OPEN WAX IN ILLINOIS.


The Cs4lIosn Forces Are Arrayed against
McKtnley's Adherefts.
CHICAGO, ILL, March 18.-The Illinois
supporters Of Major Mckinley have per-
fected their plans to secure the indorse-
ment OF their candidate by the Republican
State convention, which meets in Spring
field April 90, and thereby nullify the
election of uninstructed delegates to the
National convention in each Congress
slonal district. The Business Mems Nc
Kinley Club of Cook County has been
chosen as the medium through which the
plan is to be carried out, if possible.
General McNulta, who is chairman OF
the clubs executive committee in the ab-
sence OF fSamuel w. Allerton in Europe, sent
out to-day by direction of the committee
circular letter TO every county commit
teeman, State and National delegate and
Republican of prominence throughout the
State, urging all to support and work for
the Endorsement of Mckinley by the State
convention.
The letter frankly admits that the club
wants to know what State delegates favor
the nomination of the Ohio citizen and
who are opposed. Blanks for reply are In
closed and those marked confidential
are to be treated so.
Among Chicago Republicans identified
with the State organization or the city ad-
minlstration, the news that this circular
had been distributed was received as a
direct and open effort to defeat the no.
instruction policy of the party managers
and undermine the candidacy OF Senator
Cullom. Open war is declared from now
on by the Cullom forces against the Nc
klnley adheren is in Illinois.

HUTCHINSON, KANs., March 1S.-The
Populists OF Kansas held an enthusiastic
convention here to-day and elected ninety
two delegates to the National convention
at st. Louis.
There was unusual interest attached to
this convention, for it was expected to out
line the policy of the Populist party in
reference to National politics in the COM
ing campaign. The delegation will be
headed by ex-governor Llewelling, John
w. Breidenthal, chairman of the State
Central Committee, ex-Congressman Har-
ris and Judge Frank Foster as delegates
large.
The platform adopted demands the free
coinage Of both gold and silver at ratio
of 16 to l, and, if necessary for the protec-
tion OF tue producing classes, the Govern
ment ownership of all public utilities.
The convention was attended by leading
Populists from other States, and it is I'M
derstood efforts will be made to unite with
the Independent Bimetallists at their st.
Louis convention upon ticket, though
each convention may adopt its own plat
form. Taubeneck of Illinois and Nc
Dowell of Tennessee are here pressing
that scheme.

NEBRASKA LAND SUIT.
The Government May Be Induced to

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 18.-Sen-
ator Allen, Representative Meikeljohn and
ex-senator Manderson of Nebraska had a
conference to-day with Attorney General
Harmon, Secretary Smith and Commits
sioner Lamoreaux of the Land Office in
regard to the pending suit of the United
States against the settlers upon 100000
acres of lien or indemnity lands of the
Burlington Railroad Company.
BY the terms of the act of March 2 the
title of the railroad com pany to these lands
was confirmed, as were also the titles of all
bona-fide purchasers of railroad lands, and
the Nebraska gentlemen contended that
the question of good faith of the purchasers
could be determined by the Interior De-
partment without suit, and the dismissal
Of the proceedings in the Circuit Court for
Nebraska was urged by them. Their rep
resentations favorably impressed the Gov
ernment officials and they expect that
within few days the suits will be dis
missed. II that shall be done the same
course will doubtless be pursued toward
the settlers upon about 250, 600 acres ofland
in Iowa.
