The notification committee reached Canton on a Cleveland Terminal & . Valley special at 11:10. : The permanent reception committee recently organized for the campaign , headed by Judge George H. Baldwin , William R. Day and Henry A. Wise , were at the depot to meet the party ; decorated tallyhos and carriages were In waiting at the station. The parade va organized , the Grand Army band and the citizens , troops of cavalry leading the < \thlcles occupied by the guests. Citizens fell In behind and an enormous crowd quickly Bothered about the McKlnley home , where the duties of the committee were discharged , and where the general public had been In formally Invited through press notices. On arriving at the McKluley homo the committee and guests found an enormous crowd aE&emblcd about the residence , but an open Fpace on the north side was re served and the party was quickly seated upon the camp chairs provided. Mrs. Mc Klnley and a company of friends occupied the front porch as the party arrived. Just as the crowd was quieting down Governor McKlnley stepped out on the porch and was given a most enthusiastic ovation , cheer after cheer arising from the crowd. When the notification committee reached Canton , the skies were overhung with heavy clouds and a rain storm seemed Imminent. As the arrangements were to have nearly the whole exercises In the open air , the committee set promptly to work. Dut In stead of the expected rain , just as Major McKlnley stepped onto the porch , the sun burst through the clouds and the weather became most auspicious. XIrs. XIcKlnley and Mother XIcKlnley , together with .Mrs. Thurston and other women coming with the I party , occupied the porch during the exer cises. When these had been concluded the visitors were presented Individually to Gov ernor and Mia. XIcKlnley , who shook each one by thu hand. Hon. .Mark Hanna , pre sided at the ceremony. Then the company adjourned to the tent on the rear lawn , where a simple , but bountiful lunch was served. C. W. Fair banks , who was temporary chairman of the convention and chairman of the committee who la to notify .Mr. Hobart of his nomina tion for vice president , was one of the party. No tlmo was lost after the arrival of the visitors before the formal exercises were begun. Senator Thurstou stepped upon the porch and delivered the oillctal notification. He was greeted with enthusiastic applause and was frequently Interrupted by the cheering of the sentiments be expressed. He spoke as follows : THURSTON'S FORXIAL NOTICE. "Governor XIcKlnley : Wo are here to perform the pleasant duty assigned us by the republican national convention , re cently assembled In St. Louis , that of for mally notifying you of your nomination as candidate of the republican party of the United States. We respectfully request your acceptance of this nomination and your ap proval of the declaration of principles adopted by the convention. We-assure you that you arc the unanimous choice of a united party and your candidacy will be Immediately accepted by the country as an absolute guaranty of republican success. "Your nomination lies been made In obedience to a popular demand , whose uni versality and spontaneity attest the affec tion aud confidence of the plain people ol the United States. Hy common consent you are their champion. Their mighty uprising in your behalf emphasizes the sincerity ol their conversion to the cardinal principle : of protection and reciprocity as best cxeni- p'ificd In that splendid congressional act > hlch justly bears your name. Under It tills nation advanced to the very culmlna > tlon of a prosperity far surpassing that ol all .other peoples and all other times ; a prospcrl'v shared In by all sections , all IiHeres' and all classes ; by capital and labor ; by producer arid consumer ; a pros perity so happily In harmony with the genius of popular government that Its choicest blesalngs were widely distributed among the lowliest tellers and the humbles ! homes. "In 1S92 , your countrymen , unmindful ol your solemn warnings , returned that party to power which reiterated Its everlasting opposition to a protective tariff aud de manded the repeal of the XIcKlnley act. They sowed the wind. They reaped the whirlwind. The Bufferings and losses and Oleasters to the American people from four years of democratic tariff are vastly greater than those which came to them from four years' of civil war. "Out of It all one great good remains. These who scorned your counsels speedily witnessed the fulfillment of your prophecies , and even as the scourged and repentant Israelites abjured their stupid Idols and re sumed unquestioning allegiance to Xloses and to Xloses' God , so now your countrymen , Ehamcd of their errors , turn to you and to those glorious principles for which you stand , In the full belief that your candidacy and the republican platform mean that the end of the wilderness has come i-ml the promised land of American prosperity la again to them on Insured Inheritance. "Hut your nomination means more than the endorsement of u protective tariff , of reciprocity , of sound money , and of honest finance , for all of which you have so stead fastly stood. It means an endorsement of your heroic youth ; your fruitful years of nrdous public service ; your sterling pa triotism ; your stalwart Americanism ; your Chrlbtlan character , and thu purity , fidelity and simplicity of your private life. In all these things you are the typical American ; for all these things you arc the chosen leader of the people. God gave you strength to so bear the honors and meet the duties of that great office for which you are now nominated and to which you will bo elected that your administration will enhance the dignity and power and glory of this republic , and secuic the natty , welfare and happiness of Its liberty loving people , " GOVERNOR M'KINLGY REPLIES. At 12:30 : Governor XIcKlnley arose to respond end the cheering was renewed. When qulcl was restored ho spoke as follows : "Senator Thurston at. f Gentlemen of the Notification Committee of the Republican National Convention. To bo'selected us its presidential candidate by a great part ) convention , rctirescntlne to vast a numbci of people of the United States. Is a most distinguished honor for which I would not conceal uiy high appreciation , althougli deeply sensible of the great rciponslbllitlet of the trust and my Inability to bear them without the cenerous and constant support of my fellow countrymen. Great as U the honor conferred , equally arduous and im portant Is the duty Imposed , and In accept Ing the one I astimie the other , relying upon the patriotic devotion of the people ti : the best Interests of our beloved country and the sustaining rare and aid of Htm , with out Whose support all we ili > ls empty and 4 viln. Should the people ratify the choice of the great convention for which you speak , tuy only aim will bn to promote the public good \\btrh In America 1st always the good of the Kreatest number , the honor of out country and the welfare of ( he people. "The questions to be settled In the national content this year arc an serious and lui rortant as any of thn great government prob < lonu that have confronted us In the pasl quarter of a century. They command oui sober Judgment and a settlement free fron : partisan prejudice mid passion , beneficial to ourselves and lefit'lng the honor aiu grandeur of ( ho republic. They touch ever ) Interest of our common country Our In duitrial supr u cy , our productive capacity our business and commercial prosperity , our abor and Its rcwaids. our national credit and currency , our proud financial honor , and our splendid free citizenship the birthright of every American are nil Involved In the lending campaign , and thus every home In [ he land Is directly and Intimately con nected with their proper settlement. "Great are the Issues Involved In the coming election , and eager and earnest the people for their right determination. Our lonK'stlc trade must be won back and our dli > worklngmen employed In gainful oc cupations at American wages. Our home market must be restored to Its proud rank of first In the world , and our foreign trade , to precipitately cut off by adverse national eglslatlon. reopened on fair and equitable erma for our surplus agricultural and manu facturing products. Protection and re- crlproclly , twin measures of a true Ameri can | iollcy , should again command the earnest encouragement of the government nt Wash ington. Public confidence must be resumed , and the skill , the energy , the capital of our country , find ninplo employment at home , sustained , encouraged and defended agnlm-t the unequal competition and serious 'U- ndvantogc with which they are now contend ing. REVENUES Mt'ST UE INCREASED. "The govern nent of the United States must raise money enough to meet both Its current expenses and Increasing needs. Its revenues should bo so raised as to protect the material Interests of our people , with the lightest possible drain upon their resources and maintain that high standard of civilization which has distinguished our country for more than a century of Its existence. "The Income of the government. I repeat , should equal Its necessary and proper ex penditures. A failure to pursue this policy lias compelled the government to borrow money In a time of peace , to sustain Its credit and pay its daily expenses. This policy should be reven-ed , and that , too , as speedily as posnlble. H must bo ap parent to all. regardless of past party ties or adHlatlons , that It Is our paramount duty to provide adequate revenue for the ex penditures of the government economically IMII ! prudently administered. The republican party has , heretofore , done this , and I confi dently believe It will do In the future when the party Is again entrusted with power In the executive and legislative branches of Our government. "Tho national credit , which has thus far fortunately resisted every assault upon It , must and will bo upheld and strengthened. If sufficient revenues are provided for the support of the government there will be no necessity for borrowing money and increas ing the public debt. "The complaint of the people Is not against the administration for borrowing money and Issuing bonds to preserve the credit of the country , but against the ruin- nous policy which has made this necessary. It Is but an Incident , and a necessary one , to thb policy which has been Inaugurated. The one Inevitable effect of such a policy U seen In the deficiency of the United States treasury , except as It Is replenished by loans and In the distress of the people who are suffering because of the scant demand foi either their labor or the products of theli labor. Here Is the fundamental trouble , the remedy for which Is republican opportunity and duty. "During all the years of republican con trol following resumption there was o steady reduction of the public debt , while the gold reserve was sacredly maintained and our currency and credit preserved with out depreciation , taint or suspicion. If II would restore this policy that brought us unexampled prosperity fur thirty years under the most trying conditions evci known in this country , the policy by whlcb v.-e made and bought more goods at home and sold more abroad , the trade balance would bo quickly turned In our favor and gold would come to us and not go from us In the settlement of all such balances In the future. The party that supplied by legis lation the vast revenues for the conduct ol our greatest war and promptly restored the credit of the country at Its close , and that from Its abundant revenues paid off a large share of the debt Incurred In this war , and that resumed specie payment and placed our paper currency upon a sound and en during basis , can be safely trusted to pre serve both our credit and currency wltl : honor , stability and Inviolability. "The American people hold the financial honor of our government as sacred as oui flag , and can be relied upon to guard I ! with the same sleepless vigilance. Thej hold Its preservation above party fealty ani have often demonstrated that party ties avail nothing when the spotless credit of oui government Is threatened. MUST HAVE GOOD MONEY. "The money of the United States ant every kind or form of It , whether of paper sliver or gold , must be as good as the besi In the world. It must not only be curreni nt Us full face value at home , hut It musi be counted at par In any and every com mcrclal center of the globe. The sagacloui and far-seeing policy of the great men whc founded our government ; the teachings anc acts of the wisest financiers at every stag ( In our history ; the steadfast faith and splen did achievements of the great party to whlcl we belong and the genius and Integrity ol our people have always demanded this and will over maintain It. The dollar pait to the farmer , the wage earner and the pen sloner , must continue forever equal In pur chasing power to thu dollar paid to an ) government creditor. "The contest this year will not be waged upon theory and speculation , but In the ! l ht of several practical experiences ant ] dearly acquired knowledge. The great bodj of our citizens know what they want anil that they Intend to have. They know lei what the republican party stands and what its return to power means to them. They realize that the republican party believes that our work should be done at home and not abroad , and everywhere proclaim their de votion to the principles of a protective tariff , which , while ( supplying adequate reve. nues for the government , will restore Amer ican production and eerve the best Interest ! of American labor and development. Oui appeal , therefore , is not to a false phlloso phy or to vain theorists , but to the massee of the American people , the plain , practical people whom Lincoln loved and trusted anil whom the republican party has always faith fully striven to serve. "The platform adopted by the republican national convention has received my cartful consideration and has my unqualified ap proval. U la a matter of gratification to me AS I am sure It must be to you. and to re publicans everywhere , and to nil our people that the expressions of Its declaration ol principles are so direct , clear and emphatic They arc too nlaln and positive to leave an ) chance for doubt or Question as to theli purport and meaning. Dut you will not ex pcct me to discuss Its provisions at length 01 In any detail at this time. It will , how ever , bo my duty and pleasure at some future day to make to you. ami through yoi to the great party you represent , a mor < foimal acceptance of the nomination ten dcred me. No one could bo more profound ! ) grateful than I for the. manifestations o ; public confidence of which you have elo qurntly spoken. "It shall be my aim to attest this appro elation by an unsparing devotion to what 1 esteem the best Interests of the people am In this work I ask the counsel and suppori of you , gentlemen and of every other frlem of the country. "The generous expressions with whicl you , sir , convey the official notice of raj nomination are highly appreciated and ai fully reciprocated , and I thank you am your associates of the notification commit tee and the great party and convention ai whose Instance you come , for the high anc exceptional distinction bestowed upon me.

The leaders of the democratic silver forces In the various states are gathering for the meeting which will be held In the Sherman house In this city tomorrow under the auspices of the bi metallic national committee. The meeting Is not to be of as general a character as has been supposed. It will bo composed In a large measure of representatives of the bi metallic committee , which was organized In Washington last August , and there will also be present other leading silver demo crats , to whom Invitations have been espe cially extended. The following Is a partial list of those cxijectcd : Alabama , John W. Tomllnson ; Arkansas , Carroll Armstrong ; California , Thomas J. Clunle ; Colorado , C. S. Thomas ; Florida , Frank G.

Casey Young , Tennessee ; ex-Speaker Charles F. Crisp , Georgia , end Major T. 0. Towlcs , Missouri. Commencing tomorrow , meetings will probably be held dally until the beginning of the convention , and , possibly , while the convention continues. If there appears to be occasion for them. The general purpose of the meetings Is to exercise a supervisory care over the Interests of the silver cause In the democratic convention. The conference was fiist decided upon two months ago , when the silver people \v-re not so sure of being able to control the con vention as they now are , and when they considered It possible that It would be necessary for the protection of th-'lr Inter ests to keep an oy < upon the prooecdlnps of the national democratic committee. U was considered important at that time that the silver people should have R'U'h a pel * feet understanding that there would be no doubtful moves In the convention or rise- where. Now they profess to feel so sure of their ground that they uo not longer feel the necessity for such caution. Among the mattes to which Miey ! ' ) propose to give their attention are he contests for scats In the convention , made by silver men and the selection of a temporary chairman of the convention , and , possibly , later to the preparation of a platform , and. If ii'.cess.iry. the selection of candidates. TOWLES TAKES THE GLORY. Major T. O. Towlcs of Missouri , who Is secretary of the national bimetallic com mittee , was among the arrivals todiy. ! n conversation , he said that probably t'ap first work of the committee will be 'he appointment of a subcommittee to confer with the national democraticoommiuco with the view of securing harmonious ac tion In the convention"Our soelotv. " tald .Major Towles , referring to the bimetallic organization , "has done much of the work which has resulted In securing a majority for silver In the convention , and we want to make sure that the cause U protected In the convention. Whatever the predellctlons of the national committee , I suppose they will show no disposition to deprive the sliver majority of the convention of its right to name the temporary chairman , and to exercise other rights belonging to the majority , but If such a disposition should be manifested , U would be resented , and the silver men would undoubtedly name a can didate of their own for presiding officer. Furthermore , they would elect him. To pre vent such a clash as this , or a clash upon any other point , It will be necessary that our organization should have an under standing with the national committee. " Major Towles has a high Idea of the work which has been performed by the bimetallic committee. "We have done what has never before been done In the history of the country , " he said today. "Wo have re organized the party within the party on an economic question. Heretofore , when a number of men have found themselves dif fering radically from the leaders of their party on questions of principle , they have found It necessary to separate from the parent organization and to organize a new party. We have revolutionized the demo cratic party on the question of the currency and are still In the ranks. That I consider an achievement worthy of note. " Mr. Towles thinks that when the test comes the silver men will bo found to have the ncccesary two-third i to nominate a pres idential candidate. The bimetallic conimlt- tee has from the fini studiously eliminated the question of candidates from Its consid eration , but they will take the matter In hand later If It appears necessary to secure the nomination of a desirable man. SENATOR COCKRELL'S VIEWS. Senator Cockrell of Missouri was among today's arrivals. He Is a delegate to the na tional democratic convention , and Is here for the purpose of attending the democratic sil ver conference. "We shall nominate a straight silver man on an unequivocal silver declaration In the platform , " he said , when asked for an ex pression of his views. "I am , of course , for Mr. Hland , " he continued , "and our delegation Is Instructed for him , hut If we cannot get him we shall get some other man , who is sound on the currency question , and Missouri will support him at the polls. Mr. Dland Is a safe , practical man , and , If elected , would be entirely reliable as a president. There can be no doubts on that score. I have not , however , devoted myself EO much to finding presidential material as I have to making sure of a silver majorly ! In the convention. That assured , we shall have but little difficulty In finding an avail able man for president. " The senator thinks the financial question will be raado the paramount Issue In the platform , and that there will be a square declaration for the mintage of silver on terms of equality with gold at the ratio of 1C to 1. ami without awaiting tbo cooperation ation of other nations. Ho laughs at Sir. Whitney's suggestion qf n compromise , and says It will not bo entertained. Ho does not believe an unequivocal silver plank will drive many eastern men out of the party and argues that , on the contrary , it will bring many votes to the party that cannot be caught In any other way. " \Ve shall gain Immensely In the west , " he said , "and we shall not lose In the east. The people have not yet come to a full realization of the strength of the silver movement. It will sweep the country at the polls as It had swept the democratic party at the primaries. " Senator Cockrell docs not consider that tlii'ro Is any danger of a bolt by the New York or other eastern delegates. HARRIS IN HJCJH FEATHER. Senator Harris , who , by virtue of hU po sition as chairman of the national demo cratic committee will preside over the con ference , arrived Knight , and took quarters at the Sherman house. The Initial meeting of the series will bo called to order by him at noon tomorrow. The mccdnRs will not be open to the public. Senator Jones of Arkansas , who will be a prominent figure In these meetings , confirmed th statement of Secretary Towles that the Unit work of the conference would be to confer with the sub committee of the democratic committee as to the selection of a temporary chairman and as to contests , If necessary. He said there was uo apprehension that the national committee would not Ift : disposed to deal fairly with the silver majority , but that H had been thought best to have on under standing Senator Jones said nlpo that the question of n temporary chairman had not been cnnvasBcd , and he had no Idea who would be selected for the position. Ho also stated that he had doubted whether , under ( ho existing circumstances , the contests which had been threatened from Texas , Col orado and Nebraska would materialize , now that It was so evident that the silver men would have an unquestioned majority. "They may have thought that they could gain some thing In case the convention should be close , by preventing the representation of these states on the committee on creden tials , but the silver majority Is now so pat ent to all that they must have surrendered this Idea , If they ever entertained It. Mr. Jones says that so far as he has heard from the silver delegates , they practically agree upon the main features of the platform. The Idea Is to give first place to the financial plank , and to make alt other questions , In cluding the tariff , subservient to this. Asked what Influence he' expected Mr. Whitney's coming to Chicago to have upon the convention , the senator replied : "None whatever. It will have no more effect than would a very fine spray on a duck's back. The people have made up their minds as to what they want , and the delegates they have sent here will be hero to do their bid ding , and no amount of Influence will change their purpose or turn the course of events. " "I see. " continued the senator , "that it Is suggested that business influence can be brought to bear to change the votes of south ern delegates. Never was there a greater mistake. We of the south feel that we have already been ground to powder , and no amount of pulverizing will-affect us. Mr. Whitney will bo treated courteously , but this Is not going to bo Mr. Whitney's con vention. " AVnrUliip ; for Senator Teller. CHICAGO , June 29.-J-Senators Dubols of Idaho and Pettlgrew of South Dakota reached the city today , as did Congressman Shafroth of Colorado. They are supposed to be here for the purpose of promoting Senator Tel ler's Interest In the democratic natloial con vention , though they do not openly avow that such la thulr purpose. Senator Duboli , declined to ray more than ttat be was hope ful that the democrats would nominate a man for president upon whom the silver forces , whether democratic , republican or populist , could combine and Insure"'his election.

( Spcclnl Tele gram. ) Ex-Governor Boles returned this afternoon from his Grumly county farm , where ho went Immediately on his return from Illinois. When asked If ho Intended going to Chicago KOOII ho replied that ho had not determined whether he would at tend the convention or not. "At any rate , " ho said , "I do not know of any reason which should call me to Chicago this week. " He further stated that ho had made no ar rangements for going to Chicago at any time during the convention. As to what were his plans for his campaign , he did not care to say anything. Ho said that ho had been out on his farm for several days and on tils return to the city had found a large number of letters and telegrams awaiting him , but ho had not had time to look the situation over and knew nothing In regard to the fight , except what he had read In the papers. This evening Mr. Holes met Judge Van Wogenen , who was on his way to Chicago , and accompanied him to Manchester. Judge Van Wagcnon Is Boles alternate as dclc- Rate-at-large and Is also In charge of the Holes bureau In Chicago. Neither party would talk when questioned In regard to the situation , but Mr. Doles said that the object of their meeting was to talk matters over and decide what was best to do at Chicago. INVITED TO ANSWER WHITNEY. During Governor Doles' absence In Grimily county the Interview with Mr. Whitney was published and on his return his attention was called to a telegram from the New York Herald , asking his opinion In regard to the assertions made In It. He wired his reply tonight as follows : "Owing to my absence from home I did not receive yours by wlro until this morn- Ing. Mr. Whitney Is entirely right In his conclusion that there Is no disposition on the part of those who will represent the silver scutlmont of the south and west In the Chicago convention to further discuss the matter at Issue with men whose views are diametrically opposed to their own on the currency question. He Is entirely correct In his conclusion that It Is now too late to ac complish any practical results by a discus sion of the character suggested. Through out the south and west that discussion has been extended and thorough , and the views expressed by Mr. Whitney have been put forward by many men who entertain them , and they have been fully considered and weighed , and after all of this the Judgment of an overwhelming majority of the party In these sections Is evidenced by the class of delegates who have been chosen to rcpre- cnt It In the Chicago convention. Not one of these men can now disregard the known sentiment of the party who selected him without betraying the trust confided to him , and not one of them. In my Judnment , will ever do so. --J'Mr. .Whitney Is .entirely.-wrong.-ln .as suming that free silver democrats are for saking the fundamental principles of democ racy , or that what he terms sound money democrats are defending those principles In their endeavor to commit their party to cold monometallism. TIIINK3 IT A NEW DOCTRINE. "Until the republican party met In St. Louis a few days since there was never a line written In a national platform of either of the great parties that justifies the claim that the one or the other of these parties was committed to that doctrine. Over and over the democratic party In national con vention assembled has put Itself on record In the clearest and most comprehensive lan guage pos'slble to use In favor of bimetal lism , In favor of the restoration of stiver to Its place In our financial system as stand ard iroucr. and never for a moment In the congress of the United States hna a majority or anything like a majority of the repre sentatives of that party wavered in Its ! votlon to the principle so clearly enunciated In the rarty platforms. To assume now that adherence to that principle Is abandon ment of an established doctrine of the par.y Is to defy history and Ignore the most plainly written of all its declarations of policy. "It Is useless to claim that a tender of the good offices of the party to secure an International agreement for the free coin age of silver Is the fulfillment of Its pledges so often made In this respect. To a sincere believer In bimetallism for the United States , an offer of this character Is HttKi , if anything , less than an unqualified violation of a sacred pledge by a great political or ganization. If this Is all that Mr. Whitney and those who think with him can offer , It will be vastly better that they offer noth ing. TALKS ABOUT ABDICATION. "When Mr. Whitney says the mainte nance of our present gold standard Is cs- scnt'.al ' to the preservation of our national credit and redemption of bur public pledges he Ignores a great truth of which ho can not bo Ignorant. He knows there Is not a Blnglo obligation of this nation outstanding today that by Its terms Is payable In gold alone , and he knows that right upon the face of the great bulk of the bonds of the government it Is written In substance that they are pajwlo In coin of the United States of the standard weight and fineness of Its coin , beforj silver wis demone tized , and that therefore by their own ex press terms they are payable In our pres ent silver dollars If the government elects to so pay them. "It Is since the most of those obligations were Issued that sliver has been demone tized , whereby If they arc to bo paid In gold alone their value has been doubled and the burden of the great Industrial classes , who must provide for their pay ment , has been Increased two-fold. To talk about a violation of national honor when no party In the nation has ever suggested its failure In the least dcgreo to meet every obligation It has assumed according to the strict letter of the contract It made , has , to say the least , a Etrango sound to those who heard tbo universal cry of dis tress , occasioned , as they believe , by doub ling the purchasing power of money and cutting In twain the market price of the products of labor. If to undo what law has done to add to the burdens of the tollIng - Ing millions of this nation and double the fortunes of the rich within It Is to disrupt the democratic party , disruption must come. The majority of the party threatens no one , and If those who compose that majorIty - Ity can avoid It , the people may bo assured they will submit to no wrong such as the permanent establishment of a single gold standard would Impose upon the great mass of the people of this nation.

Pa. , June : e ex citement nt the Twin shaft g Htston , where nearly 100 miners arc cntrcfcV , cither dead or alive , continues today. At the mouth of the shaftl wives and children of the cn there are hundreds of persons , of I'lttston alone , but visitors frjlngston , Seranton and Wllkcsborre. ThegrTcf of the stricken families Is Intense. Wires and children , many of whom have not left the mouth of the shaft since the terrible acci dent , stand near the opening to the death chamber and urge the rescuers to greater efforts. The situation Is almost the same as re ported last night. I'rnctlc.illy nothing has been accomplished toward the recovery of the men. There Is scarcely an old miner about the opening of the mine who docs not believe the men are all dead. The rescuing party which went Into the mine at 1 o'clock came out of the shaft nt 7 o'clock. The foreman reports that the tim bering In the mine Is going on as rapidly as possibly , lie said the work was necessarily slow owing to the danger of falling rocks which hnvo been loosened by the terrible explosion. It Is hardly possible that actual digging will begin before late this after noon. The suggestions advanced as to the ' probable time the men would be reached are mere guesswork , as all depends upon whether the slope Is completely choked up with debris or not. If not , the rescuers may pea- ! slbly be able to reach the men within th ? | next twenty-four hours ; perhaps It may lifi 1 two or three days. This rescuing party Is 2.000 feet from where the cave-In occurred. The gas continues to accumulate and thereof roof , which was weakened by the explosion , Is In danger of falling at any moment. The men came out of the shaft this morn ing bearing the marks of anxiety and hard labor. One of them said : "I am glad I am out of that hole. I would like very much to sec the men rescued alive , but I tell you wo who are engaged in the work of rescuing are carrying our lives In our hands. Why , we had hardly begun work this morning when a big squeeze came on. 1 and two laborers were putting up u prop about six Inches too short. 1 f-ent n laborer for a 'cap , ' but before he returned the roof came down and met the prop. So great was the pressure that the heavy prop was snapped off as though It were a match. For tunately we succeeded In getting away be fore the root came down any further. So you can readily see what chances we are taking. " Bctoro any attempt can be made to clear this part of the slope again It will be neces sary to do extra propping and timbering. This will consume a great deal of time. A few of the more hopeful who believed there might be n possibility of the entombed men being alive now surrender , and no one can now bo found willing to admit that there Is any life underground. Hope of finding the men alive and unin jured by the old miners was abandoned last night because they knew the ventilation was bad , and that even If the men had es caped the fall they could not live twenty minutes In such an atmosphere. Others , however , recalled the Sugar Notch disaster of 1876 , In which live men were rescued from a breast In the mine after they were Imprisoned for flve days. But the fact was overlooked thct the breast In which they were was free from any blockade and In a direct line with the main current of air. This was the most remarkable case In the annals of the anthracite coal region , and may not be repeated again for a century. The rescuers In the mine this afternoon encountered a new dlniculty. Water is "rJ&urln'K "Into 'the slope and threatens to drive out t.hc men at work. Superintendent Law thinks It Is water from Ihc surface and that It will soon cease to flow Into the mine. Others think the water comes from the Susquchauna river , which Is near by. If It is river water the whole mine will be flooded In a iihort time and It will be months before the bodies can be reached. A newspaper artist secured permission from Superintendent Law to go down Into the mine this morning and make sketches , but Mine Inspector McDonald protested and saltl he would allow no man to enter the mine who was not a practical miner. "There are enough lives lost now , " ho continued , "and there is no use in increasing the num ber. " One of the artists offered to donate $100 to the relief fund if allowed to go down Iho shaft , but the offer was refused. t m COM ) AVATEK ICILLS TIIUI1I3 IM3OIM.I3.

CANDIDATES ANXIOUSLY ON THE HUSTLE All Admit thnl the Sltiiiitlini In Coin- lilev ami Hint Hie Cliolee of din oi-nnr li tliu Solution. LINCOLN , Juno IS. ( Special. ) The re publican state convention will assemble at 10 o'clock n. m. Wednesday In the Lans- ng theater , which has been handsome ! ) * lecorated. Many of the smaller delegation * Have been assigned to the twenty boxes and , loges , and the seating arrangement for the rest Is most excellent. The accommoda tions for the press of the state are ample , md the whole management of the affair ias been In good hands throughout. Nearly all of the candidates arc already on the ground. Many of them have opened double icadqunrters , at the Llndell and the Capital. Quite a number of delegates are sprinkled around among tin- different hotel * , but the j\K \ push Is expected to arrive tomorrow. Everybody admits that the situation ls com plex and that all estimates are guess work. With the nomination of governor made , a rapid clarification of the political atmos- ihcre Is expected , livery candidate on the ground freely admits that the governorship Is the key to the situation. The seventy- cm ) McClny delegates appeared today with : ho McCIay badges on. Aside from poll- Lies alt business Is practically suspended In the city. Of course there Is the usual pulling , haili ng and buttonholing incidental to ante- convention times , Mill there Is a decided lack of definite , or even confident assertion. All the available trace In the hotels la utilized for the purpose of suspending cards announrlng that such and such candidate lias established his ( icai'qtiartors in a cer tain room , easy of access and comfortable tor smoking purposes. Even Secretary of State Piper , who has no visible opposition , lias engaged a couple of rooms for the use of his homo and all other friendly delegates , and has the Inevitable cigar on tap. Con gressman Mclklejohn has opened guberna torial headquarters at the Lincoln , Capital and Ltudcll , and IB thus prepared to catch delegates going and coming. He says that In the last seven weeks he has visited nearly every suction of the state. Ho adds that , up to date , he has formed no offciiHlvu or defensive alliance with any other candi date. Indications are that all the other candidates are In the same position. MAKING UP COMUINATIONS. Tonight all the candidates are on the giound and fully one-fourth of thedelegates. . There is a great deal of pulling and haul- Inn and a rather promiscuous exchange of pledges for candidates on the first ballot. These pledges may and may not be kept , anil It is the general suspicion of the promises that so greatly adds to the present chaotlo condition. Every wire possible Is being In dustriously worked to win over unpledged delegates and to make tie-ups with such as are open for a trade. There Is a strong undercurrent running against Attorney General Churchill. The active representatives of the mutual Insur ance companies arc here In strong force and it is the general impression that farmer dele gates will slaughter Churchill In the con vention on account of his subserviency to the old line companies. On the other hand , the representatives of the old liners are doing everything in their power to secure pledges for him from delegates. Thcic are but few of the Douglas county delegation present. Among them are John Dialer. II. L. Living stone , Senator Dick Smith , Sam MacLeod and Churchill's side partner , G. W. Covell. County Judge Irving Uaxter Is making an effort to promote his boom for the north of the Platte side of the supreme judgcshlp. There Is at the present time no reason to change the figures published In The Heo this morning regarding the comparative btrength of gubernatorial candidates. Ex-Speaker C. L. Richards of Hebron an nounces tonight that he Is out of the race for the gubernatorial nomination , but stlrctly In It for the lieutenant governorship. This Is supposed to be a deal In the Interest of Melklejohn. On the other hand , It U rumored that the Ecklc-s delegates have come out strongly for MacColl and propose ) to stand by the man from Lexington to the finish. LIST OF THE DELEGATES.
