and one with It. The Ninth ward's sixteen
delegates voted, with the chair.
Munro called attention to the omission
of the name of two Moorea delegatea and
OTey were" allowed to 'vote. Then Munro
demanded "a poll of the ' Fifth ' ward be
(aused Informed 'that one man who had
responded didn't belong ' there, '
"The Fifth ward (delegatlon Is satisfied
with its count,' so you will have to be,"
answered' the "chairman. And the antl
crbwd 'cheered the1 Impertinence.'
'Flriilly.' the vote having been ' totaled,
the chair announced his ' ruling ' was not
sustained, the vote standing 72 agalnat and
?f for. this showed the superior strength
of the Moores men even after losing De
serter Undquest, and the cheering con
tinned two minutes. ; x
t. k j Cowall Chosen Chalriuaa.
Tha election of a chairman having been
Anally'1 reached, the '-poll was taken by
wards on motion of Cornish and the line-up
remained as before, the Moores wards
Votfngfor Cowell and the' antta for -Breck-enrMge.
At .the-Instigation of Westberg,
Llndquest tried to make a show, of courage
and, half rising In his seat, demanded a
poll of the Eighth ward. He waa hissed
Into his nest again, hut the Eighth ward
shouted that It preferred to be considered
as voting only:, sixteen votes for- Cowell
and one for Breckenrldge,' so long ha that
one happened to bey "a knave, 6t the IJnd
quest sort." It was' accommodated in Its
desire. "'
- Hejring then retired with the apnounce
ment, that he took some pleasure .In .Intro
duplqg Mr- Cowel) as chairman..' The lat
ter responded briefly, giving his a'sshrancs
of a desire to be perfectly lair 'and of a
hope that th preceedlngs - might be har
monious. 'V?. . ' '-
" Oa1 motion of Munro H.' B. Boyles was

Wkts . tha BlaT Row Started.
.The reading of the cat) was dispensed
.with :and the nomination of a mayor un
dertaken. Again there was ' trouble. In
(he Second ward' Moores delegation was
one 'member," Ferdinand Raarmann, who
some time ago, because of personal friend
ship had made kindly expression concern
ing Bingham.. The anls had been' making
strenuous efforts to persuade him to aban
don the Moores Interests. Ralph Brecken
rldge tried, or seemed to be trying, to get
to Haarmannf and Sam 'Morris of that dele-:
gatio'nl interfered to prevent. The' result
, was i'an -'altercation. 'wHlch ended ,ln
policemen seising Breckenrldge and"
hustling hint, away from the Second ward
era' quarters and back tc tils own delega
tion's place. V - i:
When" the 'Ninth, ward was- Veached
Chartes-'.A? Ooss, who headed Its delegattota,
instead of announcing Its vote, asked that
'the' Second wsrd 'delegation be polled, As
serting that there might have been' some
misunderstanding about the ballot then In
progress being a-formal ballot. Chairman
-Cowell iemtnded.',Qoss of th answer of
Chairman-Herring In the case of the "re-
' quest of Munro for a polling of the Fifth
ward. Herring bad said: "The Fifth ward
delegation Is satisfied with Us vote; you
must also be.". 'Cowell ruled that as the
Herring ruling had stood -In that Instance,
It must stand In this one. Ooss, being
thus overruled and formally requested to
cast the vote of the Ninth ward, replied:
"the Ninth" ward will bass, and I ask the
verification of -the vots of each ward."
' Conlda't Blo Cowell.
When Goes said "the Ninth ward will
pass," he took the Initial step In the dis
ruption of the convention, tor Chairman
Cowell, ryllng that. the Ninth want had had
opportunity . to. expreas its preference,
started to call upon the secretary to read
the result of the-ballot.. The antla per
ceiving that Moorea' nomination was In
stable, unless they could get Haarmon to
change his vote sprang onto the. floor, led
by Hugh Meyer, John T. Cath
ers ; and ; Bs Q.. Burbank, clamoring
for a ' polling of the Second ward
delegation. Chairman Cowell Is Scotch.
He had made a ruling, based upon the very
ruling of Herring s that the antla had so
loudly cheered, and h wouldn't consent to
be bluffed Into backing down. Hi voice
never rose above a strosg conversational
tone and his cou'rteousness never ceased
but to the shouts of Cathera and Burbank
that hla ruling, If persisted In, would dls
rupt the convention be returned only an
assursnc that he would recognise no one
until order had been-restored. .
"But will you allow that man In the
Second ward delegation to vole lndl
virtually?" Burbank ahouted up at him a
much as a dozen times from a position di
rectly in front of the chairman and within
arm's reach of bla feet. But the same
courteous IpvltaUoa to return to his. seat
and let the proceedings" be regular, was the
only respops t'be, anti-'ahouter waa given
ao long as hs stayed there.
After a prolonged delay caused solely by
the disorderly conduct of the antla, police
men, alx In number. Including three ser
geants, cleared the aisles, and Burbank
having been pushed bark to his seat, hurled
his threat: "This Is a republican convention.-
-By your proposed course you are driv
ing from it' a large and powerful faction." '
Th unaffrighted chairman calmly an
nounced: "The Ninth ward had opportunity
to cast Its vote. The secretary will an
nounce the result of the ballot."
Reaalt at th Ballot.
The ballot stood: First wsrd, ten for
Moors; Second ward, fourteen for Moorea;
Third ward, twelve 'for ' Moores; Fourth
wsrd, twenty for Moorei; Fifth ward, thir
teen for (founders (later changed during the
excitement to Bingham); 81 nth ward,
twenty-three for1 Karr and'three for Saun
ders (changed by Burbank to twenty-six
for Bingham without the formality of con
sulting the rest of the delegation); Seventh
ward, eight for Benson and seven for Bing
ham; Eighth ward, sixteen for Moores and
one for Bingham. The changes having been
made when the house was In an uproar
and the chnlrman recognising no one, the
tardy changea were not accredited and the
secretary announced the ballot aa: Moores,
72; Karr,' 23; Saunders, 16; Bingham, 8;
Benson, 8.
Before the secretary had finished read
ing the result, Burbank and Westberg led
their cohorts down the center aisles and
out of the building, jeers and hisses follow
ing them as they went. Llndquest had
special body guard. This was at 8:39 and
a minute later,' or. eighty minutea. after the
convention opened-,- Mayor Moorea was de
clared renominated, and the hisses changed
to cheers.
Mayor Moore Speak.
. Mayor Moores, who had come to the hall
early and had been cheered by the gal
leries every time he showed himself,
mounted to the stage and was given a
salute that was positively thunderous In
Its volume. He said: "I thank you for
the honor conferred by this nomination.
I have made an honest and a square fight.
(Shouts of "You bet you have!") I have
succeeded In getting seventy-two honest
votes despite corporation influence and de
spite .the-ir lsst desperate Investment In a
Judas. Despite, too, the work of that arch
traitor, W. J. Broatch, and all the influ
ences he could control by Intimidation. I
am sorry that some In this convention
have walked out, but there was not a one
of .them who would have voted for me
May 5, anyhow. (Shouts of "That's so,"
and "We know It, but you'll get votes
enough, anyhow.") .-I am -going -to make
the fight of my life for you.-and when the
votes are counted next May wo will be
found to have won."
After the mayor's speech COrqlsh moved
fifteen-minute recess, saying: "We
must be careful to do right in this serious
situation. We are agent- of .the people
and we must be careful to do their will.
A recess will give opportunity for consultation-
as to the best course."'-
During the recess there was active cam
paigning and' When' the convention recon
vened at 4:10 all was harmony. Charles
Morgan was made one of the assistant
secretaries to replace John Steele, who
had trailed the bolters.
Completing City Ticket.
' To nominate a candidate for city treas
urer the wards were polled and all went to
A. H. Hennlnge. , The Fifth, Sixth and Sev
enth had bolted and were passed aa not
voting, but when the Ninth was reached a
cheer went up for H. W. Cowduroy of that
delegation, who had declined to abandon
his party and had remained 'in the ball. He
cast the full delegation vote for Henning,
making the latter's total 89.' Harry Couns
man;and Sam Scott were appointed a com
mittee to escort Mr. Hennlnge to the hall.
.For city comptroller,. W.- J. Hunter of
the Sixth ward received all except three
ballots given Theodore Olsen of the Seventh
ward by the First-warders. -When a sec
ond ballot was started Cornish, aa a sup
porter of Olsen, moved It be made unani
mous for Hunter, and that gentleman made
his maiden speech of the campaign to a
crowd that cheered from, the time he came
forward to .the, time. h,e retired -after a
neat speech of acceptance.
'For city clerk the balloting started with
the First ward going solidly for W. H. El
bourn of the Sixth ward antl faction. Corn
ish spoke in- praise of the -candidate's pre
vious service. Every ward -followed suit,
In accepting the .nomination Elbourn said:
."Yesterday I fought Moores, but-1 Said then
that jf he mastered the situation he cer
tainly deserved every republican vote, and
I say the same now." '.'' -
Second Ward Champion.
- - , -,'-.-.
Fred Brunlng, a giant In the Second ward,
was given the nomination for tax commis
sioner by acclamation and in his .speech of
thanks promised a republican majority of
600 In the election next month. -
W. J. Connell of the Fourth ward had no
opposition for' the nomination for city at
torney and was given the place by accla
mation, but -his friends could not keep
silent. The venerable Major Johu B. Furay
and E. J. Cornish, who was a deputy under
Connell' long ago, and- tr. ' Anglln of Cou
ncil's ward, . both spoke high praises and
the crowd cheered vociferously. .
At this point Mr. Hennlngs, all smiles,
arrived and going to the platform said:
"Gentlemen of the republican city conven
tion, I beleve In majority rule,. For the
sake of harmony In our party and the suc
cess of our ticket at the polls May 6, I ac
cept the nomination with thanks." ..
'For building' Inspector' A. Q Wahlstrbm,
a Swede contractor of thefElghth ward, was
presented by Munro of that ward, who
wished the vote made .unanimous. Friends
of union labor were In' doubt about Wahl
strom for a time and were with Robert
Carter, present Inspector, until Munro made
a second address emphasizing the desirabil
ity of giving the Swedes representation on
the ticket and calling attention to the fact
that union labor' ha Wahlstrom booked as
a man who, in thirty years contracting, has
never failed to be fair with labor. When
the" convention had been glved these as
surances Wahlstrom was elected by accla
mation. The first ballot had resulted:
Wahlstrom, 42; Carter, 30, and John B.
Butler, 2.- The second ballot had resulted:
Wahlstrom, 48; Carter, 24; Butler, J. -

A. P. Tukey and Oeorge T. Nicholson, and
to 'represent the JS'inth ward, Munro of the
Eighth proposed G. 8. Benawa because of
the splendid fight the Real Estate exchange

The convention finally decided, however,
to adhere .to the rule of giving the nomina

ceived the , most vos at Friday's prf
martes and accordingly declared Nicholson
in the Fourth and C. 3. Huntington in the
Ninth Its nominees.

cheers and tiger had been proposed by Ma
jor Furay, the first delegate to reach the
hall and almost the last one to leave It.
ANTIS DEFER DEFINITE ACTION
Elect Chairman, Hear Speeches and
- Take Recess Until Monday
Evening-.
Like a lot of pouting children the antls
plied .out of Washington hall and straggled
on down to the Millard hotel, where they
assembled In a little hall on the fourth
floor and such doings. It wsa one tirade
of abuse for their opponents from start to
finish. Byron G. Burbank acted as band
master of the anvil chorus. He talked htm.
self black in the face in his fit of passion
to. convince the world thst Frank E. Moores
Is the worst man in It. Charles Unltt,
Charles. A. Ooss, C. E. Herring, R. W.
Breckenrldge, A. H. Burnett, Dr. W. H.
Christie, John T. fathers and Albert W.
Jefferts lent .their fiery oratory to the torrid
occasion. ,
The ntis did pot allow their wrath to
carry them. to the extreme of nominating
a ticket, but finally, after much pow-wow,
decided to take a recess until Monday at
8 p. m., when they will meet, subject to
the5 call of ex-Chairman Herring of the
city committee, the place to be designated
In that call.
R. W Brerkearldge acted as chairman
of the meeting, but Dr. Christie was elected
as 'Chairman for Monday night. E. R.
Woods waa secretary.
. It was 4:10 when the little group of in
surgents gathered. They were so wrought
up over their Imaginary grievances- thst
they were at a loss for some time to know
just what to do. The-first problem-to solve
seemed to be: "How many are we!" A. H.
Burnett arose and proclaimed that seventy
two delegates . were present, though- be
winked his. good right eye to a "faithful"
at his side, the meantime, tacitly admitting
that there , were only seventy, as in truth,
there were...
Before the anvil chorus got down to
business and while the bellows was getting
action on Itself, this committee on reso
lutions 'was appointed: A. H. Burnett,
Fifth ward; J. T. Cathers. Sixth; C. A.
Orlmmel, Ninth; W. A. Saunders, Fifth, and
J. G.-E. Llndquist, the machine "traitor,"
Eignm.
I'nitt Opena the Firework.
' Charles Unltt then arose. The bellows
had done good work by now and there was
a big lead of steam on. Unltt started out
fine. He' denounced Mr. Cowell for what
he termed the most high-handed outrage
ever perpetrated; In the history of Omaha
politics. -He thiff proclaimed, "this to be
me regular republican city convention
and moved 'that, those delegates In the
Third ward who protested their election at
the primaries be allowed seats on the floor
and the right to vote.
"And then Came the circle within the olr
de. ' It-was evident the little squad of en
raged insurgents was not a unit. Even
they, - who bolted the regular - convention,
now were boltlug among themselves.
"No, no,"' admonished Purlfyer Charles
Goss, "that won t do. Let us go slow and
take ho false step. We are a little
angry now; we are not prepared to
take final action, and I think the. best
thing to do ts to have that motion tabled
for the present. I admit I am not satisfied
with the legal itatus of the conditions un
der which we have met here; I don't know
In Just what capacity we have assembled
and until these, points are determined we
had better not act."
About' this time some prsctlcal Jikcr
"tipped it off" that the regulars had sent
a committee over to the antls to fix up
soms means of reconciliation and the joke
went "Immensely."
"Oh, well, now, that is' It; hat Is Just
what I ' thought might happen," Impul
sively shouted Brother Goss. "We bad
better wait. I think we had better ad
journ until Monday night, by which time
the other wing of our own party and the
democrats will have acted, and then w
will know better what to do."
Cathers Wanted a Ticket.
That semed pretty good to some, but not
to Cathers. He wanted to nominate a
ticket "now or not at all." He said he
feared If they waited until Monday plght
the fevsr might go down or some of the
brethren might prove false to the faith.
But Cathers waa sat upon, as it were.
He got what, had been so fairly adminis
tered to the Insurgents at the regular con
vention and so be had to subside for that
time. '
Then it was A, H. Burnett's turn. He
voiced the salving word of Brother Ooss.
Burnett moved a recess until Monday
night.
' Ex-Chairman Herring then responded
to repeated calls. Mr. Herring proceeded
to call the assemblage together as the
"republican convention." He admitted,
however, that he was Ignorant of a way
to proceed, admitting, also, that he waa
uncertain as to the legality of the Insur
gents' organization. He thought It would
be beat to defer-action.
Barbank'a Tarbnlent Tired.
In the midst of the turbulence and din
of thta miserable pow-wow one Byron G.
Burbank. lately divorced for mistreatment
of hi family, raced madly up the crowded
aisle, leaped upon the rostrum and as
aoon as he could get his breath cut loose
the vlala of abuse and vituperation.
"This person, Frank E. Monrss, hss cast
sham and disgrace upon his psrty and
upon his city," b said. Just by way of a
beginner, and then, to make It real good,
be denounced Chairman Cowell of the reg
ular convention, charging him with mak
ing two of the most outrageoui rulings
that were even heard of in a convention.
The ruling he referred to were when
Chairman Cowell simply followed a preced
ing ruling by Herring.
' "We went Into that convention desiring
nothing but harmony and what was fair,
and we tolerated the Impudent and out
rageous rulings of this tyrsnt as long as
we could. We had to leave that ball and
we did not leave It because w wer any
less faithful or devoted republicans, but
In th nam of fairness and common de
cency." JesTerla Coaa! Delar.
A. W. Jefferls held th next number.
Mr." Jefferls, however, wss tarn and to a
largs extent sober In his utterances. He
said tha antla now bad the chance of their
lives to get la the saddle, but h favored
deferring final action until Moaday night
on the asaumplloa that th democrats
would meet tonight and nominate and then
the regular republicans would hsve named
their ticket. With these results to guide
them, he thought the sntls ought to do
fstrly well. He ssld If this band of In
surgents did not gather Impetus by Monday
It ought to die.
"We csn lay successful plans for re
deeming Omaha from the reign of an
archy," said Jefferts, "If we but walk cir
cumspectly." Chairman Breckenrldge then took an
other whirl at It. He endorsed all things
that bad been said Just to show the spirit
of harmony and then went Into a detailed
explanation of the Incident over at Wash
ington hall that caused the eruption.
Dr. Christie was then made chairman for
the next meeting. He swung the sledge a
few times, saying:
"The time has now come when we aa
republicans must either sit supinely snd
submit to being shackled by the Rose-water-Moores-Dennison
trio and do Its
bidding or else rise and strike off these
manacles and declare our rights as free
men."
As a matter of fact, although the in
surgents pretended to have had seventy
two In their gathering, they did not have
but seventy. All of Moores' seventy
two delegates, ss many of them well knew,
bad stayed In Washington ball.
SHAKES OUT THE TRAILERS
Armoar Decides That He Has Too
Mnch. Company- la Ball Cam
paign la Wheat.
CHICAGO, April 11. A "shake out" of
the small holders of Msy and July wheat
occurred on the board of trade today, and aa
a result of the bull leader's endeavor to
secure, better control of the situation,
the price of the May delivery dropped 3
cents, while July declined 2Vac.
The market opened with every Indication
that the bull campaign which had been In
progress the past few days was still In full
swing. Shorts were active buyers from
the first tsp of the bell, and with little
buying by the Armour people, the price
of May quickly advanced to 77Hc, after
opening from a shade lower to HJlc
higher, at 76Vio to 76V4c July was also
strong and after opening at 71H to 72 Sic
sales were made at 72c.
With the. market la. such a favorable
condition the bull leader decided to get
rid of some of his holdings snd beean to
sell both the May and July options. The
change In tactics caught many traders
unawares and there was a. rush to sell,
which resulted In a rapid decline, the
price going down by jumps until Msy had
rescued 74c and July 6974c.
The amount of wheat sold by the Armour
Interests was conservatively estimated at
5,000,000 bu., a large part of which waa for
July delivery. Before the end of tho first
hour the trsdlng became more quiet and
prices rallied somewhat, May advancing to
76c and July to 70Hc.
The last half of the session was com
paratively quiet, the leader of the longs
having apparently withdrawn temporarily
from the scene of action. Shorts were
active buyers around 75c and combined
with a good commission hcuee demand May
rallied to 76 He, but caeed off again and
closed 44fc lower, at 75Hc July closed
lVsC lower, at 70H70Vc-
DETAILS OF THE BATTLE
Flsrhtlnc Started' by Moron and
Troop Have 'No Choice In
Matter.
DETROIT, April 11. General Davis hss
cabled the following account of Captain
Pershing's attack upon the Moro fortress at
Bactjlod:
MANILA. April twin pursuance of my
orders, based on the recommendation of
General Sumner, Captain J. J.- Pershing
started last Monday for the west coast of
Lake Ianao He visited many dattos per
Invitation. The Bacolod Moros have per
slatentlv defied us since we reached the
lake and have kept war flngs flying over
the forte, which were reported the strongest
on the lake.
R peated efforts were made to Induce the
sU'ian to come to Camp Vicars for a
friendly talk, but he never came. When
Captain Pershing approached the fort last
Monday he was fired upon and two men
were severely waunded. There was noth
ing left but to overcome the resistance.
The place was vry strong, surroundeW by
a ditch thirty feet deep. The first attack
drove the defenders out of the exterior.
On April 8 the tort was assaulted and the
ditch crossed under fire over a bamboo
bridge made by tho troops.
The walls of the fort were broken down,
the Moros fighting dea(-rau-!y. By 4 p. m.
the troops were In full rontrol. . Many
Moros were killed. Complete list of casual
ties: Eleven wounded. Seven canons, four
lantakas and many other captured arms.
Previous study of the situation,
careful preparation and disposition ac
counts for the small loss to our troop so
ably commanded by Captain Pershing.
He has moved forward to complete hfs
explorations and visit the frlendllea, his ob
jective point being Marahul, where I have
forwarded supplies from Pantar, near the
outlet to lake. I spent last night there. The
work on the Illgan road Is In good condition
and progressing favoraBly.
In a month wagons will be able to reach
Marahul from there. Am leaving for Jolo
tonight. DAVIS.
