the national committee by Col Hooker, Of
Vermont, whose merits as politician aud
pronounced sherman man are recognized
generally. Allisons advocate also put in
claim Of Dakoia's good will In return ior
the services Of J. S. Clarkson, who also
stood 10y the Dakota men In the national
committee. The change 10 Dakota last
night by John g. New, Of Indiana, aud

Bailey assured an Associated Press rc.

The Young Mems Blaine club, Of Chi
cago, met this afternoon 10 perfect ar
rangements for its participation in the pa
rade which takes place tomorrow night,
starting at the auditorium. The parade
will be strictly Blaine turn-outand at least
5000 persons from Chicago and abroad
are expected TO take part in it, Chairman
Beard appointed committee OF ten to
visit the various Blaine delegations in the
city and tender them invitations 10 gather
at the California headquarters. The Cal
ifornia delegation has extended an invita-
ton TO the local Blaine club 10 make its
headquarters ut the Leland hotel and the
invitation has been accepted.
The determination OF the Pacific slopers
to secure proper reconiton in the convcn-
ton has early manifested itself. A meet
ing OF the delegates from States and Ter.
ritories west of the Missouri river was held
at the headquarters Of the California dele
cation. In the Leland hotel this afternoon
all OF tho States and Territories OF the
boundloss west were represented. As a
preliminary the meeting elected Henry
Wolcott, chairman of the Colorado dele
cation, temporary chairman and q. Il.
Degolia, secretary of the California deloga-
ton, temporary secretary. These officers
We're later made the permanent officers OF
the Pacific association. Col Creed Ham
mond, chairman OF the California delega-
ton, stated the object of the meeting,
which was the organization Of the coast
and western States that they might act for
the interest Of the Pacific coast in the
convention. The Dakota delegates said
as 10 tie question OF allowing
their delegates q full vote Of the CONVEX.
ton had not be decided they did not care
to expr, s any preference fora presidential
candidate. Montana delegates expressed
the same idea, but said their sympathies
were with the Pacific coast, and they
would do all they could 30 further the in.
tcrcsts OF that section OF the country. A
roll call was ordered and all who were moi
delegates were requested TO withdraw. A
resolution inviting Gov. Stevenson, OF Ne.
yada, and the national committeeman
from Colorado and California who werc
present, TO remain was passed and the gen.
| tlomen remained.
Col. Hammond moved thata committee
10 consist Of one member from each State
and Territory, be appointed to formulate q
plan Of organization for the Pacific coast
association. The motion prevailed, and
the following committee was appointed:
Nevada, senator John B. Jones; Callor

CnicAGo, June l7.-Senator sherman's
name will be presented 10 the convention
by Adjutant General Hastings, Of Penn
sylvania. Some doubt Of this has been
suggested during the past iorty-oight hours
when the assumption that Senator Quay
bad agreed 10 the opportunities Of Phila.
wen in with Mayor Filter, OF the Quaker
City, 10 allow the State 10 give Iitlor a
complimentary vote.
The delegates from Pennsylvania, who
are naturally supposed 10 bc Blaine men,
say that IL will be impossible 90 stampede
the delegates now for Blaine, and that
Pennsylvania will stand by sherman for ~
many ballots as there are hopeful ballots
for his nomination.

ANOTHER BIG TRUST.
This Time It Is Our Northwestern
Forests.


MINNEAPOLIS, MIMI, Aug. 13.-The de-
tails Of one Of the most gigantic trusts ever
devised have Just come to the surface In this
city. Il is combination Of all the princi.
pal lumber interests Of Minnesota and
those Of Wisconsin. Fred Weyerhauscr,
the rich lumberman, who has already Sc.
cured control of all the pine lands tribu.
tary to the Chippewa and Menominee riv.
ers, In Wisconsin, is ut the head of the
deal. A short time ago hc bought up the
controlling interest of all the big lumber
firms and pine land owners in Northern
Wisconsin, and now has absolute
control of the lumber business In that
section. He IL Mt the head of the Mis-.
sjssippi Logging Company, whose head.
quarters are ut Eau Claire, Wis. Tho
company Is now said to coutrol about $eO,.
Coz, 1000, invested In lumber and pine lands,
and IL backed by heavy capitalists of Ber.
lin. The company now owns about 0,00O,.
100000 of stumpage In Wisconsin, and it
II understood on good authority that
nearly rs much moro is now being con.
tractcd for in Minnesota. Options have
already been secured on q largo amount
Of Minnesota stumpage, and agents
Of the syndicate are securing the
country to get all there Is in sight. Il
is known that T. b. Walker, the largest
pine.land owner in Minnesota, has given
nm option on all the stumpagc he owns.
He was approached hy the syndicate few
days ago, and he was asked II he would
sell his land He did not want TO sell, but
named a price about double the market
value Of his lands at tho present time, sup.
posing IL would not be accented, but to his
surprise three iays later the syndicate
