Hlbbard , secretary of the Hoyal Uuby Wlno company , are lying critically ill nt their home In Evanston as a result of arsenical poisoning. It is believed that all will recover , but prompt medical treatment alone prevented a most serious result. It Is supposed that the tea served at the midday meal yesterday contained a form of arsenic.

Ulupp of 9'JO Chicago avenue , Evanston , spent last night in work- inc over the family and by the constant use of emetics brought the sufferers this morn ing to h condition that ho describes as safe. Mrs. Hibbarcl and her 4-year-old daughter are in the most serious condition. The sufferers agree on a description of the symptoms. Circumstances aroused ttio sus picions of Dr. Clapp. Olllcers visited the Hlbbard. . house last night , and after closely questioning the servant , decided that she , too , had been affected by the poisonous drink and was innocent. She was allowed to leave , but will bo watched. Lunch was prepared about 1 o'clock. Ex cept for the invalid husband of Mrs. New ell the wumcn were alone In the houso. J. W. Hibbard is in Omaha on business in con nection with the wine company. The medi cal investigation showed that Mr. Newell , an invalid , who had not been able to como tc the table , and Charlie Newell , his son , had both escaped the distressing attack. Both had eaten the saino food as the sufferers , but had taken no tea. This fact served to fasten suspicion on the drink. Part of the beverage had been saved , and a chemical ex amination will bo made to discover its in groilicnts. Dr. Clapp considers that the poison was a form of arsenic , but its exact nature cannot bo learned until an analysis has been made. J.OYAL.t'OlO.V. .

"Wo are all agreed that things can be come no better in ATatorlund so long " Ahlwardt interrupts : "So long as the Jews draw their web over us. " Bismarck says angrily : "You huvo not the fioorof the house. " Ahlwnrdt responds coolly : "But the Jews have tlio money. They take the house and the homo of tlio peasant. They uro worse than the social democrats. " Then Bismarck says , very angrily : "I repeat you have not the fioorof the houso.

Tomorrow's sun will see the beginning of a now race for the presidency. Before the Ohio state conven tion adjourns for the day the llrst candidate will bo falrlv in tht .field. His name Is Wil liam McKinloy. 'Tonight , at least , that Is the outlook earring an earthquake orsomo- thlng equally unexpected for it seems well understood that ' McKtnlcy's rcnomlnatlon lomorrow , which promises to bo by ncclamaj tlon , Is only the start of a campaign for the highest honor In the gift of the nation. Whatever opposition there may have been hero lias apparently failed to organize Its forces against the famous gov ernor , or , with u chivalry worthy of the oc casion , has been unwilling to take such nn ungracious parl , The latter hypothesis finds some confirmation' in the fact that no name , not even that of McKlnlcy , wrought a greater whirlwind of applause in the con vention today than that of McKinley's old- time rival , ex-Governor Foraker. The men tion of Foraker's name occurred In a brief address at the very outset of tlio proceed ings , the speaker being F. S. Purscll , chair man of tbo republican stuto central commit tee , who was calling the convention to order. Instantly there was a round of cheering. It was a picturesque beginning of the star con vention of the year. McKlnlry for President. The republican state convention mot hero this afternoon for the pur pose of nominating a state picket and firing < the first , gun in the renownl of the light after the national defeat. The rival leaders , Sherman ana Forukcr , are absent , though their friends are bound to see that no undue advantage Is taken of the fact of the absence of their re spective captains. It socms probable In advance of action that the present olllcers will bo renomlnatcd. In Governor McIClnloy's case it is scarcely con cealed that the expectation is that if suc cessful in the racojo it will make him the logical candidate for the presidency in the next campaign , The tomnorary chairman , Hon. Charles Grosevenor , on assuming the duties , de livered an extended nddrcss , chiefly devoted , o the tariff , giving probably the keynote 'or the platform for McKinley us u presl- 'cntial candidate. Ho dwelt on the risdom of the McIClnley , bill , the number of rticlcs which came in free under it , while t the same time protecting American in- ustries and declared that if the democrats ttempted to pass an udvalorom tariff they vould have to make a rote of 30 percent all .round . , leaving nothipg- the free list le attributed tno present hard times not so nuch to the silver problem as to the appro- icnsion that the democrats will carry out , helr pledges In regard to upsetting tbo ariff. Ho declared that protection and eciproclty wcro the twin sources of Amcri- : an prosperitv. , Extracts from Senator 'Shcrnmn'g Letter. Senator Sherman , writing from Washing- on , D.

He said that for- unutely public opinion seems to huvo been : oncentrated in favor oftho"ronomlnation of he candidates selected two years ago. Giv- ng a special good word for Governor MclCin- iey , ho concludes within review of ttio achieve ments of the republican party , declaring ; hut it had engrafted Its principles in the aws ot the country to the latter's great ad vantage us u free and prosperous nation. In contrast with this , ho' said , the democratic party and democratic president could not ; igrco on or formulate a single affirmative measure of public policy , nor even agree how or whore to attack any measure of the republican party. It should bo the pride und pleasure of the Ohio rcpullcuns to take , hc load in the coming election in reviving .ho enthusiasm of old times. After the appointment of committees the convention adjourned till tomorrow. At tonight's session , Harry Daughcrty was elected permanent chairman. F. S. Purscll , chairman of the outgoing state cen tral committee and candidate for second : ) lace on the new state ticket , was defeated for member of the state central commlttco : n his district , the Eleventh. This practi cally retired him from , attempting u contest for the lieutenant governorship. J. C.
