Lean Men i'm Control.

COLUMBUS. o.. June 29-There Is a
larger attendance at the State Democratic
Convention than has ever been known on
such an occasion in Ohio. 1t was thought
to-day that fusion would be perfected
with both Silver Republicans and the
Populsts, but the Committee on Rules,
to which the question was referred, could
not agree tonight on a report to give
places on the ticket to both of these ele-
ments, and the whole question Of fusion
will be referred to the convention to-
morrow. without recommendation
The platform is for free silver and
nothing else. 1t simply reaffirms the
Chicago platform and repeats the Ian
guage of the financial plank only. There
is no new matter in the platform. 1t
was the desire Of Mr.. Mclean to have the
State convention last year adopt only one
resolution, and that for the free and un-
limited coinage Of silver at 16 to l, and
this was his wish at Chicago. He has
his way tonight, as nearly as can be,
and there is no doubt about the adoption
of the proposition by the convention to-
morrow.
Although there was a hard fight on r.
T. Hough as McLeans candidate for Gov
ernor, it is believed that Hough will be
nominated, and that the Mclean men
will have their way in everything.

self-possession and courageously assisted
the officers and crew to do their best to

But it was soon seen that the steamer
could not survive the shock, and that
the only chance for safety lay In the
boats. Life-belts were distributed dis

the vessel with terrific force. Daylight

BANNOCKS BREAK AWAY.
Settlers AInrmcd-AuthOrit Don't
Consider Situation Serious.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., June 9.-Three
hundred Bannock Indians have broken
away from the Fort Hall reservation, in
Idaho and their actions have alarmed the
settlers in the adjacent territory. The
news of the outbreak of the Indians from
the reservation came to-day. i'm dispatches

graphed Secretary Bliss late last night,
and to-day wired urgent messages 10

Shoup Immediately went TO the Interior
Department, where they called attention
10 the situation. and the dispatches also
were promptly forwarded TO the Secretary

grams to the Cabinet meeting. where
they were discussed. A formal communi-

The request of the Idaho people for
troops to protect them from the Ban
nocks did not reach the War Department
until rather late I'm the afternoon. Secre-
tarv Alger held a consultation with acting
Adtutant-General Breck. and some of the
other officers, who are experienced in Just
such Indian troubles as this. and the
conclusion reached was that the depart
ment should take steps TO learn for itself
the exact situation in the Fort Han
country. Accordingly. a telegram was
sent to Brigadier-General Coppinger. at
Omaha. Neb., the headquarters of the
Department of the Platte in which the
reservation is included instructing him
to send one or more officers to the scene
of the trouble. to ascertain and report
upon the state of affairs there. The de-
partment officials have no doubt that the
difficulty will be easily overcome, belieV
ing as they do. that the Indians are not

These Indians are the ones who figured
in the Jackson Hole affair some time
ago, and had several skirmishes with set
tiers.
A commission is now negotiating with
them. as well as with some other tribes,
for a cesson Of part of their reservation

worked for many months, but the Indians
