ANTI-sILvER MEN BUSY

The opponents O the 16 to 1 proposition
were hard at work today e~ndeavoring 10
agree upon some plan which Woulo pre-
vent the inception Of the SPECIFIC proVis-
ion in the platform. The leaders OF tne
movement conferred in Senator HITS
rooms. They said they had a clear ma
iority against the specific declaration,
the only difference being how they could
manage h affair SO as to secure a vote
in the convention. hey know tnat tne
influence of Mr.. Bryan is very strong,
and, for this reason, intend to avoio any
criticism of the part he has playeo III
holding his friends to 16 toll. Inc al
vocates Of a reafirmation OF the CniGaso -
platform or a conservative plank as IL IL
called. have not yet reached q point
where they express confidence IN the
movement, but say it is in good shape TOT
a. contest with possibility OF success. IL
is we'll known, however, that an an
nouncement on the floor of the conVen-
ton that Bryan wants a SPECIFIC declara-
ton of 16 to 1 is likely to sweep the con
vention and the matter Of what Is to De
to secure a modified platform. Senator
Hill had a long conference with Con-
gresham Daily of New Jersey, victor
Baughman, Governor Smith and ex-Con
gressman Mills of Maryland, and Mr.. st.
Clair Of West Virginia. He was seen al
forwards by the Associated Press cor
respondent and said:
"Well, things look very bright Tor pre-
venting reiteration of the silver plank.
There will be a good fight in the
ton. MI. Van Wyck will have to stand
for it, for Brooklyn is against flying the
red rag on the monetary question. Inc
states that 1 ! believe are for conservatism
are New York, New Jersey, Marylan
West Virginia, Connecticut. Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Indiana, Minnesota, Iowa, IL
linois and Tennessee" DO you mean
that there will be a fight on the floor by
these people?' was asked. o course,
the fight will be in the committee. we
don't want to take it to the floor OF the
convention" Mr.. Hill was in good spir-
it's and inclined today to dlaugh over last

THE DOORS ARE OPENED

At 1920 o'clock the streets surround
ing Convention hall were densely packed
and every minute added thousands to the
surging mass. Lines of wire cable had
been thrown around the building, ten feet
from the wall to keep back the throng
n within this area policemen maintain
ID clear space while the tide of human
ity pressed up to the cables and threat
ened to take the building by storm. The
doors were not opened until late as the
doorkeepers were being drilled and there
was no relief for the waiting multitude.
Inside the building officials We're shout
ing orders to their armies of attendants,
pages and messengers were being sent
to their stations and the last details of
preparations were being executed. At
1O:45 O'Clock several of he doors were
opened and the great sweep of seats be-
gan to be dotted with groups of specta-
tors.
Soon the aisles leading from the public
entrances became a moving current of
men and women, hurrying to the point of
vantage. Gradually the huge circle took
on a motion, action, color and the hum
of many voices echoed through the hall.
An unusual number of ladies was in the
assemblage. their bright summer dresses
and picture hats vieing with the splendor
of the decorations. A large proportion Of
the men divesting themselves of their
coats and sat in shirt sleeves, hopping
leaf fans. At II o'clock the North Da-
kota contingent was the only one within
the area reserved for delegates. From
tina time on, however, they began COM
ing singly and in pairs and occasionally
a full delegation. But there was little OPP
portunity for heralding their arrival as
they were emptied through tunnels
through the delegates area, giving the
crowds small chances to recognize the
we'll known faces. The leaders, however,
were not among the early arrivals and
thespectators looked In vain for the con
spicuous figures af the party.

PAT GROVE MAY HAVE HAD HAND
 IN KIDNAPPING IF EDDIE CUDAHY

Omaha, Neb, December 26.-It is now known that Pat Grove was seen in South Omaha scarcely twenty hours before the abduction of Eddie Cudahy. On Monday night, December 1T, well known citizen of South Omaha conversed with him for nearly an hour. Pat was in a reminiscent mood and recalled some of the chief ad- ventures of his picturesque career. Just before they parted Pat was questioned con, corning his future plans, and laughingly replied:
 "Oh, have something big on you'll hear from me soon."
 Hitherto Pat has been brought no closer to the abduction than the Saturday night preceding that event. The man who saw him on Monday night states that he had withheld this information fearing that 1t might lead to his own personal discom- fort or even injury.
 The local habitation of Pat Grove while in this vicinity has been more or less of a mystery. He was frequently seen in Oma- ha and South Omoha, and those who knew him wondered where he made his home,

OUTRAGEOUS CRIME
 IN SHELBY COUNTY
J. M. Ray a Prominent Mer- chant, Has His Throat Cut
 by an InsoIent Negro

Wilsonville, December 26. = Especially = One of the most outrageous crimes in the history of Shelby County was committed here Monday night when a negro cut the throat of J. M. Ray merchant of this place. Mir Ray is still unconscious and it is hoped that he will recover, though the physicians give very little encouragement
 The trouble occurred just in front of Pope's store. Mr. Ray asked the negro to pay a debt which he owed. The negro re- torted that he would have paid but for the lying of "old man Bolin." MT. Bolln is a respected white man, and MT. Ray replied that he supposed if there was any lying the negro had done 1t. As he then turned to walk into the store the negro grabbed him around the neck and drew a razor across his throat. The blade severed one of the large arteries and barely missed the windpipe.
 The would-be murderer has escaped and 10 trace of him can be found The com munity is very much incensed.

In an elaborate argument counsel set forth the counter claim of the Castellanes, who demand a reduction of the debt, previously estimated to be at least two million francs, and the restitution of objects taken in ex- change by Wertheimsr, under the penalty of 1000 francT for each days delay in the restitution from the day of judgment, finally claiming damages to the amount of SO0,O00 francs. Counsel suggested that experts be appointed to appraise the articles and sug- these experts be chosen from an ordinary list or from among the presidents of the exposition juries.

London, Dec. 2.-(2:3O a. m.)-The paucity and obscurity of the dispatches from South Africa give rise to renewed anxiety. Ap- parently the disturbed area of Cape Colony extends further south than 1t did last De- cember, and Lord Kitchener does not ap- pear to have had much success as yet in driving back the invaders.
 The War Office had received no news last evening of the reported capture of the Yeomanry near Britstown.
 A Burghersdorp dispatch has mysterious reference to "an unfortunate mistaking of the enemy for Brabant's Horse.," which re- suited in the sounding of "cease fire" and enabling the Boers to occupy all the com manding posts the British retiring from a difficult predicament.

little knowing that Pat had turned a dairy man and was engaged in butter making and making hay at the same time. His employer was none other than his own brother-in-law, who is engaged in the dairy business at Albright, just below South Omaha.
 Last May Pat arrived at the home of his brother-in-law and said that he was will ing to go to work; that he was weary of desperate adventures and wanted to lead an honest life. His brother-in-law and his sister welcomed this determination of Pat and set him to work. Since that time he has continued at the dairy until shortly before the Cudahy abduction. search has been made in Albright for the buggy used by the abductors in their operations. Several buggies answering the general de- scription have been found and hopes are entertained of locating the buggy in or near Albright, Bellvue, Laplatt, Platts- mouth or possibly Pacific Junction. It is thought that if the owner can be found, or the person from whom the abductors bought the buggy, this will go a long way to clear hp the puzzling problem of what the kidnappers did with their equipment when they abandoned their rendezvous and fled from Melrose Hill.

CASTELLANE'S COUNSEL THINKS
 TH[ DEBT SHOULD BE REDUCED

New York in aiding the Castellanes in this suit desires to accomplish a duty which the court had previously confided in him, while the Castellanes after throwing of Wertheimer's yoke, brought the case into court because they thought the publicity of the hearing was better than the mys- tery of the suspicious compacts and equiv- ocal arrangements In doing so, counsel asserted, they did an act of dignity and courage.
 The counsel for Wertheimer, replying said that the authenticity of only five ar ticles of the value of 5O0.000 francs could possibly be questioned and while Werthei- mer affirmed their genuineness he would consent to another expert examination on the Understanding that if the articles were declared spurious, the 5000O0 franc were to be struck out of his bill; but ii they were declared genuine. thes Castellanes were to pay the full price, no revaluation being admitted.

Lord Kitchener Does Not Seem to Have Had Much Success in

General Clements success against the Boers in the Magaliesburg region is also doubtful. the last dispatch reporting that 1t was considered advisable not to force the Boers from their position.'
 The British press continues in the main optimistic. but the condition of affairs brings home the enormous difficulties that will face Lord Kitchener in patrolling and policing such immense tracts of country, even when the Boer shall be finally sub dued.
 The Daily Mail which makes a strong appeal to the government to face the facts and send Lord Kitchener more troops" says:
