The ethics of the difference between

in the "reminiscences which he published
shortly before his death. 1t was II case

MANLEY ADMITS TT.
Comedies that Mckinley will be
Nominated on the First
Ballot.

st. Louis, Mo-, June 11.-Mr Manley
of Maine said yesterday afternoon: in
my judgment the convention will nomin-
ate Gov. Mckinley on the first ballot for
the presidency. 1t is useless to attempt
to deny that this VIII be the result. The
action of the National committee in it's
overwhelming vote on the Alabama case
settles cOnclusivey how the respective
states which the members of the commit
tee represent, will vote in the convention
Mr.. Reeds name will be presented to
the conventions, ana he will be voted for
and, l am authorized to say, that under
no conditions or circumstances can he
or will he accept the nomination for
vice-president if it should be rendered
to him. The great majority of the New
England delegates will be loyal to Mr..
Reed, but it is my opinion that the con
yention is for Gov. Mckinley and will
nominate him."
Washington, D. c., June 11.-The in
terview given by Joseph Manley con-
cedlng the nomination to Mckinley was
Il surprise and a shock to Speaker Reed
and his supporters in Washington. The
speaker refused to believe the report
when if was shown to him last night
and denounced it as lie. Today he de-
clines to speak of the matter. Mr.. Man
ley took the step entirely on his own
authority without consulting Mr.. Reed
or any of the Reed contingent in Wash
ington. 4 letter was received at Reeds
headquarters written by Mr.. Manley just
before he left Augusta for st. Louis in
which he said that he had not given up
hope of Reeds nomination.
His last step is embarra ssing to the
Reed men. One of the Reed mana gers
said: THE speaker could not believe
that Mr.. Marley had spoken as quoted
until we received confederation of the
interview. He has made mistake We
do not question his motives at all. Prob
ably he was labOring under the dis
enlargement caused by the adverse de-
cisiOns in the Alabama contests, which
we had expected to gain, as the seats
undoubtedly belonged to us. Perhaps he
was discouraged also by the number of
Mckinley shOuters who have arrived
early on the scene. We know that no
one can regret the interview today more
deeply than Mr.. Manley does. There are
100 delegates to the convention instruct
ed for Mckinley who do not want to
vote for him. Circumstances might
arise under which the convention would
see that the nomination of Mckinley
was unwise and in that event Mr.. Reed
would stand the best chance for the
nomination. We do not consider the
fight hopeless nor do we believe that Mr..
Manley does today. He made a mistake;
that was 81"

Monday-Will See Morgan
in New York.

Washington, D. c., June 12-The Sen
ate committee appointed to investigate
recent bond issues decided at meet
ing today to ask Secretary Carlisle to
appear before it at 1870 o'clock next
Monday morning. A dispatch to this
effect was sent to the treasury depart
ment and Mr.. Carlisle answered that he
would be present at the appointed time.
The meeting today was attended by
Senators Harris, Vest, WalthaI and Platt
and was held for the purpose of arang-
ing the general programme Of the in
quiry. The talk indicated that the mat
ter would be pushed to speedy con-
clusion, in order that senator's might
make their summer arrangements without
being subject to the call of the commit
tee.
It was the understanding that after ex-
aiming Secretary Carlisle next week,
the committee would proceed to New
York.. the middle or latter part of the
week, to take the, evidence of J. p Nor
gan and others there; The hearings will
be open to the public. At the meeting
today the, written statement, submitted
by Mr.. Carlisle, already published, was
read aloud and commented upon by the
various senators, but no votes or other
steps were taken which would indicate

DELEGATE DREW A KNIFE.
Row in the Missouri Caucus that
Threatened to be
Bloody One.

ST. Louis, Mo-, June 15.-The bad
blood between the Filley and Kerens
factions in the Missouri delegation de-
veloped a bloody turn after the delega-
ton had been in session an hour and u
half in room 21S at the Southern today.
Mayor 2. d. Hastain of Sedalia, drew a
knife on delegate Berry in the secret
session but was seized and prevented
from making personal attack.
The I\erens faction had been outvot-
ing the Filley people on several issues
raised. After Il test vote on a proposition
to postpone the selection of a national
committeeman until the contest from
Missouri had been passed upon, Hastain
made a sighting remark regarding Mis-
souri's "Old Man"
Berry was on his feet instantly and
made sharp personal attack on Has
tain. The latter, pale as death, at the
words flung at him by Berry, drew from
his pocket a knife, which warned the
other committeeman that it was time for
them to act. They pushed in between
the angry factionists, separated them and
and the fight was for the present at an

GROVER AND CUBA.
President Asked congressman Why
They Didn't Apply Their
Own Remedy.

Gallup, n. NJ, June Ex-senator Ste
phen NJ. White of California passed
through here today on his way from
Washington to his home in Los Angeles.
On the Cuban question Senator White
said "'It is not likely that anything de-
cisive can be done at present to assist
Cuba. The President told the committee
that waited on him to urge executive
action that the mere recognition of bellig-
erency would be of little benefit and that
armed Intervention only could put an end
to the state of affairs now existing in the
island. He told the committee that Con-
gress had the power to apply that rem
edy and asked the members if they were
willing to assume the responsibility. OF
course they were not willing. As the
President cannot and Congress will not
authorize armed Intervention there is lit
tie prospects of immediate relief for
Cuba"
Senator White denies that he is a can
didate for either president or vice-presi-
dent on the Democratic ticket.

HARVARD MEMS RIOT.
Celebration of Baseball Victory
Over Princeton Leads to
Trouble.

Boston, Mass, June 11.-Three thou
sand Harvard men, encouraged by the
phenomenal event of a Harvard victory,
fought 100 policemen in the streets OF
historic old Cambridge last night. 1t
was the biggest riot that the university
has ever seen.
The moment it was known that Har-
ward had won its baseball game with
Princeton there was a roar that shook
every window for a mile around. Then
all was pandemonium. In half al
hour there was on foot the biggest cele-
bratiOn ever known at Harvard. The
whole city was blaze of redfire, while
all kinds of fireworks spurted in every
direction, and the evening was made
hideous with the blasts of a thousand
giant horns. a mammoth procession
was formed and marched to Harvard
square. The police experimenting trou-
BILE, were out in extra force. The ma
jority of The Harvard men were armed
with reyolyers and took up a running
voliey, firing into the air.
While cheering for the individual
members of the team was going on, Clay
Stone Briggs, a Harvard student from
Galveston, Tex. was arrested. He had
discharged his revolver in the very face
of q policeman.
AS the policemen were hurrying him off
the mob took in the situation and there
dents to the rescue. A line of Harvard
men jumped on the backs of the police
men, who still chung to their prisoner.
Arthur T. Pilling. a student from Wash
ingtOn, was the first to tackle an officer.
He was promptly knocked down.
Goldwaith Dorr of Orange, n. j., a stu
dent, jumped on another policeman He
was seized and arrested Many police
men and students received wounds.
Three arrests were made.
For an hour 5000 mad students sur
rounded the station clamoring for the
release Of their C)mrades. The chief
of police and prominent citizens adj
dressed the students and urged them
to dispense. The students paid little
attention to the officers and refused to-
dispense until the three men who were
arrested had been released on bail. They
then departed, cheering as Sley left the
police station with the three heroes
mounted on the shoulders of the mob.

REED IN TO STAY.
He and His Friends Are Indignant
at Manley and will Fight
it Out Now.

Washington. D. c., June 12-The
friends of Speaker Reed in Washington
said today that notwithstanding Mr..
Manley's statements they would continue
in the fight to the last. All day yester-
day, last night and this morning the
speaker has been in Geographic commune
cation with his friends at st. Louis.
He has asked them to go into the fight
and they have responded that they will
stick to him.
The speakers most intimate friends
here are indignant at Mr.. Marley and
say that besides its effect on the speak
er's canvass it will demoralize the fight
which is to be made for straight gold
platform under the leadership of Mr..
Reeds lieutenant Senator Lodge. Mr..
Lodge, they say, is to be on the COM
mittee on resolutions and is to make the
fight on the money plank in the COM
mittee and later if necessary on the
floor of the convention.
The speaker will remain here until
Sunday when he will leave for New
York. He had no public comment to
make today on Mr.. Manley's statement.
His private secretary said today: Mr..
Reed could not believe it and so stated
when he was first informed of the ex-
istence of the statement. The express
sion of that belief speaks eloquently
enough, it seems to me-
Senator Allison will leave here to-
morrow for his home in Iowa. On Sun
day Senator Dubois will leave for ST.
Louis TO assist Senator Teller in his
fight for silver.

here at 1 o'clock this afternoon. A big
crowd witnessed the departure and as the
train moved off chorus of hearty cheers

New York, June 1.-THE Chapman
Derrick and WrceSing company of 70
South street libeled the steamship st.
Paul this afternoon for 100000. The
claim is for salvage in rescuing the ship
and cargo from the bar off Long Branch
last January.
Another action for 100000 is to be
filed later The parties interested have
been trying to settle the matter without
going to the law and could have done so
had there not been S1,35O,O0O of gold in
the cargo. 1t was the salvage on this
that caused the suit to be brought.
