THE M'klNlEYsWAVE.
How It Started aud Gathered Force ms 1t
Rolled Along.

Montpelier, April 29.-One month ago he
would have been considered to be talking
through his hat who made the statement
that the first choice of Vermont republi-
cans for the presidency was any other one
than Thomas B. Reed of Maine. One
week ago he would have been regarded as
n poor political prophet who predicted that
the State convention to elect delegates TO
the national convention would declare Tor
William Mckinley of Ohio.
1t has been generally supposed that the
gallant major was the second choice OF a
majority of Vermont republicans, but
that he was the first choice of any number
was not made apparent until the holding
of the caucuses to elect delegates to to-
days conventions. A few delegations
were instructed to favor Mckinley, while
In other cases there was a mere expression
of opinion in his favor. But 1t all went
to show that the feeling existed to a
greater or less extent. On the arrival OF
the delegates yesterday II was reported
that one of the most prominent republic
cans In the State had in his pocket reso-
luton, which he proposed to introduce at
the proper time, announcing Vermont's
preference for the son of Maine.
Gen, Mccullough in his admirable little
speech at the State League meeting in the
afternoon, felt the pulse of his audience
sufhciently to show that there was very
marked Mckinley sentiment present. Sem
ator Thurston, In the evening, satisfied
himself ana everyone else that a majority
OF his hearers were for Mckinley. Then
1t was that the question was asked not
whether Reed resolution would be in
troduced on the morrow, but whether the
leaders OF the party, who believed II
would be unwise for the convention to de-
clare In favor of any man, could keep the
enthusiastic McKinleyites from putting
the convention on record as favoring their
man. The Mckinley managers. and there
were some shrewd ones present, spent n
good portion of last night in counting
their forces. Sy morning they regarded
their strength In the proportion of two
and one-half to one, and decided to bring
the matter to a vote. The gallant band
OF Reed men tried to stem the tide and to
transact the business OF the convention
without endorsing any man. Meanwhile
the Mckinley sentiment was all the time
growing, and when the battle eliminated
with victory perched on the banners of the
Ohio mans supporters there was scene
or wild enthusiasm never equalled in a
Vermont convention. The opposite of pro-
tection' had won and the Green Mountain
State had named William Mckinley as its
choice for president

SAN DIEGO PIPES

There Is No Water Anywhere, Not Even a
Drop to Drink
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 6.-The water of the en-
tire Sweetwater system, owned by the San
Diego Land and Town company and used
to irrigate 1000 acres of land in Chula
Vista, Otay, National City and other places,
was cut off today, and not a drop is flowing
through the pipes.
This action on the part of the company
is the result of an old quarrel wi h ranch
ers who use the water. Last summer the
company gave notice that the water rates
of $3.50 per acre would be
doub led. The ranchers took steps
to oppose the increase, whereupon
the company decided to postpone the in
crease in rates till the first of the present
month. That date. however, found the
ranchers as firmly opposed to the new
rate as ever, and result the new COM
pany today cut off the water, as stated
above. The company's attorney went to
Los Angeles today, and it is understood
his purpose was to apply to the federal
court there for an injunction restraining
the ranchers from bringing suits in the
state courts to have the increased rate de-
clared illegal. The affair has Great ed much
eXcitem ent.

vided for, and the agricultural schedule
will be increased to 20 or 25 per cent of

such action today unless pair in the COM
mittee can be arranged for him.
Following is the full text of the substi-
tute for the bond bill adopted by the SEN
ate finance committee today:
That from and after the passage of this
act the mints of the United States shall be

January 19, 1897, and upon the same
terms and subject to the limitations and
provisions of the law regulating the coin
age and legal tender quality of gold, and
whenever the said coins herein provided
for shall be received into the treasury, GER
tihcates may be issued thereon in the man.
ner now provided by law.
Sec. 2. That the secretary of the treasury
shall coin into standard silver dollars as
soon as practicable, according to the pro-
visions of section one of this act, from the
