The Mystery Cleared.
[From Fridays Daily.]

from Fr1O8y'6 Ually.J
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 1S.-[Special.] IA
Washington special to the Minneapolis
Tribune says: The mystery surrounding
the object of General Aliens visit here for
the past two weeks came to light to-day.
He has kept it guarded with marked vigor
and refused to indicate what he was here
for. To-day, however, the fact became
known that he is here in the interest of his
own candidacy for the governorship of Da-
kota. Last night General Allen had a
three hours interview witch Senator Matt
Quay before the latter started for New
York, when the matter of the governorship
was talked over at much length. Quay
and Allen are great personal friends, hav-
ing been state officers at the same time in
Pennsylvania. They were also in the army
together. Senator Quay has promised to
stand by Allen with the president-elect
and will ask Mr.. Harrison that Allen be
given the govenorship.

THE INDIANS ARE FAVoRABzE

To the Opening of the Entire Territory
To White Settlers.
BAXTER SPRINGS, Kas., Dec. 18.-The
Indian territorial convention met in the
city hall to-day and passed resolutions
favoring the immediate opening of the en-
tire Indian territory to white settlers and
allotments of lands in severalty to the
Indians. Delegations were present from
many of the principal cities of Missouri,
Kansas and Arkansas. Liberal represen-
tations from many of the Indian tribes
were also present. Ex-Gov. Il. T. Critten-
den of Missouri was elected permanent
chairman and G. w. Daniels of Baxter
Springs secretary. An interesting and i'm.
portant feature of the convention was the
attendance and outspoken sentiments of
the Indians themselves. Quite a number
OF chiefs and influential men of the various
Indian tribes came out strongly in favor of
the allotment of lands and to rid them of
the responsibilities of citizenship and the
protection of the general government.
Chiefs John EARLY Of the Ottawa nation,
and William PabOttic of the Peoria nation
made stirring speeches, endorsing the
measures advanced by the convention.
Governor Crittenden delivered an eloquent
address and was followed by Judge Emory
of Lawrence, Kas., Hon. L. l.. Bridges Of
Sedalia and others. The sentiment of the
convention was in favor Of giving the
Indians all their lands if necessary, but to
divide them severally and make them citi-
Zens of the United States and to make the
Indian territory one Of the prosperous
states of the union.

summoning them to appear before the

appointed district attorney decided upon
this course of obtaining information upon
which to discover Indictment, presumably
in the Dudley case, caused quite sensa-
ton about the lobbies this morning, and
Senator Quay's arrival is eagerly awaited.
"A Birmingham, Ala, committee pre-
sented an address to General Harrison.
He received them with great cordality and
invited them into his library, the place
few visitors reach. Discussion was en-
tlrely informal, both on the part of the
committee and General Harrison. Mr..
explained to General Harrison the causes
leading to this new move in the south
looking toward readjustment of the party
line. Gentlemen OF the committee state
General Harrison talked freely with them,
and the subject of protection and the ben
ehts the north had received from it which
We're also open to the south.
GRATIFYING SIGN TO HIM.
The committee were particular to impress
upon General Harrison the importance of
appointing representative men to Office in
the south. The members of the committee
are very guarded and secret as to what. if
any, definite expression the president-elect
made touching his views of the southern
question or race question. AS to the latter,
1t does nOG seem to have entered directly
into the conversation. but prominent
member of the committee in Speaking to
an Associated Press correspondent made
an Important admission when he stated in
connection with the efforts of the commit
tee upon General Harrison the Importance
OF appointing only such men to office as
were appointed in the north. To this sug-
gestlon the general replied: II shall try to
appoint only good officers in the south
good republicans" This quotation is not
given as unquestionably accurate. for
When the gentleman's attention was called
to the significance of the last two words he
was silent and would neither retract or
deny. The committee all unite in saying
that their visit was satisfactory and they
accomplished all they either expected or
desired. They are emphatic in their de-
nlal that there is any politics in the visit,
such as seeking offices for friends, and they
suggested no names to the president-elect,
nor does he ask for any suggestions.
THE PARTY ARRIVES.
Senator M. l. Quay. accompanied by his
private secretary, P. w. Leach. Gen. w. B.

A Contestine Mayors Search for Office

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 19.-In canvassing
the city for a recount Of the vote cast for
mayor at the recent election-which is con-
tested by O'Donnell, the independent can
didate-there is no longer doubt thai the
election officers returned fraudulent state
ments. A portion of the Fifth congress
sional district is located in this city, and
during the progress of the recount Of the
mayOralty vote an unofficial canvass has
been made Of the congressional vote. The
official returns from the Fifth district
showed that F, ]. Clunie, democratic, re-
ceived majority of47 over T. G. Phelps,
republican. This unofficial recanvass of
the congressional vote has been made to-
day in but twelve precincts out of eighty
of the Fifth district. which is located in
San Francisco. The Chronicle, (rep.)
claims the unofficial recasvass so far shows
that Phelps gained seventy-six votes, or
tWenty-nine more than Clunie's majority,
in the entire district. The Examiner,
(dem.) disputes the claim of the republicans
and asserts that this unofficial recount
shows Clunie gained twenty eight votes in
the twelve precincts thus far canvassed
to-day.

IN FAVOR OF THE OMNIBUS BILL
to include the territories having a. ratio of
population emitting them to one member
of congress. Mr.. Carlisle expressed some
doubt about the people of Dakota being so
favorable to division as had been reported,
but nevertheless he conc urred with Cox
when he said that the democratic party
might as well anticipate the inevitable.
Cox closed the debate in speech in which
he said it was evident great advance
towards harmony had been made since the
previous caucus. He asked the members
to accept the proposition of Judge Holman,
leaving the Dakota question to the people
of that territory and providing for the ad-
mission IF the other territories named.
Holman's resolution as amended by sug-
gestion from Speaker Carlisle was then
adopted and the caucus at 1915 adjourned.
