FORTY SEVENTH TEAR senator kyle A CALL likely to Be tlio First Presi- dental Nominee of tlie People's Party. GBESHAM BOOMED AGAIN, Bnt an Opposition to Bis Candidacy; Begins to Loom Up. The South Dakota Senator Indorsed by the Delegations From Several States Weaver the Only Other Name Often Mentioned Little Talk as Yet About the Second Place on the Ticket Memorial Meetmgrfor the Late Colonel Polk A Compromise Between Kyle and Weaver Talked of Bellamyltes Come to the Front Interesting Con ference of Nationalists. CSPECIAI. TELXGBAM TO THE BISPATCHl Omaha, Neb., July a The candidate of the People's party for President will proba bly be United States Senator James Hen derson Kyle, of South Dakota. The unor ganized opposition to General "Weaver, including a large majority of Ae supporters of Judge Gresham, has by 6harp work to-day been centered upon the young preacher politician in the Senate. The combination has been made in great baste, but there is little doubt that it will be strong enough to accomplish its purpose. There are not many men among the dele gates who have attended a national political convention before, but the exigencies of the occasion have developed some clever ma nipulators among them. 'When Gresham's repeated withdrawals come, late yesterday afternoon, all bat "Weaver's followers were completely nonplussed for a time. The South, to whom they looked for a candidate, said they had no one to offer. "With this announcement from the Southern delegates came this message: "Give us a Northern or "Western man, too young to have fired a shot in 1860, and we will carry as many States lor him as we could for one of our own men." Kyle tho Best Man Found. Then they looked about for such a man, and Kyle seemed to fulfill the conditions best of all. His name found favor in stantly on all sides. The East indorsed hiVn veartily. The silver States said he was iMUptable, and the South took up his name vifith enthusiasm. Georgia's 51 delegates met this morning and voted unanimously to support him. Ohio did the same, so did Colorado, New Englsw1 H5 a doyen other Staiea. The 06 -ieler;ates from UlinoU held a meeting. Some of them were instructed to present the name of Colonel Norton, of Chicago. That gentleman withdrew in favor of Kyle, and the delegation became almost solid in the support of the South Dakota Senator. There was a conference of the leaders of more than half the delegations at noon, and another at 4 o'clock. The 'reports showed such a spontaneous acceptance of the Kyle proposition that it was decided to make a iriendly effort to secure "Weaver's with drawal. This may yet be accomplished. Tlie Gresham Boom Not Vet Collapsed. The Gresham boom, however, has not quite collapsed, in spite of his repeated declinations. A letter from him to a friend among the delegates, received last night, re iterated his declaration that he would not accept any nomination on any platform. The receiw immediately telegraphed the Judge, saying, "Thin letter was written 24 hours ago. Do you still persist in your de termination?" The reply came: "I stand by my letter." In the face of all this a few friends of Gresham sent a committee of four to plead with him personally. They left town at 4:35 this atternoon, and they cannot pos-. sibly reach the Judge until to-morrow night It is said their plan will be to delay a nomination, if possible, until Tuesday, in order to give this committee time to argue the matter with the Judge. They will not succeed in postponing the action of the convention, for the delegates, or a large majority of them, are determined to make a nomination and adjourn to-morrow night, and then, too, there is considerable oppo sition to Gresham developing, even it be was ready to accept. Gresham Not Considered So Strong:. Some of the best men among the dele gates are saying that it would be a weak and foolish thing to nominate a man who has been only a day or two identified with the movement. The Knights of Labor leaders here are the most persistent in advocating Gresham, and in default of him it is difficult to say whom they will support Tbey talk of Van Dyke, of Nebraska, quite freely, and. say he would be a good compromise between "Weaver and Kyle. Van Dyke will be the . People's narty nominee for Governor, and many men of the old parties concede that the vote of the new party, with Democratic assistance, will elect him. The Knights' of Labor, by the way, have very little strength in this convention. There is a good deal of interest in Powderly, but he cannot in fluence many votes here. Only two or three names are being con sidered for the second place on the ticket Now that it is conceded that the nominee for .President will be a "Western man, 'only Southerners are thought of for Vice Presi dent Judge or General Field, of Virginia, a lawyer about G5 years old, and a Confederate soldier with a good record on Longstreet's staff, is most prominentlv talked about Colonel Ben Terrill, of Texas, a veteran Al liance agitator, is next in prominence. One of these two men will probably be nomi nated. Bellamyltes Hold a Conference. The hold which nationalism has upon many in the new party movement is re markably stroDg. Just as the Massachusetts delegstion was leaving Boston, Edward Bellamy suggested to Norman A. Green, who is associated with him in the editorship of the JWm Ration, that it would be a good idea to call together all Hie delegates who might be in sympathy with nationalistic theories. The invitation was issued last evening and almost 300 delegates met in response at the "Windsor House this morn ing. As many more would probably have been there had not the exigencies of Presi dents! canvassing kept them busv. It was NOW certainly a representative gathering, geo graphically. The burden of all the speeches, by men from Maine to California and Minnesota to Georgia, was that the farmers especially among their constituents were heartily in sympathy with the doctrines exploited by the author of "Looking Backward." The meeting had no special object in view beyond giving expression to these opinions, and it adjourned after sending cordial greetings to the originator of the new theory. It may be added that the National ist leaders here have exerted a skillful and almost dominating influence in diverting the choice of the delegates from "Weaver to Kyle. Little Trouble Over the Platform. There will be little trouble over the plat form in this convention. The well-known doctrines of the Farmers' Alliance will be promulgated, without essential modifica tion or abridgment Land transportation and money will furnish the issues. The only new and fundamental point that will be raised is upon the force bill, and npon that question there will be a plank good enough as far as it goes, but condemning that iniquitous measure in a negative way instead of in the positive and outspoken language of the Chicago platform. w There was a significant episode in con nection with the work of the Committee on Resolutions. There is a strong religious sentiment underneath the People's party movement, and it found expression in the first meeting of the Platform Committee last night Several members of the com mittee were in favor ot devoting the greater part of to-day to the drafting of resolutions. They met a prompt rebuke from the ma jority of the committee. "We are advo cating the enforcement of the laws," said one member, "and let ns not begin by breaking one ourselves. Let ns go to church to-morrow evening." -, Sunday Work Narrowly Avoided. si A. M. Brown, of Kansas, said thatwljle he was not religious himself, he believed it would cost the ticket 5,000 votes in his State if the committee did its work on Sun day. That settled it, and, all suggestions of Sunday work were withdrawn, so the com mittee settled down to its task at once, and so rapidly did it work through sub-committees that when the midnight bell tolled very little remained to be attended to Monday morning. It was ft first proposed to report the St Louis platform without change, but there was opposition to this on the ground that . such action would be too subservient, so it was decided 28 to 12 that while the prin ciples of the St Louis resolutions should be strictly adhered to.the language express ing them should be redrawn. There was a little talk about the money plank. Mr.-Palmer, of Nevada, said: "We are not booming Senator Stewart or any other inan, but 95 per cent ot the people of my State will vote lor the People's party candidate,, whoever he may be, it he stands on a clean free coinage plank." So it was decided to amend the St Louis declaration so that it should demand free coinage of both gold and silver at the ratio oflCtol. A HOME FOB WOMEN Aided by a Meeting ot Delegate.

Omaha, Neb., Jnly a The Exposition Hall was fairly well filled this afternoon for one of the meetings held in connection with the assemblage of the People's Party Convention, which was called to aid the "Women's Home," of Omaha,(but largely partook ot a woman's suffrage meeting, Snsan B. Anthony making a speecn on her hobby. The presence of General Master "Work man Fowderly drew a number of the dele gates to the "hall. The meeting was held under the auspic" of the WorKlrigvximen's Union Assembly No. 719, Knights oflAbor, and had for its object the establishment of a workinguomeu's home in the city of Omaha, which should aid women In obtaining em ployment and care for them in distress. The Fljht Between Kyle and Weaver. Omaha, Neb., July 3. Chairman Tacb eneck, of the National Committee, says to night the fight is really between "Weaver and Kyle, as Taubeneck takes the stand that Gresham is out of the race and thinks the committee which has been appointed to see Gresham will accomplish nothing. "Washburn, of Massachusetts, one of the members oi the People's party National Committee, aided by Taubeneck, of Illi nois, and Branch, of Georgia, were manag ing the Kyle boom to-night One nf the Planks Decided Upon Omaha, Neb., July a The People's party platform will demand a constitutional amendment limiting the offices of President and Vice President to one term, and pro viding for the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people. This was decided upon by the Bub-Committee on Miscellaneous Matters to-day, and will doubtless receive the indorsement of the main committee at to-morrow's session. CYRUS FIELD SINKING. His Brother Says the Afflicted Man Cah't Posslb'y Live The Physician Says Death May Coine at Any Time His family Aroond Him. New Yoke, July a SpecialCyiMs "W. Field remained unconscious all Satur day night, but ie seemed to rally a trifle about 6 o'clock this morning, and regained consciousness for a short time. He glanced about the room for a few moments, and then went off" into a short sleep. He soon awoke, seemingly a trifle better, and recognized some of his relatives who were in the room. After that during the day he slept occasionally. At times he was conscious, and again he drifted off into un consciousness. He was delirious at times. About 12 o'clock Dr. Henry M. Field, who arrived from Stockbridge, Mass., at 10 o'clock Saturday night, sent the following telegram to his wife: Cyrus' condition unchanged. Mind wan dering. There is little hope. Dr. Covtant, of Tarrytown, stayedf with Mr. Field this afternoon until 5 o'clock. As he left he said that Mr. Field might die at any hour, and he might live a month. Cyrus Field, Jr., arrived at the house soon after 1 o'clock. At 10:15 p. m. Dr. Coutant reported that there bad been no change, and he anticipated none during the night COULDN'T INDDB8E BEID.

Byan is in Central station. He will stay there until to-morrow morning, when he will assist Colonel John J. Byrne, Special Agent of the United States Express Company, to draw S42.000 from the Pitts burg Safe Deposit Company on Fourth ave nue. It is a part of the $45,000 be stole from the United States Express Company at Washington, D. CL, on June 21. Byan is a boy just past 20 years. He was captured in Denver, Col., last week. Tj was brought here yesterday by Colonel Byrne and Gen eral Manager C, E. Topping, of the United States Express Company. Young Byan was In fairly good spirits. He has made a confession and says he will throw himself on the mercy of the Court Colonel Byrne seemed very well pleased with the capture. He told the following story of the robbery and the capture: How Bran Picked Up St 5,000. "Edward Byan comes of a good family in "Washington. His father and, mother are still living there. He went to work for the company in December, 1890. He has been what is known as a hold-over clerk. He took charge of packages when the consignees could not be found at once. His office or stall was next to that of the cashier. When the cashier went to lunch he always took his place. "On Tuesday, June 21, Byan was acting in his capacity when a bank brought in ?45 000 in bills to be sent to another bank. Byan instead of making the proper record oi the money put it in with his holdover packages. As soon as he could leave the office without suspicion be started tor Pitts burg over the Pennsylvania road. He had the money in a small hand bag which he had bought about a week before for the purpose. He has told that he contemplated a robbery for some time but had always been able to resist the temptation until that time. He Had Over Twenty Hours' Start. "We did notlearn of the robbery until 'noon tbe next day, when the consignee wanted to know what had become of the money. The bank had wired so muck money had been sent on a certain train. Then it was found Byan was missing as well as the money. Thursday the general mana ger and myself arrived in Washington. We knew Byan was an inexperienced boy and had no tear of losing the" money unless he fell in with bad people who would take it We knew he would keep on going in some direction. , It was only a question of covering every point and I knew when be was caught we would get tbe money. That night we sent out a description of the boy to all railroad centers and seaports. We also cabled abroad to have every steamer searched when it landed. We must have wired his description to 50 of the big rail road centers. "We take an accurate description and a photograph of everyone who comes to work for us. We also got a wood cut made and by the time he was captured we had 20,000 circulars bearing his picture sent out all over the known world. " j. Deposited a Fortune in Pittsburg. ' "From a talk I have had with the boy since the arrest I learned be stopped at tbe Seventh Avenue Hotel in "Pittsburg. From there he went to'the Safe Deposit Company and rented a box, into which he put some thing over $42,000. Then he went to Johns town, intending to stay there several days, but something urged him on and be went to Mansfield, O., then to Toledo, St Louis and Kansas City. On the Pullman car from Kansas City to Denver the conductor noticed the young man was nervous. We beard of the robbery and got the fellow into a discussion of the matter and he grew more nervous. The conductor saw a package of bills in his grip. At Pueblo Byan got of! for lunch and was left behind. The con ductor opened tbe satchel. Queered by a Tell-Tale Photog.aph. "The young fellow bad told him he was from New York, but in his satchel he found a number of photographs taken in Wash ington. The conductor then took tbe satchel to our agent in Denver and the two reported the matter to (Chief ot Detectives Howe. The Chief of course had our tele gram and the description tallied with the man. 'The three then went to the station. When the next train arrived Byan was aboard. He recognized the conductor, and, after announcing he had gotten left, asked for his satchel. The conductor said it was in the station. Byan went in and claimed it and just then Detective Howe arreBted him. He tried tolispose of his receipt for the box in the Safe) Deposit Company's vaults. They stopped him and in that way learned he had part of tho money here "He was only an inexperienced bqy and had tbe receipts in his vest pocket He had $2,000 in a belt around his body. Alto gether he bad $3,250 on his person. He broke down then and told what he had at the Pittsburg Safe Deposit Company. ' Didn't Know Where He Was Going. "He had only disposed of $127 a ltogether. When he came to Pittsburg he bought a complete new outfit and shipped his old clothes to San Francisco. He said he had no idea of going there or anywhere in par ticular. He thought he might wind up at the coast I asked him why he didn't take a steamer for Europe. He said he knew we had his photograph and was afraid he would be caught up. The boy really didn't know what he wanted to do. He only wanted to keep moving. If it had been an experi enced man we wouia nave naa a great deal more trouble, We have to keep him here until Tuesday because he will have to be present when the money is turned over. I will go to Buffalo to-night and will come back Tuesday morn ing." Colonel Byrne is a distinguished looking man with gray hair and mustache.

POISON FOB PICNICKEBS. Fourteen Suffering Front Arsenic In lee Cream, and Soma Will Die. Pbtnceton, lira., July a The poison ing of several persons in attendance at a Sunday school picnic Thursday at Patoka is still causing a great deal of anxiety. Fourteen were poisoned, mostly children, and some of them are still in a serious con dition. Mrs. Henry Harrison, who prepared the refreshments! is one of the most affected. Her husband and daughter are also lying very low. It is hardly probable that all can'recover. Physicians say the symptoms are those of arsenical nOisOnincr.

More Flat; Incidents and Possible Blood shed Are Expected To-Day French and Belgian Inhabitants Badly Worked Up The French Minister's Vigorous Protest. Greensbubo, July M. Special The inquiry into the flag dispute at Jednnette, conducted by District Attorney McCnrdy, has been the means of over-neating the blood of the three nationalities the Amer icans, the Belgians and the French. The most exciting time was had at Jeannette last night Trouble is expected there to morrow. ' t There are a- great many foreigners at Jeannette, and when the hearing closed last night they excitedly exclaimed that "on Monday, the Fourth, the-French flag shall be raised iar above the American colors, and the man who attempts to tear it down shall be shot down like a dog." Burgess Laughman and Policeman, Spiers, notwith standing the pleadings of District Attorney McCnrdy that peace be observed, at least until the present trouble Tis disposed of, in sisted last night that no foreign flags, no matter of what nation, should ever float above the citizens ot Jeannette, and should an attempt be made to raise the French flag to-morrow or on the French national holi day, bloodshed may be the result The pith of the evidence on the Decora tion day episode at the hearing by District Attorney McCurdy showed that the police man cnt'down the flags, but insisted that the action was necessary to save a riot and probably bloodshed, The flags, it was learned, were torn by some boys, and were not trampled in the mud. The complaint was first made to the French Consul at Philadelphia by Captain Lejune, a chevalier of the Legion of Honor, who resides at Jeannette. In the document sent to the Secretary of State at Washington by the French Minister, he says, among other things: I at first refused to believe that such an act had been perpetrated. It seemed the more inexplicable since the Federal Gov ernment, 1 am happy to state, lias always been clad to assisn a place to France when the War of Independence was to be com memorated, and since on that very SOth day of Slav I was requested to furiiish a. tri-col-ored llaff for the decoration of Lalayette's statue. Before asking your attention to the faots in question, which were communicated the very next day to our Consul at Phila delphia, I took pains to ascertain tnolr correctness. You will doubtless think, as I do, that tho Dcst way to close an incident that is so much to be Tesretted, woald be to remove at once an officer who has been guilty of an act which you will cer tainly condemn as severely as 1 do.. I take the liberty to insist that the case be prompt ly settled. Our national holiday, Jnly 14, is near. It will call foith at Jeannette. as well as- in all places where there are French residents, patriotic manifestations, and will be again the occasion of placinz the flags of our two countries side by side. It is much to be desired at that time, the policeman who has been guilty of so vexations a violation of duty may no longer be in his present posi tion. NO CASE AGAINST tfS. " XAtest-QeveJopmencf saettTncle Sam Ont of Anything; Serionsvln Conneelion With the Sealer Seizures Only the Kecular Form of Procedure Followed. Victoria, B. C, July a SpecUL Owners of sealing vessels are greatly ex cited over the aeizure of the steamer Co quitlam, but latest details learned show that they have a poor case against Uncle Sam. It seems that the Coquitlsm did not enter Port Etches harbor without first sending in a small boat to find it there was a United States warship there, so that the commander conld be asked tor leave to en ter for fresh water. NoUnited States war ship was found, and the Coquitlam then steamed in. While re-watering, June 22, the small United States mall steamer Elsie came in with mail tor sealers. Concealed on board, or at least disguised, was an officer of the United States revenue cruiser, Corwin, and no Sooner bad the Elsie left the harbor than the Corwin came in, steamed np to the Co quitlam, and puSeoond Lieutenant Quinan on board. This officer informed Captain McLellan that his vessel was seized and sent the Coqnitlam's books, papers, etc., on board tbe Corwin. Quinan was left on board with a prize crew ot six, and ordered the Coquit 'lam's crew to get steam np and sail for Sitka. Some slight accident to the machin ery caused a snort delay, when Captain Hooper, of the Corwin, sent word on board: "If you don't leave the harbor.within an hour we will dismantle you." United States Consul Myers, of Victoria, says: "The case is similar to the seizure of the tug Mogul, fonr years ago. The seizure of the Coquitlam is simply the result of an infraction of revenue rules, and has no international., significance. The law re quires that vessels must report at the first port of entry, and hence the Coquitlam should have put in at Sitka and had het papers inspected. The United States Government there also has a right to send revenue officers aboard oi any vessel which comes within 12 miles of shore and inspect her manifest and papers and if these are not satisfactory the vessel is liable to seizure. Another thing which must not be forgotten is that by receiving goods from the Coquit lam the sailors have made themselves -liable with the steamer. If they don't get away they will all be seized." FIVE MEN KILLED. They Were Railroad Officials and Train men Riding on a Xiocomotlv- Looansport, Ind., July 3 A wreck occurred on the Wabash Bailroad one mile east ot Keller's station, at 12 o'clock last night, which resulted in . the complete destruction of the locomotive and the death of five men who were riding on the engine. It was a mixed or accommodation train, and the wreck was caused by the washing out of a four-foot stone culvert The killed are: Trainmaster C. F. Wil cox, Superintendent of Bridge Harry Dun lap, Foreman pf Bridge Carpenters Charles Helm, Engineer Shovey and Fireman Mares. They were testing one of the heavy new passenger locomotives recently pur chased by the company. A SPECIMEN TOEHADa The Collision of Two Clouds Works Havoo In an Iowa Country District Davenport, Ia., July a A terrific wind and rain storn occurred last evening about 10 miles north oi this city. The storm was in the nature of a tornado, and for a distance of five miles or more large barns and other buildings were totally wrecked, Big cottonwood trees of a halt century's growth were uprooted and carried long dis tances. The storm-swept 'district is half a mile wide. Three miles west of Sheplar's place two clouds met and their union Resulted in the storm.

GLADSTONE'S FRIENDS CONFIDENT. Explorer Etanlej Is Now Talking to Se lect Audiences Only. FRESH RIOTING THROUGHOUT IRELAND London, July a While the Americans are celebrating the national holiday-to-morrow Britain in general and Gladstone in par ticular will be anxiously watching the" first real test ot strength in the contest which is to determine the fate of home rule. Al though there has been desultory firing on the skirmish line of uncontested seats, tuo great electoral battle in England will fairly begin on Monday, when 64 boroughs hold elections. Two are Scotch and three London, the rest being provincial English. By Monday at mid night we shall, therefore, have the result of the first general engagement as a basis for reckoning. Of these boroughs 38 are Tory and two Unionist, but in only eight cases did their majorities six years ago exceed 1,000, and in 19 they were under 500. ' The Liberals feel confident of winning at least 10 of these seats. Tbey think they have chances in 14 others. This is about all that can be said until the returns begin to come in. The Monday elections will be eminently representative of the whole list of borough contests, of which there are 231 in England alone. All parts oiHhe kingdom will be tested by the votes of such towns as Bradford, Cambridge, Chatham, Carlisle, Coventry, Derby, Durham, Exeter,Glouces ter, Hastings, Lincoln, Northampton, Not tingham, Preston, Beading, Stafford, Stock port, Winchester, Worcester and York. Gladstone's Followers Very Confident. These will tell us, not, indeed, whether Gladstone is going to have a majority, for that is beyond dispute, but whether the rising tide of Badicalism, on the crest of which he is riding, will be high enough to sweep along with it even the borough or urban constituencies. If Monday's ballot ings show this to be the case, then his ma jority in the next House will be in the neighborhood of 100, with a possibility of even more. On Tuesday over a third of London's CO divisions will vote, and that night it will be possible still more exactly to estimate the proportions of the tidal wave. If any thing like the victories won in the Council elections in March is maintained, what remains of the Tory-Unionist retreat will be turned into a rout; but in receiving all these borough returns it shonld be re membered that Gladstone's chief reliance is on the county divisions, which poll much later; that is to say, chiefly during the following week and the next Bemote Orkney and the She t lands do not vote until July 26. Mr. Stanley, warned by his first rough ex perience, now holds only ticket meet ings, and so has audiences which bear him quietly. A number of big employers of labor are opening their factories to him and putting on all the pressure of wealth and power they can command to help him, but the Liberal workers are very confident that he will be beatenby a big majority. .That Maxim gun he took across Africa is being made the most of.by Miss Colensoand a host of other 'philanthropic women more or less connected with , Africa, who have gone into the division work against him, and "butcher" is the principal hostile cry he hears when he drives through Lambeth. A Riotous Day In Ireland. A dispatch from Dublin bays: Timothy Healy addressed a meeting in Dundalk to day in bis own behalf as a candidate for North Louth. The town was the scene of violent disorder all day. Prior to Mr. Healy's arrival a number of contingents of his country supporters, on entering the town, were attickea yy i'arnell ites and serious fights ensued, many persons being badly injured. When Mr. Healy arrived his "supporters paraded the town and .freqnent, fights occurred along the line of march. Tbe meeting which was held in the afternoon in Market square was attacked by Parnellites with sticks and stones. The Parncllites were repulsed after a fierce contest, in which many were injured on both sides. Afterward the police kept the two factions separated. Fighting was renewed later in the evening. The rioting which broke out in Limerick last night, while William O'Brien was ad dressing an anti-Parnellite meeting, con tinued until midnight Mr. O'Brien left Limerick secretly this morning. While Mr. O'Brien was speaking last night another faction fight broke out at the other end of the town. Parnellites and McCarthyites pelted each other with sticks and stones,and many were injured on both sides. The Mc Carthyites were finally routed. Mr. Johnson, a Parnellite candidate, ad dressed a meeting ot 5,000 persons in New ry to-day. While he was speaking a crond ot McCarthyites interfered and a number of fierce fights 'ensued, sticks and stones being ireely used and several per sons being wounde'd. The fighting ended in the repulse of the McCarthyites. THE STEANDED CITY OF CHICAGO. She Is In a Very Bad Condition, and Her Crew Will I.eave Her. London, July a The Liverpool under writers have dispatched their biggest wrecking vessel to Kinsale to aid the stranded Inman line steamer City of Chi cago. The wrecking vessel carries powerfnl pumping and other gear, and it is intended to commence lightening the ship to-night Two compartments are full of water. Forty feet of the bottom from the fore-foot have been torn away,and it is feared that the fastenings of the after ompartments will give way. A lot of the ship's furniture was landed to-day. A dispatch from Queenstown says the Guion steamer Alaska, from New York for Liverpool on her arrival here to-day, re ported that as she was passing the City of Chicago, tlie latter s capiain signaled that It was unnt lor tne crew to remain longer. The In mans have dispatched a tender to the rescue. v Thirty-Four Bloters Wonnded. Madrid, July a In marked contrast to the rioting ascribed to the new taxes im posed on retailers, which was going on during much' of the day, "the city last night and to-day was tranquil. The total number of those injured yesterday is 34. Seventy persons have been arrested. . A Decisive Battle Imminent.

Clarkson Commences His Work In New York The State '""Ntjlne and Those of the Big CountW' "to Be la I4ne Shortly. ( ew York, Jttty''fto '"o-day one of the biggest---0 Jq X""u tics since the Minneapo-N i,Aj, f.t. v. - f.v HEW YORK, Jtt. was one politi General James S. Clarkson 1'"V- high to-day before he was in communicat. witu ex-oeuaiur jriatt at buo J.- -a.,-- iv Hotel. Later he saw Tom Beed, the i'Czar" of the Fifty-first Congress, 'and Senator Washburn and Congressman Hitt at the Oriental Hotel, Coney Island. Primarily, Mr. Clarkson's visit to New York at this time is for the purpose of es tablishing his family in pleasant quarters on tbe Sound for the summer. But he is shortly to be joined by Hon. Tom Carter, of Montana, and a house in the neighbor hood of the Fifth Avenue Hotel is to be leased. It is to be the headquarters in New York of the National Committee. Great things are expected from Tom Carter's genius. His growing reputation as a political strategist has led his friends to impart the information that he could play a cold deck on Colonel W. W. Dud ley, of Indiana and pension fame, at high noon. The national headquarters is to be run separate from the State machine, Ex-Senator Piatt announced to his friends before departing for Minneapolis that if Harrison were renominated he would retire as an active worker for the good of the Bepub lican party in New York State, and that the burden of the battle in the State must be borne by the President's friends. Ex-Senator Warner Miller practically took the same ground. With the New York machine in the hands of the men who opposed the Presi dent's renomination, the arrival of General Clarkson and his talks with noted Bepubll canj are particularly interesting at this time. In the first place, it is learned that the President fully appreciates the import ance of the desire of the People's Party Convention at Omaha to run Judge Walter Q. Gresham as its candidate for the Presi dency. Secretary Elkins, Secretary Foster and others of the President's advisers are aware of the large following of Gresham in the itepnblican party. But even withGresham out of tbe way,the President and his friends have not under rated the possibilities of the People's party and the importance of the vote of New York State is a matter about which the President's friends and those who opposed his renomination are agreed. It is believed now that any differences that may exist be tween the President and those in control of the New York state and county machines and the Kings county machine will be ad justed. DEATH LUEKS 15 A F0HT. A Pile or Bind Tarns Oat to Be a Lot of Very Old Powder. New Orleans, July a Special A 'party of gentlemen from this city went fish ing at Chif Menteur, to-day, and wandered over the old fort pike, which commands tbe entrance from the Gulf of Mexico to Lake Pontcbartrain, New Orleans The fort was 'constructed, in Jackson's- day, and was abandoned 25 years ago'. Dr. S. Knapp and Charles Hopkins, wandering among the fortifica tions,found a number of old boxes apparent ly filled with mud. They bent over to ex amine them, when a spark from the cigar ette fell on one of the boxes. There was a frightful explosion. Dr. Knapp was blown 20 feet away, and Hop kins instantly killed. It is supposed that the boxes contained powder that was left be hind by the Government when the fort was deserted and had remained exposed to the elements for so many years that it looked like mud, but bad not lost its explosive powers.

THREE CENTS IN MILITARY STYLE, Complete System of Organiza tion Adopted by Home stead Workers. EYllEY POINT GUABDED. Told Off Into Three Divisions "With a Commander Over Each. '(,, " SIGNAL STATION ARRANGED. Official Denial That Any- Farnaces Had Been Lighted. P0TTEE LEAYES FOR A PLEASTJEE TEIP The people of Homestead spent a very wet Sunday yesterday. It was none of your new fangled poetic summer showers, but a genuine old-fashioned drizzle, which transformed the dust-carpeted streets into rivers oi sticky, yellow mud. It flooded the camps of the men detailed to watch the silent works and made life a moist and heavy burden for the little gang of human ity within the whitewashed confines of the steel works. The weather forced the popu lace to remain indoors, and it proved to be a damp, dull and unprofitable day. The deep-chested champions ot organized labor rested in their tents, smoked count less tobies and talked over the situation. To them the one redeeming feature of the Cuy was the morning meeting of their recog nized leaders, the Advisory Committee. The 50 members of the committee gathered in conclave shortly after 9 o'clock in the Discussing the Situation on Sunday. morning, and it was long after noon when they opened the door of their council chamber. Organized on a Military Basis. The chairman of the committee said that the committee had, after- mature delibera-tion.-decided fo organize their forces on a trnely military-basia. The force of 4,000 men had been divided into three divisions or watches. Each of these divisions is to de vote eight hours of the 24 to the task of watching'the plant The commanders of these divisions are to have as assistants eight captains, composed of one trusted man from each of the eight local lodges. These captains will report to the division commanders, who in turn will receive the orders from tbe Advisory Committee. Dur ing their hours of duty these captains will have pergonal charge of the most important posts, i. e., the river front, the water gate and pumps, the railway stations and the main gates of the plant The girdle of pickets will file reports to the main head quarters everv halt hour, and so complete and detailed is the plan of campaign that in 10 minutes' time the committee can com municate with the men at any given point within a radius of five miles. In addition to all this there will be held in reserve a force of 800 Slavs and Hungarians. This brigade ot foreigners will be under the com mand of two Hungarians and two inter preters. Established a Signal Station. The most important task accomplished by the committee yesterday was the erection and furnishing of a signal station. This is located on the roof of the headquarters. The tower commands a full and unobstructed view of Fort Frick and the surrounding Meant for Mr. Frick. country. With the aid of a fieldglass th man in the signal tower can gaze over th ramparts and take a leisurely survey of what is going on in the enemy's camp. During the day he can signal by a system of variously colored flags to the pickets sta tioned on the hills across the river, at night a strong flash light will be used. The river patrol will wnd up rocket when necessary, and will also make a liberal use of colored fire. That hoarse-voiced steam whistle at the electrio light works will be reserved for special occasions, but in great emergencies it will sound the general alarm. Mr. E. F. Wood, the assistant superin tendent of the Homestead works, was located yesterday. He said: "There la no truth In the report that the fires have been lighted In the limestone furnaces In the open -earth department Saturday morning the regula tors which control the pressure of natural gas in the furnace pipes failed to work properly and I ordered the escaping gas to oe ignited in order to avoid accident.
