Washington, December 2.-The caucus of
the house republicans, which was held in

hours the republican members, without a
dissenting vote, decided to re-enact the
Reed rules.
The selection of candidate for speaker
by the party in power is usually very
animated affair, but months ago all the
other candidates who entered the field after
the retirement of Speaker Reed abandoned
the contest, leaving General David B.
Henderson, of Iowa., the unopposed candi-
date. His nomination was therefore fore
gone conclusion and he was nominated to-
night by acclamation.

General Grosvenor, of Ohio, was re-elect-

enslager, of New Jersey, secretary. After
the house officers had been selected, Gen.
eral Henderson was escorpted to the ros-
trum He was greeted with cheers, and in

pressing his thanks for the honor.
Of N1xxr nrR %

Indications Point to TomIinson

Albertville, December 2-(Special.)-Th
is the largest beat in the county and n
democratic beat was carried by Tomlinson
after hot contest. Both Tomlinson and
Stallings were present during the day. The
returns from other beats indicate that Tom
linson has carried the county, which, under
the circumstances, is a great victory as
the county is a populist county by eight
hundred.
Judge Street, the king of the middle of
the road populists, threw all his influence
against Tomlinson, though the silver ele-
ment of that faction supported him.

of a wound received at that time.

Just Wait, Until Monday and

DEMOCRATS ARE C0NFIDEN 7
A Detachment of Taylor Admirers from
Eastern Kentucky Arrive, and
Will See That Their Man
Gets a Show

Frankfort, KY, December 2.-There is
nothing doing now, "but just wait until
Monday and Tuesday," That is the stereo-
typed expression of both the democrats and
the republicans, and it sums up the situa-
ton in about as accurate manner as Is
possible at the present time.
The town is very quiet, no great num-
Der of outsiders being present. 1t is pre-
dicted that there will be a large influx of
gentlemen interested in the contest here
b. Sunday night and Mondoy morning Lo-
cal politicians of both parties are agreed
upon that point, even though at varience
upon everything else.
A detachment of Taylor admirers from
Eastern Kentucky came today under the
apprehension that the work of the canvass
ing board was to commence today as
originally intended. The party numbered
about sixty, and all of them were very
quiet, it being hard to induce any of them
to talk. They announced that they had
come to see the righ.s of Colonel Taylor
protected and that was all. They all SEEM
ed to be well able to uphold in vigorous
fashion whatever cause they might cham
pon, but gave no evidence of any desire to
look for trouble.
Governor viii Not Talk
Neither Governor Bradley nor Adjutant
General Collier was disposed to discuss to-
day any arrangement they may have made
for the preser~ati ton of order in case of
trouble Both declared themselves conf
dent that there would be no trouble, feeling
sure that calm minds in both parties would
prevent any extreme steps by either fac
ton.
Eve have had practically to re-organize
the state guard said General Collier, ION
account of the decentralization crea ted in
1t by the Spanish war, and now we are
ready for anything, just as the guard of
this state has always been. There will be
no trouble, thought feel sure of that"
AS the time for the Issuing of the guber-
material certificate of election approaches
the Goebel men are losing none of their
confidence, II willingness to put up their
money is a test Two prominent democratic
politicians today who already had wagered
$500 that Goebel will be the next governor
of Kentucky went to the takers of the re-
publican end of the proposition with offers
TO double the bets. One Taylor man de-
clined; the other said he would think 1t
over.

YELLOW FEVER VICTIM
HIS the Only Case Reported in the
Past Five Days.

Santiago de Cuba, July 26.-George
Olson of Denver, superintendent of the
Barber Asphalt company, died at noon
today of yellow fever. His was the
last case of the disease reported, and
his death will probably be the last
one, as all the other patients in The
fever hospitals are recovering. Five
days have now elapsed since Olson S
case was reported, and this is taken
to indicate that the disease has been
exterminated. Last week there were
only sixteen deaths from all causes.
This is the lowest death rate ever
known here.
Gensral Wood thinks that all danger
IS over, but he will not order the re-
turn of the troops to the city or the
raising of the quarantine for some
lime. He says that the average num-
Der of deaths monthly during the
Spanish regime was 25O and that this
has been reduced during the American
administration to 100. With the coun-
try healthy and business improving
he expects that much American capital
will be invested here, which will re-
suit in great prosperity this winter.
He has selected a pleasant and
healthy location in the mountains for
summer barracks. A road to thf place
is now being constructed and the
work on the buildings will soon be
commenced. The barracks will not be
occupied until next summer as the
troops are now healthy at the Songo
camp.

SHRINE or ST. ANNE
The Mecca OF Thousands of CsIho.
Hes Yesterday.

Kankakee, Ill, July 26.-The famous
shrine of st. Anne, near this city, was
today the mecca of thousands of Cath
OIic pilgrims from many parts of
northern Illinois and Indiana, the oc-
casion being the ninth annual pilgrim
age in celebration of st. Anne's day.
The shrine is located in the French
Catholic church in the village of st.
Anne, about twelve miles from here.
The church and shrine was built in
1872. The shrine, which contains a
relic in a bone supposed to have been
taken from the hand of the saint. and
which was obtained four years ago at
Rome by NJ. Marquis, is the most
noted of it's character in the United
States. Many stories are told of mar
veIOus miracles performed Ghrough the
intercession of the saint at the pill
grimages, and each year OH st. Anne's
day the devout French Catholics jour

which the American forces were victo-
rious. Lieut.. Moore with a detach-
ment of the Twenty-third infantry,
while scouting in the mountains, was
fired upon from a strongly fortified
position. One private was killed, name
not given. There were no other cas-

Referring to the reorganization of
regiments. Gen. Otis says: Bell has
enlisted about five hundred men; Wal
lace about four hundred. Lockett is
now enlisting and has over 400 appli-
cations. Might raise an additional
regiment exclusively of volunteers
Gen. Otis further says. 1.-The storm
has abated. The Sherman leaves to-
day with all the troops from Califor-
mia. The Grant is being coaled and
leaves in about four days with the
troops from North Dakota The Wy
omings and IGahos and NIinnesotas are
preparing to leave on the Sheridan as
soon as that transport can be unloaded
and coaled. Other volunteer organiza-
tions will leave as transports are avail
able"
Gen. Otis has been cabled to send
volunteers home as rapidly as possible,
it being the desire of the president to
have no delay in the matter.

quota of cars were running on all the
lines except Abbey, Union and Clark
avenue.
1t was, however, noticeable, that
most of the cars were either empty or
carried only few passengers. Either
through fear of violence or out OF
sympathy for the strikers a very large
proportion of people declined under
the present conditions to ride on the
big consolidated lines and in most
cases they walked many blocks in or
der to reach the cars of the Little Con-
solidated company which is not in
volved in the strike.
About 1900 troops are now acting in
cooperation with the regular police
force of the city under direction OF the
mayor and the command of the head
of the military powers of the state.
This force will be further augmented
during the day.
President Everett of the Big Consol-
idated announced that he will take
back $50 of the old men, provided they
will apply individually. He adds that
possibly this number may be increased
as vacancies occur as a result of the
wedding OUT process to take place
among the newly employed men.
Al, noon $50 employees of the Born
Steel Range company blockaded a car
and dragged a mortorman and con
ductor from their posts, inflicting with
their fists and other weapons injuries
more painful than serious. Soldiers
on guard at the barn hurried to the
scepe, but the rioters escaped.

and their workmen, in consequence OF
which the smelters, that are in the
trust have been idle since June Is.
The board will take testimony at
Pueblo tomorrow and will reassemble
in Denver on Friday to hear argu-
ments. The impression is gaining
ground that the boards decision will
be accepted by both sides to the con-
troversy and that the smelters will re-

NOVEL DEWEY PLAN
One Hundred Thousand Bows
and Girls Will Help.
President of Board of Education of
New York Proposes That One
Day Be Sci for the Children n TO
Honor fhe Hero.

New York, July 26-The committee
on plan and scope of the Dewey re-
ception is considering a suggestion
made by President Little of the board
of education, that the celebration eX-
tend over three days and that the third
day be devoted to the school children.
He believes that at least 100, 900 boys
and girls would like to form in parade
and march past the admiral. A great
chorus of school children could be
drilled for the occasion. 1t is pointed
out by President Little THAT the great
reviewing stand which will be erected
near Grants tomb could be turned
over to the children on the third day
and that here Admiral Dewey could
listen 10 their patriotic songs
The suggestion meets with a great
deal of favor at the hands of the COM
mittee on plan and scope, and the
chances are that it will be adopted and
made a feature of the regular pro-
gramme. 1t is not thought that par
ticipation in the naval parade on the
first day and in the civic exercises and
military parade of the second day will
prove too fatiguing to Admiral Dewey.
1t was said today at the city hall that
nothing would be settled finally until
word comes from the admiral fixing
definitely the date of his arrival here.
The general impression seems to be
that he will be in New York between
September 25 and October l. There
is little likelihood that his arrival will
be delayed beyond the latter date.
The only Dewey subcommittee
which met today was that on badges.
All of the subcommittee will meet
next week. They expect by August L
to have the programme mapped out in
full for che consideration CT the com
mittee on plan and scope The pro
gramme announced by this committee
yesterday is subject to change. In
fact General Butterfeld designed it
simply as skeleton sketch, a sort of
ground plan
