GENERAL HAwLEY's ADDRESS.

General Hawley began by predicting a
hot campaign. He greeted the young voters
of the party; reviewed the party's history,
referring to it's achievements, and said in
none of these things have we had the
cordial cooperation of the Democratic
party. In almost every one we had It's
vigorous opposition.
Referring to possible candidates at Min
neapolis, the speaker said: Il am not here
to say who will be or should be the nominee
of our party for the presidency. know a
warm place in the hearts Of many of you
has always been occupied by James G.
Blaine; l know well all Republicans are
saddened by the announcement he with
draws from the candidacy. Since he has
the genius to be loved, let him have the JUS
tice to be honored. Benjamin Harrison has
proved himself one of the ablest statesmen
in the line of Presidents. He conducted
the treasury when the secretary was dis
abled; he became secretary of state when
Blaine was compelled to close his portfolio;
he is a well qualified substitute for any
member of his cabinet"
General Hawley then paid tribute to
the wisdom of Harrison's appointments
from the cabinet down, and the felicity of

MELBOURNE, May 4.-Deeming has be-
come very downcast in the past twenty
four hours and abandoned all attempts
at cheerfuIness. He appears to place but
little reliance in his pending appeal to
avert the fate in store for him. He admits
ne IS now partly convinced he committed
murder, but insists he doesn't remember il.
He expresses no regret and makes none OF
the usual professions Of repentance and de-
clines to see the jail chaplain or clergyman.
TIE biography which Deeming is writ
ing deals at length with the killing of his
wife and children
The governor Of the jail has seen the
manuscript and says the story is incoher-
emit. 1t is probable that after his execu-
ton experts will examine Deeming's brain
in order to determine the question of his
sanity,

A Socialist Commoner Summarized.

LONDON, May 4.-In the commons to- day,
while HerbertAsquith was speaking on Hal
danes land bill, declared land differed from
consols or commercial enterprises. He was
interrupted by Cunningham E. Grahame,
socialist, who excitedly asked: How
ABOUT swindling shareholders in a CON-
panyt" Amid cries of order Grahame
shouted: This is a swindling scheme.n
Confusion ensued in the house. The
speaker called Grahame to order. The lat
ter refused TO be silent and the speaker
manned" him. This action was greeted
with cheers and Grahame retorted, 'sAll
right, | am named for standing up for
Socialism"
This caused renewed confusion and
Home Secretary Matthews moved that
Grahame be suspended. The motion was
seconded and adopted without a dissenting
vote, tue suspension being for one week.
When Grahame left the house the confusion
subsidized and the bill was put to vote but
rejected by 223 to 145

powerful Dynamite Cartridges Found on One

BRUSSELS, May To-day at Mons the
man who divulged the fact that he was
concerned in the Anarchist plot was ar
rested. The prisoner, with four other
men, had arranged to blow up the houses
OF Roulier and Belloie, bankers at Mons,
and also the residences of other leading
citizans. The arrested man had in his pos
session five powerful dynamite cartridges,
and it is believed if he had not talked in
discreetly to a supposed fellow-work-
man, who was d detective in disguise,
Mons would have suffered series Of
disastrous explosions: 1t is expected four
other men will shortly be arrested. The
police to-day discovered the location of the
Anarchist Misery in the outskirts Of the
city. The printer was arrested. A dyna-
mite cartridge was found upon the window
sill of house in Leige. The fuse was
lgnlted but quenched and an explosion
tnwarted. The police of Leige to-day
searched over forty houses in which An
archists resided.

PENSION OFFICE INVESTIGATION.
Noble Declines TO Furnish Papers Referring to
the Dismissal of Special Examiners.

WASHINGTON, May Am the pension
Office investigation to-day Enloe called the
attention of the committee to the fact that
Secretary Noble declined to furnish papers
relating to the dismissal of special pension
examiners, although he promised to furnish
any papers wanted. Erloe asked that the
House be requested to take action on the
matter. He wished to see the papers be-
cause he believed Theodore Smith pre-
ferred unjust charges against number of
employees and he took the refusal to furnish
his letters to be because they would bring
out facts not creditable.
Brosius. of Pennsylvania, protested
against interferences against the integrity
OF any officer of the government arising
from his assertion. 1t is constitutional
right to control removals without being
answerable to Congress-
Chairman Wheeler said Noble got his
power not from the constitution, but from
Congress, which by statute conferred the
power Of appointment OF inferior officers
on the heads OF departments.
The committee adjourned to give mem
bers an opportunity TO investigate the legal
questions involved before deciding on their
course of action.

themselves as determined to support ALI

ship inviolate, the fullest right and freedom
to affiliate solitically with any party, max

minnesota Republican Convention.

ST. PAUL, May 4.-The Republican state
convention, which meets tomorrow, prom
Uses to be harmonious, although there is a
possibility of a fight over one and perhaps
two delegates-at-large. Ex-Governor j. s.
Pillsbury, Senator E. b. Daugherty, of
Duluth, Senator Frank A. Day and Hon.
Stanford Newell will probably be the dele
gates-st-large. 1t is generally agreed there
will be no attempt to pass q resolution in
structing for Harrison. The administra-
lion will be heartily endorsed. Senator c..
K. Davis has been chosen to preside, and
this fact is also taken to mean the Presi-
dent will not have an instructed delegation.

INGALLS, IN TIE FIELD.

Four delegates at-large will be elected
and there are already eight candidates in
the field, among them John j. ingalls,,
whose return to active political life win be
made ct this convention. Mr.. Ingalls, is
probably at present the most popular
with the party of all the Kansas
Republican leaders. He has not
given any intimation Of what
his new political ambition may
be, but it hastily decided to send him TO
Minneapolis at the head If the Kansas
delegation. He may also cut figure in
the selection of a candidate Tor Congress
man-at-large, as the young men of the
party, who principally make up the con-
vention, demand his nomination. ingalls,
has given no intlmation that he would &C
cept d nomination, but he probably would
do so were he assured it would not pre-
JUDGE his chances for reelection to the
United States Senate.
The sentiment OF the delegates is against
tnstructing the delegation. The resolu-
lions will endorse the administration and
make special mention of Harrison. They
will also declare in favor of a protective
tariff, reciprocity and honest money.

committee on resolutions tonight are
carried out. at midnight the committee,
Is to 2, decided to add resolution to the
platform indorsing in the warmest terms
the administration of President Harrison
and instructing the state delegation to vote
as unit for his denomination at the ma
tional convention.
The Republican state convention met
this afternoon. Congressman a. j. Hop
kins, temporary chairman, addressed the
convention at length on the issues OF the
day.
Chairman Hopkins speech was loudly
applauded, especially the mention OF Har-
rison and Blaine. The latter came 10 for
the lions share, and hats, coats and UNI
brellas were thrown into the air while the
delegates yelled repeatedly: whats the
matter with Blsine?"
| When the chairman predicted that the
candidate nominated at Minneapolis would
be elected, there were loud cries of "And
| his name is Blaine" at is written in the
book of fate,n said the chairman, conLinu
ing his speech, but the delegates inter
preted this as meaning an endorsement OF
their suggestion OF Blaine's nomination,
and again that popular leader was cheered.
After reading a telegram from Senator
Cullom a committee was appointed and the

This evening the committee on perma
nent organization decided to make the tenn
