CALL FOR A CONFERENCE
To Plan the Democratic Cam
paign for 1000.
BRYAN WILL BE THERE
The jefferson Club, of st. Louis, Will
Give Banquet to Visiting Demo-
crats-The Time for Organs
cation.

Milwaukee, Wis, May 22.-Edward c.
Wall, national democratic committee
man of Wisconsin, to-day made public
the call for conference of members of
the national democratic committee at
st. Louis May %, the announcement of
which was published some time ago.
Wisconsin will not be represented at
the conference, as Mr.. Wall does not
look upon the meeting as more than a
conference of the ways and means COM
mittee, and in giving the letter to the
press does so after being criticised by
Wisconsin democrats because of his
determination not to attend the meet
ing.
The call is in part as follows:
st Louis, Mo-, May 4.-To Hon. E. C.
Wall, Member Democratic National
Committee, Milwaukee. Wis, Dear Sir:
Before sailing for Europe, Senator
Jones wrote letters to us, in which he
asked one of us (JohnsonN to act as
secretary of the committee during Mrs.
Walsh's absence and asked another
of us (Stone) to act in his stead as
chairman of what is known as the
ways and means committee, having
headquarters at Chicago, until his re-
turn. On Senator Jones suggestion we
have met here to-day for conference.
We are of the opinion that the time has
come when the work of organization
for the campaign of 1900 should be be-
gun in earnest and actively prosecuted.
We believe this work should be carried
on not in two or three states, but
throughout the union to the end that
we may be prepared to fight the battle
next year with well-grounded hope of
success. We believe the members of
the national committee should meet at
an early day for conference with
view to reaching some understanding
as to future operations. We have no
authority, of course, to assemble the
committee in regular meeting, but we
have thought it would be proper and
wise to write to members of the COM
mittee individually and suggest an in
formal conference. 1t so happens that
the Jefferson club of st. Louis. repre-
senting the Missouri democracy, will
give dinner in this city on May 25, to
which 1900 persons will be invited. Mr..
Bryan and other leading men of the
party will attend this dinner and for
NAL invitations will be sent to each
member of the national committee AS
st. Louis is a central and convenient
point, we have concluded to write men,
beers of the committee and invite them
to meet us here on the morning of the
25th inst. at the Planters hotel where
we can spend the day in discussing
party affairs and arrange our future
work.
"Please advise us by letter to Mr..
Stone here, or Mr.. johnson at Pea
body, Kas, whether we can expect you.
Respectfully, J. IT. STONE,
-. G. JOHNSON"

experience with others connected with
reformatories for boys.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, May 22-Judge Knowles
heard some pending motions and dis
posed of some bankruptcy proceedings
in the United States court this after
noon. Harry A. Lesher and Innocent
Scorti Of Butte were adjudged bank
rupts and their cases referred to Ref
cree Campbell of Butte. The first named
has liabilities of s590.70, assets nothing.
Scorti owes $6,740 and has assets of
$l,292. The court set June u as the
date for hearing the petitions of John
S. Baker Of Butte and Roth & Corn
hauser of Livingston to be discharged
from bankruptcy.
e. N HARDWOOD, attorney for A. J.
Davis, and Norton Chase, counsel for
Irwin Davis, in the present hearing be-
ing held before Referee Blair in Butte
argued before the court upon mo-
ton of Mr.. HARDWOOD to vacate an order
made recently extending the time of
the plaintiff and defendant for taking
of testimony. The court changed the
order as to the defendant, but allowed
it to stand as to the plaintiff. The order
for County Treasurer Higgins of Mis-
soula county to show cause why he
should not perpetually desst from at
tempting to sell for taxes two animals,
the property of Oliver Gebrau and Alex
Matt, two Indians living on the Flat
head reservation, should have been
heard to-day. County Attorney Denny
and H. c. Stiff, as well as the attorney
general, appeared for the county treas
urer, while District Attorney Rodgers
appeared for the government. Counsel
agreed to have the case go over two
weeks and the court so ordered. In
the meantime the treasurer will file an
answer. The court will appoint a ref
cree to take testimony upon the most
important point raised in the case,
namely-whether the two Indians be-
long upon the reservation.
B. E. Maiden and c. M. Sawyer of
Anaconda, ]. K. Mcdonald of Butte
and ]. K. Bamble of Marysville were
admitted to practice in the circuit and
district courts.

their rivals and injure their own trade.
NO doubt is felt in official circles that
the BraEillan government will make
prompt investigation of the discourtesy
offered to the Wilmington and that
speedy action will be taken. The au-
thorltfes sincerely regret that the Incl
cent should have arisen because of the
undoubted friendship of the Brazilian
government for the United States, and
they are satisfied that all proper
amends will be made.
Under the instructions given by Sec
rotary Long to Lieutenant Commander
w. w. k1mball. commanding the gum
poat vixen, now on her way to Blue
11elds, Nicaragua, that officer will main
tain constant Geographic communica-
ton with the department. This order
is in addition to that requiring him to
protect American interests along the
Central American coast, and 1T is for
the purpose Of preventing any inter-
ruption In the communication between
the men-of-war of the United States
cruising In Central American waters
and the department. The gunboat Ma
rietta and latterly the cruiser Detroit
both experienced considerable difficulty
in forwarding messages to the depart
ment and receiving instructions, due,
according to the explanation of the
Nicaraguan government, to an "inter-
ruption" in the land lines
1t is not at all certain that the cruiser
Detroit will leave Central American
waters, even upon the, arrival of the
Vixen. Her departure is entirely de-
pendent upon the condition of affairs a
Bluefields at the time the Vixen is
spoken and should the situation be
quiet the department may deem it adj
visable ITO dispatch two vessels to Hon
duras to expedite the payment of the
indemnity for the murder of an Amer
can named Frank Pears.

COMMERCIAL JEALOUSY
Was the Cause of the stoning of the Will
minxton.

Was the Cause of the Stoning of the will
mington.
New York, May ga special to the
Herald from Washington says: Com
mercial jealousies between the cities on
the River Amazon are responsible for
the insults offered the gunboat Will
mington and the stoning of the Ameri-
can consulate at Manos by Brazilian
mob. Reports received by the state
and navy departments present the facts
which have been made the basis of
proper representation to the Brazilian
government. When Commander Todd
announced at Para, before the ascent
of the Amazon. his intention to pro-
coed to Manos, there seemed to be some
objection to his purpose. but he succeed
ed in securing pilots who conducted his
ship satisfactorily to Manos. Here
Commander Todd paid his usual calls
upon the captain of the port, who was
very cordial until he ascertained that
the Wilmington was under orders to
continue her cruise until she reached
Iquitos, Peru. when his manner
changed. The governor of the province
in which Manos is located declined to
receive Commander Todd and obstacles
We're put in the way of obtaining pilots
for the navigation of his ship on the
remainder of the cruise. Commander
Todd succeeded, however, in getting a
couple of men from an Italian vessel,
and with them continued the cruise.
Upon his return to Manos he found that
the government had revoked the IL
censes OF the pilots and otherwise pun
ished them, and on account of the at
titude of the governor he could not get
pilots to take the ship down the ANA
ION, and it was necessary for him to
rely upon his ships force, which did the
work in an entirely satisfactory man
ner. When the Wilmington proceeded
toward Iquitos few people, including
representatives of Manos newspapers,
surrounded the consulate and threw
few stones at 1t to show their disappro-
val of the conduct of the Wilmingtons
commander 1t appears from the re-
ports that the people of Manos, ike
those of Para, object to the exploita-
ton of towns above them, fearing that
such action will inure to the benefit of

emptied the chambers of revolver into
a mob of several hundred men and boys.
One of the bullets struck Michael Woods
in the thigh and inflicted wound that
may cause serious consequences Then
the friends of the injured man renewed
their assault upon Passmore and his
brother and father, the latter having
come to the assistance of his sons. and
when the trio sought refuge in their home
the place was bombarded with stones I'M

New York, May 22.--It has been as
certained that the Mutual Life Insur-

issuing insurance since March 81 in ex-
cess of one thousand millions of dollars.
Some years ago a bill was introduced
in the New York Legislature limiting the
insurance to be issued by any one COM

Giants" The Mutual Life has practi-
