WISCONSIN, REPu1rlcANs
Indorse Mckinley and Select Delegates
to Philadelphia.

InQOrse mckinley ana SeleCt DCASSaeSs
to Philadelphia.
Milwaukee correspondence:
The Republican State convention, held
in Milwaukee, Wednesday, was largely
a matter of reclamation. The four dele
gates at large were named and the plat
form adopted without argument. The
convention was called to order at noon
by State Chairman J. B. Treat, who in
-troduced James q. Monahan as temper
airy chairman.
When the convention reassembled after
recess Judge Mead, from the Committee
ON Permanent Organization, recommend
ed the temporary organization be made
permanent, and it was done.
The platform reaffirmed the announce
ment made at the st. Louis convention,
congratulated the party it had not re-
eeded from the position then taken,
praised Congress for its financial legisla-
ton, and had this to say of President
Mckinley:
I'VE indorse the strong and progressive
administration of our President, William
Mckinley, under which new luster has
been added to our arms and unparalleled
increase of wealth and prosperity secured
to the country, and we rely upon our par
ty to deal with and solve the problems
that have come to us as Il result OF the
Spanish war in manner that will reflect
credit upon the party and rebound to the
honor and strength Of the nation"
The convention then elected delegates
at-large to Philadelphia, and the district
nominations for delegates to the national
convention were reported. There was
brief clash over the nomination Of III.
August Luedtke for delegate at large,
but he was chosen over Col. A. q. Weis-
sert by vote of 697 to 327.
Nominations for Presidential Electors
at-large were made by reclamation, and
the selection Of district Presidential Elec-
tors ratified, as follows:
First District-George A. Yule.
Second District-Williard A. Van
Brunt.
Third District-Henry Rothe.
Fourth District-William Kieckhefer.
Fifth District-A. j. Frame.
Sixth District-John Schuette.
Seventh District-John Achsner.
Eighth District-C. M. Fenelon.
Ninth District-The Rev. John D. Nell

Uncle Sans Threat TO Send Warships
Brings Favorable Reply.
The Porte has replied to the American
demand for payment of the 5000 claim
ed as compensation for damages to
American property during the Armenian
massacres. The Sultan agrees to pay
the Americans under the same conditions
as apply to citizens of other foreign
states who sustained losses in the same
uprisings. The Sultan breads an Ameri-
can naval demonstration in the Mediter-
ranean, and his worry over the indemnity
complication has had the effect Of leading
him to abandon the arbitrary raising Of
customs duties. Whereas the ambassa-
doris hitherto have lodged with his ma
jesty four Intellectual protests, now he
consents to negotiate the matter.
The representatives of the other great
powers at Constantinople watch the issue
Of the Turco-American difficulty with
great interest, correspondents say, for if
the United States succeeds in getting a
settlement from this bad debtor the other
powers will demand the immediate ad-
iustment of their claims. 1t is claimed
by foreign correspondents that the Amer
lean Government actually threatened to
send the Turkish minister, Ali Ferrouh
Bey, his passports unless the matter is
quickly cleared up.

New York-The outlook for the iron
and steel trade has been the subject OF
considerable comment, both in speculative
and legitimate business circles. State
ments coming from authorities on the sit
uation have been decidedly conflicting.
The closing down Of several of the Amerl-
can Steel and Wire mills caused consi0-
cradle excitement for time, but the con-
viction has been forcing itself home upon
most people that the whole thing was
merely the act of reckless and desper-
ate gambler in the stock markets. Wall
street naturally suffered some disturb
ance by reason Of this move.
Chicago-After a week Of comparative
dullness the grain and provision markets
closed at a decline. There continued to
be an abundance of news of bearish ma
ture and of quite as much Importance to
all the grain markets were the reports
and statistics Of the last seven days, as
was the Government crop report the pre-
vious week. This season of the year
brings with it the irrepressible, ever
varying prospects for the new crops which
never fail to cause anxiety and arouse
interest among spectators. The spread
between the prices of the May and July
options held steadily at 1850. A spread Of
&c is the general talk. The only support
corn has had has been the spasmodic
buying by the bull clique, which, although
small, is supposed to be practically in
control of the situation and is bucking
against large majority. Everything has
been in favor of lower prices, the most
important and influential factor being the
weather. Apprehension was felt that be-
cause Of the heavy rains in the corn belt
the planting would be delayed and farm
ers' deliveries retarded by bad roads. The
rains have ceased in most places and this
news has been accompanied by reports
of fine growing weather, depressing

RAINS DELueE THE SOUTH.
Drenching Torrents Fall Over All the
Flooded District.

Drenching Torrents Fall Over All the
Flooded District.
The flood situation in Louisiana and
Mississippi was just beginning to bright
en- when it began pouring rain over most
Of the same district again. Reports from
Mississippi and Louisiana tell Of steady,
drenching fall and that the streams are
again raging.
This food has been the most destruc-
tive of any within the memory Of the old
est inhabitants. One in II approached
it, but the ruin was not so widespread.
From Vicksburg on the Mississippi river
across to Jackson, thence on line to
Meridian, Miss, and on down to Mobile
ruin and desolation mark the path of the
great food. Cotton and corn crops are
totally destroyed and as the waters begin
to recede the destitute condition Of the
people is just beginning to be revealed.
In Bayou Pierre district, one of the
richest cotton sections Of Mississippi, not
only are the crops destroyed, but the sub
soil of the fields has been washed to sea.
A special from Enterprise, Miss, says
the water is standing five feet deep in the
houses and stores. In I'll it reached
height of only two feet in the buildings.
The same wire says all goods are ruined
and that houses were carried off to the
deep sea. All bridges which have been
the means Of ingress and egress have
been swept away. The farmers all around
the surrounding country are now in bad
shape for making a crop this year. Most
of them had put out their fertilizers and
planted corn and cotton. Their fences
have been swept away, the crops plant.
ed totally ruined and most of their live
stock drowned.

FOREST FIRES IN THE NORTH.
Vast Areas in Minnesota and Manitoba
Wrapped in Flames.
st. Paul Pioneer-Pr


Almost the entire northern portion of
Minnesota and the lower portion of Man
itoba is in flames. In Minnesota the fire
area extends for many miles through st.
Louis and Itasca counties in the heavy
pine timber of the State. Already sew
eral small settlements have been wiped
out and as the fire spreads and grows
the bigger towns are threatened.
The loss of life WILL it is believed, be
heavy, as reports received in Minneapo-
lis show that many persons have already
perished In the path of the flames were
the homes of hundreds Of settlers and
homesteaders. Searching parties with
wagons and accompanied by doctors and
nurses, are securing the edges Of the
burning district in the hope of picking up
persons who have managed to escape, al
though the chances of finding many are
small. 1t is the opinion that the loss Of
life will equal that Of the Hinckley lire
OF a few years ago, when nearly 4OO per-
sons lost their lives.
For the first time in many years the
timber country in the northern portion of
the State and in the lower portion of
Manitoba is as dry as finder, caused by
the lack of rain and the absence Of heavy
snow last winter. The fire has already
invaded the proposed national park OF
Minnesota, in the Leech lake region, and
the small towns in that locality are
fighting for life.
The country between Hibbing and
Swan river, 100 miles northwest Of Du-
luth, is one vast furnace, with little
chance of escape for the settlers living
within the fire lines. Thus far half hun
dred or more logging camps, in addition
to several small towns, have been swept
away and not a word has been heard
from the hundreds of men employed IN
them.
Winnipeg dispatches say that the for
est fires along the southeastern border are
still raging, but the exact amount of dam
age or loss of life has not been ascertain
ed. An entrapped special train succeeded
in breaking through the flames after one
of the most thrilling trips in the history
Of railroading. 1t brought in with it
several stragglers found in a desperate
condition near Vassar. Besides immense
quantities of ties and wood, two large
numbering outfits with forty wagons and
over sixty other wagons are known to
be burned. The drivers and bushmen
have scattered in all directions and out OF
200 only about thirty are known to have
reached place of safety. The remain
der are doubtless struggling desperately
through the woods for their lives.

Man with the Bicycle Hump.


Bowed by the weight Of centuries" he
leans
Across his handlebars and gazes on the
ground.
His is the emptiness of the bicycle face;
His back might bear the burden of the
world.
Who made him dead to heedfulness and
caution,
cares,
Stolid and stunning, a brother to the
trolley car?
Who slanted down those cleaning handle
bars?
Whose breath blew out the light within
that lamp?
Is this the thing the manufacturer gave
To have dominion over street and boule-
ward,
To trace the paths and search the sub
urbs for road,
TO feel the JOY Of swift locomotion?
Is this the dream dreamed by the maker
Of the machine,
Who stiffened that strong diamond frame
of steel?
Down all the stretch of road to the road
There is no shape more terrible than
this
More tongued with censure of the worlds
pedestrians,
More filed with signs and portents for
the passerby,
More fraught with menace to the uni
verse.
What CULTS between him and Apollo
Belvedere!
Slave of the wheel Of rubber, what to
Are rules of parks and swing of coppers'
clubs,
What the long reaches of the laws strong
arm,
The broken leg, the reddening nose?
Through this dread shape the scorching
age looks down,
Fast times tragedy is in that aching
stOOp,
Through this dread shape, humanity be-
trayed,
Twisted, bent over, and all bumped,
Cries protest to makers of the bike,
A protest that is also prophecy.
o manufacturers, dealers in all lands,
Is this the chrome that you give the
world,
This monstrous thing, distorted and
awry?
How will you ever straighten up this
shape,
Give back the proud and upward looking
head,
cfake right the awful sinuosity,
The parabolic Incarnation, def1exion ser
pentine?
How will the future reckon with this
man?
How answer his brute question in that
hour,
When he is bent just like boomerang?
How will it be with the makers Of the
wheel,
With those who shaped him to the thing
he is,
When the bent terror tries to straighten
up,
After he his ridden all his centuries?
