Mr. Ijams was asked about the interview with C. W. Williams, in which be announced that three match races would be trotted this year between Axtell and Allerton. 'Mr. Williams mast have been misunderstood," said Mr. Ijams. "fori cannot believe he ever made such a statement. No match between Axtell and Allerton ban been arranged. AxtelTs stud wervice will not end until about the ltof July. Ho will then be taken up for regular work, and if be trains as we nave every reason to believe he will, we are standing ready to race him against any horse. 15ut yon can see the lolly of making match races now so far in advance of the time when we shall be able to determine what Axtell can do." SOW IT IS A LEATHER TBCST. Scheme of an English Syndicate to Pool the Tanners of the United States. Philadelphia, Feb. 14. xVmornlnarfiper says: One of the most gigantic schemes that has ever been projected in the leather trade is now being attempted by a combination of English capitalists whose agent or representative has been for sometime in this country. It is a consolidation of the tanners of the United States into a trust or syndicate with headquarters in the East and a local ofliee in each tate. The English syndicate has already been formed and 5,000.000 of its capital stock has been subscribed for. The names of its members have not yet been made imblie. but they are stated to be among the most prominent leather merchants in tbat country. The inducement wimh the syndicate holds out to the tanners of this country is an entirely new proofs of tanning the leather by means of a liquid that practically eliminates time from the operation Under the old method it takes from forty to lifty days to tau a calfskin, while with tbe new process it can be accomplished within ten hours.

WHEN

AND Minneapolis, Feb. 14. Swift and magnificent as a finish in the American Derby is tbe way Minneapolis is coming nnder the wire with the preparations for the Republican convention. So much has been written and published criticising tbe ability of Minneapolis to care for the great gathering which is to be here in June that Chairman George A. Bracket, of the executive committee, to-day made publio the soheme of entertainment. He shows that a system of elaborate reports have been arranged covering the twin cities' entire facilities. As fast as applications come in he makes the proper assignments. In those instances where nothing but the "West or the Nicollet" will do, the very best arrangements are made that can possibly bo had under the circumstances. No delegation, or club, or individual need land in Minneapolis next June without having ample quarters arranged in advance. The arrangements for tbe accommodation of the "press gang" is likely to prove one of tho great features of the convention, and cause hearty approval from the quill-dnvers when they shall arrive and see for themselves what is going on for their comfort. In company with the Minneapolis executive and press committee a visit was paid today to'the press hoadquarters,located in tbat magnificent structure known thoughont the Northwest as the New York Life Building. This cost $1,100,000. and is not only beautiful and original in design bnt Is one of tbe most complete office buildings in the world. It is eleven stories high, elegantly finished, with all the convenience! of a modern hotel. Its entrance halls, receptionrooms, library, baths and toilet-rooms are perhaps np to any hotel in America. The steps and lloors are of Tennessee marble, and the ceiling frescoed and studded with electrio lights. Four large elevators are running day and night, so that every one will have ready and easy conveyance to every fioor at all hours in the twenty-four. There are 150 rooms in the building. One of the largest house-furnishing companies in the city has taken the contract to furnish these rooms, as well as some eighteen large committee-rooms located on dillerent floors. These apartments are all connected with each other as well as the hallways, and can be used single or en suite. Out of the army of newspaper men applying for accommodations, nearly two hundred have left their location and head quarters to the hotel and accommodations committee. It was to secure complete sat isfaction in this direction that the New York Life Building, which had just been completed and decorated recently, was secured. Only a few of its olhces and cone of its banking and reception rooms had been occupied. Accordingly, an appeal to .Mr. Booth, of rew lorlr, who has imme diate charge of the company's building. was made for tbe use of the grand struct ure. At lirat the proposition did not meet with favorable consideration, but Mr. Booth could not resist the argument that it was the newspaper men of America whoso comfort was at stake, lie promptly tnrned tbe magnificent building over to the ex ecutive committee to oe converted into a temporary home for ths representatives of newspaperdom. The press headquarters, thus located at the corner or Jblith street and becond avenue south, are no further from the conven tion hall than the leading hotels, beinz on the same street and at an equal distance from tho various depots. It is believed that the convention, as a whole, will be cared for with as much satisfaction as hitherto in Chicago and other great cities of the country, and it is positively assured that tne press win be cared for in a man ner most satisfactory. The convention halljproper will seat eleven thousand peo ple, and is so arranged tbat every spectator can see not only tbe sneaker's .stand. but also every individual spectator of the other odd 1U.WJ present. MOMENTARY HAFPI BRIDE Sees the Form of II er Ilcsband Ground to Pieces bj an Overland Locomotive. West Berkley, CaL, Feb. 14. A pe culiarly sad accident ocenrred here last evening. F. J.

Four Thousand Men Participate in a Success ful Ilant Near Girard, Kan. GlRARD, Kan.. Feb. 14. The wolf drive. for which preparations have been in prog ress for two months, took place yesterday. At 9 o'clock in the morning about lour thousand men surrounded a section of country measuring ten miles square.

Mir;xEAroM?, Minn., Feb. 14. A monster mass-meeting was held this afternoon at the Lyceum Theater to protest against a recent ordinance passed bv the Cltv Conncil, forbidding any one save a police officer to prosecute saloon keepers who violated the liquor ordinance. So great was the in dignation among the general public that the theater was unable to hold the crowd and overflow meetings were held at Plymouth Congregational. Church and the Hennepin-avenue Methodist Church, and an extra meeting in the evening. It was a meeting irrespective of creed or politics. No violent speeches were made but the aldermen came in for severe censure and the people wero appealed to Attend tho primaries.

TRICKS OF THE SMALL GROCER

Dow Oleomargarine Is Palm-iJ Off on Unwary Customers for Dairy Batter. The Deception Practiced to Such r.n Extent that Hon cress uui Liiceiy Amend and Make the PrescntLaw More Strict. Baron Fava Evidently Not in High Favor with Premier Kudini, of Italy. As Minister to Denmark Ills Salary Will Bo $11,000 Less than at Washington A Week of Gajetj at the CapitalThe Woods Case. OLEO PEI TO STATESMAN. Served as Dairy Butter In the Hotels at the Capital How the Law la Violated. fecial to tbe Indianapolis Journal. Washington. Jan. 14. Knral readers of these dispatches will be interested in learning tbat the internal revenue authorities here have discovered that butterine or oleomargarine is sold in the leading market stalls of Washington as pure dairy butter. and that it is served as such at the princi pal hotels, and there appears to be no law to punish the oflenie. The oleomargarine is sold from the original casks, tubs and firkins, which are properly branded as required by law, but the firkins, casks or tubs are never seen except by the dealers: so oleomargarine is taken from the original packages and displayed on tbe counters with pure butter, and where no mention lsmade of oleomargarine by the purchaser none is made by the dealer, and thus no misrepresentation is made, although the purch aser believes he buys pure butter, when he gets oleomargarine jour iiuca wun ui . vuugress will be asked to ainena ine law so as tr rennlrA denlura to brand every Diece of oleomargarine, in the roll or bulk, as it goes into tbe hands or tne purcnaser, so as to plainly show what it is, and no place will bo left for fraud. The nre-ent law is broad enough if en forced rigidly. It directs that all oleomar garine, when sold, wnetner in urmns or rolls, in u fit be stamped as such, the penalty for disregarding this actbeing a fine of 3100, one-half of ,the amount to go to the informer. The greatest harm done the legitimate dealer by tbe sale of oleomargarine is through the small grocery stores, which sell tbe stuff to tleir customers as butter. It is believed the oleomarsarme law is everywhere disregarded by the retailers to a large extent. - AARON FAVA IN DISFAVOR. Ills Transfer to Denmark Regarded as Evi dence Ilia Course Here Was Not Apr roved. Eperlal to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Feb. 14. In view of tho statement of ex-Governor Albert O. Porter, now at Indianapolis, that his return to his official pott of dnty as minister to Italy de pended upon the locating of nn Italian minister in Washington, thereby re-estab lishing diplomatic relations between tbe Italian and United States governments, the following from to-day's Washington Gazotte will be of interest to Journal readers: "If the report is correct that the Italian government intends to send as minister to Washington its present minister - to Den mark, ben or Catalan!, - replacing - him with Baron lava, it would seem to indicate that Premier Kudini does not think that Huron Fava earned a promotion by his conduct while in Washington. Ther Italian minister to Washington is paid a salary of 10,000 a year, while the Italian minister to Denmark receives only tbe modest salary of 5,000 a year, laking it for erantcd that a ministers salary is some criterion of the importance of his mission. the sending of Baron i ava to Denmark can hardly bo regarded a promotion. enor Catalan!, who. it is said, is coming here as minister, is very highly spoken of. He was formerly attached to tbe Italian embassy at Paris, where he distinguished himself by his tact ana ability." WEEK OF SOCIAL GATETY. Receptions, Dinners and Dances Galore Last Week at the National CapltaL Special to the Indianapolis J ournaL Washington, Feb. 14. The week ended yesterday capped the climax of the social season. Snoh a round of gayeties has not been witnessed in Washington as this win ter has provided. Old residents say tho year lSOQsurpasses in the brilliancy, variety and nnmber of its social events anything they can recollect. Friday night presented a wider rango of entertainment than any night of tho week which passes into his tory as the brightest of all. Dr. and Mrs. Hammond, at their elegant residence. Belmond. on tbe hill north of the city, and Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Brown, gave elaborate dances, as did also Mr. Ho Chen Chee, secretary of the Chineso legation. Senator and Mrs. Quay introduced their daughter Uorala to a fashionable garnering or wasnington people, including a large representa tion of the families of the associates of the host in the Senate. On Thursday night Secretary and Mrs. Noble gave a dinner to the President aud Mrs. Harrison in which Mrs. isoble seta new precedent in table etiquette in the manner of seating a company at a table at which the ofMcial bead of tho Nation is the guest of honor, by placing the 'President at the head of the table, she occupying a seat upon the rarht, while Secretary Noble sat at the opposite end of the table, with Mrs. itarrlson upon his right. The same evening Calumet Place, tbe home of Mrs. John A. Logan, was the scene of a gathering of brilliancy and beauty. I be occasion was a reception given by Mrs. Logan to her many f rlends. The first assembly ball was held at the Arlington Hotel Wednesday evening, and Its popularity was demonstrated by an at tendance of 450, among whom were the ultra fashionable of Washington society and their invited gnests. On the afternoon of the same day the handsome drawingroom of tho Secretary of War was for the first time open to tbe inspection of societv. and Mrs. Elkins cordially and gracefully received a tide of humanity. Last night the National Capital Press CKb gave its first pnblio dinner at the Hotel Cochran, at which 110 gentlemen, among whom were Cabinet officers. Sena tors and Representatives and other otlicials. sat down. During the evening there was an unbounded flow of wit aud rich rep artee. Many happy bits were made and the impromptu speech-making did not Conclude until after midnight. t The crush at the Annr and Navy reception by the President and Mrs. Harrison at the White House last Tuesday emphasized the necessity of an extension of the execu tive mansion by which those who attend these gatherings may be accommodated. rive or six thousand persons are even un able to get inside the mansion before the hour of tho termination of tbe receptions. The crnsh also emphasizes the dangers that surround a crowd in the old mansion. The operatives who wired the house for the eleetrio lights say that it is a veritable tinder-bos and it would burn with incon ceivable rapidity. The probabilities of such an event, which are always present. plead most strongly for a remodeling and extending of the structure. The means of egress are restricted to one narrow door and a window on the south side opening upon tne portico. MINOR MATTERS. The New Minister to Ecnador Is Uncle Sam's Youngest Diplomats, ejfclal to the IndiaDarolla Journal. Washington, Feb. 14. Rowland B. Mahany, of Buffalo, N. Y., who has been nominated by the President to be Envoy

Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Ecuador, is probably the youngest man ever selected for such an important position, being less than twenty-eight years of age. He, however, is not only well qualified for the position, but is looked upon as one of thecoming Republican leaders in western New York. He is a direct descendant of the well-known Mali any family in Ireland, and. although a Protestant, has tho united support of the Catholic Irish in 13 a Halo, Father Crown having personally worked energetically to Becure him this appointment. In 14. while a student in Harvard College. Mr. Mahany successfully prevented the president of that college from carrying the majority of the students against Blaine. From this little incident sprang np a close friendship between Blaine and this brilliant young man, which was first shown by the appointment of the latter as secretary of the Chilian legation two years ago, which was declined, and now by this important appointment, Political Situation In Iowa. f rr rial to lhe Icdltnajolls Journal. Washington. Feb. 14. Judge J, W. McDilL of Iowa, who was recently appointed Interstate-commerce Commissioner, eays this of Iowa politics: Governor Boies's election was not a political victory. It represented the combined element of dissatisfied Republicans and the entire Democratic party. 1 think Iowa will certainly cast its

electoral vote for Harrison. This is made more certain, in my opinion, by the declaration of Mr. Blaine, that be is not a candi date. The Alliance is not very strong in Iowa. The Prohibitionists there generally vote the Republican ticket. The Prohibition party proper is now a very unimpor tant factor in Iowa politics. I think, were Governor Boies giveu a place, either first or second on the national Democratic ticket. local pride would induce a number of voters, Republican in sentiment, to vote the Democratic national ticket, though not enough to swing tlie Htate out of the Re publican line. The .Legislature is in ses sion, and from preseut indications there will be no chango in tbe liquor law. the Republicans holding tho House aud the Democrats tho Senate.1' Arizona and Oklahoma to Re Admitted. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Feb. 14. There is every reason to believe now, as exclnsively an ticipated in these dispatches some months ago, that the result of the statehood agitation before the House committee on Territories will be the adoption of a bill ad mitting Arizona and Oklahoma to state hood, buch a measure will receive prompt favorable action in the Senate and tbe unhesitating signature of President Harrison. Neither Utah nor New Mexico can come in just yet. The Woods Nomination. Special to tbe Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Feb. 15. Chairman Iloar has so far recovered from bis indisposition as to warrant the belief that the Senate committee will take final action on the judicial nominations before it to-morrow morning. If the nomination of Judgo W oods is reported to-morrow it will likely be confirmed by the middle of the week. General Notes. Special to the Indiai apohs Journ&L Washington, Feb. 14. C. S. Martindale, of Hartford City, is at the Howard. Tbe annual Hoosier social reunion, under the auspices of the Indiana Republican Club, of Washington, will take place on Wednesday evening, the 17th in St.. in the hall of the Builders' Exchange. President John Cheney is perfecting arrangements to make this the lnrgest and most enjoyable social ever given by the club. Dr. B. J. uatling. who was reported to have located an ordnance foundry at Marion, is here yet, and nays smokeless powder is the greatest inventon of modern war arrangements, lie is trying to urge Congress to take decisive steps toward coast defenses, in which hia heavy guns are to bo employed. DUEL BY MOONLIGHT. Mexican Fatally Wounded by ah American The Latter's Life Saved by His Watch. Special to the Iodl&capolls JoornaL Eagle Pass, Tex., Feb. 14. At a fan dango given at Villa Mnquiz, a Mexican village forty miles south, last night, Harry Carmen, an Amorican telegraph operator, and Cuerto Flores, a young Mexican ranchero, became involved in a quarrel over a fair eenorita. The American was chal lenged to a duel and promptly accepted. Tbe nrinclpals and their seconds stepped out of tbe dance-hall and measured oil the required number of paces in the center of the street. The moon gavo a Hood of light, and they could easily distinguish each other. Two rounds were fired. Neither was hit tho first shots. Carmen receiving the bullet in his watch.

Pine Bluff. Ark., Feb. 14. John Kelly, tbe negro who murdered J. T. McAdam on the streets in this city last Tuesday night, was captured at Rlson, Ark., a little station on the Cotton-belt road twenty miles south of Pine Blnff. The capture was made by Town Marshal J. . Harrison, and he was instructed by Chief of Police Nelson to bring the prisoner to this city on the first train. The news of the capture spread quickly through the town, and when it became known that Kelly would reach here on a freight train about 9:S0 o'clock, a crowd commenced congregating. The train reached the yard about 0:35 r. m., and was met by a mob of between three hundred and five hundred people. As soon as tho prisoner was identified, there was a cry of "To tbe court-house." Tbe officers in charge of the prisoner made a show of resistance and demanded that they be allowed to lodgo tbeir man in the city jail. Their efforts, however, were unavailing, and tbe excited crowd, which had cow increased to a thousand or moro persons, soon had the murderer in their possession. They marched up Main street to the courthouse steps. A rope was soon displayed aud cries of "Hang him" were raised by hundreds of throats. The prisoner was called on to speak, lie claimed tbat be was innocent. A rope was speedily put over the croespin of a telegraph polo immediately in front of the court-house and the body of John Kelly was soon hanging forty feet in tho air and his body riddled with bullets. Tne execution took place In the glare of eeveral electrio lights and was witnessed by about 10,000 people, many of them being wemen hemmed iu by tho crowd on their way from church. The prisoner in his remarks before ho was executed claimed that he had information that would lead to tho arrest of tho perpetrators of several other murders which had been committed recently in this section of the State, The orowd, thinking this only a ruse to protect himself, would not let him off. As the body of tbe lifeless man swung from side to side the air resounded with cries of "Lynch Culbert Harris, his accomplice.77 A rush was made for tho jail, in the rear of the court-house, and men, with axes. commenced breaking in the windows. They soon eflected an entrance, and Harris was quickly pointed out by tho other prisoners. He urged to be hesrd a few moments, and the crowd listened, but his words were not satisfactory. "Hang him; bang him' was the cry, and he was quickly taken to the front of tbe court-bouse and another rope was secured. As the clock on tbe courthouse tolled tbe quarter before 11 the body was jerked into the air. Simultaneously 'there was a report of a hundred shots and the body was riddled with bullets.

When interviewed relative to tbe National Cordage Company and the National Union' Company's scheme to control the Farmers' Alliance, Alonzo Waddell, president of tho Alliance Association and defunct Fidelity Insurance Company, declared to-day that ho had no personal connection with tho scheme, but that last summer, while working for the Alliance, he would frequently say a good word ,for tho National Union Company. He assumed that tho National Cordage Company and Watcrbury & Co. were interested in tho scheme because it would open for them new avenues for their goods, particularly bagging and twine. He says teat a check for Il20o0 was given as an evidence of good faith, and to show tbat the company had plenty of money with which to fulfill all contracts. He, however, decalres that the new scheme has no official connection with the Farmers' Alliunce nor has tbe National Alliance indorsed it. Manufacturers of all lines of goods will bo taken into the company stores, which are to be established wherever satisfactory evidence of support is given. It is learned tbat should the St. Louis labor conference have its attention directed to it then tho national conventions of both great political parties will have it sprung on their.. Waddell regards the scheme as the one for which the Alliance was originally organized, and for which it has always labored. In short, the co-operative system and tho combining ot Alliance purchases and sales, thereby doing away with middlemen. ttill tho new scheme is no part of the Alliance, and he thinks newspapers are being paid for devoting space to the subject. . - Montana's Hpphtre Fields.

TIITJ SILVrit SIDE. Mr. Inland's Commute Argues Laborious! in Favor of Free Coinage. Washington, Feb. 14. The report of tbe majority of the committee on coinage. weights and measures, recommending tho passage of the Bland free coinage bill will be presented to the House to-morrow by Mr. Bland, and, by consent ot the minority of the committee, it has been made publio to-night. The report is a long and carefully prepared document, which discusses the various objections to freo coinage, showing where, in the opinion of tbe majority, those objections are ill-founded, and bow freo coinage of silver would greatly benefit this country and especially the producers. The report begins with an explanation of the provisions of the bill reported. Fro coinage of silver is provided for, and it is required that it be of standard fineness to meet the cost of the alloy used, tbe alloy being all the expense now exacted ot depositors of gold. Coin notes may be issued on the gold or silver deposited, if demanded, instead of waiting for the coin. The committee raised the maximum denomination of these notes from S500 to $1,000. so as to accommodate dealing in large transactions and bank exchange. These notes are made legal-tender, redeemable in coin on demand. Tbe bill provides for the conversion of all our gold and silver notes into coin notes, redeemable in coin, thus doinjx away entirely with all legal distinctions. It is believed this will greatly tend to promote equality in all respects. There will no longer be issued gold notes or silver notes, but bimetallio notes, payable in either coin at the pleasure of the government. Tbe report says it is contended that the reason we exported silver bullion while our mints were etill open to its free coinage was that our ratio was such tbat our com and bullion silver was worth more, as compared to gold, at European mints than here, and that tho same result would again follow, our ratio remaining at 10 to 1, witn the French mints open to tree coinage at 15 to 1. This.it is held, would prevent European nations, especially France, irora again returning to the bimetallic system. To avoid this tbe committee provided that our ratio should be changed to 154 to 1 so soon as France resumes lreo silver coinage at that ratio. "THE DUMP OF SILVER." Under the head "The Dump of Silver" tbe report proceeds to a discussion of the cry that free coinage of silver would rrake the United States the dumping ground for the silver of the world. The rcpoc says: "The familiar warning that free coinage would cause ship-loads of silver from other countries to be brought here and dumped at our mints in exchange for our gold ! still urged. How ran this bo under the bill or proposed lawf Tho ship-load of silver brought to our mints by the loreigner would be coined into standard dollars and these dollars returned to him, bnt he could not go to our treasury and demand gold for them. Nor could he compel our citizens to swap him a gold dollar for a silver dollar; tbat is a voluntary trade that no law onght to interfere with, tihould the foreigner take com notes for bis bullion Instead of coin the same thing happens. He can take bis coin note to the treasury and demand redemption, but the note is redeemable ia coin, and the Secretary of the Trea? ury can band him back the coin struck from bis ship-load of bullion. The foreigner then would ascertain ,that he had committed tho blunder of bringing silver to our mints when it is worth 3 cents on the dollar less than It was at borne, and that be loses this Scents and tbe cost of transportation besides. What, then, will be do with bis money! He must either invest It in property Here or go home with it. He could not buy gold with it or gold exchange unless gold and silver were at pan in this case there could bo no reason for preferring the one metal to tho other. If gold went to a preminai he would have to pay the premium on his exchange, thus entailing on him additional loss on his enterprise of sending us ship-loads of silver. "If he invests his fhip-load of silver money in our property and business enterprises it will at once stimulate industries, awaken enterprises and give us a healthy business and sound currency. What more can be desired? Every ship-load of silver thus brought hero and invested in productive wealth would have a two-fold cilecL It would bring unexampled prosperity to this country, 'lhe next etlect would be panics in tlie old world. Business there would be paralyzed for want of money; their prosperity dostroyed. Prosperity hero and stagnation in the old countries would forco ship-loads of their people to this country in search of their lost ship-loads of money. The nations of the old world are aware of this. They would see to it that no such thing occurred; they know tbe advantage free coinage of sirrer would guarantee us. hence their uniform predictions that calamity would be tbe result, instead of prosperity. They are not in the habit of giving us trustworthy advice as to the course we should pursue in this matter.'7 SECRETARY WINDOM's POSITION. The report then quotes from tho report of Mr. Windom, then Secretary of the Treasury, for the year 1SS9, in which the Secretary took the position that no danger need be apprehended of a flood of European silver. Says the Secretary: Tbere Is in fact no known accumulation of sliver bullion anywhere in tho world, tiennmy long since dlpoelof her lock in lucked llvcr coiis, party by sa!o partly ly recolnJU'S into l:t r new subsidiary coin, and partlr by use in romluic for J'ljcypt.
