GETTING READY.
PROMINENT REPUBLICANS ASSEM-
BILE AT ST. LOUIS.
Much Work to Be Done Today, and,
as Usual, Carter and CIarksOn
Are Among the First Present.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 19.-Some of the
members of the Republican national
committee and subcommittee on con-
vention are in the city, and the re-
mainder are expected to arrive tomor-
row morning before the meeting with
the local committee to make arrange
ments for the convention. John M Ew-
ing of Wisconsin, who holds the proxy
of Henry c. Payne, of that state, and
John r Tanner of Illinois, with the
proxy of Committeeman Campbell, ar
rived last night and are quartered at

A RAILWAY CANDIDATE.

CINCINNATI, O., Jan 19.-since
this city did not get the national
Democratic convention now move
ment to get the nomination has been
started. 1t is. argued that no effort
was made to secure the Republican ma
tional convention as Ohio had a candi-
date in Mckinley. and if the Demo-
cratic convention had been held here,
no local candidate could have been
consistently presented.
The Cincinnati delegation that went
to Washington last week to present
the claims o. this city to the national
Democratic committee was headed by
Melville E. ingalls,, president of the
Big Four and other railways, and he
is the man that combination of bust
ness men and politicians are consider
ing as a candidate who would com
mand the confidence of business inter
ests in these stringent times The
failure Of James E. Campbell again to
become governor, and of Calvin S.
Brice to be returned as senator at the
last election, is cited as clearing the
way for ingalls, men to get a solid
Ohio delegation and then the support
of other states.

FLYING SQUADRON.
BRITISH FLEET. MAY COME INTO
AMERICAN WATERS.
Rear Admiral BeIkDap Retired)
Will Not Be I'm the Least Surprised
If 1t Does,

NEW YORK, Jan. ia Specialize
the World from Boston says:
IF the British flying squadron should
come over to American waters it would
not astonish me-" said Rear Admiral
Belknap, retired, at his home on Bea-
con street.
81 wrote to Admiral Bunce at Hamp-
ton Roads three days ago that it would
not surprise me in the least if the flying
squadron should be first heard from at
La Guayra. From the first moment it
was announced that the squadron was
to be commissioned 1 made up my mind
it was for American waters. I came to
that conclusion because matters had
quieted down in the Transvaal and the
excitement over Emperor Williams tel
egram to Kruger had subsidized.
1.-The reported activity at st. Lucia
and Halifax on this side of the Atlantic
and at the British dockyard at Esqui-
mault, at the entrance of the straits of
Juan de Fuca, the Pacific. emphatically
confirm such a conclusion.
''While some of our people are argu-
ing over the meaning and intent of the
Monroe doctrine and apologizing for
everything England does, of whatever
character in any part of the globe, the
British government, in my opinion, is
determinedly preparing to take what
She claims as belonging to her in Ven
ezue1a.
In my opinion, if that flying squad
ron does appear in American waters,
and under existing conditions, it can
only be construed as menace to the
United States.

CINCINNATI. Jan. 19.-The CONNER
cial Gazette special from Frankfort.
KY, says:
The city is filling up tonight with the
friends Of Blackburn and Hunter AL
though the leaders of both parties had
agreed that there should be no ballot
ing for senator until February 4. or
until the successor of Wilson had quail
flied, yet the nominees Of the caucuses
seem to be so suspicious of each other
that they are marshaling their forces
here for balloting in both houses sep
arately on Tuesday and the friends of
Hunter are claiming he will be de-
clared elected Wednesday. Some Re
publican senators insist they will Join
the Democrats in postponing the cleo
ton until after Wilson's successor ar
rtves. Some of Hunters most ardent
supporters think the scheme to post
pone the election of senator was a. trick
in the interest of Bradley or Yerkes.
and that they shall therefore not abide
by it. In addition to the opposition from
those who want to stand by the COM
promise agreement, PopuIist Poor has
become estranged from Hunter but he
says he will never go to Blackburn. so
1t does not seem possible for any cleo
ton Of senator to occur this week. The
deadlock between Hunter and Black
burn with their fighting friends on the
ground is expected to make trouble.
Both sides are very determined and
suspicious.

Bernard Gillian.

AMSTERDAM, N. Y, Jan. 19.-Bern-
ard Gillian, the noted cartoonist of
Judge, died this morning at the home
of his father-in-law, ex-senator James
Arkell, of Canajoharie. His death was
the result of an attack of typhoid
fever.
Bernhard Gillian was an English
man by birth. When he was Is years
old his family came over and settled
in Brooklyn, where Gillian went to the
public schools When he left he an
nounced himself as a scenic painter
picture in. a Brooklyn gallery. All
Brooklyn went to see this marvel, and
all Brooklyn laughed. Even Gillian S
friends poked fun at him. He went in
a lawyers office as clerk, but before
the end of the year he turned to art
again, and as portrait painter had a
feeble success. He saw clearly that
caricature and the cartoon were his
gift, and began to try to force an en-
trance into the weekly papers. His first
work was for Frank LeSlie'S Weekly.
He soon made something of a reputa-
tioin and was made a member of the
staff of Rarper's Weekly. His posi-
ton as a cartoonist was established.
From Harper's he went to Puck and
there drew the cartoons that gave him
his national reputation. The first of
these 1.-The Tattooed Man" will be re-
membered by all who remember the
Blaine campaign of 1884. He left Puck
to join w ]. Arkell in the establish
ing. and building up Of Judge. He be-
came partner in the firm, the firm
name being Arkell & Gillian.

Tomorrow the subcommittee will
meet with the local committee and

to be done by the subcommittee is

Mr.. Ewing has brought a candidate
with him in the person of George M.

engaged six rooms at the Planters

SEVERAL SUSPECTS.
LYNCHING WILL PROBABLY BE
THEIR FATE.
Jail at Par<ersburg Guarded Owing
to Threats Made as to What May
Be Done.

PARKERSBURG. W. Va, Jan. 10
The jail was guarded tonight owing to
the attempts and threats of Iynching
those recently assauIting girls. Sew
eral suspects are held across the Penn
sylvania line for the outrage of Lulu
Wetheren a week ago. The officers do
not want to bring anyone here charged
with the Wetheren attack unless they
have evidence. owing to the danger Of
lynching. The second offender is
Charles Russell, charged with attempt
ing the ruin of his S-year-oId step
daughter. At the preliminary hearing
yesterday Justice Beckwith had strong
ly armed guards present, but while the
little girl was testifying he adjourned
court quickly and rushed Russell back
to jail to prevent the crowd in court
capturing the prisoner. The crowd
followed the officers to the Jail, but the
prisoner was safely landed and then
the guards defed any attack. The
crowd was dispersed by the announce
ment that the assailant of Lulu
Wetherell was en- route to the city.
There is apprehension Of trouble now.
although every possible effort has been
made to prevent it and the sheriff is
strongly reinforced.

Campos Indignant.

NEW YORK, Jan. pa dispatch to
the World from Havana says:
General Martinez Campos, after sur
rendering the supreme command in Cuba
to General Martin made the following
indignant statement to the World: The
censor forbids its transmission by cable
and L send it by messenger to Key West.
GENERAL CAMPOs' STATEMENT.
'I speak because 1 am now private
citizen. and not the governor general.
Be it known that L have not resigned,
the government has removed me and has
done well.
II feel a great resentment, caused by
the conduct of the parties in Cuba
Nations exercise their sovereignty in
various ways, but the head should al
ways rule The principle of authority
should rise superior to all else.
II have been opposed because While
may break. vet l never bend. l have
prevented a repetition of the sad scenes
of the last war, and this has been dis
tasteful to the mob.
"The situation is this: Here is prov
ince. distant from the mother country
where the political parties by the att1-
tude they are taking, think to shape the
policy of Spain If they had not this
idea 1 could speedily show what the ne
cessities of the situation are.
But they know that they would ind
me in the way If they should ask me TO
shoot seventeen students tan allusion to
the massacre of students in the last war;
and because of this knowledge they con-
spire behind my back.
Eyes, this justifies the true. saying
that Spain has lost the Americas be-
cause of Spaniards themselves.
This is country of shop keepers
who want to govern and it is they who
are sweeping the country to ruin. Time
will tell if this be not So"

WASHINGTON, Jan 19.-The pres
ent indications are that the time of
the senate will be divided this week be-
tween the discussion of finance and the
Monroe doctrine, the latter being
based upon the Davis resolution and
the former on the free coinage sub
stitute for the house bond bill. Sew
eral senators, including Teller, Daniel,
CockreIl and White, will speak on the
silver bill during the week, and the
probabilities are that the considera-
ton of the bill will not be concluded
when the end of the week is reached.
No vote will be secured until the Utah
senators take their seats but it will
come soon after that time The silver
substitute is the unfinished business,
which fact gives it precedence over all
other matters each day after o'clock,
thus rendering it impossible to take
up the Monroe resolution except during
the morning hour. unless by general
consent. Senator Pugh has given no.
tice that he will, on Monday, try to Sc
cure a vote on his resolution for the
payment of government obligations in
coin instead of gold alone but his sue
cess in that direction is doubtful. The
tariff bill will be reported during the
week if Senator Jones of Nevada gives
his consent.

THE HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The house
will devote the coming week to the con-
sideration of appropriation bills unless
a move is made to recognize the Gu
bans as belligerents. 1t is quite pro-
bable the question may be presented to
the house in some shape The COM
mittee on foreign affairs has as yet
proposed no resolution on the subject
but there are many indications that
the whole question will be considered
in the house before long. The urgent
deficiency and military academy ap-
preparation bills, which are ready, go
to make up the regular work for the
week
