Congressman Reeder Renominated.
The deadlock of the republican
convention of the Sixth congression-
al district at Norton was broken at
thursdays session by the renomina-
ton OF Congressman Reeder. Ten
ballots were taken Wednesday with
out material change from the be-
ginning and an adjournment was
agreed to after repeated trials. The
break in the combine was made by
Decatur county This delegation was
originally elected for Reeder, but it
was contested by another faction of
the party and an agreement was
signed by the six delegates that if
the combine would seat them they
would never vote for Reeder. The
committee might have seated the
contesting delegation and made sure
of the county's vote for the COM
blne, but L. Benton, who controlled
the six who were seated, made such
fair promises that it was decided that
1T would be better for the nominee
OF the convention to seat them. How
ever, the agreement was not kept
and when it was seen that Burrow
or Senator Hays B. White had a
chance to win, Benton threw the six
votes to Reeder. The combine orig
inally had SO votes to 70 for Reeder.
When Decatur county switched to
Reeder a number of combine" dele
gates changed their votes and on
the final ballot Reeder had "a votes,
Reeder 60 and Wellington 3.

ONLY 200 coRPsEs FOUND.
Strange and GruesOme Scenes in
Dead City of st. Pierre.

London. May ia dispatch to the
Reuter- Telegram Company from Fort
de France, Island of Martinique, says
that access to the town of st. Pierre is
being easier, but that to-day the activi-
ty of the volcano seems to be increas-
ing. The scenes within the dead city
are strange and gruesome, says the dis
patch. In the section of the tity
known as the Mouillege, no sign of fire
is visible, but everything seems to
have been rent and scattered as though
by a tornado. The iron bedsteads in
the hospitals are twisted. but bear no
mark of heat. The bedclothes and all
textiles in the hospital simply vanished.
About 200 corpses have been found
in the streets of St. Pierre, most of
them lying face downward. The CEN
trail quarter of the town and the fort
are buried several yards under Gin
ders. In the neighborhood of the creek
several houses We're found intact, but
their inhabitants were all dead and APP
peared to have been killed by lightning.
Here the bodies were lying, sitting and
reclining in curio1sly lifelike attitudes.
All possible sanitary precautions
have been taken at St. Pierre, con-
cludes the dispatch, but the stencil
there is awful.

OUR NAVY NOT INVINClBLE.
MIR. FOss Advocates the $77,OJO, 900
Naval Appropriation.

Washington, May 13.-The naval ap-
preparation bill. which provides for Two
new battleships. two armored cruisers
and two gunboats and carries a total
of $77,65O,0OO, was taken up in the
House to-day. The initial speech in
support of the measure by Representa-
tive Foss of Illinois, chairman of the
Naval Committee, attracted attention
for its note of warning against the
confident belief that our navy is
invincible. He declared that our VIC
tories at Manila and Santiago were due
to the fact that we were contending
with an effete and decaying nation,
and that our strength far unmatched
Spain in those contests.
Mr. Rixey of Virginia also spoke for
the bill. most of his time being given
to an argument for government con-
struction of warships.
The conference report on the omni-
bus claims bill was rejected on the
ground that claims not considered by
either branch of Congress had been in
serted in the measure by the conferees
and the measure was returned to con-
ference.

A CHANCE FOR RATHBONE.

Washington, May 1S.-The President
has directed Secretary Root to confer
upon the Cuban Court of Appeals the
right to review the testimony in the
case of Estes G. Rathbone, convicted
of completely in the Cuban postal
frauds, with authority to take addi-
tional evidence if it so desires. The
authority will be Immediately confer

act at once.
The method by which the President
proposes that Rathbone shall be given

by Secretary Root to Gen Wood 1t
is said that there is not now under Gu
ban law any means of taking appeal
to the Supreme Court in cases where
there has been an error in procedure
in the lower court; appeals can be
taken only where there have been err
rors of law. To make it possible to
review Rathbones case, therefore, Gen.
Wood has been ordered to promulgate
a special modification of existing law.
providing for full review by the Su-
preme Court of the United States in
such cases of all questions of law, fact
and procedure, and authorizing in
broad terms such judgment by the Su-

The order to Gen. Wood further says:
1T is the general rule in this coun-
try that a defendant in a criminal case
shall have at least one full review of
all such questions by an impartial tri-
bunal other than the trial court, and
that practice should be embodied in
the law of Cuba before we leave the
island, particularly in view of the fact
that citizens OF the United States may
be left there subject to convictions as
to which no such review has been had,
and to which there may exist no par

MINE WORKERS NOT UNITED.
So Evident, Though Majority viii
Probably Favor This step.

Hazleton, Pa, May 13.-The situation
regarding the continuation of the pres
ent total suspension of work in the
anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvarla,
is a triie clouded tonight. The APP
parent overwhelming sentiment for a
strike which was in evidence Yesterday
is not quite so prominent now, and
predictions were freely made tonight
that whatever the delegates IN :he cen
vention here tomorrow determine
upon, the winning side will have only Il
bare majority. President A.itchell and
his fellow officials still maintain their
silence and every attempt that has been
made to get their opinion af the sit
uation has proved futile. The indica-
tons are, however, that the delegates
faVoring a strike are in the majority
and win win their fight in the convcn-
ton. The upper district, it is known,
is not unit on the question of a per-
manent strike, but it is confidently be-
lieved that the pro-strike delegates in
the middle and lower regions are num-
erous enough to overcome the consid-
cradle anti-strike sentiment in the up
per region.

art of Nevada, Says-Het He AdVO-
Gates Its Use in Philippines.
Washington, May 13.-Before pro-
ceeding to the consideration of
the Philippine government bill to-day
the Senate passed the agricultural ap-
preparation bill. In a speech on the
Philippine measure Mr.. Stewart of Ne
vada warned the minority that no po-
litical gain would accrue to them by
reason of"their attacks upon the army"
The American people had always sup
ported the army and always would. He
declared that for us now to take down
the American flag from the Philippines
would be a national disgrace. While
discussing the proposed coinage of the
silver dollar for the Philippines, Mr..
Stewart declared that the silver ques-
ton in this country was dead, at least
for the present. on account of the large
output of gold.
In brief statement Mr.. Lodge of
Massa chusetts explained the action of
the committee in providing for the
coinage of dollar to take the place
of the Mexican dollar now in use in
the islands.
Mr.. Tillman inquired of Mr. Stewart
why it was intended to give the Philip
pines the silver dollar proposed in the
bill to be coined.
Il do not see," he suggested why If
this silver dollar is blessing for the
Filipinos we should not get little of il
ourselves.
Mr.. Stewart said that for time i'm
memorial the Mexican dollar had been
used as standard in the Philippines.
MIR. Tillman twitted Mr.. Stewart
with change of his views on the sill
yer question.
The Nevada senator warmly denied
the imputation, intimating that Mr..
Tillman could not understand the ar
gument he had made. His views. he
said, had not changed. For the pres
ent, 1t least he said, the silver ques-
ton was dead because the enormous
output of gold had made good times.
Mr.. Bacon jocularly asked Mr.. Stew
art if he thought the decentralization of
silver in 1873 was a crime"
IF it was done Intentionally" re-
piled Mr.. Stewart, 1T was an infam-
Gus crime.
This reference to an expression of
Mr.. Stewart in the long silver debates
caused senator's to smile
Mr.. Cullom presented the conference
report on the Cuban diplomatic and
