sldcrei it obviously proper to call on the European powers which signed the treaty to do their duty." Mr. Bailey thought, at a time when we were maintaining the Impropriety of an European interference with the affairs of this continent, it was improper that we should seek to interfere with the affairs of Europe. Thus opened, the debate took wide range and evoked several eloquent speeches in denunciation of Turky, which were applauded to the echo. lienor Mendonca, the Jtrazllian minister, was an interested auditor in the diplomatic gallery. Mr. McCreary supported the resolution, because he thought the cause of the Armenians was the cause of humanity and Justice. It was. he urged, our duty to plead with European powers to enforce their treaty obligations. Mr. Bailey, while in entire sympathy with the rplrit of the resolution, again expressed doubt of the propriety of the United States insulting the European powers by declaring that they had entered into a contract which they had violated or had allowed the other party to violate. He thought the resolution should be confined to a single denunciation of the atrocities against the Christians. HEPBURN'S WARLIKE PROPOSAL. . Mr. Hepburn, In a bold speech, advocated going even further than the resolution did. His position evidently suited the temper of the House, for his utterances evoked great enthusiasm. The House had listened, he said, to a recital such as seldom fell on human ears. Thirty thousand Christians slaughtered by the unspeakable Turk because of their religious views. And what was it proposed to do? First, make a mild protest; then express sympathy with those who yet remained menaced by peril and suffering gTlef for slaughtered friends. They do not want sympathy," said Mr. Hepburn, impetuously. 'They need res.-ue. They do not want words, but deeds." (Prolonged applause.) These resolutions asked th? those countries that for year3 hai been derelict Jn their duty should discharge their treaty stipulations. What would be the result? All the world knew that England held the Turkish bonds, and that her capitalists, to the extent of hundreds of millions, were Interested In preserving the autonomy of the Turkish empire. "That," ald he, "Is what has kept this foul blot on the map." (Applause.) Russia was trying

ranean. Germany, France and Austria had Interests, and the interests of all could be best served by preserving the balance of power. The resolution would have no effect. "I want to do something. said Mr. Hepburn, "that will mean something. At the proper time I will propose an amendment to the resolution that the President be directed to furnish the Turkish minister with hl3 passports and terminate all diplomatic relations with the government of Turkey. That kind of a protest will mean something. (Great applause.) Gentlemen may say," he continued, "that such a course would not be diplomatic. Perhaps so, but it would be something mere than words. Let us say here to all the world that we will not recognize as a civilized government a country which permits such outrages; that she is unworthy to have a place among the cations." (Renewed applause,) IIITT STEMS THE TORRENT. Mr. HItt. chairman of the committee on foreign affairs, sought to stay the headlong enthusiasm with which Mr. Hepburn's suggestion seemed to meet by pointing out the dire consequences that must follow such a course. Mr. llitt said It would not do to terminate all Intercourse with a friendly power, which met all the demands of our treaties. "We want no friendly relations with a murderer," shouted Mr. Hepburn from his seat. His sentiments were applauded by those who were favorable to radical action, regardless of consequences. Our treaties with Turkey, Mr. HItt pointed out, had served to protect American citizens. "But." interposed Mr. Hepburn, "it has not stayed the knife or stopped the arm of the ruthless murderer." (Applause.) Mr. HItt asked for a. calm consideration of this grave and extraordinary proposition. The protection afforded by the code of international law was greater than the applause from the galleries, and enables us to put our arm anywhere amid massacre and bloodshed and save American life. Such protection was guaranteed American citizens in Turkey and should not be Jeopardized. The Armenians in this country did not want anything said in the House that would exasperate thos who were murdering and outraging their friends and relatives in Turkey, but they wanted an expression oi the sense of the Christian world that would force England and Russia to stop the horrors In Turkey by fulfilling their treatv ob ligations. He described how an American citizen had stood in one of the Armenian villages, guarded all about with the protection of the government, while tho massacres of Armenian Christians went on before his eyes. "He was not an American citizen If he stood by arid saw helpless victims slaughtered," shouted Mr. Hardy, of Indiana, indignantly. Mr. HItt explained that he was helpless to do anything. He proceeded to explain the care with which the resolutions had been drawn, and that It would not do to be too rash or hasty. He expressed regret that the evil was so great and the remedy so feeble. Mr. IlittV well-tempered remarks served to cool the ardor of many who had at first Peemed willing to go to tho length ' Mr. Hepburn proposed. Mr. McCreary asked Mr. Hepburn If his resolution would In any way ameliorate the condition of th Armenians. Mr. Hepburn said: "I want this protest to mean something when it goes abroad, not to fall on deaf ears. What docs England care, with her millions invested, for our protests? Europe might be startled by a drastic and unusual step." Turkey, hft said, was scanning the -bills presented by the United States, and meantime the murder and rape? went on. Mr. Herjurn endeavored to formally offer the amendment, but his time had expired and he was unable to secure recognition for It. OH. FOR A PETER THE HERMIT. Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, speaking of the Berlin treaty, said. "The civilized world In equity have become parties to that contract" Graver responsibility lay at the door of every civilized nation of Europe that had power, to enforce the contract on Turkey. While he was opposed to war except as a last resort, he said, "I would be glad If every line of that resolution was shotted with lead for tho murderers of the Turkish government; not the Turkish minister, but the British bondholders should bear tho brunt of blame." He wished that another Peter -tho Hermit would arise In Europe. The resolutions were not as strong as he desired, but the last clause gave promise that stronger measures might be taken If the matter came nearer to our doors. Mr. Adams, of Pennsylvania, deplored tho tendency which he taw in both houses of Congress to encroach upon the prerogatives of the executive in diplomatic matters. The United States had, 6uch a reputation for fair dealing among nations that many were asking her to settle their disputes, but If she proceeded so rashly she wouid lose that reputation. When no American citizen had been killed In Turkey it would be a fine recognition of that fact to give the Turkish minister his passports. Mr. Smith, of Michigan, told of a man In his district, a graduate of the University Of Chicago, who, with American, passports, was seized and chained in a Turkish dungeon. Mr. Bowers, of California, said that he: was not in sympathy with the Christian people who always wanted war averted and their missionaries protected. So long as th Houso was assured that the resolution meant nothing whatever there could be no harm in passing it. Mr. Hepburn's resolution was then offered, and Mr. McCreary made a point of order against it. that it contemplated an act which must be approved by the President. Mr. Hepburn said the committee resolution was mild and so polite as well as diplomatic that no one would give it a second thought. The peak?r overruled the point of order, whereupon Mr. Quigg said that when a man was doing something objectionable in his own household the only way to prevail cn him to stop was to ask him or to make him. The resolution provided the tirst method ithe amendment simply proposed an Insult. The Turkish minister and nine consuls In Turkey would be given their passports and many Americans would be left at the mercy of the Turks. An amendment was offered by Mr. Tart, of Ohio, which follows: "Rr solved. That the conscience of humanity fastens on the six Christian powers above named the responsibility for the continuance of the butchery of Armenian citizens; that the spectacle of these six leading powers permitting the murder of Christians who. by treaty stipulations, were J dare! under their special care. Is humllatlng to the last degree, and a discredit to the Christian religion throughout the worll. "Resolved, That the one of the signatory powers which first takes action under the Berlin treaty to prevent the further butchery of defenseless Armenian Christians will receive tho Krateful recognition, not only of the American people, but the entire civilized world." AMENDMENTS DEFEATED. The amendment was declared out of order and Mr. Hepburn's amendment failed by a vote of 13 to 121. Mr. Turner, of Georgia, then made a ceech in oppoeitlon to the adoption of the

resolutions. He said there was a Christian clamor against the Turkish government which the bravest were scarcely brave enough to withstand. Interference such as was proposed, was not only a violation of our traditional policy, but an impertinence. The signatory powers to the Berlin treaty were Christian nations and why should the United States assume to tell them what was their duty? The American minister, whose vigilance was commrnJet throughout the wcrld. had seen to It that no Americana were injured and the Turkish government was eager to pay for American property destroyed. Mr. Mahaney replied to Mr. Turner Mr. Taft then offered his amendment to the main resolution and it was entertained. Mr. Grosvenor declared that the resolution reported by the committee on foreign affairs dodged every point that might offend the Turkish government, and therefore placed the House, if adopted, in a position of shuddering, shivering cowardice. They did not speak the sentiments of the Christian people against the unspeakable crime of Turkey. When it was proposed to sever diplomatic relations with Turkey the committee replied that it would not do to do that lest Turkey might retaliate by murdering some of our citizens. He characterized this argument as not only cowardly, but ridiculous. When some of our sailors were killed at Santiago we did not hesitate because some American property might be destroyed or citizens killed, we sent warships there. Should we allow this "banded set of criminals" to kill, murder and burn and refrain from severing relations with such savages out of fear lest some of our own citizens should suffer? Were we not capable of protecting ourselves and our citizens? He asserted that American citizens had already been despoiled of their property and that missionaries from his own State had been murdered. We should demand reparation, said Mr. Grosvenor, as we did in the case of Chill. There was one characteristic of the British government referred to In the Senate a few days ago which ought to be ours, and that Is the one which follows with gun, ship and declaration of war every British subject In every corner of the world and vindicates him in the possession of his life and property. He denounced the resolution of the committee as an inefficient, incomplete and unworthy utterance. He asked that they be withdrawn, and something of a more vigorous character substituted. Mr. Brummell, of Pennsylvania, thought no such resolution would have been necessary had the executive been more American. If James G. Blaine had been at the head of the State Department Congress would not be called on to act. MR. HARDY'S SUGGESTION. ' Mr.: Hardy, of Indiana, argued that the United States should have become a party to the Berlin treaty to protect the Armenians In Turkey. A suggestion from him that the fleet now at Hampton Roads should pass the Dardanelles and make a demonstration against Constantinople received a scattering applause. After some remarks by Mr. Sperry, Mr. Taft's amendment was lost without division. Mr. Bailey then moved to refer the resolution to the committee on foreign affairs, without instructions. This motion was defeated. He then removed to refer it with Instructions to report back the resolutions amended so as to strike out ail reference to the request to the powers signatory to the treaty of Berlin to enforce the provisions of that treaty. Tne government of the United States, he said, could have become a party to that treaty, but, having declined. In obedience to Its traditional policy, it would not be proper now for tho United States to charge the parties to It with falling to carry out their obllgalons. "Did the United States have an opportunity to be a party to that treaty?" asked Mr. Hardy. "It did." replied Mr. Bailev. "Oh, no," interposed Mr. HItt "You are mistaken. At this point Mr. Qulgg cut off further debate by demanding the previous question. Mr. Bailey's motion was lost 41 to 119. The committee resolutions were then adopted 143 to 26. After transacting some minor business relating to the District of Columbia, the House, at 4:55 p. m., adjourned. SITUATION IS ARMEXIA.

Great Destltntlon In Hnrpoot nnd Other Ravaged Districts. BOSTON, Jan. 27. The. following letter from Constantinople, under date of Jan. 21, surveys the general condition of affairs In tho dusturbed districts of Turkey. The writer says the general situation 13 not good, though at some places It has improved, but confidence is weak. At Harpoot, destitution Is terrible beyond all comparison with other places yet heard from. At Mardin, it is still impossible to go outside of the walls of the city. At Blrlis there is more security for. the missionaries, who will probably remain there all winter. At Marash, Mr. Terrell has had new cautions given to the Governor and the promise of regular troops to replace the Redlf guard. Adana has suffered a good deal from pale. Hadjin is still safe, but reports are now circulating of trouble there. An order was issued for an escort to bring Miss Shattuck away from Oorfa, but she is unable to endure the Journey. Some relieving points of light occur, however, says the writer. The college (male) of the American board at Harpoot has commenced with its classes. At Sivas the missionary schools have been reopened and the people are venturing out quite fairly well to services. Relief work grows apace. In Van about 9.000 people are being helped with funds sent Dr. Grace Kimball, Of Bangor, Me., who has rented two public ovens for feeding refugees. Consul Hapson. at Moo3h, reports the Sassoun villagers still safe, and furnishing them with grain. In Treblzond about 5.00 people are being helped. At Harpoot relief work has been authorized after pressure from the English and American legations and the first $1,000 has already been distributed. At Constantinople missionary rooms are transformed into clothing warehouses. Clothing and bedding go mainly to near points, Treblzond and Cesarea. TALES OP AllMEMAXS. What Tvro Victims of Turkish Cruelties WltneHHert In Hnrpoot. NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Detalned on Ellis Island are two Armenians, who, under the Immigration laws, will have to be deported, unless they can secure tho necessary bonds which will entitle them to land. They say that deportation will simply mean starvation and death. The Immigrants are Peter de Garabadlm, twenty-two years old, and D. M. Gharcherdorrian, thirty years old. They arrived at this port on the Servia on Jan. 20, and they came from Harpoot. near Alexandretta. Both men tell tales of horrible cruelties which they have been subjected to at the hands of the Turks and give details of the wholesale murder of Armenians. Gharcherdorrian four months ago had a wife and three children. He is to-day without kith or kin. All the members of his family were slaughtered before his eyes by the Turks, and he was compelled to look on and see his wife first outraged and then killed. De Garabadim has alio seen some of his relatives killed during the massacres. After the masacre in which the wife and children were killed the two men decided to escape from the Turkish tyranny and seek a refuge with some relatives they have in this country, who live at Newton, Mass. They had a scanty stock of money, but both possessed some firoperty which could have been converted nto money If they had cared to do so. This course they knew would attract suspicion, and one night they left Harpoot together. At Smyrna their friends secured pasage for them for Marseilles, from which port they were furnished with sufficient funds to reach Liverpool and to take steerage passage on the Servia to this country. On their arrival at Ellis Island they found their difficulties were by no means ended. Neither of the men had any money, but they held tickets to Newtown. Mass. They were brought before Commissioner Senner, to whom they told their story. Dr. Senner wrote to an address in Newtown, Mass., making inquiries. An uncle of one of the Armenians came to this city in response to the Commissioner's letter. The uncle said he would provide for the men, but was unablo to furnish ths requisite $000 bond for each. Dr. Senner said that If these bonds were not given he should be compelled to send the two Armenians back. The 'ocal committee of the National Armenian relief committee was appealed to and the services of Alexander V. Campbell, who is counsel for the New York Armenian colony, was secured. Mr. Campbell had a conference with Commissioner Senner, who decided to hold the Armenians on Ellis IsUnd until Superintendent of Imlgration Stump has been consulted. In the meantime the Armenian colony In the city will probably take steps to secure the necessary bonds which will permit of their landing In this country. Here la Canae for "War. BOSTON, Jin. 27. The American board received the following cablegram from Constantinople by way of Phllippopolls this morning: "Turkey refuses Barnum leave to go to Erzerun to engage In relief work for Armenians, saying that the missionaries have proven disturoers. This is punishment without trial. United States Minister Terrell denounces the charges as calumnv." The Rev. Judson Smith, secretary of the American board here, ttates that the Barnum referred to is Rev. H. S. Barnum, of Constantinople, ard that the charge is absolutely without foundation, as all the missionaries have kept themselves free from all political complications In Turkey.

THE KELLARS' TJRIAL

Jl'IlY SECTHED TO TRY CLARA SIIAMvS'S ALLEGED 31 LRDCRERS. Henry County Farmer Shoots Himself After Climbing; on a. Straw Stack and Setting It on Fire. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Jan. 27. At the adjournment of court this evening a Jury had been secured to try Dan Kellar, together with his wife, Nannie, and his sister Maggie, for the murder of Clara Shanks. Nearly 100 witnesses were In the city from Parke and Fountain counties when the work cf securing a Jury began this afternoon, and more are yet to come, some willingly and others by means of attachments, for which Prosecutor Howard informed the court he would make a request. The court room was crowded, and when the three defendants entered this afternoon there was great curiosity to see them. Mrs. Kellar has been 111, but she insists on proceeding with the trial. The father and mother of the Shanks girl were present and sat a few feet from the accused murderers. About thirty householders of this county were called before both sides accepted the Jury. In examining the Jurors the state especially asked if they felt they had conscientious scruples against indicting capital punishment on a woman on circumstantial evidence. All the Jurymen are farmers, except two, who are residents of this city. There will be much medical expert testimony. The witnesses and others from Parke and Fountain counties say the interest in the case in the neighborhood of the tragedy is as Intense as it was at the time the body of Clara Shanks was found in the pool at Wolf creek cn the morning of July 7. At first it was thought she had committed suicide, but her parents told the circumsances of her departure from home, and this led to the suspicion that she had been murdered. The girl had complained to her mother that Mrs. Nannie Kellar, who lived across the road from the modest farm house of the Shanks, had been very rude toward her. Mrs. fehanks asked Mrs. Kellar the cause and was told that her husband, Dan Kellar, and Clara were too intimate. The girl indignantly denied the charge, but confessed that Kellar had made improper proposals to her. During the night the girl walked the floor, hysterically declaring her Innocence. The next morning sho and her mother went to the home of the Kellars and demanded a retraction, whereupon Mrs. Kellar called on her husband to confess that he had been intimate with the girl, and he did make the statement in their presence. That noon Clara abruptly left th; dinner table crying. It was thought she had gone to some some place in the w oods to be alone with her sorrow. When night came and she did not return, the whole nelghborhhod began a search for her. The mother wanted the Wolf creek pool searched that night. but was prevailed upon to wait until morning. Clara's brother Dannlel found the body and then went to Kellars. with a shotgun, and, telling Kellar that Clara had committed suicide, fired at him, but he was quick enough to Jump behind a door In which the charge of shot lodged. There was much dlsratlsfactlon over the coroner's verdict of suicide, and a week later, at a citizens meeting, it was decided to hold an autopsy. The body was exhumed, when it was four' "t the neck had been broken and the back part of the skull crashed in. Tho surgeons reported tkat death had been caused by violence and not by drowning. A court of inquiry was held and the Kellar3 told their story and they were acquitted. A subscription fund was raised to employ detectives, and the two Indianapolis detectives who were instrumental In securing the conviction of the Rev. Hlnshaw, were employed. As a result, John, Daniel, Nannie and Maggie Kellar were arrested. John and Maggie are brother and sister of Daniel. At the preliminary trial at Annapolis, on Aug. 10, John Kellar established an alibi, and the other three were committed to jail. In September an Indictment was returned. During the preliminary examination a mob was organized to lynch them, but the cooler heads prevented the act.' The case was brought here from Parke county on a change of venue. asked for by the defendants. DELAWARE COUNTY FIELD. An OH Company to Pot Down Test Wells at Once.

A Cry to Frighten Democrats. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SHELBYVILLE, Ind., Jan. 27. The saloon war still continues of Interest in the city. The trial of Oscar Williams Is set for to-morrow morning, before 'Squire Kenton. No damage suits for false imprisonment have yet been filed; against Mayor Enos by Phillips or Whltcpmb. whom he sent to Jail for not paying their fines of $40. ,The attorneys of the city without exception are of the opinion that the Mayor exceeded his authority In assessing the fine of more than $23 allowed by statute. Mayor Enos has retained Love & Morrison to represent him In the event of a suit. The latest development In the trouble Is the effort of the saloon men to show that the scheme for the employment-of , "spotters" was a political move by the Republicans to assist them in the spring and fall elections. The Daily Dsmocrat to-night claims that the cry of law and order was raised for political effect, and had its origin In the Republican State committee. The Good Citizens' movement In this city, which Is at present backing the efforts of Marshal Sparks and Mayor Enos in their enforcement of the law, has in It no limit of -politicians. Many; of the men who are openly. -supporting and upholding them are leading Democrats, while in numbers the membership Is about -equally divided between the two parties. Many of the saloon men. on the other hand, are Republic? ns. With but four exceptions, the Prohibitionists and Populists are In the Good Citizens' League and are giving it hearty support. It is given out that all the saloon keepers ar now members of the State Liquor League. Secret Mnrrlajre and Mnrder. OWENSBORO, Ky., Jan. 27. A warrant was issued to-night' for the arrest of Dr. P. T.

Neither is there a Henry Wilson or fa Clara Harris, as far as known, and. last .of all, there has been no suicide except that of the young man Wright, as reported in the Journal Saturday. The story is a "fake" of the worst sort, unless the name of the town has been confused with some other. The Cincinnati press of Frldav contained two "fake" sensations from New Castle, Ind., so it Is very likely there is an Impostor in the city. Frankfort Printers Minstrel Show.

BUCKEYE DELEGATES

PRECAUTIONS AGAIXST A CLASH nETWEEX REPtllLlCAX FACTIOXS. Foraker nnd Ilia Friends to De Given Part of the Delegation to the St. Louis National Convention. CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 27. There has been a mysterious gathering of politicians here to-day. Early this morning Charles L. Kurtz, chairman of the Republican State committee, arrived here and registered at the Weddell House. He was soon followed by Col. A. L. Conger, of Akron. Both are well-known friends of Senator-elect Foraker, and It was at once supposed that they were here for a purpose. Kurtz flitted about most of the day, seeing several leading Republicans. He spent seme time in the office of M. A. Hanna, who is recognized as the closest friend of McKInley. The conference lasted more than an hour. This evening Mr. Kurtz was in conference with Col. Myron T. Herrick, also one of McKinley'3 supporters. When asked the purpose of his visit to Cleveland Mr. Kurtz declined to go into details. He said that he had been attending to some business matters. It was learned from another source that his talk with Mr. Hanna was of a political nature; that. In fact, the make-up of the delegation at largo from Ohio to the St. Louis convention was considered. The choice of delegate in the various districts was also discussed. "It was proposed," said this gentleman, "and practically settled, so far as this preliminary conference can settle it, that M. A. Hanna and James H. Hoyt, of this city, and Senator-elect Foraker and Governor Busnnell will be the delegates at large. There Is no doubt that Ohio will be united for McKInley. and the purpose now is to provide against futnre friction and conflict between the two elements of the Republican party In the State." There seems to be no doubt that the conferences here were held with the full knowledge of both McKInley and Foraker, and that the meetings were arranged with their full consent. If the delegates at large are agreed on as suggested both McKInley and Foraker will have an equal representation, and, the matter being settled in advance, there can be no contest at the State convention. Mr. Hanna was seen this evening. He said that he had received a call from Mr. Kurtz this afternoon, and that they had discussed various matters connected with the candidacy of Governor McKInley. He declared that there was a perfect agreement between them. "I want to say," said he, "that the stories about divisions in the ranks of the Ohio Republicans are the rankest nonsense. The party is united to-day as it was never united before, and McKInley is stronger in the State than he has ever been. The people who are trying to create dissensions are simply making themselves ridiculous." It was stated to-night that General Grosvenor, of Athens, was likely to be selected as one of the delegates at large, with Governor Bushnell. Senator-elect Foraker and Mr. Hanna. It is probable that the State convention will be held late in March or the first week In April. The exact time has not been agreed upon, although all the Republican leaders are said to favor an early convention. The Secretaryship Contest. Although the race for Republican State committee chairmanship was the chief topic of conversation In and about the Denlson last evening, consideration of the candidates for secretary was sandwiched In. There was some speculation concerning what might result should Mr. Gowdy or Mr. Nebeker be chosen for the first position. After it was announced that Mr. Gowdy would be chosen chairman quite a boom was set on foot by the friends of Robert A. Brown, of Franklin, to select him as secretary of the committee. It was urged that Mr. Brown's wide acquaintance, having made a strong canvass for the Clerk of the Supreme Court nomination, and having been clerk of the last House of Representatives, would le of much benefit to tho committee. Mr. Brown said he was not . a candidate for the position, but would accept if the committee determine'! on him for the position. Oliver Tichener, of Princeton, denied reports by declaring that he is not a candidate. A. M. Hadley, of this city, who has quite an acquaintance throughout the State as a Lincoln League organizer, was being urged by his friends for the position, it being claimed that he had not taken an active nart in the behalf of either candi date for the chairmanship. H. L. Smith, also of this city, was represented by friends. 11. M. Seeds, the present secretary, will not be a candidate for re-election. Robert Mansfield, of Muncie, is a strong candidate for the secretaryship. Still Xo Klectlon. FRANKFORT, Ky., Jan. 27.-Althougfr no one expected that a Senator would be elected to-day, the lobbies and galleries of the House were again crowded at noon, when the fifth ballot of the Joint assembly was taken. A number of pairs were made on Saturday to enable persons to go home on account of sickness or important business. The roll call showed 128 members present. The ballot resulted as follows: Blackburn, 55; Hunter, 63; Hazelrigg, 8; Willson, 1; Bate, 1. The joint assembly adjourned immediately after the vote was announced until tc-morrow noon. At a caucus of the Republican members of the Legislature, to-night, the eligibility of four Democratic members whose seats are not contested was thoroughly discussed and decisive action taken. It was found that one Is a city attorney, one a United States examining surgeon, two are auditors' agents, all holding such positions as make them under the law Ineligible for the office of Representative. The caucus agreed upon and adopted a resolution which will be offered to-morrow, for an Investigation as to the eligibility of four Democratic members, and this may settle the senatorial contest. Governor Bradley sent a special message to the Legislature to-day, urging the passage of a law making the county responsible for at least $2.5'JO to the widow or heir of any person who may be lynched la the county. Republican Sugnr Planters. NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 27. The Republican sugar planters met to-night and Indorsed the ticket nominated by the Populists, headed by Captain J. N. Pharr, a sugar planter, and containing several Republicans. Tho. planters put up the first fusion ticket, but the Populists rejected fusion and nominated a separate ticket. Thi3 was pulled down and tho Pharr ticket put up, several Republicans being placed upon It. The ticket was not quite what the planters wanted, but they indorsed it, and the regular Republicans will probably do likewise. Captain Pharr Is a Prohibitionist, and the alienation of the liquor vote has been urged against him and prevented the planters from taking him up a first. Popullnt Meeting? Broken I' p. LITTLE ROOK, Ark., Jan. 27. A Populist meeting at Powhatan. Ark., Saturday night, broke up in a riot In which several persons were seriously injured.

A general row ensued, in which the sheriff and several deputies took a hand. Knives and pistols were freely used and a number of persons were injured, but as the meeting broke up in confusion, it Is impossible to state just what damage was done.

Booth, who was nominated for Governor by the Populist convention at Alexandria and pulled down by the committee of fifty, which says the action of the committee was unwarranted, that he does not Intend to come down, but will stump the State to save the organization at any personal sacrifice.
