Mr.. BRYAN SAT UPON.
Silver Sentiment Repressed for the
Sake of Cleveland.
THE NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS
Wind Up Their State Conventional Sharp
Demand Made Upon Gov. Boyd =
Bryan's Silver Plank Killed by the
Committee ON Resolutions.

OMAHA, Neb., April 1.-THE Demo
cratic State Convention closed last night
after an almost continuous session Of
thlrty-six hours.
The delegates were solid throu ghout
for Cleveland. Gov. James K. Boyd Is re-
garded in Nebraska as the hope OF the
Democratic party, but as some malicious
person had started the report that he was
hostile to the ex-President, the convention
arose as one man and declared that his
position must be defined towards the ma
tional leader before further proceedings.
Then Boyd issued card expressing un-
qualified devotion to the prophet of Lake
wood, and was thereupon received back
into favor.
This resolution was adopted by the con-
vention. and the delegation to the national
convention left uninstructed

and bost candidate for President.
The committee on resolutions agreed on
tariff reform and the other principles of
the party, as set forth in the national plat
form Of 1888, but when the question of
free and unlimited coinage of silver was
sprung by Congressman Bryan, he re-
ceived cold and dunsympathetic response.
Bryan made vigorous speech in favor
of a silver resolution. and after hot de-
bate lasting three hours the roll was
called. The silver men, believing they
were victorious, raised a great shout.
When Chairman Beatty announced the
defeat of the resolution by 229 to 247 pan
demonium broke loose. The silver men
made a rush for the stage, and mounting
the reporters table, they shrieked that
they were beaten by fraud.
Fifty men were struggling on the plat
form at one time, but finally quiet was re-
stored and the result Of the vote was an
nounced was verified.

The ELECTION TO-DAY.
Both Parties Trying for Senator and
Representatives.
THE VOTE UNUSUALLY SMALL.
In Some OF the Wards at o'clock IL Was
Scarcely Moro Than Half what 1t
Was on April 0-Ms n Forgot to Vote.

The election to-day for the State senator
and nine representatives who failed TO get
majorities at the regular State election
was quite q slow affair. The day was a
good Democratic one to begin with but
later the weather proved more favorable,
still the voting was very slow and very
little interest was taken in it on either
side as far as the returns showed.
OF course it was not supposed that the
vote would be large as at the regular
election, but it proved to be scarcely half
rs large, which was more or less of a sur
prise to both partiss.
The following figures are samples of
the vote at 2 O'clock: First ward, S25-
April 8, at same hour, 1910; Second ward.
s83-April 8, 1,2S7; Fourth ward, 6S2-
April 9, OH; Sixth ward, 755-April @,
l,M7: Seventh ward, 673-April 0; 1850
The Third ward has very short vote
as have also the Ninth and Tenth. AS a
heavy vote was cast late in the afternoon,
April 9. and as there is likely to be a de-
crease of interest toward night to-day, the
vote will not be likely 10 be over two
thirds of that of the general election.
OF course Republicans and Democrats
both expect to get the Offices. but the
chances are that the former will get the
Senator and at least four or five Repre-
sentatives out of IL.
Everything has been unusually quiet
to-day and one would scarcely know that
there was an election il be did not see the
carriages and the small groups of people
around the voting places. A good many
people forgot to vote until reminded OF

HIS CHARGES AGAINST BOURKE
The Captain OF the Third Cavalry Accused
of Maltreating Suspected Adhercnts of
the Mexican Revolutionist-A Long list
of Crueltias Alleged Against Him.
ray LEASED WIRE TO ruE Nrws.l

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April.-There ar
rived at the capital yesterday afternoon a
man giving the name of r. l.. Summerlin
of San Antonio, Tex. He announced him
self as attorney for Cara, the revolution
ist, and said that he had come to Wash
ington to get justice from the Congress Of
the United States.
"When the half has been told" said
Mr.. Summerlin, 1T will send a shudder
through the civilized world. l have
brought with me from Texas over fifty
affidavits made by reputable citizens
charging the most wanton cruelty on the
part of Captain Bourke.
Refusing people water TO drink, strik-
ing an old gentlemen in the face with his
fist, dragging mother from her two
months old babe and choking and beating
has since lost his mind" are
some of the acts with which
Capt. Bourke is charged. When asked
what he regarded as the worst charge in
all these true afidavits made against
Bourke, he said: 1.-THE worst one seems
to me TO be the charge that he took n
mother from her two months old babe
and forced her to march n long distance to
the camp, where she was put through
rigid examination.
"But the refusal to allow the Gonzeal's
family to have drinking water from their
own well was equally inhuman."
Summerlin says he will producs Cara
at the proper time. On arriving In Wash
ington Mr.. Summerlin went Immediately
to Representative Grain of Texas and to-
gether they drew up this resolution:
WHEREAS. II is alleged upon many aiildavits that
Captain John q bourke OF the THIRD United States
Caval y, has been guilty OF cruel and Outrageous
tfeatmen OF citizens OF Texas therefore be IL
Resolved That the committee on military anairs

sustained, and N they are sustained In their
opin.on upon competent evidence, the committee
snail deem necessary
This resolution was introduced in the
House yesterday afternoon by Mr.. Grain,
military affairs. A similar resolution will
be introduced, according TO Mr.. Summer
lin, in the Senate this afternoon, proba-
bly, by Mr.. Mills.

ESPECIAL CABLE TO THE NEws.I
CARACAS, April 15.-Word has just been
received here of the capture by the revolu-
tionists of two government vessels, which
were loaded with arms and ammunitions
of war for the government forces.
This is regarded by Gen. Crespo's fol-
lowers as great stroke of good luck, as
arms and ammunition are what the in
surgents have been so anxious to secure
The capture Of the vessels was a great
surprise to their commanders, who were
proceeding leisurely on their way to
friendly port when the warship hove in
sight. bore down upon them and got po-
session of the vessels without struggle.
Shortly after the capture of the govern
ment vessels the revolutionists were
further rejoiced to learn that in two skir-
mishes with Palacio's troops their advance
guard had won decided victories. Their
triumph is ascribed to the fact that they
were well armed. Under such conditions 1t
is believed that the insurgents are more
than match for the discontented and
poorly paid government soldiers.
The Ncirs has increased the feeling OF
uneasiness and despondency in Caracas
among Palacios partisaus and strength
ened the cause of his enemies.
