CARLISLE COMMENDED.
His Action in Accord With the Dig
nifty of the Office.

LOUISVILLE, April 5.-The Courier-Jour-
nal will tomorrow publish the following edi-
torial on the letter of Secretary Carlisle, made
public tonight:
The position which Mr.. Carlisle takes Is one
entirely in accord with the dignity of the
Office Of president, and with the duties of the
office of secretary of the treasury. He de-
ination, holding that the matter of first mo-
ment is the declaration of the party's princi-
pies. He desires the Endorsement of his
services by his state, and though he does not
say so In 50 many words If his state shall
present his name to the national convention.
on a satisfactory platform, he will undoubt-
edly accept that responsibility.
This is matter Of exceptional moment at
once to the Democratic party, and to the en-
tire people of the United States. To the DEM
issue whether it is to continue to be the
party Of Jefferson, Jackson Benton and
Cleveland, or whether it is to set up strange
gods and lend the priceless prestige of its
name and history to alien faith.
To the people of the United States it is of
vital concern, for, upon the decision within
the Democratic party of the issue thus forced
upon 1t depends the one possibility that this
country shall have presidential candidate,
backed by the organized resources of either
universally conceded clear comprehension
of the nature and necessities of a sound
monetary system as indispensable to the
protection of national integrity and material
prosperity, and with a record, not of pro-
fession but of performance, in itself at this
time the only unimpeachable proof Of prac-
tical, answering and unassailable fidelity to
the principles of such a system. Kentucky
is ready. 1t needs no campaign to bring Ken
lucky to Carlisle. Let the convention be
called-the sooner the better-and the state
which took the lead for an honest tariff will
take the lead for an honest currency.

CUBA,S DAY HAS COME.
House Will Pass the Senate Reso-
lutiOns.

1ut1OnS.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-This promises to
be an exceedingly lively week in the house
Tomorrow the house will vote on the adop-
tion OF the conference report on the Cuban
resolutions, which was debated on Friday and
Saturday. 1t is. a foregone conclusion that
the report will be adopted by an overwhelm-
ing vote, but 1t is probable that there will
be more members recorded against 1t than
against the passage of the original resolu-
tion.
Immediately afterward an effort will be
made to pass the river and harbor bill under
the suspension of the rules. The bill car
ries something over So, ,OoO, 900 in actual appro-
priations, but authorizes contracts for almost
$4000O.0Oo additional. The Democrats would
like an opportunity to attack the bill because
of the enormous charge it makes upon the
treasury in the future, and they will make all
the resistance they are able to. Under the
rules, however, their opposition is not like
ly to be effectual, and moreover, there are
many features of the bill in which individual
Democrats are vitally interested When mo-
tion Is made to suspend the rules but thirty
minutes debate are allowed on a side, but it
IL Ceildin IildI al extension OF tln0 Will be
made to two or three hours.
Following the passage of the river and
halbor bill, Mr.. Picker, chairman of the in
valid pensions committee probably will call
on Tuesday one Of the general bills reported
by his committee. There are also the election
cases to be decided one of which will un-
seat Judge Cobb, of the Fifth Alabama. Nv
Wednesday it is expected that the fortif
cations bill will be completed, and it probably
will occupy the attention of the house for the
remainder of the week.
The senate will continue consideration Of
the postofice appropriations bill on Monday
taking 1t up as soon as practicable after the
conclusion of the routine morning business
1t is hoped that the day will suffice to con-
clude debate on this bill. Senator Morgan
has given notice of speech on Tuesday on
the Pacific railroad refunding question. and
probably will consume the greater part of
the day. The question is one to which the
senator has given a great deal of attention
ard on which he has accumulated vast
amount of information. He will speak in
support of his resolution outlining a bill
and in opposition to the-bill under consid-
Grafton by the Joint subcommittee Of the two
houses. The remainder of the week will be
given up largely to the Indian appropriation
bill. This measure contains several features
which are certain to develop controversy. the
principal one of which is the provision for
the discontinuances of the sectarian schools

FREAKS sTAMPEDED.
Panic in "a Dime Museum Caused by
Fire,


CHICAGO, April 5.-A fire. which bore a
very threatening aspect for a time, and Gre
ated a panic, broke out this afternoon in a
Clark street dime museum. 1t being Easter
Sunday, the small theaters in the building
were entertaining audiences of more than the
usual proportions, at least 900 persons, who
occupied every available space being pres
ent. The audiences at once made a rush for
the doors, and for a time pandemonium
reigned. The stage manager, Charles Bell
took commanding position, and urged the
people not to lose their heads, and to his
coolness and self-possession is due the fact
that the patrons finally escaped without in
jury.
The widest confusion, however, prevailed
among the freaks and stage performers, but
all escaped without injury, many of the actors
running into the streets in their stage attire.
Probably the greatest excitement attending
the fire was caused by an incident that hap
pened on the third floor, where a collection
OF huge snakes was on exhibition. Among
this collection was boaconstrictor twenty
feet in length. A female snake charmer had
charge of the reptiles, and when the fire
broke out she ATTEMPTED to place them in a
box. Calling for assistance, stranger climb
ed into the cage and offered to help capture
the snakes. He picked the largest one up
by the neck, and no sooner had he done so
than the snake, recognizing it was In the
hands of a stranger, coiled it's huge form
about the mans arm. The snake charmer,
realizing the mans danger, told him to keep
a firm grip on the snakes neck. A terrific
struggle then ensued, but by the combined
efforts of the fair snake charmer and the
obliging stranger the boa constructor was
finally jammed into big box and secured.
The remainder of the serpents were easily
rescued.
The blaze was hot one while it lasted,
but the fire department soon extinguished it,
with only nominal damage. The origin Of the
fire is unknown.

which lasted all these years, and although
Mr.. Turner had removed to the West and mar
ried another, his present bride waited faith
fully for the time when he would again be
free. Those who are familiar with the case
and remember of the love early plighted in
Illinois say it is the most remarkable on rec
ord Two months ago Squire Turner wrote to
Miss Gillespie. The proposition of marriage
was made and accepted without delay or cere-
meny. The happy couple are now comfortably
housed in their little cottage at Cedarville,
where they surrounded with three genera
tions of the Turner family.

There is still great deal of speculation
about the time at which the ceremony will

subject has yet been allowed to leak out.
Even the guests do not know the hour.
"You see," said Secretary Tibbets today,
"Gen. Harrison does not want q crowd to
be around the church when they go in and
out. 1t is not that he desires to make him
self exclusive, but that he does not like
Mrs. Dimmick to be subjected to the eager
gaze Of people who are not in any way in
terested in her or in him. 1t is quite a pri-
vate matter. If people knew the hour there
would be throng about the church through
which they could hardly make their way
Gen. Harrison took breakfast at the Fifth
Avenue hotel with Col. Corbin, U. S. A. He
had at luncheon Daniel Ramsdell, who was
marshal of the District of Columbia during
the Harrison administration; Lieut. Parker

HUNTER OUT FOR REVENGE.
interesting Outcome of the senn-
toriaI Contest in Ken
tuclky.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-secretary Carlisle
mas written the following letter on the SUBJ
ject of his candidacy for the presidential nom
nation at the Chicago convention:
Charles R. Long. Esq, Chairman Demo-
cratic State Central Committee, Louisyille:
Your favor of March so, in which YOU saw
In substance that many of MY friends in Ken
lucky ana elsewhere desire me to become a
candidate before the approaching national
democratic convention for the nomination for
the Office of president, and requesting me to
give some authoritative or definite express
s1on upon the subject was duly received
and has been maturely 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 ex~
presslons OF confidence and esteem upon the
part OF my Democratic fellow citizens, I
! have not been able to reach the conclusion
that the existing conditions require me to
comply with their requests by authorizing
tnem TO announce me as a candidate for the
presidential nomination. While l feel pro-
| FOUND interest in the welfare of my party I
| am much more concerned about its decIara-
tlon OF principles than in its selection Of can
| didates, because. in my opinion, it's failure
or success at the election, as we'll as its ca
pacity for useful service in 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 people, and
especially the questions affecting the none
tary system of the country and the character
and amount of taxation to be imposed upon
our citizens. Its position upon these and 9TH
er subjects having been agreed upon and
clearly and distinctly announced, the conven-
tion ought to have no difficulty in selecting an
acceptable candidate who will fairly repre-
sent its views; and, in order that it's delibera-
tions may be embarrassed as little as possi-
BILE by the contentious of rival aspirants and
their friends, think my duty to the party
will be best performed by declining to parti-
cipate in a contest for the nomination. The
obligations assumed when I accepted my
present official position require me to devote
my entire time and attention to the public
interests committed to my charge, and l shall
continue to discharge the duties imposed upon
me to the best of my ability, and in such
manner as will, in my judgment most GER
tainly promote the true interests of the coun-
try; and, If, in the opinion of my fellow
Democrats in Kentucky, my services entitle
me to their commendation and approval, I
would regard their Endorsement of my public
course as an ample reward for the little
have been able to accomplish in behalf OF
honest administration and a sound financial
policy. With many thanks for your kind
letter, I am, very truly,
j. G. Carlisle.

BONANZA FOR HOTELS.
They Profit by the Raines Law in
New York.

NEW YORK, April 5.-The Raines liquor
law was enforced in this city today. 1t was
apparent all over the city that the saloon
keepers had made their minds up to take no
chances under the existing condition Of af-
fairs, for there was no attempt to evade the
provisions of the law, and no violations were
reported at police headquarters. On every
street the interiors Of the drinking places
were exposed to full view, the blinds and cur
tains being so arranged as to give clear
prospect of what was going on inside. The
saloons were, In almost every instance, de-
serted even by the proprietors and their bar
tenders.
Reports had it that the uptown hotels were
profting largely by the changed order of
things, and that most of them were doing a
rushing, though legitimate business None Of
them sold liquor over the bars, but the ma
jority, especially those which have bars in
their cafes, dispensed liquors with lunches
and meals. Reports from all over the state
indicate that the new law was quite generally
enforced. Very few proprletors defied the law
Those doing SO were promptly arrested.
