President Haralson Re-EIected.


When these prelminaries had been COM
pleted President Haralson called for the
election of officers, and DR.. Ellis at once
placed his name in nomination. The NOM
nations were closed Immediately and Judge
Haralson was unanimously rechosen pres
ident of the convention, which office he has
filled since 1889. He made a brief speech
thanking the conference for the honor and
expressing his belief that the convention
would be complete success if every dele
gate would lend his cooperation to the
officers. He called attention to the rule
which forbds applause and declared that
he should strictly inforce it. So he feared
the delegates would have to suppress their
posal of the delegates is short and there Is
more work than ever to do. In addition
this is the first time the conference has
ever met in Washington, and as fully two
thirds of the delegates have never visited
Washington before, it is likely that very
many of them would want to go around the
city to see the many sights.
He feared that there might be a neces-
sity for cutting off of the daily ses-
sions, else one of two things might happen:
Either the people would be deprived of see
iEg much they had come to see, or there
would be no convention. So the question
of daily sessions would be referred to a
committee who would confer with Dr.
Stakely, and announce their decision later
Judge HARRISON said he hoped that the
delegates would not make very long
speeches, and not try to entrap him in any
parliamentary tangles. In conclusion he
said he hoped for no higher honor in this
life than that which had been conferred
upon him so frequently.
Judge HARRISON announced the committee
on order of business, as follows: H. H

THE SICK MEN.
Secretary Gresham Seriously Afflicted
With MnIuria--The other Cases.

With Mnlnria-The other Cases.
Slight Improvement in Secretary Gres-
hams condition is reported today. He was
somewhat uneasy throughout the night
and slept little but this morning is resting
quietly. Malarial symptoms have appeared
in the Secretary's case, which tend to COM
plicate 1t, and one i'll effect Of this has been
to stop the healthful process of absorption
Of the pleuratic fluid which has been going
on as a result of the treatment adminis-
tered. The Secretary has always been sub
ject to these malarial attacks, but hereto
fore they have been unaccompanied by any
more serious ailment. AS it has not been
deemed prudent to permit him to partake
of any solid nourishment. the patient is
much reduced in flesh and strength, and it
is probable that he will be confined to his
bed for several weeks at least, at the pres
ent rate of progress.
Representative Hit of Illinois passed a
very comfortable night, and is somewhat
better today.
Representative Cogswell and Gen. Pleas
onton are reported to be slightly better
than yesterday.
Admiral Amy rested well last night but
his condition remains unchanged and is
precariouS.

OPENING BIDS.
The St. E1izabeth's and Geological
Survey Contracts,

The board appointed to open the bids for
supplies for ST. EliZabeth's Hospital, con-
sisting of DR.. Godding, w. B. Acker Of the
office of the Secretary of the Interior. and
G. H. Anderson, chief of the lands and
railroads division of the Interior Depart
ment, worked until late last night, and
spent today opening the bushel or more of
bids sent in. The number and character
of the bids make 1t likely that the con-
tracts will not be decided on and let for
two or three weeks to come. The whole
amount involved in the bids is s175,U0.
Another board. consisting of Geo. W.
Evans of the Office of the Secretary of the
Interior, Frank w. Clarke of the geological
survey, John X. Killers of the geological
survey, and John E. Allen of the geologi-
cal survey, are busy opening bids for chem
icals, paper and various supplies for the
geological survey. Their work Is not SO
difficult as that of the board on the st.
Elizabeth's contracts, yet it will take them
several days to decide on the successful
bidders. The amount involved in the geo
logical survey bids is upward of $4,000.

JOHN McBRYDE'S CASE.
Investigation Shows That Bribery
Was Not Attempted by Him.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 10.-The inves.i-
CATION by the Trades and Labor Assembly
of this city Of charges preferred by Mark
Wild against John McBryde, being abso-
lutely secret, the following from an outside
source is reliable, appearing in black and
white, and does not violate any confidence:
1t has been given to the committee. 1t has
reference to the 5000 which was given to
Mark Wild by John McBryde. and which.
as claimed by Wild, was bribe. He as
sDebs man, Lad been leading a strike of
Hooking Valley railroad employees. The
coal miners strike had been settled and
the miners had returned to work when
Wild's men stopped the coal trains.
The facts. as given to representative
of the Associated Press, are that tbs
money was raised by Mr.. Morris of Cleve-
lard, of the Morris Coal Company, after
the railroad strike had been settled and
in consideration of the fact that Mr.. Wild
had advised a settlement without regard
to himself. and with a full knowledge that
he should not be reinstated by the Hooking
Valley Railroad Company. The railroad
company had refused TO listen to him and
he had John Mcbride go to the company
behalf Of the railroad men.
The coal operators entertained the opin-
ion that such a disinterested act was
worthy of reward, and that it would be
wrong to permit Wild and his family to suf-
fer under the circumstances. The state
board of arbitration committees, composed
OF business men OF Columbus ana -NeIsoll-
vile, also subStantiate this action. The sub
iect was spoken of at a public meeting at
Nelsonville, there no effort to cover
the matter up.
Mr.. Morris handed the money TO Mr. Nc
Bryde for the reason that Mc8ryde had
represented the railroad strikers, and was.
therefore, the proper channel through
which the money should pass.
The money promptly turned over to
Wild, who has never denied, but admitted
having received it,
The foregoing is 4 complete history OF
the money chal ges filed against McBryde.
The inquiry has been temporarily suspend
ed to accommodate p. ]. Mcclure.

JAPANESE IN HAWAII.
Minister kurinO Says Reports From
Honolulu Are Absurd.

The attention of Minister Kurino of
Japan was called to a dispatch from San
Francisco published yesterday, intimating
that there is liability of trouble from the
Japanese in the Hawaiian Islands. The
dispatch in question purports to contain
information recently received by c. w.
Ashford from Hawaii to the effect that the
japanese in the islands are in a feverish
and excited state owing to Japan's victory
over China: that there are a number Of
trained soldiers among them, and that
these threaten to come forward and be-
come a serious factor in the affairs of
Hawaii.
Mr.. Kurino characterized these state
ments as absurd and ridiculous in the eX
treme. The Japanese in Hawaii, he says,
are orderly and industrious people. Most
of them are farmers and none of them
have received military training.
No Desire to Interfere.
They have prospered in that country and
have no disposition to interfere in its af-
fairs. The rights and privileges of their
position are guaranteed by treaty, and the
present government of Hawaii has been
formally recognized by Japan. They have
shown no disposition at any time to be
turbulent or to do anything more than to
preserve the status secured to them by
treaty. Mr.. Kurino said that any statement
which ascribes to them the purpose of for
chilly interfering in Hawaiian affairs is
manifestly false, since nothing could be
palmer than that the japanese government
would sternly and decisively discountenance
such unauthorized interference by any of
it's subjects in the domestic matters of
friendly state.
Mr. Kurino Is at loss to account for
these constantly recurring rumors regard
ing the probability of misconduct on the
part of japanese in Hawaii. He could only
aScribe them, he said, to a desire on the
part of some Hawaiian politicians to show
that the presence of Japanese in Hawaii is
a constant menace, and thus to advance
other purposes which the authors of these
false stories have in view.
Their PeaceubIe Disposition.
AS showing the peaceable disposition of
the japanese in Hawaii, Mr.. Kurino re-
lated the following Incident: When the
troubles in Hawaii were at their height.
and when great excitement prevailed
among all classes of the people, some of
the JaI anese laborerS, becoming restless
and desiring to know the cause of the
commotion, started for Honolulu. They
were met on the way by subordinate Of
ticial of the Japanese consulate general, a
young clerk, who, notwithstanding his
youth and his lack of real official author
ity, had no difficulty in turning them back
and in persuading them to return to work
Although all classes of the Hawaiian pop
ulation were mixed up one way or another
with the troubles which occurred at that
time, not one of the japanese participate ted
either side, either before or after the
overthrow of the queen.

THE SUPREME COURT
No Meetings Have Been Held in the Con.
sultation Room.
Justice jackson Has Given No Sign of
His OpiniOn-A Decision Ex-
pected Monday.

The Supreme Court premises are as COM
pletely deserted by the members of the
court and the public though the income
tax had never come up to receive the at
tention of the court and attract visitors.
1t had been supposed that the court would
go into immediate consultation after the
conclusion Of the argument in the case,
but IL there has been any consultation UP
to date it has not been held in the confer
ence room at the Capitol. AS the court ad-
journed until the Goth instant. it is appar-
ent that it meant to give itself am
pie time to investigate the questions at is
sue before attempting to reach a con-
clusion.
No Sign Given.
Justice Jackson's position, while a mat
ter of much speculative interest at this
time, Is apparently known to no one but
himself, unless he has found occasion
within the past day or two to acquaint
some of his fellow members Of the court
with his views He has certainly given no
official utterance to them on this question
neither during the tendency OF the recent
hearing nor before.
Neither by question or suggestion to
&C unset on either side, or even by look or
motion during the argument on Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday. did he indicate to
the slightest extent what his predictions
were. Not once during the entire hearing
cid he open his mouth to speak. His whole
manner was that of a man who felt that
he was sitting in the case for the purpose
CT hearing all that was to be suggested
without in any respect betraying any bias.
His manner did Eot even change when Mr..
Choate referred to him by name.
Decision Expected Monday Week.
There is little doubt entertained but that
the courts decision will be announced next
Monday week. and there can be no ques-
ton of the general expectation in Wash
ington that it will be antagonistic to the
law as a whole, though for this opinion
nothing in the nature of definite fact
to the standing of members of the deciding
tribunal is advanced.

An Official Statement.

An Official Statement.
The following statement in regard to the
demand for Mr.. Thurston's recall emanates
from the State Department. and therefore
may be accepted as the official view of the
subject:
A prominent official of the State Depart
ment, after reading the press dispatches
from Honolulu last evening, said:
1T is not true that the Hawaiian minis
ter's recall was based upon the mere fact
that that official gave to the press informa-
ton relative to occurrences at Honolulu.
The truth is, Mr.. Thurston has inspired.
during the last year and half, newspaper
criticism of the administrations action in
Hawaiian affairs. The President and Secre-
tary of State put up with this, but Minister
Thurston exhausted the patience of Mr..
Cleveland and Mr.. Gresham when he in
States Minister Willis for the action of that
officer. under explicit instructions of the
department. in looking after the interests
of American citizens charged before the
military tribunal at Honolulu with com
plicity in the alleged insurrection.
In other words, Mr.. Thurston's recall
was demanded because he attempted to
discredit Mr.. Willis before the American
people for doing his duty to American citi-
zens charged with a capital offense in
Honolulu"
MIR. Hastings Promotion Satisfactory.
1t is also sem-officially stated that the
promotion of Mr.. Hastings, Hawaiian
minister, would be particularly acceptable
to the State Department, where he is well
known and very popular. Before entering
the service of Hawaii, Mr.. Hastings served
the United States very creditably in dip
lomatic capacity for many years.
He has arranged to leave Washington in
few weeks and the legaion will be closed
until next fall, unless an extra session of
Congress should bring him back There
is said to be no significance in this, as
most of the diplomats take summer vaca-
tionS. Recent events in Honolulu, how
ever, may necessitate @ change in Mr..
Hastings plans, and he may be obliged to
remain in the city longer than he had an
ticipated.

a TRIPARTITE AGREEMENT
With the Object Of Securing Favorable Trade
Relations With China.


BERLIN, April 22.-The North German
Gazette (semi- Officially publishes an article
OF similar Importance to ono contained In
the Cologne Gazette Saturday afternoon.
The Gazette of Saturday said that In
view of the pressure being exercised by
the war party in Japan, Germany, at the
beginning of March, enjoined the Japan
ese government to be moderate In the
terms demanded for peace, urging that
the cession Of territory upon the main
land of China would be especially calcu.
lated to induce the Intervention OF the
powers. When 1t was shown by the pub
lished terms of peace chat Japan was not
disposed to follow Germany's advice,
steps were Immediately taken to establish
an accord with the powers, and COM
plste agreement has been reached with
Russia and France.
The three powers, Germany, Russia
and France, will now take steps to pro-
tect their interests in eastern Asia. The
question of territorial changes will be first
kept in view, against Japan's desire TO
bind herself like solid girdle around
China, in order to be able to shut of China
entirely from Europe. In case OF need,
tho three powers mentioned intend to
avert in good time any injury to their in
terests.
It was added, however, that Germany
would be glad to see Japan enjoy the
fruits OF her military powers on condition
that 1t does not ipjure Germany's interests.
