JUNE 16 THE DATE OP MEETING San Francisco Makes dame Fight for the Honor, Bat with Other Takes Oe . feat Jood Natnredly-Mrs Ellen roster's Brilliant address. Washington, Dec. JO. The Republi can national convention will be held at St. Louts, Mo., on the sixteenth day of next June. These were the two ma terial results of today's quadrennial meeting of the national committee. Thus ends a contest that has been spir itedly conducted by the four cities of San Francisco, Chicago, Pittsburg and St. Louis. New York was a nominal candidate for convention honors, but her representatives did not reach the city until late last night, too late to begin an active propoganda for the metropolis of the east. St. Louis' vic tory was due to a variety of causes, the principal of which was the untiring ef fort put forth by her representatives. St. Louis had been regarded as a strong competitor from the start, but experi enced observers of political affairs felt that her principal rival would be Chica go, which, curiously enough, was never seriously In the race. The California delegation made a game, uphill fight. That they succeed ed In polling bo large a vote In the start, and holding it practically Intact until the final ballot, furnishes the strongest proof of the good work done by her oommlttee In the face of ob stacles with which none of the other cities had to contend. The balloting showed that the partisans to San Fran cisco were earnest in their intentions to secure the convention, and the result showed that they could not be stam peded notwithstanding their opponent's clover work. Pittsburg, like Chicago, ww neier a formidable contestant, and after two ballots, the brave show ing she hud made at the beginning gradually disappeared. Kc.nlt of first Dnllot. The first ballot was taken at 4 o'clock. It was Informal and designed to test the sense of the committee. It resulted as follows: 6an Francisco, 20; Chicago, 8; Pittsburg, 9; St. Louis, IT; New Tork, 1. Totals, 51. On motion of Mr. Hobart, of New Jer sey, the city polling the smallest vote on this ballot waa dropped. This elimi nated New York and reduced the con test to the four cities first named. On this ballot the member from the Dis trict of Columbia voted for San Fran cisco. ' On the first regular ballot both he and the member from New York transferred their votes to St. Louis, with the result that San Francisco was droPPc .t0 : Chicago and Pittsburg -Juimea ..iiauonary. wnue- Bt. mujs During the intermission, between the first and second ballots, Mr. Kerens, the Missouri member of the committee, and some of the staunch adherents of the Mound City, did some effective mis sionary work, which was shown when the second ballot was taken. On this ballot San Francisco retained ffer 19 votes; Chicago gained one from Pitts burg; Pittsburg lost four, three of the number going to St. Louis, Increasing her strength to 18.- On the third ballot Pittsburg forces disintegrated so that the member from that state was the only person voting for the Smoky City. The four votes lost by Pittsburg on this oc casion went to St.' Louis, thus putting her in the lead with 22 votes; San Fran cisco and Chicago remaining stalonary. It was now apparent that St. Louis was forging steadily to the front. Pittsburg dropped out of the race. On the last ballot San Francisco received 15 votes; Chicago 7 and St. Louis 29, three mora than a majority. ' The report that St. Louis had won theconventlon spread through the surg ing crowds In the hotel with the speed of a prairie Are, and within a minute the spacious headquarters of the St. Louis delegation were crowded with the members of other delegations who hastened there to congratulate the vic tors. One of the Pittsburg men with a view to showing his friendly Interest in St. Louis, seised the large pot con taining a huge bunch of white and yel low chrysanthemums which were a con spicuous object in their room and car ried it Into the Missouri headquarters. ', Ex-Congressrasn Warner Speaks. ' Ex-Congressman Warner, of Kansas City, upon his entrance Into the room, was Immediately seized by a half dozen stalwart Mlssourlans nnd 'elevnterl to a table, while cries of "speech," "speech, "Warner," "Warner," tilled the air. iir. Warner nothing daunted by this un looked for demonstration quickly arose to the occasion and yllvered a brief, five minutes talk, which waa conspicu ous for Its intense Americanism. One sentence was particularly forcible. It was this: . .-.., t "No man who represents our country at a foreign court, who criticises his government, or traduces Its citizens la a worthy representative of the Ameri can people." These sentlmenta were cheered to the echo. ' , When Mr. Warner stepped to the floor, Chauncey I. Fllley, of St. Louis, was elevated to the table amid loud clapping of hands, and called upon for a few remarks. He was not unwilling. He delivered a rattling speech, which created . great laughter and much ap plause. He predicted that some of the Democrats In Missouri would be found voting with the Republicans in the presidential election , of next year. "They wilt not,", he consttnued, "turn their backs on prosperity because their ancestors voted for General Jackson." This created a fresh outburst of merri ment, under cover of whleh Mr. Fllley leaped to the floor, making way for Congressman Cobb, of St.' Louis, one of the Democratic members of the na tional house of representatives. Mr. Cobb explained that the Democrats of Missouri would Join the Republicans In extending a cordial welcome to the del egates and that they would then use their efforts to defeat the candidate whom the convention nominated. There was something so good humored and frank about big' utterances, that the audience, which was entirely Republi can, waa delighted, v' . ,; , ,,- ! , California's Oood Nat are. v . i - Mr. Warner next announced that the Choral deleratton had come Ja to pay their respects. George A. Knight, of San Francisco, waa at once hurried to the front and called upon for a few remarks. He made a good-natured, jocular speech, and , said to his St. Louts friends that It was good policy to locate the convention In Missouri. Cali fornia, he said, was big enough for an empire and fair enough tor an Eden. "We have shared," said he, "In the ben efits of protection. We have been pro tected from your vices and Incidentally from your virtues." Short speeches were also made by Mr. Kerens of Missouri, Messrs. Os born, Rader and Frederichs, of Cali fornia; Fllley, of Missouri; ex-Senator Clayton, of Arkansas; Senator El kins, of West Virginia, and Congress men Joy and Barthold, of Missouri, In the order named. In addition to the balloting for the location of the convention the commit tee also transacted in executive session some unfinished and some new busi ness, which is herewith briefly summar ised: The first matter disposed of was the resolution of Mr. Payne to change the basis of representation In the conven tion, seconded by Mr. Hahn, of Ohio. Mr. Ewlng who held Mr. Payne's proxy, that gentleman being now in Europe, stated that he was authorized by his principal to withdraw the proposition, and by unanimous consent it was agreed that thlB should be done. Dace of the Convention. ' On motion by Mr. Lamb, of Virginia, the date of the national convention was fixed for Tuesday, June 16. The usual committee empowered to make all arrangements for the con vention was then appointed, consist ing of the executive committee and the following additional members: Messrs. Evans, of Minnesota; Lamb, of Vir ginia; Brayton, of South Carolina; Clayton, of Arkansas; Scott, of West Virginia; Huston, of Indiana; Long;, of Florida, and Leland, of Kansas. It waa the understanding that delegates must be chosen In the same manner as can didates for congress; also that no re striction would be placed upon districts as to the time when delegates may be chosen between the date of Issuing the call and thirty days prior to the meet ing of the convention. The question of increasing the representation in the convention of the territories was pre sented. In line with the action which gave New Mexico and South Dakota six delegates In the last convention. The following resolution offered by Mr. Carey, of Wyoming, was adopted as a substitute for several suggestions: "Resolved, That In addition to the rep resentation now authorized by the rules of the national convention for the terri tories of Utah, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Arizona, the committee advises each of said territories to elect four delegates, and the admission of such - additional delegates to the convention is hereby rec ommended." . Mr. Foster's Addre.s. Mrs. J. Ellen Foster was Invited,' on motion of Mr. Clarkson, who spoke of her an tha " heat Ttenuhllnan In lha ! Unfted States, to address the committee. She urged upon the members the neces City of encouraging and extending among the women the work In behalf of Republican principles. As an evi dence of its importance, she mentioned that had it not been for the votes of the women in Colorado, Mr. Wolcott would not. have been returned to his seat In the senate. Woman suffrage, she sard, was a com ing fact and the Republicans would be wise if they made love to them before their political affections were engaged elsewhere. Mr. George Crist, financial agent of the national league of Republican clubs. ! was Introduced to the committee. Au- thorlty was given the league to collect j funds for the prosecution of its work between now and the date of the as ! sembling of the next national conven j tlon. At a meeting of the executive ! committee, which included all the mem bers to make the convention commit tee, the duty of making all the arrange ments for the convention was devolved upon a sub-committee consisting of Mr. Manley, of Maine, chairman; Mr. Hahn, of Ohio, secretary; Messrs. Carter, of Montana; Clarkson, of Iowa; Clayton, of Arkansas; Kerens, of Missouri, and Campbell, of Illinois. The committee then adjourned subject to the call of the chairman. MYSTERIOUS DEATH. Authorities at Beatrloe, Neb.. Perplexed by a Sonsatlnnal Case. Beatrice, Neb.. Dec. 10. A woman about 25 years old, who came here on the evening of November 29 and regis tered at the Grand Central hotel as Mrs. Carrie Brown, Keokuk, Iowa, was found In her room this afternoon dead, with a bullet hole In her right temple and one in her left breast There Is a decided air of mystery surrounding the case and some sensational develop ments are expected. On the night of her arrival she was accompanied by a tall stranger, who. after seeing hpr safely In a hack with her trunk, got In side and went to the same hotel, where he had a clerk register him as A, P. Turner, Knhoka, Mo.. The following day Turner paid his bill and disap peared. Among the woman's effects waa found a tablet on which was written the name Carrie A. Turner, and on a sheet of wrapping paper found there was writ ten A. F. Turner's name. There was nothing among tne woman's effects to disclose her Identity, all evidence hav ing apparently been destroyed. She was provided with a large amount of clothing and jewelry but had only $22 In money. ' To the people of the hotel she had said her husband was a traveling man and that she expected him to join her here today. She was about to become a mother. The verdict of the coroner's jury was suicide, but there are many who think it a case of murder. WASHINGTON WAIFS. The fallowing appointments to positions under the clerk of the house were made: W.

THE PRESIDENT CRITICISED Mr. Scrantoa "Queers" the Superior Coart Olll-Ia Uis Aazlety for Immediate Ac tion He Buries the Measure with a Committee Not Yet Appointed. Washington, Dec. 10. Congressman Bcranton made an unsuccessful effort to get through the house today his bill allowing the state Superior court and the county courts to use the federal building In Scranon. Instead of wait ing for Quay's bill, which passed the senate yesterday, to come over and having It concurred in by the house, Scranton Introduced one himself and asked that Immediate action be taken. This was objected to and the bill was referred to the committee on public buildings and grounds. As that com mittee has not yet been appointed there is no telling when the bill will be re ported back to thehouse. Secretary Curtis, of the treasury, gave Vandllng and Scranton a hearing today and referred the question of granting the local courts permission to use the public building to the supervis ing architect. It is believed that permission will not be granted until congress acts, which may not be for some time. W. R. B. MR. BARRETT'S SARCASM. lie Desires to Wsft News of Matters of Stste ta the Dusk Hunter. Washington, Dec. 10. The senate was In session for nearly two hours today, one-half of that time being occupied by Mr. Cullom, Illinois, in a speech In ad vocacy of the clearest assertion and most strenuous maintenance of the Monroe doctrine. The resolution on which he spoke was then referred to the committee on foreign relations. Petitions and resolutions were pre sented and referred: For the settle ment by arbitration of controversies between railroad companies and their employes; for protection for the Ameri can wool-growing Interest; for the pre vention of colored "lynching" in the south; for the suspension of the removal of "Intruders" from the Cherokee coun try; for the abolition of tribal occupa tion of lands by Indians, and for the suppression of cruelties upon and mas sacre of Armenian subjects of Tur key. To Impcseh Mr. Bayard. A very spirited and at times exciting debate was precipitated in the house today by the Intrductlon as a question of privilege by Mr. Barrett, Republi can, Massachusetts, of a resolution looking to the Impeachment of Thomas F. Bayard, ambassador to Great Brit ain, for sentiments expressed In speeches delivered at Boston, England, and Edinburgh, Scotland, and which have been widely published and com mented on. The resolution directs the committee on foreign affairs to ascer tain If such speeches have been pub licly made and If so to report to the house such action by Impeachment or otherwise, as shall be proper In the premises. Subsequently, on motion of Mr. Cannon (Rep. III.), the words "by impeachment or otherwise" were strick en out and the resolution was adopted by a vote of 207 to 90. A somewhat similar resolution calling on the president for information as to what steps he had taken to recall Mr. Bayard was previously offered by Mr. McCall, of Massachusetts, but under ob jections was referred to he committee on foreign affairs. Mr. Crisp (Democrat, Georgia) In dis cussing Mr. Barrett's resolution, ac quitted Mr. Bayard of the charge of Im propriety and expressed the opinion that the resolution was simply the pre text to bring up the tariff question. Mr. Bayard was strongly criticised by Mr. McCall, Mr. Dlngley (Republican, Maine) and Mr. Johnson (Republican, Indiana), and was defended by Messrs. Cummlngs (Democrat. New oTrk), Mc Creary (Democrat, Kentucky), Money (Democrat, Mississippi), and Turner (Democrat, Georgia). . Crltlslfed the President. In closing the debate Mr. Barrett criti cised the president for being absent when an important communication was received from Great Britain on the sub ject of Venezuela, and hoped the vote of the house would attain a volume and Importance that would be wafted down to North Carolina, where the president, he presumed, was "skulking behind a blind to bring down some timorous fly ing ducks." The speaker announced the following committee on accounts: Aldrich, Illi nois, chairman; Odell, New York; Mc Call, Tennessee; Tracey.Mlssourl; Long, Kansas, Republicans, and Rusk, Mary land, and Price, Louisiana, Democrats. The house then at 3.35 adjourned until Thursday. . , CLAIMS HELD BY FORCE. Exeitement a Cottonwood Camp, the Latest El Dorado of Gold Hunters. ; Denver, Dec. lO.-The latest mining excitement Is at Cottonwood camp, within thirty miles of Denver, In Clear Creek county. Ore that runs all the way from a trace to $10,000 a ton is suffi cient to excite the avarice of the least excitable and cause them to head for the land of Ophlr. Last night a tele phone message was received from the town for a shipment of shotguns to en able the owners of a former ranch to drive away Invaders. k Captain Hutchinson, one of the own ers in question, was determined to hold his own for a town site, and when the early trains from Denver arrived, with five car loads of prospectors they met a stern reception.

ThomasEtwyn Coolly DIscbmcs the De tails of the Slsagbtor of Ills Two Chil dren. I West Chester. Pa.. Dec. 10. Thomas Elwyn, who killed his two children by cutting their throats with a razor at their home In Phoenlxvllle, and who is now in jail here, has fully recovered from the effects of the Injuries which he Inflicted upon himself at the time. The wound In his neck has healed up and he has regained all his strength. When he was first brought here he had an evident desire to commit suicide. This ha left him so far as evidences go and he declares that he now has no such desire, but nevertheless he has ab solutely no chance to kill himself without the connivance of one of his guards. Elwyn says he expects to be hung for his crime. He today told some new facts about the killing of his children. It was not known that he attempted to poison them before using the raizor. HO mixed arsenic in the coffee and got the two children to drink It. The poison did not act quickly enough to satisfy his murderous fancy and he then re sorted to the razor. The boy, he says, he killed first, and then turned to the little girl, who had seen her brother dispatched. The girl ran from him, but he finally chased her into a corner. She dropped on her knees, and clasping her hands In terror cried: "Oh, papa, don't kill me." The murder of the girl, he says, was most difficult, and he was compelled to make several 'attempts before he could draw the blade across her young throat. All this Elwyn discusses coolly as though it were some one else's crime. He will be tried for the two murders at the January term of court. M'BRIDE EXONERATED.

DESPERATE FLAN FOR ESCAPE The Slayer of Catharine Clng Details a Plot to Murder tho Prison Guards lie Grows Nervous at the Ap proach of Ills Doom. Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 10. Harry Hayward has confessed. Every shadow of doubt as to his guilt In connection with the murder of Catherine Ging has been swept away by the voluntary word of the assassin. In the still watches of the night Hayward turned to County Physician Burton, who con stantly attends him, and, as to a father confessor, admitted that the gallows was about to receive one of the guilti est wretches of the nineteenth century. The story of the crime he recited from beginning to end, confessing that he alone was the Instigator of the mur derous plot and that Claus Bllxt was but his tool. "I fell down at the last moment, though," said Hayward, after a full confession had been made. "I Intended to klU Bllxt, but could not. If I had, I would have been safe. The morning after the morning I went to him and told him to go to Frank that is the elevator boy, you know and borrow a revolver of him. Bllxt looked at me for a moment, and then replied: 'No, Harry; No'. He was too cunning for me, -him. I failed, but If he had borrowed that revolver I would have gone Into the basement and after tak ing the revolver away from Bllxt I would have shot him through the right temple where a man committing suicide would naturally shoot. Then I would have dropped the revolver by his side and backed from the room. I figured that Mrs. Blixt or some one might come rushing; in, and If I was backing out. I could, upon the appearance of any one, have simply rushed forward to ward the body, as if I had heard the shot and was just rushing in. I failed though, and now they have me," with a glance toward the court where the gallows stands awaiting his victim. Hayward Is making a gigantic effort to cover up his shattered nerve today. He rose from his couch this morning, and, although he had not slept a wink, stretched himself and said to the death watch: "D it, I would like to be hung every day. I feel like a fighting cock." He ate sparingly of wheat cakes and fried eggs, but joked with his watch the while, stating that he had always fed well and he could not leave the world hungry. Nevertheless! his every efTort to appear natural to-day Is no ticeable. His lips quiver like those of a suffering Infant, and he cannot keep his mind upon a topic long enough to form a complete sentence.' He is breaking up fast, and although Jailer Sandberg declared that Harry will walk to the rope without a tremor, It Is doubtful. Various Cranks Appear. The afternoon and evening preceding the execution of Harry Halward were filled with exciting episodes. Cranks of all sorts were numerous and made themselves known freely. Within three days past Hayward made a last frantic attempt to form another plot of escape. Sitting In his cell with a short hand reporter taking his Inst statement, he recited the story. "My plan was this: At just three minutes past twelve at night I would fall down on the floor of my cell and writhe In anguish as If I had suicided by taking poison. The guards would Immediately ring up doctors. "About Ave minutes after this three men with long satchels In their hands would present themselves at the jail and state that they were the physi cians summoned. They would be my men and the satchels would not con tain medicine but derringers. The jail ors would be sandbagged and my guards taken care of afterward. "I would be taken out with a re volver In each hand and a carriage awaiting me at the door would take me away. "If it had not been for one' slip, this scheme would have gone through,' you can bet on that." Ilayward's Awful Crime. The crime for which Harry Hayward was hanged was one of the most re markable of the century. On the night of December 3, 1894, the body of Miss Catharine Glng was found In a swamp on the further shore of Lake Calhoun, a few miles from' this city. About the same time a horse drawing an empty buggy with blood over the cushions and sides walked into Gossman's livery stable, where It had been, rented, early in the evening, by Miss Glng. Rigid and searching In quiry was at once Instituted by the au thorities. It developed that Miss Glng had her life Insured for 310,000, the pol icies being made payaSle to Harry Hay ward. This directed suspicion towards him, and, after being under survellance for a few days, he was, together with his brother, Adry, taken Into custody. As Hayward was at the theater the night of the murder, It was shown con clusively tha he did not do the actual killing. Then Adry told a remarkable story. He said that Harry had plotted to kill Miss Glng for the life Insurance and wanted 'his assistance, which was re fused. Further Investigation devel oped the fact that. Hay ward met Miss Glng that night and drove out as far as Thirteenth street, where he was met by Claus Bllxt, the janitor In the em ploy of his father. Bllxt drove Miss Glng out Calhoun road and shot her. He then came Into town on foot, going to several places where he was known for the purpose of establishing an alibi. Hayward, after leaving Miss. ' Ging, hurriedly retraced his steps and took a young society aldy to the theater, sit ting through ' tha performance, appar antly unconscious of the trajredy that was being enacted. Bllxt was after ward arrested and confessed to the ac tual killing. Ho was lven a life sen tence in the penitentiary. In telling his story ho claimed - that Hayward had him In his power, exercising an influence over him that It was Impossi ble to resist Hayward himself waa placed on trial, and, despite the best legal talent that money could buy. waa found guilty of murder In the first de gree and sentenced to behanged. Ho Greets Adry Kindly. To the surprise of all Adry appeared at the jail at 10:30 and was ushered in to the cell room. Two days since Har ry, before his jailors and common pris oners, cursed his brother. Now he re ceived him with a kind word of greet ing and motioned ilm to' stand by, as he talked. It was easy to see that Harry's animosity was short lived. A large number of newspaper men as sisted In the makeup of spectators. Hayward made a statement addressed to the public. In which he asserts (hla last statement regarding the murder Is correct. It Is thought! he will be exe cuted some time before 2:30. Hayward has just received the fol lowing message from Cleveland, Ohio: "Keep up your nerve. Be game to the last, old friend. Steve Brodle. In reply Hayward wired the follow winner.
