and place for holding the Democratic
convention that is to nominate the can
didate for president. The banquet room
was handsomely decorated for the occa-
sion. Around the walls were hung
flags and branches of green, and each
of the large arches had a couple of
American flags fastened to the gas
fixtures in the center. The floor was
carpeted in dull green, and at
one side of the room. between two win
dows, was placed a raised dais for the
officers and speakers of the meeting.
Down Oh one side ran long table for the
accommodation of the newspaper men.
who were present by the score. Around
the corridors of the hotel and
in the various headquarters all
was hustle and activity during
the morning hours. Everybody was
claiming everything in sig hit, but nobody
seemed to know anything definite about
anything at all. Each of the cities eX-
pressed the greatest confidence and sat
isfactiOn with the situation. All
sorts of wild rumors were float
ing about that described in de-
tail trades and swaps that had
been made, but it was impossible to
Substantlate any of them or TO ascertain
their origin. The open meeting of the
committee at noon lasted just seven
minutes. A few minutes after the Off
GERS of the committee entered into the
room and took seats upon the platform.
Duncan S. Walker, secretary of
the district committee. opened the
ball without any preliminaries what
ever, by simply Introducing Commits
sioner Boss to make the address of well
come. There was an address in reply.
and then Chairman Brice called upon
the secretaly to call the roll of the COM
mlttee by the states, and this showed
that all the states and territories were
represented either by regular members
or by proxies.

AN UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT
Creates Feeling in the Indiana
Delegation.

Delegation.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Some ill-feel-
ing was created in the Indiana delega-
ton by the formal announcement given
to the press by d. p. Erwin
Wednesday regarding ex-Gov. Gray's
candidacy for president. Mr.. Erwin is
president of the Indianapolis board of
trade, and happens to. be Republican.
10 combat the argument that the con-
vention would be packed with Gray
men he made the following statement:
LAS an earnest that indianapolis is
GAS an assurance of assisting any local
candidate we will agree to vest
in the national committee the exclusive
control of the convention hall and the
regulations of admittance. 1t will then
be impossible to pack the convention in
the interest of Gray or anybody else
We have no candidate for the presi-
dency. and if the convention be
held in Minneapolis, neither Gray
nor any other Indiana man
has any change of nomination, because
every political object would be accom-
plished by merely holding the conven-
ton in that state. Give indianapolis
the convention and Indiana will be in
the Democratic column next fall.''
Indianfans at the Arlington declared
that Mr.. Erwin ana those who approved
the announcement clearly exceeded
their authority as members of the dele
cation in making such statement. and
Hon. Will A. Poole, chief of the Indiana
bureau of statistics, expressed his dis
approval more strongly by saying:
.'Mr. Erwin being a Republican had
no more right to withdraw Gov. Gray
from the presidential race than |, a
Democrat, have to come here to Wash
lngton and withdraw Mr.. Harrison.
The action was ili-auvised and unjusti-
fable. 1t would tend to create the i'm
preston that the party in his own state
is against Gov. Gray, when, as matter
of fact it will support him solidly."

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. Well, st.
Paul was not in it, and the mossback
s!eneat OF the city may thank itself.
The work of st. Paul at home was like
slap i'll the face to the admirable COM
mlttee doing such splendid hustlng
here. This mornings New York
World. which reached here at 10 a. M,
had a dispatch from st. Paul that
the auditorium had been enjoined
and would not be built. An
hour afterward every World had been
bought up and clipped, and by the time
the convention met there was not COM
mitteeman who did not know it. From
that time st. Paul was practically out of
the race. Every objection that could
be hurled against st. Paul piled into
the one charge of
Want Of Accommodations.
and it killed US. After the fight was
over various members friendly to ST.
Paul sought out the delegation and ex-
planned that it was the fact of no hall,
coupled with the Minneapolis hotel cpl
sode, that defeated us. st. Paul can
blame no one for the result but itself
and Minneapolis, and no apology it
can make the returning delegation can
compensate for the handicaps piled
upon it. The telegram in this mornings
GLOBE Will come back with force now,
and lis truth was made apparent. There
is not a newspaper man in Washington
who thought st. Paul was in the race
after the way Minneapolis treated them,
nor was there one who did not take
every opportunity to say in his paper
that no second Minnesota city should be
able to treat their requests as had Min
neapolis. There is no use crying over
spilled milk, but Minnesota people must
look facts in the face and place the
blame where it belongs.

MILWAUKEE WANTS REVENGE
Because St. Paul Didn't Come
Over After the Twelfth.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-When the
battle was over Mr.. Doran joined the
delegation in their private parIors.
There was nothing to do but
present the Grafton over a
dead hope and pay the funeral
expenses. Down in the various head
quarters the excitement during the
evening was intense. When the fourth
ballot showed st. Pau. in the lead
the enthusiasm knew no bounds,
but the next turn of the wheels
dashed their hopes. Milwaukee
was similarly excited, and not until
the last ballot was cast did its lusty
boomers believe it could be beaten.
When the twelfth was announced the
Milwaukeeans made frantic appeal to
st. Paul to come to the rescue and give
them majority, but it was easily
apparent to the friends of st. Paul
that to make such move would
be only to end st. Paul's chances, while
not aiding the neighboring city. Mil
waukee refused to be comforted and
later into the morning paraded the lob
bies of the Arlington devising means to
be reyenged.

ST. PAUL's ONLY VICTORY.

its. All over the hotel the
Impression seemed general that the
fight to certain extent had narrowed
down to these two Northwestern hust-
lerS, and interest was intense. Every
body knew the first significant test of
strength would take place Oh the Mon
tana contest between DR.. A. H. Mitch
ell and Col. &. o. Broadwater, the for
mer popularity supposed to reresent
Milwaukee and the latter St. Paul.
Jhe situation there was: Mitchell had
been the territorial representative
named in 1888, but when the state was
organized party reorganization fol-
lowed, and it was agreed in the party
That McGlnnis and Clark were to be the
senatorial candidates, Toole for gov
ernor, Marcus Daily for chairman
of the state committee and Broad
water for the national committee,
DE-. Mitchell was party to this agree
ment and everything was satisfactory
until both men turned up here to re-
present the state. 1t was the first cues
ton before the committee. and resulted
in selecting Broadwater. Senator Villas
who got in on the Idaho proxy,
made an appeal for Mitchell,
which fell rather fat upon the
committee. Mr.. Doran, of Minnesota,
made a blunt, telling speech. He said
he had gone to Montana to represent
the national committee and had assisted
III the arrangement given above. He
eulogiZed Col. Broadwater, and deli
cateiy touched upon the fact that it was
his liberal check which secured
the organization that resulted III
the Democratic victory that fall.
The verdict of the committee
was overwhelming, and their motion to
seat BroadWater carried by significant
majority. This soon leaked out of the
committee room and carried consterna-
ton to the Milwaukee contingent and
| corresponding elatIon to the Minnesota
hustlerS. Milwaukee men blamed it
upon Villas, and said that it
was mistake to have put
him in the committee room
Others said it was measure of strength
between the Cleveland and anti-Cleve-
land wings, and the latter had secured
the victory, in either case disastrous to
Milwaukee. Whichever theory was
right it was regarded every where as a
substantial st. Paul victory and sent an
electric thrill of hope through their
breasts. The Minnesota headquarters
were filled with jubilant partisans,
while the Badger rooms across the hall
wore depressed and deserted look.

strangers entered the United Express
company's Office. One of them stepped
n front of the desk while the
other walked up to the stove

The first man asked the agent if there

claimed was sick at the hotel. Brubaker
began search, and while his back was
turned to the man at the stove reached
around the wire screen at the end and
grabbed a package containing $4,000.
The agent did not discover the theft
until several minutes later, when he
gave the alarm. A horse and sleigh
awaiting the owner at Reddick, III.
eighteen miles east of here, is the only
clue to the thieves.

BUCHARD WAS DEAD.
A RailrOader's Strange Explana

CLAYTON, ILL.,, Jan. 21.-Considerable
comment has been caused in rail
road circles here over the sta e.
ment,, by Fireman Edward Warbler,
who was on the Inflated west-bound
Wabash "Cannon-ball' express that
dashed into the east-bound express at
Aladdin. near East Hannibal about
a week ago. Engineer Burchard, of
that train was killed, and all the rail
road men wondered how so careful
man as he could have run by the switch
in the fog as he did. Warbler, who is
recovering from hurts received in the
wreck, says that Burchard was un-
doubtedly dead in his cab before reach
ing the switch. having died of heart dis
ease soon after leaving Hull. This
Warbler now believes, as Burchard did
not take his head from the window once
after leaving Hull station. Railroad
men generally credit the story.

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-As sort of side

After Lowitz was held to the criminal
court by Justice Brayton on the charges
of stealing Baldwin & Farnum's trad
ing cards, and attempting to blackmail
his former employers, Leopold Bloom,

such epithets as "thief," ''liar'' and

friends, Bloom retiring, it is said, with
the statement that an innocent man.

Francisco, he said, that applied to no
other city named. Those reasons were
especially political reasons. If there

must be campaign of enthusiasm. Let
the convention come to California and

FUTURE.

London Truth, Labouchere's paper,
publishes an article on Canada's
future drawn out by the troubles
in Quebec. Truth says: at is mani
fest that it is the destiny Of the Do
minion to become a new United
States or TO become attached to the
Great Republic. The change is in
evitable, and the sooner it occurs the
better. The emancipation of the
grotesque Dominion and its absorption
by the United States would be a bene-
fit to the Canadians and also to Great
Britain. Such a curse would relieve
Great Britain Of the necessity OF en-
gazing in transatlantic squabbles in
which she has no concern. IL would,
moreover, give Canadians an energy
and enterprise which no other ~colonists
can possess. The only sufferers would
be the Indians, who would be trans
ferred to the tender mercies OF what is
probably the most corrupt and ras-
cally institution on earth-the Wash
ington Indian Bureau" The paper
further says that Canada, once free,
Australia would soon follow. The
talk Of Australia loyalty to the British
Crown, Truth says, is all buncombe.
