i.) Carlisle’s Plight.
WASHINGTON. M ay 15.—The silver Dem<
ocrats are laughing in their sleeves over
Secretary Carlislc’s predicament. He had
his plan all made to go to Kentucky and
labor in the interest of a sound money del-
egation to the Chicago convention and a
personal indorscment of himself. This
plan has been suddenly abandoned, and
the Kentucky delegation may yet land in
the silver camp. The senate bond investi-
gation resolution has been used. to hold
up the secretary. The four silver senators
who practically constitute its membership
have quietly allowed it to be understood
that they want the secretary where they
can call on him on short notice. If he
should show a disposition to get out of
range and mix in Kentucky Epolitics, they
would be immediately consumed with a
burning eagerness to learn all about the
iniquitics of the bond deal. So, like an
unhappy mouse watched by four ferocious
cats, the secretary moves around Washing-
ton and tries to feel at home.
W'est Virginia. For McKinley.
CLARKSBURG, W. Va, May 15.—The

chosen delegates to St. Louis. Resolutions
were adopted instructing them for Me-
Klnley and declaring for sound money,
favoring the largest use of silver consist-
ent with the gold standard. ,
WHEELING, May 15.—The Republican
state convention today instructed its dele-
gates to support McKinley for president
and adopted a sound money platform.
Republicans In Washington.
EVERETT, Wash., May 15.—The Repub-
lican state convention will meet in this
city. John S. McMillan of Books Harbor
appears to be in the lead for chairman of
the convention, and his selection will
mean a victory for the sound money men,
his financial views, it is reported, being
in entire accord with that element of the
party in this state. A fight will be forced
by, the silver men, who say that they will
be able to pass a resolution expressive of
their sentiments. The indications, how-
ever, are not favorable to silver in the
convention.
\Vyoming Republicans.
CHEYENNE, Wy., May 15.—The Repub-
lican state convention for Wyoming will
elect a McKinley delegation to St. Louis,

struct its St. Louis delegates to work for
recognition of silver in the national plat-
. Advertise in t‘1e Gaz'lmn.

The End of One Chapter In the Mystery
of Pearl Bryan’s Death.
NEWPORT, Ky., May 15.—The jury in

courtroom with a verdict early this after-
noon. Amid a deathllke stillness the
foreman handed the verdict t9 the clerk,
who read as follows: “We, the jury, find
the defendant, Scott Jackson, guilty of
murder in the first degree and fix his pen-
alty at death. ”
The judge had previously announced
that no demonstration of- approval or dis
approval by spectators would be permitted.
Deputies wore placed throughout the room,
with instructions to bring before the court
any person disobeying this instruction to
be punished for contempt. Consequently
the verdict was heard with silence, but
immediately upon the adjournment of
court the spectators rushed to the jurors
and shook their hands heartily. They also
shook each other by the hand, showing a.
hearty approval of the verdict of the jury.
Jackson himself received his doom with
no manifestation of emotion, except ashen
paleness of the face. N one of his relatives
were present. The aged father of Pearl
Bryan and her brother, Fred Bryan, were
present when the verdict was rendered.
The usual motion for a new trial was
made, and then Jackson was taken away
to jail. He had been surrounded by a
half dozen or more officers when the jury
came in, and went out under their protec-
tion, although there was no demonstration
to indicate a necessity for so much care.
