FINDS HE IS ALIVE.
Mrs. SChurman's Long Search for Her
 Husband Ended.

Chicago, Sept 16.-Having mourn ed her husband as dead Mrs Frances Schurman. the Guatemalan refugee, has returned to Chicago after vain search of i've months to find him alive and waiting for her here. Mrs. Schur- man sought safety from prosecution in Chicago six months ago. She had planned to meet her husband, Francis Schurman, who was suspected of impli- cation in the assassination of Presi- dent Barios. Francis Schurman left Guatemala in February and alone, on muleback, fought his way northward through the forest into Mexico. He Ireached the small interior town of Tap achula, sick with fever and exhausted from the indescribable hardships he had endured. At Tapachula he re-
 l nlained three months, unable to com- municate with the outside world, then he started out once more to join his family if possible. It was in the mid dleN of the season, when the roads in northern Mexico are impossible and war, the coast steamship service was
 unusually poor. With two horses Mr. Schurman made his way back to the coast city of Champerica, Guatemala. where he connected with the Panama vessels. Just seven months after the time set he reached Chicago, only to find that his wife had given him up as
 lost and had gone to England to ask aid of her native country. Mrs. Schur
 man told to Lord Salisbury the suffer- | ing of herself and her children and the supposed death of her husband She told of the visit of the police to her husbands hotel, the Cafe Londres, in Guatemala: of her husbands impris- oEm ment in penitentiary dungeon for nine days without trial; of her own subsequent imprisonment on two diff ferent occasions. The story of their flight, of their separation, of their financial losses and of their terrible suffering, she repeated to the represen- tstivs of the government that is fa- nous for its care of foreign subjects.

So far several motions to adjourn until Saturday were turned down and the balloting was at tended by considerable confusion, all though Chairman Bailey kept the up- per hand of the unruly crowd
 The Maricopa delegation made the most trouble, as their vote was divided between all the candidates. At 10 o'clock a recess of thirty minutes was taken, and on being called to order the convention suddenly manifested a desire to adjourn. This was done and 10 o'clock tomorrow was the hour de- cjGed upon.
 THE FUTURE IS DARK.
 No one can now predict with any certainty the result. It is generally believed that Smith will not accept under any circumstances, so the bick- erings may go on indefnitely. Frank Cox has been mentioned as a possible dark horse. Today's work shows plainly that the territorial democracy is hopeIessly split and that fires have beer kindled that will not be quenched. Barnes and Smith have had another inning and both have tasted revenge. Smiths is the sweetest so far.

There was plenty of storm. though, among the delegates. The harried feelings of these misguided in dividuals were not soothed by the ac- commodations for man and beast" that Prescott supplied. It was clear ly a case of the early worm. The del egates who delayed coming until the last day in the afternoon, generally found themselves out in the cold-and it was cold here this morning, too. The delegates who were fortunate enough to have pledged themselves be- fore leaving home found comfortable quarters awaiting them at the differ ent hotels which had been chosen as Headquarters by the various candi- dates The unpledged, and they were numerous, were mostly obliged to wan der about town in the chilly morning air like so many lost souls, until the glorious sun came to the rescue and warmed the cookies of their hearts,

Wilson and Ellinwood had pooled on the Burke as headquarters. Here also was Billy Barnes and his "Injuns.' He, like Smith, had been on the ground twenty-four hours and was closely watching his enemies camp across the street. Smith received the greater number of endorsements from the late corners.

INSuRGENT STRIFE.
Formidable Movement Against
 Aguinald0.

New York, Sept. 16.-A dispatch to he Herald from Manila says: The in surgents changed their plans last night and instead of evacuating all the suburbs of the city as General Otis ordered, they moved from Ermita to Santana, where they appear to be con centrating in strong force. It is re- rCrted, although it has not been con- firmed, that Aguinaldo has ordered that this place shall be held at any cost
 It is more likely a move on the part of Pic Pilas to embarrass the u.c- tatcr. The former rebel chief, ar tacho, who was condemned to death by Aguinaldo for treachery in May and was reprieved and escaped, is leading 15,000 men against Aguinaldo. Ar tacho is backed by the priests A Jesuit priest has been shot for per- suading the rebels to desert Aguir al- dos cause.
 THE OFFICIAL SITUATION.
