WILL NOT CONTEST. Carlisle Declares He Will Not Be a Candidate. He Write* * Letter to the Kentucky Democratic Committee Announcing Hl* Position—Deeply Interested in Party Success. Washington, April 6. —Secretary Carlisle Sunday evening gave out the following letter to Chairman Long, of the democratic state committee of Kentucky, declining to enter the contest for the democratic nomination for the presidency: "Treasury Department. Office of the Secretary, Washington, D. C , April 4, ISC— Charles Ixmg, Esq . Chairman Democratic State CentrafCommittee, Louisville. Ky — My Dear Sir: Your favor of March SO. fn which you say in substance that many of my friends in Kentucky 'and elsewhere desire me to become a candidate before the approaching national democratic convention for nomination for the office of president, and requesting me to give some authoritative or definite expression upon the subject, was duly received and has been maturely considered. "Many communications upon the same subject and of similar Import have been received from friends in different'parts of the country, and while very grateful fir these numerous expressions of confidence and esteem upon the part of my democratic fellow-citizens. I have not been able to reach the conclusion that the existing'conditions require me to comply with their requests by authorising them to announce me as a candidate for the presidential nomination. "While I feel a profound interest in the welfare of my party, .1 am much more concerned about its declaration of principles than in its selection of candidates, becaqpe. in my opinion, its failure or success at the election as well as its capacity for useful service to the country In t!>c future depends upon the position It takes or omits to take upon the public questions now engaging the attention of the peop’c. and especially the questions affecting the monetary system of the country and the character and amount of taxation to be Imposed upon our citizens. "Its position upon these and other subjects having been agreed upon, and clearly and distinctly announced, thn convention ought to have no difficulty in selecting an acceptable-candidate who will fairly represent Its views; and, in order that its deliberations may be embarrassed as little as possible by the contentions of rival aspirants and their friends. I think my duty to the will be best performed by declining to participate in a contest for the nomination. "The obligations. assumed when I accepted my present official position require me to deVote my entire time and attention to the public interests committed to my charge, and J shall Have to continue my discharge of duty as Impose-! upon me to the best of my ability, and in such manner as will In my judgment most certainly promote the true interests of the country; arid. If in the opinion of my fellowdemocrats in Kentucky my services entitle me. to their commendation and approval I would regard their indorsement ol my public course as an ample reward for the little I have been able to accomplish in behalf of honest administration and a sound financial policy. • "With many thanks for your kind letter, I am, very truly yours, “J. G. Cari-isuk.” Louisville, Ky., April 6.—The Journal- publishes , the following editorial on the letter of Secretary Carlisle niade public Sunday night: "The position which Mr Carlisle takes is one entirely in accord with the dignities of the office of president and the duties of the office of secretary of th* treasury. He declines 40 participate fn a Contest for a nomination, holdingjhat the matter of first moment is the declaration of the party's principles. He desires tile indorsement of his services by his state, and. though he does not say so in so meny words, if htost*te shall present his name to the national convention on a satisfactory jjatferm he will undoubtedly accept tbit responsibility. "This is a matter of exception il moment at once to the democratic partv and to tbe entire people of the United States. To the democratic party it brings squa rely home the issue whether it is tocontinue tohe the party of Jefferson, Jackson, Benton and Cleveland, or whether it is to set jup stre hge gods and lend the priceless prehtige of its name and history to an alien filth. “To the people of the United States It is of vital concern, for upon the decision, within the democratic party, o' the issue thus forced upon it depends the one possibility that this country shall a presidential candidate backed by the organized resources of either of the two glreat political parties—a man with a unlvehsally-con-eeded clear comprehension of the nature and necessities of a so un< i monetary system as indispensable to the protection of national integrity and material prosperity and with a record not of profespion but of performance, in itself at thisj time the only unimpeachable proof of practical, unswerving and unassailable fidelity to the principles of such a system. "Kentucky is ready. It nee<fs no campaign to bring Kentucky to Carlisle. Let the convention be called—the sooner the better—and the state which took the lead for an honest tariff will take thread for an honest currency. j .

APPEAL FOR ARBITRATION. Three Famous Catholic Cardinals Present a Han to Prevent War. j Baltimore, Md., April 6.—Cardinal Gibbons on Sunday gave out an appeal for a permanent arbitration board, with full powers, to prevent war among the n itions, signed by himself, Michael Cardinal Logue, Archbishop of Armagh, and Herbert Cardinal Vaughan, Archbishop of Westminster. The document is the result of a correspondence ] on (he subject between Cardinal Gib- , bons and his colleagues, and is issued i Oh Easter Sunday becauscdPf the appro- ( priateness of the day. A synopsis of ] the document follows: i The cardinals, in the name of the Prlr.re of Peace and of the Catholic church, invite all to cooperate in the formation of a public opinion which shall demand the estoh- j lishment of a permawnt tribunal of arbitration as a rational substitute amo’ig ■; the English-speaking races for a resort to ( the bloody arbitrament of war. They recall that such a court existed for centuries when the nations of Christendom were united in one.faith, and suggest a tribunal composed of trusted representatives cf each sovereign nation, with power to nominate Judges and umpires, according to the nature of the differences that arise. Such , an international court of arbitration, they say. would form a second line of defense, to be called into requisition only after the ordinary resources of diplomacy had been exhausted. It would’at least postpone the outbreak of hostilities until reason and common sense had formally pronounced their last word. They appeal for a united effort to press this matter upon their respective governments. ' - • ’ NATIONAL REFORM PARTY. Call Issued for a Convention at Pltto- ’ « burjfh. May 25.

FIFTEEN VICTIMS. Kentucky Cloudburst More Disastrous Than First Supposed. Original Number of Reported Dead Now yuadrupled—Devattatlng Torrents Sweep Away Homes of Farmers. Booneville, Ky., April 4. —The cloudburst on Little Sexton and Buffalo creeks did more damage than at first reported. Instead of four there were certainly 15 persons who lost their lives, and possibly more. Sexton creek rises near Burning Springs and is one of the feeders of the south fork of the Kentucky river. It flows in some places through deep gorges in the rocks. Through these gorges the stream rushes, when in flood tide, with the speed of a race horse, and, striking the bottom lands below, spreads out'with wonderful rapidity. Five Drowned. People little thought that the little brook would rise so rapidly or was capable of gathering such a volume of water. The cloudburst occurred up in the gorges. The water gathered in a moment and the wild flood poured down in a solid wall, carrying death ' and destruction in its path. On Sex- I ton creek&nd its tributaries five were drowned. They are: Capt. J. S. J. | Bull, Mrs. Wade Marders and child. : two unknown. Capt.. Bull was military instructor at Jackson institute. Ten More Victims. Buffalo creek is even more crooked and tortuous than Little Sexton, and in its torrent after the burst ten people are believed to have lost their lives. A great many logs were hurled down with the tide, and these speedily knocked the cabins and outbuildings to pieces. The dead on Buffalo creek are: Mrs. George Gepson and three children, 'Will Burns’ two children, Miss Mary Garrett, two unknown and Mrs. John Crane.
