LOUISIANA POPULlSTS.
They Don't Like the Idea of the Suga Planters Taking All of the
 Best Offices.

Alexandria. La, Jan. S-The populist convention, which met here today, is not as large body as it was expected to be. There were about 200 delegates altogeth- rtory contiguous to Rapides parish, which is the center of the popu1ist strength in this state. It is thought the convention will complete it's work tomor- row. and unless a marked change takes place a full populist ticket will be put in the field and the sugar planters candi- dates, who were chosen last week at New Orleans, will be ignored. Nearly all the populist leaders are opposed to a fusion ticket, because the sugar planters took the three most important places on the ticket.
 A caucus was held by the populists, beginning at 10 o'clock and lasting until nearly noon, when it was announced that the convention would permanently or ganize at o'clock. The delegates are very shy of newspaper men and the pro ceedings of the caucus cannot be learned. One of the delegates stated that Pugh, the sugar planters candidate for gov ernor, would not be indorsed.
 The convention organized at o'clock tonight and after nominating Judge A. A. Gunby of Monroe for governor ad- journed until tomorrow It is believed tonight that some dicker will be made with the regular republicans whereby the latter will indorse the populist tick ct. The plan will be developed tomorrow.

IRON AGE REVIEW.
Prices Are Still Recedngin the Finished Iron Trade-The Market Took
 .x Drop.

New York, Jan. 8.-The Iron Age in its weekly review of the iron and metal trades tomorrow will say: .s
 The prospects of a months uncertain ty in financial matters and the general feeling of unrest all over the civilized world are not encouraging to enterprise. Business men are acting very cautiously and it may account largely for the grow ing complaint in the large industry of poor collections. It is a well known fact, too, that rapid advance and the sudden slump in the iron trade has made the banks very critical on iron paper, in spite of the fact that the industry is on very sound basis now, While there are those who profess to believe that much of the depression in the iron trade is artiticially created, the majority attribute it to nat ural causes. There are probably few con aorns large or small who did not pur- chase on the rise enough to carry them well to the close of 1895. But consumption of the last three months fell far below the estimates. and the vast majority had over bought.
 In the finished iron trade prices are still receding, and pretty good indication of. what some producers expect is furnished at least by the fact Chat the contract for about 1900 tons of elevated work at Chi cago was taken at $26S erected.
 The tin market has had a spasm through the troubles of local operators, and the market dropped to $l2723, but has recovered to $1310.

DELIGHTFUL MUSICAL COMEDY
Furnished by DeWolf Hopper and Company in
 'Dr. Syntax."

A finer or larger audience than that which packed O'Brien's opera house last evening, greeting DeWolf Hopper and his company in "Dr. SyntaX," is seldom seen anywhere. Eligible standing room was prized and pushed for early in the evening and scores of auditors lined the walls.
 The performance was happily worthy of the immense crowd which constantly attested its pleasure with the noisiest possible demonstrations. DeWolf Hop per- although not over 34 years of age long ago proved himself ble ge- nius of fun-making. He was at his best last evening, and of course this means he was intensely and immensely droll and devilish. His fine baritone voice is as wonderfully plable as his agile long legs are plastic and all these essential attributes of hiStrionic action are in con tinual conspiracy to strain even an ac- commodaring auditors ribs and imperil the preservation of his buttons and things.
 Dr. Syntax is an absurdly impossi- ble but suggestively and eXcrutiatingly ludicrous master in an up-to-date board- ing school for girls. The parts of the lat ter were most agreeably filled by full company of bright, pretty young women, some of whom were quite lustrous in acting and captiva ting in song. There are always leaders among boarding school girls, and such roles in "Dr. Syn tax were admirably performed by Miss es Ida Lester Edna Wallace Hopper, Bertha Waltzinger Florine Murray, Le- onie Deuth and Lou Harlow. There were male characters, of course, professors, visitors and college students, all cev- erly done by such well known actors as John Parr Alfred Klein. 'dmund Stan- ley. Thomas s. Guise, Harry P. Stone and Louis Shnader.
 MT. Hopper, responding to request, fa- vored the audience with his inimitable recta ton of Casey at the Bat" and an- swered delighted and insistent encores to the verge of exhaustion.

ATTEMPT 10 BREAK JAIL
Eliza Dorn Had Worked a Big Hole in the e' Wall Before Being Informed
 Upon.

Last night Eliza Dorn, a colored in- mate of the city prison, made a bold and almost successful attempt to .'break jail. She would have soon succeeded and gained her freedom had not one of the female stevedores notified Warden Cunningham of the Effort she was mak ing. It was about 9:SO o'clock when the warden was given the informa ton, and he hurried upstairs to the women's de- partment to find that he had arrived none too soon. All was quiet when he appeared and, the woman was, apparent ly asleep. frf. a,
 In the northwest corner of tiie prison, most remote from the warden's office, MT. Cunningham discovered a large hole entirely through the massive abrick wall of the prison, and almost large enough to admit the passage of the womans body. Had the warden been thirty minutes later the prisonerSs3in the sWomen'S de- partment would have. all escaped. The opening had been made near "a large water pipe, which runs along the out side wall, and upon this they could have easily slid to the dark alley below.
 The tools used in effeeting the opening were a common sad iron and long Iron bar. With the sad iron she had battered and crushed brick to get a;lstart and then with the sharp pointed bar she had picked out the mortar, thus easily re- moving the brick. 4,--.
 The female stevedore who gave MT. Cunningham the Information says the woman first attempted to effect an en- trance through the plank wall which di- vides the jail from the court room, but fearing detection gave that up. The stevedore states that the work on the brick wall commented about 5:90. She says she would have given the alarm sooner, but Eliza and another woman named Fannie Palmer prevented her.
 There were several doors and walls between the warden's office and the point where the hole was made, hence Mr Cunningham, the ever alert night warden, could not hear the noise occa- stoned by the work.
 Eliza is serving a term of 105 days for carrying concealed weapons.

WORRIED BY TELLER.
He Proposes to Attach Silver Amendment to Every Tariff Bill to Be
 Introduced

Washington, Jan. 8.-If the republican members of the senate committee on finance act in accordance with the vote or the republican caucus, and if MT. Jones persists in his intentions to demand that | raw sugar shall be given the Is per cent increase provided by the house in ev- cry other schedule, there will probably
 be deadlock in the committee and the
 bill cannot be reported. It is believed that MT. Jones will act with the republi- cans.
 The resolution introduced yesterday by MT. Quay declaring it the sense of the caucus that the republicans should re- port the tariff bill as it came from the house passed the crisis this afternoon, after an hour and a half of debate, with a unanimous vote. The chief point in the discussion was the probable attitude of the silver republicans. Many of these were outspolSen in their desire to have the tariff bill passed, and declared that it would be unwiSe to place a free coinage rider thereon, especially in view of the fact that such a bill was now before the senate and would be passed before action was had on the tariff bill.
 MT. Teller of Colorado, however, threw a brand among his associates when he made a vigorous speech and said that for one he proposed to assist in placing a free coinage amendment on every IaIlII Dlll until Sucn a measure 7DecdHle d law. He would not only vote to put 1t on this bill, but he declared it to be his intention to endeavor to assist in having such an amendment placed on tariff bill in the next congress, if the republi- cans controlled both branches of the leg islative and of the executive. This state ment embarra ssed the republicans great ly. MT. Teller did not say that he would offer such an amendment, but stated positively that if offered he would vote for it. Other silver men expressed their intention of being satisfied with the free coinage substitute to the bond bill. Con servative silver men will not join MT Teller in this vote, and the votes of the sound money men on the inside of the chamber are counted upon to defeat such a proposition.
 Just as the caucus was about to ad- journ MT. Pettigrew asked when the re- publicans proposed to consider the ques- ton of the reorganization of the elective officers of the senate, and suggested that this would be as good time as any. Nevertheless MT. Mitchell made a motion to adjourn, and it was carried. This left the silver men and the new senators in the lurch. They are the ones who have been urging reorganization, and they are somewhat angered to think that the ad- journment had been carried on the mo- tion of one of their own men.
 Immediately a request was circulated for MT. Sherman, chairman of the caucus, to issue a call for another caucus, and it was generally signed, the names attach ed 1t to including eastern men as well as western and silver men. This caucus will be called probably tomorrow, and will deal with the subject of the further re- organization of the senate.

What Cuba Wants Is Arms and Ammuni-

What Cuba Wants Is Arms and Ammuni-
 tion at Present.
 Washington, Jan 8.-Thomas Estrada Palma, the head of the Cuban revolu- tionary committee in this country and envoy extraordinary of the Cuban pro- vsonal government to the United States, told a reporter tonight that his committee was doing nothing to encour- age recruiting in this country for the Cuban cause. On the contrary, he and his associates were doing everything to discourage the raising of troops for Cuba, not only for the reason that such re- cruiting was in violation of the neutral ity laws, but because there was already in Cuba more men attached to the in surgent army than could be armed and 1t was not desirable to send others there to increase this large number.
 GonZalo de Quesada, secretary of the committee, gave~seme additional reasons why recruiting in the United States was not desirable Mr. Guesada said that if persons in America were anxious to help his struggling countrymen theyrcou1d do it better by furnishing arms and ammu- milton than by volunteering themselves for active service. Our principal aim is now, he said, 'to afm the greater num- Der of soldiers who are fighting for Cuba. We have. received hundreds of offers of enlistment but all these we have been obliged to decline on account of our de- sire to do all that can be done to prevent any viola ton of the neutrality laws be- tween Spain and the United States. Even if we were inclined to violate the neutral ity laws. which most emphatically we are not, we could do nothing in this con- nection, for it takes a great deal of mon- ey to send men to Cuba, and we need all the funds we can secure to purchase arms for those now In the field"

Arms for Cuba.

Raleigh, N. C., Jan.

The case was not proved. The steamer has ever since laid at a wharf, and now it is dis covered that a day or two before Christ mas all of the great quantity of arms and equipments on board of her were re- moved It is said they were all sent to Cuba. There. was and is intense popular sympathy with the insurgents not only at Wilmington, but all over the state, and several vessels with arms have clear ed from that port. Q |. 2 ....,

FROM OHIO TO FLORIDA.
A Northern ProSpector Tries the South or His
 TruSty Wheel.


 lrusty Wheel.
 young gentleman Sun-tanned and apparently jaded, clad in a bicycle suit and standing leisurey by his wheel on the corner of Nineteenth and Second yesterday morning. attracted the atten- lion of every one passing that way. His demeanor indicated that he had travelled no little distance. In answer to a State Herald reporters queries, the young man stated that his name was c. M. Hol- comb and that he lived in Columbus, O., and that he was an engineer by trade. About eight weeks ago he concluded to mount his bicycle and make a trip to Florida, and should he find a place that suited him would locate. He was on his return home, having visited the Land of Flowers and taken in some of the most prominent southern towns on the trip.
 AIr. Holcomb casually remarked: DO you see this bicycle? 1t is as good as when l mounted it in Columbus, O., eight weeks ago. I have ridden it 2500 miles. It is the Victor, and, my friend, if you ever buy wheel this is the kind you want, and l am not paid to say it nor to ride it. And this tire is style x, the same l left home with and, strange to say, l have only punctured it three times. two of which occurred while crossing Cum berland mountain over the toughest road in America. Ah, it's a daisy and I am as proud of it as the old engine I left in ohio. and which I will soon see again end bathe my hands in her steam"
 Mir. Holcomb reported his trip quite pleasant and that he was kindly treated by every one he met.
 We would remark by way of parenthe- sis that the Victor wheel is sold in this city by the Birmingham Arms company.
