CHICAGO, September 3.-By a trite

women in the speakers stand at Elec-

The Nebraskan had just fought his
way through the crowd and had taken
his place in front of the orators plat
form when the overcrowded floor of the
small stand creaked and began to
waver. A section of the floor gave way,
women shrieked in terror and men
tried to jump over the railing upon the
heads of the packed throng at the rear
of the stand.
Hello" laughed Mr.. Bryan, turning
a smiling face upon the scared people.
This can't be a Democratic platform,

II was found that few people had been
precipitated into the chamber under
the stand, but none were seriously in

Whole Neighborhood Turned Out to
Capture u Rad, Bold Thief.


HARRISBURG, September 3.-Fran-
els Frohm, alias Strohm, alias Jones,
known as shorty a desperate char
acter, was riddled with bullets by a
party of farmers, this morning, in the
vicinity of Elizabethville, Pa, and
killed instantly.
FrOhm and two companions known
as Frank Winiski and Whitley Streus-
ser, on Friday night shot man named
Strayer, at Elizabethville, while try
ing to rob his house.
The next morning Winiski was ar
rested at Elizabethville, and is now in
Jail. After the affair at Strayer's
house the three tried to rob other
houses and held up farmer who es-
capped from them.
F'rohm did not stop his depredations
after the three separated on Friday
night, but went to the vicinity of Ly-
kens, where he laid in hiding until
Saturday night when he smashed the
window of BresslerS store and made
off with a number of revolvers and
razors. This morning the entire neigh
borhood turned out TO hunt him, and
caught him. FrOhm was armed, and
drawing two revolvers he shot at his
pursuers who We're armed with guns
and rifles and revolvers. They return
ed the fire and literally riddled Frohm
with bullets. He fell to the ground
and died in half an hour. He was SO

SARATOGA. September S.-The
meeting Of the State Committee of the
Republican party brought forth no de-
velopment not already known. The
selection of a temporary chairman was
a mere formality, and in fact the SEES
sions of the convention tomorrow and
Wednesday Will be formal.
The almost forced consent of Mr..
Woodruff TO take the second place on
the ticket dispoSes of any contest for
the Office
The gavel will be welded and the
convention called TO order by the man
who later Will be named for Governor.
Hon. Benz. b. 0dell. Jr. as chairman
OF the State Committee to whom falls
the honor of first assembling the del
ecates.
In turn Mr.. Odell win transfer the
gavel TO Lieutenant Governor Timothy
L. Woodruff. who will act as temporary
chairman OF a convention that later
will honor him with a nomination for
the third time TO the Office OF Lieuten-
ant Governor. At the close of the con-
vention the Governor OF the State of
New York, a candidate on the national
ticket, Will open the campaign in New
York State with a speech
There is little interest about the cor
ridors tonight in the convention pro-
ceedings because every Republican here
understands the programme. There is
some little gossip tonight over tho
statement that ex-Goy. Black is TO
make the speech nominating Mr.. Odell
II was Mr. Black, who with the aid of
Mr. Payne. beat Mr.. Odell for the nom
ination Of Governor in 1895 and it
was Mr.. Roosevelt who beat Mr.. Black
for denomination In 1896. Mr.. Black
has not been a very close worker in
the party ranks for two years but the
three men, Black, Odell and Roosevelt,
will appear upon the same platform
tomorrow.
1t is an interesting announcement
made tonight that Mr.. Odell will not
retire from the Craftsmanship OF the
State Committee until after the cam
paign is closed. This is in fulhllment
of his pledge to Mr.. Hanna that no
would conduct the campaign.
The State League of Republican
clubs convened here this afternoon for
the election OF officers for the ensuing
year and the consideration of plans
for the campaign. The session was
presided over by Frederick Easton,
president. and about 100 delegates
were in attendance.
These officers were then selected for
th1 following year:

ident: Chas. A. Hess, OF New York.

WASHINGTON, September ga
dispatch from Minister Conger was re-
ceived by the State Department to-day.
1t was chiefly interesting in being the
first word from him since his dis
patch of about the 9th ultimo. refer
ring to the supposed parade of troops
through the imperial palace in Pekin
Like that dispatch, this is dateless as
to Pekin. The contents were not made
public, but it was stated that it con-
tanned nothing materially changing the
situation. The lack OF date led to a
determination to take energetic steps
by which all dispatches here after COM
ing to the State Department from China
will have the date clearly stated. Two
other dispatches received to-day from
China referred to the state of health
OF the troops, which generally is salts
factory.
1t cannot be learned that there has
been any marked advancement of the
negotiations between the powers
touching the withdrawal of the inter-
national force from Pekin. The plain
indication is that the powers are act
ing upon the hint conveyed in the last
note of the State Department, and are
bringing all their influence to bear up
on Russia to induce her TO change her
mind as to Withdrawing her troops.
For some reason the authorities here
appear to feel a growing confidence that
this effort will be successful. 1t is
noted as fact of great significance
that the proposition is being advocated
to have Prince Ching return TO Pekin
as the acting head of the Chinese gov
ernment. The suggestion is made that
the progress of this wave of reorgani-
cation while the international troops
are still in Pekin, promising, as it does,
speedily to provide an actual de facto
Chinese government with which the ma
lions may treat without further doubt
as to its strength, may solve the pres
ent problem and put the Chinese ques-
ton in a fair way to final settlement
Much may depend upon the attitude or
Russia in this matter, and the manner
in which she treats this appeal from
the Chinese notables may prove to be
test of the sincerity OF her expressed
desire to deal with the Chinese govern
ment as soon as possible.
DR.. Hill. First Assistant Secretary OF
State. returned to Washington to-day
and assumed the duties of acting head
of the State Department, relieving Mr..
Adee, who has performed these duties
during the perplexing diplomatic ex-
changes of recent date. DR.. Hill mad
been absent in New England on va
cation but in view of the important
diplomatic phases Of the Chinese ques-
lions which have arisen decided 10 cur
tail his stay and may take up the work
here. So on arriving, he went TO the
White House and spent a half hour
with the President, going over the
present status of the Chinese negotla-
tions. Later he conferred at length with
Mr.. Adee. From this time on, until
Mr.. Hay returns, DR.. Hill will zoe the
active head of the State Department.
The dispatch to-day from Perry, the
chief surgeon at Taku. makes II APP
parent that Whatever the conditions
NAV be on the land route between Taku
and Pekin. the Pei Ho river route, at
least is open and safe for the trans
portation of passengers.

NEW YORK, Sept Bin view of the
fact that there is no general parade to-
day of labor in this city, and that many
downtown business houses are closed,
there is unusual quietness, almost like
that of Sunday, in the principal thor
oughfares. Most of the trade organiza-
tons left the city by early trains and
boats for their outings, each having a
programme of its own. The exception
was the parade of the United House
smiths and Bridgemen's Union, which
had about two thousand men in line.
A Labor Day parade was held in Jer-
sey City under the a spices of the
United Building Trades Council of Hud-
son county. An incident of the parade
was the action of the Central Fedora
ted Union in refusing to march past
the grand stand. in front OF the city
hall, at Grove and Montgomery streets,
where the parade was reviewed by
Mayor Hoos and other officials
The Central Federated Union is COM
posed largely Of silk weavers and brew
cry employees large number of whom
are protested socialists and opponents
of both political parties. When they
were two blocks from the grand stand
the men of the Central Federated
Union fell out of line and made de-
tour, so as to avoid passing the stand.
