BRYAN TO FRAME IT.
Coming Democratic National
Convention,

LINCOLN, Neb., March 19-While
there may be a few family fights in the
Democratic and Populist conventions,
called for tonight to: elect delegates to
the Democratic national convention at
Kansas City-and the Popuist conven-
ton at Sioux Falls--they are not ex-
pected to have any influence upon the
final action of both gatherings, which
will be to select Bryan delegates and in
struct them to vote for him first, last
and all the time.
Governor Poynter declared that there
is no doubt whatever that the Populist
convention would send delegation to
Sioux Falls instructed for Bryan.
Much interest is manifested regarding
the platform to be adopted by the Demo-
cratic convention. 1t will be drawn up
under the personal supervision Of Mr..
Bryan, and is understood to be his dec
laration of the platform which, i'll his

At present 1t is not the intention of
the free silver Republicans to hold a
convention today, although 1T may be SO
determined later, The probability is,
however, that simply'a meeting will be
held and the candidaeyof Mr.. Bryan in
dorsed.
After the adjournment of the conven-
ton, Mr.. Bryan will deliver an address
in the auditorium. Preparations are
being made to render It a notable event
in view of the fortieth anniversary Of

LoURENzo MARQUES, March ia
dispatch from Mafelsing, dated Satur-
day, March 10, said:
1.-The garrison is holding it's own. We

not the case. We are pegging along pa
tiently on quarter rations, supplemented
by the occasional capture of cattle.

storiesare current that the Beers are in
tiicting naneless tortures upon captured
runners. These may not be true, but
they are tending to infame native pas
sions to such an extent that it may soon
be impossible to hold the natives in
check.
"Owing to the Beers having deliber-
ately bombarded the native stadt, which
is full of women and children, Colonel
Baden Powell has armed the natives,
but he has only allowed thom to act on
the defensive, although they have clam
ored to be allowed to go out and attack at

100000 MAY STRIKE
Machinists Threaten Interna-
national Struggle.
DUE TO CHICAGO LABOR TROUBLES.
Union Refused to Call OFF Strike in Windy
City and other Piaces-Otherwise Dif-
ferences Might Have Been Settled
Cleveland Men to BE Ordered Out First.

CHICAGO, March 19.-After the con.
ference between representatives of the
International Association of Machinists
and the administrative council of the
National Metal Trades association, Pres
ident James O'Connell, of the union,
declared that strikes would be called inn
mediately in all parts of the United
States and Canada. Such strikes wonld
involve 100000 men, and cause to be
shut down for an indefinite period,
plants having an aggregate capital OF
millions of dollars.
Chicago labor troubles are responsible
for the disagreement which is expected
to precipitate the general machinists'
strike. Were it not for the fact that
leaders of the mechinists' union refused
to call off the strikes that now exist in
Chicago, Columbus, Ohio, and Paterson,
N. j., the manufacturers and the lead
ers, it is believed, would have come to
an amicable agreement and arbitration
would have been permanently estab-
Gshed between the national metal trades
association and the International associa-
ton of machinists.
The members of the executive board
of the Machinists' union, however, re.
fused to call off the Chicago strike, as
they declar1 that IL they did the, Chicago
local would secede from the interna-
tiopal association. When the refusal of
the machinists to end the strike was
presented to the manufacturers, they
issued an ultimatum to the labor leaders,
and on their refusal to agree to it's pro-
visions, all negotiations were broken Off
Before leaving the rooms in which
the joint conference was held President
James O'Connell, Of the international
union declared that the union would be-
gin Immediately to call strikes in all
parts of the country. The first of these
strikes will be called in Cleveland, Ohio.
,\fter all the largo oities'have been tied
20, strikes will be called in the machine
shops of all the railroads in the country.

U. S. COURT MUST DECIDE.
Taylor Determined Not to Obey Ken
tucky Court Decision - -Emissarics
Started for Washington.

LOUISVILLE, March l9.-The two gov
ernors of Kentucky were entertained in
this city, and Messrs. Taylor and Beck
ham both insisted that they had come to
Louisville on purely business and that
their visits had no political significance.
Governor Taylor and his associates
among the Republican party leaders are
very close -mouthed as to the nature Of
the mission on which Surveyor of the
Port @. M. Barnett and Collector of In
ternal Revenue Sapple left for Washing
ton after their conference with Governor
Taylor.
The latter do not conceal their purpose
to hold onto their positions until the
United States supreme court has passed
upon the question of their right to hold
them. There has been some talk that
the Democratic officers may try te exer-
else their functions in earnest in case
they are upheld by the court Of appeals,
which they regard as the court Of last
resort in their cases, and it is believed
the Republicans wish to know the feel
ings of the national leaders Of their
party toward their policy.

SPEECHES ON QUAY CASE.
Some May BE Delivered this Week In
senate--Porto Ricon Bill Caucus
Scheduled.

WASHINGTON, March l9.-There is diff
ference of opinion as to whether under
the agreement to take up the Quay reso-
luton for consideration on the 3rd OF
April, it can be called up even for
speeches in the interim, In the senate
it is probable, however, that some adj
dresses may be presented on the subject
during the present week if no other mat.
tier presses for consideration. An effort
will be made by Senator Davis to get up
the Spanish claims bill.
In executive session there will be an
attempt made to secure the confirma-
ton Of Hon. w. ID. Bynum as appraiser
at New York, which attempt does not
promise to be Immediately successful
The Hay -Pauncefote treaty will be con-
sidered if opportunity presents, but the
present indications are against an early
move in that direction.
The caucus of the Porto Ricon COM
mittee will begin its sessions in earnest
today, and strenuous endeavor will be
made to get the bill in such shape as to
make it acceptable to practically all the
Republican senators at as earlya late as
possible. Senator Foraker is now en-
S"NN' III IhNiWiihS o'iiNiuihNhlS w tllt
government bill, and he will exert HIM
self to the utmost to perfect the bill
during the present week. If he sue
ceeds in getting bill which the Repub
licans will accept the measure will then
be pressed with all the speed and energy
possible,
1t now looks as though the week in
the senate would be spent largely in
waiting upon the Republican caucus
committee. The Porto Ricon govern.
mental bill will continue to hold its place
ON the senate calendar rs the unfinished
business, and some dilatory speeches
doubtless will be made upon it, but IL will
not be pressed as it would be If there was
hope of il passing soon, The Repubh
can senator's are opposed to present nc
tion ON the BILL and no effort will bs
made to arrive at final results until tbs

Bishop Potter Believes That Lpiscopa-

New YORK, March 19.--Bishop Henry
q. Potter formerly announced at the
morning service in Grace church that
the object of his recent journey to Homo
lulu and the Philippine islands was to
extend the influence of the American
Protestant Episcopal church in the new
possessions Of the United States govern
mopt. Hc said in part
"My observations convince me that
the Protestant Episcopal church should
be extended in both Hawaii and the
Philippines, and that it is now the clear
duty Of the English speaking people to
see that tho Christian religion is firmly
established among the inhabitants Of
these islands"
During his sermon the bishop took oc-
casion to give unqualified Endorsement
to the policy of President Mckinley in
the east, especially praising him for
sending ship of war to Taku, China,
for the purpose Of protecting the Ameri-
can missionaries in the province of Shan
Tung, whose lives are threatened by the
