Leading Candidates for the Guberna-
toriaI Nomination Evenly
Matched in
BLISS, sTEARNs AND FERRY
HAVE EACH NEARLY THE SAME NUM-
Der OF VOTES.
Points from the Platform Which Will
Be Presented To-Day-RoOse-
Welt to Speak in Indiana.

GRAND RAPIDS. June 27.-The Repub-
lican state convention tonight adjourned
until morning after ten f%ruitless ballots for
Governor. The three leading candidates,
Aaron t. Bliss. of Saginaw, Justus s.
Stearns. of Ludington. and Dexter M. Fer
~, of Detroit, were so evenly matched in
the number of their votes that the conven-
ton found itself at a deadlock and wearied
with balloting gave up the struggle until
tomorrow. Owing TO the number of ian
didates for minor offices 1t is not probable
that the convention can finish its work to-
morrow evening IL the gubernatorial dead
lock is broken.
The report of the resolutions committee
is the last thing on the programme. but the
platform was completed this evening and is
ready for presentation. 1t commends the
administration of President Mckinley; in
dorses the currency bill passed by Con-
gress and the platform of the Philadelphia
convention; declares relieved allegiance to
the gold standard. and expresses sympathy
with the people of the South African re-
publics. hoping that peace may be speedily
secured. Upon the question of trusts the
platform says: I'VE place our stamp Of
~disapproval upon all combinations of cap
ital tending to restrict competition I'm bust
ness, to create monopolies. to limit produc-
ton or to control prices. and we favor leg
islation to that end"
The text of the Boer plank follows: w
~sympathize with the people of the South
African republics in their struggle for lib
erty and independence, and we commend
President Mckinley for promptly rendering
the friendly offices of this government, fol-
lowing the established precedent of nom
interference In foreign affairs. but must
maintain a position of strict neutrality.
nevertheless. We earnestly hope that hon
orable peace may be speedily secured"

Peel Lectured at the Old Bailey.

LONDON, June 2.-Sir Robert Peel,
faultlessly attired in a frock coat and
carrying a silk hat in his hand. stood
in the dock at the Old Bailey to-day on
the charge of criminally libeling his broth
er-in-law, Mr.. Won Der Heydt. in connec-
ton with his trusteeship of the Peel es-
tate. Sir Robert withdrew all the defama-
tory statement and apologized for calling
his brother a b~lackmailer, and the court,
after lecturing the baronet and expressing
the hope that the fact that the bearer of
the great historic name of Sir Robert Peel
had stood in a dock, would prove sufficient
punishment, bound the defendant over to
come up for sentence If called upon.

Saturday was On the river this afternoon.
and the result is that the wiseacres who
saw them row are ready to predict the win
ner of each event. OF the result in the
four-oared crews there is a consensus Of
opinion that the Pennsylvania crew will
win. In the freshmen eight 1T is believed the
race will be between Cornell and Wiscon-

were far apart and the predictions of win

arrival of the Georgetown crew this after
noon complicated the task of the winner
pickers, for they are a brawny lot Of
youngsters and made a good showing at
practice. Looking all the varsity crews
over that were out this afternoon 1t would
take an exceedingly clever person to pick
the winner.

oath of allegiance to the government and
renouncing all forms Of revolution in the
