"ileetions and Politics. [Copyright, 1892, New York Assoolated Preos.1 Lo.rnoi, Aprilg .-Lord Salisbury scored in the diplomatic contest with France and Busalaover the irman of investiture of the khedive of Egypt, When the sultan's en voy, Eyoub Pasha, arrived at Citro, the Britih mhinister, Set Evelyn Baring, sas pecting something of duplicity, asked for a sopy of the document, and When Eyoub Pasha refused to communiante the contents of the firman until after the investiture, Minister Baring advised the khedive not to proceed with the ceremony. Eyoub Pasha then disclosed the substence of the firman, the nature of which had been known and approved by France and Russia before the missive left Constantinople. The Italian squadron, which was about to leave Alexan dria, got orders to stay, and officers on leave were recalled to the shipa. Yesterday the British and Italian ambassadors at Constantinople sent a joint note to the grand vizier saying the Irman most be altered or Eyoub Pasha recalled. There seems to have been no mistaking the em phatio and peremptory character of the note, and there was an immediate result. A telegram was received by the khedive from the sultan to-day saying the firman would be modified, omitting the definition of the frontier. To-night's Cairo dispatches state that the settlement excited the great est satisfaction there. The foreign office is reticent, except to confirm the statement that the 'difficulty is on the point of solu tion, although the day for the investiture is not fixed. A meeting in Belfast of the Ulster de fense committee to arrange for a conven tion went a degree beyond the recent Uls ter commoners' gathering. In violence of tirades and resolutions it recorded Ulster's determination to have nothing to do with the Dublin parliament, which is certain to be controlled by men who are responsible for the crimes of the league and cruelties and boycotting, and who are mere tools of clerical domination. The attempt to set up such a parliament will inevitably re sult in disorder, violence and bloodshed to an extent unknown in Ireland for a cen tury. Mayor San.derson denied that the British parliament had any J.right to. hdnd them over to e other legislature, which they would never obey, and this sentiment was received with oheering. T. W. Russell predicted a 'tnfold in crease of trouble in Ireland under a' Dub lin parliament. Finally an exeeutive eom mittee was appointed. The publio senseof danger and the importance of the agitation is growing. Over 100 non-conformist Irish ministers agreed to stamp Great Britain to t arouse religious animus. Irish unionists in v the house of commons say that though the v policy of resistance to the Dublin parlia ment be limited to refusal to pay taxes, active, armed opposition from Orangemen is inevitable. The home rulers in the house consider it the best policy to min imize the importance of the movement by, C so far as possible, ignoring it until it be comes more fully developed, when vigorous t measures may be taken to counteract it. Labor candidates who refuse obedience to the liberal electoral executive everywhere n are disappearing. The executive approved twenty labor candidates, most of whom are certain of election. The payment of labor h men elected will be secured partly by gen eral, and partly by local, funds. The beg garliness of public trades unions contribu tions paralyzes independent labor men.

PAits, April 8.-At the examination to day Ravachol played a joke on the otewd in the court room which had a startling effect. During the proceedings he suddenly pro duced an article of cylinder shape, which had the appearance of a dynamite cart ridge. He explained to the crowd that it was an infernal machine, and as he was tired of life he intended to blow himself and all others in the building to pieces. At the eame time he made a motion as if to hurl the object in the midst of the crowd. There ras a stampede by alarme4 specta ters, and the judge and.clerk of the court fled from the room in terror, and sought places of safety. They refused to return until assured that there was no danger. The article which looked like a cartridge proved to be a banana. Conversation With a Severed Iead. PAits, April 8.-Lieut. Anastay, who murdered aged Baronness Dellard, Decem ber last, will be executed at five o'clock to morrow morning. The chief executioner has received a number of threatening letter as from anarchists. Anastay has requested his brother, a medical student, to experi ment on his head as soon as it is decapita ted. He promised to reply by a movement of his eyes to certain questions his brother will ask regarding the sensations experi enced when the knife out the head from the body. The object of this conversation is to afford a test as to whether any vestige of life remains in the human head immedi ately after it has been severed. The World's Fair Election.

A $ MALl CONCESsiON:, alsd by .thea: uT ruit to )eales I in t h'-hl4 Prorduei. Pnrxtzarnt~n , April 8.-From inferts tion reselved by a Phlladeiphia firm wh.e handlels aP dI trlbutes a large quantr of re.dne sugair,.: it appears that th~pf trast is beginning to fear the results .f the determined wfrLare which has been in aulurated against it by wholesale gdoqers all over the counItry, especially those oi Phaladelph a and New York, The grocers are said to be obly interested in the pro posed new refineries here and on States Island. The big corporation hae so far condaescended to notise the movement as to ofer the Importing groceri of Philadeldhis a table of rebates by whish they wil 'be able, if aeeopted, to get a small profit on the, sugar they handle. A meetting with closed doorswas held by a number 'of im, porting grorers yesterday for the purpose of coneldering the advisability of accept ing or rejeoting the proposition. So far as san be ascertained no defiite conclusion was reached. The Philadelphia dealers are getting letters from all over the country to keep up the light, and saying that the deal-' ere in Chicago, Cincinnati, New Orleans, St. Paul, Denver and all other eomiaercial and manufacturing cities will stand by them. T'he.aorning papers say that from the most acunrate data obtainable it is learned that since the first intimations were made that a bill looking to the repeal of the tariff on refined sugar would be taken be fore congress, the stock of the. American Sugar Refinery company has experienced a shrinkege of nearly $9,000,000. The not profit now on $120,000,000, which lithe min imum annual production of the trust, is $25,593,000. With the tariff of refined sugar the net profit on the same amount would be $10,287,500. The actual value of the sugar trust properties is about $35,000,000, which allows a rats of profit on actual val uation of 73.08 per cent. HIS LIVER IS TORPID. Other Pertlons of Blalne's Anatomy Active and Normal. PrTrasuno, Pa., April 8.-The Times this' morning prints the following from Wash ington: In the course of a conversation with the writer and one of the leadipig physicians of the country, who ocoasionally attend Seeretary Blaine, the physician re marked, ,'I see some newspapers continue to connect your name with the presidency, Mr. Secretary?" Mr. Blaine responded: "The presidency is an office without sleep. I am now 60 years old, and although you have told me, and I believe it, that in heart, lungs, kidneys and otherwise I am free from organic diseases, sufering only from torpidity of the liver, I do not believe if I could be inaugurated president to-mor row 1 would live out my term. If I were assured, therefore, of a nomination and election to the presidency, I could not accept it. At my age, and with my temperament, and knowing what the effect a long life of exhausting labor has been upon my vitality, it would be con structive suicide." The secretary spoke with emphasis of perfect candor, and yith apparent desire only to make himself defnitely understood. SEEKING NEW LAN DS. Rush of Boomers to the Slsseton ant Cheyesne Reservatlons.

Representative tz (Ohio) testified that he employed Hasey to look after his pension claims be n *oea he understood him to be very efll. Scient in that work. He did not know,Her t say misused his name. Hersey then testi fied:that he also worked for Durborrow r (11.) and Perkins (Iowa) in the last oon d ress. He also worked ,for Martin and Strable (Iowa). Witness had no under standing with the congressmen exoept to render them good service, and, none of them knew he was reoeiving pay from at torreys. He knee that other senators' and meimbers' clerks called up cases, sign gfag their employers' nasme, and believed they rsceived pay for the:iniormation fur nished. Hersey said he so the informa tion he gqt as Cooper's see tary, and also Inused slips of Breokskire;' nd also (he thought) of Perkins (Iowa). Senator Plumb's secretary, D. P.

WASHINGTOTN, April 8.-The senate to-day made public the correspondence trans mitted by the president touching the declin ation of the Chinesa government to receive I Hen. H. M. Blair as United States minia ter. The correspondence begins with a cablegram from the government to the Chinete minister, saying Blair had bitterly abused China while in the senate and was conspicuous in the passage of the exclusion act. Therefore China deemed it inexpe- I dient to receive him and requested to have a persona grata appointed instead. June 15, in an interview with the Chinese min ister, Wharton suggested that perhaps his 1 government acted without full knowledge and requested a reopening of the case for consideration. June 22, Blair, in a letter to Wharto., denies abusing China or the Chinese, and asserts that he was always their friend. June 22, Blair tenders his resignation. June 23, the Chinese minister replied to Wharton's suggestion, saying the viceroy directs him to state that Blair is not popularly regarded in China. The minister recited portions of Blair's con gressional record and shows the real ob jection to be resentment at the passage of the Scott act while the treaty was being a considered, the act having a very bad effect in China.a The minister said if the president or see retary of state would repeal the law and put again in force the treaties, the situa tion in China would be changed, and Blair would be well received if the president asked it. July 9 Blair withdrew his resig- x nation. July 15 Blair writes Wharton that it appears that he is non grata to the Chi nese government, and that he (Blair) will be well received whepever the United States shall have purged itself of offense. The y correspondence closes with a letter from Ii Wharton to Denby, in which he says Blair C has been injuriously misrepresented, Whar ton admits that the incident is closed so far as Blair is concerned by his resignation, which the president actopted. C An Absolute Free Trader. WAamrrNoTro, April 8.-In comomittee of the whole to-day the house discussed the free cotton bagging bill. Simpson (Kan.) announced himself as an absolute freet trader. He was not willing to compromise T wrong. He wished to see-from a selfh 1 standpoint--the southern farmer released from eveory tax. The less the southern far mer is robbed, the more he would have left to buy Kanasnhorn; so he favored the bill. It took a step towards putting evoerything else on the free list. It was said pIrotection is necessary to protect labor. Had not ath ebody deprived labor of its natural liftY Is labor king? The labor sovereign has been pushed f om the throne and capi tl, a bustard motnr-oh, reigned instead.

The on hounse did this in the interest of Ca!ifornia,, a and in defense of the people of Oalifornia be hat been compelled to vote for the bill. ' The UVual Farce. WAsuINoTON, April 8.--The evening soe sioaq of the house, lasting from eight to 10:80, consisted of the usual Friday night farce. A little tragedy was interjected by Jutler (Iowa), who stated that members who had made long speeches durlug the evouing were not in favor of pension legis lation. Smith (Ill.), who spoke nearly an hour, said if the gentleman referred to him, the statement was untrue. Butler re plied that he did refer to him. Smith le aerred to the record as substanatlting his position, and Butler retorted that the roe ord was a record of wind, instead of vot ing. Pickier (S. D.) appealed to the house to cease this boyishplay; it was not worthy tihe representatlYes of the American peo ple; the gentleman from Texas (Kilgore), said, wasted more of the. peple'e money in obetruatlnR the businessl of the house than would Noty *Ysry pension bill on the eealsa dar.

THE DEAD RUSTLER. Seven Rifle Shots and One From a Revel ver in His Body. BILLINoS, April 8.-[Speeial.]-The body of the mudered man found yesterday was identified today as W. F. Fadden, of Fargo. He had seven rifle bullet wounds in his body, all fired from the left side and apoar eatly at once; also a revolver bullet through' the head. He left here March 0 with a partner, who has not been found, but may possibly be under the snow drift. The body had evidently been thrown over a bluff and lodged on a shelf of rook where it had been covered with snow until lately. Two dead horme, bridled, lay about fifty yards from the corpse and two saddles were found 100 yards further on, thrown into aconle. The inquest developed no clue to the ,perpetra tors so far, but adjourned to tomorrow. A bold attempt to break jail was made by J. B. Armour, alias McCoy, suspected of horse stealing. The jailor uenally lets the prisoners have an hour for exercise in the corridor after breakfast before looking them in the steel cages. This morning while the jailor was attending to his horses and the prisoners were exercising, Mrs. Ramsey, wife of the sheriff, happened to observe a hole in the ground about two feet from the earth wall of.the jail and immedi ately after a hand appeared from below. She called her daughter, Mrs. Goulding, who procured a revolver and 'stood guard over the tunnel while her mother gave the alarm. The jailor and several other men appeared and the escape was frustrated. TWO ARMIES AFTER THEM. A Battle Expected not Later Than Satur day, CASGPE, WSyo., April 8.-A. courier from the seat of war arrived here today and re- I ported that an army of Pinkerton's cattle men is after the rustle rs, in camp at the Narrows, about seventy miles north of here. The army is well supplied with' ammuni tion and supplies. The rustlers made the t small ranchmen believe it to their interest to oppose the' army, and if a fight occurs it will be a desperate one. It is believed a ight will take place not later than Saturday, as the rustlers are prepared, and they think the army will show no quar ter. Another army of cattlemen is re ported to be on their way to reinforce the first one. No one doubts that cattlemen from Texas and Montana are combining in an effort to crush out the rustlers. If both armies of cattlemen now in the field unite - they will undoubtedly win the battle. but the rustlers will defy either party if at tacked by but one at a time. BANK CLEARINGS.

HEY FA OR CL EL O, he Bay State Democrats Instruot Their Delegates to Support Eilm , at Chicago. to - That State Soon to Be Mo0ved se Into the Certainly Demo oratiac olumn. se R linging Address ot Hon. Edward Avery, alt f orrlatree. Permanent Chairman he -The Platform Adopted, t BosTo, April 8.-The demooratlo state convention for the choice of four delegates to the national convention at Chicago met at the Tremont hotel this afternoon. r Three hundred and twenty-thri td w$a. ad twenty eight cities were reptesemtl. by 1,931 de!egates. Hon. Edward, ery. Og Braintree, was unanimously bhosne as pe md nanent chairman. Mr. Avery, upon tkhigg .- the chair, addressed the convention at ooee ie siderable length. He reviewed the history of the party in the state for many yeaxrs told how it had fought, undismayed by de y feat, unawed by force, unseduced by prom if ies of places of power, of honor; undis turbed by sneers and scoffs: outvoted, hat never disheartened or corrupted, until to. day Massachasetts is placed among the 10 doubtful states. In his opinion it+ could soon be moved into the column of states cR ertainly democratic. Taking up the silver question, the speaker said: "No Massachusetts democrat in g Boston or in Washington, in private or in congress, hesitates to express himself on a the silver question. We are thankful that the danger of the passage of a free coin age act seems for the present to be averted. Some voters who contributed to this result may have voted from pure patriotism, some from pure politics, and some from pure satisfaction with the existing law. For one, I accept the result with gratitude and forego all criticism of motive. We are equally opposed to the existing law and the proposed law. The existing law is a repub lican measure, and we hold the republican party resp~onsible for it and all its attend a ing evils." He deolared that the national democratic ' party is for honest money; a currency of gold and silver, every dollar of which shall be of equal intrinsic value all oven the world. "Until this policy is modified by another national convention, no man or set of men, in congress or out of congress, can ® commit the party to any other policy. - The republican party, in its platform and in the consistent provisions of the act of 1890, is committed to the opposite policy." The speaker then took up the question of tariff and reviewed at some length the of * feat of the Mcoinley law upon New Eag Slaand institutions, and in donclusion said: "Success is a duty. How to secure it will be one problem submitted to the conven tion to which you to-day elect represents. a tives of your state. The first great step is the adoption of sound principles and a declaration of policy to guide legislators and the executive. The next duty will be the selection of the candidate. I believe the candidate should be as strong as' the platform, and indeed he should be an em bodiment of the platform; and not merely that, but one who is so wedded to his prin ciplets that he would encounter defeat in, their open defense, rather than insunre suo sees by discreet silence. I believe our can didate should be a man of tried honesty, broad and comprehensive patriotism and undoubted courage; cool in action, deliber ate in judgment, and ready and willing under all circumstances and at all hazards to do what he believes to be right. To such a man the destiny of a great nation can be safely entrusted; to such a man. I doubt not, the delegates from Massachusetts will give their united votes, and such a man, I believe the united democracy will elect as the next president of the United States." Mr. Avery's address was listened to with close attention. When he said the next president must be a democrat there was applause and shouts of "Cleveland!" Mr. Avery attempted to proceed, but cheers were demanded for Cleveland and given with will and a tiger. Then came a call for cheers for Hill. I hese were given, but with a liberal mixture of himses. As Avery proceeded to draw the ideal candi date the convention was quick to recognize the portrait of Cleveland, and 'there were repeated cries of "Clevelandi" and loud and continued applause. The committee on resolutions and plat. forms presented their report, which was adopted with a few dissenting voices. The platform reaffirms the principles of the democratic coaventions of 1890 and 1891, and says: "From the power to tax arises the whole force of government, but taxa tion must be limited, and no moremoney should be collected than is necessary for economical administration of the govern. ment." The free wool bill, now in con gress. is approved, as are the bills to place coal andiron on the free list. It favors a general reduction of the tariffs imposed by the bills of 1883 and 1890. Rieferring to money, it says: "We believe in honest money, the gold and silver coinage of our constitution, and a currency convertible into such coinage without lose. We believe that all dollars coined by the United States should be of equal intrinsic value, and all paper cur rency icauned by the government should be redeemable in either gold or silver coin, at the discretion of the secretary of the treas ury. While we believe in the full remone tixation of the latter metal by international agreement. we are equally opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver by our government, independent of aotion by other nations. We denounce the republican aoct of 1890, which requires the monthly pun chase of 4,500,000 ouncesof silver and the is. sue upon it of upwards of $14,000,000 per annum of 70-cent paper." In closing, the platform declares that the best interests of the demooratie party demandl the nomination of Grover Cleve land. When Cleveland's name was men tioned, there was rapturous applause, and the convention was plainly in sympathy with the resolutions. Thee, F, Keenan, of Boaton, offered a resolution favoring David B. Hill, of New York, but as theeta were some objections to it. Mr. Keenan with drew it. The convention then proceeded to the nomination of deleRgates at large. It was decided that a majority should he neceea sary for election, but in view of the fact that a ballot might not result in the choide of four delegates a reconalsideration of the vote requiring the vote of a majority to elect was moved.

Hoghton had a majority. The report was adopted. John H. Sullivan, of Boston; harles S. Hamlin, of Brooklyn; tlenr W, Ashley, of Wes.ttlfIeld, and W, b. eoNary, - of Boston, were elected alternates.
