WILL NOT BOLT
Gold Men VIII Support the Ticket Nomi-
mated, if

mated, if -
| CHICAGO, July 6.-The situation in
the eastern gold standard camp has
crystallized far enough to enable one to
get more settled idea of plan than
has hitherto prevailed. The gold men
will not, as a body, leave the convention,
and it is doubtful if any individual mem
| bers will take that course. The leaders
are all against it, although it is be-
| lieved that Mr.. William c. Whitney
would be pleased to see another conven-
tion with a gold standard platform.
The most radical action that the gold
| standard men will take has practically
been settled. and that is to follow the
plan adopted by the Montana delegation
| in the national Republican convention
| in st. Louis-to remain in the convention
with the notification that they will act
in their individual states as to the sup
port of the platform and national ticket
as the Democrats of their states desire.
But even this latter proposition is tenn
pered, and the action may not take place
if the silver majority does not inordin-
ately trample upon the rights and privi-
leges of the gold minority.
In these resolves the gold men say
they are backed by the unbroken Demo-
cratic principle of majority rule. There
are considerable number of gold Dem
ocrats here from the middle, western and
southern states, which sent solid dele
cations, with view of cooperating with
the gold delegates from the east.
Representatives of the administration
are here from all quarters of the coun-
try. They see little, however to encour-
age them in the situation The federal
officers are incensed at the seemingly
deliberate purpose of the convention to
ignore Mr. Cleveland. Not single pic
ture of the president is to be found in
the hotels.
The gold men We're jubiant tonight
| over the fact that they had defeated the
silver mems plans for caucus to settle
| platform, candidates and the length OF
the convention.
Mr.. Whitney was told by the Associat-
ed Press representative that he was cred
tied with not being averse to bolt. He
said: You may deny that emphatically
l am not in favoD of bolt. do not wan
a bolt, and l shall urge that no such ac
tion be taken. We are Democrats. hav,
not heard of the alleged overtures of th'
Boies people to the gold men, but it is no
impossible, and there may be such break
when the silver men find the arbitrar,
way in which the leaders will try to dis
pose of their booms.''

KANSAS IS SOLID.
The meeting of the Kansas delegation
was long and strong. All of the dele
gates, it was developed, were person.
ally in favor of Bland, but a faction
made a vigorous protest against the
methods by which the attempt to secure
instructions for him were carried on.
Senator John Martin, the chairman of
the delegation, and David Overmeyer.
were managing the Bland interests, and
offered a resolution that the delega-
tion poll its vote for Bland. National
Committeeman j. T. Johnson led the OPP
position. He protested that Martin and
Overmeyer had arranged with the Bland
managers to carry the delegation for the
Missouri man, and expected to reap all
the political benefits accruing from
the transaction. AS a parliamentary
move. Mr.. Overmeyer offered a suhsti-
tute that the delegation vote for Bryan.
Afterward this resolution was with
drawn. When the Bland resolution was
brought to vote it was voted for by all
the twenty delegates.

THE MARKET IS ALL READY
But Growers Are Unfamiliar With Bmsi-
ness Methods
Pears Promise Best But Dried Apricots Can
Be Handled With Proflt'If Of
Good Quality

LONDON. July 6.-H. NJ Isaacs, Of
Messrs. H. Isaacs & Sons, London, whose
firm so successfully handled a portion
of the California fruit shipped to London
last year. has just returned from an ex-
tensive trip to California. To repre-
sentative of the Associated Press, he
said:
my mission to California was simply
in the interests of the fruit business.
made an extended tour of the country.
and I must say that my impression is
that it is still rather young as regards
export business. BY this I mean that
fruit-growers generally do not seem to
consider the desirability of combining
for the purpose of finding fresh outlets
for their continually increasing product.
The amount of fruit grown in California
of course is enormous, but some of the
earlier results of shipments to London
seemed somewhat to dishearten ship
pers. The causes that led to these early
unsatisfactory results were the causes
eusual to the introduction of new busi-
ness. Experience and organization have
already removed many of them. l think
it was a great mistake for the California
fruit to be consigned for sale to Coven
Garden, as this market depends almost
entirely for it's support upon supplies of
similar fruit from England and France
and / think this interfered considerably
with California having a fair field.
AS a proof of this may mention that
Calfirnia people who were over here
last season became convinced of this
themselves and placed their later con-
signments in our hands and at once eX-
pressed their satisfaction with the bet
ter results obtained in our sales. Their
fruits will, l think, find the largest and
safest outlets with us. Their pears are
well liked with us and are now we'll
introduced and I am sure will always
find god sale on this side. l think the
fine Califirnia plums will also give salts
faction to shippers. Apricots, on the
other hand, are not an article in much
favor with us, and 1 do not think there
is much prospect in shipping this article
in the gree nstate. With regard to
peaches, the condition in which this
article arrives seems attended with more
risk than pears and plums. AS regards
quantities. l think it will be some time
before we can give satisfactory results
| for any large shipments.
| "For all articles our London market Is
variable as all other fruit markets, but
we are quite convinced that the average
results to California shippers would be
satisfactory, besides further helping tc
relieve the glut in their own markets.
Continuing, Mr.. Isaacs says:
| 81 think the dried fruit industry ir
| California will also find larger outle
here, but only the best fruit and pack.
Ing should be shipped. The only ex.
ception as regards dried fruit is raisins
This article l consider has no chance ir

ALL SPLIT UP
California Delegates Decline to Follow Alt

CHICAGO, July 6.-Delegate Harry e
Wise is authority for the statement that
the California delegation is about equally
divided between gold and silver, although
the delegates were instructed for sill
yer, and are subject to the unit rule.
Mr.. Wise said today
THE gold men will not submit to the
dictation of Altgeld and his followers
and will disregard the unit rule and vote
as they please, if they find it necessary. -
The delegation is very much split UP
as regards the presidential preference
but will support Senator White if he
will allow the use of his name. Califor-
MIA is hopeful that Senator White, who
will represent the state on the resolu-
tions committee, will be selected for
chairman of that committee, and the
delegates are doing much missionary
work with that end in view.
At the caucus this afternoon, w. w
Foote was chosen chairman of the dele
CATION and J. J. Dwyer member of the
national committee, the latter succeed
ing NJ. F. Tarpey, who failed in his effort
to secure reelection. Others elected
were as follows:

Fears
CHICAGO, July 6-The gold men say
that it win be prolonged convention.
The labor organizations had repre-
sentatives in the city who are working
with members of the resolutions COM
mittee toward the adoption of plank
for the restriction of immigration. The
declaration which they are urging is
practically identical with the immigra-
ton plank of the Republican platform,
demanding the exclusion of all aliens
who cannot read or write.
AS the train was about leaving Indian
apolis carrying the Matthews club to the
convention, Gov. Matthews in taking
leave of them in the depot said:
Boys, make 16 to your first consid-
Grafton and let my candidacy be secon-
Diary matter with you.
The Massachusetts delegation organ
lied tonight. John w. Corcoran was
chosen member of the national commit
tee and John f. Russell member of the
committee on resolutions.
The West Virginia delegation today
decided to bring the name of Judge
James jackson of Parkersburg before
the convention for second place on the
ticket. He is the oldest United States
Judge on the bench. having been APP
pointed by President Lincoln in 1862, and
is now 70 years of age.
Judge C. C. Bland. brother of the can
didate. and Miss Bland, his daughter
arrived at the Bland headquarters to-
day. They said they were here only TO
observe and not to take any active part
in the Missourians candidacy.
No Mclean badges have yet appeared
among the delegates. but the boom of
the Ohio journalist is met with every
where 1t is all underneath the surface
so far, but the friends of Mr.. Mclean
are prepared to bring it to the front at
the first opportunity. They expect 10
see the two leading candidates, Bland
and Boies, pull each other down and open
the door for dark horse. The sugges-
ton of McLeans candidacy has met
with strong favor among many of the
delegates, but the drift of sentiment
sans to be that he cannot possibly
reach the first place and must content
himself with the tail end of the ticket.
A movement has been organized in
the interest of Hon. Arthur Sewell Of
Maine for the vice presidential nomina-
ton. The suggestion is said to have
been favorably received by several silver
men.
1t has been rumored that Boies has
been dickering for the eastern vote and
that few silver states that have had
Vice President Stevenson in mind are
looking to New York and other gold
states for votes. Pennsylvania is not in
this alleged dicker, remaining faithful to
Pattison.
The National Bimetallic union. of
which A. j. Warner of Ohio is president,
met here today and will continue in
session until the close of the convention.
The members favor Teller but declared
it to be the sense of the union, that it
should support the nominee of the con-
vention, provided he was a silver man,
nominated on silver platform. Gen.
Warner has prepared and will submit
a financial plank to the committee on
| resolutions.
