HARRIS FOR CHAIRMAN
silver Men Make Demand on the Ma
tiouaI COMMITTEES.

silver Men Make n Demand on the Ma
tionaI Committee.
CHICAGO, July 1.-The committee an
pointed by the Democratic blmctallIc,
committee to confer with the executive
committee of the national Democratic
committee is conferring with the gentle
men COMPOSING this organization at the
Palmer House today. Chairman Har-
rity presides.
Members of the executive committee
have assured the silver men that 10
steps had been taken looking 10 tn"
selection of temporary officers. This
has had the effect of causing the mcm-
bers of the bimetallic organization to
feel that possibly their apprebcnslons
were unfour led and to conclude that
probably there will he no effort at snap
judgment They, how ever, presented
:, statement of the action of the bI
metallic committee. and asked that
that comm ttee be allowed TO suggest
the tempor; " presiding officer
If this request is not grantad they
will report . their full committee. and
the full committee viii proceed to select
a man for the place, and purpose Tor
his election at the outset of the conven-
tion in the face OF contrary nomlna
ton by the national committee. THIS
course Will not, however, be adopt' 81
without full warning to the national
cOmmltte, in case such warning appears
TO be necessary. Also i'll the event that
they would consent to compromise
that would allow the national commit
tee to make its own selection OF pre-
siding office, i'll case they agree TO take
a silver man and to submit the name TO
the bimetaiiic committee before am
nouncing the name.
The silver men are very determined
upon the point of not being thwarted
in this matter and are giving their en-
tire attention TO it They have told the
committee very plainly that the only
way to avoid clash in the convention,
and for the national committee to avoid
being repudiated Is for them TO accede
TO the wishes of the silver men i'll this
matter. They assert that it will have
to be made apparent from the begin
ming that it is to be a silver eonven-
tion. and that this can be demonstrated
in no way so clearly as in the selection
of temporary presiding officer.
The national committee Will not
meet until noon next Monday, the day
before the convention. No one appears
to have a definite idea as to what busl-
ness it will have before 1t. There have
been reports of contests from various
states. notably Michigan. Texas. Ne
braska Nevada and Colorado. but Sec
retary ShearOn says that so far he has
received official notice of none except
that from Nebraska
The silver men have given very little
attention TO the question as to who shall
be selected to preside, but speculation
turns more freely to Senator Harris of
Tennessee. 1t is suggested that the
task may be quite arduous for one of
s, nator Harms advanced age, but his
great experience and parliamentary
ability. as well as his popularity in the
party. will render him a formidable
candidate if he manifests a desire for
the honor The name of Governor HOgg
of Texas is also mentioned in connection
with the selection.

THE MINERS SURELY DEAD.
Very Little Hope of Rescue at Pitts
ton, Pa.

ton, Pa.
WILKESBARRE, Pa, July 1.-The stu
alton at the Twin shaft has undergone
no change. The rescuers continue to
work under great difficulties. The
squeeze is now general, and at the foot
of the shaft the loud rumbling noise of
falling rock in distant parts of the mine
can be heard.
Double timbering is now being re-
sorted to. 1t is very slow and tedious
work, and even under the most favora-
Ole conditions the workers could not
hope to clear a gangway TO where the
imprisoned men are In less than a
month.
The caveiu at .JeanSville some two
years ago offers a precedent for the Off
cialS of the Twin shaft. As long as
there Is a possibility of any of the men
being alive they feel il their duty to
continue the work of attempted rescue.
In the Jeansville cavein SIX men We're
imprisoned in breast of the mine for
l9-days. On the 18th day they We're
reached. Five men were dead and one
man was alive. The living man was
Big Joe" Polander He is now en-
plOycd as carpenter at Hazleton. He
has been interviewed on the probable
fate of the men in the PittstOn mine,
and says if they are alive and the air is
pure where they are they Will be able to
live for ten days at least 1t is taken
for granted there is water where they
are. and all of the men carried a good
supply of food, which could be used
sparingly during their imprisonment.
The appeal sent out by the board of
trade is already meeting with liberal re-
sponses. y gentleman from New York
who does not want his name made pub
lie, sends 81 600. Smaller subscriptions,
ranging from 81 to S25, have been re-
ceived. 1t is expected the whole coun-
try will respond to the appeal
1t is now stated that the number of
men in the Twin shaft is between 69
and 72

TElLER'S POSITION.
Waiting an Invitotion to Be the
Democratic Nominee.
NAME WON'T BE PRESENTED.
PopuIists and silver Republicans In Chi
C go Hoping Things VIII Come Their
way-say He Could Gain Many Votes
In the West.

CHICAGO, July delegates TO the
convention who have arrived generally
appear averse to discussing the proba-
bilitv that Senator Teller will cut any
figure in the Democratic convention.
The senator has number of personal
friends among the silver delegates who
have already arrived, and among them
are some who would not be averse 10
his nomination for pre- 'ident. They
feel, however, that the conditions are not
yet ripe for the springing OF his name
and say that it would be opposed TO the
interests of both Senator Teller and the
silver cause to bring him TO the front at
this time, if at all.
The Populists who are here say openly
that Mr.. Teller is the only man the
Democrats can name that they Will en
dorse The silver Repu icans are not
so pronounced. They put the matter
less pointedly by saying that Teller l.
the only man whose nomination wouih
insure the western states to the Demo
cratic ticket.
Ii is not now the purpose of the sena-
tors friends TO have him placed in nom
ination rs others will be. This course
they consider, would be III bad form
and contrary to Mr.. Teller'S wishes
campaign, but simply TO be on tn"
ground to answer questions and to take
advantage of any opportunity that may
offer.
Congressman ShafrOth of Colorado
was asked to define the claims of the
Teller men, and replied:
Senator Teller is not a candidate in
the sense Of seeking the nomination as
could a member Of the Democratic
party The friends of the senator who
cannot stand gold monometallism are
simply trying to impress upon the Dem
ocrats the enormous advantage there

ted his guilt and gave all the details of

The woman has been in the employ
of the state, and by bringing fruit and
flowers and by various other feminine
ways has secured the confidence of Co
tell. -Four deputy sheriffs concealed
themselves in the corridor and the
woman wormed the statement out of

beiegation-
CHICAGO, July 1.-The fact that the
Illinois delegation postponed its de-
cision as to what candidate it would
support in the convention has created
almost as much comment as the de-
cision which the delegation reached
looking to the abrogation of the two
thirds rule The only explanation made
Is that il was considered desirable TO
look the field over more completely
than has yet been possible before taking
a position
It Is iDtimated, however, that Gov
ernOr Altgeld, who is in complete con-
troll of the delegation, has plans of his
own which are not yet sufficiently
matured to he sprung. Those who ha1
talked with him say that he is espe-
