To Mckinley VIII Insist Upon Such De-
cided Gold Declaration as to Make
Troub'e
st. Louis, No, June 12.-The move
ments of the men who are opposed to
Mckinley have been very quiet, but it
is understood that since the arrival Of
Mr. Quay to-day there has been con-
ference of men representing the diff
ferent candidates, those present being
Flatt, for Morton; Quay, for himself;
Henderson, for Mr.. Allison, and an
Eastern man representing Mr.. Reed. Ii
was understood that the conference was
not with any hope OF defeating the
nomination of Mckinley, because Mr..
Quay and Mr. Manley have already con-
csded the nomination OF the Ohio man
on the first ballot, but that it was pro-
posed to prepare platform on the
money question which was TO be in
sisted upon at all hazards and to give
it to the Mckinley men as one OF the
demands of the opposition. 1t was un-
derstood that the declaration was TO be
unequivocally for gold.
In this connection, it is said, the de-
claration will be so pronounced that 1t
will not be acceptable to the great mid
die west, which is here solid for Nc
Kinley, and may precipitate a fight.
This is one of the many stories that
were in circulation indicating that the
arrival of Mr.. Platt and Mr.. Quay had
made the opposition more formidable
than was supposed.

The Fortney and Hoke Factions Threaten

Big Guns.
Special to the Register.
Grafton, w. Va, June 12.-The
breach between the Hoke and Fortney
factions is getting wider and wider,
and many threats are being made about
defeating other candidates. The Hoke
men here have made their boasts that
they would defeat Hon. A. G. Dayton
for the nomination for Congress be-
cause some of his friends took part
against Hoke They also threaten Mr..
l.. NJ. LaFallett, as some of his friends
we're Fortney supporters. 1t is also
thought that they may tackle McKin-
ley, as some Of his henchmen here were
supporters of Col. Fortney. In fact,
they are so mad that they are unable
to tell just where they are at"
The breach between the town ring
here and the bitter element of the party
is wide. Dozens of good, substantial
Republicans have declared their inten-
ton to openly oppose the county ticket,
and that they are tired of ring rule.
The Republicans of this county are,
probably, the worst boss-ridden people
in the State.
The Democrats will put up ticket
with good, strong men on it, and will
give the conservative clement Of the
Republican party chance to vote for
men OF honor.

TELLER'S WEDGE.
He Has 1t Sharpened and Really to
Start the Split in the Republican
Party-Still a Little Cautious.

Cincinnati, Ohio, June 12.-Senator
and Mrs. Teller remained here tonight
while en- route from Washington to St.
Louis. They will resume their jour
ney tomorrow. Senator Teller was in
terviewed by the Enquirer, the free sill
yer paper, as follows;
What do you think the Republicans
will do at St. Louis, Senator?"
Il think that Mckinley will be the
nominee on a god standard platform. "
In that event what will you do?"
II do not wish to make any statement
further than that which is already on
record. When the Republican State
convention of Colorado was in session
l telegraphed them that l did not de-
sire to go to St. Louis, but that if my
party sent me | would not support q
gold standard candidate for President
on a gold standard platform, or on d
platform of doubtful import. or, in 9TH
er words. a Straddle. Not only did the
convention elect me, but instructed the
other delegates to be governed by my
action. | did not like that, because it
is rather embarrassing that other men
should be forced to do as l might do"
Then you will bolt the conventions"
Il did not say anything about that,
but my declaration to the Republicans
of Colorado is on record. and you can
draw whatever conclusion you please
from that"
"Will any of the other silver Sena-
tors from the West refuse TO support
a god standard man?"
Certainly
You have no idea that Senator Car
ter. of Montana, chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee will re-
fuse to support the ticket under such
circumstances?
Yes. he will, and so will Dubois,
Mantle and Cannon
DO you believe the Democratsc will
go for silver"
1T looks very strongly that way
Would you support a free silver
Democrat as against a gold Republi-
cam"
Really. | don't wish to be interview
ed on that point now.

There was especial interest in the con-
test from Delaware between the Addicks
and Higgins factions. The proceedings in
this contest were of very spirited char
acter and the remarks made by Senator
Higgins and Mr.. Addicks were very per-
sonal and acrimonious. In this case neither
delegation was seated. In the Arizona case
the members Of each delegation were
awarded a half seat each. OF the sixteen
delegate seated from Louisiana. five are
for Reed and the others for Mckinley.
The committee voted TO proceed to-mor-
row in the contests in the order reached.

ent or not.

PLATT HAS A KICK COMING.
Doesn't Like the Way the National Conn

Ne;ltlon.
ST. Louis. Mo-, June 12.-To-day
there was in circulation report that
Thomas c. Platt has declared his in
tention of boiling or walking out Of
the convention if the six contestants
from New York shQuld be seated. 1t is
learned from members Of the national
committee that in all probability the
six Platt men will be thrown out and
the other men placed on the temporary
roll. The report of what Platt had
said was reported to Mr. Hanna to-day
and he declined to discuss the matter
in any way. II shall not get excited
oyer this even if Mr.. Platt said it, Mr..
Hanna remarked, and when assured
that Platt had made the remark, he
was not disturbed.

delegates which were contested but
upon the whole proceeding in the COM
mite. He said: They are riding rough
shod oyer everything. The question
OF a mans title 10 a seat is not consid-
cred on its merits. but as TO his position
on presidential candidates. Mr.. Hahn,

ton involved in these contests is wheth-
er or not the man is for Mckinley and
that line of policy is what New York
objects to-"

tinually declared that Mr. Morton's
name will be presented and voted for.

Huntington, w. Va, June 12.-The
second daring attempt at train robbery
within the past month in Southern
West Virginia was made at Cotton Hill,
on New river, ninety miles east of
here, shortly after last midnight.
At this hour Engineer Andy South
worth, of this city. vas pulling the
Washington and Cincin natl fast ex-
press and mail train on the c. & o. and
was almost half an hour late.
He was gliding over the rails in
that mountainous district at the rate
of almost fifty miles an hour, when he
saw man wearing a mask spring from
the tender of his engine into the cab.
He had a 44-calibre revolver in each
hand, and put them into the faces of
both the engineer and fireman with
the words: Stop the train, or l will
blow out your brainsw
The engineer obeyed, and as soon as
the train stopped two other bandits ap-
peared on the scene, and both engineer
and fireman were marched to the rear
of the express car. and at the point of
revolvers, were made uncouple as well
as unlooSe the safety chains. The
engineer fortunately cut loose without
closing the angle cocks which applied
the air on both ends Of the train The
bandits escorted the engineer back to
his cab and ordered him to pull out as
soon as possible. The steam was ap-
piled, but owing to the brakes being cut,
nAs . l. l. Il.
fireman had given the alarm among
the sleeping passengers, and confusion
reigned. Many passengers leaped from
the train and ran into the hills, while
the women screamed. Some of the
more brave, who were armed, in COM
pany with the fireman and conductor,
started forward, when they saw the
bandits attempting to force the door
to the express car. The robbers at the
sight Of the passengers must have be-
come alarmed, for they leaped from
the car and made nasty retreat. II
took almost half ar hCm' to get the
train in shape and the passengers
aboard.
A posse has been searching among
the rugged hills OF New river to-day
for the bandits, but all to no avail.
The officials of the road think they are
men who are experienced in that line.
General Manager Stevens was in a
sleeper at the time, but knew nothing of
the hold-up until the train was again
under way. The supposition is that
the robbers boarded the train az Thur
mond and waited until they reached
the secluded place where the robbery
was attempted.

DEFENSE IS DONE.
RebuttaI Testimony in the Walling Case
Begins TO-Day-Will be Finished We'd
neSday.


nesday.
NEWPORT, KY, June 12.-At quarter
past this afternoon the defense closed its
testimony in the case of Alonzo Walling,
indicted for the murder of Pearl Bryan on
the night between Friday evening, January
Slst, ard the morning of February lst,
this year.
As the main point of attack was against
the truth OF the story of George H. Jack
son. the colored cab man, who testified
that he drove the murdererS and their vic
tim 10 the scene of the tragedy on the
night of the murder, so the first work Of
the prosecution in rebuttal to-day was to
bring evidence to support the cab mans
story. Another point of the defense,
which it is likely will be met by rebuttal
testimony tomorrow, is a theory support
ed by expert medical testimony that the
victim was first killed and taken dead to
the spot where her body was found and was
there beheaded. The endeavor to support
this theory has been kept up al frequent in
tervals during the fourteen days consumed
in the trial including to-day's testimony.
Rebuttal evidence will probably close to-
morrow ard the verdict of the jury may
be expected next Wednesday.
