Dennelly Wants a Known Man.
There are large number of delegates to
the Peoples convention. Their total is
1776, and of these most all were in town
last night, and the question of who would
be the nominee was the one they were
all discussing. The general drift of opin-
ion seemed to be that the first place
should go to the west and the second to the
south. "Cyclone" Davis, Of Texas, had
many friends for the second place, but
there was also much opposition to him.
The feeling among southern delegates
seemed to be strong against Gresham.
They think he is "too much of Repub-
lican," as one said, to be trusted A. J.
Streeter and wife, of Illinois, arrived yes
terday. Streeter is not doing much talk
ing but he is for Gresham for president.
Ignatius Donnelly on Hand.
The National committee has selected
C. G. Ellington, of Georgia, as temporary
chairman. Ignatius Donnelly, chairman
of the Minnesota delegation, arrived ahead
of it yesterday morning. He said: Eve

Sentiment Turning to Gresham.
The sentiment for Gresham developed
rapidly yesterday until last night two
thirds of the delegates seemed to be in his
favor. and only waiting for a definite as
surance from him that he will accept if
nominated. They are willing to wait for
this until Monday, if they have to. Gen
eral Weaver says that he does not want
the nomination. 1t is the friends of GEN
eral Weaver who are most urgent in call
ing for an assurance from Gresham.
Weaver Against the Field.
1t is Weaver against the field, with the
indication that the field will win. There
is not the slightest doubt that Gresham
can have the nomination if he will take it.
Many of the state delegations arriving in
the afternoon floated Gresham banners.
Mrs. Diggs is for Davis.
Anna L. Digs, secretary of the Citi-
zens' National Industrial alliance of
Washington, ID. c., arrived yesterday
morning and was much sought after by
the various delegates. The District viii

Mrs. Diggs was heard to express decided
opinion in favor of Congressman Davis, of
Kansas, for president. She claims that
the man to be elected must be one whose
position on all questions now at issue be-
fore the people is known.

NEW YORK, July 2.-The Inman line
steamship City of Chicago went ashore on
the Irish coast yesterday morning. She
sailed from this port June % with 1919
cabin passengers. The voyage across the
Atlantic was Uneventful. After passing
Browhcad about $50 yesterday morning
the vessel encountered dense fog. The
steamship felt her way along with the
usual precautions until near the old head
OF kinsale, and within short distance of
Queenstown harbor. when suddenly a
harsh, grating sound and jar of the'ship
from stem to stern told that the bottom
had been touched.
Passengers Got on Safely.
Attempts TO back off were in vain and it
"as seen that the ship was stuck for a
time at least. Most of the passengers
were up, and though there was some an
prehension there was no panic. The off
GERS were cool and assured the passengers
there was no danger A party of officers
went ashore and telegraphed to Queens
town and tugs soon arrived and tried to
pull the ship off, but could not. The pas
senge-s were then taken ashore in boats
and forwarded to Queenstown. The shin
will have to be lightened and perhaps dis
mantled to get her off.

THE MEN THINK DIFFERENTLY.

They Say the Cut viii BE 10 Per Cent.
and in Some Cases 40 Per Cent.
At 10 a. IN. yesterday a notice was posted
at the entrance to the company's Office at
Homestead enjoining all employees from
the highest to the lowest that they would
be paid off in full between the hours of
noon and 5 o'clock. About 1000 men in
all will receive their money and also no
tices of discharge. A member of the adj
visory board of locked out workmen said
yesterday: "Mr. Tricks statement that
only 2S6 men were affected by the new
scale is mistake. Every man in the
mill suffees by it and we can prove it. The
general reductions in all departments
range from to 20 per cent. and in some as
high as 40 per cent"
Established a State of Siege.
Five hundred scouts are now guarding
Homestead against the approach of would.
be workers, and the town is now an i'm
pregnable Gibraltar These picket lines
extend to the opposite of the river. The
men doing guard duty, it is said are
armed to abe teeth. Each of the entrances
to the mill property is guarded by force
of fifty men. All affics clerks, watchmen
and superintendent of departments are
permitted to go and come unmolested.
None other, however, dare to even attempt
to enter within the gates.
Threaten to Burn Property.
1t is rumored that two boats are being
loaded in Lower Allegheny City with cots
for use of the Braddock men when thew
get into Homestead. The men say til at a
huge bonfire is certain to occur if the at
tempt is made to land them. Last night a
large calliope steam whistle, to be used by
the men as general alarm was erected in
town.
Held a Fruitless Conference.
A conference between the men and man
ufacturers was held yesterday, but agreed
ON nothing except to meet again next
week. There is in the aggregate at this
time 1OO, 900 men out of work in the mills

GATHERING OF THE DELEGATES.

Inc sentiment as to the ominee-The
Gresham Committee.
OMAHA, July 1.-The following state
ment has been published here regarding
the proposition to make Gresham the
nominee of the Peoples party. 1--WE, the
undersigned members of the Peoples par
ty of America, called upon Judge Walter
Q. Gresham, at his residence, 26O2 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, on the night of June %,
1892. This pleasant conference lasted over
an hour, and during the time numerous
addresses were made by various members
OF the Peoples party, in which every
member declared his desire that Judge
Gresham should be the Peoples party
nominee for president To these express
sions Judge Gresham made no dissent,
He Didn't Say He Wouldn't.
"While he did not, and could not as a self
respecting man, accept nomination
which this committee had no authority to
offer, he did not as he could properly have
done, say 4 will not accept the nomination
of the Peoples party at Omaha Judge
Gresham is statesman distinguished for
his high sense of honor. If it was out of
the question for him to accept the Peoples
party nomination for president, he is
precisely the grand, true man to have told
the committee 90 in clear and unmis-
taxable language. He would not have
allowed them to leave his presence under
any doubt or delusion on that question.
Makes 1t Matter of Honor.
'But what were the circumstances Of
the case? Judge Gresham, in the course of
long and frank conversation, declared
himself heartily in sympathy with all the
essential principles of the Peoples party
He did not refuse to be its presidential
nominee, but allowed ,he committee to 20
away believing that he would accept if the
honor were rendered him by the cOnven-
ton. Would an honorable man have done
this if he did not mean to accept the
nomination?
The Logical Conclusion.
"He would not, and Judge Gresham is
known to the entire land rs. the soul of
honor. Consequently, he would accept the
nomination of the Peoples party if honor
ably offered him. This is the firm convic-
tion of the undersigned Peoples party
men, all of whom were present on the &C.
casion in question:

we know that Judge Gresham will accept.
We know that he stated to a committee
that he could conscientiously accept the
nomination on the st. Louis platform"
