A NEW POLITICAL PARTY.
A Convention at Kansas City Of All the
"lsms" Tabooed by Republicans
and Democrats.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. ls.--A new
political party Is being nodded in
this city. 1t is to be n union of all
national reform political organiza-
tons, and it embraces all the ele-
ments, principles and ''isms" which
are tabooed by the republican and
democratic parties. The allied third
party hates gold and fusion, although
the latter is necessary to give it
birth. The seven elements from
which the new party has been nodded
are the Bryan democrats, the single
takers, liberal socialists, fusion popu-
lists, middle-of-the-road populists
and the public ownership party.
There are delegates attending the
convention from nearly 40 states.
They are called delegates, although
the convention is open to all who will
subscribe to the principles of the new
party. J. 7. Cook, of Carthage, Mo-,
called the convention to order.

SAVED FROM TIE MOB.
Nebraska Negro Who Assaulted A White
Woman Landed In Jail After an Ex-

Clay Center, Neb., Sept. 23.-The
negro, Bert, who criminally assaulted
Mrs. DR.. Vida Hale at Edgar, Neb.,
Friday night, and who was captured
after being shot three times, was
safely landed in the county Jail at this
place Sunday. The mob gathered
around the city Jail at Edgar and
made a second attempt to get at the
man, but was unable to do so. A
brother of the woman made an ap-
peal to the mob to allow the law to
take its course, which quieted its
members and they dispersed. Later
the sheriff went to Edgar and brought
the negro to this city, where he is
now confined in Jail. His wounds
are from a shotgun and are not
thought to be serious. The negro
gave his name as Pleyton PAXTON,
and says his home is in sabetha,

POLICY.
To Be in Harmony with President
McKinley's Buffalo Speech.
ACABIyE1 MEETING Held YESTERDAY


Washington, Sept. is.-President
Roosevelt at three o'clock yesterday
convened his first cabinet meeting
held in Washington. At this meet
ing the president asked the members
of Mr.. McKinley's cabinet to retain
their respective portfolios through
out his term and announced that his
administration would follow the pol
icy outlined by President Mckinley
in his Buffalo speech.
After the obseqries over the late
president the cabinet, at President
Roosevelt's request, assembled at the
residence of Commander Cowles,
where the president is staying until
after the funeral, principally for the
purpose of informing their new
chief Of the state of affairs in their
respective departments. The presi-
dent desired to learn if there were
amy matters of money requiring his
attention before his departure for
Canton. He was assured that there
was nothing of pressing Importance.
The president then addressed his adj
visers collectively, as he had pre-
viously done individually, requesting
them all to retain their respective po-
sitons in his cabinet. Mr.. Roosevelt
expressed the hope and expectation
that every member would serve
throughout his term, for, he said, he
rendered the appointments as il he
had just been elected to the presi-
dency and was forming an original
cabinet. The president said, however,
that there was one difference be-
tween the present tender and that Of
an original offer, namely, that under
the present circumstances they were
not at lber.y to decline. Upon be-
ing asked by member II resigna-
tions should be formally presented in
the usual manner, the president an
nounced that his action at this meet
ing had precluded the necessity Of
presenting designations. The discus
sion turned upon the policy Of the ad-
ministration, and Mr.. Roosevelt an
nounced that he regarded the speech
Of the late president Mt the Buffalo
Pan-American exposition the day pre-
vious to the tragic shooting, as out
lining the policies to be followed by
the administration. 1t cannot be
learned at this time whether or not
all the members will be willing to
serve the full term.

ALLIED REFORM PARTIES.

Platform Adopted.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept @.--There
were lively times at the convention
Of the allied reform parties in Music
hall yesterday. Populists held out to

tees agreed upon compromise with
the populist conference committee.
This compromise provided that all
the reform parties should organize
and name a party with provisional
committee of three from each party.
A platform was adopted demand
ing the initiative and referendum,
public ownership, single tax, postal
savings banks and other populist
measures.

WOOD RETURNS TO CUBA.


Washington, Sept. 23.-Gen. Leon
ard Wood, military governor of
Cuba, left here Sunday night by way
of Tampa for Havana. The expecta-
ton of Gen. Wood is that he will be
able to complete arrangements by
which the conduct of affairs in the
island can be handed over to the Gu
bans by the first of next May. The
electoral law which the governor
brought with him for the inspection
Of the authorities here Is satisfac-
tory to the administration provided
some notifications are made.
As a result of his talk with the Off
cials here Gen. Wood Sunday night
expressed the opinion that there will
be no change in the attitude of the
administration toward the Cubans,
but that the policy inaugurated by
Mr.. Mckinley will be continued by
his successor.

NOT A TICK WAS HEARD.
The Entire Telegraph System Of the United
States flushed for Five Minutes
Yesterday.

Chicago, Sept. 2O.-0ne feature alb
solutely unique in history character
lied the Mckinley obsequies. 1t was
the silencing of the telegraph. Never
before since electricity was first put
to use as q means of communication
from city to city and from country
to country has there taken place, it
is said, anything paralleling, even in
a small way, what was done yester.
day afternoon on scale that was
gigantic. Upon orders the entire
telegraph system of the United States
was suddenly hushed for five minutes
ut $3.50 p. m, the hour set for lower
ing the presidents body into the
grave at Canton. At that moment
on all the huge network of wires
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, not
u "sonnder' in the land gave
single tick, and the great ocean
cables were pulseless as the corpse of
the late chief magistrate himself.

MRS. M'KINLEY's CONDITION.
Friends Think She Is Doing 81 Well AZ Any
Woman Under Her bereavement and
VIII be Spared for Long Time.

Canton, O., Sept. 2O.-The friends
of Mrs. Mckinley did not last night
regard her as being upon the verge
of collapse. On the contrary, they
expressed themselves as quite conf
dent that she will be spared to them
for q long time, at least in us good
state OF health as she has enjoyed
for the last five years. DR.. Mxey
said late yesterday afternoon: Mrs.
Mckinley is bearing up as well as
could be expected under the circum-
stances. She has been and is still
suffering intensely from her bereave-
ment and has frequently given way
to sobs and tears, but, for all that,
she has been doing as well as any
woman could do under similar cir
cumstances. We have no immediate
expectation Of anything but favor
able conditions in her case"
