but Victory is Not Yet
Assured.

LONDON, July THE leading feat
ure of today's elections were the Lib
eral victories in five of the metropolitan
districts, the defeat of cabinet minis
ter, Mr.. Ritchie, nd the triumph of the
Conservative alderman, Hamond, in
Newcastle. The successes in London
have given new heart to the Liberals.
Their failure to capture provincial bor-
onghs, where Liberal majorities was
deemed secure, made the general out
look gloomy for time. London is
atOning for all.
1t is now established beyond doubt
that many of the metropolitan districts.
especially the working class centers,
have experienced profound revulsion
of feeling, and have adopted with ardor
the main points of the Newcastle pro-
gramme. Home rule had absolutely
nothing to do with this cnange. The
platform of each of the successful can
dldates gave prominence solely to social
questions and metropolitan local re-
forms. The Progressists' programme,
which recently revolutionized the Lon
don county council, has again been
potent factor in
Ousiing the Conservatives.
Mr. Been, who defeated Minister
Ritchie. is progrcssist member of the
London county council. and he is
large employer of labor. He was backed
by the trade uniOnists. The same iniiu-
ences ruled III the Conservative defeat
in other London districts. Mr.. Ritchie's
disappearance from parliament will not
last long. He is too useful a man as a
minister to allow him to remain in
retreat.
The Tory victory in Newcastle was
largely due to revival Of the protec-
ton feeling, Alderman Hamond combin-
ing the advocacy of protective tariff
with that of the eight-hour question.
He Obtained the largest majority yet re-
corded in any constituency. When the
result was announced in the National
Liberal club the members took AN ac-
tive interest, and great excitement pre-
vailed.
Today,s results, so far as known,
though cheering to the Liberals. do NOT
practically alter the general position.
The returns from number of counties
and Irish districts will not be known
until tomorrow. These will leave the
situation still uncertain unless the re-
suits of tomorrow's polling develops
some startling changes. Saturdays
polling must be awaited before the fate
OF the parties is determined.

THE MORNING SESSION
Had the Routine Nature of All
Political Conventions.

Had the Routine Nature of All
Political Conventions.
The morning trains brought in few
delegates from the north and the west,
as we'll as a full delegation from Hen
nenin county. An hour or more was
spent in caucusing at the Clarendon,
and before going to the hall the main
points in the platform, as we'll as
the temporary organization, had all
been settled. When Chairman CARING
ton Phelps took the platform to call
the convention to order Market hall
looked rather lonely. There were not
over 150 delegates in the hall, half of
whom, at least. were strong DonneIly
mel like Andrew SteenerSon, of Polk
county; Robert Eckford, of st. Paul,
and several others. DR.. Ignatius Don
nelly Jr., the son of the Sage, who
threatens to be an exact pattern of the
Sage physically few years later. was
an interested onlOoker from the gallery.
On the floor were Senator John B.
Hompe. of Otter Tail, the vigorous anti
Donnelly senator at the last session:
Gen. j. II. Baker, Of Blue Earth; ex-
President George w. Sprague, of Fill
more; Senator Jay La Due. of Rock;
r. H. McGhee, of Chisago; Hon. Charles
VI Cuiu .h ~ iNoiASie 1s' y.
Hall, of Morris; j. B. Dukes and Prof.
w. r. Dobbyn, of Minneapolis; Capt.
George W. HaIgh, of Blue Earth, and
many others equally as we'll known.
There was not much preliminary work
left 10 be done. and, after shaking
hands with some of the late arrivals,
Chairman Phelps took the platform and
raped the second Alliance convention
to order.
'.It gives me much pleasure" he said,
''under authority of the state central
committee, TO call to order this second
convention of the Alliance party. The
committee has instructed me to present
lhe name of George w. Sprague, of
Fillmore county, tor temporary chair
man, and that of Albert Warren. of
Fillmore county, for temporary secre-
tary. The secretary will read the CALL"
This brief announcement was fol-
lowed by Secretary Warren stepping
forward and reading the call for the
convention. This was followed by an
announcement by Chairman Phelps to
the effect that great many delegates
would be in the city on the afternoon
trains. The temporary chairman, Mr..
Sprague. was introduced, and an
nounced that as the delegates had come
for work he would not weary them
with speech. A. I. Foster. Of Blue
Earth, moved the appointment of a
committee of three On credentials;

mittee Of seven on resolutions, and

factions. Men at all faint-hearted would
have given up yesterday morning and
gone home, but no such thought seemed
to occur to any of the leaders. Of
course they knew of the wretched man
ner in which the call was issued. In
some, indeed. in many counties. no no
tice was received by the leaders of tine
Alliance until too late for them to
act. Gen. Baker and the other
leaders had scores of - letters be-
fore them from all parts of
the state assuring them of the hearty
cooperation of the writer's, and reciting
tine causes which operated to prevent the
election of the delega gates to which they
were entitled.
The new state committee of the Alli-
ance held a meeting Immediately after
adjournment last evening and organized
by the election of w. w. Erwin as
chairman. He will present the Alliance,
side of the question to the Peoples
convention if he is given the oppor-
tunity, and, 1t is needless to remark, it
will be done in the most effective man
ner possible,

The afternoon work was commenced
with the conference at the Clarendon.
The two elements vigorously fought
over the proper course to be pursued,
b1t came to no agreement. When the
convention reassembled at O'Clock a
few more delegates put 10 an ap-
pearance, and the business COM
menced. All the committees were
evidently ready for the work
and those who were anxious to finish
yesterday breathed more easily. The
first business was the adoption of the
report of the committee on order of bus
mess. This was adopted, and in the
lull which followed the form of the ven
cradle ex-senator o. II. Page, of Olm-
stead, loomed up. He stated that he
had a statement to make On behalf of
the delegation from his county. Per-
mission was given him to proceed. He
read the following:
The delegation from Olmsted county to
this convention was appointed in the inter-
est of harmony. As to how far this conven-
tion should go in its proposed action, the
delegates reserve the right TO decide for

This was the only nomination made
by the Alliance party in state conven-

result of mutual concessions. The con-
vention was not large, hardly 100 dele
gates being in attendance in, the
course of the day, but this
number was not a unit for the
course that was finally adopted. The
majority. perhaps. favored at the begin

blood. He gave commendation to the
workmen and was evidently firm in his
belief that to Mr.. Frick is to be attrib-
uted all the trouble. His speech. aside
from the negative feature of the almost
unnatural quiet and hush of the town,
was the event of the day.
There were three funerals during the
afternoon, and it was not unnaturally
expected that they might eliminate in
some sort of disturbance, but they
passed off with all the decorousness
that should attend such solemn cele-
bration. Morris. whose funeral was the

end was not yet. Up to Il late hour he

he said, land l desire you
to stop right here and appoint a com

This action of the convention is
bound to have great effect OIL the
cid Alliance voters of 1899, and
places the blame for the division
squarely on the shoulders of the Peo-
pies party in case the convention next
week declines conference to the COM
mittee of twenty-five. In case of UNI
favorable action by the Peoples party
convention the war will be carried into
Africa, as it were. The Alliance COM
mittee has the authority to place a
full state and congressional ticket
in the field, which all who know the
character of the men OH this committee
will have no doubt whatever about be-
ing used. Indeed, in Gen. Bakers
speech no sentence was more favorably
received than the one in which he gave
notice of the course that will be taken.

CHICAGO, July THE trades and

an attorney and will proceed against
the management of the Pinkertons for
raising illegal companies of men. The
proceedings thus far have been kept
secret, for it was feared that prema-
ture publication of the plan would de-

Steps have been taken to prevent, by
legal measures, the sending from the
Chicago headquarters of the Pinkertons
any organized body of men to the scene
of the Pennsylvania labor troubles. The
report that large number would be
sent today resulted in the placing at the
various stations cammittees of the as

which they base their hopes is the Illi-

Getting Ready for war.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1.-THE same
activity that prevailed at Mare Island
navy yard during the discussion of the
Chilean affairs has again been revived
by reason of the Behring sea controver-
sy, and every indication points strong
ly to the fact that the United States
proposes to send Immediately north all
the available naval vessels on the Pa
cifc coast station.
Pending the final settlement Of the
Chilean question, the government had
pushed work with dispatch on all the
vessels at the yard, and the steam en-
cheering department had been worked
night and day. The same. state of af-
fairs exists at this time. The machin-
lists are doing double time on the Ran
ger; the Albatross is ready to 60 as
soon as the orders are received.
Not only can the Ranger, Charleston,
Alba tross and the Rush be dispatched
to the Behring sea on short notice, but
the Baltimore could be dispatched
should her services be needed. The
revenue cutter Corwin has taken her
departure and the Bear will follow next
month. The United States steamer
Thetis, which has been surveying off
the coast of Lower California, has ar
rived at San Diego and will be ordered
to San Francisco to be fitted out for the
service in Behring sea.

MINE HORROR in BELGIUM.
Nearly 200 Men Killed by al Explosion
Of Fired mp.

BRUSSELS, March IA frightful
mine disaster has occurred at Ander-
leus, near Charleroi, in which many
were entombed. An explosion occurred
which destroyed the shatting and ven
tillation and made the work of rescue
extremely difficult.
The rescuers were beaten back or
cowed by the stencil and the caving in
of earth and timber, and for time it
was thought that the whole 900 miners
were lost. On renewing their
efforts, however, a few were
rescued and in the course of few
hours thirty were taken out alive, but
with the living men and women, were
also many corpses. The place at
which the explosions occurred is in
the second gallery, 500 yards below the
surface, and work at this depth is diff
cult and dangerous. Volunteers were
let down three times in cage When
half way down on the first trip the fur
Their caving of the shaft frightened
them and they returned. Five of the
ten men refused to go down again, as
the mine was flooding rapidly, they
said, and the loosened sides of the shaft
threatened to fall in and bury them
The other five made the second trip
and reached the mouth of the second
gallery. They found few men who
were nearest the shaft when the first
explosion occurred. These miners had
run for their lives, but had been
caught at the entrance by falling tim
BETS. AL had broken bones and three
were so firmly lodged in the wreck that
the rescuing party dared not wait to ex-
tricate them.
The work was set back twice by
the caving of great blocks of earth and
stone from the sides of the wrecked
shaft, and after the third trip no vol
unteers for the work of rescue could
be found. The superintendent of the
mine twice went down 200 feet, but re-
turned, saying that the chances would
be four to one against him if he went
lower.
The total number of the victims is
unascertained. The lower gallery has
not yet been reached by the rescuing
party. 1t is believed the humble of
killed will not be less than 100. Up to
l1:45 p. M. twenty bodies had
been recovered from the mines. It is
believed that the lower gallery at the
depth of 500 meters is on fire, and that
none of the miners there have any
chance to escape Most of the bodies
were terribly mutilated.
