1t is further asserted that Mr.. Payne
Is now considering the matter and that
he is strongly tempted to accept the po-
sition, particularly since the pressure that
is being brought to bear on him comes
from the most influential quarters in
Washington and elsewhere.
So far has the matter gone that If
Mr.. Payne can secure the consent of his
physician to take up the heavy work of
the national craftsmanship, it is under
stood that he Will permit himself to be
persuaded, and will be installed as Sen

At Gibbon seven inches of water fell

Kentucky Democrats Adjourn With

LOUISVILLE. KY, June 26.-The Dem
ocratic state convention again adjourned
over today without having selected a
ticket, nearly all the time the delegates
were in session having been consumed In
fflibustering.
AT 3:45 a delegate came forward with q
proposition to adjourn John B. Thomp-
son and John s. Rea, Stone manager,
and Milward Mitchell, representing Har-
din, had for five hours been standing to-
gether on chairs Immediately in front of
the chairman, directing the filibuster.
They took up the plan with a readiness
that was full of meaning, for the strain
was telling on them. Just as an agree

Goebel lieutenant, rushed out, fresh

The filibusters pulled themselves togeth-
er for a test of endurance, for Chairman
Redwine had big package in front of
him from which he had just drawn a
piece of fried chicken, refusing to enter
tain a motion to LAY it on the table"
The disorder continued without inter
ruptien until after o'clock, when the
Goebel men hit upon the plan to have
county chairmen come to the stage and
cast the votes of their delegations. This
Set their frenzied opponents beside them
selves with anger, but the roll call pro-
ceeded, the awful din increasing all the
while. County chairmen came to the
stage and the clerk had to lean over to
very close range to catch a word that

Stone delegates did not vote After half
an hour of the hardest kind of work the
ballot was finished and announced, as fol-

Saturday evening, the belief being that
she was going to meet the Sfax, having
Capt. Alfred Dreyfus on board, return

sailors of the Tage who landed later said
she had not met the Sfax. She encoun-

all along been officially claimed that the
cruiser was leaving Brest solely for the
purpose of testing carrier pigeons
Another DreyfuSard meeting organized
by Socialists was announced for this even

have been distributed during the day
calling upon the people of Brest "to de-

Charge That a United States Sem

SIOUX FALLS, s. D., June 26-Alf
Burkholder. a newspaper man. has Gre
ated sensation In political and army
circles in South Dakota by charging that
a United States senator forged a letter
in support of the senator's hostility to
expansion and to the war in the Philip
pines. The letter purported to have been
written by an officer of the First regi-
ment, South Dakota volunteers. whose
name was withheld through fear that the
writer would be court-martialed.
The letter reflected on practically every
feature of the conduct of the war in the
Philippines, limited at an Investigation
and at dreadful exposures. declared that
sick volunteers were compelled to leave
the hospitals and take their places on
the firing line, and, in fact, described
the conditions in the American ranks as
being little better than in the convict
camps of Siberia
The point in the letter, which, accord
ing to Burkholder. led to its being ex-

posed as spurious, was the fact that it
was dated at Manila, April 9, and de-
scribed the fighting which resulted in the
capture of Calumpit on April 26, more
than two weeks after the letter pur-
ported to have been written.
A defense was made in behalf of the
senator that the letter should have been
dated May 9, instead of April g.. 1t was
further stated that the letter was re-
ceived with other Manila letters last
Tuesday. But here, according to Burk-
holder, the senator falls down. For the
letter appeared In the issue of paper
here last Tuesday morning, some hours
before the arrival of the mail train
bringing the regular Manila mail.

LONDON, June 26.-The queen, the

of Russia, the Duke of Connaught, Gen.
Lcrd Wolseley, commander-in-chie of
the army; Col. Samuel Sumner 3. A,
military attache of the United St. e. en-
bassy, and many princes and pripcesses
were present on the famous plains Of
Aldershot today to witness a review Of
over Is, 600 of the best troops in the king
dom. This review is interpreted in Lon
don tonight as a means Of satisfying
Queen Victoria that her troops are ready
for any emergency in the Transvaal or
elsewhere. 1t is known now that the queen
returned: from Balmoral castle, Scotland,
mostly for the purpose of attending this
review.
Not since the queens jubilee has a
more magnificent army corps passed be-
fore a European sovereign, and while
6,00o additional troops remained in their
barracks the display afforded the queen
ample evidence of her military resources.
All the regiments which took part In the
review were those which would answer
the first hurry call to arms for the Trans
vaal or elsewhere, and as the first bat
talions swung past the royal carriages
their fitness evoked the heartiest ap-
plause. Nearly $1,000 infantry, 500 guns
and $4,000 horses made up this magnificent
display. Nearly all the foreign military
attaches were present, and a profound
impression was made upon them as the
dragons, the Scots, the famous royal
regiment of which Emperor William is the
honorary colonel the fusiIeers the Cam
erons, the Scottish rifles and other heroes
of the Zulu campaign swung past The
enthusiasm of the crowds was intense,
and the queen smiled appreciation as each
command came Immediately under her
eye.
Col Sumner and the other attaches
compared the army of the queen to "a
forest of shimmering steel. overhanging
a scarlet sea-" and characterized 1t as
one of the finest reviews within their
experience.
