men at the Brooklyn navy yard was in
creased to-day, and the men will work day
and night until all the vessels available
are ready for service. The mosquito" fleet
is being overhauled as rapidly as possible,
and the work is progressing satisfactorily.
The battle ship Texas has donned her war
paint, and from the water line to the truck
is a dull slate color. The reports that some
of the plates in her bottom We're badly stove
in by her fouling reef off Tortugas have
been grossly exaggerated. The extent of
the damage is an indentation about nine
teen feet long, eighteen inches wide and
from two to three inches deep, and begins
about eighty feet from the bow on the port
side Of the vessel. On the inside of the
ship the dent does not show and there is
no leak There never was any intention or
docking the Texas when ordered to the
yard. She was ordered sent there for the
express purpose of having alterations ana
improvements made on her twelve-inch gun
turrets. Formerly it took nearly eight min
utes to load and fire either of these guns,
but when the new devices have been com
peted this can be done in less than three
minutes which will make the Texas as good
as two battle ships. To-day the Texas took
on provisions and additional ammunition,
and by Monday she will be ready for
service.
Orders were received by the commander
of the New York naval reserves to-day to
send one hundred men to League Island:
Philadelphia to bring to this port one OF

resolution giving the Governor 100000 to ex-
pend, in case Of war, in enlisting, equipping
and sending to the front Iowa's quota OF
troops for Cuba. The resolution met with
a little opposition in the House, where some
of the members seemed to think that an
extra session in case of war would be
more serviceable but these objections were
soon overcome when the advantages OF hav-

demonstrated A number of short speeches.

passed resolutions indorsing the course OF

DIR. CARSON ACCEPTS.
Gold Democrat Nominated for Mayor

HUNTINGTON, Ind, April 1.-The city
Republican nominating convention last
night resulted in selecting for mayor DR..
w. f. Carson. who, for many years, has
been a prominent Democrat, but who

Carson accepted the nomination in a bril-

THE spectacle of a Republican conven-
ton nominating an old-line Democrat for
an important position is an unusual one in
politics and will require few words of eX-
PLANTATION for the benefit of those who may
not be familiar with ali the circumstances.
In order, therefore, to avoid any misunder-
standing may as well state in the very be-
ginning that | am not a Democrat within
the present acceptation of that term. With
the Democratic party, as it is at present
organized and controlled, and with the prin-
ciples advocated by that party, have
neither fellowship nor sympathy. The De-
mocracy lost my trade two years ago, when,
against the advice of its great leaders, it
abandoned the principles which had been
years, for the doubtful prospect of securing
the support of few thousand visionary

Republicans-even if there should happen
to be 2 or cents difference between us on
the tariff.
Some of my Democratic friends have
kindly advised me against taking this stand
holding that by such a course | lose my
identity as Democrat and sacrifice my in
fiuence and prestige with that party. AS if,
gentlemen, ] had anything of that sort to
lose Why, the very idea strikes me as a
capital joke. They have absolutely no use
for us except that our votes might possibly
come handy on election day. The same rea-
sons, gentlemen, which justified US in bolt
ing the Democratic ticket in 1896 are equal
ly cogent in 1885,
Everywhere the Democratic party is re-
affirming its faith in the Chicago platform
and pledging anew its support to the dis
credited leader of 1896; and there is no pros
pect that their zeal will abate until they
have received another sound drubbing at
the polls. What, then, gentlemen, is our
duty? Manifestly it is to join issues with
the Republicans in local. state and national
campaigns, until that monstrous financial
heresy-free silver-shall have been forever

The President Had Many Callers
Two Cabinet Meetings.

Two Cabinet Meetings.
WASHINGTON, April President Nc
Knley had many visitors to-day. Among
the first to arrive this morning was Senator
Davis, of the foreign relations committee.
The President went over the situation very
thoroughly with the senator and showed
him the dispatch from Madrid that arrived
late last night. When the interview was
ended Senator Davis jumped into his car
rage hurriedly and drove off with the
statement that he could not reveal what
had taken place. 1t can be reiterated au-
thoritatively that the latest dispatch, from
Madrid was thoroughly unsatisfactory to
the administration. It's dissatisfaction was
openly announced during several OF the con-
ferences that took place during the morn
ing hours. The note was received late last
night and after it had been read by the
President and Judge Day an effort was
made to communicate with several other
members of the Cabient. In view of the
grave significance of the dispatch it was
considered very deliberately, and the re-
ply of this government deferred until the
President could consult with the members
of his official family of advisers.
That the President has less confidence in
a peaceable ultimate outcome some of those
who saw him to-day said was apparent
from the views he expressed to several of
his closest friends While he expressly re-
Trained from stating that he had given up
all hope one of his close political friends

with the President that settlement on a
peace basis seemed exceedingly unlikely.

ment In Congress- and is taking the leaders

in accord with him, he Is not attempting to
withhold the information Ia his possession
from them but at the same time Is taking

PHILADELPHIA. April 1.-The COM
manders of the Pennsylvania National
Guard say the guard in this city could go
out with every company marked up to its
full war complement of one hundred men
inside of forty-eight hours. On emergency
call every company could go out with its
peace complement inside of five hours. In
spite OF assertions TO the contrary it is Il
matter of fact that instructions have been
issued to have the guard in readiness to
move, and every preparation is going for
ward to that end. Orders were received
here to-day from Governor Hastings to the
commanders of the Pennsylvania naval re-
