The new Re publican national committee met this morning at the Southern hotel for the purpose of organizing and becoming ac quainted with each other, there having been a number of new men pluced upon the committee by the various delega tions. Secretary Manley, of the old committee, called the new one to order, and I'owell Clayton, of Arkansas, pre sided. On motion of Mr. Scott, of West Virginia, the vacancies found to exist In the committee were filled with the ex ception of the territory of Aluska, and the District of Columbia, which, owing to the dlllicultks in making a selection, were 1 ft to the executive committee.

The mem! -s of the committee having been sount A on the subject It was de termined to elect the chairman at this meeting Instead of leaving It open until the meeting that will probably be held In New York two or three weeks hence. HANNA AS CHAIRMAN. Ml. Mark Ilanna was nominated for chairman on the motion of Mr. Payne, of Wisconsin, seconded by Pennsyl vania, Ohio and New York. He was elected by the unanimous vote of the committee. Mr. Hanna accepted the nomination In a short speech which was received with nvHause. Mr. Hanna said: 1 certainly appreciate the compliment 'and confidence which goes with It In offer ing me the position, which under ordinary circumstances 1 should be compelled to de cline, but under the present condition of affairs my loyalty and my love for our candidate induces me to go one step fur ther and see the consummation of this great victory for the Republican party. The task which I had before me In the. present campuign was arduous, but its conduct was In accordance with strict bus iness Integrity, honor and fair dealing. I wish further to say to this committee that If Mnjor McKinley Is elected president "f the United StaleB he will be elected owing no man a promise that will embarrass his administration. What he owes he owes only to his country and what he will do will be for the welfare of the Republican party. If a pure life, patriotic motives and a Arm determination to do his duty will make h's administration a success the 1'nlted States will have occasion to thank God for thi nomination made in yester day's conviction. (Applause. Mr. Manley was mnde temporary sec retary and James P. Burke, of Pitts burg, temporary assistant secretary. Colonel Swords, of Iowa, the sergeant at arms of the old committee, was kept in that position temporarily. It was agreed that Chairman Hanna should have full authority to select the the officers of the committee, Including the treasurer, which office was not even filled temporarily. Ae the instance of Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, the fol lowing resolution was unanimously agreed to: Resolved, That the chairman of this con mlttee Is hereby authorized and empow ered, after, consultation with the candi dates for president and vice president to appoint an executive committee. of nine members, who may or may not be mem bers of this committee and that tho chair man of this committee shall be chairman ex-ofllclo of the said executive commit tee. '; Mr. W. II. AndrewB acted as proxy for Senator Quay, who early this morn ing left for the east. No successor was elected to take the place of Mr, Ho bart, of Now Jersey, who was the nomi nee for the second place on the ticket. The committee adjourned, subj et to the call of the chairman, and It U under l stood the next meeting will be Ijeld n New York city In about two. or three weeks. The two committees that were ap pointed by the convention yesterday to notify Messrs. McKinley and Hobart, of their respective nominations as president and vice-president, respec tively, met this morning. . The first named committee will notify Mr. Mc Kinley at Canton, on June 29. and the committee appointed to notify the vice- president will perform a similar service at Mr. Hobart's home on July 7. CABINET POSSIBILITIES. Gossip Concerning Statesmen Who May Become McKinley' Advisors. St. Louis, June 19. The politicians who remain today are discussing the personnel of McKlnley's cabinet. In the event of his election. As a vigorous foreign policy will be one of the features of Mr. McKlnley's administration he would naturally give much care to the selection of his secre tary of state. General Benjamin Tracey. of New York, who was President Harrison's secretary of the navy. Is well regarded by some of the men whose Influence with Mr. McKinley will be very great. General Tracy Is a brilliant lawyer, and It was an open secret In Washing ton that at the time of the Chilian com plications growing out of the Baltimore incident General Tracy was the presi dent's trusted adviser on all the chang ing phases of that embarrassing prob lem. It should be stated in this con nection that Mr. Blaine, who was the secretary of state, was, during the greater part of this period. HI at his home In Augusta, which left the state department practically without a head for several months. There Is also tulk of Senator Sherman accepting again the treasury portfolio, but to this the objection is made that the work of that department under a new administration is of too trying a character for a man of Mr. Sherman's age, notwithstanding he Is Btlll in the full posesssion of all his mental and physical faculties. Mr. MeKinlty's friends also feel that the administration should have a strong champion on the Hour of the senate, as Mr. Sherman. would undoubtedly be, and is another consideration which militates against his selection for cabinet honors. Henry Clay Kvans, of Tenncssve, It is thought would be tendered the post office portfolio In the event of his fall ing to be elected next tutumn us gover nor of Tennessee. He has had experi ence In the post office department, hav ing filled the ofilce of first assistant postmaster general under P'resldlint Harrls'.m. The McKinley Maragers al-o think Well of enator Mitchell, of Orego ', who has been a staunch supporter of their champion, and It Is freely predict ed that he too, will be tendered a cabi net post, presumably that of attorney general If the legislature of his state fail to return him next winter to the senate. boominctheTlumes. tlinirnitin Attnnit Itcecomcnd the California Product nn nnKinblem.

RETURN OF THE CANTON DELEGATES The Pilgrims from St. Louis Are Greeted by Thousands of Citizens, Who Join Thera in Paying Their Respects to the Leader. Canton, Ohio, June 19. Shortly after noon preparations began making for the reception of the returning Canton delegates and the neighboring houses bertvi filling up with residents of the city. Market street, on which the Mc Kinley residence stands. Is the site of numerous handsome residences sur rounded by wide-spreading green lawns. These, with the gay decora tions, which were not confined to the house alone, but covered the grounds as well, made a bril'lnnt and attractive scene, heightened by the bright dress of scores of Canton's beautiful women and girls. The McKinley house was a busy place in a quiet way. A stream of callers, mostly residents of the sur rounding country, demanded the ma jor's frequent presence on the porch for a hand-shake. The Intervals he spent In conversation with a few friends In the library.were varied by frequent visits to the parlor, where Mrs. McKinley and a party of lady friends spent the day. In cidents more or less Interesting were not wanting, as for Instance the arrival of J. W. Smith, a colored man of Ohio, who Insisted upon seeing the major to present In person an application for a position. He failed to see him, how ever. There, was an unexpected delay In the arrival of the train and It was after 6 o'clock when the music of the band an nounced the approach of the delegation. As they came up one street a delegation of several hundred from Trumbull and Mahoning counties marched up a paral lel street and theyentered the yard front and rear, completely filling It. At that time the adjoining streets were jammed, fully 10,000 people being In sight of the house. Major McKinley received the triumphant pilgrims un der the trees in the side yard and re ceived from them such a tribute as seldom falls to the lot of man. A MEMORABLE SCENE. It was a memorable scene. Standing bareheaded Just nt the corner of the house, Mrs. McKinley sitting In a win down behind him, from which she could see and hear all that occurred, was the friend and neighbor of the excited and enthusiastic throng, the center of in terest of a whole nation, pale but out wardly compoavd, save for glistening of the eye that would not be repressed, listening first to the cheers of the as sembled thousands and then to expres sions of regard, respect, esteem and af fectlon which must have been sweeter to his ears than even the announcement of the fact which was the occasion for the demonstration. When quiet had been restored Congressman R. W. Tay lor, of the Eighteenth district, first ad dressed the major. He said: "While we were not the first to pre sent in person congratulations on the honor so worthily bestowed upon you by the Republican party, we yet rejoice that we are the very vanguard of the returning host which witnessed that Inspiring scene at St. Louis. The delegation which a few days ago left Canton with high hopes return to you with those hopes realized and with the plenslng knowedge that as you are hon ored and loved here, so are you honored and loved where ever the American ting floats. This county twenty years ago gave you to the congressional district which you have made famous. Kour years ago the district gave you to the state and now the state, the great, the splendid state of Ohio, gives you to the natlo" . hose true son you are and whose Interest has been your constant care. We know that the same devotion and loyalty, the same courage and con science, the same capacity and patriot Ism which have distinguished you from the beginning will characterize your labors in the wider field to which 'the American people will soon call you. now must your neart thrill when von recall that you are today first In the hearts of your countrymen, not because you are a presidential nominee but that you are a presidential nominee because you are first In the hearts of your coun trymen. He was followed by Judge Baldwin. of Canton, and then by Judge Day, who on behalf or the ladles of Richmond, Ind where the delegates took break fast this morning and held the first McKinley meeting In that state, pre sented a box of roses to the major for his wife. Judge Day said In part: "I speak to you, sir, not as the governor of Ohio nor as the president of the United States that shall be but I claim the great privilege on behalf of these, your old friends, of still addressing you as "neighbor," for we have not forgotten that In all these years of success and while your fame has spread to the ut termost corners of the civilized world; while you, sir, now stand on fortune's crowning slope, to us you have always been the companion, the counsellor, the guide and familiar friend. Greater tribute than this can no man bring. He then spoke of the tumultuous scene of Joy when Mr. McKinley wa nominated and closed by paying a high tribute of praise to Mrs. McKinley. M'KINLEY DEEPLY MOVED. As Major McKinley mounted the dry goods box serving as a rostrum, for the first time It was plainly seen that he was deeply moved and the renewed hurrahs from thousands of throats which greeted his appearance was not calculated to compose him. But sum moning that wonderful mastery over his emotions which has marked him at all periods In his career he was able to so far control himself as to be able to speak. He paid: Mr. Fellow Citizens: How can I make fitting response to the splendid tribute which has been paid by three of my old est and earliest friends? I think I might be excused by merely saying that I am Inadequate to the task and can only axrress my gratitude from a full overflowing heart. I have had a good many touching Incidents In my life, Yesterday Immediately after the nomi nation I was surrounded by my neigh bors and fellew citlens who did not go to St. Louis, and friends from Masslloti and Alliance, and then came more of the city of Akron last night. With all these tokens I was deeply and profoundly ir- pressed, but somehow the words spoken by these gentlemen surrounded as I am by their asosciates who Journeyed to St. Louis somehow they have touched me deeply and have sounded the depths of my heart more profoundly than any thing that has gone before. "In this audience today are representative) from all of the counties, which, for years constituted my congressional district with which I have been associated all my life. A large body of my fellow cltisens ore here from Trumbull county, the place of my birth. (Great applause) A large number are here from Mahon ln& county (Cheers from Mahoning county cltisens), the place where I spent all of my boyhood, the county where I received my education, the county from where I enlisted in the war for the pres ervation of the union way back In 1K61 (loud cheering), and around me are the latter friends for from Mahoning coun ty I come to Stark, nearly thirty years ago. You have all been my friends ever since, (loud cheers.) And the good peo ple of Trumbull county (cheers) and the good 'people of, Mahoning (cheers) and those of that old Mahoning valley and the western reserve which was so long represented in the national house by Giddlngs and Wade and the immortal Garfield, (applause) tho good people of these counties are all around me here today and, my felolw citizens will only add that I thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart for these manifestations of friendship, your devotion and your loyalty. "Canton could not help but make a good Impression at St. Louis, Stark county could not help but make a. good Impression at St. Louis and Mahoning county could not, for they all sent their best men. I am surprised that any of them should have been honored with any title below a colonel (laughter) and as you seem to have brought back what you went for, those whom you left be hind want me to say that hey are glad to see you home again." (Loud and oon tlnued cheers for the next president.) NEW YORKERS ARRIVE. While this neighborhood reception and reunion was In progress the front yard had been Invaded by the victor ious host of the McKinley league of New York, including the seventeen Mc Kinley delegates from that state. Their train was held at the station for the call to be made and as the time was precious McKinley hurried through trie house and on the front porch faeedthe the 200 eager-faced New Yorkers, who split the air with yells as he came through the door. John E. Mllholland acted as master of ceremonies and, calling for order, said they would be addressed by. the net governor of New York and the next president of the United States. Mr. Miller said: "We thought It proper on our way home from the St. Louis convention to call here and pay our respects to tho man who had been honored by the Re publican party and who Is your fellow citizen and neighbor. It has been my pleasure to know Governor MvKlnley fur nearly 20 years, and it gives me great pleasure here today to take him by the hand and congratulate him upon the great good fortune which ha come to him in his nomination and to assure him on behalf of the Republicans of tho state of New York that we shall give to him and to- the principles he represents, the largest majority In No vember that has ever been given to any presidential candidate since the organ ization of the government. (Loud cheers). "I can assure you, his friends and neighbors, that the Republicans of New York will be second to none In the whole country In their loyalty to the party In their efforts and their labors for Its suc cess. v "And now, gentlemen of the MvKlnley league or tne state or New xorK, it gives me great pleasure to Introduce to you Governor MvKlnley. (Boisterous cheering). ' Major McKinley responded as fol lows:: "My felow citizens of New York: It gives me great pleasure to meet and greet you here at my home today. It was most generous on your part to have paused In the journey to the east, long enough to have stopped, to give me the pleasure of meeting you face to face. Nothing could have been more agree able to me than to be presented to the members of the McKinley league of the state of New York, by my old friend, long a member of the house of repre sentatives at Washington and a col leagueSenator Miller. I was glad to meet and to greet him. All me have to do this year, my fellow citizens. Is to keep close to the jeople. 'Loud cheer ing). Hearken to the voice of the peo ple, have faith In the people, and If we do that, the people will win for ns a triumph for the great masterful prin ciple which In all the years of the past has given us plenty and prosperity." A few remarks by George E. Mat thews, of Buffalo, president of tho league, closed the speechmaklng. The members of the league. Including about a score of colored men, were presented to Major McKinley Individually by Mll holland, after which they rushed to their train and resumed their journey homeward.

BRITISH MINISTER WANTS PROPOSALS EnfUndla Ready to Arbitrate oa the Vcaeuclaa Question. MORE TROUBLE ON THE BORDER Although Not Officially Confirmed, It Is Evident Thnt Trouble of n More or Less Serious Character Has Oc curredTrinidnd Probably the Scene of Conflict. London, June 19. The under secretary for foreign affairs,. Mr. George N. Cur son, answering a question in the house of commune today, regarding the Vene auelan situation, said that the British ambassador at Washington, Sir Julian Pauncefote, was authorized to receive and report on proposals made by the Venezuelan representative at Wash ington. The latter, Mr. Curxon continu ed, had been informed of this, but up to the present had not made any pro posal. Negotiations were proceeding with the United States, both in regard to a definitive frontier and the arbitration of the frontier question with Venezuela under proper conditions of discussion. The latter question, Mr. Curzon fur ther stated does not offer any obstacles to the conclusion of a gv-neral arange ment with resifect to arbitration, which the government hopes to see concluded. Inquiries made ait the colonial office today show that the secretary of state for the Colonies, Mr. Joseph Chamber lain, has not received any confirmation of the reports from Caracas that a san guinary conlct had taken place In the territory In dispute between British j uuiana ana Venezuela, ana me rumor is not credited there. It Is further stated that no informa tion had been received from Caracas or Georgetown which would tend to alter the statement made by the Becre try of state for the Colonies In the house of commons yesterday, namely, that it was true that Venezuelans had crossed the boundary and had interfered with British officials who were engaged in the work of surveying. But no men tion was made of a conflict of a sanguin ary nature. Washington, June 19. Although it cannot be learnde that official confirma tion has been received as to a conflict between the British and the Venezuelan forces, yet It Is accepted as certain In official quarters that trouble of a more or less serious character has occurred. The first report came from a British source at Kingston, and referred to Venezuelan interference with .British surveyeors. Officials here say that Trinidad Is the point most likely to hear of a conflict, as It Is an Island just opposite George town, British Guiana. There Is hesita tion to accept the reports of the actual fighting, for the most serious phases of the trouble have never before brought on fighting, except in the trilling Uruan Incident, when one British Inspector Captain Barnes was arrested. Minister Andrade of Venezuela has received no word from Caracas as to the reported trouble. He feels confi dent that if a clash has occurred It Is not due to any offensive steps by the Venezuelan troops, as they are under strict orders all along the line to make no advances and to maintain only the status quo, in view of the pending nego tiations. The British embassy here has re ceived no information on .the subject DEADLYARCLIGHT. Elbert Woods and Richard MensecAre Shocked to Death by Touchioi a Wire Screw. Philadelphia, June 19. Albert Wood, thirty-two years of age, the proprietor of a photograph gallery at AVashlngton Park, In this city, and Richard Mensec, aged twenty years, a visitor to the re sort, were shocked to death last night In a singular manner. Mensec, at the conclusion of an evening's pleasure, vis ited the photograph gallery and as he approached the place threw out his hand and scraped a wire screen. He had no sooner touched tho wire cover ing than he was thrown a distance of ten feet, screaming with pain. His companions gathered about htm and In a few minutes the proprietor of the gal lery, Woods, came to the outside to learn the cause of the commotion. He was told that Mensec, who was uncon sclous, had been shocked by touching the screen, but this he was loath to be lleve. Woods touched the screen him self and was thrown heavily back wards. The victims were taken to the Samaritan hospital, but when that in stitution was reached they were both dead. The wire which feeds the arc lights In the gallery It was found had become unfastened and had fallen across the screen, charging it with 1,400 volts. Woods leaves a wife and two children. TELLER WILL REST. And Will Afterward Engage in Mis sionary Work in the West. St. Louis, June 19. Senator Teller, of Colorado,'- feels the need of rest after his exacting duties of the post fort night. In pursuance of this purpose he will leave tomorrow for Fulton, Ills., near which place his aged mother Is re siding. There he will spend a week or more. He will make the trip by water to avoid the fatigue of railway travel, It Is his Intention to participate ac tively In the campaign after the Chi cago convention shall have made Its nominations and the Issues between the two parties are fairly Joined. It is doubtful If he will come east. He believes that the great west offerB a promising field for misslonnry work. It Is In that region that he will be most generally employed.
