No Change in the Democratic Sit
uation at Harrisburg,
LEADERS SEEM TO Be Lls4LEss
Fight May Narrow Down to Smith
and Mestrezat.
RESULT OF LAST BALLOT

HARRISBURG, Pa. June 15.-At 1
o'clock the democratic state convention
took a recess until o'clock. The dead
lock over the supreme court judgeshfp Is
still impregnable. There Is practically no
change in the situation, and there is no
telling what will be the result. Repeated
efforts have been made to concentrate the
delegates from western pennsylvania
against the east and vice versa, but all
have been futile. Judge Mestrezat Of Fay
cite seems to be slowly rallying the west
ern delegates to his standard, but his mana
gers have not been able to break into the
Allegheny delegation, which cast its thirty
votes on every ballot for Judge Kennedy Of
Pittsburg. National Committeeman Guffey
and other leaders are apparently taking no
active sides for any of the candidates, and
If this continues the convention may not
complete its work until tonight. Mestrezats S
managers declare they are in the contest
to the finish, and expect to receive the sup
port of the bulk of the Allegheny delegates
II Kennedy withdraws- The Lycoming
delegation has dropped its favorite, c.
Larue Munson. and this afternoon will line
up for Mestrezat. The latter's friends re-
1use to go into any combinations. and the
indications are that the fight will even
tually narrow down to Smith and Mestrezat.
After the supreme judge has been nomi-
mated Representative VIM. T. Greasy of
Columbia will be named for state treasurer
by reclamation. There are no aspirants
for the superior court judgeship.
The voting this morning began with the
taking of the twelfth ballot. which resulted
as follows: Albright, 10; Allen Sc; Bechtel,
II: Ermentrout, 81; X nnedy, 66; Krebs,
%; Lyncn. 20. Mestrezat, 20; Munson, Is;
Smith, -; Wolverton. 10: Yerkes, S.
This showed very little change from last
nights baHoting. Yerkes led Kennedy by
two votes, but both lost a few votes as
compared with last nights final ballot
The last ballot before recess was taken
was the eighteenth, and was as follows:
Albright, 16; Allen, II; Bechtel, Is: Ermen-
trout, 81: Kennedy n: Krebs. 80; Lynch
20; Mestrezat, At: Smith. 10; Wolverton, Is;
Yerkes, 81: Pattison, 5.
Cumberland cast it's five votes for ex-
Gov. Pattison on this ballot.

Better Tone to Stocks in New York
Today.
INDUSfRIALS VERY IRREGULAR
Commission House Orders Gave
Steadiness to the Market
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, June 15.-Pricss were mod
efately strong throughout the morning as
the result of some rather good buying In
the specialties. Commission houses had
some buying orders, but were disposed to
proceed cautiously in their execution. The
so-called Flower stocks were bought in con-
siderable quantity. and this fact helped TO
sustain prices during periods Of rather in
dnerent trading in other parts Of the list.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit, Peoples Gas and
Federal Steel were all strong during m.
morning. but subsequently reacted under
sales of the general list for professional
account
The industrial department was extremely
Irregular at times, some of the newer nron-
critics being almost wholly without support
at times.
American sugar was strong during tho
morning under mixed demand The tesii-
mony of the president OF the company at
yesterday 5 meeting of the trust invesfi-
gaurg committee was in the main con-
strued TO be favorable to the stock The
one point upon which particular emphasis
was lald, namely, the dissatisfaction result
ing from protective tariff was the only
deNeiopment which Cccasioned surprise.
The sugar company has led the demand
for governmental protection heretofore and
now through its president testifies that
SuSn leglSIaUOn really gave birth to the
trust idea. There is one explanation of this
seeming conversion on the part of the sugar
management which Is finding credence in
certain quarters, namely. that the foreign
producer has been. or Is about to be
brought into such close relationship with
the American company that the aid of the
government Is no longer required.
Ihls view fits in rather well with the
recent rumors relative to the object or
Mr.. Havemeyer's European trip.
The granger shares were relatively strong
for time. but there is in them, as else
where, an absence of outside demand
Some good buying comes in from time to
time, but the demands is easily supplied
ana the market relapses into dullness from
winch 1t emerges only after a period OF de-
preston by traders Liquidation is not In
evidence, and neither is there any argu-
ment favorable to any considerable selling
of strong-box holdings
Without such selling all declines are more
or less restricted, but in the present market
there is an industrial list which allows for
wide fluctuations and might force out the
mer1torious issues in order to protect those
of unknown value. The entire market
would advance easily il some concerted ac-
ton were undertaken looking to that end.
Present indifference. however. is likely TO
have the same influence on prices as the
weather. which produces it 20 some degree
has on the temper of the room. There are
more good arguments in the market than
bad. but no one is willing to exploit them
just now.

cred I'm the direction of Imus- The rebels
who were apparently expecting an attack
retired. leaving behind them twenty Span

The rebels have probably gone to the
mountains along the lake
According to native stories, the rebels
carried 100 dead and 800 wounded through
Bacoor after the recent battle.
The natives are now flooding into Bacoor

The whole section is practically without

Stories of Assassination.
Many people still refuse to credit the
stories of the assassination of Gen. Luna

Though the reports to that effect are most
circumstantial and from good sources
rumors of assassinations and disasters
from the rebel camp are so frequently

ceptional means of learning of the Filipinos'
movements, claims to know Gen. Luna is
still alive, adding that if he is dead, and If
his death occurred a month ago, people
would have expected collapse Of the revo-
luton to follow.
The failure of the Filipinos to follow up
the peace negotiations strengthens the i'm
preston that their overtures We're merely
to gain time and in order to lure the Ameri-
cans to show their hands.
Interview With Luna.
The Independence, a revolutionary
organ, of May 20, copy of which has just
been obtained. prints an interview with
Gen. Luna showing the arguments he used

Mr.. Jas. NJ. Jarvey, Il Wall street. New

Arbuckle Bros, was before the industrial
commission today and testified at some
length He began his testimony shortly be-
fore o'clock.
He had built a refinery in 1885 When
they began business the margin between
the raw and refined sugar was 80. 1t had
been as low as 81, and is now 81.
He was satisfied that Havemeyer could
not refine sugars cheaper than Arbuckle
could, but he did not care to state what his
cost of refining was. He thought that
would be giving an advantage to his COM
petitors which he did not think he should
be called on to do.
The witness was very positive that he
was in the sugar business to stay.

Fatal Accident.

A runaway accident occurred on
the Buckland ranch, near Fl Chur-
chill, Wednesday evening of this
week, which caused the death of a
man named John Beeman. Bee
man was in the employ of the Lee
threshlng outfit which was thresh-
ing grain on the Buckland ranch.
At quitting time Wednesday night
he unhitched his team from the
strawbuck and started for the house,
about mile and half distant. On
the way the horse he was riding ran
away and Beeman was thrown off
and dragged distance of about 100
yards. He was found in a dazed
condition by some of the other men
shortly after the accident occurred
and taken to the house. He was
somewhat bruised about the head
but said he thought he would he all
right in a short time. About IL
o'clock Wednesday night he was
taken with spasms and became un-
conscious. At 5 o'clock Thursday
morning R. E. Lee and Henry Cirac
started to bring Beeman to Dayton
in a spring wagon to secure medical
aid, but while on the road to this
place the injured man died. He
evidently had received severe in
ternal injuries, and a Coroner's jury
rendered verdict in accordance
with the above facts. Beeman was
stranger in this section of the
country having arrived on the Car
son Sink few weeks ago from
Wadsworth. He was on his way to
Bishop Creek, hut secured employ
ment with the Lee threshing outfit
and postponed his journey for the
time being. He was 90 years of age,
but it is not known of what State
he was a native. His funeral took
place here Yesterday.
