THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT. March 19, 1896. 1 CARLISLE II CANDIDATE. HIS NAME TO BE PRESENTED TO THE CHICAGO CONVENTION. SOUND MONEY PLATFORM. He Will Have the Support of tbe Admin titration Force, From President Cleveland Down Cleveland Will bine s Declaration Refusing a Third Term Carlisle Answers Crisp. Washington, March J.6. Secretary Carlisle is a candidate for the Presi dential nomination at Chicago, and public announcement to that effect will soon be made by one of the Secre tary's close friends in the Senate. This announcement, however, will not be made until President Cleveland has formally stated his purpose not to per mit his name to be used in the conven tion in connection with a third term. It is learned on excellent authority that the President has fully decided upon this course, and it is expected that he will make known his deter mination within a short time. Although Secretary Olney's name has been considered with favor among the Democratic leaders, it is known that he does not desire the nomina tion. It is undoubtedly true that Mr. Carlisle's candidacy will have the sup port of Mr. Cleveland and the mem bers of the cabinet. lie will go before the convention as the representative of the sound money views of the ad . ministration. His faiends, in conduct ing the canvass for Mr. Carlisle's nom ination, will urge that it be laid upon a sound money platform, and, if he be successful at Chicago, will then make this issue prominent in the campaign leading up to the November election. Kepresentative Patterson of Tennes see has received from Secretary Car lisle the following letter in response to ex-Speaker Crisp's declaration that silver had received unfriendly treat ment at the secretary's hands: "In answer to vour Question I can only say that in all the operations of ine treasury aeparwueDi aunu my administration of its a,ffairs the legal tenuer gold and silver coins of the United fetates have been treated pre cisely alike, except that greater ef forts have been made to keep silver coin in circulation than have been made to keep gold coin in circulation. The amount paid out by the depart ment in silver coins and silver certifi cates, greatly exceeds the amount paid out in gold coins and gold certificates, and in no instance has the least dis crimination been made against silver or its paper representative. 1 "It has always been the policy of Hhe Treasury department to encourage the use of silver to the largest possi ble extent, and in order to accomplish this, standard silver dollars will be sent by express at the cost of the gov ernment to an j'one who will deposit an equal amount in silver certificates ' or in treasury notes of 1630 with the United States treasurer or any assist ant treasurer or with a national bank depository, and subsidiary silver coins will be sent by express at the expense of the government to anyone wno win deposit with such officers or ' banks any kind of United States currency or national bank notes; but srold is not sent to anybody free of charge.

ITALY VILL FIGHT IT OUT PREMIER RODINI DECLARES THAT THE WAR WILL BE CONTINUED, A BIG CREDIT IS VOTED. The Reception of the Premier's Statement Was Favorable The Strongest Advo cates of Peace Policy Joined In the Enthusiasm of the Depu ties When He Paid a Tribute to Italians. - Rome, March 13. The entry of the sew ministers into the Chamber of Deputies this afternoon was greeted with loud applause by their sup porters. The premier, Marquis Di Rudini, said that after the defeat at Adowa, the cabinet had adopted resolutions leaving General Baldissera free to take proper measures to meet the sit uation, including abandoning Adigrai and Kassala if such measures should be deemed, expedient March 8 the general was instructed to treat for peace on the best terms obtainable and the present cabinet would con tinue the negotiations with prudence and dignity. This statement was received with applause from those in favor of a peace policy and with cries of disgust and derision favoring the previous colonial policy and a strong effort to retrieve the Adowa disaster. The premier waited, smiling until the uproar had subsided, and then re marked significantly: "But the gov ernment is now convinced that in lieu of a treaty of peace hurriedly made, it would be far preferable to first estab lish a condition of things agreeing with Italy's interests. In the mean while, hostilities must continue." The announcement that the African campaign would be pushed, was greet ed with loud and continued cheering from the so-called military party and with cries of dissent from the peace party. Once more the premier waited until he could be able to make himself heard, and then he said that Italy would never pursue a policy of expan sion. She did not wish to conquer the Tigre district and did not desire to in clude an Italian protectorate of Abys sinia as one of the conditions of peace. But the ' dignity and honor of the country must be upheld. He then asked the chamber for a credit of l.o million lire for the expenses of the army in Africa and to send additional troops there should such a step be ne cessary. The reception of the premier's state ment was, on the whole, favorable. Even the strongest advocates of a pol icy of peace joined in the enthusiasm when the premier paid a glowing trib ute to the heroism displayed by the Italian army, the deputies rising and cheering wildly for Italy, the Italian army and the premier. Later the 140 million lire asked for by the marquis, was voted unani mously, and this called forth another prolonged scene of enthusiasm. When the public outside of the Chamber of Deputies heard that the war was to be pushed and that the credit asked for by the government had been voted unanimously, they joined in the cheering for the premier and for Italy and the soldiers. ENGLAND'S SCHEME The Coming Dongola Campaign Prob ably One of Conquest. London, March 18. It is generally believed here that the proposed Brit ish advance on the Soudan may be fraught with most far reaching and possibly disastrous consequences. Arthur Balfour's admission, that Don gola would probably not be the desti nation but only the halting place of the Antrlo-Egyptian forces and his allusions to the desirability of bring ing the blessing of British rule to the Soudan were interpreted as indicating that the British government is bent upon a war, not of defense but of con quest of that whole section. The Free Seed Issue. Washington, March 18.

The reference of the matter to Comptroller Bowler is to prevent any holding up of the expenditure ac counts. Oklahoma's Mew Territory. Guthrie, Okla., March 18.

Governor Renfrow will to-day appoint county officers and issue a proclama tion putting the Oklahoma laws in force. Indians Murdered by Whites. Billings, Mont., March 18.

London, March Is. The examina tion of Dr. L. S. Jameson, the raider of the Transvaal, and his fourteen companions.charged under the foreign enlistment act with "warring on a friendly state," was resumed to-day at the Bow Street police court Trooper Hill, of the Matabeleland mounted police, testified to hearing Dr. Jameson making a speech at Pit sana to the men who were to compose the expeditionary column, telling them that they were going to Johan nesburg to protect the English women and children whose lives were in dan ger. Jameson said he hoped there would be no fighting, but if there was "why we'll fight." Jameson added that he hoped the column would reach Johannesburg before the Boers should have time to collect Jameson as sured the troopers that "if it comes to a push, the Cape mounted rifles and the Natal police will assist us." Jameson also said that food and remounts would be collected on the way to Jo hannesburg.and added that the column might be joined by the Bechuanaland border police. Replying to a question, the witness said that Dr. Jameson, while address ing the troopers, referred frequently to a letter which he had in his hand and which appeared to contain in structions as to the conduct of the ex pedition. Sir John Willowby, the military commander of the expedition, also made a speech to the men on the same lines as Dr. Jameson, and ex pressed the hope that the troopers would do their best Spain Quieting Down. New Yobk, March 18. A dispatch to the Herald from Madrid says: "All the Spanish papers are unanimously recognizing the reaction against jingo ism which has taken place in the United States Senate. It is felt that all danger of hostilities is over unless some unforseen event occurs. The recent war scare has given strik ing impetus to the war and marine de partments. It is generally recognized that the recent disturbances were to a large extent fanned ' by the discon tented republican element The feel ing in Barcelona was stronger simply because the Catalans are republicans and therefore opposed to the regular government." Editor Astor Apologizes. London, March 13, The Evening News announces that the suit for $25, 000 damages for. libel brought by Lady Henry Somerset against William Waldorf Astor, proprietor of the Pall Mall Gazette, has been settled out of court It is added that Astor will apologize to Lady Henry Somerset and that the Pall Mall Gazette and twenty other papers will pay the costs.
