INDIANA REPUBLICANS.
The State Convention to he Held To-
morrow.

The State Convention to he Held To-
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, April 24.-Nmer-
ically the state republican convention to be
held tomorrow in this city will be by far
the largest ever held in the state Seventeen
hundred and fifteen delegates will vote for
the candidates, the largest previous conven-
ton having comprised 1900 delegates.
The nine offices for which candidates will
be chosen are confronted with forty-three
candidates This, too, exceeds in number all
previous records. The office of clerk of the
supreme court heads the list with nine can
didates. Then comes the authorship. In
dianapolis has three candidates for attor-
ney general. with apparently equal strength.
They are VIM. A. Ketcham, Thomas Hanna,
ex-heutenant governor, and VIM. l.. Taylor.
The contest for secretary of state is at
tracing the widest interest, as that office is
regarded as containing greater possibilities
than any other, and by precedent is the
resting place before gubernatorial honors.
A conspicuous candidate for the office is
Aaron Jones Of South Bend, who headed the
ticket two years ago. The present program
calls for but two speeches, and one of these
will be by ex-President Harrison. Ex-Sec-
rotary of the Navy Richard w. Thompson
of Terre Haute will likely be chosen as
president of the convention. Gen. Harrison
Is expected to make some remarks concern
ing national affairs, and his close friends
say that he will talk unreservedly and
plainly.
The platform Is causing much speculation.
The committee will be engaged in its prepar-
alton all of tonight. 1t will, undoubtedly,
arraign both the state and national admin
istration and condemn in strong terms the
democratic reapportionment of 1898 The
A. p. A. will be considered by the commit
tee by request of certain prominent Catholic
republicans, but whether 1t will be mem
toned in the platform is uncertain.
This congressional district (the SEVENTH
will choose republican candidate to OPP
pose Congressman Bynum today. The can
,didate will be Charles L. Henry of Madison
county, who was the candidate two years
ago. Charles w. Fairbanks will preside
and the nomination will likely be made
unanimously.

WOMEN ATTACKED DEPUTIES.
An Exciting Combat at "a Coke Plan
Near Uniontown, Pa.

The Oliver coke plant near Uniontown,
Pa. was the scene OF disorder and blood
shed yesterday. A striker named Michael
E. Fetzko stoned the coke drawers while
they were at work in the yard. Sheriff
Wilhelm and a posse of deputies arrested
him, when about fifty women assembled
and demanded his release. The answer
was yell of defiance. and then the whole
crowd of cursing, screaming women charg-
ed the squad of men, attacking them with
every conceivable missile and weapon ex-
cept firearms.
Blood was flowing from numbers Of the
men in a moment, and when some of them
had been knocked down they were forced to
fight back. Mrs. Fetzko, the leader of the
furies, rushed at Deputy Sheriff Richards
with an uplifted AK. He evadei the blow
and knocked her senseless with his re-
volver, and she lay stretched at length en-
the ground with the blood gushing from q
cash in her forehead.
The cry was raised that she was killed
and the bedlam Of savage excitement can
not be described. But she revived after
FULLY twenty minutes. When she struck at
Richards with her AK the other deputies
threw on the restraint that had made them
helpless against the women heretofore.
Numbers Of women were felled with blows
from maces, others were stabbed with bayo-
nets or beaten with the stocks of Winchss-
tiers, and the sheriff had great difficulty in
preventing the men from shooting them
down like dogs.

Value of Silver i'm India.

Consul General Polk of Calcutta has sent
to the Department Of State copy of the
rev tariff law of India, and in his letter of
transmittal says: The act is strictly an
act for the raising of revenue. This action
has been rendered necessary by the in
creased revenue required TO meet the pay
ments on the gold debt due from India TO
England, resulting from the fall in the gold
value of silver, which is the money of the
country. The government hopes 10y means

the men protested against the action and a
committee Of the workingmen, after con-
siderable argument, obtained from Bryan
a revocation of the order.
That night he sent a cipher dispatch to
the headquarters of the company stating
what he had done and saying that he was
rushing material into the smelters so as to

He also suggested that the Northern Pacific
be requested to handle the Great Northern

The Third officer of the Steamer Los

The Tn1rO Onicer OF the steamer Los
Angeles Charged With Carelessness.
MONTEREY. Cal, April 24.-The cor
oners investigation into the cause of the
wreck Of the steamship Los Angeles at
Point Sur on Saturday night has resulted
in verdict charging Roger Ryfkogel, the
ships third officer. with criminal negli-
gence and carelessness. He was taken
into custody and will be tried for man
slaughter. 7e
The Testimony before the coroner's jury
showed that Ryfkogel changed the ships
course without consulting the captain, do
ing so after Capt. Leland had particularly
ordered that he be called from his bunk to
direct the steamers course when the Point
Sur light should be reached.
The hidden rocks on which the vessel was
wrecked are some. distance north of the
light. 1t was shown, too. that the night
was clear and the light in full view. though
the accused third officer in his testimony
insisted that the sky was hazy. He ad-
mitted, however, his disregard of Capt. Lee
lands orders.
The bodies of five of the six persons
known to have been lost have been re-
covered.
Capt. Leland and other survivors of the
wrecked Los Angeles have been most kindly
cared for by the crew of the Point Sur
light house. All of the passengers are in a
pitiful condition. Many escaped from the
steamer in night garments only and all
were very scantily attired. The suffering

disaster was caused by the negligence of an
officer who steered the vessel from her
course.

Probable Release Of Prisoners.

There is proposition before the War
Department for a wholesale release of pris-
oners at the military prison at Fort
Leavenworth. Kan. This building has ac-
commodations for $50 prisoners and has
now 643 inmates, and the accessions are
constantly in excess of the releases. The
large number of prisoners is attributed to
the reward of $50 offered for the appre-
hension Of deserters. which has recently
stimulated activity in that respect. The
plan under consideration contemplates re-
hitting the unexpired sentences of about
100 prisoners having the best prison
records.
