THERE WILL BE NO BOIL
Talk of recognizing Both Oh
Parties.
ON THE BIMETALLIC ISSUES
senator Garter Asserts That Western
Republicans VIII stand by the
party of Lincoln.

Chicago, Feb. 2S-A special to the
Record from Washington says:
THE remarkable speech of Senator
Garter in the senate. taken in connec-
ton with that Of Secretary Carlisle at
the Manhattan Club in New York a
few days ago, has started a good deal
of talk about reorganization of the
old political parties and a division of
the people upon new INES. Both the
republicans and the democrats seem
almost hopelessly divided upon the
same issue, and that the most import
ant before the American people today
The parties are united upon every other
issue More than half the democrats IN
congress declare that they will not sup
port the candidate to be nominated at
Chicago unless he pledges himself to
free coinage. A considerable portion
of the republicans say the same con
corning the candidate to be nominated
at ST Louis. Then why, it is asked,
can not those in both parties who think
alike get together and name men VINO
agree with them? A great many peo-
pie believe that if discussion and di-
vision continue much longer that Will
happen.
senator Carter says: We are golnS
to get together before the st. Louis
convention. The silver men in the west
are not going to bolt the republican
party. There are many other issues
upon which we all agree, and they
would hold us together, no matter how
much we might differ on the money
question. Nevertheless, we western fell
lows intend 20 have something to say
about the management and the policy
Of the party. We don't propose to let
New England and New York lead us
around by the nose

ingstOn, representing the bondholder5
under the second mortgage of the
Northern Pacific railroad, filed an an
sWer in the suit of the Farmers Loan
and Trust Company upon which the
receivership is based. This is the first

cations Of the bill and it VIII create
sensation as it attacks the collateral
trust indenture bonds and the receiV-
ers' certificates. The demand is made
that the second mortgage he declared
prior lien; that if not so held the pay
ment of interest on the collateral trust
indentuTe bonds to the amount Of ST.
400 600 was without authority. The suit
would then lie against the receivers
The demand is also made that if the
mortgage is held not to cover the securi-
ties pledged in redemption for the re-
celVers' certificates, that the certificates
be adjudged to constitute no lien on the
property covered by the mortgage. The
sale Of property is asked for the benefit

STRUGGLE OF THE POLITICIANS
Conventions in Chicago VIII Determ-
inc the Strength Of Factions.

Chicago, Feb. 29.-The fourth and
ninth senatorial district conventions
are being held today. d. ". Mills, who
has been absent in California, has a
strong following, but others favor Da-
yid +. Shannahan, who will be unani-
nously 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.. Snannahan.
However, the latter hurried home and
his friends promptly called a new con-
veution in his favor. The trouble be-
tween Reilly and Shannahan has
been the result of a Ions 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 We're once be
fore called upon to settle the contest
Other candidates whose names come
before today's conventions are +. T.
Coyne and Fred NJ. BlOunt. who have
been spoken of as ST. Louis delegates
and NJ. T. Cole, who is an aspirant FOR
conversational hOnors. The general SEN
timent is, as in the recent local dis
trict nominations, in favor Of sending
unpledged delegates to St Louis.

ping people plenty to talk and worry

ing, but drizzling rain kept up all day.
After her collision with the Ailsa, the
La Bourgogue anchored in the lower
bay, and this morning Captain Perrot
decided to put back to this city. This
was done as a precautionary measure
and to allay the fears of the passen-
gers. AS soon as the big vessel was
locked a force Of men set to work
placing a new plate on the starboard
side near the stern. The plate was four
feet wide by Is feet long and three
eighths Of an inch thick. These repairs,
it was said, were only made as matter
of precautiOn, as the vessel did not
seem the worse for her collision with
the AiIsa. A bulletin was posted to
that effect.
