Meets and Selects Officers Prepara-
tory to Opening the Campaign.
WASHINGTON February 5.-The
newly organized Republican national
congressional committee held It's ini-
tial meeting to-day for the selection of
officers and adoption of general plans.
Representative Babcock, of Wisconsin,
was elected chairman for the third
time, with Representative Sherman, of
New York, as vice chairman. Repre-
sentative Overstreet, Of Indiana, was
elected secretary, and w. B. Thompson
treasurer. Mr.. Babcock was empower
ed to name the executive committee,
which was given power to carry on
the work in the absence of the full
committee. For purposes of general
conference, however, the full commit
tee will assemble once month during
the session of Congress.
A resolution was adopted requesting
that early conventions will be held in
the various districts in order that the
national committee may learn the
nominees and officers and bring about
a general cooperation.

BIG TRACT OF LAND.
Lying Near the Carnegie Plan
Bought by COunselIing Partners.

Lying Near the Carnegie Plant
Bought by Counselling Partners.
PITTSBURG, Pa, February s.
Henry Phipps. Jr., and John Walker,
consulting partners in the Carnegie
Steel Company, closed deal on Satur-
day last for 800 acres of land along
the Monongahela River front, adjoin-
ing the borough of Monongahela. The
title was made in Mr.. Phipps' name,
who is said to be acting for a new
corporation whose intention it is to
erect mammoth steel plant to cost
in the neighborhood of $4,000, 900.
While the two men principally inter-
ested in the deal are members of the
Carnegie company, it is generally con-
coded that the new works will be in
dependent of the big firm.
Nicola Bros. who are said to have
the contract to furnish the lumber to
be used in the new plant, say the
Union Steel Company is not interested
in the deal. although that company
has for some time past been negotiat-
ing for land in the same vicinity.

is a feeling abroad to-day that the
common people are not having their
share of the blessings of the govern
ment.
you were warned in 1896 that il the
Republican party candidate was elect
ed the monopolies would control the
industries. But the Republicans went
np and down the country shouting for
prosperity. The same people who con-
troll the smaller trusts are controlling
the money trust. The trust is the main
one to-day"
On the subject OF imperialism. Mr..
BRYAN declared that the only question
at issue to-day is whether this nation
shall stand on the declaration of in
dependence or get off it. That distinct
ly says that we cannot buy govern
ments with or without the consent of
their people. But the purchase Of a
people and their conquest by war are
against the declaration.
Mr.. Bryan left for North Adams at
five o'clock.

MACRUM IN WASHINGTON.

Called Mt the State Department Hut
Left No Word ms to why He Left
Pretoria-Gone Home to East Liv-
erpool.
WASHINGTON. February 5. Mr..
Macrum has come and gone and the
reason for his leaving Pretoria when
duty seemed to demand his presence at
the capital remains as deep mystery
as ever. and must so remain, probably
for another week. The ex-consul's
appearance was awaited at the State
Department with interest. Just be-
fore noon Representative Tayler, OF
whose congressional district Mr..
Macrum Is resident, called at the de-
partment and spent some time in con-
ference with Assistant Secretary Hill,
and was followed about half-past 8
O'Clock by Mr.. Macrum, who came
alone. Secretary Hay, who had an
exhausting day. had gone. SO the ex-
consul was obliged to pay his respects
to DR.. Hill. His stay was short, about
twenty minutes; and he left DR.. Hill
as much IN the dark as he had been
before as to Mr.. Macrum's motive for
leaving Pretoria. Nor did it develop
whether or not Mr.. Macrum was the
bearer of any message from Kruger.
He did not mention the subject to DIR.
Hill. He said he was tired, very tired;
he had been five weeks on the sea and
road travelling constantly and begged
for time in which to prepare himself
to report. He said nothing as to the
reasons for appearing in Washington,
but asked that he be permitted to go
to his home in East Liverpool, Ohio,
for a few days to attend to some mat
tiers of business, which were pressing,
and to rest.
DR.. Hill had no objection. Mr.. Mac
rum promised to be back soon here,
perhaps before the end of the present
week, and said he then would make
a formal report to the State Depart
ment. Leaving DR.. Hill, Mr.. Macrum
went to the consular bureau and Sc
cured the assent of Acting Chief Carr
to a postponement of the settlement
of his accounts until his next visit to
Washington. To Mr. Carr also Mr..
Macrum said nothing to throw light on
his motives.
AS he left the State Department he
assured the newspaper men who stop
ped him that if he had any statement
at all to make to the press (and he
was not sure that he would have) he
probably would make it public upon
his return to Washington.
Some of the persons here who were
familiar with his appearance when he
first went out to the Transvaal. said
that he looked very much broken and
lacked the vim that formerly charac-
terized him.
At 7:3O tonight he left here for his
home in Ohio.

GOV. GOEBEL's REMAINS
VIII BE Taken to COvington To-Day.
Will BE No Display.


FRANKFORT, KY, February g.
The train bearing the remains Of the
late Governor Goebel will leave Frank
fort at about o'clock in the morning,
and is expected to arrive in Covington
in three hours. 1t had been the orig
ina intention of Senator McCord, who
is in charge of the arrangements, that
it should leave Frankfort this evening,
but it was found necessary owing to
the delay caused by the post norton
examination to alter the plans. At
once after reaching Covington they
will be taken to Odd Fellows hall,
where they will lie in State all day.
There will be nobody on the train
with the exception Of active and hon
orary pall-bearers, who in themselves
constitute a formidable guard of hon
or, and few intimate friends, among
whom Mrs. C. C. McChord, wife of SEN
ator McChord, who so devotedly nursed
the wounded man for days after he
was shot. Arthur and Justus Goebel
and Mrs. Braunaker, brothers and sis
ter Of the dead man, will be on the
train. There will be no attempt at
display and nothing will be attempted
in the way of decorating the train.
EverStEfn gl will be done in the most
simple manner possible.
The great masses of flowers that
have been brought to the hotel
throughout the day are almost in them
selves sufficient to fill a car. There
are over one hundred pieces, many be-
ing of great beauty.

was placed beside it, and beside the
gatling guns which were on both sides
OF it, commanding the approaches 20
the capitol building from the south
west and southeast. When asked why
he was making moro extensive prep
arations than had existed yesterday.
Gen. Collier replied:
"The old gun has been locked up for
a long time, and we just brought 1t
out to give it little air."
The State board of election commits
sioners met to-day in the Capitol Hotel
for short session, and then decided
to make an attempt to visit the Offices
of the commission in the capitol build
ing. They reached these after con-
siderable trouble with the sentries and
promptly adjourned until 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning, to meet in the Cap
itol Hotel. Although every leader OF
the Democratic party is now away from
Frankfort, it is understood and be-
lieved by such of those as remain here
that the Democratic party, in case OF
a failure to agree with the Republicans
in Louisville, will at once proceed to
Organize State Government.
In order to do this with the least pos
sibe delay, it Is necessary that the con-
tests for the minor positions on the
State ticket shall be determined i'm
mediately. Governor Beckham has at
the present time no Secretary of State,
no Treasurer, no Auditor. 1t will be
impossible, of course, for him to trans
act business until these officers have
been seated, and it is with the object
of facilitating matters in this respect
that the election commissioners are
now at work. All these contests are
little more than matters of form, every
one of them resting upon the same
evidence which caused the Legislature
to decide the Goebel-Taylor contest in
favor of the former. The contests will
be decided by the election commission
ers, and their decision is already a
foregone conclusion.
Among the arrivals to-day was Col
Thomas c. Campbell, of New York,
and formerly of Cincinnati. 1t is
stated that he had previously been
working on the contest as counsel for
the dead contestant. He was in con-
ference to-day and tonight with
friends of Governor Goebel, including
the brothers, Arthur and Justus. 1t is
stated that Col. Campbell is assisting
in working up vigorous prosecution
and that there has already been much
information gathered by detectives on
which arrests are expected soon.

IN SOCIETY.

One Of the most successful affairs
of the kind ever given at the institu-
ton, was the supper and social given
at the Carroll club last evening. I'm
der the skillful attentions of the COM
mittee of ladies, the whole of the spa
cious apartments were converted into
q veritable bower of striking beauty
The decorations were for the most part
carried out with flowers. In the din
ing room, where supper was served
from half past five until nine O'Clock,
the tables presented an attractive APP
pearance. About three hundred club
members were in attendance during the
evening.
About eight o'clock dancing was
commenced in the Auditorium, and
continued until eleven, to Killmyer' S
excellent music. During the evening
President Cruise, in very happy adj
dress from the stage, welcomed the
members in the name of the club. The
institution is in an admirable condi-
ton financially There are at present
about twenty applications for mem
bership, awaiting the action of the
next regular meeting.
Last night the members of the
Hawthorne Outing Club of the East
END were in attendance at very sue
cessful banquet given by the members
of this popular club. At reasonable
hour tempting repast was served, to
which the members did ample JUS
tice. Features of the evening were
songs by the members and them

ALL QUIET AT LONDON.

Only q Few Members of the Legfsia-
ture ON the Ground-Caucus POST
poned.
LONDON, KY, February 5.-The fact
that there was not the slightest dis
play of animosity among the citizens
of London when it became certainty
to-day that the Legislature was to con-
vene here and that the twenty live
legislative members who arrived on the
afternoon train were met by welcom-
ing crowd at the station, can safely be
taken as an assurance that no opposi-
ton will be manifested when the ses-
sion begins tomorrow. There is but
one Democratic member here, Senator
Hayes, from Jefferson county, and he
is Of the anti-Goebel following. Al
together twenty-seven Representatives
and nine Senators have arrived. There
will be one more train before to-mor-
row noon, and possibly the number
may be increased.
"Why, we are more than anxious for
the Democrats to come, just to show
them that they have no cause for fear
and that they will be perfectly free
from trouble of any kind" was the
consensus of the remarks made on
every hand.
A caucus was to have been held at
4 o'clock, but owing to the fatigue from
travel it was decided to postpone the
hour until seven O'Clock.

them being the following:

having checked preparations OF this
kind.

THE NEWS CONFIRMED.

CIaytOn-Bulwer Treaty Annuiied
with the Sanction of the Domin-
ion of Canada.
LONDON, February 5.--While the
publication Of the dispatch from Wash
ington regarding the annulling OF the
Clayton-Bulwer Nicaragua canal treaty
and the substituting for 1t the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, caused considerable
surprise, it was confirmed at the for
eign office, where 1t is said the Asso-
ciated Press Washington dispatch is
correct in every particular. The appar-
ent clerity In reaching an agreement 10
explained by the fact that the whole
matter was practically settled between
Secretary Hay and Ambassador Paun-
cefote in 1898. About a fortnight ago
in consequence Of the attitude of the
Senate, Mr.. Choate, the United States
ambassador here received instructions
to press the conclusions of the negotia-
lions. The British cabinet considered
the matter and received the Dominion
of Canadas sanction to grant the
United States request. The attitude Of
the cabinet consisted in the belief that
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty was made
when the conditions governing the ma
tons were SO utterly different that 1t
was now out of date and impractiee-
able. Believing the present most In
opportune time for bargaining and
haggling, the British ministers decid-
ed to give the United States free
hand.

Mentally Unbalanced.

LOUISVILLE, KY, February s.
The charge of murder, which it was
expected would be the accusation after
Mr.. Goebel's death, has not yet been
substituted for that of malicious
shooting against Harland Whitaker,
the prisoner brought here for safe
keeping on account of the excited state
of the people of Frankfort on the day
Goebel was shot. Whitaker refuses
to talk to the deputy jailers and will
answer no questions from reporters.
The behavior of ]. L. Sutton. the
Whiteley county sheriff, under con-
finement for alleged completely in the
assassination, leads those who come
in contact with him daily to believe
he is mentally unbalanced.

he was rather embarrassed by the in

been too fiattering.
His observation has always been, he
said, that the only difference between

work.
