Gottkan Released.

MILWAUKEE, May 22.-[Special -
Paul Gottkan, a somewhat noted an
archist agitator, has been released from
the House of Correction after serviI g
but weeks of his sentence of one
years Imprisonment, on account of a
technicality which is that when the
Legislature enacted that the sentence
for felonies should not begin to run
until the prisoner was actually locked
up. 1t forgot to mention misdemeanOrs
and that consequently the time spent
by Gottkan on bail, pending an appeal
to the Supreme Court, counted on his
original sentence.

Will Live With a Broken Neck.

NEW YORK, May 21.-[Special.l +
There are strong indications that John
Buddan, who on the 7th inst, broke his
neck, will recover. He is now at the
homeopathic hospital on Cumberland
street, where he has been undergoing
an operation which the surgeons think
will make him himself again. When
taken to the hospital he was in such
agony that he was Immediately etheriz-
ed and then his head was twisted in
many ways until the bones snapped
into place. The head of the patient has
been placed in a plaster cast bound to
the bed and weight placed at his
feet to prevent the possibility OF any
change of position that might cause a
return of the dislocation.

Republicans and the Mills Bill

WASHINGTON, May 23.-[Special.l !
A number of Republicans were in con-
ference last evening at the residence Of
Representative Hit, of Illinois, upon
the question of considering the Mills
bill. Under the five minute rule there
was general exchange of views among
those present as to the character of the
bill and amendments which may be
offered. Nothing definite was deter
mined upon, but it seemed to be the
general judgement that the bill should
be considered item by item with great
thoroughness.

NEW YORK DEMOCRATS
Making Final Arrangements to Go to
st. Louis.

SU, Louis,
NEW YORK, May 23.-[Special. The
Tammany Hall committee of "a will
make final arrangements today for the
st. Louis trip. The delegates will leave
at 2:30 p m. Saturday, June B, on the
New York Central road. There is
trouble brewing between Tammany
and the County Democracy about the
size of their respective delegates. At
first Tammany proposed to send 1000
men and the County Democracy pro-
posed to send as many also, but there
was really no good reason for such
delegation, the cost would be enormous.
decided to cut the number down to 250
on each side. At the same time there
was an understanding that neither Or
ganization should attempt to make a
bigger splurge than the other, and that
neither should take any music. The
Tammany bosses thereupon ISSUED Or
ders reducing the number of delegates
to ten from each district, and engaged
the Marine Band, of st. Louis. to meet
them at the depot. But the Counties
did not hold faith, and quietly arranged
for much larger delegation. In
addition to the regular $50, Senator
Michael G. Murphy, proposed to take
$50 members of the Hickory Club, thus
swelling the county Democracy contin-
gent to at least 400. When the Tamma-
ny people heard of this word was quiet
ly passed along the district leaders that
if they wished to increase the delega-
tion from ten to fifteen each, or even
more, no objection would be raised.
The Tammany leaders,i it is said, are ser
iously debating the question of coming
ont openly for Governor Hills romina-
ton, although the declaration may be
held back until after the national con
vention.

HARRISBURG, PA, May 22.-ISpeciall
Wednesdays convention is the load
stone which is attracting Democrats to
this city from all parts of the State.
Within the next two days all the prom
inent Democratic leaders, with the eX-
ceptiOn of Congressman Randall, who
freely realizes that he is outside the
fold, will be here. Congressman Scott,
about whom all the lesser lights cluster,
arrived last night, and is registered at
the Bolton House, where chairman
Kisner has established his headquarters.
AS yet few delegates have arrived, and
the political prophet is without voca-
tion. EX-chairman Hensel has been
selected as temporary chairman, and
VIM. A. Wallace will be permanent
chairman. The death of Auditor Gen
eral Norris this morning, caused some
comment for the time as to the compli-
cation likely to arise from the nOmina-
ton of candidate for that Office, but
is agreed to let the State committee
name the candidate hereafter. For del
egates at large, Ex-Congressman
Mutchler, Ex-Attorney General Cassidy
and Congressman Scott, are on the
State. The name of Charles A. Boyle,
of Philadelphia, is also there, but r
Milton Speer, of Huntington, will
probably supplant him, if it can be ac.
complished. Mr.. Speer says the press
has misrepresented his attitude towards
President Cleveland. He is in harmony
with the administration. In the plat
form there will be a strong tariff reform
plank.

The Unsuccessful balloing of this morn
lng's session had the effect only OF lntensi-
flying the interest in the proceedings OF the
convention, when it was called to order after
recess.
The galleries were filled early, and IN the
space reserved for the delegates, the hum OF
conversation was intense. Hardly had the
gavel of the chairman fallen upon the desk,
when Mr.. King, Of Maryland. moved that
the convention adjourn until IL O'Clock
Monday morning. The chair decided that
the roll of states be called. When 1t was
apparent that the motion to adjourn had
prevailed, a delegate from Alabama rose
and inquired whether the railroad tickets,
which expired by limitation would bs
extended. In response the chairman, whose
voice was weak, directed the secretary to
state that the tickets would be good until
the convention adjourned sine die, and
when the secretary spoke about railroad
passes, the convention realized the ludl-
crousness of the slip and applauded and
laughed vigorously. The chairman then
announced the vote to adjourn, yeas 496,
nays 322, and the convention accordingly
adjourned to meet Monday morning at II
o'clock.

been led into the mistake of allowing his

After the three ballots in the first session

in q small measure varied from the compll-
mentary status, Mr.. Depew requested the
remaining three delegates at large from

he announced his intention to retire and the
four delegates and leaders at once endeav-
ored to revive the original policy of the
New York delegation, and choose man to

Senator Hiscock has been rather favorable

and the other three delegates agreed to cast
