ALL ELSE IS CUT AD D DRY TOLEDO, Ohio, June 22—The republican fe convention began here today. It will nominate a full state ticket and indorse a candidate for United States senator. There is no cpposition to Senator Hanna for both the short and the long terms and none to the renomination of Governor Bushnell and other state officers, all of whom are running for their second terms. There is no agitation over the resolu- {fons or any of the ordinary issués at con- ventions. The contest has been from the start for the control of the state cen- tral committee, which selects the cam- paign chairman. Each of the twenty-one congressional districts was ciosely can- vassed in advance for committeemen, and both factions claimed a majority of the twenty-one members up to today. Sena- tor Foraker, Governor Bushnell and others have been untiring in their efforts to _re- tain Chairman Chas. L. Kurtz, while Sen- ater Hanna and the old following of Presi- dent MeKinley and Seerctary Sherman have supported Major Charles Dick for the place. Major Dick is now secretary of the na- committee. He was chairman of the Ohio state executive committee in both of McKinley's campaigns for governor and in dential campaign of 1892. Dick was superseded by Kurtz as chairman in Governor Bushnell’s first campaign two years ago, and the latter has held the place ever since. In addition to the factional elements rep- resented there has been a strong rivalry for years between Dick and Kurtz, and the tight between them is the distinguishing teature of this convention. It has involved all the party leaders on one side or the T, and is the most bitter contest that been waged within either party for s has years. Last Committee Meeting. The old state central committee held its last meeting this morning, but ewing to the peculiar canvass for campaign chair- man none of the contests were decided for the temporary organization of the conven- tion. Thess contests were referred back to the district meetings of the delegates this afternoon. Senator Hanna arrived from jang with a large escort shortiy after and held a ccnference with Maj. The latter presented an uliimatum from Gov. Brshnell. In this ultimatum Gov. Bushneli authorized Maj. Dick to say Senator + he (Bushnell) would decline renomina if Chairman Kurtz Was not retained the state headquarters. Han in secret confe: z ator Hanna Goy.

Annual Reunion ut Nashville Attracts ent Crowds to That City. NASHVIL! » 22.—Many spe- clal trains arrived today with ex-confeder- ate soldiers and friends, who come for the purpose of attending the annual reunion of the noted Confederate Veterans. The regu- lar trains were run on sections, in order to accommodate the very heavy demand for transporiation. Rain fell during the morzing, weather c red somewhat toward noon. The ex-confederate soldiers spent the morning in attending the reunion at the Tabernacle and meeting old comrades. V’rominent among those who were seated on the platform were Gen. Stephen D. Lee but the Dr. Thomas Menees of Nashville and Mr. J. D.C. Atk rviving members of the confederate congress: Marcus J. ‘Wright of Washington, Gen. Simon B. Buckner of | Kentucky, Col. Henry C.

The cabinet officials were unusually reticent. That Cuba and the Hawalian annexation treaty were both discussed is a fact which is not denied. The Japanese protest against the Hawaiian treaty is thought to have been the principal topic discussed. The talk over Cuba is the result of the appointment of Gen. Woodford, his carly sailing for Madrid and all the affairs sur- rounding the intentions of the President. It is not belleved by the President or cab- inet that Spain will enter any complaint against Gen. Woodford as a result cf his speech twenty-seven years ago. Referred to the President. Senator Platt of New York and Repre- sentative Sulloway of New Hampshire were callers at the White House today, and in their visits, not made together, is sald to be an exceedingly interesting story. Away up in New Hampshire, in Mr. Sulloway’s aistrict, lives a married sister of Governor Black of New York. She is an applicant for the fourth-class post office of the town in which she resides. Her husband is a democrat of the deepest- dyed hue. For this reason, along with others, Representative Sulloway opposed her appointment, representing, it is said, the sentiment of the patrons of the office. As a rule, whoever !s named by a congress- man for a fourth-class office is immediately appointed, without question. This was not the case in this instance. Senator Platt of New York appeared on the field as an ad- vocate of the sister of New York's govern- or. He and Mr. Sulloway at once locked horns. Senator Platt, it is alleged, went so far as to make the appointment of the lady a personal one. The differences grew so full of importance that it was agreed by all parties to refer the matter to the President, he to act as an arbiter. The President now has the case under consider- ation. The reference to the President ts a high compliment to the esteem in which he is held. He has nothing to do with fourth-class offices. Will Not Go to Utah July 23. The President has abandoned the hope of going to Utah on the 23d of July, but has not abandoned his intention to visit the West at the first opportunity. Some time in August he may start on a trip through the west, his main idea bsing to visit Yel- lowstone Park. Secretary Porter is re- celving invitations from all over the west for the President to stop at and become the guest of cities and towns. There were a few more than the usual number of cailers at the White House for cabinet day, and a good many of them ob- tained audiences with the President. Representative Foss of Illinois introduced Dr. Wilson of his district. Dr. Wilson wants to be consul to Ghent. Representative Prince and Mr. Deer of Illinois saw the President in behalf of Adam Lieberknecht for a German con- sulate. Senator Cullom was a caller with Prot. Langley of the Smithsonian institution, Special Commissioner Calhoun was with the President for more than thirty minutes this morning. Missions to Be Filled. The Grecian, Swedish and Denmark mis- sions and Russian embassy are the ones yet unfilled in European diplomatic posts. Denmark is said to be practically filled. So is Sweden. Russia and Greece are open for candidates to sirive for. Brutus Clay, the Kentucky man who was said to have had a chance for the Chilean mission, is now un- erstood to have shifted his’ application ard ambitions to Russia, believing he has an equal chance with other candidaes, To Attend Georgetown’s Commence- ment, The President will leave the White House arly tomorrow to attend the closing ex- ercises of Georgetown College. He will receive few, if any, callers before leaving for the institution. ‘The work of iitting up the reception room west of the vestibule has not been finished. This room has not been used as a reception room for a long time, but as the President has a good many visitors at night, it is necessary that there shall be a place where they may wait until their cards are sent in. ‘The room is*to be com- pletely changed in appearance and made as attractive as possible.

Otis Humphrey of MUlinois, to be attorney of the United States for the southern district of Illinois; Charles P, Hitch of Illinois, to be marshal of the United States for the southern district of Illinois; James M.

FIGHT OVER DUTIES ON WOOLS Contending Parties Reached an : Agreement. MR. TELLER'S STATEMENT This has been the most interesting and exciting day of the consideration of the tariff by the Senate. The struggle that has been going on under the surface was car- ried into the open Senate and considerable passion was shown in the discussion. The adoption of the rates of 10 cents on the first-class and 11 cents on the second-class wool was followed by an hour’s conten- tion, Mr. Allison tried to get the matter laid over, so that the republicans might have a chance to settle their differences in private. Vest and Teller objected. But meanwhile, under the pressure of neces- sity, caucuses were held among the con- tending republicans on the floor, and ai agreement was reached on an amendment providing that third-class wools in condi- tion to be corded, etc., or containing less than 8 per cent of dirt or othe: foreign sub- stance, shall pay a duty three times the duty on third-class wools not in so clean a condition. The offering of this amendment silenced the contention on the republican side, and shifted the fight back to the old party lines. An important disclosure during the early debate was made by Mr. Teller, who sig- nified that he was likely not to vote for the tariff bill, but that he would refrain from voting against it, so that it might be Passed in a form most acceptable to the present administration, though disapproved by himself. This takes one vote off the opposition. At the outset Mr. Mantle (Mont.) submit- ted a substitute for paragraphs 347 to 361, inclusive, covering the three classes of wool and the rates thereon. The substitute was prepared, he stated, by the Wool Growers’ Association. Its terms have been hereto- fore given. Before Mr. Mantle proceeded, Mr. Allison Stated in response to an inquiry from Mr. White (Cal.) that the committee had nu- merous amendments which would soon be ready for presentation. ‘The paragraphs were then considered as reported, being agreed to on the provisions relating to the classes of wool up to para- graph On the latter paragraph the committee amendments were struck out at the request of Mr. Allison. They referred to skirted wool, imported in 1890 and prior thereto. This brought the Senate to the rates on the three-classes of wool. On the first class the House rate was 11 cents per pound, the Senate committee rate 8 cents per pound. Mr. Allison moved to substitute 10 cents per pound. On setond-tlass wcol the House rate was 12 cents, the committee rate 9 cents. Mr. Allison ,moved to substitute 11 cents per pound. Mr. Mills (Texas) demanded a separate vote on each proposition, and the first vote was taken on Mr. Allison’s motion to make the rate 10 cents per pound on first-class wool. The motion to reduce from 11 to 10 cents prevailéd—yeas, 55; nays, 1 Messts. Butler, Carter, Clark, Foraker, Heitfeld, * McBride, Mantle, Pettigrew, Shoup, Stewart, Teller, Turner and Warren voted in the negative. The announcement of the vote was the signal for an unexpected outburst on the republican side of the chamber. eMr. Carter (Mont.) arose, and speaking deliberately and impressively, sald the vote just given disclosed a purpose to make reductions fn the rates on wool. ‘There would be a day of reckoning for such ac- tion. In view of what had been done, he asked that the consideration of the wool schedule be now suspended. This declaration, coming from a republi- can senator, caused a mild sensation, which wes but the prelude to a dramatic scene, in which Mr. Foraker (Ohio) and Mr. Allison (lowa), representing the finaaze committee, participated: Mr. Carter alluded to a “combination” to reduce rates, which, he said, would hear mcre about the matter before the agree- | ment was reached. Mr. Foraker, with great positiveness in his tones, said he had supposed there was an agreement as to the manner of dealing with this wool schedule. Unless this agree. ment was respected then, declared Mr. For. aker, vehemently, every senator must act for himself. “Every senator appears v to have acted for himself, answered Mr. Allison. “Tris senator has,” added Mr. Foraker, defiantly. He added that there was an agreement in writing, and not until he had entered the chamber today did he know of the changes which were contemplated. “And I do not propose,” concluded Mr. Foraker, with energy, “to be bound by any such action.”” Mr. Allison, still preserving his outward calm, said there was no written agreement that he knew of, and he wished to resent, in mild terms, he said, the suggestion of a combination, that had been made by the senator from Montana. The amendments now offered, he sald, were an increase on the original commit. tee rates on first and second-class wool, although a reduction from the House rates, Mr. Foraker proceeded to explain that an agreement had been made relative to certain kinds and grades of wools. Mr. Allison discussed the subject of post- ponement, and said ke was willing to pass over the edules in dispute. “I want to suggest,” he said, “that senators are not to be driven, ang that the Senate is not a good place to drive.” “And that is why I won't drive,” retorted Mr. Foraker. “Nor will I,” came in Mr. Allison, for the first time flushing and showing great feel- ‘ing. If there had not been an insinuation of a combination, he would have moved a pestponement of all paragraphs open to question, but with the Senate “thrown into a condition of excitement,” he did not pro- pose to submit to threats. “And therefore it is,” proceeded Mr. Alli- scn, passionately, “I am not to be driven by threats by anybody. We are told we are in a combination, and that the combi- nation will-not vote for the bill. I am for the bill and expect to perfect it and vote for it, and I do not wish to be charged, as a member of the finance committee, directly or indirectly, with dealing with this ques- tion in a covert way.” Mr. Foraker had remained on his feet, and with biting scorn he replied to Mr. Allison: “If anybody is excited,” he said, sarcasti¢ally, “we have only to look about the chamber and see who the excited per- sons are.” He proceeded to show that en- tirely new features had been proposed on the wool schedule which senators had not had an%opportunity to examine. Mr. Quay.(Pa.) came in to inquire as to what the agreement was to which Mr. For- aker had referred. The Ohio senator said the agreement was informal, byt Mr. Quay was informed as to it, having been invited to attend a meet- ing, when senators considered what could be dong toward an agreement on certain featured of the wool schedule. Subsequent- ly the* its of this meeting had been laid before the finance committee; “In fact, you were present and a to the agreement,” said Mr. blandly, to ae Quay. The Pennsvivania senator sat down and.| shook his head. Mr. Platt {Conn.), who, with Mr. Allison, shares in the managemont of the bill, here arese and declared that the finance com- mittee had never heard of this proposition. “I suggest that the senator did hear of it,” insisted Mr. Foraker, “and he may have forgotten it. I carried it to the com- mittee room, and the senator himself @iatt) wrote it down with a biue pencil in his copy of the tariff bill. The senator from Iowa (Mr. Allison) also wrote it in his copy.’ ‘There was laughter at the circumstantial detail of Mr. Foraker’s statement. He added that some twenty senators were present at the time, and every item of the agreement was gone over and written down in the bills of Mr. Alli- son and Mr. Platt. Thus reminded, Mr. Platt said he would modity his statement. There was a meet- ing at which certain suggestions were sented as to what wes wanted, but Were not axsented to. Mr. Foraker asserted that Mr. Allison had party Foraker, ) Said that im ease specific rates were placed on ttt wool the duties on scoured wools would be tripled. Mr. Foraker ferred in general terms to the agreement until asked by Mr. Bur rows to specify the agreement. Then Mr. Foraker said: “‘We understood that if third-class wools were given a Specific duty, then the scoured third-class Wools shoul@ have the triple duty just as first and second-class wools have & triple duty. We did not suppose there was auy dissent from that. Everybody acquiested in it who was consulted in regard to it, and our zgreement was made with that distinct understanding. Now for the first time we are notified there is objection to it.” Mr. Hale (Me.) now entered the debate as a peacemaker. He suggested that the sen- ators were not so very far apart and per- haps with a little time all differences could be adjusted and united action secured. This app2ared to meet with general ap- broval, and Mr. Carter thereupon asked that paragraphs 370 to 376, inclusive, cov- ering carpet wools, go over. Mr. Allison assented, and it seemed as though the storm had passed. But, for the first time, a voice was heard from the democratic side, and Mr. Vest, smiling grimly, arose and sald sententiously: “f object.” Attention was now directed to the Mis- souri senator, who spoke in ironical tones ard referred to the differences between the republican leaders. Mr. Teller of Colorado followed Mr. Vest panoppos! Hon to any postponement of the Mr. Mason asked Mr. Teller if he did not know that passing over any one para- graph or schedule would not delay the final consideration of the bill. Mr. Teller replied sharply that he “‘as- sumed nothing of the kind,” and that Mr. Mason could not put words into his mouth. As for himself, Mr. Teller said, he was anxious to see the bill pass. He did not propose to vote for it unless certain cb- jectionable elements were eliminated from it. His desire was that the test whether the bill was to secure the prosperity pre- dicted should ke made at en early date. For this reason he desired that the Dill should become a law in the precise shape favored by the administraticn in order th: there might be no mistake as to the effi- cacy of the remedy proposed for the de- Pressed condition of the country’s business effairs. Hence te would not interfere in any way to influerce the result. Mr. Allison then offered an amendment, which required scoured wool of the third class to pay three times the duty of un- scoured wool of that class. Mr. Allison stated that the amendment was made to meet the objection raised by serators on the floor of the Senate today. A debate followed, which was largel technical in character, relating to the effect of scouring a- compared to washing, the shrinkage entailed, etc., in which Messrs. Gray, Warren, Mantle, Stewart, and Jones of Arkansas participated. —— 2 -—____ POLICY SHOP RAIDED. Capture by the Police Today of Im- portant Mater: Between 11 and 12 o'clock this forenoon the police raided the house of Price I. Stewart, colored, in Jackson Hall alle: < only about two squares from police head- quarters, and turned up a full-fledged pol- {cy shop, as well as evidence that all kinds of gambling games had been carried on there. The paraphernalia of the policy game included a Printing press, books, drawings and slips of all kinds that are used In the game. Price, it is alleged, was the backer of the game, and while all the runners had not made their returns for the day, there was evidence enough found to convince the police that he had been mak- ing some big bcoks. Drawings found in the house indicated that the shop has been in operation for several months at least, for some of them were dated as far back as October. For several weeks the police have suspected something wrong in con- nection with the house, and this moraing Precinct Detective Hartigan and Policy Detective Watscn led the raiding party. Sergt. Falvey and Policemen Kimmel, Brady, Schultz and McNamee were with them. When the officers called at the house Stewart was taken completely by surprise, but he made no effort to escape. The war- rant was read to him and the officers took charge of his effects, which they are hold- ing as evidence. In addition to the complete policy outfit, the officers found crap dice and a crap cloth, poker dice and about two dozen packs of cards. Among his effects the officers found a number of printed ad- vertisements. The drawings, the police claim,were made in the house that was raided, and were not obtained from policy headquarters in Ken- tucky or some other state. A cigar box found in the shop contained a number of square blocks on which were printed num- bers, and these, it is alleged, were used in making the drawings instead of using a wheel. Price says that his business was in no way connected with the shops at Jack- son City or Rosslyn. It is expected that Price will give bond this afternoon for his appearance in court tomorrow.

The body of George Donaldson, the Plesterer who died last evening at the Emergency Hospital from the effects of a fall a few hours before from the third story to the basement of a building in which he was working, in Mount Pleasant, -wvill, it is expected, be removed this afternoon to the morgue to await interment. Deputy Coroner Glazebrook, who investi- gated the circumstances of the accident, said today that he thought Donaldson must have been attacked with vertigo and fell, as stated. It is regarded as rather remarka- ble that, although he had been in the em- ploy of Barr & Sanner for a number of yeara, they were not aware whether or not he had a family, but this is explained to some extent by reason of the. fact that Donaldson was of a retiring disposition, and did not have much to say about him- self. A man who said he was a friend of the deceased called this morning at the Emergency Hospital to make inquiries con- cerning Donaldson, but made no arrange- ments as to a funera,l nor did he even leave his name. ——.___ Sir Julian to Sail Tomorrow. Sir Jullan Pauncefote, the British am- bassador, called at the State Department today to say’ Bood-bye to Secretary Sher- man prior to his departure for England to- morrow on a four months’ vacation. ———_——_-2-_.____ “Want” ads. ‘n The Star pay because they bring answers.

Barringer of t Columbus, pares, A Southerners Easy Mann: of Mak- ing a Di est Livelihood, The drummer for a Boston shoe firm had Just kot into Washington from a trip through the mountain country of the south, where Boston is prized more for its con- tributions to the feet than it is for con- tributions to the head, rough Boston her- self is not as proud ef her shoes as xhe is ot her brains. “Certainly,” he was saying to the hotel clerk after he had signed the pledge two or three es and had had dinner, “I saw strenge things in that strange coun- try, but the strangest was a mountain con- 1 fidence man, pose you would call ree of a detective on a ing off into the moun- on his w: to be hand- tains, and was the ed over to a depnt Who was waiting for him, fi the road. 2 “I noticed his handcuffs and his air of dejection and wondering what he could have been doing I had an interview with the detective. From him I learned that the man, a young one of twenty-one, perhap had been bunsoing the green yaps in va- rious cities, and when the detective told me oz it that Way and I showed my surprise the prisoner's face lost its sha: for a moment and gleaned with pleasure and pride. Further explanation developed the fact that this young man had been doing a thriving business by ordering goods from various firms in the cities to names of firms, and when the goods were received he would notify the shippers that the con- signees had failed or gone ou: of business or were no good and ask instructions. As a rule he was requested to dispose of the goods to the best advantage, which he did, pocketing the funds thus secured and send- ing orders for mere goods from other firma to be shipped to other points. Of course, he didn't get a sucker every time he threw in his hook, but he caught enough to make him a good deal more money than he could have earned at the usval mountain wages, besides the pleasure of beating the city people in such an easy game. “It's an ill wind that blo‘ no good, and the mountain people were really sorry to see the man arrested, because every now and then he would make a deal by which he got enough goods to start a small store, and the prices he accepted for his stock were such that the poorer people looked upon him as a public benefactor. When he put up a sign: ‘Goods at half price,’ it meant that, and even more, for he would sell for anything he could get, and forth- with skip with the proceeds.” ae een TO HARNESS THE NILE. The Power to Be Applied to Rafiroad- ing, Irrigation d@ Agriculture, Following the lead of the United States in grasping from some of its waterways the energy that might be put to the serv- ice of max, the Anglo-Egyptians have lat- terly resolved upon a close survey of the middle waters of the Nile with a view of utilizing them in a manner similar to that which contemplates converting the Niagara largely into a storehouse of power. For 4.000 years and more the life of Egypt has been the life of the river Nile, the flowing fountains of which were alone capable of giving vitclity to a region which without them would have been a dreary and in- hospitable waste; indeed, even with the waters that ore at tires so lavishly thrown to them, the land is still far from being the happlest of the globe, or too prolific in the yield of natcre’s bountiful stores. The por- tion of the “father of waters” which it is row conten plated to turn to motive power is that of the rapids, erroneously termed the “cataracts,” and Mr. George Forbes has been intrusted by the department of to attend the undertaking. The force obtainable at the “first cataract” is estimated at 35,000 horse power at low water, and at horse power at the time of flood. The ob- tainable power, to be transmitted electri- cally, will be applied to ratiroading, to the ed and driving of and to
