C., June 25.—The execu- tive committee of the Bimotallist league was in session and resolved that, baving failed at Minneapolis and Chicago to secure an explicit deelaration in favor of free bi- metallic colns, they recommead that several men go to Umaha and urge the adoption there of such a platform, aud the nomination of such candidates as the silver men can support.

Lavor unions of New Yori city would con- tribute half the fund 1f necossary. Denver Republican: No matter who may be selected by the Omaba convention as the third varty candidate for president, he will not carry & STUEie northern state, and even if bo should carry every state in the south it will have no effect on the presidential ele tion.

The veople’s party demagogues would be im- mensely pleased to take the judge in their net, but Judge Gresham isn’t built that way, He'has a sound judicial mind in a sound boay, and he has no sympathy for the crank- ism iu any of 1ts manifold forms. Chicago Herald (dem): Should the people’s or farmers; slliance party now avont to assemble in_convention at Omaha nominate such a man as Walter Q. Gresham as a canditate for the presidency’ and adopt a rational piatform, some interesting results might bo looked for. Gresham would be an exceptionally stroug candidate, who in spite of platform vagaries would certainly win some electoral votes, enough douvtiess to defeat bot Cleveland ana Harrison in the electoral colleges. Neither of these prota- gonists has any electoral votes to spare,and a few gained from each would throw the clection into the house of representatives, Once there, Harrison, of course, would stand 1o show, but Gresham mighz. Of the for four states represented by congressional delegations, the democrats have thirty, toe republicans ten, and the farmers alliance four. But the farmers alliance is ver strong in a largo number of the democratic states, as it is also in cortain of the repub- lican stute Chicago Trioune (ren.) : The ncople's party hold their nationat convention 1 Omaha in o few days and the leaders are boasting loudly of what they are going to do and how they will cut and slash the vwo old parties to pieces.

OMAHA, WEDNESDAY MORNING HAVE NUMEROUS CANDIDATES Prohibitionists Are Not Looking for Pres- idential Timber, MANY ANXIOUS FOR THE NOMINATION All 1s Not Pleasant Among the Delegntes Assembled at Cincinnati—Indin ite- publicans Meet in State Convention s Political Pointers, —Vario CixciNNaty, O, June 23.—All the neces- sary preparations have been made and a% 10 o'clock tomorrow morning the sixth annual couvention of the prohibition party will be- gln its session in the big Music hall in which Hancock was nominated. The vconvention, unless an effort, not now very promising, to patch differences eand @gree on a new man shall be successful, will have a fight on hand for the honor of being the presi- dential nomnee of the party, astate of things which isa novelty to the cold water advo- ocates. Tue fight is throwing an air of a real political convention over the procecdings and what, with lithographs and badges of the two rival caudidates, campaign head- quarters, charzes and counter charges sad niglit couferences, an outsider may sdatch something of the spirit which pervades more important political conventions, Leadlng Candidates. Genoral Bidwell of California and Mr. W. Jonnings Demorest of New York are the leadine competitors for the nomination and their supporters aro becoming excited over the matter. Mr. Bascom, a well knowa business man of Troy, N. Y., is the ebony equine most mentioned as the best nominee in the ovent of both Biawell and Demorest being ruled off. Whilo talk of a compromise is heard, neither General Bidwell's nor Mr. Demorest’s friends look on it with favor, and many aele- gates think the matter has gone so far that it must be fought ont. General Bid- well's friends claim his election on the first baliot and ridicule the Demorest claims as baseless. General Bidwell has strong east- ern supportersin New York and Peunsyl- vania, most of the leaders are for him. and ex-Governor St. John, who could probably get the nomination it 'he would take 1t, is working hard for Bidwell and will place bim 0 nomination. Chairman Dickie of the na- tional committee, Miss Willard, Mrs. Gougar, A. A. Stevens of Peonsylvania, Dr. Funk and others, are supporting Bidwell also. Demorest's Strength, The Demorest supvorters arrived in larger numbers today and it is evident that he has a cousigerable following, though haudi- capped by lack of support 1n his own state. Heis exbected to stand well in the south, and perhape in some of the western states. Colonel R. 8. Chevis, Rev. Sam Small, Prof. Grandison of Norih Carolina, John Lloyd Thomas, secretary of the national committeo, and Heary B. Hudson, of the “Blue and the Gray,” aro his principal advocates. The first ‘thres named will, it is understood, make the nomination and seconding speeches for Demorest, Gidoou T. Stewart of Ohio, will probably be put in nomination and the prohibition presidential nomination being itsell largely of a complimentary nature, thero is no teli- ing how many persons will receive informal ballots. "Tonight caucuses of the two leaders wore neld to arrango for the proper conduct of the two booms. The Demorest men ure making much of the strong senliment against fusion with the people's party, and one charge they mako against Bidwell is that beis inclined to withdraw il Weaver is nom- inutea. They have out lithographs of De; orest, inscribed: *No Compromises. No Fusion. No Deals.” The Biawell men retort that the Demorest campaign largely rests on financial coutributions, The prohi- bition newspaper organs are coming in for a share of denunciation and the Demorest fol- lowers and some others assail it vehemently aad chargo that Demorest’s lack of support in New Youk state is due to machine meth- ods to which the Voice is a party. d to Oppo The opposition to fusion with tho people party is very marked, and Miss Willavd was tonight apparently alinost alone in advocacy ofit. The leaders of both the Bidwell ana Demorest factions, at least on tne surfac: seem united in_antagonism to this propos ition, The people’s party is not condemned, but the disposition is strong in favor of tho prohibitionists keepng up their own_organ- ization aud presidential candidates in this cawmpaign, at least, and their feeling will find an exprossion in ‘the platform if the more radical have their way Ex-Goveruor Johin P. St. Jonn of Kansas, not 50 long agoa presidential nomineo him- self on the prohibition ticket, will b in the chair tomorrow at the first Session of the convention that is to chose the party’s na- tional candidates for 1592, That was sottled usion, efore the adjournment of an important meeting of tho prohibition national com- mittee, A. F. Wolfenbarger of Nebraska will be the secretary of the convention. The choice of u Nebraskan for the houor was revarded as au olive branch to the people’s party, em- phasiziug the 1tention of the prohibitionists tout least ielp in wresting Nebraska, this year if possible, from tho grasp of the two older parties—this, too, whether a fusion of the people's party nd the prohibitionists be attempted not. A. A. Stevens of Penusylvania or £’rof. Dickie will probably be permanent chair- man. A. . Wilson of Illinois, J. A. Tate of Ten- nessco and E. [ Stevens, the base bal! edi- tor of the Moston Horald, were chosen for assisiant secretaries, aud B, T Chatin of Wisconsin for sergeantat-arms at the na- tional committee meetiug, Exchange of Personalitic Thore was o lively exchange of person- alities at the committee meetivg over the adoption of the treasurer's report. Sam Swall said certain names occurred 00 often as having been employed by Chairman Dickie for prouibition work. Ho charac- terized them as “hangers on," without other means of support, and asserted that their employment was in violation of the spirit of a rosolution offered by him and adopted in Pictsburg. B. T. Chafin of Wisconsin scored Rev. Mr. Small, ana mincing 1o words said thut gen- tleman’s resolution was *'an 1diotic perform- ance. After the resolution had been adopted without division Chairman Dickio spoke, de- claring the resolution had not been violited, a3 1t was understood when passed, and spoke of tho resolution as a **tomfool one. Mr. Small, in & personal _explanation, got an opportunity 10 reply and sailed nto Me. Dickie for a fows minutes. Waiter Hill of Goorgia, Joshua Levering of Maryland, Colonel Bain of Kentucky, Jonn W. Russell of Dotroit and A. A. Stevens of Pennsylvania have beon suggested as good vice presidential timber: Miss Willard's Ldew, Miss Frances Willurd’s idea is that the prohibitiou party orgavization should, how- ever, in any event, remain intact, and the campaigo be fougliton probubition lines, while the people's party organization should con- duet the battle” from their side on the industrial 1ssues, the common ond in view making both organizations harmonious. Miss Willard admitted good bumoredly thut the plan had aiready met vibleat opposition and ‘was likely 10 encounter more, wilh scant eu- couragement as o ultimate success Sho said, with a tinge of surcasm, that she nad already been assailed as & *prohibition mugwump.” Miss Willard intimated that sbe was rather proud than otherwise of the opitbet, and sbe would not be stopped by such methods. - One incident of the day showed that the probibitionists are politicians and wunt pledges Llike otber | thelr votes. Mra, ugar seut 8 telegram asking General Blawallif: ho would with- draw in favor of We the people’s party man. Tho roply recoived today said: “Not ualess so instructed by Chairman Dickie, Mr. St. John, Dr. Funk, Miss Willard and yourself,” This answer was satisfactory, as the two first named are especiully hostile to fusion, but straightway a resolution, to makea with- drawal impossible, will be proposed, giving the national committee authority to fill a vacancy on the ticket caused by death, resig- natien or other cause. Helen Gougar Talks. The anti-fusion sentiment is very strong. Mrs. Gougar said: ‘‘Fusion with the peo- ple’'s party would be fully &s unwise as fusion with either of tho two old parties. The people's party is on record as a whisky party quite as much as the democrats or re- publicans. Even 1f the peopic's party adopted prohibition and woman suffrage, it would be unwise, for their financial policy would drive level beaded financiers from our ranks. Their interestin the ‘subtreasury’ schemo would close nearly every colioge i1 the country and the collezo is a large part of our strength, Ob, ¥es, we aro just like the republicans and demoorats on silvor—no ono can tell how one is on silver because he or she 1s in tha prohibition party.” Rev. Sam Small s ureing Walter B. Hill of Georgin as a vice presidential condidate, “with whom to meet the psople's party, which will nomipate Tom Watson for vice president, on their own dung bill.” Mr. Hill Is vice president of the Amorican Bar as- sociation, an able lawyer and spoaker, and was forinerly a democrat. Gcorgia, Mr. Small says, wants neither Bidwell nor Dom- orest, but is for the lattor as awainst the formor. The prohibition party, ho says, will not be bossed any moro than the old parties, und he doesn’t care if Demorest has not his own state, as it is a factional affair. The Maryland delegation has a vice president in Josian Levering and a half dozen other states also have men for the place. Drew the Color Line, The color line has been the cause of con- siderable excitement. Rev. C. M. Grandi- son, D.D., presideut of Bennett college, Greensboro. N. C,, is one of a dozeu or more colored members of the convention who huve been sent here from verious southern states. He is a man of burly, figure and a thorough believer in muscular Christianity. At the Gibson house he hed no more difculty in registering than the white delegates from his state, but when it came to getting meals he was refused attendance luless he retired from n room separated from the main dining hall. This alternative be resolutely declined, and he was left without food for an hour until practically all the other guests baa vacated the place, The chairman ol the North Carolina delegation declared that if necessary the members, about twenty in number and all Caucasians except Grandi- son, woild remove to sgme other hotel. The Virgiuia, Georgia ln{ other colored dele- gates avoided troubie by separating from the whites on arrival at the station aua going to boarding houses of which the proprietors were colored people.

Vest's Remarks on the Tarlr, During Mr, Vest's speech cn the McKinley bill he alluded to the existing labor troudles at Carnegie’'s Homestead Iron works, near Piusburg. And yet, he said, that gentle- mau_(Carnegic) had telegraphed from his castle in Scotland congratulations to Presi- dent Harrison on his renomination; had ar- raved his police and armed and equipped them to put down his own lavorers and workmen and had sur rounded bis establishment with an eleven foo wall. For what purposesi io protect himself against the people of the United States under his iniquitous systom, and now the newspapers of the country (Vest said) were full of rumors of war be- tween Carnegie's company and its own la- borers, “the recipients of bounty of which the senator from Maine had spoken so eloguently today.” No wonder Mr. Carnegie had congratulated President Harrison on his renomination. He was the recipieat of tho benefits of that system. He was glad that the republicau party had placed at the head of its national committee ‘‘another of the sama brood of politiciune.’ “I kuow,” continued Vest, “he is the man who aavised Armour to defy the senate of the United States and refuse to oboy its subpeenas, This man is nothing but & tool of monopoly. He was the ablest and most pliant instrument in the hands of Armour aud bis company in order to rob the reople, and especially the oattle raisers of the west.

Mr. Vest—I asked the senator categoric- ally whether he charges that Mr. Whitney as uny connection whatover with the tandard Oil company. Mr. Hale—I do not make any charge against Mr. Whitney. Mr. Vest—Then 1t is utterly untair and unparhamentary to make any insiuuation in which @ senator is unwilling to put in so many words. I denyit. I deny it, on Mr. Whitney’s own statement.

Varranaiso, Chiti, (via Galveston, Tex.), June 25.—|By Mexican Cavle to the New Yeik Horald—Speciul to Tk Bee.]—News telegraphed today by the Herald correspond- ent at Moatevideo coufirms the story of the bombardment of Porto Allegro, Brazil, by the government gunboat Marajo. Details, which came by way of Gaguaron, are mea- ger, but enough s knowa to make it certain that tho fizhting was terrific_and that the loss of life was very heavy. Many of the buildings in Porto Allegro were badly dam- aged and shipping in the harbor was do- stroyed. ‘The city was not captured, howe was at first veported. The federal artillery made so vigorous a detense of the city that the gunboat was forced to withdraw and leave the town in the possession of the revolutionists, Their success in drivis away the gunboat, which was expected to destroy the town or to force the federals to surrender, has greatly incensed the govern meat of Brazil. Captain Candido des Santos Lara, who commands the Marajo, is severely criticized by the authorities for failing to take the city. It is declared that his retreat was pot justified, and that only cowardice or sympathy with the rebeiy preventea him from being siccessful 1o the attack. A council of war has beeu called to try Captain Lara for sedition, General Savares intends to attack Porto Allegre ns soon as possible, aud is assom- bling troops for that purpose.

FOSTER T0 SUCCEED BLAINE He Will be Appointad for the Remaiuder of the Term. TRACY WAS BOOKED FOR THE POSITION After M the Pre Declded Toat the Seoretary of th Could Not bo Convenlently Sy That I Deliberation fre WaASHINGTON BURE U OF 513 Founr Wasmixeros, D. C., June At the meoting of the cabinet today the princival topic of diseiission was the vacant socrotaryship of state. It is understood that various gentiemen whose namos have been propounded to the president for the position wero canvussed in their various attitudes and the feasibility of promoting to the posis tion General Tracy, secrotary of the navy, or appointing General John W. Foster, formerly of Indiaua but for many yoars of this city, was talked over. It {s stated upon the authority of a cabinet oficor that the presi. dent has concluded to make an sppointment with a view to compiotiug only the re- it STREET, 38, Tar Bee, } mainder of Secretary Blaine's unfin- ished term, and with a view to the appointment of another man to the position on tha 4th of March next. This, it is stated, probably indicates the appomtment of General Foster, The president has been inclined for several days to transfer to the vacant portfolio retary Tracy, he having istinguished bim- self in diplomatic affairs during the recent controversy with Cuili, and being a trained lawyor and trivd executive oficer, but the president would in that event be called upon immediately to ill a vacancy fo the Navy de- partment, and he desires to rid himself of filling oftices by making the one appointment. Geueral Foster's Activity., The ouly obstacle in the way of the ap- vointment of General Koster to fill out the unexpired term has been and is now the general's connection with the department us its diplomatic attorney. General Foster has quite as wuch of the department’s busi- ness upon his hands as he can complete dur- ing the next nine months and the president has feared that to make him secretary of state would impair his services in lis pres- ent capacity. On the other hand the presi- dent desires in tho new secretary of state man who is well versed in the Bering sea controversy, as the poiut at which these complicated disputes are to be entrusted to arbitration is near at hand and a high order of skill in diplomacy manded as well as familiarity with ull the details of the ques- tious fnvolved, t has about been decided that General Foster could assume general supervision of this work and other uncompleted affairs pending bofore the department and at tha samo time take absolute control of the actails without serious impairment of any of the governments' interests and that altogether the affairs of the department would be better subserved by his promotion than should one un familiar with the work bo selected secro- tary of state. It is not therefore likely that Secretary Tracy wili bo transferrod to the Department of state, but altogether prob- able that General Foster will assume the duties of the vacant portfolio. Nebraska and the Independents, This evening's Washington Star has this: “Edtor Rosowater of I'ne Omana Bee is in the city and was at the capito! today. “The thivd party in Nebraska,' sald Mr. Rosewater, 'is rathor a formiduble organiza- von, 1t is compact and uuder thorough con- trol. Its force has lessened somewhat dur- g the past year, butitis almost certain that at the next eloction tho so-called inde- pendents will cast between 40,000 and 50,000 votes. Noxt week tho ropresentatives of those discontented peoplo will hold their convention in Omaha and the great ques- tion to be settled there will be that of rusion, If they decide on joining hands with the democrats the republican party in Nebraska will bave to do lots of work bofore eclection day. Of course, we do not think it wiil be possible for the third party managers to make men who were for years republic- ans vote the democratio ticket, but the probavilities that some such thing may occur will have to bo met i the most effective fushion. Izm conv that when the old republicans who huvéavandered into the new party see that they aré being used to rake the chestnuts out of the fire they will come right out and vote just as they used to and as they shoula do."” He Denounc 1 Army Nurses, There was a flerce democratic onslaught in house today upon the present republican ponsion system. Here is what Represents tive Mevedith of the Alexandria, (Va.) di trict, which iswithia sight of Washington, said of the proposition to pension army nurses, and since Meredith has recentiy suc- cecdod General Fitz Hueh Leo fn congress, e may Le taken as prime democratic author- ity: I do no believo those womon who be- came army nurses were actuated by patri- otic wotives in becoming army nurses, but they wore after the almichty dollar. They entered the service for pay and are not en- titled ton pension. No women wero en- listed in tho arwy, and noue are entitled to peusions, except under existing laws."
