Davis Withdraws.

Minneapolis, Minn., March 25.—The republican state convention was called to order nt 12 o’clock noon Tuesday. Fx-Gov. A. E. Rice was elected tem-

porary’ chairman.

A telegram was read by Congressman Tawney from Senator Cushman K. Davis withdrawing his name as u presi-

dential candidate.

Senator Davis' action was due to the refusal of three of five Minnesota district conventions, held on Monday, to indorse ids candidacy. In his message to Mr. Tawney the senator said he felt bound, as he always had, to most loyally re.s|)ect tlie wishes of the people of Minnesota, and for that reason he requested That his name be not considered in the deliberations of the state convention. A resolution to instruct for McKinley

was carried unanimously.

A resolution was also adopted affirming tlie love and respect felt for Senator Davis by Minnesota republicans and eulogistic of his public services, ami declaring that only the fact that it is the general sentiment of the republicans of the country at large that Mr. McKinley should be the nominee of the party prevents tlie presentation of his 4l)a\ is'J name as Minnesota’s candidate. Resolutions were also adopted in which the party in Minnesota renewed its fidelity to tlie principles of the republican party; declared its belief in the jiolicy ot the United States as declared by James Monroe; demanded tlie restoration of tlie principle of reciprocityasn national policy,and favored the use of both gold and silver to the extent of which they can lie maintained at a parity on tlie purchasing and debt paying power and opposing the free unJ

WORK OF A FIEND. Ohioan and V'lfo .Mur<!*3r€*cl Near Akron—Three Other* Fatally Injured. Cleveland, O., March 30.—At one o'clock Sunday morning the most fiendisii deed that has ever claimed entrance to the criminal history of Ohio was perpetrated near Tallmadge, a village five miles north of Akron. Alvin Stone, aged (19, and ids wife, aged (i2, while asleep at their home wire brutally murdered by a fiend, who literally 1 eat. their heads to pieces, after which numerous knife thrusts were made into the bodies of the dead. Two daughters, Hattie, aged 29; Emma, aged 27, and the family man servant, A. F. Stillsou, were also attacked. All three of these are fatally injured and lie unconscious and bleeding at the home, awaiting death. They had been beaten about the head with a blunt instrument, which of itself must have been large and of great weight. Alvin Stone was among the most wealthy and prominent of Summit county farmers, and Ids wife was also a member of one of the wealthiest and most prominent families in northeastern Ohio. The object of the murderous assault on the family w as not robl>ery, us numerous articles of value, including the two gold watches of tlie aged couple, which were on the bedroom dresser, were easily obtainable. One member of the family alone escaped injury—Flora, the youngest daughter, aged 10. She is laboring under intense excitement, but was able, between tears and hysterical sobs, to tell what she knew of the affair. The old folks, she said, occupied a chamber on the lower floor. Hattie and Flora slept upstairs. Emma across the hall and tlie hired man at the rear end of the hallway on the same floor. At about one o’clock Sunday morning. Flora says, she heard an agonizing scream from Emma. She jumped from bed and, opening tlie door, started across the hall. Hattie followed her. Flora turning before she entered Emma's room, the door of which was open, saw a masked man strike Hattie over the head with what looked like a crowbar. Hattie with a groan fell senseless to the floor, while Flora in terror ran back to her room and hid under the bedclothes, Hattie, who is a woman of remarkable vitality, despite her frightful injury, arose, and going into Flora's room urged her to throw something over her head. Flora was too frightened to move. Hattie left her room and entering that of tier sister, noticed the window was open and that a ladder reached up to it from tlie ground. She wrapped a quilt around her and went down the ladder, running to Charles Sackett's farm, a quarter of a mile away, where she told her story and collapsed. Two of tlie Saeketts hurried to the Stone house, while another summoned a physician. When they arrived the house was pitch dark. The side door was open. Entering the room occupied by tlie old folks, they were confronted by the two horribly-mutilated bodies of the father and mother. Emm:! was found unconscious on the floor of her bedroom. She had been struck a fearful blow over the forehead, and still lies as one dead. The hired man was found in his room in the same condition. He had also been struck over the forehead. Flora was found under tlie bedclothes in speechless fright. In a few minutes the whole neigliborhood for miles around was aroused, and hundreds assembled about the Stone homestead. The scene was terribly impressive. The rage of those who for so many years had lived with and loved the amiable, honest Stone family knew no bounds. The Akron police department was notified, and Detective Dunn. Marshal Mason, Sheriff Griffin and First Deputy Hart hurried to the scene. They arrived at nine o'clock. They found what appeared to be tracks of a man leaving the side door, which was open, and ending nt the road. The rain which had steadily poured all night had, however, oblitt rated tlie tracks along the road. Bloodhounds were put into service, but they could do nothing owing to the rain. FAVOR CUBA.

VICTORY FOR CUBAN REBELS. Reported That I'inar del Klo, Spanish Stronghold, Has rallen. New Y'ork, March 30.—A special to the Journal from Havana says: i’inar del Rio has fallen. The stronghold of the Spanish army in the western part of the island was taken by the insurgents Saturday. There was a desperate fight, and many men on both sides tire killed and wounded. Only the meager news of the battle has been received in Havana, and the details cannot at this moment be obtained. IVhat news lias been received was sent to the captain general ity the offl:er in charge of tlia garrison at I’inar del Rio, after his troops had been utterly routed and while the insurgents were applying the torch to the city. At the palace absolutely nothing lias been given out, and the most that can be obtained there is confirmation of the story that there was a fight. Tlie Spanish officials will not state the result of the battle nor have they furnished the local papers with an official note of it. This, in itself, is sufficient to confirm the report of Spanish defeat, for tlie authorities never lose any time in giving out the complete details of victories for their side. The Cuban sympathizers have received information front the scene of battle. The report made to them states that Gens. Antonio Maceo and Calixo Garcia were in command of tlie rebel forces. The hot fighting was done by the American artillerymen who came to Cuba cn the Bermuda filibustering expedition for the express purpose of working the Hotchkiss and Gatling guns brought on the steamer. Without the assistance of the Americans I’inar del Rio would not have fallen. It was only their deadly fire sent into the town by the Gatling and Hotchkiss guns that saved the day for the insurgents. I’inar del Rio is situated about twotl.irds of the distance across the island at the north und in the extreme western province. It was a city of some 20,000 inhabitants, and the Spanish relied upon it to afford them a base foroperations in I’inar del Rio during the rainy season. The Spanish garrison consisted of 4,000 men, and the attacking force had fully 5,000 men, besides the sharpshooters and other skilled men of war who came on the Bermuda. Following his usual policy, Maceo did not hold the town. He simply destroyed it and then passed on to some other place. Exactly where lie is at present is not known. NOT MUCH CHANGE. Situation in liusin* 1 ** Circles About a* Fast Week. New York. March 28.^—R. G. Dun & Co., in their weekly review cf trade, say: “No important chantie has occurred In the general condition of business during ttie week, and if trade In some respects looks worse in other respects it seems better. Some failures of magnitude have occurred which have caused much apprehension and unwillingness to lend among bankers, and there have been somewhat less favorable features In the dry goods market; hut In iron and steel conditions are slightly improved, and In boots and shoes considerably more hopeful. Foreign trade Is a little more satisfactory, exports from New York for three weeks showing an Increase over last year of six per cent., while Imports have shown nearly the same rate of decrease. In general the course of domestic prices tends to favor the marketing of staples abroad. "Wheat has gained about a point, but corn and cotton remain unchanged. Cotton had a lively rise with the covering of short sellers, but began to decline a week ago and has been lagging ever since. The receipts from plantations continue quite as large as In the same weeks of the last shortcrop year; and stocks In sight, with the quantities known to be held by European and American mills, make up an ample supply for the rest of the crop year in the dry goods market the last Indications do not warrant expectations that the mills will continue full production throughout the season. The demand for women's dress goods Is the best feature of the woolen markets. A striking feature this week has been u sale of 350,000 pounds of American wool for shipment to England. The Iron and steel markets have disclosed a similar feature, for a little Alabama pig has been sold for export, though few Imagine that much business of that sort Is possible. The slow marketing of finished products is still the main trouble. There has been a little more activity this week, and the Carnegie works have sold 10,000 steel rails to Japan, thus scoring a noteworthy success, but In the main the market Is about as Inactive and Insufficient as It lias been. "The returns of failures arc somewhat disappointing. Several of magnitude were mentioned a week ago. and they have swelled the aggregate of defaulted liabilities for three weeks of March to $12,383,614, against $11,271,121 last year. A heavy failure In Texas will also swell the aggregate of returns for the past week, which includes 259 In the United States, against 231 last year, and 39 In Canada, against 42 last year." TROUBLE IN MATABELELAND. Many White Settlers Killed by the Natives Who Are in Revolt. Cape Town, March 28.—Dispatches received from Buluwayo.Matalieleland.indicate that the uprising in that part of the colony is very serious. Telegrams from the front Thursday merely outlined a revolt of a few natives in the Insezaanri Filabusi districts, the massacre of some white settlers, including Commissary Bentley, and the dispatch of a small force of volunteers to the scene of the disturbance. The dispatches show that tlie disturbance is widespread and becoming hourly more alarming. An extensive uprising of the natives, it is understood, has taken place, and tlie revolt may spread to other parts of South Africa. The settlers in Matabelcland are flocking into tlie towns, which ur-y being placed in a condition for defense. The natives are raiding farms and killing white settlers in the Mnta)>o hills district, and rumor lias it that over 50 persons have been slain. CRUSHED TO DEATH.
