But the Populists Hare Not Yet selected

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 7.-Senator
PETER left for Washington this afternoon.
In an interview he said:
GAS to the Presidential situation among
Populists, it is quite as chaotic as that of
either of the other parties. We are beset
with peculiar conditions. We are expect
ing recruits from the dissatisfied members
of the other parties by reason particularly
of the dissensions there in respect to silver
coinage.
"These probable accessions depend, of
course, upon the action of their party con-
ventions on the money question. In case
we should receive large concessions from
that direction, the new men would be en-
titled to be heard in our party councils. l
can say safely just now that Populists will
not be likely to support any candidate who
is not openly and avowedly with US upon
all matters which we regard as funda-
mental. They will not follow the lead of
any man whose platform contains no
more than the silver plank.
personally, l incline strongly to the
opinion that Governor Holcomb of Ne
braska would make an acceptable and a
strong candidate. This l say without any
personal knowledge concerning the Gov
ernor's feelings in the matter"

SANTA CLARA'S FORTUNE,
Fruit Uninjured by the Recent

Results of an Investigation Con.
Quoted by Horticultural Com.
missioner EhrhOrn.

SAN JOSE, CAL, March 7.-Horticul-
tural Commissioner Ehrhorn, in discuss
ing the effect upon fruit of the cold weather
during the recent storm, said that he had
made careful and extensive Investigations
of orchards in various sections of the val
ley, and that not the slightest injury had
been done the growing fruit crop in Santa
Clara Valley. He said:
AT the present time the peach, almond
and apricot blossoms are out in perfect
and thrifty condition. On some I noticed
only slight effect on the outer petals, but
the interior was as free from frost as if
none had appeared. The prune and the
cherry crops are not far enough advanced
yet to be at all subject to frost, and for
that reason there is no occasion for alarm
as to those trees.
"From various fruit centers along the
eastern and western sides of the valley
have received reports from the leading
growers, and they concur with what
have ascertained by my actual investiga-
tion. found that at Z o'clock each morn.
ing during the cold snap the thermometer
registered SO degrees, which shows
that the frost hadn't prevailed long
enough to have had any serious effect"

Tactics of Some of the Republi

TROUBLE CAUSED BY a FAKE"
An Announcement Sent Out by the
Chicago Associated Press Imposed
Upon Statesmen.

FRANKFORT, KY, March 1.-Two
ballots were to-day taken for United
States Senator by the joint legislative ses-
sion and they resulted as follows: First
ballot-Blackburn, 50; Boyle, So; Carlisle,
5. Second ballot-Blackburn 49; Carlisle,

Horse play" on the part of the Republi-
can member before the session was called
to order was INDUCED in. The balloting
proceeded without incident until Irving
tons name was called. He again voted
Tor Blackburn and report was circulated
that Poor would vote with him, but he
stuck to Petit. After the ballot was COM
pleted, Poor arose before the result was
announced and changed his vote for
Blackburn amid cheers. a stampede of
the Carlisle men at once went TO Black
burn and. one by one, Elliston, Smith,
Holloway, Noe and other boiling sound
money men began to come to Blackburn
amid the widest excitement.
The Republicans were plainly discon-
certed as one by one the most violent anti
Blackburn Democrats began to fall into
line for him. To stop the stampede the
Republicans, led by Senator James, began
TO vote for Carlisle. In the midst of the
terrible din Representative Lyons of New
port, perched upon a chair, declared that
if the Republicans tried to elect Carlisle
he would vote for Blackburn.
The House and galleries went wild. DR..
Chamber of kenton, seeing Blackburn's
election in sight, demanded vote, though
paired with Senator Weissinger, and al
most riot resulted. The sergeant-at-arms
was ordered to clear the galleries in order
to restore quiet. The chair finally obtained
order and announced the ballot, which the
clerks had footed up during the confusion.
Howard moved to adjourn, but the mo-
ton was lost.
The second ballot started off as harm
lessly as the first. The Republicans de-
clined to vote, and the original Carlisle
Democrats went back to him. On the
second ballot enough Republicans re-
Trained from voting to break a quorum,
and n otion to adjourn was carried.
pr Blackburn was the most sur
priseg nan in all Kentucky this evening
when notified of his election through con-
gratularory kilograms from friends in
every direction. No one here could under
stand how such report originated until,
after investigation, it developed that the

NEW YORK, N. Y. March IA special
cable dispatch to the Herald from Mana
qua, Nicaragua, says that Francisco Boca,
President OF the Revolutionary Govern
ment, has deserted and that he held Gen.
erai Ortiz responsible for the terrible de-

SPAIwS Dis0RDERLY STUDENTS.
One Crowd Enters Church During Devo-
tons and Shouts death to
the Yankees"

MADRID, SPAIN, March THE stu
dents of the university at Saragoza to-day
entered a church which was filled with
ladies at their devotions, and shouted
"Viya Espania" and death to the Yam
kees!"
Their actions for time created panic,
and most OF the ladies left the church with
all possible speed. There was excitement
in the streets throughout the day. The
Governor of the province, the Mayor of the
town and the rector Of the university mixed
with the groups of excited people and tried
their best to calm them.
Gendarmes are now patrOlling the
streets and all public buildings are strong
ly guarded. A strong guard is stationed
aoout the American consulate at Cadiz.
To-day a number of medical students
hooted and stoned the gendarmes guard
ing the building. The latter charged upon
the mob and soon scattered it.
The Queen Regent drove to church this
afternoon. Crowds lined the streets
through which she passed and loudly
cheered her. The greatest enthusiasm was
manifested. General Azcaraga, Minister
of War. has received from an English
gentleman an offer to supply 10000 ex-
soldiers for the Spanish service on condi-
ton that he himself be given the COM
mand of them.
BILBOA, SPAIN, March IA manifes-
tation of the popular feeling occurred at
the Eden Theater in this city tonight.
During the performance the French and
Spanish flags were displayed, causing the
widest enthusiasm, and vivas for a
France-Spanish alliance were repeatedly
and heartily given.
MALAGA, SPAIN, March THE sailors
of the French warship Drome, at this
port, paraded the streets to-day singing
the Spanish national anthem and the
"Marseillaise," and cheering for both
France and Spain.

agent of the De Beers Mining Company
here; and Gardner Williams Gan Ameri-
can), general manager of the De Beers
Mining Company at Kimb berly, upon the
charge Of removing arms without license,
says:
1.-TWO thousand guns were sent to the

that were imported for use in the Mata-
belle war and were not used. They have
remained here ever since. The guns were
forwarded openly by Rutherford on behalf
of the British South Africa Company.
They were consigned to Williams and the

with telegraph news, reported yesterday
that Premier Crispi had been stabbed to

which the Chronicles contemporaries have

the assassination of President Cleveland,
the capture of Havana by the Cubans, and
the winning of the first of the America

To-day the Associated Press adds to its
long list of blunders by falsely announc-
ing the election of Senator Blackburn of
Kentucky"
CHICAGO, I'LL, March 7.-Newsboys
filled the downtown streets this afternoon
with cries of "All about Blackburn
elected" All the papers which rely on
the Chicago Associated Press for news
gave much space to the supposed Demo-
cratic victory in the Kentucky Legisla-
ture. The jublation of the Democrats,
notably those from Kentucky, who lived
here, was short lived, however, for they
learned through private dispatches from
the scene OF the deadlock as well as from
the United Press dispatch that it was an
other glaring example of idiotic taking on
the part of the alleged Chicago news or
ganization on a par with the sevenfold
stabbing of Premier Crispi. One of the
duped afternoon papers, however. printed
the Blackburn fake in two of its editions.
In this case there was not even the subter-
fuge of sit is rumored'' to fall back on in
case of necessity. There was outspoken
denunciation of both the Crispi and Black
burn fakes among newspaper readers in

Thursday, June 5, was fixed for the date
of the convention and Macon as the place.
a letter from Congressman Crisp was pre-
sented to the committee, suggesting that
he would like to have the Democratic
masses vote on the question of Senatorial
nomination for the Senate in approaching
primaries. A resolution was adopted
which in effect refers the matter of Sena-

WASHINGTON, D. c., March MEM
bers of Congress in both houses were i'm
posed upon this afternoon cruelty by the
Chicago Associated Press, which issued a
bulletin a few minutes after O'Clock an
nouncing the election of Senator Joe
Blackburn, by the Kentucky Legislature,
to succeed himself for the term which ex-
pires March 4 next. About twenty
minutes after 2 O'Clock this afternoon
every one about the Capitol was surprised
by messenge boys of the Associated Press
scurrying through the corridors and into
committee rooms exhibiting bulletin
under the caption of "The Associated
Press" announcing the foregoing startling
result. but without particulars. The news
spread like wildfre, and the Associated
Press believed it had scored distinct
triumph over the United Press, which
issued no bulletin.
A bulletin with this fake news was sent
into the room Of the Senate Committee on
Pacific Railroads that was then hearing
G. 2. Huntington. Senator Morgan ex-
pressed his qualification at the announce
ment, and Senator Stewart, the free-silver-
ite interrupted the proceedings by leaning
back in his chair and laughing heartily
over what he believed must be tho dis
comfture of the administration over the
result of the election of the Kentucky
champion of free coinage.
Senator Harris of Tennessee and Senator
Bacon of Georgia, and Colonel Bright, the
sergeant-at-arms of the Senate, and all
the silver men read the news from one of
these alleged bulletins and Immediately
went into ecstacies over it. Wherever a
Senator could be found he was promptly
notified of this great news through the
"enterprise" of the Chicago association.
Representative McCreary of Kentucky
was startled when he was handed piece
of the iimsy paper containing the intelli-
pence that announced the defeat of the
administra tion's desire for hard-money
Democrat The silence of the United Press
was so orninous that Senators soon began
to send to that association to corroberate
the 'news." 1t was then discovered that
the news was as pure piece OF taking as
has been exhibited to the country, even by
that Chicago association.
Senator Harris was vigorous in his de-
nupciation of the conduct of the assocla-
tion that circulated the report, and other
senators Q6CIdItQ tliCli NiooPPAO'oA Va
such business methods. Silver Senators,
who were thus disillusioned of their hopes,
were severe in their condemnation.
One Senator who has been longing for
the reelection of Mr.. Blackburn, and who
was thrown into despair by the correction
of the alleged news, recalled the fact that
it was clear day throughout the country,
and the association that INDUCED IN this
pleasantly at the expense OF the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans everywhere could
not plead the existence of fog and their
inability to see the yachts, as they ala
when tney bulletined that now famoas
piece of news that the Valkyrle LII mad
won the race for the America cup.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March THE Chroni-
Gle in an editorial to-day says:
"The Chicago Associated Press, which
