CIRCUS IS IN. TOWN.
Combined Shows of Forepaugh
and Sells Brothers Here
Today.
PARADE A PRETTY SPECTACLE.
Big Crowds Flock to the Tented
City..Two Perform
ances.

For the first time since the memory
of man runneth not to the contrary
the Adam Forepaugh and Sells Broth
ers' circus is in Rock Island.
1t arrived in four sections over the
L. /. & P from Peoria, and pitched
tents on Twelfth street south of Ninth
avenue. And it is a great show.
There is no discount on press indorse-
ment this time. 1t is hundred cents
on the dollar and no per cent off for
cash. The parade showed this. and
thousands witnessed it for them
selves.
The parade was not sensational.
That is not the point. 1t was simply
solid display OF the best there is to
be had for circus purposes. 1t re-
flected the performances, and that is
precisely what the public wants. The
circus was in Bloomington Monday,
and even that fire-swept city found
time to knock off work and go to see
it. Despite the fact that high wind
made heavy handicap. the people
there were enthusiastic, and the
Bloomington Bulletin speaks of it as
the greatest of its kind on earth.
Out at the grounds in this city to-
day there is great outpouring OF
people. and many amusing incidents.
The people were delighted. The
exhibition at the big tent this after
noon could not have been better.
All of the specialties are excellent
The display of fine horses excelled any
seen here in years. Perhaps no circus
aggregation has given so uuiveral
satisfaction as did Forepaugh and
Sells today.
As stated before, everything an-
nounced was seen. The promises
made to the public were kept. All
pledges were respected. This makes
a circus company or any other com-
pany or being popular with the people,
and Forepaugh-Sells show is assured
of a cordial welcome whenever it
comes this way.
To the circus man the sightseers
who infest the grounds on the day of
arrival are nothing more or less than
an accumulation of animated interro-
CATION points. engaged in a fruitless
effort to fathom the unfathomable by
gathering information as to details.

CROKER HOME FROM EUROPE.

Discusses the Ice Trust and the Coming
--r Campaign. ....
. NEW YORK, June 25.-Richard Croker
has arrived from England on board the
steamer Lucania. He says that he is
ready to take very active part in the
coming national campaign. Mr.. Croker
acknowledged having owned American
Ice company stock, but said it was
bought before the company became q
trust, and would not say if he was now
a stakeholder. As to the request made
to Governor Roosevelt to remove Mayor
Van Wyck for his ownership of Ice
stock. Mr.. Croker said: .t.- :
"The governor has the power to do
so if the mayoris guilty, but all men
must be considered innocent until they
are convicted of wrong-doing.
""What do you consider as guilt?'' he
was asked. @s7 --~. ..%s@ =.
swell, in case the mayor used his Of
fee to get possession Of the shares of
stock, Or to increase the price of ice;
that would be, if proven, cause for his
removal, was the reply. q
Upon matters pertaining to the ma
>tional campaign, Mr.. Croker said that
with Roosevelt as McKinley's running
mate, 1--WE should have San Juan hill
all over again" He said that he was
going to Kansas City and that he had
to thank the New York newspapers for
making him delegate.

Likely to He the Prohibitions Candidate
1H For President. .s,.r.s ..-.-+.
CHICAGO, June 26.-Sentiment among
the delegates to the Prohibition national
convention who are here apparently
favor tho nomination for president of
John G. Wooley of Chicago. The fight
this year, it was stated, would be made
on straight Prohibition platform, even
perhaps to the exclusion of all other
national questions. Mr.. Wooley is the
chief advocate of this plan Of campaign
and would not care to be nominated on
a broader platform, taking in the tariff,
expansion, money and other planks.
For this reason, according to Chairman
Stuart Of the national convention and
other Prohibition leaders, he is consid-
cred the most logical candidate for the
presidency. Hale johnson of Newton,
Ills, and DR.. s. w. Swallow of Penn
sylvania have many friends, however,
and brisk contest is expected before a
nomination is made.
The nomination for the vice presi.
dency, probably will be governed to a
great extent by the balloting for presi-
dent. Should Western candidate for
the presidency be selected the vice
presidential nomination, it is stated,
will probably go to an Eastern man.

plain evidence Of their deceptive policy

issues of the day and did not hesitate to
say so to Daily News reporter who

differences between himself and Chair.

in regard to an alleged clash between
himself and Mr.. Jones during Mr.. Bry.
ans visit to Chicago, previous to his
Northern Wisconsin trip, are fabrica-
tons pure and simple. ~
Touches on the Money Question.
Asked his opinion of the Phlladel-
phia platform, Colonel Bryan said:
"The Philadelphia platform is the
best evidence thus far given Of the de-
ception attempted by the Republican
party. Taken in connection with the
speeches made at the convention, it
shows that the Republican party's plat
form of 1896 was deliberate fraud as
far as the promises of international bi.
metalIism were concerned; that the
party's attitude on the trust question is
insincere, and that the party is not
willing to state its attitude on the Phil
ippine question and invite the judg-
ment of the people. Nothing was more
manifest in the convention than the
military spirit, and yet the convention
did not dare endorse the demand of the
president in 1898 for standing army
Of 130, Cos men."

Large Part of the American
Soldiers to Re withdrawn I
From the Island.
Action Will Be Taken as Soon
as Secretary Root Returns
to Washington.
Elections Have Passed Quietly
and Affairs Are Moving
Satisfactorily.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-As soon as
Secretary Root returns to this city early
next week final arrangements will be
made for the withdrawal Of as many
troops as can be spared from further
service in Cuba. According to reports
recently received from Governor Gen.
eral Wood the elections passed off
quietly and without serious disorder at
any point, and affairs generally have
become tranquil, with no indications of
future trouble. In consequence Of this
encouraging state of affairs, the officials
Of the war department are considering
the question of large reduction of the
military force in Cuba. 1t has been es.
timated that about half of the troops
can safely be brought home within the
next few months. Nothing will be set
tied as to which regiments shall come
until
After Secretary Root Returns
to the city. There is an impression,
however, that the Fifth infantry, sta
toned principally in the Department Of
Santiago, will be the first Cuban regi-
ment to return to the United States,
and that the Eighth infantry, stationed
in the same department, will follow
soon after. The return of these troops
to the United States will enable the
war department to carry out its plan of
sending regular troops from this coun-
try to the Philippines to take the places
of the volunteer army which must be
brought home and discharged by June
80, 1901. Unless developments in China
necessitate change of programme, the
homeward movement of the volunteer
oops FROM the Philippines will begin in
ne early fall, and about 5000 or 10000
regular troops will be sent out gradually
from this country to take their places.
