silver conventions have done nothing to-

conference to arrange the terms of fu-
sion, and nothing else can be done until
this is finished, except 10 adopt resolu-

will adopt a platform this afternoon
The three conventions spent all day

on the question of nomination of United
States senator. They finally referred the
matter TO their respective conventions.

should be no apportionment OF offices until
II was decided that a senator should be
nominated and that the Office should be
apportioned In the division Of Offices. The
Populsts and Silver Republicans at once
passed resolutions favoring the nomina-

the Democratic convention at S o'clock
this evening and was debated.
The project to nominate n senator was
defeated by a vote of l25 to t2i. This dis
poses of Dubois chances, according to the
opinion of political leaders.

ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE
FOUND ANDREE'S BODY.
Hudson bay Indians Report Finding
of Non-Engiish-spea Man
and Balloon wreckage.

CHICAGO. July ia special from
Fort William. Ont. TO the Times Herald
says: Indians hunting on the east coast
of Hudson Bay have brought word 10 the
Hudson Bay Company's post on the west
coast of James bay that they found last
spring a vast quantity of wreckage, the
bodies Of two men, and a man in the
last stages OF the death struggle The
Indians reported that they could not un-
derstand the language he spoke, but that
1t was not English. lie died while they
were there. and they returned 10 the
trading post without bringing any evi-
dence of the strange occurrence.
1t is believed by the officials Of the
Hudson Bay Company that the Indians
witnessed the ending of Andree's at
tempt 10 reach the north pole by balloon.
They had never seen a balloon. but from
their description of the wreckase, the
officials are firmly convinced that II was
the remnants OF Andree's airship. A
party. guided by the same Indians. has
been sent out to bring evidence to estab-
lish the identity of the party.
Early last fall, people near Moose fac
tory asserted they saw a large balloon
passing over 10 the northward. and this
tends TO confirm the story OF the Indian
hunters.
