OHIO REPUBLICANS
Interest in inc Stote COnVen-
 lion al Columbus.
The Thousand Delegates Already Chosen Unanimously in Favor of inc Endorsement or inc Admin iSfrafiOn.

Cincinnati, O., May 2S.-The ur- usual interest in the republican state convention at Columbus this, week is due to it's indirect effect on President Mckinley next year, as well as to me direct effect on the state factions and contending candidates this year. In the earlier skirmishing there was talk of a possibility that the state admin istration would use it's power to secure an anti-McKinley delegation from Ohio to the republican national con venti0n next year.
 Since all but four of eighty-eight counties have selected delegates it is found that about 900 delegates are unanimous upon endorsement of the national administration. It is still claimed by some that the results Of the convention this week may deter mine what kind of a Mckinley delega- ton will be sent to the convention next year.

will be gratifying to the department to learn that in every instance the mos. cheerful views were expressed and real satisfaction shown at the present condition of trade. As one gentleman expressed it, our trade conditions be- ing good in times of war, we have every reason to look forward to an era of great prosperity when peace in the Philippines is firmly established.
 One Of these merchants quoted a part of a letter from his son, who wrote, in effect, that the discipline ana bravery of the United States soldiers have won the admiration of all for eigners. The coolress and splendid courage shown by them in going into battle is marvellous, and will not soon pass from the memory. of those who witnessed their surpassing va!or."

A GLOOMY OUTLOOK
Philippine Rebellion Takes a
 New Lease of Life.
The Natives. Aided by inc Wet Sea- son and riSIed Regarding inc American Temper, Are Likely 10 Keep Up Inc War inde finifeIy.

Manila, May 2S.-The approach If seemingly taking a new lease Cf lifa. All along the American lines the reb- els are showing more aggression ip guerrilla style than at any time be- fore or since the fall of Malolos. They keep the United States troops in the trenches, sleeping in their c,othing and constantly Cn the alert against dashes on cur outposts, and then make life warm for the Americans by firing on the towns.
 The bands of General Luna and Gen eral Mascardo, which retreated tc- ward Tarlac when they feared they would be caught between General MacArthur and General Lawton, have returned in force to the cid trenches around San Fernando, where there are daily collisions. Opposite the lines on the south, protecting Manila, all the way around San Pedro Macati, the Filipinos have three rows of trenches.
 Reports from prisoners indicate that the insurgents construe the peace ne gotiations to mean that the Americans have had enough of fighting. The Fill ipinos are encouraged by the belief that the Americans are preparing for an interval of inactivity during the wet season. Thousands of acres that were under cultivation last year were not plowed this year, and the govern ment will probably be obliged to feed thousands just as it fed the Cubans. The friendly natives-amigos- come pouring into the American lines by

claimed the right to the first tilt with the beast. He had gone out a little way when the animal charged upon him. He jumped aside and made q thrust with his sword The point stuck into the ribs of the animal and with a roar it turned and dashed back upon the boy matador. The onslaught was too much for Reinig's pr0wess and he was picked up on the horns of the animal and tossed high into the air. He landed in a corner by the fence more dead than alive. His shoulder blade was broken and one of the horns had gouged a hole in his arm. Jessup saw the pTedicament of his companion and ran to his assist ance. The bull met his onslaught with lowered head, and before the boy had time to realize what had happened he too, was tossed high over the fence and into the ditch. The boys who had come to witness the fight Ian screaming down the road. At the corner they met young Reinig's fath- CT, Henry Savage, and George Me Clellan, who were coming to inspect the herd. The three men ran to the field, and after some difficulty sue ceeded in rescuing Reinig. Both boys were taken home, and a doctor WAS called, who said the injuries were serious but not necessarily fatal.

MATADORs VANQUIsHED.
Two Boys Badly Injured While Imitat-
 ing Spanish Bull-fghters.

Chicago, May 28.-Englewocd had a ree3 bull fight today and the nat3- dors, two boys, Willie Reinig and George Jessup, narrowly escaped with their lives. For some time the two boys have been reading Spanish liter ature telling of bull fights, and they concluded they wanted to be matadors and receive the plaudits of their friends.
 It was decided that twenty boys should be let into the secret, and they were told the contest would take place on Sunday Promptly the invited guests and the principals put in an appearance at the pasture where the fight was to take place. Reinig was armed With an old sword, while Jessup had manufactured a sword out of an old corn knife With these weapons the boys proposed to vanquish the bull
 Reirig, having the best weapon.

finally agree, almost if not quite
 unanimously, to support General Hen-
 derson,
 As he expressed it today the move
 ment in favor of Sherman has reached
 large proportions without any ap-
 parent warrant for the fact. The Utica
 congressman was not thought of, even
 as a temporary presiding officer in the
 house, until the consideration Of the
 Tingley tariff bill. At that time
 Speaker Reed asked the leading mem | bers of the ways and means commit 1 tee on the republican side who they
 wanted to preside over the committee l cl the whole. It was lbelievd then that. considering the need for leaders
 on the floor at every stage of the pro- | ceedfrgs. Mr. Sherman could best be spared. He presided in a manner
 which made an excellent impression. i He had not been recognized as a lead
 CT in the councils of the house, and,
 while admitted to possess excellent aLiEsy, was not looked upon as 2 lead CT in any sense It is claimed now by
 
 candidacy that his merit lies princi- ual!y in his clear-headed knowledge Of parliamentary law and h:s ability to execute it from the speakers chair. But the ability of 9 presiding officer, his opponents urge, is not the only requisite for a speaker It Is well known that Speaker Reed exertcd his great influence as much from the speakers room and in other less pub lie places as he did from the chair.
 This view of Sherman's candidacy is far from universal, of course, but it is the view generally entertained by the several New England congress- men who have determined to vote for General Henderson.
 So far as can be learned there Is very little sentiment among the New England members in favor of Repre- sentative Hopkins of Illinois It is held, however, that the composition of the next ways and mG,ns- committee may have an important bearing on the speakership canvass. For several years the committee has changed very little, except by reason of death or TO tirement from congress for some rea- son. The second man on the ccmmit- tee, or thsi linking member after the chairman MT. Payne, is Rsprasenta- tive DalzeI. Dalzall IS probably for Payne for speaker, and Tn ease Of the latter's election Dalzell would un- doubtedly ibe made chairman of ways and means The second man on tho committee i, Mir. Hopkins. It is bare- l ly possible that, in case the Illinois | man should turn his strength over to 1 Henderson, it would be done only on | condition that he be placed at the head | of the ways and means committee. | There are other possible combinations, of course, and it is held by come con- gfesanen who have lately expressed an opinion in the matter that the per sonnel of the next ways and means committee will have an important i'll, fuence in the speakarship contest.

NATIONAL SILVER REPUBLICANS.

Blackfoot, Idaho, May 2S.-Ex-Seh- ator Dubois, chairman of the executive committee Of the national silver com mittee of the republican party, was interviewed today as to the attitude of the silver republican party. He said the silver republicans will meet at the same time and place as the den2c- cratic national meeting.
 t'ThCse who supported Bryan in 1896 will support him again unless there is some special reason for not doing so. There will not be many who will abandon the principles deliberately adopted, for personal or special req sons. Democrats will declare against the republican policy of the admins tration and imperialism. Mckinley will be supported by the aggregation of wealth and all that it represents.

 "A conference followed between General Rios, who went from Manila to withdraw the troops, and the insur- gents. The latter stated to him that they would not oppose the landing of the Americans, but would accept the condition offered in Luzon. The Span ish troops withdrawn are now here and will depart fer Spain tomorrow.
 "A feeble attack by the insurgents on the inhabitants in the southeast portion Of Negros necessitated the sending of battalion of troops from Manila there. They will soon restore crder.
 '-Insurgent falsehoods circulated in the southern islands of overwhelming victories in Luzon keep up the excite nent in that section among the more ignorant classes, although the inteIli- gent people know that the American arms have never met a reverse and they call for United States protection.
