ALATE ENTRY.
Is Expected to Stampede the
Indiana Democratic Con-
VentiOn.

Indianapolis, June 5.-Nearly all the
candidates and a large part of the del
egates have arrived for the Democratic
state convention which opens at 8
o'clock tomorrow morning. The full
delegation of 1,527 members is expected
in during the day and until they ar
rive the strength of the various can
didates can not be determined. The
situation is chaotic and no accurate
forecast can be made.
The absorbing topic of conversation
is the contest for the gllbernatorial
nomination. There are three candidates
now in the field, John W. Kern, of
Indianapolis; Frank B. Burke, of In
dianapolis, and Nelson J. Bozarth, of
Valparaiso. Kern has the support of
the Marion county Democratic organiz-
alton and will be backed by Democratic
Mayor Taggart, a member Of the Dem
ocratic state centraI committee from
this district. On the other hand Burke
IS in active opposition to the Taggart
factlon. An element of uncertainty in
the situation is the likelihood of B. F.
Shively of South Bend entering the field
at the last moment, and in that case
an effort may be made to stampede the
convention in his favor.
week ago Shively positively de-
clined to become a candidate but his
friends among the delegates insist that
he has reconsidered his decision and
will eventually permit his name to go
before the convention
Shively was the Democratic nominee
in 1886 and was defeated by Governor
Mount.
Shively has not yet arrived. but is ex-
pected this evening. There is talk
among the delegates of endorsing
Shively for the vice presidential nom
ination in case he refuses the guberna-
tOrial hOnOrs.
Much interest in the convention CEN
ters in the battle for national commit
teeman. Judge Shanklin, the present
incumbent, is seriously i'll at his home
in Evansville, but his candidacy is be-
ing pushed by his friends. Opposed to
! him is Mayor Taggart. There is ap-
parently among the delegates no senti-
/ ment against Bryan and it is probable
that he will be endorsed for the nom
| ination for president Vice Chairman
johnson and Secretary Walsh of the
Democratic national committee are ex-
/ pected from Chicago tonight
A platform has not yet been agreed
| upon. An element of discord is the
monetary plank. One faction insists
1 on a straight reaffirmatiOn of the Chi
cago platform, while another desires to
4 keep the 16 to l issue in the back ground
and fight the campaign battle on a
platform largely devoted to trusts, i'm
perialism and the Cuban postoffice
scandals. It is believed by the leaders
/ that this point will be settled in the
committee room and the platform will
be ready for presentation when the
convention opens tomorrow.
The convention win be called to or
der tomorrow morning by Parks NJ

committee and while no temporary
chairman seems to have been chosen as

men were arrested it is said they were
graduating their subscribers at the
rate OF a dozen each day
The complaint on which the warrants
We're issued was sworn to by Joseph De
Barthe, Of Baker City. Ore, who was
formerly connected with the institution
as an agent for selling diplomas and is
listed in the college prospectus as pro
fessor of medical jurisprudence" He
says he paid SIS for a degree issued by
the Independent Medical college August
80, 1888, and thought his authority to
practice medicine was valid until he
was refused certificates in several
states. He says he never allowed his
name to appear on the faculty list,
though he occasionally transacted the
law business of the institution. Inspec-
tor Gould induced friend to write to
the Metropolitan college for informa-
ton. The institution offered to give a
full course in medicine and a degree for
smaller amounts
Inspector Gould has a bunch of IN
signed certificates of practice for the
state of Texas and he says the name of
the district clerk is forged to these for
an extra compensation. Texas is said
to have been the most fertile field for
the graduates of the institution. The
British consul has made repeated efforts
to run the Metropolitan faculty out Of
business as Great Britain is said to
have been flooded with their diplomas.
It is said that dozens of "graduates''- of
DIR. Armstrong's institutions are prac-
ticing in India and in all parts of the
world. The diplomas bear the names of
the whole faculty, but two girls declar-
ed they were employed to write these
on all degrees issued by the college.

out material disturbance of the present
military organization.
General Corbin says it is proposed
to maintain an army of 40 900 regulars
in the Philippines SO long as required,
and tO-do this it viii be necessary to
draw upon the troops now in Cuba
The army in the Philippines at present
numbers about g., 600 men, equally di-
vided between regulars and volunteers.
All the volunteers are to be brought
home and mustered out at the place
of enlistment June 80, next year, and
in order to accomplish this with GER
tainty and with the least embarraSS-
ment the homeward movement will be-
gin early in the coming November As
was the case with the volunteers for
the Spanish war, they will be brought
home so far as possible in the order
Of their departure from the United
States
In order that there may be no i'm
mediate reduction of force under Gen
eral Macarthur it has been arranged to
send regular troops to the Philippines
as rapidly as possible to take the places
of the departing volunteers. Orders
have been issued for the assembling Of
the Sixth cavalry at San Francisco for
transport to Manila One detachment
of that regiment will leave about the
18th instant. and another about the first
of July. It is believed that many of
the troops in Cuba can be relieved from
duty in that country soon after the
elections there on the 18th instant. In
case the conditions justify it these
troops will be brought home and as
signed to home stations in order that
the home garIisOns may be utilized in
recruiting the army in the Philippines.
General Corbin says it is incorrect to
stare that the time of the volunteer
army is to be extended or that rein
forCements are to be sent to the Phil
| ippines, the fact being simply that the
| volunteers are to be brought home for
| disarmament and enough regulars sent
/ there to take their places to give Gen
| eraI Macarthur 10000 men to assist in
/ maintaining the supremacy of the
! United States and to carry out the
/ plans for civil government determined
unon by the Taft commission.
