preparing to rise on account of the
discomfort aroused among them by the
slaughter of their cattle in the effort
to stamp out the destructive rinder pest.
This cattle disease has been creating
great havoc among the herds of Transvaal
and Rhodesia.
Mafeking is situated on the northwest
ern border of Cape Colony, with the
Transvaal adjoining it on the east 1t is
the point from which Jameson's raiders
set out for johannesburg. 1t is also the
point from which Sir Hercules Robinson,
governor of Cape Colony, last week dis
patched force of 500 British troops to
assist in putting down the Matatbele up
rising.
The present outbreak of discomfort can
hardly be the result of race sympathy
with the Matabelelands. If it has any
connection with the Matabele revolt it
must be through the melting agent being
the same.
