ocratic national committee, left here
last night for Kansas City. 1t is
learned upon high authority that Mr..
Jones will be Mr.. Bryan's choice for

clined to talk for publication ycster-
day regarding the latter subject. He
stated to the Associated press repre-
sentative, however, that his relations
with Mr.. Bryan are entirely harmoni-
GUS and that there has never been
jar between them. He declined to
give any expression concerning the
vice presidential nomination other
than to say: II have 10 douht TIE

coed deliberately and that whatever
action it takes will be based uoon
the soundest Judgment CT the ahlest
men in the body
Asked what city would probably be
selected for the campaign headquar-
tiers, Senator Jones said the campaign
would likely be conducted from Chi.

TIE BOYCOTT AT ST. LOUIS.



s.. Louis, June 2S.-Eycept for the
boycott; and 300 extra policemen on
duty. but little remains to tell OF the
great strike on the st. Louis Transit
company's system inaugurated May S..
Cars are in operation on all the lines
! without hindrance and are well pa
! tronized, except on those running
north and south.
1t was reported yesterday that eff
forts were making to induce st. Louis
manufacturing firms to close their
establishments and suspend opera
tions until the boycott on the st.
Louis Transit company and those
who ride on its lines was declared
off. II was said that a representa-
tive manufacturer had been APP
preached by committee of citizens
and asked to make canvass of the
manufacturers OF the city for the
purpose of ascertaining whether or
not the suggestion met with their
favor. The manufacturer approached
is said to have declined to make the
canvass desired. stating that while it
was undoubtedly true that the boy
colt was working great hardships on
both employer and employe and in
many cases firms had unjustly been
placed under its ban, instead of i'm
proving the situation he thought it
would be made much worse by gen
elal shut down, which would not only
entail great loss on the manufacture
ers, but would in addition impose UNI
told hardships on the laboring peo-
pie generally and would completely
paralyze the industries of st. Louis,
The tilobe-Democrat says to-day:
"The large employers of labor in st.
Louis TO the number of 100 or more
Lave organized the Law and Order
club Of st. Louis and propose to give
battle to the boycott. Several meet
ings have been held, and it is said
that complete organization has been
perfected for the good of the commu-
nifty. While the gentlemen who are
credited with being active in the or
ganization admitted nothing, denied
nothing, enough was learned TO show
that the boycott is to be fought with
its own fire, and fought in manner
that would leave no doubt as to the
thoroughness Of the organization and
the earnestness Of their intentions.

Kansas City, NO., July 2.-The
United States Monetary league is 10

at ten o'clock this morning. An invi-
tation has been sent to Mr.. Bryan to
address the league, but he replied
that be could not do so, as it was not
his intention to visit Kansas City this
week. II is understood that he said
in his letter that he would hold to
the is to 1 proposition. 1t is given
out officially that the league will take
no action, the session to be devoted en-
tirely 10 speech making. 1t is prob
able, however, that the members OF
the league expect to have some in
fuence in the making lip of the none
tary plank of the platform of the ma
tional convention. The meeting will
be called to order by Hon. Charles l..
Thompson, of Denver, the president
of the league, and will then be turned
over to Judge John W. Henry, pres

resolution expressing the views of the
league tor the guidance of the COM
mittee on resolutions of the demo-
cratic convention.

INSURGENTS TAKING OATH.
Nine Leading FIlipinOs swear Allegiance
to the Government and RenOunce the
Revolution In the Philippines.

Manila, June 2S.--Nine of the in-
surgent leaders, including Gen. Pho
Del Pillar, Conception, Garcia and AL
varez, were released here yesterday
upon the oath of allegiance to the
government and renouncing all forms
of revolution in the Philippines, to-
gether with making formal acknowl-
edgment of American sovereignty.
This oath is much stronger and more
binding than the oath which Gen.
Otis administered and was conse-
quently distasteful to the Filipinos
who accepted 1t with bad grace, fully
realizing the results of any violation.
Senior Buencamino took the oath
Monday. 1t is hoped that the sparing
of the nine leaders will influence
their men to take advantage of the
amnesty, which has thus far been
without results other than those OF
yesterday.

The grounds of the Washington Jockey
Club at Benning are being got into fine
condition for the spring meeting, which
begins on April 2 and opens the season on
the Eastern circuit. Already over 100
horses have reached the course and are
comfortably stabbed, while another hun
dred, including the stables of W. C. DAILY,
Frank Regain, and many others, are ex-
pected from New Orleans within a few
days.
The splendid weather yesterday attract
ed many lovers of racing to the track,
where the horses were given strong exer-
else gallops and fast moves. The course
is in as good condition as it was last au-
tumn and some good sport is promised.
Great interest in the two-year olds
which will make great history in 1900 is
being manifested. and may surprises are
promised at the coming meeting, when
material for Aqueduct, Brooklyn, Morris
Park, and Sheepshead Bay will be discov-
cred.
There were several strings given useful
work yesterday, among the most promi
nent being that of W. p. Burch who had
and knight of Rhodes. 1t is, perhaps, safe
TO say that Redpath is one of the best
maiden three-year oids in the country and
in him Mr.. Burch has stake horse. He is
beautiful bright chestnut, grand locker,
and moves like piece of fine machinery.
OF the two year-old division the most ad-
vanced is the stable OF Cahll & Ander-
son. In this bunch there are eleven two
year olds, all finely bred and all good
lockers. Among them is a very smart FLY,
a full sister to the race mare Loving Cup.
As they worked yesterday one could not
help but admire three youngsters in par
ticular OF this string. Callear, chestnut
colt, by Carlsbad Loire; Councilman Tom,
chestnut colt, by Ben Strome- Cratic,
and Johnnie Brown, a brown colt. by
Loantaka-Se Foam These are grand look
ers, are as big as three-year olds, and
without doubt will prove good bread win
ners. In this stable is also Bannock. now
siX-year- old-a game race horse. AS he
galloped yesterday he looked and showed
up in better form than at any time in two
years, and at a mile or over he will be a
hard horse 10 beat. While the firm OF
Cahill & Anderson is new in the racing
world and their colors-of white with blue
sash and cap-are seen here for the first
time this season, the senior member of tho
firm. John E. Cahill, is well and favorably |
known on all the Eastern tracks as a |
genuine sportsman and an excellent judge |
Of the thoroughbred.
Another string shown on the track yes
erday was that OF Mr.. Tompkins OF this |
