Around the World.

New York, April 24.-The Tribune to-
morrow will say:
1T is reported in Wall street yester-
day that John w Gates, who a year and
a half ago abandoned a projected trip
around the world and instead remained
in this cOntry and organized the Amer
lean Steel and Wire company, had
again formed plans for making the long
journey, and with that purpose in view
would, at the meeting Of the directors
of the company called for May present
his resignation as chairman of the
board, giving i'll health as the reason
for the step. Another rumor assigned
another cause for Mr.. Gates alleged
decision, that report being that interests
identified with the Federal Steel COM
pany has recently purchased sufficient
stock of the steel and wire company to
give them, in alliance with other share
holders opposed to the Gates manage
ment, practical control of the company,
and that at the meeting of May Mr.
Gates would go out of Office as a result
of the change of control Mr. Gates de-
clined to make any statement about the
matter.

Indiana Man Wants More Currency
Legislation.

Legislation.
Indianapolis. April 24.-The ABA del
egates who will sit in the Republican
state convention will all be here this
evening. Indications also point to an
attendance of visitors that will be one
of the largest ever at a political con-
ventiOn.
The contest for the nomination for
governor continues to mystify the poll
ticians. 1t looks today as if John L.
Griffiths would lead on the first bal
lot, and his friends are predicting that
he will hold the lead in the convention
until nominated. The managers Of W.
7. Durbin are certain that he will have
more votes than any other candidate on
the first ballot. Hogate, Dodge and
Haggard are content with the outlook.
The first session of the convention will
be held at o'clock tomorrow. As a
result of Republican state platform
conference it is proposed to endorse the
Porto Rican bill in manner to be
understood by every one, although the
bill be not mentioned by name. Another
plank will be the hearty endorsement
of the monetary law. This will point
out the benefits that have already ac-
crued under the law and will recon-
mend further law on the money queS-
tion. State affairs will take up a great
deal of the platform. H. H. Hanna
and Congressman Overstreet win have
much to do with drafting the platform.

DEMOCRATS GATHERING
SuntiOwer Leaguers Meet in
Wichita to Banquet.

Wichita, Kas., April 24.-Several
speakers on the programme for the
Sunfiower banquet this evening have
disappointed the management Orig
inally, in addition to Bryan, the In
vited speakers were: Senator Daniel
of Virginia, Senator Blackburn of Ken
lucky, Senator McMillin of Tennessee,
Governor Thomas of Colorado, ex-Con-
gresham Towne of Minnesota and
Allen o. Myers Of Ohio. Senator Black
burn pleading another engagement, de-
clined, and Mr.. Towne accepted, if he
RECEIVERS from a surgical operation
which he was about to undergo. All
the others promised positively, but now
comes a telegram from Senator Daniel,
saying he cannot come, and w. F. Sapp,
president of the league, from the fail
ure of Senator McMillin and Governor
Thomas to report their movements re-
Gently, fears that they will be delin-
quent. The only outside speakers there
will be Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Myers, and
the gaps will be filled in by local side
lights.
If they could, the Democrats would
veto Mr.. Bryan's acceptance of an invi-
tation to address the Clay Center con-
vention. He is getting altogether too
close to the Peoples party to suit the
Democratic mind. The Democrats are
willing for the Populists to indorse Mr..
Bryan, but they want no Populist part
nership in him and lately the Populists.
especially the POpuliStS of Kansas, have
been making that sort of a claim.
Even Jerry Simpson. who pleaded for
a Democratic candidate in the Sixth
district and sent his friends over the
Seventh district in behalf of Claude
Duval. is said to be out of line. If all
reports are true he is almost ready to
throw his boom for the United States
SerIatorship to the wind and go in for
a Populist declaration of independence.
To a political friend of Democratic
faith Mr.. Simpson is reported to have
| said in Kansas City last night that if
the Democrats persist in the course
they have adopted since the Colby and
| Great Bend conventions it will lead to
a split at Fort Scott, and the thing,
| therefore, for the Populists to do is to
| defy the Democrats.
