STRUGGLE OF THE POLITICIANS
Conventions in Chicago Will Determ-
inc the Strength of Factions.

Chicago, Feb. 29.-The fourth and
ninth senatorial district conventions
are being held today. d. W. Mills, who
has been absent in California, has a
strong following, but others favor Da-
vid e. Shannahan, who will be unani-
mously renominated in the ninth. Mr..
Shannahan, who was the engineer of
the civil service law for passage in the
legislature, went to the coast in fail
ing health a few months since. In his
absence Denis J. Reilly, an old antag-
onist, called a convention and got him
self nominated as a candidate for the
place now held by Mr.. Shannahan.
However, the latter hurried home and
his friends promptly called a new con-
vention in his favor The trouble be-
tween Reilly and Shannahan has
been the result of a long standing feud
between the members of the ninth SEN
atorial district and it is probable that
the matter will come before the state
central committee, who were once be-
fore called upon to settle the contest.
Other candidates whose names come
before today's conventions are e. e.
Coyne and Fred NJ Blount, who have
been spoken of as ST. Louis delegates,
and NJ. E. Cole, who is an aspirant for
congressional honors. The general SEN
timent is, as in the recent local dis
trict nominations, in favor of sending
unpledged delegates to st. Louis.

ALL SPAIN is IN A FURoRE
The People Want to Fight. But the
Government Goes Slow.

Madrid, March If one may judge
by the things that have been said and
some of the things that have been done
today, the Spanish people are deter
mined to go to war forthwith with the
United States and to speedily avenge
the insult, which it is fancied, has been
offered to the naughty pride of Spain
by the United States in its determine
ton to recognize the Cuban provisional
government as a republican power.
Some of the organs Of publication de-
clare that the bankruptcy of the Span
ish government would not prevent the
Spanish people from taking up the
quarrel on their own account and fit
ting out expeditions and maintaining
themselves at their own expense while
combating with the insolence of the
assertions of the United States. The
day has been characterized by many
manifestations of public wrath and ex-
element.
