Would Like whitney TO Go.

ALBANY. n. Y. June 22.-Chairman
Hinckley, of the state Democratic COM
mittee, and William C. Whitney were
guests of Senator Hill at dinner tonight.
Senator Hill said he had nothing to give
out for publication and added:
We have had a little informal talk
but have decided upon nothing. We would
like Mr.. Whitney TO go as a delegate at
large TO the Chicago convention, but the
vacancy for which we would name him
still exists"
Mr.. Whitney said:
Il shall go to Chicago and expect to be
at the Auditorium shortly after July l.
l repeat, however, that 1 will go neither
as a delegate at large nor as a district
delegate, but simply as plain citizen.
Yes, we have talked over the financial
plank but we have not yet prepared a
draft of it. l do not anticipate any very
great opposition from silver people in the
state convention"
There will be another conference al
Senator Hills house tomorrow The
names of William R. Grace and Francis
Scott are mentioned tonight for the fourth
delegate at large. w. S. Bissell, of Buff
falo. is also mentioned but is not believed
to have very extensive backing.
The other delegates at large will be
Senators Hill and Murphy and ex-Gov-
crnor Flower.

CANADIAN ELECTIONS.

TORONTO. Ont, June ga pecul-
lar feature of the elections, which will
be decided tomorrow night, is the feel
ing of confidence with which each par
" looks forward to the result The
government feels sure the country
will sustain them, while the opposition
are equally in earnest in their belief
that their time has come, and that in a
short time they will taste the sweets
of Office.
Taking the sober calculation of the
leading men on each side, the situa-
ton may be briefly summed up:
Ontario, which, last election, gave a
majority of four for the government,
is expected to return an excess of
about ten Liberals, including in them
the McCarthyites and patrons who are
allied with them.
In Quebec, the government. which,
last election, was in minority of five,
will likely have a majority of about
fifteen votes The maritime province
will be nearly equally divided with a.
slight preponderance in favor of the
powers that be. while Manitoba and
British Columbia will go Liberal. SO
the chances are that the government
will be sustained by a majority rang
ing from fifteen to twenty votes,
enough to secure them in office, but
not enough with which to face the
house, so the real fight will take place
after July 16, when parliament will

TWITCHELL A CRANK.
j He Produces q Sensation on the
Yale Campus.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, June o.
There was a tremendous sensation on
the Yale campus this afternoon, caus-
ed by an unexpected remark of Rev
DR.. Joseph Twitchell of Hartford dur
ing his grafton at the dedication of
the Wolsley memorial statue.
1t arose from the fact that the ivy
planted this afternoon was from the
grave Of General Robert E. Lee. Mr.
Twitchell holds a position among the
Yale alumni second only to that
of Chauncey M. Depew, and his words
are always given great weight.
In the course of his address, referr-
ing to Dr. Wolsley, DR.. Twitchell said ::
He was a Union man, heart and
soul, and it would make his bronze
statue avert its head were he to know
the graduating class Of Yale were to
the campus an ivy from the grave of
was a good man, but he was loyal to
an Infamous cause
This utterance came like a thunder
clap, but there was no demonstration
until he had finished, and then the
condemnatory words were freely crit
icised. The concensus of opinion
among the professors and seniors was
that the remarks were at least i'll ad-
vised.
Immediately after the dedicatorN ex-
ercises the ivy committee met and the
proposition was made to change the
ivy. but was. voted down, and it was
planted with the usual ceremonies.

Shadow" Maber Lasts Eight Rounds
Before Tommy Ryan.
BUFFALO, N. Y, June 22-"Sha-
dow Maber disappointed many people
who expected TO see him a mark for
Tommy Ryan at the meeting of the
welterweights for a twenty-round bout
before the Buffalo Empire Athletic
club tonight. Maber made an excellent
showing, and for eight rounds the 1000
spectators were treated to as pretty
an exhibition Of boxing as could be
asked for.
Both Ryan and Mabar could have
been better trained. Ryan weighed AS
pounds and Maber six pounds more,
but when they faced each other in the
ring the difference in weight made
them look lightweight against mid
dleweight.
The first two rounds were of the
dancing order, neither man landing In
the third, Maber rushed and tried three
frantic lunges, any one of which would
have settled the battle had it landed.
Ryan led and fell short twice but each
time ran in so close that Maber could
not hit him. Maber tried a quick swing,
and Ryan's duck was loudly applaud
ed. Ryan became careless and Mabar
landed on the body and head, getting
a hard left on the head in return.
In the fourth Ryan landed on the
neck, following with another of the
same kind before Maber recovered
Ryan landed on head. A hard ex-
change followed with two rattlers on
Maber's jaw
In the fifth Maber rushed his man.
Ryan broke ground and swung on the
face and body. Ryan got Maber in the
corner and landed left on the face
Maber upper-cut Ryan and a good ex-
change followed, Ryan having the best
of it. Maber slipped and fell as the
bell rang.
In the sixth round Mabe1- rushed and
in the slinch slugged Ryan. The re-
left on the wind and body in one-two
style. Maber's guard was too low and
he was jabbed by Ryan.
Seventh Round-Maber landed two
lefts on the shoulder. Ryan led and
fell short meeting a right swing full
in the face. 1t was the worst blow he
got in the battle. Maber rushed and
landed on the body and on the face. AS
the bell rang, Ryan landed on the chest
and staggered Maber.
Eighth Round-Ryan planted his left
on the body and both missed savage
swings. Maber landed left on the face
| Ryan jabbed in face and placed left
on the body
Ninth Round-There was a pretty
counter. Ryan rushed and landed left
on face. Ryan missed his man and
was hit on the ear. Ryan planted his
right on the stomach. The blow doub-
led Maber up. Ryan forced Maber to
! the corner and landed repeatedly be-
fore he escaped. Ryan landed left
swing twice on the body Maber raised
his guard for a rush and Ryan quickly
planted a crusher on the stomach. The
blow dropped Ma:ber just as the gong
sounded. Maber's seconds threw up
the sponge. and Ryan was given the

COLUMBUS, o., June 22.-Delegates
to the Democratic state convention
are coming in slowly.
The convention does not meet until
Wednesday, all the preliminary work
being done by the district delegates,
and at committee meetings tomorrow
evening.
Hon. John McMann, of Dayton, hav-
ing declined TO act as temporary chair
man on the ground that he has been
too frequently turned down by the
party the question of who will pre-
side is being discussed, but the tempo
rary chairman will not be named I'M
til the state central committee meets
tomorrow
Dan McConnville formerly sixth
auditor of the treasury. and Allen W.
| Thurman are the leaders of
THE FREE SILvERITEs,
who will have a, big majority in the
convention.
McConnville claims there are 526
delegates pledged to vote for a. free
silver plank in the platform and 50
Pledged to the gold standard, while IS
are doubtful. The gold standard men
only claim 100 to 125 delegates. The
majority of the silver men is SO great
that the convention Will probably adopt
the unit rule.
The delegates at large to the national
convention at Chicago will all be pro-
| nounced free silver men of national
repute. It is conceded that j. r. Nc
Lean, of Cincinnati; Allan W. Thur
man, of Columbus, and J. w Book
walter, of Springfield. will be three OF
the delegates at large. The contest
for fourth place is said to lay between
L. E. Holden, of Cleveland, E. B. Fin
ley, of Bucyrus, and j. Blandin, of
Cleveland. There is a scarcity of can
didates for places on the state ticket,
and it is probable there will be some
new names on it.
| Ex-Governor Campbell arrived to-
night, contrary to expectation, and
/ announced that his name would be
presented to the convention as dele
! gate ct large. I his rather complicat-
ed the situation, as the free silver men
/ are none too kindly disposed toward
the ex-governor who ran on a gold
/ platform last year. Charles P Alien
of Cleveland is also an aspirant for
the honor of delegate at large with
| chances very much in his favor He
| is thought to be the most probable
man for the fourth place. 1t is practi-
cally settled tonight that Colonel w
/ A. Taylor will be temporary chairman
! of the convention.

HE WAS CLEVER.
CARRIED ON A DESPERATE PLAY
FOR YEARS.
Finally, However, He Falls Into the
Clutches of the MiniOns of the
Law-His Name is Bell or
Schwartz.

KANSAS CITY, June 22.-The Journal
tomorrow will announce the arrest at
Neosho, Mo-, by Deputy United States
/ Marshal Pearman, OF swindler who has
eiuded the agents of the treasury de-
partment for nearly three years. The
swindle exposed by the arrest was oper-
ated on lines wholly new. The chief op5r-
ator, who is known as j. r. Bell, ahas
James +. Swartz, is in jail at Springfield.
Along with him are NJ. a. Maglnnis and
Thomas Robbins, heretofore respected cit
liens of Neosho, who are said TO have
become parties to the fraud.
Bel claimed to be a secret agent of
President Cleveland's administration, and
carried an alleged commission bearing the
signature of W. O. Gresham, secretary OF
state, and dated August Is, 1894.
! The pretended mission of the swindler
was to distribute campaign funds for the
national administration, and he claimed
to be able to give out to favored ones
the government for redemption and can
ceiied He claimed that instead of de-
stroying these bills, the administration
stored them in the treasury vaults TO be
distributed by him for campaign purposes.
From each of his dupes the swindler ex-
acted an initiation fee of $3.50, and he rep
resented to them that the number of .citi-
Zens admitted to the brotherhood was SC
regulated that each member would be
given $1,000 annually to distribute.
Notwithstanding that the scheme was
clearly fraudulent, the authorities have
evidence that the swindle has been ex-
tensivey worked in Texas, Kansas, GEN.
trail Missouri and Tennessee. In Bell s
possession was also found large number
OF forged mortgages and deeds and cor
respondence which shows that he has
been making negotiations with several
eastern trust companies for their dis
posal.
The swindler was greatly assisted in
convincing his dupes- by some acomplice
daily mail, including treasury reports and
other statements that were apparently
sent to him in franked envelopes. These
were exhibited as an evidence of his au.
thority.
Bell, or Schwartz, claims to be Cali
fornian.

WASHINGTON, June 22-The con-

May Go to Gold.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, June 22.-The
chances are tonight that the Demo-
cratic state convention tomorrow will
adopt gold platform by ma jority
of two to one, although there are
many delegates who favor silence on
the subject and still more who want a.
silver plank. A few of the delegates
are hare General Edward Bragg and
General Silas will be delegates at large.
Some of the delegates viii be for Sill
yer, but under the unit rule they will
probably be smothered. r. F. Frawley,
Of Eau Claire, selected for chairman,
will make a strong administration and

MUST RELEASE HIM.

LONDON, June 2S.-Tne Chronicle
says of the news from Guiana.
1T is intolerable that while the Uni
ted States and Great Britain are nego-
tia1ing the Venezuelansa should take
such action. We must tell the gov
eminent at Caracas that they will have
to release Harrison, apologize for his
arrest and make amends.
venezuela could not have adopted
a more unfortunate action in her own
interest. 1t is easy to see that an at
tempt will be at once made here to re-
move the frontier question from the
region of argument and Cancellation to
the atmosphere of passion and preju-
dice.
But the two questions must be kept
apart. The boundary must be settled
calmly, while the violence done to Har-
rison must be promptly undone"

be called to order at noon on Wednesday
by Chairman Hinckiey, of the state CEN
tral committee In the afternoon or even

The feature of the convention promises
to be the general harmony that will pre-
vail between the Tammany men and the
state Democracy. One year ago at SYRIA
cuse the representatives of the state
Democracy were refused seats in the con-
vention as delegates. This year. however,
they have fifteen regularly elected dele
gates and their seats are not contested
The only contests noted are those of the

said they will not be seated.
