When I asked George W. Williams of the
Chemical Notional bank In Now York what
catiued the hard tlmea , ho paid , with A. P.
Hepburn of the Third National , that wo
had hotter put the tariff back on wo"l and
woolen goods. Wo dropped the tariff 25 per
cent and made It a tariff for deficit. To
get the old revcjjuo wo have to pulp 23 per
cent more wool , pottery , silk , velvet , cham

25 per cent more from Eurpo , wo make
25 per cent lers In America , and 25 per cent

Senator John M. Thurston returned yester
day morning from Washington. Ho will remain
during the remainder of the week , or until
after the Iccal ctnventlon , when ho will re
turn to Washington. The senator was some
what late In arriving at his ollce ( , which was
tenanted meantime by a number of local
politicians who awaited his appearance.
In Gpcaklng of the political situation Sen
ator Thurston waxed enthusiastic over what
ho considered the growing sentiment In favor
of MaJr McKlnley. "McKlnley Is as good
as nominated at this moment , " ho eald de
liberately , and then he ppoko of the signifi
cant action of the conventions that had al
ready been held In states that had never
been counted In the McKlnloy column. Min
nesota and Illinois would , he said , bo for Mc
Klnley at heart and 93 would Now England
after they had cast a complimentary vote for
Mr. Reed. Twelve out and out McKlnley
delegates had been chosen In Now York and
McKlnley would have two-thirds , at least of
the southern vote. Ho mlgnt not be nomi
nated on the first ballot , but his strength
would constantly Increase. "Thla Is going to
bo a campaign of the people , " added Senator
Thurston , "and the people are for McKlnley
ovorywhnre. Even in New York If a secret
Informal ballot could be taken today McKlei-
ley would get four votes to cne for all the
other candidates combined. "
With regard to the situation In Nebraska ,
Senator Thurston had but little to say. When
It was suggested that there was a tendency
among some el his supporters to Ignore the
terms of the' agreement with tho. friends
of General Mandcrson and Instructtho Ne
braska delegation- McKlnley "first , last
and all the. time.hesaid lhat ho was aware
that a feeling of that sort existed Jn some
quarters , but second " thought w.ould prevent
any such action. He was certain that so far
aa Douglas count- was concerned , the terms
of the agreement would be carried out to the
letter. Ho Insisted that this agreement had
not emanated from him. , Ho had merely ac
cepted It on the representations of his. friends
as a means of harmonizing all elements.
In reference to the probable action of ths
national convention on the silver question
Senator Thurslon said that while the : terms
might bo somewhat more clearly defined th ;
general principle of the money plank ; of the
previous platform would ba unchanged. He
thought that the expression of Major Mc
Klnley on the subject at the Marquettc club
banquet In Chicago would make an excellent
substitute. The republican party was never
In favor of the so-called free colnago of
silver because it believed that such action
would have an effect opposite to that which
was claimed for It by Its adherents. It was
not In favor of any action that would put a
single depreciated dollar In the hands of the
public , but It did favor the greatest pos
sible use of silver consistent with that
doctrine , and ho believed that legislation
could bo secured that would create a market
for what silver was produced In this
country.
The senator declined to discuss the prob
abilities of a settlement of the Union Pacific
matter during the present session. He
thought there would be no further post
ponement of the bridge case and that It
would bo argued on the date now sot.
RECEPTION TO THE SENATOR.
The Fourth ward republicans congregated
at Washington hall last night to give an
Informal reception 19 Senator Thuroton. AB
a number of other ward meetings were Miied-
uled , the attendance was largely contlned.
"
to members of the club" and the remarks of
their .guest wore largely In the nature of a
general talking over of recent events to
hln personal followers.
Senator Thurston waa greeted with pro
longed cheering when ho was introduced by
Major D. II , Wheeler , ami ho explained at
the oiitfet that ho proposed to merely talk
a few minutes and reserve his speech for
the following evening. Ho expressed hln
appreciation of the manner in which his
friends in Nebraska had stood by him dur-
IIIR the past few weeks , and added that this
signified that the people were united In
their adherence to Major McKlnloy , and any
effort cf political bosses to deny tholr hope
and wish was bound to fall ,
The fpeakor alluded to the fact that for
many ycara ho wan tlfo roprescntatlva of
great railroad Interests. In that capacity
ho performed his duty , but now ho repre
sented the people cf Nebraska , and ho pro
posed to servo them with the same fidelity
with which ho fur veil his other clients. It
was alleged that he owed his election av
senator to the Influence of a great cor
porate. Interest , but this was utterly and en-
tlicly faleo. Ho wau elected , not because-iu. )
v/a.3 a railroad attorney , but In tplto of It.
If the time nhould over come whmi eor
pjrato demands should stand on cno-'Hldo
and the Interests of the people 'on the
other , ho would cast his lot with tjio poS-
plo , at whatever cost.
Senator Thnrtton then proceeded to Justify
his action In regard to the pelcctlcn of the
Nebraska delegation to the national conven
tion. His remarks were largely u repeti
tion of hlfJ previous public utterances on
the tame uubject , with Home additions In
details. Ho complained that for some icauon
ho newspapers of Omaha had persistently
mlsrcp'.cscntcd him. For wins reason the
newspapers hud novel' been with him In any
of his lights. Ho denied that hi ) uver abkcd
a man to bo u delegate from Nunvnpka. HD
simply endeavored to ascertain what the
people of Nebraska wanted , and he waa In
formed ou every sldo that they wcra prac
tically unanimous for McKlnley. In every
stop ho tool ; ho had the oxpreraoJ appioval
of Mr. McKlnley's confidential advisors. Ho
had no political machine at hla command
with which to dictate to any one. His only
strength , If ho had any , lay In the fact that
the republicans of Nebraska were animated
by the same deslru that tilled hla heart.
Following Senator Tbureton , John I , . Wob-
Btcr spoke briefly , occupying ; most of hl
time with humorous hits at politic.U.nics !
and n few stories which he applied to the
pending contest.

At the meeting of the Eighth ward club In
Bander's hall , hat night , John M. Thuutim
xpokc. Ho .ild that ho felt assured that' '
It needed no additional words from him to
add to the popularity of William McKlnley
In Omaha , and In the state ot Nebraska. Ho
had been a staunch supporter ot McKlnley
from the start , and regarded him ns a true
typo of the patriotic American , In whoso
hands the reins of the government would
rest with safety. H had been alleged that
In the late McKlnley-Manderson compromise
he acted In the character of a dictator. This
was far from the motives that actmtcd him
In the matter. The letters and agreements
drafted by himself were submitted to men
having the Interests ot Mr. McKlnloy ami
Mr. Manderson In hand ) and met with their
approval. He thought It to the best Inter
ests of the republicans of the state that such
an amicable agreement was made. He salt' '
that the St. Louis convention would bo only
a McKlnley ratification meeting.
John L. Webster followed In n short ad
dress , In which he stated that ho felt as
sured that the voters of Omaha and the state
ot Nebraska were all thoroughly for McKln
ley.Of
Of the eighteen names selected by n com
mittee of the club for delegates to the county
convention on March 23 , the following nlno
were elected by the vote of the club : Louis

NIOHHARA , Neb. , March 23. To the
Editor of The Bee : The side-play differ
ences between Senator Thurslon nnd Gen
eral Mandcrson having been adjusted , as
far , at least , as Douglas county Is con
cerned , I take the liberty to express my
views.
I have nil along been opposed to the rec
ognition of cither faction , so-called , because
there has been no apparent principle Involved.
Doth gentlemen have llko records on all
questions uppermost In the minds of the
people , nnd It was a toss-up with an Indif
ference as to results. Mr. Thurston has ,
Indeed , taken a bold stop when ho assumes
the dictatorship of the republican party ot
Nebraska. I realize the great following ho
has. But there Is another clement that
may submit , 111 fact , bo led , but not driven ,
llko so many sheep.
I have never had but the best ot faith
In Governor McKlnlcy's Individual high-
mliidediin B. Ills managers , however , If
Senator Chandler of Now Hampshire Is to
bo believed ( end ho Is not a man who goes
Into print unwisely or sensationally ) have
been ovcrzealous to a point of scandal and
far too dictatorial In urging his candidacy.
I am opposed Jo Instructed delegation ? , as
a rule. The Instructed delegation for Har
rison's nomination was one of the rules
that could be broken. He had Inaugurated a
policy which deserved endorsement. Hut
McKlnley has no higher endorsement duo
.him than any other candidate now before
the country. While Allison was endorsed by
his state , ho had by years of service as
senator become nationally famous and so
trustworthy as to be at various conventions
mentioned In connection with the presidency.
I have , however , watched the brilliant
career of Reed with no little pride. It has
been many-sided and remarkable- emer
gencies. One listens to his Jokes and his
stories nnd watches his face beam with
good-natured lights and shades , to bo by
circumstances turned into biting sarcasm.
Then , again , standing out upon his rights
and demanding obedience to them , to finally
have his successor endorse them. Then his
conservative nature asserts Itself and new
conditions arise to show the man lu a greater
light than ever. The present house has not
gone from his steady control , but Is doing
business. And what more statesmanlike
and unselfish letter has been written by
any candidate than the one published In
The Bee ot the 21st coming from Plttsburg :
WASHINGTON , D. C. . March 18. II. D.
W. English , Pittsburj ? : My Dear Sir I
have not the slightest desire to haye my
name submitted In the way you suggest.
While I might have- been glud of an op
portunity under other circumstances , under
the present I wou'd not. In no state 'where
there is a candidate have nny friends of
mine Interfered with local wishes , , nor , will
they with my. * consent. I am very much
obliged ta you for tha personal kindness
Involved In your suggestion and have very
pleasant memories of your previous kind
ness : . Yours very truly , T. n. UI3ED.
Heed may style us as the "omnlverous

progress and holds the liberal policies of
Blalno moro closely , In my Judgment , than
any other statesman now before the coun
try.

Without annoying you with my views on
various questions , on most of wh'ch we
heartily agree , I would most wish that the
Nebraska delegation could go to St. Louis
unpledged. Otherwise , with Mr. Thurston's
Iron-clad resolutions , why hold a conven
tion ? Why not let him cast the vote and
bo done with It ? E. A. FRY.

The delegates from the Duluth district ore

McKlnley and It Is not believed that
C. K. Davis' name will be mentioned to
morrow. The four delegates at largo will
cartalnly bo Instructed for McKlnley. The
conte3t over who shall go to St. Louis Is
sharp , from the fact that those most prom
inently mentioned are men who have stood
for Davis and who have only Joined the
McKlnley column when they saw the trend
of the movement. There Is little talk about [
tlu platform. One at the main contests
that Is occupying the attention of the ilclo-

and nntl-McKlnlsy. Cuncy , the Allison
leader , announpqd hlmsolf as n candidate for
temporary chairman at midnight last night ,
and the further fact that the Reed men were
nt once rallied to his support looks as though
the lines were going to bo tautly drawn on
McKlnley. The McKlnloy men nre still very
sangulnb and arc asserting that they hive
everything their own way nnd will send at
least thrco of the four delegates to St. Louis.
Cuney Is a power among the negroes , how
ever , and It Is Just possible that he may turn
the tldo In the direction that the McKlnley
men are least expecting. Ills object Is to
wnd an unlnstructed delegation to St , Louis ,
nnd ho will leave no stone unturned to do
It. Ho practically promised the Morton men
that the delegation shall go unlnstructed ,
and ho will train his effort In that direction.
The politicians hero are looking at the si In a
tlon rather seriously this morning , and some
of them are not slow to say that they are
afraid of a bust-up tomorrow. The gauntlet
has certainly been thrown down to the Mc
Klnloy men , and It now remains to be e ; n
as to whether they have the nerve and
strength with which to fight the battle.out tea
a successful termination.
After an all day wrangle to arrange a com
bination between the Allison nnd Reed men ,
the whole business \vas knocked Into a
cocked hat late tonight by the Allison men ,
with Cuney at thcr head , forswearing all
combinations and announcing that they
would make the fight singly for Allison for
president nnd for Cuney for temporary chair
man of tomorrow's convention. The Reed
men are apparently frustrated by the action
of the Allison men. McKlnlcy's forces say
Uioy will fight to a finish and the result will
probably bo suicidal to the Reed men , al
though they seem to think that they will
combine -with the McKlnley men If assured
a divided delegation.
Tivo lu Mlnm-Notii for McKlnley.
MANKATO , Minn. , March 23. The Second

A young Philadelphia woman ot rather
graceful , dignified appearance , about 25 , had
become Infatuated with histrionic art. She
was of excellent family , ot wealth , who gave
her a thorough musical education at home
and In Paris. To become a celebrated pong-
stress was the dream of her existence , and
when nn opportunity occurred that she could
dlcplay her vocal powers on the boards this
young woman selzoJ It rapturously , and , In
defiance cf her parents' wishes , Joined an
amateur theatrical company , says the Phila
delphia Telegraph.
The company Intended to remain In Toledo ,
O. , only a few days , and then go further
west. The young woman to whom I have
reference had a magnificent pet of diamonds ,
worth thousands of dollars , and of course she
tcok those with her , and also a largo sum of
money. Ono of the members of thu company ,
who had taken quarters at the hotel with the
others , suggested that Miss S deposit the
money and Jewels In the safe , but Miss S
refused to act upon this suggestion ,
It waa nearly 12 o'clock of the evening of
her arrival at the hotel , ana going up to her
room on returning from the opera , where she
had gone with some young people , Miss S
was about to ring for the maid , when she saw
Jihrough the mirror facing her R reflection of
a man's boot and also a hand clasping an
ugly looking knife protruding from under the
bod. A pcream was ready to burst from her
throat , but by a superhuman effort she con
trolled It and commenced humming snatches
of an opera , at the same tlmo thinking of n
clover plan to save both herself and dla-
mcnds. Stopping suddenly In the midst of
her singing , she said aloud : "Thoro , I left
all my money In the olllco safe and haven't n
penny for that bill ; I'll send Marie for It , "
and ringing , waited with bated greath the
maid's appearance. The two minutes that
elapsed scorned llko two years.
"Marie , " she sjld , calmly , as that Indi
vidual came Into the room , "go down to the
olllco and bring up nil of my money left there
this morning here , I'll write an order for It , "
and , taking a card , wrne : "Burglars hiding
In my room ; como at cuce with help , " and ,
slipping It in an envelope , sealed It. "Give
this to the proprietor , " she' continued , "and
ho will give you the money. "
Miss S again looked at the bedside
to see If the fait and hand remained visible
no , they had been withdrawn ; then walking
over to the piano sung. A knock at the door
was heard. "Como In , " she answered , al
most holding her breath for fear her note
had failed In Its mission , but no there
stood the hotel proprietor and by his side two
policemen. They Immediately looked under
the bed where Miss S was pointing , and
captured the burglar without any trouble.

Park company of Chicago In the Wisconsin
Central receivership , holding that the com
pany was not entitled to caultablo relief bo-
catiso It permitted gambling on Its premises

ordered a referee to determine Just how far
It was burdensome and In event of Its being
but ellghtly so would have overruled the ac
tion of the receivers by virtue ot the general
powers ot the court In receivership cases.
