/. CHICAGO, June 30-The meeting of
the national Democratic bimetallic
committee was called ito order at the
Sherman house a. few minutes before
IL to-day by Senator. Harris, of Ten
nessee, whoris chairman Of the organ
ization The meeting was devoted
largely to an exchange of views as to
the outlook for the approaching con-
vention. The opinions was generally
expressed that there would be. no ques-
ton as to the absolute control Of the
convention by the silver forces to-
which was generally added a deter
mination to see that nothing happened
to in any way weaken the control.
There was more Or less individual dis
cussion Of Mr.. Whitney's attitude,
among the delegates. It was noted
that there was no expression on the
part Of any one favorable to yielding
anything to the gold standard element.
The opinion of the gathering on this
score was well summed up in dramat-
ic remark by Senator Harris.

many thousands Of Democrats and Of
many hundreds Of delegates. I can't,
of course, speak for all, but I can

LINCOLN, Neb., June 30.-The Re-
publican state convention will convene
in Omaha tomorrow. A warm fight
has developed over the head Of the
ticket. 1t Is the most intricate political
situation ever witnessed in politics in
Nebraska. Out Of the 80 counties in
the state, % counties are here with
candidates for places on the ticket and
some counties are bringing more than
one candidate MacColl, Meikeljohn
and Moore are the leading candidates
for first place. Left and G. L. Richards

state. The body will heartily endorse
the ST. Louis platform
What will become of the Populists?
Will they be absorbed?"
Il could not answer that question,

counsels I believe, however, that
they will support the candidate pledged
to free silver"

issue in the coming campaign
1 do not. 1 think it will be lost sight

At $40, the senator left for Denver.
He was accompanied to the depot by a
number of friends. He said he would
not attend the Chicago convention. He
proposed to rest in Denver. Senator
Teller seemed much interested in the
strength OF the silver sentiment among
the Republicans Of Nebraska.

THINKING OF HARRIS.
He May be Temporary Chairman at
Chicago.


CHICAGO, June 30.-The committees
appointed by the bimetallic crowd to
confer with the national committee will
meet the gentlemen composing this
organization tomorrow Chairman
Harrity is expected to arrive during
the forenoon and to call the executive
committee together soon after his ar
rival. Members Of the executive COM
mlttee with whom the silver men con-
ferred to-day assured them that no
steps had been taken looking to the
selection of temporary officers. They
Will, however, make their call and pre-
sent statement Of the action Of the
pImetallic committee and ask that that
committee be allowed to suggest the
temporary presiding officer. If this re-
quest is not granted they will report to
their full committee and the full COM
m1ttee will proceed to select a man
for the place and press for his election
at the outset in the face of a. contrary
nomination by the national committee.
Also, in the event that. the national
committee consents to the suggestion.
the silver men will proceed to name a
man for the place. It is even possible
that they would consent to a COM
promise that would allow the national
committee to make its own selection of
presiding officer in case they agree
to take silver man and to submit the
name to the bimetallic committee be-
fore announcing the name.
4- The silver men have given very little
attention to the question as to who
shall be selected to preside but specula-
ton turns most freely to Senator Har-
ris, of Tennessee. His great experience
and parliamentary ability, as well as
his popularity, will render him a for
midable candidate If he manifests a
desire for the honor. The name Of
Gov. Hogg, Of Texas, is also men
toned in connection with the selection.

Action Taken by the Delegation to
Abrogate 1T When the Conven-
ton Meets.

es CHICAGO, June 30-The fact that
the Illinois delegation today postponed
Its decision as to what candidate 1t
would support in the convention, has.
created almost as much comment. as
the decision which the delegation
reached looking to the abrogation of
the two-thirds rule. The only explana-
ton made is that it was considered de-
sirable to look the field over more COM
pletely than has yet been, possible, be-
fore taking a position. 1t is intimated,
however, that Gov. Altgeld, who Is II.
complete control of the delegation has
plans of his own, which are not yet
sufficiently matured to be sprung
Those who have talked with him, say
that he is especially concerned TO Sc
cure a candidate on the national ticket
who will add strength to the. Democ-
racy in Illinois.
X-CongresSman Williams, who
made the suggestion that the delega-
ton should indicate it's preference, said
he had introduced the subject because
he believed that If the Illinois delega-
ton would take a position at this time,
1t could practically name the candi-
date, because of the influence it would
nave upOll JULIET uOuDliui OS1SSdIlOQS.
II shall renew the suggestion at our
meeting to be held next Sunday he
said, "and hope it may not then be too
late for the state to make it's influence
felt, but the sooner we act the strong
er we shall be-"
Mr.. Williams admitted that, while
the name of no person had been men
toned in the meeting, his purpose had
been to, if possible secure instructions
for Mr.. Bland. He is the man for US
to nominate, If we would not be mis-
understood. said Mr.. Williams. 'The
people know where, Mr.. Bland stands
on the money question, and while
others may be as reliable for silver
they are not so well understood to be,
for lone others have been so thorough
ly identified with the cause as he has
been. No explanation would be nee
essary with Mr.. Bland as the Demo-
cratic candidate"
Mr.. Williams said also that the Dem
ocrats of Southern Illinois were prac-
tically unit for Bland and expressed
the opinion that Bland could carry
the state on a free coinage platform.

Severe Lesson Given a Mob at CIeve-

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 30.-For nearly
a month the strike at the works of the Brown
Hosting and Conveying company has con-
tinued with frequent, though individual at
tacks by strikers upon workmen who had
taken their places. The police have haen
patient under the abuse Of the idle men
but to-day for the first time violence was
shown the officers, and they dealt the strik-
ers blow with heavy hand. 7t~
At 5 O'Clock this afternoon ITO EMPLOYEES Of
the Brown company were marched from the
works, under escort of eighty policemen. to
the car tracks on ST. Clair street A crowd
OF 1000 men, women and boys gathered and
began hooting and Kissing. Two motor cars
came along and were sgnalled to stop but
the strikers yelled Go ahead, don't Stop
and the motormen increased their speed and
whizzed by. The police then marched the
men in their charge a block further away
to corner, and halted for another car, tho
roaring crowd following. Some one in the
crowd threw big stone, which struck Pa
trolman Keidel and cut his head OPEN
Deputy Chief Of Police Mcmahon then gave
a pre-arranged signal, and the crowd was
given terrible lesson. Forty policemen
swung out into line and the other forty
closed n around the men they were protect
ing.
The first forty, under command Of Cap.
English and LieIt. Dunn, charged the crowd
with riot clubs and they hit to break heads.
Two PUSHES up the street sent the crowd
in that direction flying and left a dozen
men lying on the pavement with bleediI Al
heads Then the police charged twice in the
opposite direction and then down a side
street. using their clubs vigorously. They
scattered the crowd effectually and arrested
four of the ringleaders, after splitting the
scalp of one of them In the meantime, the
police guarding the workmen stopped car
almost by force and sent their charges away.
No one was dangerously hurt by the club
bling, SO far as could be ascertained, but there
are scores of broken heads. Serious trouble
is feared tomorrow afternoon, and heavy
guard of police will be on the ground.

the meeting, and which seemed to ami
mate all those present, was that the
situation demanded the making sure
OF the temporary organization by the
silver majority. 1t was unanimously
conceded that wisdom demanded that
the bimetallic organization should put
itself in touch with the national COM
mittee, in order to learn its plans as
soon as possible, in order to be able to
counteract them in case they should be
adverse to the silver interests. The

BELL BEAM CRACKED.
Why the Big Bell Does Not Ring
Any More.

There is $4,000 worth Of bell metal lying
idle in the tower of the court house and city
hall, probably awaiting bid from the Junk
dealer. For about a week the citizens Of
Minneapolis, and especially those living in
the outlying districts, were charmed with
the tones of large bell, which tolled out
the hours with great regularity. Never has
there been bell with such restful tone
It's mellow notes foated out on the still night
air. and thousands of people knew the time to
a dot, and rejoiced that the clock was fin
1shed and they could hear the hour strike.
For some time people have missed those
mellow tones, and there have been questions
as to whether or not the new clock was
broken Inquiry developed the fact that it
was not, but that there was a break that
had silenced the bell. The huge beam upon
which the bell is hung has shown a crack,
and this has caused the bell to be silenced.
TIE custodians of the bell are fearful that
the beam may give way and that the huge
bell may break, and SO probably no one will
again hear those mellow tones until Minne-
apolis has other custodians or some one is
public spirited enough to Jacket" the beam.

self as favorable to steps necessary to

of the choice of the national committee,
If that choice should fall upon gold
