POSITION OF CANDIDATES UNCHANGED

f State Central
Committee. J .
SrRINGFIELD, 111., June 16 Whether
or Dot the Kansas City platform la to be
reaffirmed and who will be tbe chairman
of the next state central committee are
ho only cruses of possible friction at the
democratic convention which meets tomor
row end It Is not likely that either will
bring about much of a fight.
Tbe platform has already been built In
(he rough, but will not be finished beforo
tomorrow morning. A committee of party
leaders, headed by Samuel Alschuler, who
is to be chairman of the committee on
resolutions, met to declare the principles
tonight and remained in session until a
late hour. There are many predictions
that the Kansas City platform will be
Ignored, and nearly as many that It will
be touched upon. The chances are, how
ever, that the Kansas City declaration and
With It the silver Issue, will be passed
over In silence. The advocates of their
recognition advance as their chief reason
for Insisting upon a plank to that effect
that tbe avowed policy of the party In ,thj
last national campaign should not be
thrown aalde. On the other hand, the op
ponents of reaffirmation Insist that there
la a possibility of a party epllt If the plank
Is Inserted and that the chance of this, la
too great a price to pay for sentiment re
garding Issues that do not enter actively
Into the coming state convention.
Committee Woalil (snore Platform.
The committee having the platform in
charge was tonight In favor of Ignoring
the Kau.as City platform and unless the
late arrivals tomorrow morning should
cauae a decided change In sentiment, It
is not likely that the present aspect of
the platform will be changed. Other
planks will be Inserted declaring In favor
of territorial government In the Philip
pines,. Indorsing the attitude of the national
party leaders on the tariff, declaring against
the Interference of the federal courts In
matters relating to the revenue laws ot
Illinois, declaring against government by
Injunction and favoring, punishment for
violation of an Injunction through Jury
trial, not for the actual violation of the
injunction, but ior tbe commission of the
offense which the injunction seeks to pre
rent. ,
There will also be a plank on Cuban
reciprocity. The balance of the platform
There will also be a plank on Cuban
Will be confined to state Issues.
There was little change today In the
position of the various candidates. Millard
F. Dunlap will be renominated for state
treasurer, and Pickering leads for clerk of
the supreme court. The- nine candidates
for clerk of the appellate court are: John
II. Baker of Moultrie county, Frank Orr of
Mt. Sterling, Cosmo Keller of Jersey
county, Seymour Hurat of Marshall, Ed
ward McConnell of Jacksonville, George W.
Funderburk of Springfield, Henry Bowers
of Plttsfleld. Samuel H. Murdock of Ha
vana and George Robbie of Macoupin
county.
The convention will be called tomorrow
at noon and Lawrence B. Stronger of Lin
coln will be the temporary chairman, and
there, la little doubt that the temporary
Officers will be made permanent. Caucuses
will be held tomorrow morning to elect
the various committeemen.
It Is generally conceded that John P.
Hopkins of Chicago will be chosen chair
man of the state central committee. '

ALTOONA, Pa., June 16. The statement
made by President Patrick Gllday of this
district in an interview at Wllkesbarre yes
terday that little or no soft coal Is being
shipped from this soft coal district to the
anthracite region te not borne out by the
facts. William McPherson, president of a
sub-district in this district, who was In
town today, says that before the strike
was inaugurated the men of this district
were working but four days on an average.
Ever since the strike has been on the men
have been working full time. He eays that
while it Is reasonably certain that the coal
Is being shipped from this district to help
the anthracite operators out, it Is almost
Impossible to locate the shippers. How
ever, a close watch is being kept on the
mines and If It Is ascertained that coal Is
being shipped a strike will at once be de
clared. A meeting of the sub-district
presidents of this district has been called
by President 'Gllday for Wednesday at
Clearfield.
FIRE BOSSES STAY IN PITS
Efforts of Strikers to Bring- Them Out
Are Xot a Success General Strike
Order Not Obeyed.
WILKESBARRE. Ta., June 16. As far
as can be learned the effort of the striker
to bring out the fire bosses and other
bosses today was not as great a success as
was expected by the union. Information as
to the number that refused to go to work
is difficult to be bad, but It Is generally
believed the number was not great. The
miners' leaders say that at least half of the
Ore bosses promised to stop work. In the
absence of reports they say they cannot
at thla time give figures.
Jasper Clark of Toledo, International
president of the Team Drivers' association,
who came here last night, saw President
Mitchell today. Mr. Clark said his union
Is In entire sympathy with the miners and
will do everything possible to help them.
If It were necessary to call out his men to
help the miners be felt sure they would
respond.
There was a general shooting affray near
the William A. colliery of the Lehigh Val
ley Coal company at Dureay shortly after
midnight. In which no one was hurt. There
are conflicting reports as to the nature of
the trouole. Residents of the neighbor
hood said several coal and Iron police left
the colliery after midnight and were at
tacked by a number of men who were lying
In wait. They managed to board a car for
Plttston, It Is said, without being Injured.
All this was denied at the office of the
Lehigh Valley Coal company. Tha officials
of tbe company said a number of Italians
were having a celebration and that they
began firing revolvers In the air. They
were not near the colliery. Four coal and
iron police cf the company were aeen at
the offices today. They said they came Into
the city to visit their families and get
clothes. They deny they were attacked.
Fire Boaaes Quit at Scranton.
8CRANTON, Pa., June 16. Nearly 100
fire bosses in the mines In the Lackawanna
region refused to make the usual Inspec
tions today In compliance with an order
from strikers' headquarters, asking tbem to
quit and thus assist the atrlkers In winning
their fight. This la claimed to be more than
half the force of these workmen in this
region, and the result cannot be otherwise
tban disastrous to the mining property, for
with the accumulation of gas, pump-runners
cannot keep at work. There Is also
the danger of explosions, which only tbe
greatest precaution can provide against.
Those fire bosses who did not quit today
are confidently expected to do ao tomorrow.
Tbe companies wlU find it Impossible to
fill tbe places of these men, as It requires
much experience to become expert In this
work.
Robinson, the Delaware & Hudson deputy,
who was shot through the right lung at
blyphsnt late Saturday night by aome un
known person, alleged to be a striker, Is
still alive, with the chances against him.
The company has offered 11.000 reward for
the arrest and conviction of his assailant.
Warren, O., June 16. Two hundred em

Strikers Return, to Work.
BRAMWELL. W. Va.. June 16. Several
hundred more strikers returned to work
today In the Flat Top and Tug river coal
fields, probably halt the number who struck
a week ago having now returned to work.
The remainder now out are becoming des
perate. This morning probably 100 of tha
strikers, heavily armed, left Simmons,
where there are three collieries, and started
on a march to Pocahontas. They allege that
they will stop all work there. Many be
lieve that troops will soon be necessary in
this field, as serious trouble Is predicted.
SHAMOKIN. Pa-. June 16. In response
to the call issued by the United Mine
Workers to the fire bosses for a general

that 60 per eent of the bosses employed In
thla district quit work today. Operators
claim that not mors tban I per cent of the
bosses went bom.

STUBBORN FIGHT IN FOURTH
Republican Congressional Convention Settles
Down for Long Siege.
SEVEN CANDIDATES ARE IN THE FIELD
Fifty Ballots Taken Without Any
Break or Any One of the Aspl
ts Having- a Com
manding; Lead.
BEATRICE. Neb.. June 16. (Special
Telegram.) When the convention met here
this evening to nominate the republican
candidate for congress In the Fourth dis
trict all Indications pointed to a stubborn
contest, tbe outcome of which no one
ventured to predict. The delegates bad
gathered In full force during the day, with
a numerous reinforcement of spectators
and supporters of the different candidates.
A large delegation from Falrbury, re
splendent under red, white and blue um
brellas and headed by a braes band, all
wearing Hlnshaw badges, made the most
striking showing, although other candi
dates were well represented In the lobby
and headquarters. With seven candidates
In tbe field from eleven counties In tho
district, no one seemed to have much lead
over the other.
Each of the candidates could count on
hie own county and all the others promised
to divide. The most positive strength was
conceded to Sloan, but this made blm tha
object ot the combined attack from .all
others. The best observers expected the
battle to sift down eventually to a fight
of Sloan against the field.
The convention organized with E. L. King
of Polk county as chairman, A. B. Chris
tian of York, secretary; T. J. Beckett of
Saunders and J. C. Emery ot Gage, assist
ant secretaries. Oratory was shut off with
out ceremony and an Informal ballot had,

line, 27 3-7; G. W. Post of York, 24; M.
E. ShulU of Gage, 43 3-7; Charles H. Sloan
of Fillmore. 32 3-7.
The delegates then buckled down for a
siege at formal balloting, but with little
variation. In the fourth ballot Saunders,
which bad been giving three votes to each,
showed a friendly disposition to Sloan by
doubling his quota to six and In tbe fifth
gave Hlnshaw six also.
The eighth ballot stood: Aldrich, 22;
Hainer, 21; Hinshaw, 43, Pope, 24; Post,
21; Shultz, 41; Sloan. 38.
The thirtieth ballot resulted: Aldrich,

After Talk with Senator Millard
President Derides to Send Van
Uuaklrk's Name to Senate
for Confirmation.
(.From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, June 16. (Special Tele
gram.) President ltoosevclt will in all
probability pay a visit to Nebraska about
October 1. Senators Dietrich and Millard
had an interview with the president thla
morning in regard to bis forthcoming west
ern tour and urged upon him the very
great Importance of including Nebraska
on his western trip. The president stated
he desired to see Nebraska again and 11
possible the sections of tbe scats which
be bad not heretofore visited. He stated
tiat his Itinerary had been by no meant
completed nor would It be for some time
to come, in view of conditions, but he
.bought favorably of the project of Includ
ing .Nebraska in his Itinerary. The sena
tors were greatly encouraged over tbe
talk they had with the chief executive and
they have no doubt but be will devote ont
day at least to tbe Antelope state.
Senator Dietrich suggested that the prest
denldent reach Omaba on the evening ol
September 30 and deliver1 an address either
In tbe opera house or possibly in a tanl
that may be erected for the purpose. That
early on the morning of October 1 ha leave
Omaha for a ruu on the Union Pacific aa
far aa Kearney stopping at points along
the way and that from Kearney he come
east on the Burlington & Missouri Rivet
to Lincoln, finishing his tour of Nebraska .
at the Nebraska capital with a night ad
dress. This program was submitted to blm
in a tentative manner In order that wben
he comes to make up his Itinerary the
president would have before him the sug
gestions of the two senators aa to what
Uiey believe would meet with enthusiastlo
6upport on the part ot the section the slats
to be visited. The president la receiving
invitations from everywhere and It waa
the desire of the senators from Nebraska
to get their invitations on file at aa early - .
day so Nebraska would not be entirely
shut out when the president comes to make
up his extensive trip into the west and
south.
Talks Over Alliance Land Ofllcc,
After the senators bad presented th
question of Including Nebraska In his tout
of the west Senator Millard remained tot
a few minutes, talking with blm over tht
nomination for the reglsterahip of tba land
office at Alliance. It appears that protesu
against the appointment ot J. R. Van Boa
kirk for register to succeed M. F. Dorlng
ton have been filed at tbe White House
and it was for the purpose of discusalcg
these protest, which are said to have
originated at the instance of Mr. Dorlar '
ton, the president desired to talk wlca
Senator Millard. The Junior senator want
over tbe matter with tbe president and
urged that no attention be paid to the pro
tests. He showed the president a letter
from one of the. leading cltlzeua ot Alliance
and he made so clear a case for Mr. Van
Bosklrk that tbe president at ones wrote a
note to the secretary of tbe interior direct
lng Mr. Van . Bockirk'a name be sent to
him for transmission to the senate. It la
thought Van Bosklrk'a name will go to tba
senate tomorrow.
Compart on Cuban Reciprocity,
Cuban reciprocity baa struck on tbe
rocks. Fourteen senatora last night bald
a secret conference at the home of Senator
Elkins and entered a compact to fight
Cuban reciprocity to the bitter end. It
was agreed at tbe conference that should
the Spooner bill for reciprocity with Cuba
be presented to the senate aa a committee
bill coming from the committee on rela
tione with Cuba then Senator Dietrich la to
offer an amendment to the bill In tba
senate repealing the differential oa refined
sugars and attaching It to the raw product,
with tbe further clause stipulating that
Cuba shall put in operation In tbe Island
our Immigration laws. This, It la argued,
will make a direct Issue and one upon
which tbe beet sugar advocates are willing
to atand. The fight between the contend
ing factions Is growing more bitter daily
and tbe result of last night's conference at
Senator Elkins' bouse, which waa attended
by both the Nebraska aenatora, waa tha
talk of the capital today. The advocates
of reciprocity are bitterly opposed to Sena
tor Dietrich's umendment knocking oft tbe
differential on refined sugar and do not
hesitate to say that If It comes to that
alternative the aubject of help for Cuba
through a reciprocity bill will be abandoned
for the session. Thla, It la believed, la
Just what the beet augar advocates are
playing for.
Another alternative waa being discussed
this afternoon by the opponents to recipro
city, suggesting that the president negotiate
during the summer and fall g reciprocity
treaty with Cuba to be submitted to the
next session of congress. Tha beet augar
men claim for this plan that It will units
the republican party on tbe eve of the -elections
and postpone further talk about
reciprocity until after tbe elections. They
urge further that the treaty would take ths
question out of tbe bands ot the bouse al
together and make It a subject for the
senate to act upon alone. Steps were
taken by the beet augar aenatora lata this
afternoon to bring tbe compromise above
suggested to the attention of tha
reciprocity advocates Immediately, that it
might be freely discussed before tba con
ference of republicans to assemble next
Wednesday, which It Is understood will be
called Immediately after the bill for reci
procity with Cuba Is reported tomorrow
from the committee on relations with Cuba.
Conservative aenatora who were seen to
night, while hopeful something jnay be
dona for Cuba In Its dilemma, are doubtful
whether any Cuban legislation Is enacted
during tbe present session of congress.
