Saratoga. N. Y., June 24. The Dem

o'clock this afternoon. Senator Hill.
Mr. Whitney and Mr. Flower arrived
seirarately shortly before the convention
was called to order and each was greet

representatives, and not by the agent of
monopolies; and he will present himself
before the people clean, safe and un

the presidency dictated by Influences
which hav j never before so boldly en
tered a national convention. Oeneral
Thatcher quoted the words of Thomas
C. IMatt that MrKiiiley'g managers en
deavored to secure support In one part
of the country by declaring that he fa
vored a gold standard and In other
parts by declaring he Is In favor of sil
ver. Passing to the prospective differences
on the money question at the coming
Chicago convention,- General Thatcher
said: "Circumstances have created
what we believe to be an erroneous I
financial faith, a. faith that has spread !
alarmingly In the west and south and'
which has found adherents even In the
east and iivirth." It Is a faith, he said,
which i not to be eradicated with the
sword, but with the pen nnd tymgue.
If we are to accomplish our mission at
Chicago, he continued, we must go
there to persuade erring brothers and
not to iuarrcl with enemies. When
Chairman Thatcher had finished his
speech the roll was called and commit
tees were appointed. The convention
then took a. reress until S o'clock.
The convention reassembled at 3.30 p.
m. The credentials committee reported
that the sitting delegates from Kings,
Queens and Richmond counties are en

The Shepardltes marched out of the
hall amid a chorus of cheers mingled
with hisses.
The committee on permanent organi
zation rejxrted that the temporary or
ganization be made the permanent or

The platform was presented by Sena

tions. The platform was as follows:
It would be folly to Ignore and Impossl.
bio to exaggerate the gravity of the con
ditions under which this convention as
sembles. Most of (he other Btates of the
Union have selected and commissioned
their delegates to the natlonul Democratic
covnention. By a movement evidently

given to the delegations of a large num

new platform for the Democratic party.
Upon such new matter thus proposed to
be Incorporated among the tenets of the
party It becomes the duty of the Demo

must stand on both metals."
The action of a Iteoubllcan congress
and a Republican president deprived sil

and currency of the nation. From this act
(for which the Democratic party was In
no wise responsible) and from the action

KERSHNER FOUND DEAD.
A Real Estate Agent's Strange Death
I nciplaincd.
Reading June 24. This city was
startled this evening by the announce
ment that Gearge W. Kershner, the
well-known real estate agent had been
found shot In the yard at Causer's hotel.
Ninth and Penn streets. At first It was
thought to have been suicide, but the
weapon cannot be found and just how
he met his death is shrouded In mys
tery. The supposition Is that he was killed
by a stray bullet or by some unknown
person. The ball, a 32 calibre, entered
the left temple and passed nearly
through the head bulging out on the
other side. There were no powder marks
and death must have been Instantan
eous. Deceased was about 54 years of
age and had charge of the renting of
several hundred properties. Chief of
police Albrecht Is of the opinion that
it was not a case of suicide and a
thorough investigation Is being made.
WHEELS AT THE WEDDING.

Trenton, N. J., June 24. There was a
novel wedding today at high noon at
the home of the bride, 24 Lamberton
street, when Miss Nettie C. Morris be
came the wife of Harry E. Stahl, son of
Captain E. Stahl. The bride was at
tired In a natty bicycling suit of blousy
bloomers and gray leggings. Mr. Stahl
was d rawed in an equally becoming bi
cycle suit.
The couples rested on their wheels
and the ceremony whs performed by
the Rev. George Ingram, pastor of the
Fifth Presbyterian church. The couple

M'KINLEY'S LETTERS.
The Presidential Nominee Receives
4,000 Daily Various Messages
of Congratulation.
Canton. Ohio, June 24. When Major
McKlnley came down to breakfast this
morninir lie found the postman had left
a thousand letters. The aveiase num. j
bcr of letters received dally Is upwards
of 4.0(H).
The first callers today were Governor
J. H. McGraw, of Washington, R. C.
Washburn, editor of the Seattle Post
Intelligencer and John Mome, of Zanes
ville, one of the well-known manufact
ures of Ohio. Governor McGraw
thinks Washington will support the
sound money party and platform, for
the reason that the population of the
state Is largely made up of educated
people from the east, who view with
alarm the demands of the free silver
men.
Editor Washburn predicts that all of
the coast states will be carried ,by the
Republicans, but thinks they may lose
Idnho, Colorado and Montana.
Major McKlnley nald today that he
had not been Informed that the date
for the visit of the notillcation commit
tee had been changed, as announced
In dispatches from Cleveland In certain
papers this morning. He is going on
with his arrangements, for the recep
tion of the committee on Monday and
has ordered a large tent to be set up on
his lawn Monday morning. Luncheon
for a hundred persons will be served In
the tent. At half past one the members
of the Republican Kdltorlnl association
of Michigan arrived from Cleveland
and called on Major McKlnley.
Among the messages of congratula
tion which reached Major McKlnley
this afternoon was one from Governor
Bradley, of Kentucky: Governor Morell,
of Kansas, and Major General O. O.
Howard. The interesting feature of
the day In Canton was the reception
of the Michigan editors and their wives.
Arrangements are being made by the
residents of Canton, of Pennsylvania
origin, to give a Bpeclal personal and
hearty reception to Senator Quay when
he comes here Monday next.
LEE LETTER A FAKE. .
Spuuisli Olticinls Arc Convinced Thnt
It Was Uogos.
Washington, June 24. State depart
ment olllclals are satisfied that the let
ter alleged to have been received by a
relative of General Fitzhugh Lee from
the latter containing severe rellectlons
on Spanish methods In Cuba and pub
lished In several newspapers, Is a
"fake" pue and simple. The relative
In question denies absolutely that he
received such a letter and also says
that he has not been In correspondence
with the consul for several months.
If the Spanish government makes any
Inquiry about the matter It will be
given positive evidence that no such
letter was written by General Lee and
that Imposition was practiced on the
Washington correspondents who tele
graphed It to their newspapers.

A Wild Scene in the Indiana State
Convention.
Columbus. Ohio, June 24. State
Chairman M. A. Smalley. in calling the
Democratic convention to order made
no speech, simply reading the list of
temporary officers selected by the state
commttetee.
Colonel W. A. Taylor, on assuming
his duties as temporary chairman,
thanked the convention for the honor of
being called to preside over what he
cnlled "This Pentrostral uprising of the
people;" It was more than a state con
vention. Hut twice in our nation's his
tory has the present uprising of the
people been even approximately par
alleled In 1828, which gave us Jackson;
in 1860 which gave us Lincoln.
Colonel Taylor made a strong free
silver speech and concluded as follows:
"You have no war to make on capital.
You will make no war upon It. You
intend to respect Its rights, and you
Intend that It shall respect your rights.
If you did more or did less than these
things you would be unworthy the title

speech a delegate secured the floor and

short speech General Warner said he

HOWL AT INDIANAPOLIS.
Gold nnd Silver Democrats Form
n
Verv Lively Convention.
Indianapolis, June 24. When the
Democratic state convention was called
to order today the hall was crowded to
tho doors. While silver men had an
overwhelming majority, the gold men
succeeded by strategy In capturing the
committee on organization and turning
down J. G. Shankllng and B. F. Shlvely,
whom the silver people had fixed upon
for delegates-at-large, and recom
mendJng In their stead G. V. Menzles, a
gold man, and Judge James McCabe,
whoBe enthusiasm for silver Is not very
strong. After prayer and roll call the
organization committee reported In fa
vor of Senators Voorhees and Turple,
Major Menstes and Judge McCabe for
delegates-at-large. The Bllver men at
once moved to have Shankllng's name
substituted for that of Menzles. Con
gressman Bynum moved to table the
motion, but this was voted down.
Shankllng got the floor and endeavored
to withdraw his name, but thete were
many cries of "No, no."
The platform was started on Its way
by a motion for the previous question,
when W. D. Bynum arose nnd a wild
scene ensued. He was Intending to of'
fer a minority report. The convention
endeavored to 'howl him down, but ho
stood his ground. Chairman Bell de
clared him out of order, and declared
the platform adopted, but Bynum wild
ly gesticulated and declared that he
was acting under the rules, Each side
tried to out-yell the other and the police
were ordered to clear the aisles, but
Bynum still stood untouched, Senator
Turple was brought forward and start'
ed to speak, but It was five minutes be
fore he could be heard. He waa finally
given attention, while he made a silver
speech of some lengt h.
BYNUM PERSISTENT.
Alf the time the set ator talked Bynum
stood In the aisle, at d when the speech
was through again claimed attention,
tid porfit'lon was -esumed, Ovf
hour of confusion was spent In trying
to get a hearing for Bynum. Finally
when everybody was tired out, ex-Congressman
John E. Lamb, a silver dele
gate, moved that Bynum be given five
minutes of time, and order was grad
ually testored. A roll waa taken on
this motion which was carried by a
slight majority. When Mr. Bynum took
the stage, he was greeted with hoots,
hisses and cheers. He first explained
that under the rules of the convention
he had a right to be heard, and then
read the amendment which he had in
tended to offer. This was to strike out
the financial plank and Insert in Its
stead a financial plank adopted at Chi
cago In 1892. After reading this he de
clared that Grover Cleveland was for
sound money and that ninety per cent,
of the Democrats of Indiana were for
Grover Cleveland still. This was greet
ed with such a storm of hoots and
howls that nothing further could be
heard. The convention would not listen
to another word and Bynum was finally
compelled to retire.
The platform adopted expressed sym
pathy for the Cubans, and that they
should be granted belligerent rights.
The election of United States senators
by the direct vote of the people was
favored, and the delegates to the na
tional convention were Instructed to
cast the votes first, last and all the
time for Governor Claude Matthews,
and to vote as a unit.
The financial plank follows:
We reatllrm our adherence and faith In
the Democratic doctrine of bimetallism
and therefore we demand the Immediate
restoration of bimetallism by the free and
unlimited coinage of both silver and golJ
as primary money at the ratio of sixteen
to one, without waiting the co-operation
of Great Britain or any other foreign
power, such coinage to be full tender pay
ment of all debts, public and private.
The following were elected delegates
at large:

Mrs. Rebecca Sutton Kills Martin Reed
and Then Commits Suicide.
Jealousy the Cause.
Hampton Junction, N. J., June 24. A
double tragedy occurred here this morn
ing. Mrs. Rebecca Sutton, aged 45
years, fatally shot her paramour, Mar
tin Rreo, aged 28 years, and then shot
and killed herself. The woman died
Instantly and Reed lived but two hours.
Jealousy is supposed to have been the
cause of the tragedy. Mrs. Sutton and
Tteed had been intimate for some time.
They formerly resided at Callfon.where
Reed was aAoarder in the Sutton house
hold. Sutton and his wife separated,
and Mrs. Sutton came here and became
Intimate with Reed. She entered the
employ of Hotelkeeper Illff as house
keeper. Reed followed her and they
were frequently seen together. Last
night they went riding together and
did not return to the hotel until nearly
midnight.
This morning the woman arose early
and prepared breakfast at the hotel.
Some time afterwards Mr. Illff heard
the report of a pistol upstairs and he
hastened to the spot. He found Mrs.
Sutton on the floor dead and Reed was
lying on a bed with two bullet wounds In
his head and one In his body. He died
two hours later. The supposition Is that
Mrs. Sutton shot Reed and believing
him to be dead, killed herself. Mrs.
Sutton leaves a family of eight children.
the oldest 14 years of age. Her hus
band still lives at Callfon. Reed is
unmarried.
SILVER IN GEORGIA.
Dclcgntcs Will Vote for Any Un
limited Coinage Candidate.
Macon, Gn June 24. Macon is to
night crowded with Democrats repres
enting every faction of the party, to at
tend the Btate Democratic convention
here tomorrow. As silver delegates
largely predominate, a platform suit
able to their views will be adopted. The
delegates will probably go to Chicago
Instructed to vote for the nominee of
the national convention whoever he
may be provided he favors the free
and unlimited coinage of silver.
There Is no opposition to the present
governor and state house officers.
IT BEATS THE OLD POTATO BUG.
A New Pest for Which Paris Green
Apparently litis No Terrors.
Stroudsburg, June 24. A new va
riety of potato bug has been discovered
In this county which Is said to be a great
deal worse than the old pest. It Is an
Insect about three times as large as an
ordlnnry fly, and of dull black color. It
eats the vegetables from the top clean
into the ground.
Paris green and other poisons have
been tried upon them without effect.
The farmers are much concerned, and
experts are puzzled.

MORE TROUBLE
IN VENEZUELA
Mr. Olney Will Be Asked to Interfere la
tbe Harrison Case.
HIS GOOD OFFICES ARE DESIRED
Venezuelans Are Elated Over British
Departure from I'ltimatnm Methods
in Dealing with Small Republics.
Opinions as to Responsibility.
Washington, June 24. As soon as Sec
retory Olney returns to the Btate de
partment he will receive from. Sir Julian
Pauncefote. the British ambassador, a
request from the British government to
use good offices with Venexuela to se
cure the release from Imprisonment of
Crown Surveyor Harrison, who Is re
ported to have been arrested by Ven
ezuelan police while he was engaged In
constructing a road connecting the
Barlma and Cuyuml rivers In the dis
puted territory. This action of Great
Britain is considered In diplomatic cir
cles a radical departure from the ulti
matum methods hitherto practiced on
American republics and much signifi
cance is attached to this fact as prob
ably Indicating the considerable pro
gress made towards an arbitration
agreement and the practical acknow
ledgment mat tne united Btates is a
party in Interest In the Venezuelan dis
pute as well as In future controversies
regarding territory on the American
continent. While It Is universally ad
mitted that the new Incident la exceed
ingly unfortunate just at this juncture,
there Is great diversity of opinion In
fixing the blame. Even the British
government has the most 'indefinite
knowledge of the exact locality where
the arrest took place, although It Is
claimed that the surveying party had
no authority to go outside of territory
oocupled exclusively by Englishmen for
the past ten years.
i"t official knowledge of the arrest
has yebeen received at the Venezuelan
legation, wrierj confidence Is expressed
that the Venezuelan government would
have sent a notice of tbe affair, perhaps
for the Information of thV United States
government, the moment the facts be
came known at Caracas. The Vene
zuclans, however, find considerable Ma
lefaction In the information that Orea
Britain will appeal to Secretary Olney
In the matter as Indicating that It Is
not considered of so serious a nature as
at first apprehended. They place the
whole blame for whatever has occurred
on Joseph Chamberlain's aggressive
colonial policy. Thoy point to tke fact
that under date of December 19. 184.
they complained to Secretary Gresham
of the proposed road upon which sur
veyor: Harrison was employed, and
called attention to the fact that as the
route lay In Venezuelan territory a con
flict would be unavoidable.
VENEZUELA'S CLAIM.
Venezuleans now claim that the re-
(tponstbility rests wholly with Great
Britalu after the warning that went to
the foreign office through colonial as
well as through United States channels.
It is contended at the- legation here
that the Venezuelan authorities who
made the arrest must of necessity have
been In their own territory as they ara
not permitted to cross the frontier un
der any circumstances. The Venezuel
ans to a man also are aware that they
have everything to gain by peaceful
methods and It Is Incredible to thetr
friends here that they could have so
disobeyed orders to break the statu quo.
It is said, however, that If Secretary
Olney calls on Venezuela In response
to Great Britain's request that a full
report of the affair will undoubtedly bo
forthcoming as soon as the Caracas au
thorities can Investigate.
