MANIA FOR BLAZEs.
Twp Young Firebugs Confess to
THAR, GriIt

Twp Young Firebugs Confess to
Their Guilt.
WALTHAM, Mass, May 15-William
T. Reid. Is years old, and William H
Dayley, 20 years old, both of Cam
bridge, who acknowledged that they
were the perpetrators of many incendi-
airy fires which have recently occurred
in Waltham, Newton, Cambridge,
Somerville and other places, were ar
raigned in the district court here to-
day. The charges of incendiarism
against the boys refers to the destruc-
ton of property valued at more than
$1,500,000. The Boston & Albany rail-
way, at their Brighton stock yards,
and the G. w. Gale Lumber company
and the Holt & Bagbee Lumber com
pany, of Cambridge, have been the
heaviest losers from incendiarism, the
latter firm losing nearly $1,000, 900.
Nearly all of the fires which have oc-
Cured during the last two years in
this district gave evidence that they
had been set. A few days ago, a barn
here was burned. 1t was then ascer-
tanned that two bicycle riders had been
seen in the vicinity of the fire. From
descriptions obtained the police of
Cambridge arrested Dayley on sus-
picion. He admitted that he alone set
the fire at the lum Der yard of Holt &
Bagbee, but that he had an accomplice
in Reid on other occasions, and the
latter was arrested. Reid substanti-
ated Dayley's story.
Both Dayley and Reid were formally
accused of three acts of incendiarism.

Wyoming Republicans Want McIxfn-
ley and Silver

Wyoming Republicans Want McIxfn-
ley and Silver.
SHERIDAN, Wyo. May 15-McKin-
ley and free silver were declared in
separable political twins by the Re
publican state convention today.
The committee on resolutions had a
warm session, lasting until midnight.
The platform, as finally reported, is
intended to meet the wants of all fac
tons and, therefore, satisfies none.
The convention was called to order
at 1870 a. M
The resolutions reported by the com
mittee were adopted without change.
The Wyoming delegation to ST. Louis
is composed of Willis Vandevanter. B.
B. Brooks, B. F. Fowler, Otto Grarnm,
j. c. Davis and c. c. Hamlin; alter
mates, H. G. Nickerson, McBarrow. w.
H. fitzpatrick. w. F. Britain, w. j.
Thom and j. II. Ryckman. They were
instructed to support Chairman Van
devanter for a place on the national
committee, and William MCKINLEY for
president. The delegates are also in
structed to work for a free silver plank
for the national platform. The finan-
cial plank, in full is as follows:
We affirm allegiance to the princi-
pies Of bimetallism as enunciated in
the Republican state platform adopted
at Casper, in 1894, and we commend
the record Of our senators and repre-
Sentatives in congress in maintaining
these principles, and we instruct our
delegates to the St. Louis convention
to take like action when the financial
plank of the platform at the convention
is being made"

Much Interest Centers Around the
Event Now on in Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, May 15.-Interest
scarcely less intense than that of a
national political convention centers
around the election of two bishops at
the Methodist general conference. Three
ballots were taken today and one of
these will not be announced until to-
morrow although the result is known in
certain quarters. The highest vote on
the third ballot is that of Chaplain Nc
Cabe and this is more than 100 short
of enough to elect. The balloting may
go on all day tomorrow. The vote ON
the third ballot is:
Chaplain McCabe, 234; Rev. DR.. Earl
Cranston, 203; Rev. DR.. j. E. W. Bowen,
ITO; Rev. DR.. j. W. Hamilton, 153; Rev.
DR. H. A. Butz, 113. In the third ballot
DR.. Cranston passed DR.. Bowen and
took second place.
The committee on the state of the
church had a lively session over the re-
port Of the subcommittee on sociologi-
cal topics. Certain members of the
committee very nearly quarreled but
finally good feeling prevailed Other
committees met and transacted i'm

evening an anniversary occasion was

CHICAGO, May 15.-Today, for the
Haymarket anarchists, a double hang
ing was scheduled to take place in
Cook county jail. The condemned men
were Alfred C. Fields, a negro and
Joseph Mandreth, a German. 1t was
to have been a triple hanging, but
Governor Altgeld yesterday gave res
pite to Mic Marsden, convicted Of the
murder of Fritz Holzhutter, a butcher
Fields slept soundly. His companion
did not get any sleep until long after
midnight When his wife left the jail
he cried Historically for nearly an
hour. Fothers Dore and Finn prayed
with him.
Fields, the negro, was executed at
1921 p. M. He smiled on the scaffold,
and said Good bye, old sport" to an
acquaintance.
According to his confession, on the
night of Feb. 20 last, he had quarreled
with Mrs. Ella Randolph, wife of a
Pullman porter and beat her head into
a pulp with fiat iron, and then set
fire to the house.
Just before the time of execution
word came that a stay of three weeks
had been granted by Judge Baker to
Mandreth, who became insane several
days ago, or was feigning insanity.
Mandreth was extremely violent, con-
stantly shouting hang up Mannow!"
On June % last, Mandrethl with
julius Mannow, an ex-convict, entered
the Office of c. B. Birch, the money
receiver of the Chicago Street Railway
company at Armitage avenue station,
and ordered Birch to hand cut the
money. Birch shot at the masked rob-
bers. At least a dozen shots We're ex-
changed. Birch fell pierced with three
bullets. Mannow made a complete
confession. Mandreth maintained his
innocence.

A. P. A.

Sweeping Manifesto Against Secta-
ri;;nism in Governmental Matters
WASHINGTON, May 15.-The ritual of
the a. p. A. as finally revised by the
/ committee, makes no direct reference to
i the Roman Catholic church, but makes a
sweeping manifesto against sectarianism
in government matters in a general way.
/ The direct reference was stricken out late
this afternoon, after long and heated con-
troversy, the advocates of the PROPOSE
ton finally prevailing in the committee
of the whole and the full report of the
committee was then adopted.
AT o'clock the advisory board took
charge of the convention and began a
Significant meeting. The charges against
Mckinley were taken up and a number
of those who signed the afldavitS making
the allegations appeared before the board
as witnesses. The result of the concluS-
ions of the board and the evidence that
was presented during its session will be
embodied in the report which will be
made TO the supreme council tomorrow.
1t was stated on what appeared to be
good authority that the board had before
it two persons who had been sent to Ohio
and seen Mr.. Mckinley and they had re-
ceived satisfactory answers 10 questions
propounded to him. No official state
ment of such proceedings, however, could
be obtained
1t was reported that the board would
report that the executive committee had
been misled by the evidence which it
used as a basis for the blacklisting of
Mckinley evidence found on inveStiga-
ton to be unreliable and untrustworthy,
and that it would further recommend that
the order should not endorse or condemn
any candidate for presidential honors
General GrosYenor, of Ohio, who, it was
said, had sent to Judge Stevens certain
charges against Mckinley and had taken
other action in regard to the pending
Mckinley matter before the a. P. A had
sent a letter to the Post of this city in
which he says:
Every publication in any newspaper
stating that Mr.. Hanna or Governor Nc
Kinley or anybody else had telegraphed
to me or written to me or spoken to me
orally in regard to any controversy in
which Judge Stevens is interested or in
which anybody else in that connection is
interested, is wholly erroneous"

AT PoCATELLo.
Idaho Convention viii Assemble
This Morning.

Special TO The herald.)
POCATELLO, Idaho, May 15.-The Re
publican state convention to select dele
gates to the national convention will
assemble here tomorrow morning. Only
few of the delegates have so far ar
rived, but a number of the leaders are
on the ground. There will be 249 votes
in the convention, nearly 200 of which
will be for Dubois. The lat-er's follow
ers will probably put him at the head of
the delegation, and will name no as
sociates on the delegation not thoroughly
in sympathy with him. The opposition
is made up of friends of Senator Shoup
who are very anxious that he be sent as
a delegate. This seems impossible, how
ever, as he has not been in full ac-
cord with Dubois. Many have hoped
Shoup would recognize the overwhelm-
ing sentiment of the state and announce
his adhesion to Dubois policy. Numbers
declare they would gladly unite in send
ing. him under such circumstances.
1t is possible that there will be a bolt
from the convention.
There are thirty or forty delegates
who appear determined to oppose a reso-
luton to pledge delegates to support
national nominees, and when it is voted
down, to. bolt and elect a contesting
delegation.

M'DONALD, Pa, May ia fire en-
failing the loss of TWO lives and the
probable fatal burning of five children
occurred here about 1890 p. m. a large
two story dwelling on the Patterson
and Santess lease was destroyed and
Mrs James Cadameire and her infant
were burned to death. Five other small
children who were in the house at the
time ran to aid their mother and were
all SO badly burned that little hope is
entertained for their recovery.
The cause of the sad tragedy was the
fatal oil can, the contents of which the
mother was using to hasten the fire in
the kitchen stove.

POCATELLO, Ida, May 15.-The Re
publican state convention will meet here
tomorrow to select delegates to the Ma
tional convention. About one-fourth of
the delegates have SO far arrived. Sew
eral of the leaders of both the Dubois
and Mcconnell factions are on the ground

Out of total of 249 delegates to the
state convention, about 200 will
answer the roll call tomorrow. 1t is said
not to exceed seventy of these will make
a fight for Governor Mcconnell Cor the
anti-Dubois element). Dubois will con-
troll large majority of the convention,
able that the convention will pass off
harmoniously and that the anti-Dubois
faction will not be in evidence. This
means that Dubois, Wilson and Sweet
will be the straight silver delegates,

termined at the convention tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The con-

appropriation bill have agreed to- allow
the amendment in the senate in regard

other conference will be ordered, prob
ably with instructions to- stand by the
provision as originally made by the
house. The senate amendment gave
two years extension to the sectarian
