I M'KINLEY'S PLANS FOR CAMPAIGN Holds a Conference With National Chair man Mark Hanna. CRISP LITERATURE IS WANTED The l.t'iiders Not iu favor of Stagger iiig the Voters with Heavy Speeches on the Currency Question" Work on the Letter of Acceptance. . Cleveland. July 26. Major McKlnley ami Murk Hunna, chuirman of the Re publican national committee, have been In conference most of the day and even ing at Mr. Manila's beautiful suburban home on the lake side. Major McKIn ley returned from Canton last evening anil was at once driven to Mr. Manna's home. Although Major McKlnley had been In Cleveland most of the week alio! had been a guest ull of that time at Mr. Manna's house, the candidate and his manager hud no opportunity to discuss the forthcoming campaign. Ma jor McKlnley said today: "Mr. Manna and I have had but one extended talk since my nomination, and now 1 lind that there are scores of mat ters which demand attention and dis cussion with Mr. Hunna." The campaign has been outlined In a general way only by Mr. Hannu and his committee. They do not know what turn affairs may tuke iu reference to another Democratic ticket and of ne cessity their actions ale somewhat lim ited in scope und significance by the im perfectly developed situation which confronts them. lTnder the clicuui stunces the most that can be done Is to have campaign literature of an In forming character quickly prepared and widely circulated. Senator Sherman, who was here two or three days lusl week to participate in tile centennial exercises, is somewbul alarmed at the manifestations of the silver sentiment in certain sections and communities. Me told Major McKlnley that his voluminous correspondence was laden with inquiries about the money question, and he was of opinion that most active measures to combat the silver sentiment ought to be taken at once. Me urges both Mr. Manna and Major McKlnley to have the speaking campaign begun at once, and said he was ready and willing to take the stump at a moment's notice. Oilier Republi cans of prominence, such as Senator Haw ley and ex-Governor Merrluin, of Minnesota, have expressed themselves in pretty in a h the same manner to both Major JcKinlcy und Mr. Manna. Major McKlnley and his manager huve reached the conclusion that the best results this year will be attained by holding lurge. Indeed, uncommonly large number of political meetings. PLAIN TALK. It is believed that It will be dltllciilt to get people to read heavy cougreb slolial speeches on the money question, or other long documents. On the other ham! there Is abundant evidence of a lively demand for clear, crisp, simple talk on the money question, and for shmt articles and leaflets bearing upon tt. In short this year the committees of both Parties will undoubtedly spend their money to keep hundreds of speak ers at work in the field Instead of send ing out millions of dreary documents as has frequently been done. Ma jor McKlnley und Mr. Hanna are of one iiilmi upon this point, and the necessary orders to the clerk In churge of this work will be tlven out at once. When Major McKlnley settles down in Canton again this week, he will begin to think seriously about bis letter of u'i'citunie. Me expects to begin work on It williiu ten days and may have a draft of it complete within n fortnight. It is not his Intention to make it public I'm 11 month or so, however. Me wants to see what I urn events will tuke and needs something to determine the ulti mate cast which he shall Rive to the is sues of the campaign. The letter of ac ceptance will b a sort of tlnul. supple mentary, up-to-date pint form and the grout work of the cunipalgn will be done on the lines which It Indicates. Major McKlnley will prepare this document with greutcure and It will be one of the most important utterances of the cum pnlMii. PLANNING THE CAMPAIGN. Chairman Hanna Will Meet Member of the Executive Committee at New York on Tuesday Next. Cleveland. July 20. M. A Hanna will reach New York next Tuesday and there will find awaiting him Senator l'ructnr, Hunitlel Fessenden, Oeorge If. I.yman. P. l. Cheney, Frederick Gihbs, C. II. Hrayton, Uarrett A. Mobart. Jo seph H. Mauley, Senator M. 8. Quay, Powell Clayton. N. B. Scott und gen eral William M. Osborne. There ure many things to be consid ered. The appointment of Cornelius N. Hllss as treasurer of the executive com mittee Is expected to be made public early in the week. In discussing the campaign, Mr. Hanna today suld: "The infatuation of a considerable portion of the people of the west with the free silver craze may be attributed Very largely to the seductive form In which the free silver advocates have put forward their side of the financial question. To offset the effect thus pro duced we have decided to scatter broad cast quantities of literature calculated to present the money lsRUe in Its true light. Another feature of this canvass will be the active participation of the workingmun." holdups In CmCAQO. The Kong und Short Combination En ter Grocery Mtore. Chicago, July 26. Shortly after tight o'clock lust evening store hold up No. 21 took place when two young men en-' tercel the Jewelry store of C. M. Robert son, of No. 187 North Clark street, and asked to be shown several articles of Jewelry which they endeavored to pock et. Mr. Robertson, however, got the drop on his visitors and locking the door to prevent their escape held them at bay with a revolver until the police came to his assistance. At the police station the young men rave their names as James flobtusan and Frank Har per. The police clajm to know Robin son as a tough character. , ' Store hold-up number 22. was suc cessfully carried out about 9.30 o'clock when the "long" and "short" combina tion entered the grocery store of James O'Keilly, at 134 Morgan street, and while one man held a revolver under Mr. O'Reilly's nose and robbed him of his watch, the other scooped $15 out of the money drawer and then both es caped in the darkness. WINSLOW WILLREFUSE TO RUN. Maiue Candidate lor Governor lie dine lo Swallow Chicago Ticket. Portland, Me., Jly 26 Kdward 13. Wlnslow Will decline the Democratic nomination for governor of Maine. This decision, arrived at, means several things. It means that from this time there will be in this state a stand-up tight In the Democratic party between the two factions. Mr. Winslow decided today, after a full exchange of opinion, to write a let ter of deelinutlon to the committee that bus not Hied him of his nomination by the stale convention last month. . As a gold man he is not ready to endorse Bryan and Sewull, dlul so told the gen tlemen who were present at the confer ence this morning. The silver men assumed the offensive soon ufter the return of Mr. Sewall from Chicago, und they finally made un outright demand that Mr. vYtuslow, in his letter of acceptance, should endorse the nomination of Bryan and Sewall, re ptidiute the platform adopted by the state convention, and endorse the free silver plank of the Chicugo platform. Mr. Wlnslow today suld: "I have decided lo decline the iioinl nutloii. 1 have not been forced from the ticket- no one could force me from thai but I could not consent to the -munds of the free silver men. Further than this I huve nothing to say at this lime." , Whether or not the Democrats will call another convention is doubtful. Mr. Wllislow's letter of declination will be ready In a few days, and It will be a strong statement of his views on the llna'ueiul question and, In effect, un ad dress to the Democratic party in the states to stand by u gold standard. THE IRISH CONVENTION. It In Likely to Ileal ttie Schisms und Revive Home Rule. London, July 26.-The Irish National convention, which opens In Dublin mi September 1, Is shaping toward a greut historical gathering. Through out Ireland und In the populous centres of Kngluud und Scotland the Nation alist societies are appointing delegates und discussing the probable platform of the convention with the heartiest en thusiasm. Advices from ,Huiilh Africa and Aus tralia are like those from the Culled Stutes und Cunudu. From every quar ter of the globe where a nucleus of Irishmen can be found sufficient to form an association, delegates are com ing. The convention will not only rep resent the mass of the Irish luce, but will ulso have besides a Working lev erage of money toward the organiza tion of a great united party. That the convention will heal existing schisms and gent-hate home rule seems assured. Mr. Healeyund his followers will be present at the convention as friends to itrt alms. Outside of the Kugllsli press no one yet credits Mr. Redmond and his section with any desire or dtslgn to thwart this gieut uutlouul movement. - -KILLED BY CITY MARSHAL. Ale.

SITUATION SERIOUS IN THE EAST Insurfcnts In Macedonia Have Become Formidable. TURKISH TROOPS ARE DEFEATED While Greece Remain, Indifferent the Cretaas Continue to Be Active. Discontent Among the forte's Sol dier ou Account of Puynnd Rations. Comments of the Press. Berlin, July 26. Count Goluchowskl, Austrian minister of foreign affairs, re turned to Ischl for the purpose of hold ing an interview with F.mperor Francis Joseph after having had a conference with Prince Mohenlohe, the German chancellor. On the duy of his return to Vlennu Count Ooluchowskl hud in Interview with Count Nigra, the Italian ainbussudor to Austriu, und since then Count Nigra has been summoned to Rome by the Marquis Visconli- Venostn, the ltaliun minister of foreign affairs. Tlie.se comings and goings of diplo matic chiefs cannot be attributed to any other cuuse than the gravity of the situation in the east. A concert of the powers has failed to effect any good results as has already been stated, und the events which ure now taking place completely overwhelm diplomacy. According to telegraphic advices re ceived here yesterday the rising of til" Insurgents In Mucedouia has become extremely formidable. Greece, while pretending to tuke stringent measures uguliist any persons engaging In a raid upon the Macedonian frontier, bus al lowed upwards of six hundred men, ail of them armed to enter Macedonia from Greek territory. These men ufter sur prising and cutting to pieces the Turk ish troops at Motissu. succeeded ill re pulsing a slrong force of Turkish sol diers which hud been Relit from Salonlc i to reinforce the Moussa troops. A dispatch to the Vossische Zeltung says that the reliefs (reserves) who huve been culled out under un Irade from the sultan, ure showing a dispo tioll to revolt In consequence of the fuet that their pay Is very much hi arrears and the rations which are being issued to them are very bud in quullty and Very small In quantity. A special dis patch received by the Nette Freie Press from Sulonlca on Thursday suys that the statements mude by the Turkish officials concerning the situutlon ure all calculated to conceal the desperate con dition of affairs In Macedonia. Hard fighting Is going on almost every day at Druuinltzu. Series and ull points in the PeiTm mountains. The Turkish re serves at Prlssreiid, Preshtlua und else where In that section are being equipped aiid sent to the front as rapid ly as possible, and It Is estimated that the total number of Turkish troops con centrated on the Macedonian and Bul garian frontiers exceeds 7,000 men. Kven this force, however, has not been found sufficient to make any headway against the insurrection, which under tlie Inlluences of successes already achieved by the Insurgents In the Held, Is becoming stronger every day.

Stimulated by these and similar re ports, seiui-otllclal newspaper organs like the North German Gazette and the Cologne Guzette ure. taking a more definite tone In Ihelr articles comment ing upon the gravity of the situation. Tlie North German Gazette reproduces an urtlcle from the Cologne Gazelle which declares that unless the powers Interfere In an energetic way Instead of submitting proposuls to the porte, the troubles In Crete will never end. The Relchsbote (Conservative) pub lishes u letter written by a German lady living at Monustlr, wherein the writer Kiarrates atrocities which ure practiced there every day without the slightest attempt at interference on the part of tlie auf liorllies. Among the horrors of which the lady treats in her communication are detailed the fact of Turks outraging Macedonian women and girls publicly in the streets, before the eyes of their husbands and parents. This letter lias stirred up a strong feel ing of public Indigiiutioii here, more, in fuet, than the einoter massacres and outrages iu Armenia.
