o —— ESTABLISHED JUNE 19, 1871, OMAHA, FRIDAY PEACE IS MADE IN MADAGASCAR. Natlves Come to Terms After the Capture of Their Capital. PARIS, Oct. 10.—The minister of war, General Zurlinden, recelved a dispatch from Mojanga today confirming the news previ- ously recelved via Port Louls, Island of Mauritius, of the capture of Antananarivo, caplital of the Island of Madagascar, by the French expeditionary force under the com- mand of General Duchesne. The official dispatch says that after a bril- liant action Antananarivo was occupied on September 30, Peace negotiations with the Hovas were opened the next day and were successtully concluded the same evening by terms being agreed upon subject to the rati- fication of the French government.” General Metzinger, the second in command of the French forces, was thereupon appointed gov- ernor of Antananarivo. The above dispatch was immediately com- municated to President Faure, who after- ward sent the following cable message to General Duchesne: “In the name of all France the government congratulates you, your officers and men. Your admirable troops have all deserved well of the country. | France thanks you for the services you have rendered her and for the great example you have given. You have proved that there are no perils or obstacles which cannot be removed by method, courage and coolness. You are appointed a grand officer of the Legion of Honor. Forward the names with- out delay of those In your command for rewards and the government will propose to Parliament that a medal be struck for dis- tribution to your troope.” . It Is semi-officlally announced that a rig- orous protectorate will be established by France over the island of Madagascar, assur- ing to France the preponderance of the en- tire administration. 'The queen, Ranavalona 1L, will be retained, but the prime minister, her husband, Rainilairivony, will be trans- ported. The official news of the capture by General Duchesne of Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar, has caused great satisfaction throughout ' France, and especially at Mar- sellles and Havre, where all the public build- ings and large numbers of private houses have been decorated with flags and bunting. LONDON, Oct. 10.—Mr. Frederick Turner, a merchant of Antananarivo, has just ar- rived here, and his views have been sought upon the situation in Madagascar. He says the forelgners in Madagascar will welcome a sound French government, provided they be accorded equal rights under it with renchmen. “The country,” he said, “‘must be open to all comers. Naturally, 'France will try to improve her commercial relations with the island, and it is hoped she will do ‘so without making English and German trade impossible. America will have to be reckoned with, as the United States govern- ment has not recognized the French pro- tectorate, and the Americans cannot afford to lose their much growing market.” The Paris correspondent of the Times says: “The protectorate over Madagascar will be exceedingly like annexation. The premier, Rainilix Arrivoni, the husband of the queen, REJECTS THE PORTE'S REPLY Answer of the Sultan Not Satisfactory to the Powers, INCLINED TO SHIFT THE RESPONSIBILITY Turkey Demands the Withdrawal of the British Fleet from the Mouth of the Dardanclles but England Refuses to Comply. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 10.—Late today 1t bacame known that the Turkish govern- ment had finally presented to the envoys of the six powers a reply to thelr collective note on the subject of the recent disturbances here. This reply, however, is not satistactory to the ambassadors. The porte, in its answer enumerates the measures taken to preserve order and declared that the Mussul- men were not the aggressors in the recent rioting, but that on the contrary the Ar- menians killed inoffensive Musselmen. The Turkish government insists that as soon as the Armenian refugees leave the churches in which they have sought refuge the normal aspect of the city will be restored. It denies ordering that no food be supplied the refugees in the churches and urges the ambassadors to assist M the work of restoring order, claim- ing that Armenian conspirators are in league to cause fresh disturbances. The note con- | cludes with the assertion that the govern- | ment Is about to open an inquiry into the recent rloting with the view of discovering the gullty parties. In view of the unsatisfactory nature of the porte's reply the six ambassadors met today to consider what shall be done fur- ther. It is expected that the dragomen of the different embassies will assist the Turkish officlals, in clearing the vicinity of the Armenian churches of the rioters in- fesiing them and installing the refugees in thelr homes, The sultan continues to be greatly dis- turbed by the presence of the Hritish fleet off the Island of Lemnos and has sent again to the ambassador of Great Britain to ask for the withdrawal of the British warships from the vicinity of the entrance of the Dardenelles. Sir Philip Currie, it is under- stood, persists in refusing to recommend the withdrawal of the squadron. Advices recelved here from Trebizond, Ar- menia, confirm the report that a massacre of Armenians has occurred there, It is added that a general panic prevails in that city. The number of killed is not known. Nothing definite has yet been heard from Sivas, Van or Bitlis, where disturbances be- tween the Turks and .Armenians are re- ported to have taken place.

BREACH WIDENS SOMEWHAT| Opposition to Constitutional Revision in the Episcopal Gouneil, BISHOPS VOTE TO GO TO LOUISVILLE Action of the Deputies in Selecting the Next Place of Meeting Over- ruled—Alaskan Mixsion Ex- cites n Controversy. MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 10.—~The opponents of the constitutional revision in the Episcopal church showed their hand in the house of deputies today wh:n Stephen Nash of New York offered a resolution calling for the commitment of the constitution to a new revisional commission. It was stipulated that all amendments before the convention should be referred and that the commission should report to th> next convention and that the report should be In the form of definite amendments to the present constitution. Louis Stockton of western New York asked the ruling of the chair as to whether this resolution was in order. Dr. Dix ruled that it was not, ince the present commission had not presented its full report nor had it been discharged from duty. As no one was ready to move the discharge of the present com- mission consideration of its report was re- sumed. A motion to strike out section 8, which provides for the office of “primate” to be held by the senior bishop, was defeated, 178 to_120. When section 4 was taken up Judge Fair- banks of Fiorida moved to amend by re- storing the number of clerical and lay de- puties from each diocese to the present number of four. This was acctpted with practical unanimity. Buchanan Winthrop was re-elected treasurer of the convention. The houss of bishops took up the proposal for the erection of the diocese of Marquette in north Michigan, which WIF favorably voted on by ths deputies yesterday. The bishops voted in favor of the division, but appointed a committee of conference with the deputies to straighten out some technical difficulties. A set of resolutions was adopted, deploring the Armenian atrocities, commending their ancient church to all Christian people as de- serving of succor and contributions for the relief of fts sore necessities, and respectfully asking the Church of England to take such action as would commend the cause of the Armenian church to the English speaking world. The house then went into council on the subject of Christian unity. The deputies concurred in the Armenian resolutions adopted by the bishops and at 1 p. m. adjourned for the day. BISHOPS VOTE FOR LOUISVILLE. It has developed that the house of bishops this morning voted for Louisville as the next place of meeting. The two houses are thus at odds, the lower house having voted for Atlanta, A conference will be necessary. The board of missions of the Episcopal church this evening debated a resolution of- fered by Bishop Gilbert of Minnesota, which requested the house of bishops to immediately elect a bishop of Alaska. The debate was quite sensational. Bishop Rulison of central Pennsylvania answered some of the charges that have been made against Alaska and the missions. He pleaded for a missionary bishop for Alaska, and he “hoped to God the Methodists and Presbyterians would occupy the field if his church did not wake up.” Bishop Neely of Maine vigorously opposed what he called the spending of money for the petty work in Alaska. He Intended to see the missionary funds more equitably dis- tributed. He declared that the people there wera inaccessible to missionaries. He used some choice sarcasm In referring to Alaskan statistics, and figured that there was some sort of a religlous institution in Alaska al- ready for ever ty people, and that the Episcopalian: ve hard work finding eet. Referring to the vhom they proposed to a bishop, he would not accept him as a missionary for Aroostook county, Maine. He could not talk the language after being there seven years. Bishop Tuttle of Missourl defended the proposition for a bishop, and Bishop Whipple of Minnesota observed that it was the first time in the history of the church that a falthful missionary had been so harshly crit- icised. Bishop Seymour and others made vigorous replies to the bishop from Maine, and Bishop Parel and others defended him and said he deserved the thanks of the board for introducing a new era in missionary dis- cussion. The matter will come up again to- morro EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN COUNCIL, Relations the General Synod Dise at Length EASTON, Pa., Oct. 10.—At today's session of the council of the Evangelical Lutheran church of North America Rev. Prof. L. G. Lund of the United States Norwegian Luth~ eran church conveyed gréetings of his body and President Moldenke responded, express- ing hope that a union of the two bodies would soon be consummated. Rey. Dr. Seizz of Philadelphia made an address on the rela- tion between the general council and general synod and read the report on material re- lations, which was presented by the commit~ tes appointed by the gemeral synod. The report recommends that where a fleld in for- eign missions is already occupjed by one body no other body of the Luthergn church sfail seek to establish missions therein ini the same language. As to home missions, the report recommends that all misslonaries work together for the advancament of the Luth:ran faith, and deprecates the strifo manifested as to church papers. The report was discussed by Rev. S. W. Owen of Mary- land and others. Rev. Dr. Owen appeared a» a delegate from the general synod and said it was the desire of the general synod to establish friendly re- lations with the general council, and asked that a visitor from a general council be sent to the general synod. The: overture was favorably received. At the afternoon session dressed the general council as the representa- tive of the general synod. This was conse- quent on the resolution passed in the morn- ing session. It was the first time the general Dr. Offen ad- ‘ried from the east synod had sent a delegate to the general council, and it was also the first time the latter had ever received a delegate or sought to reunite the two bodles. The report of the committee on fraternal relations between the general synod and the members of the general council was adopt:d with every member voting in the afirmative, except Rev. Dr. Spatts. The report of the committee as a whole was then adopted. MAY ESTABLISH A NEW Christian Endeavor Soclety Branches Out in n New Role, CHICAGO, Oct. 10.—It is announced that the Christian Endeavor socleties have decided to start a monthly In Chicago to be known as the Christian Endeavorer. The four great forward movements for which this papr will stand will be: First, missionary extension; second, Christian citizenship; third, evange- listle endeavor, a movement to carry the gos- pel among the people not ordinarily reached by church service; fourth, the rescue of the Sabbath. This last is the newest movement in Christian Endeavor ranks. It means the upbullding of the Christian Sabbath in the affections, the habits and the laws of the people. The movement aims to acquaint the Christlan Endeayorers with the history, the value and absolute necessity of the Sab bath to the people. The plan Is first to bring the Christians up to what is considered the proper stand for them to take on the subject before the work is carried on among those outside of the churches. This paper will be in the nature of a co- operative paper, as 40 per cent of the sub- scriptions received from each state will be donated to that particular state union, SYRACUSE, N. Y., Oct. 10.—The second day's session of the natlonal ‘council of the Congregational churches of the United States took an international aspect thls morning, when delegates were welcomed from the unions of England, Wales and Canada. Rev. George S. Barrett, tho English representative, spoke on the reception tendered him, and said that the English send greeting. The Ameri- can church had sprung from England, but the child had outgrown the parent. He con- tinued: “You Americans héve a knack of getting ahead of us, especlally iIn athletics.” Mr. Barrett discussed the situation in the English church, saying that the rise of the sacerdofil movement was the main difculty. Addresses were-made by Reve. B. M. Hill and John Morton, representing the Canadian unlon. Moderator Dingley made & response on be- half of the council. The council considered the matter of erect- ing a memorial to John Robingon, the founder of Congregationalism. j A committee reported thdt §1,100 had al- ready been subscribed towfitd the erection of a_church at Gainesboro, {England, where the Pilgrims worshipped. liwn intended to dedicate this church next year, Resolutions recommending that the American ministers attend these exerclses wera adopted. The remainder of the mjorning’s session was devoted to addresses pn ‘““Training of Ministers for Our Foreign Population.” The report of the committes of city evan- gelization was presented by Hev. Judson Tits- worth of Milwaukee, The report of the committge on union with the Free Baptists was read By Rev. Willlam H. Ward. The report says that there are two ways in which the unfon of feparate denomi- nations can b2 made visible in the world. One Is by actual corporate Whion; the other by confederation, each dendmination main- taining its separate existende, but meeting and conferring together at stated times for their mutual advantage and. the prosecution of their common work. Where corporate union cannot be secured copfederation may partly serve the purpose of exhibiting the unity of believers. The New Jersey assoclation presented a series of declarations defining thelr position on church unity. This evening the subject for discussion was “Two Hundred and Sev- enty-five Years from Plymouth Rock, Includ- ing Reference to the Twenty-five Years of the Life of the National Council.”” The evening session was more largely at- tended than any of the previous sessions, great Interest being taken in the subject under discussion, “Two Hundred and Seven y- five Years from Plymouth Roek.” Rev. Wil- llam H. Moore was the principal speaker. Dr. Levitt H. Hall pald a tribute to Rev. Marcus Whitman, who was a missionary to the Indians fn 1837 In the northwest, and the speaker presented a silver mounted gavel, the weod of which was from'an apple tree, the seeds of which Dr. Whitman had car- to the site of Walla Walla, Wash. The moderator accepted the glft in memory of a Christian martyr and ploneer, delivering a further eulogy to Dr. Whitman. Rey. George H. Wells continued the presentation of the subject of the even- ing. Rev. George S. Barrett of London, the representative of England and Wales, gave a slight sketch of the present condition and prospects of Congregationalisi, Rev. Joseph H. Twitchell of Connecticut the final speaker of the evening. “‘Civil and Religlous Liberty, 275 Years from Plymouth Rock," was his theme. [ MISSIONS OF THE MNETHODISTS. Meeting of the Branch in Or fia. The opening services of the twelfth annual meeting of the Topeka branch of the Woman's Foreign Missionary soclety were held last evening at the First Methodist church. Rev. Frank Crane presided and made the opening prayer. After a well rendered solo by Miss Mae Robbins, Bishop Thoburn, the principal speaker of the evening, was introduced. He has spent the last thirty years in.missionary work, and is the missionary bishop of the Methodist church. $ The bishop sald that tHe were several good reasons for the work Of the soclety In India. There are 143,000,000 glrls and women in that country, and over: 142,500,000 of them know nothing of Christ's kingdom. There are 22,000,000 widows fn Tudia, most of whom are mere children, @and nearly all of whom are ignorant of thé teachings of Christianity. Of the female-population 142,~ 000,000 are unable to read or write a single line. There is need for the establishment of homes among this numerous: people. They have not the slightest conception of a Chris- tian home. All they know isa house. There is not a word in their language that ex- presses the idea of home. 'The position of women s something deplorgble. They are secluded. If they chance to Fe seen on the street two conclusions are likély to be made concerning them. They are either disrep- utable women or their poverty has forced them out of their houses. '/ The work of Clara Swain, the first woman physician who visited India, was bighly com- mended.

He said that there was need of two Christian wom@n in each dis- trict of India. One of these he would place in cherge of a Christian gehool, the other to conduct religious services among the na- tives. He said that India mhst be a Chris- tian nation before the close of the next cen- tury, and added that he believed that it would be, “I left my wife and family en- gaged in work for the Master in Calcutta on the 23d of March.

RESUMES ~ THE ~ EVICTIONS Work of Ejection Promptly Taken Up by Winnebago Indian Police, FLOURNOY AGENT INTERFERES SOME Manager Myers Stops the Process in the Case of the First Man and Defies the Authority of the Police. PENDER, Neb., Oct. 10.—(Speclal Tele- gram.)—Bviction of Flournoy sublessees was resumed (his morning. Gus Swanson, a Swede, who lives about six miles north of Pender, was moved from his house just after breakfast, His household effects were loaded Into wagons by the Indian police and he and his family were started off the reservation. Before the procession had gone far it was met by J. F. Myers, manager for the Flour- noy company, and United States Deputy Marshal Garrett. These latter immediately interfered with the eviction. Mr. Myers told the Indian po- lice that they must not proceed (o evict or in any way Interfere with the settlers who claim to hold under leases from the Flournoy company. He sald it was not the Intention of the court that the evictions should be made by the Indian poliee, but that United States marshals would be sent to do the work If it became necessary. This assurance did not have the eftect desired by the speaker, as the Indian police questioned his right to interfere, Some warm words passed and Myers ended the quarrel by laying his hand on his revolver and threatening to kill the first Indian who meddled with a settler. Just what will occur next can only be guessed at, but it is altogether probable that Captain Beck will proceed to carry out his instructions from Washington without further delay or ceremony. When an application was made by the Interior department to the War department for troops to assist in ejecting the tres- passing whites from the Omaha and Winne- bago reservation Secretary Lamont gave it as his opinfon that the work could be done by the forces at the agent's command. Sec- retary Smith then, through Commissioner Browning, authorized Captain Beck to in- crease his Indian police force if necessary. Captaln Beck was proceeding to eject settlers under the {nstructions from Washington when Judge Norris of the district court for Thurston county Issued a restraining order enjoining him from proceeding with evic- tions until after January 1, 1896. At Lin- coln on Tuesday Judge Shiras of the federal court, to which the matter had been re- moved, dissolved this injunction. In giving his opinion Judge Shiras said that the Flour- noy company had no rights on the reserva- tion, and could therefore grant none to sub- lessees. His decision was a complete victory for Captain Beck and left the agent free to act under his instructions from Washington. All whites on the reservation who hold under the Flournoy leases are greatly wor- ried over the turn the situation has taken. They now fear that they are to be turned out of house and home at the beglnning of winter, losing their crops and all. It will leave many of them in destitute circum- stances, Most of these settlers leased in good faith from the Flournoy company, rely- ing on the representations of its agents that leases glven under its authority were good. ‘Whatever protection they may receive from General Peebles’ army will probably be theirs, but as the matter now stands it is extremely probable that all who have not leased from the Indians direct will be removed at once from the reservation. It s not likely that United States Marshal White will take any hand in the evections, as the matter s wholly under control of The Indian office. ———— PRIVATES PASS FOR PROMOTION.

Bal- loue, vice president of the American Humane association, today wrote to John G. Shortall of Chicago, president of the society, asking him to withdraw from its minutes the reso- lution recently passed at a meeting in Minne- apolis censuring Governor Mclntyre of Colo- rado for “timidity and indifference in not stopping the bull fights in his state.” Gov- ernor McIntyra sent to the society a state- ment to the effect that he exerted his official powers s0 far as he could lawfully do to prevent the fights. Another brief, supporting the governor, was also filed by George L. Byrn, United States army, which confirms the executive in every point. Governor Mc- Intyre declares that he had the state militia in readiness to rald the arena, but that the sheriff of the county refused to call upon him for assistance. He states that he could not use the militia under the circumstances, only by a gross usurpation of power, which would have rendered him liable to impeachment, e BURLINGTON MAKES ANOTHER CUT, Assert that it is Made to Meet Those of the Wabash and Unifon Pa CHICAGO, Oct. 10.—~Freight rates to Colo- rado common polnts took another tumble today. The Burlington road issued a tarift making a 35-cent rate for fifth class, 40% conts for classes A and B and 38 cents for classes D and B. The same road announced a 33-cent rate for all the classes named from St. Louis and a 23-cent rate from Kansas City. The reason assigned for putting in these rates was that the Union Pacific and Wabash rallroads have taken similar action. These rates will go into effect October 14, Demund an Export Duty. ST. 10.—The Missouri state grange, In annual session at Warrenton, has adopted resolutions demanding the protection of agricultural products by an export duty as a right to which farmers are entitled as long as protection is given to mauufacturers. Just TOWN COMPLETELY DESTROYED. Capital of Lower fornia Wiped Out by a Hurricane. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10.—Private dis- patches recelved here say that Lapaz, Mex., has been completely destroyed by a hurri- cane. The storm was followed by a tidal wave, the waters in the bay rising to an un- precedented helght, invading that portion of the city fronting on the bay, and carrying out to sea animals and debris of wrecked bulldings as the tide subsided. The dispatch announcing the destruction of Lapaz was dated at Guayamas and was re- celved by Shipping Agent Reuter. The dis- patch sald the steamer Willamette Valley of the Pacific Mail line had been delayed two days at Guayamas by the same storm which visited Lapaz, but that she left Guayamas last night for the north. Mexicans here say that they have had dis- patches about a severe storm prevailing all along the coast early this week. The loss of life is reported heavy, but details of the disas- ter are meager. Lapaz Is the capital city of Lower California, and situated on a bay of the same name. The port Is well sheltered and easily defensible against attack from the sea. The city has a population of 3,000, a cathedral, a government house and a town house, and the place was once the abode of luxury, as evidenced by the handsome dwel- lings of the wealthy classes. Lapaz was once the seat of extensive pearl fisheries. Captain Olsen, owner of the schooner Cazar, received a private dispatch from Guay- mas confirming the story of a hurricane and tidal wave at Lapaz, Lower California. The Czar is at Lapaz, and is high and dry on the beach. It is feared that she Is a total loss. Loiza & Co. of this clty, who have oxtensive Interests in Mexico and Lower Cal- ifornta, have had no advices from thelr Guay- mas or Lapaz agents, ana it is understood that the news of the disaster was received at Guaymas from passengers on some steamer plying between Guaymas and Lapaz. There i no telegraphic communication from the Lower California capital, so news from the scene of the disaster is necessarily slow. The Pacific Coast Steamship company, owner of the steamer Willamette Valley, has recelved no advices bearing on the matter of the storm. Their steamer, the Wil- lamette Valley, was delayed at Guaymas two days, but s now on her way mnorth. Mexicans here have had dispatches about a severe storm which prevailed all along the coast early this week. The loss of life is re- ported heavy, but detalls of the disaster are meager. GUAYMAS, Mex., Oct. 10.—(Via Nogales, Ariz.)—In the hurricane which swept over Lapaz 184 houses were destroyed, four lives lost and about twenty-one persons were wounded. Nineteen crafts, including the American gchooner Czar, partly loaded with dynamite, were beached and a government revenue cutter was sunk. Gardens and orchards were washed away. An iron safe containing $5,500 in Mexican dollars was washed over halt a mile, but was rescued. At San Jose del Cabo several houses were damaged. Gardens and orchards were de- stroyed. At Mazatlan many residences were damaged. Considerable damage was done at Playa Colorama. The customs house at Tobolampo was partly destroyed and the ad- Joining bulldings were damaged. Many res- idences ‘of the American colony were destroved and the remainder were more or less damaged. Agiabampo was almost en- trely destroyed. The whole country around rivers Yaqua, Nayo and Fuerte were over- flowed and immense damage done. The sugar refinerles at Aguila and Florida were totally destroyed. The cane fields were all washed away. There {s no news from the towns of Fuerte and Altata. It was supposed that great damage was done. Additional partic- ulars are expected by the steamer Mazatlan, which s now due. e WILLIAM S, MANNING IS Son of the Town Honnire Confined in the Cleveland Asylum. CLEVELAND, 0., Oct. 10.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Willlam 8. Manning, who comes from Keosaqua, Ia., was adjudged Insane by Probate Judge White yesterday and com- mitted to the Cleveland State hospital. Man- ning is of a good family and was once well-to- do. His father is Edwin C. Manning of Keo- saqua, president of the Iowa National bank of Ottumwa, Ia., and one of the wealthiest men of the state. Several weeks ago Manning spent the night in the Men's Home, and toward morning was found unconscious on the steps of the institution on Michigan street. It was sup- posed at the tlme that he had been sand- bagged, and he was sent to the Cleveland hospital. There ft was discovered that his condition was due to natural causes. He was treated in the hospital until one day last week, when he was discharged, apparently much improved. On Saturday night he was picked up in the streets of Painesville, in the same condition In which he was found on Michigan street. The Painesville people shipped him back here, thirty miles, and this morning he was discovered hanging to a telephone pole and waiting, =0 he said, to kill and rob a man who was to pass by with $2,000. The police took kim to the probate court, where he had a kind word to say for every one except his father. The man has not been in shape any of the time to tell much about himself, but the name and address he gave were found on his person, and Mrs. Kirkpatrick of the Cleve- land General hospital has been in correspond- ence with his people, who write that he is beyond thelr control and they have done all they can for him. It is through Mrs. Kirk- patrick’s statements to the police that his Towa connections and history are known. It seems that the man lost his mind through overwork, and was for a time in a private institution for the insane in Iowa. ———— CUBAN FLAG RAISED AT KEY W Celebrated INSANE. T, [ crsary of the Execution dents, JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. A speclal dispatch to the Citizen from Key West says: Today being the anniversary of the execution of students at Havana, it was celebrated in a fitting manner by ceremonies which began by the ralsing of the Cuban flag underneath the American flag at the city hall and court house, amid cheers, music and the booming of cannon. Residences and business houses were gally decorated, many of the latter being closed for the day. A long proces- slon paraded the streets, and then went to the cemetery, where the monument in mem- ory of the Cuban leaders who perished for the cause was decorated. Addresses were made then, and at night the people were very enthusiastic. Jobn Buell Frazier, a negro, was acci- dentally killed by the explosion of a cannon used in the celebration. SIXTY DOWN.

SON RICH THOMAS, Following the example set a week ago, when a county ticket of conceded excellence was nominated, the Citizens' league dele- gates met at Washington hall yesterday ufter< noon and named a city ticket that will come mand the support of friends of good gove ernment, regardless of partisan afliations, and that is the dominant principal of the league. If any refutation were needed of the dervish charge that there is no demand for a reform movement in city and county aftairs at this time, the personnel of yesterday's convention would furnish it. The convention was composed of and dominated by men who have been strangers in political conventions, men whose business Interests are such that they would not lay them aside for a moment to consider public affairs did they not realize the imperative necessity of taking some action that would rescue the city from the clutch of the political plunderers who havs held the city at thelr mercy for the last four years. It was distinctly a taxpayers® rather than a taxeaters' convention. Instead of Van Alstine, €laus Hubbard, Jim Allan, Jim Winspear, George Stryker, Sam Macleod, Pete Schwenk, Pete Birkhauser and others of that class, who have heretofore selected the men for whom the people were compelled to vote, there were in the convention such men as Jonh 8. Knox, manager of the Cudahy Packing company, B, E. Bruce of the wholes sale drug house of B. E. Bruce & Co., C. F. Weller of the Richardson Drug company, Dudley Smith of the Steele-Smith Grocery company, Thomas Kilpatrick of the Kilpat- rick-Koch Dry Goods company, A. T. Rector of the Rector-Wilhelmy Hardware company; John S, Brady of McCord & Brady, W. S. Wright of the Rector-Wilhelmy Hardware company, A. L. Nields of M. E. Smith & Co., and many other men who have large bus- iness and property interests in the city, and who are In favor of requiring from city offi- clals the same system of economy and ac- countability that they exact from the men who are employed by them in their private business enterprises. There was a total eclipse of the ward heeler- element i the convention. Some of the dervish representatives from other par- tles came In as spectators and occupled seats in the gallery. The convention was called to order by Chairman Rector of the Central club of the league, who read the call for the conven- tion. W. H. DeFrance was nominated by acclamation for chairman of the convention, and Arthur Karbach and W. H. Minton wers chosen as secretaries. Chairman Delrance made a speech, in which he sald that the convention had met as nonpartisans for the purpose of nominating a ticket that would rid the city of boodlerism, bribery and re- liglous proscription. He asked the further pleasure of the convention, and on motion of H. D. Estabrook, the delegates whose credentials had been handed to the officers of the convention were declared the ac- credited delegates in the conventfon. The delcgates were as follows: LIST OF DELEGATES. General Officers—President, C. F. Weller; vice presidents, George W. Doane, A. P. Tukey, W. A. Paxton, Frank Kaspar, James Shesan; treasurer, John F.

On a formal ballot Brown received 67 votes Howell 37, Peabody 5 and Kennedy 1. Mr, Browg's fomination was made unanimou and he was called to the platform an greeted with an entbusiastic cheer. He said: estcem it as a very high compliment to bave received this nomination at your hands. It is doubly an honor and a compliment, as 1 have in no Instanc: solicited the nominas tion. A mayor can do something, perhapd much, to furiher the reform movement which ou have Insugurated in this city, but unless e has the interested co-operation of a busty ness-like council he cannot do a great deal, I beg of you, therefore, to remember that i€ is of the greatest importance that you noms inate and elect a council in sympathy with |=:~ reforms which you bope to carry out in t eity.” For clty treasurer the names of Thomad Swobe, J. H. Dumont, C. W. Thompson and H. P. Diuel were placed before the convens tion.
