Democratic member for Polk county,

preparing to leave his home at
Livingston, by which his arm was
broken, while Robinson, Democrat,
of Deer Lodge, who was called TO Muir
ray, Idaho, fortnight ago, to defend in
a murder trial at that place, has not yet
returned, and may not be here for a
week to come. This leaves the Demo-
Gratis with a majority of Ouly one for
the first day of the convention.
Prominent Republicans, however, de-
clare their side will take no advantage
of the temporary embarrassment of1the
Democrats to steal the organization Of
the convention. 1t is likely temporary
organization will be effected tomorrow
possibly with Judge Dixon, of Butte, as
chairman. In permanent organiza-
less be made president and William
ii. III. Todd, of Benton river. is Secre-
tary. The honor of the complimentary
vote of the Republicans for president
will probably be bestowed upon l.. III.
Herschfeld, chairman of the Republi-
can central committee, or eX-GOv. B.
Platt Carpenter. Political issues will
be carefully avoided by both sides,
although each will be alert
to profit by errors on the other side.
The leaders In either party will take ad-
vantage of their positions in convention
to make capital for the state election on
Oct. L. Among the members who will
likely to be heard from as candidates
for either governor, congressman, or
senator, are on the Republican side,
Hershfield, Carpenter, Marshall, Knowles
and Warren, and among the Democrats,
Clark. JOole, Maginnls, Dixon and Glib

CINCINNATI, July 3.-The Sullivan
party left Cincinnati for New Orleans
at 1922 this morning. Sullivan's special,
one of Mann's boudoir cars, the ''Lucia
di Lammermoor," was attached to the
rear of the train. Sullivan came some
time before the hour of departure, hav-
ing had an early breakfast at the Bur-
nett house, rushed to the car and Sc
cluded himself from the public gaze.
About $50 local sports and men about
town gained admittance within
the depot gates and acted as
guard of honor until the
train pulled out. The man who
sells Sullivan's badges did quite lively
business, and the champions face,
printed on white ribbon, adorned the
manly breasts OF many of his admirers
on the platform. The train contained
very few passengers outside of the SHl-
livan party and regular travellers,
among the latter being several ladies.
John Mccormick, of the New York
Evening Sun, joined the party here.

quirer, B. B. johnson, the Commercial
Gazette, and George A. ShiEes, of the

HELENA, Mont, July 3.-The Mon.

at noon tomorrow in the court house i'm
this city. AS it stands politically the
Democrats will have majority of three
and plurality of four over the Repub-
licans. Consequently the organization
of the convention will be made by the
Democrats, who will probably elect for
president William A. Clark, of Butte.
who presided over the constitutional
convention of 1884 and was the Demo-
cratic nominee for delegate to con-
gress at the election last fall.
Party lines will not be drawn
closely in the convention, although
the Republicans allege. and will at
tempt to make it appear, that the Demo-
Gratis will seek to make partisan ap-
portiOnmeDt for the election of members
of the legislature. The members of the
convention are already i'm the city, and
will be in their seats when the conven-
tion is called to order. Among the more
distinguished members are Joseph K.
Toole and Martin Maginnis, ex-dele-
gates to congress; Judge W. W. Dixon
and W. A. Clark, of Butte: ex-Gov. B.
Platt Carpenter, formerly of New York;
Banker L. FL. Hershfield, of Helena,
and Messrs. Middleton and Bickford,
members of the last territorial legisla-
ture assembly. 1t is probable that the
organization will not be completed be-
fore Saturday.
The narrow majority by which the
Democrats should control this organize
ton of the convention is imperiled to-
night by the fact that William 7. Field,

NEW ORLEANS, July 3.-As the day of
battle draws near the excitement be-
comes more intense, and thousands Of
people express themselves as being anX-
iOuS to go to the scene of the mill, no
matter where it takes place. En-
thusiasts engaged in business are al
ready laying the foundation for eX-
cuses to go. Sick headache, stomach
troubles, ETC., are frequent, and shrewd
guessers lay all these complaints to
desire to see the fight on Monday.
Betting on the result was not very
lively to-day, there being plenty of
Sullivan money and but little Kilrain
money in sight. The Kilrain men
are holding back for the advent of the
bookmakerS and knowing ones who are
expected in tomorrow. One bet of $500
to $3.50 on Sullivan was placed to-day,
and bets of 100 to 70 and 100 to 60 on
Sullivan were offered but found no
takers. The Sullivan men are not
offering odds because they underrate
Kilrain, but because the latter's friends
are shy just now. One friend of Kill
rains said: ut would be impossible
for man fed on Boston baked beans
back ducks and Chesapeake oysters"
Prof. Butler will have charge of the
ring police, who will number 200 men.
They are to be sworn i'll on Sunday next
at the Office of the Spirit of the South.
The managers of the fight give aSSur-
ance that the utmost order will be
maintained. A special train left over
the Queen and Crescent route to-day,
having as passengers the managers and
friends of the two sluggers, and they
did not return until night. The Young
Mems GymnaStic club held a
meeting tonight to arrange for
the reception of Sullivan, who
will reach here tomorrow. He will be
met at the depot by large delegation
of officers and most prominent members
and be driven to the club rooms, where
the champion will be welcomed in as
quiet manner as possible. After that
ters at Spanish Fort. Three rooms
have been prepared in the
Casino for Sullivan and trainers. They
connect with each other, and are COM
fortably furnished. The Southern Ath-
letic club will receive Kilrain, and
large delegation will go out on a special
train to meethim and party Friday. Kill
rain and party will embark on special
train at the the meeting point and come
to the city, where carriages will take
them to the club rooms, where quarters
have been prepared for him. 1t is
curious thing to note the sudden faith
that has sprung up in the curative
waters of the Abita Springs, and the de-
sire that has suddenly seized a great
number of people to sniff the perfume
of the pine. Almost every one met on
the streets is going to Abita Springs on
Monday.

There is left but one hotel, two livery

The fire did not reach the residence

exists among the people. The fire
started in the Nevada bakery,
corner of Main and Carbonate streets.

fire-proOf, as if they were tinder. The
heat was so oppressive that the firemen
had to desert their hose and hose cart,
and consequently the town was left to
the mercy of the fire. Word was sent
to Bellville, five miles south, and her
company hurried to the scene with all

chants hotel corner, the fire swept
south onto the next block, jumped the
street to the west and returned north
along the street, burning all the houses
with the single exception of Friedman
d Co.'s fire-proof building. Of four
blocks of solid brick buildings nothing is
left but this one store. The burnt dis
trict includes the entire business por-
ton and takes in but few residences, SO
there will not be any destitution. In
surance on the property destroyed will

DULUTH, Mimi, July 3.-There is lit
tie change in the strike situation to-day.
Wolf q TruaX posted notice offering
S1.75 per day. and as soon as the rain
lets up will probably have all the men
they want. The gas and water COM
pany people say they will not pay more
than $3.50, and 1t does not make much
difference to them whether the men
return to work even at that figure. The
strikers are without organization, and
seem to be as much at sea as to what
they want as they were yesterday.
This morning crowd of about
200, went to one of the rock
cuts at Sixth avenue east and threatened
violence if they did not quit. A squad
of policemen were compelled to draw
revolverS TO drive the crowd back, but
this was the only evidence of temper
displayed. Mayor Sutphin addressed
the strikers at meeting held this after
noon, and told them he would allow no
interference with men wanting to work,
even if compelled to call on the state
for aid. There is considerable bad feel
ing among the leaders, and some drink
ing is being indulged in, which may re-
suit seriously. more especially since
Wolf & TruaX will pay S1.75 per day.
Strikers threaten to stop their men from
working at that figure, unless the Gas
and Water company will pay the same.
Tomorrow being holiday, no further
demonstration will be made till the day
following.

A Stiff Game of Poker.

Anumber of gentlemen were gathered
at ChamberlaiD's telling poker stories
the other day, when one of them said:
zone of the nerviest games of poker i
ever saw in this city was played not
long ago in room at the Arlington
hotel, where several gentlemen well
known in national politics were in the
party. All the hands had been dealt,
and about $500 was i'm the pot before
the draw. Only two stayed in. They
were Gen. Malone and Col. Henry Wat
tersOn. Gen. Malone held two pairs
and drew one card. Watterson stood
pat. Malone bet an even hundred.
Watterson saw the hundred and raised
him five hundred. Malone saw that
amount and raised it another hundred.
Watterson saw that and raised it a
thousand. Malone laid down and
asked Watterson to let him see the
cards, but Henry said: No; if you
want to see what l have you must pay
for it, and he raked in the pot. After
wards he told his friends just what he
had. 1t was cool bluff, and he hadn't
a card in his hand higher than queen,
but he took several thousand dollars of
the Virginia gentleman's money through
using his nerve at the proper time"

LOWER BRULE AGENCY, Dak., July
Sin the council this morning Iron
Nation arose and stated he was the head
chief and would sign the bill, and his
people would follow. Medicine Bull
SAID they were willing to follow
Iron Nation, but wanted more
explanation. Gov. Foster then went
carefully over the bill again, and
Gen. Crook told the Indians as they
were all willing they had better sign
this afternoon; that tomorrow would
be the Fourth of July, and the fact that
the Indians at Lower Brule had signed,
would be telegraphed all over the cOun-
try and their friends would be pleased.
Several of the chiefs objected to the
Santees participating In the benefits,
but the commissioners talked them
out of this. Iron Nation then
SAID to Gen. Crook; "Three Stars,
l am going to sign because you tell me
this is good bill but before l do so 1
want you to promise to be good friend
to the Indians here. We want to re-
main on White River and wish you to
tell the Great Father" Left-Hand
Thunder endeavored to stem the tide
which was setting SO strongly in favor
of the bill but his efforts were unavaiI-
ing. Iron Nation signed first and
was followed in order of
rank by the other chiefs. The
conversion of Iron Nation, Little
Pheasant, Dead Band and Surrounded,
the leaders of last years opposition, was
a triumph hardly equaled in the record
of the Indian negotiations. and for
which the commissioners deserve great
credit. Yesterday afternoon Gen. Crook,
at the request Of the chiefs, had priv
ate talk with them, and at this confer
ence the programme that has been sue
cessfully carried out to-day was agreed
upon. The Indians are signing as rap
idly as possible, and the result will be a

TRAINED TOO FINE.
Kilrain May Find 1t Difficult to
Last Through Long Fight.

BALTIMORE, July 3.-Jake Kilrain
left Baltimore at 2:15 this afternoon by
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. Jake,
accompanied by Johnny Murphy,
Pony Moore and Mitchell, drove
up to Camden station shortly before
2 and went Immediately to the Pull
man car, where berths had been re-
served. Jake wore dark suit and a
large straw hat. His face was unshaven,
and he looked tired and serious, though
he assured every one that he felt tip
top. The man is hard as rock, but
looks a trife too fine. His ckeeks
are sunken and the color only fair;
his eyes lack lustre, but that is charac-
teriStic of the man, even when out of
training Mitchell has very nearly de-
cided to work his man up to Sunday
and has taken every possible precaution
to keep him just that shade of physical
condition, which, in professional par
lance is known as ION edge" Con-
Servative judges consider Jake's stomach
and legs his strong points. Ii Kllrain's
blows should lack steam, or late in the
fight his massive head should drop for
ward, he can only blame the proWeSS of
his burly antagOnist-or perhaps that
six or eight pounds gone to the bad
in his final week of PREPARATION. 1t looks
as though Kilrain had trained for a
sprint and in sporting parlance, may
find it difficult to last distance. Aside
from this, the man looks strong and fit
for bruising battle. A queer lot of
men were gathered in that carmen
with the latest style high light hat.
flannel shirt and diamonds, and
other Jewelry. Most of the New
York crowd looked as though they had
been up all night. Among them
were James Hill, of Albany; Dominick
McCaffrey, Pat Sharkey, Pat Rooney,
Billy Madden, Bob Turksull, R. II.
Parker, Dave Holland, William O'Neill
and Hugh Cullom. Several hundred
persons were present, but there were
no cheers as the train left. The train is
expected to arrive at New Orleans at II
o'clock Friday. The betting here is
about 100 to 90 Oh Sullivan.

bodies have been recovered. Ten of
the miners who were taken out alive

news of the disaster spread SO quickly
that the mouths of the pits were soon
surrounded by crowds of relatives and
friends of the imprisoned miners. Many
heartrending scenes were witnessed as
the bodies were brought to the surface.
There is no hope of rescuing any of
the men now in the pits, all of whom
have already probably perished.

SIOUX FALLS, Dak., July 3.-Most of
the members of the constitutional con-
ventiOn are in the city tO-niget in readi-
ness for the session which begins at
noon tomorrow. The general impress
sion seems to be that the convention
will meet at noon, effect temporary
organization and adjourn until Friday
in order to take part in the celebration
of Independence day. The members of
the convention have place in the
parade, riding in carriages with mem
bers of the Commercial club and citi-
zens. Edgerton's friends are making
an active fight for him for the presi-
dency of the convention, and the OppO-
sition seems to be growing qnieter.
The chances tonight point to Edger-
toms selection. The town is already
full of Fourth of July visitors. All
business houses are gally decorated,
and the grand celebration may be said
to have already begun.
