DELEGATES INVADING PlTTsBURG.
The National Convention VIII he Called
to order Next Wednesday Morning.
Levering, Metcaif ana Bentley Out For
the Presidential Nomination.

PITTsBuRG, May 25.-Prohibition dele
gates are arriving in this city for the
national convention. Among those
already here are National Chairman
Dickey, A. A. Stevens of Tyrone, Robt.
Ireland of Baltimore and Ex-Governor
st. John of Kansas.
The Prohibition convention will num-
ber 1900 delegates. 1t will be called to
order by National Chairman Dickey
next Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock
in the new Exposition Music hall. The
big things to be done are the nominat-
ing of q national ticket for president
and vice president and the building of a
platform for them to run on.
The fight over the platform will be
between the Marrow Guagers," who
want prohibition as the leading feature
of the platform, and the BROAD
Guagers," who want other issues,
mainly Populistic, incorporated in the
platform.
Chairman Dickey was not slow to ex-
press himself as favoring the dominant
conservative wing of the party, and say.
ing that he thor ght the "Populistic''
end of the party would run mp against
q snag. Mr.. Dickey said there was nc
use in the Prohibitionist party loading
itself dewn with side issues, each one of
which would lop off from its ranks good
and true men who were single hearted
when prohibition was mentioned. He
thought there might be some fun when
the party convened, but that the better
Judgment of the members would pre-.
vail and the platform would declare for
prohibition as the main feature and
with some mention of other planks
but not rampant populism or any Other
ism.
He thought the party would not cut
loose from these men who had been its
political bone and sinew tor so many
years. He rather expects to see Joshua
Levering of Baltimore or Mr.. Metcali
of Rhode Island nominated for presi
dent.
Ex-Governor st. John said that botl
free silver and free trade would be i'll
corpOrated in the platform. Said he

Prevent "a Vote.
WASHINGTON, May 25.--The outlook
as to the line of proceedings in the
senate during the present week is not
very clear. 1t is the general understand
ing that the debate on Senator Buffers
bond resolution will continue today and
possibly longer, but if it holds the floor
beyond today there will be an effort to
llisplace it with the general deficiency
appropriation bill. This is the only one
If the appropriation bills which has not
received the attention of the senate. AS
it has now been reported the members
OF the appropriations committee are
naturally anxious to take it up at the
earliest practicable date.
On the other hand, Senator Butler,
who has charge Of the bond bill, feels
that if a vote is not had on his bill be.
fore this appropriation bill is passed, 1t
may be impossible to hold a quorum,
and will therefore insist upon going
forward to q finish before the deficiency
bill is considered. He thinks that il
will be possible to conclude the debate
upon the bond bill today OF at the latest
tomorrow.
The opponents of the bond bill will
try to prevent a vote being reached at
all, and some of them will obstruct its
progress to the fullest extent possible
with appropriation bills and by other
legitimate means at their command. OF
the 10 general appropriation bills, only
six have bee c)me laws, leaving eight still
to be sent to the president, and none OF
these, except the legislative and the
river and har6o bill are entirely out OF
conference. There will therefore be
numerous conference reports to be pre-
sented, and as trese are always privil
eyed matters, they can be used to dis
place the bond bill.

general that the date of final adjourn
ment will depend almost entirely upon
the length of time the president may
hold the river and harbor bill. With

having to remain long enough to at
tempt to pass it despite the executive
disapproval.

that the senate would be prepared to
adjourn by the first Of next week. In
that event everything would be rushed

turned out to be. While the din of
