showed gains the corridors resouDded
with cl GERS. 1t soon became apparent,
however, mat the 60 nmittee was CO.
quoting with several cities. When on
the first ballot Kansas City led its adj
herents gave wild Western cheer On
the third ballot, when San Francisco re-
celved fifteen votes, the number of
people who wanted to visit the
golden gate would doubtless even
have appalled, the generous Cali
fOrnians. st. PauFs hopes were
rlised by leading in the fourth ballot by
10 votes, only to be dashed on the sub
sequent ballots. Perhaps the worst col
lapse was that of Detroit, which on the
sixth ballot received 10. while on the
next 1t dropped to l. indianapolis,
hopes were raised on the eighth ballot
Only to disappear from the contest on
the next ballot, when she received l
vote. The men from Milwaukee were,
perhaps, the nolsest and rent the
air when the Badger state received
20 votes on the ninth ballot. When
on the fifteenth ballot it was announced
that Chicago had 81 votes and the con-
ventiOn, the crowd in the corridors
were fairly struck dumb. That a city
which had not even asked for the CON
vention, should be selected was mex
plicable.
The resignation of Mr.. Mitchell, the
member of the committee from Wiscon-
sin, was accepted. The committee then
adjourned to meet in Chicago June 20
next.

EVERYBODY IS SORE,
And Chicago Is Freely Charged
With Treachery.
Special to the Globe

Epeclal 10 The Globe
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Chicago gets
the convention. For two days this has
been the growing conviction, and
shrewd politicians freely predicted it all
day. Chairman Brice, though he threw
complimentary ballots here and there,
was for Chicago on the specious plea
that it alone could properly handle the
crowd, Chicago gets it, but Washington
tonight contains a sore crowd. Had it
gone to St. Paul, Milwaukee, De-
troit or Kansas City nobody would
have felt sore, but now every
delegation cheriShes the belief that Chi
cago lured them into the fight with
promise TO keep out, and then came in
and walked off with the prize. Now
these disappointed boomers arge going
about swearing vengeance against a
worlds fair appropriation. Milwau-
kee is SOreSt of them all. Never city
made more gallant fight, and though
the situation was such that it could
never have won, yet 1t fought hard and
now lays its defeat at the door of Chi
cago's treachery. If the votes of ST.
Paul could at any time have elected
Milwaukee they would have been
thrown there.
But part of Milwaukee's vote was
complimentary and would have de
serted when the danger point was
reached. The managers of the commit
tee had the body we'll in hand, and, after
giving fatteringyotes to every city in the
ring, cOolly made Chicago the choice. The
one vote that stayed by ST. Paul to the
end was that of Mr. Doran, and it is a
matter of pride to know that the galaxy
of states to the west of Minnesota stood
with the SANITY City against all en-
treaty. The two Dakotas and Montana
never wavered, and had other friends
of St. Paul had the same stamina the
result might have been different. Mil
waukee would have swung her strength
to us but for that fatal hotel mistake at
Minneapolis, and Chicago would
have been baffied, but the ar
gument that we had neither hotels
nor auditorium was unanswerable.

SHAKER SCOUNDRELS.
Gross Immoralities and Abuses
Charged.

B0SToN. Jan. 21.-Ihe Herald prints
four-column special article charging
immoralities and abuse against the
elders at the Alfred. Me-, Shaker
settlement. The principal informant
appears to be Father Browner, of
Brighton, Mass, who recently escaped
from the settlement after a five weeks
stay. -Four other girls have escaped
recently, and report improper proposals
made them, and that for attempting
to escape and other offenses they
were subjected to brutal whipping and
solitary confinement for almost two
weeks with only bread and water to eat
and their clothes almost entirely re-
moved to allow wounds on their backs
to heal.
The Herald says: "Many Alfred men
and women admit the truth of what the
five girls have said. Doctors have re-
marked the illegal operations, boys have
spoken of wrong practices, girls have
told OF indignitieS, and Legitimate
children now live not ten miles from the
settlement"
Esther Brownor said that she ran
away because she had seen children
Whippings they had received, because
she was told by one of the elders that
il they caught her trying to run
away she would be so fixed that she
would never be able to try it again, and
because of improper proposals which
were made to her by members in the
family. 1t is also asserted that no mem,
Der of the community can send a
letter TO friends unless it is first in
spected by an elder; that deceit has
been practiced to keep young women
Loo
the elders have sought to ruin one
man vino assisted girl to escape;
that leading doctor of the town admits
having been called to attend women in
the community who were suffering for
the sins of others, and that certain I'M
fortunate young women have attributed
their fall to the men OF the settlement.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The claims

Two years ago we redeemed Michigan

was handsomely decorated for the occa-

flags and branches of green, and each

Down Oh one side ran long table for the
accommodation of the newspaper men,

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-

sorts of wild rumors were float

tail trades and swaps that had
been made, but it was impossible to
substantiate 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

room and took seats upon the platform.
Duncan S. Walker, secretary of
the district committee, opened the
ball without any prelminaries what
ever, by simply Introducing Commits

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.

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.''
Indianians at the Arlington declared
that MI Erwin ana those who approved
the announcement clearly exceeded
their authority as members of the dele
cation in making such a 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 |,
Democrat, have to come here to Wash
ington and withdraw Mr.. Harrison.
The action was ili-advised and unjusti-
fable. 1t would tend to create tue i'm
preston that the party in his own state
is against Gov. Gray, when, as matter
of fact it will support him solidly."

strangers entered the United Express

The first man asked the agent if there

WASHINGTON, Jan. q. - Well, st.
Paul was not in it. and the mossback
s:aEeat OF the city may thank itself.
The work of st. Paul at home was like
a slap in the face to the admirable COM
mittee doing such splendid hustling
here. This mornings New York
World. which reached here at 10 a. H.,
had a dispatch from st. Paul that
the auditorium had been enioined
and would not be built. An
hour afterward every World had been
bought up and clipped,an by the time
the convention met there was not q 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

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

who thought st. Paul was in the race

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.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-When the
battle was over Mr.. Doran joined the
delegation in their private parlors.
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 a 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 a 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 revenged.

impression seemed general that the
