KILLED AT MOAB.
Jesse Gibson Shot by an Unknown
Man.

A correspondent of the News, under
date of Jan. &c, writes as follows:
We have had rather lively times here
lately. There was a horce race on the
22nd, which ended in a dispute; a great
many got too much firewater for their
good which ended in what they term
shooting up the town, so much so that
we made a change in some of the Of
ficers to see if such things could not be
stopped.
Last. night Jesse Gibson was shot
under one arm, the ball ranging down
through his lungs; also one through the
leg. He was dead when parties got to
him. There were other parties close
around, but it seems that there is not

by the name of Leonard Scott had
words with Gibson at dance on the
oath, and is reported to have said he
would kill Gibson. Scott has not been
seen since.

STORMY SESSION.
MEETING OF THE LOUISIANA RE-
PUBLICAN CONVENTION.
Fight Between the Mckinley and
Reed FOrces-AH Sorts of RumOrs
About Bribery and Corruption
Are Afioat.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 29.-The meet
ing of the Republican state conven-
ton this evening resulted in one of the
stormiest sessions in the history of the
party in this state The fight between
the Mckinley and Reed forces for four
delegates at large to the national con-
yention at ST Louis next June was
complicated by the presence of a very
noisy faction of Republicans who cared
nothing for the question of delegates
but were interested solely in the ques-
ton whether or not the convention
should endorse the Populist sugar
planter ticket or nominate separate
ticket of it's own for state officers. Nc
Kinley captured four delegates in the
districts yesterday. This made the
Reed men, led by Ex-Governor Kellogg,
unusually anxious to capture the four
delegates at large, to be selected by
the convention. Captain A. T. VIM
berry, the Mckinley leader, had gained
control of the temporary organization
of the convention but Kellogg had the
state central committee which had ad-
journed sine die, called together again
and the control wrested from Wimber-
ley Accordingly in the convention to-
day after four hour fight, the Reed
men, with the help of the advocates of
a state ticket elected r. F. Guichard
temporary chairman. 1t was then dis
covered that out of a convention of
some 500 delegates the seats of 800
were contested The convention took
a recess until the credentials commit
tee could report. At a late hour to-
night the contests are still being heard.
There is very bitter feeling between
the Mckinley and Reed factions. All
sorts of rumors of bribery and corrup-
ton are afioat.
The committee on credentials re-
manned in session most of the night,
and about $50 delegates will be reported
against. 1t is now likely that there will
be two conventions and consequent con-
fusion.

sultan which gives the sultan conf
dence in Russian friendship and dis
poses him to conform to Russian adj
vice in matters of foreign policy"

BAYARID.
1t Is Hardly Probable That He VIII
Be Censured.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 'z9--There is
likely to be a very interesting debate
in the house committee on foreign af-
fairs over the proposition to report
resolution to censure Ambassador Bay
ard for the two speeches which he
he made at Edinburg and Boston, Eng
land. The subcommittee appointed to
act in the matter reached the con-
clusfon that such resolution should
be reported but left to the committee
the task of wording it. From the
developments of the week it seems pos
sible that the committee will be divi-
ded along party lines on the question
and that the Democrats will make a
fight in the committee against censure.
1t was thought at first the committee
might frame a mild expression of dis
approval, to which the Democratic
members would assent, but the Demo-
Gratis are now manifesting a disposition
to oppose any censure however mild.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 29.-The pre-

and highly dramatic sensational
speech of Mr. Tillman, the new senator
from South Carolina, furnished two
stirring events in the senate today. The
majority resolution on Cuba asks the
president to urge Spain to grant bel

the minority report directs the presi-
dent to take steps toward securing
from Spain the complete independence
of Cuba. Both resolutions went to the

THE LETTER

III DdTt IS as fOIIOWS:
"Mersine. Asia Minor, Dec 81, 1895.
These are fearful times in Turkey.
While signatory powers are gazing on
the scene. the Turks are destroying
Christians by the thousand. Such things
are a disgrace to the nation permitting
them.
Admiral Kirkland, a bitter enemy of
missions and missionaries, made a cruise,
but did not call at Mersine. We protested
against this discrimination in calling at
ports where he was neither needed nor
sent. Consul Gibson took up the matter
with great vigor, and sent a protest to
Washington. The navy department or
dered Kirkland to return from an Ital-
ian port to Mersine. He was. it is said,
going to some European horse race. So
he was angry at US because we stood
in his way when we claimed rights as
United States citizens.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-01-30
AT THE TURKS.

Then, too, he was angry at the
Turks for acting in such a manner as
to call for the intervention of the Unit
ed States government. The consul
came from Beyrout and had a list of
our complaints. The governor of the
state was ordered to board the cruiser.
He presented a list of complaints
against me personally which were
proved to be utterly untrue and pre-
posterous. On the other hand every
claim we made was sustained and my
requests all granted.
The sultan had demanded my depor-
tation from the country but the
grounds of this demand having been
proven baseless the United States de-
'clined to allow it.
Now the United States cruiser Mar
blehead is anchored in front of our
home where we can signal them if nee
essary. Everybody feels sure that but
for it's presence here there would have
been a massacre in Marsine.

floor on the pending silver bond bill.

senator was accorded close attention.
He moved from his rear seat to one in

The senator said he would use plain
anglo-Saxon, the language of the COM
mon peoplt, for he was one of them.
He spoke bitterly OF the essay-reading
INDUCED in by senators. He referred
to the statement of the senator from
Ohio (Sherman) that the silver ques-
ton had been thrashed out.
Eyes it has been thrashed out by the
spectators, but not the farmers"

cit is not saying too much, and 1 feel
warranted in charging that the de-
rangement in our finances and all this
cry about sound money and maintain
ing the honor and credit of the United
States are all part and parcel of a
damnable scheme of robbery, which
had for its object, first, the utter des-
truction of silver as a money metal;
second. the increase of the public debt,
the issue of bonds payable in gold; and
third. the surrender to corporations of
the power to issue all paper money and
give them a monopoly Of that func-
