M'LEAN IS IN CONTROL
Ohio Convention Will Be for
Bryan and Silver.
EVERY PLACE CONTESTED
The kilbourne Men Are Making Bitter
but Hopeless Fight-The Cincinnati
Mans Supporters Have 1t
Their Own Way

GAINESVILLE, Ohio, Aug. 29.-There is
an unusually large attendance at the
democratic convention this year, the
S02 delegates constituting only small
part of the attendance. The new state
central committee selected to-day will
hold over for presidential year and
for this reason is attracting much in
terest. Many delegates are willing TO
have strong declaration against Nc
Kinley and Imperialism, but protest
against any declaration against the
war in the Philippines. The Chicago
platform will be reaffirmed with strong
Endorsement of Bryan.
The preliminary meetings at p. m
were in some cases much more spirit
ed than expected and few continued
until evening. The Kilbourne men
contested every place on the long lists.
The results showed that the Mclean
men carried IA of the 81 congressional
districts to five for the combined oppo-
sition, with the two Cleveland districts
contested. AS the Mclean men con-
troll the committee on credentials they
claim that they have the convention
16 to s by districts, as well as 16 to
! for free silver. The Mclean men car
ried the Toledo district by only three
votes and two other districts by only
one vote each, one of the latter being
the district of Congressman Norton
who is the Mclean man for permanent
chairman. The other close shave was
in the 18th district, in which Ianes-
vile is located. and also Marietta, the
home of General A. ]. Warner, who
will present Kilbourne's name.
AT the district meeting General War
ner spoke most bitterly against the
Mclean men. After q free for all
fight the anti-McLean men bolted and
left the room before this district meet
ing was concluded. The Mclean men
control the convention. the construc-
ton of the platform and everything
else tonight, as they will the cOnven-
ton tomorrow, and are tonight hold
ing the most noisy Qualifications.
There have been several unpleasant
passages between the leaders, notably
one between Congressman John j.
LentZ and Allen w. Thurman.
The Mclean men organized the state
committee tonight IA to 5, with two
contested absentees. The committee
on credentials and on resolutions an
nounced at midnight that they would
be in session all night. The Mclean
men were not giving anything away,
and were taking everything in the
country on credentials. There were
about 100 votes contested.
The committee on resolutions spent
the night hearing reports of labor or
ganizations. tax reforms and other spe-
cialists, including even the Latter Day
interpreters of the Golden Rule" It
was after II p. m. when a suh-Com-
mittee was appointed to draft a plat

VOLUNTEERS AT FRISCO.
i,eho and Wyoming Troops Have Reached
Home.

San Francisco, Aug. 29.-The United
States transport Grant, bearing the
Idaho, North Dakota and Wyoming
volunteers, arrived here tonight short
ly before midnight. The Grant left
Manila on Aug. l, touched at Nagasaki
and Yokohama and left the latter port
for San Francisco on Aug. Is. Owing
to the lateness of the hour the federal
quarantine officers did not board the
transport, and pending his investiga
ton, she will lie in the stream. She
will be boarded at an early hour to-
morrow.
Idaho has the largest delegation for
the reception of the returning soldiers,
the welcome committee from that state
being headed by Governor Frank
Steunenberg and United States Sena-
tor Shoup. The reception plans include
a breakfast for the boys upon the day
of their debarkation and a banquet
at the Preside after they reach their
tenting ground.
Before the Grant was sighted orders
had been given by Major General
Shafter to Colonel Duboce of the LIST
California infantry and to Major Rice
of the California artillery to hold their
commands in readiness to escort the
men coming in on the Grant from the
wharf to the Presidio.

Bar association resumed its session to-
day, the aldermanic chamber at the
city hail was filled with distinguished
delegates and lawyers of note from diff
ferent sections of the country, who had
assembled to listen to the address Of
Senator Lindsay of Kentucky. His ad-
dress was closely followed.

ton were elected today, prominent
among them being John C. Milburn,
president of the Pan-American Exposi-
tion company.
The committee on commercial law
made it's report and promised to report
next year upon the subject of involun-
tary bankruptcy. 1t was the opinion of
the committee that the new bankruptcy
law should be generally supported by
bench and bar.

on international law in favor of inter-
national arbitration was unanimously
adopted. The committee on grievances
offered a resolution Of sympathy with
Maitre Labori. the defender of Drey
fus, but it was tabled on a close vote.
The committee on law reporting rec
ommended that law reporters form an
association, in order to secure uniform
itw of style in law reporting.

ORDER Is IGNORED.
County Clerk Sayre Notifies the Board of
Equalization.


Special Dispatch to the Standard
Helena. Aug. 29.-The state board OF
equalization to-day received official notif-
cation from one county clerk of his in
tention to ignore the action of the state
board in the matter of the stock assess
ment. This came from County Clerk
Frank Sayre of Choteau county. He says
that in view of the supreme court decision
that is so frequently mentioned in connec-
ton with the state boards action he does
not consider the boards action obligatory
upon him and until that decision is mod-
fed he will refuse to follow the boards
request His letter to the board follows:
state Board of Equalization, Helena,
Mont: Gentlemen-ln reply to your COM
munication of the oath instant, directing
me to raise values on stock cattle $3.50 per
head and on sheep and lambs 20 cents per
head, 1 would say that, in view of the
fact that cattle and sheep in this county
have been assessed al their full cash value
as determined by the assessors of the
state at their meeting held in Helena last
winter, and in view of the further fact
that the supreme court of the state has de-
cided that the state board of equalization
has no power or right to increase the ag
gregate assessment of the state and as it
has not been shown that this order to in
crease the assessment of this county has
been offset by an order for an equal re-
duction elsewhere, l do not feel that |
can consider your order as binding or OBJ
ligatory upon me, and until such time as
the decision of the supreme court in the
matter is reversed I must respectfully de-
cline to accede to your requests. | return
herewith, unchanged. the assessment re-
port of Choteau county. Very respectful
ly, f. FRANK SASRE,
County Clerk"
This being the first official advices re-
ceived by the state board of a county
clerks intention to ignore the boards in
structions it furnishes basis upon which
to base an action in the courts. 1t is the
intention of the attorney general to apply
to the supreme court for a writ of man.
date to compel County Clerk Sayre to
show cause why he is ignoring the board 5
directions The application for the writ
can be met by demurrer so that the mat
ter can be brought directly before the
court without losing much time. 1t is
hardly expected the court will meet before
three or four weeks. The case will prob
ably not be heard before the latter part
of next month. 1t is not likely that other
county clerks will follow Mr.. Sayre's lead
preferring to await the decision of the
court before proceeding.

Transvaal Affairs Taking an
Alarming Turn,
A TWIST OF THE SCREWS
England Has Enlarged the Original De-
mands of Milner-The Beers Will
Unitedly Resist an Ulti-
matum.

London, Aug 30.-The Pretoria cor
egraphing Tuesday, says:
Events have taken an alarming turn.
Great Britain, at the request of the
uitlanders council, has enlarged the
original demands of Sir Alfred Miner,
the British high commissioner, and is
adopting the view of Cecil Rhodes
that President Kruger will never with
stand an ultimatum.
Il have, however, high authority for
asserting that President Kruger, the
volksraad and the nation will united
ly resist an unconditional demand for
giving effect to the Miner programme,
but will concede reforms on the condi-
tions already reported.

Denver, Col, Aug. "a, 1S99.-Hon.
Elihu Root, Secretary of War: Dear
SiT-I visited San Francisco last week
to be present upon the arrival of the
Colorado volunteers from Manila, and
] take pleasure in testfying to the eff
cheney which in my judgment charac-
terized the action of the department of
the Pacific under General Shafter on
the occasion mentioned. The transport
was promptly docked and the troops
We're promptly disembarked; every fa-
cility for immediate movement to the
Preside was furnished. and a personal
inspection Of their tents and quarters
convinced me that no sanitary precau-
tion had been neglected in the prepara-
ton which has been made for their en-
forced detention as preliminary to their
discharge.
Il have taken the liberty to impose
this opinion upon your valuable
time because l have ever heard
various adverse criticisms of General
Skaters management in similar cases.
and from my personal observation could
conceive no legitimate ground for them.
Il have the honor to be
Your most obedient servant,

your letter of Aug. "a testifying to the
efficiency which has characterized the
action Of the department of the Pacific
under General Shafter on the occasion
of the arrival of the Colorado volun-
teers from Manila. There are so many
ready to say ill-natured things that it
is really gratifying to have expressions
of favorable opinion of this description.
Il am, dear sir. with great respect,
your obedient servant,

commissioned places yet to fill in the
10 new regiments under organization.
Secretary Root finds himself over
whelmed with applications, even great

in the volunteer army in that war are
again applicants for service in the Phil

all of those who held n-commissioned
places. This same willingness to re-
enter the service is said to be observ-
able among the enlisted men, and the
officials cite as a case in point, Colonel

WANT ANNEXATION.
The Object of the Revolution in Santo
Domingo.

Aht oUJett thS
Domingo.
Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. 29.-Nelson
B. Clark of Boston, who has recently
arrived here from Santo Domingo, con-
firms the advices of the associated
press as to the situation of affairs in
that republic, but he adds that the rev.
olution is so essentially national and
devoid of personal political elements
that the adherents of JimneZ are ad
vising him not to come to Santo Do
mingo for the present. What the peo-
pie are clamoring for is not a mere
change in the political personnel, but
good government with financial SOL
vency, with which they associate the
idea of American annexation or a pro-
tectorate.
This. Mr. Clark adds, is the sole pres
ent object of the revolution and the in
dustrial and commercial conditions are
such that the entire nation indorses the
annexation scheme as the only real So
luton. The government prevents cor
respondents from cabling the truth and
the same applies to Hayti, who desires
the suppression of the revolution.

GRAND LARCENY.
Sensational Testimony Expected in a
Dillon Trial.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Dillon, Aug. 29.-Monday evening
Stock Inspector Taylor arrived in
town, having in custody two men,
Frank Flanagan and r. H. Mcneil,
charged with grand larceny. The men
are in the employ of Senator c.. S.
Hurd of Valley county. who recently
purchased horses belonging to the
George NJ. Brown estate. Mr.. Taylor
received a warrant for these men and
yesterday he made the arrest at Medi-
cine Lodge. He called upon Flanagan
to throw up his hands. Flanagan turn
ed quickly around, drew his gun, but
as he did so Taylor made a jump and
grabbed Flanagan's gun, thrusting his
own gun into Flanagan's face with the
remark: Drop it or I'll kill you"
This had the desired effect and the
arrest was made without further diff
ficulty, Mcneil giving up without re-
sistance. Flanagan then tried to turn
his resistance off as a joke.
The preliminary hearing will be held
in about a week, when some sensa-
tional testimony and further arrests
are expected Senator Hurd was una
ware of the alleged crooked work done
by his men. and is doing all in his
power to assist the officers.
