CIIICAOO , III. , Juno 17. There are many
prcsldcntlaf barks tossing about on the
political sea tonight , but through the mists
end shadows the hull of Cleveland's ' hopes
loom ominously above them nil. Everybody
realizes that the great question ot the con
vention is , "Will Cleveland bo nominated on
the lirst ballot ! "
Should the logic ot ovonti answer this
question in the nogatlvo the friends of all
the candidates will feel that the Hsu are
then open to their favorlto. for somehow the
conviction has gone forth thnt the falluro
of tbo ox-prosldont to receive the
nomination on the first ballot
means the elimination of the great
tariff reformer from the contest. Tno cor
rectness of this opinion Is not conceded by
the Cleveland managers. They maintain
thnt while they bollovo their man will bo
nominated on the llrt ballot tbo falluro to
receive the requisite two-thirds on thnt bal
lot will not bo an indication of his subsequent
defeat , for they expect Important accessions
from the followers ot Boles , Hill nnd Gray
nftor their stales have paid the compli
mentary tribute to their favorlto sons.

Cleveland , Hill , Boles. Gray nnd probably
Palmer and Gorman will have a following on

as dark horses aim compromise candidates.

Ilu Will Ho Supported.
CIIICAOO , 111 , , Juno,17. The Gorman move
ment , nbout which so much has been said in
the pro's , received a now impetus this after
noon by the arrival of Senator Gorman of
Maryland , who cnmo to the Palmer house
nbout 2 o'clock. Wllh him was a party of
Maryland dologhtos , Messrs. Comptou ,
Brown , Gwynn nnd Hunt. The senator
flatly refused to discuss the political situa
tion.
tion."I don't know anything about It , " ho said ,
"I have Just arrived in the city , nnd I hnvo
had no time to look over the ground. "
Ex-Govornor Brown of Maryland con-
fussed this information : "Thoro is. " ho
Bitid , "a strontr friendliness for Cleveland In
Mnrylond , but our delegation comes to
Chicago ucinstructcd , nnd If wo sco a
reasonable chance to nominate our favorite
our people would expect us to do our duty.
Senator Gorman's mime will not bo used to
prevent or forward the nomination of any
candidate. The safest thing for you to say
is that Maryland has no candidate and her
delegates are hero to counsel with the demo
crats unon the question. "
In thn meantime it Is evident that a great
deal of work is being done for Gorman ,
chiefly perhaps from the New York bead-
quArters.
Not Thnt They I.ovo Gorinnn.
VV. J. Black , late speaker of the Indiana
house , said : "Yes , you can hear Gorman tallt
all ever tno place. Tbo senator is certainly a
possibility , but tbo time is uot ripe to bring
him forward yet , and I thing his frlonds will
probably support the boom until after
the lirst ballot shall bavo cleared the
air and showed us whora wo stand. There
ore really two parties behind that movement ,
onoslncorclv anxious to make Senator Gor
man president ; the oth.cr sincerely anxious
that somoboay ole shall not bo president.
If the two can combine , it will bccoino a se
rious factor In the convention , but they have
not combined yot. You can sco these same
two forces ut work for Gray , for Morrison
nnd for others who bavo been named. I shall
not mnko up my mind as to what is going to
happen until I sco how fnr Cleveland falls
behind the two thirds vote on the
first ballot. Not cnouch delegations are yet
on hand to mnko missionary work worth the
trouble of organizing and pushing , but it
Bccrns to bn understood nt the Cleveland
headquarters that either Gorman , Boloi ,
Morrison , Palmer or Husscll will got necos-
nary help front the Tammany directors to encourage -
courage their suppoitcrs to continue the
light. In other words , with much bettor
organization , the same campaign is to bo
operated in Chicago which was made In Min
neapolis , with the ilitTorcnco that Mr. Harrison
risen had to bavo half the delegates , while
IS - * Mr. Cleveland must get two-lhlrus of them. "
NU\T YOltK'S
Murphy'a 'MaiiircstoVakons Up the "Autl-
CIIICAOO , 111. , Juno 17. The delegates from
the Syracuse convention , were a good deal
stirred up today over the Murphy manifesto ,
nnd n number of them wcro prepared with
responses to it designed to counteract Its or-
feet and to show that Cleveland was not only
1ho strongest man In the party in Is ow York ,
but that ho would carry Iho state and got a
"largo number ot independent and republican
votes. W. C. Wultnoy of Brooklyn , ono of
the nntl-dolcgate.x , said :
"Mr. Murphy In his Interview seems do-
filroiiB of giving the impression that tbo
loaders in the May convention movement
hava been in the habit of opposing the dem
ocratic state tickets In Now York , and par
ticularly that of Ib'Jl. As to this I can only
nay that Mr. Murphv knows very well the
fact to bo totUo contrary , as I can state fiom
personal knowledge. Some of tttt ) delegates
from the Syracuse convention are among the
bist wornors for the democratic party. Mr.
Murphy soys that the rank and fllo of the
democratic party uro prc-pared to vote
ngnlnst the most popular democrat In the
country for the presidency because they
fear his election would please the Syracuse1
delegation , I will Dim ply say to this that if
Mr. Murphy believes what ho says ho con-
tliiers his own followers to bo mugwumps
unil not democrats , and bib Interview Is un
insult to the regular democracy of the state
oi Now Yoric.

"There nro two men prominent in the Hill
organization who uro regarded with t > uspiclou

These gcntlomcn nro Mr. Murphy nnd Lieu
tenant Governor Shoohau , Thcro U a gen
eral impression in the state of Now York
that they woio treacherous to the national

that they will bo so'ugnln this year ,

who is known only nmonir Mr. Murphv's

mised this year by the now ballot reform

Now York will vote for Air. Cleveland if
nominated. Nobody else can bring about

Views of n Member of the Democratic Na
tional Committee ,
CAtrun , Wyo. , Juno 17. [ Special Tele
gram to Tun Bnn. | There Is no question
that these few persons favoring martial law
for Wyoming thought some action would
bo tnkon last Monday In tbo matter
by the president , but today a
party hero received a letter from an
eastern member of the democratic national
commltteo asking for nn unbiased statement
of tbo Wyoming cattle trouble to bo sent to
him nt Chicago and expressing the belief
that it would bo gooJ timber for n plank in
the national platfoim , to be used to offset the
icgro outrage plank ot the republican plat
form.
The letter also states that the matter was
before the cabinet before the Minneapolis
convention nnd moro bad feeling xvas stirred
up over Its consideration than anything ever
before it. Blttlno , the writer says , ex
plained himself as unwilling to consider It at
all , holding that it was purely a state affair
nnd that the action of the War department
was unwarranted j others wcra Inclined to
uphold the War department in what it had
dono.
'Iho writer concludes his letter by saying
that this had moro to do with Blatna's with
drawal from the cabinet than anything , and
he states this on cabinet authority , nnd ho
( tales that tbo thing is going to cut a big
figure in national politics this fall.
The people of Wyoming , ho declares , need
have no fear of martial law , as the adminis
tration was sick ot the whole matter and was
nnxlous to hnvo the prisoners demanded
utraln , and that Blaino's withdrawal
from the cabinet would stop any
further consideration of martial law
nnd that the War department would wash
Its hands of the matter at an early data. The
War department was In n suicidal quandary ,
ho thought , over what to do with the pris
oners nt Fort Hussoll in case Johnson county
never demanded them , which it is generally
believed Johnson county will never do , but
catch them again when turned loose , if they
ever are , by the department.

In a body at 8 o'clock over the Burllnctou

The Samosot club hold a well attended
meeting last night at its quarters in Boyd's

completed for the trip. Committees were
detailed to meet at the Union depot the Cali
fornia delegation , which arnvcs In
Omaha on a special train at 11 o'clock

Otncr prominent democrats , not delegates ,
will also accompany the party. Charles
Hcdick of Oklahoma City arrived in Omaha
yesterday and will Join the party.
Mr. Juan Boyle , a democrat of consider
able distinction at Kearney , is hero and wijl
go to Chicago tonight. Mr. Bovlo has Just
returned from a trip through Colorado. Ho
bellovoj thnt neither Cleveland nor Hill will
be the nominee of the convention. Ho thiims
the choice will bo Gorman of Maryland and
Boles for second place.
' Gorman Is a great favorite in Colorado ,
and in fuel west of Ne.brasUa ns well as In
the east , " sala Mr. Boyle , ' ! think Gorman
is the only available man who can carry
Now York. "
Colonel Frank P. Ireland of Nebraska
City , who has recently been In Now York
City , Is aUo in Omaha. He , too , is a strong
Gorman man.
"I think that Gorman will bo the man. "
sold Mr. Ireland. "Tho leading democrats
know they bavo to make a strong cholco to
carry Now YorK und they must have that
state for any chance of victory this fall ,
and it looks now very innch like
Gorman is the only man who can
carry that stare. Both Cleveland and Hill
have a largo following , but tbo factional
light v'11 ' liurt both and neither will bo
available. Cleveland could not carry the
state four years ago und I can't sec what ho
has done since that time to make tbo party
thlnlt ho can dn it now. Gorman nnd Boies
will bo the ticket , I most earnestly bellovo ,
Und I think they will be selected after Cleve
land and Hill rccclvo their complimentary
votes. "

tude of the Illinois delegation is still the
subject of much speculation and up to data
only ouo thing seems determined that the
candidate who is the cholco of the majority
of the delegates wilt receive the entire forty-
elijht votes of the tato. The instructions of
tbo utato convention were that the delegation
vote as n unit on all Important questions and
there Is a unanimous resolve to abldo by
these instructions. But upon tbo question
of wblcb candidate IB to receive tbo vote of
the state there U difforenca of opinion , Tbo
Inttructlons of thu state convention de
clared that In the event It should bo
found expedient to coma to the great west
fora candidate , the Illinois delegationnhould
Ube all honorable means to secure the nomi

question which the delegation is to consider

WASUIXGTOX , D. Ci Juno 17. Tbo demo
cratic majority of the house committee on
reform ia the civil .sorvfco has agreodlipon
n report drawn up uy ; Uapr.osontativo Boat-
ncr of Louisiana 11 per , the results of the com-
(
mlttuo's investigation ot the alleged violation
of the civil servioV Iti'w at Baltimore. The re
port quotes the posttnaster general's state
ment that nona of'itho parsons whoso dis
missal from ofllca had boon recommended
by the civil service commission for violation
of the law had boc'n dismissed or prosecuted
and elves at some length'his reasons for fallIng -
Ing to act , according to his testimony before
the committee , wbich'roasons ' the committee
characterize as contradictory. It says ; "It
"
is singular that the , postmaster"conoral
should bavo endorsed the idea that the men
charged with the violation of the civil service
were entitled to notioo ihafore any action as
to tbolr eujlt wd entered upon , and that
they wcro entitled ( o assistance of counsel ia
tbo Investigation. I
" I'ho examination oft the testimony taken
by the Inspectors and which the postmaster
general claims to have acted on. shows that
neither their conclusions Kor bis are sup
ported by the statements' of the parties Im
plicated : o i the contrary , testimony reported
by the inspectors coifflrma ; and corroborates
fully that tnlion by ttw.oivil service com
mission. Substantially thu same facts ad
mitted by the panics bbtore tbo commission
wcro sworn to botoro the inspector * and the
severe strictures nnd' , Criticisms which the
inspectors passed oii thfe work of Mr. Roosevelt
velt In making th'q Inrcaiigaticm nro nut
berne out br any 'facts stated by the wit
nesses on that examination.
„
"Tho acceptliiTco''by the postmaster gen
eral without furthetiiDVestlgatlon dr inquiry
of the report of the Inspectors , vbipa , U
proved Convicted the civil service commis-
sionors.pf gross ofiiciaUnlsconduct and most
dishonorable practices,1 , is to say the least ,
"
extraordinary. " ' * ' / ' . ,
The report , conlfnulpg , says : "Tho an
swers of tbo postmaster general to many of
the questions propounded by your commitoo
wcro evasive aad Utterly inconsistent of the
evidence on which ho'claims to have acted. "
It also comments orf tao failure of the post
master general to procluco a written opinion
from thu assistant attorney , general of his
department to the effect that participation in
the primary elections , on Which the case was
based , did not constitute a violation of tbo
laws , and doubts whether any reputable at
torney would risk hlsjroputation by giving
such on opinion. Futthor , it says : "Tho
garbled statement of { evidence tatton before
tbo inspectors furnished by the postmaster
general shows the < desperate straits to
whlcn be is driven In the attempt to sustain
the action of his inspectors and his own. "
The report holds that tbo accused employes
were actually guiltyof a violation of law
and that their excuses were "transparent
evasion. " It says : fv'Had the postmaster
general been able tq jhpw that ho had been
advised by the Depdhmont of Justice that
the law did not apply to contributions
for political primarV purposes , or had
bo fairly dofeudcu . bis bcliof that
tbo men were iu ignorance of IU provisions ,
or were ho invested ! with a discretionary
power not to oxecututho laws , and had bo
exercised his ( Uscrotliri'ln refusing to rc-
move these men tb'era' might have boon
sotno excuse for his falluro to do so , but on
the ground stated oy him hU notion indi
cated either a determination not to enforce
the law or negligence therein to the last de
gree. ' i
The report concludes OB follows : "Wo
therefore llnd thatjtbo report of tbo civil
service recommending the removal of certain
employes in the post ofilco at Baltimore was
well rounded ; mat , the postmaster
nt Baltimora has + 'not ' roraovcd any
of these parties substantially by
direction of the 'postmaster ' general :

Origin niil : Course of the Storm.
Thi > storm originated near Jackson , In Mar
tin county , .took a northeasterly courao
through Farluault county , until It reached a
point between Welts uncl Minnesota Luke ,
where It divided Into two sections one con
tinuing its northeasterly course through
Wasoca county Into Steclo county , where It
was dissipated. The othdr section too it a
south by cast course through Prceborn ,
Mower nnd Fullmoro counties , extending
nearly to the Mississippi river before it lost
its force.
A Wells , Mlnu. , correspondent of the
Pioneer Press says of the passage of the
"
cloud : During the passage "of tbo storm ,
which lasted about llftocn minutes , the
sccno was ono of the most awe-in
spiring character. Tno air was full of
debris of every description scantling ,
boards , window sashes , chickens , ducks ,
and geese were whirled about in the grasp
of tbo currant -00 feet above the earth. The
cloud rose and fell at intervals of a quarter
of a mile , and dozens of outhouses were
wrecked at every uwpop. The ( load and In-
juroa in the Polish settlement about eight
mlles north of Wells cannot bo estimated.

York Hernia Special to TUB BKE. ]
I am at last enabled to oonllrm the news from
Caracas , Venezuela , about the overthrow of
Pulaclo. The verification ha ] ust boon re
ceived in reply to my latest dispatch.
Palaolo has retired from oftlco nail
is in htdlnir somowhoro. According to
ono story ho fled to La Guarya ana
went aboard a voisol which was kept m
waiting for him. Another , and I should
Judge a moro callable account , states that
ho hns not yet loft the country. Ho would
have done so but the mombor& of his cabinet
would not permit him. They hold him
responsible for the trouble they nro In and
say that they will not allow him to run away
nnd leave thorn to shoulder tun blamo.
It was u hard matter to persuade the hot
headed dictator that his power was nt an end
nnd that the only thing loft for his followers
was to pretend compliance with the will of
the people , substitute a provisional govern
ment for tbo dictatorship and issue a call to
con cress to moot and uhooso his successor us
president of the republic.
I'ulnclo I'liially Weakened.
Palnclo and his ministers had many meetings -
ings before the latter could prevail upon him
to follow their ndvlco. Ho would never have
given in to thorn hnd it noi. boon for the re
port of disasters thick and fast that c.iine Iu
from the battlefield. Uofo.xt after defeat
weakened Pnlacio's determination and finally
ha announced that ho would abide by hi *
cabinet's decision.
They said that the llrjt stop for him to
take was to resign. Acting upon this ug-
goatlon ho handed in his notice of retirement.
The next , thing was to choosa his temporary
successor. Nntiirnljy their choice vfn Vlco
President Pillogus , who was proaont at the
conference. Ho declined. Ho did not propose ,
ho sild , to offer hlmsolt up as a martyr. Ho
could not , in Justice to himself , accept the
responsibility. This throw the mooting into
consternation for some tune. The cabinet
could not think of anyone to fill the perilous
post ,
Atloneth ono of these present suggested
Minister ot War Sarrla. After tome hosl-
tancy ho accoptea , but on the condition
thnt Pnlncio should do as ho said. This wn
agreed and then Sarria made known his
plan. It was that Palnclo should go into
hiding , the secret place to bo known only to
thomomoors of his cabinet , who promised
not to betray hint to his onomlci. When
tbo dictator had Vouched bis refuge Sar
rla was to publicly announce Palaolo' *
retirement , declare submlsstou to his poopla
and call uoon congrojs to name the next
president. This Was accordingly done ,
Tbo result U not satisfactory to the revo
lutionists , who declare that tbo present con
gress is flllod wita men who were not elected
and that the now president must be chosen
by the representatives , legally chosen to the
national legislature. Crospo and hit army
