GOLD PLANK IS QUITE SAFE
Nebraska Representative on the Committee
Will Vote His Convictions.
PLATT COUNTS On A GOOD MAJORITY
No Cownrd1y Evasion of the Vita
Issue u Possible - Convention
Hail Not FILLED aud Acoustics
Are nnd.

ST. LOUIS, June t6.-,Special Telegram -
It is now absolutely certain that the vote
OF Nebraska in the committee on resolutions
viii be cast for sound money with gold as the
standard. Nebraska's representative on the
platform committee has prepared a terse
statement Of his position. in which he de-
clares it to be his conviction that an evasion
Of the issue by leaving the word gold out
Of the currency plank would be cowardly
and misleading.
A great deal OF pressure has been brought
to bear on Peter Jansen. especially by repub-
lcans from western and southwestern Ne
braska and also by members of the delegation
who desired to evade the gold issue, but
Jansen remains firm and determined to vote
his honest convictions.
In conversation with Senator Lodge this
morning I am informed that he counts on a
good majority for the gold standard in the
committee.
The convention hall is scarcely two-thirds
full and the acoustics are very poor The
voice of Chairman Carter was not audible
in the greater portion Of the press stand.

Mckinley Men Control the Commit

ST LOUIS, June l6.-The committee on
credentials organized, and by its decision to
ratify the judgments OF the national COM
mittee ON contested seats, probably mate
rally shortened the duration OF the con-
vention. The contests from the states of
Delaware and Texas had been referred to the
credentials committee by the national com
mittee and these We're taken up at once
The factional contest between the Higgins
and Addicks forces which has stirred the
little state Of Delaware for severa! years
was decided in favor of the former. 4 res
olution 70 seat J. Edward Addicks and his
five colleagues was defeated by vote Of %
10 20, and one 20 seat the delegation headed
by ex-senator Anthony Higgins was then
carried by 81 TO II. Mr. Hepburn Of Iowa
gave notice be would make a minority report
20 the convention, recommending the seat
ing OF the Addicks men. Personalities We're
freely used and feeling ran high all through
the night session, which was devoted 10 the
Delaware conflict and the Texas black and
tan and "lilywhite' imbrOglio, which was
still on the boards until late hour.
The decision TO ratlfy the national com
mittees action upon contests in making
up the temporary roll was regarded as a
victory for the Mckinley forces. The Me-
kinley men organized the committee by
electing j. Franklin Fort of New Jersey 10

vote OF % 10 IT, a resolution 20 call for

Thompson OF Ohio, Gown OF Nebraska and
Fort Of New Jersey advocated following

This power of adaptation therefore
makes wages reasonably stable. How
do they compare with gold? Since 1873
they have very sensibly Increased. In
1891 the common laborer could demand

in 1873. For skilled labor the difference
is even greater. which shows that gold

increased. But, my friends, | venture

plans of their leaders. He merely sup
pressed Il riotous outbreak and restored
order. One would suppose that the lead
ers of the strike would be grateful to
President Cleveland, who relieved them
of the unwelcome and damaging coop
Grafton of rioters. and left them free to
work toward their goal by their own
peaceful and law-abiding methods.
There are several ways of regarding
President Cleyelands action. If we re-
gard it as an act of good in itself, but
one which the President was not compe-
tent to perform, then we are extreme
states rights men, who can find in the
constitution 10 warrant for our views.
If we regard it as an act bad in itself,
then we must believe that the best way
to treat riot is to let it alone. If we
are indignant at the suppression of riot,
then we must be friends of riot. If we
ask organized labor to be indignant. then
we must hold organized labor responsible
for these riotous acts which the Presl-
dent put an end to. and the responsibility
for which was disavowed, i'll the name
of organized labor, by the leaders OF the
strike.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

4 SPANISH VICTORY.
Decisive Engagement Said to Have
Taken Place at San
Diego. Cuba.

Havana, Oct. 12.-Dispatches received
here today from official sources in the
province Of Pinar del Rio say that an
other battle has been fought between
the Spaniards and the insurgents under
Antonio Maceo, resulting in another vic
tory for the former. Gen. Echague was
in command of the government troops
and Maceo led the enemy.
The fighting took place at San Diego
and the insurgents are alleged to have
sustained enormous loss. The dispatches
also say that the loss Of the Spanish
troops was considerable that the fighting
continues and that no details are at pres
ent obtainable.
Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 12-NOtwith-
standing reports to the contrary, no ac-
tual information has been received here
that the alleged filibustering tug Daunt-
less has succeeded in landing it's cargo
on Cuban shores, although it has had
time to do so since it left Palm Beach
last Friday night. The Dauntless,
when she left here, it is believed, I'M
doubtedly started on another filibustering
expedition and government officials in
Jacksonville say they will make it hot
for the little boat when it returns. The
cruiser New York has just returned off
the st. Johns bar and resumed its
vigilance over filibusterers. The rev.
enue cutters Merrill and Boutwell, are in
this port and the Winona is in the vicini-
ty of Biscayne bay. but with all their
vigilance the Cubans manage to send
flibustering craft to Cuba at intervals.

SHOT HIS HEAD OFF.
Suicide of George J. Marsh, Treas
urer of a Gloucester, Mass,
Bank.

Gloucester, Mass, Oct 9.-At noon
yesterday notice was posted on the
doors of the Cape Ann Savings bank,
stating that the institution had been
closed. Immediately came the shocking
news that George J. Marsh, for more
than a quarter century the trusted treas
urer of the bank as we'll as the treasurer
and trustee for numerous large corpora
tons and estates, had shot himself at
his summer home at Annisquam.
Late last night the bank officials stated
that after hurried examination no
shortage could be found in Mr.. Marsh's
account with the institution, although
the securities of the bank in Boston have
not been examined. The trustees of the
Gilbert hospital corporation, however,
tell a different story, They say that
three months ago they discovered Mr.
Marsh was insOlvent had been speculat-
ing heavily and had lost money. They
called on him TO produce the securities
OF the corporation, and yesterday was
set as the time when they should be
turned over.
The trustees Of the corporation are
also directors of the bank and the first
intimatiOn they had of any wrong was
note which Vice-President Cunning
ham received upon entering the bank
this morning. The note was from
Mr.. Iarsh and stated that his CMarsh's)
body would be found in the cellar Of his
summer home at Annisquam. Two mes
sengers were at once dispatched to An
nisquam. six miles distant, and when
they arrieyd Mr.. Marsh was heard walk
ing about room in an upper story. The
captain of the yacht, who is also janitor
Of the bank, was in the house, and on
being informed of the contemplated sui
eide of his employer went up stairs 70
prevent it. For some reason he came
down again Immediately and sent mes
senger to Gloucester. but when he re-
turned he found Marsh lying on the floor
in the other. The top of his head was
completely blown off, while on a table
near was a note saying: eff anyone
thinks this a cowardly act, let him try

DEED OF A MAD DOCTOR.
Kills His Wife and Makes Professional
Notes of Her Death Struggles

Chicago, ILL.,. Oct. S.-Dr Carl T.
Nitz, German physician, murdered his
wife and then killed himself yesterday
afternoon. The murder was most Gold
blooded. Nitz and his wife have been
living unhappily because of her efforts
to obtain possession of his property, he
having become a hopeless drunkard
During a quarrel this afternoon, he
stabbed her in the abdomen with a surgi-
cal instrument. The wound was not i'm
mediately fatal, and the DOCTOR sitting
down by her side stabbed her again, this
time in a manner which insured her
death. He then, it is proved by notes
that were found after his death. sat
down by the woman's side, watching her
die slowly, and now and then. to note
the effect of another woun /, he would
iab his knife into her again. He care
fully noted all the symptoms of the
Woman's approaching death, and at one
time left the house and che dying woman
while he procured an oyster stew at a
neighboring restaurant. and bought the
revolver with which he shot himself
For over four hours, as shown by his
notes, he sat by the woman watching her
die.
Just before the police arrived he killed

The Free Riot Plank.

There has been so much Indignation
at the free riot plank in the Chicago
platform, and this Indignation has in
creased so steadily, that many attempts
have been made, especially during the
last two or three weeks, to explain this
plank away. The most common form of
explanation consists of separating the
plank from what was in the mind of
Gov. Altgeld when he framed it and had
it incorporated in the Chicago platform
>"Object to the free riot plank, do yOu?"
asks the Bryan Democrat. 'Oh, then
of course you are in favor of arbitrary
interference by federal authorities in 10
cal affairs" This form of rejoinder be-
trays a knowledge in the advocate that
his cause is weak He substitutes,
knowing we'll enough what he is about,
his party's description of President
Cleveland's conduct in the summer of
1894 for that conduct itself. He knows,
as everybody knows that the particular
interference in local affairs" which the
Chicago platform 'denounces" is Presi-
dent Cleveland's suppression Of the Chi
cago riots.
Now it is possible that Gov. Altgeld
may harbor bitter feelings because Presi-
dent Cleveland then did, as his duty.
what Altgeld, though it was also and for
different reason his duty, had neglected
to do, but it is impossible for plain per-
son, who believes what he is told to I'M
derstand why organized labor or its lead
ers should have bitter feelings toward
the President. While the Chicago riots
were going on, the leaders Of the A L.
u. strike issued bulletins in which they
exhorted their followers to be orderly.
and informed the public that the d,struc-
ton of railway property and the assaults
upon railway employees were not the
work of strikers. If this was so. then
the President, by sending troops to Chi
cage, did not in any way interfere with
