of overthrowing Taylor Riddle who
seeks a reelection. 1t also means the
removal of Secretary J. H. Curran.
This question will dominate all others
before the convention unless a compro-
mise. which is now altogether improba-
Bile, be agreed upon. For the present
today at least-Bryan, the candidates
for delegates to the national convention,
resolutions, platforms and state office
candidates have been placed subordi-
nate to the one subject of reorganiza-
ton.
Whether or not this contest will pre-
cipitate a test of strength between the
combined opposition and the Breiden-
thai forces is a question which can not
be answered until the actual moment
arrives. The Breidenthal forces might
suffer by such a test and there is no
disposition on their part to force the issue.
This is because anti-Breidenthal men
from many counties have been placated
by being sent to this convention while
his supporters have been placed on del
egations to participate in the state
nominating convention
To this condition, perhaps more than
to any other cause, is due the move
ment on the part of the Breidenthal
forces to make a show of not wanting
to name the chairman It has been gen
orally believed that Breidenthal wants
r. H. Semple, of the present force in
his Office, for chairman However, dele
gates here have exhibited letters today.
| in which Mr.. Semple suggests that for
the sake of harmony. 1T would perhaps
be better to select some one else as
| candidate for this honor"
There is some bitter opposition to
/ both Semple and Breidenthal manifest
| ed here, but it is not serious for the
| convention tomorrow will have nothing
| to do with nominating a candidate
! for governor. In consideration of Sem
| pies attitude he has been suggested for
Secretary-the wOrkingman of the COM
mittee-a place which he says he viii
| accept. Semple may be made chairman
! but this fight will not be made unless
after all the delegates arrive, and a
count of noses indicates a safe major
ity in favor of the proposition. A losing
fight now might endanger Breidenthal
at Fort Scott.
Taylor Riddle is working with his
friends, early and late, to defeat both
the reorganization and Semple. for any
| place on the committee. The only
| charge which has been made against
Breidenthal is that he has betrayed the
party. This is the Lewelling-Leedy y
charge. Now it is claimed, here thai
| Semple was the responsible party; thai
he was the author and circulator of sew
eral damaging publications refiectine
on the integrity of state officers anc
Populist leaders and candidates. durine
the time their party was in control n
the state house. These charges are the
principal issues being made agains
Semple. This fight is what prompted
Mr.. Semple to suggest that harmony
might be better preserved by puttinE
him in as secretary instead of chair
man.
This has brought out several candi
dates for Riddles place. Among then
are the following:
Representative Clem FairchiId, O
Kingman.
Jake Sheppard. Fort Scott.
- Grant Harrington, Hiawatha.

vention win be called to order here for
the nomination of what is called an
alternate year. state ticket and selec-
tion of delegates and alternates at large
to the Philadelphia convention. Most OF

ing the night. Among the latest ar
rivals was Senator Hanna who came at

sisted that he will not be a delegate to
the Philadelphia convention
The delegates met by counties for con-
ferences during the forenoon and by
congressional districts in the afternoon.
tees meet tonight after the opening ses-
sion of the convention at 4 O'Clock. The
keynote address of Temporary Chair
man R. NJ. Nevin of Dayton will be the
feature of the session this afternoon. AS
there are no contesting delegations, the
committee on resolutions is about the
only one that will have much to do to-
night and it will be in the nature of
codifying and revising the planks of the
platform already outlined. There are no
differences of opinion on the issues and
few differences regarding the candi-
dates.
The closing session tomorrow promises
to be short. The only ballots will be for

PANUCA BURNED.
Mexican City of 1000 People
Totally Destroyed.
Property Loss Estimated at
$2,225,OOO.

St. Louis, April PA special to the
Globe Democrat from San Antonio,
Texas, says: According to advices re-
ceived here Panuca, Mexico, one of the
most important trading towns on the
east coast of the republic of Mexico,
sixty miles west of the seaport of Tam
pico, has been entirely destroyed by
fire. Panuca is a. town of II. 900 per
sons on the Panuca river. Thatched
roof adobe houses and modern frame
business blocks, surrounded by brush
huts constituted the city. Everything
went down before the flames as there
were no fire fighting appliances IL the
city. The loss will aggregate 81 2z5, 600.
No reports of fatalities have been re-
ceived here, but eight men were Sc
verely injured through the explosion of
a government small arms storehouse.
When the $780, 900 distillery of Castillo
and Cha caught fire a mob of poems
stole large quantities of Mexican
brandy. In a short time they became
violently drunk and but for the prompt
and vigorous action of a company OF
Mexican infantry would have done
much violence to the homeless persons.
The Mexican government has taken
steps for the relief of the people, many
of whom have been carried to Tampico
for protection. The fire started in the
distillery, and was carried in every di-
rection by a forty mile an hour wind
A heavy rainfall followed, but not until
the town was in embers.

CLARK TO RESIGN.
Montana Senator Has Decided
to Give Up the Fight.

New York. April 24-The Herald
says: William A. Clark, of Montana,
will resign his seat in the United States
senate.
The communication by which he will
make known to the senate his inten-
tions has already been prepared. 1t
may be presented this afternoon. It
may be held until later in the session,
but it will be handed in before the SEN
ate has acted upon the report of the
committee on privileges and elections
declaring that he was not duly and
legally elected.
Senator Clark will carry his resigna-
tion with him when he goes to the cap
itol today.
1t is known that Senator Clark has
come to the conclusion that the most
dignif1ed course for him to pursue is
to withdraw gracefully and to go be-
fore the people of his state with a re-
quest that they give him a vote of
confidence and again send him to

The custom has always been to elect
chairman and secretary after the
state officers are nominated. It is now
urged that the committee be reorean-
lied so the preliminary work may be
completed before the campaign is 50
far advanced. It is also argued that
the Republicans viii go tG work imme-
1iatelJ after their state convention.
May -. As the F'cpUlist convention is
not held until July "a, the opposition
would have two months the start. uz-
less the committee be now reorganized.
This is the plea made to the unso-
phisticated delegate who is not CONVEX
SAINT with the tribGlaticps and quarrels
in which the candidates find them
selves. In the circles where the fight
is hottest no secret is made of the de-
sire to pay debts against Riddle by re-
firing him to the ranks of the plain
people"
The state committee, however. las
in the call already issued for the Fort
Scott convention. announced the cleo
tion of a chairman and secretary for
that time. There are some of the mem
bers of the party who do not want the
former action of the committee changed
and this creates another feature Of Op-
position to the reorganization.

FIGHT ON BREIDENTHAL
RumOr That Democrats Will
Open One is Denied.

Clay Center, April 24.-It is reported
here today among the leading Populists
that the Democrats at Wichita will
make charges against Breidenthal open
ing the fight on him and that President
W. F. Sapp of the Sunflower league is
at the head of the movement.
A query for confirmation from Wich-
ita brought the following reply: Mr..
Sapp was talking that sort of thing
last night. There is a movement in
dicating a fight on Breidenthal by Dem
ocratS who declare that he would not
accept and that the campaign against
him would kill him as he could not
stand the racket
Another telegram from Wichita says:
There is nothing in it. Mr.. Sapp says
he has no quarrel with Breidenthal. His
only objection to him is that he is a
prohibitionist and a member of the ex-
ecutive committee of the State Tenn
perance union, and that it is therefore
impolitic for Democrats to nominate
him for governor. He says he has no
intention of denouncing him today or
at any other time and besides the Sun
flower league was not put up for pur-
pose of that kind

CAGES Statement.
Showing From Whence Internal
Revenue Is Derived.

Washington April 24-Secretary Gage
today sent to the senate a reply to the
resolutions of April 20. 1900 in regard to
the amount of revenues derived from
the so-called revenue act with a state
ment showing the total amount of such
receipts from the 18th of June, 1898, to
the 31st ult. Commissioner of Internal
Revenue Wilson, who prepared the
statement, says in his communication
to Secretary Gage that 1t is impossible
to furnish a more detailed statement
showing the amount received from each
source under the head of schedule A,
with any degree of accuracy, as the 500
million one cent stamps and the five
hundred million two cent stamps may
be used On documents requiring a high
err tax than is required in the four
specific purposes provided by law.

QUAY LOSES
Senator McCumber Who Was
Counted For Him
Makes a Strong Speech in OppO-
sitiOn to His Claim.
HE is DENIED A SEAT.
Decision in the Celebrated Case
Reached.
Large Number of Interested
Spectators Present.
BE is DENIED A SEAT.
Vote Stood 33 to 30 Against
His Admission.

Washington, April 24-The vote on
the Quay case was taken promptly at
o'clock. The resolution which de-
clared Mr. Quay mot entitled to his
seat was first laid before the senate.
Mr.. Chandler moved to strike out the
word not and on that the vote was
taken. It stood 80 to 30 against Mr..
Quay.
Washington, April 24-The final days
debate on the case of NJ. S. Quay began
n the senate today at IL o'clock. Not
wlthstanding the comparatively early
hour of meeting a. large number of SEN
stors was present. When the session
opened many people were in the gal
leries. A resolution of last week by Mr..
Culberson of Texas, was passed.
It requests the president to inform
the senate what commissions have been
created or appointed by the executive
since March 4, 1895, in reference to for
elgn relations or the territories of the
United States, or to inquire into the
war with Spain; the personnel of the
commission: the total compensation or
allowance of each of the commissioners
and of all employees of the committees.
A bill authorizing the secretary of
war to make regulations governing the
running of loose logs, steamboats, and
RATS on certain rivers was passed.
Consideration Of the Quay case was
then resumed. Mr.. Penrose Pa-) con
tinued his argument begun late yester-
| day afternoon.
Mr.. McCumber IN. D) delivered a
carefully prepared constitutional argu-
ment in opposition to the seating of Mr..
Quay. Only a brief while ago he was
regarded as an advocate of Mr.. Quey' s
claim, but he announced in his speech
that after careful consideration he had
changed his opinion. This change he
said was not based upon emotion, but
upon reason.
In an extended argument, Mr.. Lind
say C<y) presented legal and constitu-
tional reasons, why. in his opinion, Mr..
Quay ought not to be seated. He held
that the appointment of senators by the
state executive was provided for by the
trainers of the constitution merely to
provide for the filling of vacancies that
may he regarded as expected.
