A BULGING POCKET.

Just before the convention assembled last night q sensation of brief durd- tion occurred near the Hotel Adams Judge Baker one Of the principal sup porJers of Smith. Was arrested by Of- ficer Bush on suspicion of carrying a concealed weapon with the ultimate purpose of thinning out the Wilson forces, thereby breaking the deadlock and restoring harmony. The officers attention had been directed to Judge Baker by d timid soul who had ob- served that the judges pistol pocket vas bulging out. On an ordinary oc- casion he would not have remarked the prOtuberance, but yesterday was not an ordinary occasion. Officer Bush pursued Judge Baker and overtaking him. took personal cognizance of that adly bulging pocket. The judge was immediately released on a showing that the bulge was caused by a package f papers in the NaricOpa county contest case. ''Its weapon" admitted the judge. and it's concealed and loaded. as you fellows will find out if I have to use it."

 A RECEIVER IN CHARGE.
 Notwithstanding this assurance the delegates fingered in the theater. They Were distIustful of one another. They ( l1ir Na1Iiucr 1 yoJ ,Tf..t,-s,.1 -;t,,,+io,, with sOberness.

THE BREATHING SPELL

No one seriously believed that q s0- luton of the problem confronting the democracy of Arizona would be fund within three hours. The deadlock be- tween Smith and Wilson was s5 com plote that it could he brok n only by d concession and the slightest possible concession would be fatal t1 the party making it. 1t was thought probable that in ,he end there would either be a compromise in favor of some prominent democrat, m re likely J. C. Hern1on Ci YlVapai. or else the convention would bc broken in two and Wilson and Smith both nominated. Leading democrats had already given up hope of electing either of them in the event of his nomination. Tn the same event the defeat of the whole democratic ticket in Maric.pa county was con- ceded.
 A peace committee composed of F. A. Packard and Eugen- 2. Ives. rep res ntilG smith and T. G. Norris and J C. Herndon for Wilson. met to look for some way out of the difficulty The committee succeeded only i'm find ing plan 70 pr vent d repetition of the disSraceful scene of the morning and Indefinitely proloug the convention.
 THE SECOND TILT.
 At o'clock the doors were unlocllad q and the crowd which had been gath cring Cn the street for an hour came in with wild rush. Sh -rin Murray again occupied the stage. The crowd waited for resumption of hOstilities with inn patience partially rali we'd now and then by the brass band. \ half hour passed and no chairman came. The space set aside fo" the big Yavapai Ge.esation was a gaping waste. At the end of an hour the convention was

shapely and orderly would come out of it.
 The sheriff kept pulling at the chair men and the police kept trying to drive the crowd off the stage. Judge Baker was heard to say. with some feeling and punctuated language. "I thought we were through with the police when the primaries were over. It's almighty tough to have to fight them In the con- vention"
 In tn meantime Chairman Parish had put on his hat and picked up d bundle of papers prepara tory to leaving the stage. A Wilson man begged him ;o take off his hat and act as if he were going to stay or everything was lest. Mir. Parish removed his hat and put down his papers with the air of one who had aseI the stage for the season. The sheriff had succeeded in getting between the temporarily chair men and shouting something into tn , ear of each. They assumed passive attitudes and their partisans grew 50 silent that a fog-horn might have been heard.
 The sheriff then shout. q: II am not here to interfere for either party -''
 Then what are you doing it for?" yelled man from Yavapai.
 The sheriff next called upon Secre- tary Trott to again announce the re- suit of the roll call. A great howl went up from tho Wilson side
 John C. Herndon of Yavapai cried, The chairman of this convention is not he sheriff If Maricopa county"
 Chairman Parish tried to adjourn the convention until o'clock and the sheriff tried to help, hut nobody would adjourn and the pandemonium gr,w wilder than ever.
 LULLED BY THE RAND.
 The band. which might have done something n the interest of order be- fore. struck up SThere1 Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" If not restored to absolute quiet the mob was at least put in better humor and Captain Mcdonald and Chairman Far ish danced callc-Walll on the stage.
 Sheriff Murray resumed his dis course. saying in reply to fragments of accusations of UnWarrauteI in;arfer- ence that h. had found the convention iL a dlsorderly state. requiring the at tcntiOn of tn se invested with author ity to maintain or re-estabhsh law aud order. The inf rene was that a mob organized under the suiSe of a demo- cratic convention was no more inn mune than one which suddenly springs up on the streets. The sheriff called on all good and law resp, cting persons 10 assist him. There was a dispositi to listen t1 him and tha crowd grew more and more nearly quiet until he set about unraveling the parliamentary tangle iii which the convention found itself.
 THE SHERIFF'S RULING.
 Therefore when he decided that in view of the indefinite state of affairs Chairman Parish should still be re- garGed as chairman. there went up a roar of mingled approval and disap- PrTval.
 The sheriff. if not abla to restare quiet, kept a firm grip on the conven- ton and never during the day relaxed it for an instant. There seemed no greater probability at this juncture that the convention could go on than that everything, even chaos, must come to an end some time.

prominent Filipino leaders are great
" pleased, as they believe that, I'M
der the amnesty, they can bring about
tie surrender of Aguinaldo, who, they
declare, is ready and willing to con-
slider the peace platform adopted by
Tie Filipino leaders with few in
significant exceptions.
Several meetings of the leaders were
quietly held in Manila last week.
They are encouraged by the progress
they are making with the natives
and the authorities here. To-day an
important meeting will be held at
which the American decree will be
read. II is the consensus of opinion
of the foreigners, the better class of
the Filipinos and the Spaniards that
Aguinaldo will be in Manila shortly
as the result Of the decree and the
negotiations of Ruencamino.

rines to China in the event that de-
