Delegates VIII Probably BE Whipped
Into Line by Bryan's Manager.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 3.-Late to-
night after quite a careful canvass of the
men selected for the committee on resolu-
tions, 1t was asserted that there was ma
jority against making specific declaration
against the 16-to-1 ratio. 1t was also
said that the majority, If such it
was also said that the majority, If such it
was. would not press the matter. owing to
the opposition of Senator Jones. The atti-
tude Of Mr.. Bryan is thought to be sufl-
cient for Senator Jones, who is a member
of the committee on resolutions and will
be In a position to exert great deal of in
fuence. Senator Jones. when he first ar
rived. thought reaffirmation of the Chi
cago platform will be sufficient.
Notwithstanding the known views of Mr.
Bryan, delegation after delegation has to-
day taken position in favor of reaffirma-
ton of the Chicago platform and against a
specific declaration, yet il does not seem
probable that the convention Will take any
other course than TO declare explicitly for
is to /. 1t was explained in one delegation
which voted for simple reaffirmation that
when it was shown that this course was
favored by the gold men and the word was
passed around that the proposition was
against Bryan the delegates would weaken
when the poll was taken and support 16

ment that the delegation will be a unit for
Danforth. 1t is not thought the delegates
will go into the convention hall pledged to
support any particular candidate. The
delegates, however, generally favor New
York man, believing that Indiana and New
York Will be the battle grounds OF the cam
paign.
There are now several hundred Hoosiers
in Kansas City. all wearing badges. and as
they all hover about the headquarters in
the Coates House they are cutting a pretty
wide swatb. Much interest is taken by
outsiders in every movement of the Indiana
delegation, and the local papers have paid
unusual attention to the State, in fact.
nearly all comment on State delegations
is divided between New York and Indiana.
While the so-called conservatives have been
victorious by combining force with strategy
and for the moment the lesser lights have
pocketed their grievances, Ii is a common
remark that the latter will unsheath long
sharp knives before the campaign Of 1900
has passed into history
Mr.. Morss said this evening that he would
go to the resolutions committee instructed
by the Indiana delegation TO insist upon the
incorporation of the Indiana money plank
in the national platform or plank of SINH
lar wording. He will consult the delegation
before signing a minority report if the ma
jority report is not in line with his instruc-
tions.
Detectives Asch and Dugan, of Indianap-
oils, are conspicuous about the Coates
House.

BRYAN WILL ATTEND.
Scheme to Nominate Him for Presf-
dent This Evening.

KANSAS CITY, July 3.-Unless plans per-
attend the Democratic national convention
after his nomination If he is put In the field
early enough TO render IL practicable for
him TO do so. A formal invitation has been
extended to him. and he has said that he
would accept This was brought out in the
afternoon meeting of the national commit
tee. as was also the intention OF the na-
tional committee TO have the nomination
for the presidency made tomorrow if pos
sible. The desire of the members TO ac-
sion brought 10 the surface by an invita-
ton to the committee from the citizen of
Kansas City TO take tallyho ride to-mor-
row evening. This invitation was extended
by Ex-Governor Stone. OF Missouri When
Il was presented Mr.. Clayton opposed its
acceptance. saying that there was a WELL
defined and general wish that Mr.. Bryan
should be placed in nomination on the
Fourth OF July. making a fitting Demo-
cratic celebration of the national anniver-
sary. Senator Kenny spoke In the same
strain. and Senator Jones descended from
the platform to support the proposition. All
agreed that such a nomination would add
spirit TO the occasion and give the ticket
a send off such as il would not otherwise
receive. The members of the committee
generally supported the proposition. and as

RUSH OF GERMAN ORDERS.
Chicago Packers Obliged to Call for
More Federal Inspectors.

CHICAGO, July 3.-A heavy increase in
the force of government inspectors at the
stockyards has been made necessary by a
rush of orders in anticipation of the en-
forcement, beginning Oct. 5. of the new
German meat regulations. which are ex-
pected to restrict the sale and use of Amer
lean meat and canned goods in the German
empire. Chicago packers are receiving each
day orders from Germany for 1O0,O00 pounds
of sausage and canned goods. and in order
TO get this increased amount of their
product inspected by the government they
asked DR.. o. Z. Dyson, chief of the gov
ernment bureau of animal industry, TO put
on twenty-five more microscopists. which
was done. This makes the force of micro
scopists now employed here one hundred
and enables the government officers TO pass
on 1000 carcasses day. Not only is there
a heavy demand for sausage and canned
goods from Germany. but from France and
England as well

PARKS MARTINS FAKE.
He Planned to Send Alleged Silver
Republicans to the Kaw

Special to the indianapolis Journal
ANDERSON, Ind, July 3.-The Anderson
Herald to-day prints an expose of a plan
or the silver Democrats of the State to
make an apparent showing Of a serious
Republican split on the silver issue. The
Herald's story follows:
Fred Lawrence the well-known glass
cutter, is not delegate to the Kansas City
convention. which will convene to-mor-
row. and Bart Campbell knows why. Fred
was thrown sop. but there is a little too
much self-respect about him to do some
things that Campbell and his kind may
want him to do.
Several days ago Fred received from
Parks Martin the credentials of delegate
10 Kansas CITY An explanatory note along
with the card said there would be l60 dele
gates in the convention representing the
Silver Republicans of the country. and
two OF these had been apportioned to Indi-
ana. Fred had been recommended to him
for one of the places.
Fred is a dyed-in-t the wool Democrat and
always has been. He supposed there must
be some mistake about sending him such
credentials, for he had never been Repub-
lican and. moreover. didn't care a whoop
for silver. He born Democrat He
reckoned that most people ought TO have
known this, and why he should be put
down as a Silver Republican was past
him.
Fred went TO Bart Campbell. The latter
confessed he had authorized Martin to send
Fred the delegates ticket. He added that
the Silver Republican business was all
fake. as he ought TO know. They were GO
ing to have 160 fellows there that would
pose as Silver Republicans. but IF you
look squarely every mothers son of them
will be an old-line Democrat"
Fred became indignant at this kind of
work. He told Campbell he was a Demo-
crat, and that he didn't propose to pose as
anything else, no matter what the politi-
cal point might be. He was not going TO be
party TO any fake games. He was not
going TO degrade himself I'm his own eyes
and in the eyes OF the public by pretending
TO be what he is not. In a few words he
gave Bart few points on ethics that Bart
had not learned before and the two parted
enemies.
An aspiring and hopeful young ring ter
heard OF Fred's credentials and OF the fact
that he had conscience and thought ne
might go as ''Silver Republican himself
When he approached Fred about IL the lat
ter looked at him in scorn and told the fell
low very plainly he was not going 10 be
partysto any such business. He has the cre-
dentials yet IL he has not torn them up.

Great Victory Without Opposition.
Gen. Butler makes it clear that the
Boers decided to raise the siege of the
town immediately they learned that Gen.
Cronje was at the mercy Of Gen. Roberts
at Paardeberg. The British advance in
Natal was then only opposed in order to
allow time for the big guns and ammuni-
ton and stores to be safely removed
north and west. That the, Beers We're
not completely successful in carrying out
this intention was owing to the fact that
they were more or less demoralized by
Gen. Buffers victorious attack on Tues
day. After the battle orders were evil
IDENTIFY given for hasty retreat to the
passes. with the result that large quanti-
ties Of ammunition and two guns were
left behind. Virtually speaking, Natal
is now clear of the Republican forces.
Great Waste of Ammunition.
1t is estimated that during the invest
ment of Ladysmith about $4,000 shells
were thrown into the town, an average
of three tons of explosives daily. Yet we
had only thirty-tiye men killed and lSS
wounded. Our largest losses were from
disease.
From Bloc nv fontein to Pretoria.
today says: THE war now enters a new
phase-that of British attack upon the
BOer power for the purpose of destroying
it and of bringing about the submission
of the Boer states and of the acQulescence
of their populations in their submission.
The invading army intending to fight the
enemy wherever and whenever he can be
met, has only to march by the most con-
yenient route toward the center of the
enemy's resources. The defending army
must either come to meet the invader,
replying to attack by attack, or must
seek a defensive position in which to pre-
vent the advance of the invader
Mr. Wilkinson thinks the simplest line
of advance is to Bloemfontein and thence
along the railroad to Pretoria. He says:
THE Beers are abandoning all minor en-
terprses in order to concentrate. 1t is
doubtful whether Gen. Buffers force will
be able TO do much toward entering the
enemy's territory from Natal. Hence we
may infer that a considerable portion of
his force will be transferred to the west
ern theater of war. Lord Roberts can
if he thinks necessary, have ere April 1

QUESTION OF MEDIATION.

Paris, March 3.-M Valfrey, Figaro's

the South African war and the question
of mediation. He says: 1.-The denoue-
ment cannot be doubted. England will

BRIBERY RAMPANT.
New York Comptroller Makes SEN
sational Attack on Office of
Corporation Counsel.

New York, March 3. --Comptroller Coler
today attacked the office of the corpora
ton counsel in way that is likely to
create d storm. He charges wholesale
robbery and does not hesitate to say that
bribery is rampant among the city office
holders, who, he AYERS, seem to have
made the trade Of theft respectable and
thereby avoid the fate of the late Will
liam NJ. Tweed.
Robbery of the city Of New York is
now perfectly legalized," he began. Il
prepared and sent to Albany q bill that
would save the city from wholesale theft,
bill providing that the persons selling
supplies to the city departments shall not
charge more than market prices. The Of
hce of the city whose duty it is to defend
suits went to Albany to defend a bill
providing that those selling goods to the
city would not have to prove that they
were overcharging for them.
Fraud Not Proved.
My bill would stop legalized robbery
When | have held up bills and claims be-
cause the prices charged were above the
market price, the corporation counsel CON
fessed Judgment on the ground that the
city had no defense as fraud had not
been proven. When my bill to stop legal
lZed robbery is introduced the corporation
counsel furries to Albany to defeat it.
The city has been robbed outra-
geOusiy in the purchase of supplies.
There is concerted movement
on the part of certain departments to
defeat the finance department from pro-
tectlng the city treasury. In some cases
large reductions were made on bills be-
cause they were fraudulent and the
prices charged were more than double the
market value, yet if these cases had been
taken to court the corporation counsel
would not defend them because fraud
or there is no defense
How the City Loses Money.
''To prove fraud and actual bribery is
Il difficult matter. | cannot go into dark
rooms and see the money passed. In one
case safes were purchased by the city for
$500 The mayor of Mount Vernon ad-
vertised for bids for the same kind Of
safes and got them for $301 In another
case carpets were bought at auction for
S1.2o a yard that could be bought for
SS cents. Tweed did not know how to
steal in a respectable manner and
went to jail in consequence. Legalized
robbery of the city is now respectable
Things are worse than in Tweeds time
Thousands of persons are subsidized by
the city through the purchase of sup
plies in lots that cost less than $1,000
The patronage taken away by the civil
service is distributed in that way.
My bill would stop all this robbery and
bribery and theft but the corporation
counsel in his official capacity goes to AL
bany and uses his influence to defeat the
bill. The people can Judge for them
selves"
