A STOP AT WASHINGTON
THE INDIANA DELEGATION MAY
CALL ON THE PRESIDENT.
Railroads VIII Allow a Stop-Oyer in
that City-POIitical Notes
of Interest.

Some time ago Chairman Hernly, Of the
Republican State committee. announced
that he thought it would be good plan
for the Indiana delegation to the Phila-
delphia convention. to return home by the
way of Washington, and call on President
Mckinley as delegation. 1t is understood
that the State will be largely represented
at the convention, and the chairman fig
ured that the delegation would naturally
make good showing in Washington.
Nothing has since been said about the
matter, however as 1t was not known until
yesterday just what the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company, one of the principal lines
running to Philadelphia, intending doing
about letting people stop off at Washington.
The Big Four announced several weeks ago
that it would sell tickets that would be
good for LAY over in Washington. Yes
terday the Pennsylvania Railway Company
gave out the information that those who
purchase tickets over its lines will be al
lowed to stop at Washington if they desire,
and the tickets will be good for ten days at
the capital. 1t is probable that the details
of the plan to visit Washington will be ar
ranged after the delegation reaches Phila-
delphia.
On Monday, June IS, the delegation will
hold a meeting at the Lafayette in Phila-
delphia, when Senator Fairbanks will be
elected chairman of the delegation.
The committee appointed to look after
the decorations of Indiana's headquarters
in the Lafayette Hotel, at Philadelphia,
expects to let the contract for the decora-
tions the first of this week. The commit
tee consists Of Col. w. T. Durbin, Harry
b. Gates and George NJ. Allen. The COM
mittee will leave for Philadelphia on June
IA. The Indiana headquarters will be in
what is known as the India ROOM" on
the second floor of the Lafayette House.

the house and is famous for it's handsome
Oriental decorations. The decorations
which the committee is arranging for will
add greatly to it's beauty. The walls will
contain pictures of President Mckinley,
Senator Fairbanks, Senator Beveridge and
other well known and prominent Repub-
leans There will be a profusion of silk
flags and bunting and 1t is the intention to
have a fine display of cut flowers. There
will also be an arrangement of electric
lights in the form of an eagle The india
soon after Philadelphia was selected as
the place for holding the national conven-
ton.
1t is probable that the Columbia Club will
attend the convention in a body. Many of
the members are in favor of the club being
represented and yesterday a committee
consisting of Harry B. Gates, chairman.
Frederick A. Joss and George b. Elliott,
was appointed to ascertain the sentiment
Of the members on this question. Last
night the committee began sending out
letters to every member of the club ask

fcient number of the members of the club

MAY REMAIN IN CITY
CoMPANY's PROPOSITION
TO GOVERNOR TAYLOR.
He May Accept the Indiana Agency
Next Race for Governorshfp
Going to Martinsville.

A proposition has been made to Governor
w. 8. Taylor. whereby he may become
citizen of Indianapolis. William Boswell.
of Cincinnati district manager of the
Provident Saving Life Insurance Company.
came to this city yesterday and made
proposition to Mr. Taylor that he become
the Indiana representative of the company.
The Governor, it is understood, will accept
of the position if he concludes to make In
diana his future home He said yesterday
that he was not at present ready to say
anything OF his future residence, but would
decide the question soon after the national
Republican convention.
One of the Kentuckians said yesterday
that there was a man in this city whom the
Goebel people were more anxious to get
than either Governor Taylor Of Finley. He
said the man was wanted as a witness, and
that they would try to take him back to
Kentucky at any cost. He said that there
was plan to kidnap the man, and 1T was
believed that Goebel and Chinn were COM
ing to this city to assist in that purpose.
He refused to state the mans name or
whereabouts.
Governor Taylor with his wife and
daughter accompanied by Mr.. Finley will
leave for Martinsville this evening.
Kentucky Republicans are already urging
Governor Taylor to announce himself as
candidate for Governor next November.
The Governor sent a telegram to party
leaders in Louisville, stating that he would
not be ready to make statement until to-
morrow. The friends Of Governor Taylor
do not believe he will enter the contest In
fact, at the situation now stands, 1t would
be impossible for the Governor to make
campaign. AS one Of his friends said in
speaking of the Governors possible candi-
dacy, 'it would be impossible for the Gov
ernor to make a campaign either from be-
hind the walls of the Frankfort jail or from
Indiana" To go to.Kentucky the Governor
would have to surround himself with
band of fearless men and would have to
resist arrest at all times, thus putting him
self in the attitude of an armed bandit.
Then again the Governor Is not at all
sanguine that his election would mean any
more to him in November than at the last
election. 1t is believed by party managers
and by Mr.. Taylor himself that strong
Republican would have all the advantage
of the feeling current in Kentucky against
Goebelism. If Governor Taylor decides
that he will not be candidate, 1t is said
that John w. Yerkes, who is one of the
brightest and cleanest public men in Ken
lucky, will make the race.

days. We had seventeen skirmishes and
FIVE battles. One battle is said to have
been the largest and most stubborn battle
ever fought in the Philippines. 1t was the
battle of San Diego fought on the list of
January. There was one battalion of the
Thirty-ninth Infantry, and one battalion of
the Thirty-seventh Infantry, the Thirtieth
Infantry, three mountain guns of the Sixth
Artillery, two twelve-pounders or the
Fourth Artillery, and one rapid-fre gun;
one squadron of the Fourth Cavalry, one
squadron of the Eleventh Ca Try, and one
hundred Macabebe scouts. All were in
action but K, and III companies. The
Fflipinos were about two thousand strong.
We were fighting for eleven hours steadily.
1.-THE goo-goos were in fine trenches on
three hundred and twenty-seven; we lost
eight and thirty wounded. The Thirtieth
chased them seven miles to Mayayjay MA
hi-hD and drove them out of there.
Company c charged up hill to their
trenches against a steady fire and only
had two men wounded. Junker, poor boy,
is crippled for life in a fight on the 18th OF
January. He was shot in the leg, once in
the back and twice in the left forearm.
His arm will always be stiff and crooked.
He gets a discharge and is going home this
month I do not know when We will be

NEW BRIDGE OPENED.

and yesterday evening the first car passed

the athletic young men who took part in

coincidence The last car to pass over the
old bridge before Ii gave way also carried
members of these same athletic associa-
tons. The cars following 1t constituted a
work train. which proved too heavy for, the
strength OF the bridge The County Com
