SWARMS OF IMMIGRANTS
Ellis Island Crowded by the
Horde of Pauper For.

ported.

NEW YORK, n. Y, April 14.-Ellis
Island is crowded by the advance guard of
the invading horde of pauper Italian i'm
migrants. Right on top Of the swarm of
nearly 1400 unloaded from the Bolivia
there came yesterday another hungry con-
tingent of 1900 landed from the steamer
Alesia from Mediterranean ports and the
Albano from Hamburg and Havre. OF
these all but few were Italians.
The immigration authorities are fairly
appalled,, and realize that no steps must
be neglected to check the influx. On the
island the immigration authorities were
driven almost frantic in their efforts to
control the clamorous horde of aliens, who
fairly fought to be permitted to land, and
the not less persistent mob of friends who
sought to obtain their release.
That term friend more frequently is
used as cloak by the padrones and immi-
grafton agents, who are ready to pose as
brothers or cousins in order to secure the
release of immigrants consigned to them,
who might otherwise be debarred from
landing. Such friends were in the major
ity yesterday, for it was known that among
the Bolivla's passengers were 260 of the
"barred" class, who, unless rescued, were
subject to deportation. In addition to
these there are 542 passengers under de-
tention until their claims can be passed
upon.
Many of the passengers by the Alesia
swelled the number of the "barred," )" which
rose to $40, or about one in every six of
of those arriving during the two davs.
This will be further increased tomorrow,
when another steamer arrives with about
1900 immigrants. Ellis Island presents a
scene of extraordinary activity, all avail
able space being covered with mass of
immigrants awaiting their turn to present
themselves before the examiners.

CHAIRMAN HARRITP,S VIEWS.
Says the Sound Money Democrats Should
Or0anfxe Eceryechere.

Says the Sound Money Democrats Should
Or9anfze Ereryschere.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 4.-In
speaking to-day of the political situation
IN the Democratic party, National Chair
man Harrity said:
II certainly do not agree with those who
expect that there will be two Democratic
National Conventions or bolt from the
regular Democratic National Convention.
l recognize and appreciate the fact that
the free-silver element. of the Democratic
party, up to the present time, is more ag-
gressive than the sound money men of
that organization. The free-silver men are
Systematically and energetically at work
with view to electing delegates and dele
cations who will favor the free, unlimited
and independent coinage Of silver.
cit is generally believed that in the
States in which the free-sllver element Of
the party prevails and in the majority, the
unit rule will be adopted, in order that the
States In question may prove as effective
as possible in the interest of free silver.
This will apply to the adoption of plat
form as well as the nomination of the
candidates. AS you know, a majority of
the convention has the power to make the
platform, but it will take two thirds of the
convention to nominate it's candidates.
81 can only repeat what I have hereto
fore said, that while still believe thai the
sound money element of the Democratic
party will be in control of the Chicago
convention, yet what now seems likely to
be majority may easily become minor
lty by reason of the supineness or neglect
of the sound-money men of the party
81 would say to the sound-money Dem
ocrats of the country, organize, organize
everywhere if they want to adopt a plat
form and nominate candidates who will be
for the best interests of the country and
conducive to the permanent welfare of the
Democratic Darty"

Leaders Preparing to Do Battle
Against the Policy of
God Bugs.
THERE Is A PROMISE OF STRIFE
Serious Trouble Expected in the S..
lection of the National Dele.
gates.

SEDALlA, Mo-, April 14.-Incoming
trains to-day brought the advance guard
OF the Democratic State Convention to be
held here tomorrow. The executive
committee met this afternoon and, after
spirited canvass between Colonel W. II.
Hatch and Hon. NJ. f. Benton, the former
was selected temporary chairman by a
vote OF 16 to Is. Senator q. F. Cochran of
Buchanan County is favorably mentioned
for permanent chairman.
Nearly all the prominent leaders of the
sllverites and gold bugs reached here this
morning, and some of the liveliest hust-
ling ever witnessed IN Missouri campaign
IS being carried on. Among those active
In the button-holing of delegates and the
manipulation of modern conduit systems
are Governor Stone. Hon. Richard P.
Bland, Colonel William Phelps. Colonel
Nicholas M. Bell, Secretary of State
Leseur, Auditor Seibert, George W. Allen,
Chairman Maffitt and ex-Congressman
Heard.
1t is admitted tonight that the silver
men will practically control the conven-
ton, and unless they are inclined to be
magnanlmous and adhere to the time
honored traditions of Democratic State
conventions there will be serious trouble
over the selection of National delegates.
1t is conceded that Governor Stone, ex-
Congressman Bland and Senators Vest
and Cockrell will be selected as the dele
ga:es-at-large to the Chicago convention.
The Sedalia convention will promulgate
financial platform which it is intended
shall be the money plank in the National
platform as adopted in Chicago. This is
not all. The Missouri silverites will go to
Chicago with the belief that they and their
fellow delegates from the Western and
Southern States are strong enough to
dominate and control the National con-
vention. To support this claim they will
present two pieces of Presidential timber,
namely, Governor Stone and "Silver Dick"
Bland
In case their attempts to control the con-
vention are frustrated they will hold in
reserve the threat that they will cast the
solid vote OF the Missouri delegation, &C
companled by that of several other neigh
boring States, for Ex-Governor Boies OF
Iowa, as the Democratic standard bearer
in the coming campaign. Some enthusiasts
even go so far as to predict that Governor
Stone of Missouri will be chairman of the
National Committee on Platform and will
make the principal speech in favor OF its
adoption.
Late tonight the cry of 'no quarter is
being sounded throughout the city, and it
is given out that the mandate of the people
OF Missouri must be obeyed, and nothing
less than solid free silver delegation
from this State shall be sent to Chicago.

ton, as he wiped his glasses, che did not
draw his salary, but he did receive ma
jority of the fair votes of the country and
that / believe is now conceded by every
body except the gentleman from Indiana"
Several gentlemen desired to ask Bart
lett questions. but he declined to yield,
saying he did not wish to be drawn into a
political discussion.
Livingston CD of Georgia, also MEM
ber of the Committee on Appropriations.
and supporting the bill, said it might
seem strange to persons on the outside
that the House should jump from an ap-
preparation of 81 coo, 600 in one session TO
$i1 0O0, 600 in the next. But he wanted to
congratulate people on the inside and out
side that this appropriation was to be
made at time when it was apparent that
Mr.. Mckinley of Ohio would be the Re-
publican nominee for President; that the
A. P. A would beat him; that the pure
Jeffersonian Democracy would take charge
of the Chicago convention, and that there
fore they could sleep comfortably, know
ing that money would be economically
spent and that the country would be safe
after the 4th of March next. Laughter
The bill has been prepared in accordance
with the suggestion of General Flagler, he
said, and If the committee b ad made a
mistake 1t was because it has been misled
by those who ought to be informed on the
subject.
Walsh (D.) of New York asked if Living
ston was aware of the fact that forty five
rapid-hre guns had been sent by the Brit
lsh military authorities to Kingston for
defense of the lakes?
Livingston-It would not make any diff
ference, Mr.. Chairman, if there were 145
L know that we could take Canada in three
weeks without regard to the number of
guns or the number Of men that could be
assembled within that time for her de-
Tense. Applause. Mr.. Chairman, hope
the bill will pass.
Baker (R.) of New Hampshire ex-
pressed his qualification that the bill was
so much better than those of preceding
Congresses, and regretted that the COM
mittee had not gone further and risen to
the full height of the opportunity pre-
sented.
The action of the committee was warmly
defended by Hemenway (R.) of Indiana
and Cannon (R.) of Illinois. They stated
that the committee had recommended an
APPROPRIATION of all the money that could
be expended for Notifications in the year
and authorized contracts for additional
work, money for which would be provided
in the coming session of Congress.
Cannon emphasized the statement made
by Hainer that this bill would do as much
work as had been accomplished by all the
fortifcation appropriation bills passed
since 1882. The only opposition to the
bill came from Berry CD of Kentucky,
who said that the expenditure of money
would be more profitable If it were put
into the construction of the best type of
battle-ships and coast-defense vessels,
which could be assembled at any point
threatened by a foreign foe, instead of for
fixed batteries.
The bill was read and without amend
ment was reported to the House and
passed without division.
At 4:25 O'Clock, on motion OF Hainer,
the House adjourned until tomorrow.

row in the Broadway Theater. There will
be 463 delegates in the convention. Arapa-
hoe County will have ninety-one delegates
representing the county. The leaders have
not yet decided who will be chairman of
the convention.
Charles S. Thomas and T. ]. O'Donnell
will probably go as delegates-at-large to
the National convention at Chicago.
Other delegates are uncertain owing to
divided interests. AS the Arapahoe
County Convention held to-day seems
solid delegation to the State convention,
bound by the Senate rule to fight the
Cleveland wing of the party, the contest
between the administrationists and the
silverites will not be as interesting as was
anticipated.
The presence of Senator Tillman will
aid the silver Democrats materially, and a
silver delegation OF fighting strength will
go to Chicago.
The San Francisco call., 1896-04-15

taken up at that hour to-day was called to
the attention of the Vice-President-Pe effer
offering, however, to withhold the resolu-
ton until Chandler should have finished
his speech. In reference to that offer
Gray (D.) of Delaware said that the ar
rangement was that he should follow
Chandler, and he added that that would
probably close the debate on that side OF
the question.
Cullom (R.) of Illinois made a sugges-
ton as TO not interfering with approprla-
ton bills, but Stewart (Pop.) of Nevada
remarked that before all the appropria-
ton bills were passed it was necessary to
know how much money there was on
hand.
The Senator need not worry about the
money getting out of the treasury" said
Cullom. "It is going out pretty fast. The
trouble is that it does not come in fast
enough"
"My dear sir, listen to what / have to
say" Stewart interposed. with $780,
600 900 in the treasury taken out OF clrcu-
latlon, the country feels the pressure of a
want of money il the Senator from Illinois
does not"
The Senator from Illinois," said Cul-
lom, "has always felt the want OF money"
"lf the bond resolution is up" Hill CD
of New York broke in, Il want to take a
hand in it myself" Laughter.l
After further colloquy on these lines, 1t
was agreed that the PETER resolution for
an investigation into the recent bond
issues should be taken up after Gray shall
have replied to Chandler's speech.
Then Chandler proceeded with his argu-
ment, which he addressed especially, ne
said, to his three judges, who sat near
him, the Populist Senators, Allen of Ne
braska, PETER of Kansas and Stewart of
Nevada. (This intimation OF the quarter
from which the decision of the question is
TO come created ripple OF laughter all
around the chamber.) He closed at 4:30
o'clock, when Gray CD of Delaware took
the floor, but reserved his argument
against Dupont's right till tomorrow.
The following bills were taken from the
calendar and passed:
Senate bill relieving the personal repre-
sentatives of John Sherman Jr., late United
States Marshal in New Mexico.
Senate bill for the relief of the estate of
Ramsay Crooks, appropriating 1919.
The Senate at 5 P. NJ. adjourned until
tomorrow.

OMAHA, NEBR., April 14.-The Republi-
can State Delegate convention will be
called to order tomorrow evening at $50
O'Clock, but prior to that time all the pre-
liminary work of selecting committees and
choosing temporary chairman will have
been accomplished. The presentation OF
the names of these committees will there
fore be a mere formality.
The city is alive with politicians, dele
gates to the convention and candidates for
office. Congressman Hainer, chairman of
the State Central Committee, cannot be
present. and the duty of calling the con-
vention to order will fall upon Vice-Chair-
man ]. J. Mallalu. w. P. McCreary of
Hastings has been spoken of for tempor-
ary chairman, and DR.. G. w. Collins OF
Pawnee City has following. The chances
are in favor of McCreary.
The election of delegates will be little
more than formality, at least so far as
three of them are concerned. John l..
Webster of Omaha T. B. Kennard of Lin
coin and Peter Jensen of Jefferson Cit y
Will be chosen by acclamation. Interest
In the matter was increased this morning
by the announcement that George H.
Thummell of Grand Island would con test
for the honor of being the fourth member
OF the State delegation.
The con sensus of opinion by those con.
suited on the matter seems to be that the
committee Will not go very heavily into
platform making. 1t is thought McKin-
ley will be Endorsed promptly, aud that
the money question will be touched on in
McKinley's words: "The money should
be as sound as the Government and as un-
tarnished as its honor"
