THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1002. 9 MERCER MAY SOLVE MYSTERY Becrscv Concerning Convention Which He ' Alone Con Unravel. ' SOME METHODS THAT MAY BE PURSUED V hktnn rarsaed In the Past and Con- dltlens that Prevail at Preseat la tha Secoad Canirti leaal District. TTie promised return of Congressman .'Mercer next week to raise the Interdict that hi been holding back the call for congressional convention In tbla dlatrlct has atlmulated anew inquiries as to the probable procedure Id the selection of a republican candidate for. congress. The republicans In Are of the six dis tricts of Nebraska hare already made their inomlnatloos, In each case according to the fat-observed custom of a general call for a convention In which delegates are . epportloncd to the respective countlee and chosen by regularly called county convra ; lions. In each of these distrlota the dele I fate were named at the same time as the r delegates to the late republican atate con- Jventlon and the apportionment made. on a plan similar to that adopted by the state committee, namely, of giving each county .'representation according to the vote cast tot the republican nominee at the last ' congressional election. It le noteworthy that In this, the Second ; district, Mr. Mercer s managers, who are in undisputed control of the party machine, because the congressional committee and I Its officers were all named by Mr. Mercer i himself, have not for a moment discussed a convention called In the usual manner. . Their misgiving of the result of such a convention has driven them to their wits' , ends to devise a new scheme by which j they might gain some advantage In the situation that would not accrue to them if they followed the regular precedents. 1, What Mar Be Done. . Talk about a congressional convention to which the delegates should be chosen directly by the voters in the different -wards and precincts throughout the three counties comprising the congresalonal dis trict recalls the fact that two years ago In their similar desperation a device was i formulated in the call Issued by Chairman Blackburn, although rescinded later on as 'sursnce that opposition to Mr. Mercer's nomination for a fifth term bad been choked off. If Mr. Mercer should repeat ' his performance of two years ago he wltl i'have Mr. Blackburn convene himself as a congressional committee and vote himself three or four times by proxy for the old I call, which embodied the following fea tures: ' 1. It provided for a primary election held .Directly under the congressional commit tee In the three oounties of Washington, . Douglas and Sarpy. The congressional com i mil tee, which was Mr. Blackburn, consti tuted Itself the authority to appoint all Uhe Judges and clerks of election, to re eelve the returns, to canvass the vote and , to Issue the credentials to the delegates. S. The primary ballots were to contain ,,the names not only of candidates for dele jgates to the convention, but also of as tplranta for congress. The petitions for del legates were to be prepared in the usual I .way and Sled upon-payment of a fee of $1 - or each name to the treasurer of the com tmlttoe, who was also Mr. Blackburn. As I'plrants for congress could have their J names placed on the official ballot on pe tition signed by 250 republican electors and payment of a filing fee of 1150 Into the hands of Mr. Blackburn. Apportionment of Delegates. S. The apportionment of delegates to the convention was fixed as follows: ' For each ward in the city of Omaha, teo delegates. For the city of Bouth Omaha, sixteen .delegates. For each country precinct la Douglas 'county,' two delegates. ; For Sarpy county, eight delegates. For Washington county, seventeen dele gates. . ( Making a total of 157 delegates, with eventy-nlne constituting the majority necessary to nominate. ' 4. An alternative method of choosing their delegatee was allowed to Washington and Sarpy counties', although denied to Douglas county. . Washington and Barpy counties could choose delegates by convention, or By any outer method adopted by their re spective county committees a discrimina tion in favor of hjbme rule for Washington and Sarpy counties and against Douglas county, explained by the fact that at that time the county committee in Douglas county was suspected of hostility to Mr. Mercer, while his friends controlled the county committees In Washington and .Sarpy counties. ' B. The returns from the primary were to be canvassed by the executive committee f the congressional committee, which was Mr. Blackburn, and In case the expressions of preference for congress showed one candidate to have received a complete ma jority of the vote, that fact waa to be certified to the congressional convention, . which, "after its permanent organization, hould declare the nomination of candi dates receiving a majority at the primary lections, and by formal resolution direct the chairman and secretary to provide the neceasary service sod credentials, aa re quired by law and precedent." Only in case Mr. Blackburn neglected to certify a majority for his candidate for congress was the convention empowered to choose a candidate for itself. Conditions Koiv Pertelninir. If Mr. Mercer and hla commute felt bound by his self-promulgated scheme of two years ago he would, of course, have to recognize the delegates already selected by Washington and Sarpy counties, of which Parpy county's quote are Instructed for Mr. Cornish and against Mr. Mercer. The discovery that be bad lost out In Sarpy county is, however, aald to have convinced Mr. Mercer that the action of the Sarpy and Washington county conventions In ad vance of a congressional call Is Illegal and, therefore, to uphold that contention the old call will bave to be modified, at least to that extent. The congressional committee, as ap pointed by Mr. Mercer two years ago, con sisted of nine members, as follows: T. W. Blackburn of Omaha, chairman; John L. Carson of South Omaha, Lew F. Etter, son of the South Omaha postmaster; George Sabine of Omaha, who holds a po sition through Mr. Mercer In the congres sional library at Washington; D. H. Klrschner, the postmaster at Bennington; West Cook, the postmaster at Blair; J. R. Wllaon, county Judge at rapilllon; C. B. Keyes of Sarpy county and Fred Clarldge of Blair. One or two of these places have become vacant by removal or resignation and Mr. Blackburn has taken it upon him self to All the vacancies by appointment, but Just who his appointees are will prob ably be disclosed only when the committee meets, or when their proxies turn up out of Mr. Blackburn's pocket. Until that time, however, the conditions of the congressional contest lu this district cannot be definitely known. MULLEN AT HIS NEW POST Arrives at Jonean and Talks of the Agricultural Resources of Alaska. The Dally Record-Miner of Juneau, Alaska, of June 20, notes the arrival In that city of P. M. Mullen, receiver of the United States land office, and adds: Mr. Mullen Is familiar with all Interior Alnaka and knows its wants and needs and will make an excellent officer, lie Is en thusiastic over the outlook for that great country as a mining and agricultural dis trict and says that a railroad to the In terior will hasten Its development and thereby prove It to be one of the richest countries in the world. Mr. Mullen tin been all along the Yukon and knows whereof he speaks. He saye that at Holy Cross Mission, on the Yukon, he caw cab baae. turniDS. narsnlDS and other vegeta bles growing that would take the blue ribbon at a Kansas agricultural fair. The paper then quotes Mr. Mullen as saying: "The one trouble in making the people believe that this will be a great agricultural country Is the fact that sea sons are so short, but they do not stop to think that today the sun will shine for twenty-three hours at Rampart; in fact, there is almost constant sunshine from May 1 to September- 1, and vegetation grows and ripens so quickly that the sea son is gone before one can realise it."

The evening of the Fourth found the man ager of one of the local messenger compan ies in a cold sweat and a high temper. Eight of his boys had not been near the office dur lng the day. j . The Fourth Is a very busy day with the meseenger companies, because during the afternoon a great many people order loe cream brought to their houses and in the parched evening a great many other people order something else brought out. When the rush came the manager found himself short-handed, for at various previous hours he had received word from eight of the lit' tie rough riders that they had been at tacked by sudden Illness in various forms and were totally Incapacitated.

' Dulany, who was watching the Sllentlum conteets, was wounded in the face by the accidental discharge of a blank cartridge. Someone In the crowd was placing the cartridge In the revolver and it was discharged, the powder eeverely burning Mr. Dulany In the face and about the eyes. His injuries are not considered dangerous. tow much he can annoy other people. I used to suppose that only boys did this, but this morning when I came down on a Farnam car the first man I saw was ths manager for a Howard street firm of soms pretension. Hs was thumping the pave ment with a loaded toy cane every time ths car stopped. A clerk in a dry goods store eached out of the window and shot six times with a revolver. At Sixteenth street florist got aboard and he had a cap pistol concealed in a bunch ot flowers. Finally an undertaker got on and I'll be hanged It he didn't- have a pocketful of little tor pedoes to throw at everything he Cared. That waa the limit I got off the car. 'In Seattle they have tabooed everything worse than an ordinary firecracker and la St. Louts they put legal muscles on re volvers.

The second section, which was really the same train returned from Waterloo for another trip, left at 2 p. m. Thus the first pic nickers, except a few who went on a reg ular train early In the morning, did not reach Waterloo until after noon and the second load until after t o'clock.

Reaelame Saata Fa a Snrprlse to Friends' Here. fros Yesterday's press report telling of the resignation of C. F. Ressigue from the posi tion of general superintendent of the east era division of the Atchison, Topeka ft Santa Fe caused more than ordlnsry In terest among local railroad men. Mr. Res s'gue was at one time superintendent ot the Nebraska division, of the Union Pa clflc, with headquarters in Omaha. This was about twelve, years ago and his incum bency covered a period of a year or two. Before and after coming to Omaha Mr. Resslgue's railroad carser was familiar to officials In this city. He still has many friends here, all of whom expressed sur prise when they lesrned of his resigna tion, which, according to his statement In yesterday's papers, "was requested by General Manager Mudge" of the Santa Fe. The 'fact of Mr. Resslgue's excellence as a railroad man serves to Increase the sur prise in this connection. Mr. Ressigue was with the Burlington at two different times. He was secretary to T. J.
