Distinguished Republicans En- Route 10
Chicago.

PIrTssuRa, June l5-There was a nota-
BILE gathering of Republicans at Union Sta
ton yesterday, en- route to Chicago. Among
the number were Senator Spooner of Wis
consin, Senator Stockbridge of Michigan,
and Congressman Mckinley and Butter
worth, of Ohio. While taking breakfast
the gentlemen were sill disposed TO talk
quite freely.
Senator Spooner said: ''The indications
point to the selection of one candidate from
New York and the other from Indiana. 1t
is necessary that one of the candidates be
long to Indiana, and it is unfortunate that
two residents from that State should be in
the field"
Senator Stockbridge said the Michigan
delegation was not only going to present
General Alger's name, but would nominate
him. The delegation was solid.
Hon. Benjamin Butterworth said the
convention would be the greatest ever held
by either of the parties. "Upon it." he
said, depends the future, more than ever,
of the Republican party. 1t means that
the future will either be one of grand sue
cess or the going TO pieces of the party. II
o destructive element tries to nominate a
man whom wiser heads know might be de-
feated, then we might as well divide the
assets and build up the party anew. But
do not expect such q result. l believe
wise course will be pursued and strong
man will be nominated. The talk of more
Blaine letters is nonsense. Blaine's honor
lies between himself and acceptance of the
nomination, after the two letters he has
written. Iwould regard it as an indiscre-
ton in his friends to crowd his name into
the convention after these two letters"
Major Mckinley said Sherman was sure
of 800 votes on the first ballot and be had
every reason TO believe he would be nomi-
mated. Blaine" he said, "wss out of the
race. The platform would be squareiy for
protection

Stung 10 Death by Bees.

NORWICH, CONN. June 15.-Old Tim.
Williams, the Lebanon hermit who has
lived alone on a small farm amid under
brush and thicket his entire life, was yes
terday found dead. His place was seldom
visited owing to his eccentricities. He was
devoted to his small garden, his chickens
and his bees. These and a cat and dog
were his only friends. Yesterday his oldest
and largest hive of bees swarmed upon
a huge apple tree just back of his hut.
Fearing that they would escape him, the
seventy-siI-year-old man climbed the tree,
a distance of twenty-five feet He fell to
the ground stirring up the bees in his de-
scent. The bees followed him down and
completely covered him in their anger
stinging him hundreds of times With one
leg broken, the cage torn from his face, and
too weak to fight the insects, he was practi-
cally at their mercy. They literally stung
the old man to death When he was found
the bees still swarmed upon his body,
which presented pitiable sight.

present scale of wages, based on $3.50 for
boiling on two-cent card. After q two
hours session, the committee adjourned

syndicate has hitherto taken all copper
offered in this market at 1850 per pound,
but yesterday dealers were surprised when
the agent of the syndicate bid only 1855
for lot of 100000 pounds that was offered.
The effect was to send futures down Is to

taken as showing that the syndicate still
retains absolute power over the copper pro

FISpLAY. June l5-A tremendous rain
and wind storm, accompanied by thunder
and lightning of the most vivid character,
struck this city. The rain came down in
binding torrents and the streets were soon
flooded with water, while the lightning
played sad havoc with houses and trees No
less than three houses and a half dozen
trees were struck and much damage done,
but no one was injured, 80 far as could
be ascertained. 1t is estimated that at
least three inches of rain fell during the
night, and the present indications are for
renewal of the rain. All in all, it was the
most fearful night in the way of storm fea-
lures the city has experienced for years.

The News Received .t London.

LONDON, June 15.-The news from Berlin
is the chief object of interest here. All day
long the end of the Royal invelid's brave
struggle with death has been looked for.
Fears for the worst were confirmed when
Mr.. Smith made the announcement in the
House of Commons at $50 last evening
that there was little hope of recovery. An
official message of such q nature was felt
too ominous, and people recalled the fact
that the announcement in Parliament of
Emperor Williams condition. preceded his
death by only few hours. The slowness
with which the dispatches from Berlin
have been coming all day is astounding,
and newspaper bulletins have been read BY
eager throngs anxious to learn the first
tidings OF death. Even the German EN-
bassy has been dependent for information
almost entirely upon the newspapers, and
the news has been of the most meagre
character. Without doubt the Emperor
began to gradually sink at an early hour in
the morning. The tampon canula, by
means of which the lung passage was tenn
porarily kept clear Wednesday prove
complete failure. Yesterday tampon ca
nula which had gutta percha coating was
filled in the patients throat This when
inflated, filled the vacant space between he
walls Of the windpipe, thus preventing the
downward passage into the lungs of solids
or liquid matter which might be admins
tered. This was almost the last resort, and
its failure was due to the rapid progress Of
the local disease. Inflammation of the
lungs was the inevitable result of the fail
ure to prevent the passage of matter there
to. The Empress never left her
husbands side ali day. At night
all the royal family, the Prnssian Ministers
of the State and members of the Foreign
Ambassadors were present at the palace
sadly awaiting the inevitable end.

Confession of q Murderer.

SAcRANENTo. CAL, June Is. - Henry
Myers, implicated with John Olsen and
William Dagger in the murder of John
Lowell, wealthy rancher of Folsom, Cali
fornia, has made statement in which he
said he became acquainted with Lowell two
months before the murder, which was COM
mitted Sunday, March 26. Lowell, at the
time, spoke about selling his property, as
the neighbors were unfriendly to him, and
as Myers knew something about stock,
asked the latter to sell his horses for him
Subsequently, on March q, Myers, with
Olsen and Dagger, went to Lowell's ranch
to obtain employment cutting wood. On
arriving at the ranch, Olsen suggested that
as they were ali poor, they should put
Lowell out of the way and divide the large
amount of money he had and what they
could realize from the sale of stock, har-
ness and vehicles. A plan was formed, and
after breakfast the four went out to look at
the wood they were to cut Lowell was
two feet in front of Myers when the latter
fred the shot which killed him. The body
was then wrapped in canvass and buried
under some loose dirt in the cellar. When
the men left the ranch, they took several
horses with them which they sold, and di-
vided the proceeds. Myers then fed south
under an assumed name, Olsen going to
eutter county, while Dagger remained in

CINCINNATI. June 15.-Yesterday, in
Hamilton, Ohio, Miss Grace Campbell,
daughter of the late Hon. L. D. Campbell.
eX-Sscretary Of the Interior and eI-con-
gresham, was to have married Mr.. Henry
Webley, wealthy manufacturer of Bir-
mingham, England. Cincinnatians who had
been invited to the brilliant affair had
their invitations recalled by telegraph with
no explanations. Hamilton guests received
written cards announcing that the invita-
tons had been recalled. The story of the
cause, current in Hamilton, is that Mr..
Webley was disappointed in the extent Of
the Campbell estate. He formed Miss
CampbelTs acquaintance during visit she
made to England. Mr.. Wcb1ey went to
Hamilton, few days ago. utreturned to
this city, yesterday and left hurriedly last
night for New York. in an apparently
troubled condition, of mind.

sists of one hundred and sixty people, and
the train is composed of seven sleepers,
dinning commissary and baggage car, and
il without doubt the finest equipped train

Around the hotels there was good deal
OF talk among the politicians snent the ap-
parent Blaine undercurrent, although none
OF them would admit that it meant any
thing more than q token of sympathy and
regard. At the various headquarters not
much was doing. There was a falling off
IN the callers at the Gresham rooms and
the feeling generally prevailed that his
boom was losing force with each succeeding
day. Algers advance guard was active and
enthusiastic and talked with earnestness of
the strength which their candidate would
develop when the delegations and the nu-
merous Grand Army contingents began to
pour in on Saturday.
There were not many signs of active
vitality about the Sherman headquarten
until last night when the 0hioans arrived
In full force on special train, and began
to whoop things up in vigorous style. Nor
did the Harrison detachment from Indiana
make much of a stir, although they moved
AROUND, here, there and everywhere, and
did good deal of quiet talking in behalf of
their candidate and against Gresham.
About third Of the delegation is now
here, and they will be reinforced by the re-
mainder add five thousand Indianans by
Monday. The Shermanites are confident
and claim Indiana, Wisconsin, Pennsyl-
vania and New York, on the second or
third ballots. together with the solid sup
port of the South.

The enquiry about eastern Montana
from prospective emigrsnts Is contin-
uous and general from all parts of the
states. There is not a day passes that a
request IL not received by the JOURNAL
for sample copies Of the paper and
some days they number half dozen.
All this indicates that the restless por.
tion of the American people who 20
to make up the frontier population are
beginning to talk among themselves
about Montana. Our advantages are
beginning to be known and IL will
only need the location of one small
colony like that suggested by Mr..
Courtenay's correspondent to start the
tide of emigration this way. For the
past two years the wave has flowed
past Us to Oregon, but there are many
indications that portion Of these peo.
pie, who have been madly rushing to

ney the productive valleys and rich
range lands of eastern Montana, have
