REMOVED TO ROCKVILLE.
Taylor and Brown in Jail There
Awaiting Execution.

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, August 17.-Arm-
stead Taylor and John Alfred Brown who
are to be executed here tomorrow morning
for the Rosenstein murders, were brought
from Frederick this morning on the train
due to arrive here at $50. They were in
the custody of Sheriff A. NJ. Patterson and
Deputy j. w. Robinson, and were hand
cuffed together.
Although it was generally known that the
men We're to be brought here this morning,
their arrival created little or no excite
ment. The fact is, there is scarcely any in
terest whatever in the community in re-
gard to the matter. The citizens generally
are well satisfied with the conduct and out
come of the trials, hardly any one believ-
ing that there is a shadow of doubt as to
the guilt of the two men.
Taylor and Brown were lodged in Jail in
separate cells. Their apartments have been
made comfortable, and, is customary in
such cases, they will be allowed every
thing to eat that their appetites crave.
Their cells are on the ground floor of the
Jail, and each has window looking di-
rectly into the Jail yard, where the scat
fold is in full view. The condemned men
were placed under the watch of Deputies
Gather and Embrey. Brown is spending
his last day in religious devotion He has
nothing to say, but seems resigned to his
fate. He has given up hope of executive
interference. Iaylor seems TO realize his
position, but says he is ready to die. Be-
yond this he would say nothing this morn
ing.
Sheriff Patterson informed The Star re-
porter that Mr.. Wood. retained coun-
sci by Mr.. Belt, Browns former owner,
who is making strenuous efforts to secure
Communication of the death sentence, will
continue to work en- the case until the last
moment; yet Brown should not indulge in
any hope of a reprieve. Sheriff Patterson
also stated that Taylor insists upon
Browns completely in the crimes and quotes
Taylor as follows:
MY books are closed on that subject
What l said first l will say last-Brown
was with me-
Everything Is in readiness for the execu-
ton 1t will take place as early as practical
BILE tomorrow morning, probably by not
later than 10 O'Clock. The preparations
have been thorough and the affair." it is
believed, will pass off quietly.

THE ANPI-GoEBEL TICKET.
Result of the Boiling Democratic Con-
YcntiOn In kemtuckX.

The anti-Goebel democratic convention
which met at Louisville yesterday, nomi-
mated the following ticket: Governor John
Young Brown; lieutenant governor. Major
P. p. Johnston, Fayette county; attorney
general, Lawrence p. Tanner, Davies coun-
ty; auditor, Frank A. Pasteur, Caldwell
county; treasurer, John c. Broege, Kenton
county; secretary Of state, f. l.. Hines,
Warren county; superintendent of public
instruction, E. Q. Guerrant Montgomery
county; commissioner of agriculture, B. w.
Vandeever, Lincoln county.
The resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted, failed to indorse ex-senator j. {.
S. Blackburn for reelection, because his
old confederate comrades are mortified on
account of his espousal of the cause OF
William Goebel, the man who politically
slew his bosom friend and comrade, Colonel
John d. Sanford They espoused Bryan
and the Chicago platform, but the temper
of the convention seemed to Indicate that
Bryan would lot be Endorsed at the polls
should he come into Kentucky this fall and
take up the fight for Goebel. In condemn
ing President Mckinley for using his power
in the interest of the trusts the resolution
went beyond the point that many delegates
thought proper, and not few We're opposed
to this plank.
The committee on resolutions reported this
platform:
First-Declaring the action of the Louis
vile convention not binding.
Second-Demanding Law under that
clause in the constitution which says
fraud and bribery vitiate the title to an
office
Third-W. ]. Bryan and the Chicago plat,
form are Endorsed.
Fourth-The Goebel election law is de-
nounced.
FiftE-The regulation of railroads is ia
vored.
Sixth--The President Of the United States
is condemned for using mis- power to adj
vance the interests OF trusts.
Seventh-Such amendments to the school
book law as will provide good and cheap
books are favored.
The state administration is condemned,
and every good citizen who favors the pres
ervation of civil liberty is appealed to for
support in trying to redeem Kentucky from
republican rule.

He Says OpBOsition to Trusts il
Almost UNIVERSAL.

William ]. Bryan returned to his home in
Lincoln Neb.. yesterday, from a four
weeks speech-Inaking tour throughout the
middle west. During his absence he visit
ed the states of Arkansas, Missouri Iowa,
Wisconsin. Michigan, Indiana and Illinois,
and delivered about twenty-five addresses,
the concluding speech being at Des Mones,
Iowa where he talked to an audience of
many thousands.
In the response to an inquiry as to what
in his judgment was the trend of public
opinion on the questions which seem of SO
much interest to the people he said:
The sentiment for the reaffirmation of
the Chicago platform is SO nearly unan-
nous that / DO not believe any opposition
to that platform will be manifested at the
next national convention of the democratic
party
The opposition to the trusts is also uni
versal while the trend of sentiment against
the Presidents Philippine policy is unques-
tonably increasing.
When asked what were his views as TO
issue CT issues 10 the foreground he was
quick to respond that such u course was
hardly in accord with democratic doctrine.

Chicago Platform IndOrsed and War
in PHILIPPINES DENOUNCED.

The Iowa democratic state convention,
which met in Des Moines yesterday NOM
mated the following ticket:
Governor-Fred. E. White of Keokuk
county.
Lieutenant governor-M. L. Lewis of
Montgomery county.
Judge supreme court-A. Van Wagenen
of Woodbury. county.
Railway commissioner-W. H. Calhoun of
Marshall county.
Superintendent of public instruction-B. p.
Hoist OF Boone courty.
The popuist state convention also met
and Endorsed the above ticket. All the
nominees are democrats except Calhoun,
who was the populist candidate. The Chi
oago platform was Endorsed in its entirety,
and the democratic state committee was
empowered to fill any vacancies caused by
death or otherwise.
The platform, after ndorsing the Chicago
platform lin the whole and in the detail,
expresses admiration for and loyalty to
William Jennings Bryan, and favors him
for the nomination in 1900. The platform
continues:
I'VE rejoice in the exalted sentiment and
motive that prompted the government OF
the United States to take up arms in de-
Tense of the bitterly oppressed people of
Cuba, and in the successful termination of
the war with Spain, its patriotism, and the
bravery ulSpldEtu by our SOL
ders and sailors On land and sea.
War for liberation of the tyranny
cursed island was worthy of the
greatest republic and the most civilized
nation that has fourshed in the tides of
time; but for the same reason we glory in
the successful war against Spain we de-
precate and condemn war against the Fill
pnoS. One was for the emancipation
of a people the other for the subjugation of
a people, and If war against Spain was
right-and it was-that against the natives
of the Philippines, who have committed no
offense save to love liberty and to be will
ing to fight and die for it, is wrong.
I'VE condemn the war against the Fill
pinos believing it to have been inspired by
Great Britain for the purpose of producing
can alliance, and we not only protest
against the war and demand it's termination
by extension to the Filipinos of the same
assurance given to the CubanS, but we re-
cord our deep-seated antagoniSm to an al
lance with Great Britain or any other
European power, and express our detesta-
ton of the attempt made in British inter-
ests to disrupt the friendly relations which
have uniformly existed between the United
States and Germany. We oppose conGuests
of the Philippines because Imperialism
means militarism; because militarism
means government by force, and because
eminent by consent, destruction of politi-
cal and industrial freedom and the oblitera-
ton of equality of rights and assassination
of democratic institutions"
The platform closes with denunciation
of the trusts and the letting of convict la
Dor by contract.

OTIS AND HALE QUARRELED.
Sensational story by an Orderly of
Latter General.

A special to the New York Times from
Denver says: In a letter received here
from Henry Kerr, orderly of General Hale,
the latter is reported to have been recalled
from the firing line during an engagement
with the Filipinos and ordered to report in
person to General Otis.
General Hale was in the act of winning a
great victory, but he obeyed, withdrew the
brigade from the fighting line, and rode to
General Otis headquarters.
This is the conversation that is said to
have ensued:
General Hale you shall not obey me
while l am in command of this army.
want you to explain why you made that
movement with your brigade, said General
Otis, with venom in his tone.
Il did not disobey any orders, replied
General Hale, and well you know 1t. L
came here to fight, and ii that is not your
policy, l want you to understand that 1t is
mine. l saw opportunity to make
successful attack today, and tried to ac-
complish it, but you interfered and caused
me to fall
said General Otis, land you shall suffer
for it,
IF it does 1 shall prefer charges against
you for cowardice," Hale retorted.
You are an inferior officer, and If you don't
retract l will place you under arrest,
roared General Otis.
General Hale made no retraction, but he
drew forth from his pocket a set of army
regulations and referred Otis to section
stating that any subordinate officer had
the right to cause the arrest of a superior
officer for cowardice.
The war of words between the generals
was continued on these lines for over half
an hour, it is said. General Hale had the
better of the argument and General Otis
finally gave up the job of bulldozing, drop
ping the case entirely.
General Hale IN to three months ago in
tended to remain in the service, an. was
laying his plans to stay in the Philippines.
The friction between General Otis and HIM
self, however, caused him to change his In
tention, and he applied to be mustered out.
He is now on his way home.

Brother Fabrician. former president of ST.
Johns College Washington. d. c.. sailed
yesterday morning en- route for Paris on
the steamship Germanic. under orders from
the superior general OF the Christian Broth
ers to report to him for another charge
His removal to France is ascribed to the
resolution Of the superior general of the
order to compel the American brothers to
drop Latin and Greek from their curricu-
lum. The original rules OF the order found
ed in 1850 by Jean Baptist de la Sale pro-
hibiteC the teaching of Latin and Greek
When the order spread to this country con-
hitions were such that the religionists found
IL necessary To teach Latin and Greek in
their schools. The American bishops OBJ

languages were allowed 10 be taught by
them.
Brother Gabriel. the present superior gen.
eral however. seems determined to cause
the enforcement of this almost forgotten
rule American members of the order com

Gen. Juan Isidro Jiminez, the aspirant TO
the presidency of the republic of Santo
Domingo, will probably leave Havana for
Santo Domingo tomorrow. going by south
coast steamer from Batabano He will be
accompanied by two friends, and will travel

Santiago to the revolutionists emphasizing
the Importance of denying the prosperity
