This was refused. When the count was fin-ished, the Foster commissioners and clerK refused to sign the tally sheets and aban-doned at the polls. One of the Foster com-missioners at this poll was arrested today, and, with the other commissions s, required to show cause why they did not proceed w ith the count as required by law.

CLEVELAND AND GRAY Are the Names for Which the Hoosier Bourbons Yelled Themselves Black in the Face. KEYSTONE REPUBLICANS. A Kresh Secretary Causes an Unlimited Amount of Squabbling The Nom-inations Made Other Political .Notes. Indianapolis, Ind., April 21. The demo-cratic state convention met here this morn-ing to nominate a state ticket and choose delegates to the national convention. Senator Turpie was made permanent chairman. On taking the chair he made a speech in which he declared the convention meant the condemnation and overthrow of all force bills, and federal returning boards; he noted how there were no recent, reports of southern outrages since the defeat of the force bill ; the convention also meant a re-duction in the tariff rates in the interest of the workingmau as against the banditti of tariff trusts and combinations, that the farm-e- r should no longer give a part of his crop as a comoulsory tribute to the protected monopolist; the convention further meant retrenchment in public expenditures and the condemnation and political death of the advocates of extravagance. The speaker arraigned President Harrison as the "flesh and blood a embodiment, the completes! personification of the errors, falsehoods and fallacies of the re-publican party." At the conclusion of Turpies address the platform was read and unanimous-ly adopted. The greatest enthusiasm was caused by the resolution declaring for Cleveland, but endorsing Governor Gray as the choice of Indiaua should Cleveland's nomination become impossible. The ad-herents of both tried to outdo each other in frantic cheers at the mention of their favor-ite's name. The plank in the platform commending the labor unions and deciaring the demo-cratic party the friend of the laboring man was aiso received with cheers. The follow-ing ticket was then nominated: Ju;!geofthe supreme court, Second district J. W.'Ne.v. Judge of the supreme court, Ttiird district James McCabe. Judtr--' 'i the supreme court, Fifth district T. . Howard. Judge of tie- Appellate Court, First district George Keinhardt. Judge of the Appellate Court, Second district : iiik E. Gavin. Judgeof the Appellate Court. Third district Theodore Pi Cavis. . A Breezy Convention. IlAKRisntitG, Pa., The republican state convention yesterday made the following nominations: For Supreme Judge John Dean of Blair. For CoiigresMueu at Large Major McDowell and William Lilley. Judge Thomas Clayton of Delaware, Judge John Dean of Biaire, Judge John Henderson of Crawford, Sudge Harry White of Indiaua, Judge JohnEwiugof Alleghany, Judge Rob-ert W. Archibald of Lackawanna, Judge Wilbur F. Sadler of Cumberland were pre-sented for the supreme j udgeship nomina-tion. After the lirst ballot Clayton's name was withdrawn. Upon announcement of the result of the seventh ballot, showing 11 1 votes for Hen-derson, Mr. McGee shouted out a protest, saying that the secretary was cheating for Henderson and moved that tellers be ap-pointed. McGee's motion was put to the convention, and, although the vote appeared lurge in its favor, Chairman Martin declared it lost. McGee shouted that such work would not do; cries of "fair play!" were heard all over the building, and the chair again put the question. This time there could be no doubt that a majority favored the motion, and tellers were elected, Secretary Leach refus-ing to longer keep the tally sheet. The eighth ballot resulted: Henderson, 120, Dean 100; Ewing, 25; Archibald, 19; White, 16; Sadler, L At the conclusion of the ninth ballot sev-eral delegates changed their votes, mostly going to Dean, for the reason that Rwiag's front had then been broken in iavor of Dean, under the leadership of Magee. Philadelphia, which had been for Hender-son, protested against any changes. Secre-tary Leach was working for Henderson hard. Finally the voice of Magee was heard above the noise, shouting: "Tako Leach away from the tellers; he's not a member of the convention." Cries of "Put Leach out!" "Throw him out!" and yells of all sorts fol-lowed and stopped the work of the conven-tion for a time. The chairman put an end to the bad feel-ing by announcing that the tellers were un-able to agjee, and that another ballot must be taken. This resulted: Dean 135, Hender-son 127, Ewing 7, Sadler L Dean lacking just one of the number necessary to elect. Mr. Rea, who named Henderson, then withdrew him, and the nomination of Dean was made unanimous with a hurrah, bring-ing to a close ode of the most exciting con-tests for a judicial nomination ever wit-nessed in a convention in Pennsylvania. Major McDowell and Wm. Lilley were nominated for congressmen at large. Dele-gates to the national convention were also nominated, and the convention adjourned. The Contest in Indiana. Indianapolis, April 21. At a meeting of prominent supporters of Cleve-land and Gray it was decided that the Indiana delegation to the demo-cratic national convention will vote for Grover Cleveland for president until it be-comes manifest that he is not to be the choice of tho convention, and then the dele-gation will vote for Isaac P. Gray. The in-cidental indorsement of Gray is conceded by the pa.ty leaders to be a proper recognition of the claims of the but only in submission to the inevitable the Gray people acceded to the agreement. There Is no like-lihood of the Gray men receding from the agreement, and the exertions of the leading Cleveland men are being directed to .vent their ic followers from break-ing away and ignoring the agreement by endeavoring to stampede the convention into an unqualified indorsement of Grover Cleveland. The tight for the governorship was hotter than ever last night, with Shankland and Ma-thews in the lead, but the friends of Nib-lac- k and Nye are hopeful, ihankland's friends insist that he will be nominated on the second ballot. Matthews says that after the first ballot he will have twenty-fou- r votes to spare. Nye and Niblack are not making . CHICAGO LIVE STOCK. Chicago, April H.

A SENSATION FROM EUROPE Ths Deal Was to ba Sprung as Campaign Matter in tha Coming Presi-dential Contest. BUT NOBODY KNOWS IT, Secretary lilaino Never Heard of the Scheme Nor lid Any Other of I lie Par-ties Interested -- .Must lie a Uuil Day In Holland. New York, April 21. A special cable from Amsterdam says: There is reported here a most sensational and remarkable in-ternational transaction which cannot fail to make a great stir in England and Germany. Tne transaction consists in th. virtual sale of the island republic of San Domingo to a private company in the United State, the sum agreed upon being (3,500,000 in 5 per cent debentures secured on the revenue from tobacco and other articles. This concession had been soid by Westerndorff, the well known banker of this city, who represented the San Domingo bondholders. At present nothing remains but the signa-tures of the American representatives to complete the transactions and secure the United States this most important harbor and coaiiug station. The holder of this con-cession practically rules the republic, be-cause he pays the officials and receives the revenues from the tobacco monopoly. A striking feature, however, is the state-ment that the scheme has been approved and indorsed by Blaine, and is supported by v. uld and Ogden Mills. It is also re-ported that those gentlemen are going to spring it upon the United States as a campaign weapon somewhat upon the same lines as those on which Beaeonsheld secured control of the Suez canal for En-gland. The tran action has been rushed through with unprecedented rapidity, all the details hav ing been arranged in fourteen days. Baron Von Oiegar, a London company pro-moter, together with Solicitor Watson Thomas, are awaiting the arrival of the American signatures. The former does not deny that the private company is virtually the United States government, which in this manner has become now and forever master of San Domingo. One of the most active negotiators has been Isaacs, son of the late lord mayor of London, and Legrue and Restio of Brussels. New York, April 21. Concerning the re-ported virtual sale of San Domingo, George Gould said, in the absence of his father, that he ws sure the latter had never of it. Ogden Mills said he had never heard of it. Consul Vfcsqnez of San Domingo and Consul-G-eneral Haustedt of Hayti, which occu-pies a third of San Domingo, both said the story was news to them: that such a plan could not have been considered, for no man or party could agree to sell the land. That it couid only be done by a vote of all the people. Such a vote had not been asked for. Washington, April 21.

DEMORALIDED ALL-ROUN- D The Change In tlie Various Portfolios Create lng a fierce Kesponwe from the Victims of the Headsman Scenes from 'the Official Kiting. The police thermometer wa3 run up to fever heat today in an interview between Captain John Donovan and Officer Hugh L, Glenn, who was recently invited to put in his resignation, There was a stormy session in the back room, which is reserved for pri. ate purposes, and the led the pro. cession from within. Upon his faco was de-picted a map of the l?.te unpleadantnesa be. tween Chile ai.d Mr. Blaine. The sumo mental condition was reilected in the fea-tures of the other. 'I want you to get out," shrieked Captain Donovan. ''Then, put me out," replied the disman. tied patrolman. "I wont have this kind of talk," said Cap. tain Donovau. "I deny that I have said anything," chir. rupped Glenn. "Weil," persisted Donovan, "I don't want you here. This is a private office for privaLo purposes." 'Well then throw me out,"carroled Glenn, ;'I want to be thrown out. I am still a member of thi3 police force and propose to urge my claims to membership until tho city settles with me. I am entitled to & hearing before I atn kicked out and to at least thirty days notice. The tempest ended at this point and er Glenn took a walk. Captain Donovan was waited on by tho Times' reception committee a hort time after and stated that Mr. Glenn had made himself very obnoxious to the rules of the office. That for this reason he had ordered hio departure and he had refused to go. "What was the cut of his conversation Y" urged the reporter. "Well, he was damning the mayor, damn-ing Januey and damning everybody else." Mr. (iienn w is seen a short time later and said he had damneu no one. That he had gone into the office on a friendly visit and had been ordered out. The situation among the deposed officers is becoming more fiery each moment and the storm is liable to break loose tomorrow. Mr. Uichnor Kesigns. The position of deputy city attorney was vacated at noon today, D. C. Eichnor, who has served so well in that capacity sending in his resignation to Mayor Buskin. Tere are numerous rumors alioat that have jeen drifting like smoke all over town for tlie past few days. Mr. Eichnor's resignation, whirh is a fol-lows, tells nothing of the probable heart-aches, disappointments and struggles that lie beneath it. This is what ho says: Salt Lakhs Crrv, Ltah, April 21, 1898. Hon. J. V. Huikin, Mayor of .salt Lake Ctfy, U?a : I hereby resiirn my position as uepiity city nttorney. respectfully yours. D. C. Eichnob. A brave fight has been made for Mr. Eichnor by his friends, but it Is understood that the head of his department i, and ha been, bitterly opposed to his reappoint-ment. In fact it was publicly stated several days ago that Eichnor was out of the race, as Judge Hoge had declared that he would nod have him,F- assistant. The appointee will probably be Charley-Glenn- , the silver tongued young orator from Virginia, who did yeoman's sorvics for tho liberal party in the last campaign. Glenn has held aloof from the light until it was de-cided that Eichnor could not be appointed but now stands prepared to serve his country in the capacity at assisant to Judge Hog asking nothing more than the. fond privilege, to do his duty for sweet duty's sake. Mr. Eichnor in retiring takes with him thfl consciousness of duty well performed and, the felicitations of numerous friends mad in his old office.' w Tlie "Lawful Money" Amendment.

The rioverni)jent Keported to Have Lost One-Thir- d of Its Force Telegraph Wir,s are Cut in all Directions. Ksw York, April 21. The HeraW Puerto Cabello, Venezula, cable says: This town is in great excitement over the utter rout of government troops on April 14. At sundown on that date Palacio's army made a tinal and futile attempt to dislodge the force of the insurgents under command of General Mora, entrenched at a spot just beyond Opolito. Twice the government soldiers attacked the enemy and failed to drive it over their ill success. Palaci'os troops showed signs of panic, but under the appeal of their leader they rallied, and again charge the foe. The encounter was brief, but furious. They were defeated all along the line, and, turning, fled in every direction. The insurgents followed in h.it i.,;rsuit, and did not abandon it until the terror-stricke- n government troops were well on the road to this town. Many dead, dying and wounded were left upon the battlefield. Some were rebels, but the large majority were followers of Palacio. The government soldiers did not stop to carry their dead and injured from the scene, but straggled into Puerto Cabello, startling the whole town with the story of their complete defeat. Nothing definite is learned as to the exact number of the slain, but it is officially an-nounced that the government lost a third of its force iu the encounter. Of this loss, by far the greater proportion was caused by de-sertion. As soon as Palaceo's men saw that they were overcome, many threw down their arms and went over to the enemy. The news of the battle's result spread ter-ror throughout Puerto Cabello. It was al-most immediately followed by a general conscription order. Every able-bodie- d man in town wa forced into military service. The stores were all closed, there being no one to tend them. Women keep within doors, not daring to go out. An attack on Puerto Cabello is momenta-rily expected, but it is probable that Mora will not at present attempt to capture the town. He will probably stay at Moranand Planta Chavez, two important points, and endeavor to hold them. In this position he is enabled to cover the landing of arms and munitions of war, and forward them to Gen-eral Crespo. When a consignment of arms and ammunition is put in Crespa's posses-sion, -M- ora will abandon his present position of advantage. It is difficult to get any new:-ou- t of Venezuela, as the wires are cut iu every direction. Palacio's men had a severe battle April 7th with revolutionists from Zamor.a and Lara, under Muzana, one of Crespo's chiefs. Mazana captured the towns of Araure and Acarig la. He had oOOU men. Tlie battle j was a fierce one, with great loss of life on j both sides. The next morning Mazona suc-ceeded in cutting through tlie nationalist ranks and pressed northward. He retook Aroure and made a forced march on Tina-quill-where he was joined by reinforce-ments and marched to join Crespo. OUT IN WYOMING. Tho Texans Propose to Go and See What Was Dona to Their Party. FOJR KILLED IN THE FIRST FIGHT. The Cowboys on the Little Powder Kiver and the liustlers Meet and the Latter are Worsted --More Trouble Keared. Paris, Texas, April 21. The fate of a party of cattlemen from here who were cap-tured and taken to Fort MeKinney is the up-permost theme of conversalion. Every ef-fort has been made to reach them by tele-graph, aud the anxiety of the friends of the captured men is great. It seems to be set-tled that four Texans were killed in the first light with the rustlers. They were Alex Lowther, Buck Garret, Box Barling, Tom Smith alias Frank Cannon. Smith organized the party. Barling has a wife and two children. Garret and Lowther were unmarried. It is believed the rustlers murdered Lowther after he surrendered. Relatives do not believe that he is dead. Governor Eagle of Arkansas and Governor Hogg of Texa.-- . have wired Governor Barber for information. Unless news is received tomorrow a piarty will leave for Wyoming to lind out what became of the Texans. Deadwood, S. D., April 21. Word is brought to this city of a battle between cow-boys at the spring round up near the Little Powder river and rustlers, fought Monday, resulting in the repulse of the rustlers. It is expected that trouble will ensue again, as the rustlers are determined to get into the rouud up. . Denver, April 21. A special from Buf-falo, Wyo., says that on Saturday a coro-ner's jury returned a verdict of murder in the first degree against the invaders, in ac-cordance with the orders of the coroner. The troops of the Sixth cavalry that rescued the invading cattlemen on the 13th, proceeded on Sunday for Cheyenne. The troops camp tonight at tiie Cheyenne river south of Ognllalla reuch. Nothing has since occurred of any note. The storm which has been raging several days ended this morning and telegraphic com-munications with the world is resumed. REVOLT IN MATTO CBOQSO.

All steamers on the Parana river have been seized by the insurgents. The government troops are expected to arrive in Matto Crosso next week and will at once at-tack the forts occupied by the insurgents. A RINCt of frauds.

The importers, customs in-spectors, wTeighers and assistants, as well as some gaugers, formed ring which appears to have been operating successfully for a num-ber of years. AN EPIDEMIC OF POISONING.
