Republicans Are Split Up Over the
Question of State Control.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, May 1.-THE city is In
the possession of the Republicans, and to-
night there are over 5000 strangers in the
city, Chauncey Ives Filley and Richard G.
Kerens, the contestants for the state chair
manship, who will conduct the campaign to-
morrow, when the state convention meets,
are here Tonight both delegations held eau
cuses to lay out the programme for tomorrow.
The Filley delegation came in from st. Louis
400 strong tonight and made a parade of the
city.
The headquarters of the contesting delega-
tions are crowded, as are those of Judge
James Gibson and Hon. Webster Davis, the
two prominent contestants for the guberna-
tcrial nomination. All the big Republicans
of the state are here, and each and every one,
as soon as he reaches the city, takes a hand
in the fray, which promises to be somewhat
bitter The Filley men are determined to con-
troll the convention while the Kerens faction
is as equally determined to have matters its
own way. The Filleyites seem to have the
best of the fight, for they have the temporary
chairman Congressman Richard Bartholdt, to
preside at the morning session, and it is an
nounced tonight that Mr.. Filley will either
preside tomorrow as permanent chairman or

CONFERENCE saUApnLE.
African Methodists Divided on the
Question of BIshops.

WILMINGTON, n. c.. May 1.-THE gen.
eral conference of the African Methodist
Episcopal church had lively time today.
Ihe afternoon session was spent in discuss
ing the report of the Episcopal committee.
Majority and minority report were made.
One recommended that the general confer
ence elect four bishops while the other
thought that only one bishop should be elect
ed. Fifty men were on the floor at once
Some said that If more bishops were elected
1t would break up the church, while others
thought If they were not elected the church
would suffer. Neither report was adopted
and they will be considered tomorrow morn.

name the man who will Both Sedalia and
Jefferson City have taken advantage of the
occasion to lobby on the capitol removal
proposition, and each has established head
quarters and brought a delegation of fifty,
who are hard at work. The choice of dele
gates to the national convention seems to
have been temporarily lost sight of in the
fight between the Filley and Kerens factions
for the control of the state organization.
Everything is for Mckinley as far as ap-
pearances go. On all hands McKinleys col
ors are seen and Mckinley buttons are
plentiful. No other presidential candidate is
mentioned, and the indications are that Mr..
Filley will secure the conventions indorse-
ment of Maj Mckinley without trouble
Those on the inside say that the resolutions
are already prepared to that end, and the
convention will indorse Mckinley instruc-
tions without debate.

MACS SURE CINCH.
Mr.. Grosvenor Thinks the Fight Is
Already Over.

WASHINGTON, May n.-Congressman
Grosvenor says that, inasmuch as everybody
who has sense enough to understand knows
that the contest is over, and that no earthly
power can prevent the nomination of McKin-
ley on the first ballot, 1t is hardly worth while
to issue any more bulletins. At the same
time, he issues a table showing that Mckinley
now has 54S delegates. He candidly admits,
however, that he includes contested seats, to
a total Of so, that he regards as sure for Nc
Kinley. There are seventytwo delegates yet
to be selected, and of these Mckinley will
have fifty without contest. Hence, excluding
altogether the contested seats, Mckinley will
have 53S On the first ballot.
AS to the claims that some delegates may
go back on their instructions, Mr. Grosvenor
says he has no knowledge that there are any
scoundrels elected as delegates, nor has long
contact with vicious men in politics polluted
his mind to such extent as to make him
believe that other men are willing to demon
strate themselves as wiIfully dishonest.

DELAWARE DELEGATION.
1t VIII BE Sent to ST. Louis Without
Any Instruction.

DOVER, Del, May II. = The Republican
state convention for the selection of delegates
to the national convention will meet tomor-
row. 1t will be controlled by the friends of
j. Edward Addicks. Mr.. Addicks will head
the delegation to st. Louis, and two of the
others will be ]. Frank Alice, of Dover, and
Dr. Hiram R. Burton, of Lewes. The delega-
ton will not be instructed. Mr. Addicks be-
lieves that the six votes of Delaware should be
held in reserve so as to go to the winner
when the decisive time comes, and his views
will probably be adopted.

WEYLER OBJECTS.
United States Will Not Let Him
Carry On the War.

MADRID, May 1.-THE Spanish premier,
Senior Canovas del Castillo, and the United
States minister to Spain, Hannis Taylor, had
a conference today, the result of which is
not known. 1t is reported that Capt. Gen.
Weyler has cabled the Spanish government
that it is impossible for him to proceed with
the war as he should, as the Spanish au-
thorities at every moment are hampered by
the Irritating meddling of America in Gu
ban AFFAIRS 1t is understood that the
United States government has presented fresh
claims for heavy indemnities through losses
on sugar plantations belonging to Americans
that have been burned by insurgents. 1t is
expected that these demands will lead to
further complications.

evidence which may be exhibited in the said

evidence which may be exhibited in the said
trials"
The contention Of the state department is
that, irrespective of the Cushing protocol Of
1877, this treaty gives the American prisoners
certain privileges that were withheld from
them by the Spanish court-martial Notably
they were obliged to rest their defense in
the hands of a Spanish officer detailed Tor the
purpose, and one in all probability not par
ticularly anxious to clear his clients. and
were prevented from selecting their own
counsel as guaranteed by treaty Also, it is
said that the prisoners were not accorded an
opportunity to procure testimony in their
own behalf. This is one of the privileges in
separable from lawful and regular conduct
of the prosecution. Altogether, the indica-
tions are that the state department is pre-
pairing to make strong legal defense against
the execution of the death penalty in the
case of the American prisoners.

that if pardon was granted to the British
prisoner, it cannot be withheld from the
Americans.
