MAY BE A SPLIT.
Sound Money Dotnoernts Talk of Hotting
It Silver Men Itulit ttin Convention.
Nkw Yohk, April 30, Jfcw York
Democrats have about mndo up their
minds that there will bo two Demo
cratic parties after the Chicago con
vention. During the great fight for
tho repeal of tho Sherman silver law,
"Silver Dick" Bland was continuously
predicting, in his peculiar, dramatic
way, that tlio Democratic party had
arrived at "tho parting of tho ways."
A great many laughed at Mr. Bland at
the tunc, and some of his own follow
ers evcu wore not inclined to tako him
as being entirely serious. Wow an
alarming condition of affairs has
arisen within the Doinocratio party,
and tlio sound, monoy men begin to
renli?e that Mr. Bland's prediction is
to bo verified.
Leading Democrats iu this state,
like Mr. Whitney, Senator Murphy
nnd ex-Governor Flowcr.nrc now fear
ful that tho"parting of tho ways"that
Mr. Ultind talked about will material
ize during the Chicago convention,
l'rcsldont Cleveland nnd tho sound
money Democrats aro nou only hop
ing against hope that a free silver
platform will not bo adopted in Chi
cago. They aro perfectly well awaro
that tho chances arc in favor of tho
triumph of tlio silver Democrats, and
they nro preparing to act accord
ingly. It is said that as a result of their
plans the Cleveland, or sound 11101103'
men, will, in the event of tho capturo
of tho National convention, bolt,
orgonize another convention, and nom
inate a ticket Tho sound money
pcoplo have figured that cities situ
ated in tho Southern and Western
States would elect sound money dele
gates. While this might provo true,
although tho silver Democrats havo
just won big victories in several largo
cities, like St. Louis, it would not
count for anything In the convention.
In tho Democratic National convention
tho unito rule is well established.
THE LAMBORN HEARING.

which occurred two months ago last
night.

POPULISTS WILL NOT FUSE
Chntriuan Koselle of Missouri Declares
That llland Will Not Ite Adopted.
St. Louis, Mo., April 20. Chairman
A. Ilosclle of the People's party stato
committee, declared to-day that tho
Populists of Missouri would not sup
port ex-Congressman Bland if the lat
ter should bo nominated for tho
Presidency on a silver platform. Ho
did not think that tho adoption, 'in
advance of action taken by tho Popu
list convention, of a silver platform
by the Democrats nt Sedalia the other
day would affect the Populist' vote in
this state. Ho said: "Tho 45,000
Populists of Missouri aro going to
stand firm, no matter what tho Dem
ocracy does at Chicago. We will get
at least 10,000 votes from the Repub
licans in this state, and with tho
accessions from the Democratic ranks
we nro going to mix things mightily
In Missouri this year."

Alger us a Dark Horse.
Washington, April 20. Many stories
aro set afloat in Washington about the
schemes of tho nntl-McKinlcy people
to make breaks in tho McKlnlcy front.
The latest is that encouragement is

will voto for him nt tho proper time.

Toi'KKA, Kan., April 1C. Tho mem
bers of tho A. P. A. of Topcka show
signs of making a fight on McKinloy
because ho refuses to say how ho
stands on tho question of appropriat
ing public money in aid of sectarian
schools, as on other questions in which
tho organization is especially inter
ested. Whether the Kansas delegates
to the Republican National conven
tion, who are members of tho A. P.
A., will violato their Instructions nnd
voto against McKlnlcy, they will nut
say; but they hint at it broadly and
try to convey tho impression that
thoso delegates would violate their
instructions before they would vlclato
tho oath tnit.cn in the lodge room.
They claim that of tho sixteen dele
(rates who havo so far been chosen by
the Kansas Republicans, only two aro
not members of tho order. Who tho
two aro they will not say.
A prominent Republican who is un
willing to get into a controversy with
the A. P. A., antl for that reason will
not permit tho uso of his name, said
this morning: "Tlio fact that somo
of the delegates aro members of the
A. I. A., will not affect thoir support
of McKinloy. They will vote for him
just tlio same in obedience to their in
structions. "So far elected, wo havo as dele

cent sixteen in all, with tho Second
and Sixth districts yet to elect. Now,
I know to a certainty that Anderson,
Swcnson, Schilling. Fitzpatrick. Bone,
Vincent, Higginbotham, Riddle and
Leland aro not members o tho A. P.
A. I am satisfied also that I could
name others, but it ,1s not necessary
to do so. Tho only delcguto that I
know is an A. P. A. is Nut Barnes.
Possibly Marsh Murdock is, too. Ho
is regarded as a sympathizer, but I
doubt that ho is a full-fledged
member."
Major Thomas J. Anderson, ono of
tho delegates nt largo to the national
convention, suid: "I havo henrd noth
ing of a revolt against McKlnlcy in
Kansas, and I do not think there will
be any. This Stato is for McKinloy,
and I am sure I am for him. I made
ray campaign on that issue, and I
have been instructed for him. I pro
pose to stay with him and voto for
him, tho A. P. A. or tho world to the
contrary notwithstanding."

Itoundly Denounced.
Washington, April 10. At tho closo
of the morning's business in tho House
to-day, Rcprcsontativo Hull, chair
man of tho committee on military af
fairs, called up the resolution relating
to tho appointment of a board of man
agers for tho national soldiers' homes,
and Mr. liluc of Kansus secured tho
floor and requested that ho bo allowed
two hours for debate. Mr. Crowthcr
of Missouri insisted that ho demand
three hours, but no agreement was
reached.
Mr. liluo said that 2,000 old soldiers
of Kansas and Missouri, who were in
carcerated in tho semi-prison at
Leaven worth, Kan., demanded just
treatment at tho hands of this Con
gress, and time should bo allowed

the committee report that tho nnmo
of General O. O. Howard bo substi
tuted for that of W. U. Franklin us
one of the members of tho board of
mantigors. He denied thut lie had
any personal interest iu tlio flirht on
Governor Smith, but said that his
only desire was to becuro humano
treatment for tho soldiers who wero
now hemg abused by tho "brutal and
drunken Tyrant Smith." "Ho has
not only been drunk," ho said dram
atically, in reply to a question, "but
he has been vomitingly drunk, nnd he
is unfit to bo in charge of men."
Mr. Ulue read letters from promi
nent citizens of Leavenworth who tes
tified that they had seen Smith in a
state of intoxication repeatedly. Ho
naid that Smith was proprietor of tho
biggest saloon in Kansas, and that
the man who tan it was president of
the Keeloy Lengue, with tlio saloon
nnd tho league meeting plnco occupy
ing adjoining rooms.
M"r. Itluo read tho testimony of a
man named Williams, who said that
Smith, as president of tho National
Keeloy league, got a salary of 81,200
a year, nnu mat lveeiev got &u lor
every man In t.10 homo to-whom the
treatment was given, while tho man
agement of tiie home got 820 from tho
Cationt, wltii S7.S0 moro for dues,
adges, etc. The witness said that he
had been compelled to take the treat
ment three times, paying for the same
out of his meager pension.

All the City Ofllctnt of Juqncln, Mexico,

City op Mexico, April 15. A tole
gram from Oaxnca City, states that
the rebol Indians nt the town of

effecting an entrance Thoy sacked
the pluce, penetrnted into tlio private
apartments of tho prefect, grossly
maltreated the women of his family,
and then, turning attention to tho
ollicinls and armed servants, killed and
wounded several.
The sceno was a horrlblo ono, as tho
assault took plnco In the early even
ing, nnd tho excitement of tho mob
was indescribable. Tho mob of
drunken Indians, after sacking tho
town hull, went to tlio federal stamp
ofllco and assaulted it, burning down
tlio outside door with petroleum,
which also communicated tiro to tho
entire house, placing Collector Gra
ciudn, who was on tho roof with his
clerks, in n most perilous situation,
but thoy managed to escape-by tho

Bcarf of yellow laco encircles tho crown
and stands aloft at ono sldo In stiff,
