AN EARLY CONVENTION.

Prominent Democrats Believe 1t Good
Policy to Change Precedent.
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. ia Washing
ton special to The Times says:
At a dinner given by Representative
Caldwell, one Of the guests was William
Jennings Bryan. During the converse
ton it developed that there was strong
sentiment, in which Mr.. Bryan seemed
to share, that the Democratic national
convention should be held before the
Republican national convention on
June 10. Heretofore the party in
power has held its convention drst.
The Democratic leaders, however. think
it would be good politics this year tor
the Democrats to be the first to formu-.
late platform, especially the plank on
trusts, in the hope of placing the Repub-
licans in the position Of endorsing part
Of it. At the dinner, and since coming
to Washington, Mr.. Bryan has left the,
impression that he prefers Kansas City
as the place for holding the next Demo
cratic national convention.

Trust League good progress had been
made with the set speeches Of which
dozen or more were delivered. The res
olution committee was busy while the
main body Of the delegates was listen
ing to the speeches at Central Music

lated by the committee covering the
following points: Government owner
ship Of all railways and telegraph lines;
the abolition of all special privileges by
legislative enactments; placing on the
free list of all trust goods, and direct
legislation by petition from the people.
The discussion in committee was car

was offered for the taxation Of all fran

ground that such action would simply
legalze special provisions. Among the

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-Roland B. Moli-
neux, tried for the killing Of Mrs.
Katherine j. Adams by poison on Dec.
20, 1898, has been found guilty Of muir
der in the first degree. The jury was
out about eight hours. Except he be
saved by an appeal or executive elem
ency the prisoner must die in the elec-
trio chair. In his trial, lasting over 80
days, he has had the benefit Of every
aid that the wealth, social influence and
honorable name of his distinguished
father, General Molneux Of Civil war
fame, could bring to his side. His at
torneys presented no evidence, resting
their case solely on the testimony put in
by the state, and took the ground that
their client, being wholly innocent, ,mnst
be found guilty Of murder in the first
degree, the gravest finding possible un-
der the Indictment or must be ac-
quilted.
Though the further plans Of the pris-
oner are not yet stated, there is no
doubt that every resource of appeal will
be availed Of in the hope Of undoing the
results Of this trial and conviction.

Mr.. Muller later said: 1.-THE war is be-

South Africa. The longer the war lasts
the heavier will be the conditions Of
peace, for England will not come out Of
it without giving important conces-

Transvaaler, added that both republics
will have full freedom and indepen-
dence; further, England will have to
give up those parts Of Cape Colony,
Natal, and Bechuanaland where the in
habitants have thrown in their lot with
the republics, for they must not be left
in the lurch. AS to the territory to be
conceded, the secretary mentioned the

and the northern triangle Of Natal, to-
