r.HOW AND DAVENPORT.
Samuel A. Davenport, of 'Erie, and
(inliishu A. Orow, of Susquehanna, the
present incumbents, were nominated
as coiigressmen-nt-large by acclama
tion. Delegate Robertson, of Alle
gheny, placed William E. Harrison, of
McKeesport, In nomination for this of
lice, hut he withdMW his name while
the vote was being taken, and upon his
motion the nominations of "Davenport
und Orow were made unanimous.
Ex-State Treasurer Henry K. Boyer,
of Philadelphia, was temporary chair
man of the convention, and Auditor
Oeneral Amos H. Mylln, of Lancaster,
was me permanent chairman.
The convention met at W.30 o'clock.
took a recess from 1 1 . 55 until 2.05 n. m.
and adjourned sine die at 5.15 o'clock.
The most Interesting Incident of the
convention and a most exciting one, oc
curred this afternoon after Senator
Quay tad been endorsed for the presi
dency, and when Congressman John H.
Robinson, of Delaware county, endeav
ored to put through a resolution favor
ing McKlnley as the second choice. The
endorsement of Quay Is contained In
the first plank of the platform, and the
.McKlnley resolution reads thus:
"In the event of the retirement of
the Pennsylvania candidate for presi
dent endorsed this day, Hon. Matthew
Stanley Quay, after all honorable
means have been exhausted to promote
nis nomination, tne ueiegatcs-at-large
from this state ure hereby Instructed
to vote for and suoport the candidacy
of that Napoleon of protection and ad
vance agent of prosneiity, Hon. Will
iam McKlnley, of Ohio."
The committee on resolutions had
turned down the McKlnley boom at Its
meeting, during the recess of the con
vention, but this did not deter Mr. Rob
inson from again bringing it up on the
floor of the convention as an amend
ment to the platform.
SCENE OF EXCITEMENT.
The Introduction of the resolution
created a genuine furore. Cries of
"Quay." "Quay," tilled the air, and
Chairman Mylln tried In vain to re
store order. Robinson finally mounted
the stnge and, after demanding protec
tion from the chair, he made an im
passioned address. -He started off by
telling what he had done for Quay In
the senator's tight last year, and said
he wanted the national delegates to
first support Quay, but after that. In
deference to the feelings of the people
who love Quay, there should be the
support of William McKlnley. He did
not want the delegation to go where It
did not belong on second choice. Last
year Quay was for Reed or McKlnley.
Hon. Boles Penrose declared for Mc
Klnley some time ago, the speaker
said, as did also Senator Andrews, and
the speaker had no doubt McKlnley Is
today their second choice.
Senator Boles Penrose, who replied
to Congressman Robinson, said he had
considered the name of McKlnley as
available and good, but he was not here
to work any scheme of personal aggran
dizement. He was not here to make
Quay's endorsement ridiculous and
weak before the country. Quay has
frequently been misunderstood, he has
always been victorious and today he
Is the foremost Republican in this
broad domain. He has won his spurs
by gallant fighting and last summer he
showed himself a master of political
control. He is the most likely candi
date of all those before the St. Louis
convention, and a nomination there
means his election. Shall we, his
friends, permit any person to Intro
duce any amendment to our platform
that would weaken or belittle Mr.
Quay? (Loud cries of "No," and
cheers.)
The outcome of the tumultuous affair
was the rejection of the McKlnley
amendment by a vote of 65 ayes to 178
nays. This was regarded as a test of
thf respective strength of the Quay
and anti-Quay elements.
The . original platform was - then
adopted. j
At the conclusion of the reading, Dis
trict Attorney Bchaeffer, of Delaware
county, offered as an amendment the

MURDERER'S SUICIDE.
James K. Culbertson Shoots Lilly McCor
miek and Then Kills Himself.
Chicago, April 23. James K. Culbert-
Bon, who shot and killed Lilly McCor-
mlck yesterday, and then shot himself
twice in the chest, died today at the
county hospital.
An Inquest was held on both booles
and a verdict of murder and suicide re
turned. Culbertson remained conscious
long enough to state that his wife and
14-year-old son lived at .119 Loom is
street. In this city. Another son, 16
years of at', Uvea with his grandfather
at Chamhershurg, Pa. Culbertson de
serted his wife and children five years
ago at Junction City, Kan., and came
to Chicago to live with the woman he
murdered In his drunken tit of jealousy
and rage because she would not return
to live with him. The dead woman s
home Is In Junction City. A child was
born to them four years ago and will
be taken care of by his grandmother.
The murderer's victim was going from
the Hat of Mrs. Richard Newland, 9
Church street, where she lived, to the
grocery store, after appealing in vain
to the police to protect her from his
drunken threats to return and kill her,
when he confronted her In the yard,

Impossibility of securing proper mili
tary reliefs for Madagascar the cabi
net was compelled to resign.
The premier was frequently Inter
rupted with cries from the Extreme
Left of "Down with tne senate." and
when the ministers filed out of the
house there was loud applause from the
Right and Center, to which the Left
replied with loud cries of "Turn out the
senate," "Down with the senate." A
prolonged tumult followed.
According to the newspapers here
President Faure has declined to coun
tersign the bill providing for'the re
vision of the constitution which the
premier. M. Bourgeois, wished to sub
mit to the chamber of deputies today,
it Is also said that In view of the presi
dent's refusal the members of the Rad

duce a motion denying the senate the
right to be the sole interpreter of the
constitution, und demanding that a
meeting of the national assembly be
railed to decide the question In dis
pute. V
Several of the newspapers this morn
ing announced that they anlclpated a
series of maneuvers calculated to com
pel M. Bourgeois to remain in office,
and expressed the opinion that the ses

MISSISSIPPI VS. MISSOURI
Battle in the Naval Committee Rooms.
. Inkstands. Rulers and Pocket Knives
as Weapons It la nought That
Shooting Will Follow.
Washington, April 23. A serious per
snnal encounter. In which the He was
passed and knives were drawn, and
whloh It Is believed will culminate in
a shooting affray, was the sensation
of the capitol today. The parties to It
ure Senator-elect Money, of Mlssls
stsppl, a man of small stature but of In
tense energy, and Congressman Hall,
of Missouri, a six-footer, with temper
and asperity In proportion.
The men were In the rooms of the
liavul committee of the house shortly
after noon today. They had been op
lxslng each other on the Line and Staff
bill, .Money being for the line and Hall
ftfr the staff. There were present at
the' time Congressman Bartlett, Hall,
Myer, Commodore Matthews and
Thomas C. Oakley, the assistant door
keeper of the house. Hall said rather
broadly that Money had made state
ments to the committee which he knew
to be-untrue. Money retorted In kind,
linll repeated the assertion In an of
fensive tone, to which the MIssiBslpplan
responded In terms that would. In the
south, be dpnmed an Insult only to be
aver.ped by blood. 1
When the words were uttered both
men reached for an Ink bottle which
was iil'On the table. Hall got It and
with an oath he hurled it at Money,
wl.o oniy ducked In time to save him
self from harm. Coakley, who had
Jumped In between the disputants,
barely escaped the missile. Bartlett
end Commodore Matthews both sought
shelter beneath the table while the
combatants Hung Ink bottles and rulers
at 'each other. Finally they clinched.
Coakley and Myer tore them apart only
to find that each of them had drawn
his knife and vowed to kill the other.
Coakley grappled with the Missourlan
and held him, while Myer took care of
Money.-
THE SCARS OF BATTLE.
Money has an ugly gash on his fore
head. and Hall has a lump as large as a
goose egg on the back of his head. Both
are now in charge of their friends. It
is feared that when they meet there
will be shooting. Money has sent for
his son, who has a reputation, as well
as a record, as a shot. He is In the
city. Hall Is aware of the critical sit
uation and will undoubtedly prepare
himself. Many here think It will be a
case of an exchange of shots at sight.
The affair Is deeply deplored by every
one except' the fire-eaters, to whom it
is a subject for sensational conjectures.
Every effort will b made to keep the
parties rrom meeting, but It Is feared
this will be impossible. Both have been
hurried away from th canltol.
Hall has been somewhat unpopular
with the members from the south for
the reason that, though elected an a
free silver man, he has. It Is alleged,
become a gold bug. v Considering, too,

Cuban Rebels Who Surrender Within
Twenty Days Wilt be Pordoned-Good
Results Fxpeeted.
Havana, April 23. Ca pa In General
Weyler tonight Issued a proclamation
which he expects will result In many
of the rebels laying down their arms.
The proclamation says in substance
that the insurgents In the province of

passing the military line extending
from Marlel to Majana, and by their
constant persecution by the troops.
It being known that many of the In
surgents are desirous of surrendering,
but fear to do so, believing they will
be shot, he therefore orders that all
rebel leaders and their followers who
during the next twenty days shall pre
sent themselves with their arms to
the military authorities In that prov
ince will be pardoned. Pardon will
also be ex.'nded to those rebels and
rebel Rvnitintliim whn snrt-enHor
without arms. The military authorl-
ties, tne proclamation adds, reserve
the right to dclde where those who
surrender shall reside.

tance was steamed over. The ship was
speeded for a little less than two hours,
and in that time she averaged 15.58
knots an hour, which is .59 of a knot
above her contract Bpeed. If the vessel
carries out the expectations raised by
her performance today, she should
make a full 16 knots on her official trial
Saturday and earn her builders a bonus
of $100,000.
It was a perfect spring morning as
the sun ever rose upon when the Massa
chusetts headed down the bay for the
open sea. but there was a heavy swell
rolling In from the ocean. This swell
soon made Itself apparent to those
aboard the ship. Several sailors were
forward securing the anchor. The
Massachusetts poked her nose Into a
roller and a small sea broke over the
bows. This was followed an Instant
afterwards by a torrent of white crest
ed foaming water, which swept the
men at work along the deck like nine
pins.
SAILOR INJURED.
All but one of them escaped with a
good drenching, but one sailor was
thrown against an anchor fluke and his
leg was badly cut. The vessel plunged
continually under water. Two sailors
were sent forward to cover the forward
ventilators with tarpaulins as the lower
deck was being flooded out. While
they were tying the canvas around the
ventilators a particularly big sea came
over the boat. As the wall of water
came at them both men hung on for
their lives. The sea lifted them from
their feet and swung them Into the air,
Dntn had a good grip, one on a ventila
tor and the other on a backstay, and
both held on, but as the sea dropped
them back on the deck one of the men
was dashed with such force upon the
planks that his ankre was sprained
It was necessary to bring the vessel
broadside onto the surge before the
ventilators could be secured.
After the Massachusetts got out to
sea, the swell was not so heavy, but
nevertheless the surge was big enough
to materially reduce the speed of the
Bhip. Despite the heavy swell the
Massachusetts hardly rolled at sea, and
proved that she Is an excellent gun
piatrorm.
