break he was nearly the last to get into

Sheep He Will Carry Ont the
Platform of His Congressloaal
District Convention
Washington March 27. Representa
tive Slavden. the Texas democrat who
will vote for the tariff bill said tonight as
to his course:
"Mv nosition Is that the policy of large-1
ly supporting the government by indirect
.' .. ..7 . . K7i.li. .J

is to be continued 1 can see no gooa rca-
son why the people of my district should
not share in the advantages of its assess
ment. I believe in a tariff on wool levied
so as not to be discriminating as suggest
ed In the national democratic platform.
The people of my district were greatly in
jured by the free raw material policy of
the Cleveland administration. They re-
garded it as against the producer. Its
effect was felt throughout the district. In
1S02 the assessors in Texas collected
taxes taxes upon 4061000 sheep; in 1896
upon 2140889. If this ratio of decrease
is continued we will apparently soon be
compelled to buy all our wool for our
clothes abroad and in the event of war
and blockaded ports our condition might
become really deplorable.
"The district convention upon the plat-
form of which I made my race for con
gress demanded a tariff upon imported
cattle hides and wool. I promised the
people of my district that if they elected
me I would vote for free silver and
against free wool and hides and I shall
cast both votes when tne opportunity pre
sents itself."
As to Naturalisation.
Washington March 27. Negotiations
are afloat at the instance of the Spanish
minister for a revision of our treaties with
Spain particularly with a view of bring
ing the rules ns regards the treatment of
naturalized citizens in conformity with
more modern treaties. If the same rule
is to govern in the revised treaty as ap-
plies to these two years domicile by a
naturalized citizen in his country will be
presumptive evidence of abandonment of
naturalization. If the Spanish minister
succeeds in his design a similar request
will be made by the Turkish minister In
behalf of his government.
McKinley and Cabinet.
Washington March 27. President Mc-
Kinley and all the members of the cabi-
net have accepted invitations to partici-
pate in the dedication of the battle monu
ment at West .Point JN. I. on ueooration
day. The monument was built by pri-
vate subscription and is intended to com
memorate the dead officers and soldiers
of the regular enlistment who lost their
lives in the war of the rebellion.
Fast Trial Speed.
New London Conn. March 27. -The
United States gunboat Wilmington suc
ceeded in making her trial trio today and
speeded over the course in 3 hours 35
minutes and o seconds making an aver
age of 15 knots during the run unofficial
time but the condition of the tide on both
logs of the course will increase the speed.
It is estimated the boat has won a pre-
mium of $40000 for her builders the
Newport News Shipbuilding company.
KENTUCKY SENATORSHIP.
No Change In the Situation A New
Candidate Talked Of.
Frankfort. Ky.. March 27. A majority
of the members of the legislature and vis
iting politicians went home today to spend
Sunday and there was a lull in the sena
torial contest in consequence. There was
no significant development in the situa
tion after today's ballot. The crisis is
expected to come on any of the three first
days of next week and an election by
Wednesday is generally considered prop-
able. Mr. Hunter's chances are not im-
proved notwithstanding there has been
some talk that one or possibly two gold
democrats might vote for him. The talk
of substituting a new candidate is caus
ing the most fear to the Blackburn-m-aa-ley
combination.
There was little or no excitement at
tendant upon the fourth joint ballot for
United States senator today.
When the ballot was taken it was
found that Hunter had only 56 votes the
democrats and the bolting republicans re
fusing to answer to their names mere
was not a quorum ana tne session sioou
adjourned.
