He and his | followers took everything that they went | for, and from the first rap of the gavel | to the putting out of the lights there was | no time when they did not have the sit- uation well in hand. They had a hard fight before the committee on credentials in the effort to save the delegations of Jackson and Carroll counties and came from the. committee-room beaten men. They expected to haye six out of eleven members of the committee, but in the morning caucus they fell one short of that | number and the vote in the committes went against them in both cases by a vote of five to six. This defeat was of no particular consequence, however, as they had the strength gn the floor of the con- vention to seat their men whenever the question ecame up. They won their fight on the first ballot takén in the conven- tion and from that time to the finish there was never the slightest doubt of the ulti- | mate rekuit. In Bed Political Odor. The members of the steering commit- | tee, who bad decided to make their fight with Harriman as their candidate, came into the convention in bad political odor. The morning break of the Herriott rem- nant had convinced them that they had little chance. The first blow they received was when the Cummins men took control of the committee on permanent organiza- tion. The steering committee had counted with confidence on organizing the conven- | tion and had declared over and over again that their best chance for winning with Harriman Jay in this direction. Wh once they had the organization, they said, ey would proceed to name the nominees, They failed utterly to place their men in | the make-up of the regular organization, and when Permanent Chairman Bye: | who is a strong Cummins man, took up the official gavel his first blow drove home the last nail in the coffin of the commit- tee. They had previously been knocked | out of the report of the credentials com- | mittee and from that time on it was sim- | ply a question of waiting for the heasse | that would carry them away. The ballot showed: Cummins, 860; Trewin, 369%: Harriman, 358%; Conger. 42; Herriott, 8; Mahon, 2 | The nomination of Cummins was made* | unanimous. | Deal Fixed With Crimmins’ Men. | Although Herriott and all his personal following denied up to the time the con- vention opened that he would take any- | thing on the ticket less than first place, there is no doubt now that the deal was ®ntinue;from Page One. e o S 2 S e e e e Y ) (TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS | PRISONER 1S CLOSELY GUARDED IOWA REPUBLICANS NOMINATE CUMMINS Convention Completes Ticket and Places at Its Head a Prominent Lawyer Who Has Been Twice Beaten for the Senate ] i | e < + | i NOMINEE OF THE REPUBLI- | | CAN CONVENTION OF IOWA | | FOR GOVERNOR. | > o+ LA 2 fixed with the Cummins men and that the delivery of the last Ninth District dele- gates to Cummins this morning was a step in the interchange of votes.

Career of the Candidate. A. B. Cummins has been a conspicuous | figure in public life for fourteen years. In 1892 he was made temporary chairman of the Republican State Convention as an assurance to the anti-prohibitionists that | they would no ionger be proscribed by the | Republican party. Next year he was a | candidate for United States Senator, mak- fRgeugps friends, butJobn EH. Gedr was ted, In 1896 he was made a member | the Republican National Committee, A | very popular speaker, he has been con- | spicuous in nearly every campaign and | has won numerous admirers, who follow | him with intense devotion. His second | campaign for the Senatorship, two years ago, in which he was again defeated by John H. Gear, resulted in the formation of a powerful organization in his interest. | Cummins is a successful lawyer. He was | born in Pennsylvania in 1850. His ulti- | mate goal is the Senate, where he hopes | some day to succeed Allison. Continued From Page One. expressed his indignation at the injustice | done him. He said he had been working | 2 mine in Sierra County for some time and had eight men in his service. He Lad not been near the Selby works since he left the penitentiary. He had purchased a pump for his mine some time ago, but found it was too small and he came to the city to purchase a larger pump. Tha first thing he knew about the robbery was | when he saw it in the papers yesterday morning when ne reached Port Costa cn the train coming to the city. He was etopping at the Russ House and thought that in justice to himself his statement | should be made known. He was also in- | censed_that his name should have been | coupled with that of “Sir” Harry West- wood Coorer, a8 he had never spoken to him in San Quentin for the simple reason | that they were both kept in solitary con- finement. | Confidential Man Involved. | Then come all sorts of rumors from the smelting works. It is whispered about | that one high in_authority is watched | carefully by the detectives and that he | has been called to San Francisco, but Superintendent von der Ropp denies this. | He says that no suspicion is cast upon | any of the employes occupying positfons of trust and confidence. Every day the | belief grows stronger and stronger that { some one who was close to the inner workings of the business at the works was implicated in the crime. The exact mnd precise knowledge of the underlying conditions and circumstances connected { with the deposit of the gold in the vaults | has impressed many with an indelible be- lef in the guilt of some trusted employe. The police are certainly keeping all under a quiet, unnoticed surveillance. Another clew which the detectives are | trying to run down has an Eastern color to it and the men concerned are supposed to be fake insurance solicitors. For some days these men have been in the neigh- borhood, hanging around the barrooms. This_has gone on until Monday, since which time they have disappeared. On this also are the detectives rgminating. The theories of escape are falling back gradually to the original inion that water furnished the medium. = At first it was generally thought that the gold bricks left on the rocks was a ruse to in- dicate falsely that the hurried departure was by boat. Now the conjecture prac- ticers will have it that a double-cross was intended by the robbers—that by leav'ng the gold their pursuers would imaginc the meat-marketer. The small plercing eves and the mustache Riley noticed as the man walked along the road morning after morning, his clothes covered with freshly unearthed sand. Taylor was held a somewhat dangerous man, not on ac- count of his evil ways, but because of his keen ability with the revolver. He can shoot, this man, and he was for- ever practicing with the gun. Last night as he tossed and twisted and turned he had three revolvers primed and loaded close to his body, but they were not for his use. Taylor was the live subject of a long watch, deathlike in its utter quiet- ness, MAY HARNESS WATER ON MOUNT HAMILTON Preparations Are Being Made to Utilize the Power for Elec- trical Purposes. SAN JOSE, Aug. 7.—The immense pro- ject to harness the waters of the Mount Hamilton water shed and generate elec- tric power to be furnished San Francisco corporations was given a 1ook of earnest- ness to-day by the filing of three notices of intention to use the water for that pur- pose by R. G. Hanford of San Francisco, Hanford recently purchased these water rights from C. W. Quilty of this city for Pepper & Register of Philadelphia, and hig scheme included the erection of a big tmq;)undlng dam and power works in Cai- averas Valley and a transmission of the power to San #rancisco by a wire line. 1t is claimed the promoters of the scheme are figuring on furnishing power for an electric rallway system around the bay. In the three notices filed to-day Han- ford gives notice he intends to utilize 1200 miner’s inches of water per second from the San Ysabel Creek, 1000 inches each from the Smith and Bonita creeks. The purposes set forth for which the water is to be used are for irrigatfon, development and generation of mechanical, electrical or other J)ower and for all purposes to which said water and power may be used 1t is announced that the water is to be conveyed in flumes, not to exceed threo feet by three feet in size, and water plpes adequate for the cpurpose. to the upper portion of the Calaveras Valley, on a quarter section of land adjoining the ‘cnrelululy pigeonholed by the police, | mere accident the Coroner heard of the | case and after he had made an official in- | vestigation did not hesitate to say that a | brutal murder had been committed. | the | body was found to-day | Perki i point that they did this to divert the suspicion of a water escape | ranch of J.

GHOPPED BODY IN THE TRUNK Seattle Coroner Finds Ghastly Evidence of a Orime, Grewsome Indications That a Young Girl Was Mur- dered. A Ry Bpecial Dispatch to The Call SEATTLE, Aug, 7.—Seattle’s st of un- solved murder mysteries was,increased te=day by a discovery made yesferday but By The victlm was a young girl and her body was chopped to pleces and then burled in an old trunk eight miles south of Seattle. The trunk was discovered during’ the %radlng for the new race course. At the time the trunk was burted that part of the county was a lonely spot and as the place of burlal was not very far from the banks of the Duwamish River the murderer could have safely. rowed to the bank, burfed his vietim and then escaped in the darkness: Coroner Hoye says it would be impos- sible to have got the body into the trunk except by cutting it to pleces. From the appearance of the bones the Coroner is satisfied that the murderer, after brutally killing his victim, cut her body and placed it In the trunk in order that | he would have an opportunity to leave the country. Clinging to the bones was cloth which was at first thought to be a remnant of a gunny sack. It was ob- served that the cloth was closely woven, which Jeads the Coroner to believe that the cloth was a blanket. There was hair on the skull and there was evidence that it had been abundant and of auburn or reddish color. The hair was thickly matted about the skull. After ascertaining all possible facts in case Coroner Hoye destroyed the trunk and the skull and larger bones of the body were brought to the city. The rest were buried not far from the race- track. “There is not the least bit of doubt that an awful crime was committed,” sald Coroner Hoye. “The bones are those of a young girl, T should say not over four- teen years of age. The trunk in which they were found was so small that jt would be impossible to place the body there without first cutting it to pleces. The body had evidently been buried about four years.” Another Body Found in the Ruins. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 7. — Another in the ruins of Monday night’s explosion in Locust street, | making a total of eight fatalities as a re- sult of the disaster. The body found to- day was that of an unknown negro about 50 years of age. His remains were found sitting upright in a chair in the debris of the Jones restaurant. It is belleved that all the victims have now been recovered. Dentist Falls From a Wall. PETALUMA, Aug. 7.—Dr. Charles O. a dentist of this city, lies at the death as the result of a fall from a high wall at his home last night. While walking on the wall he lost his balance | and fell on a cement walk, striking his head. HONORS ARE EVEN IN THE STRIKE OF WORKERS IN STEEL TRUST MILLS Amalgamated Association Succeeds in Closing the Big Plant at Newcastle, and the Billion-Dollar United States Corporation Partly Breaks the Strike at the Clark Mill in Pittsburg ITTSBURG; Aug. 7.—In the big steel strike honors are easy in this section to-night. The Amal- gamated Association succeeded in closing down the big steel plant at Newcastle, and the manufacturers partly broke the strike at the Clark mill in this.city: Nelther side Is exulting, nor is ther€ any expression of discouragement. Up to this hour not the slightest trouble has occurred at any point in this imme- dlate territory and the Amalgamated of- ficials are correspondingly happy, because this condition would seem to be the car- rying out of the association’s new de- parture in the handling of the strike situ- ation. The quiet walting of the strikers may be one of the surprises hinted at by the natlonal officers. From one or two points the strikers are reported as rest- less and eager for action, but o far they have kept faith with their leaders and re- fralned from committing any breach of the peace. The United States Steel Corporation, it was learned to-day from gn official source, will at once proceed in a systematic man- ner to start its closed sheet mills, mak- ing the non-unfon plants of the Kiski- menetas Valley the cradle where the strike-breakers will be tralned and then sent out to the mills that are closed. No Overtures Will Be Made. So far as President C. M. Schwab is concerned no overtures will be made by the trust to the workers. In a talk with a Pittsburg man in New York yesterday he sald: “We have made our last proposi- tion to the Amalgamated Assoclation, and will now proceed to start our works. President Shaffer makes this counter- statement: “The next proposition must come from the United States Steel Cor- poration officials. Thus the two stand. It seems as if only outside efforts can bring them together. The trust officials have decided to go ahead slowly in the matter of starting mills and to do so with as little publicity as possible. The strongholds of the sheet company are the mills at Vandergrift, the largest in the country; Leechburg, Apolio and Scottdale. It has been decided to take as many skilled men away from these places as possible without retarding oper- ations there and start the mills where there is the least danger of an outbreak. The places left vacant at the mills men- tioned will be filled with men deserving of promotion and they will be given better positions. This movement will be under- taken slowly and with caution. The plan further contemplates that after a time many of the strikers will return when they see one after another of the closed | mills resuming. Plan Is Found Feasible. This plan was tested the first time this week and was found to be feasible, so far as the mills at Hyde Park and Wellsville go, and it has been decided to adopt it so far as the sheet and hoop mills are con- cerned. Plans for the starting of the closed tin plate mills have not been contemplated. | In this branch the situation is different. The tin plate company has only six of its 232 roll trains going, while the sheet company has a few less than half. The officials of the Amalgamated Asso- ciation say this movement will in a meas- ure play into their hands. At McKees- port President Shaffer said that he him- self would lead from Vandergrift into the { 1 i Wood mill. The officials feel that if they ( can get the Vandergrift men away from thelr environment, very little trouble will be found in bringing them into the as- sociation. In discussing the plan of the trust, As- sistant Secretary M. F. Tighe sald: “That effort will not extend ve far, because there are only a few-skilled men avallable, and before enough can be trained to operate mills snow will gretty thick. A move of that kind might e made in Bessemer or open hearth steel mills, but in a sheet mill, where the skill required is of the highest order, the lan cannot do anything except ultimate- | v fall. A sort of showing may be made for a time, but it will not last long. Stand of Structural Men. The action of the structural ironwork- ers was tersely outlined by J. W. Pryall. secretary of the Bridge and Structural Ironworkers’ Union, who said to-day: ‘““There are no union mills making struc- tural steel or iron, and all our men have | been working the material furnished them and will continue doing so. If there was one union mill making the material used by us we would possibly act differently. | I took this matter up with President Shaffer two years ago, but he did not see then of what benefit an alllance with our organization would be to the mill work- ers.” Secretary Joseph Bishop of the Ohio Board of Arbitration is in town and Is visiting several of the combine official it is sald, in the interest of another co ference. He refused to discuss his move- | ments, saying he was here on other than | steel organization affars. The continuation of the strike and the | fact that it Is to be extended to greater proportions augmented the scramble that | has been on in Pittsburg for two weeks to secure sheet tin plates. A canvass of the jobbers developed that the supply of both sheets and tin plate is rapldly run- ning behind the demand, and especially in tin plate. The American Tin Plate Company has not changed its quotations | of $425 per box, but the consumers have paid this week as high as $550 per box for immediate dellvery. The combine price for sheets is $60 per ton, but $70 and $75 | have been paid for sheet available at| once. The independent mills are reaping a harvest. They are taking contracts at prices as high in some cases as $70 a ton for future delivery. The sales department of the Amerfcan Sheet Steel Company has given notice to Jobbers that it cannot take any orders for some time, as the capacity of the operat- ing sheet mills has been contracted for. IRELAND AS A MEDIATOR. | The Archbishop Will See the Presi- ~deént'in the Interest of Steel Men. | NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—In the guise of | mediator between capital and labor, | Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul has been i1 this city for several days, according to his friends. They say that an appeal | was made to him through Archbishop | Ryan of Philadelphia to use his influence | with President McKinley and the finan- clers of the United States Steel Corpora- tion in order to avert, if possible, the im- pending clash in_the steel industry, and that it was for the purpose of conferring | with Mr. Morgan that the Archbishop came to this city. 1 ‘Archbishop Ireland has upon several oc- casions acted as mediator between capital | and labor, and has invariably had atl least partial success. His acquaintance is Wwide and his sympathies are broad. He is personally acquainted with President McKinley. These were the reasons that an appeal was made to Archbishop Ire- land by Roman Catholic dignitaries who {_enllzed the gravity of the present situa- ion. Michael Walsh, a close friend of Arch- bishop Ireland, when seen at his resi- dence at Fort Hamiiton last night, as- serted positively that the Archbishop is taking steps to obtain a settlement of the strike through the intercession of Pres dent McKinley. “I have not seen Archbishop Ircland in five weeks,” said Walsh, “but I have been in communication with him. He is now with President McKigley, or is about to visit him in the inteMst of the steel Workerg. Any one who knows Archbishop Ireland’s position in labor matters will understand that he cannot remain quiet and allow this strike to go on withonut making an effort to obtain an agreement by mediation.” Walsh sald that in all probability the Archbishop would also see Senator Hanna and endeavor to obtain his assistance In the matter. Archbishop Ireland 1= in Hartford, Conn., to-night and could not be seen. He went there this afternoon, and is ex- pected to return to the Fifth Avenue Hotel to-morrow. -— AID OF THE FEDERATION. How Labor Union Could Help tha Striking Steel Workers. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Aug. 7.—When asked whether the Federation of Labor will lend flnancial assistance to the striking steel workers, Vice President Hays said: “The constitution limits the federation to collecting an assessment of 1 per cent per capita per week in all affiliated unions for a period not exceeding ten weeks in any one year to assist in the support of an’ affiliated organization engaged in a protracted strike or lockout.” The membership of the federation is said to be 1.500,000. The maximum amount thus collected would be $150,000. Of this amount, it is said, $75,000 has already been collected for the benefit of the machinists who have been on strike.

They should In a recent isstte of a medical journal, an editorial, written exclusively for physicians, says: external irritant is required to produce hay fever. Country people are surrounded by a pollen-laden atmosphere; the fields are full of ripening grasses, the ever-present rag weed grows in luxuriance, the goldenrod blooms by every roadside, and their pollens float on every breeze, yet nearly all the hay fever victims are from the populous centers and of a class shut up in the study, the counting house, the factory or store, where the atmosphere is as free as possible from plant dust.” The results of treatment go to prove the same fact, that the real fault is with the individual, that hay fever is a systemic or constitutional disease rendering one particularly susceptible to the influence of substances that have no unpleasant effect on healthy- and constitutionally right folks. ) Local applications alone never did and never will cure hay fever. Most local remedies, that give relief, contain cocaine that deadens the affected tissues and lulls the more distressing symptoms to temporary rest, but must be resorted to so frequently as to, each season, fasten the dreadful cocaine habit on a considerable percentage of hay fever victims. To cure hay fever we must not rely on the local tinkering of mere symptoms but address remedies to the deep-seated consti- tutional cause that permits of the local irritations. The only real cure for hay fever, as the only true cure for catarrh, consists in so influencing the system by internal or con- stitutional treatment as to enable it to withstand and be immune to all plant dust irritants. that allows of the disease, by proper internal treatment, and, like healthy folks, you will not have hay fever. There is one remedy that will do this; will so alter, strengthen and fortify the system that it will be proof against pollen It is the same remedy that has cured so many thousands of catarrh by building them up out of a systemic weakness that permitted of catarrhal conditions. Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets if taken in time will render the system resistant to hay fever, and one will no more have it than do other people who are equally exposed to plant dust. To wholly escape hay fever one must begin the tablets some time before the attack usually comes on. disease is already manifest, to take the tablet$, they will relieve to some degree, and, in a measure ward off the disease. Begin early, get your system thoroughly under the influence of the tablets and in perfect condition to resist influences that do not affect healthy and constitutionally right people, escape the annual vexations and miseries that attend hay fever, stay at home among your friends attending to life’s duties and pleasures, and enjoy the beautiful Summer and Fall months, when all nature rejoices and normal folks are happy and content. All drug stores sell Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets at 50 cents a box. remedies, and are safe as they are reliable and satisfactory. Try them and be convinced. We will send booklets about hay fever and catarrh free for the asking. F. A. Stuart Company, Marshall, Mich.
