SANTA ROSA, CAL. Dec. 2. = Two
workmen on the Cotatl ranch, near this
city, engaged in a quarrel yesterday after
noon, resulting in Frederick Donahue re-
ceiving deep knife wound in the left
lung, from which he will probably die.
The wielder of the knife was Frank Wood,
who escaped in the direction of PetaIuma
and has not been captured Donahue
claimed that Wood owed him 81, and
when payday arrived he demanded in
slant payment. Wood refused to settle,
and claimed to owe nothing. This an
gered Donahue to frenzy, and seizing q
club he struck Wood a swinging blow over
the head. Wood partly warded the blow
off with his left arm, and drawing keen
knife drove it through his assailant's left
shoulderblade into the lung. As Wood
acted in self-defense there has been no eff
fort to capture him as yet.

FORMAL MANIFESTO READ BY SENATOR CANNON
Uncertainty Still Prevails Regarding the Vice Presi-
dental Candidate
TRYING TO PREVENT THE BOLT OF THE SILVER MEN

ST LOUIS, Mo, June 1s.-The Conven-
ton Hall promised to be very warm today.
Every arrangement had been made to keep
the building as cool as possible, but with the
boiling sun beating down with intensity
there was every prospect of a sweltering
time. The spectators and delegates pro-
vided themselves with fans, which were
freely used.
The program today was to adopt the plat
form at the morning session, nominate the
candidates for President in the afternoon
and the Vice President in the evening, and
then there will be a final adjournment.
The day broke bright and clear for the
third and probably last day of the conven-
ton
Today there was an unohStructed path
to the vital work of the party chieftains
The report of the committee On resolutions
and the nomination of candidates lay di-
rectly ahead. The Mckinley leaders had
arranged to push things through and
preparations had been made to adopt the
platform and nominate Mckinley before
taking a recess There was much in the
program to appeal to the imaginations of
the advertised bolt of the silver men. and
the multitudes came with buoyant step to
enjoy the proceedings and yell themselves
hoarse when occasion demanded.

Nebraska, and they had the temerity to
attempt campaign song without accompa-
niment Their voices could no more pene-
trate the sullen roar that filled the hall
than II could have carried against tor
rado bowling along at the rate of 100 miles
an hour. The people in the galleries were
absolutely oblivious of the fact that the
stirring words of a campaign song were
moving away in cadenZic sound waves
from the platform. Besides the discordant
clamor of dozen bands playing different
tunes helped to drown what chance the am
bilious quartet had of making itself heard.
Just before the convention was called to
order a photographer reared his cameras
en- the edge of the platform, and during the
prayer which followed, while the galleries
and delegates were comparatively quiet, he
managed to secure a photograph.
Called to Order.
The third and probably the last day Of
the convention began at 1890 O'clock
when, in response to the gayers rap, the
delegates arose for prayer. The officiating
minister WAS DIR. John r. Scott Of Jack

FLORIDA'S DELEGATES.
What the Defeat of Senator's Call and
PnHcO MnX EOrenhadOW.

The election of three silver men and five
gold standard men by the Florida state
convention yesterday, as delegates to Chi
cago will occasion no surprise in either
faction of the party. Florida had prac-
tically been given over to the gold men by
their opponents up to the time of the Ken
lucky convention, as was stated in inter-
views in The Star. After that convention
the silver men won OUT in number Of
counties, with the result that the conven-
ton yesterday was close between the
factions Congressman Sparkman is one
OF the delegates-at-large. He Is for a gold
standard, but wants to peace in the
Democratic ranks. He has all along urged
conservative action in his state, just such
as characterized the convention, which
seems to have been dominated by him and
his friends.
The defeat of Senators Call and Pasco
for delegates-at -at-large is thought here to
foreshadow the possible defeat of Senator
Call for reelection. If he could not control
the state convention, with the full power of
the silver movement behind him, doubts
are expressed whether he can secure re-
election without that full power behind
him. There are a number of persons who
want to get the Senator's place. Represen-
tatives Sparkman and Cooper are among
the number, and Governor Mitchell is an
other aspirant.

GOING TO CHICAGO.
The Headquarters of the Democrat
Silver Committee to Be Removed.

The Headquarters of the Democratic
Silver Committee to Be Removed.
The removal of the headquarters Of the
democratic silver committee from here to
Chicago has been contemplated for some
time, and the fact has been mentioned
in The Star. The rooms of the commit
tee in this city, at the home Of Senator
Harris, No. 13 LIST street northeast, will
be closed the last Of this week. and quar-
ters will then be opened in the Sherman
House at Chicago. After the national
convention the committee will no longer
exist, but the work will be taken up by
the national democratic committee, Of
which Senator Jones of Arkansas will
probably be chairman.
Number 13 seems to have lost its ILL
omened propensities in the matter of
politics. When the democratic silver
committee was selected last year and quar-
ters taken at Senator Harris home there
was a good deal of sport in the newspapers
over the mo. 49," The object Of the
Committee was to win in the national DEM
ocratic convention, and it appears to have
had considerable success in bringing about
the condition of affairs existing in the
party.
Evening star., 1896-06-18

Before the hour for calling the convention
to order arrived the wilderness of seats in
the galleries was black with the same dense
crowd of people, and the vast hall roared
with the dull, indescribable murmur of
thousands of human voices
St. Louis, which has, until last night,
given the visitors magnificent convention
weather, had her stokers hard at work this
morning, and the heat in the Convention
Hall even before 10 o'clock became almost
unbearable, and the hall promised, as the
day advanced, to become like the torrid
room of a Turkish bath. The humidity in
the atmosphere made the sweltering heat
even more intolerable.
The delegates took their places this morn
ing without ostentation.
Comforting With Teller,
Senator Teller and his associates formed
an interesting group they stood confer
ring with set faces. Governor Foraker,
chairman of the committee on resolutions
consulted with Senator Lodge. Governor
Alger, Ex-Governor Merriam and others
about the program at the head of the main
aisle Immediately in front of the speakers $

Evans, the vice presidential candidates,

Their astute and active allies in the New
York delegation aided them materially
Warner Miller openly informed the dele
gates that if Morton's name was presented
for Vice President he should take the plat
form and speak against it.
The utmost bitterness existed among the
friends and foes of the New York governor,
and a battle royal was promised over the
nomination. Platt, Lodge, Quay and the
anti-McKinley generals are at the head of
the Morton movement, and about the result
clung the only remaining uncertainty Of the
convention.
