Louisville Instead of Lexington.
Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
LOUISVILLE, KY, March 30.-The repab-
lican state central committee has decided
to change the place for holding the republi-
can state convention Of April 10 from Lex
ington, KY, to Louisville.
The Mckinley forces are making all their
preparations for fierce battle with the
Bradley followers. Frow now until the con-
vention the contest will be red hot in the
state The Mckinley men are making
great efforts to defeat Bradley in his native
state, and the contest they are making is
such that the Bradley leaders are gro wing
fearful as to the result, and are making
every exertlon to hold Kentucky in line for
their champion. If he is defeated in his
own state they realize there Is no hope for
him at the national convention.
The leader OF the Mckinley forces IN the
state is Sam Roberts, editor Of the LeXing-
ton Leader. He is assisted by George d.
Todd. who manages affairs in Louisville
Roberts, however, directs every move, and
realizes that the time has come for a de-
termined action, which is being made. He
had been waiting for the adjournment Of
the legislature.
He claims that reports from all over the
state indicate that the sentiment among
the republicans Is for Mckinley, and that
they will capture six delegates sure, and
possibly eight They hope to secure most
of the delegates from the state at large.
Ten thousand letters have been sent out
recently to Kentuckians all over the state
They review McKinley's services to the
republican party, dwelling especially on his
fight for protectio While stating that
Mckinley is not waging war on any can
didate they then call upon the republicans
of the state to work for him and give him
their support. They claim that the repub-
and that Mckinley will be nominated on
the first ballot.
A stamped envelope is inclosed for reply.
From the answers already received the
managers say that the state shows favor
to Mckinley. and they express themselves
as we'll satisfied.
McKinley's organization is excellent, and
he is making much stronger fight in Ken
lucky than has been apparent The Brad
ley men declare that they can secure
solid delegation from Kentucky for him,
and that his services to the republican
party in the south entitle him to national
recognition. The contest is becoming more
interesting every day, and will be fought
hard until the convention meets at st.

MIR. CANNON'S EXPLANATION

Mr.. Hoar, chairman Of the committee
pm judiciary, made an effort to pass the
House bill abolishing capital punishment
In certain cases as soon as the Senate met
today. He explained that the measure re-
tanned capital punishment for treason, muir
der and rape. unless the jury, in the YER
dict, waived such penalty and abolished it
in all other cases.
Mr.. Hale thought this amounted to an
entire abolition of capital punishment, as
the question was left with the jury, even
In the three most heinous cases. The bill
finally went over until tomorrow.

The bill was passed directing the Sec
retary Of War to prepare a roll of tele-
graph operators who served not less than
ninety days in the military telegrapnic
service during the war of the rebellion, ond
to issue to each a certificate of honorable

prove a compromise and settlement he
tween the United States and the state OF

The Arkansas Settlement Bill.
The debts due from the state of Arkansas
to the United States and the claims Of the
state against the United States are of long
standing and much complicated and con-
fused Frequent attempts have been made
from time to time to bring about an ad-
justment and settlement, but without sue
cess. In order that all claims might be
equitably adjusted and finally settled, Con.
gress passed the law of August 4, 1894,
comforting authority upon the Secretary of
the Treasury and Secretary Of the Interior
to compromise and settle these claims with
the governor Of Arkansas. Thereupon Sec
retaries Carlisle and Smith effected a COM
promise with Governor Clark, providing
that upon the payment by the state Of

81 900 bonds Of the state held by the United

nounced the authors of anonymous PAM
phlets circulated about Congress, and ex-
ed from a lobby maintained by the Missouri
Pacific Railroad Company. The Senator
appealed to his associates not to be 'Eeld
up by powerful corporation.
Mr.. Gear Qowa) opposed the settlement
on the ground that 1t was unfair to the
United States. The state had not come be-
fore the Senate with "clean hands," as
serted the Senator.

MORGAN'S HARD TIME.
VIII Give the Public an Opportun.
ity TO Get Rich.

Morgan, the auctioneer, is havin!
hard times these days, and when h,
starts out in the morning he dom
know whether he is going to his offic,
or just going home. For a week pas
he has not had a good nights rest
owing to the fact that people have
been calling him on the telephone anC
placing orders for stock in the Oahu
Sugar Company. He will be busy to-
day
At 10 o'clock he will sell lot of fine
! liquors and sauerbrunnen of excellent
quality. There are also in the list
American, German and Bavarian beers.
| At noon he will sell number of
pieces of real estate as a sort of re-
taxation.
First, there are two elegant lots at
Pearl City, sold by order of John F.
Colburn, assignee of the estate of H.
F. Poor These lots are beautifully
situated, one of them being adjacent to
the depot. This is property that is
sure to increase in value, it matters
not whether there is straight annexa-
ton, a protectorate or the Republic.
The next important item in the days
events is the sale of lots at Kapiolani
Park There is property that must in
crease in value, no matter in which Ii
rection the town grows. Waikiki is
the favorite spot today, and it will
continue to increase in attractions as
time passes. The improvements now
going on along the beach adds to the
value of the surrounding property. A
man who buys Kapiolani Park lots To-
day puts his money out on a basis of
% per cent increase in value within
the next year.
In order to effect a settlement of the
estate the heirs of the late w. James
Smith have directed Mr.. Morgan to sell
some valuable city and country prop
9rty. The sale will take place at noon |
.oday, and will comprise the residence |
on Beretania street adjoining |
he Central Union Church. This is |
valuable from the fact that it is in the !
center of the city The out-of-town |
consists of parcel of land at |
t<awailoa, District of Waialua, this |
sland. 1t is located on the Govern
nen road, and adjoins the old church !
premises.
At the same time will be sold the
esidence of H. A. Myhre on Green
street, adjoining the residence of Rev.
}. P, BRINE. A building lot on the
eva side of Makiki, above Dominis, is
n the rapidly building-up part of the
ity, and will make money for the man

Lots / and on the Waikiki road.
djoining the John Ena road, are de-
irable, because the view mauka in

When the interchangeable Morgan gets
through with this he will rest until
vening, if he has time, and then be-
in at z o'clock his great toy sale, and
ale of useful holiday gifts. On Sun
ay Mr.. Morgan will not work.

A FAMOUS RUSSIAN REGIMENT.

Organized by Peter the Great and Always
 Favorite with the Czar.
 The Preobrajenski regiment of the imperial guards, which has taken so important part in the ceremonies ac- companying the funeral of the late AL exander TIL, and which has had the honor of precedence over all the other regiments of Russia, in so far as to be first among the troops to take the oath of allegiance to the youthful Czar Nicholas H., is one of the oldest regi- ments in the army of the imperial guard and may be said to owe it's origin to Peter the Great. who, when but boy at Preobrajenski, near Mos COW, formed his playmates into little band of miniature soldiers, and thus at the age of eleven years gave an early proof of his faculty for organization This little. force was subsequently, called ''La Compagnie de Divertisse- ment de Pierre le Grand" It was the wish of his imperial highness the late Czar Alexander III. to be inferred in the uniform of his favorite regiment, as indeed it was also the desire of his predecessor, Alexander II.
 The present Czar Nicholas II. is colonel of the famous Preobrajenski regiment, and at the various state functions consequent to his office al most invariably wears the costume of the regiment to which he is most at tached. The uniform is a dark blue one, and his imperial majesty, when attired in the full dress uniform of his rank, with golden epaulettes and wear ing the light blue riband of the Order of St. Andrew, is said to look exceed ingly we'll.
