sheep-He VIII Carry Out the
Platform of His Congressional
District Convention.

Washington, March 27.-Representa-
tive Slayden, the Texas democrat who
will vote for the tariff bill, said tonight as
to his course:
'My position is that the policy of large
ly supporting the government by indirect
taxation will not be abandoned. While it
is to be continued, can see no good rea-
son why the people of my district should
not share in the advantages of its assess
ment. I believe in tariff on wool levied
so as not to be discriminating, as suggest
ed in the national democratic platform.
The people of my district were greatly in,
jured by the free raw material policy of
the Cleveland administration. They re-
garded it as against the producer. Its
effect was felt throughout the district. In
1892 the assessors in Texas collected
taxes taxes upon 4,961 900 sheep; in 1896
upon 2,14O,SS9. If this ratio of decrease
is continued we will apparently soon be
compelled to buy all our wool for oul
clothes abroad, and in the event of wal
and blockaded ports our condition might
become really deplorable.

Crescent City Derby.

New Orleans, March 27.-The Crescent
City clubs meeting closed today, having
run, 115 days. Crescent City derby,
$2500, for 3-year-olds at mile and
half, was down for today and aroused
greater interest than any turf event since
the days of the Howard and Kenneth
stake events and other southern classics.
Hugh McCarren's bay colt P. Dunno,
by Iroquois- -Bandana, who has shown
stake form in his races here this winter,
was the local idol, and it was the money
of the home plungers that sent him to the
post favorite at to 5. His only recog-
nized rival was j. Schorr & Sons bay
colt Meadowthorpe, by Cantata-Baby,
who has been prepared at Memphis and
who was credited with several fast trials.
In the parade past the stand, p. Dunno
and MeadowthOrpe divided the applause
between them, but the McCarren candi-
date showed firmness which soon alien
ated considerable portion of his sup
port At the post Meadowthorpe acted
fretful and discontented and in the final
break he was nearly the last to get into
motion. Pocketed, messed-about and in
terfered with, his chances of winning
seemed to be gone, when, nearing the
| three-quarters, Murphy found an opening
and forced him through, going around
most of the bunch and sweeping down
the home stretch, he passed under the
wire an easy winner. Donna Rita, Tony
Licalz' Blazo-Active flly, ran an excellent
race and finished a strong second, while

ish, however, the insurgents withdrew,
leaving a number of dead on the field Of
the government forces one major, two
captains and sixteen soldiers were killed
and forty-six wounded.
The troops again resumed the march for

they were constantly harassed by insur-
gents. After the column reached the
Cantilla river the insurgents made des-
perate attempt to prevent them from
crossing. After a desperate struggle the
position of the insurgents was seized. The
troops lost on officer and had six soldiers
seriously wounded. Before Gen Reyes,
With his column, reached Jiguini, the in
surgents had laid siege to the town, US

As to Naturalization.

Washington, March 27.-Negotiations
are afioat at the instance of the Spanish
minister for revision of our treaties with
Spain, particularly with view of bring
ing the rules ~ regards the treatment of
naturalized citizens in conformity with
more modern treaties. If the same rule
is to govern in the revised treaty as ap-
plies to these, two years domicile by a
naturalized citizen in his country will be
presumptive evidence of abandonment of
naturalization. If the Spanish minister
succeeds in his design a similar request
will be made by the Turkish minister in
behalf of his government.
