None Could Stay the Will of
the Masses Who Demand
Protection.
CERTAIN OF A TRIUMPH IN
NOVEMBER.
The Republican Nominee Will Win
Because of the Policy He
Advocates.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, June 21.-Hon. w.
w. Bowers, member OF Congress from the
Seventh District, is at his home here. He
was interviewed for THE CALL regarding
the work of the st. Louis convention, and
as he is and has been free-colnage man,
his views are interesting. He said:
Il indorse everything they did at st.
Louis, with the exception of the gold
plank in the platform. Now, before l give
you my position on that let me say that
the st. Louis convention could no more
keep from nominating Mckinley than the
country can from electing him. l tell you
the people are mighty slow, but when
they get started everything has to give
way. All the politicians were against Nc
Kinley, but he went in. no power on
earth will prevent that man from being
President of the United States. The SIM
pie fact is that the people are bound to
have him and that settles it.
"As to the financial plank: am a free
coinage mana silver man out and out
because l know the conspiracy that robbed
the people; [ know the scoundrelism and
thievery of the syndieates that throw this
country into debt and rob the people
through the power of gold. Therefore the
gold plank in the platform is not accord
ing to my wish but the great majority of
my party has decided that 1t wants gold.
knew it did, and SO did every man who
kept in touch with the sentiment. l will
not bolt my party because the plank is not
to my liking. The boilers drop out of
sight, while the party sails grandly on.
l will stick to silver and work for it, but
strictly within the lines of my party.
There is no good that can come from bolt
ing the Republican ticket. The way to
accom- plish the hopes of free-coinage ad-
herents is to work in the party until
majority may be won, es the gold adher-
ents have won this time.
But there is no use talking about silver
when a greater issue is before the people.
The one great issue is the American policy
of protection. Mckinley, by good fortune,
is connected with the protective policy
more closely than any man. The Ameri-
can people never had good chance to test
the difference between protection and
something else until the Wilson bill went
into effect. The change has been so ap-
palling in all kinds of business that Demo-
Gratis, as well as Repu blicans are going to
have protection. There is no use talking,
the people are going to get back into the
middle of the road, and you can split on
financial policies and everything else, but
Mckinley is going in because he repre-
sents what the people want-protection
to American labor and American manu-
factures.
Look at the situation: the House of
Representatives Republican, the Senate
controlled by Populists, the President a
Democrat. What was the result? Nothing.
Each can blame the other, and there you
are. Now, there will be change and
don't you forget it. The whole thing will
be Republican, root and branch, and pro-
lection will be the thing that does it."

WAS A BOGUS DLAN Their,
Discovery Made by the Vienna
Police in Comparing
Photographs.
Mrs. Langfeldt's Murderer Must Have
Stolen the Decorations He Left
in This City.

VIENNA, AUSTRIA, June 21.-The publi-
cation here OF a warrant issued in San Fran
cisco for the arrest of Joseph Won Blanther,
an ex-officer of the Austrian army, who is
supposed to have murdered a woman
named Mrs. Langfeldt has led to the dis
covery of two photographs of Won BIan-
ther. These photographs, when compared
received here, show that they are not pic
lures of the same man. The police here
believe that the murderer prior to kill
ing Mrs. Langfeldt, had stolen the papers
from the real Won Blanther, which, being
found by the San Francisco police, led
them to believe that the murderer's true
name was Won Blanther.
Herr Josef Won Blenther is yet remem-
bered in Austrian military circles as Lieu
tenant Josef Ritter Won Blanther, knight
of the Order of the Austrian Crown and
of the Italian Crown. The police of San
Francisco believe that after having COM
mitted the crime he left America and re-
turned to Austria, and the police OF
Vienna are now trying to find him. As a
young officer, at the age of 49, Blanther
served during the occupation of Bosnia
and Herzegovina by the Austro- Hun
garian army in 1873. He had to
defend with his company the position
of battery against the attack of the Bos-
nian insurgents, VINO We're in superior
force. Almost all the men of his company

SILVER MEN CONTROL.
Ohio's Democratic Convention
VIII Declare for a Double
Standard

COLUMBUS, ONO, June 21.-The free
silver Democrats are so confident of con-
trolling the State convention here this
week that they are now disputing over the
honors. There are seven candidates for
delegates at large-John Mclean, John
w. Bookwalter, Allen w. Thurman, GEN
eral E. B. Finley, E. ]. Blondin, L. E.
Wolden and A. J. Warner. Mclean and
Bookwalter are practically agreed upon.
The other five will contest for the two re-
naming places. Allen w. Thurman will
probably be made chairman of the con-
vention, to take the place declined by
John A. Mcmahon. No candidates are
yet announced for the State offices to be
filled this year.
All interest centers in the action of the
convention on the financial question. The
gold-standard Democrats concede that a
large majority OF the delegates to the
State convention are in favor of free silver.
The minority will contain some strong
men, however, among them ex-Congress-
man Tom L. Johnson, Frank Hurd and
John A. Mcmahon, and they will at least
enter a protest against free silver, and it
may be very vigorous one.

DEPENDS UPON NEW YORK
Commissioner Lamoreux on the
Prospects for Gold Bolt
at CHICAGO.

prospects for COLD Bolt
at Chicago.
SEATTLE, WASH, June Hon. s. w.
Lamoreux, Commissioner of the General
Land Office, who is making tour of the
West, passed Sunday in Seattle, leaving
tonight for Portland and thence for San
Francisco. He is accompanied by Mrs
Lamoreux and party Of friends. The
Commissioner is looking up Land Office
matters, especially affairs relating to the
Surveyor-General. Congr essional appro-
priations for his department this year
amount to about $3.50, 600, more than $780,
600 in excess of last years allotment, and
the Commissioner is endeavoring to see
that an equitable distribution of funds to
various States for survey and other pur-
poses is made.
On matters relating to politics Commits
sioner Lamoreaux was more or less reti-
cent. He is for sound money, bnt fears
the result of the Chicago convention. The
free silver men, he believes, will be in the
majority. In response to query as to
whether the single gold standard men
would walk out of the convention III the
event of the nomination of a free silver
candidate Commissioner Lamoreux re-
piled:
That would depend much upon the
action Of New York and Pennsylvania,
especially the Empire State delegation and
Hill. Should New York stay In the con-
vention there would be no bolt"

THE SITUATION IN CRETE.
Steamers Sent to the Island for the Par-
pose of Removing Christian Women
and Children

ATHENS, GREECE, June 21.-Two steam
ers have gone from the Piraus for the pur-
pose of removing from Crete the Christian
women and children who are desirous of
leaving the island because of the insurrec-
ton there against Turkish rule.
The insurgents have refused to accept
the terms of the Porte, which, in effect,
are that they lay down their arms before
the matter of reforms is considered. The
situation is deplorabIe. Christian villages
have been seized by the Turkish troops
and hundreds of families are wandering
about in the hills in an absolutely desti-
tute condition. The turkish troops have
retired to Bukolis and the Christians have
advanced to Aliklanou.

KILLED BY SAFE-R0RBERS.
An Officer and His Dog Lose Their Lives
in Attempting to Capture Two
BUroInrs

NORTH BALTIMORE, ONO, June 21.-
Shortly after midnight last night Deputy
Marshal Jesse Baker of this place sur
prised two burglars at work on the safe in
the postotfice. He entered the Office, ac-
companied by his bulldog, whereupon the
men rushed out of a rear door, with the
officer and dog in close pursuit. The dog
attacked one of the men, who turned and
shot the animal twice and then leveled his
revolver and fired at. Baker, who had also
shot couple of times, the bullet entering
the officers left eye.
About twenty-five persons were in front
and near the postoffice when the shooting
occurred. They ran to the alley, where
they found the dog dead and Baker ap-
parently so. The burglars had, however.
completely disappeared.
The wounded man was taken to his
home, where he died few hours later
without regaining consciousness. A hat
dropped by the murderers is the only clew
left behind

MCKINLEY AT WORSHIP.
His Pastor Draws a Moral From the
Action Taken at ST.
Louis,


CANTON, OHIO, June 21.-Major Nc
Kinley passed his first Sunday as the Re-
publican Presidential candidate in much
the same manner as previous Sundays had
been spent by him. The principal change
was in his surroundings and not in his ac-
tions. His hospitable home sheltered be-
meath its roof an unusual number of occu-
pants There were Mr. and Mrs. Abner
Mckinley OF New York and General Rus
sell H. Hastings, wife and son of
the Bermudas. Then there were
several members of the family who
came in to spend the day. The people
respected the sanctity of the day and the
quiet of the family, and aside from DIR.
Phillips, the family physician, who merely
dropped in to make sure that all was well,
there were no callers save the visiting
newspaper correspondents.
In the morning Major Mckinley at
tended divine worship, as his custom was,
in the First Methodist Church. He was
accompanied by Mrs. Hastings and Cap
tain aiestaLd, U. S. A. who for several
years acted as inspector-general of the
Ohio militia on the Governors staff. The
audience-room was not crowded but well
Mckinley at church was so much the ac-
customed thing that not even as a Presi-
Dental candidate did he attract beyond,
probably, a score of strangers and most
of these were visiting newspaper men.
DR.. Edmunds, the pastor, advertised his
topic as Success and Its Attainment"
and so pertinent was it to the situation
that nearly every one expected him to
speak largely upon the event of the week.
But he used it only as contrast, the con-
nection between it and his theme being
wholly inferential. In describing the
conditions and requirements of success
full can ndidate foI the prize of immortal
life, the preacher showed a knowledge of
practical political methods that could
have been the result only OF close obser-
walton. In the opening prayer the pastor
referred in these words to his distinguished
| auditor:
"And now, o Lord, for moment hear

Blanther and a sergeant remained un-
touched. He commanded and loaded a nd
fired gun with his own hands and forced
the insurgents to retire. He received the
Order of the Iron Crown. it being the first
case of 80 young an officer being decorated
With this high order. At review of the
Vienna garrison Lieutenant Won Blanther
was presented to King Hum bert, who
granted him the Order of the Italian
Crown. Afterwards Blanther ran heavily
into debt and was compelled to leave the
country.

Rage of the Dons Increased by the

MADRID, SPAIN, June 1.-The Liber-
ais have introduced in the Senate mo-
ton censuring the United States for their
attitude regarding Cuba.
LONDON, Eng, June 21.-A dispatch to
the Daily Mail from Madrid says the plat
form adopted by the st. Louis Convention
has caused much anger in Spain, and that
a conflict with the United States is almost
certain.
The Rothschilds have loaned the Gov
ernment 100, 900, 900 pesetas, and the money
will be mostly applied to the purchase OF
warships. The Government is responding
to an undoubted national sentiment, trust
ing, probably, to receiving help from other
powers.
