THE GOLD BUGS MANIFESTO.
Declare for Taggart, but Denounce
the City Platform.


The managers of Mr.. Taggarts person
ally conducted" campaign, otherwise known
as the National Democratic committee and
anon irreverently spoken of by silverites as
..the gold-bug gang" held a meeting at the
headauarters in the ingalls, block last even
ing and adopted a manifesto in which they
repudiated the Taggart platform, de-
nounced the Taggart interview and in
dorsed Taggart, leaving Cox, Stuckmeyer
and the councilmanic ticket out in the cold.
The manifesto was drawn by John r. Will
son and approved by a resolutions commit
tee COMPOSED of Mr.. Wilson. John p. Fren-
eel. Evans Woollen, S. o. Pickens and one
or two others. There were about seventy
five members of the organization present,
and after Evans Woollen had made them
little speech in which he declared that Tag
CART was the lesser of two evils, the mani
festo was read by Mr.. Wilson and approved
without dissent.
one of the leaders of this movement last
night declared that they were forced to
organize because the radical silver Demo-
Gratis had secret organization for the pur-
pose Of defeating Taggart. Then they
wanted to keep alive their organization in
order to be in shape for the next state
campaign, when the silver issue will prob
ably be- forced. The gold bug" committee
expect TO finance and manage the Taggart
campaign. The following is the manifesto
issued:
The National Democratic party of In
dianapolis believes that national questions
should have no place in a city election.
We therefore, as members or that party,
enphatically repudiate and denounce the
free-silver declaration in the platform
adopted by the silver Democracy, both be-
cause il is wrong and false in itself and
because the question has no relation to the
city campaign. We condemn the interview
of Mayor Taggart in which he proclaimed
his devotion TO the free-silver fallacy.
Standing as we do firmly by the platform
adopted by the National Democratic party
an its national convention held in this city,
and determined as we are TO leave moth
ing undone 10 secure the triumph OF the
principles therein set torth-prlnclples
which we are ready TO uphold and defend
on every proper occasion-we yet submit
that the only questions in which the people
OF indianapolis are interested at the present
time are such as concern the admlnistra-
ton OF their municipal affairs.
Believing that Mayor Taggart admins
tration has been in its main FEATURES salts
factory and successful, and feeling that his
views on the financial question are not OF
the least Importance, we are glad TO IN
dorse his candidacy and 10 pledge our ef-
forts 10 secure his reelection. Under MS
guidance indianapolis has moved Forward
rapidly in all that goes TO make a great
and beautiful city. lie has compelled the
placing of telephone and telegraph wires

THE SITUATION IN THE SENATE.
Silver Republicans, Democrats and
POpuIists Unite.

Washington, April 1.-THE final agree
ment among democrats, silver republi-
cans and populists in the senate, look
ing to perfect coalition has been reach
ed at a meeting of representatives of
those parties.
The agreement had its origin in an eff
fort to reorganize the senate committees,
but it is destined apparently to reach
far beyond this situation, and in fact to
affect the future proceedings of the SEN
ate in all matters, If not to the extent
of shaping party policies throughout the
country. There were present Senators
German Cockrell, Walthall, Jones OF
Arkansas and Murphy, democrats; Sena-
tors Cannon and Mantle, silver republi-
cans; Senators Allen and Pettigrew, pop
ulists.
With reference to the matter of the
senate organization 1t was decided that
the combination should hold out for the
management of committees, and to all
places on committees heretofore held by
democrats, while it was agreed that the
republicans should have the places here
tofore filled by republicans. This would
give the republicans all the chairman
ships vacated by the retirement of SEN
ators Cameron, Sherman. Dubois, Nit
chell of Oregon and Brown, but 1t will
give the combination about eight vacan-
cies, while it allows the republicans only
about three. The committee decided
against making any concessions, even
though they have been allowing the re-
publicans to fill three vacancies in the
committee on appropriations.
The silver republicans say that their
principal incentive in entering the coall-
ton is to protect the finance committee
which they feared might become an anti
silver organization in case the republi-
cans were allowed to have their own
way in committee organization.
All intention to interfere with the pass
age of the tariff bill through the senate
through the coalition of democrats, sill
yer republicans and populists is denied
by the parties to the agreement.
The republican senators are not In
clined to credit the reports of coalition
against them in the senate, and say fur
thermore that the committees have nc
authority to represent their parties, and
that the agreement can not be binding.

Athens, April 12-The Greek invaders
numbered about 1000. Among them were
Amilcare Cipriana and his Italian Volun-
teers. The entire force was under the
command of three ex-officers of the
Greek army-Kapsalopses, Milanos and
Ziepetres-and four Macedonian chiefs
Zermas, Davelis, Vrakas and Sarantio.
The rendezvous was at Keniskos, viii
lage near Kalabanka. The men were all
fully armed and wore the national cos
tune, their black fur caps bearing on the
band the initials of Ethnike Hetairia, en-
broidered in blue and white, with the
words EN- ton to nika' crossing the in
itials in black.
On Friday monk from Mt Athos, as
sisted by his abbot and two deacons, held
a religious service at Koniskos. at which
all members of the invading body partook
of the sacrament and registered the oath
of the order, Liberty or DEATH
In addition to large quantities of ammu-
ton and provisions the force had 5000
pounds in gold. During Friday night
following the service, the frontier was
crossed, the force moving in the direc
ton CT Schuik.
While this was in progress, a second
band the number of which is yet un-
known, had a rendezvous at Nezoros, on
the frontier, about 30 kilometres north of
Larissa and near the coast This band
was similarly equipped, had established
similar mission and took the same oath.
1t was commanded by the Macedonian
chief Sinsinikos. 1t crossed the frontier
on Thursday night, marching on Karya.
AS everywhere in the vale of Tempe, this
portion of the frontier, the roads and
bridges are in a condition of thorough re-
pair.
General Makros and his staff, with some
knowledge of the movements afoot which
they were unwilling to impart, have left
for Tyrnavos, the most important Greek
position near Elassonia. Four batter
les of reinforcements followed for the
same point.
The latest advlces here report that a
portion of the invading forces continue
to besiege the barracks at Baltino. The
remainder has continued the advance,
but to a destination as yet unknown at
Athens.
AS Beginning "a War.
Constantinople, April 12.-ln a commu-
nication to the ambassadors, the porte
speaks of the Greek invaders as "regu-
lar" troops, and the incursion is regard
ed here as the commencement of the
war.

FIGHTING IN MACEDONIA
INVASION OF TURKISH TERRlToRf
by GRECIAN INSURGENTS.
Believed to Be the FOrerunner OF u
Declaration of WARTIME TO
sition of the Powers.

London, April H. - A special dispatch
from Athens says the invasion of Turkish
territory by Greek insurgents is believedto
be the forerunner Of declaration of war.
1t is added that in spite of the numerous
forces already at the front, two further
classes of Greek ARMY reserves have been
called out.
The insurgents, when crossing the from
tier, divided into three bands. The first
two of these advanced until opposed, and
the third was attacked by the Turks. All
three bands then reunited and made
good stand. The fighting is described as
being desperate.
Dispatches from LariSSa give the details
of the invasionof Macedonia by force of
irregular Greek troops Three thousand
men, it is announced, crossed the frontier.
The expedition Is commanded by eX-off-
GERS of the regular army of Greece, and
includes a band of Italian volunteers
commanded by Colonel Cipriani. All the
Greeks are well armed and have been
equipped at the expense of Ethaike He
tara, Greek secret society, which has
been the root and branch of the present
crisis, practically controlling the country.
They were given an enthusiastic Send-off
by the Thessalonians and the Greek
troops. The latter made no attempt to
y
claimed that the movement is unknown
to the Greek authorities. Two Greek flags
were solemnly entrusted to the insurgents
and good arrangements have been made
for forwarding food and supplies. News
of the invasion caused the most intense
excitement here.
Blockade of Greece.
1t is understood that the blockade of
Greece hangs fire because some of the
powers decline to send the necessary war
ships, arguing that as Great Britain pos
sesses the largest fleet she ought to en-
dure the brunt of the work.
Great Britain, however, is reluctant to
constitute herself the policeman of Eu-
rope and to discharge a distasteful duty.
This state of affairs applies also to Italy
and France, and certainly to Admiral Ca
naviro, the Italian officer in command of
the allied fleets, who offered to resign
rather than take part in the blockade. In
so doing he represented the feeling of the
Italian nation, but in the interest of the
concert of the powers he was advised to
remain as his post.
Great Britain, France and Italy favor
concessions which will enable Greece to
recede from her present situation. Russia
and Austria appear to be rather unde-
cided as to what course to pursue, but
Russia is credited with the desire to allow
the Cretans to decide their fate by pleb
iScite.
Germany declines to yield on any point,
and besides she is encouraging Turkey
against Greece and refuses to consent to
the broad scheme of autonomy for Crete
which has been proposed by the other
powers There is a rumor at Athens that
Germany has at last been informed that
since she makes no sacrifice she Is not in
a position to dictate. If this is true, the
concert of the powers may still become
something more than a mere name.

SIX MuRDERERs UNDER SENTENCE.
Governor Rogers Defines His View of
the PardOnfng Power.

Olympia, April Pit is apparent that
the six murderers awaiting execution in
this state the latter part of the month
need not expect to escape the gallows
through the intervention of gubernatorial
cIemency. In reply to recommendations
made by the board of pardons that the
sentence of death pending against r. H.
Straub of San Juan county and William
Carey of King county, be commuted to
life Imprisonment Governor Rogers says
that he believes the pardoning power Is
given to the executive to be used where
there has been a miscarriage of justice
and that q governor Is not justified in
multiplying a law because it does not meet
with his approval; that the responsible
ty rests with the judge and prosecuting
attorney, and If they ask for a commu-
tation it will be granted; otherwise the
sheriff must do his duty.

lands. Warden Lands had been told that
there would be $4,000 in it,
When pressed for further particulars
Warden Lands stated that he had Ibis
conversation with Ex-Governor l.. ID.

latter had not stated who was to be bene-
fitted by the $4,000. whether the state or
others, and he also reminded the COM
mtttee that no bill for the purchase of
such lands had been introduced. But this
was only a circumstance to the sensation
that followed, when representative Metz
Ter of Sheridan county testified that he
had been offered $50 to vote against the
