week with the usual district meetings Tues
day afternoon, the committee meetings
Tuesday night and the convention proper
on Wednesday. The conventions in the
counties that were concluded yesterday in
dicate that the free silver men will con-

conservative element has reorganiZed the
state committee recently. The more con-
servative delegates from Montgomery But
Ter and other counties have their seats
contested and may be thrown out. The
conservatives are represented by Congress-
man Sorg. Ex-Governor Campbell. ex-Col-
lector Dowling and others, while the friends
of John r. Mclean. who managed the
last state campaign. are radically for free
silver and the Chicago platform. Most of
the factional fighting is for the control
OF the state committee. Judge Allen
Smalley. who will preside over the tenn
porary organization and deliver the key
note speech. is radically for free silver
and for the denomination of Bryan. Among
those mentioned for the head of the state

TAKES ISSUE WITH IRELAND.
ReV. MIR. John I. Murphy. of Pitts
burg, Thinks America Should
Foster CathOlicfsm.

PlTTSBURG. PA. Aug. 21-Rev. Mr..
John 7. Murphy. president of Holy Ghost
college this city, rather takes issue with
Archbishop Ireland, who, in an interview
yesterday. practically said that the Cath
Ole church in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines was the only established and
needed no aid outside of itself. Father
Murphy expressed the belief that the
United States will find it wise to adopt a
liberal policy toward the islanders and
assume all church obligations that oh
tanned between Spain and her colonies. In
other words. endow the churches and pro-
vide for their maintenance as has been
done for the past 400 years.
The reverend gentleman says:
England, the greatest successful colon
iZinS power since the fall of the Roman
empire. found it the wisest policy TO ac
cept the conditions as she found them and
allow the people of conquered territory all
the rights they enjoyed before. She did
ii in Canada, India and all of her other
colonies.
Other powers have failed of success
because they tried TO force new customs
upon people whose government they had
overthrown."
LONDON, Aug 22.-The Times Vienna
correspondent says:
The Politische Corresponding publishes
a dispatch from Rome to the effect that
the Vatican will Immediately open nego-
tiations with the United States for the
appointment of Il new hierarchy in the
Spanish colonies which come into the pos
session of America. 1t is anticipated that
an arrangement will be made similar to
that made after the annexation of MeXi-
can territory by the republic. There the
Spanish clergy Were gradually superseded
by priests of other nationalities. chiefly by
Frenchmen. The latter We're found 10 he
better suited to the purpose than English
or Irish priests. as they more readily ac-
quired a knowledge of the Spanish lam
guage and secured the confidence of the
inhabitants.

course will be adopted in Cuba. Porto

HONG KONG, Aug. 21.-Officers of the
steamer China, from Manila, which has ar

when Manila was attacked by the Ameri-
cans was merely nominal, and was made
solely to maintain thS honor of Spain. The

MURDER TO HIDE A CRIME.
Nebraska Cowboys Tell of n COnspir-
acy to Save Miser JAM
SENS SlaYer.

STOCKVILLE. NEB.. Aug. 21.-To-day
has brought sensational developments in
the Jansen murder case. This is the case
in which Thomas Jansen, an erratic miner,
was murdered in December last, though his
body was not located until last week. when
it was found at the bottom of an abandon
ed well.
Monday the coroner's jury reported that
Jansen came to his death at the hands of
unknown persons but recommended that
Andrew Hawkins, prominent stockman
of this section, be held until he explained
why he filled the well in which the body
was found, about the time the corpse must
have been deposited there.
Apparently nothing had been learned by
the coroner's jury that would shed light
on the case. Hawkins did not appear much
surprised and volunteered the information
that he filled the well to prevent his stock
from falling into the hole. He was prac-
tically released then. although he remained
in the nominal custody of the sheriff.
1t now appears that the authorities have
been playing a deep game with the aSsaS
sins of the old miser. and as a result have
practically solved the mystery.
The jury did learn something about the
assassins and their plans last Monday, but
gave out false Information purposely. DR..
Chase, the coroner, to-day filed the verdict
OF the jury, which declares Hawkins guilty
others. not yet known.
Ed and Frank Conklin, cowboys. testified
conspiracy with Hawkins by which they
were TO go out on the railroad near Brady
island and Kill a tramp, then swear the
tramp confessed to them that he had mur-
dered Jansen. They would thus get the
reward of $500 which the relatives of the
miser in New York had offered. and would
also cast suspicion in another direction.
The verdict duplicates others and indi-
Gates that the assassination was the delib-
crate result of a conspiracy, into which
number of prominent men in Frontier coun-
ty entered for the purpose of securing the
vast sum of money and securities which the
victim was known to carry.
The testimony of the Conklin brothers
was that S. 600 in cash and s2SO 900 in United
States bonds. mortgages and notes were
taken from the body of Jansen before il
was cast into the well

NO USE FOR COLONIAL OFFICE.

MADRID, Aug. 21.-The cabinet is con-
sidering the question whether it is neces-
sary to retain the establishment of the
colonial office. with both Cuba and Porto
Rico gone, and the fate of the Philippines
hanging in the balance. The consensus of
opinion seems to be that money would be
saved by abolishing the colonial office alto
gether. and making in its stead a subor-
dinate branch of the government. which
would directly depend upon the orders of
the president of the council. Senior Giron
minister of the colonies, will shortly ask
for decision of the cabinet upon the ques-
ton.
