OVERALLS CAUSE TROUBLE.
Garments Are Worn By Graduates and
School Board Resigns.

Lyons, Neb., June 29.-The school
board of this city has resigned in a
body because the high school gradual
ing class persisted in appearing on the
stage on commencement night CARRIED
in overalls. The students claim to
have suffered certain humiliations at
the hands of the board, and by way Of
retaliating adopted the word Work"
for their class motto, and determined
to appear in laborers' garb to claim
their diplomas. The board, learning
of the plan, endeavored to suppress it,
and, failing in that, informed the class
that the expenses of the opera house
would not be met from the schoo' fund.
The graduates answered this move by
charging an admittance fee, and the
townspeople entering into the spirit
of the jest, crowded the house to the
doors. The board looked upon this
result as an Endorsement of the stu
dents course, and resented it by aban-
doning the management of the city's
educational affairs.

GOEBEL NOMINATED
KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS NAME
HIM FOR GOVERNOR.
AFTER A BITTER FIGHT
The Balloting For a Candidate Contin-
ues Three Days Before Choice Is
Made-Novel Method Used to Bring
About the Result-Ticket Not Com
pleted.

Louisville, Ky, June 28.-William
Goebel, who with an iron grasp ruled
the democratic state convention since
it assembled a week ago, was last night
nominated governor on the 26th bal
lot, after a contest unparalleled III this
state for bitterness and determination,
or on the part of the winner for skill
full manipulation. The end OF the long
fight brought a reasonable degree or
harmony to the factions which bat
tied for every inch of ground. Nearly
everybody joined heartily in the dem
onstration when the candidate ap-
peared for the first time before the con-
vention to accept the nomination and
to return his thanks.
The 21st ballot for a candidate for
governor taken at o'clock Tuesday
afternoon resulted almost exactly like
the first taken Saturday night and
was: Stone 1913; Hardin 355; Goebel
S38. Temporary relief came in the
shape of a resolution offered by Ben L.
Hardin, a brother of one of the aspir-
ants for the nomination, providing
that the convention adjourn sine die,
and empowering the state central COM
mittee to take any action necessary to
place a ticket in the field for the cam
paign of 1899. This brought out much
opposition. At this point, Capt. w. J..
Stone and Gen. P Wat Hardin ap-
peared on the stage side by side and
made speeches. After these speeches
Judge Tarvin asked that the resolution
feat the object of the convention. Fin
ally the convention declared the reso-
luton out of order and refused to rec
ognize an appeal. The roll call then
proceeded without much disorder on
another ballot for governor. This was
the 22d ballot and resulted: Stone
369; Hardin 355; Goebel 1868. At this
point E. A. Cullion offered
a resolution providing that after
the 25th ballot the hindmost candidate
be dropped and not voted for there
after. The Stone and Hardin leaders
made another stand, but could not
control their forces. The resolution
was dQOpL0u by d VOI0 VI 90 W oAV'
and at o'clock the 23d ballot was OBJ
tanned. This resulted: Stone, $50;
Hardin, 346; Goebel, 361. The Oath
ballot was: Stone, 348; Hardin, 361;
Goebel, 346. The 25th: Stone, $50;
Hardin, 378; Goebel, 1888. Under the
resolution adopted Stone, having re-
ceived the smallest number Of votes,
was dropped. Everybody was on the
qui vive, and the Goebel and Hardin
forces nerved themselves for the final
struggle. The next ballot, the 26th,
resulted in the election of Goebel by
the following vote: Goebel, $50; Har-
din, 531. The convention then adj
journed until today when the ticket
will be completed.

London, June 27-The correspon-
dent of the Daily News at The Hague
says: "The German delegates Monday
privately informed their colleagues
that they had received instructions to
accept the principle of permanent
tribunal of arbitration as outlined in
the Anglo-American plans. This and
speech by Col. Gross Won SchwarZhoff
plainly intimating that Germany had
made up her mind against the Russian
idea Of disarmament and had reached
the conclusion that the time had ar
rived to tell the world so are the two
great events of the whole conference.
Neither has been published as an Off
cial act of the German government, but
everybody knows Germany will not re-
cede from the position thus taken. Mon
day | interviewed many delegates,
some friendly to Germany and others
hostile. They were unanimous in de-
claring that Col. SchWarzhoff's speech
was a smashing blow, a pulverizing ar
gument The effect was tremendous
within the .oanfe ance when Col.
Schwarzhoff pointedly exclaimed:
Germany is not ruined on the con-
trary her wealth, contentedness and
standard of life Che used these English
words) are daily increasing. Alto
gether his speech was the greatest
sensation of the conference, hitherto
this body not expecting Germany to
reject the Russian proposals in SO
brusque and unconditional a manner.

out in the Verde Copper company's re-
verberatory furnace Tuesday night aud

beratory is the largest Of its kind in
the United States and is directly undcr

investment of $250,0O0. A framework
holding 100000 tons of coke fell with
a crash on the fire and the whole

was made to save the coke, but every
energy was made to keep it fr )m burn
ing, the power house. The loss will Ee
heavy and will fall on Senator Clarke
alone. The fire originated from the
friction of one of the belts on The fuf-
mace blower. Twelve hundred men
are thrown out Of employment.

Washington, June Secretary
Alger, Adjt Gen. Corbin and Col.
Bird, assistant quartermaster general,
in charge of transportation, had an
hours consultation with the president
Yesterday relative to the question OF
reinforcements for Gen. Otis. A deli
mite decision has been reached to con-
tinue recruiting men at all the recruit
ing stations for service in the Philip
pines. Secretary Alger said when he
left the white house, after the confer
ence, that Gen. Otis would have 100000
men, when the rainy season closed,
for a resumption of active operations.
There are 70 recruiting stations in
the United States and enlistments are
to be taken at all Of these stations.
The enlistments are to be for service
in the regular army and recruits are to
be assigned to regiments already
formed, after enlistment. Gen. Cor
bin said the enlistments would be for
three years although the law for the
creation of the provisional army Of
81. 900 in excess of the regular army Of
81, GG0 provides only for such a force
until 1901.
Arrangements are to be made at
once for increasing the transportation
necessary to get those additional
troops to the Philippines. The deci-
sion to reinforce Gen. Otis by the end
of the rainy season is interpreted to
mean that aggressive campaigning will
cease until the bad weather ends.
Until that time our operations will
probably be confined to occasional eX-
cursions to places in close vicinity to
our lines where the insurgents may
have congregated in force.
By remaining quiescent under COCA
shelter during the rainy season it is
hoped the health of our troops will be
conserved and the danger from eli
matte fevers reduced to minimum.
Gen. Otis has cabled the war depart
ment that he has the skeleton organi-
cations of two or three regiments
which it is proposed to raise in the
Philippines. At the war department
this is said to mean that Gen. Otis has
the officers for these regiments selected
and that they are ready to be filed
with enlisted men. How many of
these can be secured from the
volunteer regiments now in the
Philippines is not known. It is
stated at the war department that the
recruits now being enlisted at the rate
of 900 a week cannot be used for the
volunteer army provided for in the act
of March 2, authorizing $4,000 men, al
though it would be an easy matter to
transfer these men with their own con-
sent to the volunteer service if it
should be determined to raise addition
al troops.
