ants.This afternoon the Harrison parlors were
opened nt the Wnst hotel. The present head
quarters are In rooms 428 and 430 and nro out
temporary. Permanent headquarters will bo
opened on the lower llcor later In the wcok.
'Xhoso who arrived this afternoon nro all
Harrison mon , of tbo most enthusiastic kind ,
nnd nro hero to work for tbo president until
his nomination , ns they llrraly bollovo. Tbo
delegation from Indiana comprised L.
T. Mlchencr of Sholbyvillo , J. 1C. Ooldy.
chairman republican state committee ot
Indiana ; R. II. Shlol ot Indianapolis , neigh
bor of the president nnd n delccnto to the
convention ; C. W. Stivers of the Liberty
Herald and n delegate ; A. P. Hondrlckson , n
wholesale merchant of Indianapolis and a
close friend of Mr..Harrison ; W. T. Durbin ,
delegate from Anderson , nud Senator Miller
of Indianapolis.
"Wo are for Harrison ; that Is what wo nro
liero for , " said General Michcner. "Yes ,
wo nro hero in the interest of the people , "
added Delegate Shiel , "and that moans that
\ve must nominate Harrison. "
Stole n Itiiso from the ltlal.no Itoomors.
The early opening of the Harrison head
quarters Is a surprise to the Blalno menwho
expected to bo llrst when they come in with
the national committee tomorrow. In short ,
the president's friends have stolen n inarch
on the Blaine boomers nnd their sudden ar
rival moans lleht from stall to finish. It is
niiid tbat tbolr unannounced arrival and
qulclc opening of tha headquarters was at a
tclcgraphlo suggestion from Washington.
President Harrison had got his Dack up and
the man sent hero and to como tomorrow are
the ones who did so much for Harrison's
nomination In IbSS. General Mlchencr and
John C. New will bo in command. Bruce
Carr nnd General Dudley cannot come. This
Huadon stratcgotlc move will disconcert the
Blnlno pcoplo more than they will admit.
The arrivals of today nro ns full of fight as
they wcro four years upo , when they did so
much to win the nomination for Harrison ut
Chicago.
The chief sppnltor of the party this after-
coon was Air. S 111 el of Indianapolis , nnd ho
Btruck out fight from the shoulder. Said ho :
"It IH certainly In very bad taste for Mr.
Quay , who forced Delnmater upon the repub
licans of Pennsylvania for governor and was
defeated , nnd for Platt who forced Passett
upon Now Yorn and was defeated , and for
Forauer , whoso disastrous campaign in Ohio
is well remembered by the republican party
It Is certainly in very bad tnstc for those
men to dictate at this tlmo to their party
who s'lall bo president , when their judgment
Is not backed by their records. "
There to Win.
Continuing , bo sold : "Tho Blalno senti
ment In this country Is by no means ns
Btrong as people have Dcon led to bolloyo. It
could bo more properly culled an anti-Harri
son sentiment. Wo irom Indiana are bora to
light long and hard and to win tbo light too.
Thcro Is oa shadow of a doubt now that Harrison
risen will bo ronoralnatod. Wo have the
delegates with which tu do it and it Is fool
ishness to talk about any ecrlous or fornild-
nblo opposition to the president.
"bpoalung of Blnlno , lot mo say that it
would ba very bad politics , conceding for the
moment that It can DO done , to sot asldo a
man xvboso administration tits boon the
prldo of the country und.a man who defeated
Cleveland four years ago for a man wno was
beaten by Cleveland. When the delegates
got down to business , and the dust tbattlie.se
calamity bowlora have raised for the moment
bas settled , It will bo u clean sweep. "
"But. for argument's sake , say that Blalno
should bo tbo winner , " began tbo newspaper
man.
"But wo won't assume It even for argu
ment's sake , " interrupted Mr. Sblol. "Wo
won't assume it under any consideration.
Blnlne will net bo a candidate. Harrison
will have no formidaolo nor united opposi
tion , will have no opposition of any kind be
yond tbo llrst flurry I have spoken of , "
Tbo Indlanlans are the most entnuslastlo
of mon. They talk Harrison everywhere
and all the tlmo , and it the fuvorlto does not
win It will not bo because they are not doing
all they can for him.

KANSAS CITV , Kan. , Juno 1. A joint meet
ing of the democratic and pcoplo's parties
of Kansas was bold bore today , which
may ultimately result In not only defeating
the republicans again at tbo coining state
election but also In transferring Kansas from
the list of republican states to at least the
doubtful column. Tbo mooting decided that
it would bo well for democrats and pcoplo's
party to form a coalition neatnst the repub
licans in the coming elections.
Among these representing the dcmocratlo
state committee wcro : W. O. Jones , cbair-
tnain of the committee ; W. II. Popporoll , ox-
Governor Charles Robinson , Hon. C. W.

\Vill Keep It n Secret.
The meeting wont into secret session nt 11
o'clocic and did not adjourn until 5 In the
afternoon. During tto intervening hours
the whole matter of fusion was thoroughly
discussed und a resolution was adopted giv
ing the sense of the mcotltrg ns In 1'ilvor ot
fusion. The resolution Is kept secret for
some reason unknown until next Saturday ,
when Iho secretary is authorized to give it
out fbr publication.
The preamble of the resolution sots forth
the advantages of fusion and arranges the
details of the coalition as follows : Tha demo
crats are to bo given the candidates for chief
justice of the supiomo court and congross-
mun-at-lurgo. The rest of tbo state ticket is
'
to no given to th'o people's parly.
The candidates nf.tho two parties will bo
nominated ntSopnruto conventions , the dem
ocrats on a dcmocratlo platform and the
people's party mon on a reform.platform.-tlio
object being to avoid endorsement by either
party of the other's principles.
The matter of presidential electors , was
discussed thoroughly , and It was decided
that u coalition should bo formed also in that
direction. The details of tbo fusion in that
quarter , however , were not definitely de
cided upon , that matter being loft to a mootIng -
Ing to bo held later.
Greed ot the Allliinre.
The reason for poitpo'nlng action on the
fusion on presidential electors was the desire
of the alliance to get the whole plum. They
want all the presidential electors while tha
democrats think they uro entitled to half of
them , considering tbo concessions they have
made on tbo state ticket. It is believed the
differences between the two parties on this
question will bo amicably settled. The gen
eral sentiment of the meeting wus "any
thing to boat tbo republicans. " Tbo repre
sentatives of both parties wcro willing to
make almost any concession to attain that
end.
end.Tho
The man most prominently mentioned in
connection with the nomination by tbo demo
crats for the candidate for chief justice of
Iho supreme court Is Judge John Martin , a
life long democrat. David Ovormoyer of
Topokn seemed to bo the favorite tor the
nomination of congrcsiman-at-largo. The
pcoplo's party mon wanted Attorney General
Ivos fnr governor , but the democrats did not
think ho was strong enough , 'rbat opinion ,
however , was given only In an advisory woy ,
the nomination being loft wholly with the
pcoplo's party.
There was a good deal of talk of fusion on
congressmen In the various districts , but thu
Keating decided to talto no action on that
matter. It being deemed best to leave fusion
In the districts with the districts themselves.
Another mooting will bo hold shortly to
arrange the details which wcro lolt incom
plete at the meeting today.

tlio bnpltnl ,
WASIIIXOTON , D , C. , Juno 1 , There Is to
bo no vote on the free silver colnago bill oren
on any amendment to It until after the Min
neapolis convention shall have closed , nnd ,
In all probability , there will ba none until
after the Chicago convention shall have also
como to nu end , the scnato having voted
today , on the suggoUlon of Mr. Aldrlch and
without n slnglo dissent from either side ot
the chamber , tbat no veto should ba taken on
that bill until after the 14th of Juno. This
agreement was arrived at attar Mr. Sher
man bad closed his two days * argument
against the hill , which his last words char ;
acterized as "a frightful daman to bo resisted
nnd opposed. "
Mr. Sherman spoke for an hour today with
the same force and oarnostncsi ho displayed
yesterday , but without having so largo or
attentive an audience , although Mr. Hill
did htm the honor of being a close listener.
Ho wan followed by Mr. Stewart , who bad
not haf f a dozen listeners on his own aide of
the chamber and who therefore addressed
himself almost exclusively to an audience of
domocratin senators.
There were two interesting incidents In
the morning hour. The lint was the in
troduction of the now senator from Virginia ,
General Kpha Hunton. Mr. Mundcrson.
administered tbo oath , and after the usual
congratulations from senators on both sides
ot the chamber , Mr. Hunton took thoscat
occupied until recently by Mr. Mills.
Hill U wltli the I'roo Sllvorltcs.
The other Incident is ono which had the
effect of getting the first direct veto from
Senator Hill on a financial question. An ap
parently innocent house bill to rogulalo the
manner In which property shall bo sold
under decrees of United States courts had
been taken from the calendar and was about
to ba passed without question , when Mr.
Teller offered an amendment requiring ofll-
cl/\Is / to rccolvo legal tender money 1ti satis
faction of judgments. Mr. Sherman was
prompt to notice as an effect ot the amend
ment that it might bo a violation of possible
conditions in note or mortgage that tbo
debt should bo paid lu gold. Ho therefore -
fore objected to Iho consideration ot
such an important bill under the live-min
utes rulo. But Mr. Morgan moved to pro
ceed to its consideration notwithstanding the
objection , and it wus on that motion that Mr.
Hill voted with the frco silver men. Mr.
Hunton also voted in the affirmative.
A call was made for the yeas nnd nays and
they were found to bp25 and 12 respectively.
The call showed the impossibility of getting
a quorum without breaking pairs , and the
Dill went over wltbout prejudice.

PAHIS , Juno I. [ New York Herald Cublo
Special to Tim BBD. ] "Neither Franco nor
Germany has any desire or intention of pro
voking war , but wo can never ba sure some
Incident , trivial , even absurdly insignificant
In essence , may not precipitate n struggle. "
That waa the reply Jules Simon gnvo today
to the question , "Is war likely td roiult from
the fetes that nro to bo bold nt Nancy next
week ! " In reply to another question Simon
said :
"If tboro Is war between Franco nnd Uor-
many , It Is my firm conviction that Franco
will bo victorious in the fight.11
There are In or out ot Franco few men
who can road the signs of the times more
shrewdly than the eminent statesman , or
who uro moro dispassionate or unbiased In
their judgment.
"What is It you want to sco mo about ! "
M. Simon asked. I told him how the public
had boon Impressed by the timely nnd wise
observations ho made last week respecting
President Carnot's ' forthcoming visit to
Nnncy and which had been quoted in the
editorial columns of the Pans Herald. Any
thing moro ho might have to say on the same
subject could not fail to bo of interest , espe
cially to those who believed the present
situation honeycombed with dangers.
ClmngCK In tha Time * .
"Certainly the situation Is very serious , "
M. Simon said. "Some observers of the
signs of tbo times are of the opinion that it
somewhat resembles that ot 1870. To n cer
tain extent that may bo right , but there are
s licnt points of difference. First ot all , the
sentiment ot the two nations Is not what It
was in 1STO. Then there was longing for
war. Napoleon III. felt war was necessary
If ho was to keep the thro no. Tholitugof
Prussia was also anxious for war. Ho vas
coiilldont of victory. His army was much
superior to the French ; ho had moro men
and his military organization was butter ,
while bo also possessed in MoltUo a general-In
ch iof to whonv no French commander could
compare. Napoleon should Imvo known these
rncts , but ho did not , or it may be ho
refused1 to recognize their Importance. Be
sides ho counted upon aid from Austria. Ho
entered upon the campaign in the spirit of
tholndvenluror who believes everything Is to
bo gained and that nothing can bo lost by
the coup.ho has placed who considers only
the chances of success and wholly disregards
the consequences of failure.
"Nowadays it Is entirely different. Neither
Franco nor Germany has any intentions of
going'tovrarJlfwnr''catr bo avoided. Tbo
'Gorman oraporor undoubtedly lias lo gout dp
parado. Ho * voul4 * * lllcpv6 t jnako a' great
show In tbo world , and ho tb'fnlca 11 would bo
a magnificent thing for biro , wore he able , to
crush Franco , but WllUam II told mo him
self that neither country could bo certain
of victory nnd that for the country boatou it
would moan complete and irretrievable ruin.
I do not believe he could have any reason
for saying such things , unless ho fully be
lieved what ho said. I was not at Berlin as
ambassador. My mission , though ofllulal in
ono souse , wns concerned with the labor
question , and was not of a character to call
forth remarks of that kind unless they wore
not cold diplomatic utterances , but the ex
pression of personal opinion. That statement
was perfectly spontaneous. Ho knows pretty
nearly exactly how the Gorman stands to the
French army , and I do not Dcllovo ho would
bavo gene to the trouble of a gratuitous lie.
Had ho thought his army was certain of vic
tory , bo would have remained silent. I have
dwelt upon this because I think it was a con
fession of the highest importance.
Thlnlis Franco Would Win.
"For ray own part I am convinced If there
was war between France and Germany ,
Franco will be tbo conqueror. In the last
war wo had no cbanco. Wo were out
numbered , our artillery , was lamentably
weak , and but I need say nothing about our
organization. Wo fought with courage
worthy of all admiration , and which drew
recognition oven from our opponents , but
what could valor against tbo sclonco
of a Von MoltUo and the overwhelming
superiority of tbo German army ) But now
the relative positions are changed ! Franco
possesses an Infantry equal to any ; u great
Infantry. Our artillery Is also strong. The
advance that has econ made in that arm is
extraordinary. On the other hand our cav
alry Is not so good. Tbero lies uno petit
danger.
"Then coraos the question of generalship.
Von Moltko is dead and who is there to fill
tbo vacancy ! So far as I can learn there Is
no Moltko now in the service ot Germany.
On our side wo have Sauslor. Ho. like the
present Gorman commanders , is now uno
gonoralo doslgno par la vlctolno , out there
Is no doubt of his real capacity , and does
Germany possess bis superior ? I think not ,
and oil things considered I repeat that in
the event of war jo parioral sur la vlctoirlo
do lu Franco.
Kuln Sure for One.
"With and in spite of all this , it Is my con
firmed opinion that whoever provokes n war
will be the real criminal. War moans utter
ruin to ono country or the other , The existence
enceof the conquered nation as n great
power will cease with defeat. Its role lu the
History world will bo played out. Too irreat
stress cannot bo laid upon this fact , and it is
a circumstance which should make
men In power In both Franco
and Germany pause. Future agon
will rcg'ard him who brings about so torrlblo
a catastrophe as a malefactor of the worst
dogrco. Kccognlzincr this neither William
II. npr liny responsible politician can wish to
mnko war.
"Still It Is certain that war may como
wltbout bolng dcslrod. Incidents loading to
the crlsU may crop up any mo
ment , and owing to susceptibility
graftoo on to Iho Alsace-Lorraine question ,
ttioso fetes ot Nancy seriously aggravate
the dangers. The position is ono of extreme
dlfUculty. It would have been much wiser
on Cnrnot'a part not to have gene to Nancy.
It would bavo been very easy for him to have
pleaded other ongagomontB , to bavo declined
the Invitation extended him on the ground
tnat his autlei would require him to remain
In Paris at tbat particular moment.
"Not for a moment do I thltiK Cnrnot had
any Idea that his going to Nanoy might pro-
voiio war. It would bo absurd to Buppoio
that ha has ever had uny intention of caus
ing war or tbat the pcoplo of Nnnoy had uny
such doslro. Still ho might have dcclmod
tbo Invitation to the fetes. "
Hera I asked M. Blmon if ho thought it
wus possible for Proddont Caruot to draw

"Ono last question , M. Klmon what In

war , as affoctcd by the Nanoy celebrationsi"
"Barring accidents , I Deliovo peace will bo

She Will Send DnlrgutrA to tlio Monetary
ConfiTcnro.
PAHI ? , Juno 1. In the Clmmoar of Depu
ties ywtorday M. Soubrom moved an appel
lation In fuvor of n sliver standard of cur
rency. Ho argued that It silver wus de
monetized It would no longer have any value
in Franco. In Austria , ho said , mcasuros
nro pending that withdraw TfAOOJ.OOO f roues'
In gold from Paris and London. It is essen
tial that the French government shall send
representatives to the coming silver confer
ence with Instructions tending to effect a
rise In silver and prevent a withdrawal of
cold. Both England and Franco ought to
inako nu < st strenuous efforts to rehabilitate
silver. The United States government is
well disposed toward the project.
M. Uouvlor.mlnlstor of ilnancrospondlng ,
said that the country most affected by the
situation was Great Britain , owlnp to the re
lations ot that government with India.
The key to the situation was In London.
The French government wns disposed to
give its delegates Instructions favorlnc an
Increase in thu valun ot silver , but ttioso
would bo subordinate to the instructions
given to tbo British delegates. In the mean
time the French government was opposed
to thu abrogation of the Latin monetary
union.
In regard to the Invitation extended by the
UnltnU States to Franca to take part In the
International conference M. Houvior said
that the French government would accept
the invitation , but would reserve tbo right
of liberty of action both now and in the
future.

question of wages was discussed nt great
length. For n time tbo masters held out
against the letting of the men return to work

making n 12 } per cent reduction. Finally ,
hownvor , they changed their attitude and
accepted the proposition made by the mon to
go back to work at 10 per cent reduction.
The strike bopnn March 12 , when nearly
all the minors in England quit work for the
