DEWEY
Was Brought ont to SIdetra k
Bryan.

NEW YORK, APRIL 5.-The Herald
says: Briefly stated, this IFS the story
of the Dewey canasdacy as given TO
the Herald last night by a party lead
er. Who has successfully manipulated
state and even national conventions.
The scheme to nominate Admiral
Dewey at the Kansas Cicty conven-
ton was carefully planned at series
of conferences, held principally in this
city and in Washington.
Arthur p. German. acxnowiedgedly
one Of the most skillful political man
,agers in the democratic party, was
asked to take charge OF the movement.
Such conspicuous long time party
leaders as William c. Whitney. Dam
lei Lamont, Richard Olney, John r.
Mclean and Edward NJ. Sheppard
participated actively i'm the confer
ences. They canvassed the entire sit
uation. They proposed TO spring the
plan suddenly, not long before the as
sembling OF the democratic national
convention and ON the wave of en-
thustasm which Dewey's announce
ment was expected to create, calcu-
lated on. sweeping aside all abstacleE
and making Dewey the party candi-
date.
The exact wording of Admiral Dew
ey's statement was under discussion
for several weeks. II WAS pdepared
" Ah the utmost care, and draft OF
the statement was sent TO the admiral
while he was on his recent visit Ia
st. Augustine Fla
1t was pointed out last night tha'
democratic leaders OF the prominence
OF those mentioned would not have
consented TO the publication of Ad-
miral Deweys statement alt this time

perienced in political manipulation tC

QUEEN
Causes no Particular stir in
Dublin

DUBLIN, APRIL 6--3;15 a. m.-Queen
victoria's first day Of residence in Dub
lin was passed quiet uneventfully. Such
scenes as there were might well have
occurred In London. The official an
nouncement OF the formation OF the Irish
guards was not given out here and came
from London too late Tor the afternoon
papers.
Neither the Freeman's Journal she IN
dependent, nor the Irish Times comments
upon it this morning, but the Express
says it is great and kindly compliment
to land" and suggests that the guards
should be chief composed OF the rem
nants Of the Irish regiments which have
fought so valiantly in South Africa. The
same power deals editorially with the att
tempted ASSASSINATION OF the Prince OF
Wales ~ the following strain:
Nowhere has the attempt upon the life
OF the Prince OF Wales excited more un-
iversal profound horror and disgust, than
in the country gives his royal mother
whose cordiality LAS taken possession OF
the British brother"
The independent says:
Past experience would lead us to sx-
pect that nothing particularly adVantag-
eous TO Ireland will result from the visit
OF her majesty: but this imperialistic or
gan is right In indicating that British
Statesmen have no opportunity OF maxi lg
Irish sentiment a bulwark OF the empire.
II is an opportunity they have always
had, but they have never had the politi-
cal sagacity to realize It,"
The editorial goes on to say
"The best experiment the imperial gos-
ernment could make would be 10 grant
Ireland land her rights Until this il
done dozen queens visits every yeaI
would not make them otherwise"
It Is understood that he majesty receiv
ed the news OF the attempt at assasslna
tion with calmness and that, although
disturbed, she was not in the leasti asi
tated.

ercorn. and Rt Hon. Charles Owen O'Con

The illuminations were again the featUr
OF the town, attracting large brt oddl,

PITIFUL
Tale OF DestitutiOn Comes from
Porto Rico.

SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO. APRIL
5.-.Delegates representing the couatry
poor arrive at the palace almost daily.
They tell the usual story OF starvation
and want, and they ask for food and
work. Two important delegations have
put in an appearance this week. the lat-
est thing being from Aqua Buenos, con-
sisting OF one hundred men and ffty
women in procession. headed by two ten
year old girls carrying black ffags to
signify that they were mourning for OK
isting conditions.
Although the situation Is certainly very
bad, It is the opinion Of many in authori-
ty tnat in some instances the applicants
for relief are directed by political bosses
who hope to secure road work. For in
stance 5000 rauons have been ISSUED
weekly at Aguas 3uenos for the last
three months.
Further material relief will follow from
the recent granting OF road-making con-
tracts involving an outlay OF 100000, al
Enough lne authorities have not yet an
nounced how they propose to distribute
the appropriation.
