NEW YORK, Dec. 27,-Elllott DAM
forth, chairman Of the Democratic state
committee, returned to New York to-
day, after a trip through the south,
during which he talked with Senator
James X. Jones. chairman OF the ma
tluhal committee. and most Of the chair
men Of the southern Democratic state
committees. This Afternoon Mr.. Dan
forth gave an, Evening Post reporter
the result OF his observations and some
Information about next years national
campaign;
II founl," he said, that the senti-
ment was generally in favor Of select
ing some western city other than Chi
cago al tha place for holding the ma
tIonal convention. The members of the
national committee have a strong feel-
ing against Chicago on account Of the
treatment they have received from the
newspapers there since they establish
ed headquarters In the city in 1886 It
looks as IL either Milwaukee or Kan
sas City VIII secure the national con-
ventlon. Milwaukee seems to Be II the
lead. It has an auditorium with seat
ing capacity Of 1900 ana the citizens
have offered to entertain the delegates
handsomely.
"r also discovered that there Is . gem
eral feeling in favor OF establishing the
headquarters Of the national commit-
tee next year in Washington. Senator
Jones favored Washington in 1885, but
gave way to Mr.. Bryan, who was in
favor Of Chicago. In my trip through
the south ! observed one thing which
will be considered Of particular inter-
est in New York. namely, that none Of
the leaders seemed disposed to insist
on free silver as the main issue OF the
campaign next year. They did not
say that they had abandoned the 1s to /
idea. but they acknowledged that the
situation had changed since 1895. and
that the dominant issues next year were
trusts and Imperialism. That Is to say.
they are unwilling to repudlate the
Chicago platform, but they see that
new issues Of far-reaching Importance
have come up lately and that their
choice should be recognized.
"The Democratic national conven-
tIon, . Mr., Danfortl added, "wlll be held
short time after the Republican COM
vention, according to custom No mat
ter when it is held, there is no doubt
about the head Of the ticket. Every
where heard only Mr.. Bryan's name
mentioned. They are not talking about
candidates. fol. vice president yet An
eastern man Will probably be selected"

he is hardly likely to attempt another

Four Americans were wounded. The
Filipino loss was large. resulting from
heavy infantry and artillery fire for
three hours into the trenches. 1t Is
supposed that the insurgents were
those who were driven out of San Ma
teo on the day General Lawton was
killed. They numbered about thou
sand. Those lines of lnsurgent trenches
covered the steep trail through the
hills ana likewise the valley below,

arrived in the city this morning from

afternoon, where he will spend a, few
days. His object in coming here at
this time. while he did not state It, is
thought to be to meet some Of his po-

in conference.
The ex-senator was not inclined to
talk very much about his chances for
getting new lease upon the United
states senatorship from this state, but
from the tenor OF his remarks 1t was
inferred that he had not fully made up
his mind whether or not he would be a
candidate for reelection. When seen
after his arrival he was asked:
Senator, what are your prospects for

"I don't know: expect to be seated,
