There were present Chairman of the Republican Committee Odell nnd Con gressmen Ray, Alexander, Ketcham, LIttauer, Tompkins. Sherman, Wads worth, Emerson, Stewart and Hooker. Tho absentees were Congressmen Payne, who Is on his -way to Alaska; O'Grady, who Is in Europe; Cochrane, Chlckerlng, Grlscoll nnd Goelet. At tho opening of the meeting It was moved that the delegation support Mr. Sherman and there was trouble at once. Congressmen Ray and Wadsworth Jumped to their feet and objected. The sentiment of the country and of the state, they said, was for Mr. Hender son. Congressman LIttauer Insisted on having the motion put and Messrs. Ray and Wadsworth left the meeting. On coming out of the room Mr. Ray made public a letter from Congressman Payne, In which he declared his pref erence for Mr. Henderson nnd intimat ed that others of tho absent members feel the same way. Mr. Sherman said prior to the meet ing that ho would abide by the de cision of the caucus, and after the, withdrawal of Congressman LIttauer it looked as if other members would have to retire to prevent a split. An agree ment was reached promptly, however, through the action of Mr. Sherman, who realizing that ho could not have the united support of the delegation, cast his vote and transferred his fol lowing to Mr. Henderson. Immediate ly after the meeting he telegraphed the successful candidate extending the unanimous support of the delegation. THE PRESIDENT'S SYMPATHY. Expressed in a Telegram to Miss Anne Thomson. Philadelphia, June fi. The sudden death last night of Frank Thomson, president of the Pennsylvania railroad, at his country home, "Corkershlll," in .Merion, a suburb of this city, caused profound regret and surprise In rail road and financial circles and among tho many friends of the late head of the Pennsylvania system. Telegrams of condolence have been pouring in all day from nil sections of tho country from men prominent In every walk of life. Among those who telegraphed were President McKinley and members of his cabinet, the heads of ull of the railroads of the country, presidents of Insurance and financial institutions, and personal friends of Mr. Thomson and his family. The president's mes sage reads as follows: Executlvo Mansion, Washington, Juno fi. Miss Anne Thomson, care 13. T. Posthlho- walte: You have, the heartfelt sympathy of Mrs. McKlnloy and myself In tho loss of your dear devoted fother. AVo share In your sorrow. William McKinley. It is the wish of the children of Mr. Thomson that the funeral of their father shall be private and without display. This afternoon, after they had consulted with A. J. Cnssatt and E. T. I'osthlewalte. the announcement was made that tho services will be hold at the house at It o'clock Thursday morn ing. Rev, Dr. S. D. MncConnell, ot Brooklyn, a close friend of Mr. Thom son, has been asked to conduct the funeral services. A special train will leave New Yotk at S.15 a, in. Thurs day to bring to the funeral the rail road and financial associates of Mr. Thomson and his personal frlend3 liv ing In that locality. The honorary pall bearers will be the directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad company. The directors of tho company will meet tomorrow nnd take action on Mr. Thomson's death. At the same time his successor will probably bo tempor arily chosen. There has naturally been much discussion regarding the succes sor of Mr. Thomson and those in the best position to know agree that tho responsibility will fall to either James McCrca, first vice-president, of the lines west of Plttshurg, or S. M. Pro vost, at present third vice-president of the company. In tho natural lino of succession John T. Green, first vice president of tho Pennsylvania system, would be promoted to tho presidency, but it is understood that gentleman does not desire the position. The same may be said of A. J. Cassatt, who has also been strongly mentioned. Mr. Green will perforin the duties of presi dent until a temporary choice Is made. Tho board of directors of tho com pany, at the special meeting tomor row, will adopt resolutions on tho death of President Thomson. It is quite like ly that at. the samo time some informal agreement will bo made regarding tho late of a future meeting at which Mr. Thomson's successor will be chos. en. This, it Is reported, will be done within the next few days, but as yet thero is nothing to Indicate who will assume the place. ..nny men are spok on of, but the set policy of the com pany to promoto its officials Is so well established that any ono outside being called in is looked on ns extremely doubtful. The logical order of succession would glvo tho ofllce to First Vice President John Green. It is not known whether Captain Green would accept, as It was stated ho was not anxious to assume the responsibilities of the position. An other name prominently mentioned is that of Vice President James McCrea, of tho Pennsylvania company. Mr. Mc Crea for years has been in close rela- with tho nai ijivanla Ra d i .1n t.-. T.... . . Pennsylvania Ra d company. Charles E. Pun.., .second vlco nros Ident, is also mentioned, ns well as Third Vice President S. M. Provost, Tho latter name is mentioned tho most frequently, and In case of Captain Green declining the honor, it In be lieved by some that he would bo chosen by tho board. DEWEY SAILS FOR HOME. Admiral Leaves Hong Kong First Stop Singapore. Hong Kong, Juno 6. The United Stntes cruiser Olympln, with Admiral Dewey on board, left hero at 4 o'clock this afternoon. There was no demon stration. Tho weather was wretched. It was blowing and raining hard ut the time of tho warship's departure.

As the Olympia passed the Italian admiral's ship the Olympla's band played the Italian national anthem and gave an admiral's salute, which com pliments wore returned. Then the Olympla's band played "Auld Lang Syne," nnd the band of the Powerful played "Home, Sweet Home." Admiral Dewey is apparently anxious to avoid all demonstrations. Washington, June C Admiral Dew ey's tlagshlp Olympia sailed today from Hong Kong for Singapore en route to the United States. WIREBACK WILL HANG All Applications for a Rehearing Have Been Refused Tho Prisoner Asks for Another Respite. Harrisburg, June C The board of pardons today disposed of the last chance for the life of Ralph W. Wire back, of Lancaster, who will be hanged tomorrow for the murder of David B. Landis, by refusing the application of his-counsel for a rehearing. At the May meeting of the board ap plication was made for a reheating on the application for a commutation of sentence to Hit; Imprisonment, which was refused at the April term. This was held under advisement to allow counsel to make application to tho Ian- caster court for the appointment of a commission or lunacy to Inquire into Wlreback's mental condition. This hav ing been refused by the court, mid the Supreme court having refused to issue a mandamus to compel tho lower court to appoint such a commission, the ad journed meeting of the pardon board was held this afternoon, nt which the application for a rehearing was re fused. Lancaster, Juno C Ralph AV. AVlro baek, who is to be hanged tomorrow for the murder of D. B. Landis, nnd whose defense was insanity, was en gaged In conversation with his spirit ual advisers today when he heard that District Attorney Brown was in the Jail. He asked to talk to Brown who went to the cell. AVIrebaek said: "I have a very short time in which to prepare for my execution nnd would like to obtain a short reprieve." Mr. Brown replied: "It Is Impossi ble. Do not be deluded Into thinking that It would bo stayed." "It is not impossible if they wanted to tlo it," said AVIrebaek. "The tlmo has gone by and there Is nothing for you to do except to put your trust In the Lord," answered Mr. Brown. "Your spiritual advisers are hero and if you have anything to say that you have not already said you can tell them with perfect confidence." The condemned man said that he thanked God that they had not made him out Insane, and In reply to a ques tion of Mr. Brown whether he felt per fectly sane now, Wlreback said: "I do. Thero was a time when I did not think that I was in my right mind." "When was that'"" was asked, to which AA'Iroback replied: "It was about two weeks before this tiling occurred nnd perhaps thero wero times later when I did not feel right in my mind." Mr. Brown "You feel that you are perfectly sane now and havo been for somo time past?" AA'ireback "I do. I will go to the scaffold llko a man with abiding faith in tlie Lord Jesus Christ." Mr. Brown then told AA'ireback that he would have to go but he was very glad to nave una tms talk with him. He would bid him good bye. AA'ireback held Mr. Brown's hand quite a long time and ngaln expressed a hope that a reprieve would be grant ed him as he had a great deal to ex plain and a very short tlmo to explain it In, but that if it was Impossible to get n reprieve he would make his state ment on the gallows If ho was permit ted. Ho was nssured this privilege would bo granted him. Governor's Appointments. Ilnnisbuiff, Juno C These appoint ments wero announced today by Gover nor Stone: Hemy B. Dechert, of Phila delphia; J. B.

The Old Warrior Returning to San Domingo His Advice to tho Pco plo for Whom Ho Fought and Sacrificed Thirty Years of His Life Sayo the Army Should Have Been Disbanded Instantly After tho Spanish Evacuation. Havana, June C General Maximo Gomez, the former commander-in-chief of the Cuban nnny, issued his farewell manifesto today. In substance it is as follows: Tho commission I have been intrusted with is nearly concluded. 1 have at tempted to llnd a solution of questions concerning the artnv, which I command ed durhig tho bloodiest waf known In America. I am now leaving, regretfully, to attend to necessary private business. A parting word to the peoplo for whom 1 have sacrificed thirty years of my life and to my friends 'tho army Just dis banded, which nctlf.i should hae been taken instantly after tho removal ot tho bloody weight of Spain's merciless regime. Wo armed ourselves, but now we no longer want soldiers, but men for tho maintenance of ponco and order, whleh aro tho basis of Cuba's future welfare. It Is necessary to understand that tho nation, In this epoch most tllfllcult and unequalled In history, should avail llEclf of tho opportunity to show it possesses virtues, and in spito of the views caiued by colonial government and the harsh ness of warlike life. AVo wanted and wo depended on for eign Intervention to terminate the war. That Intervention occurred at the most terrible moment of our content and re sulted In Spain's defeat. But none of us thought that extraordinary event would be followed by a military occu pation of tho country by our allies, who treat us as a people Incapable of acting for ourselves anil who have reduced us to obedience, to submission and to a tutelage Imposed by force of eiieum stances. That cannot be our ultimata fate after years of struggle, and we should aid by every paeille method In finishing tho work of organizing, whleh the Americans accepted In tho protocol, and whleh Is as dlsacrecablo for them us for ourselves. That aid will prove useless without concord among all tho bianders. Therefore It Is necessary to forwet the past disagreements, to com pletely unite all elements and to organ ize a political party, which Is needed In any country. According to Merit. It Is always said that countries havo tint government which they merit, and Cuba will havo that which her heroism entitles her'tu. Today she can only l.avo one party in chim, with one. object, that of obtaining th - aspiration uf years. AVe must devote ourselves to pacific labors, gain the respect of the world and show, though our w.ir was honorable, our p-nco must bo moro so. AVe must make us-e-less by our behavior tho prcsenco of a strange power In the Island, and must assist tho Americans to complete tho honorablo mlbs'cn they have been com pelled to assume by forco of circum stances. This work was not sought by thoso rich norther.i owners of a conti nent. I think doubts and suspicious are t'lijust. AVo must form Immediately a commltteo or club to bo nucleus or a government. That will servo Cuban In terests purely nnd act as nn aid to the Inventors. I, as ono of the first Cubans, although ono of our last old soldiers- and not far from tho grave, without passions or am bitions, call on you with the sincerity of a father and urge a. cessation of the su ptrfluous discussions nnd the creation of parties of all kinds, which disturb tho country nnd tend to causo anarchy. In this country thero should not bo one man whom we consider a strancer. To day wo no longer havo autonomists or conservatives but only Cubans. My mission having ended, I will ab sent myself temporarily, to embrace my family, but I will return shortly to Cuba, which I love ns much as I love, my own land. My last words for my soldiers aro that, as always whero my tent is tho Cubans havo a friend. WALCOTT DEFEATS HINES. Other Bouts Before the Patrons of the Lenox. New York, June fi.

"Considering the parties to the con test, and other attending circumstances nnd conditions. It Is almost a physical Impossibility for tho two Indivrduals referred to to carry on a Jawful eon test for two points on the comlnr oc casion. The very nature ot things tends to nn out and out prize fight. "I shall be present at the contest, nnd, as chief of police. I will personally see to it that the letter and spirit ot the law relative to such contests are obeyed, and .that there will be no slug ging or heavy bitting: nothing but a clean cut, lawful sparrlnj? exhibition for points. It will be well for tho pub lic to understand that the first heavy blow struck will mark tho end of Un contest." The remaining days which Jim .Trf fiies will have before going to New York for the light of Friday night, will be given up to very light work. He has gotten himself Into lino form, and he will do but little road work, and that ot a very light nature. Jeffries seems to have himself well In hand and is confident of success. He said today: "I will defeat Fltzsimmons Friday night and establish my claim to bo tho heavyweight championship. My object will be to land Fitz at the first opportunity whether it Is the first blow In the fir3t round or the last blow In the last round. I do not propose to tri fle with the chancei and my first con sideration Is to win tho tight at all hazards." MAZET INVESTIGATION. No Witnesses to Bo Represented by Counsel Hereafter.

INSURGENTS ON THE RUN The Morong Peninsula in Possession of Ameri can Troops. MANY REBELS ESCAPE The Difficulties of tho Campalga! Overcome Few Prisoners Taken. Ruses of Natives to Pass Them selves Off as Frlendlios Prostru tions from tho Heat Among Our Troops Harassed Nightly at San Fernando. Manila, June C S.P.O a. m. Tho American forces have occupied tho peninsula of Morong. projecting Into Lagtina tie Bay, and General Hall's column Is encamped at Morong. Major Truman, marching across from Blnan gonan, found It impracticable to form a cordon; and tho Insurgents, with tho exception of a hundred or vvo, escaped through the mountains after General Iia del Pilar, dragging their battery by buffaloes, at night. A few, however, may be trapnod. The AA'ashlngton troops have returned to Pnslg, but tho programme ot the other troops is un certain. The present expedition showa the dlfllculty which is encountered by nn nnny which must depend upon wagon trains In catching barefooted bandits In their own mountains, and also gives proof that the rebels do not; intend to fight battles. General Hall left Santa Teresa yes terday morning nnd marched twelva miles to Morong, up nnd down rocky hills and through woods and swamps. Scores of his men foil out owing to tho extreme heat, nnd were left to follow as best they could. The bead of tho army arrived at Morong at noon, hav ing exchanged only a few shots with Insurgent skirmishers on tho way. Groups of stragglers followed alt day, but the force was 200 smaller than when It started. The men wero almost thirty-six hours without rations, and It wns considerable ot an achievement for them to cover the ground they did. Methods of Escape. En route to Morong the Americans met flocks of Filipinos, under flags ot truce, many of them young men with the bearing of soldiers. Many discard ed uniforms wero found In tho houses, apparently those of soldiers who had escaped by changing their costumes from "insurrecto" to "amlgo," nnd walking boldly past tho army, which had expected to corral them. Few wero found about Morong. One member of tho AA'ashlngton regi ment was killed and two wero wounded In the encounter with the outposts. General Lawtun, on board a gunboat searching the coast for Major Truman, stopped nt Blnnngonan, opposite Mor ong. The natives Immediately ran up a flag of truce, but a delegation In canoes put orf and greeted tho Ameri cans with the usual protestations of friendship. 1.10 p. m. The rebels on Saturday night made an attack upon the frlendlv town of Maeabebe and, after driving the Inhabitants out. burned the town. The Insurgents nluhtlv ntmnv tha troops nt San Fernando. Several Amer icans have been slightly wounded re cently. The enemy have several Krupp guns, which they bring forward and use for filing large shells Into tbo town, then retreating with their guns. One of the Insurgent shells fell within thirty yards of General Mat-Arthur's headquarters Saturday evening. Tho American troops do not reply to the nlchtly outbreaks. OTIS' CASUALTY REPORT.
