Furthefmore the rest and quiet of ‘Washington when Congress is not in ses- sion is better adapted to the needs of the venerable men like Harris, Turpie, Jones and other aged men wha are to run the Democratic campaign. Incidentally, too, Senator Gorman is in Washington every day, and while Gorman will probably not appear as a member of the executive or the advisory or any other committee, it is known that the Democratic managers will depend upon him almost hourly for the benefit of his experience and astuteness in the management of political campaigns. AN ISSUE OF BUSINESS. Governor Flower’s Views Politics and the Great Money Question. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 17.—Governor Flower returned to New York yesterday from the Chicago convention. He says: “1met a great many business men at Chicago, including men from all sections of the country, especially the South and West. I met others at Watertown, and still others since I reached New York. I never saw business men so thoroughly united in their ideas as they are now, and 1 have never seen a political party succeed which was opposed even by a majority o the business men. They wish no further on disturbance of the currency, and they are a unit in their desire to preserve the present standard. It cannot matter what the politicians do; the business men will send out their literature to the farmers and mechanics of the United Statesand absolutely control this election. It is a great business ques- tion, for on it hinges prosperity for all the people. I look for organization outside of both parties and an issue wholly of business und not of politics. The people will be thoroughly educated on this currency question before November. I have no fear but what the people will decide the ques- tion in the right way. There are some Re- publican farmers in my county who be- lieve in taking free coinage as a dose to cure their illness resulting from the small returns for produce, but when they thor- oughly understand the question they would sooner take jalap than free coinage. “Business men have made up their minds to have no more lack of confidence and no more doubtful dollars. A cam- paign conducted on this issue can certainly result in but one way and then will come the return of prosperity. I don’t believe in a third party, but Idon’t fear it, for one might have a tendency to reach some people otherwise overlooked. I want the situation treated strictly from a business standpoint. I think that the business movement will sweep all the politicians off their feet when it gets well started. We have had too many politicians, any- way ; all telling the people how much they loved them.” ,,,,, e LOTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT. Illinois Gold Democrats Urged to Kick Over the Traces of Gov=- ernor Altgeld. CHICAGO, IrL, July 17.—The Illinois gold Democratic organization is receiving plenty of encouragement in the bundle of letters written from a!l sections of the TUnited Stetes to headquarters. Since the National address was issued about 100 let- ters and numerous telegrams have been Teceived. Most of theletters have been answered by requests for the writersto organize “sound money” clubs in their city and county at-once preparatory to sending delegates toa National conven- tion. Henry Vollmer, Mayor of Davenport, Iowa, wrote to assure the Illinois commit- tee of the hearty sympathy of the Democ- racy of his city and Scott County. Thomas Carty of Knoxville, Tenn., stated that the new ticket movement had the approval of every sound money Democrat in the city to whom he had spoken. E. L. May of Montgomery, Ala,, wrote to say that the Democrats of his city would eitber vote for McKinley, or notat all. Frederick W. Schultz,a merchant of Baltimore, writes by request of a number of Democrats to express their opinion that the Chicago convention was not Demo- cratic in any respect and that they would not vote at all if athird ticket was not put up. Postmaster Gould of Moline, 111, sent a list of forty-five local Democrats who will not vote for Bryan and many of them for MeKinley. C. C. Moore of Little Rock, Ark., ex- Attorney-General of Arkansas, wrote: *I know that we can accomplish nothing toward electing the nominees of the pro- posed new convention, but we can and will maintain our manhood and political in- tegrity. Less can be hoped for In Arkan- sas than in any other State. An over- whelming majority of the Democracy of the State has trained after the strange gods of the Populists.” Laurence A. Sexton, on behaif of the State Democracy of New York City, tele- graphed the result of last night's meeting and adde “Keep up the good fight.” There will be a meeting of the State Committee Monday next to hear and act on the reports and correspondence as to other States. The committee favors put- _ungupan anti-Altgeld State ticket if a _new Presidential ticket is named. There was talk to-day that Altgeld would with- araw from the ticket on account of the ‘embarrassment which the death to-day of his brother-in-law, John W. Lanehart, would bring him, but his political friends .assert that the Governor would continue in therace and attend to his public and _private business. o P RS MINNESOTA BIMETALLISTS. They Promise to Support Bryan in the Struggle for the Presi~ dency. MINNEAPOLIS, Mnyw., July 17.—The exposition building, the scene of many a _greal gatbering, was filled last night with .an audience larger than any ii has held since the National Republican Convention 1 1892. The occasion was a ratification meeting held under the auspices of the Republican Bimetallic League of Minne- .sota, and was the conclusion bf the State Convention held to-day, at which dele- gates were present from every county in the State. Addresses were made by Con- gressman Charles A. Towne of Duluth, ex-Congressman John Lynd, Senator John Day Smith, Hon. Frank M. Nye, brother of the iate “Bill"” Nye, and several others. The silver addresses set the vast audi- ence wild with enthusiasm, and the name of Bryan as the candidate of all the people regardless of political parties received a “tremendous ovation. The convention in the afternoon elected thirty delegates and thirty alfernates to the Silver Convention at St. Louis. Hon. John Lynd was indorsed as a candidate for Governor, and he will receive the solid support of the silver Republicans, Demo- crats and People’s party. William J. Bryan was also unanimously indorsed by the convention, which pledced the support of all bimetal- Jist Republicans in the State to the Demo- cratic nominee, NOT IN FAVOR ~ OF INDORSEMENT, California’s Populistic Dele- gation Has So De- cided. NOBANKERSNEED APPLY Willing to Nominate Bryan, but on a People’s Party Platform. TELLER SENTIMENT STRONG News of the Golden State Representa- tives Wired by Joseph Asbury Jobnson. OGDEN, Urag, July 17.—Great ambi- tion prevails in the California delegation to the Populist convention. Before break- fast this morning at Elko the last man in favor of indorsement remounced it. The whole twenty-six are now a unit in favor of a nomination of our own. We are all willing to nominate Bryan on a Populist platform, but only on conditions. Sewall, for Vice-President, must give place to a Populist from the South. This delegation will not support the president of a National bank for Vice-President or any other posi- tion. Other conditions are essential. One- half ot the Cabinet must be Populist, like- wise half the Presidential electors. On Congressmen the Populists will concede that in districts throughout the country where Democrats are the stronger Popu- lists will support Democratic candidates, but where Populists are the stronger Dem- ocrats must support Populists. Thisdele- gation will concede no more to Democracy. Teller sentiment is stronger, but has limitations. He must stand uncondition- ally on the Populist platform and give up any relation whatever with railroad or other corporations if he hasany. The in- clination for Teller is grounded on the be- lief that the greatest accessions to the People’s party will come from Republi- cans, especially on the score of the Pop- ulist demand for a non-partisan tariff tribunal elected by the people, one from each State. Denver papers were eagerly bought on the train this morning and the announce- ment by Governor Waite over his own signature that he would vote for Bryan electors was found. The effect was magi- cal, for it produced the same result with each delegate. On the instant each man felt a stronger determination tp resist any such action. Each could see the same motive—the desire of Governor Waite for re-election, which is to be assured by the trade with Teller for Secretary of the Treasury. It is safe to say that fusion grows more odious with each mile we make toward St. Louis. The chairman of the Nevada State Peo- ple’s party committee, J. B. McCullough, & Populist delegate, joined our delegation last night instead of waiting for Mr. Baker's contingent. He gives a graphic report of the Stewart-Jones-Newiands- railroad pocket buorough. He thinks it probable that the Populists will putupa straight ticket for next November. Silver alone does not satisfy Nevada. In passing through Nevada we met at each station groupsof men who always asked the same question, “Will you in- dorse Bryan?” They always got the saie answer, “If he indorses our platform and willdivide on all other matters, yes—mnot otherwise.” The invariable response, in a tone of de- jectment and with an air of injared inno- cence has been, “That beats us.” One can see at a glance that these men think that the People’s party has no higher mission than to become the annex of De- mocracy and give up its existence to be absorbed by an old corrupt, disintegrating organization on one minor issue. It shows how slow men in the old parties are to understand the meaning of the Populist movement. 1 am indebted to Colenel Taylor Rogers for a thorough investigation of the politi- cal history, occupation, nativity, ete., of the twenty-six delegates now on this train. They are all native Americans, except one, and he was born of American parents in a foreign country. All are married but three. Fourteen were formerly Republi- cans, five Democrats, five Greenbackers, one Prohibitionist and one, a young man, always a Populist. By occupation, eight are farmers, two editors, two lawyers, one architect, one coliector, one doctor, one manufacturer, three merchants, three laborers, three teachers and one a raisin- grower. The tables include several other points which are heré omitted. M. W. Wilking found all in favor of woman suffrage except one. JOsEPH ASBURY JOHNSON. Delaware Kepudlicans, GEORGETOWN, Der., July 17.—The Higgins Republican BState Convention here was largely attended and was harmonious in' every respect. All efforts to have the Addicks State ticket confirmea failed except in the case . of Daniel J. Fooks, one of the electors on the State ticket. Numerous speeches were made de- nouncing Addicks. The convention named Jonn C. Higgins of Newcastle County for Governor, Robert C. Houstan of Sussex County for Congress and William C. Spruance of Newcastle County, Manlove Hayes of Kent County and Daniel J. Fooks of Sussex County for Presidential electors. The platform adopted declares in favor of sound money; congratulates the peovle of the country on the prospect of returning to prosperity under a Re- publican tugfll; declares in favor of good roads and denounces the Democratic Na- tlonal Convention and its platform. Wilson Joins the Bolters. COLORADO SPRINGS, Coro., July 17.— Congressman Wilson of Idaho joined the bolting Republican silver men at Manitou to-day. Nothing new has developed, but it is understood that the meeting will be held to-morrow. Death of Charles H. Colburn. MILFORD, Mass., July 17.—Charles H. Colburn, a prominent manufacturer of Hopedale, died this morning. Mr. Col- burn was about 60 years of age. While in his teens he spent four years in California, being an active member of the Vigilance Committee. He e intimate with many of the prominent men of the State. Bnnrn!nato Milford he connected him- self with Godfrey, Colburn & Co., in whose interests he crossed the plains to Denver in 1860, thus becoming entitled to member- ship in the Society of Colarado Pioneérs. ROBBED ONLY ONE WAN. Rather Clumsy Attempt to Hold Up the Passengers on a Rock Island 3 Train. LINCOLN, Ngse, July 17.—It de- veloped to-day that a clumsy attempt was made last night to hold up the passengers ona Rock Island train directly in front of the depot. Just after the train pulled in and while the crew was engaged in switching some extra coaches three men boarded the front end of the chair car and proceeded with revolvers in hand to ask the occupants to turn over their valuables. Only one man contributed, and he was so badly frightened that he failed to make an outery until the highwaymen had jumped from the car and disappeared. The amount secured was small. The affair was not reported to the police until to-day. e DEATH OF WALTEE O. LEWIS. Founder of the United Press Ship News Enterprise. NEW YORK, N. Y., Juiy 17.—Walter O. Lewis, who built the orizinal telegraph line from this city to Sandy Hook and did much to develop the srstem of ship news gathering now in vogue, died at the home of his daughter in Germantown, Pa., last night. He was about 82 yearsold. His ship news enterprise was absorbed into the organization of the original Associated Press, now the United Press, where it still remains. He was for many years the manager of the ship news office here. He was one of the early advocates of the feasibility of the Atlantic cable and a warm friend of Cyrus W. Field. He was widely known among the telegraphic fraternity and was a familiar figure in the newspaper circles of New York. SIREERIL Mormon Converts Coming. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 17.—Notice- able among the immigrants who were landed at Ellis Island from the steamer Furnessic yesterday were about sixty young women and men, who seemed to be in better circumstances than their com- panions in the steerage. These young persons were Mormon con- verts, aud were the result of a year’s prose- Iyting in Great Britain and Ireland. They left for the West last night. MADE FALSE ENTRIES, Arrest of a Kansas Bank Cashier for a Heavy Embezzle- ment. There Is a Second Mysterious Short- 2ge That the Accused May Be Able to Account For. ‘WICHITA, Kaxs., July 17.—The officials of the Exchange National Bank at El Dorado, the county seat of Butler County, were startled to find yesterday that some one had been making false entries in their books, and & secret investigation was im- mediately commenced. The entire night | was spent in ferreting out the discrepan- cies, and at 5 o’clock this morning 8. G. Fleming, the cashier, was asked to resign and was arrested on the charge of forgery and embezzlement of $10,000. The arrest was kept secret until this afternoon, when Fleming was placed in jail and the matter became public. The news was a thunderbolt to the entire com- munity, as evarybody had the utmost con- fidence in him. He is a Knight Templa: and has always been prominent in social and church circles. Coupled with the facts brought to light to-day is another mystery, which has hitherto remained unsolved. About a year 2go the bank was robbed of $15,000in gold and currency, and although the best de- tectives in the country had worked on the case, they have never recovered the money, captured the guilty parties or even fastened & suspicion upon any one. Fleming refuses to talk, and itis not known that he could throw any light on the $15,000 loss. The stockholders of the bank are estimated to be worth many times the amount of the entire deposits and will make good the shortage. There is universal regret over the affair. Mr. Fleming has a mother, wife and child that are very popular in the community. —_——— OF INTEREST TO THE COAST. Coast Defense Works at San Francisco to Be Erected. ‘WASHINGTON, D.

Steam Whistles, Cannons, Horns and Firecrackers Make the Night Hideous. ESCORTED BY A BIG PARADE, At the Legislative Building the Boy Orator Tells the Pecp'e How He Loves Them. LINCOLN, Ngpr., July 17.—To-night Lincoln is delirious. The delirium began when the train bearing William J. Bryan was sighted by the thousands gathered in and about the railway station. How many thousands there were it would be difficult to estimate. Men, women and children with tin horns, which they blew lustily, steam . calliopes, steam whistles, cannon, firecrackers and everything else that could be conveniently handled, helped turn the vicinity of the station into a pandemoniam. As Mr.and Mrs. Bryan, with the Lin- coln contingent that had gone to meet them, stepped from the train a mighty howl went up from the crowd, and then began the din of artificial noise. Shrieks grunts, whistles and yowls continued with a persistence that showed a keen enjoy- ment on the part of these handling the instroments of torture. In some way Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, their children and the others with them man- aged to get through the assembled masses and were placed in carriages. Mayor Gra- ham and a reception committee had charge of the arrangements and under their direction the nominee’s party were conducted to the Bryan residence, 1625 D street, where neighbors and friends were waiting to give them hearty welcome. The house had been decorated profusely and an informal reception was heid by Mr. and Mrs. Bryan until supper was an- nounced. There was a hasty meal, for the procession that was to escort the Demo- cratic candidate to the State capitol was already forming and people were getting | impatient for another chance to cheer. At 8:30 o’clock Mr. Bryan wentto the Lincoln Hotel in a carriage to take his place in the parade, Mrs. Bryan and & number of friends proceed- g directly to the Legislative build- ing. It had begun to rain by this time, but the ardor of the people was not diminished, and when Mr. Bryan drove up to the hotel he was greeted. with a repetition -of the delirious enthusiasm, expressed by lung power and by the in- struments of torture that had been given him on his arrival at the railway station. Tben the procession was started for the State house. A platoon of police led the parade, First came F. A, Miller, chief marshal, and his staff, including a number of army and National Guard officers, fol- lowed by the Second Regiment band and the Lincoln Light Infantry. Mr. Bryan came next, and after him Company 8 of the Firs: Regiment of the N. N. G. State, county and city officials followed in turn, and the rest of the procession was made up of civic organizations of every charac- ter, including traveling men and relief so- cieties, The Bryan Home Guards bore flambeaus and discharged rockets, while many of the other paraders also indulged in pyrotech- nic display. A brass band headed nearly every organization and there was no lack of musical effort. Pucked in the rain outside the State house were people by the thousands. They cared nothing for the wet under foot and the wet overhead, and stood in the mud as patiently as if it had peen the most propitious weather. And their en- thusiasm was something wonderful. Nearly every young man and woman was armed with a tin horn and they spared not their lungs. But their cheers drowned out all other attempts at ex- pressing feeling, When Mr. Bryan was introduced the shout that went up wasa mighty one and it was repeated over and over again. A temporary platform had been erected at the north entrance of the building and from this Mr, Bryan spoke as follows: Fellow citizens: I am proud to-night to be able to say to those who are assembled here, these are our neighbors. [Applause.] I beg to express to Repubiicans, Democrats, Populists, Prohibitionists and all the parties the grati- tude which we feel for tnis magnificent demon- stration. Isay we, because she who has shared my struggles deserves her full share of all the honors that may come to me. [Applause.] This scene to-night recalls the day nine years ago this month, when by accident rather than by design I first set foot within the limits of the city of Lincoln. I remember the aay, be- cavse I fell in love with the town and then made the resolve to make it my future home. [Great cheering.] I came&mONg you & stranger in a strange land, and yet no people have treated a stranger more kindly than you have trented me, and I desire to express to-night not only our grateful appreciation of all the kindness, socially and politically, that you bave shown to us, but to give to you the as- surance that if by the suffrage of our country- men, I, tor a short time, occupy the most hon- orable place 1n the gift of the people, that I shall return to the people who first took me in their arms. [Applause.] This shall be my home. And when earthly honors have passea away I shall mingle my ashes with the dust of this beloved State. This is no political gathering. I see bhere the faces o1 those who will not be with me on the issues of the dayj but Iam so gled that love can leap across party lines and bind in holy friendship judgments that go apart. Ithank the Mayor of this great eity for the Ccharity which he has shown to-day. I thank those of a1l parties who have been willing for a moment to forget differences that exist be- tween us ana join in celebrating the fact that 8t last the nomination for President has trossed the Missouri River. [Great cheering and loud and long applsuse.] We are glad that the Prohibition party came to our city for its candidate, and if the grest Republican party, which for so many years has dominated in the councils of the Nation, had selected & Nebraska man for the hesd of the ticket I should have led you in honoring him, re- gardless of what his opinions might have been. [Great applause.] Tam glad that the other States of this Na- tion, esst and south and west, will bave their attentions turned toward this great prairie State and toward this capitsl city. I believe, my friends, that when our fellow-citizens in other sections of this land shall have become acquainted with the people of this State they will pay all honor to us, and it will be a tie to bind us all in common love of the greatest Nation on God's footstool to-day. [Applause.] And now, until I can see each one of you personally and express my thanks by the pres- sure of the hand or by my voice, permit me to bid you all, in behalf of my wife and myself, good-night. [Long and continued applause.j After the speaking Mr. and Mrs. Bryan standing in the rotunda of the house re- ceived a vast concourse of people. They were assisted in receiving by Mr. and Mrs. M. D. Welch, Dr. and Mrs. C. L. Ladd, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel G. Hudson, Mr. and Mrs. R. P. B. Miller and Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Hargreaves and many of the State officials. S gt VR, SPEECHES ON THE WAY. Many People Greet the Democratic Nominee During the Journey to Lincoln. KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 17.—W. J. Bryan and family left Kansas City for Lincoln, Nebr., at 11 o’clock this morning on the Burlington road in a special car engaged by his Lincoln friends. A party of Lincoln people came to Kansas City to greet Bryan and he returned home as their guest. Before he reached Kansas City he was informed of the reports circu- lated here that he was a member of the A. P. A. end of the Junior Order of Amer- ican Mechanics. He denied that he is or ever had been a member of either order. In his speech last night he took occasion to speak of the right of freedom of religious worsbip. After he is notified of his nom- ination he will speak on the subject of liberty iz the exercise of conscience and belief. ‘When Bryan reached the Union station in Kansas City he found a large crowd assembled there, cheering lustily. In re- sponse to the cries of “Speech,” he stepped to the rear platform &f the car and said: “‘We are going West in a few minutes; with your kind assistance we will go East next year.” Heavy rain fell during the morning. At East Leavenworth, Weston and Ar- mour the crowds were waiting in pouring rain. The train stopped only a minute. Bryan bowed to the crowd from the rear of the newspaper-car. The train arrived at St. Joseph at 12:30 P. M. The staticn platform was packed with people. They swarmed around the temporary platform near the track on which the train stood and shouted en- thusiastically. Bryan was introduced by Calvin Burns, president of the National Bank, and made an address which was frequehtly interrupted by cheers. The train left at 1:05, followed by more cheers. Several hundred people were assembled at the Francis-street station in St. Joseph and with many of these Mr. Bryan shook hands. At Forest City, Mo., there was a big crowd and a band and the hand-shaking was repeated. A royal welcome to his own State was given Mr. Bryan. The first town after crossing the Missouri into Ne- braska was Rulo, and althongh the place is small in population it was not lacking in ability to make a noise. There was sometbing strikingly similar to a railway hold-up or lynching bee in the manner adopled by Ralo in letting the Democratic candidate know he was in the land of his friends and neighbors. As the train came to a standstill three scoreof men rushed forward and began firing their shotguns and rifles with which they were armed. Then a brass band composed of boys struck up an air of welcome. When Mr. Bryan appeared on the platform a great shout went up from the crowd at the sta- tion. - Then there was a rush for the irain and in a minute the nominee was in a maelstrom of wildiy excited and enthusi- astic residents of Rulo. A woman rushed up with a baby in her arms and managed to say that the young- ster was William Jennings Bryan Jones or some other family name. Men push d forward and said “God bless you,” and women struggled for a handshake. Mr. Bryan did not speak at Rulo, and the train pulled out amid the blowing of steam whistles and the cheering of the inhabit- ants, At Falls City nearly 500 Nebraskans were gathered at the little depot to meet Mr. Bryan, and when he appeared on the plat- form of the car he was greeted with cheers of welcome. After shaking hands with a large number Mr. Bryan said he was ex- ceedingly gratified at the reception ac- corded him on his return to his native State. He said that of all the counties in Nebraska none was more loyal than Rich- ardson County. In his two campaigns for Congress Richardson had given him a ma- jority, and he trusted that this fall she would not be behind her record of former years. He was glad to see so many of Ne- braska’s citizens present for another rea- son. He wanted the newspaper men on the train to Jook into their faces and carry the news to the East that the people of Nebraska can be trusted with the Govern- ment. Humboldt turned out a large crowd,who greeted Mr. Bryan warmly and rushed for- ward to shake hands with him. The whole population appeared to have turned out at Table Rock, and as at St. Joseph and several other places, Mrs, Bryan was deluged with flowers. An anvil salute as- sisted the great audience there in giving vent to its enthusiasm, and when Mr. Bryan, escorted by William H. Jennings, walked down the platform to a temporary dais, the people went wild. Mr. Jennings introduced Mr. Bryan, and the latter re- sponded in a feeling little speech. He said: Ladies and gentlémen—I haraly know what tosay. Isupposaa that when I came back to NebraskaI would be met by some enthusiastic {riends, who have been loyal during years past, and by some that have been endeared by ties of personal friendship; but I hardly expected that from Rulo, where we entered the Siate, to this point such continued manifestations of your affection. I came to Nebraska a young man, knowing none of you, and I eannot com- plain of what Nebraska has done for me. If I have been able to do for Nebraska some part of what she has done for me, I have done a great deal. Iowe to the Nebraska people what there hes been of my public life. Although I have been made the nominee I come back just as I came nine years ago, & private citizen, who will vie with you in pub- licas in private in doing what scems best for fixed, but it would probably be srranged to have the demonstration during the first week in August. People poured into the train at several stations and rode short distances, the het_r ter to get an opportunity to see the nomi- nee. Many ladies in addition to the Soro- sis contingent were in the Lincoln party that joined the train at Tecumseh, and as nearly all were friends of Mrs. Bryan things began to assume quite a homelike alr. A knot of people cheered at Smartville as the train whirled past, and at Sterling, where a stop of a minute was made, those assembled there gave three cheers and a tiger. One little incident occurred at Sterling was witnessed with the greatest interest by those in the car in which Mr. and Mrs, Bryan bappened to be at the time. The finger of Grace Bryan was caught under a falling window sash, and the pitiful cries of the little one brought Mrs, Bryan to its side. She took the youngster in her arms and bound the injured finger with a pocket-handkerchief, talking soothingly all the while. Mr. Bryan also did what he could to quiet the child, and theircom- bined efforts finally had the desired effect. Adams turned out 100 of its population; Firth had a contingent of enthused inhab- itants and their cheers was augmented by the steam-whistle of a roller-mill and an anvil salute. It was the same story again at Hickman, the last,stopping place be- fore reaching Lincoln. The train rolled into the Union depot at Lincoln at 7 o'clock and Mr. Bryan was given a tremendous ovation by the assem- bled thousands. e A S Refused to Indorse Bryan. CHEYENNE, Wvo., July 17.—The Pop- ulist State Convention to elect delezates to St. Lounis and nominate a State ticket was held here to-day. Buiseventeen delegates were present. The delegates elected to St. Louis are: William Brown, Sheridan County; D. A, Kingsbury, Johnson Coun- ty; James Zeniner, Albany; Henry Breit- enstein, Albany; D. H. Davis, Sweetwater; Frank Kelchum, Laramie, Resolutions instructing the delegates to indorse Bryan in the National Convention were voted down. C. W. Randall and F. M.

Y., July 17.—An appli- cation was made in the Supreme Court, before Justice Stover, to-day for an allow- ance of alimony and counsel fees for Re- becca Wentworth Belvin in the suit for absolute divorce which she has brought against her husband, William Main Bel- vin. Both of the parties are said to have been prominent in social circles here, in San Francisco and in the South. Mrs. Belvin in her complaint alleges that they have been married six years and have mno children. For some time, she says, they have been living on an elabor- ate scale here at the Fifth-avenue, Marl- borough and Cerlach hotels. They were Living in the latter hotel up to June last, when the separation ook place. The plaintiff says that her husband is a rich promoter and mine-owner, having in- terests in the Victor, Eagle and Eclipse mines in Cripple Creek and also in the Colombian Railway Company of the United States of Colombia. Ske says that their living expenses have been at least $7000 a year, and that he lately made $10,000 for promoting a company. In answer Belvin makes charges of im- morality against his wife. He denies, through his counsel, that he is interested in any of the mines mentioned and he is merely a promoter in placing stocks. He alleges that he is without means now and that there are many judgments against him which aggregate large amounts and which he is unable to pay. He says also that not long ago he gave his wife twenty-four city lots in the city of Seattle, Wash., fourteen of which she sold at $700 apiece, still retaining the other ten. Justice Stever reserved his decision. ——— REPULSED THE ROBBERS. Bandits Attacked a Mexican Hacienda and Five of Them Wers Killed.

RIOTERS CHARGED B THE MLITA Bayonets Turned Upon the Brown Hoisting Works Strikers. WOMEN JOIN THE MOB, And Several Are Wounded Dur- ing the Frequent Encoun- ters on the Streets. THE SITUATION NOW OMINOUS, It Is Feared That the Five Companies of Troops and Police Cannot Maintain Order. CLEVELAND, Oxio, July 17.—The bit- terest fight since the strike at the Brown Hoisting Works began occurred this even- ing. The strikers had been ugly all day, and many of them were injured in the several collisions of the day. The mem- bers of the mob were in a vicious mood, and whenever a lone soldier or policeman was encountered violence was attempted. The troops from 2 ». M. were constantly under arms and had great difficulty in clearing the streets. As socn as a charge was ended, however, the mob, which early in the afternoon numbered 5000, would flow back at the line of steel like a wave of the sea and again begin to hoot and throw stones. When the workmen had been taken away at 5 o’clock and the troops were returning to their guarters at the works another vengeful rally was made upon Company F. Again a charge was made and cold steel was driven home, so that many of the rioters had to be helped away. At this time some one sent in a general alarm to the police station and every patrol-wagon was soon dashing throngh the streets, causing the wildest rumors among the thousands on their way home from work. There was no need of the police re-enforce- Pments, however, and the crowd, which had been swelled to 15,000, began to melt away. It looked as though the trouble was ended, but at 7 o’clock to-night an assault was made on a soldier who was passing along Willson avenue. He fought desper- ately, as did also a policeman who hurried to his aid. A'squad of troops came to their rescue, but not before the officers had been beaten into insensibility. Again the patrol-wagons rushed to the scene and had all they could do to force a passage tbrough the angry mob. An outbreak is expected during the night. Just how many strikers were hurt is uncertain. Two, both severely stabbed with bayonets, are lying at the St. Clair Hospital. They are Thomas McGreavey and Thomas Garrety. John ‘Russell, the crippled gate-tender who was thrown from a car by the strikers Tuesday wuight, died to-day. An effortis being made to trace his assailants. Private Watchman Owen Murphy, who attempted to protect a militiaman to- night, was struck on the head with a brick, and while Iying on the ground was kicked, receiving injuries which may prove fatal. He was only saved from instant death by a charge made by Company F. There were many women in the mob, and they were the most bitter, and as they refused to move some of them were injured by bayonet thrusts. The situation at midnight is ominous. The streets about the vicinity of the works are peing patroled by soldiers and police. The works are a mile from the nearest po- lice station, and it is not considered safe to withdraw the men who have been on duty all day, although five companies of troops are on the ground. .
