Louisville, Ky., Jane 24— On the eve of the Democrat c State Oouveation only one thing can be predicted with any degree of probability and that is the platform will declare fora gold standard. The race is very close between Hard n and Ciay for the gubernatorial n -mina tion with the chances slightly in favor of the latter Most of the instructed delegation are instructed for Hardin But ihe majority of the delegation are unins’, meted aud in these Clay s rapidly gaiuiLg ground Should Hardin be nominated, he will stand committed to a gold platform, though running as the candidate of the free silver raeii. This will effectually spoil any chances that Joe 0 Blackburn may have had for the Se atorship, as he is wedded to the 16 to 1 idea. Unle s Hardiu is nominated on a free silver plats rm, which at present seems quite unlikely, the Kentuckian who has for so many years i©presented the people as Sena? r from the Ashland 1 dis trict will have to give way to a mau who waves aloft the yellow flag. This man wil, in aii probability be Mc- Creary, who i- a gold mau, but withal a conservative one He enuorsts tiie Democratic platform of 1892 Wi.ich is in name a m metallist didarati >r-., but in reality if carried ou’. would mean gold monometallism. Clay will have the sup port of nearly all of toe gold men, who come to the cinvei.tion unhamperel by instructions. There is a’ways a chance that some mau of great popularity, like ex-Gov ernor Buexner. for instance, who started a convention of this character, but in this case such a possibility is too remote to be seriously considered. This after noon a railroad commissioner from the second district will be nominated by a sp:cial convention and the strength of the gdd and silver men in to morrow’s gubern torial convention may be Brought our by a test voe. It ; 3 said the platform will endorse CicV- lani ar.d Carii-le, but there is eer tain to Ire a lively fight should the at tempi to do this be made. The conven tion will be called to morrow morning at Music Hill. It will certainly last two days and may be three days. The committee on resolutions will con sist of one member from each of the eleven Congressional districts and two members-at large, appointed by the chairman of the convention. For this reason there is more contest than ever for the temporary ergauization. Con gressman W. J. Stone aud Albert S. Berry are most prominently mentioned for chairman, but neither the Clay nor the Hardin men will name their favor ites for chairman. Blackburn and Mc- Creary are both candidates for the place. Carlisle's private secretary and ap apointment clerk are here, and they were followed from Washington by ex Congressman Phil H. Thompson, who is enthusiastic for Senator Black burn for chairman of the commit tee on resolutions. Aside from the silver issue there is a bitter fight between the friends of Secretary Car lisle and Senator Blackburn, in which Senator Lindsay, Buckner, McCreary, and other leaders are with Carlisle, while Gov. Brown, ex-Gov. Knott, and others are with Blackburn. Tne temporary organs .ticn will indicate whether Clay orHudin controls the convention. The meo-biis of the committee will be selec ted a - the delegation m -etir.gs Tuesday at 10 a rt. and reported to the con vention at 2 p m Leu. Btickii*-r .Votu « andidat*-.

June 24 —President Spen cer says: Plans have been prepared for the new union station at Atlanta and will soon be submitted to the city au thorities and the railway companies cen tering there.

Reee'.v r Thomas, of the Atlanta and Fiords line, la’ely purchased by the Bombers Railway, sajs: ‘‘l do not think there is anything in the talk of extend ing tb‘ <oad to a conn* orion wi h the Georgia 8 utheru and Florida.

The Boats oF Both Cornell ami Penn sylvania Were Swamp d. Poughkeepsie, N. Y. June 24.—Al most in the face of a sfiffish wind and in water so rough that the boats of her two opponents filled andjswamped, one before and the other after the finish line was passed, Columbia rowed steadily on to victory this evening in the fast time of 21 minutes aud 46 2 5 seconds. Pennsy lvania’s evil luck lasted to the end. The boat went down over a mile from the finish. The Cornell boat was swamped just below ner own boat house after the race wa3 over by swells from the steam boats, and was fairly broken in two. To day’s race, like Friday’s fiasco, was started under threating skies, which gave forth torrents of rain from time to time. Rain began at 5 o’clock and lasted half an hour, nearly breaking up the race, but after it ceased the prepara tions were completed and at 6.54 the starting shot was fired and the boa's got off on the instant on even terms. At the half mile Pennsylvania led by a quarter of a length, while the bow ot Cornell’s boat was a foot in adva* ce of Columbia’s. Then the shells began to strike rougher water thau they fouisd at tie s a t. The first mile was made in 5 minutes 11 seconds. Columbia had a good half length the best of it, and Cornell led Pennsylvania by six feet At the mile and a half point Cornell was showing sigm of weakn. ss. At the mile and three quarters, there was clear water between the boats of the blue and white and rei and white, while the red and blue of Pennsylvania was half a length to the rear. At the two mle mark Columbia had a lead of two lengths. Cornell was sp’ashing badly. The two miles were made in 10:32. quick time considering the water, which was grow ing rougher every minute. At ehe three mile point it was Colum bia’s race, barring accidents. Her bo t lead by four lenths. Cornell was pull ing gamely on,bat the Pennsylvania boat was getting deeper and deeper in the water, aud just after passing under the bridge the crewstopped rowing. The men were sitting on water and their boat was sinking. Their launch, which had noi iced their condition some time previously aud bad kept close to the crew, was quickly alongside and took the men aboard. It wns 7:25 when CJumbia’s crossed the line. They had made the four miles in 21 nrnu’es and 25 seconds, beating Cornell Bcv_a lengths. Cornell’s time wa- 81 minutes, 48 2 6 se onds HASH <* WILL FIGHT QUAY. The Ex-Governor will Try to Beat the Senator for P;e*iding Officer. Philadelphia, Pa , June 24.—The Evening Telegram this afternoon says: “It is authoritatively announced that Governor Daniel H. Hastings has taken up the gauge of battle thrown down by Senator Quay and will enter personally into the campaign for the State conven tion with the avowed purpose of be c mi eg ila presiding effi .er and of de feat'! rg Senator Quay’s aspirations for the State chairmanship. The decision was arrived at at ac nfer cnee just ended of the anti-Quay leaders and was regarded as the best means of meeting Quay’s antagonism to the State administration, and ot curbing his power to secure control of the coming conven tion.” ON TKI k I> FOR MANSLAUGHTER.

FALL OF THE CABINET RESIGNATION FOLLOWS THE DEFEAT OF THE LIBER AL PARTY. TORIES WILL ASSUME CONTROL. Lord Salisbury has Been Invited by the Queen to Form a New Cabinet lie Will Take Charge Only on Cer tain Conditions—The Announcement of the Resignation in the two Houses —Conference Between Lord Rose bery aud Mr. Gladstone. London, June 24.—The House of Commons was crowded with members and visitors at the opening of to-day’s sitting. Upon the appearance of Hon H. Campbell-Bannerman, Secretary of State for War, the Liberals gave him an ovation rising to their feet and cheering, waving their hats, etc. The Irish mem bers sat silent. The Peers’ gallery w’as filled with members of the Upper House. Sir William Ilarcourt made a brief statement, saying that as the adverse vote on Friday was in effect a vote of want of confidence in the Secretary of State for War, with whom the Govern rnent has associated themselves, they had therefore placed their resignations in the hands of the Queen, who had ac cepted them Mr. Balfour expressed iegret that the government had not dissolved parlia ment, instead of resigning. Referring to Campbell Bannerrnan, Sir William said he would take it upon himself to say that no abler, more respected or popular man (cheers from both sides) had ever filled the office. The course of the opposition, he de clared, had disabled the War Minister from proceeding with the army esti mates, and had made it impossible for the government to obtain votes of sup ply absolutely necessary to the service of the country. The government, he said, would hold office until their suc cessors had been appointed and he, therefore, would move that the House adjourn; but it was indispensable before this was done that the Behring Sea bill be parsed in order that it might receive the Royal assent. In quitting office Sir William said he relinquished a post which he had al ways regarded as a great responsibility, as carrying with it higher obligations than that of any other position under the crown, and he fad always desired, unequal to the task as he felt him self (cries of “No, No”) to maintain the ancient dignity of this famous As sembly in the performance of tho duties of that arduous office. Un der circumstances of no ordinary dif ficulty, he had great assistance, and he desired to tender to the gentlemen with whom he had had the honor of acting his grateful thanks for their constant and m.faffing support He also desired to acknowledge the courtesy w'hich had in variably been shown to him by his politi cal opponents, and if it were not regard ed as too presumptuous in him to adopt the words of hispredec* ssor he would say that for every man who had taken part in the noble conflicts of parliamentary life the chiefeat of all his ambitious had been to stand all right with the hou .e. Mr Balfour said that everybody in the House had heard with sympthy and emotions the touching words with which Sir William had concluded. All must feel, he said, in a,retrospect of the labors of the chancellor of the exchequer that the w irk ne had done in the House had not been in vain. Mr. Balfour then ap peal* d to the members of the opposition for au exprtsffon of their sympathy with •vhat he had said. Whatever rhey might think of the pol cy which had been pur sue] by the government, a!i of their po litical opponents recognized the chan cel Ur of the exchequer as one of the greatest oruameuts of the House and one who ever kept the dignity of the assem bly in view. While he. Balfour, recoguiz-d the fact hat the members of the government were the best judges of the question whether to continue to be responsible for the conduct of public affairs, he thought himself, that the proper constitutional course to adopt, would have been to dis solve Parliament. Fora government iu the position of the present one to resign it was practical iy equivalent a de termination on the.r part to put the burden of office upon the opposition. It was not in accordance with the best tra riit’ons of the Hou e. At tin conclusion of the remarks of Mr Balfour the Bering Sea bill passed its third reading. Doctor Tanner, mem ber for Mid Cork, alone objecting, on the ground tha lie would object to the passage of any bill by the House while the Irish land bill was dormant The House then adjourned until to morrow. In the House of Lords. In the House of Lords, Lord Rosebery said that after the vote in the House of Commons on Friday practically censur ing Mr. H Campbell Bannerrnan, Secre tary of Btate for War. upon the question of national defense, after he had fore sha owed the government’s great scheme of military reorganization, the ministry felt it to be their duty to resign. They would therefore hold office only until their successors were appointed The House then adjourned, after pass ing the Bering Bea bill. Will Accept on Certain Conditions. The representative of the United Press in lioudon learns that Lord Salis bury will accept the Premiership only on condition that the Liberal leaders agree not to oppose his government’s getting the necessary estimates before the dissolution of Parliament, and also that no member of the cabinet which he forms shall be opposed for ie-election upon taking office. Lord Rosebery upon consultation with his colleagues found that several of them were uuwill ing to make these concessions, but ne gotiations are in progress which it is he lieved will tend to an agreement on the part of the Liberals. The Central News issues a bulletin stating that it is difficult, to obtain offi cial information as to what took place between the Queen ar.d Lord Salisbury at Windsor this afternoon but there is reason to believe that Lord Salisbury de clined to form a ministry and recom mended the immediate dissolution of Parliament. Mr. Gladstone aud Lord Rosebery. Immediately on his arrival in London yesterday from the cruise he had been making to Kiel and elsewhere, Mr. Glad stone communicated with Lord Rose bery aud accepted the latter’s invita tion to dine with him in Owning street. During the evening Mr. Herbert Asquith, the Home Secretary, was summoned to a conference. Mr. Gladstone remained with Lord Rosebery until after 11 o’clock, breaking his physician’s orders and his own rules. He then walked with Lord Twedmouth, 1/jrd Privy Seal, to the residence of Lord Rendel, in Carlon Gardens, where he is staying. The political clubs were thronged until the small hours with members and their friends discussing the situation. Lord Rosebery’s Record Earl Rosebery was offered the office of prime minister by the Queen on March 3, 1894, Mr Gladstone having offered his resignation on account of his failing eye sight. Lord Rosebery had occupied the position of foreign secretary in Mr. Gladstone’s cabinet and had been promi nently considered for ten years past as the probable successor to Mr. Gladstone in the leadership of the Liberal party when the time for the retirement of that gentle man should come. About the only ob jection urged against his appointment as premier was that the leader of the party should be a member of the House < f Commons, and that the party cannot be managed from the House of Lord’. Lord Rosebery upon assuming the pre miership took the p ace of first lord of the treasury in the cabinet aud cal'e the Earl of Kimberley to succeed himself as foreign secretary. The leadership in the House of Commons was intrusted to Sir William Vernon Har court, who retained his place in the cab inet as chancellor of the exchequer, 'ihe retirement of Mr. Gladstone was consid ered a severe strain upon the govern ment, and many persons looked foT the defeat of the Liberals aud the resigna tion of the cabinet at that time. On March 12, 1894, Prime Miuister Rose bery defined his policy to a great meet ing of Liberal leaders in London “The policy of Home Rule,” he said, “will not be less definitely pursued.” Declared Against the Lords. In regard to the House of Lords he said: “ The conviction has long been forcing itself upon me that with the democratic suffrage which we now enjoy a second chamber, constituted like the House of Lords, is an anomaly.” This declaration aroused hopes on the part of the Radicals that the Rosebery govern ment would offer measures for the aboli tion of the House of Lords. Ifs failure to do so awakened much dissatisfaction in cer tain quarters. The other measures which had been undertaken by the Gladstone ministry, Lord Rosebery said, the government would continue to push forward. The course of the new govern ment on the subject of Home Rule was by no means satisfactory to the Irish mem bers of Parliament, and their support of the government on many measures ever since has been grudgingly given. The The Scotch members, also, were many of them dissatisfied with the attitude of the government toward Scotch measures. The Irish members were estranged by the propo sal of the government to erect a statute of Oliver Cromwell at Westminster The failure of the government has been considered inevitable for over a year, and it has only been a question whether it should come ifi a dissolution < f Parliament and an appeal to the country, or in resignation, as has proved ihe case.
