Reeder and his manager, J. Q. Royce,
felt certain that they would control
Reeder's hopes fell when the ten votes
from Norton county went solid for Sla-
gel as he had figured all along on at
least two votes from the Norton delega-
ton. Three votes less for Slagel would
have changed the result Now the antlS
are as afraid as Reeder that all the
votes pledged to them viii not stand.
The workers have been laying down
hard" on the delegates in hopes OF IN
creasing the anti forces up TO a safer
figure At o'clock Royce seemed to
have given up all hope. He had been
confident that the Reeder forces would
control Royce yesterday morning ad-
vised the Reeder forces to agree to Sla-
gel for chairman if they were allowed
to name the CON mittee on credentials
The White and Wellington forces would
have agreed to it but the Reeder dele
gates would not.
The situation is as badly muddled as
ever. The way the vote stood on chair
man the antis have enough to elect II
the 81 votes could be landed to one
candidate, but they are divided be-
tween White and Wellington, and the
sentiment is that it is doubtful if the
81 would go solidly for dark horse
White was not worrying. You see
how it stands" he said. Anyone can
figure it out as they wish.
If Reeder could throw his Is votes
solid to a dark horse it would prob
ably result in a sufficient break in the
anti forces to elect the dark horse. but
the only man mentioned so far for such
a move is Royce, who would not he

Reeder's manage
J. c. Burrow still seems to be the
strong dark horse candidate, although
Dr. SIagel has been talked of. W. H.
Haskell, of Gaylord, who gave Reeder
a race at Hays City two years ago, has
been mentioned as a possibility, and
Elmer E. Ames is talked of more than
ever.
The belief is that Reeder viii not

BACK FROM NORTON.
Politicians Return From Sixth
District Convention.

The greater part of the Republican
state political aggregation came in from
Norton early this morning. They did
not see any use of their staying after
they had a chance to make a speech,
and those who did stay cannot now
reach Topeka until tomorrow morning
Among those who returned this morn
ing were Harry Richter, H. B. Miller,
Judge West. R. P. McColloch, Frank
Nelson, / L. Dayhoff, J. NJ. Simpson, f.
=. Knight and others. None of them
seem to think very highly of the De-
catur county delegation which did such
wholesale switching.
A Wellington supporter who came in
this morning with the crowd of candi-
dates, states that the Wellington forces
became sore" on White because White
took so much of Wellington's strength.
He says that White became very i'm
portant and walked "chesty' because
of the strength he developed, and this
made the Ellsworth county delegation
angry. Wellington's home advisers
from Ellsworth county advised him to
throw his support to Reeder in prefer
ence to White in case Of a break, assert
ing that the majority of the Republicans
of Ellsworth county were more favora-
bic to Reeder than to White, and today's
dispatches from Norton indicate that
Wellington acted on this advice. This,
in face Of the fact that wellington has
been making such q bitter fight on
Reeder and has been in collusion with
White all along, combining with White
to organize the convention against
Reeder, is a great surprise.

MORE LOOP HOLES.
Councilman Snyder Talks About
YinewOOd Franchise.

Councilman Snyder of the Second ward.
who is a street car conductor and knows
the street car business by experience, has
called attention to a new objection to the
Vinewood park railway franchise which he
voted against at the last council meet
ing:
Suppose it should be announced" says
Mr.. Snyder, that on next Sunday Vine
wood park would be opened and that cars
would leave Seventh and the avenue every
30 minutes for the park The Vinewood
park railway states that 1t has arranged
to purchase six 40-foOt cars Those six
cars would not make a hole in the crowd
which would want to go out to the park
That is why this talk about getting
NineWood park so that the Iaboring men
can enjoy it sounds so thin to me. If the
company were in earnest about making
Ninewood park q resort for laboring men,
why did they fight my amendment requir-
ing them to run special cars for laboring
men?
Furthermore, it is a noticeable fact
that there is not a lin IN that franchise
which requires the company tss run its cars
to NineWOOd park. 1t can run its cars to
Highland Park and stop.
AT the council meetings which have
been held not a single 1aboring man has
spoken in favor of The ordinance. I do
not believe that the laboring men of To
peSa are in favor Of the ordinance When
they understand it they VIII sanction the
action Of those cOuncilmen who opposed
the passage of the ordinance"

Town WIPED OUT
Destruction So Complete That

Clarion, Pa, April 24.-The fire at
Marienville, Forest county. consumed
$50 buildings and entailed a loss of
nearly $1,000 with not over $4,000 in
surance.
About one-half of the town is in
ashes and 500 people are homeless. The
flames spread from the town to a lum-
ber yard and from there to the woods.
and burned for two miles up the rail-
road. S. L. Pickens. editor Of the Mar
ienvilIe Express, was severely burned
about the face, hands and arms, as also
was Mr. Kendall of the firm of A Neil,
while several others were injured, but
not seriously. John Johnson, a tailor,
is missing, and it is supposed he was
burned in his tailor shop.
Among the buildings destroyed were
the postoffice opera house, three hotels.
Marienville Express. and Presbyterian
church.
The only business houses standing in
the town are the building in which are
located the Gold Standard bank one
store, one hotel and one restaurant.
The town was without fire protection
save a small chemical engine which was
practically useless It is doubtful II
the place will ever be rebuilt, as it was
a lumber town and the lumber is nearly
all out of this section.

WHOLE SUBSIDY MATTER
Is Being Considered by the British
Admiralty.

London, April 24.-In the house of
commons today the secretary of the ad-
miralty, Hugh o. Forster, reply
ing to a question said the admiralty
was considering the whole matter OF
ship subsidy with the view of defining
the rights of the admiralty in the event
of contingencies arising. such as the
suggested shipping combination When
the present form of agreement was set
tied upon no trade combinations under
foreign control were contemplated, but
the admiralty had appointed a commit
tee to consider and report on the pur-
pose and form of future subsidy
agreements. The admiralty in the
meanwhile had made arrangements
with the White Star line which pre-
cluded the possibility of any of their
armed cruisers or merchant steamers
being transferred to a foreign flag
without the consent of the admiralty
during the unexpired portion Of the ad-
miralty agreements. Important legal
points were involved, including the
questions whether in the event of war
there was anything to prevent these
companies from substituting a foreign
for the British flag at short notice, and
whether the admiralty has the means
of enforcing its right of pre-emption
or hire in such case; or, if by abandon
ing the subvention the companies could
claim that the right of pre- e-emption
ceased. All such points would be care
fully considered and the admiraltys S
rights would be aScertained

AN AZTEC SILVER MINE.
Discovery of Great Wealth Reported
From Phoenix, Ariz.

Phoenix, Ariz., April 24.-Word reach
ed here today of the discovery in North
ern Sonora of ancient silver mines of
immense size. In the Altar district near
Tubutama a party of American miners,
headed by Con O'Keefe, an Arizona
mineral expert, came upon a mine dump
of enormous size grown over entirely
with timber Searching further, they
founo a sealed entrance to workings,
and breaking these down. they discov-
cred what once was mine of extraOr-
dinary size.
Near the entrance was a big pile of
silver ingots and tools. Further in We're
several skeletons. They partly explored
the workings and found a vast amount
of silver ore in sight. This is believed
to have been worked by the Aztecs and
likely was closed when the Indians
drove the race from the country.
