Senator Foraker I'm Open Revolt
Against McKinlcy's Manager, and
Greatly worrying the Boss.
PLATT STILL FIGHTING HARD
AND CONFIDENT HE WILL FULFILL
HIS THREAT AGAINST HANNA.
His Effort to Poil the Delegations Not
Wholly Successful - Governor
Morton Not Saying Much.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
ST. LOUIS, June H.-Last night to all
appearances Mr. Morton was to receive a
big share of Indiana's vote for the vice
presidential nomination, but tonight the
situation has shifted around as a result
of missionary work of the Mckinley peo-
pie and the anti-Platts of New York. In
deed, only one delegate expressed his un-
willingness twenty-four hours ago to vote
for Morton. but after Mr.. Hanna's men
came over and called on the delegates, par
ticularly those that are very friendly to
the Ohio manager. there was a change of
heart. Quite number of Hoosiers were
given to understand that Hobart or Evans
would be more acceptable to Mr.. Hanna
than Morton and by this visit not few
of the Indiana delegates have been won
away from the Morton standard. Yet there
is almost no interest in the vice presiden-
tial nomination and for the first time in
years it is looked on as merely a finish
ing touch. There is not by far as much
interest as there was in the choice of a
temporary and permanent chairman Of the
convention. No delegate seems to be welded
to particular choice.
There has been some talk Of failing the
ticket with Col. Fred Grant, who is present
tracting much attention. One delegate
from New York came to Hon. r. w.
Thompson to-day and asked If he would
second the nomination of Colonel Grant
Colonel Thompson gave no assurance of his
support, but promised TO bring the matter
before the Indiana delegation. Immediate
ly after the morning session of the con-
vention the Indiana delegation met and
took a poll for the first ballot on the pres
idential nomination. 1t was the first time
the delegation had considered the matter
in a formal way. and. as everybody knew
beforehand. decided to cast its thirty votes
for Mckinley.
1t the Minneapolis convention Mckinley
in bidding Uncle Dick" Thompson good
bye, promised to meet him at the next
national convention. Uncle Dick saws
he is going to write Mckinley real mean
letter when he gets back to Terre Haute
and chide him for not keeping his promise.
The venerable statesman is again announc-
ing that this is his last convention and the
Hoosiers wink again, just as they have
done for a number of conventions back.
knowing full well that the beloved old man
will be on hand again. The next national
convention will find him ninety-one years
old.
The Indiana members are stiffening on
the gold proposition, several of those who
favored merely sound-money declaration
concluding that the issue in the convention
viii be clearly defined between gold and
silver and while they may have preferred
something akin to the Indiana plank, they
will not hesitate moment in choosing be-
tween gold and silver. III. S. N.

GOVERNOR MoRToN's WIRE.
Getting All the st. Louis News and
Not Considering the Second Place.

RHINECLIFF, N. ", June 17-Governor
Morton has spent most of to-day in his
library reading the details of the st. Louis
convention. and has watched closely the
wavering feeling there in regard 10 his
position on the ticket to be nominated.
Not one word has fallen from his lips as to
his position on accepting the nomination
for Vice President should IL be rendered
him. His friends at st. Louis, according
to himself have not received his sanction
to use-their efforts in securing the vice
presidential nomination for him, and IL
they see fit to do it it is done of their own
volition. Even if the convention should de-
eide to nominate him as the running mate
of the successful presidential nominee with
out his consent he has not as yet made up
his mind TO accept. Briefly. the Governor s
name to be used as a presidential candi-
date when the presidential nominations are
made, and If he is not the successful candi-
date he will then consider the advisability
Of accepting the vice presidential nomina-
ton If offered to him.
The best evidence of this was furnished
when q dispatch was received from St.
Louis stating that Senator-elect Foraker
had consented to nominate Governor Nor
ton for Vice President should Major Nc
Kinley receive the nomination for the high
er Office. and that poll OF the national
delegates had resulted in finding 44S Of
them who favored him for the vice presi-
dency. To this dispatch. convincing as 1t
was that he was the choice for that
office, he intimated that his name would
go before the convention for presidential
honors alone.

ST. LOUIS. June 1.-THE New York Nc

sation to-day by the distribution about the
hotels and on the streets of letter hand
bill attacking the Morton vice presidential
boom. 1t was as follows:
NEW YORK DON'T WANT VICE
PRESIDENT.
1.-THE Mckinley League of the State of
New York, the custodian at st. Louis of
the signatures of 600 Republicans of the
Empire State who desire the nomination of
William Mckinley for President of the
United States, having heard that it is the
intention of the bosses combine, working
In conjunction with certain treacherous
friends of Mckinley. to force Levi p. Nor
ton on the Republican national ticket as a
candidate for Vice President, does hereby
protest against such conspiracy for these
reasons:
"First-That its purpose is to discredit the
candidacy of William Mckinley and to
weaken him before the people.
"Second-That ii Is an insult to the
friends OF Major Mckinley in New York.
''Third-Our indignation at the out
raseogs atsacs on McKiney oVsrn sas compeed
them to oppose the presidential ambition
Of Governor Morton.
"Fourth-That ii constitutes menace to
the Republicans of the Nation in that it
drags into presidential politics the party
tyranny which has disgusted the people
of New York and of the United States.
I'VE therefore ask all true friends Of
William Mckinley in the national conven-
ton to join with us, his friends in the
Empire State in opposing the nomination
of Levi Parsons Morton. or any other man
from the State of New York for Vice Pres
ident.''

ton the Morton men started to circulate
a dodger in the hall, but the sergeant-at-
arms suppressed il. 1t was headed New

beginning TO show itself All the leaders of
the various presidential aspirants opposed
TO Mr.. Mckinley are utterly disheartened
and their detection is seriously affecting
Mr.. Morton's prospects for the vice presi-

smarts under Mr. Platts message of last
night that he choked the gold platform
down his throat and that ne would choke
the gold candidate down after the plat
form. Mr.. Foraker's course has also
aroused his bitter indignation. The Ohio
Senator-elect, not content with dividing the
against Mr.. Hanna's leadership one
step further and it is announced that
Mr.. Foraker will place the name of Mr.
Morton before the convention for the vice
presidency. Nothing could suit Mr.. Platt's
plans better. The Platt men in the New
York delegation are debarred from NOM
mating Mr.. Morton for the second place.
because they are presumed TO be sincere
in supporting Mr.. Morton for the presi-
dency. The Anti-Plattites in the delegation
are OF course opposed TO Mr. Morton for
the second place.
The accession of Mr.. Foraker 10 the
Morton ranks has given the New Yorker, s
vice presidential boom much standing. He
can carry with him many OF the Eastern
Mckinley men: for instance, the Maryland
delegation. the majority OF whom are Nc

OVER 1000 LIVES LOST
JAPANESE ON THE ISLAND OF YEssO
ENGULFED BY A TIDAL WAVE.
Town of Kumaishi Swept BY the
Waters Of the Sea-violent Seis-
mic Disturbances-Famin

Copyrighted. 1896, by the Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO. June 17.-Advices
from Yokohama, by steamer, say: News OF
a terrible earthquake, involving the loss Of
over one thousand lives, has reached here
from the island of Yesso, which contains
the northern provinces of Japan, including
Shirebeshe. Oshima. Furi. Hitaka, Tokachi,
Ishikari Kirshiro, Teshiwo, Kitami and Ne
moro All these sections of the island seem
to have been more or less shaken. The sub
terraneous disturbance lasted about twenty
hours and during that period the utmost
terrcr prevailed. The ground rumblings are
described as resembling the roaring of dis
tant cannon Shock followed shock i'm al
most uninterrupted succession about every
eight minutes. In all, it is estimated there
were $50 shocks of more or less force. 1t Is
impossible to obtain. at present, accurate
details of the disaster, as communication
between the main land Of Japan dsland OF
Hokio) and Yesso, from which the former
is separated by the Strait of Tsugaru, is
said to be interrupted. or. more likely, in
the hands of the authorities. The whole
town of Kumaishi however. is reported to
have been destroyed
The awful series Of earthquake shocks
were accompanied by a tidal wave. and it
is believed that it was this on-rush of wa
ter from the sea that practically wiped out
the town of Kumaishi, which is situated
towards the Japan sea, on narrow neck
of land separating it from Volcano bay, on
the Pacific side of the island. The island Of
Yesso has, In the past, had several similar
visitations and contains a number of active
and extinct volcanoes.
Rumor has Ii that the number Of lives
lost and the amount of damage done is far
in excess Of the figures contained In the
brief official dispatch. A full official report
of this great calamity has been asked for
and is expected soon. 1t is feared that dis
asters to shipping must also have resulted
from the tidal wave.

get all the votes. The maximum strength
OF the men who will not accept orders
from Mr.. Hanna except on the presidential
vote. was shown this afternoon 10 be so
far below even 450 that it does not seem
possible that the Morton men have been
conservative or even accurate in the poll
of the delegations which they made this
afternoon. They admit privately that there
is great difficulty in arousing enthusiasm
on the subject
The vice presidential nomination will be
made tomorrow. but still not dozen del
egations have taken the trouble TO caucus
on the matter. The show of Mr.. Hannas
strength this afternoon is accepted as an
indication that he controls the situation.
Meantime. the fact that the vice presiden-
cy cannot yet be truthfully awarded to Mr..
Morton. must not, on the other hand, be
construed as the acknowledged victory of
Mr.. Hobart. The New Jersey candidate
has always been Mr.. Hanna's reserve cam
didate. Even now he accepts Mr.. Hobart
with a reservation. Mr.. Evans has been
encouraged, and the excellent impression
which Mr.. Thurston made on the conven-
ton this afternoon, both by his happy
speeches and his excellent administration
of his office. has been quickly seized by
the booms-the Hobart boom in the East.
the Evans boom in the South and the
Thurston boom in the West. He Is thus
working boom in every geographical Sec
tion where the two other booms do not
seem TO find favor. His figures tonight
concede a strength of between 800 and $50
TO Mr.. Morton. For Mr.. Hobart he claims
an equal number of votes. Mr.. Evans's
following he places at $50 to 200. He ex-
poets two ballots, and on the second bal
lot he expects Evans and Thurston to
transfer their vote to Hobart. The vice
presidential situation tonight remains as
1t has always been. Hobart is Mr.. Hanna's
candidate. though he is not Mr.. Hanna's
personal favorite.
At midnight the Hobart feeling is so
strong that it seems safe to venture the
assertion he will be nominated If condi-
tions do not change too radically within
the next twelve hours. New factors threat
EN- to enter the situation at any moment.
Thus Senator Davis. of Minnesota, has
been duped into sending a telegram an
nouncing his candidacy. There may be
more such episodes, but at this time it
looks very much like Hobart on the second
ballot.
Senator Proctor, of Vermont. tells me to-
night that the Vermont delegation will not
vote for Morton. nor will New Hampshire.
