HANNA MEN BOLT.


81
Cleveland, o.. June 1s.--As one Of the re-
suits Of the senatorial fight last winter, the
Republicans of Cuyahoga county has been
the fiercest and most turbulent convention
battle ever seen In Northern Ohio.
At the caucuses Thursday night the
struggle between the Hanna men and the
forces Of Mayor McKisson was keen and
bitter, and the outcome was so doubtful
that on Friday both factions claimed to
have elected a majority of the delegates
to the county convention.
The convention opened in army and navy
hall this morning amid the greatest ex-
element. A large squad Of police was on
hand.
The county committee of fifteen con-
trolled by the Hanna men insisted upon
IT'S usual privilege of naming the temper
airy chairman and sent c. W. Collister to
the platform in that capacity
Amid a storm of shouts and yells and
the greatest confusion on the floor and
platform, the McKisson men demanded
that C. F. L. Taft be made temporary
chairman Mr. Taft went to the platform
and stood beside Mr.. Collster
Pandemonlum broke loose. The police
charged on the platform, climbing over the
reporters tables and forced Mr.. Collister
and every Hanna man with him out of
side entrance.
Mr.. Taft called for vote on temporary
chairman, and before il ended every Han
ma delegate had left the hall. Mayor Nc
X sson was In a side room, and the Hanna
men went to Ribleys hall, nearby, where
they chose delegates TO the coming state
convention and a county committee OF
fifteen for the ensuing year
The McKisson men, in the Army and
Navy hall did the same The state con-
ventbon will decide which delegation will
be seated. and the courts Will proba bly,
decide which committee of fifteen was
legally chosen.

and thousands of dollars have been

Mr.. T. W. Harrison-The committee
considered the matter of leasing the
fair grounds, and it was thought that a
valid lease of the grounds for park pur-
poses could not be secured at this time.
So it was decided that whatever was
done should be done Jointly between
and while the grounds could beimproVed
as park, their usefulness for fair pur-
poses would not be destroyed.
Judge John Guthrie would like to
see the legislature authorize the county
commissioners to lease these grounds to

recommendation of the committee be
accepted.
Mr.. Bonebrake-I want to amend that
motion by instructing the committee to

settled by the arbitrament of arms
ana the time has now come in the evo-
luton OF sentiment and feeling under
the providence OF God when, in the
spirit of fraternity, we should share
with you in the care Of the graves of
the confederate soldiers.
"A wild cheer went up from every
throat in the typical southern audience,
a cheer that echoed and re-echoed
throughout the chamber until it was
taken up by the crowds outside.
OLD men who fought for the south
rose from their seats and waved their
hats. One confederate veteran, now a
venerable LEGISLATOR, had pressed for
ward until he was leaning against the
speakers desk, hanging on each word
the president uttered. When the refer
ence was made to the confederate dead
this old man buried his head in his arms
and while the cheers rang out, cried
like little child
OF all the many conciliatory speeches
which have been made since Grant said:
Let there be peace" nothing has more
deeply stirred a southern audience than
the simple words of President Mckinley.
No sooner had President Mckinley con-
cluded than there were loud cries for
Wheeler and when that little man got
up his head, scarcely higher than the
speakers head, the audience once more
gave vent to wild enthusiasm.
General Wheeler referred eulogistieaI-
~ to the efforts of the president toward
preserving peace as long as the coun-
try's honor would permit such efforts.
He paid tribute to Admiral Dewey
and added:
THE army, in conjunction with the
navy, was ordered to attack and destroy
the Spanish forces at Santiago. In four
weeks that order was obeyed and it's
purpose accomplished. The proud Span
ish nation stood suing for peace from
the nation which month before it had
held up to ridicule and Scorn.
Secretary Alger refused to speak, and
the legislature dissolved.
The president held a private reception
in the senate and afterward a public
reception OH the stairs of the rotunda.
Then hundreds of southerners crushed
and jostled each other in their anxiety
to shake a northern presidents hand.
Many had come from miles distant and
when at 3:15 p. m. the president left
the capitol there were still hundreds
bitterly disappointed because they had
not been able to make their way
through the surging thrOng to get a
seconds hold on his hand.
Last night the members of-the Can
itOl City club opened their club house
to the president and Mrs. Mckinley and
the guests of the city. The occasion was
notably brilliant. The receiving party
consisted of a number of Atlanta's rep
resentative women and a large company
of club members. The decorations were
flags, American smilax and American
Beauty roses. -
The late arrivals today were Evan
Settle, of Kentucky, who will speak in
the place of Congressman Bailey; Rich
mond p Hobson and Miss Hobson, and
Governor Voorhees, of New Jersey.

MORE ROOM NEEDED
at the Insane Asylum and at the
Reform School.

The needs of the Topeka insane
asylum and state reform school were
presented to the Commercial club last
night by DR.. L. D. Mckinley and Mr.
J. NJ. Hart, superintendent respectively
of the two institutions. Before the
meeting adjourned President Green ap-
pointed committees to prepare legisla-
tive measures looking to the improve
ment of both institutions along the rec
concentrations made by the superin-
tendents.
In his paper, Mr.. Hart stated that at
present the reform school was crowded
and said that a new cottage to accom-
modate at least seventy-f1ve boys was
demanded by the needs of the inStitu-
ton. He thought such building would
require an appropriation of $35, 900. He
further recommended the establishment
of an industrial department the secur-
ing of an appropriation of 81 900 as prize
money to be distributed among the boys
as an encouragement for faithful and
competent work, and the securing of
an appropriation for the suitable re-
pairing of the present buildings of the
institution He said it was absolutely
necessary that extensive repairs be
made within short time.
DR.. McKtnley's recommendations en-
braced the erection of a new executive
building and a hospital. He said that
a new executive building would allow
the room now taken up by offices to
be used for asylum purposes and that
at least 100 more patients could be ac-
commodated. Sixty thousand dollars.
he thought would be a sufficient appro-
priation for both buildings.
Messrs. r. S. Brigham, S. T Howe
and James A. Troutman were appointed
to take up the recommendations of
superintendent Hart, and Messrs. A.
w. Dana, NJ. w. Van Va1kenburg and
up the recommendations of DR.. McKin-
ley,
