Carlisle Can't Comply. He Will Not be a Candidate Before the.Convention. WA8HI!?GT6N, April 5.-Secretary Carlisle this evening gave oat the fol? lowing letter to Chairman Long of the " Democratic State ceo tr al committee de? dialog to enter the contest for the Democratic nomination for the presi? dency : Treasury Department, Office of the Secretary. Washington, April 4, 1896. Chas. R. Long, Chairman Democratic State Central Committee, Louisville, ty.: Dear Sir : Your favor of March 30, in which you say io substance that SkftQj of my friends in Ken tacky and elsewhere desire me to become a candi date before the approaching national Democratic convention for the nomi Da? tion for the office of Presideot, aod askiog me to give some authoritative or definite expression apon the subject, was daly received aod bas been ma? turely considered. Many communications upon the same subject and of similar import have been received from my friends in different parts of the country, and while very grateful for these numerous expressions of confidence aod esteem upoo tbe part of my Democratic fellow-citizens, ? have not been able to reach the conclu? sion that tbe existing conditions require me to comply with tbeir requests by au? thorizing them to announce me as a candidate for the presidential nomina? tion. While I feel a profound interest in the welfare of my party, I am much i more concerned about its decoration of principles than ic ifs selection of candi? dates, because ic my opinion its failure j or success at tbe election, as well as its ! capacity for useful service to the coun? try io the future, depend upon the posi- i tion it takes or omits to take upon the ! public questions now engaging the at-! tentioo of the people, and especially the questions affecting the monetary system of the country and the char? acter and amount of taxation to be im? posed upoo oar citizens. Its position i upon these and other subjects having been agreed upon and clearly and dis? tinctly announced, the convention ought to bave DO difficulty iu selecting an acceptable candidate who will fairly ' represent its views ; and io order that its deliberatioos may be embarrassed as little as possible by the contention of rival aspirants aod their friends, I think my duty to the party will be best performed by declining to participate io a contest for the nomination. The obligations assumed when I ac? cepted my preseot official position re? quire me to devote my entire time aod attention to the public interests com? mitted to my charge aod [ shall con? tinue to discharge tbe duties imposed apoD roe to the best of my ability and in such a manner as will in my judg meot most certainly promote the true ioterests of the couotry ; dad if in the opioion of my fellow-Democrats io Ken tacky my service entitles me to their commeodatioo and approval, I would regard their eodorsemeot of roy public course as ao ample reward fer the lit.'le I have been abie to accomplish in be? half of honest administration and a sound financial policy. With many thanks for your kind letter, I am Very truly yours, J G. Carlisle. , Diamond Robberies. New York, April 5 -A special to the Recorder froin Jacksonville, Fla , says that diamond thieves have been numerous in Florida this season, and have committed robberies in hotels on the ea3t coast from St. Augustine to Royal Poinciana. It is reported that the thieves have secured be tween $20,000 and $30,000 in jew? elry. Among the heaviest losers is Mrs. Henry Cutting, Of New York, who is stopping at the Ponce de Leon hotel in St. Augustine, whose loss is estimated at $13,000, consist? ing principally of family jewels. The suite of Mr. and Mrs Camp at the Poinciana Palm Beach was also entered and heirlooms of an actual value of $6,000 were taken. The .next robbery reported ie that of Wm. Freeborn, a retired merchant of Tivoli on-the-Hudson He and his daughter have been guests of the Alcazar all the season Miss Free born reports that her jewelry case has been robbed, and that her jewels valued at $4,000, have been taken. Besides there have been a number of smaller thefts, some running as high as $555, but so far as known none of the prominent crooks who have been run out of the resorts in this State in the past few days have been arrested on the charge of the robberies. New Pish Law. A good many people arc anxious to know what change was made during the Legislature, as regards thc fish law. Section 2, as published below, will give the desired informa? tion : Sec 2. It shall be unlawful at any time during the year to stretch any staked nets, seins, wire fences or traps more than half way across the I river or streams, or to use any seins in any of the lakes of the Stete ex- j cept where such basins or iakes lie j wholly within limite of private pro perty of this State Persons who violate this Act are ; liable to be punished by a fine of not more than ?100 nor less than $30, or imprisonment not more than 30 nor leSS than IQ H a vs Appeal for Arbitration. American, English and Irish Cardinals Issue an Address. Baltimore, April 4.-His eminence Cardinal Gibboo8 bas made public au appeal signed by the American, Irish and English oardinais in bebelf of a permanent tribunal of arbitration with the view of creating new guarantees for peace throughout the world as a substi? tute for war. The appeal is the result of a joint conference in wbicb Cardinal Gibbons, Cardinal Logue and Cardinal Vaugbau have for quite some time been engaged. Tbe conclusions arrived at by their eminences are as follows : We, the undersigned cardinals, rep? resentatives of the Prince of Peace and the Catholic church in our respective countries, invite all who bear our voices to co-operate in the formation of a public opioion, which hball demaud the establishment of a permanent tribu? nal of arbitration, as a rational substi? tute amoog the Eoglisb-speakiog races for a resort to the bloody arbitrament of war. We are well aware that such a pro? ject is beset with practical difficulties. We believe that they will not prove to be insuperable if the desire to over? come them be genuine and general. Such a court existed for centuries wh^n the nations of Christendom were united in one faith. Aod have we not seen natioos appeal to that same court for its j judgment ia our day ? Ti?e establishment of a permanent ? tribunal, composed, it may be, of trust? ed representatives of each sovereign oatioo, with power to uominate judges and umpires according to the nature of the differences that arise, and a com- j mon acceptance of general priuciples defining and iimiting the jurisdiction j aird subject matter of such a tribunal, j wouid create new guarantees for peace ! that could not fail to iufluence the whole ! of Christeodom. Such an international court of arbi- j tration would form a second line of dc- j feose to be called ioto requisition only after the ordinary resources of diplo? macy had been exhausted. It would at least postpone the outbreak of hostilities uo til reason and co mme o sense had j formally pronounced their last word. This i? u matter of which the consti? tution and procedure must be settled by the government. But as governments are becoming more and more identified with the aspirations, and moulded by the desires of the people, au appeal in the first iostance must be addressed to the people. , We do not hesitate on our part to lift up our united voices and proclaim to all who are accustomed to harken to our counsels, that it is a sign of divine iu? fluence at work io their midst when "cation shall not lift up sword again>t oation, neither shall they be exeroised j any more in war." (Isiah ii, 4 ) For i it wasv written of a future, "Come ye and behold the work of the Lord, what He hath done upon the earth, making war *o cease even to the eud of the earth." . (Psalms 45, 9 ) Others may base their appeal upon motives which touch your worldly in? terests, your prosperity, your world- ! wide influence and authority in the af? fairs of men. The Catholic church re? cognizes the legitimate force of such motives in the natural order and blesses whatever tends to the real progress and elevatioo of. the race. But our ground of appeal rests upon the well-known ? character and will of the Prince of Peace, the living founder, the divine ? head of Christendom. It was He who | declared that love for the brotherhood ? is a seooDd'commandment like unto the first. It was He who announced to the < people the praise and reward of those , who seek after peace and pursue it : "Blessed," said He, "are the peace- j makers, for they shall be called the children of God." (Matthew v, 9.) , We, therefore, earnestly invite all to unite with us in pressing their convic? tions and desires upon their respective governments by means of petitions and such of their measures as are cousti tutional. .Tames, Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore.

Cincinnati, April 5.-Several prom? inent women of this city have decided upon a plan of "getting even" for the passing of the Fosdick anti-high hat bill. One of them said: "We will avenge ourselves by introducing a biil in the Ohio legislature by which the men will be subjected to as big a snub as the women were. The bill will be. drawn in a few days with the same pro? visions and fines to be inflicted upon theatre-goers and managers as provided for io the Fosdick bill for each person j found leaving his seat dariog an inter- i mission it the theatre or found spitting j tobacco juice on the floor. I don't J koow that it will pass, but, neverthe? less, it will be introduced." - i i i tmm After all it seems that the republi? cans in congress did not thiok it worth while to unseat Congressman Elliott. tie is so thoroughly in accord with them on the one great issue before the . country that it would be almost like ^seating one of thejamily to turu him j Gallant Garcia. Cipher Dispatches Confirm the News of his Landing. New York, April 5 -A cipher dis? patch was received to-day by Meyer Stern of 262 West 123rd street, private secretary of General Calixto Garcia, a duplicate of which was sent to Mrs. Garcia at her residence, 256 West 129<h street, giving a detailed account of the Bermuda expedition to Cuba, of which General Garcia had cDarge, and of au important battle which took place io Pinar del Rio, which was disastrous to the Spaniards and which was made for the purpose of permitting the Bet muda to land her small arm? aod am? munition. The Spaniards lost 600 men. Despite the fact that the Spaniards have denied that the Bermuda had bod? ed, the cable reads as follows : "Bermuda landed the heavy part of ber cargo at Mariel bay, which is the narrowest part of the island of Cuba, 30 miles from Habana. One quarter of the men, of whom there were 109, landed at Bahia Honda. Garcia then consulted with Maceo, and they engaged the Spanish troops at Pifiar del Rio. The Bermuda's commander wanted to land the big guns in the eastern part of the island, but went west for two rea? sons : first, because the shallow water east would not permit the landing cf the big goos while she had the whole cargo; second, because they wanted to divert the attention of the Spaniards so that, thev would not watch the eastern coasts. ''The battle was fought to prevent, detachments of Spanish troops from marching to the coast, as they had bee^ ordered. "Garcia oas gone to Santiago de Cu? ba to organize his army. Me .starred with only 500 men, but at tbe time this cabio leaves he has 5.000 volun? teers Carlos Garcia, the general's sou, distinguished himseif at the battle of Pinar del Rio "On our way to Cuba we saw v^ry distinctly the smokestack of the Span? ish cruiser which followed us from New York." Tillman Talks Politics. Still in Favor of Bolting tbe Chicago Convention. Senator Tillman arrived in the city yesterday morning from Washington and went to Mr. J. VV. Bush's, where he was seen by a representa? tive of the State. The senator said at the outset that he did not want toe impression to go out that he was trying lo influence the action of the Democratic execu? tive committee, but that he was here simply to consult with the represen? tatives of that party in the State and let them know what was going on outside of South Carolina in the dis? cussion of the situation The duty of the executive committee was to let matters stand pretty much as they are, and not to precipitate a division of the white people. The committee had very little actual power ; the most was in prescribing what constituted Democracy and what persons should vote in the pri? mary. The question relative to this, asked by Mr. Reid, the secretary of the State Alliance, in a letter to Sen? ator Irby some days ago, would pro? bably be submitted to the committee at its meeting this morning. In speaking of the political situa tion, Senator Tillman said all was chaos, but he thought the people would do well to continue in State politics as they already were ; that under the new Constitution they could now afford to difter on national issues. It was being said that large numbers of whites were joining the Republican party, but he did not think it amounted to a row of pins, for the Republican party could make no showing in this State If they met with proper encouragement he did not doubt that they would try and make a fight, but they were bad? ly divided among themselves and could not do much When asked'if he still intended to bolt the Chicago convention, he re? plied that he had already stated if trie national platform did not promise relief he would not support it and the nominee, and that he was not in the habit of going back on what he had said'. "Do you think the people will be in favor of such a course ?'' was asked. "The people, in the platforms of 1892 and 1894 asked for financial re? lief, but it has not been granted yet. The people are greatly disappointed with Cleveland's policy, and as South Carolina has on two previous occa? sions voted independently for Presi? dent, 1 believe they will do so again, if the platform of the Chicago con? vention promises none. I do not, however, think it will be necessary to repudiate the nominee of the Democratic convention, for I ara of the opinion that the silver forces will have control and nominate a free silver man. "In the west the people are in very much the same position in re- j ga*d to the Republican party that we | if the south are relative to the Dem- j ocratic party. .'President Cleveland will hardly be a candidate for re election, but all his power and influence will be ex? cited in favor of John G. Carlisle." Speaking of his proposed western tour of speech-making, the senator said that he had engagements to speak at the following places, which he would fill after returning to Wash? ington from here : Lexington, Ky ; Denver, Gol ; Warrensburg, Mo ; St. Louis and Owensboro, Ky. "I have received many other invitations that I have been forced to decline for want of time " Senator Tillman said he [senthad out about 60,000 copies of his speech in the senate, and up to this time had received about 20,000 let? ters complimenting it, and they were still coming.-The State. A Boy Kills his Brother. Swansea, April 6.-Last Saturday evening two children of Mrs. Josh Starley, who lives seven miles south of here, went, our in the woods to gather wood, and the younger nor, coming back with the elder, ioquiry and search for him were made and at 2 p. m , to the horror of the searchers, be was found lying dead between two logs in the woods with an ugly gash made with au axe on his head, made by the elder. The supposition is that in felling a tree the younger child was knocked sense? less, and was killed afterwards by his brother. Strange to say, the father of these children was killed by a tree falling on him about two years ago. An elegant assortment ot' sterling silver mounted Card Cases ?od Pocket Books for ale b.r H. G.
