de]erat.. Gen. Bragg. the delegation

yention instructions bound the 6eleoa
tion to the unit rule and he therefore an
nounced the twenty-four delegates as not
voting. This was done pursuant TO a
caucus held the :. m5 5o - before. which de-

jected. maintaining that those delegates
who so chose should have the right of
voting for presidential nominee. The
chair held that silent voters were 10 DE
considered as absentees. but that every
delegate present who desired to vote had
the right to have his vote recorded. Dele
gate Malone then voted for Blackburn
and Delegates Dockery. Holsate and
Larson for Bryan.
Alabama, the first state to vote. head
cd the stampede to Brya Idaho, Cali

revolt in the other delegations spread,
even to those states bound by instruc-
tons, Kansas, Illinois, Ohio, and even
Iowa were tottering. On the fifth and
last ballot, Kansas went over. Illinois
and other states tumbling along in her
wake. When Ohio was reached Bryan
had 44G votes of the 5O4 required to
make two-thirds majority of the vot-
ing. Chairman White had ruled that
two-thirds of those voting constituted
the two-thirds majority under the rule.
Ohio hesitated. The Bryan men de-
manded a poll of the vote. The friends
of Mclean saw that the end was in
sight, and Mr.. Mclean himself mounted
a chair and withdrew his name rs
candidate and cast the forty-six votes of
Ohio for Bryan. This gave him 1872,
twelve less than enough to nominate.
Montana changed her six votes to Bryan
and Oklahoma followed with her six.
To the territory of Oklahoma, there
fore, belongs the honor of nominating
the Democratic candidate for President
of 1896.
The other states then scrambled over
each other. Gov. Stone of Missouri
withdrew BANDS name, and Senator
Turpie of Indiana withdrew that of her
governor and. on his motion, the nomi-
nation was made unanimous.

the Robbers Arrest

LEBANON, Mo-. April 1.-The east
bound cannon ball train, No. 6, on the
St Louis & San Francisco railroad,
was held up three miles east Of here at
los o'clock this morning by three
masked men, and the safe blown open
and robbed. The robbers boarded the
train at this place and after reaching
the scene Of the robbery. held up the
engineer and fireman and stopped the
train and with the engineer in front
of them, marched to the express car
The messenger refusing to open
the door, twas blown open with dyua-
mite and the safe cracked and its con-
tents removed. Several packages Of
valuable papers were found this morn
ing beside the track with some money
which had been overlooked in the hur-
ry Of departure. The passengers were
not molested. The engine was de-
tached and run by the robbers to
Sleeper, where il was abandoned. &
brakeman hurried back to the city and
started Sheriff Jones and a posse on
the track Of the robbers.
Three strangers, who are supposed
to be the robbers, were seen drinking
in one of the saloons here at ten o'clock
last night, and were seen near the
depot by Night Operator Martin only
few minutes before the cannon
ball" arrived The brakeman gave
fair description of the men to the
officers in pursuit, and the railway Of
fcials are confident they will be
speedily apprehended.
While the amount of money secured
by the robbers is known to have been
considerable, the local express officials
will not place an estimate on it. The
Wells-Fargo Express Co. offers $500 re-
ward for the arrest of the robbers and
furnishes the following descriptions:
First-A large man, sandy, long, droop-
ing mustache, black overcoat black
SLOUGH hat aud wore belt with pistols.

THE BOND INQUIRY.
Senator Hill Still Employing Obstructive

Senator Hill Still Employing Obstructive
Methods to Defeat the Resolution.
WASHINGTON, March 3l.-An unex-
pected controversy arose in the senate
yesterday over the resolution providing
for committee Of five senators to in
vestigate and report all the material
facts and circumstances connected with
the sale of United States bonds by the
secretary of the treasury in the years
1894, 1865 and 1896.
Mr.. Hill suggested that this and the
two following calendar measures 60
over, as the senate was proceeding IN
der the five minute rule.
Mr.. PETER, the author of the resolu-
ton, insisted on going on and was rein
forced in his demand by Senators Wal
colt and Teller. Mr.. Walcott said it
was time something was done with the
resolution. If not acted on now, let the
senators agree when they would act on
it. Since the resolution was introduced
it had been rolled around and never
brought to a vote. Mr.. Teller also in
sisted that there should be no further
delay. He was willing to wait until
Wednesday for taking up the resolu-
ton, but Mr. Platt cut off an agree
p1nOt. nv an OhinctiOD
"Then I serve notice on the senator
from Connecticut, "CPlatt) said Mr.. Tel
Ter, shat We will take up this resolu-
ton and take it up very soon"
Mr.. Wolcott added: "Yes, and We
will take it up now, unless the senate
is too thin for a quorum"
It looked as though a vote would be
taken, but Mr.. Cockrell temporized.
He said there was no hurry, plenty of
votes would be available to take up the
resolution at the proper time.
Mr. WOlcOtt went on to declare that
the objections made were not casual.
The senator from New York had per-
sistentIy "shoved over" this resolution
from day to day. There was evidently
no purpose to inquire into the bond
deals.

Robert p. Kneebs, the Famous American
Horse Trainer, in Trouble.
New YORK, April /. - Robert F.
Kneebs was sentenced last January to
nine months in Jail and fined LOCO
marks for the alleged ringing" Of the
American mare Bethel on German
tracks under the name of Nellie
Kneebs, and last Friday a cablegram
from Leipsic said that the imperial
court had quashed the conviction and
ordered Eneebs released from Jail A
later cablegram, however, says that
the court has ordered the case retired
to the lower court and that 81 Ameris
can witnesses will be summoned and
the mare will be brought before that
court. Bail, it is added, was again
offered and refused.
The conflicting reports have revived
interest in the case. as opinion has
always been divided as to mis- guilt
Many, however, received the news of
his conviction with great satisfaction,
and it was thought that it would serve
as a notice to turf tricksters that their
day of successful operations were
about over. The same kind of fraud
has been frequently perpetrated on the
American tracks, and many states have
passed laws making it felony.

took place here yesterday The men,
classed as "murderers, violators and

an iron collar and screws behind it,
which, when turned, strangles or
breaks the uecls of the victim, was
set up by the executioner, Valentine
Ruiz, who, with his assistants was so
nervous that he could only tumble at
the screw, and one after another OF the
eXeeutioners took turns, but the con-
victed men died so slowly by the proc
ess and the scene was so horrible to
the spectators that strong men nearly
tainted before the fifth Cuban was pro-

Arrested on the Charge of Numbering the
Stone Family.
AKRON, o., April Yesterday after
noon Arson B. Strong was arrested for
the murder of Mr.. and Mrs. A. N. Stone
at Tallmadge on Saturday night. The
evidence is largely circumstantial.
Thirteen years ago Strong was sent to
the penitentiaFy for horse stealing and
his conviction resulted principally from
testimony given by Stone. Several years
later after his release from prison he
was again arrested for the same crime,
and again convicted on testimony given
by Stone. He was released a second
time about three weeks ago, and it is
thought he committed the murder for
revenge.
When taken into custody to-day,
Strong said he was at the home of his
sister on the Ravenna all of Saturday
night, and that be had gone to church
Sunday morning. A search of the sis
teF's house, however, resulted in the
discovery of a suit Of clothes and an
overcoat, which had been placed by the
stove to dry. There we're no blood
stains on the clothing, but Strong's sis
ter sald she had washed the garments
in an Clubhouse early that morning. Ia
one Of Strong's pockets was found a
railroad ticket from Ravenna to Kent,
the latter place being within two miles
of the scene of Saturday nights tragedy
The ticket vas purchased last Saturday.
The news ofthe arrest soon spread and
q big crowd assembled.

ST LOUIS, April The Taxpayers
league has brought suit to restrain
Mayor Cyrus P. Walbridge from col

suit is an application for an injunction
restraining City Treasurer Scudder
from paying the mayor his salary for
the month of March and restraining
his honor from accepting the check
from the treasurer The iniuuc-

that Mayor Walbridge has, during

salary amounting to 81, for the
time so wasted. The month of March
is specified in the injunction, because
during that month the mayor has been

GIIBl'S PROSPECTS GOOD.
Correspondent Rappelye Says the Insurgents
Hold the Island,
SPAIN ON THE DEFENSIVE.
Cuba Would Gain Her Independence in
Three Months Should the United
States Grant the Insurgents
BslIigerent Rights.

New YORK, April 2.-Among the pas
sengers on the steamer Yueatan, which
has just arrived here, was Ebert Rap
pelye, the newspaper correspondent,
who after three months stay in Cuba,
was banished by a decree of Gen. Wey-
Ter. He said. II unhesitatingly state
that within three months the insur-
gents cause in Cuba will be triumphant
if the United States will grant them
belligerent rights. The Spaniards are
now on the defensive. Every battle of
late had been invited by the rebels who
practically hold the island. When Gen.
Msceo started on his western campaign
one-third Of his men we're unarmed.
His forces have engaged 10 battle with
but three cartridges each, depending on
the capture of the enemy's train for
ammunition to continue the fight. The
men fight like tigers, and with the arms
and ammunition supplied by the Bermu-
da are again marching toward Havana.
If the Cubans had enough arms they
could pat 100000 well-drllled and oflc-
cred troops in the field"
Rebel Forces Increasing.
Key WEST, Fla, April Twenty
FIVE thousand insurgents under Gen.
Maceo are swarming over the provinces
OF Havana and Pinar del Rio, destroy
ing property, ripping up railways and
tearing down telegraph lines. Forty
five thousand Spanish soldiers are in
the same territory, and more are com
ing. Gen. Gomez is in immediate com
mand of the center column of rebels,
with about 5000 men. Gen, Maceo is in
the southern part of Havana province
with about 5000 men, and Gen. La Cret
is lowering about the outskirts of Ha-
vana with about 5000 cavalry. The
other 1000 men are divided into small
bands of pillagers. The insurgents
are we'll equipped and have plenty of
ammunition and are capable of giving
the Spanish a warm reception. The
activity noticeable about the palace of
Gen. Weyler seems to bear out the idea
that a crisis is near at hand.
