Preparing for Emergencies.
No rush orders for heavy artillery to be
sent to the orient have been placed with

contingency as now presents itself IN emma,
and stands in readiness, according to the
officials. to arm 100000 men. Report has 1t
that ten and twelve-inch guns have been
ordered for use in China, but the depart
ment officials ridicule the suggestion. and
state that in the event of dispatching art1l-
lery to the east nothing larger than i've
inch siege gun would be sent. 1t has also
been stated that the ordnance department
has placed additional orders for large guam
titles of steel and cast-iron shell. The Of
fcials declare that nothing beyond the
regular supply provided for In the appro-
priation bills is contemplated. They are
perfectly able to cope with any situation
that may arise in the east. and there is no
necessity for further replenishment.

POPUL1sTs ALSO PRESENT

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June @.-The great
est activity manifested in the vice presiden-
tial canvass before the convention IS shown
by the managers of Charles A. Towne.
Gen. E. S. Corser of Minnesota, who is now
here, is making arrangements for the sill
yer republican convention. and at the same
time is doing all he can to make Towne
nomination possible 1t is the present in
tention to have an early conference De-
tween the committees of the populist party
and the silver republican party and the
democratic national committee. with view
of securing some kind of an arrangement
for furthering Towne's candidacy. 1t Is quite
proba BILE. however. that the democratic ma
ticnal committee will refuse to take any re-
SponSibility in the matter, on the ground
that it is a subject for the convention and
not the committee to consider
Similar Effort Recalled.
The desire of the populists and silver re-
publicans to secure the nomination of
Towne recalls a similar proceeding at the
populist convention in St. Louis in 1896 1t
was known that Bryan was to be noml-
mated by the populists for President, having
already been named by the democrats ana
there was a strong effort made to nave
Sewall, the vice presidential candidate, also
nc minated.
Such leading democrats Senator Jones,
chairman of the national committee and
William Stone. also a member of the com
mittee from Missouri. We're on hand. using
every effort to bring about the nomination
of Sewall, but they We're UNSUCCESSFUL
Now the populists, aided by the silver re-
publicans are endeavoring to have their
candidate for Vice President nominated by
the democrats.
1t is argued that Towne's name would
serve to emphasize the silver issue in the
campaign. just at a time when there Is
disposition in some quarters to leave the
Endorsement of silver to the reaffirmation
OF the Chicago platform.
Some Favor an Eastern Man.
Upon the other hand, in trying to con-
ciliate the eastern democrats on the money
question it has been suggested that some
eastern man whose silver views are not so
radical should be selected. even if Mr..
Towne should be pressed by the populists
and silver republicans. who are democratic
allies. Mr.. Towne will arrive tomorrow
and confer with the democratic leaders, who
are expected about the same time

Senator Bacon Was Not Ill.

Senator Bacon of Georgia arrived in
Washington last night. He is much an
noyed at the story recently sent out from
Macon, Ca, to the effect that he had been
poisoned and made desperately ill by eating
toadst ools, mistaking them for mushrooms.
He says the report was entirely without
foundation. and he is at loss to under
stand how it originated, as he was not IN
Macon at the time indicated. The senator
not only was not ill then, but has been in
perfect health since. In fact, with the ex-
ception of an accident which happened to
him in Washington last winter, he has not
been ill from any cause for years.
