M'KINLEY HEADQUARTERS.
The Fullest Confidence That Mckinley

The Fullest Couhdenc. That Mckinley
VIII Have $50 Votes on fret Ballot
ST. LOUIS, Mo. Jane Yesterday
was big DAY at the rooms of the
Ohio delegation. known as Mckinley
headquarters. Some of the Ohio dis.
trict delegates and Mr.. Hanna were
on duty there all the time, while Del
egates-at-large Foraker, Bushnell and
Grosvenor and some district delegates
were out visiting other State dele
cations and leaders.
When Hon. Charles w. Fairbanks,
the temporary chairman, arrived from
indianapolis, Mr.. Hanna and others
had long conference with him over
the keynote speech, and later this
keynote speech was submitted to q
conference of the Mckinley leaders.
1t is understood that the keynote
speech will be in the line of the
Indiana platform, which specially de.
clares opposition to the free and Inde-
pendent coinage of silver at the ratio
of IL to /.
AT Mckinley headquarters, there is
still the fullest confidence in the fav-
orite having 63j votes on the first bal
lot, out of total of 91S, but there is
not any fixed slate for the nomination
for vice president or any ultimatum
on the currency plank.

No REOPENlNG.
EdIct Has Gone Forth That the Tempo

EdIct Has Gone Forth That the Tempo
rsry Convention Roll Is to Stand.
ST. LOUIS, No., June 16.-It will in.
terest the states that have had con-
tests before the national committee,
as it will also interest those who hope
.or short convention, to know that
those in control of the convention
have formulated plan whereby the
numerous contests will not be opened
again by the convention or by the
committee on contested seats.
Either the Mckinley managers are
fearful OF delay, or else they believe
1t is waste of time and energy to re-
open these cases, for the edict went
forth yesterday afternoon that the
convention would, by resolution.
either formally accept as final the
report OF the national committee on
all contests decided by them. or would
instruct the committee on credentials
TO SO report. This means that only
such contests as the Texas and Della.
ware ones shall be referred to the
convention, because such action would
make the temporary roll call per-
manent one, with the exception OF
the two states named.
That the New York delegation and
Mr.. Platt coincide with this course is
one of the peculiarlties of the ante
convention happenings.

some Of the officials of the Lewiston club
Mr.. Taylor of the Park hotel Withdrew
his complaint against Sheehan. the ball
player, who was discharged upon the
payment of the costs by one of the direo-

that he would never forget the leniency
shown by Mr.. Taylor, and that 1t would
be lesson to him as he WAS going tc

ton was made against him. City Mar
shall Tricky said that liquor had been
seized in former place kept by Har-
low and the present place looked susDic-
ious. The marshal was questioned as to
other places and answered that there
seemed to be little food in them, and the
probability was that they were intended
to supply drink. Alderman Ilsley object
ed that there should lie more evidence
than this against such places. Mr.. Har-
low faid that his place WAS innocent;
but the report of the committee was
accepted. And when the aldermen were

reported favorably were granted, and

ably upon were granted leave to with.

San Francisco, Jan. 9.-The inquiry
in the United States circuit court as TO
the right of the California railway COM
mission to alter the freight rates of the
Southern Pacific company was resumed
today. Arguments on both sides were
made as to the admissabiIity as evil
dence, of the dispositions of the officers
and heads of departments, of the Sou
thern Pacific company, taken at the
investigation by the Pacific railroads
commission.
Attorney Hayne, for the committee
said that some officer of the Southern
Pacific must have been authorized TO
look after the welfare of the corpora
ton at that investigation and make a
statement The dispositions sworn to
by the officers Of the corporation were
binding on the corporation.
Attorney Herrin for the Southern Pa
cific said that the dispositions given by
the officers at that investigation were
not binding on the corporation He
said they responded in compliance with
the law and not in their official capac
ilty. The officers were testifying as to
their knowledge and not as to the facts
If the Central Pacific is indebted to the
United States and wanted an extension
of time, that does not bind the South
ern Pacific company. The Southern
Pacific had not at that time been con-
siderad a debtor of the United States
and owes the government nothing now
Attorney General Fitzgerald will re-
ply tomorrow.

IT'S ANOTHER BAKER ENTIRELY
Captain III. ID. Baker Not the Baker WhS
Came Ont for Reed.

Cross, o. T, Jan. Especial. ITO
the Editor of the Eagle: Captain H. d.
Baker, senator from this district, and
chairman of the territorial Republican
executive committee, is being annoyed
by the daily receipt Of letters from his
friends in the territory relative TO a let
ter published IN the Eagle a short time
ago, over the signature of one w. H
Baker, calling DOWN James ID. Mcclure,
whom he accused OF speaking for the
whole Republican party OF the territory
as 10 the availability of Reed as a, can
didate, and il rather strikes us that this
w. H. Baker is guilty Of the very same
charge, as by reference TO his article
will appear.
Now, Captain H. d. Baker is not the
writer OF the article referred TO, his
friends simply concluding that there
was but one Baker in this county, and
their error was a most eXcusable one.
Captain Baker is a man of TOO large
calibre to engage in newspaper crbti-
cisms. He is for the people first and
the man of their choice afterwards and
il is but justice to him that this expla-
nation be given. That his name be not
COMPOUNDED with that of another.

HE ADDS A POSTSCRIPT
Converted Armenian States the Real Facts
When the Turks Ain,t Looking.

New Britain, Conn, Jan. e.-Another
letter has been received by Marlos StIta-
Tdan, of this city. giving details of the
massacres in and around Garmury Of
the province of Karpoot. The writer
is his uncle, Abraham Abrahamian,
who embraced Islam to save his life
and the letter was written while he was
under a guard of Turkish soldiers.
II states that those who apostatiZed
are permitted to write to their friends
in America, but the letters must pass
through a censorship that strikes out
all matters that reflect upon the gov
eminent
Abrahamian, however, succeeded in
adding to a letter that had passed the
censor and gave some truthful details.
All the villages around Garmury have
been destroyed and men, women and
children maSSacred. Their houses are
either burned or occupied by the sol
diers and even those who embraced
Islam are not allowed to retain their
property. The younger women have
been carried off by the soldiers and
are killed upon the first show Of resist
ence to their horrible demands. All
the Armenian papers have been burned
and none can be obtained for letters
unless through the authorities. The
letter closes with an urgent appeal for
aid, to the Christians Of America.
