WEALTH OF il HERMIT.
John Riley Dies Amid Squalor Leaving q
Fortune.

Washington. April 23.--A few days
ago an old man named John Riley. who
had been living as a hermit In an old
house near the river was found lying in
his squalid quarters. He was removed
to the almshouse, where he died.
The body was inferred through the
efforts Of railroad men who knew little
of the circumstances Of the old mans
life. Since then his identity has been
disclosed as John Riley, who was a
millionaire in st. Louis only a few
years ago, and owned property valued
at between seven and eight millions
of dollars, the greater part Of which.
however, has disappeared. The old
man left st. Louis some years ago with
about 100000 in cash. none Of which
has been found. Riley was promin-
ent steamboat man on the Mississippi
river during the war, and rendered val
liable service to the government in
transporting troops and supplies, for
which he had a claim against the gov
ernment for s95,00O. His son-in-law,
Charles S. Hall, of st. Louis, is here
and will have the body taken to st.
Louis.

SCENE OF EXCITEMENT.

The introduction of the resolution
created a genuine furore. Cries of
Quay" QUAY" filled the air, and
Chairman Mylin tried in vain to re-
store order. Robinson finally mounted
the stage and. after demanding protec-
ton from the chair. he made an i'm
passioned address. He started off by
telling what he had done for Quay in
the senator's fight last year. and said
he wanted the national delegates to
first support Quay, but after that, in
Difference to the feelings Of the people
who love Quay, there should be the

year Quay was for Reed or Mckinley
Hon. Boies Penrose declared for Nc
Kinley some time ago, the speaker
said as did also Senator Andrews, and
the speaker had no doubt Mckinley is
today their second choice.
Senator Boies Penrose, who replied
to Congressman Robinson, said he had
considered the name of Mckinley as
available and good, but he was not here
to work any scheme Of personal aggran-
dizement. He was not here to make
Quay's endorsement ridiculous and
weak before the country. Quay has
frequently been misunderstood, he has
always been victorious and today he
is the foremost Republican in this
broad domain. He has won his spurs
by gallant fighting and last summer he
showed himself a master of political
control. He is the most likely candi-
date Of all those before the st. Louis
convention. and nomination there
means his election. Shall we, his
friends, permit any person to intro
duce any amendment to our platform
that would weaken or belittle Mr..
Quay? cloud cries Of mo" and

The outcome Of the tumultuous affair
was the rejection Of the Mckinley
amendment by vote Of 65 ayes to IFS

the respective strength Of the Quay
and anti-Quay elements.
The original platform was then
adopted. aE

TRIAL OF A BA1TLESHIP

HAS SPEED ABOVE CONTRACT
In Spite Of the Heavy Sea the Vessel
Rides the Waves Gracsfully-Will
Earn Her Builder Bonus
Of 500. 900.

Boston. April 23-The battleship
Massachusetts was given preliminary
run by the builders over the official
course today. The trial was so salts
factory that only two-fifths of the dis
tance was steamed over. The ship was
speeded for a little less than two hours.
and in that time she averaged 1853
knots an hour. which Is SO of a knot
above her contract speed. II the vessel
carries out the expectations raised by
her performance today, she should
make a full 16 knots on her official trial
Saturday and earn her builders bonus
of 100000.
1t was perfect spring morning as
the sun ever rose upon when the Massa-
chusetts headed down the bay for the
open sea, but there was q heavy swell
rolling In from the ocean. This swell
soon made itself apparent to those
aboard the ship. Several sailors were
forward securing the anchor. The
Massachusetts poked her nose into a
roller and a small sea broke over the
bows. This was followed an instant
afterwards by a torrent Of white crest
ed foaming water. which swept the
men at work along the deck like nine
pins.
SAILOR INJURED.

good drenching, but one sailor was
thrown against an anchor fluke and his
leg was badly cut. The vessel plunged
continually under water. Two sailors
were sent forward to cover the forward
ventilators with tarpaulins as the lower
deck was being flooded out. While
they were tying the canvas around the
ventilators a particularly big sea came
over the boat. AS the wall of water
came at them both men hung on for
their lives. The sea lifted them from
their feet and swung them into the air.
both had a good grip, one on ventila-
tor and the other on a backstay, and
both held on. but as the sea dropped
them back on the deck one Of the men
was dashed with such force upon the
planks that his ankle was sprained.
1t was necessary to bring the vessel
broadside onto tho surge before the
ventilatOrs could be secured.
After the Massachusetts got out to
sea, the swell was not SO heavy, but
nevertheless the surge was big enough
to materially reduce the speed Of the
ship. Despite the heavy swell the
Massachusetts, hardly rolled at sea, and
proved that she Is an excellent gun
platform. ...'.

Twenty Days viii DO Pardoned- Good
Results Expected.

Havana, April 23-Capain General
Weyler tonight issued proclamation
which he expects will result in many
Of the rebels laying down their arms.
The proclamation says In substance
that :he insurgents In the province Of
Pinar del Rio have been demoralized
by the obstacles which prevent their
passing the military line extending
from Mariel to Majana, and by their
constant persecution by the troops.
1t being known that many Of the in
surgents are desirous Of surrendering,
but fear to do so. believing they will
be shot. he therefore orders that all
rebel leaders and their followers who
during the next twenty days shall pre-
sent themselves with their arms to
the military authorities in that prov
ince will be pardoned. Pardon will
also be eX.anded to those rebels and
rebel symDathizers who surrender
without arms. The military authori-
ties, the proclamation adds, reserve
the right to decide where those who
surrender shall reside.
