IA. PA. TOO HASTY
Many of the Members at the
Supreme Council
Say the Advisory Board Acted
Too Quickly
in M'KINLEY AFFAIR.
Many Delegates Are Wearing
Mckinley Buttons.
The Subject Discussed But Will
Be Dropped.
IN M'KINLEY AFFAIR.

Washington, Nay 13.-The supreme
council of the American Protective as
sOciation began its routine business
today behind closed dors.
It has been decided to hold only one
session a day and to devote the after
noon to committee work. Today's ses-
sion was consumed in the reading of
reports by the officers. President Tray
nor read his annual address and H.
Ross of supreme secretary, C. Il. Beatty
of Chicago, and supreme treasurer, O.
@. Campbell of Minneapolis, were also
read. Each report was referred to
special committee and no publicity VIII
be given them until the committees
have passed upon them and decided
what parts are suitable for general
consumption and what should be kept
secret.
An effort was made by newspaper
men who are delegates to secure ad-
mission to the meetings for members OF
the press, but the motion was lost
There is really nothing done in the
meetings which could not properly be
heard by the public" said Mr.. De
Wolf Of the Boston Standard, the chair
man OF the press committee.
The question of sustaining the ad-
VisOry board which blacklisted McKin-
ley causes more interest than any other
question connected with the council
Many of the delegates wore Mckinley
buttons Buttons bearing the likeness
of Congressman Linton OF Michigan are
also worn by many of the delegates.
Little talk of Mr. Linton Tor q DfeSl-
Dental candidate IS heard, but there IS
a movement on foot to secure an en-
dorsement of him by the Republicans
for the vice presidency
A new and apparently strong candi-
date for the presidency of the A. p. a.
has appeared on the scene in the per
son of J. w. Echols, an Atlanta. Ca,
lawyer. Baltimore and Atlanta are the
two cities in the field endeavoring to
secure the next convention of the A
p. A.
The chief topic of talk among the
members of the council is the recent
action of the advisory board in the at
| tack on Major Mckinley. One mem
/ Der expressed the opinion that nothing
would be done by the council in apprOv-
/ ing or disappearing the action of the
board The advisory boards actions are
/ renewable by the supreme council, and
/ the sentiment is expressed by those
| who deplore the action taken by it that
] che Mckinley matter should have been
/ submitted to the council before an Of
/ fetal PRONUNCIATION was made

Des Noines, Ia, May 13.-When the
Prohibition state convention assembled
today Temporary Chairman j. A. Har-
vey spoke two hours
He said the Republican party had
bent everything in favor Of Senator Al
hson and enacted the mulct law in the
interest of his presidential candidacy;
he accused the party of dislOyalty to
the people and called the church people
voting for the Republican nominees
"pious frauds"
He blamed the Republican party for
the present national financial condition
and said capitalists got the United
States supreme court to declare the in
come tax unconstitutional; roasted the
Republican papers, calling them or
gans of the hummer element
A telegram from the Nebraska com

Desire for the Execution
Of the Americans,
Who Were Taken on the Filli-
buster Competitor.
TREATY STANDS FIRM.
A BuIwark Against Hasty Acc
tiOn by Spain.
Prisoners Are Entitled to a
Civil Trial.

New York May ia dispatch to the
World from Madrid says.
There has been intense anxiety i'm po-
Htical and military and even in hnam-
cial circles over the effect on the coun-
try of the decision of the government to
remit the cases Of the convicted Ameri-
cans found on the Competitor, to the
supreme court of naval and military ap-
peals in Madrid, with a view to quash
the sentences passed by the court mar
tiaI BY this act the government clear
ly admits that all American subjects
are entitled to trial before courts of or
binary jurisdiction under the seventh
article of the treaty OF 1895, and the
treaty of 1877 between Spain and the
United States which the government
comedies to be applicable to the case OF
the Competitor.
The ministerial press have so clearly
exposed this novel aspect of the affair
and have so plainly insisted upon the
friendly way in which the American
government simply insisted upon the
execution of the treaties without chal-
lenging the right OF Spain to chastise
foreign offenders by her ordinary
courts of justice, that the excitement
has slightly subsided despite the eff
fOI is of the jingo press. The result OF
the decision of the Spanish government
IS to postpone fresh trial OF the Com
petitOr crew several months.
A special to the Herald from Havana
says; La Union Constitutional, the in-
Splred government newspaper al-
nounces that the verdict of death pro-
n0unced against all five of the Compe-
titor's crew tried on Friday by O. naval
court martial was promptly confirmed
by the admiral and all preparations
were being made to carry the sentence
into effect when orders came to remit
the papers to Madrid, though the pris-
oners had not been formally sentenced
and have not as yet even been notified
of the court s finding.
The transfer of the case to Spain. the
Marquis of Palmerola. the secretary
general Of the government tells rae.
amounts to a virtual suspension OF
/ Judgment for a month or six weeks The
1 Spanish authorities, the marquis says.
! have no desire to precipitate matters.
I If the superior military tribrnai at
Madrid should decide that consul Cen
eral Williams protest was well based.
the cases of any members OF the parity
whose American citizenship was clear.
may yet be transferred to the civil court
Spain having no desire to evade treaty
stipuIatiOns.
The American people, he continued.
may rest assured that only justice viii

district Republican convention met here
Yesterday afternoon and evening and
chose two DELEGATES to the ST. Louis
national convention and one presiden-
tfal electOr. The convention met at &
O'Clock i'm the ROhrbaugh Opera House
and passed of in a most peaceful man
The Wyandotte primaries. which We're
held April 9, selected two delegations 70
the Ottawa convention as well as TO the
late Lawrence convention, and it was
thought that perhaps these delegations
would come together again There was
no delegation present, however, on lhe
ground to contest the Trickett delega-
tion. and there was no trouble between
the Buchan and anti-Buchan people
save when judge Norton Of Douglas,
who defended the Buchan credentials
refused to shake hands with N at
Barnes. leader of the Trickett people.
Barnes walked up to Norton yesterday
afternoon. and, holding out his hand,
spoke to the Douglas man.
Norton Strengthened back and his
face flushing a little. he said;
mo sir no, sir. N1r Barnes, Il dom {
give my hand to any such a liar as
you"
..But let me explain" said Barnes.
mo explanation necessary" replied
Norton. waving him on u have not
sought YOU. I Will hold no cOmmunica-
tion with you or any man Of your kind.
You have brought this rebuff upon
yourself i have avoided you, but you
persist in coming into my presence
..But I want to explain" persisted
Barnes. the circumstances now are
not the same as they were then"
mo. sir I Will not hear You"
AfterWard Norton explained to the
bystanders that when Barnes was max
ing his canvass for delegate at large he
had promised to Norton that if he
should be given Douglas cOunty's IL
votes at Wichita. he would support Bu-
chan at Lawrence.
w H. Brown of PaOla and Grant
HOrnaday of Fort Scott were selected
as delegates to the ST. Louis cOnven-
ton by a unanimous vote. State Sena-
tor Charley Scott of Allen county was
elected presidential elector by a vote of
so to 35- Scott was not on the ground.
and IL is not known whether or not he
is willing to be the electOr. His own
county had another candidate but Wy
andOtte and Douglas were favorable to
him and elected him.
The resolutions instruct the dele
gates to St Louis for Mckinley for
president and Cy Leland for national
committeeman The resolutions also
endorse the state administration and
unlike the fated resolutions at Law
renee, the Ottawa resolutions went
through with great enthusiasm
After the convention was over a dem

Harris, the congressional nominee in
the Second district The best of feel
ing prevailed the entire duration of
the convention except when Norton and
Nat Barnes bumped up again one an
other.

Populst central committee for the

Fenti0n for August &, or the day before

Judge Webb is candidate for the
P0pulist nomination for chief jU=tice
before the state convention at Abilene,
and $50 is Judge George w Clark pres
ent Judge of the court of appeals for
this division. Webb is crafty and fg-
ures it out that in calling the appellate
convention just the day before the
state convention. there is a possibility
for the nomination of Judge Clark for
appellate judge and thereby getting
the latter out of the way In the candi-
dacy for chief Justice
Judge Clark only smiled when the
matter was suggested to him. and said
there was some smooth work some

Justice. however. and viii remain in.
As a matter of fact, the eastern di-
vision. northern department, court of

SWORE TO GET EVEN.
Placed Ties on the northwestern
Track for a Fancied Grievance.

Racine. May 13.-ReinhOld Dunsey
and Michael Reider have been arrested
on the charge of placing ties on the
track of the Chicago & Northwestern
road for the purpose of wrecking a.
train on Sunday night. Dunsey finally
acknowledged that Reider and himself
placed the ties on the track
Afterward Reider not only acknOW-
lodged Sunday nights doings. but con
fessed to having placed the ties on the
track on the night Of April %. when a
locomotive and several freight cars
were ditched. The only reason the
men gave for their conduct was that
they narrowly escaped being run down
by a train on the road some time ago,
and then sWore to get even with the
company. The men have been held Tor
