Wdrshtp for JdpGm's Net0 Navy May
Be Built iss This City.
WASHINGTON, d. c., July 24.-Repre-
sentatives of the Japanese Government
arrived here tonight from New York. As
previously announced, they have invited
bids from Cramp Bios. and the Union
Iron Works, which firms are deemed
capable of turning out the finest of yes
sells. The bids were submitted to the
Japanese Minister in Washington. The
Japanese Government will receive bids
only from the Cramps and the Union Iron
Works for the two fast cruisers. The
national type of vessel was specified as
that of the Yoshino, one of Japan's navy's
recent acquisitions. The Japanese Govern
ment gave only meager outline of the
plans it wished followed, as the Emperor
desired to avail himself of American ideas
in the construction of new ships. AS a
result, there have been placed in the hands
of the Japanese legation here plans en-
bodying many novelties, which the two
largest firms in this country are capable of
producing.
The prices submitted will be regarded
as confidential for the present, but price
will probably not enter largely into the
matter, as it is understood to be the desire
large share of its ship-building patron
age in America. The chief object is to
get the best ships that can be built and
the United States will nave to compete
with ship building firms OF France.

Republication of Gn Old Speech Ansuses
the Politicians.
WASHINGTON. D. c., July M.-The
Evening Times created something of a
political sensation tonight by rehashing
a speech of Senator B. Hill. delivered in
the Senate last May. 1t was in reply to
Senator Tillman, who had dramatically
threatened to bott the Democratic con-
vention if it resolved for gold. Senator
Hill rebuked Tillman for his disloyalty
and said in part:
''Sir, no matter what may be in store for
US In the next campaign, come victory or
defeat, come sunshine or shadow, com e
veal or woe, there is where will be found
again in behalf of whoever may be the
Democratic candidate and whatever NAV
be the National Democratic platform in
the campaign. l do not expect to have
my Democracy stained in so doing. |
have confidence in the wisdom of the
Democratic masses and the Democratic
party.
Il hope that my friend, the Senator
from South Carolina, and 1 will not part
company at the doors of the convention.
do not even know that shall be there
as delegate to represent in part the De-
mocracy of my State. 1 may be so hon
ored and may not be, but will go there
with no threat; 1 will be there with no
menace; L will go there expecting to have
my say, to speak my sentiments and to
abide by the result of the convention when
when it is ended.'
The publication of this speech to-day
created great deal of amusement among
the politicians, who declare that there is
only one thing for Hill to do-support the
Bryan and Sewall tickat

BRYAN,S DECLINATION.
Refuses to Accept Endorsement by
the Popuiists Because SewalI
Is Turned Down.


ST. LOUIS, NO., July 24.-William ].
Bryan will not accept a nomination at the
hands of the Populists if they turn down
his running mate. Sewall of Maine. This
announcement is made on the authority
of Mr.. Bryan himself. Senator Jones of
Arkansas, chairman of the National Demo-
cratic Comm ittee, who has been in the
city for the past week laboring to secure
the Endorsement of the full Chicago ticket
has frowned upon the proposition to
"split'' the Populist ticket and has been
charged with having positively told the
leaders that they must nominate Bryan
and Sewall or do nothing at all.
It has been evident to Senator Jones for
the past forty-eight hours that he could
not wean over the men who have been so
bitter in their antagonism to Mr.. Sewall
on account of his Identification with a
National bank. against which system the
platform adopted this afternoon inyeighs.
AS soon as the convention decided to
nominate the Vice President tirst Senator
Jones wired Mr.. Bryan at his home in
Lincoln as follows:
ST. Lou1s-The Popuiists have decided to
nominate the Vice-President first If it is not
Sewall what shall we do? 1 favor your de-
clination in that event. JAMES K JONES.
Mr.. Bryan certainly did not hesitate
long in determining the character of his
reply. Senator Jones within sixteen
minutes after he sent his message had the
following reply handed to him in his
room at the Planters Hotel:
L1NcoLN-I agree with you fully. If sewaIl
is not nominated have my name withdrawn.
w. J. BRYAN
Senator Jones made no secret of the re-
ceipt of this telegram, which probably
means much for the Populists now as
sembled in convention, the length of
which has already become irksome to
some of the delegates. The telegram was
shown to a number of the Senator's per-
sonal friends and then sent to the eonyen-
ton hall to be read at the right time.
To representative of the United Press
Senator Jones said it was manifestly i'm
possible for Mr.. Bryan to accept nomi-
nation from the Populists upon a ticket
which repudiated his associate. There
was nothing left for him to do but with
draw and as soon as the convention had
carried out the fixed purposes, he said, the
Populists would be enlightened as to Mr..
Bryan's course. Further than this Chair
man Jones did not care to talk tonight.

That one may live in luxury and lie
Wrapped in its silken fold.
Mr.. Murphy of Georgia seconded the
nomination of Tom Watson. Asked by a
delegate If Tom Watson would stand on
the platform adopted by the convention,
Mr.. Murphy replied, amid laughter and
cheers, "Yes, sir, till hell freezes over"
L. II. Stockwell of Indiana seconded
Watson, stating that he had been twice
fairly elected to the lower house of Con-
gress and as often counted out, and now
they proposed to call him up higher.
Mr.. Weller of Iowa, once familiarly
known as Calamity" Weller. nominated
Frank Burkitt of Mississippi.
Mr.. Calhoun of the same State, on be-
half of majority of the delegation from
Iowa, asserted that the gentleman who
had Just spoken represented "a vast mi
nority" of the delegation, but did not rep
resent Iowa, which had no candidate to
present.
w. A. Harris of Kansas seconded the
nomination of Mr.. Sewall, but Judge
Frank Doster of the Kansas delegation,
speaking for portion of the delegation,
expressed their dissent and seconded the
nomination OF the "often elected and often
defrauded" Thomas Watson of Georgia.
Kentucky yielded to Captain Burnham
of Tennessee, who nominated a. L. Minis
OF Tennessee, one of the grandest men in
the State, profound scholar and states
man whose heart was ever beating for hu-
manity.
Illinois, which by request had been
passed earlier in the evening, through G.
M. Miller seconded the nomination of
Minis of Tennessee, but delegate from
the Sixth Illinois District challenged the
right of Miller to speak for his district.
Louisiana seconded Tom Watson. A.
a. Gunby, who spoke for Louisiana, said
he could not understand the policy which
had put forward a bank president to put
down National banks, a corporationist to
put down corporations and railroad
magnate to put down railroad corporations
and monopoIies. Laughter and cheers.l
During the delivery of the speech,
Bland of Missouri, the defeated aspirant
Tor the Democratic nomination, came to
the platform and was introduced to the
chairman by Senator Stewart, and soon

The Convention Did Right.

At Columbus, yesterday the Republi-
can state convention unanimously
adopted a resolution recommended by
the committee on credentials declaring
it to be unwise for the central or exc
cutiye committee of any county to Sc
lect delegates to state convention,
and making it rule of the party to
hereafter choose these delegates
through regular county conventions or
primaries, as the plan to choose by
committees is not conducive to har-
mony.
This is movement to take the se-
lection of delegates out of the hands of
a few men and refer it to the people.
The disposition the past few years has
been to give the control of politics in
certain sections of the State into the
hands of one man or one set of men.
The pendulum is now swinging the
other way. Toledo starts the ball roll
ing, and the state convention indorsed
the course. The one-man power in
politics is doomed. Toledo Blade.

ton OF the remainder Of the committee,
which decided, as will be seen by the
call in another column, that each
county should determine for itself, the
manner of selecting the delegates.
The committee chose as temporary
presiding officer, Hon. Charles S. Dana,
of Marietta. and temporary secretary,
H. A. Patterson, of Guernsey county
M. M. Rose, of Marietta, was oppos-
ed to taking the convention to that
city. At least he so stated privately
saying that city could not entertain
the convention as he had made an in
yestigation of the matter and found
that the people there were many OF
them sleeping on cots.-[zanesville

RIrcuIE COUNTY FIELD.

Ellenboro, w. Va, March 14.-While
work in all the fields in this section is
progressing steadily, news from the
various wells is megre owing to the
difficulty of getting over the bad roads.
The Singleton farm we'll near He
bron, of Bettman & Watson, has been
cased in the Cow Run sand and tank
erected. 1t is reported to be making
twenty barrels. This is the well in
which the land owner, Mr.. L. c. Shing-
Teton, took thousand dollar interest.
The we'll is about 80 feet deep.
Davis s.. Scott's Highland we'll is
down about 1 400 feet and should be at
top of the sand by Sunday.
Barnsdall & Mallory's WE'LL on the
Hamilton farm. on Whisky Run, is
down 900 feet.
1t is reported that the Henry Oil
Company is preparing to put down a
test we'll near CORVALLIS, and will
drill four others on Bonds Creek,
about three miles south and west, from
this place. This section of country
has always "looked good'' as oil men
would say. About fourteen years ago
j. M. Guffy & Co. leased up an inn
mense block of land west of here, in
cluding this Bonds Creek territory,
but their large holdings in the rich
Washington county, Pennsylvania, field
at that time caused them to deyote all
their energies to that territory and al.
lowed their Richie county holdings,
much of which has since become very
valuable, to default.
The we'll on the Carroll farm, just
west of Cairo, is down 700 feet and
stopped with a bad fishing job, there
being two strings of tools in the hole.
The McCalumet Oil Company's we'll
on the Daniel Eddy farm, is completed
and is dry hole, as is the Macfarlan
well owned by Wheeling parties
T. n. Barnsdall has not commenced
operations on Rock run, but expects to
get string of tools to the location on
the Israel farm within few days.
A certain alleged operator is said to
haye played a sharp trick on number
of farmers in this locality lately, by
agreeing to locate well on the differ
ent farms if the farmer would discount
the rentals due about twenty-five per
cent. 1t is said several land owners
accepted the proposition and are now
dreaming of the ciegeneous wealth
that is so soon to be theirs, so they
think

A Very Remarkable Thing.

There is published in our columns to-
day an advertisement that is worth
looking up and reading 1t is report
favoring the well-known and popular
Royal Baking Powder by the present
or recent State Analysis of Ohio and
every neighboring state. The merits
of an article to receive such an un-
exampled official recognition must in
deed be eminent. The consumers of
baking powder will be glad to be ad-
vised upon matter of such general
importance.

We are informed iby Capt. G. 3.
Smith that their well an the Macks-
burg field, which was drilled in few
days ago and then shot, has been clean
ed out, tubed and. it is now pumping.
The first six hours Yesterday it put 81
barrels in the tank by actual measure
ment which would indicate that 1T is

ed to keep up ut this figure for some
time.-Senti tinel.

THE DISTRICT COMMITTEE MEETING

The Republican congressional COM
mittee met at the Office of Fenton Bag
ley, in this city, this morning.
There were present Capt. John S.
Adair, of Morgan county, chairman;
Frank M. Martin, Noble county, secre-
tary; M. M, Rose, of Washington coun-
ty; David D. Taylor, of Guernsey
county, and Fenton Bagley, of this
county.
1t was decided that the congressional
convention should be held in Zanes-
vile, March 81.
On this point Mr.. Taylor, of -Guern-
sey, urged that the time was too short,
and suggested April IA. In this he was
overruled and the date fixed as above.
There was warm discussion con-
cerning the manner in which delegates
to the convention should be chosen.
Hon. d. d. Taylor, of Guernsey, held
that the committee ought to make a
rule directing that the delegates be
selected at primaries, no township to
be without delegave.
He argued in support of his motion
that there ought to be a uniform rule
and that the above would give each
precinct fair representation. Other
methods would place it in the power OF
a few committeeman to select the dele
gates and practically result in the unit
rule which had been declared SO injur-
ious in former times. He argned
strenuously for this point. but was
oyerruled.
His opinions did not otreceive the sane.
