Never before in the history of the state
has the attendance at a state conven-
tion been so large. Fully IL, 600 people
gathered in the great building at the
state fair grounds to watch proceed

spectators were given to the customary
habit of cheering and shouting Only
once or twice applause was INDUCED in
upon the arrival of some

wild enthusiasm. According to the
programme now prepared the conven-

attorney general. Then according to
the agreement between the machine
leaders and the McKinleyites the reso.

Muscular Politics Prevailed Among Dis
trict Delegates at Springfield.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, April 30.-There
was riot at the meeting of the dele
gates of the Second congressional dis
trict Revolvers were drawn, and
while no one was seriously injured,
there was good deal of violent punch
ing, and there was a liberal use of
chairs as weapons of assault. 1t was
started by the Hon. Buck McCarty, of
the stockyards, who came out of the
fight with one eye closed up. AS soon
as the meeting was called to order, Nc
Carly became involved in quarrel
with William Webb, of the district
central committee, about seats at the
convention. Buck pulled slung shot
and attempted to strike his opponent.
In an instant every man present was
on his feet and a free fight ensued.
Deputy Sheriff Morris Hayes drew q
revolver and tried to use it, but was pre-
vented. Tnen chairs were seized, and
scarcely a man came out without bat
tered head.

Hard Fight Made for Silver In the
Michigan Democratic Convention.
DETROIT, April 30.-Sound money
had won complete victory when the
Michigan Democratic convention ad-
journed shortly after s p. m. This
victory was accomplished by the mar
row margin of So majority out of a to-
tai of some 800 votes. The administra-

adopted their resolutions entire and
elected all their delegates at large and
alternates. The free silver contingent
took their defeat hard, but there is no
anticipation of any bolt to speak of,
although such talk was indulged in by
few Of the radicals. The administra.
ton men are jubilant over the result.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, April 30.--
Last Saturdays horrors were repeated
threefold in the destruction by second
fire during the afternoon. To an in
creased amount of property destroyed
on Saturday the fire adds the loss of
life and leaves 5000 or 1000 people
homeless in city of desolation with
no place to sleep and no food to supply
their daily wants. Now, indeed, is
this city in ashes. The business por-
ton of the city left standing is less
than would cover city block. The

were formerly the suburbs on the

The firemen fought feebly for few

and in its track lay the heart of the
business section. All the water turned
upon the flames had no appreciable
effect. The disaster of Saturday was
fresh in the minds of all, and the first
inclination was to remove everything
