CHICAGO, ILL., July 30.—THKe National Republican executive committee members ere all at their desks again to-day and did a lot of work, much of which was either of no public interest or was not given out.

The published story of thé removal of the headquarters from Chicago to Cleve- lana, because of alleged factional fighting 7 between the machine men in Cook County in Illinois and the original McKinley men and the friction between the State and National committees, was vigorously and generally denied by the head- quarters officials as Without founaa- tion.

The fact that the nominstion had been made has been kept secret even from the | . most intimate associates of his Holiness, and upon its becoming krown occasioned l' a general feeling of surprise.

Fatal Accident Befatls Joseph Grebler of Minnesota. LIMA, Oxio, July 30.—A fatal accident to a rider occurred at the bicycle races yesterday in the hali mile professional. The entries were large and ‘‘unlucky’’ was remarked begfore the start was made. They got away in nice order and at the quarter were bunched, with Cooper lead- ing. At this point Joseph Greblef came to the front. He was on.the oatside and all eyes were on him, when it was noticed that instead of making the turn, he ;swerved and his wheel shot up an em- bankment. The rider was thrown into the air and came down on his head, frac- turing his skull, death resulting orfe hour later. He was riding for tge Dayton Bicycle Company and lived in Minnesota. WL PROTECTSETTLERS New Patents to Be Issued for Lands Erroneously Sold - by Railroads. The Union Pacific Company ‘Agrees to Pay the Cost of All Addi. tional Suits. WASBINGTON, D. C., July 30.—The United States officials have taken im- portant action in regard to the Union Pacific Railroad lands. The Secretary of the Interior recommended to Attorney- General Harmon the dismissal of a number of suits now pending in the United States courts of Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado and Utab againsi the Union Pacific and about 10,000 settlers along the line of the road to recover title to lands said to have been erroneously patented to the company. These lands were supposed to be em- braced within the limits of the grant made by Congress to the company and were patented to it some years ago. The settlers whose title homesteads have since been in litigation purchased their land from the company and secured the neces- sary patents. But the land office after issuing the patents, made tie cision that they were worthless, company, as the land office claimed, was not entitled to the lands deeded, and, therelore, certification had been erroneons, Then the Interior Department began suit to recover theselands. Under the law in force prior to March 3, 1896, it was necessary, in order that title counld be re- covered, to include the settlers as defend- ants in these suits. The act passed on the date above named, however, provides that the Government might enter suit against the railroad company for the value of the lands found to have been erroneously cer- tified and that innocent purchasers from the railway compauny might receive new patents upon filing proof that they were innocent purchasers. General Solicitor Kelly of the Union Pa- cific Company has been in Washington for several days, and bas agreed, on behalf of the company, to pay the cost of the pres- ent suit and thus relieve the settlers of all expenses. If the Attorney-General approves the recommendation of the Interior Depart- ment (as it is believed he will) the present suits will be dismissed and new suits will be brought against the company alone to recover the value of land. eantime, pat- ents will be issued to the settlers upon their filing the proof required by the act of March 3,°1896, and they will thus be quieted in their. title, ANARCHISIS WIIHDRAW. So the Socialist Trades Congress Pro- cerds to Business. LONDON, Exg., July 20.—The fourth day’s session of the International Social- ist Trades Congress, which Is meeting in St. Martin’s Town Hall in this city, man- aged to-day to put aside the disputes which have characterized the former pro- ceedings and transact & little business, the first of the session, aside from fight- ing over the question of the admassion of anarchists. The session to-day was presided over by Banor Ferreri, an Italian delegate. Aftsr a little mild-mannered discussion the cre- dentials question was dropped and the anarchisis who have made a bitter fight for admission withdrew. The congress then proceeded to the discussion of the agrarian question. M. Vanderveld, a Belgian delegate, read a paper on behalf of M. Delory, the Bocialist mayor of Lille, France, who was suspendea from office for having been concerned in the receut rioting in that city on the occasion of the LONDON, Exa., July 30.—The unofficial | arrival there of German delegates to a So- that Sir Matthew White Ridgley, the Home Secretary, had ordered that Dr. Jameson and: the other prisoners, swho were sentenced to various terms of im- report circulated last evening to the effect | C'alist con gress.

TORONTO, Ostario, July 80.—The con- stitution of Canada requires that members of a new administration shall present themselves to their constituents for re- class misdemeanants, turns out to have been incorrect. p In tne House of Commons to-day, Patrick O’'Brien, Parnellite member for | the city of Kilkenny, asked for informa- tion on the subject, which was furnished by tbe Home Secretary. Sir Matthew said that the court alone had the power to Hi order the prisoners to be treated as first- election. Consequently elections were held to-day in a number of constituencies, which are represented by members of the recently formed Liberal Government. The Hon., W. Laurier, the new Premier, con- " tested the District of Quebec {(East) and was returned without opposition. The following were also returned without op- position: Sir Richard Cartwright, Minis- ter of Trade and Commerce, South Oxford Ont.; the Hon. Sidney Fisher, Minister of Agriculture for Brome, Quebpec, and the Hon. William Mullock, Postmaster-Gen- eral for North York, Ont. Bir Henry Jolly, Minister of Inland Revenne, was re- turned for Port Neunf, Quebec, and Hon. ‘W. F. Borden, Minister of Militia, was re- turned for Kings, N, B, class misdemeanants. No such order has been issued by the court, and hence the convicted men would be treated as ordinary prisoners.

STATES ARE ORGANIZING Representative Democrats Many Sections to Attend the Convention. 4 of THE CANDIDATES MENTIONED. Assurances That the Public Will See the Fallacy of the Free-Silver Movem:nt. CHICAGO, Irn, July 80.—Chairman Bragg to-day called a meeting of the pro- visional National executive commistee of the sound-money Democracy at the Palmer House next Saturday to consider the work done by the sub-committee on State organization and selection of the remaining National committeemern for the Indianapolls meeting. Several more States reported to-day by felegraph that they had been partly organized for the new movement. George Wochs of Chattanooga tele- graphed: *Active steps for a third ticket are now under way. Tennessse sound- money Democrats are in earuest and will be at Indianapolis.” Hon. J. F. Provine, a prominent Demo- crat of Coffeyville, Miss., sent word: “The third ticket will have some support here.” Ex-8tate Senator C. B. Pendleton of Key West sent a message to say that Colonel Shipley, a candidate for the United States Senate, who had thrown cold water on the movement in Florida, was mistaken, and udding that gold Democrats were numerous in that State. ‘Wiliiam Everett of Quincy, Mass., wrote: “I believe J. Sterling Morton is the man for President. He is sound on gold; he is sound on the tariff; he is a devoted civil service reformer. He 1s for economy; he knows every part of the couniry and he represents the administration.” J. J. Hussler, United States Lind Agent at Enid, 0. T., wrote to say that he would g0 as a delegate from the Territory to the convention, and believed the movement was the only way to “kill the silver craze.” . V. Holman of Rockiand, Me., who is almost daily heard from, wired: “Re- celving enthusiastic responses from ali over Maine.” Hon. J. A. Faulkner has been designated as the provisional member of the National Committee from Alabama. Hon. J. Van Alen of Newport, R. I, who was .ominated by President Cleve- land for the Italian Mission, wired tbat he would do ual:ium“ in his power with icket Democrats of Rhode Edward Atkinson, the Boston writer on political economy, wrote to General Bragg, offering his services as a speaker for the third ticket. He said: ‘“‘Although I am nearly 70, I am strongly inclined to come out West in October to make a few speeches.”” The sound money Democrats of Mich- igan telegraphed that John S. Lawrence of Grand Rapids had been named as the pro- visional committéeman. Ex-Congressman William S. Forman of East Bt. Louis, a member of the 1llinois executive committee, arrived to-day. He said: “It seems to me the Democratic sound money men should be given some- thing to cling to until this free silver craze has had its run. Free silver will not win. The American people will see through that fallacy before election day. Of course, this new ticket movement wilj belp McKinley, but it is in the Nation’s interest. I am for a Western man for President, Senator Palmer and William R. Morrison.”™ KANSAS CITY, Mo.,July 30.—Two hun- dred or more sound-money Democrats met at the Coates House to-night and perfected the orgamization of the National Demo- cratic Club of Jackson County, with Judge Black as president. Judge Krauthoff, who represented Missouri at the Chicago con- ference, made a report. Cleveland’s name was wildly cheered. A towuship organiza- tion of Kansas City and the county will be at once undertaken. MARSHA LLTOWN, Iowa, July 30.—A conference of sound - money Democrats has been called to meet at Des Moines on Angust 5 to seiect a State committeeman to attend the conference in Indianapolis, RSN S NOMINEE BRYAN PRESENT. That the Only Interesting Feature of a Democratic Committee Meeting. LINCOLN, NepR., July 30.—A meeting at the Lincoln Houel to-night of the Dem- ocratic State Central Committee was made interesting by the presence of Nomines Bryan. Ostensibly the meeting was calied tuerely for the purpose of fixing tha date for the State Convention of the party, but the general understanding was that the situation in the State was to be discussed with a view of determining the strength of the Bryan and Sewall forces, and also to consider the guestion of fusion with the Populists. Yesterday’s county conven- tions of the Populists indicated the desire of that party in Nebraska to support Brysn and Sowall in exchange for the Democratic indorsement of most of the Populist candidates for State offices, and it was the prevailing impression thav Mr. Bryan was wanted to give his viewson that point. It should be said, however, that Mr. Bryan had decided to attend the meeting more than a week ago. 1t was 8:30 o’clock before the committee sssembled. Mr. Bryan did not appear at the Lincoln until that hour, ang out of courtesy to0 him the committee was not calied to order prior to hisarrival. He was immediately surrounded- by commit- teeman and had plenty of handshaking for a few minutes. This was a busy day at the candidate's residence, for in addition to members of the Democratic State Committee he bad numerous other callers. At luncheon Mr. and Mrs. Bryan had as their gnest C. A, Walsh of Ottumwa, Iows, the temporary secretary of the Democratic National Committee. The committee spent an hour and a half listening to reports from its mem- bers as to the prospects for 8 Democratic victory in their various districts. Quite a Tosy view was given by most of the speakers. In substance the testimony was to the effect that the defeciion from the ranks of the party in the State was too small to be considered, while a number of the committeemen told of Republicans who had joined Bryan clubs or who had otherwise deciared for the Chicago ticket. Many of those who made reports admit- ted that the German population of Ne- braska seemed unfavorable to free coinage. It was claimed that this was due prin- cipally to the fact that nearly all the Ger- man newspapers are for gold, and sug- gestions were made that German speak- ers and silver campaign literature in German should be sent to the towns and settlements having a large population from the fatherland. Some reference was made to the Bohemian vote, mostly favor- able to the Democratic ticket. Among those who addressed the com« mittee were Judge Ambrose and Judge Duffy, formerly on the district bench of the State. Judge Ambrose said he had been a Republican all his life, but had parted company with that political faith. He bad always been taught to believe that the Republican party was for bimetallism, be said, bat he had found out his mistake and placed nimself in the hands of the central committee to do its bidding on the stump or in any other capacity. Judge Duffy admitted that while a Republican most of his life he had voted for Cleveland and he was now ready to take off his coat and work for the election of Bryan. Mr. Bryan took no part in _this discus- sion, and when it was concluded he and the other members of the committee, after those who had attended the meeting by conrtesy had withdrawn, held an executive session to talk over the executive work of the campaign. Mr. Bryan remained with the commit- tee a few minutes ouly. He made a few remarks concerning the necessity for party work and then withdrew and went home. The coinmittee talked incidentally over the question of fusion with Populists, but cume to no conclusion. Omaha was se- lected as the place for holding the State Convention. The date was left to the ex- ecutive committee for arrangements, and the sentiment expressed in debate exhib- ited a desire to have it after the Populist and Congressional conventions had taken place. It will probably occur during the last week in August. —_— TOM WATSO0MN'S OPINION, Sewall Must Retire or the Populists Will Put Up Another Ticket. ATLANTA, Ga., July 30.—Tom Watson, the candidate of the Populists for Vice- Presiaent, telegraphed to the Constitution this morning as follows: “In the event that Sewall does not retire the Populists will put out a fuil electoral ticket, There can be no fusion unless Sewall withdraws. I give you this merely as my;opinion.” He sends a second telegram,in which he announces the executive commitiee will determine all these questions, and perbaps the State conventions will do it, and declares that he stands by his letter to the Augusta Chronicle, in which he stated that unless Sewall retired there would be two plans for action. One was two distinct electoral tickets, and a second electoral ticket, composed largely of Demo- crats and partly of Populists. He con- cludes his telegram to-day by the statement: *My own judgment is that we must run a full electoral ticket unless Sewall retires.” ¥ ST THE NATIONAL PARTY. Plans Presented for an Aetive and Vig- orous Campaign. CLEVELAND, Oxro, July 30.—The Na- tionz]l Executive Ccmmittee of the Na- tional party was in session herdto-day. Plans were presented for an active and vigorous campaign throughout the coun- try. Ex-Governor St. John will at once begin a month’s canvass of Ohioand Penn- sylvania. Mr. Bentley will speak up to election, His first appointment will be in Indiana. Mr. Thomas, Mr. Southgate and others will also begin campaign work im- mediately. Arrangements were made for a wide distribution of literature. 5 The following resolution was adopted without dissent: WHEREAS, The statement is being indus- triously circulated that the National party has been approached with propositions looking to fusicn upon platforms and candidates not un- compromisingly committed to the broad re- form priuciples for which our party stands, it is hereby declared by the National Executive Commitee that the National party will per- sistently and consistently pursue the purposes for which it was organized, and holding itself clear from all entangling aud eompromising alliances, will steadily support each and all of the reforms for which its platform declares, its candidates, Charles E. Bentley for President and James H. Southgate for Vice-President. R LR SILVERITES ARE FVERY SORE, “Kick?” Ocer the Indorsement of the Ie- publican Candidates. DENVER, Coro., July 30.—Every daily newspaper in the city condemns the con- duct of the majority of the Republican State Committee for their action of yester- da; indorsing McKinley and Hobart. The fact has been shown that the Denver men who held proxies for remote counties secured theln'Pby misrepresentation and their action will not be indorsed. Leading business men all deplore the effect tuis action will produce, and they vredict a defeat of the Republican State ticket and the return to power of the Populists, When the country press and the mining districts are heard from the protests will be most pronounced. It is given out on good authority that Senator Wolcott really desires to secure the gubernatorial nomin- ation for the purpese of vindicating him- self and to secure a proper recognition in Colorado of the Republican National ticket, The chief cause for protest is because of the misleading effect of this action in the East, the Bilverites fearing that their cause will thereby be jeopardized. The effort to call the State committee together again at an early date to repudiate the action of yesterday will be stron ly pushed. COLORADO SPRINGS, Cor., July 30.— The general ovinion of the majority of Republicans in this city in regard to the action of the State committee yesterday is that the majority did right {n declaring for the National ticket. While they are for union on a Btate Republican tickei, they think the State organization should be preserved in the hands of McKinley Republicans. Democrats now hope strongly for the election of a straight Democratic ticket. —_— Dr. Morton for Congress. COLUMBUS, Oxio, July 80.—The Demo- crats of the Thirteenth District at Marion to-day nominated Dr. J. Morton of Tiffin for Congress and indorsed the Chicago platiorm. —_— Cousina Renominated. CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, July 30.— Congressman Robert G. Cousins was to- rhi{ unanimously renominated by the Fiith Districc Republican convention. 4 Despondent Driver’s Aok BUTTE, Mosr., July 30.—Dan Law- rence, the well-known rucehorse driver, attempted to commit suicide to-day in the grandstand of the racecourse. He had taken morpbine ana laudenum and was unconscious when found, but physicians arrived in time and will probably save him. He had lost heavily on the races and at faro. FOR FUSION WITH THE DEMOCRATS, Populists Who Are Ready to Share the Spoils of Office. SPLITTING UP TICKETS. Leaders in Missouri and North Dakota Are Afraid to Go It Alone. S0 A BOURBON TRADE IS ON. dtforms That Favor the Issuance of Greenbacks and Free Siiver Coinage. ° SEDALIA, Mo., July 30.—The Populist convention, which met this morning, elected 8. A. Wright of Springfield per- manent chairman; J, Weller Long of Kansas City, vice-chairman; M. V. Car- roll of Lamas, secretary, and Cyrus Pax- son of Kickock County, assistant -secre- tary. The convention decided to put a tull State and electoral ticket in the field and to clothe the Btate Central Committee with extraordinary power by authorizing it to form a fusion ticket if deemed neces- sary. On account of the power invested in the State Committee that committee has been doubled. Chairman Wright in his speech stated that he believed that the Populists couid elect Watson Vice-President, and that they should have their man on the ticket or lose the whole thing. The sentiment of a large majority of the delegates is for forcing such a fusion as will give them the vote for Vice-President. The platform favors the issmance of greenbacks; opposes the issue of bonds; declares that all mortgaged property should be assesses to mortgagor and mort- gagee in equal proportions; demands tha tenactment of laws to enable poor families o secure public lands and to prevent aliens from owning lands in the United States; also favors a law to puta stop to pauper immigration. It declares in favor of a constitutional amendment to revise article V of the constitutlon. The committée on resolutions has pre- pared an address, which will be read to the convention to-morrow, to suggest plans for fusion with the Democrats. The committes adjourned at 10:20 o’clock to- night. oL FUSION WITH DEMOCEAZS. ° How the State Officers Are Divided in North Dakota. FARGO, N. D., July 30.—The Populist convention met at 9 o’clock this morning, and the report submitted last night by the fusion committee to diviae up offices be- sween Populists and Democrats was adopted. This gives the Populists the office of Governor, Secretary of State, Au- ditor, Commissioner of Agriculture, Judge of the Supreme Court, three Presidential Electors and two of the three Railroad Commissioners. The Democrats were al- lotted Congressman, Lieutenant-Governor, Treasurer, Attorney-General, Commis- sioner of Insurance, Superintendent of Public Instruction and one Railroad Com- missioner. The platform indorses the nominees of the National Populist party, declares for silver at 16 to 1, favors prohibition, union labor,and woman suffrage.

Y., July 30.—A Wash- ington special to the Herald says: China“, is trying to secure internaiional co-opera- tion in the matter of the destruction of de- relicts. The l'avy Department officials earnestly hope that China's evident de- sires in this matter will be fultilled. Under Commander Sigsbee, chief of the hydrographic office of the department, repeated efforts have been made to secure the co-operation of England in de- stroying derelicts in the tracks of the trans- Atlantic steamers, but Great Britain has not evidenced any anxiety to adopt the suggestions of Commander Sigsbee, and the matter has consequently lagged. With the co-operation of al! the Govern- ments, however, the seas would soon be cleared of these menaces to navigation. NEW TO-DAY.
