The Coming Election Will Not BE En-

LONDON, June 1S.-The Chronicle has
half column interview with Hon.
Henry Watterson. Of the presidential
election, he said he did not regard the
pending issue in America as directed
towards finality.
eff the Republicans come in" he
said, "they will find themselves as little
able to settle questions as the Democrats
have been in the last three years.
"For the moment" Mr.. Watterson
continued. ''the Democrats seem to have
gone to pieces but when the offices are
distributed next year and the battle and
resentments begun, and the Republi-
cans 60 to pieces, then there will be a
complete redistribution of party force
and there will be great and conclusive
contest in 1900, between sound and un-
sound theories of government, and
finance. The coming general election
will be largely a struggle for the offices. "

mouth and Merriam and all the men,
bers of the committee supporting the
majority report united III saying that
they never witnessed such scene. Sen
ator Teller displayed no bitterness, but
he was impressively sad in expressing
regret at what he termed the act of the
party Sin leaving him and his asso-
ciates." But it was left to other men,
bers from the West, notably Dubois,
Cannon and Hartman to become more
emotionally impressive than their
leader. The hearts of veteran poll
ticians melted like those of children
They were tears which were not shed
for dramatic effect. Among the speak
ers was Asa @. Cleveland, the member
of the committee from Nevada, who ex-
pressed his admiration for Mckinley.
He said he would oppose him with all
his might, as he knew Mckinley would
not only stand on the platform, but that
he would carry it out to the letter Mr.
LaFollette, the member Of the commit
tee from Wisconsin, who had been q
member of the committee on ways and
means when Mckinley was its chair
man,
Resented the Charge of Senator Teller
that others had been more instrumental
in framing the Mckinley law than Nc
Kinley. In vigorous speech Mr. La
Toilette claimed that he knew William
Mckinley to be the author of the tariff
law of 1890 and that he only showed
due courtesy to other members of his
committee in comforting with them
while he himself gave personal atten-
tion to the preparation of all the sched-
ules. The secession speeches produced
sadness, not applause. There was no
cheering by the victors when they car
ried their point by a vote of Al to 10.
The committee was in executive session
all day and no visitors were admitted
Even the adjoining halls were guarded
and no hearing was given to those who
wanted to be heard on different points.

ST. LOUIS. June 1S.-Wednesday
night of convention week was some
time ago marked on the programme of
the Mckinley boomers for torchlight
parade to demonstrate to the people of
st. Louis and the convention visitors
the popularity of the Ohio candidate.
Unfortunately for the plans Of the
Buckeye enthusiasts a driving rain
made marching an exceedingly dis
agreeable and sloppy exercise. The
elements were discouraging, but,
nevertheless, the managers of the affair
determined to carry out their pro-
gramme, and they did so. Barrels of
red fire were burned along the line of
march and skyrockets were profuse.
Five thousand marches were in line.

present and told the other members Of

that, Notwithstanding their instructions

that the occasion was one when every

Marquis de Dores Once Owned a Large
Ranch There.


Ranch There.
ST. PAUL, June 1S.-The financial
misadventures of the Marquis de Mores
in this country, where he exhausted
both the patience and the generosity of
his father.in-law, are too well known
to need more than passing reference.
He lived in North Dakota for a time,
owning large ranch there, and the
stories of his encounters with the "bad
men" Of the wild and woolly west''
involving the loss of several lives, and
likewise the account of his wholesale
meat venture in New York have been
told over and over again.
1t was not only love of adventure
that induced the good looking mar
quis to undertake this hare Drained ex-
pedition across the Sahara desert from
the Tunisian frontier to the Sou
dan. His life in France
Had Become Unbearable
since those financial misadventures of
his, which resulted in his father, the
old Duke of Vallombresa, presenting a
petition to the Paris courts for the
nomination of curator, or trustee, for
the remnant of the fortune of his son on
the ground that the latter was no
longer fitted to be entrusted with the
administration thereof. Thecou COM
piled with this request greatly to the
indignation of the marquis, who was
reduced thereby much to the same
status as that of an undischarped hank
rupt in England.

denouncing the committee on creden-
tials for presuming to accept unchal-
lenged the findings of the national COM

famed into flame all the bitterness of
the convention. Mr.. Fort of New Jer-
sey and General Grosvenor of Ohio
were put forward to champion the re-
ports. Mr.. Hepburn Of Iowa led the
opposition. The lines were not drawn
absolutely, as quite a number who are
pledged to Mckinley voted with the
opposition. They were defeated 5451a

not overthrow the

call on it's final adoption.
General Harry Bingham of Pennsyl-
vania, who has been secretary of the
Republican national convention and
who is chairman of the committee on
rules of the present convention, then
presented the report of that committee.
General Bingham makes picturesque
figure. He is small in stature and
dresses in the height Of fashion. Cen
eral Bingham read the ra)ort of the
rules committee in strong voice, but
it wearied the convention, and Webster
Flanagan of Texas asked that the fur
ther reading of the report be dispensed
with. General Bingham declined to
yield. On the completion of the read
ing General Grosvenor's motion to ad
journ was carried.

endorse, claiming that until his candi-

be unwise and unpolitic for him to do so.
AT Mckinley headquarters it is said
that Hobart has 800 votes, Morton 800
