A Republican convention for the Second
Congressional district of Wisconsin will be
held at the Concordia Opera house, in Water
town, Wednesday, August II, 1896, at II
O'Clock A. NJ, for the purpose of nominating

additional delegate for a major fraction.
Such other business will be transacted as
may properly come before the convention.

Republican Congressional Committee.

TO-DAY at noon the Republican
State convention Will meet in Mil
waukee, and one of the hottest con-
tests for political honors which the
state has witnessed will be on. C. A.
Lamoreux, of ssAshland, will preside
Both Scofeld and La Toilette will
have about $50 delegates on the first
ballot for governor, but this appears
to be the maximum strength which
either can command, providing the
other candidates remain in the field.
The outlook this morning portends
extended balloting for the guberna-
torial nomination, with the outcome
extremely uncertain. The probabili-
ty is that neither Of the leaders will
be nominated in which case the
chances are greatly in favor of
Baensch being the choice of the con-
vention. After the first few ballots
it is certain that many of the dele
gates will leave the leaders and go to
minor candidates. When the break
comes a nomination will be made in
short order but the result will prob
ably not be reached until tomorrow.

THE GAZETTE is informed by an old
and experienced machinist and engi-
neer who recently stood civil service
examination for place as engineer in
the governments employ, that of the
many questions he was required to an
swer, not single one had any reference
to the practical duties of a man in
charge of a stationary engine, but most
ly related to obscure calcutions of
which no practical engineer knows any
thing and few have ever heard, such,
for instance, as the difference in the
time of arrival at Chicago of two men,
leaving Washington at the same mo-
ment, one on bicycle the diameter
of the wheels of which was two feet
seven inches, and the other on one the
wheels of which were two feet seven
inches wide? IT the delegates to the
national democratic convention desire
to get votes, without buying them,
they will declare for the repeal of the
civil service law, the monumental hum
bug of the age.

FIFTY-FOURTH CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, May Ii.
SENATE.

Mr.. Teller reported substitute for
the House bankruptcy bill, and MIR.
Mitchell presented the views of the mi
nority of the judiciary committee-fav'
oring the House bill.
House Joint resolution providing that
the laws against the admission of con-
tract labor immigrants shall not be con-
strued as prohibiting the entrance into
the United States of mechanics, artisans
and other laborers necessary for the
preparation and instalment of foreign
exhibits at the Nashville Centennial
Exposition, and also providing for the
admission of exhibits free of duty, was
passed; also House bill for the use of
national military parks as fields for
military maneuvers by the State ma
tional guard. The river and harbor
bill was taken up and the debate as to
the location of deep sea harbor in
southern California was continued.
Mr.. Berry opposed the amendment
of the committee fixing Santa Monica
as the place where the expenditure is
to be made. He said the adoption OF
the amendment would greatly endan-
ger and probably defeat any river and
harbor bill at this session.
Mr.. Vest said the Senate had before
it a river and harbor bill carrying
seventy millions-unheard of, as to
magnitude. The Senate was not now
in the presence of an over1owing
Treasury, but of a Treasury whose con-
dition would necessitate in O few
months the issuing of bonds to meet the
ordinary expenses of the govern
ment. Was this time, he ask.
ed, to make loose appropriations :?
Was it time to hurry for
ward and expend money, when its
expenditure was not absolutely neces-
sary? Unfortunately, Mr.. Hunting
ton was political factor in California,
where the test of mans fitness for of
fee was whether he was for Hunting
ton or against Huntington, and in that
condition of public sentiment there he
would not make the appropriation at
this time.
HOUSE.
Senate bill was passed authorizing
the Secretary of the Treasury to make
and enforce regulations to secure the
safety of passengers on excursion
steamers at any regatta or yacht race
held on the navigable waters of the
United States.
Mr.. Tracy called up the resolution
reported from the committee on mill
tary affairs providing for an investiga-
ton of the workings of the Leaven-
worth, Kansas, Soldiers Home, but
MIR. Hall objected to its consideration.
There was also objection made
by Mr.. Hopkins to the consideration
Of a bill called up by Mr.. Powers,
authorizing the purchasers of the ives
tern division of the Atlantic and Pacific
Railroad to organize company, which
shall succeed to all the rights, priv.
leges and purchases of the original
corporation.
Like objection was made by Mr.. Loud
to the bill to incorporate the national
plant, flower and fruit guild, OF which
Mrs. Levi P. Morton is president, on
the ground that it was bad practice
to give a national charter to such in
situations.
Under the rules Mr.. Babcock, chair
man of the committee on affairs of the
District of Columbia, claimed the day
for business reported by it, and the
House proceeded to consider the bills
on its calendar.

MONDAY EVENING, MAY IL. 1896.

MIR. JOHN GooDE, now of Washington,
is opposed to the adoption Of the unit
rule by the Staunton convention, upon
the ground that the rights of the mi
nority should be respected. They al
ways should be, until fair and square
test has been made, and then che mi
nority, of a democratic convention
should submit at once to the ascertain
ed will of the majority. The rights OF
the minority in the Virginia conven-
ton that passed the ordinance of Sc
cession were recognized and allowed
until the vote was taken, and then the
State went out Of the Uunion as unit,
though forty-six of the delegates voted
against it. The vote of Virginia in the
electoral college and when the Presl-
Dental election is held by the House OF
REPRESENTATIVES, is cast as a unit,
though the minority be large; and why
it should not be, in nominating con-
vention, as that of New York has been,
and that of Pennsylvania and Michigan
and other States will be, Mr.. Goode, nor
any body else, can tell. Most wise and
discreet democratic citizens hope the
State convention may not declare for
free silver coinage, but if it shall, that
will certainly be no sufficient reason
why it should not adopt the unit rule
The views of the democracy of Virginia
should be represented in national con-
ventions by Virginia delegates, not by
those of the New England and other
Northern States that never cast dem
ocratic electoral vote.

who would ostracise fellow citizens on
account of their nativity and re-

THE WASHINGTON MURDER.

In Washington on Saturday evening
the coroner's jury in the case of Elsie
Kreglo returned a verdict that Elsie
Kreglo's death was produced by
wounds on the neck, inflicted with o
penknife held in the hand of Irwin l..
Ford, on May 4, on Klingle place, in
the District of Columbia, during a
felonious attempt to ravish the said
Elsie Kreglo.
The Jury made no recommendations
as to holding Ford on the charge of
murder, but the verdict was no sooner
rendered than a commitment was is
sued for placing the murderer in the
District of Columbia Jail, which was
done. The prosecution in the Ford
case will be pushed by the government,
and speedy trial is expected.
On Saturday Ford made another con-
fession, in which he admitted he at
tempted to commit an assault on Miss
Kreglo, but was unsuccessful. His
failure to accomplish his purpose, he
said, was due to the strength ofhis vic
tim.
In his confession he said: "Well, I
done what you people think | did.
Leastways, tried to do it, and sup
pose it doesn't make so very much diff
ference to anybody now whether l was
able to carry out what INTENDED to do.
I own up I tried to, and the girl screamed
like bloody murder. She was not
knocked out, but was able to keep on
talking and yelling, and she understood
all right what happened. | tried my
best, and if didn't succeed l don't sup
pose I ought to get no credit for that,
cause my mind Was all made up to it.
AS soon as found out how it was, and
that if she ever lived to tell about it /
would be killed anyhow, / just went to
work and cut her throat. 1t was after
tried that I cut her throat. 1t seems
to me cut four times, but they's tell
ing me they found six cuts in her
throat, so / suppose must have done
it that many times. She bled like
everything, but she wasn't dead when
I started to go away, and I didn't know
until afterward that I had really killed
her. am sort of glad have told about
all this, because, from what they tell
me, they could have proved it on me
and suppose it's better for
man to 90 to his hanging without airy
lies on his lips. Ofcourse, 1 know what
you are all going to do with me, and it's
awful for a man to be where l am at"
