OHICAGO , July 18. The flght between

resented by Mayor Harrison nnd National
Commlttecman Gahau on the ono sldo and
the Altgcld wing of democracy , which sup
ported ex-Governor Altgcld , an Independent
candidate for the mayoralty nt the last
election , on the other has reached an ncuto
Bingo today ami threatens to Involve the
national committee in spite of the strenuous
attempts beTlig mndo to keep local quarrels
out of the proceedings of next Tuesday's
meeting of the national committee In this
cty. | Hon. Thomas Gahan , national com-
mlttecman from Illinois , In an open letter
today to the leaders of the Altgeld element
of the party , explains his reason for declin
ing to attend the Auditorium meeting nt
Thursday night nnd Indirectly appeals to his
colleagues of the national committee to re
frain from attending the Altgeld meeting.
Intercet Is added to the occasion by tbo re
port of ex-Governor Altgrld'e friends that
Bryan , eomo days ago , accepted an Invita
tion to address the meeting. The letter of
National Commltteenian Gahan follows In
full :
CHICAGO , July 18 , 1899. The Committee -
tee of Arrangements , Auditorium Meeting
of July 20- Gentlemen I am Just In re
ceipt of your letter of July 17 , tendering
mo box No. 31 for the Auditorium meeting
of Juty 20.
The published statements of the chairman
of your committee have mndo It manifest
that this Invitation Is not tendered In good
faith and Is not one In which n believer
of the Integrity of the democratic organ
ization could be expected to accept and or
dinarily n declination of a box tendered me
would sufllce , but since I nm Informed by
the dally press that a largo number of
Invitations have been sent by your com
mittee to members of the national commit
tee I feel It my duty as a national demo
cratic comralttceman from the state of Illi
nois to glvo you and the public the reasons
which make It Impossible that I could nc-
cept this Invitation without stultifying the
democratic party of the state of Illinois and
committing an Injustice to the democratic
party of the nation.
The membership of your committee on
arrangements , on whose behalf tbls Invita
tion is tendered me , shows that in its per
sonnel this committee Is entirely composed
of gentlemen who In April last opposed the
regular democratic candidate for mayor nnd
other charter offices of the city of Chicago
and did all In their power to bring about
the defeat of the regular democratic ticket
nnd the election of the regular republican
ticket at that erection. Strange as It may
appear to these from abroad , nn examina
tion of the members of the other commit
tees arranging the proposed meeting nt the
Auditorium shows that every member of the
several auxiliary comtnltteca likewise op
posed the regular democratic ticket nnd its
nominees last April and sought to defeat
the regular democratic ticket and elect the
republican ticket at that election.
Will of Majority Shall Hulc.
I am a believer In the rule of the ma
jority and when the democratic party ceases
to bcllovo In the rufa of majorities it will
cease to be the party of the people. The
primaries and the convention of last spring
were held under the law and the principles
were approved by your factional leader.
Notwithstanding this and repudiating In ad
vance the work of that convention and the
will of the majority , you sounded the battle-
cry of "anything to beat" the regular dem
ocratic nominee and maintained a guerrilla
warfare against the democratic party and
Its regular nomination until you were re-
pursed at the polls by such an overwhelm
ing defeat as to effectually silence your
pretensions of party organization until you
saw in this demonstration of July 20 an
opportunity to temporarily galvanize the
lifeless seeds of party sedition which you
there so zealously sowed.
I would be recreant to my trust as the
representative of the Illinois democracy on
the national committee If I did not frankly
review these facts , which are within the
memory of an and which should be brought
to the attention of the entire democratic
national committee as the reason why the
national commlttceman of Illinois cannot
attend your demonstration.
In the three years that it has been my
honor to represent the democracy of Illi
nois on the national committee I have con
sidered It my duty to labor for party har
mony In the state of Illinois and for the
conciliation of all elements In order that
we might In 1900 redeem Illinois to
democracy by sending twenty-four votes to
the electoral college for William J. Bryan
nnd sharing In the triumph of that platform
of principles for which the national dem
ocratic committee so faithfully labored
against overwhelming odds In the dark days
of 1896.
\o Hope for Unity.
If I saw In your proposed meeting erIn
In the membership of your several com
mittees a single Indication to a hope of
party unity. If you had held out for a mo
ment the hand of good fellowship ; if you
had for a moment In your asservatlons of
democracy Indicated that you would have
accepted the olive branch on any condition
short of a surrender of party organization
and party principles to the whim nnd ca
prices and exactions of a hopeless minority ,
I wouM have been the first to make an
overture In the belief that the first duty
of a commltteeman Is to harmonize the
elements of bin party.
But your action and your declarations
and the public announcement of your pres
ent Intentions have proved that you are
not an element of the democratic party ,
that Its constituent principles cannot mir-
vlvo in your atmosphere and that to ac
cept your dictation is to surrender that
fundamental doctrine which finds In the rule
of the democratic
of a majority the success
cratic party.
For these reasons and for the further
reason that n sense of duty must make
it Impossible for any loyal democrat of
Illinois who believes In party organizations
and the rule of majorities to attend a pub
lic meeting under your auspices , I must re-
snectfufly decline your Invitation. Very
truly yours , THOMAS GAHAN.
Democratic National Commlttceman from
Illinois.

Maryluiul Conunllteonmn Talk * on
the Xev - UpHinerutlo IMnlform.
CHICAGO , July 18. Colonel L. Victor
Baughman of Frederick , Md. , was the first
of the eastern politicians to arrive In Chicago
cage today for the meeting of the national
demoratlc committee. Colonel Baughman Is
the political representative of Senator
Arthur P. Gorman and holds hla proxy as a
national commltteeman. In an interview to
night , Colonel Baughman said :
"As to Senator Gorman's , views on silver
and his attitude toward the last democratic
platform , I wouM say that the senator Is a
man who never hesitates to express his own
view a upon all great public questions , and ,
while ho may have taken Issue with his
friends In the last campaign and thought It
unwise to force such Issues on the party , he
was at least loyal to the nominee of the
party and carried out the teachings of
democracy by tendering his aid and support
to the ticket , '
"Frankly , I will say that I do not think
silver Is the most Important issue. That
great question was submitted for arbitration
before the American people and decided ad
versely. At tbls time I am unable ( o see the
necessity of again demanding that it should
be the leading issue. There are more mo
mentous questions to consider , questions of
government policy , in which 4he people arc
deepry Interested at this time.
"The growth of illegal trusts and monopo
lies mutt bo the questions without Interfer
ing with legAl Investments of capital , While
labor should bp protected , wo cannot deprive
Inbot ; of the nld nnd assistance of capital.
This should be the time for conscnatUe
men to show their Interest In trying to har-
monlzo the conflicting elements In the coun
cils of the party. It Is notime for recrimi
nations. It would be best to let tRe dead past
bury Its dead and realize the demands of
the great fight before us. "
When asked whether Senator Gorman was
a candidate- for the presidency , he mid that
wa too far nway for present consideration ,
but that It could never be told what might
devefop in a year.
South Stand * hy Arimliilntrntlon.
CINCINNATI , Jiily IS. Hon. Clark Howell
of the Atlanta Constitution , Georgia mem
ber of the national democratic committee , Is
hero tonight , on his way to Chicago , to at
tend the meeting1 of the democratic nntlonnl
committee , Hi an Interview with the Com
mercial-Tribune he expressed the opinion
that no definite Action would bo taken nt
the Chicago meeting of the committee. Ho
said a largo number of people of the eouth
wore In favor of standing by the adminis
tration , especlalJy In Its method proposed
for the rehabilitation of Cuba nnd the es
tablishment there of n stable government.
Both parties would be pretty strong In Hick
platform condemnation of trusts. The pOpulist -
list party , ho said , 'would cut no figure In
the coming politics of the south , particularly
these of next year.

N. 2. , July 18. In the fighting which
occurred nt Sofata In the Suatlcs
district July 4 , one Mallcoan chief
was mortally wounded and two Ma-
taafa chiefs and one Suatclo were killed
nnd three others wounded. The British
cruiser Tauransa nnd the German cruiser
Cormoran nrrcsted three chiefs and brought
them to Apia for trial before thu supreme
court.
The Joint commissioners will leave for
Washington July 18. Chief Justice Cham
bers left for San Francisco on July 14. Not
desiring to return he has sent his resigna
tion to President McKlnley , who docs n6t
wish his resignation. The question whether
this constitutes a vacancy In the chief jus
ticeship Is being discussed by the com
missioners. Dr. Self claims that he will
preside over the presiding court If Chambers
leaves the Island. If there is no vacancy
then either ilunter or Mnlr may be desig
nated to flit the chief justiceship.
The commissioners are much blamed for
not ordering the restitution of loot taken
by rebels. Mataafa partisans among the
rebels are raising funds to fight the king
ship question through lawyers and are con
fident of obtaining a rehearing. Mataafa ,
however , accepts the abolition of the klng-
ehlp and will bo present at a meeting of
the commissioners on Savall Island. Ills
supporters request the dismissal of Chief
Justice Chambers and defy the order of the
supreme court.
The International commissioners are to
day at Lufllufl meeting uMatanfa and Atu.i
chiefs.
De Leon , Tolelado and Humphreys

mare harm to airest the leaders of the move
ment , who would undoubtedly pone as mar-
tyre , which Is beamingly their dwlrc , for ,
though they must know that their machina
tions are discovered , they persist In the ngi-
tatlon. Each province has or will have 911
address widely circulated signed by some
prominent name sufflclontly common to bo
berne by many and thus to prevent the ac
cusation of forgery.
Ono such appeal recently Issued In the
province of Santiago reads as follows :
With my soul stirred with enthusiasm
by your dignified action under the humili
ating conditions in which we aio placed
by the intervening government. I raise my
volco to you , brave comrades and obedient
soldiers of the Immortal Macco , nsklnt ; In
glorious remembrance of his name that > ou
again swear you will die on the battle
field before you will' live like miserable
cowards , yoked and tied , like the disin
herited offspring of our forefathers , allow
ing a perjured foreign flag to float where
our shores should be marked only by the
blessed emblem of the lone star.
You who turned your backs on the vile
metal which pretended to pay for th' arms
which cost so many sacrifices will know-
how to use them again should It bo nec
essary In defense of our just rights , be
cause the great and powerful are small nnd
cownrdly when they face Justice and truth.
I shall always bo ftist to die for you or
carry you to glory. Your brother nnd gen
eral , UUANY.

liitvriintlonnl Contention Arrive
nt InillnnniioliH.
INDIANAPOLIS , July IS The fourth Inter
national convention of the Hpworth league
will 'begin at 2.30 Tuesday afternoon am
will close Sunday night. There arc over
100 addresses on the program. 'Meetings ' ull
bo held simultaneously nt English's opeia
house , Tomllneon hall and at a big tent
capable of seating 7,500 people. The ad
dresses will touch upon many topics , In
cluding the liquor trafllc , which will bo dls-
cuBwed In various phases by notable speak
ers. Two canvasses of the city have re
sulted In securing pledges' for the accommo
dation of 30,000 guesls , with a reserve ca
pacity for 10,000 more , The committee ex
pects an attendance of 20,000.
The musical part of the program will bo
furnished by three choruoss 'of WO voices
each under the direction of H. O. Excel ! of
Chicago , Prof. J , iM. Black of Wllflamsport ,
Pa. , and Prof. W. O. Hemphlll of Texas. A
noticeable feature of the official decora
tions Is the prominence given to the Union
Jack , tlio purpose being to make the Canad
ian visitors feel perfectly nt home.
On one sldo of the etngo In Tomllnsoll hall
Is a picture ten feet fiquaro of Queen
Victoria , whllo on the opposite side ap
pears tbo likeness ot President McKlnley.
The vanguard of itho leaguers arrived this
afternoon , when two delegations came from
California. Ono delegation of ten came from
Los Angeles and another of about the same
number from Ban Francisco.
These delegations represent tvso factions
that are conteudlnc for the meeting place
in 1901. The San Francisco delegates t
once opened headquarters opposite the tent
and started the bonm for San Francisco.
Member * .of both delegations say that there
Is no serious rivalry between them and
that their chief Interest Is In securing the
convention for California.
Under the plan of rotation , which
Is the unwritten law of the league ,
the next convention belongs to the
League of the .Methodist Church
South. The Los Angeles delegates
are urging the selection of that city on
the sentimental ground that It was In Trin
ity church , Los Angeles , that the league of
the church , south , bad Its birth.
