LOUISIANA REPUBLICANS. Niw Orleans, Jaa 23. Special Telegram.

The Louisiana Republican State Convention assembled at the Washington Artillery Hall in this city at noon to-day. Tbore are full delegations from every parish of the State, and the delegations are in the main made up of representatives of the best element of the party. There is no doubt that a full State ticket will be nominated, and strong 'hopes are indulged that assistance will be received from the National party. Strong representations have no doubt been and will be made as to the favorable conditions for carrying Lonisiana under a free ballot and a fair count The determination is expressed to pnt up a ticket which will appeal for the support of all classes of the community. The Republican majority of Southern Louisiana it is hoped will not be overwhelmed by the Democratic majority north of the Bed River.

The old Kellogg element of the party will probably be kept carefullr in the rear, while such men aa H. Miner, Taylor Beattie, Judge Wyley, Judge Toist, and others of' that character will fashion the policy of the campaign and name the ticket It is probable that an equally vigorous fight is to be made in the parish of Orleans for control of the municipal, affairs. A parish convention will be called for next month some time and a full ticket nominated. Judge Wyley and Mr. H.

Miner are most prominently spoken of as NOMINEES FOB 60VKKN0B. Albert Baldwin is also mentioned. Among those mentioned for places on the ticket, are Andrew Hero, J. W. Barnett, of St Mary, one of the largest sugar planters in the State, originally of Ohio; A.

Robert Harlan, a' colored ex-Representative from Cincinnati in the Ohio Legislature, is in attendance upon the convention. It is an open secret that Mr. Harlan is here in the interests of John Siierman. Concurrent with his appearance in the kail was the distribution of a song entitled, "John Sherman, the Pride of Onr Ftate," bearing upon its back a portrait of the Ohio statesman. There will be a lively fight in the Congressional delegations over the selection of delegates to the National Republican Convention, for almost every prominent man in the party is a candidate.

Washington, Jan. 2i Special Telegram. The Democratic politicians outside of New York are not disposed to accept the assumption of some of the NewTork Democrats that the Na- tional Democratic Convention is to be held in New York City, and that the President has expressed a wish to that effect Some gentlemen who are very near to the President say that they are confident that the President has not indigested what his desires are, if he has any, and that it would be inexpedient for him to do so. The double-leaded interviews which pretended give the President's Tiewa upon the subject baring been authoritatively denied by all who. were supposed to know about the matter, the movement has been renewed here in behalf of different cities, and delegations are already in the field for Cincinnaa and San Francisco.

It is a fact that the proposition is seriously made that the Democratic National Committee shall select Ban Francisco as the plaoe of meeting; committee has been appointed for this purpose, and two of the members are now here. This committee proposes to make, the most liberal offer 4hat has been mads the representatives of any of the cities so far a toe expenditure of uouev is concerned, ana propose to pay all the Z2L2Jz1-l- W'VJLI?"

The Cincinnati men are on the ground with their usual claim, and now the committee of leading representatives of the reform Democracy of Chicago have arrived here, nominally on other business, but as a matter of fact, one of the chiof purposes of their visit is to present to the President and such members of the National Committee as can be found, the claims of the Garden Citv.

These gentlemen are Mr. W. CL Goudy and Mr. Melville W. Fuller.

Mr. Gondy says that he is very confident that the President has not expressed a desire in favor of New York, and he does not see why he should do so. On tlie contrary, he thinks that the natural argument in favor of 'Chicago is too strong to be overcome, aud that the Democrats will decide to hold their convention in Chicago. OBITUARY.

The propertv involved amounts to over and will be appealed to the United States Supreme Court This decision, if sustained by the bu-preme Court, will secure to the people the right to all precious minerals contained within the public domain, and will especially give the right to mine these metals in large grants in this Territory, held by grant claimants, to the exclusion of legitimate prospectors.

Russia Also in Need of 20,000,000 Roubles to Complete the Fortifications Cable i MONEY WANTED. Bbbixji, Jan. 2a The Bundesrath to-day considered the estimates of the military bill The Nachrichlcn asserts that the amount re-quired to carry out the provisions of the bill will probably exceed 230,000.000 marks, which was at first supposed to be sufficient The statement is made by officials that the military bill will involve the expenditure of 234,000,000 marks.

It is rumored that Prince Bismarck considers the amount asked for in the military bill as excessive. Wabsaw, Jan. 2a General Gourko, presiding at a war council to-day, declared that 20.000,000 rooblee would be required to complete the fortifications on the Russian frontier and to build needed bridges, roads, and railways. An offensive war in Russian Poland, he said, was impossible under present conditions, bnt a defensive war is possible if all the railways and stores were destroyed. CONDITION OF THE CROWN PRINCE.

Beblix, Jan. 2a The Tag'cblatt says that Dr. Mackenzie will return to San Romo next week. In its report of the Crown Prince's case the paper says: "In the Crown Prince's larynx exists a portion of the dead cartilage, which must be removed. An attempt to do this will be made by Dr.

Mackenzie, during whose stay at San Remo another conference of doctors will be held, with a view of reaching a definite decision as to the nature of the Prince's illness. An opinion is desirable so as to determiue when the Prince will be able to return to Germanv. The National says that information has been sent to the Em-l peror that particles of the dead cartilage had been coughed up from the diseased part of the Prince's larynx since the 17th iust The Prince has been confined to his apartments eight days, but since Friday has been recovering. THE BRITISH GRAIN TRADE. Londox, Jan.

2a The Mark. Lana Exprem says: "English wheat is in restricted demand. Sales during the week, 61,699 quarters at 30 shillings 11 pence, against 49,739 quarters at 36 shillings for the corresponding week last year. Flour depressed tinder increased receipts of foreign produce. Importations of foreign wheat decreased, but price continue lower in consequence of the enormous supply of American flour.

Tbe increasing output of by American mills now forms a dominant factor in the world's bread-stuffs markets. At Liverpool wheat is Id cheaper. Corn is iu limited supply, but prices have not varied. The American new crop, which now being offered at 27s 6d ex-ship, is found to be in excellent quality and sound. Linseed advanced Is.

One wheat cargo arrived. One was sold, three withdrawn, and one remains. At to-day's mrrket wheat of all kinds was depressed, and 6 ponce less would have been accepted, bnt buyers insisted upon a shilling. Fiour declined Corn a shade weaker. Oats, beans, and peas steady.

Linseed maintained the advance. BRITISH POLITICS. Londox. Jan. 24.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, speaking at Hastings last night, said that Mr. Gladstone knew perfectly well that neither he nor Lord Haruugton desired to place a duty on corn. The government, he said, was determined that the coining session should be a normal one. There was no fear that the Ministry would go to pieces over its home policy, as Pamell had declared it would. He denied that there was any dissension in the Cabinet over tbe local government bilL The story that Lord Harrington had used pressure to induce the government to modify the measure was simply an invention from beginning to end.

ATTEMPT TO KILL LOUISE MICHEL. Paris, Jan. 23 An attempt was made to kill Louise Michel, at Havre, last evening. Bhe was making an address at a meeting of anarchisto, when a man in the audience named Lucas suddenly arose and, pointing a revolver at the speaker, two shot at her. She received a serious wound in the head, and the lobe of one of her ears was torn away.

Lucas had a narrow escape from lynching at tlie hands of the in. furiated anarchists, and it was only the timely arrival of gendarmes that saved bin. He was locked up. A later examination shows that the wound re-eeived by Louise Michel, at Havre, last night is not of a serious nature, Lateb. The condition of Louise Michel is now reported serious.

PROTECTION IN EUROPE. Loxdox, Jan. 2a Mr. Shaw-Lerevre, in a 'speech before Bradford Chamber of Com. merce this evening, said that the wave of protection which had passed over Europe during recent years had not yet spent its force.

Tbe movement was coincident with and dependent on the increase of military feeling, which represented an exaggerated notion of nationality. He was confident that before long the world would see serious conflicts between the various powers. The fact that German manufacturers were trenching upon British trade was due to their being better informed and having a closer connection with their customers. It was needful, he said, for England to remedy this state of lungs. CHURCHILL INTERVIEWED.

Bebxix, Jan. 23. Lord Randolph Churchill in an interview this evening denied in emphatio terms that his journey to Russia had any political significance whatever. He also said that he believed the feeling among all respectable Rus sians was distinctly pacific. They did not share the apprehensions felt in Europe.

The enormities with which the press censor is credited are much exaggerated. It was only rarely that he found his newspapers had been touched, and in such instances it was chiefly passages of criticism of the Czar or his govern ment tna oaa Deen euminatea. CABLE FLASHES.

WRECKED BY THE CASHIER. The First National Bank of Anbarn, N. Closes Its Doors for Lack of Money. Two of Its Chief Offioors, Who Embss- sled the Funds, Probably Safo in Canada. Another Tumble in Oil Slick Xnner in Which an Operator Worked the Market.

A BANK BURST. Acbcbn, N. Jaa 23. Special Telegram. Rumors were thick on the streets this morning that Cashier Charles O'Brien, of the First National Bank, had mysteriously left town, and that the affairs of the bank were in bad shape.

These stories were soon verified, and at 9 o'clock, the time for opening the bank, the following notice was posted on ths door of the institution: PendlBS an examination of the affairs of this bank, and the absence of the cashier, the bank will not be opened till farther notice. Payments of all demands payable here will be received. It was also learned that book-keeper Elmer E. Morse, of tbe bank, was missing, and it ia supposed that both men left tbe city on Saturday evening. Cashier O'Brien was at ths bank after 3 o'clock Saturday, and Morse was seen about that time.

The bank did business as usual on Saturday, and closed at 12 o'clock. The announcement of Cashier O'Brien's flight startled and all were loathe to believe that one of the most popular young men in town had gone wrong. The notice was read by hundreds, but tnere were no demonstrations of any kind. Several depositors who came to draw money for the opening of the week's business were surprised and angry, but they did not stop long in ths cold to vent thair rage. For several months the First National Bank has been regarded as the infant of the banking institutions in this city, but notwithstanding this it has had a goodly share of the business owing partly to the popularity of the missing cashier, who was ever ready to help a friend, and it is said that this is the cause of his present difficulties.

It has been almost impossible to ascertain anything of a definite nature as to the amount of the deficiency, or past dne and uncoil ectable paper, or any other figures touching the loss sustained by the bank. In the absence of the cashier and bookkeeper this lack of information is not difficult to understand. A director baa been quoted aa saying that $200,000 would cover the shortage.

The assets consist of a large amount of Havana and Sumatra tobacco and of outstanding notes, which, it is thought, will realize $250,000. The firm waa unable to meet some large drafts that fell due to-oar, and they were forced to assign. One of the causes of their failure was an investment in the Western tobacco crop of 1884, which turned out badly. Tbe firm waa established in 1 852, and aiwavs stood high in commercial rating.

Henry Sweet, a brick-maker at No. 1455 Milwaukee avenue, confessed Judgment yesterday for $17,025 to Louis MerkLex-smoke inspector. Deputy Sheriff Peters levied on the property. Arthur Tripp, Merki's attorney, says the con-f ession was on a note for the above amount, and that Sweet borrowed the funds for the purchase of lots and the erection of houses, which he sold on monthly payments. In the attorney's opinion he is only temporarily embarrassed.

Mr. Sweet said last night that a legal misunderstanding and not a lack of funds prompted the confession of Judgment Theodore Schnitz, his former attornev, held a mortgage on his brick yard for $17,000, and Saturday the interest amounting to $500. became due. On the advice of his attorney, Mr. Sweet refused to pay it as be baa a damage suit for $50,000 against Schintz, and intended to secure an injunction until the suit waa settled.

Mr. Sweet said he intended to amicably settle the matter to-day. BANKER DUSTIM INDICTED. LntcoLX, HI, Jaa 2a Special Telegram. William M.

"Ttttsbubo, Paaa 2a Special Telegram. The latest big 4oalHn oil is exciting interest wherever crude "wtificates are known as a speculative commodity. The case is one whors a leading stockholder in the Manufacturing Gas Company, owning the Canonsburg well, ceased the venture to be held back until a large line of oil was bought and the market put up in the nineties. Tbe time selected for this waa on Saturday, after the close of business in the East at noon, when the moguls of the metropolis would bo without an open board to save themselves from loss. At the opportune moment the well was reported a great gustier, and local brokers dumped oil by the hundred thousand barrels right and left The result was a bad break in the eighties.

To-day the operation was repeated with even more vigor, and possibly better success to the manipulator, but to the disgust of all traders who pinned faith to the shut-down movement The gentleman responsible for this deal is said to be Henry Fisher. Late this afternoon it was learned that an investigation is in progress, presumably at tbe instance of the Producers' Association, and interesting developments are looked for in the near future. The charge, if one is preferred, will be for pushing developments in the face of whatever form of agreement producers allied with tbe shut-down movement may have signed. To this Mr. Fisher may have A GOOD DETEX8B, since the well is not a new one, unless it is that the simple arilling of a venture to a deeper sand can be classed among new wells.

Alto-gether the deal waa one of the ahrewdest in years, and must have netted a small-sized mint of monev. The Oil City Derrick, referring to heavy selling by a certain broker on the Pittsburg board, without mentioning names, says: "It would be strange if he didn't get the start, and. having the start, fail to dump as much oil as the trade would take. The well upon which he sold a mere squirt belongs to tbe Manufacturers' Gas Company. The Manufacturers' Gas Company is controlled by the gentleman that the broker is supposed to represent on tbe floor.

It also had d.f-ferent men for members of the membership aud executive committees. It was headed by the nam of the Rev. F. A. Noble, Mr.

My trouble began, some years ago, aa the result of a cold which 1 00 old not get rid of. From a simple cold in tbe head it gradually sprsad until my throat and stomach were also affected. My head generally ached, and when I was free from headache I would be troubled with pains in my stomach and frequently I would be afflicted with both.

I think I must have had all the distressing symptoms ea" chronic catarrh.
