As there has been much speculation a.
TO what has called forth this particular
report from the consul general. II can
be stated that aside from some brief
cablegrams announcing his arrival and
the receipt OF instructions, nothing has
yet been heard officially from the new
consul general so that a report from
him In the ordinary course OF congal
routine is fully due. While II u tr1e
that the consular officers under Their
general instructions are expected to re-
port to the state department at any
event what might be OF interest TO our
government, II cannot be learned thai
General Lee was under any fnstrdc-
tions to make a report upon the policy
to be pursued towards Cuba. For such
information respecting the military
situation as he could have gathered
while pent up in Havana and at a dis
tance from the fighting line. the state
department would be grateful and II
would carry weight In view OF the mil
itary experience OF the consul general.
but after all, his report will be Of value
In exact accordance with the facts con-
tained, and II is hardly to be supposed
that the consul general will go beyond
such a statement.

an effort is being made by some to have

that Teller will be in position by that
time to offer some proposition looking
to a fusion. though many are In favor
of a straight-out instruction for Bland.

Columbus. Ohio. June 22.-Deiegates
to the democratic state convention are
coming in slowly. The convention does
not meet until Wednesday. all the
preliminary work being done by the
district delegates and at committee
meetings tomorrow evening. Hon.
John McMann Of Dayton, having de-
clined to act as temporary chairman
on the ground that he has been too
frequently turned down by the party,
the question Of who will preside is be-
Ing discussed. but the temporary chair
man Will not be named until the state
central committee shall meet to-mor-
row. Dan McConville, formerly sixth
auditor Of the treasury. and Allen w.
Thurman are the leaders Of the free
silverites, who will have q big major
ity In the convention. McConville
claims there are 526 delegates pledged
to vote for a free silver plank in the
platform and So pledged to the gold
standard. while 65 are doubtful. The
gold standard men only claim 100 to 125
delegates. The majority Of the silver
men Is 50 great that the convention
will probably adopt the unit rule.
The delegates at large to the
national convention at Chicago will
all be pronounced free silver men of
national repute. II is conceded that J.
r. Mclean. Allan w. Thurman. and ].
w. Bookwalter will be three Of the
delegates-at-large. The contest for
fourth place is said to lay between L.
Z. Holden OF Cleveland. E. B. Finley
Of Bucyrus, and J. Blandin Of Cleve-
land. There Is a scarcity Of candidates
for places on the state ticket, and 1t Is
probable there will ne some new
names on 1t.

Ths Iliinol, Democratic Convention.


Peoria. ILL.,, June 22.-Never before In
the history Of Illinois politics has there
been a political convention as unique
as that to be convened tomorrow
promises to be. 1t will be called to
order without a single candidate for
the nomination for governor. OF course
everybody says Governor Altgeld will
be nominated. According to w. H.
Henrichsen, chairman of the demo-
cratic state central committee. 96 per
cent Of the delegates to the convention
have been instructed for him and the
others are solid for him. On the other
hand, Governor Altgeld says he is not
candidate. Several months ago he
even went so far as to say that he
would not accept the nomination. But
the democratic leaders declare they
gate who has arrived in the city has
called upon the governor to-day, and
everyone of them told him he was their
choice and that no one else would do.
In conversation Governor Altgeld
had with delegates who have consulted
him. he has had but little to say re-
garding himself, nor has he permitted
them to indulge themselves. His
whole thought and talk has been re-
garding the national convention to be
held in Chicago week after next. 1T Is
duty the free silver democrats owe
to the so-called common people Of this
nation" he said. ITO carry their point
as to the financial plank. whitney and
the loud-mouthed goldbugs of his class
have never led the party to anything
but humiliation or defeat during the
last 80 years." Then. referring to
Whitney's statement that he believed
the gold men would control the party.
the governor said to a number OF dele
gates: IF the gold men control the
convention they will do 90 by the use
of arguments that have q ring to them
and a clink as they pass from hand
and pocket"
State Chairman Henrichsen, speaking
of the talk that Senator Teller might be
named at Chicago, said that. while the
free silver democrats all had the high
est regard for him, not one of the hum
dreds to whom he had talked felt II
would be wise to nominate him for
president. Governor Altgeld and all
the free silver members of the state
central committee are opposed to in
structing delegates at large to the ma
tional convention to support any of the
presidential candidates. They are also
in favor of the adoption of the plank
with the words free silver at the ra-
ito Of 16 to T. In the state platform.
