Bays :
"The Republicans of Nebraska dis
claim for the party any sympathy with

port , privilege wns nsked and granted
Governor Savage to make a statement ,
The governor explained at considera

parole to Mr. Bartley , covering sub
stantially the same ground as In his
circular statement. Ho reminded the
convention thnt ho alone wns respon

net of clemency to a man convicted of
embezzlement , the fault must rest
with himself and not with the Repub
lican party of the state.
Following the governor's statement

only real excitement of the conven

Governor Savage Cancels Parole of
Former State Treasurer.
Lincoln. Aug. 29. The final chapter
of the release of former State Treas
urcr Bartley came last evening , when
Governor Savage , following the action
of the Republican state convention ,
cancelled the parole of the ex-state
treasurer , surrendered him to the sher
iff of the county and ordered his return
to prison. The sheriff arrested Mr.
Bartley at his home last night nnd took
him to the penitentiary. The gov

beginning to send Mr. Bartlcy back to
prison at the expiration of the GO days'
parole If he did not comply with the
conditions of his release , which ho
thus far had failed to ilo. Ho simply

JUDGE BAKER'S SPEECH.
Temporary Chairman Starts Conven
tion With Keynote Address.
Temporary Clmlriniin Baker said In
part :
"Mr. Chnlrmnn nnd Follow Republic-
nnn : I feel It nn honor to preside over
your temporary deliberations ,
"Tho echo nnd reverberation of a
vnllnnt victory nro Htlll lingering In
the distance , preparing , reluctantly , to
give way to another tidal wave of Re
publican supremacy ,
"Our Btnto officers nro giving us a
eplendld administration.
"Under the aurfaco of the dark cloud
of seeming , deadlock and dissension ,
no earnestly hoped for by the enemy ,
thnt for BO long a time hung over our
lout legislature , thcro was the proverb
ial silver lining.
"Tho great Htalwnrt leadcrfl , who by
their ability and good work made It
posHlblo to have a Republican legisla
ture and had earned the high honor
which their thotmandH of friends and
admirers demanded for them and re
fused to recede , magnanimously with
drew their names from the senatorial
contest nnd requested their friends to
elect two good and tried Republicans
to the United States senate , nnd they
did It. These self-same wnr-scaned
veterans of the old party arc now seen
In the foremost rank fighting with
their old-llmo vigor nnd ability for
the success of the party.
" \Vo are once more represented In
the United States senate by two stal
wart Republicans , who will ably sco
to the Interests of our state nnd of our
party. One young , able , vigorous and
untiring , n new star In the political
firmament that will grow brighter and
brighter , the other 'to the manor born , '
strong In presence , ripe In experience
and rich In culture. Wo made wise so-1 I
lection of our candidates for our last
year's fight and were rewarded with
victory. |
"It behooves every Republican to lay
aside his personal ambition and
choices and to forget all past differ- )
cnces. 'Let the dead past bury Its
dead , ' and for the love of the old
party and Its principles , for Ita
achievements and Itn loyalty to the
people , nnd Its patriotism , let us forget - '
get all cliques and factions , wherever' '
existing , and put our shoulder to the
wheel and push with ail our might for
the good of humanity , unmindful of our
neighbor pusher , whether he pushes
hard or not , or whether ho pushes for
hope of reward or love of party. With
the harmonious and judicious termina
tion of our snnntorlnl contest , anil with
all the senatorial aspirants vigorous
for party success , victory awaits the
nominees of this convention.
National Issues.
"Representative Patterson of Ten
nessee says If the Democratic party
'makes the contest lu 1904 on the Is
sues of trusts and the tariff , we will
win. ' This seems to bo the sentiment
of the Issue hunters of the Democrat
ic party. What a lamentable condi
tion It would bo , for the stability of '
the greatest nation In the world , to
depend upon n party that seoUs , yearly ,
for new and untried principles of po
litical economy to manage Its ship of
state.
"On the question of tariff the Re
publican party Is at homo , nnd the
prince of Napoleons on this economic
principle occupies the highest place
In the gift of our nation and has built
for himself a monument In the hearts
of the American people that Is as en
during as history.
"What kind of explanation the Dem
ocrats will make for their action on the
bill introduced In the
Fifty-third con
gress to amend the constitution , authorizing
'
thorizing the federal government to
regulate Interstate commerce and in
terstate business , after all but six
of the members In congress voted
against It , Is something that no man
can toll. The Republican party has
been and is the party of progress ; it
has fostered and cncon | ed all kinds
of wholesome Industries. In the on
ward march of progress gigantic busi
ness organizations have grown beyond
all expected proportions. Corpora
tions , syndicates and trusts have taken
root in the fertile soil of Republican
prosperity. The Republican party has ; , '
proclaimed , and it shall be , that these
great plants shall not interfere with
the husbandry of the American people
In the great field of Industry. Their
appearance was hailed with delight.
"The tact and task of controlling
nnd regulating these great combines
Is a work that calls for the great-1
est of skill , brains and honesty. The
hysterical and partisan cry of 'trusts' ,
and 'oppression' avails naught. The
right to combine brains and capital
for the furtherance of commerce no
one would question , so long as It does
not conflict with our form of govern
ment and does not oppress our people ,
and when It does , then the great
strong arm of the government must
reach out and cause a halt. Wealth
cannot prosper without labor and labor
cannot llvo without capital.
"Tho great factories , the thousands
of miles of railroad , the endless wire
of telegraphy and like Institutions wo
cannot ami would not do without. To
promote nnd build nnd operate these
marvelous enterprises necessitates
the centralization of cnpltrt nnd brains.
"Would you prevent these great or
ganizations ? Would you retard their
unparalleled and most marvelous ad
vancement , produced by centralization
of capital ? Would you cripple the
great co-partnerships and corporations
that give employment to thousands of
men nnd women ? No. Let the great
march of progress continue nnd let the
grand old party have votes enough In
congress to pass needful laws to con
trol nnd regulate these great corpora
tions and trusts , by whatever name
they may be known , and they will be
so controlled that the humblest laborer
will be protected In all bis rights and
earnings and the corporations neither
uprooted cor jeopardized. "

Disaster on Steamer Trenton
, Near Philadelphia ,
TAKES FlfiE AND RUNS AGROUND.
(
Steam Pipe and Then Boiler Burst ,
i
Blowing Up the Vessel , Which Be-
I comes a Pyre Passengers Leap for
I i Their Lives Several Are Missing.
I Philadelphia , Aug. 29. While the
steamer City of Trenton was on her
way Irom this city to Trenton yester
day her port boiler exploded , killing
eleven persons and Injuring over a
score of others. Four passengers are
missing , but BO many sustained slight
Injuries It Is thought the missing may
be among those who did not find It
necessary to go to the hospital.
The dead : J. D. Chow , assistant en
gineer ; Miss Elizabeth Green ; two
Dromon ; one deckhand , and tlx pas-
fcongcrn , names unknown.
The missing : Mrs. John Matthews ,
Mrs. Matilda Cross nnd two children ,
who were seen to Jump overboard.
Fatally Injured : Theresa Rheln and
Louisa Panscholck.
Boat Takes Fire and Runs Aground.
After the explosion the boat took
fire and ran aground. She now lies
a wrecked and blackened hulk In the
marshes opposite Torresdalo , 10 miles
above this city. Her hold Is filled with
water and It Is feared more of her pas
sengers and crew may be found In the
bottom of the boat when the water Is
pumped out.
The City of Trenton makes dally
trips between Philadelphia and Tren
ton. Yesterday her passenger list was
lighter than usual and she carried very
little freight. The vessel was in charge
of Captain W. A. Worrell.
At a point near Torresdale the
steam pipe connecting with the port
boiler burst with a loud report. Be
fore any of the passengers or employes
had an opportunity of seeking places
of safety another explosion occurred
and this time the port boiler was rent
in twain. Scalding steam and water
poured Into the cabin nnd sections of
the woodwork of the boat were torn
away by the force of the explosion.
Those of the passengers who were not
seamed and ucarred by the scalding
steam nnd boiling water were struck
by the ( lying portions of the splintered
cabin. Legs and arms were broken
nnd faces and bodies parboiled. The
screams of the Injured could be heard
on shore , nnd the cries of those who
leaped nnd wore blown Into the river
were heartrending. So great was the
force of the explosion that a piano was
hurled many feet away Into the river.
This proved n fortunate circumstance
for many of the Injured. Thrown Into
the water , scalded and otherwise In
jured so that they wore rendered helpless -
loss , they clung to the piano , which
had fallen Into shallow water.
By this time the vessel had caught
fire and those of the passengers still
aboard wore compelled to leap for
their lives. Fortunately the water
was not more than four feet deep and
many of the victims of the disaster
were able to wade ashore. Some , however -
over , who were too seriously Injured
to help themselves , were rescued by
members of the boat clubs , whose
houses line the river front at this
point. The captain and crew of the
boat conducted themselves as heroes.
They rendered all the assistance possi
ble to Injured and Captain Worrell was
the last man to leave the boat.
Dragged to Death by Horse.
Red Lodge , Mon. , Aug. 29. Farquhar
Gillies , a prominent and wealthy
sheepman , was dracged to death by a
frightened horse on the range near his

a rope , having a slipknot fastened to
his arm. The horse became frightened
and started off at breakneck speed ,
the rope became tangled so that Gillies
could not loosen It. He was dragged
500 yards over the rocky ground and
when finally rescued was terribly cut
and bruised. He never regained con
sciousness.

Knoxville , Tenn. , Aug. 29. Elsie and
Julia McFalls , women residing near

Francis , the negro who assaulted and
murdered Miss Mary Henderson at
Columbus , Mo. , has not yet been cap-1
tured , but 400 or GOO men are scouring ;
the woods in the vicinity of the scene
of the crime , and it IB said Francis
cannot possibly escape. The pursuit
was begun so BOO ) ' after the discovery
of the crime that every outlet from
the country was closed promptly.
Francis will undoubtedly be lynched
if caught , but burning at the stake
Is not advocated nor have Innocent
negroes been injured or threatened.

took to the woods after the discovery
of the crlmo of his brother , and when
caught will bo strung up , members
of the posse say , and compelled to tell

abouts. Members of a negro family
named Brlscoc , near the Ilyntt farm ,

be applied to make them tell. When
the men of the family were questioned ,
they would say nothing. It Is believed
Francis passed the Brlscoo place after
the murder. i

CORPORATION IS GAINING MOST.
Steel Magnates Confident They Will
Win President Shaffer Declares \l' \
Situation Is Encouraging and Strik
ers Will Remain Firm.
Plttsburg , Aug. 29. The steel cor
poration continued making gains in
this district and yesterday added
enough men to Its force at the Star
plant to insure the working of two
mills , double turn , night nnd day , from
now on. The management claims that
the entire plant will be on full before
the week ends. The strikers say this
claim cannot be made good.
In pursuance of Its announced plan
to run all of its plants absolutely non
union , the American Tin Plate com
pany yesterday commenced advertis
ing for nonunion men. All applicants
are offered the highest wages and per
manent Jobs , but in every case the
application must be made personally
and the applicant declare himself
free from all union control. The com I : . ,
pany has not as yet made the at- *
attempt ta start either Its Monogahela
or Dommler plants , but say both will
bo started soon.
When asked what ho thought of the
tin plate company's avowed Inten
tion of breaking away from the union
entirely , President Shaffer of the
Amalgamated assoclntion said :
"Where will they get men to run their
plants ? If wo thought the men could
bo secured the threat might frighten
us. Until we are assured that they
are forthcoming we will keep our
nerve. "
The latest official declaration from
steel sources is thnt the strike can
now be settled only by the men going
back to the mills. The position the
officials take. It is said , is that the
| strike is over so far as their dealing
I with the strikers as a body Is con
cerned.
Simon Burns , general master work
man of the Knights of Labor , has sent
an open letter to Charles M. Schwab ,
' president of the United States Steei
I corporation , and to President Shaffer ,
i offering a plan of arbitration to settle
I the strike. President Shaffer says he
I Is satisfied to submit to the arrange-
I mont proposed by Mr. Burns , so It
! ( ' only remains for Mr. Schwab to con
sent.
