thing done to rid the party OF
them?
That must be done, and for that
reason are these few remarks Of
The Item. The time has come
when the good men in the Repub-
lican party must take hand in the
er. OF the disgraceful and incom-
petent leadership Of that party in
this State.
They have interests to serve; in
terests which are inseparable from
the party. Republican party sue
cess to them means prosperity
nationally and a clean local gov
eminent. Neither Of these can be
obtained or will remain perma-
nent with a leadership or with
by self.
The Item has struggled all along
f or what it deemed party good.
1t has earnestly supported what
seemed the least Objectionable
faction Of the party. 1t supported
it not from preference, but for
party success.
If Republican success in Louis
lana is desired, and it should be
above all things, it is time, and the
time is now, when the honorable
Republican men Of the State
should make themselves felt in
the matter Of Louisiana appoint
ments, and make themselves felt
to the extent of repudiating the
leadership which has disgraced
not only the party but the State.

Dr. c. E. Cadawallader, the head OF
one of Philadelphia's oldest and most
exclusive families, was married the
other afternoon in ST. Paul's Episcopal
church to Bridget Mary Ryan, his
former housemaid The marriage
caused quite a sensation in society
circles in Philadelphia.
The bride came to this country five
years ago from Tipperary, Ireland,
and three years later entered the doc
tors employ as housemaid. The doc
tor took more than an employers inter-
est in the fair Irish girl, and finally pro-
posed marriage. She accepted, and.
after vainly endeavoring to have the
Roman Catholic church, of which she
was a member, waive all restrictions.
Miss Ryan gave up her religion and

DR.. Cadawallader is descendant Of
the famous John Cadawallader, the

THE SICK SISTER.

dependent, Republican journal
and also one OF the ablest and
best newspapers in the State, has
this to say OF Louisiana and her
Republican leaders:
Politically speaking Louisiana
is the ailing sister OF the nation.
Her Republican politics are not OF
Il variety unknown elsewhere, and
her politicians are of all shades
and hues, whose principal occu-
patton is compromising with the
enemy and pounding each other.
This holds good for the Demo-
Gratis, except they do not pound
each other to the extent OF COM
pounding with the opposition.
A Democrat in Louisiana
is a before and after cleo
ton reformer. During those
times they "split up about the
quality of reform necessary, but
when election day rolls in they re-
sumo the pleasing, and unusal oc-
cupation for that season only, Of
Saving civilization by stuffing
ballot boxes.
Gen. Grant, while President,
had to deal with the peculiar and
particular politics and politicians
of Louisiana. and after painful
season thereat, washed his hands
of the blood with the aphorism,
Louisiana politics and hell are
synonymous. This was more
than twenty years ago, and the
conditions then existing, which
rendered politics with US place
where satan would be at home,
have not improved a whit.
So far as the Republican fac
tons are concerned. they are to
state it plainly, but factions, and
factions which have inherited all
the deviltry OF those OF Gen.
Grants dav and learned much
more. A Republican administra-
ton had been but elected. when the
troubles which had rendered the
party powerless to contest with
the enemy in the political cam
vass resulting in Major Mckin-
ley's triumph, was transferred to
Washington via Canton, Ohio,
where the unseeming wrangl1ng
and disgraceful quarrels of indi-
vidual and factiona1 Louisiana
Republicans have at last attracted
the attention of the nation, dis
gusted all its people and shamed
the honorable and sincere Repub-
lican at home.
There are honorable and sim
cere Republicans at home, and a
host Of them. But they are ours
ed with leadership who has no
thought of party success, beyond
what may return to them posi-
ton and profit. The Item is not
excepting from this charge any
faction or leadership, for it en-
braces them all.
And such leadership! What
fitness it has for other than spoils'
scrambling, in which itsEproficien-
cy is admitted, passes comprehen-
sion. In an effort with the politi-
cal enemy it has neither judg-
ment. discrestion nor competency.

LONDON, ENG. April 2S.-The opening
OF Her Maj-aty's Theater tonight must

FOUR PERSONS KILLED.
PeriIors Fire in Brooklyn, OF Which Two

Deofb

NEW YORK, N. Y, April 2S.-Four
persons were killed in fire early this
M forming in the four-story fiat building at
1878 Third avenue. Brooklyn. The dead
are: Mrs. Celia Brunett, widow, So; Mrs.
Carrie Newell, 81; John Newell, Z; Lewis
Newell, 18.
There is a strong suspicion that the fire
was OF incendiary origin, and that it was
started in the lower hallway near the
main entrance, as we'll as at tae foot of the
elevator shaft. to cut off the flight of the
occupants. Mrs. Brunett lived in the fat
over the store. All avenues of escape were
cut off, and she perished before the fire.
men reached her.
The top floor was occupied by, John
Newell, his wife and two children. He
occupied the bedroom in front and his
wife and the children slept in a rear
room. Newell could make no attem Mt to
reach his wife and children. He escaped
by hanging to the coping till rescued.
His wife was al the front window on the
other side OF the building with the
youngest child in her arms and the other
by her side. She was about to throw the
children into the street when the fiIemen
i'm plored her TO wait until a blanket
could be procured. While the firemen
held the blanket under the window she
dropped the children. Both fell several
feet beyond the heads OF the firemen and.
striking the sidewalk, were killed almost
instantly. The mother, directly after
dropping the children, fell back into the
room. Her charred body was found after
the fire was exiinguished.

Probable.
Democratic Members of the

First Skirmlsh Between the Oppos.

To-Day.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April 2S.-The
first skirmish in the Senate for the next
two or three months will probably take
place tomorrow. a meeting of the full
Finance Committee will be held, end the
tariff bill so far as it has been revised by
the four sub-committeemen will be sub
mitted. The bill is practically completed.
but it is not likely that it can be reported
by the full committee in com pleted form
before Monday. The Republicans have
been notified that the Democrats feel it
incumbent upon them as mem bers OF the
opposite political party to oppose report
ing such an important measure to the Sem
ate until they shall have had full oppor-
tunity to examine apd study it. The five
present Democratic mem bers OF the Com
mittee on Finance are Senators Harris,
Vest, Jones, White and WalthalI. White
of California is the only one who orig
inally insisted upon subjecting the new
bill tn rigid inspection by the full COM
mittee before 1T was reported TO the Sem
ate. Lately, however, Jones has been
urged 10 make fight upon the Republi-
can measure as a feature of party policy,
and he has therefore joined with White in
serving notice that the DILL must take the
usual course to the Senate through the
ommittee.
The four Republican Senators who have
revised the bill have maintained the ut
most secrecy as TO changes and have done
this largely for the purpose OF protecting
themselves against the pressure of outside
influence. 1t is largely for this reason
that they desire to avoid having the bill
subjected to the scrutiny and criticism of
Democratic mem bers OF the committee.
and possibly to amendment and revision.
They are sull hopeful of prevailing upon
the Democratic Senators TO allow them to
bring the bill into the Senate as party
measure for which the Republicans alone
are responsible, and it is possible that by
showing the memb bsrs of the full commit
tee rough draft of the proposed bill TO-
morrow they may be induced to withhold
their opposition until the measure is re.
ported to The Senate.
The election of a Republican Senator in
Kentucky would materially assist the Re-
puDlicans in their efforts to pass The bill,
but the fight is not likely to be on strictly
Indeed, the Republican Senators of the
Finance Committee are apparently more
soiicitous about the support of some radi-
cal members of their party than The
probable course of the silver Republicans
and Populists. There is authority Tor the
statement that the revised bill provides
for material reduction Of the D.ngIey
rates. This leads the Republicans to hope
that the opposition will be less formida-
ble than originally anticipated. As the
Democrats, however, have decided to op-
pose it from start to finish, the bill is
likely to be before the Senate for at least
fhraa m hs

AWFUL S7ORY OF THE SEA.
Feet ana Hands Removed From the Sur
VVorS of The V1Hi1nt, Who Also
Lose Their Reason

ST. JOHNS, NEwFoUNDLAND April 28-
The four survivors of the Valiant in the
hospital at st. Pierre are very low. The
removal OF their feet and hands was sue
cessuily performed last night, but there
Is fear that two of them, Haubeche and
Houyou, will not survive. The doctors
are also afraid that none OF them will re-
cover reason. Three are mentally un-
hinged and the fourth has only occasions al
lucid intervals, during which a few details
are got from him.
Captain Pierres' boat only parted COM
pany with theirs on the morning of the
rescue. She had ten men aboard, two OF
whom had died and the remainder were
IN about the same condition as these four.
This has created feeling that the boat
may also have been picked up, and friends
OF the captain are anXiously awaiting
tidings OF her.
When the castaways were rescued they
had broken Off part of the dory's gun
vale and fastened it III the bow with a
shirt attached as q signal. This at
tracted the attention of the rescuing
vessel, whose captain says that none Of
the four could have survived that night,
Tor gale arose which would have sunk
them.
The survivors had no boots when thew
left the wreck, only wooden sabots with
out socks, and their feet were terribly
frozen. There was a regular battle for
the boats when the collision occurred.
All fought like demons, and four boats
were overturned through the frenzied
seamen ping into them from the ship S

.perished in the ship, the remainder being

A LETTER FR0M SHELDON.
The Disappearance Of the Banker is Fol-

Wreck nf Iodd

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 2S.-"It is dis
grace and the penitentiary or the lake,
and l have chosen the latter wrote John
Sheldon, banker, of Loda, H., to his con-
hdential friend and attorney, John Moffett
OF Paxton. The receipt Of the letter was
followed by the closing of the bank in
Loda, the assignment of four leading busi-
ness firms and the individual assignments
OF mum Der OF leading citizens of the town.
Sheldon's money troubles involve funds
belonging to the school trustees and to
trust estates valued at a quarter OF a mill
hon dollars. A systematic police search
failed to reveal whether Sheldon has
drowned himself or not. The general be-
l1ef is that his body is in the lake.
The wreck was precipitated by demand
OF the heirs of the Sheldon estate here for
$3oO0O realized a year ago, and their re-
quest for final accounting for approx
mately $4,000. Sheldon was unable to
meet the demand last Friday with a hand
bag full of securities, which he tried un-
successfully to dispose of here. He then
wrote twenty-psge letter to his conf

Also Allowed an illegal Rate of In

Half a Million.

OMAHA, NEBR, April 2S-The retiring
State Treasurer, Joseph Bartfey, was ar
rested to-day by the Sheriff of this county,
charged with embezzling $20l.0O0, the
proceeds of a State warrant which he sold
to the Chemical National Bank of New
York while he was Treasurer. 1t was ne
gotiated through the Omaha National
Bank. The Attorney General swore to
the complaint.
BARLEY is at present out on bonds for q
shortage OF $500, 600 in State funds. The
proceeds were transferred 10 BARLEY, upon
whose books, however, no account of the
receipt of the money has been found. In
time the Chemical National Bank re-
turned the warrant to the Omaha Ma
tonal Bank of this city for collection. In
response to this call the State Treasurer
proceeded to deposit State funds in the
Omaha National Bank until the sum OF
$20l, 900 was on deposit. This was the
amount of the warrant, together with
interest at the rate of per cent. With
this money the warrant was duly taken
up and the accruing interest was paid.
When the warrant was collected by the
New York bank through the local bank it
was paid by check, TO which BARLEY
signed his own name. The $201 900 was
therefore on deposit in his name, al
though it is alleged to have been State
money.
In connection with the case BARLEY is
accused of having allowed an illegal rate
OF interest on the warrant. According to
the State law warrants cannot draw more
than per cent In terest, but the Chem ical
National Bank collected per cent for the
entire time it advanced the money on the
warrant. Barley will be arraigned at
