HILADELPHIA, June 14.—With all work preliminary to the entertain- ment of the National Republican Conventfon . and its attendant | throngs practically accomplished, | Philadelphia is now contentedly awaiting her visitors. From the big convention hall | down to the smallest detail those charged with the responsibility feel they have the situation well in hand, and the complete- | ness of tMe preparations seems to justify | the belief. As vet, however, the hospi- | tality of the city by no means taxo(l.t There have been very few arrivals to-day, | and the lobby crowds at the hotels are composed principally of those persons in- terested in the contests with which the National Committee is wrestling on the breezy tenth floor of the Hotel Walton. The fakers. with . buttons and souvenirs, made the tering flights to-day, and decorations are béginning to appear sporadically. The | great mass of delegates are not expected until Saturday and Sunday. Office-Holders Unseated. The most interesting event in the Na-| tional Committee to-day was the seating | of the Warmouth delegates from Louisi- | ana after a spirited contest, occupyipg nearly all day. This Is an overthrow for the Federal office-holders of Louisia: ten of whom are on the delegation head- | ed by Wimberley, Collcctor of the Port of | New Orleans. Although Wimberley is a member of the National Committee and made the strongest possible presentation of the the committee, by a vote of 25 to 18, decided in favor of his opponent. | Among the men thus denied seats in the | convention is William Pitt Kell gg, form- | erly United States Senator from Louisi- | ana, who has been a delegate to every Republican convention since 1860. War- mouth and his friends, whe were success- ful to-day, represent the sugar-planting interests of Louisiana, and the claim was made before the National Committee that recognition of this fac‘ion would make it possible to elect three Republican mem- | bers of Congress in the State. { The Delaware case is in abeyance, while | the sub-committee appointed yesterday is | endeavoring to have the factions agpee. | It is understood that the Dupont-Higgins | delegates insist upon au absolute recogni- | tire delegation. while the | ‘e shown a disposition to | ons.

In- stead of being at Cheyenne to pick up the dining car, the breakfast hour was reached at Laramie. Here the delegation had a taste of an old-time eating house— and nothing one does. Just a soft botled and a good cup of coffee would have satisfied, but in- stead omelets, chops, steaks, pancakes galore, all ruined in cooking. Ho it is a good natured crowd and they soled themselves with the longer the time together the happier they will be. i To-day is Delegate George W. Reed's birthday. It duly celebrated this morning in the old-style boyish fashion of giving him an odd number of knocks. Cheyenne was reached four hours later and here the delegates procured the Den- ver papers, which told of Governor Gage's message to Secretary Hay about "the plague. That afforded conversation for the morning. Politics without the political pot boiling is no business. So if for no other reason than for appearance sake, Vice Chairman George C. Pardee, at the request of se eral delegates, requested the secretary, Edgar D. Peixotto, to call a meeting of | the delegates on the train for 3 in the Promptly at that hour all as- sembled in M. A. Gunst's drawing room. Every one seemed glad to meet the other in actual business. Alas, there was none. All agreed that to transact any business until all had an opportunity to be present would be unpolitic and unfair. It was therefore formally resolved to do nothing until reaching Philadelphia and then do everything possible for the good of the Republicans_of California in particular and of the United States in general. The tide seems to steadily flow in favor of Judge Van Fleet for National Committee- man. At Grand TIsland, Nebr., the train made quite a halt, long enough for the dele- gates to have a chat with many of the populace who were ot the station to wel- come and speed the travelers on their way. From the cheering and what was said to many of the delegates the assur- ance may be positively and absolutely given that W, J. Bryan will not have the unanimous vote of Nebraska—in fact, so they say, he will not have the electoral vote of his own State at all. And this is nothing new. The train is making mammoth strides to gain lost time. Being behind does not mean late for Philadelphia, only a shorter time in Chicago, and some of the dele- gates are unkind enough to say they are glad of that. = omeates KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS IN SEEMING HARMONY Absence of the Bitterness That Char- acterized Their Last State Convention. LOUISVILLE, June 14.—Characterized by harmony, In marked contrast with the feeling that prevailed one year ago when the Democrats of Kentucky met in Music Hall to select a nominee for Governor, was to-day’s scene, the first since the memorable fight of 1889 In Music Hall. The object of to-day's convention was to select delegates from the State at large to the National Convention at Kansas City. ‘When Chairman A. Young of the State Committee rapped for order and asked for a nomination for l(‘mpnrarfi' chairman but one name was presented, that of Hon: Ollie M. James of Marion, and he was elected by acclamation. Mr. James said he considered it an es- pecial honor to preside over a convention of Democrats favorable to Bryan and to Goebel, and who would abhor the assassination of public officials for the gratification of political and official greed. Pointing to the picture of the de- ceased Governor of Kentucky, which was suspended over the platform, Mr. James said that, like William Goebel, he had rather be'in the grave than be a fugitive from justice like the Republican, W. S. Taylor. This brought the delegates to their feet and they cheered long and lust- ily. Chairman James said that “the civil | liberty which the Republicans of Ken- | tucky are so earnestly advocating is the right of the mountaineers to shoot down with immunity Democratic office-holders of the State.” Governor Beckham addressed the con- | vention, his remarks being of a purely local and personal nature. There were | speeches by Congressman Wheeler, ex- Congressman James B. McCreery and others. The convention then adjourned till 7:30 p. m. DELEGATES INSTRUCTED [ TO VOTE FOR BRYAN Georgia Democrats Name Their Rep- | resentatives and Nominate & State Ticket. 2 | ATLANTA, June 14.—Georgia's delega- ticn to the Kansas City Convention, which | was chosen by the State Democratic Con- | vention here to-day, was instructed :to cazt its vote for W. J. Bryan. The fol- lowing are the delegates from the State at large: Boykin Wright of Augusta, J. J. Spalding of Atlanta, Wylle B. Burnett of Athens and Lewis F. Garrard of Co- lumbus. A State ticket was nominated, headed by Allen D. Candler for Governor. The State election will take place in Oc- tober. The platform which the conven- tion adopted indorsed Bryan and the Chi- cago platform of 1896; declares against the: national policies of the Republicans; fa- vors election of United States Senators by the people; favors the Nicaragua canal; | denounces the gold standard; demands re- | peal of the war revenue act; condemns trusts; advocates tariff for revenue only, and the repeal of the presemi tariff act; condemns the imperialistic policy of the Republican party; denounces a large standing army; condemns the Porto Rican tariff act; favors expansion by all reas n- able and practical means, but condemns the present policy regarding the acquisi- tion of foreign territory; commends acts of bravery and gallantry of the soldiers and sailors of the United States and de- mands the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on State banks. : .

The fight lasted four | hours and several personal injected into the debate. The following delegates-at-large were | elected: Ex-Governor Stone, Governor Lon V. Stephens, David A. Bali and W. H. Phelps. The delegates were instructed to vote for the re-election of National Com- mitteeman W. J. Stone. e o EXORBITANT HOTEL RATES. | Most Important Problem Confronting the Democrats.

The committee will decide finally on arrangements for the national | convention in July. Mr. Jones visited the convention hall, in course of erection, and talked with the local committees on arrangements. cussed will be the charge that exorbitant rates are being asked by the hotel pro- prietors. National Committeeman Cam- pau of Michigan also arrived, and to- gether they visited the hall.

Moser this afternoon applied to Judge Rodden for a warrant for the arrest of his neighbor on a charge of threats against his life, Moser claiming that since the trouble Edwards has sworn to Kkill him.

MONTEREY, June 14.—Two insane men were examined by the Monterey County Lunacy Commission yesterday. One, who gave his name as W. F. Ollard, was found in the mountains about twenty miles south of this city by Deputy Sheriff Coch- ran. When examined he appeared per- fectly rational.

Little Credence Placed in the Story, but the Indians Are Holding | a Ghastly ‘“Sorrow Dance.” —_— Special Dispatch to The Call. VICTORIA, B. C., June 14.—Interest in the fate of the sealing schooner Pioneer, and has long been given up for lost, has been revived by the receipt of news that the Siwashes of the west coast are cele- brating a sorrow dance for the tribesmen news comes in a letter from a correspond- ent on the west coast. The writer states that through some means the Siwashes claims to have in- formation that the schooner had been found a derelict, with her masts and rud- der gone. Grewsome features are added | to that tale in details, the Indians alleg- ing that the skeletons of all the crew were found aboard the floating hulk. Si- wash stories are notoriously unreliable, and little credence will be given the story | in_conseauence. It is most improbable that the vessel would float for the length of time the | Pioneer has been classed as missing. If she ‘did float she would almost certainly, in such a period, have drifted across the track of some steamer. The Indians, however, are quite certain that the relic of the seas has been recov- ered and are celebrating the event with Vim and energy. The women especially are inflicting tortures upon themselves to sig- nify their sorrow and have scratched and Jacerated their faces and bodies until they are in a terrible condition. The Siwashes are too excited and their knowledge of English is too limited to obtain anything like a connected idea of whence they have derived their information. The Ploneer, once known as the Path- finder, was last seen in Unimak Pass late in October of 1898, by one of the local fleet, which, like the Pioneer, was then heading homeward after the season's hunting in the Bering Sea. The story of her long delay, of the report of a terrible storm by the schooners which left Un- alaska about the same time, of the anx- fous waiting of owners and friends of those on board, and finally *of her being posted as lost, 'are all familiar to those interested in the craft which ply to and from this port and to seamen generally. The schooner was under the command of Captain Lock, and in addition to Si- washes carried the following crew: McLean, steward; John Hines. W. Far- rell of Esquimalt and J. W. Smith of Shel- burne, N.
