Neither One Had Anything to Say

CLEVELAND, o., May 22.-The Leader,
which better represents Mckinley, perhaps,
than any other newspaper in the United
States, will publish tomorrow in substance
The following upon the visit OF Quay to Nc
Kinley:
Quay came to Canton, not as the bearer of
messages from any man group of men, but
as the leader of the Republican party in
Pennsylvania. He did not come, as he face
tiously remarked in Washington, to question
Mckinley about his attitude on the money
question. He was a Republican leader, visit
ing the man who will certainly be the norni-
nee of the Republican party for president The
giving of Offices was not considered nor was
the campaign for the nomination discussed,
because every Republican knows that cam
paign to be practically ended. One thing they
did discuss was the campaign which McKin-
ley will enter against the Democratic candi-
date for president. The conference was most
pleasant and cordial on both sides. The visit
of Quay was such as will undoubtedly be
made by many other Republican leaders, both
before and after the st. Louis convention.
At IA p. M Senator Quay was driven from
the Mckinley home to the depot and took a
train eastward. Both Mckinley and Quay de-
clined to be interviewed about their confer
ence. Later In the afternoon Mckinley start
ed for Cleveland to join his wife and remain

HARBoR BILL REPORT.
Conference Agreement Accepted
After Some Scathing Talk.

Conference Agreement Accepted
After Some scathing Talk.
WASHINGTON, May 22-The Phillips labor
commission bill, which was to have come to
a vote in the house today, was completely
crowded out by conference reports on the
river and harbor and sundry civil bills, and
will now go over until next week. The re-
port on the silver and harbor bill, which
showed an agreement on all Items save that
relating to the Santa Monica and San Pedro
harbors, was made the basis of a very bitter
attack on the bill by Messrs. Hepburn Rep.,
Io) and Dockery Oem, MOI. The latter said
he opposed this measure because 1t contained
riotous appropriations, not warranted by the
condition Of the treasury. Mr.. Dockery's re-
marks about the Impoverished treasury and
his appeals to the people were received with
derisive jeers by the Republicans. At the
conclusion Of his time, Mr.. Hooker offered to
yield him fifteen minutes more II he would
point out single item in the bill that was
not justified. Loud applause.) The challenge
brought Mr.. Hepburn (Rep., Io) to his feet
with scathing speech on the bill. The bill,
said Mr.. Hepburn, had been passed by a
brutal majority without debate, and he made
the assertion that not a section of the bill had
ever been read in the house; seventy-fve
millions carried in bill, and not a paragraph
of it ever read or considered. "Shame,
shame" he cried; "shame or such false pre-
tense. Why did you force the bill through In
forty minutes if you were not too cowardly
to face an investigation?"
Mr.. Hooker's motion to adopt the confer
ence report was agreed to, 169 to Sc. The
speaker reappointed Messrs. Hooker, Herman
and CathiDgs conferees. Mr.. Cannon followed
with the conference report on the sundry civil
bill. After some discussion the conference
report was defeated, SO to $50. At clock,
under the rule. the house took a recess until
evening, when private pension bills were con-
sidered

CAN'T CONVICT ROMANO.
A Smooth Swfndling Scheme Show
Up In the Duluth Case.

A Smooth Swfndling Scheme Shown
Up In the Duluth Case.
Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi. May 22.-The trial of Sam
uel D. Lisbon, alias Walter Romano, the al
legged directory swindler, is in progress in
the district court, and the testimony de-
veloped the fact that the scheme used by the
swindler was smoother than was supposed at
first. Last summer an agent thoroughly
canvassed the city for advertising for the
index business directory. He got few adyer
tisements, but all were unwilling to have their
names inserted free Of charge. A large num-
Der of business men signed written papers,
giving their consent to this, and they were
much surprised when these same papers
came back in the hands of Romano as con-
tracts for paid advertising. The signatures
are undoubtedly genuine, but the contracts
have been added since. Romano Is on trial
for forgery. but 1t is doubted II the charge
can be made to stick, as there is no forgery.
He is defended by Seymour Stedman and J.
M. McClintock. Stedman Is from Chicago
where the gang Of which the police claim
Romano is member, is located.

North Dakota Decisions.

BISMARCK, N. D., May 22.-The supreme
court has handed down two decisions, the first
being in the action brought by James Elton,
assignee Of e. T. Spafford, VS.. M. j. o'Con-
nor, as sheriff of Grand Forks county, an ap-
peal from the decision of Judge Templeton,
who held that the insolvency law Of the state
was unconstitutional. The decision is re-
versed, the court holding that part of the law
is constitutional. This is victory for the
assignee. The other opinion was in the case
of Homer E. Sargent, appellant, VS.. Charles
f. Kindred, respondent; an appeal from Cass
county. The decision Of Judge Mcconnell is
reversed and an order entered denying the
motion to vacate judgment. Both opinions
are by Judge Corliss.

SIOUX FALLS, May pa report has
been sent out from Yankton that after the
adjournment Of the late Democratic conven-
tion at Aberdeen the free silver delegates
met and selected eight delegates to Chicago
who were to go as a contesting delegation
the eight being Ross. Lynch. Pratt, Barrett
Neumayer, Abel Taubman and Mullen. On
receipt Of this dispatch w. A. Lynch of
Huron. who led the free silver fight, was
asked by wire about it's truth. He pro-
nounees it false. The free silver men met
after the conclusion Of the convention and
debated the question, but finding that there
was excuse upon which to base a contest
they voted the proposition down. There is
no talk whatever of a contest though there
is considerable grumbling among the free
silver men against the federal Office holders
who ran the convention.
