WHAT IT MEANT.
HARRIsoN's ABSENCE FROM THE
CONVENTION.
..There Never Has Been One Hour
Since I Left the White House
That L Desired to Return to IT.

INDIANAPOLIS, May ST. T. Roots
the Indiana politician who presided
during the greater part of yesterdays
convention and who is very close to the
ex-president, has made the following
statement regarding the significance of
yesterdays action:
1.-The question has been frequently
asked, what significance attaches to
Harrison's absence from the conven-
tion?' In answer, it may be said his
absence is a confirmation of his state
ment, There never has been an hour
since I left the White house that de-
sired to return to it, and further frees
him from the charge that might have
been made, /. e., insincerity. In an
swer to the question, What will be the
effect of the resolution instructing for
McKinley?' it can be truly said that
it must be beneficial to all concerned.
First. it is truthful reflection of the
sentiment of the voters of Indiana
concerning Mckinley which has crys-
talized since Mr.. Harrison's letter of
February last, and if the unexpected
should happen at St. Louis and there
should be a call for the ex-president,
he would be in a position to accept such
a call, and the followers of Mckinley
would become the supporters of Gen
eral Harrison since Indiana, in no un-
certain terms, has instructed for Nc
Kinley az her state convention

DUNLAP AND TURNER.
Extradftion Papers Granted in Lon.

Extradition Papers Granted in Lon
don Yesterday.
LONDON, May S.-The extradition of
w. A. Turner and William Dunlap,
arrested on the charge of having stolen
jewelry valued at 100000 from l. Town
send Burden of New York, was grant
ed at the Bow street police court today
by the chief magistrate, Sir John
Bridge.
John D. Lindsay, assistant district
attorney of New York. sat on the
Lench beside John Bridge, and Mrs
Burden and Detective Evanhoe the
special agent appointed by Governor
Morton to bring Turner and Dunlap
back to the United States, were present
in court.
Counsel for Turner tried to show that
his client did not know of the robbery,
and that Dunlap was really the guilty
man.
The magistrate, however, overruled
this plea and granted the extradition
of the prisoners.
Counsel for Dunlap said he did not
desire to address the court.
AS to the reward offered for the re-
covery of the jewelry, concerning the
right to which a question has arisen
between the Scotland Yard men and
Streeter, the Bond street jeweler, to
whom some of the stolen stones were
offered, Mr.. Burden said today that the
matter would be settled in New York,
when he obtained possession of the
jewels.
The detectives were asked why the
prisoners were allowed to leave New
York with the jewels, and replied that
Mr.. Burden seemed afraid to adopt Wig
orous measures as the men had no
previous criminal records. Consequent
ly, it was added, the New York detec-
tives hesitated to arrest and search
the two suspected men.

TARs ON A TEAR.
Started Out With Champagne Bottles
and Finished Up WithsKnives.

SAN FRANCISCO, May S.-Fighting
with champagne bottles as a. beginner
and finishing with knives, a dozen or
so of the tars of the United States
gunboat Petrol whipped twice their
weight in Britishers at Shanghai short
ly before she sailed for this port, where
she is now at anchor.
The row was caused by the big
British cruiser Spartan throwing it's
searchlight ON the Petrol in such a
manner that it was interpreted as an
insult. Captain Emery wrote curt
note to the commander Of the Spartan
and in return received a letter of
apology.
The next day eight or en- of the Pc
trefs seamen were seated In an upper
room of a saloon when about twenty
of the Spartan's men entered the bar
room. The Yankees were drinking and
singing patriotic songs, and the big
gest Englishman in the intruding crew
suggested that they throw the Yankees
through the windows.
The British tars started up the stairs,
but none of them reached the top. The
door above was suddenly opened. and
through it came a shower of glasses,
bottles and cases of champagne which
had been stored IN the little room.
When everything that could be utilized
as a weapon was gone the American
sailors came flying down the stairs
and the battle became a hand to hand
conflict. Knives were drawn and used
freely, and the English forces were
badly cut up. When they were finally
routed half 9 dozen of their men Law
bleeding on the floor.
The British consul subsequently held
an official inquiry into the affair and
the court decided against the Spartan's
crew.

PROVISIONS FOR CHARITY
Senate Committee Concludes Its Com
sfderation of a Bill.

SideratiOn OF n Bill.
WASHINGTON, May S.-Thel senate
committee on appropriations today
concluded it's consideration of the bill
making appropriations for the District
of Columbia. The most important
change made in the bill was that re-
storing the old system of making APP
propria tons as made by the house. The
action of the senate committee is in
accord with that first taken by the
house committee on appropriations
which caused the bill after it was about
completed in the house, to be recon-
mitted. When it was again reported,
it was with provision placing all the
appropriations for charity of the dis
trict in the hands of the commission
ers, in which form 1t passed. The ac-
ton of the house was based upon the
theory that the charitable institutions
were sectarian in character.
The committee made Droviso that
no part of the money appropriated for
charities shall be paid for the pur-
pose of maintaining or aiding by pay
ment for services or expenses or other
wise any church or religious denomina-
ton.
The committee also recommends the
appointment of a joint select commit
tee composed of three representatives
to investigate the district charity insti-
buttons, especially with reference to the
diversion, if any, of money appropria-
lions for them to the support of

Italian Government Has No Idea of
Abandoning Massowah.
ROME, May Sin the course of a
debate today on the African credit, the
minister of foreign affairs, the Duke
of Sermanita, repudiated the idea that
the Italian government had the inten-
ton of abandoning Massowah, and in
timated the Italians would hold Kas-
sala so long as the interests of the An
glo-Egyptian expedition to Dongola de-
manded it.
General Ricotto, minister of war, fol-
lowed the Duke of Sermonita, in the
chamber of deputies, and approved the
decision of the government to abandon
Tigre. To prosecute war for two years.
he said, 10000 men and an expenditure
of f40,000000 would be required The
italian possessions would therefore be
limited to the Mareb-Belso river line.
The government, he said, would do its
utmost to obtain the release of the
prisoners in the hands of the Abyssin-
ians, even paying ransom for them.
He hoped that eventually a modus VII
yendi would be arranged.

All time I have been and am now a double standard man, believing in the free coinage of gold and silver at the hints of the United States at the ratio of l6 to l in- dependent of any other nation on earth and of any international confer ence on the subject.
