Cold Water Thrown n th Mealing to Be Held in Democratic Chicago -' , . Next Thursday. CHICAGO, July 17. Three political developments stirred the democrats in (Chicago today. One was th refusal; of Mayor Catter Harrison, on account! of it 'obscur' orfgin, to attend ant de liver en" add res of welcome at tho Auditorium free stiver meeting ci Thursday night. Tbe second was the verbal notice that lh democratic na tional committee would be asked to re pudiate the Crol.cT-H ill-Murphy ma chine in New York and organU the tilver crowd. The third was the statement that an effort would , be made to have the rule adopted that no man. who bolted Ithe Chicago plttf4n. ePgible to fit in the in IX. shall be national convention or l?M as a dele gat. -V j: :, ' ,-, Mayor Carter It Harrison today rent the following letter to the committee In- charge of the arrangements for the iemocrutl ; meeting at the Auditorium on July 2fcth: - ."Implying to your favcr of the ISih Inst., in which you ask me to deliver an address of web-ome at the Audi torium on Jdly 20th. to the national dMuocratie - tonw ltt- and a - laraw number of prominent democrat of America.

"1 cannot but Urlnk. however, it would be an absurdity to welcome these distinguished men ; under th aosi-ieies .of a self -constituted com mittee whose personnel is too obscure to bo knewn even in it home cUy.

FOUGHT BY RIVAL FACTIONS IN THE KENTUCKY HILLS. Flye Men Killed and Several WoundeJ as the Result of an Arrest An Old Feud. LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 17.A spe cial to Courier Journal, from London. Ky., tells of a report reaching there of j the outbreak of another feud in CWy county, by which Ave men lost their lives today. The dead are said to be: Robert Phil pot, Ed. Fisher, A. Aaron Morris, Jim Griffith, and Hugh Griffin. These fatalities resulted from a pitched battle fought near Little Goose creek, three miles from Man Chester. The feud date back nearly two years. On Christmas, 1897, James Phllpot waa killed by Aaron Morris, but before he died he shot and killed William Bundy, a friend of Morris. The Morrises and Griffiths axe closely af filiated. Since then the two factions have been very bitter and the enmity has been aroused recently by the White-Baker hostilities. The Phil pots, who are the strongest faction in the mountains, number about 750 voters, or enl y espoused the cause of the Bak ers, while the Griffith took sides with the Whites. The story that reaches here from Manchester is that Bob Phllpot was arrested this morning by Deputy Sher iff Wash Thacker. While very cir cumstantial In other respects the re port does not show clearly the origin of trouble nor give the reason for Phil pot's arrest.; It is said that, while Thacker was taking PhUpot's bond the latter waa shot from behind by a mem ber of the crowd that had gathered. This precipitated a general fight with Winchesters land revolver, which was participated j in by George Granville. Robert and Peter Phllpot and Ed. Fisher on one side, and Aaron Morris and Hugh, Jim and Green Griffith on the other. The battle bgan at about 9 o'clock, and continued! for 10 or 15 minutes.' When it was over, five were dead and several badly wounded. HORSES FOR OTI3.

The steamer Laura nda arrived today from bt. Michaels. No big amounts of gold dust were carried. The news brought from Cape Nome Is varied nnd conflicting. One or two men give glowing accounts, while many of the miner from Dawson, who had rpent two or three weeks at St. Michaels, say they are convinced that the accounts of rich finds are exag gerated, fcome go so far as to pro nounce it a transportation fake. S. G. Simpson, of this city, said he learned at St. Michaels that miners In the Cape Nome country were washing out as high as $0 per day. A. E.
