WORLD OF POLITICS
The Conference of Leading Re-
publicans Postponed.
IF NOMINATED BLAINE WILL RUN
A California Man is interviewed In New York
The Delegates from that State Will Be
for Blaine from Start to Finish.

New YORK, May 27-The important con-
ference between Messrs. Platt, Clarkscn.
Quay, Fassett and other anti-Hsrrison
place in this city, has been postponed and
will not come off until the delegates get to
Minneapolis 1t was fully intended, few
days ago, when Clarkson went to Wash
ington, to hold the conference in this city
this week and to include the leaders in the
anti-Harrison movement from any section
OF the country.
General Clarkson experienced some diff
fculty in rounding up the leaders, it is
said. He found that only q few of them
could take the time necessary to come to
this city, and hence 1t was decided to post
pone the matter until they get to Mime
apolis, where all of the leaders will be
present and it will not be necessary to talk
through proxies.
Clarkson telegraphed that he would be
here today, and he will be in time to see
Mr. Blaine before be leaves town. Mr..
F'assett is also expected here Saturday.
1--WE are perfectly satisfied with the sit
uation,' said prominent Platt Republican
tonight. The nomination of Mr.. Blaine is
as certain as anything can be in the future.
For my self, l am absolutely confident OF
IL, and the question of Mr.. Blaine's accept
ance is settled too. We know that he will
not refuse the nomination. He is not a
candidate, but he is willing to make PER
sonal sacrifice for his party, and therefore
has consented to make the fight if nomln-
ated. You can state that fact positively
that it is the programme of the anti-Har-
rison Republicans to nominate Blaine in
| spite of himselfn

Another Renort.

KANSAS CRY, May 27.-The Times special
from Wellington, Kan, says the cyclone
YVES terribly destructive. At II O'Clock
fifteen persons were known to have been
killed and an investigation of the wrecked
buildings only barely commenced. The
cyclone did not do much damage until IL
reached the center Of the town. On Jeffsr-
son avenue it destroyed the Lutheran
church. Furious work was done within
compass of four squares, bounded by
Jefferson avenue, Avenue G and Seventh
and Ninth streets. Every building in those
two squares was demolished and wrecked.
Fortunately the residences in that locality
were numerous, otherwise the loss of life
would have been much greater
Phillips hotel was demolished and seven
dead bodies taken from the ruins. The
work Of rescue there has only Just begun.
The house was well filled with guests and
| the loss of life Is thought to be great. The
destruction in the northeast part Of the
city is great, but definite details cannot
now be had. Great confusion prevails
everywhere.

OVER THE OCEAN.
The Question of DissoIving Par.
lament Being Agitated.
Goschen's Acceptance of the Invitation to the
Monetary Conference Meets With
Adverse Comment.

LONDON, May 21.- Copyrighted by the
New York Associated Press. The cabinet
council convened today for the special pur-
pose OF determining the date of dissolution
of parliament. The bulk OF the Conserva-
tive election agents are of the opinion that
tits urgently necessary to dissolve parlia-
ment within month, as was the case with
the Unionists members.
Prior to the council number of mem
bers had an interview with Balfour, and i'm
pressed upon them the necessity of settling
the question without delay. The almost
unanimous representations made advised
the dissolution either to take place at the
end of June or be postponed until the
spring of 1893. The tenor of the COM
munications made after the council ad-
journed indicates that it is the decision of
the government to proceed with the Irish
local government bill and the abandon
ment of the intention to resort to dissolu-
ton.
Balfour promises definite declaration
this evening of Whitsuntide adjourn
ment
The decision will enrage the opposition,
who, without delay, will resort to every
device to obstruct government business,
but a majority of the Unionists will ap-
prove it, though it will embarrass many.
If the conservative anticipations, taking
from tonight, be fulfilled no Gladstone
government will be possible till the end of
the spring of 1893. and no home rule till
1894, or while Balfour's local government
measure is having clear year to operate,
which must complicate Gladstone's task in
creating new Irish administration.
Reliable authority tells the Associated
Press that Goschen's acceptance of the in
vitation to the international monetary con-
ference met with adverse comment from
some of the cabinet members. The op-
ponents hope that certain influences now
being used with European governments
will prevent their sending delegates.
They insist if the programme commits
| England to anything Goschen should even
now withdraw the acceptance.
! High financial houses in London, Berlin
and Vienna oppose the conference.
John Redmond, who leaves Sunday for
! America, intends to remain only week.
He hopes to explain the position OF his
party to the Irish-Americans and refute
the cable reports sent by the enemies OF
the cause.
The proposed programme for a congress
of the chambers of commerce of the en-
pire will include considerable protectionist
agitation. The proposed resolutions favor
commercial union of tho empire; estab-
lishment of differential rates between
Great Britain and the colonies; preference
for home products against foreign; Great
Britain to grant discriminating tariff
against grain international monetary
union, with unification Of the currency 81
the empire. From present indications the
gathering will be the greatest trade de
monstration ever held in Great Britain
1t is announced that the queen has offered
Salisbury dukedom in the event of his
retiring from power, but it is doubtful il
the premier will accept the honor.

''Now that is all right for Senator Stan

did the California delegation vote at the
last national convention! She threw her
eighteen votes solidly for Blaine, even
when they felt certain he was not going to
run. Knowing as they do today that
Blaine will accept if the nomination is
rendered, do you think they are going to
desert him?

that Blaine first. last and all the time is
our motto"
How do the Californians feel toward

"Oh, we like him in negative sort of

only medium. He would naturally receive
our vote after Blaine, but Blaine is the
man, and from the present outlook here in
