WASHINGTON. Nov. 28.-Thera was hustle
and confusion at the Arlington hotel this
morning before the meeting of the repub-
lican national committee. Tie leaders of
the delegations prepared themselves for a
presentation to the committee of the super
ior merits OF their respective cities, and
were engaged in canyassing the list OF COM
mitteemen and holding up the hopes of
their delegations. Mckinley and Foraker
were conspicuous among the many persons
thronging the lobbies and corridors and
were everywhere greeted with marked con-
sideration. The members of the commit
tee itself were slow in getting together, II
O'Clock being the hour appointed for the
meeting, but ut that time not more than a
dozen members we're present in the hall,
By 11:30 the doors were closed upon all but
the members and the committee held a
secret session.
The committee was called together by
Acting Chairman Clarkson. every state and
territory being represented except New
Mexico, whose delegate was detained on

acceptance of the resignation of Chairman

About three weeks ago Gov. Hovey started
on pleasure trip through the west and

DICTATOR RESIGNS.

T0nseca Finds His Position Untenable-
Probable Eject.
LONDON, Nov. 23-Dispatches from Rio
Janeiro this afternoon bring news that the
opposition TO Fonseca gathered sufficient
force to break through all barriers and
make itself master of tho situation. All
that is known is that the uprising was so
formidable that FonSeca considered it inn
possible longer to maintain the ascendancy
and surrendered his authority. In "fesign-
ing" as he called it, he declared
that he did 30 in favor OF F. Coriano
Piexotto. the vice president or vice chief OF
the provincial government OF which Fonseca
was the head. Whether the opposition will
be content to allow Piexotto, about whom
little is known here, to assume the leader
ship of state, ia not known, but it is
not believed he will be permitted
to act as chief executive. even
temporarily, unless in sympathy with the
revolutionary movement. Rio Janeiro is
in state of great excitement, but reports
do not indicnte mob law and serious dis
order. The uprising, however, had the ef-
fsct OF putting stop for the time being to
all kinds of business. News that Fonseca
had resigned spread through the city
like wildtire, everywhere received with
enthusiastic cheers and exclamations OF
satisfaction. The provinces have not yet
been heard from, but it is believed news of
the dictator's downfall will everywhere be
received with the same satisfaction az at
the capital. The revolution ut Rio de Ja-
neiro only broke out this morning and it's
work was quickly accomplished.

y PITTsBURG, Nov. GA storm of great
violence came over the city this morning,
k'oing great damage and injuriug several
persons, one, is thought, fatally. From all
parts of Pittsburg and Allegheny come re-
ports of damage by the storm. Houses
were blown down or unroOfed, trees and
signs broken down, and telegraph poles
torn up and wires broken. The
west end of building in course of COLI
struction was blown down, crushing a small
dwelling house adjoining. The occupants
escaped, but Mrs. PEBBLES, who was pre-
pairing dinner in the kitchen, WAS prob
ably fatally injured. A number Of acci-
Cured, but so far as reported they are not
of serious nature. Telephone and tele-
graph wires are prostrated all over the city
and communication was cut Oft from all
points for three hours. The streets are
flooded by heavy rain.
The storm had disastrous effect upon
derricks in the oil fields. Old as we'll ns
new derricks were blown down. and nearly
all districts within fifty miles OF PittsburR
suffered to a greater or less extent fl ON the
storm. Losses to oil men are roughly esti-
mated at $250,000.
At midnight high wind was still pre-
vailing and it was alternately raining and
showing Communication by telegraph
was still cut off from the east. All wires of
tho Western Union and Postal companies
were prostrated between Pittsburg and
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and
New York. The same condition prevails
north, while west and south the wires are
working, but very poorly.

rope The results of the discussions will go
long way toward bringing free silver coin
age. Senator Stewart made great speech
for silver. one that will not ba forgotten.
There was brisk rivalry among several
cities for the next congress. Cleveland,
Ohio. wanted it and so did Deadwood, while
the Salt Lake people Thought they had
everything cut and dried. 1t was secured
for Helena largely through good work by
Gov. Hauser, ". A. Clark, George W. IT.
vine IT,, and other delegates. The Butte
men did royal work. Senator Stewart was
for Helena all the time. The Salt Lake
people expected to carry their town through
the convention, but by little political
shrewdness the selection was referred to
the vice presidents, and then Helena loomed
up and won.'

SCHOOLBOY KILLED.
Sad Accident to Il Lad on q Spokane Play
Ground.

Sad Accident to u Lad on a Spokane Play
Ground.
SPOKANE, Nov. 23.-[ Especial. IA sad and
peculiar accident occurred at the franklin
public school in this city at 12:45 this after
noon. by which Eugene Boil ock. the 6.year-
old son of Max Bollock, well-known citi-
zen, lost his life. Several boys were en-
gnged in game called ''zipsticks," pas
time popular in the noon hour. The game
is played with two sticks. One about five
inches long, sharpened at each end, is
placed in hole made in the ground and
one end Of it is struck by longer stick,
causing it to fly in the air, and the trick is
to strike it before it reaches the ground.
This game was being played as usual to-day
by some of the larger boys. Little Eugene
was just returning from his noon lunch
when the stick was struck by one of the
boys, and in flying it struck him in the
wind pipe. The little fellow walked few
steps and fell. When picked up there was
small blue spot on his throat and he WAS
unable TO speak. Within thirty minutes he
was dead.

with Exceeding Great Joy.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 23.-This city is wild
with delight and excitement tonight over
the announcement that Minneapolis has
secured the national republican convention.
All evening the Tribune office was besioged
with inquiries. Owing to the storm the
news was slow in reaching this city. Poll
ticians and business men. however, hung
around until bulletins announcing the re-
suit was received. The news spread quickly
throughout the streets and all over town
could be heard the cheers and yells Of the
excited populace. All classes, irrespective
of politics, are enthusiastic, and all will
work tooth and toe nail to properly enter
tain the delegates and crowd that will be
here at the same time. From political
standpoint it is considered most excellent
thing for the city and the entire northwest.
Dissatisfaction among gran0ers, people
here think, will be qnelled and all in all it
has been great fight for the northwest,
and Minneapolis in particular.

International Monetary Conferen ce.

PARIS, Nov. 23.-Jesse Seligman, who was
sent to Europe as representative of the
United States treasury department, with q
view to bringing about the holding of an
international conference to secure and es-
tablish common rates of value between
gold and silver, has been in this city to
secure the corporation of France. White
law Reid, American minister, presented
Seligman to Rouvier, minister of finance,
to whom SeliRman set forth the objects of
his mission. Rouvier gave Seligman cor
dial reception. He expressed his sympathy
with the proposal to bring about common
ratio between gold and silver, but he was
not willing to tnke the initiative in the
matter. He expressed the hope that Eng
land and Germany might be induced to
coperate with France to bring about a con-
ference to effect the desired end.
